Senior Project and FF8

Senior project presentations were this morning - went pretty well, actually. I discovered that it's the anticipation that makes me nervous. I came out of the bathroom after getting the wig on and stuff, and Mr. Menard basically grabbed me and threw me up in front of a room full of juniors. Bit of awkward-ness here and there, mostly because I got the room of non-geeks (Seriously, my school is the nerdiest place ever, and none of them had played FF7), but it all went of well. Yes, I have photos, I'll post them later. Unfortunately, my body has decided that now is a good time to catch a horrible cough and sore throat, so mostly all I want to do is sleep and play FF8, which I've realized is the video game equivalent of a Mercedes Lackey novel - easy reading, a bit contrived and 'WTF?' in the plot department, but ultimately some nice light fun. Which explains why I've sunk twenty-five hours into it in less than a week.
