Contemplation.

Through all the stress of school, I've been seriously contemplating on some things pretty hardcore.

Been noticing how many writty things I have. Or, places where I can keep some sort of journal. (LJ, Tumblr, Deviantart, BlogSpot...) I think through school, I should try to write a little more on those. I feel like if I do, it'll not just keep my stress level down, but it'll also help increase my creativity. I have so many ideas flowing through my head, on top of a collab project which I've been wanting to start for nearly a year now, with my bff Nightborn. So many books yet to read, so many things left to write, so much anime left to watch, and yet here I am, still busy in school.

Provided I don't pass my Pharm class, I'll probably have to pick up a second job just to 1) get hours, and 2) pay back my student loans. While that goes on, I can see myself having more luxury to write again;; though, I really do hope I pass my Pharmacology class. It's not easy, but I'm too stubborn to back down. Some days I think I should've been born a Taurus instead of a Cancer.

Another semi-large update

...in the fewest words possible.

To start off, Pharmacology is kicking my ass at school. Out of 15 people, 13 are failing. We all study our asses off--myself included. The professor can't teach. Simple as that.

Next to studying most of my days away, I started playing Breath of Fire (1) for the GBA. Believe me, the SNES version is top priority on my list. However, I was close to beating the game, when I found out that using one of the badass dragon spells.... can, well, only be used once... .-. Which means i'm not going to get the ZOMGAWESOMEBEST ending. Lame. Oh well. I also fixed my NESten. <3 Which made me happy until I found out that the copy of FF2 I have was horribly translated. I went on a rant about that on my tumblr. "sldkfjsld5 lskd34lkjl" is not what I'd like to see upon winning a battle. Just sayin'. So I picked up my GBA and started playing that. Things were going fine and dandy on there, until just tonight it started to act wonky when I'd go to save. Siiigh. Looks like I'm going to have to pick up another copy of FF I&II Dawn of Souls. There are reasons why I love Amazon. Unfortunately, I cannot buy anything until it gets closer to December. Why? Because I want to fly out to see my boyfriend again. .-. And, tickets aren't exactly cheap. At least, not for me. I'll probably be looking at anywhere from $500-600. But uh... if it does end up being over $500, sorry hon, but I can't do that. I could use that to buy some christmas presents to put under our tree this year. Seeings as money is pretty tight at home. Thus is life though.

After messing with FFII, I decided to try playing Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories on my VBA. What do I have to say to it? Meh. It's... alright. But then again, I just started it, so I guess I'll have to wait to find out. Sometime tells me I'm already fucking up on that though.

My kitten that I picked up in July is also finally able to get fixed. He goes next Tuesday. Which makes me happy, because then I don't have to worry about him being a man whore, getting other strays in the neighborhood pregos (heaven forbid we have enough stray cats as it is. I certainly don't need him contributing to that.), don't have to worry about him spraying, and no worries about him getting testicular cancer. <3 I'm quite on top of things. I do wish, however, that my folks would hurry up and get the puppy-that-they-just-had-to-have her vaccinations. If they miss a certain time frame, they have to start her vaccination series allllllll over again. On top of that, there's been a pretty nasty Lepto outbreak around here. And I for one, don't want to get Lepto. If I get it from that puppy, there are going to be problems. .___. Serious problems.

However, I must get back to studying for my classes, seeings as they're all kind of kicking my ass lately, on top of starting to come down with some kind of illness. Hrm!!

It appears to be a very anime-season.

I’d be much more happier if I actually had time through school to sit down and watch these, but about the only thing I have time in my schedule for is the new Thundercats series and Adventure Time. HOWEVER, for those who didn’t know, the lovely G4 has been kind enough to adapt some popular Marvel anime cartoons into their busy schedule. (When I say busy, I mean too lazy to take some of their more horrid shows and replace them with these little gold nuggets.)
Those unaware, the new anime series that hit the television this late summer/early autumn were Wolverine, Iron Man, Blade, and X-men.
You can watch their trailers via: http://www.geekchicdaily.com/redirect/4e9f632e1cec6 or hit ‘em up on youtube.
You can also get more information on them here: http://www.g4tv.com/marvel
X-men will be showing Fridays at 11pm ET, or Sundays at 9am ET.
Wolverine was apparently on last Thursday at 9am. What a “convenient” time. .-. Maybe if G4 took some of their COP and Cheater shows down, they could make more room for their so-called “Marvel Friday”. Having just X-men on at 11pm on a Friday isn’t exactly a “Marvel Friday”.
In any case, if you’re interested in checking any of these out, you can check it out here: http://www.g4tv.com/schedule/index.html?datetime=10/21/2011%2006:00%20AM
The above link will help you determine possible times.

Ah, the autumn season.

Been busy with school lately. Not much has gone down. Been doing a lot of this hardcore study stuff that I lacked back during the summer. No idea why it's so much harder for me to study in the summer. I guess because I never had school in the summer, so because of that, my mind had vacation in sight, while my grades suffered. Not any more.


