Pokemon Breeding Service

Currently, my breeding service is closed. I need time to work on my team for the wifipokeleague. I'm not a Gym Leader or an Elite Four member (maybe later if I'm lucky), but I AM the Apprentice to Varrick, the leader of the Poison gym. While I've never really used them much, Poison has always been one of my favorite types. Now, I'll really be able to explore them in-depth. When you're accepted as a Member or an Apprentice to a gym, you're given a Starter Pokemon, similar to what happens in all the games. The Poison gym offers either Koffing, Stunky, or Gastly. I haven't received it yet, but I've chosen the Gastly. Gengar's got a WONDERFUL movepool, is really fast, has super high Sp.Atk, and on top of that, has no Ground weakness because of Levitate. Alternatively, I would have chosen Koffing, because I simply don't like Stunky, and Koffing makes a wonderful Physical Wall-- not to mention it has Levitate as well. Ontop of those, I already have the basics of a team planned. I KNOW I'll be using my Gengar, and I'll probably have it backed by a Tentacruel, and a Drapion. You can only have three Pokemon which represent the type of gym you're at, and three more of any type, but they all need to have an attack or something representative of the gym's type, which makes it much more interesting.
I'll probably get started on my team today... I'm still trying to fill the other three slots, and Bronzong's lookin' mighty pretty right now... :P

Also, I'm goin' to Warped Tour on July 14, in Dallas! Woo, I get to see Bert (The Used) puke on stage! :P

-Added new Contact Information-- MSN Messenger. (It's old, bear with me)
-Updated Pokemon request list

Remember, I'll EV Train your Pokemon, I'll go through almost any breeding web to get your Pokemon the way you want it, and I do it all for cheap! settleforno6 felt he would have been cheating me had he not given me more! :P

I made it simpler.

1. Conditions
2. I'll EV Train for you
3. Pokemon Wanted
4. Items Wanted (Hold, TMs, Berries)
5. Current Projects
6. Contact Information (email, yahoo, friend code, etc)
7. Status (Open for Business, or Closed on Break)

1. Conditions:

-I might not have what you want me to breed, so if I don't, you'll have to trade me one first.
-If I need to use a TM I can't buy at the Dept. Store in Veilstone or the Game Corner, then you'll have to provide it.
-Obviously, you've gotta be providing a fair trade for the Pokemon. Probably the more breeding I'll do, the more you'll have to give in return. Normally, that'd just be attaching an item.
-I'm not gonna spend months looking for the right Hidden Power. So, don't ask for that.
-If you can't offer something below, then just offer me something else. We'll talk.
-Please don't ask for something I can't breed, like a Ditto, or a Bronzor. I will, however, gladly trade normally for such things.
-Please don't ask for more than one Pokemon at a time.
-Only 10 Projects at a time. Anyone else will be put on hold till I finish a project.

NOTE: Any bi-products of breeding will either be put up on the GTS, or available for trade via Wi-Fi.

2. I'll EV Train for you:

-For a little extra in return, I'll make sure your Pokemon gets Pokerus. I'll use 10 of each appropriate vitamin (or less depending on what EVs you'd like), and then, I may even throw in a Lucky Egg to double your Pokemon's EXP growth for a little more in return (if you're specific with the nature/gender/ability/moveset of the Pokemon I want)! Note, that a traded Pokemon with a Lucky Egg can get about 6000+ EXP just from Aaron's (Elite Four) Vespiquen alone, making EXP gaining after EV training a breeze! Definitely an offer to invest in!

3. Pokemon Wanted:

CONDITIONS OF SERVICE-- PLEASE READ

--If I do not have a Pokemon you want me to breed for you, then you MUST trade me one of those Pokemon. Gender doesn't matter, because I have a Ditto, so I can just breed until I get the right one.
--If a complication comes up in breeding that forces me to use a TM that CANNOT be bought via PokeDollars or the Veilstone Gamecorner coins, then YOU must provide the TM. I WILL NOT take the time to go through the Battle Tower over and over again for BP for TMs.
--What you provide for me in return of my services, of course, must be worth what it takes for me to actually breed your Pokemon for you. HOWEVER, if you traded a Pokemon to me in order for me to breed it, regardless of whether or not you cannot take the offspring, I PROMISE to return the original parent Pokemon.
--I WILL NOT BREED FOR SPECIFIC HIDDEN POWER TYPES AND/OR POWERS. It's one more complication that makes things all the more difficult. Other than that, though, I'll breed for hours just to get you what you want.
--YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PROVIDE ONE OF THE POKEMON I'M LOOKING FOR LISTED BELOW. For the most part, I'll take anything that's appealing to me at all. However, I'll be more inclined to speed things up and work my hardest to get you what you want if you promise to get me what I want. :P

I'LL EV TRAIN FOR YOU

--If you really want me to, and are already in good standings with me, I might even EV train your Pokemon to your specifications. HOWEVER, the price will go up some. For instance, I may ask that you attach an item (normally a Stone or TM, or a Battle Tower prize like a Toxic Orb) to whatever Pokemon you may be trading me in return. I AM WILLING TO COMPROMISE ON PRICES. Haggle me, I'm not so cheap. :P

So, there was a tornado warning earlier, but now, it seems to have REALLY swerved East, and completely passed us up. Punk ass bitch. T___T

So, yeah... We're completely safe and all that good stuff... Sat in the hallway for a bit, watched the lights stutter while we listened to music (and occasionally switched to the news for updates). Other than that, yeah. We're good. *thumbs up*

