Too young for love

L-05308 — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:57:42 GMT

Well, seriously I am 18 years old and nursing a broken heart.

It's acceptable to fancy someone; be attracted to them but 'Love' is such a strong word. Does anyone think I'm being silly?

I know I am in love. Everything I was ever taught about the feeling of love is present. Nobody is perfect; that is like one of the most obvious laws of humanity. Love is seeing someone imperfect and seeing them perfectly. I am aware of her flaws but I can't fault them and re-figure them to be her best points. For example, her two front teeth are funny colours; it’s not her fault: she fell over when she was little and the nerves had to be taken out. I had always maintained that I find good teeth very attractive, but her teeth are among the things I really love about this girl. When she smiles, she grins; always with those teeth on display because she doesn’t care if people are looking at them and making opinions. To me, this says so much about who she is and how strong a women she is. Her smile is by far my favourite thing about her for those reasons, not simply because its pretty. If we fell madly in love with everyone who was attractive to us; heart break would become an everyday thing.

I'm not saying this girl isn't completely gorgeous; her long wavy hair was probably enough to make me turn in to a real life representation of Brock. She doesn't act like she knows she is gorgeous, she doesn’t think she is bad looking but she never gives her good looks much thought. She doesn't really boast any of her strengths. She has the impression she isn't that clever but she absorbs and retains so much information, there is no way that can actually be true. Modesty makes me like this girl. Especially since I can be so egotistical sometimes.

And that's the thing; I really need to be falling out of love with this girl. Every bad point I can think of about her is either to superficial to change my mind or is exactly the same as myself, therefore; hypocritical.

Basically, she likes someone else, he is also a close friend so I am comfortable that their relationship is nice for her. She knows if she wanted me, she could have me. She doesn't want me though, she is happy with this guy. I suppose the question I am asking any potential reader is 'How does one fall out of love with a perfect girl who he will be seeing almost every day?'

Much obliged Bulba garden :)

Meloetta

Let's talk moveset:

Standard moves

Nothing special here, though more powerful in Pirouette Forme .

Special

Aria Forme: Psyshock. Practically Mewtwo's Shadow Ball or Lucario's Aura Sphere.

Pirouette Forme: Focus Blast. The same move essentially but it manages a shorter distance while being a bit larger.

Side Special

U-turn. Meloetta flings itself forward, maybe three paces forward, and then six paces backwards straight after. Meloetta would glow and cause damage as it does this. More powerful in Pirouette Forme.

Up Special

Acrobatics. Meloetta brings to the left or right, flipping, and delivers a devestating kick to any enemy it hits, rebounding of them and acheiving even greater height. More powerful in Pirouette Forme.

Down Special

Aria Forme: Perish Song. Just like Jigglypuff's. Instead of giving the opponent a flower; the move makes them dazed when they land.

Pirouette Forme: Low Sweep. A sharp kick to the opponent, instantly triping them.

Final Smash

Aria Forme: Relic Song. Meloetta flies to the center of the screen and sings her song; sending three powerful sound waves across the whole stage. It then turns into Pirouette Forme.

Pirouette Forme: Close Combat. Just like Ike's. Meloetta sweeps up any character infront of it and delivers a brutal attack.

Meloetta could also have Wake-Up-Slap, should it grab an opponent that is sleeping. It will revert to Aria Forme after being KOed.

Yeah, I am doing this. Having wanted to do this for quite some time; I am going to be posting who I'd like to see in the 4th Smash Brothers game and explaining how they will work. Here we go!

Prince Fluff

In conjunction with Chuggaaconroy starting Let's Play 20; here he is. Not only in Prince Fluff super cute; his design would make him unique in Smash Brothers the same way that Mr. Game & Watch is.

Let's talk moveset:

Standard moves

Not at all unlike Kirby's.

Special

The Yarn. Imagine being able to hold on to your opponent and walk around with them! Briefly of course; 2 seconds? They can then be thrown and will act as projectiles themselves if they hit another enemy. This could also be done in co-op; with the partner not being hurt.

Side Special

Car. Fluff would just take the form of a car and smash into people, just like Wario's bike.

Up Special

Spring and Parachute. Fluff simply springs up like DeDeDe. He then floats down as a Parachute, damaging people who touch him from above.

Down Special

Weight. Just like Kirby's.

