Oh, shit. Man, being back here feels like... like when you're in class, everything goes quiet, and you look up to see if you're in trouble.

That happens a lot. Or maybe it's just me?

Well, anyway, you can ignore the title - but it caught your eye didn't it? Or was it the fact I'm writing one of these after, like, months? (Which reminds me, it's been like four months since I've blogged on GameSpot. Should really get around to that.) Yeah, actually, the title has to do with Maximum Ride. Didn't really have any ideas. Rawr.

I suppose I should have prepared an excuse for not even giving this website a thought since... well, my last journal entry, really. About that time. I've been busy with school, work, gaming, hanging with some friends. But to be honest I haven't been *here* because my home computer got a virus a while back - we think DeviantArt caused it and thus I have been banished.

Yet I'm here. Yeah. It's a long story but basically my laptop - which I'm now using - is immune to viruses. Fuck yeah, that's Feather, always reliable.

Yes. I named my laptop Feather. Not sure why.

Let's see. What's new with me? Not much. Beat inFamous 1 and 2, playing Festival of Blood now. I got the Hero endings for both, and I want to beat the Prince of Persia Trilogy HD before replaying them and earning my Evil endings. Also beat Dragon Age II, which I had put aside when the ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection came out (which I also finished). Romanced Fenris I think, and sided with the Templars. Ya know when Anders blew up the freaking Chantry? Yeah, I killed the bastard with no second thoughts - seeing Hawke stab him in the back was pretty satisfying honestly. He's such a dork.

Anyway! On much more exciting game-related news, Assassin's Creed III has been officially announced. According to the many AC-related shit I follow, the new assassin has this long, unpronoucable name, but calls himself Connor. The game shall be placed in the 1770s (1777 to be exact, according to the trailer), and I'm looking forward to seeing how this new setting will play out. I seriously, SERIOSULY flipped when I saw the leaked images several days ago. I won't fangirl here though, you don't need that, I'm guessing.

I also did a bunch of important life stuff that no one really wants to hear about, so I won't bore you with any details. Uhm... I did start reading Maximum Ride though (if you couldn't already tell, I'm on Saving The World and Other Extreme Sports, the third Fugitives book). Started...maybe just over a week ago? Loving it so far. I'm expecting a comment from Ams saying, like, "I told you so!" or something. Yes, you did indeed tell me so.

Also, Max, the main character? She's the best.

I haven't stopped writing. I've been doing short stories and I did requests my IRL friends had for like mini fanfics - I did one for Alistair from Dragon Age and Guy from Tales of the Abyss. They're all sort of love stories and I hated writing them, but I did as requested. My cousin posted them on her account on some other site and in a perfect world, none of you will read them.

I don't know when I'll update Project Colossus. One weekend I did write a bit of the next chapter but it's little more than one paragraph. I have made VGNs everywhere sad.

And if you like my drawing for some insane reason, I have bad news. I've sort of... given it up. I used to draw because it was fun, and I drew for my friends because - as rarely as I admit this - I like them. It made people happy when I uploaded something with their name on it, even if it was terrible. Now it's just that... I don't find it fun anymore. So if anyone was really looking forward to a birthday cat or something I'm sorry.

Though not all hope is lost. I still draw on my arms for some reason - little doodles like the Assassin's Creed symbol and the Triforce. So maybe one day I'll get back to drawing for real, on paper and stuff. Yeah, maybe.

Yep. So that's really it, and do excuse any typos. I know it's not much and that probably no one will read this, but I felt the need to write a new journal just to replace the old one about potatoes. So I've filled this with whatever the hell came into my head. And that's it.

So yeah. Peace. And leave a comment telling me what the hell is up with you. ~V