Finished Quinn's most common casual wear! Note, he's officially "Quinlan Liam." Long sleeve shirt with black sleeves and the rest red, save the white collar. Then, blue jeans with a "SWIM" patch on the left leg. No accessories. He's made to be simple, mundane, and somewhat idealistic on the outside, but more detailed eyes, ear notches, and a couple scars hint at a slightly deeper personality (most specifically, his troubled past with his family leading to his health obsession and other related issues). Other than that, though, he's a perfectly normal college freshman, getting in more on athletics than on brains, but being almost equally skilled in both areas. He's got a full scholarship on basketball. Quinlan's never had any recorded problems with the law, except for a few disputes with his father, which ended in the folks' divorce. Now he lives in the college dorms. Quinlan is reportedly straight, but most of his friends think he's getting dangerously close to Valium... Quinlan's about 18.
Valium's (officially "Reynard Taksony")supposed to be kinda different, what with the green hair, rainbow pants and necklace, seemingly limitless supply of glow-bracelets, piercings, and net shirt. He's not really too girly, but he's VERY obvious. Rumored to hang out at all the local clubs, in some circles to sleep with all the regulars there, and still bugged to roll with the other club-goers for "old time's sake." He got in mostly for his brilliance in Chemistry and Art. Val's never been known to fully abide by the law, but mysteriously enough, his police record's completely spotless. His college funds mostly came from Art, but a few distant relatives help him pay other expenses, like clothes and food. They also help pay for his dorm, though he's often there only a few times each week. Most claim he sleeps over in the back rooms of some of the fabled clubs he frequents, and that he's pretty tight with the owners for a variety of reasons. Valium's reportedly gay, and has had a not-so-secret crush on Quinlan since he first set eyes on him. Valium's about 22.

Aaaaand... I'll post the new pic on DeviantArt in a second, which seems to have suddenly picked up in popularity on my end! So, whee! Now, I'll probably play games or draw or just surf around the net for a bit... Might as well talk to Keith while I'm here...

calebs_halo @ 2007-03-08T18:06:00

2007-03-09T00:13:53Z

So, my computer was screwin' up last night... Internet connection poppin' on and off all the time, but I think it has remedied itself. Anyway... So, I've been really bogged down by homework, and the time I get to do much else, I'm working on a picture for Keith. I just haven't been able to draw anthro the past few days, though, so I'll start a pic, and almost immediately throw it out because it comes out all wonky, like lopsided eyes and stuff. Same kinda happened with the pic for Matt... Daniels (the bears) eyes were all weird. Anyway... Just kinda chillin' right now... Might wait till the weekend to try and draw Keefy's pic again. Till then, I'm working on some werewolf stuff... Need to get into Forsaken, but till then, I've just been workin' with Odin. I do hope they have pretty much the same tribes, just different names. I love Glass Walkers and Silent Striders most of all, but Children of Gaia are hot on their heels. Bone Gnawers have been lagging behind a little, but I still love them... Even if they smell really bad... :P

2007-02-05T01:08:47Z

So, I'm sorta on my Pokemon kick lately. Also included in my "kicks" are Resident Evil (the remake of the first one for Gamecube), Super Smash Bros. Melee (when ISN'T that a kick?) and I guess Tawamure, too, because I have some art of him I'm about to put on Deviant Art.

I'm feelin' a little sick. My head feels, like... Pressurized. Like there's a lot of air building up on the inside, but my nose and ears and everything is so stuffy that it just can't escape. I might be getting the flu, because that's what has been going around lately. On a lighter note, it may just be a cold.
Also, I just put away the dishes. I lifted up my favorite mug... My FAVORITE MUG-- straight from Alaska with huskies all over it... And it just broke at the handle. Thankfully, the mug fell into the dishwasher rack, so it wasn't damaged, but it IS separated from the handle. I won't be getting much use out of that mug anymore... Unless anyone knows a good glue for it?
I played some Guitar Hero 2 today... Started my own file on Easy mode, but I can play Medium now. The blue fret(?) isn't all that bad. Also, there's been a Ghost Hunters marathon on all day today. Pretty cool stuff. I wouldn't mind trying my hand at TAPS someday. I just think it'd be a neat thing to do.

So, yeah... Pokemon kick. Currently, Sceptile's my favorite. Pretty neat, and almost 100% superior to Venusaur as a special sweeper. Venusaur WAS the strongest grass pokemon till Jumpluff came out. Jumpluff has crap special attack, though. Sceptile fixes that nicely, having above average Special Attack, and MASSIVE speed. Also, Sceptile's got a decent movepool. You can teach it Dragon Claw! Or Crunch! Plus, Leaf Blade is FAR superior to Razor Leaf, having 20 more power, and 5 more accuracy. Because of Leaf Blades's power, you don't need to give it so many PP (Razor Leaf has 25, Leaf Blade has 15). Plus, Leaf Blade has just as high a crit. hit ratio as Razor Leaf. Put simply- Leaf Blade > Razor Leaf. I plan on working on some other pokemon, too. I think I might actually do a short fanfiction, so I can include all sorts of crazy attack combinations you can't pull in the games... Like the show, only not stupid.
Resident Evil kick. Keith's helping me through a couple puzzles in Resident Evil that have been bugging me, like the missing score of the sheet music, and getting the chemical. Other than those, so far I'm doing well. The Assault Shotgun kicks ass, but I don't plan on using it anymore than I used the Shotgun (which so far has been about 3-5 shots). I don't even carry either with me. The handgun will suffice until I start hitting Hunters, which jump like flees and then pop your head off. Then the Assault Shotgun will come in handy, because I won't want to waste Magnum ammo. I just killed the Snake. Crap, now what do I do? x_x;;
Smash Bros. Melee, w00t! Yep, been playing Fox... Got a little better with him and Falco, better with Jigglypuff, better with Roy, better with Ice Climbers... Not much else to say. You actually have to watch me play to see how much I've progressed, especially with Fox. It's getting easier and easier to shorthop, shuffle, and combo with Fox-- to the point where eventually it'll just be muscle memory. Shuffling is easiest with Roy and Jigglypuff so far, though Fox is most shuffle-heavy for me right now. Dr. Mario, I haven't been playing, but I have started on Young Link. Fox remains my best character, though I do things with Jigglypuff previously unseen. >>
Tawamure... Yeah, I draw him. That's about it.

