I am currently watching Interview with a Vampire. This movie could kick Twilight's ass. THIS is what a vampire story is about. Which begs the question, what makes vampires soo attractive? I believe why I like them is the internal struggle of good and evil. Life and death. I've always enjoyed the game of the minds which I believe a vampire's life consists of. A psychological game.
Twilight just... It's not even close to that. Yea, it consists of drama but its a wolf falling in love with a sheep. It's not natural, almost perverted. If vampires were a natural, that is. xD
Its the same with werewolves and but different at the same. Vampires are the wolves in sheep's clothing. While werewolves were the wolves themselves.
I enjoy a great psychological story. Ones involving dual identities, and deeply guarded secrets keep that lovey-dovey drama out of my stories. Vampires are about seduction, not about love. Its the difference that is so drastic, that Stephenie Meyer missed the connection. I did watch the movie and the only Vampire I liked was the guy they killed at the end. HE was a vampire.
Well, I had a well versed explanation about were wolves and vampires but my browser almost crashed and now I lost my train of thought. That last paragraph above this one shows it. It was going to end that Interview with a Vampire has inspired me for an original story. About Vampires, and werewolves and the battle of Heaven and Hell.

TF2 Halloween update... Valve, I am Disappoint.
So the TF2 halloween update finally came yesterday. Yea, yesterday. It's 11:18 at the current moment of me writing this. Awesome costumes they made for the Mercs. Nice remake of the map Viaduct, now called Eyeaduct. And a new Halloween boss. Monocleus. Or something like that. Its wrong I know, but I'm going to call him Mono. Because he's one giant Eye ball. Actually, it's Demoman's eye which is explained in a comic, which is also pretty neat.
But I am disappointed with how they distributed the Costumes. Via the gift drops that was a pain in the ass last year. And we needed only 9 that time. This time, we need 3 pieces for 9 classes. It sucks. I have 1 Sniper, 1 Heavy and 2 Spy so far. And I am also disappointed that the boss is once again a Demoman type boss. I mean, come on. I'm tired of Reading about Demo or Solly in the comics. Share some of that damn limelight with the rest of the classes!
^ Inner fan girl for Medic and Sniper. Sorry.
I kinda like the Gibus again. Angry that they changed it again, but what the hell. It's kinda growing on me. Angry that the hats from last year aren't in the store. Just because I traded my Skull last year and I want it back. They have a new one for this year. Has some neat Styles, but its not the one I want. And a giant Eye hat. No Idea what it does other then move like an eye when you look around. I mean, the HHH Head from last year at least provided immunity from HHH's 'Boo!' cry. And also a seal mask. No idea what that's about other then that it matches the mask that the little Steam Mascot wears.
Bah, I can't believe I was disappointed this year. Hopefully, they come up with something different regarding the gifts. What I did like about the gift thing is that the server needs to be registered in order to get access to the gift server and if too many people complain about it, then they get booted. That was a smart move on Valve's part. But they're still griefers up the whazoo. They prefer to kill other players and constantly grabbed the gifts even after they have them.
The only thing that bothers me about the server registrations is that once the bad servers get kicked off, the only good ones are always packed. And those who want the entire set *coughmecough* can't get in. I mean, I was able to play on the KK server earlier and that's how I got the two Spy costumes, but that's it. And I got those off of pure luck. One was dead center of the CP, everyone was running away from it. And the second was right below me with three other players looking away from it. One guy even ran thought it.
I guess that's enough about the Disapointaween update.
Random thought is random: Plushies I ordered off DA are being worked on. Yay! Can't wait to see them.

Birthday today
Happy birthday to me. Its my 22 today, and I'm going to celebrate with some dinner with my family. Haven't been writing too much because its all kinda turning to garbage at the moment. So I'm taking a slight break. BUT I do have another TF2 Halloween story to write up.
Muahahahaha!
Sorry about that. Halloween, it gets to you. I personally think it would be an awesome Halloween story. Maybe not as good as my Demoman v Silas Mann story, but it will be awesome. Because Valve hasn't updated TF2 yet with the new Halloween items, Its inspired by the Spine-chilling Skull.
Oooh. I almost spilled the beans. How mad I would be if someone stole my idea before I finished it. Grr. Anyway, currently making it and hopefully I will have it finished before Halloween.
Oh and quite a few people like my Interrogation Story I wrote up and posted on DA. That makes me feel special. :) Too bad it's not my personal favorite, probably because my fave is way WAY shorter then it. Oh well. Fraud is still my personal favorite. And Interrogation also was submitted into two DA groups. I personally didn't put them in there, but for them to get in, they needed my acceptance. So technically, I did put them in there. Each group has a lot of people in it so it got good coverage. The groups are #MedicFTW and #1SniperFans. Makes perfect sense because Medic is interrogating Sniper. >:D
Oh, and my Medic and Sniper plushies are being worked on! :D I just checked up on MasterPlanner's journal and she's 60% done with one. Ooh, I wonder which one it is? *jumps up and down excitedly*

