| People who aren't actually gay need to stop being so offended about butt sex jokes. Emphasis on jokes. Geez.

| Suikoden--the most unintentionally (or possibly intentionally)
homosexual RPG series known to man. That translation team was either
really shitty or just put a whole lot of effort into creating a gay
subtext. Observe:
"You sure know how to treat a man."--Star Dragon Sword to Viktor
"I must have a good, long talk with Flik..."--Viktor to McDohl *wink-wink*
"Hurry up and come!"--Viktor to Gremio
"I thought I told you to take care of your toys."--Flik to Viktor
"Riou, do you...want my carrots?"--Jowy to Riou
"Hey hey hey, Riou. So there's something going on between you and Shu, eh?"--Nanami to Riou
"I'm tired, so let's do it later."--Futch to Riou
"I'm going to get a lot of use out of that clever mouth of yours."--Shu to Fitcher
"He's not worth much, but maybe you can make a man out of my son."--Lepant to Riou
"Miklotov..."--Camus to Miklotov
"Camus..."--Miklotov to Camus
This exchange occurs at least half a dozen times. Jesus Christ, just drop the pretense and go fuck each other already!
Add to this the characters who are actually supposed to be gay, like
Milich, Simone, and Vincent, and you have one hell of a liberal game.
Meh, at least a lot of the guys you can slash are pretty enough. God, I
love those games (expect 4, which I hate). I'm also a shameless yaoi fangirl.
Oh, and don't forget this non-gay, but nevertheless hilarious quote from Mathiu:
"Oh my god! All this killing in front of a children!"

| God, Suikoden 4 sucked ass. Seriously, the only reason I forced myself
to play through the whole fucking thing was because I consider myself a
Suikoden fan and am therefore obligated to do so. I didn't even bother
to recruit all 108 of those little fuckers like I did in the previous
three games, because that would mean that I'd have to spend more time
with that god-awful game, which would've made me kill myself. Why the
fuck was this game made? Suikoden is my favorite RPG
series ever, and its games are probably the only console games (besides
Zelda) that continue to hold my interest. And then Komani goes and
churns out this piece of shit... Now I have to go back and replay
Suikoden 2 just to get that awful taste out of my mouth. Just for the
record, Flik is dead sexy. I totally want his pixelated sprite ass.
Eh, as long as I'm writing in this thing again, I might as well mention
my job as a software tester these days at Nesbit Systems, Inc. Yeah, so
I'm a software tester. They won't let me do any programming, but I
still make $15 per hour, which is way more than I expected. It's a
pretty good gig. A little boring at times, but that's okay, because
I'll have over $4000 by the end of the summer. That's more than enough
for a spiffy new laptop. I've had my eyes on an HP Pavilion zd8000,
which I should be able to get for around $1000 after rebate. So yeah,
good stuff.
And another thing, this whole 9-hours-per-day weekday work schedule
really feels weird. I almost feel like...an adult. I get treated like
one too. I mean, going to staff meetings and attending conference calls
and commuting to work (a 50-minute-drive away) and stuff like that. It's a strange feeling. I don't know if I like
it or not, because no one else outside of work treats me like an adult.
I do want to be respected, but still...I'm not even 19 yet...
Also, I have to comment on the apparent inability of some of my high
school friends to move on with their lives (out of respect, I won't
mention any names). Seriously, it's just sad when you've had an entire
year of exposure to life beyond Mommy and Daddy's backyard, but you
still don't seem to have grown at all as a person. Or maybe I've just
changed too much... Whatever. I guess a lot of the stuff I used to do
for fun in high school don't seem that fun to do anymore. I blame my newfound
acquaintance with alcohol. Man, I'm pretty fucking sad too, aren't I?

| Dude! My matrix algebra final brought my overall grade in that class
from a D up to a B! I knew I did okay on that exam, but I had no idea
that I did that
well. On the downside, I missed my B in 251 by just a little. I don't
know how the final grades were curved, but I had a 76 in that class for
my overall score, and the class average was around a 77 to 78, so I
couldn't have missed the B by too far. Oh, well. At least I can take
consolation in the fact that it's a high C. Also, I got a B in 211. So
my finals grades are: A in chem, B in 211, B in matrix, C in 251, and C
in econ. I can't believe I did so poorly in econ, since it was
indisputably my easiest class that semester. I guess I just didn't take
it seriously enough...
Also, there's a lot going on right now at home here in New Jersey that I don't feel like
getting into right now. I think that I'm just going to take a break
from xanga this summer. After all, the whole purpose of this weblog is
to be a place where I can bitch about my anxieties. Without college,
there's a lot less stuff to bitch about, so I won't need it again until
the end of August when school starts again. So, yeah. Later.
