hope is the thing with feathers

I was all geared up to talk about The Game Awards, but now I'm mostly meh. I don't have anything new or exciting to say about it. Like with the actual awards? I'm not one of the cynics. I don't think E33 should have won fewer awards. It's just that good.

As for the announcements, I'm most excited about Exodus and the KOTOR follow-up, Fate of the Old Republic. Which I know won't be around for a few more years, since it was more of an announcement for hiring and funding use (and to get us RPG fans fired up wayyy ahead of time). Not at all impressed with the 'big reveal' they saved until last. A live-service hero shooter? THAT'S your biggest announcement? Yeah, fuck that.

I haven't yet played the new 'Thank You' DLC for E33 yet since I um. Started a new game? I can't help myself! Also hoping to play Dispatch soon. And I picked up Control from PS+.

I have about 2k of my epilogue/sequel to my FTH fic and I really hope I can finish it in time for the FTH deadline. If I don't, my recipient has already said it's okay but still. I was HOPING.

The new antidepressant is still working well! The only thing against it is the joint pain. I've got a pretty bad elbow out of it. But I'm used to pain so I'll take that if it means less to no depression.

I'm working hard on my new project. I've got six thousand words so far, with many more to come. This is FUN.

So I beat FFXIII and I'm working on the side quests, which are INFINITELY harder than the end boss. I've gotten stuck on one part I can't seem to get past, so I'm taking a break from it. It's such a fun game, though. Really awesome. I love it.

I possibly have a date on Wednesday! I'm not exactly way way interested in the guy, but I really want to go out with someone.

Did you see the new pictures of MCR? I'm sure you have if you're in bandom. All I have to say about them is that I love Gerard no matter what he's doing with his hair. I might even love him more.
