The Offspring.

I seriously don't know what it is about them... but I just love having that music on the highway, driving in general! :)

Especially the more aggressive songs.

Road rage? Nooooooooooo. ;)

Would love to still remember how to answer this in French, but I'd totally most likely screw it up since it's been a while.

I've never really gotten a chance to go, but if I did I think I'd love to see Provence. From what we studied in class, it just seemed so pretty. And, as I recall, it served as an inspiration to a lot of artists.

... yes, I kind of have a secret appreciation for country scenery. XD This may explain my going to college in Pennsylvania.XD

Though not old school by older standards, Earthbound on the Super Nintendo. By far. Today, people are trying to consider Halo 1 "retro"... so I think a 16-bit game can fit the bill for this, right?

Earthbound wasn't just a game to me. It was an experience. I remember the first time I saw it, even. My mom's ex-boyfriend at the time had shown me RPGs. It was the greatest gift I had ever gotten out of childhood, in my opinion. It made me want to read and learn new vocab as I was only in about second grade when I saw earlier RPGs he rented, and I then saw and played them(even going so far as to beating the Phantom Train in Final Fantasy VI by mashing A since I didn't know how battle worked). I even turned in a school assignment in 3rd grade with Terra, Celes, and Mog from FFVI in it. But this isn't about FFVI, this is about my favorite SNES RPG, Earthbound. I first saw Earthbound when I came home from school one day, and the ever-so-brave protagonist Ness was sitting in his home with the menu screen pulled up in the top-left corner. I thought the game looked odd at first, to be frank.

I then got to PLAY it. And that's when I fell in love. The sheer quirkiness of the game was something I'd never seen before. I had read a bit about it in Nintendo Power, of course, but it was nothing like actually playing. I didn't catch all the nuances in the dialogue until later(references and stuff), but the game was simply cool because as a kid, you could relate to that kind of stuff. Instead of swords, there were bats and yo-yos. Instead of potions, there were hamburgers. This kind of stuff was just interesting. And the story? Quirky and lovable. I skipped my first day of elementary school on purpose for this game, to beat the Summers area. Maybe this started my irresponsibility.:)

But by and far away, I loved it all. I still remember quotes, a favorite being from a shark punk in Onett arcade. "*saliva spit saliva spit* Want some gum? Get your own, twit." XD And I definitely can't forget how much I enjoyed just strolling around Fourside. And Moonside! Where yes means no, and no means yes.XD

But perhaps best of all, were the times I shared with my neighbor Justin playing this game. We always played the hell out of this game, and took turns. It was a really fun time, back then. It's a shame I can't ever go back to those simple times- do my elementary schoolwork, then have dinner made for you, and then just have to go play. Maybe that's why I favor this one so much. Sheer nostalgia.:)

Now I feel I need to re-play it this summer!:)

And to the other EB fans out there... if you haven't seen this, SEE IT! The EB Saga, a parody of the actual game.:)

I think we can all agree to disagree that adolescent women are dumb and should not have been portrayed in the media at all.:)

JO AMY IS MY OTP DAWG

I seriously hate people who overload their Myspace/Facebook/whatever pages. I don't care about how many digital rip-off tamagotchi flash pets someone has. And the glittery crap too.

Hello all. You're probably viewing this for the hell of it... perhaps.

This is my Livejournal. I got it when, you know, they made the FREE option for it so you didn't have to get invited.(Believe it or not, LJ was a rarity back in the day.:p)

Anyways, hiyah. My name is Ashley, but people call me Fay sometimes. Fayorei is a dear name to me.

I'm 21 now. I was 16 when I made this journal.

My interests- gaming, sketching for my enjoyment, music, and learning Japanese. Exciting? You bet.

I'm on World of Warcraft. Horde FTW, Holy Paladins also FTW. Dr00ds are cute.;3 Shamans kick ass.

My favorite anime characters are Sachiko, Yumi, Youko, and Sei from Maria-Sama Ga Miteru, Rukia from Bleach, and Anko from Naruto. My favorite video game character is Selan from Lufia II. My favorite real life inspirations are vast. My favorite color is dark red, and I'm also quite partial to orange or any other warmer color.

My favorite couples are Yumi and Sachiko from Maria-Sama, Ichigo and Rukia from Bleach, and Dr. Girlfriend and the Monarch in Venture Bros.:D

Favorite Voice actors? Fumiko Orikasa, and Miki Itou... I'll pretty much watch anything with either of the two voicing.xD

I attend college. I'm going to be a senior-junior hybrid creature this fall, and my major was Art/Studio, and it is now Communications Media with hopefully a focus in Animation and Game Design. I hope to work in Game Design in the future, somehow... or at least animation. SOMETHING.

My other love is video games- Wii, DS, PS2, GC, SNES, NES, GBA... love em. I want an X-Box 360, but I can't afford it and even if I could it malfunctions way too much currently.

I have been playing video games since the age of 4(Mario/Duck Hunt). Earthbound and Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals(both SNES) are my FAVORITE games of all time.
