Hey Guys

Yeah, guess who is back from camping and hiking? Climbing up rocks right beside a waterfall is fun. Being eaten alive by mosquitoes as soon as you veer away from said waterfall made it easy for me to decide what my favourite spot in the forest was.

No, I did not see the resident Eldritch Abomination there. There were no freaky cults, no blood sacrifice, and they even gave me my hoodie back when I left it at the food court. The worst crime that happened was a woman stealing a watch from Canadian Tire. Pretty damn idyllic, in my opinion.

Given I left you guys with a joke that apparently pissed at least one person (Blanche) off, I apologize for robbing you of the chance to call me a fucktard. No, I am not infected or sick or coughing or seeing tall pale faceless people in swanky suits. Also, I apparently killed someone thanks to being at camp. Sorry about that.

For those interested in what I actually did: campfires, s'mores, the works. I also played a bit of my Nuzlocke and a shitload of Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time. I forgot that it had a plot. I forgot that its plot was fucking amazing. Cue me being glued to the DS for days on end.

Yeah, that's it.

Oh, and Tezca was very happy to see me when I came back. We hung out yesterday after the drive. Even though I was totally exhausted, we managed to have fun~

Yeah, I Was Busy

Um. Part of it was Pokemon Red, though I did grind and beat Falkner in my Nuzlocke - I'm doing pretty well right now.

Bakuphoon - M, Level 16

Impa - F, Level 15

Norima - F, Level 14

Mornir - M, Level 14

Ymir - M, Level 15

Sly - M, Level 13

But, uh, another reason for my silence was that I've been kind of busy being social. I went to the Harry Potter premiere - not at midnight but still, the first day. And it was awesome. And I met this really nice girl there. Like, absurdly nice and geeky and willing to discuss Pokemon challenges and how at the end of the third movie you could wait to see if Harry would say "Nox" at the end of the credits....

You get the gist of it. She likes mythology too! Mostly Scandinavian and fairytale sort of thing - not the modern versions but the Grimm stuff. Black forests and death and cannibalism everywhere. 

So yeah, traded numbers, MSN - we chat a lot. She's a big fan of symbols and different interpretations of them. Like those Japanese and Chinese characters apparently can mean five different things depending on context or minor variations as you write them... and other stuff too, like how snakes are deceitful in western culture but a symbol of guardianship in the east. We're going to meet up next weekend again.

Natsukashii, ne?

Downloaded a Rom of Pokemon Red.

Brb, nostalgia.

Success!

So, I hoped for a Mareep - and I got one. Also, I started theme naming and then realized two of my team don't go with the theme but shh.

It all works together in my head.

Bakuphoon - M, Level 12

Impa - F, Level 11

Norima - F, Level 11

Ymir - M, Level 11

Mornir - M, Level 11

Why yes, Ymir is named for the Ymir forest and that damn fruit from Tales of Symphonia. And its moveset is going to be lacklustre until I get my hands on a Leaf Stone, apparently. Yaaaay. Mornir is named for the Odin-expy in the Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay. Volt, despite being the name of a Summon Spirit, was just too cliché.

Well, Technically Today!

So, started my Nuzlocke run with basic rules and a No Duplicates clause - thanks Blanche, who is also my first and only follower. Welcome to my dreary blog~

Currently still lurking about Cherrygrove - the SoulSilver intro is rather long and takes a while to get to where I can actually catch Pokemon - but I have three now and I'll be doing some major grinding tomorrow. Also, just watched Sucker Punch! My mind is kind of on overdrive now - had to try to balance everything and work out what was going on. Have to admit I really liked it, though. So yeah... my current (horribly weak team):

Bakuphoon - M, Level 11

Impa - F, Level 4

Norima - F, Level 3

Excuse the weird formatting, not exactly sure how to tinker with pictures yet. I didn't have the best luck, as I was hoping for a Pidgey, but Hoothoot can learn some Psychic moves so that'll work well enough, and Norima might be badass if I can keep her around till she evolves. Huh, it is now 12:30, Sunday morning. How ever did that happen?

...Oh yes, TV Tropes.

Well, I started this post at 11:58 so it still counts. Anyways, should turn in. Updates tomorrow if I get the chance!
