And stuff. And journal skin testing.

ANYWAYYY I was at Video Games Live for what felt like most of the weekend, even though it wasn't really. XD This was the first video game music concert in Portland (though that doesn't really surprise me; we're more well-known for our rain and hippies than anything), and they asked the choir I'm in to sing, so... I was there for Friday for a few hours to rehearse, and then Saturday and Sunday for like three hours each. But now that it's over, I'm going to miss rehearsing for it. D:

It was such an amazing concert. It sounds kind of odd from right behind the orchestra (and I was right behind the timpani guy), but it was awesome to be right there too. I wished I had been in the audience so I could see the screens, but then if I were out there I would have wished I were on stage, so... XD

My favorite songs were Civilization IV and the Warcraft Suite. They're so amazing. The Halo Suite is pretty cool too, of course. (Oh my god, Tsunami sounds so amazing. I keep wishing I was a guy so I could sing like that.) The Chrono Cross/Chrono Trigger medley was phenomenal too, though... mostly the Scars of Time segment, which was most of it. I have't ever played the game, but I'm dearly in love with that song, and the symphony played it so amazingly well. It was gorgeous. I don't think I'll be able to listen to the original version ever again. 3:

If VGL is coming to your area soon, please go see it, or at least listen to some of the videos on YouTube, because they're beautiful.

And just for the record, I keep getting the Metal Gear Solid theme stuck in my head.

Um... and I guess I should apologize sort of for not submitting anything recently. I've been sooo busy--mostly because of school. But now my extra free time has been taken up by NaNo. I guess I have some okay stuff I did in art class recently that I can upload. -shrug- I'll try not to be so dead after November's over!
