Ankhi just posted this up on her journal...so I filled it up with my own ~~odd and utterly random~~ fandoms. I wonder how some of these will even work? >_> I smell strangeness on the horizon. XD Or.. maybe that's just Econtra. -snickers-

As if I need more to do right now... but why not? XD I need to take a break sometime. I love to write.~

Also currently reading The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey right now. It is <3.

Better Meme XD

2008-03-14T12:31:05Z

Ankhi made a much neater meme, I suggest anyone who likes this sort of thing go post because it's really cute. ^_^

And aggggh, two Latin quizzes today. ._.;

And my Biology teacher has set us up with so much homework over Spring Break! Yikes!

Anyway, here's the pretty meme. ^^ I posted there if you want to comment.

✉ The Letter Meme ✉

Trial Meme >_>

2008-03-13T12:47:34Z

So one of my friends is feeling down and she requested a 'meme'. Being a recent addition to the LJ community (okay, so I joined back in September, but I still don't feel like I know anything -_-;) I had to ask what a meme was and all that jazz. I think I've got it now though, and I'm going to try my hand at it... though I don't know all that happy coding stuff that others know. :(

Anyway, meme's beneath the cut, if anyone wants to try it.

About a year or two ago (I can't remember for certain) there were a bunch of movies out about animals trying to escape from somewhere, or get back to the jungle. That's what inspired me for this. ;)

For this Scenario:

What Animal You Would Be?
What Other Animals Would Be Your Friends?
And Who Would Those Friends Be?
What Plan Would You Come Up With to Escape?
What Country Would You Escape To?
What Would Your Disguise Be?
Would You Decide In The End To Return To The Comfort Of The Zoo, Or Stick It Out And Make It To The Wild And Freedom?
Why?

I'll post my own answer as soon as I get to the library. ^^

Why boyfriends need lunch...

2008-01-23T20:02:21Z

Boyfriends need to have lunch.. otherwise they IM you stuff like this:

(Conversation began with talking of cloning me so he could have two of me.)

Sammy's Boyfriend (1:26:24 PM): Sorry... >.>
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:26:37 PM): You know I have a problem with knowing how far is too far
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:27:33 PM): My problem is that I know exactly how far is too far, and then deliberately crossing the line anyway
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:30:11 PM): You know I wouldn't kill any of you, unless perhaps there was a flaw in the cloning machines, and it spawned a million evil Sammy's, all bent on destroying the world
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:30:46 PM): But then we might have to form an underground resistance, and you will be the leader, because you would know all their weaknesses
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:31:12 PM): All Evil Sammy's grow their hair differently
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:31:22 PM): So we'd know which one was the good you
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:31:36 PM): Oh!
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:31:59 PM): But what if you decided it would be a better world with all Sammys, and decided to join the evil ones!
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:32:34 PM): And then a few of the evil Sammy's, disillusioned with the mad schemes to destroy the world joined the rebels! :O
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:33:14 PM): So then you would be controlling an army of evil you's, but the human resistance would have a few ex-evil Sammy's to fight against you
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:34:59 PM): And then we would get a time machine to send one of our evil Sammys back in time to possibly kill the original you, and prevent this from ever happening
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:35:38 PM): And then I would probably die in the past too, because I would be trying to save the past you from the future ex-evil you
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:37:33 PM): But then you would send current evil Sammys back in time to stop the ex-evil Sammys from killing the past version of you
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:38:07 PM): Also, they will have to save me, because i'm the one who invents the cloning machine in the first place
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:38:15 PM): Past me, that is
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:39:39 PM): But then in the gigantic conclusion, future me goes back in time, and instead of killing past Sammy, decides to sacrifice himself, and kills past me, thus I would have never created the cloning machine, and thus negating the horrible outcome that would have occurred
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:40:38 PM): In a poignant scene when future me is fading out of existence, and past me is lying in a pool of my own blood, we both look at you and say "I love you", and then die/fade away
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:42:27 PM): You (there is no longer any future/evil yous), so heartbroken over your loss, move away from medieval studies and go into biology and anatomy sciences
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:42:41 PM): You set about trying to find a cure.....for death!
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:43:18 PM): That will eventually lead into a second trilogy of stories when your experiments fail and I become a zombie
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:45:14 PM): I could think up a story for that too, but it would take a few minutes
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:51:33 PM): We can call the the first movie: "Me and my evil ex-girlfriend"!
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:52:29 PM): What do you think?
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:52:58 PM): The second trilogy could be called: "Me and my zombie ex-boyfriend"
Sammy (1:58:09 PM): I love you hun.. but I think you need some food. XD
Sammy's Boyfriend (1:59:52 PM): Bah!
Sammy's Boyfriend (2:00:16 PM): I give you one slight look into the insanity that are my thought processes, and you think I need food

The End!

Florida!

