Long Shot Of That Jumping Sign~♫

"Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines" was released 10 years ago [on November 16TH (in North America), and November 19TH (Europe)] in 2004!~

I tried to make this as if it was from 2004. I even used a polyphonic ringtone I'd received in a MMS years ago. This was also made in Windows Movie Maker 2.1 :}

The pose in this screenshot of the Player Character's dancing in "Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines" made me think of this:



Now I have a hilarious mental image of him dancing to it.

I played Bloodlines for a bit today. I started over, and played until just before leaving the apartments (at the door). Well I played seriously until then; I went out and went on a spree of sorts until being attacked by the police. I was hoping to frenzy, but even though I had no blood pool, and like 5 Humanity, I didn't. I've never had a frenzy before, but I kept being amused at remembering alchemy_hisoka telling me her dad played and frenzied first thing XD I don't know if or when I'll play next (since computer time exhausts me, and I'm going to be away), but here are some screenshots. I think it is fitting that I'm playing a Toreador as I keep finding the shiny things & landscape & such so interesting.

Starting out:



One of my favourite lines:


Mercurio has very shiny vases.


Putting the cupboard door in a safe place:


Toreador Disciplines & Jack under Auspex:


Random p-pizzaaaaaas in the haven & a bitchy LaCroix (with clipping on the Sire):


Lastly Beckett & Knoxx:


Some of those are from when I played in August, and the rest are over {HERE}.

The ones I uploaded here in 2007-2009 are at { http://lady-noremon.livejournal.com/pics/catalog/8197 }.

EDIT---
And this was posted & updated with LJ.NET (and using my list of LiveJournal codes)!

Well an attempt at another entry after the one I tried before this ended-up different than I planned.

Well the past two weeks have been urgh to the point that I am so damn run-down. Things actually seemed a bit alright after going to the AVEX, and eating good food and just getting out of the house. I started talking again to someone who I thought had dropped me, after finally admitting I was scared to talk after weeks of not talking along with my birthday going by. I even tried coming back to Twitter a bit since I was feeling a bit relieved/things might not be good but at least they were stable. But pretty much after things just fell.

-----

( On Twitter... )

It feels like words just dissipate once they leave my mouth or hands. That sound happens, but is just into air. None of my fears or feelings seem to mean anything. Nothing I have ever done mattered.

-----

I don't know if I'd be so numb if I wasn't sick, or if I'm too beaten-down anyway. But maybe being sick is a bit of a blessing right now.

( On being sick... )

-----

So to try as a last ditch thing to distract myself, I decided to try a restart of "Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines".

( On my Shaglehod... )

I do know that Bloodlines will be one of the early things I do install though. But if it doesn't help; well I probably won't be around much as I have said before.

I can't take the filtering, removals, Blocks, ignoring or any of it. I can't take being so scared to even contact people (to even say 'hey' to people). Leaving people be seems to be the wrong thing; being sociable seems to be the wrong thing. I get told to go back to Twitter, so I tweet things & let things go to it, and yet I get hardly any replies. People would rather unFollow me than respond to anything. I can't take any more broken promises. I can't take words that feel pacifying and never are backed-up by any proof. I can't take feeling so alone. I can't take that everything I have every done never mattered. I don't know what people want me to do. I don't know what they expect me to say.

I just can't handle things anymore.

-----

And I really don't think most of the people understand that things just aren't crap online. Online feels the worst because it is my sanctuary, and one of my main places where I have confidence & worth. But there is a lot of family crap (most of which I have mentioned before) and such as well.

( On life stuff... )

Also my Sea Monkeys are starting to die. My 3 large males (including Julius), and a female have been floundering around the bottom of the tank. I moved them to another glass with some of the tank water as suggested by Sea Monkey Worship, but when I checked on them the next day Julius kept following me around the side so I decided isolating them was cruel if they were going to die anyway. I actually think he was asking me to move them back. I've been too worried/dreadful to check on them yet today, but I will before I go to bed (it's also a feeding day). I need to get the tank set-up soon as well as it is getting colder and I don't want to lose all that are left.

But there is some good news in that I have a very pregnant female, a few other adults, and lots of younger Sea Monkeys swimming around. I thoroughly plan to have them & care for them for the foreseeable future, so I really, really want them to keep doing well.

