I was in the shower, thinking about all my close friends and was feeling quite sad that I hadn't had the opportunity to see them in a while because of how extrodinarily busy I am preparing for the next con season, and it occurred to me that almost all my friends map to characters in FFX.
Not that everyone does.. there are certainly a lot of friends who are missing.. but the friends in my close personal sphere who I would ask to be my guardians, if I ever happened to go on a pilgramage =} So, in no particular order...
Obviously, I'd be Yuna because I'm the one with guardians. Nats would be Tidus because she's the one I bounce my life off of when I don't know what to do. She helps me see new perspectives on things and always cheers me up. She never gives up hope and always gives me hope.
She also happens to come from a very far away place where they speak differently and have different customs ^_^
My brother would definately be Wakka. He's quirky yet solemn. His 'faith' in Yevon is his devotion to Macs and logic. He's my big brother figure, and really, my big brother. He doesn't play Blitzball, but the way he acts, you could almost swear that Go is his Blitzball =}
Jeff.. he would be Lulu. Not to say he's a girl or has big boobs, but playing with the gender roles, if I'm to be Yuna and Lulu was Yuna's "big sister", then Jeff would be my Lulu as my "brother", since he's always defended my point of view as a younger sibling. He seems to understand the side and point of view I take and I appreciate it a lot.
Auron would be Sean. Sean has always seemed so much older and wiser than me.. so much more worldly. He may not think so though =} He's such a goofball when he wants to be, but whenever I look at him, he seems always so tough and stoic. I think that's cool about him, even though I've been a total idiot at times.
Kingsley would be Kimarhi, if Kimarhi were not only buff, but random and funny as all hell =} Kingsley has always been the silent protector, always listening to my problems, always being there for me. He always has something that helps cheer me up, but unlike Kimarhi, Kingsley has so much humor in him. =}
E-chan would be Rikku. She's happy and hyper and even when she's sad, she tries so hard to smile. She's always believed in me and always tries to do the right thing. Even when I'm a total idiot, she's still there for me and has been my friend through a lot of things.
A-sama.. he's Cid. Not that he's unimportant... far from it! Cid is a secondary character, sadly, but in the game, he's a technological wizard and Yuna's uncle. Not that.. A-sama is my uncle.. but he's always been supportive like one. He always comes along when I drag him to strange food places. He's always the wizard with all the software and toys that I wish I had =} And even when I'm being a total asshole, he still listens to me and sticks with me until I figure out how much of an asshole I've been. =}
Jon's not on this list because I can't find a parallel to him in the game. But he's definately one of my friends and I'd want him as a guardian. I guess he best fits a summon.. someone like Valefor, even though I'm sure he'd wanna be Shiva =} He gives me his strength when I need it and helps me fight the battles I don't always have the strength to fight myself. Thanks =}
There are so many people out there I wish I could have as guardians, but there aren't any more characters to have. I haven't talked to PiJaye or Leah in a long time, but I would gladly put my life in their hands. George and Amanda are good friends who I have strong faith in. Stu and Heather seem to have very level heads on their shoulders too =} Even people I don't even "see" like Jet and Vaz... or my close friends from college, W4, Jason, or Will.. they were all people I could trust and wish I could spend more time with.
Bah, this sounds so cheesy... but it'd sound even more cheesy in real life... so... everyone, thanks... and wish me luck in the future. Hopefully, I'll make it ^_^
