Hey guys!
So, a couple things have been going on lately, and I figured I'd just go ahead and give a quick rundown.
So, a couple things have been going on lately, and I figured I'd just go ahead and give a quick rundown.
- I turned 16 last Tuesday! Because of this, I've moved up a division in the SCA youth combat program. Those of you who are familiar with youth combat know that I am now in Dragon division and you know what that entails. Those who don't know, I'll explain: Basically, I go from wrapping rattan in a pool noodle and hitting people with it, to NOT wrapping rattan in a pool noodle and hitting people with it.
- Yesterday was my first day in the new division. This resulted in a particularly nasty bruise on my left side right above my hip, a lighter one on my left forearm and a few on my rear from what's known as an "ass-wrap" (that one hurt like hell). The craziest thing though is that the bruises on my butt are not NEARLY as bad as the one on my side, but my butt hurt the most! Where is the logic in this.
- Two weeks ago, I went into a mental hospital for five and a half days for depression. They put me on anti-anxiety/depression meds and it seems to be working fairly well.
That's all I can really think of, well, bye.

Ok, this might sound weird...
Know what? I'm tired of caring about that, here goes.
From now on, please refer to me using masculine pronouns. No questions would be appreciated, and I honestly don't feel like I owe anyone any explanation.
So, yeah, thanks and have a good day.

What Up?

Hey guys! Been a while huh?
Well, nothing much has been going on here, just got quite a few personal things ironed out and our Indoor Percussion season just ended about 2 weeks ago.
As far as any new writings going on, I have a few things in progress, but may take a little bit to get anything up.
Anyway, just wanted to make sure you guys know I'm not gone forever. Hit me up if you wanna chat, like always!

Tomb Raider

Hey guys! I'm not dead, just so you know. Haven't posted anything in forever.
Anyway, I just finished the new Tomb Raider last night, and all I can really say is wow. It's AMAZING!! The graphics are beautiful, the voice acting is powerful and charged with emotion (Camilla Luddington as Lara Croft did an exceptional job), and the story was interesting enough to hold interest for the several hours that it runs over.
**********The following may contain spoilers for the 2013 Tomb Raider. Or maybe it won't. I'm not sure yet, but it most likely will, so read at your own discretion.**********
I gotta tell y'all, after I finished it, it felt like a sort of void opened up in my heart. The thing I had devoted my whole week to, nearly cried several tears over, and whose characters I forged an emotional connection with, was over. It hurt. Honest to God, I feel like I'm in emotional turmoil. There were several times when I dang near burst into tears because of what Lara went through and how she is so forcefully changed into the hardened survivor we all know and love. I've never wanted to hug someone so much in my life.
One of the things I want to congratulate Square Enix on is how easy they made it to transpose myself into Lara. Throughout the game, I didn't really feel like it was Lara who made the promise to Sam or who watched Roth, Alex and Grim die or who told Sam to look at her as she went through the fire ritual or who carried her down the mountain at the end. I was the one who was there. It was I who made the promise, I was the one Roth, Alex and Grim sacrificed themselves for, I was the one who tried to comfort Sam as she thought she was gonna burn alive and I was the one who cradled her in my arms as I carried her down the mountain.
Also, Ms. Luddington (voice of Lara Croft) especially did an absolutely amazing job. She put so much emotion into it that her voice alone drove me to the edge of tears. In the radio tower when she had to go through the wall with all those pipes and one shot steam out as she walked through it and when she cauterized the wound on her side with an arrow in the helicopter were two examples. Almost rivals The Last of Us on the emotional level to tell the truth.
I highly recommend this game, but keep a tissue box near you as you play.
P.S. On the question of Lara and Sam being "involved", I leave you with this...
