Is this the title?

Hello, blog readers, I'm playing around with posting from my phone. I don't like standard SMS posting, because it doesn't include a title. I'll try email! I'll attach a photo, too, just to see.

5 Months

It's been wonderful having Emily back in town. I've spent just about all of my time over at her house! :D

We saw Inception and Rocky Horror on Saturday, we've played a lot of Apples to Apples (We've tied both games. :3 ), and it's just been great having her back. I've missed her so much. She gets her wisdom teeth today. :/

I remember getting mine out. It wasn't that bad, but it was definitely not the best experience. I hope things go well. She's actually on her way to the dentist right now.
What a great way to spend our 5-month anniversary, eh?

Also, I have some news on the Nuzlocke front.
I beat Whitney without any of my Pokemon dying! :D It was a tough fight, but I managed to pull through. :3
...But then FUCK YEAH got killed by an unlucky Critical Hit on our way up to Ecruteak City. ;____;
Emily had to give me a hug, I was so sad. :'( This is my first Pokemon that's died since Sprout Tower, and the first one I've been really attached to! To make things worse, he was only a level or two away from evolving. :/

My team now is this:

Combo, the Slowpoke, level 10
Shandi, the Sandslash, level 22
Georgia, the Geodude, level 18
Togebrii, the Togepi, level 17
Isabella, the Quilava, level 19
Zippity, the Flaafy, level 17.

I also have a Metapod, Rattata, Nidoran (F), Sunkern, Sudowoodo, and the Stantler that killed FUCK YEAH in my box, too, all usable.
Well, I'm in Ecruteak City now, and I'll probably be training a bit to get my whole team as close to level 20 as possible before the gym fight. Without FUCK YEAH, this will be a hard gym. :/

If life gives you Nuzlocke...

Okay, busy weekend is over. All of my awesome family has left, things have slowly returned to normal. :3

I sorted out some band issues with the school yesterday. Apparently, I forgot to tell them I planned to be in band. So I had to call them yesterday. Ooops!

But you guys don't care about that. You guys just care about my Heart Gold run, don't you? DON'T YOU?!
Well, I'm not one to disappoint. I made it through Union Cave and into Azalea. I didn't fight any wild Pokemon on Route 33 or in Slowpoke Well (In case I want to come back later, I guess), I took down Team Rocket and my Rival (God, Silver had much higher levels than me! D:), and managed to do it all without losing anybody.

My team right now:

Shandi (The Sandshrew), level 12
Zippity (The Flaafy), level 15
Isabella (The Quilava), level 15
FUCK YEAH (The Zubat), level 13
Georgia (The Geodude), level 13
Togebrii (The Togepi), level 13

I'm in the Gym right now. Hopefully I can take them down easily enough. I plan on using mostly Georgia and Isabella, I think. Shandi also knows Rock Tomb, which will help.

Also, after Togebrii hatched, I was walking back to New Bark Town to show it to Elm. As I ventured through the grass, I found a shiny Sentret. I broke the rules of my run momentarily to catch it. I don't plan on using it, it just went right into the Box. But still... fuck yeah, dudes. I named it Atton. My logic: Sentret sounds kind of like Sentinel. Sentinel made me think of Jedi Sentinels (one of the three classes of Jedi) and that made me think of Atton Rand, who you can turn into a Sentinel in KotOR2. So yeah. Complicated names! :D


Well, Emily comes home in just two more days. God, I'm so excited. ^.^
And, in about an hour, I'm going to lunch with Sam. Good times.

Welcome home, son.

It is 4:15 and I am still awake.

Playing Pokemon, no less. I haven't been playing too much, unfortunately. But I've made some progress, at least. An update: Edgar died to a Crit in Sprout Tower. :'( I trained a bit, picked up the Event Jirachi (It's in the PC, don't really feel like using it), eventually went to the gym. Almost lost FUCK YEAH to a Fury Attack, but he survived. :3

Solo'd Falkner with Georgia, just spammed Rock Throw. Lulz, easy as hell. I got the Togepi egg, and luckily for me, managed to get a MAREEP, so I am EXCITED. I named it Zippity. So my team, as of right now, is as follows:

Isabella, level 14
Georgia, level 13
FUCK YEAH, level 10
Zippity, level 8
Egg


Not bad. On my way to Union Cave now!



Also, my grandmother's surprise party was today. I had literally all of my family on my mother's side here. It was ridiculous, I love my family so so much. Not going into details right now, so fuck off. :3

I'm going to bed. Might post tomorrow.

Nuzlocke

So, it's been a while since I've blogged. But that's mostly because there hasn't been anything worth blogging about. I don't think you'd want twelve posts saying that I woke up, played Left 4 Dead 2, ate a sandwich, played more Left 4 Dead 2, ate dinner, played more L4D2, and went to bed. Because that's basically what I've been doing.

Of course, that's extremely oversimplified, but the point still stands.

Regardless, I'm posting now because I actually have something to post about!

Today is my Grandmother's 80th birthday! I'm going to run by her house later today to drop off a card for her and talk for a bit. :3
Her party's on Saturday, and I can't wait.


In the next few days, I have a lot of stuff to do. I need to pick up my room for when Matt (My cousin) comes over, clean out my car, mow the lawn (again), edge, lay some more bricks in the back yard, laundry, school stuff... Is that it? I'm sure there's more. Oh well, I'm sure my mother will remind me that I'm being lazy and give me more stuff to do.


