Lately, I've had a lot on my mind, I guess.
My life is pretty blah, you know?

This is going to be one of those posts where I just spill my guts about way too much.

As everyone knows by now, I work as a translator and programmer for Rockin' Android, Inc.
I'm in a happy relationship with a French-Canadian girl named Holy.
I spend most of my time... working or with my inner circle.

But how did I even get here? My life really has been a mess when I think about it.

( Now I'm going to end up talking about my life for ages. )

I live a very lonely life now.
I wish Holy lived here, so I could actually take her places.
I want to get out. I want to LIVE.

Still, looking back... There's some things I want to say to people.
People who mostly will never read this anyway, but I still want to.
It is in a chronological order of meeting people, more or less.

( This part is really long. )

And before anyone asks, no, this isn't any sort of goodbye post.
I'm staying right here and living my life... even if it's a bit lonely.

So, Crescent Pale Mist came out on the US and EU PSNs yesterday and today respectively.
I know it's only been a day, but look at this.



Seriously?
Oh well, I'm sure it'll pick up.

Mood: amused

Well, life's going on.
There isn't much to say about things right now.
I'm tired of dealing with my drunk uncle here at home.
Holy and I just played through Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals for a second time and loved it.

Let's see... Work is going slowly, but it's going.
Something's brewing right now that I'm really excited about, but I can't tell anyone yet.
Well, I guess a few different things, are, really, then again.

Things are... pretty quiet right now.
They've just settled into how they are for a while I guess.
Well, it's better than the alternative, that's for sure...

Mood: calm

It seems like I never REALLY post on this anymore.
I think it's time I changed that, and started posting regularly again.
To start with, how about a post about me and how my life is right now?

My name's Sara. I'm 23 years old. My birthday's April 24th.
I live in a small town in West Virginia, Beckley.
I don't have many offline friends these days, but the ones I do have, I care a lot about.


Currently, I work for a company called Rockin' Android, Inc.
We localize Japanese doujinsoft, or indie games if you will.
As both a translator and a programmer, I try to do everything I can to help things along.
My first project was the SUGURI Perfect Edition DVD-ROM release.
These days, though, we even have some PS3 games released on the PlayStation Store.
I'm very proud of my work, and it's one of the most fulfilling parts of my life right now.

My other hobbies are gaming and tinkering with software to see how it works.
I also like to roleplay, but it's been a long time since I got a real opportunity to.
I used to play MMORPGs but these days I pretty much can't stay focused on one for long.
I play FPS games now and then though, especially the likes of Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2.


I've administrated a couple of different kinds of online communities in the past.
I made a lot of friends and a lot of enemies in those times.
Over the years, I've had a lot of very close friends, really.
There's still a lot of people I miss dearly.
There's also people who are still "there", but are so far away now, at the same time.
Life will be what it is, though. People move on, and they rarely come back.

In the past couple of years, I've grown a lot as a person, I think.
I used to have a lot of problems, and I'm sure I still have a lot to work on.
Still, I've overcome so much and been able to move on in life pretty well.
I do get kinda lonely sometimes, though. I really do miss my old friends.
I have only a small few close friends at any given time, these days.
To those few who have dared to call me "best friend" in the past: Thank you.

In my spare time, I work on little RPGs and similar in RPG Maker.
It's not exactly something I'm great at, but it's just something I do.
Currently, I've got two active projects, although they're coming along a bit slowly.
All right. I may as well talk about them so you know what I've been up to there, huh?


Star Sword Chronicle is a game that is, loosely...
Well, about me and how I've viewed the people in my life over the years.
It was never meant to be publicly released, but I ended up letting it out anyway.
The beginning is really contrived and stupid, but it actually gets pretty okay after that.
The game so far is about 4 to 6 hours long depending on how you play, I think.
Although incomplete, anyone can play by downloading it, and it is distributed via patcher.
I can't see why many people would want to play it, but it contains a lot of emotion.
Some of the people from my life appear in the game but are shown in fairly unrealistic ways.
It's more about how I've viewed things from the inside over the past several years.
With a totally fictional scenario mixed in to facilitate an RPG story, of course.


Legendary Sword Faltwen is a turn-based strategy game.
Development on Faltwen has been slow, but the results should be great.
The game has a custom turn-based combat system that is fairly simple but still thorough.
It will have multiple paths through the story and fairly challenging gameplay.
This game is not yet available for download, but things are going pretty well overall.
SSC has priority, but Faltwen is still getting some work here and there, really.
Once SSC is done, which could well be sometime next year, Faltwen will take center stage.

Other than these games, I honestly don't do that much on my own anymore.
I've always messed around with RPG making, though.
I might put my older ones up on my site soon.
My job always has priority over hobby projects like these, though, of course.

I'm in a relationship with a nice girl named Holy.
She's a really nice person, and easy to get along with, but...
She needs to believe in herself more, that's all.
I don't have many close friends, so most of my free time is just spent with her.

Sometimes, I'd like to get out more and do things, but lack of RL friends kinda limits that.
Everyone's got their own lives, and that's fine with me, really.

Hmm... I guess that's it for now.
But I want to post more regularly from now on, so here's hoping I can keep to that.

Mood: relaxed

Oreo passed away too... I can't take this...
Why did she have to... She never deserved...
After she lost all of her kittens... Ugh...

Pictures of Oreo... 1/2/3/4
