I went to bed right after I wrote you, actually. Almost right after. Some nights, I stay up until 5:30 or 6! (Those nights, I'm usually hanging out with friends, however.) I am a "night owl."

Portland is the biggest city in Oregon. Beaverton, which is right next to it, is the city my brother lives in. Unfortunately, there really isn't that much of the way in public transportation between distances like the one between Albany (the town I'm in now) and Portland. I'd pretty much have to drive every day in order to commute back and forth. That would be the gas... My brother has talked about me staying with his family on days that I'd have work, though.

If you enjoy doing something, you should just do it. Screw if you're "good at it" or not When I was 13-16, I was a lot worse at it than I am now. But I liked it, so I kept at it. And now... I'm about as good as I am today, heh.

Friggen' dog has been barking a lot this morning... I wonder if he's going to become one of those dogs who barks at leaves that fall on the ground. No kids, so he needs to take their place, I suppose.

Best wishes to you too, ma'am Anyhoo...

The max level had been 50, and so everything was placed on a different scale as far as levels. Not necessarily less of a challenge, because you are a much lower level as well.

There are three things, really, that "hinders" the NES version but in my eyes gives it more challenge.

There is no auto-target. If your Thief is set to attack an Ogre and it dies before he attacks, his round is then null. You learn to strategically spread your attacks and have to gauge the average HP of the monsters versus how much damage each character is capable of dealing.

Second is there was a limitation on equipment. Each person in the party could "carry" four weapons and four pieces of armor. This makes you have to choose between hanging onto the item that is useful equipped or the one you can use in battle for a free effect.

Third is the fact that there are no "extra areas" with uber equipment and stuff that deters from the original. Levels are hard to come by, and very important in being able to beat the game. I usually am around Level 25 by the end, if that is any indication. I've beaten the game before as low as at 20, although that was quite the task.

Yeah, far too many people dismiss it for the characters but I find it great that there is that initial variety available. It is quite the challenge if you play the old NES version, and when it came out the game was simply revolutionary. It was what got me into RPGs, and solidified my heart into video games even moreso than Legend of Zelda or Super Mario Brothers had.

Heh, it's 4 AM, I still haven't gone to bed. I decided to start ripping a bunch of CD's to my computer that I wanted to listen to on my mp3 player. I should go to bed... but I'll talk to you first! ^^

The city my brother lives in is a bit bigger than the city I live in now. There is probably a bit more to do there, and it's close to an even bigger city (the biggest in the state) so it's basically a metropolitan area. I could go to the City via a public transet thingy, probably. It's an hour and a half (or an hour, depending on how you drive) north of here, so I'd have to move totally. I don't know how practical it would be, but I've felt a bit lately like staying here might just be a dead end. I'd also be moving away from all my friends...

I am feeling better today, thankee ma'am. It's okay if there's not much to talk about. I will think of questions to ask you, maybe... hm...

...you like drawing? Heh. I draw a lot; like my avatar and my banner. That fox character is actually named "Telegraph." I'm thinking of making it his last name, however, so his first name would be "Todd Telegraph." Violet told me I should do a web comic, which I've been thinking about doing, but I'm lazy.

You ever play any of the Star Ocean games? I'm playing the first one for the PSP right now. Didn't play it today, though. But it seems to be the one that is drawing me in the most; I also played half of the second one, and a portion of the third one. On the second one, I got to disk two, and thought, "...wait a second. How long is this game, anyway?!!" And got overwhelmed by the length. The third one, somehow I got to a point where my characters were severely underpowered, and levelling up seemed to be taking forever, so I just got tired of it and played FFXII instead, heh.

Hope you're enjoying your day! I think I'll go to bed, now... Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

Oh, I bet you I can find one for you. Just you wait. ;]

Yeah, I'm in a foul mood about it myself, as you might imagine, heh. Dunno what I'm going to do next... probably the same thing I was doing before. I don't really blame the guy who got the job, though; I blame my boss. Or maybe I'll move up north to the bigger city that my brother lives in, like I was thinking about doing this past Summer. I probably shouldn't have been caught off guard by this, really.

