Holidays over, back to work, back to work~

Crap, it's almost 4 AM. 8| That one project took way too long, even with changing the editing scope. It's a good thing that my sleeping schedule sucks! :)

Welcome to [livejournal.com profile] herrjustice, [livejournal.com profile] terra, [livejournal.com profile] whiteadelphi, [livejournal.com profile] manlidere, [livejournal.com profile] dynast_harmonia, [livejournal.com profile] ladynadiad, and [livejournal.com profile] marbles_chan from the Luceti friending meme! As you can see, my LJ is very open, so ... there's little benefit in being on my flist! But I appreciate you being here all the same.

Quick intro: I'm Athena, and I'm not my characters. I say this because I have this feeling that I'm somehow intimidating, and that may be because of my characters. I mostly talk about life, RP, video game fandom, and fanfiction.

I've been horrible with my RPing lately, and I totally blame the holidays. There have also been a ton of family events (birthdays, baptism, etc.) keeping me busy, so I haven't been feeling up to RP when I do get time to sit in front of the computer. And then there's work, which I already addressed in the first paragraph of this entry. I need to reply to my logs for Damned most of all, since those have been delayed since before Christmas. Then I need to get Minato positioned so he can pick up his Evoker from Abe before running into Souji.

... ...In other news, I've finished Dragon Quest IV! I've attempted to finish the game on the original NES and at least three times as an NES ROM, but I just kept running into issues -- losing the cartridge, hard drive failure, blah blah blah... It's always been the one Dragon Warrior/Quest game I felt compelled to finish; I think the chapters really made the difference for me. And Torneko Taloon's awesome. I need to finish the extra chapter, and then I can put the game to rest.

I'm in the process of waiting for more doujinshi. EMS shipping is always crazy, but I'm hoping to get everything by ... Tuesday. Yes, that would be nice. Four Suikoden III doujinshi and two Legendia anthologies.

Back to work. Let's see how much I can do before I need sleep.

It's supposed to be the other way around, dammit!

...I should probably work on being more convincing. Or having better excuses. Either way.

Someone has to make the reversal!

Or you could admit you're not productive~ Cute icon, btw.

[identity profile] herrjustice.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
This has never happened before. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Admit it? Admitting it is never an option! Thanks! Unsurprisingly, it gets a lot of use. |D

Well, you could always walk away (http://pics.livejournal.com/daathic/pic/0000hwye). :|;

But this is why you're in this difficult position! Oooh, Nimni. I think that's the name. >_>

[identity profile] herrjustice.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Well, I guess I could. You have an image for it and everything! ;_;

But admitting it certainly wouldn't solve my problem! I'd still be unproductive either wa-- darn. D: I think so! Is it bad that I'm playing the game right now and couldn't tell you for sure? Hmm.

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
I've got a lot of images. Typical (http://pics.livejournal.com/bright_noble/pic/00007q4h) to not-so-typical (http://pics.livejournal.com/daathic/pic/0000g2xb). :|b

Awww, I love the belated realization. 8) I'm kinda sad that I really don't remember any of the minor characters' names in Tierkreis. You'd think it'd be fairly simple with the amount of ... personality the characters had.

[identity profile] herrjustice.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Aww. You really do have an image for every occasion! |D

I sure don't. :| That may be the same reason you don't remember them! But I'm only halfway through the game and haven't even tried most of the characters yet, so. I still have an excuse! Kind of!

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
Not every occasion. But I try to diversify! This (http://pics.livejournal.com/daathic/pic/0001qh2w) is what my cat is currently doing to me. :|

Late night procrastination~ That's true. :|; The names weren't exactly normal, though. That could be part of it.

Maybe you just really know how to use them? Though, that... does not look like much fun. :|;;

Well, you can't procrastinate during the day if you're sleeping through it. :( Oh yeah, so many strange names! And way too many similar ones. Or maybe they just seem similar to me 'cause they're strange. |D

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. XD ...She's a very furry cat. :|;

Ohhh, that's right. So it's only terrible sleeping schedule. I empathize. >_> Yeah, I think it's the strange names that really throw me off. Most of the names from the main series are pretty normal. Though I would get mixed up with Kwanda Rosman and the Kwaba province. ...Maybe I mixed that up right now.

[identity profile] herrjustice.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
And she has just made you a furry person. :O

Yes~ You never have to have a good reason for a terrible sleeping schedule, after all! ...oh, good, I wasn't the only one who did that! \o/ Then again, I remember mixing up all the places when I first played the game, so. :|;

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
And my poor blanket has been made furrier. Sigh.

There's always things keeping a person up at night! I mean, the only reason you're up at night is either you need more hours to the day or your night is other people's day. ...If that made sense. :|; I couldn't figure out the area controlled by Milich Oppenheimer. French names confound me.
