We call ourselves the mabudachi trio based on a manga called fruit basket. The three of us shall go by; Ayame (the snake), Hatori (the dragon) and and Shigure (the dog) We would love you to read our blogs to educate yourself on nerd news and to be entertained in a way that no one but nerds can offer.

MORE POSTS!

We sure know how to suck up :D


So this is the 3rd time I've attempted to start this post. It took me forever to decide what to post in this blog but I've decided since I spent a lot of time this week at the Royal Adelaide Show, I'm going to give a list of my favourite things from this week in no particular order.


1. Acquiring 7 plushies. I got the hippogriff, beaky, the phoenix, filomina, the lion, leroy, the sailor bear, rodger, an alienoid, belinda and birthday bear the care bear :D


2. My friend scared a scare crow. It was pretty good, the scare crow was giving a kid a hug and my friend stood behind him waiting for a hug. When he turned around he freaked, it was amazing to watch.


3. THE EXTREME! My new favourite ride, it goes in circles and at the same time 3 seats on the end of each arm spin as well, but perpendicular to the rest of the ride, in other words, you're spinning in 3D!


4. Looking at the cakes. I always love seeing the cakes in the competitions each year. This year there was one that was little miss and mr men themed, and another that had a rabbit sitting on a book, with writing on the other page written in icing, it's freaking amazing.


5. BUBBLES! They were selling so many bubble guns it was amazing, there were bubbles no matter where you went.


6. Cheese toasties! The staple diet for the week, seeing as they were only $2 and absolutely delicious!


7. The market bazaar. I love that place, looking around at everything random, highlights this year included the shocking pen that hurt me so much it fell out of my grip the second it began to shock me, the cool new thai pants I got for $10 and henna tattoos.


8. Sand sculptures. A professional sand sculptor comes in every year, last year he made a dragon but this year he made and ocean theme, there was a dolphin, a mermaid and PATRICK AND SPONGEBOB! However, for some reason spongebob came down, which was fine because he was replaced with (a very out of place sculpture of) Peter Griffin's head!


9. Motorbikes! They. Are. So. Cool. These guys can pull off some amazing stuff, admittedly not the best, but hey, still far beyond what most people could hope to do. I was legitimately scared for their lives at some stages, even if they've learnt the tricks and rehearsed and such.


10. Watching the fireworks from the members area. Some of them were literally right over my head, it was sooooo cool, and the best part is that they do it to music. Of course one of the songs was fireworks by Katy Perry, and I must say, I've never seen fireworks timed so well with music before in my life.


And there was heaps of other stuff that made my week at the show awesome, but I'll leave it at that for now :)

What's this? Another Update!

Greetings once again. I figured in order to make up for the recent lack of posts I would do another one. So what I'm going to do for the next few posts is pick a random word and find out interesting or pointless facts about it. So today's word is: Duck.

A male duck is called a Drake

Ducks' feet have no nerves or blood vessels

A group of ducks is called a raft, team or paddling

A duck's nest is made from is own feathers

Very few quacks actually go 'quack' (they grunts, squeck and chrip instead)

The most famous fictional characters that are ducks are: Donald Duck (Disney) and Daffy Duck (Looney Tunes)

Ducks have three eyelids

Contrary to some beliefs, when ducks quack they do have an echo, often too quiet to be heard

Ducks sleep with half their brains awake.

Ducks have an extremely special ability to detect predators in less than a second.

Ducklings are born with their eyes open and a warm coat and don't rely entirely on their parents for food, in fact ducklings are ready to leave the nest within hours of hatching

My first word was quack (see pointless facts)

Anyways that's all for now.

Farewell,

Ayame

P.S Can anyone actually tell who it is out of the three of us that is wrting the post until we say at the end because I can't

HIIIIIIIII

Hey all!


So yeah, like Ayame said, we haven't posted in forever, and like her, I'm going to do a summary of what I've done since I last update (but I won't count words)
Camp, Harry potter 7.2, school :p, brother flew half way around the world, retreat, finished diamond nuzlocke, started soulsilver nuzlocke, finished ss nuzlocke, started white nuzlocke, polaroid camera, royal adelaide show :D


To elaborate on those, purely to make this post longer:

  • I went on July camp, because I'm cool and therefore am a scout. We stayed at a place called woodhouse for 4 days and it was heaps fun and I'm gonna be on TV :D
  • Saw the final instalment of HP, twice. Didn't cry the first time because I wanted to see everything, but balled my eyes out the second time.
  • School... yr. 12 is finally kicking in. It's really stressful and I think I may cave in soon
  • My brother left for Sweden for a year of study exchange. It's cool that he's there but it sucks coz he's not here...
  • Went on the venturer [scout] retreat (Ayame and Hatori also attended) which was pretty cool, had heaps of fun, met new people, learnt new words (WHISTEPOOP!)
  • Did lots of nuzlocking, finished diamond with: Squidgy (empoleon), Sammy (weavile), Sean (hippowdon), Christy (rapidash), Lisa (Crobat) and Xavier (Lucario). Then started AND finished my ss nuzlocke with: Athena (Feraligatr), Seamus (Togekiss), Hugo (Machamp), Risa (Golem), Tuna (Magnezone) and Daisy (Arbok). Almost done on white, too.
  • My brother's girlfriend got a polaroid camera and I have fairly unrestricted access to it, although I don't like to use it if she doesn't know I am
  • THE SHOW!!!! IT'S ON THIS WEEK AND I LOVE IT!!! SUGAR AND RIDES AND BUBBLES AND FIREWORKS AND THE MARKET AND SHOWBAGS AND ANIMALS!
anyway, now that that's over I'm going to do the questions Ayame posted