-----

But I want a lot of things. I want to feel like a person, I want to have promises kept, I want to be able to not be so scared & trust, I really want a hug, I want adventures to look forward to, I want my family to care, I want to be able to eat Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners, I want to be remembered on my birthday, I want my education money back, I want to get my knee sorted, I want to see about my jaw, I want good contact from people, I want people to not ignore me on Twitter & online, I want to feel like I am not just talking to air, I just want people to sillily respond to tweets, I want to be unfiltered, unBlocked, and added back, I want to just have the friends that I thought I had, I want things I have been involved in doing to exist, I want those things to have mentions, I want to not be terrified that things will be deleted, I want to send & receive stuff in the mail with more than just one person again, I want my RAZR to be more than just a fancy clock again, I want to have silly & random conversations with people again, I want to be able to say 'Hippo Burpdae' to people without fear they'll remove me, I want to feel like I am wanted to exist, I want to feel that there is a point to it.

And so I am pathetic.

-----

Anyway I'll stop rambling now. I need to work on my back-up, have a bath, & make sure my tank works anyway. And try to get to bed early & get sleep if I can breath. Maybe it will help me feel less run-down? I'm hoping to get a drive to outpatients as well. Tomorrow night will probably be devoted to the big install -____-

Yes, I started playing it again :D

Apparently it is now October in-game. It was April during the plague mission...Did it take me months to complete the mission, or does my Toreador have amnesia o_o;
 

( of awesome hide-a-ways, octopieseses, & 'It's Tradition!' :D )

( doesn't the LA Museum of Natural History pay well enough? )

( news in a cubicle )
( I AM REMINDED OF 'GOLDENEYE' )

To be continued when I have had some sleep...

So I decided to buy a fire-axe since it's Lethality is 12 and my highest melee weapon is only 9.

I was asked by Fat Larry to go steal a suitcase from the Tong [he said he noticed I was buying from him regularly and not just like someone trying to guard their property). I loved how he discribed what he was looking for! It was this convoluted discription that ended in 'yojimbo' :D I said sure!



I think I'd like to re-play this quest just to see if I could get around killing the smoking-guy. I may just since I saved just before entering :D 

I'm debating taking Pisha's quest now while I'm back in the Downtown...should I? I still don't like the idea of sending the poor man to be eaten just because she slipped-up in her 'food harvesting'...

[will continue after I get back from shopping] 

Did Trafik again :D 5mins to get to the man I have to kill [didn't slit his throat this time, I broke his neck instead...no blood ^^;]. 10mins after that to steal the briefcase. Then the hard part...escapeing unseen. Took me almost 35mins -___-; but I bet the looks on the faces of the Tong & the gang were priceless :D 

"Where did the briefcase go?" 
"Wait! A Tong is dead!" 
"You planned to steal the case all along right? Didn't want to pay!" 
*firefight*

So now I am taking a break since I am weighing doing Necromatic or not...

[will continue once I decide what to do...] 

EDIT---
Tried playing a character with only 1 Seduction...how the hell do you feed in Santa Monica?! My only plan was to follow a chick down to the Gimble entrance and then I only got like 1/3 full. After I did the medical clinic area I was short after using Blood Buff a lot so I had to resort to crawling down to the sewers and finding as many rats as I could D: [as you can see if I can't seduce I'm useless playing this game] I was scared I was going to Frenzy (I have no idea what triggers it, but I'm guessing going a long-time without feeding while low on blood). I'm glad my main game is a 6 Seduction Toreador~

Checked-out the Elizabeth Dane. Finally got to see what the Thin Bloods look like! [E doesn't not look like I thought he would]



So after I checked my e-mail [remember not to touch the butter! Even if it tasted like margarine~] I went back to Downtown LA.



EDIT---
My new Haven is awesome!~♥ [I so want a place like this in real-life someday!~]


EDIT---
Decide(s) I was too curious and had to go use Auspex on the cabby...



So while I was playing, I decided to take a peek of Dr.Grout's house to see what my adventures tomorrow will hold.



I decided to explore the outside before I went in.


I entered.


Speaking of Malkavians I just remember this** painting that Lane showed us, that reminded me of Malkavians?

[will continue when I am done class tomorrow] 

EDIT---
Here is the wraith of Bloodlines...I.E. action games make me drink/need cafeine.


[will continue after I pack my art supplies]

[Continued here**]

**"Study after Velazquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X"

*does a little "I shotgunned Jezebel Locke dance*

  
One of the attemps I made [before I started using Celerity to run around while reloading...took 10 shots at close-range D:], when she was talking to me it glitched and she kept using Presence constantly...it almost made her look pretty. 




----

On-ward to Victory Damsel! 

EDIT---
Damn I'm getting glitches in the other sewers!!! 

EDIT---


[will continue up until the Canucks' game]

 Armadei commented that my Toreador Zinnian reminded her somewhat of Jeanette from "Vampire: The Masquerade; Bloodlines" well tonight I find-out they even have the same eye-colour(s) o_o;

 

I find this very creepy O_o;

Also Blood-Bank-Guy is batshit and creepy D:
