Plotbunnies

I had imaginings while away, one that's been around for a little while, another that is newish (though I suspect it's a variation on older ones).

First of all, the old:

The House of §trange is weird.

I totally blame it's weirdness on the fact that this persona (Mimi Sardinia) started out as a Mary Sue (as is mentioned in my user info).

( As my alter ego defined it... )

This is the House, as it is, in what is currently my "bedtime fantasy" (something fluffy and chocked full of "happy thoughts" (i.e. sex) to help put me to sleep), and since I started imagining a few of my favourite FF7 characters there.

( But first I have to explain the chibis )

As for the new...

Well my Telepathy materia is a symptom of how fond I am of telepathy in general as a plotbunny.

( The general idea that turned out not to be general but instead a massive essay:  )

FF8

Bought and paid for. Now I just have to wait for it to get here.

Anyone know of any savegame editors for the PC version of FF8?

Ow.

I'm tired, I'm damn worried about facing the oncoming heat of full day, I have several chibi pictures to be scanned and there's still the heat issue to worry about with Fëanor, and I have 39 fucking emails in my inbox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Spam not included.)

Oh, and yes, I'm home.

I am really not up to going into a huge long post about everything I did, though I will say that I have a few words on a few points:

1st cousins once removed can be good motivators towards fanart.
So can the lack of internet.

Said lack of internet is also a good motivator to read.

I think I scraped up a better haul of not-quite-christmas-present books than I did christmas presents.

Car conversation on a 10-or-so-hour-long-trip tends to gravitate towards traffic, speed limits and speed cameras.

I wish we could afford air-con.

I am dosing myself with some heavy Nightwish therapy - having Wish I had An Angel as my ringtone has had it effects - I need to listen to the proper song, not a damn midi played on a mobile.

I am currently checking my account to see just how much money I managed to save in the end - if my rough estimate is right, I have the rent, my estimated amount for buying FF8, and enough to laybuy a special at Big W - on the proviso that it is a nation-wide deal (the catalogue was one in my aunt's mail) and that it isn't clearance.
Said Big W deal: A PS2+controller, some special type of controller extra (dual shock? I think?) and an 8MB memory stick - $234 or $239.

If I could grab that I'll have that done early.

I'm worried about Fëanor though, I want to scrape up the money to get it in to be seen to. I have damn phone bills though. XP

Oh well, I have to go hunt through the Telstra website, hunt through Ebay, clean out my email box and survive daylight now. Meh.
