In the meantime, here's what's happened in the past few weeks: Easter holidays started... sister came down from uni and we've spent every night playing L4D2 with Dad. Fun♥ Easter itself wasn't particularly exciting, started playing DC Universe Online and got a whole heap of Lindt chocolate (which, really, I shouldn't have gotten because I'd feel horrible after every piece).
Then I'd found out I missed handing in an essay by three days... it took me another two days to finish my other assignment for a separate class before I could start my essay. By the time I handed that in my Business Course classes had started again and the essay was six days and 22 hours late. Σ( ̄ロ ̄lll) ガビーン
On a more positive note, I got to talk to Kつん again! It'd been so long since I last spoke to him cause he'd been busy with graduation and organising further classes and stuff, so yeah. He's so completely useless with computers (and technology in general), it's annoying and adorable at the same time. But anyway, he told me about his trip to Spain and his near-death experience (because Spain drives on the opposite side of the road to both Japan and Australia) which worried me more than it should have considering he was still alive to talk to me, but still lol
I've bought a shit-ton more tea♥ and I'm now a VIP member at the game centre in Newy which Sちゃん helped me sort out. Got to catch up with my uncle and aunt as well as their kids too. Also, my folks got a new car. Woo, it's all pretty and clean♥ I need to hurry up and get better at driving so I can get my Ps and drive it already~~
These past few weeks, I've watched: Community, and Hannibal
Okay, Community... wtf are you doing? Sometimes you're alright and I love you and other times I want to punch you in the face. Make up your mind on characterisation, gdi! Grah, I almost just want to never watch this show again ever.
Hannibal, on the other hand... where have you been all my life?! It's all so pretty... sometimes. Other times not so much. I can't wait to see how the rest of the season goes. I love it so much so far~~♥
Recently, I've played: Resident Evil 6, Left 4 Dead 2, and Bioshock
Sister keeps laughing at me because I'm too scared to walk into rooms when playing Bioshock. But it's totes scary, u gaiz. Well, not really, you can hear basically everything after all... but I still get wary about entering rooms lol I just want Infinite to go on sale already~~yes, I know it's only just come out and I haven't even finished the first two but still~~~
Okay, L4D2 rant about my sister. Oh dear. Sister has a habit of being a perfectionist when it comes to L4D2. She wants everything done a certain way, but the issue is she won't tell you anything. I've gotten used to that, whatever. We manage... and I get a bit annoyed, but we manage. Sometimes she's less of a bum about it and other times she's not, but when she starts doing shit she'd get pissy at everyone else for doing that's just grah.
So, today, we were on a local server as per usual, but for some reason two of her friends decided to join (the first one left in five minutes because of lag so the second one replaced him). I wish the second one had left as well, because ugh, I'm not fond of playing with randoms... it's a bit of a mix of 'why are you doing this you fucking idiot?' and 'ohgod I'm going to make a fool out of myself just don't talk fuck' and shaking. So I'm internally freaking out the entire game... ugh, way to help in not dying, huh? Then again, I'm the same on forums, jfc, I lurk for so long and everyone would seem nice, but I'd still be shaking and writing and rewriting my intro post for an hour. Every post after that would still have a deliberation/write/re-write time of twenty minutes. I'm not even RPing anymore, why is this so hard?! (´Д⊂グスン
... Anyway! Sister and her friend are acting like idiots and just setting everything off and, yes, I know the aim of the game is to have fun, but constantly repeating the same chapter in a campaign is not fun. It's aggravating! Sister has shot people dead in-game for much, much less than what she did today. Grah! So, I quit after the fifth try of the same chapter... and take at least some pride in knowing that they died much quicker without me the next time(I asked Dad who had been playing too) lol
I think I've spent probably enough time on games at the moment, so I'll ramble about RE6 some other time♥

Date: 2013-04-13 02:12 pm (UTC)This is exactly my relationship with Glee.
She wants everything done a certain way, but the issue is she won't tell you anything. I've gotten used to that, whatever. We manage... and I get a bit annoyed, but we manage. Sometimes she's less of a bum about it and other times she's not, but when she starts doing shit she'd get pissy at everyone else for doing that's just grah.
This is my whole family. It's so unbelievably irritating.

Date: 2013-04-13 02:21 pm (UTC)It's so annoying "o(▼皿▼メ;)o" She's gotten the tiniest bit better in that she'll use the mic for some stuff in-game, but 90% of the time she'll just expect things done in ways she's never mentioned. Her response when called on it: "Well, you never asked." Grah!
But damn, your entire family being like that... that sucks ヨチヨチ( *´д)/(´д`、)アゥゥ I get angry enough when it's just my sister. What's your family like when called on it?

Date: 2013-04-14 09:29 pm (UTC)EXACTLY. The answer to your question is Ryan Murphy, of course. I can't quit the show because I love the cast so much. They do the best with what they've been given, the poor things. But yes, characterisation is just ridiculous and nonsensical.
"Well, you never asked."
Oh my God, I seriously had to make myself calm down after reading this because it pushed all my buttons. There's a term for that kind of thing but I'm blanking on what it is. The only one that comes to mind is 'emotional manipulation', which is kind of correct but not specific enough. At any rate, it is a form of mind games. But I'm sure your sister is nice in many ways, so I don't want to sound like I'm attacking her. It's good that she's made a change but it must be so incredibly frustrating for you. All you want to know is what's going on, you're not asking her to reveal her deepest secrets or anything.
As for my family, well, I live halfway across the world for a reason. I have zero contact with my sibling and like it that way. They got married recently and I wasn't invited, although that was a relief because then I didn't have to say no. My parents aren't horrible people, but they are traumatised people who didn't get the help they needed when they were younger and now refuse to get it because they're so set in their ways. In response to your question, my family absolutely cannot handle any kind of criticism. My dad gives you the silent treatment or yells, and my mum yells, cries or makes excuses (or all three). And they'll both talk about how I'm ungrateful for everything they've done for me (which is so far from the truth). Basically, they want everyone else to change but if I suggest that they have to change, oh boy. You'd think I told them they should sacrifice kittens to Satan or something.
LOL I definitely have issues with my family. I don't hate them and they're not bad people, they just exhaust me and I cannot deal with them anymore. And that was probably much more than you wanted to know!

Date: 2013-04-15 12:29 pm (UTC)It was very difficult to live with them. My parents absolutely did a lot of good things for me and the reason I'm independent, a feminist and don't tolerate disrespectful treatment is because of them. When I think about some of my friends and the kind of childhoods they had, I'm definitely grateful for what I have. It was still a stifling and tense environment in many ways, though, and I simply don't have the energy to deal with them anymore.
