Liek Moar Bullet Points Nao Plz

W00t!

• The internetz wins. In just a couple of minutes I managed to download Pokemon Red, Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Gold, Pokemon Silver, Pokemon Crystal, Pokemon FireRed, Pokemon LeafGreen, Breath of Fire, Breath of Fire II, Lufia IV: Ruins of Lore, Sheep, Final Fantasy IV Advance, Final Fantasy V Advance, Final Fantasy VI Advance (OMG!!!), Tales of Phantasia (OMG!!!) and some shitty Power Ranger games for the GB/GBC/GBA. Later I'll get some other goodies for the SNES.
• School is still boring. Maths is alright. English rules. Biology is funny. Art History is meh. Media is scary. Drama sucks.
• I was happy with the outcome of Tocantins. JT definately deserved it. I just shouldn't have changed my guess from JT to Taj. HOWEVER if Erinn had won that last challenge (which she was damn close to) then it may have gone the way I predicted. Or maybe it would've gone in a completely different direction. Who knows? Anyway, I'm looking forward to Samoa.
• Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters and True Blood all rule. I've pretty much forgotten to watch every single episode of Ugly Betty this season because it is on at a stupid time.
• Formal's coming up. Everyone's talking about it like all the time. W00t!
• Melissa is leaving soon :(
• Sadie's Gaming Infection rules.
• Playing through Diamond again. Also want to try and finish Revenant Wings, FFIV, Magical Starsign and Tactics Advance 2. Hoping to get Platinum and Chrono soon.
• Looking forward to HG and SS. They're gonna be awesome.

Okay, that's pretty much it. I didn't actually have that much to say but meh.

TRUE FUCKING BLOOD

Oh god yes. Shit yes. FUCK YES. This show is just so... OH GOD YES. It's just so damn good. YEEEEEEESSS!

Last 2 episodes were kinda meh. But tonight's episode was fucking excellent.

Fuck, I actually don't know what to say because whenever I think about this show all I want to do is make lots of sex noises. Fuuuuuuuuuucckkk...

Okay. Um. God dammit, I don't know what to say.

These characters are so good. SO GOOD. All of them (except for Bill) are just amazing. I'm completely inlove with them. Sookie = Win. Tara = Win. Lafiet = Win. Jason = Win. Sam = Win. EVERYBODY = Win. Bill = Epic. Fucking. Fail.

The murder storyline is brill. Brill-I-Ant. I love it. For the first 3 or summat episode I thought it was Sam. Then I wasn't sure. Recently I started thinking it was Terry (I don't actually know his name so I'm just calling him Terry). And then after tonight's episode it pretty much has to be Terry or Rene. The preview for next week (which is the season finale, WTF???) makes it look like Rene. Like REALLY makes it look like Rene. Which would definately be viable but... They wouldn't give that away in the preview, would they? So it's probably a big old red-herring and it'll be Terry. Or somebody nobody's thought of yet. I don't really care. I already know it's going to be fucking awesome.

Brief comment on Brothers and Sisters

This show has gone from being pretty ave and boring to being fucking awesome again. I remember why I like this show so much. All the new plots are great. And I love how everybody is like evil now and they all sit around plotting evil plans to take over companies and get other people fired. It's so funny! And the new guy (he better come back next ep) is awesome. He is so fucking hawt. Now I don't mean that like in a meh way. I mean that in a he is better looking than most girls. And that doesn't apply to many men. If I was a girl, or if he was gay I would be aaaaalll over that. OMOMOMOM.

It's your fault for running holding diamonds

"I fell while holding diamonds in my hands"

"It's your fault for running holding diamonds"

This quote from Anna Nalick's In the Rough is just one of the many reasons I like that song. Although it sounds a bit strange, it is very true. If you're gonna be stupid and do something, be prepared to suffer the consequences. I'm making an effort to think along these lines. Instead of kicking myself and going "Why didn't THIS happen to me???" I'm going to start kicking myself and going "Why didn't I do something to make this happen???". I think it is a much better way to think about things. It makes me feel more independant and in control. If I don't want to fall holding diamonds, all I have to do is walk slowly :)

Dead or Alive 4

DOA 4 is the most useless boring piece of crap I have ever played. It is exactly the same as the others in the series but worse. Worse storyline (somehow), worse gameplay, and just in general not nearly as enjoyable. When you buy a new installment in a series you want it to be NEW not some dumb piece of shit with lots of silicon. Seriously, the amount of large-breasted woman in this game is ridiculous. DOA had 4, DOA2 had 5, DOA3 had 6 or 7, this one has like 2456890276 of them. And they're all pretty much the same. Seriously, there is almost no difference between half of the characters other than looks (and even then Lei Fang and Kokoro are pretty damn similar) and voices. Although they decided it'd be awesome if they left the voices in Japanese for absolutely no good reason. It was also unbelievably hard. I played through the Campaign mode as Kasumi who was my favourite from DOA2. All of it was pretty easy until the end when I had to fight a crazy Kasumi clone thing. I swear that beating that bitch is impossible. There is absolutely no way to do it. And I was only on normal mode. Ugh. Words cannot express my disappointment over this game. I'll probably never play it again. If I want some good old DOA action I can play the second way which is a million times better.

