FF8 again, etc.

Seven and a half hours in. I think I've more or less got the hang of Junctioning, but I've noticed that I can't get any of those neato status or elemental Junctioning things because my GFs don't HAVE them. o_O Is there any way they're taught and where the hell are the other GFs hiding? Seriously, I'm still stuck with Queza, Ifrit, and Shiva and I feel like a 'tard.

I keep getting stuck in Laguna's scenarios and wandering around for a half hour before I'm like "OH! There's a path!" Durrrr. I had to pause the game after I first discovered his Limit Break, though; I was laughing too hard. I can't imagine anyone swinging from a rope and shooting a gun with a SERIOUS STONY FACE like he had. Limit Breaks are serious business. :|

I can't put my finger on what, exactly, but it feels like there's something missing.

Kind of disappointed I didn't get so much as a phone call from someone today.... But it was raining and I don't want to get foamcore in that and risk ruining it, so I've got no secondary video game, either. And because it was so dark, I didn't get sewing done. It seems that the only break in the next WEEK will be on Friday. :/ So, my costume's not gonna get done (because I hate sewing under incandescent lights) and that's a major bummer.

I did get some reading done, though. I've borrowed a book on body language; it's an interesting and quick read. Y'know how I'm already really tomboyish? Apparently, even my gesturing has a masculine slant to it. XD Why am I so terrible at being a girl?! Not that I'd have it any other way, of course, but it's just amusing. How did I learn to be this way? What about it was so appealing and fitting for me?

:::shrug::: Okay, back to playing video games and watching baseball. :D I love that the Mets are in FIRST PLACE.



:D



Momo now strikes fear into my heart because I'm afraid of zombies. It's a good thing Sokka didn't eat him waaaaay back in 103 because then Sokka would have been a zombie and my heart would have shattered. >.>;; But yeah, zombie!Momo.

I was actually playing through the game again a few months ago, and it was the first time I truly attempted to do everything, including leveling up all the GF's as far as possible. So I didn't realize how completely awesome Diablos was until this playthrough. XD

It takes a lot of effort to level any GF to 100, but hitting everything on the battlefield for 9999 damage is totally worth it. In my previous runs, before I ever bothered leveling up Doomtrain either, I pretty much stuck only with Cactuar, and the generic high-hitting ones like Bahamut and Eden.

I know better now. :P
