I CHOOSE YOU

[slimequest]

So apparently I've been chosen to receive an award for "outstanding work" from the Spanish department of my college! I guess I'm doing something right. I really enjoy studying Spanish and my teachers are all awesome so doing well just kind of comes naturally with that.

Ironically, I'll probably be studying Japanese the whole weekend, but that's because I have a quiz! And it's harder! I think compared to Japanese, Spanish seems so easy that I don't take it as seriously, but I really do love both <3

ANYWAY, I have the weekend all to myself as krile is having some mother/daughter girly weekend away, doing who knows what. I probably shouldn't dare ask. This leaves me time to have a little "me" time. (read: play Metroid Prime 3 in my underwear)

Although I have DS games to play, I've been distracted by SNES ROMs lately. Most notably Arcana, a lovely little dungeon crawler with *gasp* a story, some interesting characters, and good music.



Rooks likes traps! Also Axs is dying.

I like Rooks' design for some reason, he's sort of the epitome of 90's badass RPG hero. With a hat.

I leave you now with everyone's favorite, USA vs Japan boxart differences! Scary shampoo commercial fortune teller lady vs kawaii anime magical wonderland.

Muy bien!

"Salah" just sounds like a mispronunciation of "Sarah" to me. :{

Gracias!

Yeah well... it actually is a mistranslation, as her name is Sara in the Japanese version. Back in the day I thought it was kind of a unique name but now it's obvious that they just kind of messed up!

I'll bet you haven't done either. :P

Also you didn't mention this award to me, mister.

Congratulations on the award you're receiving Shawnie. You always work hard and so you very well deserve it. It makes me happy to have at least a friend on LJ that will understand the occasional Spanish babble I put on my journal XD

XD have fun on your bachelor night, lol.

Thanks ^^ I love studying Spanish, all the cool kids speak it! But it is nice to have native speakers around so I can ask "does this make any sense?" and for practice, of course.

I am having fun being so-called "single" for a couple of nights, although I've mostly been doing boring around-the-house kinds of things. With the occasional gaming, but you know me!

Krile and I just recently watched the "Sanzo vs Kitten" episode of Reload, by the way XD It's gotta rank up there with some of the all-time funniest episodes for sure.

[flower-miko.livejournal.com]

You've always sounded fine to me.....pfft...you could teach A LOT of people at my job that don't speak Spanish but like to pretend they do >.>;

XD hey you're being productive and you're taking care of the house like the good boy you X3

I love that episode, though it's been awhile I've watched it. The kitten there reminds me of a calico kitten I owned years ago, but mostly, I like it for making fun of Sanzo XD

[slimequest.livejournal.com]

I kept thinking that many fangirls wish they were that kitten, especially when she gets to cuddle with him in bed XD; In fact, there's a lot of Sanzo glamor shots of him laying in bed in this episode, come to think of it...

I also loved the different names everyone gave to the kitty, it fit all their personalities perfectly :3

This is the first I've ever seen the Japanese boxart, but I always kinda liked the US version because I thought the lady was hot in a freaky, scary sorta way.

[slimequest.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't kick her out of bed, but I'd probably leave my night light on.

[flower-miko.livejournal.com]

XDD Sanzo is just in denial he likes cats =D

Yeah...XD somehow I'm not surprised Gojyo would've picked something like "Betty" to a female kitten that.

You could use other neko icons :P

[slimequest.livejournal.com]

ALL my icons should be nekos, probably XD But I agree!

Ahahahahahaha...ha.

Have you ever seen a cover of Suikoden showing real life people? That one haunts me to this day.

Congratulations on getting that award!

Re: Ahahahahahaha...ha.

[slimequest.livejournal.com]

I own Suikoden 1, so yes, I'm unfortunately well aware of the cover and the nightmares that go along with it xD;

And thanks!