Survivor Tocantins Finale: Live Thoughts

ARG! Do you know how difficult it is trying to watch this show on the internet without getting accidentally spoilereererredered. VERY DIFFICULT. I may have already spoiled the first immunity challenge and vote-out but we'll see.

Okay, here we go. Shit! Where's part 1??? Meh. Let's just start with part 2, part 1 will just be them all going "OMG! I LIEK CAN'T BELEEVE IMA FINALLY HERE!"

Alright, here we go.

Okay, an immunity challenge. Looks like the one at the Final 5 of Cook Islands which Oz dominated. JT has bag 1. Looks like he's gonna win. Erinn, Stephen, Taj back with bag 1. JT back with bag 2. They only need 3 bags??? Isn't that way too easy? Stephen, Erinn and Taj with bag 2. JT back with bag 3. He's working on the puzzle. "It's a difficult puzzle" says Jeff. Doesn't look that difficult TBH. Stephen's working on the puzzle. Taj and Erinn working on the puzzle. Doesn't matter ladies, looks like JT is gonna win. That blows my theory about JT going home... JT is very close. Erinn is making up a lot of ground. AAH! This is intense. JT WINS IMMUNITY! SHIIIIIT! I was SO hoping Erinn would win that. Oh well :( Looks like that blows my new theory. I still don't think Erinn will be going home. Dunno why but I just imagine her as the 7th member of the jury...

Every congratzes JT. Taj says we're getting rid of Erinn because Jalapao is sticking together. Taj says Erinn has no chance of staying. Erinn tries to get the boys to get Taj, claiming she played a great social game and that they'll all vote for her in the end. Probably true. But then that applies to JT, too. They're all playing up that they don't know what they're doing. Don't fuck with us, it's probably Erinn. I hope not, I love her. If the girls had any brain (which they've proved about 3452390 times that they don't) they would come up with some sorta plan to either force a tie or get rid of Stephen. This is what I would do --> Taj and Erinn tell Stephen and JT that they want to force a tie between themselves. They get Stephen to vote Erinn and JT to vote Taj. Then they vote together to get rid of Stephen. Stephen goes home. Taj and Erinn guarantee themselves in the final 3. But, unfortunately Stephen and JT are the only 2 people in this season who have any kind of REAL strategic ability and Taj and Erinn would not think of that. Off we go to Tribal Council.

"We now bring in the members of the jury. Brendan, Tyson, Sierra, Debbie and Coach voted out at the last tribal council". Jeff asks about all the 3 Jalapaos overpowering the 6 Timbira. Something we're all still confused about. Jeff asks some more questions involving Erinn and her bonds with the Timbira jury. What bonds??? Stephen talks about his vote. Sounds like he's voting for Taj. Weird. JT sounds like he's voting Erinn. Maybe there's gonna be a tie. Who would win that? Taj looks worried. Okay, it's voting time. Erinn votes Taj. Duh. Stephen votes. Taj votes Erinn. Duh. JT votes. Oooh, I'm excited :)

Jeff is reading the votes (Taj looks like she's about to cry); Taj. Erinn. Taj (Oh my God!!!!!!). Taj. Whoah, I didn't see that coming :S. Erinn calmy fixes her glasses. Lol. I love her. Taj says she'll vote for Erinn if she's in the final 2. YAY! I hope she does find a way.

"Liek OMG we're in the final 3" they go. :O:O:O JT says that Erinn is the most annoying person in the world. What does that make Sierra? JT doesn't appear to be as nice as he acts. Stephen complains about Erinn too. Erinn STFU! You're screwing yourself over, hon. The next morning Erinn says how both Stephen and JT want to take her. JT says how he wants to take Stephen, Stephen says he doesn't know, Erinn says she's 100% taking Stephen. Of course. JT isn't shutting up about trust and shit. He sounds like Coach.

