NaNoWriMo Madness!

Oh my God, I am insane.

I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month this year, so my November will consist of an insane amount of forced creativity.

Oddly enough, it hasn't been so bad. Yet. I am being bombarded with a ton of new art ideas that I'm forcing myself to shelf for the time being.

Don't worry, I'm not overly optimistic. After all I'm still waiting for a huge writer's block to try and squash me towards the end of the project. Good thing I keep a mallet at the ready. *grins*

Fear the cuteness that is Sackboy!

My boyfriend decided to buy his Wii a friend, since he was looking rather lonely with only the projector and sound system for company. So Andy went out and got a PS3 to keep the little guy company . . . and play LittleBigPlanet.

Now being the gaming nerd he is, (I'm one too, heh.) he reserved the game at both Gamestop and BestBuy, receiving two different special codes for his efforts. (He only picked up one of the reserve copies.) So now his Sackboy had an adorable Kratos costume from Gamestop and an equally adorable Nariko costume from BestBuy. ^_^

The costume he's using is a modified Nariko (Heavenly Sword) with black streaks in her hair and fangs. *squeals* Kawaii!

So I was over at his house on Sunday and he had finally got the second controller working so we could do the 2 player parts of the levels.

We played for six hours. Seriously.

It's cute, adorable, and insanely fun. The music so far has been catchy and enjoyable, the levels are fun, although Andy and I will forever loathe bomb levels in any form. And my sackboy is a bit "special". *sighs* It's hard to explain, but I've named him Fred and gave him a purple helmet. There's a reason for that. (Anybody who's seen Stephen Lynch's special on Comedy Central should be in hysterics right about now.) The fangs I gave him were just because I thought they looked cute when he smiled. ^_^


Oh! My sister and I went to the Yu-Gi-Oh card preview last weekend. It was the first one we'd ever gone to so we were a bit nervous. There were a couple of other girls there, but I don't think either of them played. One looked like she was there with her son and the other was a little girl there with her brother. So it was just me, my sister, and a whole bunch of guys . . . who were all terrified of us. (We literally ended up being alone in the center of the room.) We didn't get to duel anyone new (which we expected), but some of them did talk with us a bit, and we learned there were plenty of people in our area that play and are over the age of 18. We're going to try and participate with the duels held on our side of town. We both really need the practice and the socialization couldn't hurt. But the store they did the premier at is on the other side of town, so having a place nearby is a godsend.

You see, the thing the two of us have learned from being Computer Networking majors, is that male nerds need time to get acclimated to females in their presence. If you are patient with them, eventually with repeated exposure, they grow used to you and you can finally make some new friends. ^_^v
