MGS: Twin Snakes
For some reason, I convinced my little brother to rent MGS: Twin Snakes.

It's basically a remake of the MGS for PSX. It has updated graphics, semi-lame Matrix cut-scenes, new voice acting and a little bit of a new storyline.

For a while, I got stuck because they told me to get Meryl's CODEC thing off of “the package.” Foolish Solid Snake never acts like he doesn't know what's going on so I was left alone to figure out that they meant the package that the damn game came in. Which is quite impossible when you rent the game.

Anyway, I'm now avoiding attempting to avoid these stupid lasers but the view is so bad that I keep getting gassed.

I really suck at MGS games.

I'm going to go try to get past those stupid lasers and get that mine detector so I can go back through the lasers and probably die a few more times.

It's so exciting.

I love you all.

[edit 3:12]
I got past those lasers, grabbed the mine detector, got back through the lasers, got past the mines and killed by a boss.

I don't know about you but the whole boss in a MGS game doesn't quite click with me. It's called "tactical espionage action" and a guy in a tank attacks me.

I don't know about you, but when I'm sneaking around, it’s not very sneaky to be attacking a tank.

I can't throw grenades if my life depended on it. I only die because I get run over by the tank.

Then I fell in some rut in the ground and got stuck before blowing myself up with some C4.

So yeah. I'm going to go try and beat this stupid tank and if I can't beat him by 4:30, I'm going to call someone and see if they can help me.

If anyone knows anything about this stupid tank guy, I'd love it if you'd help me out.

I don't know about you, but I think all the names of the "bad guys" could be improved. Revolver Ocelot, Vulcan Raven, Cyborg Ninja, Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, Hind D and Liquid Snake all sound a little... wussy. They might as well be called Buttercup Rabbit, Flower Buns, Cinnamon Feet, Twinkle Toes, Sugar Honey, Chocolate E and Liquid Caramel. Solid Snake would then be Chewy Caramel. Sadly, I think that's a major improvement.

So anyway, I hate that there are bosses in this stupid game. I thought I'd just be sneaking around and shooting things. I am greatly disappointed.

I guess I'll go try to beat Vulcan Raven Flower Buns now.

I'm not tired since I slept in late today so I'm going to translate a section of Le Petit Prince for you all that I find... sad.



Ah! Little prince, I understood, little by little, your small melancholic life. The only distraction you had, for a long time, was the sunsets. I learned this new detail on the morning of the fourth day when you said:

”I love sunsets. Let’s go watch a sunset…”

”But you need to wait...”

”Wait for what?”

”Wait for the sun to set.”

You seemed very surprised at first and then you laughed at yourself. And you said:

”I always think I’m at home!”

Indeed. When it’s noon in the United States, the sun, everyone knows, is setting in France. It would be enough to be able to go to France in a minute to watch the sun set. Unfortunately, France is too far away. But, on your small planet, it would be enough for you to move your chair a few steps. And you would look at the twilight as many times as you wished.

”One day, I saw the sun set 43 times!”

And a little later you added:

”You know… when one is very sad one loves the sunsets…”

“The day of the 43 times, were you very sad?”

But the little prince didn’t answer.


I love you all.


(P.S. I changed my background to this.)

To everyone concerned about Woohu:
Okay. Andy is seriously contemplating shutting Woohu down. If you've never had an urge to send him money for Woohu, you should now.

I'm willing to send Andy all the money I have (it's maybe 10-12 dollars) to save Woohu.

I suggest that if anyone gives half of a care, send Andy as much money as you can spare.

I wish I could spread this in a better way but since the forums are non-existent, there's no other way to tell a lot of people unless I do it on Woohu.

So here's the thing. I don't know all of the users on this site. If I put this on my journal, the people that have me on their friends list and maybe some random journal-ers are the only ones to see it. If you want to save Woohu, copy this entry (or make your own) and put it in your journal. Then get off your lazy butt and send Andy all the money you can spare.

Get your friends at school to give you a dollar or to, get those who abandoned Woohu because it didn't have something they wanted, get your neighbors, get your family, ask everyone you know for a dollar at least. If we can get enough people to send Andy money, or if you can get more money from others, we can save Woohu.

In the end, it all comes down to one question: How much do you love Woohu? I saw all those comments on Andy's entry going on and on about how much they loved Woohu but none of them wanted to do anything to save it.

If you really love Woohu as much as you go on about it, I'm sure you can spare some money to save it.

Here's all the ways you can donate:
"I can accept several different ways of donations. They are: PayPal, well concealed cash, check, money order.