W00t @ the Rites of Passages. Not. Fuck, this thing is lame. I DON'T CARE! I just want to watch Erinn and Stephen get owned in the final challenge. This thing is stupid. Watching people cry over people they don't care about FTL. Carolina cries about being first out. Candace bitches about Coach. I sorta liked her. She was funny. Erinn says she wants Jerry to be her dad. Meh, I didn't really care about him. Sandy. LOLOLOLOL. "She definately provided me with one of the more humbling times of my life" says Erinn referring to the time Sandy pulled on her bra and rode her like a donkey. Spencer goes on about how he was soooo young. I really don't think age has anything to do with show. This is what JT says about Sydney, "That was the first HARD vote we had to make". Hahaha! Shame Carolina, Sandy and Spencer. Joe. Meh. Boring. Whatevs. Brendan says that Survivor is a lot harder than it looks. I never buy this when people say it. I mean the physical side is OBVIOUSLY really hard but they always get their ass kicked by the strategic side and I can't believe that the strategy part of this game is hard. I mean, just look at Todd and Parvati and Yul who just go into the game, use a bit of strategy and win. Oh well. Maybe there's something I'm missing. Everyone says how Tyson was nice and sincere (what???) and then he compliments himself a LOT. I loved him. He was funny :). They obviously have nothing to say about Sierra, it must be a bit awkward when that happens. Erinn says that Debbie was the person she was closest too. Which is strange because in an interview Deb says she never really connected with Erinn. That must mean Erinn just hated everyone else like.... COACH. I don't even know what to say about this fellow. JT says he has a lot of respect for Coach which I don't get. I don't respect anything about him, TBH. And here he goes again, talking about greek tragedies. They cry about voting out Taj. Which, BTW I don't really get WHY they did that but whatevs.

Here we are at the final immunity challenge. Probably some endurance thing. No. Something else that is weird. Sounds interesting. It could be cool. And may give Stephen and Erinn a better chance then I thought. Still, I predict a JT win. Oh, something stupid/strage/interesting to note is that when they have the demonstration of the challenge it almost always (as in 97%) shows the winner. See, in the demonstration we saw the Red person doing it. JT is red. So I'm even more confident he's gonna win now. Aaaaand here we go. This challenge is wack. But exciting. It doesn't look that hard though. Of course, I'm not gonna try it in fear of sucking. And because I don't own a huge metal spiral thing. Erinn is out :(. All Erinn can do now is watch and hope. I'm hoping for you too, gal. I love you! Although to be fair, you don't really deserve to win as much as the other two. But who cares because you're awesome. Four balls now. This challenge is starting to look a bit harder. Stephen drops a ball. JT WINS FINAL IMMUNITY! What does that mean? Pretty much that Erinn is gone and that JT is hands down gonna win.

Stephen goes on about how he's happy he didn't win so that he didn't make the hard decision. So he pretty much is happy that he's gonna lose. Erinn says JT taking Stephen would be noble, but much harder. I'm not sure actually. I know I said before that Erinn has no chance in the final 2, but now I don't know. She may do better off than I thought. JT says that Stephen better be scared. Weird.

Okay. Tribal council time. I predict.... Erinn goes home and is the final member of the jury. TAJ!!! She was a honey. Stephen pretty much threatens JT saying that they won't be friends if JT votes him off. Jeff asks whether you take the person you've been loyal to or the person you'll win against. Easy. THE PERSON YOU'LL WIN AGAINST. JT, you didn't come out here to make super loyal BFF pals. You've got them back at home. You came here to win lotsa money. Which you don't have at home. Stephen does more stupid blackmailing and friendship crap. That's stupid. I don't like Stephen anymore.

Voting time. JT votes. Jeff reads the vote. 14th person voted out and the 7th and final member of the jury = Erinn. Nuuuuuuu! JT! WHAT THE HELL!? STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! What was the point in voting out Taj and stuff if you're gonna take Stephen with you? I mean, to be fair you're probably gonna win either way but come on! Erinn says she was a lil surprised but deep-down she knew that JT was gonna do that.

Day 39. JT talks about how everything is wonderful and just how they imagined. Stephen talks about how he's so pleased to be in the final 2 with JT. Blah blah blah. "We dominated the entire game. Physically and socially" Umm... What? I'll admit you dominated STRATEGICALLY. But physically? Socially? You did well but you didn't DOMINATE.

Now I am a bit disappointed that JT and Stephen are the final 2. I never really like either of them. They're both a bit bland and kinda annoying. Also, I think JT is quite fake. And Stephen played the friendship card. He was gonna take you either way, you didn't have to ruin yourself like that. I hate it when they scramble and play the BFFL card. Remember Parvati? She KNEW that Amanda was gonna take her to the end and she didn't be stupid and cry about how they're such good friends and she haaaaas to take her. Sorry, I just had to throw a bit of Parvati-fanboyism in there.

"I don't know which way the jury will vote" says Stephen. I do! They're gonna vote for JT.

Jury members. Again. Stephen says that it is hard to talk bad about JT. The jury didn't seem to like that. Stephen says "I'm not a physical person. Or a farmer. Or blah blah blah. But I'm smart" and JT says "I'm not a yale graduate or anything. But I'm strong and loyal". Debbie seems to approve of Stephen's speech, and not JT's.

