whitereflection1. Why the hell am I still up? The world may never know.
2. Up was *awesooooooome*. I am so, so kicking myself for not having seen it in the theater, because it must have been just utterly amazing like that. But ohman, I know the DVD was Anj/Gina/Kelly's birthday gift to James, but this was like my perfect movie. Bittersweet, while so adorable and happy, funny, moving, weird, freaky, gorgeous, meaningful, bizarre, and just utterly cute. ♥ And such heart, personality, and soul to the characters--not to mention, egads, writers that can actually get 'kid' personality right? Gasp :o Not to mention animal. X3 I think "I do not like the cone of shame" is going to remain stuck in my head for a very long time. ♥
3. James' DnD game today (yesterday?), and at one point the old Champions system got brought up and I was hit with the most massive nostalgia for it. I miss superhero games, and I miss that game system--you could do anything with it, not just heroes stuff. College gaming *was* Champions in our group, and I wish I wasn't the only one who misses getting to tinker with it. : / I liked the feel of the mechanics.
4. WoW has added a Thanksgivingesque holiday to the game, which naturally features: the cooking and eating of themed foods, costuming, bonking other players with food items, a gadget that turns rogues into turkeys, slaying masses of wild turkey critters (sadly not the rogues), and yes, of course, an achievement based around going to the opposing faction's capitals to sit at their special holiday table so gankers can kill people just trying to complete their holiday meta-achievements. Blizzard never learns. >_< But I want the turkey pet, sooo.... Oh, and...it's the fifth anniversary of the retail release of WoW today. 5 years (plus some including the time I spent in that open beta before it all). Criminy. Looking back in the archives, all the names I picked that day were Naruto-based -___- Oh, self. *facepalm* And oh self, how you sort of haven't changed, except for the fandom.
5. http://longsufferingly.livejournal.com/70506.html This is the most awesome ficlet/coda/crack/wtf-ery ever for 5x08. How the beans did I not see it until tonight. Had me laughing 'til my eyes bled, or at least until it was hard to breathe, or something. I sort of have a jr.highschool crush on that author's sense of humor (i.e. I sort of want to take it to the dance and hold its hand, but mostly just stare across the room creepily at it during class).
6. Seriously, why the hell am I still up.

Back then, I really respected (most) grand marshals and high warlords--the incredible amount of time and skill it took. 100+ hours a week *does not surprise me at all*. Was just mindblowing how a person would have to do PVP and nothing but that (including real life things :x ). And the politicking that would go on for it as well, at least on Alleria where I'd originally played. There we had at least one character who was played by an apartmentful of college roommates, damned near 24 hours a day, and that used to cause a lot of arguing. I must admit, I don't like the arena system they have now--I think those old honor ladder ranks were better, despite the horrid amount of time they required. : /
