I really want to challenge the League ASAP, but I have yet to finish my team. Such a shame too. I just need one Pokémon from the DW and I can speed my way to finishing my training. Too bad that Pokémon I need needs 10K DW points just to be found, then I have to get the proper nature....

I've wondered whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that I can now recite the lyrics of Gangnam Style off my memory these days.

I was in a real good "tonight's the night right here right now I swear" mood for trading over my objects of affection (of which there are very few) from HeartGold to Platinum so that I may restart it. But then I saw the only thing that was stopping me, the only legendary that I had not caught; Rayquaza. Why? Because I STILL NEED IT TO BE BLACK. So now I have to wait until it is shiny so I CAN restart. But this time I am DETERMINED! I will NOT give up!

Well you're looking at Mr. Cold Blooded right here. If it gets cold, I AM cold, but I don't find it an issue to me. I adapt well to the cold, and Winter is my favorite season,s

Well.. A new position in the league has opened up. Is anyone else planning on applying? I think I might regret applying for Gym Leader only because I want to become an Elite Four Member... :s

What is life without a little crazy? Thanksgiving is only in a couple of days, and I'm already preparing myself for the feast ahead. I'm starving myself on purpose, and I only ate about 3 or 4 food ITEMS today, compared to my usual~30. I had to sell the contents of my lunch so that I wouldn't be able to pig out like I usually do, and I made about 5 or 6 bucks, so score. All I know is that this reeeaaaally hurts my stomach, but I have to be able to eat EVERYTHING I grab at the table this year. And I always grab EVERYTHING on the table every year.

I'm going to attempt to apply, but everyone who is applying needs to remember something. The gym league is looking for someone who is rank 5 material. In other words, they will be looking for someone who is not too tough, but also not too weak because Gym #5 is stuck in the middle in terms of difficulty.
Oh, and I'm applying to be a Water type gym leader.

Actually, if I read Spirit's post correctly, the new gym leader will be ranked properly according to Spirit's and Aura's decisions, so the new leader could be any rank from 1 to 8 and the other leaders will be shifted accordingly.

Yep, that's the deal. I hope I make it, but I wouldn't mind if I dont. Besides, i can always go for Elite Four!

Relaxing on my bed feels very good after almost the entire day outside, walking around. Don't you agree?

Try standing out in a cold storm for the whole day. It's seriously not bad. It's all so calming after a while.

My brother tried to take my copy of Diablo 2. So I walked up to him and flipped a table right in front of him then walked away.

I just read to about 350 of the Holder series. I enjoy having a sense of humour that completely ruins any terrifyingness.

The only anime I can truly reference is Fullmetal Alchemist. No one would understand my Nerima Daikon Brothers references, if I can actually make any.

I'll say. When I went to sleep last night, my walls were white. When I woke up, the walls were still white. This uncanny consistency warrants further investigation...

You can't blame him for wanting to talk about technology, he's really good with that. I'd talk more technology iffin I knew more about it. (And I really want to ;~; )

Considering no one has texted me in a loooong while, I'm pretty sure more people hate me, Phanny. Besides, I like to give people reasons to hate me. For FUN~!

I haven't gotten texts in a while too. I think my IRL friends are starting to forget about me. Then again, I do like spending a little more time with people on here than in IRL. After this year, I'm probably not going to be seeing most of my friends again since we're going to college.

A friend of mine who's in college right now said that's how it normally is. She said she doesn't talk to a majority of people she was friends with in high school anymore. She also said that you meet a lot of new people in college though, so it balances out.

Also, I've finally managed to get all the Shards I need for move tutors. In four hours, I managed to get these amounts of shards via dust clouds in Reversal Mountain:
Red - 47
Green - 39
Yellow - 38
Blue - 28

Can you take a guess as to what I needed the most?

Going to college is just like going to a new school. Lose touch with the people that you used to know, but you'll be meeting a bunch of new other folks as well. But hey, if you have some really good friends you should at least try to keep in touch with them somehow. The internet is magical.

