DYNAMIC ENTRY!!!!!!! (it's an awesome pun, get it! ^_____^)
We watched this video on Anger Management in CALM which claimed that if you know what makes you angry, you know how to, y'know, prevent it.
That's totally not true. I know EXACTLY why I get mad when I lose. I can sit down and totally analyze it inside and out. It doesn't make things any better when I do lose. I can't think of anything more embarassing- which is unfortunate, because I am quite aware that when I DO lose I go absolutely, fucking nuts. Seriously, I realize this. I'm totally not proud of it, which is usually why I end up getting more upset.
But considering what it is that CAUSES me to hate losing, it's probably something that will get better once I get out of High School. Hopefully. Well, it's something I want to work on, at least because man... however much anyone ELSE hates seeing me get worked up about losing, I hate it more than you. I totally garuntee that.
Needless to say I lost big today. It's disgusting, because it's something I could have won but didn't for totally valid reasons. Ahaha, I suck at being adaptable, end of story. What's sad is that even though I figure I'm totally over it (because, hello, this is something COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to the rest of my life), but I'm still sitting here thinking: "Wow, look at those 20 hit combos. Why can't I ever do stuff like that when it matters?"
Answer: becuase it doesn't matter. Seriously, kids. It doesn't.
So what am I trying to say? Well- I am really much more mature inside my head than I behave. I'd like my thoughts to correlate with my actions. I would be a much more tolerable person if they did.
MISSION STATEMENT: I am going to lighten up. I'm having a New Year's Resolution in, uh, June. TO NOT GET MAD WHEN I LOSE. I'm nearly done High School so it should be irrelevant these days. My obsession with winning has a lot to do with me trying to prove stuff to the world because of the issues school has given me. With no school, I've got nothing to prove?
Right?
Right?
Stuff like this always works in theory.
Ahaha, that's probably closest to an apology that anyone I've ever flipped out on while losing will ever get.Sorry for my, uh, bitchyness o___O.
With my Neji-like drama out of the way, on to more exciting things! ^__^
Oh God, I don't think Tim, Dawn and I have done anything for the past week (excluding yesterday) except play this stupid game. Not only is it fun, but it's addictive from a fandom point of view. And it's not like it's a mediocre fighting game- the mechanics are actually AWESOME. Seriously. Every single character fights differently except for a few (Gai and Lee are similar, Anko and Orochimaru as well and Mizuki and Iruka are identical), so you really have to work to master different characters.
There was a whole crapload of other stuff that I wanted to write here, but I kinda trailed off laughing my ass off at the random crap Dawn was coming up concerning GAI AND LEE! AVENGERS OF JUSTICE AND LOVE!
Seriously- Dawn and Tim are just sitting here distracting me playing tag-team survival mode with Lee and Gai and coming up with dumb stories for why they're fighting the people they're fighting.
So, instead of telling you all about the awesome missions in this game, and the clever things that happen in battle, I am instead going to rant about:
GAI'S SPECIAL!
There is nothing in the entire UNIVERSE that wins over GAI'S SPECIAL! He knocks his opponent down and then HUGS THEM WITH A FIRERY PASSION AGAINST A SUNSET BACKGROUND! I think that Tim has probably used it at least a HUNDRED times tonight, but it seriously never gets old- the LOOK each character gets on their face as Gai approaches them, raw intent in his eyes!
And as funny as it is to see everyone get hugged by Gai, I swear that attack was MADE to be used on Neji and Kakashi. The disgust those two have when Gai walks towards them. *dies*
AND MIZUKI IS OBVIOUSLY HOMOPHOBIC BECAUSE HE ALWAYS DODGES GAI'S HUG!
Who cares about Mizuki anyways. I can't even figure out what the HELL he is doing in this game. o__O
And Haku looked sad because he wasn't getting hugged by Zabuza.And Zabuza was soooo jealous because he didn't get a hug period.
Tim: "I'll make it all better Zabuza." *hug*
And of all things, Tim accidently hugged Kankuro's puppet while both Kankuro and Temari were gang-raping poor Dawn. I'm sure the puppet, uh, appreciated it.
So, yeah. Naruto fighting games are way to much fun. So much fun that Dawn and I have resolved to spend, like, our ENTIRE summer writing really stupid Team Gai drabbles. Because, uh, my unconditional love of Team Gai has really rubbed off on poor Dawn and Tim. ^____^
My ramblings are just getting more rambly and incoherent.
MY POINT: THIS GAME IS SO MUCH FUN IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!
Also, BONUS BATTLE!
Sakura and Ino vs Gai and Lee!!
"Ewww! Your love is too gross for our... passionate... Sasuke obsession!"
"The only love is the passion of youth!"
And on the bus the other day, Adam was attempting to argue that Itachi and Kisame were SOOO a slash pairing, while Dawn sat there and denied it for all she was worth.
I mean, WTF? Really. Talk about ironic juxtaposition.
OH YEAH!: Annnnd, Wendy bought me a super-awesome FMA posted when she was at Anime North. It's all dramatic and growly and kick-assey. ^____^ I'm so happy. Wendy's so nice and thoughtful to do that for me considering she doesn't really know me that well. Whee.
