Harry Potter @ MindSay 
The nerd in me screams: YAY POTTER!
While the sound could have been better it's really funny. This is just part one but you can watch the rest on YouTube.

Summer Accomplishments:
- Completed Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of Azkaban - 100% completion (GC)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two of my games came today. I'm now only waiting for two more - three if you count the one that Shelly ordered for me today. :)
Today dawned the arrival of Herdy Gerdy and Alter Echo - the 98p bargain find. :)
And this amused me. Alter Echo was sent in a plain brown envelope with handwriting on it, not a typed sticker like all the others had done. It had three 1st class stamps on it.
Three 1st class stamps equal about 99p.
And seeing as how the delivery was free for me - I bought the game for 98p, and it's cost them more to send it than it has for me to buy it. :D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shelly came today at about half 3.
I got her to inspect my discs. Seeing as how they're mainly preowned, she used her keen PS2-disc-eye to tell me if they were playable. None of them are even badly scratched. One or two have a few surface marks, but that's all.
Orphen looks practically brand-new.
Some of the cases were slightly discoloured - probably because the owners had smoked, so I wiped them down with a wet sock. :)
(It was the closest thing to me at the time.)
Then I proceeded to pin Shelly to the bed and smear it all over her face. :)
It was rather amusing.
Then I gave Shelly £10 and she used her card to order Jackass: The Game from Play.com for me.
It looks quite similar to Bully. The way everything's rendered. Perhaps it'll play the same, mission-based and the like.
We ate hotdogs and mini-milks and played Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits.
Shelly played bass, I played lead. She'd even bought me a bag of Milky Way Magic Stars - so we ate these together too. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After she'd gone home, I finished off Harry Potter 3.
Of the three games I own, it's the first one I've gotten the full 100%.
There's no dodgy minecart or gnome-throwing mini-games rendering me with a few cards missing from the book...
Oh, and there's no Quidditch either. Rock the fuck on - Quidditch did my bloody head in. :)

[Blog #235] --- Neutral --- [Monday] - Made a start...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I made a start on that "54 in 24" challenge today.
Naturally, I'm trying to see how many old unfinished games I can complete before I get my PS2 on my birthday - naturally being 24 days from now. :P
I was toying with several games before I decided I'd play Harry Potter 3.
I thought about it, before realising that I've had this game since I was about 15, and not ever once sat down properly to play it.
I do recall playing the first 10 minutes onceover, but I'm unsure of what made me stop.
Either way, it's just as good as the prequel. Really smooth, tons of collectables, nice voice acting.
Indeed, I like the Harry Potter GAMES.
I hate the films, hate the books, despise the whole franchise - but I think I like the games because they are actually really well-made games. And Harry Potter and the surroundings and additions are that which perfectly matches the action/fantasy game genre.
It should have started out as a game and stayed like that. :P