Final Smash

Tank. It can hover, fire rockets; not to different to the land master really.

On top of all that the Yarn gives him long distance grab and teather recovary. His main downside is, he will be a very light character.

I'm going to get myself going with a few more characters tonight while I have the spare time. I actual did get in to uni, I should probaly blog about that sometime.

It was the summer of 2012...

L-05308 — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:07:37 GMT

Well now that the string of August events I had on my list are over, this feels like a good time to report back to this glorious community of complete strangers that graciously take a break from complaining about all the things rung with Pokémon (Sorry if I sound bitter, but I'm an anime fan!) and support the bloggers of the internet.

The Olympics were great, can't say I actually cared about them until they started. I was more interested in 'London 2012' then the actual Olympics. I watched the opening and closing ceremonies from start to finish, watched loads of the events and I even spent a lot of time playing Mario and Sonic at the London Olympic Games.

So my friend, Alex, came to stay at my house for a full two weeks for my birthday celebrations. We sat around over the weekend doing absolutely nothing but by my birthday on the 7th of August we never sat down. That Tuesday we went out to the Real China, Chinese buffet. Me, Alex, my brother, Sister, Mum, step Dad, Auntie Mel and her sister Migella (Irish name), Uncle Stuart and Baby Harry all had a great meal out. It had seemed I'd gone the whole night without doing something stupid until I picked up a small pot of mango moose. It was in a small plastic cup, smaller than a shot glass, I asked "How am I supposed to get this out?" and my brother suggested I squeezed it out. I'd think he expected me to turn the pot over my bowl of ice cream, I didn't, I actually squeezed it between my finger and thumb while holding it in front of me. SPLAT! It exploded all over me! This was a good time to leave.

I had been to the cinema with Alex twice, to see Seth Green's Ted and Pixar’s Brave, and Thorpe Park with him, my brother and sister, before my massive 18th birthday party on the Saturday. I don't know about the rest of the world but in England there is a big thing nowadays about your first legal drink. I always preach that "Your alcohol intake does not equate to your age or manhood", I was saying that in the run up to my party, I was saying it during the part, and I'm still saying it now. However, I was hammered, every time someone offered me a drink or told me to try something, I did. I gave in to peer pressure all night! I even did a line of thirteen shots, one of every flavour they had. I know what your supposed to do is knock them back really quickly, I wasn't gonna do that, I had my new shirt on. I picked them up one by one and I carefully sipped them, making sure I spilt nothing. Afterwards, I ran to the bathroom, everyone thought I was dying in there but I was just washing my hands. The next morning, I don't know if I had a hangover or not, I felt a bit funny but I wasn't sick or anything, I was pretty determined not to be the same as you see on TV so I was gung ho trying to get everyone to do stuff, but I think they just wanted to sleep.

My Ucas tariff came up a bit short, long story short, after discussing it with just about everyone, I decided to do a third year at college.

Last Friday saw my Cousin Jodie's wedding, growing up she was practically my big sister, in a family like ours its hard not to be so close. That morning, getting ready at my Grandma's, I was full of beans. So excited, I woke up at eight o'clock. Well I got ready right as rain but my Grandma of course came down stairs "I hate this outfit" she said, never likes the outfit she buys for weddings. Granddad came down stairs "I hate this suit" he said. I'll now start writing in script format to convey the comedy of the situation.

Granddad: How'd you tie this cravat, Rosie?
Grandma: I don't bloody know. Carol will do it for you when she's here.

Carol is my Grandma's sister, her and her husband Ray live in Leeds and was stopping at Grandma's before they went to the wedding venue. You see my Uncle Ray has a BMW so whenever there is a wedding we dress it up in ribbons and he drives the bride to the ceremony, my Granddad was giving Jodie away so he also had to pick him up.

Me: I forgot NY cufflinks Grandma
Grandma: Your Grandad'll have some spare
Granddad: Take your pick

My Grandma spied the cufflinks that Granddad had picked for himself; they were little white ovals with a golden outline. One had a smiley face on it and the other had a sad face.

Grandma: Oh, God, look at them!
Granddad: One for a wedding, one for a funeral.
Me: You know something we don't know?
Grandma: You're not wearing those, are ya?
Granddad: Yeah. No one'll see 'em. Unless I pass out.

Out of interest, what are your first impressions of my Grandparents?

