Where's mother? On my sofa, playing video games.

So my mum's been having a rough week. Rough to the point that she's become an incredibly dangerous driver due to massive emotional distraction, which is equal parts terrifying, embarrassing, and really fun. I don't think she's gonna get hurt - it's not that bad. There have just been some... incidents. A virus escaped, and everybody died. Like two days ago, when we were near Pike Place Market and she'd pulled into a parking spot on the side of the road to answer a text - she finished up, backed into the car behind us with gusto, and then drove away like something horrible was chasing us. All while the other car's owner watched, bewildered, from the other side of the street. For a while I was pretty mortified, but then I realized it was incredible and I wanted to do it MORE. Get out of my head, Reno, you're making me into a bad person.

On a separate note, would it not have been great in FFVII if instead of people getting possessed or whatever by Jenova, they got possessed by Reno? Instead of 'give me that fancy materia, hurr' we would have had 'put on this sombrero and these hooker boots and light some mailboxes on fire.' ...I really do think Square should make a game that focuses on Reno as the main character. It'd be a fearsome and beautiful thing.

( Okay this thing's getting long. Let's throw a cut in. )
