  • Oh boy. I want to watch that battle now! The excitement! The fun! The awesomeness!

    Yeah... It's good that homework weighs more, but it's not good that the teacher checks it everyday because it brings down my grade whenever I didn't have time to do/BS it.

    That's good! Or maybe he used it the wrong answer key or something, which then you might be able to get a lot of points back.

    Heh, nobody cares about oral scores. I have no idea what my grade is right now... :p

    I think my school approved the T-shirt,

    That is awesome. That is seriously awesome. Rather Scrumptious if Fried in Batter and Served with Curly Fries it is! Hmmmm now I'm kinda hungry now.

    Use u-substitution! Set u = 4x-2, so du = 4, then solve for the new integral thing with u, and then plug 4x-2 back in the solution. Am I making any sense right now because I don't think I am :(
    It's cool to look at, but not fun to drive or such in.

    As long as it wasn't a butter knife, I guess so. xD

    I've heard that theory before, too. I have no idea how jumping into a Vortex of Death could transport you into the past or future, though.

    Depends on if I feel lasy or not.
    Haven't got a single one yet. I pretty much gave up on it and switched to a treadmill instead. :P

    Ah.

    The hotel had a zoo...? Sweet.

    Can any Steel-types even learn Extremespeed? xP Oh, wait, Metranome. That'd help.

    Huh. I didn't know that it could cause them. :O It obviously gets worse after drugs, though.

    They sometimes have them at Army Surplus stores. Now all you'd need is a hazmat suit...
    You should definately report him if he does it again. D:

    Interesting phrase choice. 0_o I use 'yer' a lot (as you may have noticed).

    "YOU ARE SOFT, LIKE PAMPERED WESTERN CAPITALIST!"

    Salmon, or anything else that is large. Because big fish = big fight = awesomeness = food = ??? = profit.

    I love seafood. D: Well, save for seabass/rockfish. My god, those things are terrible.

    More like:
    MAGIKARP used SPLASH! But nothing happened.
    ANOTHER MAGIKARP used SPLASH! But nothing happened.
    MAGIKARP used SPLASH! But nothing happened.
    ANOTHER MAGIKARP used SPLASH! But nothing happened.
    etc. etc.

    It'll be the most exciting battle ever.

    Daw... My teacher actually checks the homework (part of it, at least), so we can't pretend that we did it (although we can sometimes get away with doing only half of it). Homework is worth 15% though, so I try to do them just in case. If you understood everything, then you should get a pretty good score! Checking with your teacher is probably a good idea at this point, although be prepared to majorly headdesk after you're done because you lost points to calculation errors or something, because that's what happens to me all the time. :P

    :D Thanks~

    It's one of the crazy math club officers, I think. The math club officers tend to be a little eccentric. I'm pretty sure the T-shirt still has to be approved by the school first, but it should pass, since it's not like it's vulgar or anything.

    This means I need to think up a nickname for mine now... Er... Help?
    Well, basically, they'd just be a different tint depending on their nicknames. I'm not sure exactly what letters and stuff in nicknames determines the tint, but an example would be if you had an Arcanine named John or something, and it might be a more yellowish orange. Whilst another Arcanine named Bob might be a more reddish orange. Things like that. It's subtle, but it really works in distinguishing Pokémon.

    Well, they eventually become a specific Creation and it is influenced by their parent's Spirit Forms, but it isn't really formed right away. Like in real life, I try to make it based on both environment and genetics. I'm glad you like it though. :3

    Ah, it was a good thing nobody notices! Did I tell you about how she sometimes explodes AND transforms? She randomly transforms to her Spirit Form in the most inappropriate times too. And people often have reactions to it if they don't know her... a lot treat her like an animal since this isn't common at all. Most people can only access their Spirit Forms by using a specific spell and Spirit Forms actually aren't well-known...

    Ah, don't worry. I've been into HTML for a few years on and off and even I don't have all of the tags memorized. There's not really that many you need to know, thankfully. Which is what makes it so simple. I still need that guide at times, so I'm sure not everyone gets it all in there. But ah, I'm glad I could help you too. :3

    It's not so bad if that's not all there is, yeah! Just put a nice original spin on it, and I'm sure people will react more favourably. I commend you for writing fan fiction, in fact... I've always found it a bit difficult.

    XD Aaah, I guess maybe it was the way I drew it! There was also a Ninetales in there. Two Pokémon characters. That's my old Pokésona, as a matter of fact...

    Once again, glad I could help! For tablets, just look online. I got mine at Amazon for around $60ish. There's a few cheaper/more expensive options there too. I recommend Bamboo/Wacom because well, that's what everyone else seems to have nowadays and that's mine. Digital art is quite exciting! I haven't done much of it, but it is easier to do certain things than with just coloured pencils.

