All nighters and ... stuff... yep, incoherency starting.

So I'm more or less finished with Rosalia's sheet [Edit: Fixed this link] -- the non-Abyssal version, anyway. It took SO LONG, though the majority of it was writing her Legends and her harp artifact. I actually love the harp. :D But mechanically, it was hard to figure out rules for. This is one of those moments is where freeform would be better. =_=

Other parts of the sheet I really like: Rosalia's servants, and the bio I wrote for her. :O The Hearthstone is nice -- but I like my idea for her second Hearthstone (which unlike the Stone of Springtime will be from an Underworld Manse) even better.

I pulled an all-nighter to finish all I wrote. Nekira said she loved the sheet, though, and didn't have any immediate issues with it. So, I'm happy.

Passive-aggressiveness

Meanwhile, I've been looking at this amusing link: Passive Aggressive Notes. I got it off my friend's list (Tallulah, in fact, posted it. :D) More or less it's a site about those people who can't deal with problems face-to-face, so instead leave little aggressive notes to whoever they are aggrieved with.

I can be passive-aggressive at times, too. I think. 'Cause at times I've written posts in which I vent about some situation or person that's bothered me. At least I try not to reveal who the person's identity is, though -- I'm actually *not* writing it for them to see it and respond. Just... writing, I guess. Expressing myself as best I can without actually making it too personal.

Of course, as I've mentioned before, the vague approach can make people paranoid. :x I don't think anyone's *ever* guessed right about who I'm actually writing about.

I'd like to aspire to not be passive-aggressive at ALL, though. It's embarrassing to read some of those notes on the site. x.x A lot of times those people could've saved face just by talking to whoever they have a dispute with personally, instead of fuming ineffectually. Me, I'm at the most risk for such behavior when I'm deeply hurt or upset and just want the opportunity to rant about it somewhere that at least FEELS public, even if there's hardly any traffic and no one answers. There must be some better and more constructive way to let out that stress and anger, though. I'll just have to figure it out. :P

Phantasy Star Universe

Other than charsheets and random links, all I really did today was play PSU. :O No Clark 'cause he was at a convention, though, and Jim was gone too. So it was mostly just me and Jon, running True Darkness S over and over. We're Blackbull hunting, and it sucks. D: We've not found a single one for weeks and weeks and weeks (Blackbull being the 10* S rifle. Jon needs a lot of S rifles for when he switches to Gunmaster.) My sis joined us later -- incidentally, around when human female chars got 3* luck -- but STILL no Blackbull synth board.

But we got yet another [B] Halarod. D'gah!

Rambo

Oh, and Jon and I also watched Rambo III. We've been watching all the Rambo movies, actually, 'cause we're interested in watching the fourth one that recently came out (and will be on DVD in May I believe). I was surprised by the fact that they really... aren't quite what I remembered them to be. Sure there's a lot of violence and Rambo = American underdog/hero!!!1 but I didn't even remember there being serious themes in there relating to current events at the time. Or that Rambo himself was actually wanting to give up on warmongering, more than once in his movie-life.

Rambo III in particular wins the irony points for being so sympathetic towards Afghanistan, though. Heh, times change. Jon told me that Hideo Kojima drew a lot of influence for the Metal Gear series from Rambo, and now that I've actually rewatched the first three movies, I can TOTALLY see it. *boggles* I mean, it's not even just thematically similar -- Roy Campbell is the spitting image of Col. Trautman in Rambo. And Snake has some similar features too, at least the hair length and the bandanna thing.

In the end, it's not a bad comparison to live up to, at least in my opinion. Like, not the best movies EVAR, but... they're not the campy war-movies I had the impression of before now.

Sleep

Mrrgh. I'm really damned tired right now. Why I'm up, I'm not sure. I just keep staying up even though my head is pounding and my eyes are hurting. I told Kalli I think I feel gloomy. I do, kinda. Though I don't really know how to say why. So I'll just try and wobble towards bed now. ^^;
