Thought of the day.

When I realized I was eating aborted chickens, eggs suddenly became that much more delicious.

---

Yes, that's all.

I'm so bored.

... and there's nothing I want to do.

How do I get out more?

re: uhm.

I had a post written, but subsequently decided self-mockery would be more amusing.

Thus, here is the condensed version of the post you do not see:

"I am not deep because I am boring lol."

I should have just practiced piano instead; exam's the day after tomorrow.

The weather was nice today.

1. Wait for a completely cloudless blue sky.

2. Go outside.

3. Turn upside-down.




4. . . .




5. We're pretty small, aren't we?

---

How unsettling.

---

The universe is big.

We're stuck on a rock.

The rock is tiny.

The rock dwarfs us.

We suck.

---

In other news, the weather really was nice today.

Being legitimately upside-down really will make everything look about ten times bigger. Ever thought your (room/house/space) was small? Flip upside-down! NOW IT ISN'T.

It also makes everything really trippy and fun. Whee, blood to the head!

A few things.

So I went to A Taste of the Danforth the other day.

It was salty.

Greek food is very salty. Flaming cheese is amusing but expensive. The lamb souvlaki did not taste like lamb, but the potato was delicious.

Crowds are fun, though, when I can see things other than people's backs.

---

Formula pattern scales must die.

Arpeggios must die.

Cadences must die.

Squeaky pedals and off-tune pianos must die.

Mostly the formula pattern scales, though.

---

On the bright side, my Shuckle will be more useful with the release of Gen 5! Yayyyy.

Breeding Pikachu is taking a long time. Stupid Natures. Stupid IV system.

---

Sheet music is expensive.

Maybe I'll start playing an MMORPG again after piano exam...? Or I'll continue with Pokémon... it's pretty boring making battle teams without anyone to actually battle, though.

I think I just got my good Shuckle.

It most likely has a perfect HP IV and has a very good to perfect Special Defense IV. For some reason, it also has a very good to perfect Attack IV. :D

However, its Defense IV may or may not be crap.

Its Bold nature should make up for it, though. ♥

I named it Hucklebery.

It is going to be the best non-competitive Shuckle ever.

Also, I have nineteen other Shuckle, all but one of which have the Sturdy ability and most of which are available for giveaway.

Let's share our thoughts on yaoi!

Or not.

---

So Fandi made a post about her faith and what it means to her, and she had some questions that she wanted answered. And, since Fandi cares about it, I'll try to swear less on this blog. ♥ Fanderson's such a good person. ._.;

---

Please consider anything beyond this point merely a matter of my opinion. A-and please respond to it in some way or other? I don't want to be shouting into empty space. Feels bad, man. ;_;

I think that 'reality', 'good', 'justice', 'belief', 'love', even for the sake of argument 'profanity', etc. are subjective concepts. They're individual to each person. The common definitions of these terms are thoughts consciously or subconsciously agreed upon by a number of people and then perpetuated throughout a society. To paraphrase this: the law is not considered just by everyone; I'm not you. My justice is not your justice is probably not the justice of extremist (fill-in-your-desired-plural-noun-here).

Similarly, these concepts change over time. In first grade, 'dumb' was a terrible word and the worst thing you could call anybody. Now it's just a word used to describe something you mildly dislike. The justice of five hundred years previous is different from the justice now.

A person can only understand their own concept of reality, so I accept my reality as mine, and yours as yours. These things might change, and they might not. If you think you exist, you might as well. That's how it is.

---

About Christianity/religion in general?

It's something that other people believe in. To me, religion is something interesting both in theory and in practice, but it's not how I define my reality. If you're religious, I respect your willpower and faith and I'll try to sympathize with your viewpoint. (To clarify: "if you're religious, that's cool. If you're not, that's cool. If you don't know, that's cool.")

I understand that your 'reality' is not mine. To you or perhaps a third person, the non-religious might really be in need of salvation. For you/third person, that's how it is. I'm fine with that. I'm not you, after all. (Probably.)

About Fandi believing in Christianity?

Well, her general view on life seems brighter now. If it's made her happy, then that's good. Fandi's choice is Fandi's choice.

Faith discussion?

I find it interesting and would appreciate learning more. Enthusiastic people are fun to be around. If it gets awkward, it's not you, it's me and my lack of social skills.

It would be fun to meet some of the (apparently really nice) people from Fandi's church, but if the event is explicitly very religious, I just think someone else would be better able to appreciate it. ._.;

You don't have to feel anxious. Also, anxiety leads to stress leads to heart attacks and Fandi dying of stress would be terrible.

---

tl;dr I am a waffle who waffles and is never offended.

On a lighter note: anyone want a Shuckle? I have 19, with more on the way. Of the current 19, all but 2 of them are protected against 1-hit KOs. All of them have natures that don't inhibit Defense and Special Defense growth, and I know at least one has a perfect HP IV.

No, seriously, I'm giving them away. The one I'm trying for is a Bold Shuckle with ability Sturdy, perfect HP IV and decent Def/Sp. Def IVs. It's going to take a while and I have a lot of Shuckle even when keeping about 1 out of every 5 ones hatched.

I want Pokemon friends. Bert doesn't play (he would be a scary Pokemon competitive player, would probably IV breed, abuse the RNG and everything) and Clarence ragequits.