I'm feeling more and more sick by the second, now, and my head is started to hurt due to the pressure.

4/ /
Itchy. Tasty.

So, if I didn't say it already, my new years resolution was to take better care of myself. Lose a little weight (not too much, but I'd like to fit into my old shorts again XD), be sure to do EVERYTHING in my power to get rid of my acne, etc... Maybe give myself more treats, because sometimes I have to be reminded that I'm really worth all the trouble. Who better to remind me than myself? *cough* Keith *cough* :P

So, yeah... I'm trying to do what I can to resist eating unhealthy foods, though I still have a little in moderation. I plan on taking some 30-40 minute walks each night, too.
I'm taking a break from games, specifically FFXII... Ummm, I think I'll start learning to cook more often... Also, with some luck I'll be testing for my permit this Friday, so I'll likely study my lil' book a little just to be safe. I'll be drawing, too, because I might be doing an art trade with Matt soon. I wanna work on getting better with my Prisma Colors, and I'm working on a picture between Rock Lee and Neji Hyuga from Naruto. Neat. :D

Okay, bye people!

calebs_halo @ 2007-01-01T11:56:00

2007-01-01T18:10:31Z

So, I went to a New Years party last night. It was fun. We played Twister, I watched Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time (it was pretty good), we talked... We played this game called "Blair Witch Hide and Seek." Two or Three people all hide in around the same place with one cellphone, and they call the house phone when they're ready. They give a couple hints as to where they are through the housephone, and then the seekers have to find them based on those clues. We hopped fences to get those people. :D I also met a few new people, of course... Taryn's little brother, Tyler, was SO eager to drag me from the party and play him in a few games of Smash Bros. Melee because I beat him a couple times earlier before the party actually started, and I've been his archrival since. XD;;; So, yeah, I won 2/3 games, playing Fox the first two games, and the third game where I lost, playing Young Link, where I kept trying to use my Down+B to get back up on the stage, instead of my Up+B. Regardless, I normally play Young Link for the fun factor, where as I play Fox for the competition factor. Yep. Another neat person... I think it's spelled Brooke, but she's neat. We have a lot of things in common. I think she might go to China Springs, though. She has a bad memory sometimes, but while she and Taryn were walking me home, we all agreed that we definitely had to do that kinda party thing again. It was a lot of fun, especially when taking pictures of all the awkward positions the people took in Twister. Taryn's boyfriend, Cody, is UBER tall, so the long limbs guaranteed his championship. XD
Umm, I might be doing an arttrade with Matt! w00t! I might have him do Valium, or Tawamure. Of course, I'd have to dig up a few Tawamure sketches, because I haven't been doing much with him lately... Matt's a natural cartoonist, so I think I can get the best results doing the more colorful personalities. Tawamure's a prankster and such, and Valium's just very much a bright, light-hearted personality. What's awesome, though, is that Matt also has The Life of David, which is a slice-of-life comic, meaning he can address more serious issues, too, while still keeping a lighthearted attitude thanks to the little jokes and innuendos throughout the thing. It doesn't get too serious, but it gets its point across. So, yeah. Probably Val or Tawamure, but I might even go with Acanthus. Who knows? We'll see. I've gotta go till then, though. My New Years resolution is to take better care of myself, so I'm gonna go wash my face and such. I know if I just keep it up, I'll be rid of this acne SOMEDAY. It'll happen, just you watch. Later.

calebs_halo @ 2006-12-30T15:38:00

2006-12-30T22:06:16Z

Not much to say... Started a new file on MGS3 earlier today to try and get Snake's Nightmare, but I got bored pretty quick and shut it off. I might watch The Exorcism of Emily Rose while mom and dad our out shopping, or maybe play some FFXII, which I sorta need to catch up on. Most of my FFXII time is actually just looting enemies and such for money so that I can afford only the best, most up-to-date equipment. Also, with all that hunting, I get lots of LP and such, especially considering that the party members in reserve wear Golden Amulets, doubling how much LP they get. My current main team is Vaan, Balthier, and Ashe.
I've switched Vaan to Poles (Zephyr Pole, specifically) to exploit enemies with low Magic Def. and take advantage of his speed, poles naturally having a better chance for striking multiple hits anyway. He mostly Steals from enemies with HP>70%, and then buffs, attacks, etc. Sometimes I have him Poach, if the enemy is worth Poaching, and I'll occassionally have Balthier throw a Baccusse's Wine at him. He takes out most enemies pretty efficiently, exploiting the common Aero weakness with Zephyr Pole.
Balthier's still using Guns to hit Flying enemies, and to deal great damage to enemies with really high armor defense-- he's also my 'chemist,' dealing with a Pheasant Netsuke and using X-Pots when characters get under 50% HP, using Remedies when needed, and fully restoring KO'd characters with Phoenix Downs. He uses Achilles and Expose on the enemies occassionally, too. With Wyrmfire Shot, Silent Shot, and Mudshot in my arrsonal, it pays to use Achilles. Blind, Silence, elemental weaknesses, etc-- all are exploited with Balthier.
Finally, Ashe. She still uses a Sword and Shield, and specializes in direct attacks, and support. She constantly buffs and uses Achilles when facing Flying enemies so Balthier can deal more damage with various shots, while Vaan will spam 1000 Needles. Otherwise, she'll buff, Dispel enemies with Haste and/or Reflect, Heal, and once all such things are out of the way, she'll start directly attacking what she can. She's pretty much my stereotypical Paladin, despite her low HP, due to equiping Heavy Armor, using only a Thief's Cap as light armor, mainly for speed boost. She doesn't have any ESPECIALLY worth-while accessories right now, so she just has Gauntlets till I can get her with a Bubble Belt or something.
In my reserve party, Penelo is actually the big damage dealer, due to her INCREDIBALLY powerful spellcasting and versatility. If she needs to deal physical damage, I have Ninja Swords ready. Magical damage, I equip Staves and have her cast Blizzaga or something. Fran still uses bows and supports with some lack-luster magic potency. Then, Basch, who I'm starting to, well... Not HATE, but dislike. He doesn't have much skill at damage dealing at the moment, but hey-- I have him using an Axe, so most of the time he's putting out 200-500 damage, but if I'm lucky, it'll be about 2000-3000. Yep. I'll have to give him a Great Sword or something for more reliable damage.

