Health related life updates-ish..? + Nostalgia!

Hey folks! 

How're y'all doing? 
I'm doing okay at the moment, though I'm a little under the weather today, generally speaking I'm feeling normal. I did however go to the Doctor's the other day, I've been kinda' overdue, she said book back in a month 's time about... say... The end of 2013? Ga'h, I'm dreadful at keeping track, but hey, I finally booked to see her and she's decided to refer me to a specialist Councillor or something, basically someone who properly knows about bipolar disorder and such. If you follow my art kinda closely, or at least when I upload you can probably tell what kind of mood I'm in, if I'm uploading a lot at a time, like recently, then I'm in a more positive mood, the Doc' said that's a Hypomanic period, when I stop uploading for a while it's usually because I'm in a more depressive period, during those times I find it hard to even get motivated at all, so I tend to stay away, I'm also less active online generally, because I don't want folk's putting up with my moods, it's not fair on them. 

Another thing the Doc' said, which I'm dreading... Is that she wants to take some blood for tests because she has a few concerns, which is ughhhh... Because I HATE NEEDLES... Worst. Things. Ever. 

But whatever. I'm not bothered right now, because I'm pre-occupied with THE BEST THING EVER.

One of my favourite childhood games finally got it's HD re-release! That's Final Fantasy X (10) 

Just oh my god, I'm overwhelmed with nostalgia feels right now! For me, FFX was the perfect Final Fantasy, I know there are a lot of folks who prefer previous titles, VII (7) being a notable example, as well as newer ones like XIII-I/II/III (13-1/2/3, god this is confusing...), but X was the first to really draw me in, to make me LOVE the characters, maybe it was because it was the first to have character models that looked realistic, maybe it was the fact that they had voices, or maybe simply because at the time I first played it I'd reached the age in my childhood where characters were more than play things, they represented people who I could actually care about, I don't know, but for me, FFX is MY Final Fantasy.

Playing The HD version brought it all back, everything, all the characters, heck, all their lines! Tidus's childlike naivety, delicate Yuna and her solid resolve, my "Brudda" Wakka, Lulu just frigging being Lulu (I really really her btw XD)... The wonderful sights, the fantastic music (beautifully remastered too), even the simple sounds of a sphere being placed in a trial... Speaking of Spheres! The Sphere Grid! Oh by Yevon how I missed it! For me the most satisfying form of character progression, literally a map of how far you've come since you first started playing... And Blitzball too, it looks like such fun to play, science, get workin' on it! XD Ahhh... Seriously, this game is really quite special to me, it's strange too, because as a (casual) gamer I ABSOLUTELY loath turn-based gameplay... But FFX, even the combat I love, which is amazing when you consider that fact... 

Heheheh, yeah, this is rapidly descending into fanboyism now, I know... XD  

But in short, yeah, life may take the gravy but occasionally it throws you a bone!


Oh, and yeah, this is an art site, I know, but I like to keep ya'll in the loop... Plus I'm on no social network anymore (Haven't been in AGES)...

Ah' what the heck, art stuffs: I'm working on a few more Star Wars OC thingies, and I REALLY wanna draw some Final Fantasy X fan art, so... We'll see what happens, for now though I'm gonna have to put my head down, got a headache... But don't worry, all be back shortly! (like, a day or so XD)

LOVE & PEACE