Question time. Yay! I love this part. Brendan starts. Congratz, yeah, yeah. Brendan bitches at Stephen saying how "growing" doesn't win anything. JT agrees. "Just because you can't catch a ball when you come in and have learnt to catch a ball by the end doesn't make you better than the person who already knew how". Absolutely JT. Stephen and JT are getting into a big fight. Weird. These two are a lot harsher towards each other already than other finalist. Erinn's up. She says to Stephen "I've seen you part of 3 very different alliances. Jalapao alliance, Exile alliance, Warrior alliance. And they're all on the jury. So should I just vote for JT?". I'm not exactly sure what she's asking there. Stephen says that she should vote for his aggressive style of play. What? JT has the aggressive play, Stephen. You're in the shadows, remember? Keep to your story. Erinn asks something boring and random to JT, he answers. Debbie is next. She hasn't decided her vote. She talks about honesty and how she wasn't very impressed with JT suddenly turning traitorous. He gives a half-assed answer. She asks Stephen what he would have done if he has won the final immunity. I pray to God he says he would've taken Erinn. He says "I don't know" and Deb gets mad and says she wants a clear answer. Stephen says he would've taken Erinn. Coach is up. Ewww. Ewww. EWWW!!! I'm not even gonna talk about him because it's too hard to form words. I will say this JT did well, Stephen's answer was good too but probably not too good for Coach. Sierra is up. She has no question for Stephen. She asks "How can you talk taking strong people and take Erinn and Stephen to the final 3?" I'm glad somebody asked this. It's true. You can't be all "I'm trying to beat all the strong people!" when you've voted out Brendan, Tyson and Debbie because they're too strong. He doesn't do very well answering. Tyson asks if Stephen was an asset to JT. JT says he could've done it without him but it wouldn't have been as easy. Stephen plays up more friendship shit. Ugh. JT and Stephen fight a little more. Taj is finishing up. She says she feels crushed, betrayed and disappointed. She says it was unnecessary. Which is true. She asks whether it was hard to vote her out. And then JT says it was definately hard and then - wait for it - but not quite as hard as voting out Erinn. WTF JT!? Taj then says she doesn't recognize Stephen and WTF did he vote her out. He then backstaps JT and says that JT wanted to do it and he did not but he had to go with JT. I don't remember quite right, but I'm pretty sure it was the other way around. JT and Erinn don't look pleased. JT defends himself. These two are amazing! I'm glad they're not fluffing each other. Stephen throws JT under the bus again. JT defends. OMG! This is awesome!!! Deb looks amazed. Sorta looking like Eliza. JT says "I should've brought Erinn. You made me look like a fool". Yeah, boy. Don't worry hon, you're gonna win. It's almost time to vote but first we get a little shot of Stephen feeling up JT.

Alright final vote. Stephen pretty much sucked in that tribal council. And JT did pretty well except for a few questions. I'm pretty much sure JT is gonna win. I think the jury will vote like this.
Brendan: JT
Tyson: JT
Sierra: Stephen
Debbie: Stephen
Coach: JT
Taj: JT
Erinn: JT

I'm not entirely sure about Taj and Erinn but we'll see, I suppose. We're voting for a WINNER. Here we go! (I'm excited). Brendan votes. Debbie votes. Sierra votes. Taj votes "I am a woman of my word. You should try and be a man the same way" <--- Who is that? Tyson votes. Coach votes The W..... Lulz. Erinn (I <3 her. She looks so pretty) votes. Wow. We didn't see any of the votes. That leads me to believe that it is a unanimous vote. Probably 7-0 to JT. And Jeff is off to New York City!

And then here we are in New York City. Everyone looks fancy and nice. JT looks better though. Even if he is wearing green. Ugh, green. Jeff is all excited. He talks about the game a lot. Why??? If we're watching the show we KNOW the game. It takes to four to win. Yeah, yeah. He's reading the votes.

JT

The Warrior (JT)

JT

The winner of Survivor Tocantins = JT!!!

Wow. A 7-0 vote. Thank God. Stephen didn't deserve shit. JT was much better. Alright, time for the reunion. I love the reunion!

Survivor Tocantins Pre-Finale Thoughts

TAJ IS GOING TO WIN SURVIVOR TOCANTINS.