However, I have been playing a lot of Terraria, Spiral Knights, (just bought the OFFICIAL copy of) Minecraft, and I've been playing my Pokémon Emerald version, annnnd the GBA version of Breath of Fire. I forgot a lot about BoF, but it is such a badass game. Not a complicated plot--very simple. And the characters are fairly simple too. I have quite a ways to go on that game, because I was originally playing the SNES version on my desktop back before it wiped. ): On a brighter note, I reactivated my tumblr. (http://pixelatedpanda.tumblr.com/ ). Nothing else has been happening though. Though I've been actively posting spontaneous stuff on tumblr. HOWEVER, I will also be transferring posts on to here too, seeings as this is also my blog. (Tumblr isn't really that fancy. Just sayin'.)

o_O

I... have made... partial progress... I am not dead. O_o Just throwin' that out there.

I have made quite the progress on my Black&White versions. Though I've also been swamped with schoolwork. (Yeah, what else is new? That's why I've personally excluded myself from the questions, "What's new?" and "What are you doing?" Because generally it's doing homework while multitasking with playing some sort of handheld. Generally one of my Pokémon games, because I don't have to put much attention forth to them. That is one reason why they are one of my favorite series. Because... I can play multiple games at once, OR, I can actually do schoolwork AND STILL PLAY GAMES! <: It's magical.

I haven't made much progress on either Yellow versions, but they're almost beaten. I think I'm on the 6th or 7th badge. I've had my desktop powered down for a few days, so I can't really say off hand. I've made it to the 7th gym badge on my Black Version, and the 8th on my White version. I also still have to go to Toys'R'Us so I can get my eggies. *-* But... I still have until the end of May to do that. /yawn~ I'm in no real hurry to get those. I've still got many real life things to take care of, such as plant my garden, and start reading these mountains of books I have accumulated... My whole 10 week reading challenge? Failed. Haha! I've been so swamped. I haven't really had much time to read. (I exclude reading textbooks as reading... because... it's kind of forced...)

Also, I happily order a commission from one of my favorite artists. I'm so excited to see the finished results. <3 For those of you who actually read this and are curious, check out this: http://forsakendays.deviantart.com/ She does wonderful commissions. <3

Lastly, because I have nowhere else to put a quote that I've direly been searching to fit somewhere, here is where I'll put it. "I don't care if I get motion sick. I want to play games beside you. You are my best friend, and my lover. I would do absolutely anything for you. Even if it means throwing up now and then. Big deal. It's just stomach acid. Just as long as I'm beside you, that's all that really matters."

-Danii, signing off... from a rough and sketchy, as well as unorganized blog. xD

Progress... Sorta.

With the exception of school holding me back a bit, I've made some progress.


Still taking a break from TLoZ: Oracles of Seasons, still playing through Pokemon Black&White, made it through the first chapter of Dawkin's "The Greatest Show on Earth", and I've started up playing the American and Japanese Pokemon Yellow: The Special Pikachu Edition simultaneously. Asides from that, I haven't really done much else, due to both work and school. However, tomorrow I will be at a RUSH concert, so I should have pictures and much more from there. I will update again whenever time has been allotted.

Now with a side dish of Mystery~

...or just plain curiosity.

So a friend of mine showed me the Lost Silver hacked Pokémon game. I thought it was pretty interesting, and it actually made sense to me. She was kind of confused what the point of Celebi was, and I told her that it's known as the Time Traveling pokémon. Once understanding that, the whole thing fell into place as far as making sense goes.

Today, however, I was shown "Hypno's Lullaby". http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Lullaby%27s_Cave  I am -extremely- skeptical of this. So skeptical, that I'm going to use both my cartridge FireRed, and a different one to see if it is actually in game. If it was a hacked version that this person bought, then well, they wasted their money. Part of the reason why I'm skeptical is because in the entry, the author does not say -where- exactly the cave is, or even how far into the game they are. Just that they're "leveling their team up for the elite four". There were no hidden caves what so ever in the non-hacked version, much like the person states as they're scrambling through different guides to figure out what the hell is going on. However, Nintendo isn't a sick company. ._. And GameFreak would never -ever- put something like that into their game. That's what makes me firmly believe it was a hacked copy. But, that is also why I am going to use two different games to see if this cave really does exist, and if so, where it is.

I tried googling up a location for this so-called "Lullaby's Cave", and the only thing that came up was the wikia article. Go figure, right? No youtube videos or nothing. So it's probably just another one of those every day Memes. Either way, I'm very convinced that it's not true. At least there was evidence of Lost Silver, not to mention a video. This one doesn't seem to be as... solid in the foundation. None the less though, even though the story ruined poor Hypno, it's still an interesting story. And just so everyone gets this straight, the entry says, " It carries a pendulum-like device. There once was an incident in which it took away a child it hypnotized." A. Child. Not children. "Once was an incident." Once. Not multiple. So when I read the dialog saying "Children", that instantly makes me think it's fake. ._. Nothing about it makes sense. There really is only a select few ways to find out though. ~.~ Might as well start to it. I'm fairly certain though that it is just one of those creepy stories that just makes you sit there and think. I guess Creepypasta is good for that. -Shrug-

On a brighter note more worth attention, I found a website that lets you watch Pokémon episodes. <3 That made me quite happy. No downloading or nothing. It's a wonderful thing. http://pokemonepisode.org/

Off for the night, though. Wrestling with a printer is just too much work. That's more than my fair share of ink.
