Usually, I tend to find myself gravitating towards physical means of journaling and only when I am in such a desperate mental state that I need to get my thoughts down (yet I cannot imagine myself talking to another about my problems). A few months ago, I found myself in such a tough spot that my mother and I went out and bought many notebooks for my personal use. They're helpful, admittedly. But, I always end up abandoning these journals when I'm sound enough to move on. However, I always keep these journals to look back upon. This Sanrio(tm) notebook sits idly on my desk until my next mental break, I suppose. A grim perspective, but a crutch to rely on.

I believe this site has brought a sort of safe space to my day to day life. Certainly does give me something to do, and a good way to log my thoughts. I will definitely be using this blog to archive emotions, rambles, and notions. Each post will be tagged respectively.

A bio post is not necessary anyways because you all know me already.

Within the past hour I had just finished my run of the Fallout New Vegas Honest Hearts DLC (the one with the whole thing between the Dead Horses and White Legs) and it honestly left a bittersweet taste in my mouth.

I had watched a playthrough initially before buying the DLC and I was incredibly fond of the characters you meet, but I think playing through it first-hand really set things in stone. I love, love, loveeee Joshua Graham... I think he is just So fucking cool and interesting and his story really clicked with me. Definitely my favorite New Vegas character aside from Benny and Yes Man. I've always been a sucker for crazy religious bitches.

However what I was not aware of was that you're able to keep so many souvenirs from the DLC in the main game, like Joshua's gun and armor, and Salt-Upon-Wounds' helmet. Not to mention Daniel's hat and outfit...? It struck a chord in me and made me incredibly happy. I will definitely take proper care of everything. Joshua would be proud...

I'm very much a person that hates change, and especially change in video games for some reason. I had been chipping away at finishing the DLC for the past two days, so I'll have to get used to not having those quests on my Pip-Boy anymore. And as an addendum, I had finally finished Wild Card: Change in Management which will also be change I have to get used to. Viva Las Vegas, I suppose!