    That's a tough question... for how it looks, I prefer traditional because it just has this natural quality/gritty that a lot of digital artists can't seem to imitate. Most digital art looks too shiny and unnatural, TOO clean, maybe that's just the popular style. I have seen a few digital artists though who can make their art look like actual paintings, so I respect that. In terms of which one is easiest to do/I like to do... I prefer digital. It's a lot less strainful on my hands for colouring in particular since I really press down hard with my pencils. What about you?

    Ah, losing focus is pretty cool too, I'll admit! I don't like being SO structured, so I don't write based on my sections... I just sort of start splurging and then title the sections later and then when I randomly shift topic, I make a new header without a title or purpose until I'm done with it. I agree with you; unleashing those emotions is a good feeling.

    Whoa... that's a lot. Really, really long! I don't know how long mine is because it's on the computer and not handwritten, but I've had it for about two years now... and there's many, many long rambly entries.

    Some of them are! Particularly a thread that got really derailed... I think I was justified in deleting that.

    It's scary, when they're all looking at you. I just sort of lose it and want to disappear and melt into the floor, to be honest.

    Yeah, they didn't really seem to get how you could be close friends with someone in another country like I usually am. I just looked so weird in front of all those people... one of those bigger "melt" moments. It is much easier though... a lot less pressure and much more time to think about what you're going to say rather than looking like a big idiot in front of everyone...

    Ah, that makes sense! I'd probably do the same thing, then.
    Yeah, we get sleet. It's fairly warm here, too. Fifty or so.

    A bunch of different types and sizes. I don't think I have kitchen knives in there, though. :P And I carry a pocketknife about everywhere I go.

    I think you'd be suffocated before you got there, anyway. Either that or double the pain. xD

    Same here. I can do distance.
    Uh... *cough* I've ran once so far. I've been going for multiple walks a week, though. The only reason it's walking is 'cause I've had a crossbow strapped to my back everytime. (I'm trying to cure a varmint problem, coyotes especially.) And walking with a crossbow on yer back, and bolts in yer pocket ain't comfertable.

    Oh. I though they usually had cougars.
    It would be terribly ironic if you knocked out a Poochyena with something like Extreemspeed when that happened. :P

    Yes they are.

    Well, he was old, so he might have had some form of schizophrenia or dementia. Mi that with a years of drugs and you have him. xP

    Report him, maybe?~ Or just wear a gas mask.

    It does take a bit of practice.
    Well, A couple from Call of Duty... for the German, "zis, iz zeh monkey... of POWEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR!". For the Russian, "STAY AWAY FROM MY VODKA!". Yeah. I realize that makes me look weird.
    Also, I am a decent Scot impersonater. Me and one of my friends both use Scottish accents occasionally. :D

    Yup. Just how I like it.

    It would be...

    Both. All three, actually, though only twice in the ocean.
    Yes. We should have a battle with only magikarps. I don't know how that will work out but it will be awesome.

    D: You get to use your calculator on your calc final? Not fair :( We had a calculator section and a non-calculator section, and we have to "show our work" for both sections so we couldn't guess... Oh well. I have an A so it's okay. And formulas are basically the worst part with calculus, so you should be fine~ G'luck!

    I dunno, the email they sent said "technical difficulties". But the new design has a pachirisu on the back, so it's still pretty awesome :3

    What about... Quite Delicious If Steamed With Green Onions?
    That would be nice! But a bit hard to program... personally, I like how they handled it in Stadium + Stadium 2 with the Pokemon changing shades of their original colours slightly depending on nickname. I just wish they'd do that in games nowadays.

    Yes! It is. A Spirit Form develops as one grows, so a person isn't just born with a specific Creation. When they're young, it's a shapeless blob.

    She destroyed it and her own clothes, pretty much. They were all just standing there, burnt with ripped clothing. And yes, it is! It happens when she's feeling other strong emotions too. Ha ha, I'm glad you think it's awesome and amusing.

    My teacher was quite helpful, I'll admit. Before I took that class, things were kinda fuzzy. Oh, a family member? That's good! And true, her writing is easy to read and understand. Until you get to the CSS part... then it gets kinda doopy. Think you should get more used to HTML, yeah, before you go to CSS. Aah, you're welcome! The website is useful for looking at a wide variety of tags and such.

    Oh, that's just one of those things that depend on people's taste. Some people like that, other people prefer a more casual tone. I can like either, it depends on which fits the story better. You need to adapt different styles for different stories.