My most humble apoligises, I'm not going to make excuses I just never got around to updating. To be honest the only reason I thought I should update is becasuse I'm procastinating and couldn't think of anything else to do but hopefully we might get back in to updating more often. Much has been happening since last we said anything. First of all I have some reommmendations, (even though no one reads this, there is still the slight chance that one day some people might) for all you pokemon fans search these names on deviantArt and be amazed. Landwalker, pettyartist and ky-nim. I also recommend that you read the popular magna series 'Pokemon Adventures' it's awesome and listen to the band 'I Fight Dragons'. Finally if you ever have the chance to play the boardgame Balderdash, play it! It's awesome.

Yeah just for the record, the HP books are a lot better than the movies but the movies were still good. AVCON was amazing, yay for Pokemon Tounaments. And now in order to increase the length of this post I found some random questions and when the other guys see that I updated I think you guys should do them too. Just saying. Anyways.

Hey!!!!

Hey awesome people,
So, at the moment we are completely obsessed with pokemon because of the challenge and other reasons so i figured i would post a few awesome pokemon facts. :D

1 - Some of Slowbro's Pokedex entries state that if the Shellder is removed, it reverts to Slowpoke. In other words, it de-evolves.

2 - Arcanine's species name is the "Legendary Pokemon" despite the fact that it's not actually a legendary in any way.

3 - Wobbuffet is the only fully evolved Pokemon that can't learn any TMs

4 - A large chunk of the 3D Pokemon models in Battle Revolution were actually reused from previous games on both the N64 and Gamecube.

5 - FR/LG has an anti-cheat feature where hacking in Mew would cause it to not listen. This is not in any of the DS games, however. To elaborate, Mew ignores every order you give it, regardless of what badges you earned. Also, the same thing happens with a hacked Deoxys.

6 - Illumise is the only Pokemon in Generation 3 whose name starts with the letter I

7 - Some beta versions of Red and Blue list Machamp's original name as "Ju-Doh"

8 - Magneton is made by three Magnemite, yet weighs 10 times more. Magnemite weighs 13.2 pounds, but Magneton weighs 132 pounds.

9 - Rock Throw is the only physical Rock attack with no secondary effect

10 - Tracey replaced Brock during the Orange Islands because the artists thought Brock was racist. Brock came back when no one cared. This is an interview with the former anime director and storyboard artist Masamitsu Hidaka for proof: http://bit.ly/9rTW8l

11 - The Nidorino that appears in Professor Oak's introduction in Red and Blue has the cry of a Nidorina

12 - Every Eevee evolution has been owned by a main or recurring character in the anime. Except for Jolteon

13 - Pachirisu is the only Pokemon without any evolutionary stages allowed in Amity Square.

14 - The number of stripes on Electabuzz's tail changes on the official and sprite artwork between generations.

15 - Of all the Pokemon that can evolve, Sneasel has the highest base speed stat.

16 -In some early art for Venomoth, it was shown having yellow spots on the back of its wings. This was later removed.

17 - Raikou is the only legendary Pokemon Ash hasn't encountered in the anime or in one of the movies.

18 - One of Parasect's Pokedex entries says its spores are used as medicine in China, which is a rare reference to the real world.

19 - Hippopotas and Hippowdon are currently the only Pokemon whose male and female sprites use completely different colors.

20 - Gold and Silver only have 30 unique sound clips used for Pokemon cries in addition to the previous 37 from Red and Blue

21 -Red and Blue only use 37 completely unique sound clips for cries. The sounds are played back in different ways for each Pokemon.

22 - Kabuto's name in some game prototypes is "Att". This might be short for Atlantis.

23 - In the anime, the inside of Charizard's wings are colored green, but in the games, they are colored with more of a blue tint.

24 - Espeon and Umbreon are the only Pokemon that can be obtained by more than one evolution method.

25 - Wartortle's official coloring is inconsistent; its ear color often alternates between white or blue in various official art.

26 - When Rotom is encountered, the music is the same as legendary encounters. It's currently the only non-legendary to do this.

27 - Deoxys was the first Pokemon to have its own unique battle music in-game

28 - In Red and Blue, you were able to use a fishing rod on the Rhydon statues. However, nothing was found unless you used an Old Rod.

29 - Zapdos is the only legendary bird to never be seen on its feet in a sprite: all of its sprite artwork depicts it airborne.

30 - Ninetales's name was originally spelled as "Nine Tales" (two words instead of one) in some early copies of Red and Blue.

31 - Heatran is the first (and currently only) legendary Pokemon that can either be male or female.

32 - Jirachi and Manaphy are the only two Pokemon who can't be found at an in-game location in any of the main games.

33 -In the Galactic Hideout in Eterna City, Jupiter has a Skuntank at level 20. Stunky can't evolve into Skuntank until level 34.

Anyway i thought they were fair cool well night for now ill try to have more constant posting.

RAWR YA NEXT TIME!!!!!,
HATORI!!!! :3

Day 02: How have you changed in the past 2 years?

Not much really, man my answers are gonna be so boring to some of these questions. I've basically become a little more open and am way more comfortable being myself, though I was still known for that 2 years ago.


That is all, 'til the next boring answer,


Ciao,
Shigure