Later on after my Uncle Ray and Granddad left, the four of us were about to leave.

Grandma: Right Mike, are we gonna get going?

(My father and his father are both called Michael)

Dad: Let me finish my sandwich.
BOOM!
Grandma: BLOODY HELL! IF YOU GET BACON ALL OVER THAT SUIT I'LL KILL YA. I offered you a sandwich before you got dressed!
Auntie Carol: Oh, Rosie calm down. We're going now.

In the car...

Grandma: What time is it?
Dad: 10 to 2.
Grandma: We need to be there for 2!
Dad: I thought it were at half 2?
Grandma: If we're late Michael...

She was interrupted by Carol's phone, which she put on loud speaker.

Uncle Ray: There's been a road diversion; we can't find our way to the hotel.

By this point my Grandma was pretty hysterical.

Dad: Don't worry mum, if Jodie's late it takes the pressure of us.
Carol: Tom, ring your Auntie Karen and get the number for the hotel.

Auntie Karen is Jodie's mother and my dad's sister.

Me: She's not answering.
Grandma: She never answers her phone, that girl. Both my kids never answer their phone Carol.
Dad: Go on the internet with ya phone Tom and find the number for the hotel.
Me: Got it
Carol: I'll ring Ray then

To make matters worse Uncle Ray wasn't answering the phone, I'm not sure how they found Jodie in the end, but don't threat, they did.

We finally arrived at the venue and nothing went wrong after that. Well Dad almost ran Grandma over, but after that the wedding went just as planned. I'll perhaps tell you all more when we get the photos.

As always, thank you for reading and fuelling by massive ego, until next time, good bye.

Best AMV ever!

An update on the magical happening that is my life.

L-05308 — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 13:33:25 GMT

Back on the blogging scene today, it’s been a while, so I thought I would pretentiously tell you all what's been going on as of late.

So I finished college and all my exams. I'm now enduring a painful wait till August where I will be receiving those all-important A-level results. Providing I get the grades, which are not too high, straight Cs, I will be attending the university of Portsmouth to study English and Creative writing. You can expect my first book in stalls in about 5 years :P But seriously, I do want to be a writer and actually 5 years sounds like a good goal. Of course, leaving college is a sad affair. Our leaver’s assembly was set up like a Diamond jubilee party, as it was the day before. A presentation of photos was shown and I appeared with a gross face, dressed up like a Zombie with someone dressed as E.T., I also got a mention from the Head boy who I shared a room with on the trip to Kenya, almost a year ago. I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention what Dan was specifically referring to here. The day ended with a BBQ and a line-up of a bouncy castle, gladiator bounce thing, bujiie cord bounce thing and bouncy slide, it was a wonderful day.

Of course I attended the prom, dressed up all dapper. It was held at this beautiful hotel, but I still wonder who goes on holiday to Yateley? By the end it was quite sad, many people I may never see again shared a tight and strong hug with me, something for me to remember them by I guess.

This Thursday just gone, I came up to Nottingham to accompany my all-time best friend Alex Bingley to a production of Avenue Q. I had previously heard a few songs from the play, but never brought myself to listen to the others in case I was ever to see it. I heard early this year they were on their farewell tour and then at Easter Alex expressed a wish that he could have seen it. I had a brain wave, and brought him a ticket for his 18th birthday, to which he was very pleased.

This week I have been staying at my Grandma and Granddad’s house for the first time. They cleared out my Dad's old bedroom for me and I was surprised to see how small it actually is. Growing up, I always thought there was a massive double bed in their but oh well, I'm comfortable.

So Black and White 2 are out in Japan, I've surprised myself and managed to not watch an entire play through of it... yet. Having not played a main series Pokémon game since Emerald, I am trying to recapture youthful excitement. I remember when me and my brother received Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire respectively. (Actually the three of us received them to share, but our parents didn't understand at the time that it is quite hard to Share a Pokémon game.) Well that was a great day; we knew nothing about those games, having only seen pictures of Groudon and Kyogre. When I got my first game, Pokémon Yellow, I had already seen my cousins play through Red and Blue and before I got Gold, I had seen all the generation 2 Pokémon. However this day was brilliant, we had never seen the starters before or any of the Hoenn Pokémon, first encountering Wurmple, Zigzagoon, etc. was so exciting for us. Haven't experienced that in a Pokémon game since discovering Serebii, YouTube and ultimately Bulbapedia. Back to Black 2 and though I haven't spoiled the appearance or plot of the game, I know roughly at what point Pokémon are available and have planned myself a nice team.

