Chastity
As soon as I found the most douchetastical haricut in the Dragon Age character creator, I knew the male romance option would have it.

I'd be willing to bet it'll be another series of therapy sessions, too. That's my professional life-- no need to recreate it in a magical world of fantasy, thanks.

Worst thing is, I'll still play through it. And I'll inevitably end up pulling my hair out over some hot secondary character whose bones the game will refuse to let me digitally jump while none-too-subtley nudging me toward the passive agressive head case.

My superfantastic list of characters I think would have been more fun to romance than the real options and why under the cut:

Ze cut! )
 


So, buddies, what are your favorite romances that shoulda coulda been? 
25th-Sep-2009 09:20 pm - I am buying my first house...
Chastity
So I'm perched on a thin line between excited and exhausted. What a ton of work! After a day of working, then dealing with inspections, loan officers, and assorted house hootenany, I fall into bed only to lay awake thinking about what colors I'm going to paint the fireplace room. Sleep? Whassat?

Just for fun my air conditioner is broken for the fourth time this summer. Once again my landlords are dragging ass getting it fixed (and, being Tucson, it's still well over 90 degrees in the house.) They'll probably find a way to charge us for repairs, too. God, I'll sure miss renting.

Quick update on my life in general:

Good:
House!
New Katamari game coming out. Drooooool.
Making Halloween costumes rules. Hope I have time to finish.
Enjoying my new job as intake coordinator for an outpatient addiction therapy center.

Bad:
Landlords. Grrrr. Hell kinda name is "landlord" anyway? I suggest "TinyWangedCondoTyrants."
Defective ladyparts. Considering making my uterus into a tea cozy.
One of my hermie krebs died in a bad molt. <:( Poor Pirate. Rhubarb died a few months ago, once again leaving little Biscuit all alone.

Weird:
I was infected with a southern drawl all day. Couldn't turn it off even when speaking to clients. What gives? I only slept with a close relative once, and that was under the influence of mind altering substances so it hardly counts. *
Someone called yesterday to ask us what our phone number was. ...?
My underwear is on inside out.

*Kidding. I was totally sober.

I'm playing Batman: Arkham Asylum. Whoever designed the Scarecrow's costume forgot to give Professor Crane a shirt.

...

I'm so fucking down for that.
17th-Jun-2009 12:28 am - Robot apron time!
Chastity
Yaay I'm so excited! I finally finished my robot homemaker apron. It's the first clothing(esque) item I've made from a pattern I created freehand. Part hand sewn, part machine sewn on my mom's 70 year old sewing machine that breaks the thread every 2 centimeters. With button and ruffle details. I don't know what my hangup on kitchen stuff is lately, but hey.

Beep beep boop )

RRRARH I F*(#)$ING LOVE ROBOTS SO MUCH!

31st-May-2009 02:00 am - Onigiri
Chastity
A little while back I decided to try my hand at stuffed rice balls-onigiri. Of course I also had to try cutting out little seaweed faces for them. They were filled with caribbean jerk chicken. That's extra jerk sauce swirled around on the plate and extra chicken chunks in the middle. :D

Mmmm... )
