what's my topic?

First of all, what am I supposed to do with those extra pages that I can create?  I tried it once and it only ended in failure.  Sweet, sweet failure.

Anyways.  I also realized that I just posted 5... things last night and almost beat my record for amount of posts in a year.  So I decided to actually post another in order to beat it and so that it didn't look quite so pathetic that I posted five things right after the other.

I was lookin' through the page statistics... page and I saw a button that said I could turn off the thing that let it also track my page views.  As in, the views that I myself gave to the blog.  And I was like:

No.

And that's how it ended.  I don't want to know how many people see this!!  I like to bask in the ignorant knowledge that I am the only one who sees what I write.  It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I think I was gonna go on about some of my otome games but right now I feel like I wasn't.  Maybe...?  I have no idea.
So let's just talk about otome!!  Prepare yourself

To start things off, otome games are games that are specifically oriented towards young girls.  They have male counterparts that I personally find much more prevalent in the English-speaking world.  The most basic otome game is a dating simulation where you get a certain number of boys that you may "target" and hope to woo.  They can get a bit more complicated such as having RPG-elements, battle modes, or by simply being instead these games called visual novels.  Visual novels differ from otome games because it's more like you are simply in control of a character and making some life-changing decisions for her.  Otome games will often times allow you to move around a city/country to play mini-games or to talk to the random guys that appear.  For a shy, socially awkward person like myself, it's wonderful!

Some of the best games I've played are the following:
Starry☆Sky 
Loren The Amazon Princess
(P)lanets - The Life of Normalcy has Ended
RE: Alistair++

Unfortunately only the last two are free games.  But the other two are definitely worth the bucks!  The Starry☆Sky series, however, is also in Japanese and there is only an English patch out there for ~ In Spring~.  I have heard wonderful things about the others though and I have it from a trusted source that an American company may soon be officially translating and selling them in the United States (if the voice actors and their agencies don't mess that up for us that is).  For LTAP, there is a demo that you can play (and it's also naturally in English!) but for the entire game and expansion, you must pay.

All of those games are very fun and very different.  Starry☆Sky is centered on a girl (that you may rename) who is somehow involved with many boys throughout her school.  I have no idea whether or not it's supposed to be like she's in an alternate universe each game where she didn't romance a guy from the last game or if she just has a lot of romance goin' on.  If that makes sense.  Loren can be played by both boys and girls because well you have that option.  Do you play as Saren or Elenor?  That's your choice and there are both straight and gay options for both of them.  The gameplay is by far the most intriguing due to the RPG and turn-based battle elements implemented.  However, it also contains some very brief nudity (that, however, may be turned off if you so choose).  It's really my favorite game out of all of them (added to the fact that you don't have to do exact certain things to succeed in a romance such as obscurely buy the right dress and just so happen to buy the correct book before a certain encounter.  It's very simple and the artwork is probably the most beautiful.  Unless you really enjoy the shoujo manga style work that is featured in the Starry☆Sky series.

(P)lanets is centered around a girl who somehow manages to suddenly be able to read minds.  She is then sent to a special school for special people like her with special powers.  I'm only saying special because... I can't spell the word that I know applies to her.  But anyways!  She then must talk to boys and do stuff and so on.  RE: Alistair++ is about a girl who plays a lot of video games and because of a certain event, she vows to get revenge on the boy who did it.  She then must sort the boy who she must hate and the other two boys who are equally adorable.

But I've ranted enough.  Time for you to enjoy those wonderful games I've just told you about.

Besides, I have Park Shin Hye news to stalk

 

 

I LIED

EVERY ANGRY WORD IN THE UNIVERSE BELONGS IN THIS POST RIGHT NOW.

THE DUMBASS DOWNLOAD TIMED OUT.  AGAIN.  BECAUSE ONCE WAS APPARENTLY NOT ENOUGH.

SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW.
JUST.
SO.
ANGRY.

help

last time!

This is the last post I'll make today!  I swear!  It's just that I remembered something that I just had to share!!

Apparently Si Yoon is a really good kisser.  Either that or the production company really encourages and supports amazing kissing between its actors.  Or something like because it isn't cable or a basic network show or something so they have the freedom to be all scandalous.  Something like that!  But it's more reason to be super happy!!

Now I just gotta wait till January for the first episode to air!!!
And an hour for my download to finish

this is awkward

OKAY so I know I could just edit my two last posts if I wanted to, but I just really want to have more posts in November!!

So I was just real quick goin' over my old posts when I saw that I wrote that I really wanted Shin Hye and Maki to do something that would be really exciting with a hot guy as the main romantic lead.

And guess what.

I EFFING GOT MY WISH!!!!

Seriously!!  Maki is gonna be co-starring with Nishikido Ryo in some movie that apparently has romance going on between the two.  And this time, it won't be like AtaDan where Maki and Sho's characters were just like:

Sho: Remember when I told you that I liked you?
Maki: Oh... Yeah and-
Sho: But it's okay.  I know you don't feel the same.  Just forget it.
*Sho walks away*
Maki: But I would've been your girlfriend...
END SCENE

Really.  I mean, seriously.  That's it?  Whatever.  But anyways!  I'm so excited!!  I've seriously always dreamed of them being in a pairing together but I never imagined my dream would come true!!!

