Okay, so we've finally got a house sorted for next year!
*Yatta!*
We're paying a surprisingly reasonable amount of rent, with water and TV license included. Bills for gas, electric and internet aren't that much more - we've worked out that we'll be paying less per month than some people are paying in rent alone. And no, I'm not telling you the address. But it is in Norwich, obviously
in other news, I've just found out that Tony Curtis is coming to the May Expo *awesomeness* Actually, I was just talking about Some Like It Hot the other day, while debating the best last lines of movies ever. "Nobody's perfect" is a good contender, as well as "This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship" (no prizes for guessing which of my favourite movies that's from!)
Oh, and Suzan and I watched Clue the other week. It's the best freaking movie ever. Ever. God, I've lost track of how many quotes I've used from this movie over the last couple of weeks ^.^ Actually, the 'real ending' of Clue has as excellent last line, as well.
And I spent yesterday downloading both of the Lion King sequels so that Suzan and I can have LION KING DAY soon!!!!
Here's a list of all the 'days' we've planned so far:
o Back to the Future day
o Lion King day
o Batman day
o Columbo day
o Pirates of the Caribbean Day
o Posh day (not exactly sure what this one will entail yet, we planned it ages ago!)
I'm sure there are more that I can't remember! They're all going to be epic!
Also, it's February now, so we're all gearing up for MARCHCON!!! Suzan and I have a surprise for everyone that no one is allowed to know about yet. I've no idea exactly how we'll go about making it yet, but it will be amazing....
Oh, and I've just reached the second Bleach Filler Arc, and I'm so pissed off that I think I'm going to skip it. Seriously, I sat through the whole of the Bount arc and now they throw this at me? At least Nova was cool and Kariya was actually a decent villain for a filler-badguy. I don't care about any of these new characters. The only good thing so far is that Kira has had more screentime. I'm going to skip it. Hopefully then I can get more of my Grimmjow, and all will be right with the world ^.^ Also, I'll have almost caught up with the latest episodes. That means I can devote more time to watching everything else on my 'to watch' list.... FMA springs to mind ^.^

Kingdom Hearrrrrrrts!!!!

Okay, so Amelia and I spent much of yesterday playing Kingdom Hearts, and here's a few observations I have on it. Despite having completed the game twice (though I STILL can't beat Sephiroth at the Coliseum despite being on Level 100 with Ultima Weapon :S) I haven't played it alongside anyone else before. We just cleared Agrabah in this new game.
*Hannah's observations on Kingdom Hearts*
o Kairi REALLY IS ANNOYING! Maybe it's because she's matured so much in KH2 and I forgot how much I hated her in this first game, but every time she spoke I could feel my teeth grinding.
o Potions actually do heal way more than the first-level cure spell.
o Clayton is a bitch to beat. Seriously, we must have been pwned by this guy a dozen times. We left the game on the continue screen for over an hour while we watched Tower of Druaga to calm down before eventually beating him. And I'm sick of the cutscene before the fight with him.
o On the other hand, the Pot Centipede and the Cave of Wonders were both much, much easier than I remember them being. Maybe it's because I have a better idea of how to beat them now, and I possibly went better prepared into the battles with them. I didn't level up anywhere near as much as I usually do before fighting the Pot Centipede, though.
o My eyes bleed when I have to sit through the gummi levels. KH2 is far superior in this respect.
Please don't get me wrong - Kingdom Hearts is still my favourite game and I'm not trying to bring it down. It's just the first time I've ever sat back and looked at it critically, instead of constantly going "zOMG this game is awesome!" Possibly because Amelia was in control of the gameplay a lot of the time. It was very interesting being a spectator.

Musings on a state of mind
2 min read
Okay, my sleep pattern has been broken once and for all! I guess this is the danger of being at uni, but until the last couple of weeks I had been getting to sleep by about 1am, and waking up by about 10:30am (except Thursdays when I have a 9am seminar). These last couple of weeks, I have found myself going out more, and staying up later and later, which is something I never envisioned when I first came away. I mean, why would anyone want to spend time with me? I'm not the most interesting person; I'm quiet and shy; I spend half my life on the Internet. A certain incident at the beginning of term knocked my self-confidence for six, and I was worried that I might go into a relapse of my usual "everyone hates me and maybe the world would be better off without me" state of mind. (I won't go into details of the incident that triggered this; though it should be easy to guess if you've spent any time socializing with our friendship group). But, amazingly, people still want to be friends with me. Three people want me to live in a house with them next year. Two of them sat up with me making midnight stir-fry and watching First Contact until 5:45 this morning. So I ask myself, what am I so hung up on? Sure, all the bullying at school left me with zero self-esteem, and all of the stuff with the home friendship group afterwards did nothing to help, but how much of my paranoia was just that? Do people judge me as I think they do, or am I in face a much nicer person than I give myself credit for?

Re:Con
2 min read
I just got back from the Tokyopop Manga Night they were having at Waterstones. I'm so tiiiiiiiiiiired! I'm supposed to be doing an essay that's in for tomorrow - 2000 words and I've only done 662 so far, on the causes of the American Civil War :/
Re:Con was okay, though you can tell that the guy fronting it really didn't want to be there through all of the sarcastic comments he was making about the manga he was supposed to be trying to get us to buy. I ended up buying the first volume of Death Note and the first two volumes of Bleach (it was buy 2 get 1 free) although I really shouldn't have been spending any more money after the ridiculous amount that I spent at Expo on Saturday.... I got 4 volumes of free 'sneak peek' manga as well. Nick fed me sushi which was cool cos I hadn't eaten all day. I'm still really hungry now but I know that if I go into the kitchen then it'll just be an excuse for me to not write my essay. As if I needed any more of those....
Oh, oh, and I watched Bleach 60 earlier. Oh. My. God. I am so glad that I've been able to watch this series without any spoilers whatsoever, that's all I will say on that!
