This is all the stuff we got at Otakon! Four random Idolmaster nendos (Colly picked out 3 repeats from last year, then I got a Ritsuko), four Fate Stay Night nendos (Colly got two Illiyas and a Sakura, then the first one I picked out is Saber), two Haruhi nendos (Itsuki and Yuki... of all characters), a Gurren Lagann mini figure, a Reimu Plushie, a Chopper Plushie, the three Johto starters there, some player pins from TWEWY, and that disk there is Higurashi. You can't see it, but that T-shirt is signed by Little Kuriboh. And there's a Hetalia poster and some wall scrolls in there too. So yeah, good haul.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate." Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
Awesome, looks like you had fun Silver! Certainly got a nice haul...
Random note: Watching the Spongebob Movie with my sister (though I, admittedly, would watch it on my own because Spongebob is awesome). How the heck they came up with all the things that happen in this movie, I have no clue. It's just so absurd.
Soooo... volunteering at VBS again this year! I actually got one of my best friends assigned to the same crew as me, so I'm pretty excited for this week. Also, plans of go-karting later this week... yessss :D
May the Triforce be with you.

1. I have had a headache for a while now,
2. it's raining...kind of explains itself...
3. I'm so bored, I'm about to go insane...
But, I do feel a bit happy because...
1. I discovered a new Rammstein song that I really like,
2. I found a game in Gamestop that I really want. (bad part is that I did not have enough money to buy it today)
3. I got a laugh out of my cat's misery. (he got a scratch from a fight and the vet had to shave off part of his fur...he looks funny as a skin-kitty.

Okayso we lost our softball game, as usual, but it was close and we could have won and we should have won because we're better than this team and it was frusturating because we just had a bad first inning and it cost us the game.
For the first two innings, I played catcher (and I made an awesome tag out at home), but I also ended up hurting my pinky getting a ball in the dirt (ball crashed into my nail, making it bleed). The ump was like "Uhhh" and I was like "Eh, fine" and he was like "Just run and get a band-aid, then. Can't have an open wound on the field". I played the next inning fine and then I sat out the next two innings. Back in the 2nd inning, though (I was catching) I saw the parents of one of the kids on the DI team I coach walking by, and I was like "hi!" and it turned out the kid was there too and they stayed and watched for a bit (and they got to see two of my at bats--one where I grounded out to 3rd, and the 2nd, which was a strikeout. My last at bat (which they obviously didn't see) was a nice single up the 3rd base line). I was kind of upset when they stayed through an inning of me not playing the field just to see my strikeout, but I digress. Finally, we get to the top of the 7th inning (the last inning in softball, for all those who don't know) and I'm playing right field. They have a runner on 2nd and 3rd, no outs, we're up by one run. Hit to me. I catch it and whip it home to try and get the runner who was tagging up. The catcher caught it and made the tag out. It. Was. AWESOME. I was SO excited. I couldn't believe I had just made that play.
Then, the world (which hates me, by the way), didn't appriciate me being pleased with myself, so the next hit was again to right field, but this time it was too far in, and I couldn't reach it in time, and it landed and bounced by me. Runner on 3rd scores, but I hold the batter to a double. Tie game. Joy. I just let in the tieing run when I could have won us the game right then and there. Next batter hits to center field, winning run comes in. Joy.
We get up at bat. I'm up first, and I hit the ball down the 3rd base line and get a single. Kind of excited. Next batter hits to the shortstop and I get out at 2nd. Not awesome. Then a fly out and another fly out (which was an amazing jumping catch by their annoyingly tall shortstop). Game over... we lose.
Ugh.
I just keep replaying that stupid play over in my head... If I had caught that damn ball, we would have won the game.... aghhhhh... I'm trying to be pleased with my awesome play, but I can't, because the VERY NEXT play, that happened to me. It ALWAYS happens to me. I remember that ONE time I scored a goal in hockey two seasons ago. My only goal of the season. Feelin good. Next play, center on the other team wins the faceoff, blows by the defense, scores. No longer feelin' good.
Ugh.
May the Triforce be with you.