On an unrelated note, I'm starting my Nuzlocke run in Pokemon Heart Gold. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's essentially a challenge run. You can only catch the first Pokemon you find in each area, and once a Pokemon faints, you have to release it. There are more rules if you want to make it more challenging, but I'm just going by the basic framework.




I picked Cyndaquil for my starter (Named her Isabella!) and eventually caught a female Geodude (Named Georgia) who KICKS ASS, a female Pidgey (I nicknamed Cherry. :3 It died. ;__; ), a female Zubat, aptly named FUCK YEAH, and I just caught my first male pokemon, a Rattata named Edgar. I'm in Sprout Tower right now, gonna challenge the gym pretty soon.

I think that's everything? I'll be blogging more often about my run and my Grandma's party soon, so... expect more posts. Woo?

Fairhope Fireworks Finale

FUCK YEAH AMERICA

First and foremost, Happy Birthday Sarah!

So, yesterday was Fuck Yeah America Day. Also called Independence Day and The Fourth of July. Which is dumb.

But before I can tell you about THAT, I have to tell you about THIS.

Saturday: Soccer Day. 9:00 CST- Germany v Argentina. 1:30 CST- Spain v Paraguay.

So, we all showed up at Macey's house at about 8:30. We being Wally, Erin, Kathy, Macey, and Myself. Vuvuzelas and coffee ready, we sat down to cheer for the match. I was also logged into Chatzy so I could talk to Tori during the game. First up, Germany vs Argentina.

FOR GERMANY: Me, Macey, Erin
FOR ARGENTINA: Wally, Kathy, Tori
VICTOR: Germany, in a COMPLETE RAPE of 4-0. Many lulz were had, and lots of cheering from Macey and me.

Then, to pass time until the next match, we rented the first book of Avatar: The Last Airbender and watched some of that. Some other people started showing up (Payton, Emily, Mrs. Michelle), and we got ready for the next game.

FOR SPAIN: Kathy, Mrs. Michelle, Tori
FOR PARAGUAY: Me, Erin, Macey, Wally
HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS GOING ON: Payton, Emily
VICTOR: Spain, in an intense match. Final score was 1-0. I almost had a HEART ATTACK like SEVEN TIMES because of penalty kicks and fouls. It was a great match, even if we lost.

I was also talking to Mrs. Davis on the phone- she was keeping me up to date on Brad (Mr. Davis, a huge soccer nut) and many lulz were had there, too.

After the games, I went home and we had a nice dinner with family and friends! :D
My Aunt Sue and my cousin Nikki showed up, along with my grandma and grandpa,and the Davis family (Minus Emily, of course). We grilled steaks and had an assortment of other delicious foods! Good shit. I spent most of the evening with Aunt Sue and Emily's parents. Witty conversation is awesome. :3


And then, at last, it was FUCK YEAH AMERICA DAY. Rather uneventful at first, to be honest. Church (Nate/Shandi/Halle were there! :D ), then Cleveland came over and we chilled at my house. At about six we bought some fireworks (Lame stuff, mostly. Water Dynamite and Whirrers), got some Ice Cream, and headed to the Yacht Club. We all sailed out into Mobile Bay to watch the fireworks! They launch from the pier every year, so we always go out to watch from the water. Much better than watching from shore.

We had a pretty full boat! My Aunt Kathy and Uncle Rick, Mum and Dad, Sarah, Cleveland, Kathy, me, Tully, and Mr. Garner all showed up! We had various snacks and we got in trouble with the coast guard for shooting off fireworks so close to other people! :D
The fireworks started at 9:00. It was a decent show, but once the "finale" ended, we were a bit confused- they were still shooting off fireworks, but only one or two every four or five minutes. It was weird. And then three fireworks exploded ON THE PIER without being launched (Within a span of about 20 minutes, not all at once) and the pier caught on fire and ambulances came and all of us were like "wut."
We think someone died, but we don't know.


So, we came back to shore, Cleveland spent the night, and now it's Sarah's birthday. All in all, a good weekend.

Busy week, busy weekend.

A few things.

First of all, DON'T go see The Last Airbender. It was horrible horrible horrible. Horrible. If you want to know why, go read some of the reviews on it- It has something like a 5% on RT. Now, I'm not normally one to recommend Movie Reviews, but in this case, they can explain why it's bad much better than I can. As I watched the movie, I was kind of caught up in it, thinking stuff like "Oh, this isn't too bad..." but then once it ended and we were leaving the theatre, it hit me. And I died a little on the inside.

I've been a bit busy the past few days. I've had a lot of yard work and house work keeping me occupied. Mowed the lawn, moved and set a ton (literally) of bricks, cleaned my room, cooked dinner for the family, helped set up for Sarah's birthday party, organise people for Game Night and Game Day (Too bad Game Night was cancelled. All my work for nothing! D:) and then probably a few more things I'm forgetting. But I got paid for a lot of that (Mostly the bricks), so it's fine.

Sarah's birthday party is tonight. She's turning 14. Her actual birthday isn't until Monday, the 5th, but this is more convenient, I guess. I'm being kicked out of the house during the party. :(
I got her the Glee soundtrack as a present. I hope she likes it! :)

I'm headed over to Emily's house in just over an hour to go kayaking with some people. It's gonna be fun! :D

Tonight was going to be a Game Night at Macey's, but she texted me this morning and essentially cancelled it. But we're all still coming over to her house tomorrow for the soccer games! Argentina vs Germany at 9:00 CST, Spain vs Paraguay at 1:30! She ordered us some vuvuzelas, hopefully they'll come in by then. :3


I think that's everything? I'll be posting more in the near future, I swear.
