Interferons!

I don't know why I made that the title. If you know what those are then kudos to you. And no, looking it up doesn't count.

I really need to make a clear, concise list of things I should do in order and strictly follow them. There's school stuff and then outside school stuff. Ugh. I need to straighten out all these tangled cords in life.

Have any of you played Final Fantasy IX? That game is so fun and yet remarkably easy. I've gotten so far in such a short amount of time. I think that game must have been made for beginners or something. But the story is so enjoyable. Some old critics complained about the story, but I think it's far from cliche.

Here are elements I consider cliche in any RPG:

1 - Evil empire with uprising rebellion
2 - Nameless evil that was only mentioned as a cute passing backstory throughout the game but then *gasp* guess what? That nameless evil turns out to be the one behind everything and was banished and is now trying to break free!
3 - Main character was the victim of evil experiments that he/she can't remember.
4 - Chosen ones/sacred lineages

Final Fantasy IX twists them here and there though. Tales of the Abyss is another odd, unique RPG. But the terminology is so fucking confusing.

"We must obtain the Fon fon hyperressonance of Fon Master Fon Man Fonstone while resonating a fon effect on the Fonstone--"

The player is left as confused as Luke, the main character, who suffers amnesia after being kidnapped, and so his parents locked him in his room for years. So he has no idea about how the world works, which really reflects on how the player has no fucking clue why everything is preceded by the word "fon." The story itself is interesting. A little confusing but reading Luke's journals straighten things up if you're ever lost on what's going on.

I don't feel like writing the whole "Blah blah blah of the Day" thing because I've got lots of studying to do for Immunology.

After Wednesday, there are things I have/want to do right away. And I'm more so writing this for myself as a checklist to strictly follow.

1. Create Secrets of the Scene: Raiders of the Lost Ark Pt. 3
2. Write up the script for my first radio show episode (after I harangue the managers about why it's taking so long for my show to start)
3. Perform miraculous acts of cooking (yay, more experience points!)
4. Start drafting first episode of sitcom-like series for youtube
5. All while reviving my writing

I was going to perform this unofficial experiment on people who stuttered, but that failed because there was a lack of significant patients. I want to think of something else to experiment on, unofficially.

The sitcom idea I had is awkwardly dying, but I'm pushing it in another direction. It won't be some grand, comical set of characters like most shows out there, but it'll still be fun. I don't know, after school started some of my friends just didn't express any interest in it at all, despite how much we talked about it over the summer. Bummer.


And for the record, Final Fantasy XII is completely unbearable. I hate that game. It's one of those games I pretend never happened. They've yet to make Final Fantasy XII.

Once upon a time. . .

. . . in Drew University, I was typing a blog while my roommate capped some gangsters in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

I have concluded, as well as he, that playing GTA is the equivalent to doing nothing. And yet it's strangely appealing. I sometimes stare at the game as he plays. I inexplicably become drawn into its idiocy, kind of like reality television. But the entire game - the series even - is no different than fapping off.

I thought doing this was more appealing to me than the gay Tweety bird crap and stuff like that. Whenever I'm having writer's block, need a break from studying, or just don't know what to do in the gap between when I finish working and when I have to go to bed - I figured I'd blog.

 I'm studying Biology with an Archaeology minor. So far everything's been pretty smooth. Actually really smooth. It's like a really good sequel to a movie. No, it's like Ocean's Thirteen, and last year was Ocean's Twelve. Last year was pretty good, but this year was the year that last year should have been. . . yeah. . . try to wrap around that.

Let's see what's awesome so far:

-Don't have classes Mondays
-Applied for a radio show at my school (I'm hoping but confident it'll be accepted)
-Awesome room with an awesome view
-On my way brainstorming for a sitcom-ish series to add to my youtube account (LOOK FOR ME: search for ScottyMcGeester on youtube!)
-Predicting an awesome run academics-wise

What's NOT awesome

-Still in a slump with my writing, and then suddenly I see one of my old school friends publishing a book. I gotta step up my game. Then again I'm also juggling this scientist side of me by studying biology
-Been meaning to start a Sci-Fi/Fantasy Club but my moderator mysteriously stopped messaging me and now I have to track him down
-The showers in the bathroom at this residence hall are really awkward. They're these cramped spaces that make you feel like you're in some capsule on a space station

Doing this actually is like an exercise for my motivation. I suddenly feel like writing my story again. I have lots to post about past experiences/current experience/experiences I've yet to. . . er. . .experience. Such as fun college stories.

I'm also part of this club called NSE (New Social Engine) at my school. We're sponsoring a Capture the Flag game this Friday. Gonna be awesome.

By the way, look up my youtube.
