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

Well hiya, its been an awful long time. We are still alive despite the fact that none of us have updated in ages. 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.

Okay now in excalty 29 words I'm going to tell you what I have been up to since the last update any of us did. Yeah that was a while ago.

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

It has begun...

Well hi,
It's been awhile but that doesn't matter because yesterday we finally started our Nuzlocke Challenge! Yay, so yea really this is a really short post because I have stuff to do but we've started it and hopefully we might even get back into the regular posting. Oh yea my starter is Turtwig, his name is Clyde and he is awesome.

Farewell,

Ayame

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

Wow we suck at posting.

Hi all!

In order to make up for the lack of posting, I've decided to undertake the 30 day blog challenge, hopefully I can follow it through, I'll definately try though. So, without further ado,

DAY 01: WEIRD THINGS YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE ALONE

I'm actually quite boring when I'm alone, the weirdest thing I do being dancing like a retard. I'm also partial to bing eating and sleeping, not that interesting.

So there you have it, the average secret life of Shigure.

Also, just putting it out there that AYAME AND HATORI SHOULD STILL BE POSTING WHILE I'M DOING THIS! That is all.

Ciao,
Shigure

Pokemon comics

Hi all!

I'm zoning out a bit right now, because I'm reading pokemon comics. So for my post this week I'm gonna link you all up to my favourite three.

3. HATE THE FLAWS OF POKEMON GAMES?

Then you'll love pokemon: pebble version. This web comic devotes itself to pointing out every possible flaw in the pokemon games from the lack of food and houses to dragging around a bag with a bike, fishing rod and a stack of items in it with no problem. If you've ever wondered "how the hell does that make sense?" when playing pokemon, this comic has the answer (but you probably won't like it).

2. POKEMON IRL

Rare candy treatment. This comic is dedicated to answering the question "how would that work in real life?" It answers questions like:

"How does diglett use aerial ace?"

"What are the health risks of becoming a trainer?"

and the generation old question "What would kyogre be like as a roommate?"

1. THE GREATEST ACHEIVEMENT IN THE POKEMON WORLD EVER

We've been talking about doing a nuzlocke challenge for a long time, and how can you know anything about them without studying up first? A petty nuzlocke challenge is arguably the greatest nuzlocke comic ever, other than the original. The first few comics are hilarious, and after a while, you love locke's pokemon so much they don't have to be funny, you're reading to make sure you're favourite doesn't die. With a killer art style, and some awesome flash, as well as some pretty well concieved game-to-drama action, there's a reason this was voted the best comic of 2010.

Have fun procrastinating.

Ciao,

Shigure.

CONSPIRACIES!!!!

Hi all!

Yes, I'm actually posting. And technically speaking, I shouldn't be, I have an assignment due tomorrow that is not quite finished... but I am, so lets get on with it.

I've been seeing these pop up one after the other lately, so I'm going to share with you my top 5 favourite POKEMON CONSPIRACY THEORIES!!! YAYYY!!!!

  5. ROTOM'S BEEN AROUND LONGER THAN WE THINK

And there are more of them than we ever thought. It's hard to talk about this one, so I will make my point with just this

  4. GENGAR IS CLEFAIRY'S SHADOW

Yeah, it's hard to argue with this one. Gengar is a ghost type pokemon and known as the shadow pokemon. Creepy enough. But the physical resemblance between these two pokemon is amazing. The pointy ears, the weird wing-things on their back and their simplistic limbs, it's incredible. Take a look at this

Mind = blown

  3. KANGASKHAN IS CUBONE'S DEAD MOTHER

If you stop and think about it, it kinda makes sense. Cubone wears the skull of his dead mother, and Kangaskhan is born with a freaking baby. These don't make sense unless you pair the two up. If cubone eventually evolved into Kangaskhan then it's easily explained. Kangaskhan raises it's baby in it's pouch, and when it comes to die, releases the baby to be it's own pokemon, this baby is distraught to lose a mother it's been so close to, so it (somehow) takes it's skull as defence and one of it's bones as a weapon. But where's the middle ground? Right under your goddamn noses. We all know M' otherwise known as Missingno's sister. If you do the famous old man hack, you can catch it, and here's the fun part, if you level it, it evolves into OMFG KANGASKHAN! It's theorised that nintendo decided it was way too dark to put this story in a kid's game, so at the last minute they made a new evolution for cubone and made kangaskhan a standalone pokemon, putting the old pokemon in an unused slot, no. 0. Personally, I would rather hear this dark story than live with the confusion that cubone and kangaskhan brought me for eons.

