Part XII

[davidn]

There, I've made more updates during the summer than Square has made Final Fantasy games (ever, not during the summer). That must be quite a lot, at least.

My opinion of children has changed rather a lot since this morning. We had a huge amount of them in for the Father's Day meals - all of them so little that they were only half of even my height. I should point out that if you're reading this and have never met me, it's nothing to speak of. They ran around the dining area for about half an hour, then one of them got belted with a bag they were throwing about, and that deterred them from being quite so energetic. Sorry, that seemed a bit indifferent, but when you've had to wait tables by wading through a sea of kids you'll understand.

My brother and sister have their birthday today (as in 21st June). I'm damned if I can remember how old they are.

Ah, 21st of June - that reminds me, Iron Savior's new album is out today. Because of the slight unlikelihood of the Inverurie Music Centre having it, I'll have to wait an extra couple of days for an Amazon order to come in. :(

Hours worked: 36, I think
c-a-string-h earned: £136.80
The same amount in Yen: ¥27,327.58

Makes it look a lot more, don't you think? Actually, does that Yen symbol go on the start or the end? Who knows, it took me ages to spot it in Charmap.

The end, I think.

Oh, I have heard a dark Rumour that you feel obliged to read every post on your flist, even if it's gay crossdressing porn.

Um, you shouldn't. *absolves you of obligation*

Unless this rumour is a lie, of course. If so, ignore *g*

Isn't there an X, XI and X2 as well? That sounds like 12 to me, unless they omitted one number or other among the first four.

Strange you should mention that, because they did in a way. Only FFs 1, 3 and 6 were ever released in America, and they were renumbered 1, 2 and 3 for those releases. When FF7 had a worldwide release, it was just called "7" everywhere to prevent confusion, so most of the world missed out on FFs 4, 5 and 6 (which were really 2, 4 and 5). Of course, that didn't matter in the UK, where 7 was the first to ever be released here.

Therefore, the upcoming Final Fantasy 12 is simultaneously the twelfth, thirteenth, fifth and ninth game in the series. And that's not including either of the Final Fantasy Tactics games. At this point we're approaching a perfectly confusing situation, and it's best not to bother trying to continue.

Your head a splode.

*Looks up "absolves" in the dictionary* I always get rather paranoid when anyone mentions "dark rumours" about me, no matter what the subject. I have a feeling that whoever said that was joking, however.

I do read most of the content on my friends page as it's ideal for passing the time - most of the people I keep on my list are very entertaining, and the ones who just post endless quizzes are taken off. (Sorry to people reading this if this sounds like Richard, and conversely, sorry to Richard if he's reading this.) I have not read the fiction posted on your journal (apart from a couple when I really needed to pass the time in St Andrews), but I am continually impressed by the amount of comments you get on them.

Why can I not make sense tonight?

oh

No, makes perfect sense.

Someone obviously got confused by you reading the comments :)
