So much to talk about! I'm on holiday, finally...which makes me realize that since I've last updated, I've started working full-time. Well, 2 part-time jobs that equal 1 job when put together, I guess. But has it really been so long since I last wrote here? If the last time I updated was around Halloween, then I guess so!
So, on the subject of long amounts of time, I finally beat Twilight Princess, a game I've been playing for seven years. Why seven years? Because I sometimes I hated that game (and no, I don't think hate is too strong a word!). I hated it so much I'd have to step away from it and take breaks from it that lasted months at a time. But even though I felt like I'd give it up, I'd always come back for more. I guess because it's a Zelda game. No way could I have had this kind of dedication or drive with any other series. It's the Zelda universe that gave me motivation to keep returning to this game and vow to beat it, even when I didn't want to. And seven years later, I did. Even when there were so many times when I didn't think I would. And when I was first diagnosed with leukemia, I had serious doubts about living long enough to beat the game. So to say it means a lot to me to complete this game, to see this challenge all the way through, is quite an understatement. ^_^;;
Seven years is such a long time. When I first started off on this adventure, I was still a student. I was still living in Verdun. It was another lifetime back then! So different. It's such a crazy feeling to know this game is finally completed. Also, seven years is a long time to have a project like this going, to always know I had this game as an option as something to work on or something to do. It's going to take some getting used to, to know that it's now done with.
I finished the game at 3 AM last night! I was quite wired afterward and didn't go to bed until almost 5. Luckily I didn't have to get up early today, but that didn't mean I had no plans today. Quite the opposite; I finally went to see the new Star Wars movie! But, that'll be a separate post...