Anyway... Oh, music. I've already pirated most of the songs I was looking for, but there are some I don't have yet. I'll probably be able to get most of them from Keith, some from my friend Taryn, and some from Cole. We'll see... Here they are.

Billie Jean-- Michael Jackson
Black or White-- Michael Jackson
Beat it-- Michael Jackson
Sexyback-- Justin Timberlake
The Kill-- 30 Seconds to Mars
Beautiful Day-- U2
Killing Myself Again-- Deadstar Assembly
Send me an Angel-- Deadstar Assembly
Juke-Joint Jezebel (The Giorgio Moroder Mixes)-- KMFDM
Control (Juno Reactor Mix)-- Traci Lords
This is Halloween-- Marilyn Manson
Losing my Religion-- Ryan Star
Clocks-- Ryan Star
Paint it Black-- Ryan Star
Dolphin's Cry-- Magni
Wind it Up-- Gwen Stefani
Blue-- Daft Punk
One More Time-- Daft Punk

That's all for now. Dunno if I'll get online tonight, but feel free to call me, people! It's a little late, but I'll be getting in the shower now. I need to condition my hair BAD right now.

Also, Naruto 1-12 is great. I'm beginning to seriously adore Shikamaru. <33

So, here I am. I'm home, blah blah. I feel dirty, so I'm gonna shower, then I'll eat dinner, and hope that Keith doesn't scream at me, because I know he's going to try to call me tonight. I was at Jake's house, and he called about something apparently important, and I couldn't talk to him because if I tried, I'd have no privacy, and Jake would start bitching all night about Keith because they don't get along well, and Keith, when he calls, will probably bitch about Jake. I honestly think it's extremely childish, which is sad coming from someone like me. So, obviously, I told him I would try to call him back later, but he just kept interrupting me with "Okay, bye. Bye. Okay, bye. Kay bye. Bye." as I tried to explain that I was sorry and such. He tried calling the next night, and I went ahead and went with the first or second "bye," knowing if I didn't he'd just keep saying it anyway as I tried to apologize and explain. Then, of course, Jake gave me shit all night, asking who had called and shit. Then he got all defensive when I told him that I wanted to go home, because my friend Cole called, and suddenly Jake felt all butt-hurt that I had friends other than him. He tried to cover it up, later, saying that he was happy he wasn't the only friend I actually hung out with, but yeah. I know he's upset.

On a lighter note, I watched Pulp Fiction for the first time. It's pretty neat, but jumps a lot.

Ummm, tonight's gonna be hell. I'd at least better be clean when I burn out, so I'll go take my shower now. Bye.

Hey, all. Umm, I'm at Jake's house right now. I think Keith's upset with me, because he tried calling me last night, and tonight, and as soon as he knew that I was staying at Jake's, he's like "bye. *click*" So, yeah. I'll probably go home tomorrow.

On a lighter note, I'm KINDA getting back into Magic. Jake and I went to Wal-Mart and both bought a deck each. I got Reality Fracture from Time Spiral, and Jake got Sliver Evolution from Time Spiral. Sliver Evolution's just naturally pretty good, mostly due to the addition of Gemhide Slivers, which basically turn all slivers into a Birds of Paradise. Reality Fracture has a really unique idea-- a blend of Storm, and a new ability I was previously unaware of called Suspend. Rather than play a creature or spell outright, the player can instead pay a certain mana cost to Suspend said creature or spell-- removing it from the game with a specified number of "time counters." During your upkeep, you remove one of those counters from each suspended creature or spell, and when their are no more counters, that creature or spell comes into play free of mana cost with Haste. As such, with proper timing and a few cards to manipulate the number of time counters on the suspended cards, you can build up good sized Storms without even spending any mana, at which point all you have to do is throw out a Grapeshot, or an Empty the Warrens for decent burn damage, or a small army of 1/1 Goblins, respectively.

First, changes I made to MY deck: Reality Fracture. Well, while it was fun and interesting to play, it wasn't very efficient at doling out damage. The Empty the Warrens weren't helping at all, either, so I turned to throwing in a few burn spells. All I needed were a few cheap ones, like Shock, to help build up Storm count while leaving plenty of mana for some Grapeshots. The deck instantly picked up the pace in dealing damage. The next problem was enemy creatures, though. Without Empty the Warrens to soak up all my Storms, I had very few creatures. Now, I was DELIGHTED to see that they had reprinted the Giant Oyster-- one of my favorite blue cards. Then, of course, there were the Serrated Arrows. Those, in combination with a lil' extra mana to cast and buyback my Clockspinnings, gave me some efficient creature sweeping going on, as well as a very basic lockdown, being able to tap and keep tapped a potentially troublesome creature. Well, what better to do than to throw in a few Essence Flares? The creatures were tapped, so the +2/+0 bonus didn't hurt me at all. Instead, said creatures just suffered till they were brought down into the crushing darkness of the sea. The Riftwing Cloudskates add for a little more control, too, being able to bounce troublesome creatures that might take too long to get rid of, or when both Oysters are currently occupied with other creatures-- also, it builds up Storm, so you can toss out a couple Shocks and a Grapeshot at the enemy for suprisingly good damage, not to mention that when coming back from suspension, they have haste, and being 2/2 Fliers which bounce creatures is SUPER useful. What also helps Storm, is having some mana added with the creatures you send out and the spells you cast-- Coal Stokers, Lava Spikes, and Desperate Rituals spliced unto said Lava Spikes. You get more mana that could potentially be used to cast more burns, buyback Clockspinnings or Whispers of the Muse, and all sorts of other things. It's worth it to Clockspin your Serrated Arrows for more counters, or multiplying those -1/-1 counters on the clamped creatures. The Deep-Sea Kraken is extremely useful when suspended, as it will stall for time-- the enemy player being careful not to play too many spells, because the kraken is a nasty 6/6 that can't be blocked, and comes in with Haste after being suspended, and everytime that enemy player plays a spell, you get to take one more time counter off of the kraken, bringing the enemy ever closer to a world of hurt. Paired with other suspensions, building Storm to fuel burn spells, and the raw power of those tricky suspended cards, it has a fairly solid offense, backed with the defensive side of the Oysters, Arrows, and Essence Flares. All-in-all, it's a pretty solid deck concept. I'll probably start getting boosters again, and I'll be able to customize it with more suspensions. I look foreward to getting more Riftbolts. :P

