KH1: The one with the Ice Titan, since it's so friggin hard unless you know how to deflect the shards. KH2: Hades Cup, watching Hades get pissed off.

My favorite scene has got to be when Leon first appears in Traverse Town, because at that time I was his biggest Yaoi fan. XD

Every week, I'll be posting a new question for you to answer! Today's question (2/24/09): What's your favorite Coliseum cup? (any game in the series)

I think my favorite moment is when Sora plunges the Keyblade into himself and turns into a Heartless. Yeah, I knew it wouldn't last 'cause he's the hero of the game and all, but I still found that scene very effective and moving. It takes a lot of...

Profile Information

What kind of geek are you?
Um? Pretty much everything about me is geeky.
Why do you consider yourself a geek?
One reason: I don't share many interests with my more mainstream family.
How did you find out about our Geek community?
Q invited me
What are your "geeky equipment" specs?
Pink Blackberry Curve
Nintendo DS
Sony PlayStation 2
Mac Mini
A built PC that currently isn't functioning
Big collection of manga & video games
What do you want to be when you grow up?
A writer. Or an astronaut. (Oh, I somehow read this question as what DID you want to be--i.e., when you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up. Now? I'm quite content with my current job, which is Financial Analyst. Spreadsheets FTW!)
What makes you laugh?
mackillian. She's my best friend and finds the same things funny as I do.
What is the thing in life you treasure most?
Hard to choose one. Topping the list is my condo and my cat. But my friends and life itself are also on the list.
What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?
I double-majored in math and computer science. Is that geeky enough for you?
What do you do to entertain yourself?
....I am twelve.
Favorite music, movies, books, shows, artists, games, people, events, hobbies, etc.?
Music by Uematsu-san and Shimomura-san. Final Fantasy & Kingdom Hearts. A bunch of different manga / anime. Crochet and knitting. Yes, those last two ARE geeky. :p Don't believe me? Someone crocheted a Mario Bros afghan, which quite possibly is the BEST THING EVER! I'm hoping to crochet a Moogle dool and a Katamari eventually.
What's your Web site / blog address?

Epic post is epic, part III: the squee just keeps on coming (MOAR VERSUS)

I'm not even going to bother with an opening. Here's the second Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer. Watch. Enjoy. Watch again. You'll want to. Go ahead--I'll wait.



WAS THAT NOT AWESOME?

Let's break it down.

Prologue
This trailer starts similarly to the previous one, with Noctis in the back of the car. There's one difference, though: a voice is speaking on the radio (at least, to me it sounds like it's supposed to be the car radio, and not a… Continue

Epic post is epic, Part II: My squee, let me share it with you (gushing over FF Versus XIII)

I've been aware of Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII, but I hadn't really paid much attention to news of it. I know exactly when that changed. It was April 27th. I was searching for icons in the Unlock the Achievement challenge/contest, when I stumbled upon this post of scans from a magazineContinue

Epic post is epic, Part 1: You call that a trailer? (Thoughts on Final Fantasy XIII)

What could be more epic than Final Fantasy?

Unsurprisingly, there are some more FF games in development right now. 'Cause Squeenix has a good thing going with the series, and they know it. Slap "Final Fantasy" on a box and people are going to buy it.

This is really the first one I've had the experience of waiting for. My first FF game was FFX, and I got into it shortly after it came out. Haven't played XI at all; knew about XII being re… Continue

I'm a group admin! + updates on geeky activities

I started a Kingdom Hearts group. And hey, it's a Featured Group today! *squees* I'm already having a lot of fun with it. With the three new games in the works, plus Re:CoM being released in the U.S., there will be plenty of content to add to the group in the upcoming months. Hopefully people will start joining soon.

Got my yarn today for the OrchidContinue

So is there such a thing as a friends page here, or do I have to visit my friends' individual profiles to see what they are up to? (Can you tell I've been spoiled by LJ and I'm not used to social networking sites?)

Geeks! is jumpy and slow in Camino. Sadface. I may need to try FireFox out. I do like FireFox on the PC, but I got used to Camino on the Mac, as it had been running better than FireFox was. But this was pre-FireFox 3, so maybe the new version is better. (Also, I cannot abbreviate Fir… Continue

Heya... so, fun fact- I found out the reason for my last big anxiety blow up two and a half weeks ago is because the silly nurse practitioner I see gave me a new medicine (for a non-anxiety issue) and didn't notice that it counteracts anxiety medicine. Therefore, it was like I went cold turkey off my meds. One anxiety problem solved. =P

Still, quite annoying to know I lost those two weeks to panic when it wasn't even my real anxiety poking through- just a medicine reaction. Yeesh!

Hey, thank you for the kind words about my photography. I love photography but have slacked recently with getting out there and capturing new images. As far as your work, if you would like me to do any kind of post processing on any of your images, send me a message. Maybe we can work together on that. I love helping other people out and showing them tips and techniques.