Oh, by the way

...shit

  2. THERE WAS A GODDAMN GENERATION KILLING WAR

Again in the red/blue games, many players have noticed the lack of middle aged men, the player himself doesn't have a father and your rival is an orphan. when you set off for your adventures you're warned about the dangers of the world repeatedly, yet your mum says "all boys need to leave home eventually" ...alright. As you roam around all you find is old men and little kids frolicking in the monster-ridden wilderness. And here's the cherry; when you challenge Lt. Surge, he mentions how these electric pokemon "saved my life in the war." ...WHAT? WHAT WAR? So apparently there was a massive war, so massive that it killed an entire generation but a few, i.e. the players mum and that the players generation is the first to grow up in peace since the war ended. This explains a whole lot, doesn't it?

  1. YOU KILLED GARY'S RATICATE!

Okay, so in the red/blue games your rival blue/gary uses a raticate a lot and then suddenly it's gone. So what, right? It's a useless pokemon, who wouldn't box it? Here's the catch, the first time you see him without it, he's in the tower in freaking lavender town! You know, that place where people go to mourn dead pokemon? Not only that, but he comments on how "your pokemon don't look dead". To further screw with your heads, we go back in time, to the last time we saw this raticate alive. On the goddamn S.S. Anne. So, the theory goes that when you smashed Gary's annoying butt on the boat, you beat his Raticate to near death. With no pokemon centres on the boat he had to pray that he could reach land before he lost his friend, unfortunately he was unable to get there fast enough, and decided to bury and mourn his friend at lavender town, where who should he find but his friends killer?! This explains why he goes all pricky after that.

And if you're not completely screwed in the head yet, here's some not-so-light reading for you

That's all from me for now

Ciao,

Shigure

Good day fine people

Yes it is true,
I am posting for the first time in ages. This is mainly due to the fact I have bothered to get the email address and I no longer have homework (cough cough). Anyway I just thought I'll let you know we are awesome and awesome people are awesomely awesome and I've said awesomely awesome to awesomely much, but who cares, right. As you can see I'm rambling on. so you know. And I'm also trying to have good grammer for Shigure but I am failing.

Guess what is awesome its Shigure's birthday in 3 hours and 6 minutes. Ha, I can read a clock, so HAPPY BIRTHDAT SHIGURE YOU ARE TRUELY AWESOME AND BETTER HAVE A AWESOME DAY BECAUSE I GOT YOU THE BEST PRESENT :) Also it's my birthday next Sunday meaning I CAN LEGALLY DRIVE, very exciting. Just a cool fact here, did you know all three of us were born in Autumn. I think thats fairly cool. I love the word Autumn it's amazing it sounds and looks so cool.

And yes, Shigure, just for you I will spell check this. :) I have now finished my ramble, so bueno noches, Good night.

RAWR Ya Next Time,
HATORI :3

Surprise

Hi, so it’s been a while since any of us have posted. My computer is well, dead but I’m getting a laptop in two weeks so I should be back to regular posting.  I believe I finished Black/White 3^rdout of the 4 of us I’m not sure who finished first out of Shigure and AR. Also I got my AVCON ticket today J so that’s exciting.

Today I thought I would ramble a bit about various ‘wars’ going on in the virtual world or just my opinion of stuff compared to other stuff.

Ninjas v Pirates

The ninja/ pirate war has been going on since before the beginning of time. I don’t have a side because in reality I’m not a ninja or a pirate but if I could be I don’t know what one I’d be because they’re both awesome.

Mario v Sonic

Both very popular video game characters, as a kid I never had a 64 I grew up with a Sega but I prefer Mario over Sonic because Sonics’ changed the games just aren’t the same. Sonic Unleased was crap but I’ve heard good things about Sonic Colours. However, almost all Mario games I’ve played have been amazing. My favourites would have to be Mario Kart, Mario Party and Super Paper Mario.

Dragon Age v Fable

Both awesome games, but Dragon Age wins, because as awesome as Fable is Fable 2 and 3 were disappointed. Dragon Age 1 and 2 have both been amazing. For starters the story line is a lot better (I know it was made for an older audience) and the final bosses were actually challenging.  The Archedemon is a bitch to kill and I know Jack was but still you kill Lucian with one bullet and Walter was way too easy to kill. Plus the characters have a lot more detail (back story wise) I know this is probably because it was made for an older audience but hey Dragon Age wins.

