I'd Travel Half the World to Say 'You Are My Muse'

I got this awesome hat today. Most people would say it isn't awesome because it makes my head look big, but I think it is an awesome hat.

I started playing OoT Masterquest for the first time since my sister broke the disc (I have to use an emulator, unfortunately) and I must say, it'd be easier if I hadn't played the original game. I was thrown off course when I had to go to the top floor first, because that goes against the entirety of the dungeon in the original game. It's fun to try and figure out what to do though.
I'm up to the Forest Temple now. I can only play when I'm not doing school work. Which sucks. By the time I play again I don't remember what I was doing before I saved and I get confused. =_=

Yesterday I went iceskating. I now know that it is nothing like roller skating. The ice is slippery and you slide everywhere. I didn't fall over once, but I did a lot of arm flailing.

I'm listening to Muse at the moment. I don't care for their most recent album, but it's still nice to listen to them again anyway.

Roleplay Fun

There's a group of people that do Pokemon Roleplays on Facebook. The characters from the PokeSpec and Game universes seem to coexist in the same universe, somehow, but apart from that continuation error it's not bad. Of course, they all go very OoC at times but I digress.
Anywho, Silver was upset about not being loved by Kotone, I believe. (I stop reading from time to time. It gets confusing.) This is what was said by Silver and Bugsy (? Possibly a roleplay for the gym leader, although I'm not certain.)

Bugsy Trap: If you truly love her, you won't give up that easily.
Silver (Pokemon Special): No, but she liikes brighter colors than silver apparently...
Bugsy Trap: Even silver can shine.
Silver (Pokemon Special): And tarnish...
Bugsy Trap: Even bright colors become sepia under the sun.
It's up to you whether you shine or not.

Just thought that it sounded way cool and I should post it.
Alright, I'll go back to lurking on random forums. Ciao~

New Black 'N White Pokemon

I've been looking over the newest Pokemon that have been revealed for Black and White. This is what I've noted so far.

- Kibago does not look like a dragon type. Error? Or just awesomeness?
- If Mamanbou isn't an evolution of Luvdisc, I will eat my hat.
- Shikijika changes forms depending on the seasons. Does this mean that the Pokemon games will now have seasons?
- This Gen has some epic Psychic types.
- Emonga is the cutest thing I have seen and is Electric/Flying. I am catching one, dang it.

I now use my laptop with the CD drive open because it's annoying me. If the computer starts loading something and struggles/lags a bit, it just starts making noises as if it were trying to read the disc that's in it. o_O

I'm still fangasming over the Ocarina of Time remake. I want it now.
And that is my report for the last few weeks. I haven't done much. Ciao.

I Am Listening to Techno, Bitchez.

Sorta. Not the disco-y rave techno. No thanks.
So today sucked, but my mother re-introduced me to retail-therapy and I am in a very good mood right now. I got a dress (for the first time in years. My shoulders are too broad for sleeveless tops so I must wear a jacket at all times with the dress. Oh well, I'll deal) which was unusual for me. It's one that Alice wore in the new Alice in Wonderland movie so you can understand why I was absolutely infatuated with it.
We also found a hoodie with the LoZ Triforce symbol on it. I don't see LoZ merchandise anywhere, so I get whatever I can get my hands on. That jumper totally made my day.
Anyway, I got the ROM of Ocarina of Time: Master Quest yesterday. I did have the disc, until my sister bit it. I figure I won't be doing any harm by downloading the ROM, seeing as I do technically own the game (even if it's currently unplayable). As a result, I never actually finished OoT: MQ, so I plan on doing that soon. Once I get a break from assignments, anyway. It might be awhile.

I am going to be rearranging my room soon. I want to have more room. Hopefully enough room for a television. The biggest problem is that I should be getting rid of my huge wardrobe, considering I have that as well as a built-in one. But that means moving all the stuffed toys out and either stuffing them in the shed, dumping them or selling them.
...I don't want to do that. I love my toys. D=

I've been listening to Tegan and Sara recently (obv. not the techno I was talking about before.) and their album The Con is very, very good. I've been addicted to it. It was on repeat for a very long time.

