Yeah, you can see how excited I am about it. :DAnyway, so... I got my short story back from my Writer's Craft teacher, and apparently it's not "realistic" if a girl doesn't care that her fiance's disappeared for a month. Who knew?And, guess what? I'm moving!! YEAH!! Not that I don't like this home, or anything, it's just that I GET TO HAVE MY OWN ROOM!! I'm so excited!Originally, it was going to be in the basement, but apparently, I'll hole up in there and live like a hermit if I'm ever allowed down there (especially if I get my own Netbook). So, I get an upstairs room. :DSo, I was reading on my PSP when it just turned off. o.0 It's never done that before. I decided to research my PSP's battery life span, and... got nothing.But I found out that Sony's going to release an awesome new PSP this December!! It's called the "Next Generation Portable."And I'll get to play Uncharted on it!! I LOVE Uncharted! I even downloaded the soundtrack. :PMaybe I'll even get to play Assassin's Creed. I really hope so. I love Assassin's Creed, especially when they came out with that crossbow. It was like, "Oh, that guard's suspicious," *whip out crossbow* "Not anymore." Before, I had to use throwing knives. But, personally, I'm a fan of jumping off the ledge and striking them from the air. :PI heard the next one is with a girl Assassin. I really hope so. That would be totally cool.My brother's playing Red Dead Redemption right now, but I think I'll be able to take a go at it during the Break. It looks like fun.I'll probably have a job by then, so I'm going to buy the NGP the first month it comes out.Anyway, I've made a list of all the things I'm going to do this week (which, despite my procrastinating tendencies, I hopefully will get to):- Finish editing short story.
- Write in journal everyday.
- Finish that Fictionpress story I started in Grade 9 (and never even got to 5000 words, despite all my reviewers' efforts).
- PAINT!! (I bought a paint set from Dollarama and I'm going to paint my wooden box that I keep all my special coins in).
- Buy fancy stationary.
- Practice different methods of writing.
- Finish all my Java programs (especially that String game that was supposed to be an archaic sort of Hangman).
- Finish up to Chapter 3 in my Advanced Functions homework (Night school is amazing--I didn't do any homework and I'm getting a 98).
- Apply for jobs (summer, now, whatever)***(COMPLETE MUST)
And, if I think of anything else, I'll add to it.So... yeah. This feels more like my friend's (I'll call her ARR) post more than anything.I know it's completely unusual for me to write in this style, but... I think I like it.It's refreshing. :D
I just went back to the Starcraft 2 site today, and I found the April Fools Joke Blizzard had put up. The Terra-Tron, who sounds a lot like Megatron. My favourite quotes that the Terra-Tron says is "We are more than meets the eye," or "Terratron, Terrorize!" Love that one.
Anyway, Starcraft is one of my most favourite video games ever! I've been playing it a lot since I was young. My favourite character is the villain in Starcraft: Brood War, Sarah Kerrigan. She used to be a psychic human who was taken in by the confederates (the government for the humans in the game) to be trained as an assasin, but she escaped and joined the rebel group The Sons of Korhol. Anyway, in one of the missions in the original Starcraft, Arcturus Mengsk, the leader of the rebel group, betrayed her and left her for dead as the evil alien Zerg creatures surrounded the planet. But, instead of killing her, they experimented on her and made her into one of them, an evil vengeance-driven zerg. After the Overmind (The leader of the Zerg) was destroyed, she used the rest of the heroes in the game to destroy the reincarnated baby Overmind and make her the leader of the zerg, making them unlikely allies. Then she turned back on them and killed half of the heroes in the game, and left the others to survive as a warning. She is who they made her into. That just goes to show... what goes around comes around.
Some of my favourite quotes are:
- "Kerrigan:
- Oh, come on, Arcturus. Did you really think that I would allow you to come into power again? You practically fed me to the Zerg on Tarsonis. You're directly responsible for the hell I've been through. Did you honestly think that I would let you get away with that?
- Arcturus Mengsk:
- But you said revenge was secondary to defeating the UED!
- Kerrigan:
- I lied. I liberated this planet because it was the UED's primary staging point, not because I was under any obligation to you. I used you to destroy the Psi Disrupter and now that I've got my broods back, you're no longer necessary for my plans. I think I'll leave you here, Arcturus, among the ashes of your precious Dominion. I want you to live to see me rise to power and I want you to always remember, in your most private moments, that it was you who let me loose in the first place."
And...
- "Kerrigan:
- You know, Admiral, I think I'll just massacre your remaining troops and watch you die in agony. How would that be?
- Admiral DuGalle:
- You vastly underestimate me, my dear.
- Kerrigan:
- I don't think so, Admiral. You see, at this point, I'm pretty much the Queen Bitch of the Universe. And not all of your little soldiers or space ships will stand in my way again."
And, also,
- "Kerrigan:
- Once again I stand atop the broken bodies of my enemies... Victorious but not unscarred. The Earth-borne Directorate has been destroyed. And the Overmind lies dead and trampled beneath the ashes of Char. As for my unlikely allies, I think that I shall allow them a reprieve. For in time I will seek to test their resolve, and their strengths. They will all be mine in the end, for I am the Queen of Blades. None shall ever dispute my rule again."
Starcraft is one of the best video games ever! My second favourite would probably be Prince of Persia, even though the fourth one is a little too easy, since there's barely any combinations for different attacks.