As for the Sliver deck... Well, let's just say... You don't really get to know what the fuck I did to that thing... I tell you one thing though, it can get off on turn 3 at best, and you don't know how many original combos I've got goin' on there (yes, I checked EssentialMagic, and they're NOT THERE BITCHES)... Sadly, all I've got is a few plans, but they test EXTREMELY well in MWS. They all get off really fast, and with a few certain card combos and a little luck, you can throw down about half your deck by turn seven-- sometimes all in that one turn! I remember one test, where I had almost nothing first turn to fifth turn, but suddenly, turn seven, I shat half the deck. It was godly. It's defenses are PRETTY solid, but it's offense is the real alpha bitch. I'm pretty proud of myself. Now if only it wouldn't cost about $500 bucks to make... x_x;

Last deck is ALMOST indestructable. I call it Zero Blind Spot, after an episode of Naruto actually... That's because it's defenses are almost impenetrable, no matter how you come at it. It auto-mills the foe, and loops itself. I've actually determined that there are only 3 or 4 select cards that I know of that could REALLY screw it up, and actually turn it's greatest strengths against it. So, while it has very few weaknesses, those little vulnerabilities can completely DECIMATE it. Any SINGLE one of those cards could take it out-- no combos are even needed. And then, of course, the deck gets off PRETTY early, but it's biggest weakness of all remains that time between the beginning of the game, and the point where you finally and suddenly become almost invulnerable. I try to remedy this by keeping the deck at about 40 cards, because that's honestly all it needs, but it mills itself if one of those nasty cards get out. But yeah. Once again, I'm pretty proud of myself. :P

So, that's all for now... Typing this up made me feel a bit better, but I still miss Keith. Don't be pissed at me, I love you! ;-------;

So, yeah... Night night, all.

Keith's away right now, so I think I'll go ahead and post on some of the finer points of today's haul. I love Christmas. :P
(No, I'm not just loving it just for the presents. I'm using the whole greedy lil' bastard routine for humor's sake. x_x;; (Although the presents are nice, too...))

So, best of all I think must have been my DS... Yep, I've got a DS Lite-- Onyx. It's pretty. At least, it WAS, before it got all covered with finger prints. :\
Of course, I've gotta get at least one game for it about the same time that I get the player itself, sooooo... The gift after happened to be the Dachshund edition of Nintendogs! I specifically requested Dachshund for the Siberian Husky pups, but I wanna hook up with some other people so I can get Dalmations, German Sheapherds, etc... I might actually raise a Shi Tzu (don't think I spelled that right.)
So, yeah... My Siberian Husky pup. It's a dog named Art. He currently knows how to Sit, Shake, and "Shake it!" 'Shake it' being my command for the trick which I don't know what it's called... He gets his rump all up toward the screen and shakes it, though. Tomorrow, I'm working on Lie Down, Speak, and Tail Chase. I'm kinda poor right now, but if I take Art on enough walks, then I should be able to get enough items and such to trade in that I don't need. Also, I've already increased his Stamina four or five times today, which is great, because he can walk longer distances! I can make it to the discount shop easy, which is a blast. Haven't checked many other places, though... Hmm... I plan on probably raising only one or two pups at a time, just to try and save on supplies and such. That way, I'll be able to master one breed before getting to another! I love being able to just say "paw" into the mic, and have the lil' Art hold up his paw... It's adorable... <333
Umm, I also got Soul Caliber 3, and Shadow of Collossus-- neither of which I've gotten to play, because dad's been hogging the PS2 all day with Guitar Hero 2. Don't get me wrong, I love GH2, but I wanna play Shadow so bad... And SC3 is just gorgeous. T___T;;;
I GOT FUCKING SIX VOLUMES OF NARUTO. Yep, I only had 1-6. Then Christmas came, and I got 7-12. It's great. I've already read 7-10, but I'm saving 11-12 for a little later, so I don't go through it all at once.
I also got a few choice movies-- most notable of which being The Butterfly Effect. Then I've also got The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Phantom of the Opera, Young Frankenstein, and The Labyrinth. OMG. THE LABYRINTH. Fucking. Legendary. So, yeah. I also got a new pack of MUCH needed socks, and a few nice shirts. They're a little thin, but they're SOFT. I could really actually stand them being a little thinner, if you get my drift, but I'd need to drop a few pounds. Umm, it's Christmas-- I don't have that kind of willpower around this time of year. XD;;;
However, I AM stressing that it's going to be my New Year's resolution to make an honest effort and losing a few pounds. Not much, just enough for my health and to make me feel better. I mean, when I first came to Texas, I was at a weight I could tolerate, though I was even shorter than I am now. I've grown a few inches (not many, really), though, and I've actually put on a lot of weight. So, yeah. I wanna get back down to a comfortable size. Hell, maybe I'll be able to wear shorts again! XD;;; We'll see. :P

Errr, I need more DS games. I have a $20 dollar gift card to Best Buy, and about a total of $110 dollars from Christmas and Birthday. Then there's the two $20 dollar gift cards to HotTopic. The HT gift cards will likely be headed mostly toward a new copy of the JTHM Director's Cut, and maybe Squee's book of horrors or whatever, which I want. The Best Buy gift card and some of the B-day and x-mas money will probably go to a few new DS games and maybe a carrying case for said games. The rest will probably be stashed away for other purposes, like buying Keith off online auction. WOO, FIVE MINUTES LEFT. Kidding, of course, just kidding...

