Son of a submariner!

I'm officially obsessed with Final Fantasy again. Hopefully I'll be able to finally, FINALLY, beat a game from the series this summer. By the looks of it, I think it'll be VI. I've set the personal goal for myself to beat every single game in the series, well, the ones that matter anyway (that would be numbers one through nine). I still haven't decided whether I want to beat them in numerical order or not. Maybe I'll do that sometime in the far future, when I've beaten them each at least once. A marathon Final Fantasy run sounds kind of fun...considering I lack what some people call "a life."

Speaking of how bored I am, I finally discovered the mind-blowing concept of "lucid dreaming" today. I can't believe no one has told me that this exists! If you've been living under a rock (like I have), then I should let you know that lucid dreaming means you have the ability to control anything that happens in your dream! With practice, you'll be able to do anything you want like fly, talk with your own subconscious, or even live out weeks at a time in your sleep! Bottom line is: you will have more spare time to do anything you want.

Apparently, the first step to harnessing this ability is to remember your dreams. Sadly, this is something that I can never do. So...starting tonight, I'm keeping a journal of my dreams. This is assuming that I can remember them long enough to actually write them down. It's recommended to tape record yourself, but I don't want my mom to think I'm crazy. I probably sound really crazy right now, but I mostly want to see if this actually works. Scientists have proven this concept and people on the internet say they can do it, so why not? They're never wrong!

Even if I can't have lucid dreams, at least I'll be able to have a journal of my dreams. I really want to be able to remember the dreams that I have. Whenever I think back to an event, sometimes I can't even remember if what happened was a dream or reality. Hopefully I'll be able to keep an accurate account of what goes on in my subconscious mind.


I really need a big roll of duct tape. I would tell you why, but it's a secret! But I CAN tell you that I am kind of planning a video that I want to make. I've also come up with a couple of rules for myself, too.

Rule 1: I have to do all filming, editing, and planning by myself.
Rule 2: I can't use a tripod (mostly because I don't have one. Heck, I don't even know if my camera will fit on one).

I enjoy setting limitations for myself, because I like the challenge...either that or I'm a masochist. It also forces me to be a little more creative in how I go about things. This will be my first attempt at filming an actual video, ever. Doing it by myself will be good, I think, because I can learn from my own mistakes. So yeah, this project is pretty much a big test. It'll test: how well I can operate without other people telling me what to do, whether my new editing software works, and what the video quality of my camera looks like. So don't expect it to be an amazing video, since it's really just a test video.

Luckily, I've got myself a couple of tiny notebooks to write down ideas (and maybe dreams?) in. The best part is that they fit in my back pocket! Now that I think about it...I have a feeling that I'll break them if I sit down. Darn...that's how I broke my library card.

Oh man, there's a long story behind this picture. I'll just say that it was very difficult to achieve the angle that I needed. I had to use everything in my pockets, including my DS and a lobster bib.

P.S. I reread my post, and I realize that I make a ton of mistakes. I fixed most of them in this one, but I probably say a lot of things in other posts that make zero sense.
