Things of Note

I haven't been posting much. Much of that has been due to hanging out with Tezca for the whole day, and then meeting up with her again on Sunday. While I am quite sure only three of you really want to hear about my personal life, as I have only once seen a signpost that looked remotely like Slendy, there is not much else to report.

Sorry to disappoint~

We talked about Marble Hornets, whether or not I should get into EMH despite the chance of being utterly confused... and the blogs. She thought Core Theory was a bunch of idealistic crap that read like a fantasy book. I would like to add that it reads like a rather plausible and well-written fantasy, and the twists in White Elephants were pretty awesome, so our complaints differ.

We also debated Operator Symbol usage in between sweet nothings and myth swaps. I'm sure anyone listening in on the conversation would have been worried about our sanity, as we were getting weird looks the whole time. Might have just been my hair, though.

Regardless, it was fun. I have not lost time nor been teleporting around the place and I managed to get out of the house for two days with no trouble. All in all, it went quite well.

Well, well

I asked Tezca out today. So, uh, this is an official date which means she is my official girlfriend and I hope this goes well.

I shaved my head last week, and though she knows that I did, I am vaguely and irrationally worried that I will put her off instantly when I show up like this. Regardless, with our smog and heat and humidity, it is way cooler than anything else. Besides, now I look very, very butch. Give me a hoodie and I would look like a guy, and this pleases me greatly.

Welcome To my Horde of new followers, regardless of your sanIty. I Snark and mock all equally! Be you alleged proxIeS or sAge or normaL, I wIll bE sure to troll you without any discrimination.

...That was irritating to write. I now have more fodder for a critical post for later.

No Nuzlocke news lately, but I am now on a relatively even footing with the blogosphere and MH to start discussions with Tezca. The lack of video game updates is thanks to you guys and your endless updates and blogs, so I blame you.

I Might Not Like Iced Coffee

But iced chocolate? Awesome.

Talked with Tezca (still debating on this) and I got my first hint.

She described a symbol that apparently has cropped up with a ton of heavy myths recently, and I'm only allowed to check the first page of Google search results. Should be fun.

Interesting

Apparently I have more to look forward to tomorrow than just coffee and a chat.

If my sole follower at the moment has ever read the Redwall books that compromised a part of my childhood, then you know what kind of riddles and treasure hunts I like. Long, cryptic ones. Hints and "Eureka" moments everywhere - that sort of thing.

So my friend (who needs to come up with a handle; I'm too paranoid to use her real name) decided to give me a clue to start me off on some symbolic story on the internet. I'd like to think that I would adore being in an ARG, so I don't mind checking it out.

I'll see what she's come up with tomorrow~

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.
