Dreaming's all I do, if only they'd come true

[gogmagog]

I was looking at a few of my entries from a year ago, mostly to remind myself of the dates of a few upcoming birthdays and make sure I hadn't missed things. And you know, I used to be a really interesting and mildly witty blogger! (It's kind of sad that I've devolved to this, but I'm sure it'll get better once I finish comps.)

But that's one of the nice things about this blog; even just reading a couple of weeks' worth of entries reminded me of a crapload of stuff that I'd forgotten about in the interim and would have been totally lost forever otherwise.

Also, I think spring is the time every year when I start to feel like my life is starting to get better. I imagine it's part coming out of the blahness of winter and part completing school things and part that it's the time I tend to start new things, like healthier eating programs and more exercise (because of the nicer weather) and other new projects (last year it was not long after this time that I came for the walkthrough of my awesome new apartment, for example).

Anyway! Since no one replied to this meme the first time around last year, I figure I'd bring it out of cold storage and try it again:

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it.
Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, writing techniques, etc.

I failed the written exam for my drivers test like 7 times and took the drivers test two times, it's nothing to feel to bad about. I was to cautious and I had an asshole examiner the first time for the driving test.

So what games are you currently playing?

Yeah, asshole examiners are not great; also one time I took it there was a torrential rainstorm. Unfortunately, every time I've taken it I've been under time constraints - because my parents are in town with their car for me to take it on, and obviously they have to head back before TOO long - and really every time after I've come up to Iowa I've also had the problem of being pretty out of practice driving.

Nevertheless, I've survived Kansas City rush hour and most of the drive from KC to IC on highways (with my mom in the car, obviously), so I can't be THAT crap of a driver.

And in terms of actually currently playing, this week I played some Chrono Trigger for the DS, some Star Ocean: Second Evolution, and some Star Ocean: The Last Hope (I'm a big tri-Ace h0, clearly). In terms of a larger idea of "currently playing" - i.e., games I'm in the middle of and intend to get back to as soon as this work period of hell is over - Persona 4's on the list as well.
