Seven months ago, on the couch a close acquaintence, I came across the wonderfully comedic skit on youtube.com call Demyx Time. It brought me so much joy and my friends began to ramble about the plot in Kingdom Hearts and just like that, I was hooked. By June, I had every game(save for re:coded and BBS(due to recommendations in not getting it and lack of psp respectively). By August I had everyone of them beat(except for the ones I didn't own). Then, as Emil watched me and supported me in my struggles in the worlds of light and darkness, she told me that I would probably like Final Fantasy X. Since we were over halfway through II(I played them in chronological order; yes, that means I played a few days in 358, stopped and played Re:Com, then continued 358), we decided to beat X afterwards. By the end of October, not only did we have X beat, but X-2 as well(with 100% the first time through, mind you...stupid Tidus :() And now, here I am in January, with all of the main final fantasy games(well, the ones with #'s) as well.
That isn't a bad thing, I know, and sounds like I'm just rambling, but honestly, this is a problem. Six years ago, a once-close friend of mine introduced me to this wonderful website called fanfiction.net. Typical nerdy, book loving me feel head over heels and has read the majority(and good) Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno fics(my then obsession. With how Naruto is going nowadays...we won't talk about that). Then after I grew out of Naruto, fanfiction continued to influence my developing brain and now I feel ill if I've not looked at the sight once a day. Thank goodness for my iPhone is all I can say.
The year I discovered fanfiction, I quickly wrote my own. It's not half-bad for a 12 year old child...but bad to transfer to the internet for the 18 year-old I am now. This year is going to be a big fanfiction year for me, as I am going to be posting so much, so fast, all so I can present my baby for the world to judge.
My life is going great, right?
Wrong! Now with this sudden Squeenix obssession, my mind is trying its damndest to escape its current track and set off on a Squeenix one. I've let it play a little bit, so I didn't explode, but now I'm finding myself forcing my fingers to type the thing I love most in the world! All because I want to unravel the mysteries that Squeenix games hold in their plots.
The love of my life(husband excluded) is fanfiction. It has also been my obssession. Now it's facing a new rival...actual plot that is cannon, versus the fannon ones we love so much.
I need some balance in my life, and thankfully, the KHE has given me that. It helps me focus on what's important while also giving my brain its healthy dose of Squeenix interaction. Even if we only have 4 active members, we will revive that union if it kills us!
Sorry for the rant, everyone. Needed to clear me head and this blog is convinently at my fingertips.
I love plot. Period.
Now I'm getting it from two sources.
Hopefully I'll be able to recreate it just as beautifully.
