Alright so, this is a blog entry! Today, I worked some hours in a place. I'm stressed about reaching my activation goal at work, but I'm confident that I can reach it in the two days I have left. I know I can do it! According to my friend, Juddy, I type really really well. I'm grateful for his compliment. Anyway, I might as well dispense with the formalities here and come clean. I'm inebriated. I'm not quite at the level where I'm completely coherent, but I'm certainly not as lucid as I would be under normal circumstances.

Of course, I've also broken my tradition again--I didn't update before midnight. But what does it matter, really? No one is reading these entries but me. The only purpose they serve is to further my own goals. I want to become a better writer and I want to become a better person. I feel this blog has helped me to do that--but I should probably attempt to stop adhering so slavishly to my rules. Is it really that necessary? On the other hand, I'd feel like I'm flaking if I didn't update just because I'm drinking with a friend tonight. It's a complicated issue.

I'm trying to be more social. I'm trying to open myself up. Tomorrow, I'm going to go to Bowling Green with my cousin and buy some new clothes. I want to dress nicely and feel better about myself. This is the beginning of a transformation for me, I hope. I want to be the kind of person I dreamed I could be. I can only hope that such a transformation is possible.

I've been playing Bayonetta 2, Breath of Fire II, and Final Fantasy XIV, but that much should be obvious from the previous content of this blog! I'm not sure why I'm repeating myself. I really like the SNES fan translation of Breath of Fire because it does away with what was by far my biggest gripe with the official North American localization of the game. It had a terrible translation--it was bad enough that it significantly hampered my enjoyment of the game. I really enjoyed the game's mechanics and probably would have finished the game the first time I played it--but I lost my save data and thus my motivation. This time I think I'll go the distance--especially since the translation is so much more polished than it was before.

FFXIV is down for maintenance today due to the upcoming ninja job. I'm sure it's going to be ridiculously awesome, but honestly, I should focus more on getting dragoon to level 50. I'm 47 now, so I can't have too much longer to go. I don't want to be just another face in the crowd--but I have to admit ninja sounds super cool. I'll probably try it out for just a few levels at the very least just to familiarize myself with the class/job's mechanics.

Bayonetta 2 continues to be tremendously entertaining--and in fact it's becoming quite challenging. I'm very satisfied with the game so far, but I must admit I've not made a lot of progress. I've got the next two days off--and despite the fact that I have plans for those next two days I'm sure I"ll still have time to play it.
