Two days of rehearsal, and then I graduate from high school. I thought I'd cry at the Goodbye assembly, but...yeah. Huh.

Instead, I kind of want to break into song.

This is. Going to be. So good. Racism be damned.

I have almost BECOME Tally, so often am I on her account. Also apped Slade because we had a mid-Apprentice Robin and she opportunity was too damn good to pass up.

ANYWAY. In the shithole as far as academics. Am getting...a little bit scared. Not VERY scared, because things always turn out good for me. I don't deserve it in the least because I am a lazy skank, but it just...does. So a little fear is healthy, in my case.

Got my old computer up and running. Fantastic! I get all my music back that I couldn't transfer! And because it has no Internet, I just play Spider Solitaire nonstop while listening to Dropkick Murphys. Fun times.

Oh, and I have Drammatica back. That was one of the things that didn't make it to this comp. I missed it so much, especially since I. You know. Lost my iPod.

Eighteenth birthday came and went. Received a metric assload of roses from Sarah and a digital camera from the parents. That'll come in handy for Greece. We ate at Claim Jumper and it was delicious. We're going back for prom dinner. More calamari! :D

I reread some World Refs stuff. It stuck with me, as it usually does. Chii's final entry made me question Final Mix, and I wondered whether I still wanted to be a part of it. Then I saw what I wrote, all the way back in November.

Anyway, I've got that usual bubbly happy feeling in my heart just thinking about this. This was the most fun I ever had on the internet. Every free write in my Creative Writing journal is about World Refugees. (Someday I'll scan them and post them in my journal, hee.) I joined/made WRchat every day. Whenever I felt down, I'd think about Cake Day or Luvdisc or fighting Behemoths in the Maw and I'd remember why I love everything.

This game taught me to love the whole world, to the point where in the end, I wished to be the whole world.

I'm not letting any of you guys go. You're all staying on my AIM buddy list, under the World Refugees group, and WRchat will continue; I'll make sure of it. I love you guys so much and will miss the hell out of this game.

I didn't really live up to this, did I? I...god, I miss what World Refugees used to be, when it kept me riveted and interested, when I cared about tagging and talking and...

This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, wasn't it? Nothing like this is ever going to happen again: not the Wake, not Final Mix, and certainly not anything in real life.

I do miss the hell out of this game. I really do. And it hurts.


I don't feel like functioning right now.

It took me...let's see, three and a half months to beat Larxene?

Now I'm done. Now I get to kick some ass with Riku. But seriously, Marluxia, why so weak? I can't believe I beat his Lord of the Castle incarnation in one shot.

You know what cracked me up? Axel saying, "Come here. I'll make it all stop!" when reloading his cards. Axel, dear, that only makes sense in context with Roxas's story. Nice try, though.

Oh, and protip: Cake is eaten sparingly for a reason.

Spur-of-the-moment thing, but oh man am I so going back next year. And pre-registering. That line was three and a half hours long. Perhaps I will cosplay.

Attended a voice-acting panel, hosted by Wendy Powell and Leah Clark. Very informative.

Arrived with a hundred and forty dollars. Left with five and some loose change. Bought:
A Coraline messenger bag
Seven WEWY pins (Player Pin, O-Pin, Ice Blow, Murasame, D.I.Y., Black Sky White Bolt, and Rhyme)
One KH pin (Nobody symbol)
An Everafter poster
A WEWY shirt (black, Player Pin symbol)

I mistakenly got the WEWY shirt in a medium, thinking they were average sizes. Silly me, I forgot I was at an anime convention, where the average attendee was a sweaty, overweight, pocky-nomming otaku. So I basically bought an extra-large. Whatever, I'll wash it on hot.
