Hey, how are you? I'm so, so sorry for not replying in so long.. I haven't been playing anything worth of noting on here and I've been so busy this summer vacation. I didn't have a lot of school this year and I was home alone a lot so I really wanted to go crazy this summer. xD I went to Switzerland and to London on a city trip. I had a lot of fun ( and even kind of met someone ) but I didn't play any games because of it. What did you do this summer?

We've really got some catching up to do! I don't even remember what we were talking about anymore, to be honest. Have you played anything worth mentioning? And how is RF4 going? I thought Arthur was so funny with his collection of glasses. xD I used my 3 save slots all for different guys, but only got married in one save. Those random events can be so annoying if you don't get the one you want.

Maybe they only released the New 3DS XL in the US because they think all Americans are giants? All XL versions do sell better though, I think. But I personally like the smaller versions because it's easier to take with you, and I'm pretty small myself too so I think it fits better.

I haven't played Pokémon Black/White (2) much. I just finished the league and immediately put it away after, so I have no idea how that movie thing works. I remember loving the Pokéathlon in HeartGold/SoulSilver. Those mini games were fun to play with others. xD

I really, really want to play Inquisition. I just don't have any money right now because of the vacations and it's not really a game you can find for cheap, even if it's second hand.

I'm going for a minor procedure (so minor it can't even be called a surgery) this coming Tuesday and I hope (if they give me anything since it is rather minor) they give me the right dosage since that sounds kind of scary.

Yeah, it was him. He wanted a male heir so bad and the Catholic church would not give him a divorce/annulment (since his wife at the time was a sister to current Spanish King, who had a lot of pressure on the Vatican at the time), so he went and made himself the head and gave himself a divorce. He went through like 7 marriages, it was kind of bad. xD; I heard it was a thing at other schools, but mine never did it for whatever reason. :/ Speaking of food, that's another thing of mine. I love trying different regional kitchens. It's so much fun. I've tried some Indian, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese so far, but I'm always trying to expand. The Vietnamese was actually homemade too cause my mom's co-worker is Vietnamese and she cooks me stuff from time to time since I liked her cooking so much. Of course I'm not counting the super obvious English and Italian kitchens. Why is eating so much fun~?

I'm not sure. I just know we used the same kind of garlands/tinsel that you'd put on a christmas tree. We just swerved it around the fake pine tree thing we also put on the railing. I always called it garlands. My family does a lot of decorations too, but not enough for it to be overbearing...yet! But we'll get there. My mom keeps buying more and more year by year.

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't stand on my feet when working, but yeah, when you're on your feet, you need the best shoes or else your feet will kill.

Anemia is rough. I thankfully just have to deal with my blood pressure being too low sometimes and usually some caffiene will do the trick. It's only when I get a really heavy period and the atmospheric pressure is really low too that it interfers with my functioning and I actually start to feel incredibily sleepy/weak (and even hear ringing in my ears) and even caffiene won't help at that point.

Winter is definitely misunderstood and everyone always goes, "I hate the snow and winter" and it makes me so sad because I love snow. Plus having four seasons and more variety is cool and I wouldn't trade it off ever.

They probably do since the actual structure of DNA is consistent across all living things. It's the actual code that's different. But I don't know enough to say that can be carried over with certainty since I've only done 1 class in university in genetics and then I switched my major. The only thing I can think of is the actual RNA code that is transcribed from the DNA code has a unique section which creates enzymes that delete "excess" strains. Perhaps this section of the code is unique to dogs but not humans? Or unique to specific areas that become problems for dogs but not humans? But again, this is all guess work on my part using the limited knowledge I have on genetics.

Yeah that sounds about right since Nyx "gave birth" to a lot of "negative" things from what I recall. Likewise death and sleep are often associated together, for obvious reasons.

Funny thing is, I don't mind Android/mobile games, most are pretty decent for a free game with paid add-on, but something about the Facebook games was just extra boring. I guess because the majority you just picked an option and that was it. Whereas mobile games often do have some form of gameplay.

Thankfully the sadistic controlling type seems to be contained within certain subsections of manga (and otoge). I don't particularly like the loner with an attitude when he's a romantic option or a love interest, but at least he's decent when compared to the sadistic control freak. I don't get the appeal. I'd love more badass female, but also more well rounded female characters. They don't need to be all super strong with no flaws or totally flawed with no redeeming qualities, so in-between would be nice, especially closer to the middle and more balanced! Yeah, Hugh's personality is pretty balanced, he has flaws but he also has self respect, confidence, and inner strength. That's pretty much what I want. He's vulnerable but that vulnerability isn't what's focused on, it's how he deals with it. That's mainly my problem, often writers don't know how to do vulnerability. It's either there is none, or the character is wallowing in vulnerability to the point of being unrealistic and annoying. I'm also a big sucker for the friend becomes lover set up, which is why I fell so hard for the May/Brendan ship.

Oh funny, my cousins were also the ones that taught me all the tricks. It was actually their game and N64 on which I originally played it. They let me borrow it one March Break and I finished it. I've been wanting to re-play it for awhile now, so when my brother asked for an N64, I went out and got Snap for it. I don't know why Nintendo never made a sequel. Pokemon was and is pretty popular. Did the Snap games bomb or something (compared to other Pokemon spin-off games)? Still I will be here pining for one until I die.

I can understand the censorship since certain networks are more stringent about what can get animated/showed on their network. Pretty sure most of the main shounen shows don't show any blood/wounds in the anime for that reason, whereas the manga/source material can be quite bloody.

Attack on Titan is also the only anime my brother actually likes and he hates anime in general. I keep trying to get him to give more stuff a chance, but a lot of his friends make fun of anime, so he's really set against it and it's hard for me to get him to give anything a fair chance.
Yeah, volume 1 just got released here recently as well. I read it all online before as well. I'll have to start picking it up. I'm so behind in manga purchases.

I do get it, but it's not me at all. I'm pretty much all about casual comfy down-to-earth clothes. I may dress up from time to time if I feel like putting some extra effort though. I do admit I am probably more masculine than I am feminine though, but ultimately I don't really have much of an attachment to either "gender". In fact, I don't really get how certain things are coded one gender but not the other. It seems really arbitrary to me, but this may be because like I said, I don't really feel a strong attachment to either one. There will be days where I feel more strongly associated with traits from one than the other, but that association seems more something I've internalized from society segregating them, than from me actually feeling more manly versus womanly. I always feel that I am a women even the times where I'm dressing very boy-ish. So I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't get gender in terms of traits and preferences. I do get it in terms of feeling one gender versus another. I do hate how "feminine" traits and preferences are often looked down on, so I'm with you on wanting more feminine ladies being awesome, competent, and/or kicking ass.
