If I ever sease to be surprised by the world, I reserve the right to dress up as a dog and get the vet to put me down.

I think a lot about things. Especially at night, when I'm trying desperately to get to sleep before midnight so I get to have more then 7 hours sleep. Usually these trains of thought are severed before they can keep my mind running in rings for hours on end.
Sometimes they're not.
Recently, I've been thingking about my original character Angel (By original, I mean 'first of any signifigance'). Especially what makes her tick, and how a chick like Angel ends up with a guy like Jared. Don't get me wrong- They deserve each other.
Even before I started animalising her personality, Angels been very attracted to powerful people- Leaders, people in charge, the kind of people who command respect. I know for a fact that, when she was younger, she cad a crush on the BBL (No, you're not ment to know who that is. Equate with a 'king of thieves' crossed with a 'respectable man in charge' figure.) But, due to her inate tendancy to revert to a 'little sister' steriotype, that never went anywhere. Then she gets together with an evil bastard who is fully capable of telling people what to do and being obeyed. Who already has someone he thinks of as a little sister, thereby sparing Angel the position.
Why is this even worthy of mention? Because I'm the exact opposite. I'm extremly intimidated by most guys, and a lot of girls too. The kind of people I like are non-threatening, usually a bit underdoggish, dorks and/or goofs and, for reasons I'm not equiped to fathom, have black or near black hair. The last part is the bit that really stumps me- I can search for justifications for everything else.
So how did Angel end up so different? Except for the dark hair bit... Am I acting out on some general desire? Or am I just a dork? The latter seems more likely. When Angel was created, I was proud of how little she was like me, because I saw myself as being pretty pathetic. Now we're not so different, and I'm still pathetic. What a cruel twist.

On another subject, I managed to thouroughly ammuse myself with a speil I did about Books. I shuold havce written it down. A girl, once extremly popular, suddenly has all her friends turn away. So she turns to books. But then she becomes addicted to books, and can't function in normal society. Eventually she realises this addiction, and acts out by going on a library-burning spree. It's a horror story for the 'avid reader'. sadly, the story ends with the girl becoming addicted to the internet. A condition I fully understand, as I'm thoroughly addicted. I can't stand the idea of being off the net! And I certianly don't want to break this addiction ::shudder::

No no, it's not an 'addiction' it's a 'habbit'. Yeah, that's it...

I learnt something interesting yesterday, which relates somewhat to my last post. You may notice I blab on about Cupido. It inspired me to look around for stuff about her, and I discovered something I'd never known before. Cupido and Sho, the two people mentioned, actually ended up having a kid. Which just goes to show you can learn something new every day. I was surprised, but that's one of the interesting things about the series. And about fighting games in general.
Alot of them have some sort of storyline driving them. It gives the games a purpose, so it's not just mindless headbashing. Which is it's essence, but it's bad marketing. I'm often extremly interested in these stories- if they're played out well they can lead to some very interesting ideas. Hell, even the classic 'Mortal Combat' had a driving story line. And they haven't let it get in the way of sequal after sequal... Actually, to be honnest, I'm rather fond of the '3D fighter' genre. Even some of the old 2D titles. Don't ask me why, they just tickle my Like nerve.

Haven't I harped on enough for one night? Tomorrow, A billet from a Japanese high school will be staying with us for 10 days. It's amasing how having people from another country over can not only make you more Australian, but makes people take a greater interest in the culture of the place. Mum want's to take us to a Japanese resteraunt, which will be so cool. It's one thing to eat sushi from a box in front of KFC, another to be in the atmosphere.
To bad I'm not big on fish.

Later all