Replace a Few Words and This Post Could Seem Very Inappropriate.

I hate going to the dentist. And not for the usual "Ahhh he's going to hurt me" reason. I hate it because I think I'm embarrassing myself.
I wonder what I'll do if I need to sneeze. I can't sneeze on the poor guy, so... what do I do? Luckily that hasn't happened yet... also, what happens when you can feel the spit in the back of your throat? You swallow, yeah, but he has these implements in my mouth and I'm probably making this so much harder for him and what if I swallow something metal?
Also, my tongue seems to follow the dentists hand. Bah. Seriously... poor guy...
When I need my mouth numbed (as I did today. Can't feel a thing in my jaw. =D) it doesn't take long before I can no longer feel where my teeth are, or where his hand is. I bit the dentist today. FUUUUUUU-
At one point he said "Grind your teeth together so I can see if the filling is even." I attempted to. He said "No... the back ones..." and I tried again. In the end, he had to move my jaw into place for me. =/
I would prefer it if he didn't speak to me. My replies are like "Uhmmmph."
Also, I can no longer speak and I cannot have proper dinner tonight. (Nothing too hot as I can burn my mouth, and solids are bad as I can bite through my lip or tongue and not notice.) Yayy, lukewarm chicken soup.

...Bah.

The Band I Will Always Return To

So the other day I met up with my closest, longest friend. Due to a lack of internet at the time, we ended up listening to music and talking. After showing her the awesomeness that is Death Cab for Cutie, we ended up on the subject of our favourite bands, namely the ones that we really, really hold dear to us. At one point she turned to me and said "The one band I'll always return to is Paramore. Nothing could change that."
Without missing a beat, I easily replied with "Yeah. That's how I feel about Radiohead."
And it's true. Radiohead was the first band I listened to that wasn't force-fed to me via the radio. Granted, I listened to the songs my parents played to me, but I didn't notice them all that much. Everyone liked what was on the radio, right? So it must be good.

Later on Habbo Hotel (embarrassingly enough), someone redirected me to Radiohead. I listened to Coldplay, so they suggested I listen to Radiohead's first albums, specifically The Bends and OK Computer.
Naturally, I didn't listen to them and instead downloaded the bands entire collection. I am so glad I did. These days I own all the albums, B-sides and currently have live versions of unreleased tracks. Because you can't have enough Radiohead. Thom Yorkes vocals amaze me. For some people, his vocals are probably a bit narm-ish. (Couldn't think of a better word, check the link if you need.) To me, however, I find them spectacular. He has an astonishing range and he sings with such emotion, which is something that seems to be lacking in 'mainstream' music. The first song to truly give me goosebumbs would be Street Spirit, obviously by Radiohead. And they continue to amaze me.

When I do have a strange lapse in musical judgment or just lose my way a little, I end up pointing myself back to Radiohead. It only takes one album to remind me how good it feels to listen to something that doesn't follow the standard 'verse, chorus, verse, chorus' format with the occasional bridge.

I don't know what brought on this sudden burst of enthusiasm for the band. I was just sitting here when the weight of my 'Radiohead is the band I'll always return to' realization sunk in.

I'm thinking about getting more of my friends into these guys. I'll probably start them with the Bends. They need to hear the awesomeness that is Thom's vocals and Jonny's epic guitar skills. Oh, and the Ondes Martenot. Can't forget that.

Just a few random things.
-Hail to the Thief is my favourite album.
-Idioteque is my favourite album track, whereas Talk Show Host is my favourite B-side.
-I consider Thom Yorke's solo effort, The Eraser, to pretty much be a Radiohead album. By the way, it is very awesome.
-My cousin and I get into Muse Vs Radiohead debates all the time. Despite this, I do like Muse, and my cousin does like Radiohead. We just don't agree on who's better.

I have never seen Radiohead live. I desperately want to, though.

I am an Overprotective Trainer

This may seem really sad, but when I'm training one of my newer Pokemon (especially with my event Pichu's) and they get knocked out by an NPC or a wild Pokemon, I get extremely annoyed. So annoyed, I'll bring out a level 80 Pokemon and absolutely massacre their level 20 ones as punishment. Nobody is hurting my babies.
