  Survival

  I was going to write this before now, but I decided to wait untill I had done all of my inductions days at college first. Well, heh heh, I've obviously survived my first few days ^^; They were mostly people talking to us about what we're going to do, about the college etc. But I did manage to talk to a few people despite my insecurities. Although I was pretty upset by the time my second day had ended because one of the friends I had made went off and left me on my own. Still, after that one setback I went in the next day and I was able to talk to other people who were really nice to me. So I'm all okay. Thank you so much for your support, I really appreciate it.

  So, what else is new? Well, I finallygot my money on Monday so I went on a bit of a spending spree! I brought 5 manga's which were xxxHolic vols 11 and 12, Fullmetal Alchemist vol 7, .Hack//G.U+ vol 1 and Suikoden III vol 1! I also brought Suikoden IV which you may have noticed since it's on my "Now playing" list. I'm I'm extra happy about that since I've not brought anything in a long time!!

  I've also started watch a new anime. Code Geass to be exact. I've heard alot of good things about it (it also has the CLAMP factor in there!) so I decided to give it a try! So far it's really good, I really like Lelouch and the giant robots XD It's my first time watching a mecha anime >_> Still, certain character relationships heavily remind me of Bleach and another part of it reminds me on D.N.Angel XD Strange.

  I have made a new banner for myself as well. I hope you like it, because it certainly is one of my favorites so far. As you can probably tell, it is Syaoran from Tsubasa Although it is from a part of the manga that I haven't gotten to yet (although I have a pretty good guess at what has happened from the picture alone) so if you know what it is about... don't tell me!!! I don't want to know! Anyway, I made it completely without any brushes, a first for me. I hope I managed to convey the amount of shear emotion in the picture because it was my aim to do so. The image was coloured by this wonderful person over at Deviantart, so do go and visit her page! http://soralover3303.deviantart.com/

  

  Thanks again. Untill next time, have a good day!

  Completed Tactics, future worries

  I finally completed Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions on Wednesday and I must say it's a fantastc game deserving of the praise it gets. I really enjoyed the story and Ramza has become one of my favorite characters. Some battles were hard (The Weigraf one was most definately the hardest in the game) but with a little leveling or change of tactics I came through in the end And as I said before, the cut scenes were beautiful! Here's what I thought of the ending...
  ***SPOILER***

  Did Ramza and Alma really survive or were they just an illusion? I like to think they survived >_> I'm actually glad Delita got stabbed in the end (there was certainly alot of stabbing going on in that game!!!) because he was hailed as a hero for doing what? Befriending and stabbing the right people at the right time? Pfft, Ramza is the hero!! He saved the world without ever asking anything in return. Stupid Delita!! Haha

  
  

  I'm not sure where it'll fit in into my personal rankings... I will have to think about it some more. It'll probably go in around maybe... 5th or 6th place. So now untill I either get my college money or decide what to play next I'm playing Shadow of the Colossus again It's always a nice short game to randomly play XD

  Annnnd I start my course soon >_> Next Friday I have to go in and enroll and then I have to go in the next week for a couple of induction days. I then properly start on the 30th. I'm scared!! Whats a good way to start a conversion with someone new? T_T

  Final Fantasy Tactics and joining the dark side

  After much thought and persuasion I finally broke down and started to play Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. It's actually my brothers copy, he only played it about twice before never touching it again (He was too "busy" apparently) and it's been sat there looking at me ever since And I have to say that I'm LOVING it. I wish I'd picked it up before now, it's such a wonderful game. I love the characters and I especially love the cutscenes which are so beautifully animated. I've gotten to grips with the battle system fine despite not being a great lover to tactical RPGs and I've only had a few battles which have given me problems ^^ I also now have my Dragoon job class which makes me even happier XD I'm currently at the start of chapter 3!

  No, I'm not talking about the new Star Wars game that's coming out I'm talking about... Cosplay. Yes, I'm going to do a cosplay With my friend who refered to me joining her in doing it as "Joining the dark side" I'm going to a manga night at my local Waterstones (A book store here in the UK). I asked my friend to go with me (she's going as Zidane) and I wasn't so sure at first about cosplaying but I talked to my mum and she said "Why not, it'll be fun" so I'm going to do it! ^^

  Who am I going as? That's a bit of a sily question isn't it? I'll be going as Syaoran from Tsubasa Chronicle. More specifically (and don't look at the spoiler tag unless you've read volume 16 of the manga or seen Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations! That means you Pikastar!!!)
  ***SPOILER***

  Real Syaoran

  
  Here is a picture I found for you which isn't spoilerish
