Paper's boring :P

I got tired of writing notes on paper over and over again, and developing calluses from holding a pen, so...yeah...

The marker wipes off completely, so no harm done = no room fees. Writing with a big fat marker is funner ^___^ (And no, it is NOT because of the fumes! >_<)

When fandoms collide

Colbert fighting off Rowling, while Asian fans go nuts at the polls

I love what the fanbases are saying about each other, too:

From MuggleNet, a HP fansite

"You have to understand that Stephen Colbert's fans are OBSESSIVE!!! In an unhealthy way. They're also geeks who know how to write voting programs to cheat and "tip the scaled" more than we can. Sucks, but hey.... With that said, I love Stephen, but I love J.K. Rowling WAY"

Retort from ColbertNation.com

"I believe he/she meant "scales." And regarding the alleged "unhealthy" obsession with Mr. Colbert... well, it's a bit hypocritcal, isn't it?"

"Haha, I also love the implication that people who enjoy Harry Potter aren't geeks at all."

Ah, seeing people as obsessive as I am makes me warm and fuzzy inside. We're all freaks! ^__^

I swear, this is just some experiment Time is doing to see how obsessive people can get. They should know by now that online voting leads to chaos :P

With that said, I'm still supporting Colbert. HE DEMANDS IT O_O

EDIT: Aahaha, I think the Harry Potter fans are actually voting manually instead of using macros :P

EDIT 2: Lol, wonder how that happened *whistles innocently*


I swear, most of those votes aren't mine... >_>

<3 Arsenal

Arsenal 3-1 Manchester City
Not bad :D And Fabregas scored again! Hope he keeps it up now that he's finally started :P As always, pictures:


Teams training before the game (Arsenal on far end of field)


In front of Arsenal's goal (you can tell the sun set between this and the first pic :P)


Pretty crappy picture of Fabregas and Rosicky (who both scored ^__^) taking a corner near where I was sitting


The final score, WOOT!
Well, that's the last game I get to watch T_____T For a few years, at least...

I'll be back, though! I swear I'll come back to London and watch them play again! RAAAAAAAA!!!

(probably gonna go back to the stadium one more time before I leave to buy more merchandise too <_<)

What a beauuuutiful day...

Arsenal 2-1 Bolton
And I was there to watch it :D


The Kickoff


Gunnersaurus shooting presents into the crowd at half-time (Note: It was 73 degrees today, I feel sorry for whoever was in that suit O_O)


So nice and sunny :D
Campo got sent off today too...such a nice day XD

Side note: I also learnt that drinking a 0.5 L cup of Coke at the start of the game and trying to hold it for 45 minutes is not a good idea >_<

Mini Continuation Rant

Okay, at first I just thought that Roxas looking like Ven (I'm calling him that cause it's easier to type) might be a coincidence. Cause Squeenix DOES make a lot of blonde, spiky-haired characters. But, yeah:

Exactly the same hairstyle, eyes, nose, etc. That's definately Roxas. Or is Roxas definately Ven?

In my bout of insomnia last night, I remembered some dialogue from KHII that might explain why Roxas looks the way he does :P

From the scene where Naminé and Roxas talk to each other near the end of the game:

Roxas: You said we'd meet again, but when we did, we might not recognize each other.
Naminé: I did, didn't I?
Roxas: But I knew you.
Naminé: Mmm...it's strange.
Roxas: I think I understand. I see myself the way you remember me. And you see yourself the way I remember you.

So Roxas' appearance comes from how Naminé remembers him! And for some reason, Naminé remembers him as Ven.

Now, the only connection between Naminé and Ven so far is that they were both in Castle Oblivion, Naminé during KH: Chain of Memories and Ven (or what's left of him) being stored in the "Room of Awakening".

That's all I got so far =/

And yeah, I'm crazy.

Poor Roxas, though...His entire being basically belongs to Sora and now not even his appearance is really his :P

EDIT: Another idea - Roxas looks like Ven cause Ven's related to Sora somehow. So Sora's Nobody just took the appearance of someone like Sora and having the same blood as him, but not actually him :P

Damn, Oda... O_O

Just...damn... O_O

Warning: Huge Rant Ahead

Okok, so after the Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Secret Ending came out, someone came up with this theory on Xehanort/the next KH game (which will NOT be called KH3, apparently).

I would like to add to that theory.

*inhales deeply*

So the basic theory is this:

Now let me make some points :P

1) Fighting the Knight Guy
I believe people are calling him the Enigmatic Soldier (ES). So anyways, Sora can actually fight ES in Final Mix. I think it's a memory of the ES or something, not the actual present-day one. Before the fight, the ES has some interesting things to say:

"Aqua... Ven... Keyblade... who are you? ..."