Oooh ooh ooh! Is it green? I know it's green! It's totally green, you don't have to lie to me! Strangely, I always found dust clouds as a poor way of getting shards. Always running into a Drilbur or something or other every few seconds. But hey, you still haven't beaten the game yet.

Well, I only have six badges and I was getting quite a bit of shards, as you could see. I really needed to shards so I can teach 3 moves to a couple of my Gym Team Pokémon. I just had my fastest Pokémon out front to run away from the Excadrill that appeared from time to time. Just keep the Max Repels up - I bought 99 of them before I started my dust cloud spree, so I wouldn't run out.

Nobody ever texts me. But my phone does have always-on Facebook chat, so there's that.

Maybe it's because nobody around me bothers with old-school texting as long as they're Facebook friends...

I'm much the same way, minus the part about Facebook, since I don't have one. I never receive texts, only when I text someone else do I get replies - and I don't text hardly at all. I think the last time I sent a text message to someone was in the summer.

I don't do the Facebook chat on my phone thing. People don't even want to do that with me when I'm on the computer, even. Even though I really dislike calling, there's one person who calls me every other weekend or so. He's the guy who initially got me interested in Pokémon, but now I'm a bigger PokeManiac than him Funny how that turned out.

I prefer to text people than to call them. I never really liked talking on the telephone, it's usually better for me if I can see the person who I'm talking to.

Calling on the phone gives a greater chance of brain cancer than texting. Just saying.

You think I'd be able to make small talk with people over the phone? Not even a little. I have trouble speaking, but I excel at writing and typing conversations.

Actually, a study debunked that myth. In fact, if anything, you're more likely to get kidney cancer from carrying it in your pocket all day than brain cancer from talking on it.

Anything gives you cancer now a days. It got to the point where it doesn't even matter what gives what part cancer, I just lived with it.

I prefer talking with text in any way, shape, or form over any other methods of conversing. Next is talking to someone face to face, and that's when I just can't do it anymore. I'm prone to causing large periods of awkward silence when I'm not in a large group or with a good conversationalist.

I'm no longer afraid of the cancer threat in phones. I've been using them for years and it's not like I'm gonna stop anytime soon.

Cancer threat?

Deal with it. Not that it matters, what with radio waves being all over the world and nothing ever changes. It's just that life expectancy just got a whole lot longer than it was over a hundred years ago due to modern medicine and lifestyle... Which also means that a lot of "old-age" diseases get to surface.

Really, sometimes you get lucky, sometimes not.

Even if it did give you brain cancer, I only talk on my cellphone for extended periods of time (over 1 hour) when I'm at home. When I'm at home, I prefer to use my headset, so my phone isn't even near my ear. And that happens once a day, because while texting is fine and dandy, if I can talk on the phone with JJ, I'd choose that any day over texting.

You know, if mobile phones really gives us cancer for some reason, due to the way it's used, there should already be a bajillion cases of it. We don't.

Me, I use my phone for web browsing. Forums FTW!

The more I live in where I am now, the more I realize that things are the same and yet different.

All this talk of cancer reminds me that research has found out that there is a small amount of carcinogens in cans of soda pop. However, the amount is so small, that you'd have to drink over 1,000 cans a week just to even be at risk for cancer. You're more likely to contract and die of diabetes than contract and die of cancer by drinking that much pop.

I bought a Power Ball ticket today because it's half a billion, the odds of me being dead before they call the numbers are lowering then the odds of me actually winning.

You're more likely to get hit by a bus, a train, a car, and a unicycle in the same day than to win the lottery.

I like unicycles so I do like those odds.

Now I just need to stand in the street then.

Okay, I may sound stupid, but I use metric system, so, do you mean 113 lbs or Kg? If the latter, then you are obese and you may need to go to a nutritionist. If in lbs, then what is your height?

I don't really care about my weight. I'm very weighty, but I know that there are worse.

The problem of overweight or obesity is not what people think or make fun of, but the health troubles that tag along. If someone needs to be concerned about his weight, then he/she better does that for the sake of his/her circulatory system and skeletal system.

