folk school gossip
So there's a woman here that I really dislike. We'll call her "M." M is the business manager, and she does a lot of things that make me disgusted and mad. From switching the school to a new bank because there was a lot of money offered (and putting their ad in the catalog--the first time there's EVER been an ad in there) to being rude to locals ( Read more... ) -
Still kicking
Oooh, I've been bad. So much for updating really frequently-- it's been almost a month now. It seems like I don't have anything interesting to tell y'all, which I'm sure it only true from this end ( Read more... ) -
Let the rain fall
I love the rain. Whether it's a thunderstorm or a day-long drizzle, I love it! There's as thunderstorm in the distance, and it's been drizzling on and off. I'm curled up on my bed, my room lit only by two small table lamps; nice and cozy. There's another 45 minutes before I have to set up for dinner. There are weekend classes going on right ( Read more... ) -
report from the folk school

Final Fantasy XII
Notes on FF XII:
1. Balthier is cool. Sky-pirates are cool. If Balthier was a girl, I would totally marry her. Hot!
2. The new battle system isn't all that bad. It is easier to avoid monsters if you know they're there.
3. Still, I wish I could breed chocobos! Having the main side-game be fighting is lame.4. Are we ever going to finish ( Read more... ) -
on death
I'm terrified of dying. Not even so much the acutal dying part, but of what comes after. Of not-existing. I've always been scared of this, for as long as I can remember at least, and I think I'll always be scared of it. If I let myself think about it I start to panic. Really panic. And so I generally try not to think about it ( Read more... )