Dubbed v Subbed

This all depends on what you watch the first time you see a series for example I cannot watch Pokemon, any of the Yu-Gi-Oh series or any of the Dragon Ball series in Japanese because I grew up watching them in English. Whereas Death Note and Vampire Knight I can’t watch in English because I watched them in Japanese.

So yea that’s my ramble for now, I’ll be back in two weeks unless I can get on a computer before then.

Farewell

Ayame

We're not dead

Hi all!

Yes it's been 2 weeks since anyone's posted, there are a variety of reasons why so let's just not go into that.

So, I don't have much to talk about... oh wait! YES I DO

BLACK AND WHITE

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's finally here! Okay, technically I had it this time last week, but hey, details don't matter.

It's a pretty awesome addition to the pokemon RPG collection, honestly, I don't think they've ever made an original style pokemon game that was bad!

The new pokemon look good, the battle screen is definately better, with the moving camera and pokemon.

And the cutscenes -- OH MY GOD THE CUTSCENES! The graphics are amazing

There's so much to talk about that I can't think of that I'm just gonna give you this link:

http://www.abc.net.au/abc3/goodgamesp/transcripts/s3160125.htm

That link is ABC3's Good game spawn point, I think their review was pretty good and covered just about everything it should, so check it out.

That's all from me this week

Ciao,

Shigure

Autumn :D

Good Morning all,

Today is the first day of the awesomest season of the year, because Autumn is awesome. It is not only the season we were all born it but also all the leaves go prettyful colours and when they fall off they're crunchy. Crunchy leaves are awesome.

Including today it is only 10 days away! That's so close, also I'm assuming we all going to have a little contest to see who can finsih the game first, by finish I beat defeat the Elite Four and if there is an after story finish that as well. When I got Soul Silver I beat Red in a week, I am very proud of that achievement. Shigure defeated all of the 16 gyms in 2 days and Hatori... is Hatori.

Keeping it short once again because I must be off to school soon.

Farewell

Ayame

Hippos :D

17 days until awesomeness! Speaking of Pokemon, as we all know many pokemon are based of animals so I thought I'd tell you all about the fascinating creature known to us a hippopotamus or a hippo. Why? You ask. Well why not? It is always good to expand ones knowledge of what seems to be completely useless information but you never know, at some point in your life this may proof useful.

Hippos are the third largest land animal, next to the elephant and white rhino. When a hippo yawns it is not a sign of bordem or sleepiness it is a threat gesture. There razor sharp canine looking teeth are capable are biting a small boat in half. they can weigh up to 3 and a half tonnes and can live for up to 50 years. There name means 'River Horse' and they are more than capable of outrunning a person.

There you have it folks pointless facts about the hippo that may proof useful. Also Number 449 and 500 are based of hippos but thats pretty obvious.

Farewell

Ayame

A Post

Yes i have actually remembered to do a post but it has taken me all day to decide on wat to write, but after i heard the bad news i decided what to write on. yes mi post is on a sad note and after not posting for ages its not the best but i do beleive this needs to be said.

Today on the news it was stated that an Aussie soldier was shot in Afghanistan. This is a great saddness to us all, but the thing that hits me the most about this soldier is i knew him, and when i heard i cried. He is one of my closest friend's sisters boyfriend. And to his family and her i give my highest regards. To Rhi how much pain she would be going through to lose him. They were talking about getting married, and now i really dont know what to say. Jamie's dream was to serve his country and thts excactly what he did and know i hope he rests in peace and i thank him for what he has done for us and the world.

To his family, Rhi and the Kangaroo Island Community i give my best wishes,
Jamie Rest In Peace...

Good evening

Hi ALL!

Once again I'm going to ramble about yr. 12, as I may do quite a bit for a long while as it seems to be the only thing interesting happening to me lately.

I'm actually finding it suprisingly easy, everyone says it's hard but I think it only is if you're doing subjects you don't like.

Also, we have the theme decided for our formal this year, it's gonna be something like 'starry night' because it's just that awesome, we don't have to dress in theme, that's just the theme for the decorations.

And I officially have a 'date' ... yeah... I'm bringing a friend because, well, what else would you do if you were single? But it's gonna be heaps fun! Me and my friends had an awesome time last year and I'm thinking it'll be no different this year!