Hi! That's too bad, Saber. But try not to let it get you down too much, having fun is more important than winning.
My aunt and cousin are coming later today and staying for a little over a week. Kinda odd, since our families hardly ever see each other (we hardly ever visit anyone on my dad's side other than my grandparents). Though they don't get in till this evening and my mom is taking them hiking all day tomorrow and part of Thursday, so I still won't really see them much for a few more days.
Josiah is right Saber, even if you don't win, the most important part is having fun. (though, I do know it's hard to have fun if you're on the losing team)
So, in my news for today, My friend decided to finally drag me out of my house. She is bringing me furthur then my usual bike ride, to another dimention. (to me) This particular dimention encloses a particular place known as the "Mall"....okay I have been there before, but it is kind of boring...what are you supposed to do there? Shop? That isn't the kind of thing I do on a regular basis. Well....The only reason I decided to go is because in this "Mall" there's a Gamestop....and I saw a game in there that I do wish to get. Heh heh...

I'm not all that upset about losing... kind of majorly used to losing by now since our coach always has us play in a leauge where we'll be in the bottom instead of making us in the leauge where we'd be at the top. It's just... I actually was feelin' good about myself for the first time in a while when playing softball, and the VERY NEXT play, that mood was killed. It would have been nice to be the hero for once in my life, yeah? Guess that doesn't really happen.
Anyywho, hung out today with a couple of my guy friends for the first time in a while... which is weird because they used to be the ONLY friends I hung out with. Huh.
May the Triforce be with you.

Hi! Running rather late right now so I don't really have time to talk. But I just saw the they finally started releasing the Gold/Silver saga of the Pokémon Adventures manga, something I've been waiting for for years.
Soooooo I was at the store and I ended up buying a Duengons and Dragons starter kit because I've always wanted to play that game. I knew my dad used to play, so I asked him about it again, and it turns out he actually used to be kind of obsessed with it and he would play a lot. Like, he would spend hours preparing to be a duengonmaster and such... he kind of got even more awesome in my eyes.
But I've only got two friends who will play with me... well, them plus Tango. One of my friends refuses to play because he says he's busy... but... like... honestly? You're gonna be busy for the rest of your life? I'm pretty sure he's just avoiding the question... And another friend doesn't wanna play because he doesn't wanna be with a group of people... I'm pretty sure he's depressed again, ugh...
BUT I WANNA PLAYYYYYYYY I NEED SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH MEEE!

Oh Saber that's awesome! D&D is a great game, you might also like Anima or Big Eyes Small Mouths (both are sort of anime-ish roleplays), Shadowrun for a futuristic sci-fi, or All Flesh Must Be Eaten if you want a zombie roleplay. I'm actually going to be GM'ing for my group this coming semester at school, I'm excited!
Speaking of school, I got my student loan from the government finally! Looks like I'm all set to go to school again this year - I was getting a bit worried because it was taking so long for them to mail it to me.
I'll play with you Saber! Just put a laptop on the table and type to me what's going on, and I'll write back.
Hey everyone. I got hours cut at work. Not cause I did anything wrong, its just that the guy in charge is afraid there's too many guards on. It's kinda annoying, cause it messed up the schedule. Well, a lot of kids will be going back to college soon, so that'll open up more hours.
Oh, and Josiah? That pic of Weird Al, wearing the Spongebob shirt and tutu? It cracked me up.
Hi! I haven't played D&D much due to a lack of interested friends as well, but from the little bit I've done I agree that it can be a lot of fun with a good group.
I actually converted a significant portion of my friends to DnD, all of whom had previously made fun of me for playing. I played DnD with my father when I was in kindergarten I think. I seem to remember him really liking to use Mimics. For the record, I suck at DMing.
I'd be willing to play with you, if you had a webcam, a mic, and a skype account for which to include me with... Still'd be a bit of a pain, so nevermind. We used to play with just 3 people after we got used to the game, maybe you can make it work.
Finally done with cleaning! I think... So now I'm hiding in the basement, because that's where I'm living for the next week while Grandma gets my room. Now I have some free time! And Kingdom Hearts! Uhh... Those two aren't compatible, are they?
Hmm... This signature just got really short... Blastitar♂ (Water) Attacks: Bite, Water Gun, Crunch, Rock Slide (Wins 15, Losses 0) Torrent&Shed Skin

Swalectrode (Electric, Poison) Attacks: Yawn, Tackle, Sludge, Screech (Wins 5, Losses 0) Exp:30 Static&Liquid Ooze Status: Lost T.T
Actually yeah, that's a good idea Poik! If you can't get a group together out of your face-to-face friends you could start up a Skype session or something - I'd be up for it!
