What have I done in Australia?
The same stuff that I usually do at home. I gues that kind of takes away the mystical, magical aspect of being in a different country…but I never even felt blown away, even after I landed in Sydney about a week ago.
Don’t get me wrong, the country is absolutely beautiful—mountains and trees everywhere, I even found the houses adorable!—but it’s never really registered as anything gargantuanly different than what I’m exposed to at home.

I miss my family and friends; the time difference is really inconvenient. XD When I’m waking up, they’re all having dinner. It’s really awkward on Skype to be eating pancakes while one of my best friends is chowing down on pierogies or something. It also makes me want pierogies. ._.;;

I have been playing the HELL out of Persona 3 Portable since I got over here. I’ve actually beaten the game, and have continued onto to New Game+…and jesus,
killing the enemies is likes running a hot knife through butter. It kind of makes me laugh that Junpei still wants to be the leader even though I’m like level 73…snrk.
BUT!! This means I can actually try to max as many social links as possible! I did all of my favorites last time…including Akihiko and Shinji (both of which of I became lovers with…I’m such a trollop ;~;).
My new head canon for Mitsuru? She’s totally a closeted lesbian. First, she makes a point to say how DEAR and PRECIOUS you are to her douche bag fiance, and then calls the marriage off, then she discusses how she is no longer going to let her be shackled by roles and gender…THEN you discuss running away together on her motorcyle. Meanwhile, she gets all blushy faced and shy. Then you get this at the end of the game…

Mitsuru: Ah, there you are. If you have time, would you like to go with me somewhere? I have something I need to tell you… No matter what. I’m sorry, but I can’t let you go anywhere else.

[blah blah conversation about Kirijo Co.]

>Mitsuru looks tired…
My choice: Is there anything I can do to help you?

Mitsuru: *chuckle* Of course you can. In fact, there’s something only you can do. …Who will help me relax if I become exhausted? Who will be by my side? […] Everything went by so quickly, especially after you arrived. Everything changed with you. If you hadn’t come here…I wonder what would have become of me? Would I have accepted my arranged proposal…? […] You should come with me to visit the Kirijo head family; we’ll have tea with everyone. *chuckle* Our relationship is not one that will end after graduation, right? I wonder how we’ll change as time passes…I look forward to finding out.

Jeez, she invites you over to meet the family!!! As my Sociology teacher (who is proudly gay so it’s not meant to be offensive) would say, “there’s no dating in a lesbian relationship; second date, bring the U-Haul!”.
I do have to say, that I hated her when I first played the game years ago. Now I don’t mind her so much. I think it’s the fact that I play as FemC and the girl-y bonds with the group are a bit more welcoming and friendly than Male Protagonist.

Well, that became a little bit long winded. Sorry. ^^;;
I just wanted to post to show that I haven’t been eaten by a Great White or stung by a box jelly…This house is invested with Hunstman Spiders though. ;~;