Now onto PSH's news:

Shin Hye is gonna be in an actual romantic comedy with an effing hot ass guy!!  His name is Yoon Si Yoon and he can actually act!  Not only that, but the series is produced by the same company that already produced two other real successful dramas that were real popular.  So happy~!!!!!

I should wish for things more often

WHOA

So I just realized how long of a post my last post was.  Like, it was amazingly long.  You know, by my standards at least.

But anyways, I suddenly and randomly felt like posting some pictures and videos.  Or just one of each.  I also wanted to have more than just one post in the month of November.

And OMO!  I just realized I have to tell you guys about all of the awesome otome games I've discovered!!  But... maybe another time.... >_>

This is Park Shin Hye, the actress I talked about in the last post:

Super pretty, I know :P
Message me/comment if you'd like to see more of her.  I have a lot of pictures

This is a funny comic that I really enjoy reading.  It's pretty much centered around the Scandinavian countries but also includes the other countries from around the world.
So basically, unless you're super sensitive about how your country is portrayed then I think you'll like it!

Here's the link: http://satwcomic.com/
You all really should check it out.  I love those adorable little countries!!

This is a wonderful macro made by some wonderful people whom I do not know the names of:

Oh.. Wooyoung

This here is the link to that awesome show I was talking about that had Shin Hye and Seung Gi as guests.  It was beyond funny.  It'll open in a new window.  Just FYI.


But that's all I got for now.  Or, at least, all I'm willing to give :)

And hey, guess what!  My download only has 2 hours left now!!

long time no write~

Bonjour mes amies!!

It truly has been a long time huh?  Well, probably no more than last time :)

Anyway!  I was just gonna rant again.  What's new, am I right?

So my friends and I were gonna start (or rather, restart) a story together.  It was called The War of Rebels and Angels but was kinda crappy.  And by kinda, I mean very.  It didn't really have a direction, there wasn't any real plot goin' on (that the readers would be able to discern that is), and we never introduced the setting!  You don't even understand how much that upsets me.  But like I was saying, it was kind of crazy and unorganized and we didn't really plan it out properly or give it structure.  Which I'm ashamed of.  So I'm happy that we're gonna be rebooting it.  It'll be sort of that same story but with hopefully more class.  Instead of a high fantasy setting, it'll be more low fantasy such as no fairies and supah magic.  There will still be magic-using but with more control and less just randomly throwing it around.  I'm also pretty sure the characters aren't gonna be
a) completely undeveloped and shallow,
b) amazingly awesome at pretty much everything they choose to do,
c) exactly the same as the other characters in the story other than the amount of craziness they handled.

Legit.  But anyways.  I know it's supposed to be anyway but I just don't care.

So I don't know if I mentioned (probably didn't) but I'm a big fan of the Korean actress Park Shin Hye.  She's awesome.  But like I was saying.  She recently guested on this kind of gaming/variety show called Running Man where the normal teams plus the guests do various missions/games.  She was there with this guy who I originally didn't like (but now adore due to the episode) and it was awesome.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE WHICH SHE IS ALSO IN THAT HAPPENS TO AIR THIS SUNDAY!!!!  

*ahem*
Now where was I?  What's funny is that the guy I didn't like to begin with {Lee Seung Gi} was pretty much loved by the rest of the PSH fandom.  I (at the time) disapproved.  After having watched the episode of them together and their adorableness (added with Shin Hye's aegyo as she attempted to convince Seung Gi to not take her out of the final game), I am totally in love with the pairing!!  I now desperately want the two of them to be in a romantic drama or movie!!!  DESPERATELY!!!!!  Which is honestly hilarious because I initially extremely opposed to the idea.  Now I must has them togetha!!

But yeah that's really all I gotta say about that.

It's kind of funny (and a bit sad) that I don't post those little 'of the day' things anymore.  I just got tired of looking and then uploading and then doing all that stuff that goes with it.  *sighs*

I'm super tired right now.  And I don't really even know why.  My eyes are like drooping and tearing up as I type.  It's like they can't take it anymore.  "NO MORE COMPUTER!" they say.  They don't understand why I persist.  And neither do I, my friends.

I'm also terribly pissed off.  Or I was 'till I calmed down a bit.  I was downloading this video that was super HD and I was happy.  It took forever to download (like 5-6 hrs or something) but it was okay.  Because I started early in the day and it was finally only 15 minutes left of downloading!
BUT THEN MY FUCKING INTERNET SHUTDOWN!  AND GOOGLE CHROME IS A BITCH THAT DOESN'T LIKE HAVING NO INTERNET CONNECTION DURING DOWNLOADS.
So there was a "network timeout" and I was screwed.

Forgive me for my outburst.  But it was needed.  But seriously.  Out of 1.6, I had 1.5 downloaded.  And it wouldn't effing let me pick up from there!!  How much bullshit is that?!

*cries emotionally in a corner*

It's okay.  *wipes tears away*  I'll survive.  Just gotta survive 4 more hours before I can go to sleep.  No big deal...

I love how my time on this thing is still screwed up.  Even though I thought I fixed it, it's simply now three hours behind.  Whatevs.

My mom wants me to take a shower.  But no I say!
I have a really soft blanket.  Like, it is super soft.

I love it.

Well I think that's all I have to type about tonight.  It's been fun.
Peace out, beyotches!


P.S.
Is anyone else annoyed by the pink font?  Or is it just my super tired and sleep-depraved eyes??  Anyone?  Bueller?  Bueller?