I've always forgotten how tall I actually am.

Last time I measured it, I get 1.72 m, which should be around... 5' 7.7".

I'm 18 and I've been 5'9" since I was 14.

I really need to get my drivers license soon so I can get a chance to start going to the gym more often, I'm starting to loose my muscle mass.

Your BMI is 19.4, which is normal weight. Any less than that and it would become underweight. So, you better not think of losing any mass. It would be better for you to add some actually; you would look healthier.

I'd say 113 lbs is a fine weight. I wouldn't try to lose anymore than that, especially at 5' 4". I can't imagine why you'd want to lose anymore weight.

I hope you know that at your current weight and height, you're rather underweight. The average at that height and age is between 130 and 155. Are you in a Featherweight division for wrestling or is your coach just insane?

Most wrestling coaches are insane...
One of my friends wrestles and he had to eat nothing but a small salad and a ton of water for about a week and a half to lose weight. There are two reasons why I will never wrestle:
1. I am on the heavy side >_<
2. I will go crazy if I ever get put on a diet like that.

Something's not right there. Can't tell what it could be... maybe it's everyone around you being underweight. Maybe I'm just backwards.

Pfft, and I wanted to be on the wrestling team next year. I hope they don't get too crazy about my weight, because if they ask me to go on some sort of hippie diet I'm just going to immediately quit and never turn back. Eating salad is just... wrong to me.

Also, I recently got The Beatles Love Album. What I thought was originally another album spawned by a trip, it was actually released in 2006. Never knew that. I love everything about it, especially the bass groove that was brought out more in Hey Jude. The only thing about it that I hate is that I missed the Cirque du Soleil that I missed that the album was mixed for. Although it WAS in 2006, I wasn't into music as much as I am now.

I am with Quad in this; your coach is unreasonable. Any less than that and you won't be considered healthy, not to mention suitable for wrestling. And just because the ones around you are underweight, doesn't mean you have to be one...

Indeed. See if you can talk some sense to your coach - getting under that weight is probably something you will regret. Don't look around you - just look at yourself to get a context.

I was having an amazing day, people even respected me a lot more than usual and made me feel like I was wanted more, but it was all turned to sadness when I finished my book just a second ago. Now I'm a tear-covered mess because of the ending. I'm so emotionally attached.

Oh yay, my most favorite anime~ (As obvious from the avatar.) And since I'm the ultimate fan of it, I know exactly what you're talking about AND I have quotes. I actually made up a challenge for myself. Watch all episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood English subbed and dubbed back to back nonstop. I calculated how much time it would take, and it would just be one simple weekend. The hard part would be getting all those episodes together and finding a perfect time to do this.
(If you haven't guessed by now, mentioning FMA around me is dangerous. Fanboy.)

Hah, I see that now, Turtwig. Mustang's quote gets me every time.
Ah, I remember...    
Mustang: It's a terrible day for rain.
Hawkeye: What do you mean? It's not raining.
Mustang: Yes...it is.

It's also a great metaphor for how Mustang was feeling.

Too many feelings were poured into that episode. Just... just how dare they. Well, more like how dare she. But I guess considering how well it tied in with the plot, it was really necessary for the death... but that doesn't change the fact that it was one of the most emotional episodes of the anime. I even remember little Elicia's quote that broke my heart. Still, the lasting effect on Mustang is definitely seen much later on in the series. Oh my, I'm just bouncing all up and down the timeline relating past to future.

And at the funeral, that's how he felt.

Ah yes, a wise observation. And that one event made something click inside Mustang's head, setting forth a long chain of events that lead all the way up to the last couple of episodes. His entire character can be interpreted as a metaphor if you analyze him the correct way. The way he combats this uselessness from the rain and turns it around causing the death of the undying... whoo, that's just one of the few reasons why COLONEL ROY MUSTANG is my 2nd favorite character. Of course, nothing and no one could ever beat Alphonse.