Now I know that's a strange thing to say considering the last few weeks I've been 95% sure that JT was going to win but I thought it can't seriously go Erinn --> Taj --> Stephen --> JT, can it? That'd be far too predictable. And then I watched an interview with Jeff Probst and he revealed that there was going to be a betrayal. And that pretty much has to mean Stephen or JT (or maybe Taj) gets blindsided by their fellow Jalapao friends and I think it'll most likely be JT because Stephen and Taj must know that they'll lose to him, right? That moves Erinn up to final 3 with Taj and Stephen. Erinn won't win final immunity because she's Erinn, Stephen or Taj will win it and vote her out. Now, at first I thought that Stephen would win against Taj in the final 2 but then watching repeats of Survivor Micronesia: Fans VS Favourites I just had this strong feeling, like I just KNEW that Taj was gonna win like when I just KNEW that Todd was going to win China, that Parvati was going to win Micronesia and Bob was going to win Gabon. Now, I could still be wrong of course, but my new to pick is Taj. NOT JT! Which surprises even myself. Where would she get her votes from? Well the jury would be...
Brendan: He would vote for Taj because those two were so tight
Tyson: I think he would vote for Stephen because of the "Warrior" alliance
Sierra: She'd probably go with Taj too. Those two seemed reasonably close and she didn't vote against her as promised.
Debbie: Not sure on her. I think she would go for the person who played most strategically which may be Stephen or Taj.
Coach: I think he may vote for Taj because Stephen betrayed him.
JT: Again, I'm not sure. He was close with both of them, probably closer to Stephen. However he may be pissed that they voted him out.
Erinn: She and Taj seem really friendly. I think they're both quite similar people. She'd vote for Taj.
I suppose that would make it a 5-2 vote to Taj (Assuming Debbie goes with Taj and JT goes with Stephen, but iuno). But we'll see this Sunday (but actually Monday or Tuesday, for people who have to watch it online like me) when the finale airs. I'm going to do a live recap as I watch it just for the lulz.
Oh, and this is by no means what I WANT to happen, just what I think will happen. Which is a very sudden change as about 8 hours ago I was SURE JT was going to win. Now, I do hope that Stephen and JT aren't the final 2 because booooring but I would LOVE to see Erinn win. But that's not going to happen. I don't think she can get to the end and even if she did I can't see her getting any jury votes (Maybe Brendan? Taj? Who else?).

But anyway, TAJ IS GOING TO WIN SURVIVOR TOCANTINS.

Pokemon Red

Okay I'm at home and I'm so bored I've spent the last 4 hours reading message boards about video games that aren't even out yet. So instead of writing Fairy Lights (I wrote the first sentence and got bored) I'm gonna come online and waste 20 minutes of my life ranting about a game that was made over 10 years ago, Pokemon Red.



Pokemon Red Version: Red was the orignial Pokemon game on the GB along with Pokemon Green (or Blue). Although it's old it's still a lot of fun to play. Graphically, it sucks a lot of ass. Musically, it makes your ears bleed. BUT, graphix and musix are not the main selling points of these games. Pokemon games are so popular for their gameplay. I don't know WHY catching horribly ugly monsters and making them fight in boringly simple battles while listening to awful music and sound effects is enjoyable, but it is. Probably due to some weird nostaligic kind of thing but whatever. The game begins and pretty much straight away you get to select your first Pokemon. You can choose from Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle. There's all sorts of reasons to pick one over the other including elements, statistics and movesets but everyone just picks the one that is the cutest (or least ugly). I chose Bulbasaur. Probably a bad move on my part as he was never particularly useful. Not that it matters, this game is ridicuously easy, despite what my memories from when I was small tell me. You get your first taste of how easy the game is straight away as your rival (Green is is official name but it's more fun to call him things like Lisl or Sefie) wants to battle. Instead of easily destroying me with his Charmander's scratch attack he decides that using growl and not damaging me at all is the way to win. "IMA GONA BE DA BEST POKEMANZ TRAINA!" he says as he walks off. Whatever Green, you just got your intense fire-breathing dragon killed by a tiny animal with a bulb on its back. Face it, you suck just as much as every other trainer in this damn game. So you head out and catch lots of Pokemon (despite what your inner-child remembers, Pidgey sucks. Spearow is 451370 times better. And even then, Spearow's not exactly amazing) and battle lots of nerds who collect bugs. You get to Pewter City and are instructed to battle Brock. He uses lots of rock Pokemon, forunately for you the best move they learn is tackle. If you have a Squirtle on level 8 or a Bulbasaur on level 13 you can probably win this battle in 15 seconds (for real) otherwise it may take longer. Still not particularly hard though. The trainers coming up are the only peeps I struggled with in the whole game and that's only because my team consisted of a level 9 Bulbasaur, level 8 Pidgey, level 9 Spearow, level 7 Rattata, level 5 Weedle (don't use him ever) and level 12 Nidoran M. Eventually (after returning to the Pokemon Centre after every battle because that's all you have to do to get completely healed) I get to Mount Moon. Another place with lots of ridiculously easy trainers and super crappy Pokemon to catch (although I did snag a Clefairy which I actually found useful and ended it up using it for the remainder of the game). In Cerulean, I continued to fight more random trainers (I was shocked to realize that I still remember which Pokemon 95% of the trainers in this game use). Beat the shit out of Misty at the gym (I caught an Oddish above Cerulean on level 12 and it did the entire battle for me despite Misty having two pokemon on like level 19 and 21 or something) and continue along. Continue your journey, fighting dumb trainers, catching ugly monsters and collecting ridiculously-easy-to-get gym badges. Although despite all of the badness, I found myself loving every moment of the game. Eventually you'll get all 8 badges and be on your way to the Indigo Plateau. Taking the time to obtain Zapdos and Articuno pretty much guarantees you a win. I couldn't be fucked and used the same old team I used pretty much the entire game. Still wasn't hard though. Before you get to the Indigo League, Green turns up and wants to battle. I thought I'd include how this battle when down just to prove how ridiculously easy this game is. Alright, it went like this -->

