In searching YouTube for videos of Mouth by Merrill Bainbridge, I found a video of an all-female A Capella group. They’re fucking good! Check it out:

I’m thinking of things that Shinra would issue a Turk - a suit, tie, tie clip, lapel pin, cufflinks, ID Badge, et cetera. What else would be in a Turk kit? I want to send my geekier friends a Turk kit for Christmas. I can’t give them the suit, obviously, but all of that other stuff I can make, for rather cheaply.

Suggestions, more like.

I want to be a Turk, from FF7, for Halloween. I suspect that Cally will also agree to being a Turk, because Turks rock. We could be two awesome Turk peas in a pod. Anyway.

I’ve figured out a means to make lapel pins with the Shinra logo (I made some ghetto versions today and they came out pretty good), and I plan on ditzing about with Shinra cufflinks. Now, can anyone tell me anything else they think a good Turk would have for uniform parts?

To do soon: Go thrift-shopping to find a blue suit I can alter to fit me properly.

“Only Tasha and I would discuss Camus first thing in the morning.”

Had a brief scare where I thought I’d lost everything again, but in actuality it was just the server doing backups or something. I just made my own backup now and I am set.

I’ve begun editing my fanfiction. This is going to take quite a while because that involves getting everything into a manageable format (everything is in a different format for the majority of the time I’ve been writing and I want it all the same), and then editing for grammar. This will take a while but when I’m done the site will be FINISHED and then I can concentrate on the PHP tutorials, and I can make a damn layout. Fucking wordpress. D:

In other news: I has candy.

No, seriously, because I find some odd stuff on it. Stuff that makes me go waaaaaaay back.

Back to say, 1989 - 1995, when my dad ran a Bulletin Board System (henceforth known as a BBS) called Gonzo’s Place.

Gonzo’s Place was pretty popular for a number of reasons, but one of the main reasons was because my dad hosted a game called Legend of the Red Dragon (henceforth known as LORD).

Back when I was a wee munchin of about seven years old, and I was just learning how to rewrite my dad’s config.sys files (which he loves to brag about but fuck it, I use a Mac now so I don’t need no stinkin’ config.sys file!), I was introduced to LORD. Of course, because one of the main points of LORD is to get laid as often as possible, he had to re-write the game to be more kid-friendly, which he did. Us kidlings got our own game server! G-rated! It was fucking awesome.

Anyway, this story has a point. My all-time favorite MUD has always been LORD, and in explaining that to someone I stumbled across the blog of Seth Able, creator of LORD. It is, because Seth is a wildly intelligent man, no doubt, powered by Wordpress. Just like a little someone you all know. *coughcough*

Holy fuck the past is biting me in the ass. I feel old suddenly, and I’m only 23.5. I was only five years old when LORD came out. Holy fuck! Anyway, seth Able is fucking hilarious and everyone should go hang out at his sites.

Seriously, every time I play through Final Fantasy VII (and I’ve played through it over 20 times, from start to finish. I may need to invest in a new copy because it’s getting rather beat up) I find something new.

This time, I’ve found the following:

Several quotes

And one new creature I didn’t know existed and isn’t even in my bestiary.

Things characters have said:

Yuffie: “Let’s just leave it and get the hell out of here!”

Yuffie: “I don’t want anything to do with that materia!”

Barret: “Are you high on Mako or something?”

I am about to walk into Rocket Town on the first disc. I do not have Cid yet, but I have everyone else, including Yuffie and Vincent.

EVERYONE is at level 99 and EVERYONE has their first six limit breaks (excepting Cait Sith, who only has two limit breaks, and Vincent, who only has four..I have the first three for him). Red XIII actually has his seventh and ultimate limit break because I got it when I beat the Lost Number, but otherwise I’m just waiting to get the items for everyone else. When I get Cid I will also limit level like a madwoman with him.

I have issues. ^_^
