Avernus

*whines* Do I have to blog? Do I? Can't I just carry on playing Final Fantasy VIII until my eyeballs dry up and fall out?

....damnit.

So, for those who haven't met me over the last couple of days and who maybe don't read Katy's blog, I have been inducted into the world of Final Fantasy. And lo, it was good. I haven't played any form of computer game in....oooh, five years or so? And the last one was Discworld, so not exactly of the Final Fantasy idiom. But I've read so many FF slash fics, I thought I really ought to actually try playing the damn game some time, so I 'persuaded' Katy to let me play on her copy of Final Fantasy VIII.

All right, so I also had something of an ulterior motive. *deep breath* My name is Jane, and I have an unhealthy obsession with Laguna Loire. *hangs head in shame*

I've had an unhealthy obsession with Laguna since first seeing his picture, or maybe from first reading a Final Fantasy fanfic. The obsession was cemented by actually reading a few of his lines from the game, which made me go 'awwwww, *bless*!' in an embarrassing manner. And now I've played the game a little, I can firmly and categorically say that I love Laguna Loire more than one should love a little man made of polygons.

I just wish I could work out why. I mean, he's a bumbling, sometimes moronic, talkative, clutzy, semi-useless (though admittedly pretty) little manho, and bumbling moronic manhos are not usually my style. But I adore the way that he's the only FFVIII character who *doesn't* think he's the cat's pyjamas. He has quiet little angst but he doesn't let it get to him, he's sweet and chirpy and so damned *nice*. *happy sigh*

And he's the bishiest character in the game too. :D

So....yeah. Too much time playing FFVIII and not enough writing Pindar essays is going to make me very unhappy come my tute on Tuesday, and I have more lectures than I could have believed possible, but I have my Laguna-neko, so I am Happy for the day.

Mmf. Choir rehearsal. *pouts* Wanna play with bishies...

(Oh yes. Got back to Oxford, seen my lovely darling friends again *glomps all*, had much, much fun, and got spangly new stealth mp3 player ^_^ Ruth, my angel, I'm sorry I didn't get your beta-ing done before I left. The chapter was really nice, *incredibly* cute, and I can forgive Zechs his tearful uke-ness on grounds of illness ^^ I promise I'll do a detailed beta soon!)