    There has to be more than one in any case! How would people all around the world with Pokemon games be able to catch multiples of the same species? Oh, really? I guess I can understand that... it's been done to death, the whole Legendary/journey thing. But I think people get tired of Legendaries only when the story revolves around them rather than just happening to feature them at random. Although I can see why they'd get irritated at a Legendary too. Probably seems kinda Mary-Sueish to have one to them. Aah, Raikou sounds like he'll be an interesting character.

    Ah, thank you. :3 The first is a birthday gift for someone, yeah. And it IS a Mightyena, silly. XD It's two of our characters. I'm actually not sure what Scorch Trine does yet, but I'm sure it'll involve fire and the number three in some way.

    Oh, the club's for any type of art; digital or traditional. All sorts of artists there. For the digital, it'd be best to purchase a tablet. My tablet came with its own software for making art, but I already had Photoshop, so I didn't use it. So a tablet might remedy all those problems. If it doesn't come with software though, I recommend Paint.NET which is nice and easy to use, a good program for beginners. It's also free.

    Ah, sounds like a journal I keep. I lose focus a lot too and what I write depends on my mood. To try to make it more organized, I've started putting separate topics in entries into their own sections... so I can look through them at ease. But I haven't had mine as long as yours! How big is yours?

    I've only really deleted things like Coughing Cupboard and one where I had a panic attack about my computer and asked a question to which a very unhelpful person just told me to "Google it" and I didn't really go back to it again despite there having been more answers. I also delete them so other people have less chance of stumbling upon my stupidity...

    It is a good thing... but I can understand being nervous too. I avoid speaking in front of people as much as usual.

    Ha ha, yeah, that's true that they might make online friends. But not... serious ones, you know? To them, the internet's more of a place of leisure than a place of necessity it is to me... and that sort of caused misunderstanding since it's just a lot of Facebook, if that makes sense. They viewed me as odd for being attached to internet people like that.

    The same thing sort of happened to me. I only got into it on my last year of high school... but it seems you didn't get into it at all. That's a shame... was your schedule really so rigid?
    Ah, thank you. :3 I wanted to make every one special, yeah. That's one of the few things that bugs me about Pokemon: there just doesn't seem to be that much variation in individuals asides from Formes and Spinda. But I can kinda see how you like the eyes. And yeah, the blonde mane is his hair. Everyone in the story has a Creation form they can take called their Spirit Form, which is the form of their soul. And well, Spirit Forms usually have something distinct from the human form that separates it from the normal species.

    Well, there was one where everyone was dancing and she had no idea what was going on or how to dance. So she blew up and the music sort of... was gone. They all laughed afterwards though.

    Ah, you don't have to take a class! But it could help clear things up a bit than just reading up yourself. I did learn a bit from that class and it helped me make more sense of it. I'd recommend Butterfree's HTML guide, which also goes into CSS. It's a really good place to learn. Or incidentally, this website.

    Oh, that's not a bad thing to describe action or battles or setting or anything! I'm not too good at that, to be honest. I tend to be very vague... guess that's why a script format works for me. But it sounds kinda cool, kinda fancy. An elevated tone has its perks, definitely.

    Oh nah, that's technically not out of canon since in the games, you can do it. Catch them, I mean. And realistically speaking, even if it's not canonical, legendaries probably should be able to breed and there probably isn't just one of every species. Even if you just came up with it randomly, I don't think the scene would be as impacting if it were just any other Pokemon. Raikou makes it more serious somehow.

    Oh, thank you! That was actually for something I was hosting on here for a club... Obsessive Scribbler's Club. An art contest in which there were various categories, pretty much. And aah, I forgot this too. For the drawings I did in December. Yeah, especially if you have more things to do than I do, I can't imagine it'd be easy.

    That makes sense, that you'd get into the routine. So what sort of things do you write about, exactly? Just about what happened on your days? Heh, yeah... I have this odd deletion impulse. Sometimes it's hard to resist. There have been a few times where I've gone and deleted a few old threads I've created.

    They are in some senses and in others just feel like baggage. But I'm glad to hear that! What sort of things are you planning on acomplishing?

    Oh, Speech, as the teacher said, is actually more designed for people who get shy and nervous than for confident people. He said that the latter need it less. I would tremble too and have these mini panic attacks, but I got through it. They were pretty lenient in that class. Ah, but I'm sure a lot of them were weirded out... they kept asking too many questions and I eventually had to reveal that about 99.9% of my friends were from the internet and y'know, these are... typical school kids who probably have real life friends and don't understand the concept of the internet beyond LOL FACEBOOK or as a place where you can make significant connections. You had it offered at your school, Web Design? You didn't take it?
    Ah, yeah. That's the term. But anyway, more snow, more melt, more freeeze, now it's raining a lot. xD

    It did do it for me.
    ...Also, maybe my alien paranoia is why I keep knives in my room. :P

    *Spaghettification, though my spelling might be wrong. >_>

    Maybe. :O Also, my New Year's Resolution is to get better at running.