2008-01-12T14:36:15Z

Yay! I'm in Florida! I have been for the past week or so, actually! Haha.. I'm just so slow at LJ.

Anyway. Not much to say about it. It was an orchestra tour trip, so we had to drag along the instruments which was not the most fun thing in the world. Our concerts went well though, and I think we made a good impression on the people here. I'll be glad to be getting home though. I miss Minnesota and the ability to be on my own schedule. I don't like schedules very much. ^^;;

I did well in all my classes from last semester. Yahoo! The worst grade I got was in Latin, a 3.0. :/ Boo. I'm really going to try harder at that next semester. Maybe I can show an improvement which will look good on my transcript for Grad school. <3

See'ya later!

Final Fantasy X / Heaven, Hell, and the End of the World Project

2007-12-11T17:05:11Z

Hello friends! Because I fail at making webpages I'm going to go ahead and use Livejournal to create my project for my Heaven, Hell, and the End of the World class. I'll put the whole thing under LJ cut, no worries. Feel free to read it if you want.. I'm also posting it so I can just give my professor a handy dandy link in case he wants to use my presentation in the future. ;) Mwahaha, I winz at having a final project involve video games. n_n/

Enjoy!

Why do we play? Why do we wish to save the world?

Sin

"Long time ago, there were a whole lot of cities in Spira. Big
cities with machina--machines--to run 'em. People played all
day and let the machine do the work. And then, well, take a
look. Sin came, and destroyed the machina cities. And Zanarkand
along with 'em. Yeah, that was about a thousand years ago, just
like you said. If you ask me, Sin's our punishment for letting
things get out of hand. What gets me, though...is we gotta
suffer, 'cause of what some goofballs did way back when!
'Course, we must always repent for our sins! That's important!
It's just that, it's hard to keep at it sometimes, you know?" -Wakka, Final Fantasy X

What is sin? What is Sin? There seem to be two forms that are readily defined by human-kind: that of an inner sin that is born in us because we are some sort of fallen race, and the other sin resultant through actions or inaction. In Final Fantasy X, the monster Sin is the result of the past mistakes of two nations, their war creating a creature whose sole purpose is to destroy the homes and lives of the people of Spira. Much more like the punishment for error in the Old Testament, generations of these people have endured the destructive nature of Sin, even though they themselves were not the ones who committed the original mistake. Yet, like the Church in the Middle Ages, there is a way to alleviate Sin for a time...but a sacrifice must be made.

"The summoners are practitioners of a sacred art, sworn to
protect the people of Yevon. Only a chosen few become summoners,
who call forth entities of greater power: the aeons. The aeons
hear our prayers and come down to us. They are the blessing of
Yevon." -Wakka, Final Fantasy X

In our world, God's answer to human's fall to sin was to bring a Messiah, according to the Christian faith. In Final Fantasy X, the people known as Summoners are 'blessed' with the power to alleviate Sin's presence in Spira for a time. Much like the Medieval Church idea of monks and nuns praying for the sins of all, the Summoner's purpose is to go on a pilgrimage, collecting the Aeons of the Fayth so that he or she might defeat Sin and rid the world of it for a couple years. While Sin will eventually return, for a time people might live in peace. The sacrifice of monks and nuns was to shut themselves off from the world, forgoing wealth, comfort, and sexual relationships to focus their minds on God. In Final Fantasy X, the Summoners must give their lives and that of a friend-death the price for temporary salvation.

The Farplane

"The dead need guidance. Filled with grief
over their own death, they refuse to face their fate. They yearn
to live on, and resent those still alive. You see, they envy the
living. And in time, that envy turns to anger, even hate. Should
these souls remain in Spira, they become fiends that pray on the
living. Sad, isn't it? The sending takes them to the Farplane,
where they may rest in peace." -Lulu, Final Fantasy X

The dead in Final Fantasy X are treated both as they were in the Old Testament, and as those of the Early Christian Church. As the character Lulu explains to the newcomer Tidus, the dead are not good or evil, merely angry at a world in which they can no longer live. It is the responsibility of the Summoners, along with their quest to fulfill their pilgrimage, to 'send' these spirits on to a sort of an afterlife, an otherworld that is not a place of judgment or punishment. Of course later in the game it becomes unclear whether the Farplane, the visitable 'heaven' of Final Fantasy X, is really a location for the dead...or if it is merely a place where the former energy of their body dwells, which can be tapped into by a visiting person to see their loved ones.

This questioning of the fate of the dead among the characters of the story much resembles the questions humankind has had throughout the ages of our world. Though the Farplane is seen not as a place of judgment because Sin's physical presence in the world seems to counteract the need for anyone to be judged (i.e. we're all already being punished for our deeds in this world), it is seen as a comfort to those people whose family and friends have been destroyed by Sin. Through the Sending and the existence of the Farplane, the people of Spira believe that their loved ones will not become the monsters that roam the land, much as Revelation comforts family members about the fate of those the love who have sacrificed themselves for Christianity.

