if you believe in me, I might just want to spend some time with you again.

Is it me or is time passing by too fast lately? The things I thought I did just recently...were actually a long time ago, or not as recent as I thought it'd been. (Especially Livejournal comments you guys give me and I ... almost never reply to them. I read them, think, "Mmkay, I'll save that for later when I'm ready to word my thoughts," and two weeks later I'll finally notice it and go "AHH FUCK WHY.") Maybe it's because I haven't actually accomplished anything lately? Or my insomniac sleeping patterns? I don't know, I don't like it. Watch, this is probably in my head and I'll feel better about it a few months from now.

I've been playing a lot of Dragon Age lately. I have one huge (okay, small, but it's a big deal to me) dilemma with this game: I still don't know who to romance. I'm friends with just about everyone, but I don't know who I want to adopt as my lover. I don't want to go with Alistair because I discovered what happens to him at the end of the game and now I understand what Rick meant when he told me to avoid romancing Alistair. I'm not sure what to do with Alianna because just when I start to think I like her enough to romance her, I find her to be a little bland sometimes. I'm sad that I can't romance Morrigan because I love her bitchy ass and I would've wooed her a long time ago. I'm still undecided on how to feel about Zevran; he can be a little gross but then he says something really endearing another minute and then I want to hug him because he's strangely adorable in his skeevy own way. Wynne is obviously too old to be a choice in the game (sadly) and Oghren better not be an option because while he's fun, he's got enough love problems of his own.

Also, the reason why I feel odd about romancing either Alistair or Morrigan is because they're always bickering at each other and I always go "GAWD, YOU GUYS, JUST GO GET A ROOM" and I find myself enjoying that idea. Everyone is quite aware of my adoration for Slap Slap Kiss couples by now, so...yeah.

RAMBLING STOPS NOW BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN SEE MY DILEMMA. I LOVE EVERYONE, EVEN IF THEY DISAPPOINT ME SOMETIMES.

Funny thing is, Sten's probably got my highest approval rating at the moment. I know you can't romance him, but I can't help it; I enjoy the cold, angry fictional dudes with weird morals, the guys who never smile or look happy, or have more depth to them than you'd expect, or they're not as huge of jerks than others think they are. Yes, it's cliche, it's been overdone, but I never get tired of it if the guy's got enough heart to win me over. The only downside is that I've discovered Sten's weird sexism towards the ladies during one of those challenging approval/persuasion moments in the party camp. Dude, you would've been so perfect if it wasn't for that "BUT LADIES DON'T FIGHT, WHY DO YOU FIGHT?" moment. (Sometimes I wish my Warden can kick her party members asses when they act like tools. I'D DO IT ALL THE DAMN TIME.)

That's it for now. It's waaaaay past time for me to go to sleep so off I go.

See this is why I wanted an option to play a matchmaker role for the other characters, because they have great banter.

I admit sometimes I talk to Zevran just to listen to his voice, I love his accent. Also Sten had me at his 'elves excel at poverty' line, his casual jerkitude just melts my heart haha

I know! I think that's another reason why I love the characters in this game; they interact with each other outside of your Warden, and it's surprising which characters get along with each other when you expected nothing but EXTREME HATE.

Hmm, Zevran does have an awfully pretty voice. Maybe that's why I don't really get annoyed with him. XD; And YES on Sten. He's just this huge jerk that amuses me so much (or makes me headdesk depending on how annoyed I am with the game sometimes).
