#@$&ing butterflies!

mousmeI hate the butterflies. I hate them with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns. I can't get past six butterflies in the first section, and I don't think I've even made it to four in the second. The first one is all the more frustrating because I run out of time even when I don't hit any red butterflies. ARGH!
#@$&ing butterflies!
Also, the chocobo races are evil. EVIL!
I'm tempted to believe that all the people who say they've managed these side quests are lying like cheap rugs, but the more rational part of me (the one that has prevented me from throwing my controller at the wall out of frustration, for instance) insists that it must be possible.
As things stand right now, I have five of the seven celestial weapons, and three of them are fully charged. I expect that I should be able to fully charge at least once more. After that come the finicky and/or hard and/or "Dear God I Have To Play How Much Blitzball?" challenges to get all three elements for the Celestial Weapons.
To recap my progress, for those of you who A) know what I'm talking about, and B) actually care (I realize that this may be a grand total of three or four people), here's what I've managed:
1- Tidus
I have the Sun Crest. It wasn't hard to get. The Chocobo races, however, are a bitch. So that's all I have. No Sun Sigil, and no Caladbolg (why, oh why did they name it after a Celtic myth? Why?)
2- Yuna
I have all three elements, and thus Nirvana is fully charged. Yay for 1MP cost!
3- Auron
I have all three elements there too, so Masamune is fully charged. Yay!
4- Kimahri
I have the Spirit Lance and the Saturn Crest. #@$&ing butterflies!
5- Wakka
I have the Jupiter Crest. Everything else is Blitzball, which I've studiously ignored throughout this game. I haven't decided yet if I have the patience to play 250+ games *and* try to win them all. I lost ignominiously the only time I played.
6- Lulu
Fully-charged Onion Knight! Yay! (Also, I can't help but think of George R. R. Martin whenever I see the term)
7- Rikku
I have Godshand and the Mercury Crest. I am considering taking a break from the butterflies to go try the Cactuar challenge. From what I understand it's not nearly as hard as the butterflies or the chocobo racing.
Hey, does anyone remember if you can get *out* of the inside of Sin (to complete the training area challenge) or does that automatically bring on the final showdown?
Anyway, yeah. Totally obsessed, here. :)