Anyway, I don't have much else to talk about so I'm gonna wrap it up for this week

So yeah

Ciao,

Shigure

Hiya

Recently I have discovered anti-jokes, anti-jokes are jokes where logic and humour meet or they are jokes in which there is no punchline. For example:
A man walks into a bar. He's an alocoholic and it's destroying his family
What is red and smells like blue paint? Red paint.
Why is 6 scared of 7? It wasn't numbers don't have feelings.
A dyslexic man walks into a bra.
A duck walks into a bar and the bartender says, "What'll it be?"The duck dosen't say anything because it's a duck.
How do you kill a blonde? There are many ways, but they are all wrong because murder is illegal.
Your mother is so old that she might die soon.
 There is probably a better way of describing these but meh, I found them funny.

So yea. 23 days until awesomeness! I am very excited about the new games coming out because they're going to be epicly awesome. I can't wait.

That's all for this week, once again apoligizes for the short post.

Farewell

Ayame

holy crap on cracker :/

I can't believe I didn't post last week, although I had just gotten back from Yr. 12 retreat!

This year is gonna be so awesome! I've even found a way to incorporate pokemon into my schoolwork! I'm going to be creating advertisements for black and white (I'll post those when they're done) and everything will be done by me! It's gonna be freaking awesome!

Also it's only 2 months til my senior formal which will be interesting... also next week is valentines day... joy.

Also! Last Thursday was Chinese new year! So welcome all to the year of the metal rabbit!

YAY! It's Momiji's year! Rabbit's are generally creative, compassionate, friendly and outgoing. Where possible, they'll avoid conflict and approach situations camly with consideration for the other people involved. Metal rabbit's in particular are stronger, more resilient and really determined and intense!

So let's all have a good year of the rabbit and enjoy every moment as the friendly rabbit's would do!

 That's all from me this week, remember that I may not post every week due to school, sorry about that.

Ciao,

Shigure

Well it's been a while

I agree with the title, it's been over a week since anyone's posted so Hi. Me and Hatori have swapped days because she can't post on this day anymore, Shigure's in year 12 so she might not be able to post every week because of assignments and whatnot and AR never had a set day so yea.

So yep I really can't think of anything to say right now so I just thought I'd say hi. We are another day closer to the new pokemon games coming out yay! I'm pre-ordering White sometime this week, it's gonna be awesome.

Farewell

Good evening all,

Recently I was sorting out my room and found some pretty awesome stuff from when I was younger. The top 2 things that I found were my oringinal Beyblade! I was very happy the sad part the bitbeast sticker was faded a liitle bit but still I have my very own Dranzer. The other thing that I found that I thought was pretty awesome was my Yu-Gi-Oh rule book from the second starter deck that I got. When the Yu-Gi-Oh trading cards first came out I got the Yugi starter deck and my brother got Kiaba's, when the next few decks cam eout I got Joey's and my brother got Pegasus. Sadly we don't own these cards anymore as we gave them to our younger cousin.

I believe that's enough for my rant of the week.

Farewell

Woo...

Hi all!

It's AUSTRALIA DAY!

I do not believe this to be a particularly cheerful holiday, providing you know the full story.

When the white people came from England to dump all their crooks on our shores, they landed and decided since there were no fences, buildings or anything else to signal "civilisation" they were free to take this land that was supposedly not owned by anyone. Then they noticed the natives, although at first some didn't believe them to be people. Either way the settlers for some weird reason saw fit to, that's right, slaughter the hell out of them. And they kept trying to eliminate them for several years, using several different methods eg downright slaughter and breeding them out, either way, not something they talk about in Australia day speeches.

And we still haven't quite got the message of how to actually respect them, we have governments throwing money at them that many communities of aboriginals have said they do not want it. And we pushed them to let tourists walk on Uluru, only to have said tourists cover it in a fine layer of rubbish, but hey, as long as we refer to stuff in the aboriginal language, we're being respectful, right?

So although this is a day to celebrate, I think we should also remember all the aboriginals that died and still feel lost and trapped in this 'free' country.

Ciao,

Shigure

And now a friendly public service announcement.

Hello potential readers.

No doubt some of you are aware of a piece of gossip that has come to the attention of the social networked masses of the world. I speak of nothing other than the so called "change to the zodiac".

In simple terms, the zodiac most of us have been familiar with up until recently has been based on old calculations of positions, however due to shifts in the positions of the stars from the perspective of Earth, the zodiac no longer fits these positions. Further more, there is a thirteenth constellation belonging in the zodiac, forming the star sign 'Ophichius', the snake bearer. Relatively recently, the global intercommunication services collectively known as 'social networking' and based in sites such as Facebook and Twitter have experienced a wave of excitement over the uncovering of this information, leading people to believe their fates have changed, the zodiac has moved and twisted around them. Further rumours have sprouted that this only affects people born after 2009.

