Court of Miracles- from Hunchback of Notre Dame
Hello again! Well, New years was fun, as was Christmas, but it's nice for the excitment to die down. However, it being New Years and all I came up with some resolutions! I won't list all of them, but one of the big ones I want to do is draw everyday, or at least every other. I need to practice on, well, everything! So I'm really going to try and get a lot more done by setting aside at least 20-30 minutes each day, homework or not. Hopefully this means more posting, however I've said similar things in many past journals with no effect, so no promises. I also might use this, or more time, for other littles fun things like video games (AKA Twilight Princess and FFXII)

Christmas was nice, and though we already celebrated most of it, I still got a few DVDs on Christmas, and gave me two Jack Skellington pens! Also, we got FFXII!!! Fun fun game! At first, I will admit, we hated it and we only continued playing cause we knew most Final Fantasies started out bad. I'm really happy we did because it has turned out to be awesome. I kind of miss the old fighting system, but the new isn't too bad. Also, Balthier ROCKS!!!! At first I thought he looked funny on the cover, but once he came in with Fran during the game he immediately became my favorite. However, I do love all the other characters too, even if Vaan is a little annoying at times And seems to have no point in the plot, at least not now.... Reks was really cool too, but he had to "die" in the first 5 minutes (I think that he'll come back, but that's just my opinion) We're not very far yet, so no spoilers please! Sadly though, we will probably not get much farther anytime soon due to certain problems. First the Playstation is acting funny and certain crucial buttons aren't working. Also my sister and I are both going back to school, limiting free time in which shes home when I don't have homework. Soooooo FFXII might become a summer game. D: At least I have Twilight Princess!

It is, so far, all that I imagined and more! Link is absolutely adorable/awesome in it, and his wolf form is so much fun! I've also grown to love Midna! I love how she can piss Link off so easily They're quite funny together! Beats Navi anytime. And Zelda is so pretty in the game! I have to admit, in Ocarina of Time I always thought she looked a bit...ugly giant forehead and all... But now she looks a lot better. Also, I love how the characters actually act like they are saying what they're saying, instead of their mouth just moving up and down all the time. The only thing I'm a little sad about is that they changed Link's voice. To me, it's way to deep now... Instead I think they should have taken a mix between this one and the old one. But this is a very minor thing, and actually the voice isn't that bad, but they could have done better. Other than that, the game is amazing!!!!!

Other stuff has happened, which I've failed to post here earlier... if you want to read about it, go here. otherwise it's basically:

Watched and loved Hunchback of Notre Dame, especially Clopin, the jester/gyspy
Got Disney Scene it, which roxs
They are actually making a Discworld Movie of Hogfather, which was my favorite book! It's already made, and was shown in Europe, however it might not come here. Hopefully it will!

Well, schools coming tomorrow which means I feel like shooting my brains out. But alas hopefully it won't be as busy :p None the less, I'll stop my blabbing now. (Yet again, way more that I was originally going to put in this) Hope everyone had a Great New Years, and had fun with whatever holiday you celebrated!