My mundane life.
My life is not very interesting at the moment.
I saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It was not that bad, although the book is obviously better. They kept in several details from the book, and I cried a bit near the end. The critics seemed a bit spiteful of the movie, but the thing is, I don't like the Harry Potter movies because I think they're amazing works of art, and I don't think they're intended to be. I just enjoy watching them because I'm a huge fan of the books and it's exciting to see them "brought to life" on the screen. I also saw the movie Away We Go, which was quite clever. At the movie theater I saw the Mad Hatter poster for Alice In Wonderland, which is weird since it's not coming out until March.
I've been doing some drawings and I'm trying to continue a story I was writing. I went raspberry picking today with my family and also went to Target and got Corpse Bride for only $5.00. Timburton.com, which formally was quite bare, now has a gallery of Tim Burton's artwork. Both his artwork and the way in which you view it are rather unusual. If you give them your email address they send you updates.
ZOMG an update - random summer musings
Kitsune no Tora
Drinking: Coca Cola/water
Thinking about: My fanfics
Watching: FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Reading: fanfiction, thinking about finishing HP6
Annoyed with: My mother and the dog and the cat
Kitsune no Tora is feeling: a little out of it, neutral
Hello hello~ It has been a while. D: I even got bitched at for not updating this, who would've thunk it? XD
Lesse... um, nothing really of importance HAPPENED in the past... however many weeks, as it is summer and I don't have much to do.
Well, I did get married. Sorta. XDDD
I am now Taylor's Tuesday wife~ Happened Monday. XD Let's see if I can find the convo... Here it is:
thoughtless77: LISA
Lisa: WUT
thoughtless77: I am getting enough spouses for each day of the week
thoughtless77: so
thoughtless77: *gets on one knee* Would you be my Tuesday?
thoughtless77: *shot*
Lisa: 8D
Lisa: OF COURSE I WILL BE YOUR TUESDAY <3
thoughtless77: 8D I'll make sure you won't regret it! *blomps(
thoughtless77: **
Lisa: I won't~ *blomps back* <3
"Blomp" was a typo for glomp that I made a while back, by the way. We tend to use it anyway. XD I decided we needed to have names for each other, like how Mima calls Taylor waifu and vice versa, so since Tuesday is "kayoubi" in Japanese we decided on kaifu. :3 Is cute~
...Otherwise, I can't really think of anything monumental or anything. XD;
I opened my own checking account about a week ago, so now I has a debit card. With that debit card, I opened a Paypal account, so I can shop online and stuffs. :3 But I didn't have a whole lot of money in the account since my old savings account is under my mother's name and I can't remove the money and close the account without her prescence (sucks majorly), I couldn't do much with it. But I got my last check from work recently, so I went and deposited that and put the money in the Paypal, aiming to go scour Ebay or something and buy myself a little something something. Unfortunately it seems it takes 3-5 days for the transfer to go through, so I have to wait now. ;_; I wanted to get FF7~ And mebbeh FF8, if I can afford that as well. I WANT MY CLOUD AND LEON FUFFF. 8D I'll have to look again when the transfer goes through. :/
When I went to deposit my check, I headed to Borders as well, looking for the 19th volume of FullMetal Alchemist. But they didn't have it. D8 It was supposed to be out already! Lazy bums. DX But it wasn't a total loss - I decided to get the seventh Harry Potter book, since they had it in paperback. (I avoided buying it when it first came out since the hardcover was like, $35. D: Rip off.) I figured I would finish/re-read the sixth one (I never finished it because I hated the book, but now that I've seen the movie I might as well just read it and get it over with) and finish the series. We have all the other books, might as well finish the collection. XP I'll get to reading that eventually.
Most of my days this summer consist of sleeping, reading fanfiction, talking to Taylor, talking on the forum, and writing. Or attempting to write. :P I have about... I dunno 4 ideas going? They're all Rune Factory 2 fanfiction too, haha. XD It's kinda surprising - I haven't touched the game in about a month, yet I'm coming up with a bunch of ideas. It seems to be my ongoing fandom as of now, not even Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann managed to push it away for long. (Which is EPIC WIN by the way. KAMINA. LEERON. I LOVE THEM. <3 Simon is pretty epic too, especially when he gets older.) I'll list them~
Duplicity: Longfic that I'm currently posting as I write it. There are currently 2 chapters up, and I'm slowly working on the third. Pairing is Max/Ray~ <3 I'm a little stuck, though, but the idea just WOULDN'T LEAVE ME ALONE so I skipped past it and wrote a different scene. It includes a little plot twist for added fluff and angst. 8D I had to do a little bit of research (and no Taylor, the drink name is not a major part, although it is something I would like to have), which got me SUPER EXTRA EXCITED, so hopefully later tonight-ish or tomorrow morning/afternoon I'll manage to work out the rest in my head and write it down. What I wrote this morning when I first got up (putting a notebook and pen near my bed was a VERY GOOD IDEA) needs a lot of tweaking and adding to now that I've done my research, but I'm happy with what I got down overall.
So far it's not garnering as much interest as my Barrett/Kyle or Jake oneshots, but that's to be expected - Barrett and Jake are the top popular bachelors. There's like, NOTHING on Max at all, and... I think two fanfics (one of which is dedicated to me, lol) involving Ray that I know of. So sad, they're awesome characters. D:
Lifeless: Longfic that I got the idea for A LONG TIME AGO, and started writing A LONG TIME AGO, but it got pushed to the side by little oneshot ideas and Duplicity, which is a lot less involved than this will be. It will be an extremely long fic (at least by my standards, which is somewhere around 30 chapters), with the pairing being Jake/Kyle. I plan on writing the ENTIRE THING (or at least 80% of it) before I begin posting, so it got pushed to the side when Duplicity came along. But I really love the pairing, so it WILL GET DONE. Eventually. <3 It's a lot more difficult of a pair to put together than pretty much any other one, because of Jake's inherent hate of humans, so it's going to be more work. But I don't mind~ I already have a rough outline and a lot of things going, it's juet GETTING IT GOING that is the hard part. the first chapter is written (took me 3 different starts to get one I liked) and the second chapter is started (but I started over at over 1,000 words because I didn't like it, so it's down to like, 300). I've got a starting block, it seems, which probably means that until my oneshot ideas get pushed away/written and Duplicity is finished, it won't get done. My original ETA was late August, but even that is looking a little too soon. XD;;
Sweet Thing: Oneshot, Barrett/Kyle. Pretty much going to be PWP yaoi lemon, but it's not totally hopeless - it takes a long time before getting to the sex. XP As for the premise, just imagine a hot day and melty ice cream. ;3 *shot* I got it JUST STARTED on either Monday or Tuesday (can't remember lol), so that might be a little while, since Duplicity keeps SCREAMING AT ME "GET ME DONE GET ME DONE WRITE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE." XD;;
Untitled: Undefinte length, college AU. Yaoi lemon, of course~ Everyone will be involved at some point, but it'll center around Kyle, Barrett, Jake, Max, Ray, Rosalind, and mebbeh one other bachelorette, I dunno. XD I love the RF2 bachelors a LOT, it seems. XP Main pair will be Barrett/Kyle, and side pairs will probably arise, along with some love triangles. :3 And probably some kink. XD; I still haven't completely developed the idea or written anything - it will probably end up as one fic, but each chapter could stand on its own and doesn't follow a specific defined plot overall - basically a series of oneshots, all with the same premise and setting. We'll see how it goes.
Untitled: For some reason, I REALLY WANT TO torture myself and attempt a 100 themes. I DUNNO WHY, but I do. XD So I've been looking for lists that would fit the series (although I could do AUs for the ones that don't fit into the premise of the game). I found one that I like and bookmarked it, but I haven't fully decided to do it yet. I'll do it when the urge gets too great or I finish Duplicity/Lifeless, we'll see. It depends on if I want to distract myself because I get stuck or something, that seems to be helping moderately with Dupliciity right now.
....That's all I can think of right now. XD There's some old half-baked oneshots saved on my computer as well - almost all abandonded ideas for The Village Square's contest - so if I feel the need I might try and fix/finish those eventually as well.
At this rate, I'm going to have a loooooot of RF fanfics.... XD;; With RF3 coming out either at the end of the year or beginning of next year, that'll probably grow even more. XD ARGH ILU RUNE FACTORY <3
...That's all I can think of to talk about for right now, so goodnight, digital abyss. <3