OH. ONE MORE THING. Lady in the Water is FLIPPIN' AWESOME BITCHES. It's a must see. <3333
Story is SO pretty, too, and the Scrunt is just awesome. Too bad he's not one of the available Nintendogs breeds, because I would SO get one. <3

Okay, I actually read through this entry, and... I feel like a fucking valley girl at some points... The gay is spreading. x_x;;

Oh, shit... I almost forgot, somehow. Jake actually did something REALLY sweet for me today. Well, yesterday, he called because he wanted to take me out to see a movie... Why? Because he FELT BAD because he wasn't at my lil' (emphasis on lil') birthday party. He felt SO guilty, that he felt inclined to take me to the theaters, pay for everything, and let me pick the movie. Well, we decided to go TODAY instead, and so at about 3:20PM, he picked me up, and we took the steps to gettin' our tickets and everything... We saw Black Christmas. I knew it was going to be terrible (and it was), but that was the point-- it's a nice memory, you know? Just watchin' a stupid movie, catchin' all the hints, and having the whole mystery solved before the beginning credits finish rolling. Yes, it's that predictable (hyperbole). But, yeah. That was very nice of him. :D

calebs_halo @ 2006-12-24T12:08:00

2006-12-24T18:20:11Z

HOLY SNAP SHIT.

It's December 24, 12:09. It's already a little over HALF WAY through Christmas Eve, and I was hardly aware. That means tomorrow is Christmas, and my lil' Christmas themed drawing isn't done yet... It'll probably be late, then, I guess. Ah well, no problem. Know why?

BECAUSE I CAN SHORT HOP WITH FOX, PEOPLE. Yep. I mess up occassionally, but for the most part, I can short hop with Fox. And once you can short hop with Fox, you can short hop with just about anyone. XD;;
As Keith could tell you (because I was playing while talking to him on the phone), I have determined Dr. Mario to be incredibally cheap, because he's just plain GOOD. Just run, short hop, toss out a pill, and start pummling the enemy once they're stunned for a split second by the impact of the pill... Then, of course, just like Fox you can down throw--short hop--down A (drill). I can do it with Kirby, too. It's easiest to do it with Dr. Mario, though, and it deals good damage.
Also, Young Link has a few more good smashes than I gave him credit for. Still, I wouldn't use him for competative play nearly as much as I would for fun. I just don't like Link-- he's too slow. Young Link's got great projectiles, though, and he's faster. Too bad his up+B doesn't smash, though. Other than that, yeah.
Shiek's Needlestorm is pimpin'. 'Nuff said. *west side* (Yeeeah, just kidding. x_x;; )
I actually haven't played Ice Climbers recently... Better work on that...
Samus is pretty neat, especially with that long grapple. Not my kinda character, though.
I've not given' up on Falco yet. Not yet. >>
IT'S REALLY BENEFICIAL WHEN PLAYING SUPER FAST CHARACTERS TO GO TO TRAINING MODE AND PRACTICE ON 1/4x SPEED, THEN 1/2x, THEN 2/3x, AND THEN 1x. Just lettin' you know. It actually helps in learning how to short hop with more difficult characters, and it lets you narrow down the frame rates at which everything happens, so in the end, all you have to do is speed up your hands by ratio in comparison to the game. <333333

FFXII owns. Just sayin'.

I love Keith... I haven't been affectionate toward him, and I should be, ESPECIALLY considering it's around Christmas time and all... Also, I forgot to wish him a happy Yule two or three days ago... Yep... But, he knows I care, right...? ;----;
Despite how much he HATES Christmas, too, he wished me a happy one. That's REALLY sweet of him... <333

So, what's on today's agenda? Well, I'm wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and flip-flops... I'm drinking an iced cappuccino I made from this morning's coffee, and I'm about to go out and do a little yard work while listening to Kelly Clarkson and drinking this DAMN good ice cappuccino, like what real men do. Yep. All man right here. :o
Afterwards, I'll probably go inside and force Pokemon to have sex with each other so I can reap the benefits of their offspring and forget the parents in some digitized box. Yep, I finally purified that Houndoom-- affectionately named Lucifer (female, so Lucy for short)-- and I'm gettin' me some Houndour pups. <3

This drink has too much ice. :\

calebs_halo @ 2006-12-22T21:55:00

2006-12-23T03:58:59Z

Most bullshit thing just happened.
Why is all my Pokemon shit suddenly falling to pieces on me? Fire Red's little internal battery died, and I kept getting message sayin so... Silver has decided to delete my save file. But this is the best one...
Colleseum. I sat for, like, an hour to go through all these monotenous battles and shit to purify my Houndoom. Then, once I get to the shrine... The game FREEZES. I forgot to save first. I have to go through another hour of purifying my Houndoom. :\

Yeah, that's all.

2006-12-20T12:23:50Z

Happy birthday me! Yep, Keefy, despite his bad mood, was nice enough to remember, and wish me a happy birthday. <33
So, I'm 17... And I'm really only just now about ready to get my permit. I got the form for my TEA form or whatever signed a couple days ago, and I need to pick it up today. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until the end of Winter Break to get my permit.
Umm, I had a REALLY awkward, but REALLY good dream. And I've come to rationalize that extreme jumping ability and unreal airtime is seriously a consistant thing in my dreams. I like it. <3

I GET CHEESECAKE TODAY. Love for EVERYONE! Especially Keith for remembering my birthday through a rabid state of mind, at about one or two in the morning! <3333

Murr. :D :D :D :D :D

Not many people have been posting lately, it seems... Nothin' from Matt, Jimi, OR Keith. Weird... Anyway, getting bored of seeing the same old entries on my friend's page, so here's a new entry.

