We daydream alone, forgetting the one place we call home.

I've gotten obsessed with fanfics recently.
I'm not proud of it, but I'll be damned to deny that some of them are effing brilliant!
If only they didn't have so much sex in them. It's like an episode of Rome!
I'm leaning more toward ME ones at the moment, what with me finally having finished it!
Some people can make game characters so bloody cute!

I have to admit, I'm at a loss with what to do with myself now that I don't get to shoot aliens in the face anymore. I'm tempted to start a new game, if only to get the 6 achievements I'm lacking to have it 100% completed but I fear that if I load that game up on the Xbox once more my boyfriend will actually banish me from his house.
I did play it quite a lot!

I tried a numerous amount of games yesterday/the day before (I'm not entirely sure what day it was/what day it is right now) in an attempt to redirect my attention away from the fact that I have another 10 months to wait for the next installment to the Shepard trilogy!

I attempted to kid myself into thinking I was man enough to handle Dead Space 2. 10 minutes is a record for me. I loathe games that make me jump! I'm rubbish at shooting, I'll admit that (not so bad at 3rd person for some reason though) but couple it up with constantly being on edge at the fact that something was going to pop round the rest corner and skewer me and I amounted to a shivering mess of failure.
So that got turned off and put back into the cupboard.

Next came Silent Hill: Homecoming. I realise that it isn't much better, but there's the whole 'lack of having to aim at anything' going for it so I figured it'd be less nerve-wracking.

Wrong.

If anything it was worse. It was darker than DS, weirder and involved a large amount of Bubblehead Nurses. I didn't have to aim, but the radio started to crackle and I was near tears with fear.
Back in the cupboard for that too.

At this point, Viva Pinata was looking like the safest option! But no! In swooped Splatter House (it didn't actually swoop, I noticed that it was on the window ledge under some books that I'd been reading the day before) and I was saved from dire boredom! It's a pretty good mind numbing game. You get to kill things with their own severed arms (you actually get to use your own severed arm at one point) but without it turning the game into the awful 'Horror' genre that I can't stand!

Only 11 days until Shadows of the Damned comes out and I can throw myself into another game and generally deprive myself of sleep again.
Bring it on!


Also, I've just noticed there's a moth flying round my room. I'm going to have to go cry now as I try and reduce it to a smear on the wall with the heaviest book I can lay my hands on!
Dirty insecty bastard!