Heh heh, I see. Sorry. I won't mention it again. And I'm not really sure if you ever told me about the crazy girl, really. It seemed like you might have.

It's all good if you don't have much to talk about. I'm in a sulky kind of mood right now anyway. Maybe with the newly found freetime, I can get more writing in for my book! Yay. And listen to that Dream Theater song, and sing and record it. I look forward to hearing your song Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

Are you sure? I'm sure I've seen an ugly baby before. But surely you can find a trace of cuteness in any cherubs, right, being a girl and all?

Had my interview this morning. Was pretty nervous, but they told me I did a good job (the principal did, anyway; my boss gave me some suggestions on places where I should've given more detailed descriptions.) I feel good about it, though. I'll let you know tomorrow if I got it or not (they said they'd know by this afternoon.) Got up earlier than normal. Tired...

Heh, I liked the english dubbed version of Deathnote. Particularly the guy who voiced L; he did a great job portraying an eccentric individual; better than the original Japanese, even (although I don't speak Japanese, so that may not be a fair assessment. Kinda like how I prefer Cary Elwes as the Baron in The Cat Returns over the Japanese, but then again, Elwes is a great actor with a great voice. He's Westley!)

Yeah, if someone acts suspicious, I might keep an eye on them. Like my brother's friends. I'm not always sure when they're being serious or they're just joking around/being weird/giving me crap. It's really hard to judge how I should react, and there's also a large age difference... I've kind of come to the conclusion that I like most of them, but that I'm reluctant to hang out with them (the less crazy ones I could hang with, though.) Which one was the crazy woman, btw? Also, the girl who didn't message you sounds like she was trying to see how you'd react to that, eh? That's how some people try to get to know you; by seeing how you'll react to the crap they pull on you.

Inherited genes, eh? Yeah... my whole family got a lot of my dad's stubbornness, haha. Hopefully I inherited enough of my mother's kindness to offset my dad's grumpiness.

I know how it is. I remember days sittng around the house, doing nothing. I recall one time in particular when my parents were on vacation, it was a saturday, and I spent the whole day in the house. I was watching TV and playing Pokemon, and I made myself a TV dinner. No human contact the whole day, except maybe a phone call for my mom.

You have fun, now, with the animes and such Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

Well at least you managed to slam those breaks good, knowing myself right it feels like I'd rather just run the kid over or drive into a ditch. ...orsomething. I hate animals on the road too, I always think we'll run over them or something, especially birds, they're so damn cocky and really don't move until in like the last second or something ughhh!

I am REALLY no good with kids. At ALL. I feel really silly around them, i really don't remember how to interact with them. Or well, it takes a while before I feel comfortable enough around them anyway, recently I had to play with this 7 year old for a whole day, a daughter to one of my mom's friends. First I just wanted to melt away and disappear, but then I loosened up a little and at the end of the day she didn't want to leave. xD I felt oddly accomplished as a human being.
Hmmm we have kindergarden. Our first part of school is "lågstadiet" (low level), ages 6-9. Then you move up into "mellanstadiet" (middle level sort of) age 10-12. Then we've got "högstadiet" (high level...sort of), age 13-15. And Gymnasiet, which is most commonly a three years education too, ages 16-19. But I think there are some programs that you take four years or even two perhaps, but I'm not sure. Then it's usually University. Unless you're taking a program that prepares you for some actual job in Gymnasiet, you don't really get anything unless you attend the University too. I think I might take a year off before University though, after 13 years of school I could probably use to do something else for a while. xD;

Aah. o_o I love winter really, so I hope we'll get any snow. But autumn is probably my favourite season still, somehow.
I guess I'm the silent type around people I don't know that well, but like in my own class, I'm probably one of the big talkers, I usually get some complaints for that when we have these...parent..meet ups. But it's really more for my own sake than that it's bothering others; I don't get much done. xD;

Even the ugliest babies are cute to you?

Whoa, that was...a pretty deep test. xD The only thing we had to do on place was drawing a bottle + two lemons + a....box and then we were interviewed. It was still kinda awkward though, and back then I was SO shy, I've grown up a lot in that department, I realize now when I think about it.