• Green sends out level 47 Pidgeot. Scott sends out level 36 Nidoking. Nidoking (God knows why he has more speed than a Pidgeot 11 levels higher than him) uses rock slide. Pidgeot uses agility. Pidgeot is now faster than Nidoking. Next turn. Pidgeot uses agility, again. Um... What? Nidoking uses rock slide. Turn 3. Pidgeot uses agility. Nidoking uses rock slide. Turn 4. Pidgeot uses AGILITY. Nidoking uses rock slide. Pidgeot faints.
• Green sends out level 45 Rhyhorn. Scott sends out level 39 Venusaur. 4x weakness to grass + razor leaf = Dead Rhyhorn.
• Green sends out level 45 Exeggcute. Scott sends out level 31 Flareon (which by the way, I evolved from and Eeevee at level 25, put it in the daycare until it learned ember and this was the first time it had been used since). Flareon uses ember. Exeggcute uses poison powder. Flareon uses ember. Exeggcute faints.
• Green sends out level 47 Gyarados. Scott sends out level 38 Clefable. 4x weakness to electric + thunderbolt = Dead Gyarados.
• Green sends out level 50 Alakazam. Scott sends out level 37 Pidgeot. Alakazam uses recover. I haven't hit you yet, dumbass. Pidgeot flies. Alakazam uses recover. STILL haven't hit you yet. Pidgeot uses fly. Alakazam uses psychic. Pidgeot flies. Alakazam uses psychic - misses. Pidgeot uses fly. Pidgeot uses quick attack. Alakazam faints.
• Green sends out level 53 (53!!!) Charizard. Scott sends out level 35 Gyarados. Charizard uses... LEER. Gyarados uses surf. Charizard uses leer. Gyarados uses Surf. Charizard faints.

And that's that. I mean, come on! His guys were like 10-20 level higher than mine and I still pawned him. He attacked me ONCE with Alakazam. Oh well, moving on. Victory Road is easy. The Elite Four :O:O:O YAY! We're here, at last. Here's how these battles played out.

• Lorelei's Dewgong, Cloyster, Lapras and Slowbro were all owned by electric attacks. Clefable fried those bastards. Jynx was the exception to the "SPAM THUNDERBOLT NAO" strategy. A good fire attack should have taken care of her but my level 31 Flareon got killed in one hit by her level 56 Jynx. So instead I just sent out all of my guys one after the other and spammed their best attacks.
• Bruno is laughably easy. TWO ONIX!? Seriously? 4x weak to water AND grass??? Flying rips his Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Machamp apart.
• Earthquake = Dead Agatha. Except for that fucking Golbat. Thunderbolt kills that, though.
• Lance has lots of evil dragons. Ice attacks FTW!!! Electric attacks on Gyarados, water attacks on Aerodactly. Also, does Hyper Beam not need to be recharged back in the RBY days???
• The battle with Green was pretty much exactly the same as the last 5 except he FINALLY evolved his Exeggcute. No problem here, I just matched types and killed everything. Although, his Exeggutor did kill my Flareon this time. Pidgeot was a fine replacement.

So then I got to watch the Hall of Fame, which I LOVE! I always have loved it always will. And then the game was over. Yaaaaaaaay! I could've gone and caught Mewtwo if I wanted but meh. Playing through Red Version was fun for nostalgia purposes but with FireRed and LeafGreen in my posession I really have no reason to ever play this game.

True Blood Season 1 A

(Sorry Nathaniel)

Okay, so made a brief comment about this show earlier. I pretty much just said it was awesome. Which it is. In this part I'll give more deets about how/why it is so awesome.

