Replayed KH2 (or not; the first time doesn't actually count since it was in Japanese on easy mode just for the thrill of double-keyblade-wielding-awesome and we understood noooooooooothing). I'm beginning to see where the Leon/Aerith pairing is coming from. :O Hmmmmmmmm. They're like both surrogates for the other half of their respective pairings, or something like that.

I know I had a major bitching session over the English FF voice-acting in KH2 back when it first came out. I still remember crucifying Suvari's Aerith and whoever did Leon's voice. But 5 years after and away from the crazy fandomness, those voices actually don't sound so bad anymore. They're actually kinda decent. Seifer's voice was PERFECTLY bratty. The Cleris scene is still all amounts of squishy cuteness, whether in Japanese or English. The expected implosion from extreme cringing did not happen. It's amazing what perspective does to an opinion.

SavedbyassgrabbingHerc!KH1 Cloud is still >>>>> emotoocoolforschool!KH2 Cloud, though. Hey, I tried, but I still don't like the AC costumes in KH2. They make Hollow Bastion look like a freaking funeral parlor. This was a chance to have fun with the FF designs and we get recycled clothes! On the other hand, the way Hollow Bastion was included in the storyline was wicked awesome, and I do so love Sora's interactions with the HB crew.

Sora! is so much fun to play! Even more so in English!

Anyway, just two more exams, and I plan to end four years of uni life playing KH2 in the hostel lounge. x3

Hey guys. It's nice to be alive!

Why? Here's a PSA, just for you.

Do not approach a fan turning at top speed (3, fyi) with a hanging bath towel. There's a good chance fate will decide to play a freakish joke, slide the (rather thick) towel right through (rather thinly-placed) bars, snap the blade in half and send it flying through the fan and into your stocking.



My stocking's a little traumatised, but it should live for another career talk.



Seriously, people.

I'm not in Final Destination 3.5, am I? !@$#!

[edit: Random is random, but damn if this hasn't been annoying me all week.]

You accuse men of assuming all women are weak, fragile, brainless, etc. Then you claim "men just don't get it", and have no way of backing yourself up on that when challenged on your broad-brushed stereotype.

You complain about discrimination but what is your personal experience with it? Are you forced to stay at home because of your gender? Does The Man control your spending? (Considering the number of women toting Prada bags instead of golf clubs around Orchard Road, I'm guessing not.) Your dress? Your thoughts? 

Nope, but you're "discriminated" against because a guy pulls a chair out for you and from that one little action, you know that he secretly (or, even worse, subsconsciously) thinks you're a weak princess who can't do anything herself? You're "discriminated" against because a bunch of guys might get together and make sexist jokes? (In that case, I'm an admitted self-sexist since I joke about both genders.) You're on auto-discriminated mode because "the system" is "patriarchal"?

I just don't get this brand of feminism.

P.S. Guys, stand up for yourselves! Geez. "Equality of the sexes" also means you don't let a girl mouth off in a class totally unrelated to her pet peeves! ...Fine, I'll assume most of you were as lazy as I was to get involved in a red-meat shouting match that had nothing to do with our class topic.

NEIL GAIMAN IS COMING TO SINGAPORE.

...OMFGYES.

I've heard that the lecturer of the management mod is very good and fun, but nobody told me he was also SO FRICKING CUTE.

I mean bordering on staring-at-him-gooey-eyed-as-he-lectures-in-front-and-totally-missing-what-he-says hotness (thankfully, he seems at least subliminally aware of the dreamy stares he's getting because his powerpoints are packed with notes).

When he announced that he had some good news to share? One girl muttered, "That you're single?" (It was not me.) That sort of hotness.

When he continued that the "good news" was that he was getting engaged, and you could feel the whole female population in that lecture hall deflating at once? That sort.

He's "turned on creatively" by imaginative metaphors and loves eerie silences. He loves words and weird factoids (I shall always remember why railway tracks in America are 4' 8" wide). (I think I now know the real reason the bid points for this mod were so high... it almost bankrupted me, but damn if they weren't well-spent.)

What gives, network of female friends?! I thought we looked out for one another -- by looking out for hot, adorable guys! Did the memo not get through? *ultimate flailing*
