.... Man, I forgot about this thing. Sorry LJ, I've been neglecting you for FaceBook. My bad. :v

Honestly nothing's been happening in my life worthy of talking about. I'm failing my first college class ever and I got Arceus from a Pokemon Event (still waiting for HGSS. Dammit why does it have to come out in the spring? Also thanks to Pixiv, Morty's now my favourite character and it's all thanks to three days of fanart binging for no reason).

Aaaaaaaand I'm doing a meme because I am just. that. interesting.

You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

( The irony is staggering. )

sdfsadfas OOOOMMMGGG. Ok so I went to Mitsuwa for Japanese class. A Japanese Market in the US. And the place is freaking HUEG. AND THEY'VE GOT well ok not everything but ALOT. So I piss about for 3 hours and

( THIS IS WHAT I BOUGHT! )

My wallet hates me so much right now I just know it.

Also, if you liked my digression on Newton and Leibniz, but want to be more confused, try here: http://xkcd.com/626/

.. WAT.
My Calculus teacher likes XKCD. Holy crap.

Anyway. College has been amazing and uneventful at the same time. I've been pissing about for the whole week because all of my classes are a) afternoon classes and b) begin at 1 pm and end at 4 pm. That leaves my entire day free to do nothing from the late afternoon on. I'm thinking about joining the Japanese Club and the newspaper. I do need to see if I can get some info on the newspaper because I missed their booth at the activities fair. ): My roommate's pretty cool. We hardly talk but that's fine as long as we don't hate each other, I suppose. I also love my dorm. I have such a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan from my window. I also made a new friend on the first day~. I don't know if we've got anything in common but it is so fun just hanging out with her.

Right now I'm home for the weekend. God, I missed my cat. .....And my family. I missed them too of course.

dsafsafaf aaaaaaaaaa college in 7 hours.

No laptop (yet) = no internet for a week, boooo. ): Oh how will I survive?

My friend really needs to stop talking about how Project Natal will put the Wii out of business. The only basis for his "trufax" opinion is the fact that Project Natal is motion-sensing and the Wii is motion-sensing therefore every Wii owner or future owner is going to start flocking to Microsoft to buy an Xbox. It's like saying Pizza Hut's pasta dishes are going to put the Olive Garden out of business. It's absurd. :/ And he's only saying this because he neglects his Wii in favour of shooting zombies in Left 4 Dead.

Nintendo panders to casual gamers and Microsoft panders to the more hardcore gaming crowd. I hardly think sales of Nintendo products will fall because the people who pretend to be a professional tennis player will suddenly have the urge to be a pretend post-zombie apocalypse survivor.

Well in any case, no matter how fantasmical Project Natal is or will be, Nintendo will still have my money. And i won't stop giggling at how Microsoft's new motion sensor is a synonym for giving birth.

I don't know whether to laugh at the batshit crazy that happened today.

On one hand: lol someone threatened to torch my house because of my brother and his moronic actions. At first you don't succeed, fire solves everything apparently. :v
On the other hand: well, fire bad obvs.

This... I... um... college starts in 3 weeks \o/?

Well we could live in our car. I hear the hippie life is pretty groovy.

Baw, my life is so boring as of recently.

My dorm mate is pretty nice. She apparently spent the summer in Ireland, lucky girl.
Mom's car doesn't work which means she can't get to work which means no money to get the things I need for college (bedsheets, etc.).
Brother's car is trying to work.
I still don't know how or if the last bit of the tuition I owe is gonna get paid off.
Only a month until I go to college.

Oh joy. My life is simultaneously looking up and looking like shit at the same time.

HAY GAIZ IT'S OFFICIALLY THE 12TH AND THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO ME~!

LOOK AT ME, I CAN DO SPARKLY TEXT.


Now to decide my birthday movie: Public Enemies or Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. On one hand: my favourite era in American history and Johnny Depp. On the other: a fantasy movie I can't pass up because I'm a nerd that needs to be seen in theaters to get the full feel of the special effects.

Decisions, decisions...

So I picked up my oldoldoldold like Pokemon YELLOW old Pokemon games just for the sake of self-inflicted nostalgia.

