• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    How many words do you know?

    30,100. According to the page, most native English-speaking adults are in the 20,000 to 35,000 range... so I guess that at least being on the middle/upper end of that is pretty good.

    Misreadings and stuff

    I misread "Pedobear" here as "Polar bear." Which I guess means my mind is finally starting to come up with a counter to all the Internet-scum I've been seeing all over the place: turn it into better things when I read it. This could be really useful if it keeps happening.

    TMI Time: Virginity

    Yeah... that's a common (and incredibly stupid) misconception, unfortunately. I've seriously seen people claim that a guy and a girl can never just be friends, and that somehow there will always be some sort of feelings involved beyond that... even though, if they actually looked, I'm sure they...

    TMI Time: Virginity

    Of course. I have at least gone on dates now (after almost 25 years of having no luck with girls at all)... but still no kissing yet, and it's pretty unlikely that anything beyond that is going to happen anytime soon. Especially since 99% of the girls I know at the moment are Mormons, with...

    Misreadings and stuff

    The title of a news article I saw just a few minutes ago: "Inmate filed for gigantic tax refund." On my first glance I read this as "Inmate fled from gigantic t-rex."

    I just now (as in, 10 seconds before posting this) misread "last chance to let your voice be heard" as "last chance to voice your beard"...

    Early Series Weirdness

    I don't consider the mentions of South America (and China, and the USA) to be "early series weirdness." If anything should be discarded as "early series weirdness," it's the Pokédex entries that mention Indian elephants even though none of the games, even the earliest ones, had any other...

    I misread "iridescent" as "indecent" just a couple minutes ago... it was one of that short-story-generator thing's example words.

    Arceus mentioned on most recent episode of House

    Actually, he pronounced it right. They intentionally pronounced it wrong in the dubbed anime to avoid having a Pokémon with a name that sounds like "arse."

    DREAMS.

    A couple of odd ones lately. In one, I was standing around in my mom's kitchen when suddenly the phone started ringing. I let it ring a few times, and I remember dream-me noticing that it sounded different than the normal ring somehow (though I can't remember what it did sound like.) Picked...

    "Affordable computer repair rates" as "Adorable computer repair rates" on a sign outside a computer/electronics/appliance repair shop in town. I guess they only fix "cute" computers? Whatever that would even mean...

    Imperial or Metric?

    Mostly the imperial system (inch/foot/yard, pound, etc.), though I've always had trouble with the ridiculous liquid measurements in that system (cups, pints, quarts, gallons, etc.) and can never remember exactly how many of what goes into the other. Liters/mililiters seems to make a lot more...

    Post amusingly bad old stories of yours!

    Here's one of the first things I ever wrote. It's also pretty crappy... though considering that I was 7 years old when I wrote it, a few of my later stories might be worse in "relative crappiness." Mainly my first (and last) completed Pokémon fanfic, Eddie and the Food Pokémon, which I wrote...

    What's the best theme?

    The only ones I've actually heard are the original, Johto, Diamond & Pearl, and... one of the more recent ones than that, I think, though I can't remember which one it was. Did the episode where Ash randomly gets most of his Johto team back just in time for the start of the league tournament...

    DREAMS.

    Had several odd dreams recently, so I'll post them here. (Copy-and-paste'd from my "keeping track of weird dreams" text files, pretty much unedited except for the little notes added in italics here and there.) ==== Apparently Julia [my little sister] and I were talking about some movie that...

    Your file directories

    Most of my stuff is in a folder called... "Eddiestuff." Inside that folder are other folders for... A bunch of roguelike games (ADoM, Angband, ZAngband, Crawl, Nethack, several versions of ToME) Algorithmate (a program for calculating RPG Maker 2000 battle damage) "DBZ", which is pictures of...

    Your 100th post.

    If I counted things up right on the search-results page, my 100th post was... some Wonder Mail codes for Mystery Dungeon 2 that came from the back of the Gamestop Deoxys flyer. In other words, this post.

    Odd HM Slaves?

    I never really use HM slaves much. I just teach the HM moves to Pokémon on my regular team, erasing the really crappy ones (Cut, Flash, Rock Smash, Whirlpool) as soon as I get the chance and usually keeping the rest around for the whole game (especially Surf and Fly.) I think I did have a Mew...

    Clefairy Says

    I'm pretty sure this was my least-favorite Pokémon Stadium minigame. XD (I liked the Lickitungs-eating-sushi game, though. And the Magikarp one. Actually, I seem to remember playing pretty much all of them fairly often last time I played Pokémon Stadium... except the Clefairy one.)

    Would you ban religion if you had the power to?

    Without religion, we'd just find something else to argue and pointlessly kill each other over. And trying to ban religion would just give the religious people a reason to be violent (a good reason, even--for once, it's not all in their head... they actually are being oppressed!), so if someone...