Ending the Spiral of Death

"Summoners challenge the bringer of death, Sin, and die doing so.
Guardians give their lives to protect their summoner. The fayth are
the souls of the dead. Even the maesters of Yevon are unsent. Spira is
full of death. Only Sin is reborn, and then only to bring more death.
It is a cycle of death, spiraling endlessly." -Auron, Final Fantasy X

"My father... I loved him. So I... I will live with my sorrow, I will
live my own life! I will defeat sorrow, in his place. I will stand my
ground and be strong. I don't know when it will be but someday, I will
conquer it. And I will do it without...false hope." -Yuna, Final Fantasy X

"Hope is...comforting. It allows us to accept fate, however tragic
it might be." -Yunalesca, Final Fantasy X

In Final Fantasy X there is an end to one world and the beginning of another. For centuries the people of Spira have lived with the physical manifestation of what they believe to be punishment for the wrongful acts of their ancestors. Hope plays an important role in this world, and long have the people believed that after years of sacrifice by Summoners and by atoning for their wrongdoings, they would finally receive a world without Sin, a place where they could live and grow without worry for a neverending battle with destruction. Yuna and her friends are the ones to break this cycle, which is in fact closer to death than hope.

Their realization of the truth of Spira comes near to the end of the game. The Cycle of Death, as the character Auron calls it, has haunted the world for years. Yes, Sin is pushed away for a time, but with the current system it will always return, always continue to wreck destruction on Spira and her people. It is then that the characters decide to go against tradition, to forge a new path that will break the spiral of destruction that has caught their world. Instead of simply destroying Sin for a time, they decide to find some way to destroy it forever and usher in a new era of peace for their world. The Apocalyptic resemblances between the story of Final Fantasy X and the book of Revelation are unmistakable.

Final Fantasy X, as far as I know, was not created to be an allegory of Christian faith, and yet the ideas of breaking free of a unwanted cycle of death and sin, a fight against death and evil to free the world, a final battle for the fate of the world, bring images from Revelation alive. Why do people play video games? Why do they wish to save the world? In the end I believe it has to do with the realization in any religion or any belief system that the world is a fallen place that needs to be mended. There is something wrong with the system we live in, some darkness that can only be 'fixed' by some dramatic action, some thrilling battle that is touched by the hand of spirits or gods. It is no wonder that people are attracted to the idea of being able to cause this change through the characters they play. In games like Final Fantasy X, a person is just one boss battle away from bringing about a new world, a new era of peace and prosperity to all peoples. Won't you play?

Fire Alarms =/= win :|

2007-12-07T16:59:45Z

So last night a fire alarm went off, at 11:49pm. I was not amused. :| I won't go into it too much because everyone has angry dorm-fire-alarm stories but I did find it amusing that the first reaction my roommates and I had was to try to take down our room fire alarm to see if that was randomly going off. It wasn't. :| I have never heard a fire alarm as piercing as this one. x_x I think it was made to keep college students from staying in their rooms during drills (or a real fire). My ears are still ringing this morning. :|

In other news I had a really random dream last night about having long hair again. O_O; It kinda felt like how people with missing limbs describe it when they can feel their 'phantom limb'. (I'm sorry if that's a really offensive description to those who have missing limbs or those with family or friends who do -_-; ) It wasn't as long as I once had it (down to my waist) but it felt really nice anyway, long blond hair swinging halfway down my back. I've been growing it out for several months now, and I can't wait until it gets that long again. n_n/

In other other news, econtra_rpg is amusing the heck out of me right now. XD Magical mistletoe is springing up all around and trapping two characters under it until they kiss. At the moment my dear Samus is stuck under one with Master Chief. It's a thread for the ages. XD Here if you want to read it. Midna's eventually going to get some smooches with Jareth and Achmed I hope.~ And I'm hoping to get my Wolf app done before this Saturday so he can join in on the fun. :3

Um.. that's all for now!

Forgetful

2007-11-25T18:51:37Z

See. I always forget to post in my journals. -_-;

Anyway, not much going on with me.. I got a new computer, yay! I have 1000000 things to do for Medieval Studies (not so yay). And.. um... Thanksgiving was fun. >_>

Well, it's better than nothing, right? -_-;

In the Dorms

2007-10-22T00:43:53Z

Ah... the dorms.. lovely, pristine, wonderful roommates...

And a herd of elephants upstairs. Or maybe zebras.. giraffes?

One of my roommates suggested they were using pogo-sticks to cross their room.

I think they might be trying to kill each other.

I suppose elephants would have broken through the floor already..

...

...Maybe they're dancing bears.

Oh lovely.. now I want to watch Anastasia.

Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December.

Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...

Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...

Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart
Used to know,
Things it yearns to remember...

And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December.

Yay for a new journal!
