So, just got to Anor Londo last night. It was so sad seeing how corrupted the interior became because of stupid Aldrich. And then, to top it off, he has the gall to stay where we once fought Ornstein, greatest husbando in the series. He was the most satisfying kill I've had so far, bar none. Basically this just ran through my mind the entire fight:

It took me four tries to beat his drake, then he one shotted me. Then it took me six tries to get past the drake again, then I hit him some, dodged a hit, blocked a hit, and then he one shotted me. Then I went on and off beating and not beating his drake for ages. You made the drake part look so easy! Eventually I went off and farmed up some souls to improve my gear, but also to cool down, because he took me longer to beat than any other boss in the game. I died more to the final boss on my first playthrough, but each death didn't take forever and a day. This was the most time consuming boss for me. /shakes fist

After I upgraded my gear, and restratergized my attack plan, I went in and died to the drake. Then I went in, and beat it like it was nothing. GREAT MAGIC SHIELD IS LOVE, GREAT MAGIC SHIELD IS LIFE!