I'm SO stressed over the whole school dealie. I'm learning things I'll NEVER need, I'm falling apart over the fact that the entirety of my life is being decided by how well I do on these worthless tidbits of trivia the teachers cram down my throat, etc, etc...

Also, I took the PSAT. It was okay, but I didn't quite finish sections 1 or 4. Tried, but couldn't quite get it. Almost, though. I hope I did well. If I do good, then I get a scholarship for it. Nice... Also, it looks good on your college resumee.

Other than that, not much going on in the life of Chris... OH.

At school, they're having this little contest... It's Teen Read Week, so the library is celebrating. Every day that you borrow a book from the school library, you can enter your name into a drawing, which will take place on Friday (tomorrow). They have 5 (probably 10, 5 for each lunch period), $20.00 Barnes and Noble gift cards. So far, I've only had 2 chances to enter, and the first book I actually took the time to read. I would have entered 4 times by now, but my schedule sorta forbids it... Teachers suck ass...
Anyway, so that first book... It caught my eye because I remember Keith talking about it, saying it was okay if I remember correctly, and plus it was just sitting on the shelf with the whole front cover in plain view... It's called "Cut," by Patricia McCormick. It's about Callie, who is staying at an institution called Sea Pines (affectionately nicknamed "Sick Minds" by a few tenants), primarilly to deal with her little problem. It's basically her road to recovery, or at least the road to the road to recovery. It's confusing reading my lil' description, but it's much easier to simply read the book. It's short, anyway... I got it Tuesday during 5th period, and finished and turned it in the next day, same period. I was really satisfied with the book as a whole. Sorta reminded me of "Go Ask Alice," only with cutting as the problem, rather than drugs. Also, "Cut" is fiction. "Go Ask Alice" is a collection of diary entries and other such things from this girl. Both are really good, so check them out.
Also, thanks to Keith, because I would never have really noticed the book if I hadn't remembered him reading it. XD
Lots of love. <33

That's really about it... Working on more art, and an essay due tomorrow. I think I'll do the "Drowning" theme next in my Quest for Improvement. Yep...

2006-10-07T04:14:06Z

If I post it here, I'm sure I can get it out of my head for at least the rest of the night...

Earlier today, when I was getting ready for school, mom told me that there was this pure white kitten in the backyard, licking Mojo's food dish. She knows this because she had just gone out to fed Mojo, and there it was... When Mojo came out, it jumped up on the chair... He sniffed the cat some, and she pawed at his nose a little. A bit later, Mojo ran off, and the cat took advantage of his absence, helping him finish off his breakfast... It was weird... When I got back from all my toiletries and such, it was gone...
So, I come home from school, and my parents go to this rehearsal for a wedding... A couple hours later, I start hearing this loud meowing... I go outside to see what it is, and there it was,-- that white kitten was outside our across-the-street neighboor's house, meowing it's lil' lungs out. I chuckled a little after realizing it was the same cat, but I really didn't think much of it... Till later.
Mom comes home, and tells me the cat's right outside our house. After a bit, I open the door, and it's RIGHT THERE in front of the glass door, looking in. After a sec it runs out of sight (exit stage left). I close the door, and start begging mom to let me find something to feed it. I start going through our pantry, knowing we normally have a couple packets of tuna there, but alas, we have none. So we remember the canned dogfood we've had for a while, open that up, and put some in a tupperwear, filling another with water. I open the wooden door again, and there's this little kitten sitting there, lookin' up at me and meowing it's heart out to me... It's only by now that I realize how thin it is... I get on my knees and set down the water, opening the door a little and pushing the food bowel out there to keep it from getting inside (mom's severely allergic to cats). Without a moments hesitation, it starts scarffing the dog food like it's the first meal the darling's had in days... I set out the water and my arm brushes it's ear... It flinches a little, but otherwise doesn't mind... Then I close the door and watch it eat for a second, closing the door a little bit later...

And she's still out there, as far as I know... Sitting on the chair out front, because she KNOWS it's the best place to be heard when she meows in such a pathetic way... Just crying, begging, SCREAMING for attention and a warm place to stay... I wanna let her in, but I can't, and it's sorta rippin' me up. Mom says she'll buy some cat food for her tomorrow, so I'll keep her to that. I hope she's still there tomorrow... I swear, I'd fall apart if it died... I mean, we found these kittens once... Five or six of them, newborn, abandoned by their mother. We tried to raise them, but one by one after the first week, they started dying... I was too young to really understand at the time, but I think about it now, and I get all teary eyed, and I think about how we made them graves and everything... It was so sad, especially now that I think of it again... I'd best stop now, before I start cryin' or something...

So, yeah. Been drawing, have my Magic theme for the Quest for Improvement pretty much figured out... Just gotta put it on good paper, and I'll be happy, I suppose.

YO-YOS KICK ASS. 'Cept Keith isn't interested. NIH. NIH NIH. *neeeee-wah!*

So, that's a meme from Keith! Yep. Working on the Quest for Improvement...

God, I'm sore... I wish someone'd come give me a full rub-down. Scalp, temples, sinuses, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, back, rump (not in a dirty way mind you), behind my thighs, calves, feet... The whole deal. I'm sorta gettin' super-stressed again, but I'm workin' on it... Trying to keep my face clear as possible, using my Crest Whitening Strips, etc, etc... Furiously studying my driver's book, because I need my permit so I can get my licsence, so I can get a JOB so I can get MONEY. Umm, at least the fucking fliers are done. I'm exhausted, though...
Umm, by the way, I'm pretty sure all the soreness is on account of Soccar all last week and Hockey this week. Both sports I relatively enjoy to a degree, and they get me movin' so I can at least keep myself from getting any bigger than I already am. I'd at least like to not get bigger than I am now.