The show is set in a parallel world to ours where humans and vampires live together. Vampires drink 'Tru Blood' instead of real human blood. However, some humans consent to letting vampires feed off of them in exchange for money, sex or even for the vampire's blood (which acts as some sort of hallucinogenic drug, dubbed 'V'). The thing I always think when watching this show is "Who could've thought that a show based around vampires and such could be so real?". True Blood really succeeds in taking fatasy/science-fiction/whatever elements and using them in a realistic fashion to create characters, ideas, themes and symbols. The show uses a lot of vampire-related topics as metaphors to real-world topics like drug-abuse and racism (or the more current form of prejudice, homophobia). It also has wonderfully real characters where none of them are really good or bad, they're all just human. This is something I love and it isn't something that occurs very frequently. Brothers and Sisters is another show that comes to mind that pulls this off. The lead characters are both great and have a fantastic relationship. When I say "lead characters" I am referring to Sookie and Tara, not Sookie and Bill. Sookie and Tara are fantastic. Sookie and Bill, not so much. Sookie and Tara's relationship is close to rivalling that of Meredith and Cristina from Grey's Anatomy. Actually, that's a lie. It's not close, but it's still pretty damn good. Unfortunately Sookie and Bill suffer from the annoying cliche that I didn't like the first time and don't like anymore the twelfth time. Sookie is all blonde and naive and absolutely blinded by love to see that Bill is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE for her. And Bill is dark and dangerous and absolutely blinded by love to see that Sookie is WAY TOO GOOD for him. There are a lot of main characters in the show, but the other most important ones would probably be Jason and Sam. Jason only really does two things in this show: sex and drugs. He's a complete jerk and a total moron but he's loveable. Sam is sort of like poor man's Bill. He has all the same shit going on with him, just not as much. This is why Sookie chooses Bill over Sam. This, and Bill likes to bite her during sex and Sookie loves her some kinky violent sex. Another interesting is Lafiet (not sure on the spelling for this one). He's the drug-dealer, who is awesome and badass. He also seems to be wise and has good advise to give to Sookie and his cousin, Tara. Strangely enough my two favourite characters would probably be the red-haired woman at the bar and her husband, Rene. These two don't really get their own storylines and their role in the show is simply the innocent humans who witness everything that everyone else is doing. Although the lost two eppies weren't quite as good as all the previos ones, they were still worth watching and I really think this show has potential. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.

Moar Bullet Points

• I'm sick. A cold or the flu or something. Whatever it is, I don't like it.
• I like Ms Meredith. She's hot. And I don't mean that sexually.
• Probably going to Victoria University. We'll see though.
• Played Pokemon Red again. It was fun, although a lot easier than I remember.
• Simon = Homophobic? Here's a quote from him from a couple of weeks ago; "Not to be prejudice against gays or anything but I really hope he [referring to Tamati Coffey from Dancing with the Stars] isn't gay." <-- Sorry Simon, I can't think of any way that that isn't prejudice against gays.
• Jack's fashion of not tucking his shirt in FTL.
• Brothers and Sisters = bleh. Seriously, where's the B&S charm I loved so much? And does Jed watch this? Or did he just randomly give an opinon on it today?
• I recently realized that my opinions on homosexual marriage and polygamous marriage contradict each other. Which, I suppose means I have to change the way I think about one or other. I'm still trying to decide which one, though.
• Everytime I plan Fairy Lights it gets even more unnecessarily weird. I really should attempt to write it but I already know that it is going to end up as a messy something of ideas.
• Aw shit! What am I gonna do when Melissa leaves???
• OMG, my mum said this weirdest thing yesterday. I went into her room and we were talking and then I was like "Where's Jon?" and she goes, "He's in the bathroom. I think he's nursing little bird." <--- WHAT!??!?!?!?!?!?? Mum! Don't say such things... Turns out he brought a sick bird back from work and was looking after it. Oh, okay.
• Lol @ Michael Bellingham. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with this lad?
• Lol @ Geethika. The poor lass doesn't understand anything.
• Speaking of Geethie, I had the awkwardest walk home from school today. I wanted to leave straight away because I was sick and because we go the same way, Patricia and Geethika decided it'd be awesome if the 3 of us walked home together. This was my face --> :O. So I walked with them and then as soon as I had the opportunity to go another route, I did. That's not all, it gets worse. Much worse. Josh Krijen passes me on the way. Shit. So after walking behind him for a bit, he turns around and points at me. Shit! He walks over to me - SHIT! - and decides to walk with me. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL??? Awkwardest. Conversation. Ever.
• The other day I plucked my eyebrows, and cut my nails, and washed my hair, and waxed my legs. That was a good day.
• Can't wait for Adele to wear her other kilt. It'll be lulz.
• Alright, dinner is ready, so I'm gonna stop with the unnecessary bullet points nao. Bye.

