first, the apologies, since they're shorter. i've been wanting to do this for a while, and after Sleven's blog, it felt like the right time.
if you haven't noticed, i'm not much of a blog commenter. that's a habit i got last year during senior high school because i didn't have time for anything, so i would just skim through blogs, when i bothered checking them. it's probably why my gamespot profile is so down on views now (and the fact that i barely check unions anymore, but that's not related to the case). unfortunately, i can't get rid of it, so you'll notice i only comment when i really have something to say. i know it's unusual for me to apologize for something (i'm always the person that says "don't apologize, it's just an internet forum, not your job"
, but i don't really have a reason not to comment, so if anyone feels like sleven, then here are my sincere apologies.
now for something on the happy side of things, i've just returned from italy 
well, sort of. i'm in portugal now (gonna stay 4 days in Porto, visiting my grandfather), but now i can actually use the internet.
so italy... well, let's say playing assassin's creed II before visiting florence, venice, monteriggioni and san gimignano really improves the experience. expect videos once i return. if you're an avid AC2 player, you'll noticed i haven't visited forli. that's because we ran out of time, and both monteriggioni and san gimignano were on our way to the airport, which is why we managed to visit them. we also went to rome, but it's more like shadow of the colossus (the ruins) and the first assassin's creed. BTW, san gimignano is exactly like in the game, and monteriggioni is about 100m² big. and there's no auditore villa.
as for the weird dream, this is kinda like a taste of how weird my dreams can be. i had this on my last night on rome, so i had to write it down so i wouldn't forget. enjoy the insanity 
TEH DREAM
well i was at home and, for some reason, shin came over and was trying to install some of his PC games on my PC. when i noticed he tried to install prince of persia, which i've beaten 4 times, i said something like "shin, when i look at my collection, one game stands out the most" and i show him... metroid prime trilogy. don't ask.
anyway, after some stuff i can't remember happened, we appeared in a farm where i guess is bangladesh (again, don't ask). a bunch of you guys were there, and i can remember sleven, tanya, shin, falconer (once more, don't ask. i barely talk to him, took me 5 minutes after i woke up to remember who he was) and "xiao"... well, she introduced herself as xiao and everyone acted as if it was her, but she looked like an old woman with no traces that resemble her, especially when considering xiao is one of the youngest NF members.
anyway, some of my college friends (which reminds me of a dream i had the day before... which i won't tell here because it's even weirder) were there too, one of them with a machete (?!). some kind of discussion started and we decided to start a "hunt and be hunted" game. with wooden spears (?!?!). my programming teacher (?!) started it, and at one point, only shin was running from me, xiao and sleven. i threw the spear at him in an attempt to startle him and hit his leg, causing a ridiculously deep wound on it (which wouldn't bleed, BTW). i got desperate and we all ran trying to find a hospital in the city (carrying shin around, we were afraid he'd get an infection and lose his leg), which looked really poor and dirty (don't judge me 
).
at some point we stopped at a church (once more, please don't ask) and i saw a british guy. with my best british accent (lol?) i asked him if he knew of any hospital nearby. he gave me some directions and i followed them... alone, while everyone else, shin included, stayed on the church.
bad idea, because not much later, i got inside what looked like the place, but with 3 "i'm gonna kill you" kids/teens in army clothes in front of it. it was a caffé, so i decided to leave. the 3 kids get in and start threatening me, saying random gibberish i couldn't understand. i thought they were robbing me, so i try to pull off my wallet and my cellphone, in an attempt to drive them away so i could go back to finding the hospital. they read my shirt and were offended by it (i think i had my "if only jesus saves, why bother with a memory card?" shirt), and said "this is an offense to our religion, this is an offense to shangri-la!" (don't. ask.). then they said "take him away", and i really got desperate, explaining my situation and everything, and then... i woke up.
i hate when that happens. my dreams NEVER end before i wake up, and then i never find out what would've happened... like the epic dream i had the day before... wait, i'm not telling it, it's just too much random dream telling for a day >.>