Fan-girl-ism is NOT an official Title
So, my notebook is gone forever. I haven't seen hide nor hair of it since it flew off my jeep. So sad. But I have been playing my PS2 recently because my internet has been acting up. Cutting out, going out. And I played DarkWatch again and finished it. Forgot how good that game was. Too bad it didn't get a sequel. They just needed to tweak the story a bit and it would have been awesome. The story was kinda all over the place. I mean, You start off as a human. You get bit by the Lord of Vampires turning you into one and you then hunt him down after you join the group DarkWatch.
By the time you join the group, your halfway through the game and you don't really hunt down Lazarus(Vamp lord) until the very end. I could see where they had the right idea, but they weren't able to flesh it out well enough.
Hmmm. Just looked up High Moon Studios. They're still alive and kicking. DarkWatch was their debut title so it must have done better then I thought. It probably did as when I played DarkWatch, I was just starting to get into video games.
Ooh! I just found the music for DarkWatch. Must download now! Multitasking is awesome. I might just have to ask them if they will come out with another DarkWatch. I doubt it, but you never know...
Anyway, as I was trying to say, that I was writing a short little fan series for DarkWatch. Starts off with Jericho as a child watching his parents get killed and then short little intermissions of him as an adult. E.G. He knew everyone in DarkWatch already. They just treat him different in the game because he was a Vampire.
Man I'm such a Fan Girl when it comes to a character I like. I like Jericho just as much as I like Medic and Sniper. I guess you can say playing the game renewed it for me. I like Raditz, too. He's from DBZ. Can't really think of any one else. Just those 4 I guess.
I'm in such a better mood. I might have to change my title to something more happy. Gah, can't think of anything. I might just not have a title. That one is just too sad.
Ah hahaha! I thought of one.

Lost: Green Composte Notebook
I lost my green composite notebook today. Like a dummy, I left it on the roof of my jeep when bringing my brother to school. I saw it fly off, and I debated on if I should stop and get it.
'Nah', I thought. 'I'll pick it up on my return trip.' On my return trip, I couldn't find it anywhere. It was like trying to find Waldo in an I Spy book(Hint: he isn't in one). I eventually gave up because it either moved to a spot I couldn't see as I don't have my glasses or someone picked it up.
So, just in case someone did pick it up, I posted a lost ad in the newspaper. 90 fricken dollars, but my notebook is worth it. Its almost my life and I also posted a reward if it is still in one piece. I still have my blue composite but... It still saddens me. I have three stories in it. Two finished, rough drafts but finished and my Deus Ex TF2 story. Which isn't- WASN'T finish but nearly there. Well, I can still work on my other two short stories I had queued up as side stories of the Deus Ex TF2 story. And I still have to work out my *ahem* Meme story I was inspired by awhile ago. I'm still writing so the notebook wasn't an entire loss and I start my new job tomorrow! :D Today was a rough day, maybe tomorrow will be a bit more smoother.

Have no Fear! Steam Cloud is here! And his sidekick YT!
So. It wasn't all I feared. I didn't loose everything per say like I thought. I had enabled my 'Sync with Steam Cloud' option on. So every save I had, that was compatible with Steam Cloud was saved. :D Like my 30 hour Deus Ex: HR game saves? Still there. Thank goodness.
And I'm getting inspiration for my TF2 story, which ties with Deus Ex. Thanks to ThePianoGuys on YT. They re-done a song by Adele called Rolling in the Deep. Fricken beautiful song.
I'm thinking of using this inspiration for a prelude to the Deus Ex story. Makes me all giddy thinking about it. Love getting inspired. Welp, that's all for now. Off to write. :D

Steam Died. Basically lost everything.
So. Downloaded the Tf2 Beta from 2007 to try out the Source Filmmaker. Neat little device, not going to lie. But it killed Steam.
Corrupted everything. Lost all my screenshots that I hadn't uploaded to Steam Cloud. All my saves. Data of games so I have to re-download everything. Everything. I haven't felt this numb since my house burned down a few years ago. Haven't felt this angry since my little brother erased my 360 hard drive.
It makes me wonder why I bother sometimes. What's the point of trying to get things when some little fucking bug comes along and erases everything? Everything I've accomplished, just disappears like dust in the wind. Like it didn't even exist.
But at least it didn't corrupt my entire hard drive. If I'd have lost my writings...
Hell I don't know. I'm upset, but I know I'd sure be depressed if I lost those.