A very bad almost-accident? What happened? Well considering how many cars there are out there on the road, the actual accidents are uncommon I guess, but still. ....and secondly, I just can't imagine myself behind the wheel. xD The thought of me sitting there, and driving, is ridiculous haha. Especially since I look like..13 or something. XD

Ah 8D I have a friend who wants to become a teacher. Are you interested in becoming a teacher for younger or older children? For the selectable courses I was considering between psychology or philosophy, but my friends talked me out of taking philosophy, they said I already thought too much about stuff anyway. xD..perhaps they're right.

Oh yes, we used to have TONS of snow christmas eve. But these last four years we've had pretty much none. Just like..a thin layer at most. It's like someone has pushed the seasons a little forward, if we get major snow now, it's usually not before the middle of january now. But how is it with the snow in your parts? o_o Do you live in an area where snow is common or just...well not common.
AND I KNOW, ME TOO. XD I sit with my back against the window, and every time I turn around to look out, I go all "oh" when I realize it's not snow outside.

I don't really known.Maybe I never bother or try.I usually don't watch what I doing I just do it.But that is a interesting question.I'll try see why never did that. And I wasn't really sad just confused.No one asked why I wanted to be friends with them they just say yes.I'm glade you wanted to know.I like your personality.

Yes, I watched Deathnote earlier this year. My friend owned volume 1 on DVD, and I ordered volume 2 online just so I could watch the rest, I liked it so much. And then I was confused about the ending, so I bought the final volume of the manga to see if it could clear anything up for me. Something terrible... I was actually rooting for Light at the end. I didn't like Near or Mello at all. Although I did like the guy with the afro; he was my favorite. Aside from L.

I compare work and relationships because I have relationships with my coworkers, and trust them that they are being honest with me. It was an example of how I am in general with people. I'm not saying that it is particularly wise, but that is how I am; I trust someone until he or she gives me a reason not to. Everything you've said to me could be a lie, but if I never meet you, it doesn't really matter; I won't find out. So I can go on believing that you're the cute [insert nationality here] girl I talk to on TFF. If I ever meet you in real life... well, I hope you're telling the truth about yourself, because I am. See, I've found that even if I give out my full name and where I live, no one has come to kill me yet. Hopefully you won't, either Although you do have a deathnote...

I will never be like that. My dad is like that, so I will not be like that. Although then again, sometimes when I see kids walking around where they shouldn't be at night, I get really grumpy, because I know kids do stupid crap for no reason, and then I have to clean up after them... and I'm glad you're happy for my team I hope they don't go into a skid, either.

Well yeah, I suppose that does sound boring... you should've gone for a walk or something. Or read more of my story Hope you weren't too hard on your brother. Have a nice night! Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

Yeah, go ahead and put those pictures up. That would be cool.

I think I'm pretty naive, sometimes. I was talking about this with the guy I work with the other night. There have been people we have worked with who have been less than honest about their work; skipping rooms if they "looked clean," going on people's computers to access the internet, getting done early... I kind of just took for granted that these people were doing their jobs when I worked with them, and that they were just fast, but they were found out (at least one was.) So I tend to be trusting. Or sometimes, I know a person is lying, but I just play along anyway. How can you tell when I'm doing which one?

Heh, did I give you too much information? Sorry, ha. Sometimes I don't think about these things. It's like, "This bit of information is necessary to tell the story, regardless of how unpleasant it may be."

A phase, eh? That I'll grow out of? I dunno if I'll grow out of it. I'm just starting to appreciate different things, I think. Is it maturity? Or is it getting older? You always know a band is too old to rock out anymore when they state they've made their "mature album." Still like my fast, hard music, though. If I'm ever in a band, and I put out "The Mature Album," you will know what that means, ha.

So my team won again last night! Yay! They won in a place they hadn't won in for 40 years... And they won fairly decisively, too. So that's good.

Well, "normal" can be good, eh? Too much excitement might leave you worn out. Besides, you will be starting something new soon, won't you? (I won't say what it is. I remember, heh.) Have fun doing the "normal" stuff! Anyhoo...