To cut it all short, this is a load of bull s***.

To clarify, I am not stating that the zodiac and its meaning are false. However, one must consider this: nothing has changed. That the modern zodiac is not technically aligned to the stars is not new information. Scientists, astronomers and astrologers alike have, generally speaking, been long aware of this.This is not new. At all. Further more, Ophichius is even less new. The Mayans, when divining the zodiac, back when it was aligned, outright chose not to use Ophichius because they wanted twelve and not thirteen.

So why the big fuss? Sociology. People are stupid. Not as individuals, but as a collective. This is only enhanced by the mass connectivity and limited physical response through the digital medium. So when a (probably small) group of people find out something that is new to them, it has a potential to spark a chain reaction, spreading like wildfire throughout the hordes milling around in social networking. It's Chinese Whispers, except everybody ends up screaming simultaneously.

So no, internet, you don't have to pawn your themed jewelery or surgically remove your tattoo. Nothing has changed. GET THE F*** OVER IT!

Yours rantingly,
~AR

The stuff nightmares are made of

Hi all

So I'm going to my friend's house tomorrow to catch up before we go back to school. This of course, in turn reminded me that there is only this week and next week before I'm back at school.

Although this majorly sucks, there are some good points that come with it, the first being that I go back to retreat, that's right, the first three days of my school year will be spent relaxing and getting to know the same people I've already been getting to know for 4 years. Oh, and did I mention this is my last year of school? I'm stoked for being over and done with everything, and there's so much to look forward to, there's my Yr. 12 formal, jumpers with our names on them... which nickname I'm getting on mine I am still debating, and I'm seriously considering getting Shigure. I'm also looking forward to my final swimming carnival and sports day, especially when one of my best friends is vice-captain of my team (and we all know it was totally rigged) and muck-up day which we've been planning for 4 years and of course GRADUATION! at an all girls school, this is of course the most important day of the year, although I'm not into the glamourus weirdo insanity things, I'm still a sucker for a good dress, so I'm looking forward to an excuse to get something awesome. Oh, and no way am I wearing heels. You need not be alarmed... if you were. Those things serve no functional purpose and I hate them. I'm gonna scourge the earth if I have to in order to find some formal flats. I'm so excited!!!! This year's gonna be FREAKING AMAZING!

That's all from me this week

Ciao,

Shigure

Hi Guys

Majorly excited, for 2 reasons. First Pokemon. Black and White come out soon and it shall be amzaing, I can't wait. Secondly the new Yi-Gi-Oh movie comes out this year. Yay! It's going to be awesome.

Anyways... Hello I'm back. I was gone but I'm not anymore. As Shigure mentioned we had a discussion about what type of Elite Four trainer we would be. I would be posion because getting posioned is very annoye, getting posioning with toxic twice is even worse. Obviously the opponent would just use antidotes to remove it but you'd get a free turn every time they do.

 AR recently let me borrow an amazing game. The World Ends With You. It's awesome, AR can expalin it better all I can say is it's awesome. Also I finished the main story line of Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs a few days ago and I haven't got 100% yet.


I don't have much else to say this week, Hatori's on a camp at the moment so she won't be posting this week.


Farewell

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! EXCITED!!!

HI ALL!

So yeah, I'm excited! Why am I excited? Because just yesterday Serebii released the official release dates for pokemon black and white in each region!

It comes out in Australia on the 10th of March this year! That's 4 days after America gets it and 6 days after Europe. Is anyone else majorly excited! GAHI'MSOEXCITEDICAN'TEVENBOTHERUSINGSPACEBAR!!!!!!!!!!!

I want it to be march!

Also, while on the topic of pokemon, today I was completed pokemon ranger guardian signs (present) 100%

It was more exciting than new years. seriously. I love lugia. Also this means I can answer ANY questions about the game. As I know everything. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to beat the game. Here are some random facts about the game that you may enjoy SEMI-SPOILER ALERT! (meaning yes, they are spoilers but no, they are not particularly handy):

• The only complete, evolved starter set that you can drag around behind you is the 3rd gen, all others contain bosses
• That area on the way to silver falls, just underneath Blastoise that seems suspiciously empty? Not good for anything
• Tyranitar is the only pokemon depicted on a cave door that you cannot find without completing missions.

