Thank whatever-god it's Friday.

So maybe I just bought a Playstation 2. After months and months of flailing indecisively at the Amazon page.

But. In my defense I spent the entire day trying not to kill the world's Most Annoying Colleague. I was getting really pissed off by the afternoon though, cueing the following conversation (all of her conversations will start as a comment on another conversation she's just had with someone, that you didn't hear but she expects you to know the details of anyway):

Most Annoying Colleague: It's difficult isn't it.
Me: What's difficult Gill?
MAC: Buying the land.
Me: *twitches* Buying the land for what Gill?
MAC: For cemetaries you know.
Me: Is it?
MAC: Well it has to not have been used for anything else doesn't it?
Me: *twitches more* Really?
MAC: Nothing can've been built on it...
Me: ...I suppose they don't want to bury people in contaminated land. There could be chemicals that make them rise as zombies.
MAC: No-
Me: Which admittedly would be cool.
MAC: No, it has to be consecrated doesn't it?
Me: ...Unless you're a witch.

At which point the phone rang and she went to answer it, which was lucky because I was getting desperate. She is religious of the does-after-work-activities-with-the-church but she also has a habit of ignoring everything you say that she doesn't understand or can't seem to process, so I suspect I'd have actually had to invent a passion for gravedigging to get her to stop talking. And that was my entire day because my two other work colleagues went home early. I think I deserve a Playstation 2 after that.

Now I am not going to look at prices for Final Fantasy X. I am not going to look at prices for...

NO. GO LOOK AT PRICES. LOOK NOW. It's brilliant! I cried! Twice!



Oh god that's a terrible thing to admit. But it is very good.

You are all terrible temptresses, because I read these comments and had to buy it. This will be a Final Fantasy X Christmas, I can see it. And it will be awesome.

I'm pretty sure I cried at FFVIII, though it was a while ago since I played it; I know the Laguna/Raine storyline breaks my heart every time. It's no more terrible than crying over a book and I do that all the time. *shame*

XD It is a very involving game. You really wont move till you finish it XD




And I blub at every final fantasy but it was lots in the case of this one, only crisis core made me cry more!

Have you ever played Final Fantasy X before? Because it is amazing, and you must.

EDIT: Also amazing: that conversation. Zombies!

Nope. The closest I've ever got was earlier this year when I was looking to cut my hair short; I googled a picture of Yuna which I took into the hairdressers' and went "HACK OFF MY HAIR UNTIL IT LOOKS LIKE THIS." It's kind of embarrassing that I have her hair and I've never played it. *shame*

When I worked in Waterstone's last Christmas, my boss would sit in the staff room and talk about her Zombie Apocalypse Survival plan. It was awesome. Sadly people where I work now are less awesome and just think I'm odd. Clearly bookshops = superior to all.

(Also, while I remember the Balthier action figure is only £5 on play.com right now. I've never played XII and even I'm tempted by him; the FF figures are so amaizngly pretty.)
