Exams Over o(^w^)o

[fuyuzare]

Mocks are over!! Yay!! Am getting results back. Boo.

Well, I've gotten As in everything so far except one of my English essays. In which I got my lowest mark in the world ever. I got a friggin' C for that Hamlet essay, I was pissed off. But what I was MORE pissed off about was the massive go Mrs Gardner had at me (and that my mum started to have

I remember Ophelia because I think Helena Bonham Carter is hot and I prefer watching the movie version of Shakespeare plays to other movies given the choice. "Rosemary is for remembrance" is from the scene where she's going through the herbs in a wedding bouquet that isn't really there because she has gone stark raving mad. She really got screwed over by Hamlet. And for some reason when I read Hamlet in your post, it registered as Macbeth and was trying to remember if there was a character named Ophelia there too. Don't worry about a C on your paper. And if Gertrude wasn't Hamlet's mom I'm lost as to who she is. You are a truly gifted young woman and even the gifted have off days. You are smarter than just about everyone I know except my friend Wayne. He's into anime and watches fansubs so much he's picked up enough Japanese that he forgets and speaks it to his family without realizing it. He's also a repository of esoteric knowledge and writes fiction. Excepting you like girls and he's 20 years older than you I'd say you

I remember Ophelia because I think Helena Bonham Carter is hot XDDDDD

It's ok, I'm not worried about my C really, it's more the OTT reaction of a few people to it. I got a C in my Stats mock last year and an A in the real thing, so I'm not worried :D

And thanks for the compliment =D Wayne sounds fun.

I think we're going to Pompeii...? Not sure, actually, probably would be good if I knew for sure sometime soon XD I do know we're further south than Rome, which is unfortunate because I'd love to visit Rome (my favourite film is set there ^^). We've been warned that it might be very cold D: I hope there's some sun though...

Josh says to haggle with the street vendors. What they did was to gather up all the stuff they wanted then haggled a price walked away to another vendor that had the same stuff and haggled a price even lower and would go back and forth until they got the best price. He also says it's best to do this in groups. He was in the Naples/Sorrento/Pompeii area back in October. Naples is only 45 min from Rome on the express train.

[fuyuzare]

Yep, definitely haggling. I have my experience of Asia to draw on there :D If I could haggle with vendors in the slums of Cambodia, I think I should be able to get by in Italy. But thanks to Josh for the advice, I'll bear that trick in mind =D

Yay for Mocks being over! *Hug!* ^_^ I really wanna visit Europe...there's so many places in Europe I want to visit! T____T; I was born in Germany (my dad was in the army and was sent there and mom and sister followed) but we left to the U.S. before I turned 3. So I don't remember anything about it...D; But have fun in Italy~! ♥

Woo I remember trying to get my characters to fill out the complete Sphere Grid in FFX, man it takes forever. XD

As for Tales of the Abyss. YAAAAAY! I knew/know you'll love it. XD Also don't be afraid to just kind of...play through Tales of the Abyss skipping sidequests and stuff, because there's actually some things you can't even do/get until your 2nd playthrough anyway. ^^ So it's MEANT to be played more than once! XD

I'm actually on my 3rd playthrough...XD

[fuyuzare]

I know, yay! XD ::hugs back:: And I got an A in everything except that stupid Hamlet essay, so extra yay! :D

I want to visit Spain, and Paris properly - I've been there twice but not really experienced it - and Berlin, and Rome. Basically all the big capitals XD I love cities.

And that's kinda similar to me, actually XD I wasn't born in the US but my parents moved to Houston soon after I was born, and we came back from Texas when I was 3. So we're kinda the same... in reverse. Or something XDD

It does take a very long time D: What I'm having trouble with now is trying to get all of Wakka's stuff from the Blitzball Leagues... Blitzball bores me, so I can never be bothered to do it...

I'm really loving ToA, it's so pretty ^^ And good fun to play. And the voice actor for Jade is Zechs from Gundam Wing XDXD which made me giggle. Which other Tales games are good, do you know? Not that I have any money now, but for the future... :D

[teracia]

Yeah, Blitzball bores me too. DD; I never really bothered to play it either, but my brother played it A LOT (he loves it...o_o) in attempt to get Wakka's Jupiter Sigil. (that was it, wasn't it?) XD;

ToA is pretty. *__* And I love the battle system, it's so fun. X3 Haha Jade's voice = Zechs? XDD Jade is awesome! I love him~ *o* He's one of my top 3 favorites~

Well from the Tales games I've played Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Phantasia (the very first Tales game) are really good too. *_____*; ♥♥ I also hear a lot of people talk about Tales of Destiny and love it, though I haven't played that one yet...T__T;

Do you have a GameCube? If so you can play the English version of Tales of Symphonia, ORRRRRRR you can just play the Japanese Playstation2 version! Since there was a PS2 version released in Japan ONLY. Which I wanna play for the extraness...;____; So maybe you'll wanna play that one? XD

Have fun~!

[fuyuzare]

Geck (-_________-);; BLITZBALL SHOULD DIE. At least the card games in the other FFs were optional and didn't affect the game... I can't be arsed anymore, I think I'm just gonna get on and finish it. Completion of all the tiny side-quests be damned XDD

Jade is looking pretty cool ^^ Although I haven't seen much of him yet. As far as the other Tales games go, I've heard of Symphonia, so I may get that some time in the future... I don't have a GameCube, but I would get it in Japanese anyways XDD Just 'cos I can ;D I'm also considering Kingdom Hearts Final Mix... but DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY DD: Curses.

How very threatening of you. But of course I would be delighted to attend.

Haa. Adults around very smart kids tend to forget that their children are special. *nod* If you've never gotten a C before in ANYTHING, then I think that already is a miracle in itself... lol... And I don't know if anyone can go through their schools with NO grades that they deem bad. So, that was an anomaly in your grade history, and just..so much for that. :) Maybe it will inspire you to find out more about the women in Hamlet, or in Shakeaspeare's work generally? :) *hugs

[fuyuzare]

Haha XDDD that's ok, yay for ramble.

Thanks for the pep talk :D It's ok, I'm over the Hamlet thing now. Really. I'm lying.

No, really. :D

I know, some European men are quite, ah... ::remembers Portugal:: interesting. Yes. Our teacher has told us to stay away from all men, and that if any come near us, she'll castrate them. Which was nice. XDDD

I'll definitely take pictures =D They'll probably be quite frightening. Because my friends are all quite frightening... XD

I'm playing on Expert, but I've almost completed it with Tidus now. But to be honest, I've lost my drive to complete it all. I think I'm gonna upgrade a bit more then just do the end - I'm way past the required level to do the end bit now, and I lose motivation with these things fairly quickly... Plus I have about 2342389 other games sitting begging to be played...
