all made up with nowhere to go

I am a tired bean this week because I've been awake since 5am this morning, so that's nice. I feel more awake now I've had some coffee, but generally: uuuugggggghhhh.

I should be working today, but I swapped today for this Friday just gone with my boss, as she wanted to swap for personal reasons. So I did! Friday Saturday Sunday is not fun, but I feel less knackered than I did the last time I had a longer week, so that's good news. (I think nine tenths of it was going from sitting around on my own for three months to suddenly having to be on my feet and interacting with people all day).

EDIT: I keep forgetting to say, but I've got a date for my second vaccination! It's in about a week and a half! [/edit]

In Persona 5, I am at the end of September/in the fifth dungeon.

I like everybody in this game except Akechi! Well, I'd like Morgana better if he weren't so gross about Ann. Anyway, it's nice to play a Persona where I like most of the characters (sorry to everyone who likes 4, but...I dislike most of the cast, and I'm sad, because I really wanted to like them all. Kanji, Rise, Margaret, and Nanako are about the only main cast characters I like).

Ann and Yusuke are my faves at the moment. Makoto has grown on me a bit, and I'm p sure I like Haru, even though I thought she'd irritate me.

I have a plot point that irks me, ( which is spoilers about Futaba )

Other than that, really enjoying the Quality of Life improvements this has over P4/and definitely 3! I'd like more SP healing items, although I've unlocked the regen items, so it's not as bad but eh. Healing points like in previous games would have been nice! (Though the safe rooms are *chef's kiss*. They just need a healer, like the fox from 4, or Trish from 2. I wouldn't even mind paying them, I had like, 200,000 yen before I did weapon upgrades!)

~ I am thinking about growing my hair out. Partially because I just don't know what to do with it any more. I get bored with haircuts, eventually, and I've been bored of this undercut for going on a year now. I mean, I'll still keep it as an undercut, probably, just longer.

I'm also thinking about dyeing it again, because I like doing that, you wouldn't believe how many grey hairs I have (not that I care any more; I kind of like them), and Schwartzkopf have a pillar box red dye that looks AWESOME. (I suspect it wouldn't come out that red on me, given how dark my hair is naturally, but who knows??)

~ I updated my profile a little bit. There's not much different, though I did actually add pronoun information after waffling about it for literally years.

~ I've been meaning to cull a bunch of blogs I'm following on tumblr for the following reasons: either they're inactive, or I'm not interested in the content any more. I went down from 203 to 168 and wow?? Not sure how that happened, but it did.

~ I've spent all day looking at pictures of the P3/4 characters on the Megaten Wiki and intermittently posting about P4 on twitter because it's been foggy all day. Now I am crying (not literally) because AUGH SHINJI FEELS.

I restarted Persona 4 in an attempt to actually beat it this time. I suppose I could just do the Bad Ending, and that would count, but I want the Good Ending, DAMNIT.

I could've just gone off my old save, from a shocking almost FOUR YEARS ago (I haven't played it since, and that makes me sad, because I've been thinking about beating it/replaying it for that long). But I decided not to, because although I know the story, I've literally only played it once (apart from restarting after that time I got distracted by P3), so some areas of it are vague to me. And I haven't seen all the social links, yet, and that's one of the things I love about the game (aside from, you know, mythological melting pot, and ♥ tarot motifs ♥) (I don't love having to manage my time to deal with them all, though).

And I'm reading through a Let's Play of P4: Golden (the sooper-special rerelease I thought Atlus swore they'd never make??) and I want to see what's different (so far? A heck of a lot! Even the questions asked in class are different!) I'm not going to ever get to play it, I don't think (I don't have a Vita or spare cash lying around, anyway), so...anyway. But on a related note, I might get P4 Arena for Xmas because DANG WANT (and I do have an Xbox, so woooo!)

The upshot is, anyway, that I mostly have the Junes theme tune stuck in my head constantly, but I'm not finding it as irritating as I did four years ago :O

(Actually right now, I have In Laqetti from P2 stuck in my head for no apparent reason).

Hopefully, I am better at this game than I used to be - Yukiko's shadow didn't give me as much grief as she used to and - fingers crossed - Kanji's shadow should be relatively easy, too (I always want to smash the controller into the TV because I failed so many times on that fight. Apparently it's dead easy, but I suppose I'm just playing the game wrong, right?)

Anyway, going to go play some more in a few minutes, I think!
