A fuzzy hot-water bottle cover shaped like a Typhlosion, it would be the coziest thing on a cold winter's day. Or a pen that looks like Mami Tomoe, with a removable cap shaped like her head. I also had a dream where I had this Samurott figurine which had a USB stick in its sword, which you could plug in by removing the tip.

I need those things in my life, and they don't even exist ._. ]]> Winterdaze http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/49127/merch-madness-56537/ <![CDATA[Can't sleep, tornadoes will eat me]]> http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/49127/cant-sleep-tornadoes-will-eat-me-55723/ Mon, 21 Jan 2013 00:22:28 GMT At least once a month, for as long as I can remember, I have had this dream about being sucked into a tornado.

At least once a month, for as long as I can remember, I have had this dream about being sucked into a tornado. While the setting and other events vary, one thing is always the same, when the tornado comes towards me I try to run away but I run reeeally slow, like the tornado is sucking away all my speed. It’s annoying, because then I wake up and always get a shitty night’s sleep afterwards. Perhaps the dream is prophetic and one day I really will be sucked into one, or maybe my subconscious is just trying to tell me that I suck in general.

What about you guys, what kind of recurring dreams do you have? Tell me and I’ll give you my completely professional interpretation of exactly what’s wrong with you. ]]> Winterdaze http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/49127/cant-sleep-tornadoes-will-eat-me-55723/ windazu moduca http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/49127/windazu-moduca-54456/ Thu, 06 Dec 2012 01:12:36 GMT Windazu what is it Itruru become Moduca why do because Windazu

My trainer's name is Dipper by the way, and the team is currently Servine (Blackadder), Flaafy (Shaun) and Venipede (Faye). The music for the new routes is amazing, and I love the huge crunchy leaf piles on Route 20. Also your friendship with the rival is very heterosexual.

So in case it wasn’t obvious, I got Black 2 since it finally came out in Australasia today, and I must say so far it’s been well worth the baleful looks of judgement I received from the store clerks. Don’t worry Europe, there’ll be plenty of that for you too before you know it! ]]> Winterdaze http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/49127/npcs-keep-offering-me-their-balls-52938/ Sirocco the Kākāpō http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/49127/sirocco-k%C4%81k%C4%81p%C5%8D-52869/ Tue, 09 Oct 2012 04:15:55 GMT So I recently got to do something I’ve wanted to do since I was a little kid, which was to meet a real live Kākāpō; a flightless nocturnal parrot and one of the rarest birds in the world.

So I recently got to do something I’ve wanted to do since I was a little kid, which was to meet a real live Kākāpō; a flightless nocturnal parrot and one of the rarest birds in the world. The Kākāpō in question is named Sirocco, who is rather infamous for bumping uglies with a zoologist’s head in the company of Stephen Fry.

I tried to take some decent photos, I really did. But it was dark, and my camera sucks, and also I suck at using it OTL




No, I didn’t take the last one, but my pictures don’t really capture how adorable and beautiful he is. Or how he liked to play with the zipper on his handler’s fly and screech at children. That’s what surprised me the most I think, how he was so friendly, cheeky and full of personality.

I noticed a couple of weird things while meeting him. Kākāpō kind of smell like flowers. A rare case of natural selection getting the body odour thing right methinks. Also their claws are huge and look really weird, like they belong on a reptile. Probably a testament to just how ancient these birds are.

I’m just so happy that a got to see one for real, and with programmes in motion to re-introduce them to certain nature preserves on the mainland, hopefully lots of other people will get the chance to as well. ]]> Winterdaze http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/49127/sirocco-k%C4%81k%C4%81p%C5%8D-52869/ Why none of you guys would make good mods http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/49127/why-none-you-guys-would-make-good-mods-52409/ Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:40:33 GMT -I bet none of you own a scooter, two piece suit or one of those little RAF badges.

Then how does one accomplish such a monotonous and utterly pointless feat? By being undead of course. If not, then you're doing it wrong, since wasting time is supposed to be fun. I spent a lot of time in the last five weeks I've been without internet on proactive, life-improving things.
It was horrible.
It feels good to be back.

That much is fact. But curiously enough I have noticed that sometimes it feels like I never lost it, only to realise I'm still without a connection.
I'm finding myself browsing tumblr in my sleep. Google maps seems to project shortcuts along the backroads staight into my head, and they work some of the time! Occasionally I'll be sitting under a tree and sound of the rustling leaves will rearrange itself into irate people complaining about Iris. In a way, it's like the internet never left.

In other news I've recently befriended this enormous turkey after it started scavanging my breakfast cereal off the front lawn. Seriously this bird is like the Orson Welles of turkeys. I'm trying to think up a name, and I might go with Luna, since she's roughly the size of the moon.

Sure, let's go with that.
I was going to post a hateful rant about certain relatives that are currently staying at my house, but now I think it would be more productive to turn my energies toward solving more important quandaries. Er, relatively speaking.

Perhaps I feed off the misery everyone else seems to have about the change of season.
But how could anyone be miserable when the city's centre square is going to be turned into a freaking ice skating rink? Think of the whimsy and fun to be had...and all the fat people falling on their asses.
