Oh god I hate how I can't sleep when I have night shifts....
*bangs head against desk*
Though, to be fair, killing the thresher maw in Grunt's rite of passage quest is not exactly relaxing! *makes finger quotes*
Damn you ME2 for being so addictive!!!
Ok so, it only took what? 2 weeks? But I finished ME again with my renegade Sheploo.
I am not in luff with him like I am with Enayla, but he came through in the end.
It was sooooo hard to be a renegade! He only JUST ended up being one, and only because I started being a right arsehole right at the end.
Team Shep ended up being Wrex and Tali, they just worked so well together ^^
I ended up at level 49. Grrr *shakes fist*
I saved Kaidan (again... I just can't kill him, even if I can't romance him as m!Shep. Besides I like to think they had a bit of a bromance happening!) and killed Ashley off, coz she REALLY bugged me this time around. Like, REALLY really.
LI was Liara, let's see how that one works out.
Shepard ended up being a bit of a rough guy, with a caring heart that he buried deep underneath a selfish, devil may care exterior.
Not sure as yet if I will write him. But anyhoo, here he is :)
I bought a new MP3 player recently, and I just picked it up yesterday afternoon on my way to work, and unpacked it last night when I got home. It's sheer awesomeness meant it couldn't be sold retail in Australia. Yeah baby! It's so sexy, I luff it. ^^
Now I just have to figure out how it works... *facepalm*

" Itz Great Iznt it!!!" Reminds me of my entertainment center, I recently got an upgrade, and it took me 2 hours to install it, talk about alot of shit hooked up in to one gargantuan center, it workz though!!! Although, If I ever move, it'll take me forever to rehook up agian...
Exactly! One reason I have put off buying a new stereo/tv system for ever...
I am totally starting to not like shift work. I've had 2 stretches of five days on, with only 1 day inbetween. Which wouldn't be too bad except the the first 5 day stretch ended with a late shift, and the next 5 day stretch started with an early shift. So technically it was only 18 hours inbetween, and I spent most of that time asleep. Bah. My actual "weekend" starts after today's shift ends. Once again I think I'll be spending most of that in bed.
My immune system has packed up and departed about 2 weeks ago now. I'm constantly tired. I don't eat properly. I have no social life (well, I never did have a social life, but it's even less of one now), and I just plain don't care about things like housework any more.
I do not know why people choose to do this to themselves for years on end. The money is not THAT good!!!
...having said that, it is a lot of money...
And my new MP3 player that is too cool to be sold retail here is waiting for me at the post office :D
Children, Broadripple is burning,
And the girls are getting sick
Off huffing glue up in the bathroom
While your boyfriends pick up chicks.
And darling I'm lost.
I heard you whisper
That night in fountain square.
The trash filled streets
Made me wish we were headed home.
There was love inside the basement,
Where that woman used to lie
In a sleeping bag we shared
Upon the floor almost every night.
And darling I'm drunk.
Everything that I have loved is turned to stone.
So pack your bag and come back home.
And I'm wasted.
You can taste it.
Don't look at me that way.
'cause I've been hanging from a rope.
I will haunt you like a ghost.
If my woman was a fire,
She'd burn out before I wake.
And be replaced by pints of whiskey,
Cigarettes, and outer space.
If somebody moves,
Everything you thought you had
Will go to shit.
We've got a lot. Don't ever forget that.
And I wrote this on an airplane,
Where the people looked like eggs.
And when a woman that you love is gone,
She was bombing east Japan.
And don't fucking move.
Because everything you thought
You have will go to shit.
We've got a lot. Don't you dare forget that.
And I'm wasted.
You can taste it.
Don't look at me that way.
'cause I'll be hanging from a rope.
I will haunt you like a ghost.
I don't wanna walk to work today. It's raining! Waaaah!
Also, having only one day off between 2 5 day long blocks is NOT SUFFICIENT! *frowns*
Also (again), I restarted ME with vanilla John Shepard and am trying to make him a renegade. It's not as much fun this time around, though. For one thing, John's voice acting sucks. Seriously. It's also hard to be an out and out selfish arsehole. I'm ending up being half paragon/half renegade. And, well, just plainly my Shepard will always be Enayla, not John. It's weird. *shrugs*

Work sucks for me too. Let's run away, k?? :)
Can I come too?
We can all go!
I should have gone. Today sucked. Blah!
They changed the recipe for Starburst Babies. They're not the same at all now. And WTF is this blue one? Srsly?
I am a sad panda.