It made me realise that I have NEVER beaten the Elite Four before Pokemon Pearl. I own 11 out of the 14 (soon to be 16!) Pokemon games and only two I remember of have been beaten all the way through, maybe three if I beat Red but I don't think so. One of which is my mom's game data and she beat the Elite Four in that game.
I remember it was because I would HAVE to level-grind to be at least on par with the Champion which meant leveling up at least 5-10 levels. By the time I done grinding I was all "GOD I'M SO BORED. MOVING ON." and that was it. After I got through Pearl and was level-grinding for THIS Elite Four my friend basically said to me "Stop being such a sissy, buy a hell of a lot of Revives and Max Potions, and get your ass in that battle."
And I did.
And I won.
:|

I remember being so amazed at the fact that Gold/Silver/Crystal had COLOR because IT WAS LIKE THE CUTTING EDGE OF VIDEO GAME GRAPHICS OMG YOU GAIZ.

I also remember getting through half of Red using only my Bulbasaur. I had a level 47 Venusaur by the time I got to LT. Surge. LT. Surge's highest level pokemon is 25 btw. (:

And here I am, 10 years later, still fagging over Pokemon. I'm sure, if the Pokemon franchise doesn't die anytime soon, I'm still going to be fagging over Pokemon 10 more years from now.

So I go to Best Buy to have the Geek Squad look as my iPod (which didn't work). So I give my iPod to the dude at the counter and explain that the click wheel wasn't doing anything.

He turns on my iPod, jimmies the wheel, looks at me and goes "I see nothing wrong with this".
.....SDFAFSADF WELL IT WASN'T WORKING TWO DAYS AGO WTH. This happens all the time for me. Something of mine breaks, I go to get it fixed/replaced and then suddenly nothing's wrong!

Well, at least I bought Pokemon Platinum. That counts as an upside, I guess.


On a less angsting-over-my-poor-luck note, TRANSFORMERS 2 IS A FSCKING AMAZING MOVIE OMG. SO MUCH SHIT BLOWS UP.

When mom said that we'd have a very hot summer she wasn't kidding.

God, I'm never complaining about 60 F weather in June ever again.

So my iPod false alarm was a false alarm.

FUCK.

My iPod might be broken. Great.

The crimson tide rose today which would explain the iPod breakage seeing as how Worst Day Ever is a required event every time The Hell That Is Female Maturity hits.

So, my laptop funds will have to take a backseat for a replacement iPod in the event that the damage is irreversible. I can survive laptopless... ness in college until I can scrape up the money to buy one but I can't really do that with an mp3 player.

I'm so materialistic. Tyler Durden would hate me.

ETA: It works! No replacement iPod for Erin, woo!

I swear my iPod is a freaking zombie. All the shit I've put it through and it just won't die.

Apparently being an Extreme Omnivore is backfiring on me.

( Cut because of a *little* TMI )

Man, I love how I can go from sad and nostalgic to freaking out in no time.

It's because of Mr. Johnson that I fell in love with this song. Now it's because of him I'm probably gonna cry every time I hear this song.

Probably wasn't a good idea to put it on my iPod, heh.

I beat TWEWY! I consider this a major accomplishment because I usually lose the resolve to finish games halfway through.

It only took me a year to finish.
Why does this fact make me feel like a dweeb?

Shame a sequel doesn't seem too likely.

I had a dream last night that I was surfing Livejournal and I lost the game.

I... huh... It was a pretty mundane dream, too, which is bizarre as hell.

Graduation is Saturday.

I'm so excited but at the same time I'm sad as hell. Twelve years. Twelve years I grew up with all the kids I'm graduating with. It's so depressing to know that after Saturday I'm probably never gonna see most, if not all, of them ever again.

I kept telling myself for a year that "I can't wait to get the hell out of this place and start over with different people in a different town. Maybe I'll have more luck making friends when I go to college and start all over" but now I don't want to give up what I've got. Sure things sucked and I grew to dislike a majority of the people my own age but it wasn't all bad. I met some really awesome people and had some amazing teachers.

Ironic that I kept saying that my life was a train wreck and everything would be better if I just got out and never looked back and now all I want to do is stay put and keep everything the way it is.

God, I really do hate irony.