"Nobody checks here"

... should be an injoke.

Whenever anybody says this, everyone else pops in to contradict them.

---

Rachel's right about the poisons and burns.

I want an Eeveelution team. It might not be the strongest or the most balanced, but it would be the most adorable. Garchomp and Empoleon get painful to look at after awhile.

Why are Ditto so rare? I'm using the radar and everything, but all I get is stupid Floatzel. Am I doing something wrong?

Shuckle breeding is taking a long time.

---

Yesterday, our car exploded, so we had to call CAA and a tow truck.

Okay, it didn't explode.

The axel of the front wheel broke off. Luckily, we were not yet on the highway at that point and were instead on a quiet suburban road.

So everyone was alright, mostly.

The only casualty (except for the car) was me, kind of, because I gained five mosquito bites while waiting for my dad to pick us up. If I hadn't been wearing jeans, I would have had more.

I will never go camping. The mosquitos will eat me alive.

Fucking mosquitos.

Everyday life, I guess.

I wonder what the world would be like if it was squishier, and everything was softer and moldable and, well. You could squish it.

I guess I'd like it because it would give me at least an illusion of control.

Oh, and our bones would be weaker, but that's that.

---

I will probably pass my piano exam this time around! I passed the mock exam with 66.5%, which is... terrible, actually.

Well, you can't have everything.

As a result of this, I am now able to violate copyright law and listen to classical music illegally.

Yay, illegal classical music. Next thing you know they're going to send the classical music mafia after me.

They'd be snazzy-looking, too, in their pristine black suits and little bow ties! And they'd be known for their outrageous level of violins. And for blowing their instruments really skillfully...

. . .

... that tangent is stopping here.

---

I want a Shuckle. It will know Rest, Substitute, Toxic, and Stealth Rock. It will be perfectly EV trained in HP and have the remainder of its EVs split between Defense and Special Defense.

It will wall everything, except for poisons and burns.

IV breeding is way too troublesome, unless I find some way to figure it out. For one thing, there isn't even a reliable method to figure them out...

---

I'm still holding out for a squishier world here.

A change would be nice.

some things I have wanted to say for a while but unfortunately this is reality

This started out serious, but it kind of devolved:

4. I'm sorry I lied.
5. I'm not sorry I lied.
6. Well, yes, I lied. Who wouldn't?
7. I'm happy you didn't notice that I lied.
8. I'm disappointed that you didn't notice that I lied.
9. It's kind of funny that you didn't notice that I lied but I'm lying right now so it would be rather strange to laugh.
10. I LIED, MOTHERFUCKER.

... yeah.

Maybe I'll try again next time.

I am either content or bored.

Because, really, what's the difference (if you think about it enough)?

I should probably get a hobby. Any suggestions? (Disclaimer: I have no talent at photography, sadly. Believe me, I've tried.)

Writing is embarrassing. It's kind of like letting other people peek at your internal organs, except sometimes you lie about it and dye them purple or something to make them more exciting beforehand.

I've passed Careers and also Civics, probably, but am rather more doubtful about my upcoming piano exam.

I need to get out more. Somebody take me somewhere. ._.;

Oh, and I watched Despicable Me yesterday! It was good, although I admit I liked the beginning the best. The minions were pretty cute, but 3D kind of makes my eyes hurt.

My everyday life is kind of boring, isn't it? I should host a party and upload some pictures, or something. I heard that's all the rage nowadays.

---

So I met a guy whom I will call Smile online yesterday. He is apparently from England, apparently seventeen and kind of cute, and apparently a stoner. He also has some knowledge of Pokemon and apparently played the original Gold.

Unfortunately, he calls himself "depressive" and seems as easily impressed as everybody else. On the plus side, he gave me ten brownie points and told me about his textured wallpaper and pet traffic cone.

The traffic cone was kind of odd.

Since he admitted to having sociopathic tendencies and shows some common slip-ups in his presentation of himself online, he's most likely a normal, sane person who just happens to have a pet traffic cone and writes on his wallpaper in permanent marker.

Otherwise, he's a really fucking smart sociopath.

I love the Internet.

so I didn't think you would notice this.

If you did, thanks, I guess.

So, um, we might as well start. I'm not very good at expressing myself honestly, but it's so easy to lie.

But in light of all the uselessly sentimental (you're lying, aren't you? You always are, and stop it I can see straight through you it's disgusting how you all act - ) revelations that have been posted recently...

... I don't know. See, I told you so, it would be better if I lied. "I love you guys all so much." "You mean the world to me." Feed them the lines and they'll spit out the results. It's so predictable, except for when it isn't.

Maybe I'm a sociopath, but probably not. This normal, right? Normal, it has to be, that's how I am...

... so I think it would be better if we just - we're all just growing up.

Because it can't be helped.

That's how it is.

- because it would be better that way. It's fine, right?

We can still change.

Help.

Disclaimer: The above was all a lie. This was a social experiment. I'm just bored, really. Really. (Any resemblance to persons living or dead is coincidental and should be ignored, and I'm sane in reality you should see me in real life I am the sanest and most honest person you will ever meet this is not a lie.)

um. Really. No. Seriously. I'm sane. And, uh. Honest. In real life. Really, so. Yeah.

---

Happy, uh, August Fool's?

I have absolutely no excuse for this.