PayPal: andy@woohu.com
Check/MO: Payable to 'Andrew Gunneson'

They can be mailed to me at:

Woohu.com
PO Box 10
Cedar Springs, MI 49319"


If you love it -- save it.

Flowers are so inconsistent...
I love snow so very very much.



"I ought not to have listened to her," he confided to me one day. "One never ought to listen to the flowers. One should simply look at them and breathe their fragrance. Mine perfumed all my planet. But I did not know how to take pleasure in all her grace. This tale of claws, which disturbed me so much, should only have filled my heart with tenderness and pity."

And he continued his confidences:

"The fact is that I did not know how to understand anything! I ought to have judged by deeds and not by words. She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her . . . I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little strategems. Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know to love her..."

Andy, do you have a list of all the moods that I can reference? I might add a few of my own.

:: Music: Somewhere Out There by Our Lady Peace

I know you're out there...somewhere out there
I slept in till 1 today so I'll be up forever.

Since I'm doomed to stay up until probably 2, you get a stupid pointless entry.

Yay! Stupidity and pointlessness!

I need some music.

I just sneezed and no one bothered to say "bless you". My soul flew out of my body five times and now it's gone forever because no one said "bless you".

How awful.

Someone used the term 'governator' the other day. That means either Katie stole the term from someone or someone stole it from her.

Thieves.

Ben kept asking me what I was on earlier because I just kept blabbing in my usual way. I normally keep it lower when I talk to him but I hadn't done it recently so I needed a vent.

Oh, I have a nice linky. Wow. I first typed that without the i and it looked really weird.

I need a life or something.

Anyway, the link. Have you played Pikmin?

I suppose I should warn you. It's a little... uh... wrong.

On four or five different levels.

I laughed.

I ran out of random things to say but I haven't honored you with a true Rachel entry lately so it'll have to do.

This isn't as long as I would have hoped but at least it's not like some of the angsty teenage crap you have to put up with. I didn't say anything about how so and so was mean to me or how my life sucks because I didn't get to see my boyfriend today or last night I got so drunk I bzoinked five guys then something about drugs probably.

I actually bzoinked not five guys but seven. I also made out with a few girls and smoked something that I don't remember the name of. So don't worry, nothing changed. I just don't feel like complaining about it all.

You know I'm bored when you have to suffer my pathetic attempt at sarcastic humor.

Yes, I made that all up so don't lose any sleep over it.

I think I just bored myself to sleep. I guess that's a sign that I should stop.

Stopping...

I love you all.

I finally made a Shirahime layout. I'll probably change the colors or whatever later but I like simplicity. Anyway, you can look at it if you want. Looks best in 1024 x 768.

Has anyone ever heard a fairy tale like this: "a sheep falls in love with a cloud and climbs up the highest mountain in the world to find the object of his desire, only to discover she's a bunch of water molecules drifting in the wind"

I am intrigued by this short summary but I can't find it anywhere. Has anyone heard of it before?

Oh well. I hope you're all doing okay. I had a weird premonition stomachache earlier so I hope nothing's wrong.

I love you all.

My sister and I are once again having a movie marathon just as we did last week.

My day was quite awfully boring.

Oh, my French movie (Les Parapluies de Cherbourg) came the day before yesterday. I made Hannah watch it.

Yes, that is all. A waste of your time. Poor you. Two minutes of your life you'll never get back. Aw.

^hm...guess what thats about...
yea so guess what song jen and i listened to today...lol....its in my head...

sorry i never updated about theatre fest....or the concert...didnt even talk about joseph......or the act....probably cuz i havent been on....id love to complain...cept it doesnt bother me that much until someone goes...you have to do this by this date...specially if its before march twenty fourth, seeing as i have six projects due by then, two of which are due tmro. woo...two down! this kid is such a moron. im working with him in spanish...first he doesnt let me help, then he cant even spell sun (sol) and for god sakes wont fucking believe me when i tell him the hurricane is one so the verb will be singular...but oh well...i have my prose analysis presentation tmro eighth period. i shall die. i hate presentations...at least in spanish i have a partner....

today jen and i went to mcdonalds and shopping with charlie...hes funny as hell...i love him to death...not like that...but anyone who thinks charlies an ass needs a life cuz i think hes awesome. he can get obnoxious but i think anyone can, and you learn not to take him seriously...

