Zycie w Blekicie ver 4.0 - Blue Girl in Snow

Thursday, April 24, 2003

Well, this weekend's going to be pretty busy. Tomorrow morning I have English class from eight until half past nine. After that, I'm going to the university pool to practice my crawl - the teacher insists I should enter the competition on Sports day. (My time is something around 46 seconds, I'm not sure if it's that good.)

After that, I need to get my hair done and buy a present for my cousin who's just turning four. Then it's off to the movies to see Spirited Away - Polish dub, unfortunately, but I'll have to live with it. Back home, I'll have a most likely late lunch around four or five, and then I'll probably need a little nap before connecting to Scott's NWN server and playing another mod or two with my new friends.

Neverwinter Nights has been *much* more fun in multiplayer so far. Scott actually tells me he didn't do a very good job choosing the mods... But at least they didn't involve running around the same locations twenty times or so, and getting killed by the same monsters over and over.

I finally killed the stupid spider in the crypts (using one ressurection in the process), only to fall to the Yuan-Ti (or whatever) I was supposed to be capturing sometime later. I tried to follow a different story thread (Blacklake) only to get killed by a sorcerer's apprentice using some kind of area effect ice spell. This is no fun. And the background music really gets on my nerves after a while.

Anyways, back in my plans for the weekend, Dad's coming here on Saturday. There's also some kind of parade in town, and most of the roads will be closed, so I'll have to take a tram down to the station and call for a taxi to pick us up. Then, of course, there's my cousin's birthday party. All of this means that I probably won't make it to my Anime club, which is a damn shame since I really need to talk to Miz.

We'll see what we can do on Sunday. Meagen out.

Sweet Largo-sama, it has happened. The RPs on the Megatokyo forums have inspired Fred. If this miniseries contains a young girl who patches up people's wounds while praising Largo, I'm going to very seriously freak out.

Great. Now Egon's gone all religious on me. Bad religion. *Bad* religion! Go sit in the corner.

Here's a coloring of Yuki I did recently. Draegos sent me a few linearts he did from MT strips, and I'm coloring them now when I have some spare time.

I may play around a bit more with the next one. This one is pretty much my standart PSP work - mostly done in airbrush. I'm quite proud of the highlight effect on the hair, and I think I'll make this eye style my default one for CG.

Ah, how I love the Polish spring weather. Two days ago was a snowstorm (yes, a real actual blizzard, winds and snow and everything gone completely white and all), this morning was bright, sunny and warm, with the snow melting away like... well, like snow melts away when it gets warm. And the afternoon is dull and grayish, although still warm.

My mood swings around these days even worse than the weather. I can be insanely happy one instant, nervously agitated the next, and then go completely numb. I thought I was over the whole "being a teenager" thing, but apparently not.

It may be because I'm in love. I'm not entirely sure if I am, and if so, I have no idea who with. Is it the nice guy I like to run into, the last crush I'm still not quite over, the one whose mind reaches out to mine, or my own little fantasy? I honestly can't say. Ah, my poor little confused heart.

Maybe I'm just sleep deprived. For the past two weeks or so, I wake up at about five to six in the morning, jolted out of my pleasant dreamland by the urge to fire up AIM, check my inbox and visit some forums.

And lately I keep finding all three completely empty.

This is the point at which my imagination fires up and delivers various scenarios, each one less probable than the last, which send me into the aforementionned mood swings, from which I only come down at about four or five in the afternoon, when my daily energy drop kicks in. This leads to the aforementionned numbness and angsty blog entries.

I'm not even sure if what I'm writing here makes any sense. I can barely focus, and have taken to napping in the afternoons and even during morning lectures. This is not doing wonders for my rate of work.

Work. Maybe if I try to get something done, the world will start making sense again. Can't hurt to try.

But I'm so tired.

W00t! I got into a Digest on the Internet Oracle with my first post! I thought it was a bit too long, but apparently it was funny enough. I'm gonna send in another question today, or maybe just do an askme.

If anyone needs me, I'll be busy incarnating.

I take back what I said about NWN being cool. I just got killed for about the fifth or sixth time by the same bloody giant spider. I really have no idea how to beat it: It's too fast to shoot it from a distance, and in close combat it keeps knocking out and poisoning both me and my half-orc shield. I've tried hanging back and just healing my companion, but it always kills him first. I've tried buying some better equipment, more healing potions, and even changing to another companion, but it's all no use.

Gah. At least Nethack can find a new and creative way to kill you every time, and lets you learn from your mistakes. I swear, this thing is just too bloody stupid.

* Reading fanfic from Draegos.
* Patching up NeverWinter Nights.
* Playing NWN.
* Updating the UFL Ayanami database.
* Re-reading old conversations.

What else to do while waiting for someone to show up... Maybe I should look into this new-fangled "studying" thing.

Ev'ry night and ev'ry morn'
Some to misery are born
Ev'ry morn' and ev'ry night
Some are born to Sweet Delight
Some are born to Sweet Delight
Some are born to Endless Night.

Others are born to Neverwinter Nights, which is the game I just got today. This is the second time I got a game without playing the demo, based on hype alone... But I don't think this is going to be the same disaster as Arcanum. Sure, the Polish version is kinda annoying, but at least the game itself is cool. Although I managed to get myself killed once pretty early on... but I think I know what I did wrong.