    Go to a zoo, maybe? :P

    ...coyotes are for shooting, not running over! :|

    Yup. They will be all ovah zeh floor, und zeh valls und zeh cieling! (Also, Edward Richtofen quote on anti-tank weapons. :D)

    The best part is that I don't think he even owns a gun, and I don't think Smith is real. :D
    ...DRUGS ARE BAD.
    I'd avoid gory medical stories, too.

    It actually sounds decent.

    Ah.
    I'm basically the only one with a decent Russian accent. xD I practice it, and a German one randomly throughout my day.

    It's a nice place, plus it has good weather, so...

    If I try it, I'll tell youthe results. Or I'll video it, especially if it's in public so I can see kids' horrified expressions.

    Salmon, mostly. Sometimes I fly-fish for trout, though.
    It was actually amazing. I got 3 christmas dinners. That means 3 times the family, fun and food. And I spent new years with my gf, which was great. Overall a pretty good break. And I slept in, finally.
    That's true! Or you can just Splash everyone to death. It's OHKO, after all!

    90.4% !!! I got away with an A. :D Thanks for your help! I can help you with Calc if you want; I have a lowish A in that class but it's mostly due to my forgetting to memorize the formulas before a test. (D: Dawww... That sucks. If it makes you feel any better, I was going to get an awesome math-pun shirt for Math Club, but they ran into some technical difficulties, and now we don't have awesome math puns anymore...)
    Ah, not every Creation has gender differences though! Only some. I really try to differentiate individuals between each other by sort of making them looser in design. I define a few colour ranges that Creations can be and stuff, rather than giving the specific species a specific colour. Not all of them have the same markings like that either. It varies on individual. But ah! The males have more clawlike feet, rather than normal paws. Here's one! That's not actually a good example of the species though, that's actually the afformentioned Water guy. He's able to take the form of a Favaviel. The whole blonde mane thing is just specific to him, and isn't normal for the species. But aah, a lot of Pokemon don't have gender differences anyway! So not like you're neglecting much.

    Oh, nobody's actually really seriously hurt by her explosions... for the most part. But I guess he's more resistant. Heh, after the whole thing blew over though, they made up and apologized and all. Ah, that was a favourite one of mine. :3

    All in due time! And yeah, it is pretty... complicated, some of it. I taught myself a few bits, some learned from a class in school. Still haven't mastered CSS. The best way to start for making layouts is with tables, since they're really simple to grasp. Good luck with that. And definitely show me if you have anything up.

    Aaww, thanks. :3 I guess I do find script format a bit... easier since it allows for less action and more talking. But uh, how long have you been doing any sort of... writing practice? And how do you prefer to write? What sort of style?

    Ooh, I think that's sort of cool how he passed out from blood loss. In a realistic way. It adds to the seriousness of the moment. So in your story, trainers capture legendary Pokemon more regularly? I've seen in some that they aren't captured or anything like that, mostly in the anime.

    Heh, math is awful. I don't think I need to ramble one more time about how I dislike it though. I think it provides a lot of the workload!

    It was cool, but... I got really behind and had to do eight drawings on the last day and well... I usually take a really long time... so it was a bit of hell. Ahaha. I was relieved when I finished! Here's all of them though for the month. Some of them are characters from the story with the Water guy and exploding chick and stuff. Ah, good luck if you do. It is... quite a ways. You get so much done, that's the advantage.

    Really? Whoa, that's a long time to keep a journal... whenever I've tried to do that, I'd always go back and end up ripping them up because I have these odd urges to delete the past sometimes. Most of my records, as a result, are actually chatlogs I have with various friends. I have around two years of these sorts. Before that, I had to use pure memory. But thank you! How's the New Year been for you so far?

    Gosh, I used to all the time too. I'd only advance like three questions in the span of an hour. They probably would've been easier, yeah, than Physics. I took uh... well, Web Design 1 was a notable one. Where I learned a lot of my HTML knowledge! Wish I could've been around to take 2... and Speech class, one of my favourites! Basically, you just stand up in front of people and make speeches. I have some videos recorded of my speeches, because a lot of them were about online friends and stuff. I can't really remember what else I did... man, I forgot school already.
    Haha, I was just trolling everyone, but hey... :3

    English is going fine, I hope. It seems like we'll get our grades on Friday, so we'll see then...