you know it really makes me wonder...i dont care who reads this...but when lisa decided "i think ill throw a fit now to see how many people side with me about something so incredibly stupid that happened three months ago" she said ", i really dont even care about whatever happens with me/jorie. i would have cared a few months ago, but now, im used to not liking her, so it really doesn't make a difference. its just amazing how long it took her." and i wondered...how the fuck can anyone tell that youre mad at them if you walk around, saying hi in the fakest high pitched voice as if youre sad as fuck but acting happy...but noticably? she was quick to point out how she hated when i corrected peoples english, how jill and kyle didnt like my comments on looking younger in the dress for HC and for saying he needs a haircut, and how im "dilusional". She also mentioned how i never listen to anyone and basically dont deserve to have any friends...and then suddenly shes all nice to me as if the "war" either never happened or was solved. the cause of it all was because i wrote her a very nice email, possibly too nice, asking her to please clean up her mess when she comes over, because i dont like doing it, nor do my parents. and so, suddenly she was mad at shaina cuz "shaina sided with jorie instead of me" "she may have gotten shaina". oh lord....honestly...i didnt even care...the girl called me a bitch, so i kindly told her i could read...ooh lets start a one-sided arguement and convince ourselves we're losing...woo...but recently...this is what bothers me.
i dont mind that people are her friends (cuz everyone needs friends)...but i find it slightly pathetic to say "this is a shout out to all yall out there who think you're my friend. just wondering how many of you there are. so leave me a comment, k?" feeling abandoned is okie...asking for support is another...but three entries spent on "guys support me i feel friendless today!"...arrg...because you know shes just searching for pity...and whats worse is that people complain and complain about her...about how she does this...and thne the moment comes when she does it...and "oh im sorry lisa ::hug::"...are we no longer aware of the word hypocritical...?

if any of you disagree thats your perogitive...thats my thoughts, this is my journal...if you have any thoughts...put them...but i dont need to recieve hate mail because i wont respond...and its very pointless.

in other thoughts...im tired as fuck. i want to sleep...two presentations tmro...did i already say that? oh yes...thats right. my back really hurts. auditions are next monday. its wednesday. ::sigh::

i want to audition but not make it. i want to do crew but i want to know if the possibility is there. yea. i finally made callbacks for razzle and one acts so i know that they have started to like me...whether my acting or just cuz they feel bad. i should do all my papers this week and not have anything to worry about for the rest of the month. yea...right...okie i have to go finish my spanish outline so i can start memorizing...sweet dreams

I found this site that is basically articles and rants about everything.

I recommend the article on product placement in video games. There's a funny bit at the end about a Japanese mayo game.

Okay, so I'm a little weird when it comes to mayonnaise but trust me, it's hilarious.

Anyway, my day = boring so I'm sure you don't want to hear about it.

All the snow is disappearing. It's sad. I love snow so much.

Winter is leaving. It can't. This is Michigan. Winter never leaves this quickly.

It'll be spring soon maybe. With the mud, rain and thunderstorms, spring is my second favorite season.

I love puddles.

I'm like a little kid. I still hop in puddles and splash people that walk by. I still jump in the mud and get the bottom of my pants all dirty.

I hope I never become like the grownups. Like the grandes personnes. I know too many people who are.

I still love you. Only slightly, only slightly, less than I used to, my love.

I have had "I Know It's Over" by The Smiths stuck in my head for forever.

I feel like some popcorn. It's too late though.

Hannah says they took the good parts out of the book. Because I really care about the love plots.

Home is behind

And there are many paths to tread

To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight

Pretty Girls Make Graves
Upon the sand, upon the bay
"There is a quick and easy way" you say
Before you illustrate
I'd rather state :
"I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am"

And Sorrow's native son
He will not smile for anyone

And Pretty Girls Make Graves
Oh ...

End of the pier, end of the bay
You tug my arm, and say : "Give in to lust,
Give up to lust, oh heaven knows we'll
Soon be dust ... "

Oh, I'm not the man you think I am
I'm not the man you think I am

And Sorrow's native son
He will not rise for anyone

And Pretty Girls Make Graves
Oh really ?
Oh ...

I could have been wild and I could have
Been free
But Nature played this trick on me

She wants it Now
And she will not wait
But she's too rough
And I'm too delicate

Then, on the sand
Another man, he takes her hand
A smile lights up her stupid face
(and well, it would)

I lost my faith in Womanhood
I lost my faith in Womanhood
I lost my faith ...
Oh ...

Anyone who has ever talked to me about books or my favorite book(s) knows I love His Dark Materials, a trilogy by Philip Pullman.

And you know things like this, especially when it's about my favorite series, really upset me.