Ooh! Ooh! AAAAAAAAND! It recently came up in a discussion between me and Ayame what type of elite 4 trainer we would be. I love conversations like these. I decided I'd be a fighting type elite 4 as they can easily learn moves that are super effective against types they would otherwise be weak against, also, their main two weaknesses, flying and psychic, aren't types renowned for the def or Sp. def. Since fighting types ARE renowned for their atk and Sp. atk, that is a slight stats advantage. I think about this too much!

GGGGGAAAAAAAHHHH EXCITMENT!!!!!

Okay. Calm now. While I'm here I decided I want to have a 'thing' something I do in my post every week as well as the random stuff I find to go on about each week, and I decided, I'll do some definitions. Why? Because I'm good at it and they're interesting to learn if you didn't already know them. Big words are fun!

So, I'll start with the word Abstinence.

Abstinence is a noun, it means forbearance from any indulgence in appetite. Which in turn basically means not eating or drinking.

 So if someone is 'sobering up' you could say they are in abstinence

That's all for this week

Ciao,

Shigure

Epicness!

Hi all!

So today as you read in the suprise post, we had a catchup with the whole 3+1 of us. This is what went down:

• We saw Megamind, it's pedictable, but that's how I like my cartoon movies! It is also adorable.
• We played 2 pokemon tournaments. In the first I lost to AR which was dissapointing, and in the second I was pitched against Ayame's older brother, who was the best trainer among us. I took out three of his pokemon, I am proud of myself.
• We palyed a pokemon board game, as we know AR won, but this is ok as the board game itself was epicly awesome and I had heaps of fun with it!
• Hatori requested help beating the champion in soulsilver, I attempted and failed, and Ayame looked at Hatori's team and refused to try. She lost on purpose and began 'training' *cough* rare candies *cough*
• Also, this happened earlier but was not technically a major event so it's down here. I gave Ayame her late christmas present which is three pokemon movies featuring Lucario, Manaphy and Darkrai. I have seen them all. Twice.
• I caught the bus home with AR as we live close to each other and on the way we discussed several things. and there are some things that I must announce specifically to AR:

• Drapion is poison and dark, skorupi is poison and bug

• The 3rd gen elite 4 are as follows: fighting, ghost, ice, dragon.

• I'm still getting around to the WiFi thing.

• The elite 4 member that has a drapion is actually Aaron, the bug type trainer. Drapion is still out of place.

 That is all I have to say for today, until next time.

Ciao,

Shigure

SURPRISE!

That's right it's a surprise post. The four of us caught up today and because Hatori is still here with me we decided to do a surprise post even though it's Shigure's day to post.

WE also decided due to  me missing my post that we should definatly do a post and Ayame missed her post on the weekend :)

  

So we are currently trading pokemon so that Hatori can level her's up with rare candy's so she can beat the Elite Four, also we are reading one of my favourite childhood stories 'Hairy Maclary'. For those who have not heard of it, it is a children's book about a dog called Hairy Maclary who lives on Donaldson's Dairy. It is epic. 

It is an amzing book do u know wat else is amazing the pokemon master trainer board game based around first gen pokemon it was amazing except AR won  it was depressing but oh well did u know Ayame has amazing dragons on her desk i like dragons and she brought me and Shigure a little dragon it is awesome.

Were only keeping this one short since it's Shirgure's day today. So yea.

RAWR ya next time

Farewell

This is a cookie

Yes indeed it is a cookie. It is the flavour of chocolate chip and from the looks of the cookie I'd say it would be a fairly delicious cookie because that is how it looks to me. Now that we have established that this is a cookie and I now have a urge to go and bake and eat cookies we shall get started.

Are you a ninja or a pirate? I don't know what I am because well they are both awesome. Also dragons are awesome, dragons are my favourie mythical creatures followed by phoenixs. Speaking of birds I don't like magpies, they swoop, a lot. Magpies are scary. Who's excited about Pokemon Black and White? I am. Also I am fairly excited about Sunday because I can sleep. Well technically I can sleep now because there is nothing stopping me, I just choose not to. If Im still awake me and my sister are going to watch the sun rise which shall be cool. It was hot today, well during the day it cooled down for the evening which was nice. I've rambled a little bit and I think I shall leave it at that. 2 more things I won't be doing my post next weekend because I shall be at Kangaoo Island, which as you've guessed is an island but it isn't shaped like a kangaroo so I"m sure one of the other guys will do a post for the weekend if not oh well. Also Happy New Year from all of us.

Farewell

Ayame