Grey's Anatomy Season 5 - A

This season was really luckluster at the beginning. It had boring storylines, bad characters and no real charm. That has quickly turned around in the last few episodes, however. First of all, thank God that Denny story is over. Izzy is sick, yeah, yeah, we all saw that coming, especially with the announcement of Katherine Heigel's departure for the sixth season. T.R. Knight is also leaving but meh, I don't think anybody will notice due to his extreme lack of screentime this season. Seriously, I think George has been on for about all of 5 minutes during the last 3 episodes. Does anyone else hate the direction that Bailey's character has taken? She used to be a favourite of mine with that strong, smart personality that fitted so well for the show's mentor character. Now she doesn't do anything except be emotional a lot and cry every 12 seconds. Also, Derek is soooo lame. Like, I used to hate him because he was just so bleh but now I can't even hate him because he doesn't do anything good or bad anymore. This season has a much more ensemble cast with the characters all sharing pretty much equal amounts of screentime (except for George), hell if anybody has more than the others it's Izzy rather than Meredith. This has done wonders for Meredith's character. Although she used to be fucking annoying and pretty much one of the worst characters in the show, I like her a LOT more now. She isn't in it nearly as much which means she doesn't get nearly as irritating. Plus, she acts a lot more grown-up now and I really respect the way she is acting lately. Also, the relationship between Meredith and Cristina is hands-down THE best friendship that has ever been portrayed on a T.V. show. No question. Is there some kind of award for that sorta thing? Because if there is, Meretina FTW. Speaking of Cristina, her relationship with Owen Hunt (yes, I had to look that up because I'm pretty sure it's been said all of once the whole season) is growing on me. I really hated it originally because it just seemed so forced and whatever. Another favourite of mine, Alex, has also lost a lot of his charm this season which is unfortunate. That might be because he lost a lot of screentime because of the whole Denny thing but I dunno. Hopefully he picks up again because I'm getting sick of all my faves either leaving (Addi) or becoming shit (George, Bailey and now Alex). The Chief (I don't even remember his name despite being in it since the beginning :() is as boring and forgettable as ever. Seriously, why is he even in this show? Mark and Lexie win. That's all that needs to be said. Callie is pretty cool although I'm not impressed with the lesbian thing. That leads me on to the first of the new ladies, Sadie. She seems alright. I'm a bit disappointed with her and Meredith though. They played it up to be a big thing that was gonna stir things up a lot but I don't remember a single time that they've spoken since her introductory episode. Lastly, Arizona Robbins (yes, I had to look her name up too. Come one Grey's, state your new characters' names more frequently, dammit!). She hasn't been in it very much but I've only got good thoughts for the "stranger with the ponytail". That could change however. So anyway, congratulations to the producers for turning this shitastic season around in such a short amount of time. It's actually worth watching again. Even if it was stupid that they didn't kill the serial killer and the boy STILL got his organs. Ugh.

Heart Gold and Soul Silver

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Pokemon fanboy inside just had an orgasm! Old classics Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver are getting remade for the DS using Pokemon Platinum's engine. They've been named Pokemon Heart Gold and Pokemon Soul Silver which may just be the lamest thing I've ever heard but WHO THE HELL CARES!? Remakes for these games have been long awaited and they're finally here :D I'm not sure which one I'll get. I don't remember the exclusives from Gold and Silver so currently I'm leaning towards Soul Silver because it sounds less awful. Seriously, Heart Gold? WTF? I suppose it doesn't really matter because my brother will end up getting the one I don't so meh.

Blogging out of boredom

I'm real bored, so I'm going to come online and blog to the whole internet world about how bored I am. Awesome. For a change, I'll do this in bullet points.

• School is so average right now. Like, the most average thing ever. Not that one thing can be more average than another but whatevs.
• Lunch time and interval are usually the most boring thing ever. However today was alright. Talking about video games with fellow nerds/geeks/whatever = win.
• Melanie's new haircut is really nice. Jack's hair was really cute today, too.
• Melissa <3.
• Grey's Anatomy has FINALLY picked up in the last two episodes. It's starting to get back to what it used to be like. Fortunately, it looks like all this ghost sex shit is going to go away.
• Brothers and Sisters is on tonight. Hopefully that can have a come-around as well because it has also been pretty meh lately.
• Survivor Micronesia: Fans VS Favourites is kicking ass. Parvati FTW!
• Survivor Tocantins is kicking ass. Erinn FTW!
• Currently playing; Final Fantasy IV (DS), Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings (DS), Magical Starsign (DS), Pokemon Diamond (DS), Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2: Grimoire of the Rift (DS), Final Fantasy VI (PS1), Final Fantasy VII (PS1) and Dark Chronicle (PS2).
• Family dinner yesterday. It was real boring but then again, they always are.
• MSN is broken. Again. I'm really sick of fixing that thing.
• Final Fantasy IX Play Arts toys are coming out :); Zidane, Dagger and Vivi. Hope they're good.
• Nathaniel wasn't at school today. I don't think he knew about the late start. Poor old guy.
• Jon from England makes lots of weird noises. I don't approve.
• My brother has decided to be nice and give me his iPod and his Final Fantasy VIII Advent Play Arts figures. Now all I need is that scarf.
• Omomom?

True Blood

True Blood <3

This show is amazing. I wasn't expecting much. Just some silly Twilight-type thingie. I was shocked. This show is amazing. I'm completely spellbound (and so is my mother, which is rare). Who would have thought that a show about crazy vampire sex would be so real. The characters are real, the themes are real. This show is amazing. I love it.