Emboar, Flame Charge, Brick Break, Stone Edge, Earthquake.

I used the other two in Black and White. I loved Serperior while not really digging Samurott. I usually live for speedy Pokémon so I'm using Flame Charge so Emboar can keep up.

Lucario, Aura Sphere, Flash Cannon, Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse.

Wow. This is available before the first gym, I had originally planned to use Stoutland but forget that. Lucario has high speed which I love and his high offensive stat, which I always like with my speed. Though its physical power is great, its special is a little bit better so I'm using it as a special beast.

Whimsicott, Giga Drain, Shadow Ball, Psychic, Leech Seed.

I loved Lilligant in my Pokémon white and I think the even faster puff ball will become a favourite of mine.

Swanna, Surf, Ice Bam, Fly, Toxic.

Water/Flying is a type combination that I like. However, Pelipper sucks and Gyarados and Mantine can't learn Fly, now I finally get one and it’s a Swan, the great white bird of our monarchy.

Galvantula, Bug Buzz, Thunder, Energy Ball, Thunder Wave.

Electric types <3 Bug types <3 Oh my gosh, this is great. With the ability Compoudeyes, I can have the powerful Thunder with the accuracy of Thunderbolt, awesome!

Absol, Night Slash, Psycho Cut, Dig, Will-O-Wisp.

Let’s have Super Luck, Scope lens? Maybe I'll actually by some Dire Hits? I am hoping to sweep bosses with a Critical Hit machine :D

So there you go, I'll try and get back into blogging and you'll hopefully hear from me soon.

Alex Day can fall into a deep fat fryer!

L-05308 — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:21:24 GMT

Whilst browsing I came across a video where a young man sings about Pokémon, the song is called Pokémon, What happened to you?

While the original games were great, he belittles Pokémon’s progression in the song, he also has songs doing the same for both Mario and Sonic.

This has ignited a strong rage in me for all people who say things like "There are only 151 Pokémon, the others are lies!"- that really pississ me off! Smug twats like that who seem to think it's cool to say you don't like the new and only appreciate the old just obviously have a low brain capacity, not being able to comprehend new features or being able to recite all of the types because of the inclusion of Steel and Dark. People who haven't got Black and White because they think the Pokémon are too different are the people that will never progress in life and never adapt.

Really had to get that of my chest, and I couldn't find a way of saying to the nitwit himself!

P.S. So sorry about the swearing, I don't normally talk like that and I won't be in future posts.

I'm counting down my favourites. In 10th place...

Milotic

Milotic really lives up to its name as the most beautiful Pokémon. Despite being more of a defensive Pokémon, it also has high Special Attack, making it a highly useable Pokémon, not that I've ever had a chance to use one but I'd love to.

I've always enjoyed Milotic in the anime as well, the way it sparkles and shines constantly and how it gracefully flies through the air and floats. Battles featuring Milotic were always exciting and the best contest appeals were best with Milotic. It's understandable that so many of the greater coordinators and trainers had one. It's probably their Milotic that has made characters like Wallace, Robert and Lucy so memorable for me.

Milotic is also one of those almost dragon types which is nice, like Gyarados, but it’s not the same ferocious monster. It gets the honour of my 10th favourite Pokémon and 2nd favourite water type.

Just thourght I'd give you an update...

Hello and welcome to my 3rd blog post, haven't done one of these in a while have I, how exciting.

Well if you read my previous blog entries and/or are British, you'd probably guess that I have just been watching Miranda. We watched all 6 episodes of season two, yes 3 hours of Miranda, my step dad left to go to bed before the end of the last episode and me and my mum would have also retired straight afterwards but to our delight, a 7th episode began: The Christmas special! We surprised of course because Mum brought me the box set for Christmas, therefore it was available before it was aired over the holiday period. Regardless we decided to watch it another time, and both go to bed. While pouring my water I asked my mum if Harry (God Brother) could hear us on the other end of the baby monitor, she replied "yes, so don't..." just as he woke up. Then the clever little machine started playing music to him, which came out on the other end as well in the Kitchen. Mum told me to turn this one off, but I had no idea how to. She told me to pull the plug out but that only stopped the machine from charging. So we are laughing trying to turn it off and Harry is chatting to away to my step dad who is trying to sleep, I exclaim that Miranda brings out the worst in us which carries on the late night laughter for longer, such fun!

