The unspoken hero of Team Sugoi PSO...
While I'm looking at my journal... I do have to say... I didn't include him, but Levi of course is the reason we're really playing PSO in the first place. *laughs* I was only casually looking at PSO:BB when I showed it to him. He got into the game, and thus got me back into it, and led to Mint playing it...

I don't mention him enough since I mostly play with Mint, but of course, he's a bad ass part of Team Sugoi too... regardless of what I may say later on... *laughs* Chalk that up to my ego. *laughs*

So much to do, so much to say....
Heh, soooo....

Last night, I got myself a worm skull to hang up on my bunk! Er... I mean, my ace Ranger partner Mint and I took down the worm last night in the underground waterways of Ragol! Stayed up way too darn late, but boy was it worth it! Heheheh, tonight we'll most likely move on to the mines! Our team is pretty darn sugoi! Our skills as a Force and Ranger compliment each other, mainly sticking to range, and using my magic to blow back anything that gets too damn close. As said, we're pretty darn sugoi! *laughs*

Gosh, not too much else to report. Need to get a bit more sleep. Uh, gonna write up an RPG for Tommy and bunch, and uh... yeah! I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but meh... about to go back down to Ragol, and a little out of it... so yeah!

Something very important I must tell you all...
After much thinking, I have decided that Tolarin Skylar could so kick Hatake Kakashi's ass! I mean, it's Tolarin! And Kakashi's well... Kakashi.

Now, if he were Maito Gai... then Tolarin might have some trouble... but since he's not in the Spring time of his youth... yeah, Tolarin could so kick Kakashi's ass!

That is all!

Fortune favors the bold!
Heh, I decided it was time for a midi change, something a bit more uplifting! The theme is one of my favorite video game pieces... thought it was appropriate for my journal. It was this or a certain treasure hunter's theme...

Heh, I might change the avatar a bit later on tonight. I'm trying to think of something cool. Don't expect too much more, as I really don't believe in making the page graphic intensive. First of all, I know I personally find it annoying when I have to highlight text becuase of annoying backgrounds. *laughs* No offense to people who like their backgrounds... it is your journal of course!

Heh, I had a lot of fun last night! We all headed out to Main Event, farted around, played some DDR, then headed to Le Fun, played a whole crap load of DDR, and I'm actually slowly but surely getting better at the game. I want to be l337... one day, I will truly pwn people at the game... it won't just be my legendary skills in the King of Fighters.

Well, off to see if I can't catch any time on PSO. *laughs* Ja ne!

Eh... not really sure what I can say to update this. I've hung out with folks, had some fun, had some bummer moments... y'know, the usual works.

I've been writing a Robotech short story for Jonathan Switzer's Robotech Emmisaries. It's been a long time since I've been able to write a Robotech story. It's sort of a noir-style dark gritty Robotech story. Kinda has inklings of some of Aftermath's feel to it. (Without the quirkier parts of Aftermath.)

I wish I had more to say, but ya know... I guess that's really it. Life is just kinda going on. *laughs and shrugs* I'm just kinda playing along, following the path, seeing what all happens next. Working every day, going out if I can, and going from there....

Meanwhile...
It continues to come to my attention that apparently, I look better in clothes that are not baggy. I really need to look at improving my wardrobe, I guess.

My hair cut is being recieved pretty good too... so I guess I can't complain too much.

My only problem is, I don't have too much of a fashion sense... *laughs* At all...

I'm so lazy, so lazy, so very, very, lazy!
Man, I'm so lazy... I go to bed about what... 3, and get up at noon. *laughs* It doesn't help that I'm not really giving my body time to rest from everything I'm doing. Not that I mind to much, it means I get to do stuff.

It's been a really good weekend for me. *laughs* Thursday night's adventure, pwning the Ramen song, and the fun that ensued. This girl beat me in Virtual On. She was using the Fei-Yen. It's always the Fei-Yen. It's my weakness.

Friday, I went out with Peter, Jason, and Rory. We played Laser Tag, I pwned them, getting 4th through our rounds. There was a girl on my team that did better then me. Who was it? The same damn girl that pwned me in Virtual On. Oi... *laughs*

So we returned, and beat each other around in Naruto 3 for a while.

Last night, Mint, Levi, and I went to the mall. I got the latest volume of XXXholic and KoF: Maximum Impact. Max Impact ain't a bad game. It's not the best KoF, but for people who've never played KoF, and trying to appeal to a new audience... it's a good game. Horrible dub, but it plays very KoF-like. I gotta get the timing and priority down a bit.

We then headed out to meet up with Mark and go to Le Fun. Eh, the Ramen song did more of a job pwning us then we did pwning it. However, I'm starting to notice that I'm getting better and better at both Pump and DDR. I'll be the Hard Working Genius of DDR!

Speaking of Hard Working Geniuses, I've decided I'm gonna cosplay Rock Lee. I've wanted to before... either him or Gai... but now I've firmly decided that I am. It'll be totally awesome. *laughs*

I dunno if it'll be at Oni or Ushi. I think we're planning to shoot for Oni. *laughs* So I'll be doing Rock Lee and Shuichi at Oni.

If all goes to plans and I go to AFest, I'll probally do Sasuke and maybe Van.

And for Ushi... we'll see. Depends on what other folks are planing to do.

And I think that's about it for today's update. Tolarin here, over and out!