"...All I have is my hatred towards Xehanort..."

Ok, first of all, some people have speculated that Aqua and Ven refer to these two from the secret ending:

Interesting note: There may be some similarity between these 3 soldiers/knights and Sora, Riku and Kairi...er, other than the fact that they're 3 people - 2 guys, 1 girl - that have Keyblades.

Aqua's name is obviously related to water. Well, so is Kairi's (Kai = sea). Now, Riku's name comes from the Japanese word for land, and Sora comes from sky. So maybe Ven is somehow air/earth related? It sounds like it could be air related - vent, ventilation and all :P So this may be a hint that these two groups of three people may be related in some way or another. Or there could be parallels between them.

Next point: ES says that all he has is hatred towards Xehanort. This makes sense with the big theory above, cause the ES was fighting the bald dude (= Xehanort in theory) in the secret ending. Also, the ES would be pretty pissed at Xehanort for possessing his body... :P


2) Xemnas' past

We learn a little about Xemnas from this extra scene in Final Mix (part 2). Important points:

Note how Xigbar mentions Xemnas' past,

People with Keyblades started to appear and fought great battles. When they were gone, a man who had lost his memories appeared. Xemnas... no... Xehanort was taken in by Ansem around that time, was he not?

This supports the theory, as the ES could have been possessed by the original Xehanort, losing his memories and eventually becoming Xehanort himself.

But new Xehanort remembers something about his past as the ES...

In the video, the suit of armor lying on the floor belonged to Aqua. Xemnas addresses it as "friend," supporting the theory that he was the ES and still remembers being the ES.

Next, the room he's in, according to Vexen and Zexion, is the "Room of Sleep." Xigbar elaborates,

The "Room of Sleep"... the underground laboratory where we were studying the darkness within people's hearts, the place which Ansem ordered us to seal-away... The first thing Xemnas did when he got rid of our wise yet bothersome leader was to release the seal and make that room in the depths of the laboratory. After that he frequently went down there and I could hear him talking with someone. Isn't that odd? Xemnas is supposed to be in there alone.

Well, the new secret ending video begins with these words:
Room of Sleep connected to Birth by Sleep somehow? Maybe Xemnas is using the Room of Sleep as a rebirthing place (that sounds wrong O_o) to bring back Aqua.

Furthermore, he might be trying to bring back Ven too. Xigbar mentions a similar room in Castle Oblivion (featured as an Org13 base in Chain of Memories),

With the "Room of Sleep" comes the "Room of Awakening", the other place. That is what he is seeking; that room, which was not made by Xemnas. Perhaps that is where the other... "friend" is."

If the other friend's not Ven, I'd be very surprised :P So, maybe the next KH game will mention Xemnas (aka ES possessed by original Xehanort) trying to bring his friends back to life.

(Alternate theory: Xemnas is trying to use those rooms to "reawaken" his former self and his friends are helping. Again, "Birth by Sleep" makes sense cause he's being reborn in the "Room of Sleep.")

Side note: HOLY CRAP LOOKIT HOW MUCH I'VE WRITTEN. So sad... T___T


3) The Ansem Report
Okay, in the Ansem Report #1 that was mentioned in the original theory picture, Ansem notes how,

"It seems that another of my disciples, Even, also has a strong interest in Xehanort's memories."

Huh, Even (Vexen) really wants to know more about Xehanort...maybe it's cause he thinks that Xehanort has knowledge that will give Vexen new powers. ICE POWERS, PERHAPS?!


Again showing that ES was possessed by original Xehanort. New Xehanort retained old Xehanort's powers and somehow gave them to Vexen :P Also, old Xehanort could control Earth too (seen in secret ending), so that explains Lexaeus' power too.


4) *drops dead from over-analysis*
Final note, WTH IS WITH THE POINTY EARS???!!!


*brain explodes*

Some members of Org13 have pointy ears too (e.g. Xigbar, Saix). 'Tis the true mystery of Kingdom Hearts O_O

...

I also can't figure out why old Xehanort and the ES both use Keyblades but Xehanort's Heartless and Xemnas don't =/ Oh well...

Omg new uber character models for EQ!

From the official site:

We are pleased to announce that we have developed new technology that allows us to change the character models for all races at the same time. This includes the following:

New Graphics Engine: We completely overhauled the EverQuest graphics engine... yes again. All character models have been retextured using this new technology and the results are beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

Dynamic effects for animations: Each movement of the model now acts as a separate entity, allowing more life-like animations.

Enhanced weapon visage: While we didn't change the look of the weapons, they sure look better on the new character models.

They look so cool O_O

Apparently these models are actually in the game right now :P Heh, <3 April 1st...
