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?

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.

Penultimate blag post to my birthday blag post.

Hello, all.

This has been one of those weeks where SO MUCH STUFF HAS HAPPENED so I have no clue what to say here. I've forgotten most of it because I'm terribly unreliable when it comes to updating these things.

Uh, car search is still ongoing, birthday coming up (More on that in a second), and I've been playing Left 4 Dead 2 a lot. School has been school, I guess. Blah, I don't know what to talk about.

I'll talk about my birthday. This weekend is going to be awesome. I'm headed home Friday afternoon, celebrating my birthday with friends on Saturday afternoon, going out with Emily Saturday night, and hanging out with Emily Sunday morning and afternoon. It's gonna be awesome.


Also, I'm really sorry for how short and uninformative this is, I just don't have it in me to blag right now. I'm sorry, internet. I'm sorry for not blagging.