Right now, I'm up blogging whilst listening to Olly Murs and I can't sleep, I just wanna Oo Oo Oo Oo (Oh baby) Oo Oo Oo Oo I just want you to dance with me tonight ♪ Despite the fact that I am in fact very tired, having not had what I call an early night since the 15th December at the earliest.

I've been on Bulbapedia and noticed a sort of climax by two recently rivalling users, I have a rival on Bulbapedia, funny how you can make friends with and become enemies with people you've never met. Ours is more civilised, I know he has a disliking for me and he knows I have a disliking for him, but we are both very mature about it. I do have to admit I peak at his contributions to see if there are any talk page conversations I can enforce my input on. I know its naughty but my real life enemies can be very unconventional. Perhaps I'll tell about them in another blog post.

Well good night to you and thanks for reading! Xx

Great British Comedy

L-05308 — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 19:54:34 GMT

Does it make me look over excitable two posts to blog entries in the space of 4 hours?

In-between now and my last entry I have watched 3 more episodes of Miranda and am now watching Gavin & Stacey, British comedy series about a guy from Essex who falls in love with a girl from Whales, and I thought "I really want to post another blog entry" so I decided I would, and I'd talk about British comedy which your probably not familiar with unless your British.

Well I've mentioned Miranda

I began watching Miranda when it was put in the BBC one running order between two other British comedies that I watch. Miranda is about a somewhat large, single, clumsy woman who brought a joke shop with her inheritance of which she put her best friend in charge of. She has an incredibly over bearing mother and has a crush on the Chief of the restaurant next door. What’s good about Miranda is she highlights a lot of the things that are comical about the simpler things of life and explores public opinion, what other people think of you.

Gavin and Stacey

This show is funny because all of the characters will talk about absolutely anything as if it was really important, for example a discussion about oven gloves they had on Christmas Eve, whereby Gavin's Uncle Pete asks his Dad where he got his oven gloves from because he needed some new ones. I couldn't really describe it well enough to make it sound funny but I promise it’s a good show.

The Inbetweeners

This is about 4 social Outcasts who are desperately trying to find their way in society. After 3 series and a movie they all end up with a girlfriend, which is nice. The show really challenges what is acceptable to watch but not deliberately as it is based on the events of the two writer's early lives whereby they themselves had many misshapes.

Friday Night Dinner

The show is about a family that comes together every Friday night for dinner as part of a Jewish tradition. Over the night the two brothers will immaturely whined each other up, whilst their mother stresses to cope with their idle father.

Not Going Out

I'm not sure why this is the title because never do they have an episode where all the characters stay in. But regardless it’s a barrel of laughs.

Sorry I've not really had much to say, but if I've sparked any interest you should really look these comedy’s up. I'm not sure if any of these shows get shown outside of the UK but I defiantly think they should.

I'm starting a blog today, how exciting!

L-05308 — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:47:14 GMT

I've wanted to do this for a very long while now, but oddly now that I have started I can't seem to think of anything to say but now that I have started I guess I'll always be able to say things here when I need to.

Well, I suppose I had a good new year, I live in the UK so there was an even bigger fireworks display at London to celebrate the beginning of the 'Olympic Year', of course I was sat at home watching it on the television.

We had a wonderful night, spend a lot of it playing Just Dance 3, a game we got for Christmas, with my Mum, Sister and an awkward 12 year old who was invited by my sister, my sister Stacey is 15. But Courtney did not turn out to be such a burden from the rest of ours celebration. After finishing on the Wii, the four of us sat down to watch Miranda, British comedy series starring Miranda Hart of which I got a box set for Christmas, until Stacey and Courtney. Moments before midnight my step Dad, Stacey and her friend came down stairs to watch. So I saw in the New Year with a bowl of Ben & Jerry's ice cream in my hand :D

I found this morning that my new years was probably better than my brother's, who had opted to spend new years with his girlfriend’s family (as well as Christmas) and found it to be quite Mediocre, maybe next year he'll actually celebrate something with us!

So here’s to many more blog posts in the future!