I really can't understand why the candy crafters can't just. leave. the. stuff. alone. They were perfectly good the way they were.
I still won't forgive M&M-Mars for the blue M&Ms.
That shit ain't natural.
Well, just finished ME2.
Oh.
Em.
Gee.
I'm on such a hyper right now... the ending was awesome!
For example, where you take over Joker for a bit when the Collectors attack was great! I totally love his and EDI's dialogue there!
And that bit where you jump through the air from the platform and only JUST make it to the Normandy had me biting my nails!
I lost one crew member - Legion - who got a headshot while closing the doors. I tried with Tali too, but she died also. I replayed coz I'd rather have Legion die than Tali :P I am not sure why anyone died, I mustn't have upgraded something. *shrugs*
I exploded the Collector base and pissed off Cerebrus. Woo!
I ended up at level 26 (boo) and with a full paragon counter.
Now I'm free to roam the galaxy in my new ship with the rest of my team and wait for ME3 to come out!
I'm also exceedingly proud of the fact that I held myself out for Kaiden. It was hard. Both Garrus' and Thane's voices are damn sexy!
Here's my Commander Shepard in all her awesomeness!
Sigh. I'm gonna miss you for the next year and a half til ME3 comes out. Sadface.
Now to start from the beginning again - with a renegade! ^^
Well, maybe in a couple of days... I need to recover.
Mass Effect 2 is now underway. It was good to see my old Commander Shepard again, she imported beautifully. As to involvement - I'll admit I had tears when the Normandy died. Am yet to meet Kaiden though. We'll see how I react to that...

I have yet to play the second one. My brother owns the first on his X-box.
You should totally play it. The controls are different and slightly harder to get a hang of, but the graphics are OMG and you get a larger range of a team to play with. I think the story's longer too.
I finished Mass Effect in the wee hours of this morning. It proved more addictive than I had originally thought. And while I was not as enmeshed in my character, I did groan out loud when the kiss got interrupted, and cheered when she and Kaidan finally got it on, and I did cry a bit when I thought she had died when bits of Sovereign smashed into her.
And so, here is my Paragon Commander Enayla Shepard:
There were a bunch of missions I missed completing, because I did things out of order and then went straight to Ilos after lockdown. So she's only level 45 or so, I think. Ah well.
I'm planning on doing another run through with John Shepard as a Renegade, soon. However not sure if I will do a Dragon Age and just keep playing it again and again...
Oh and the end credits music? I loved it! Here tis for your listening pleasure:
So I bought Mass Effect the other day. And yeah, it's really good too. LOL. As addictive as Dragon Age, only with the fun of swooping around the galaxy in my own space ship. NB: swooping in this instance is definitely not bad.
Well played, Bioware, well played.
I'm up to the part of the game where I have to make a decision between 2 possible love interests - alien female or human male (I'm playing as human female). I chose human male over exotic alien female. I guess that's just really what I'm looking for - my own Alistair or Kaiden or Anders.
Or to go back to earlier Bioware games, my own Valen.
Sigh.
Also, I am writing a new DA fic. It's kinda epic though. I wrote the end first, and it made me cry. So now I'm at the beginning, and writing the beginning when I know the end, makes me cry too. So as a consequence, I haven't written all that much at all. I get far too attached to my Ali and Lissa...
If oblivion is all there is when we die,
If nothing happens other than
Suffering ends, or
An evil life was snuffed out, or
A boring life is at last over,
I think that's a wonderful alternative
To Heaven and Hell,
And I'd choose oblivion

I have a giant sword named "Oblivion" So, I'll just keep on reaping havoc...
A sword named Oblivion? That's just fabulous! And very apt, as well!