Oh, by the way... Concert last night, for those of you who didn't know. It went relatively well, so I'm pretty happy... Ummm, I LOVE this CD. It's great. I didn't know we even had it... I mean, I've always loved "You Oughta Know," but I just didn't know we even had it! XD;;

That's all, at this point... Stressed, tired, a little hungry, and DAMN am I lonely... Thank god for Keith bein' there to give me some company... Despite that I've pretty much abandoned him to write this entry as fast as I could. x_x;;;

Err, yeah. Bye bye!

I'm a SFH, an acronym not for you people to understand. It's like a secret only I know, so the whole "i know something you don't know" takes my mind off the reason for the acronym being there in the first place.

All of today was sweltering. Like, a thousand suns condensed and packed into an indestructable EasyBake Oven. Needless to say, my fan didn't do much for me, even at full blast. Of course, I spent the entire day in my room drawing and listening to the Mortal Kombat 2 soundtrack. I LOVE that thing, yes I do. You know, the song "Genius" from Pitchshifter would be the absolute most perfect song for Rock Lee (Naruto) ever. No one here but me watches Naruto, though, so none of you would really know. x_X
Speaking of Mortal Kombat, I can't wait for that last one to come out... Yep, the LAST Mortal Kombat is on it's way, and it's going out with a bang. The last game's gonna have EVERY SINGLE MK CHARACTER EVER, except Kintaro, I think... And I think Motaro is suddenly going to have two legs, for whatever reason... x_x;; Anyway, it's going to kick more ass than a perpetual ass-kicking machine. Yeah... <3

Listening to my All Region music on the CD right now... It doesn't work in my stereo in my room for whatever reason, so yeah... Anytime I'll be practicing, it'll be on the computer. Lovely. x_x;;
It's actually a lot easier to learn it primarilly by just listening and mimicing, but I can't help but feel that I'm cheating. For that reason, I try to pay more attention to the sheet music, but occasionally I'll stop the music and put down the music to rewind the track a little and go over certain parts I have trouble remembering. Not going to great right now... I love singing.

Not much else to say (god I say that a lot), but then again, I spent the day in my room since 12:00PM this day. HALF A DAY WASTED because I couldn't get up earlier. Damn sleep deprivation.

That's all for now... MUST POST STUFF EVENTUALLY. QUEST FOR IMPROVEMENT STILL LIIIIIIVES.

Once again, not much going on... Today, I woke up, made my bed, got a shower, put on some clean clothes... Brushed my teeth, fixed my hair, or lack thereof... Afterwards, I put in my contacts, the right contact going in on the first try, the left going in on the third, both with luck, I assume.
Denn, I ate food, yes I did... Some fried catfish and some steak fries, with lemon. Squeezed the lemon juice onto the catfish, and on the last three bites, I ate a lemon with each bite. So, yeah, it was good. After that, I rinsed the dishes off (mine from breakfast, as well as some from last night) and loaded the dish washer. Then I took out the trash, and proceeded to clean my room. Zuletzt, I studied my driver's book, and browsed the online world for anything of interest. Didn't find much, expect for Monty Python's "Dead Parrot" sketch. It's hilarious, indeed...

Mom got home today, having accomplished her mission with flying colors. I now have the "V for Vendetta" two-disc special edition in my possession, and I'm looking foreward to watching it Thursday or Friday. I WOULD watch it tomorrow, but I've got registration then. Dad says to be up and ready by about 9:30AM, because that's about when it starts. Wanna get there early, before the rush. Thankfully, I normally wake up by about 7:00-9:00AM as is. I guess I'll set my alarm anyway, though. Damn, I hate that thing...

Dinner was pretty simple, and I helped make it. Kinda worked as a prep-chef this time, really, because I've never grilled anything before. We had steak, twice-baked potatos, and some baked eggplant with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. It was pretty decent, but the eggplant's all mushy. Wouldn't have come out that way if it were zuccini... Probably a little crispier. They had none at the store, though, so eh.
Had dinner over Rockstar... I think it was Ryan that did this incredible preformance of "Losing my Religion" from R.E.M., playing baby-grand piano himself. It was great, but I still don't think he's gonna win. Magni didn't do SO great this week, sadly. Dilana is just fucking awesome, so yeah. Like, a GODDESS of music. <3 Ummm... I miss Phil Ritchie... He OWNS ZAYRA ANY DAY. I mean, seriously... Last week, she was an alien. This week, she's an enchantress. What the fuck? Plus, she has the most terrible breath control... Phil tended to go legato too much, made funny faces, and emphasized the words he shouldn't have, like "and." He has an AWESOME voice, though, and I would have had him stay over Zayra. He has much more potential, easilly. Anyway, I digress...
Rinsed the dishes after dinner during Lukas' preformance, because it was disgusting, and loaded those into the dish washer. It's still not full enough to wash, though, so I don't have to worry about putting dishes away tomorrow. Now, here I am, and I'm doing some light studying over my book, trying to draw a little, and drooling over V, because he kicks ass, and I want his mask.

That's about it... Just now putting on some music, because I've been busy typing this whole time. On MSN right now, Keith's offline. Nothing other than that... I miss Phil. :(

Stealing minutes... IN THE MORNING! :O

Yeah, today is already not much better than yesterday. A little, because it's a new start with new hope for a good day, but not much better.

Going to draaaaawwwwwwwww today. Lots. Also, I think we're going to the computer lab in English, so we can work on our little "Hero" reports. I wanted Da Vinci, but thanks to the fact that I was out that day, someone else took him. I've got Mozart no. No qualms with Mozart, but still... I would have preferred Da Vinci.

We're leaving for the choir trip to Houston all weekend, starting tomorrow...
I should go to school now...

Hmmm...

I wanna see the Hellsing anime... I'm loving the Manga so far, but I need more money, so I can get volumes 5 and 6... 7 when it comes out, too...

Uncle Carl and all his family may be coming down this weekend... It's a three day weekend, too. I get Labor Day off...

I hate having a bed time. It's so stupid.

Most every night, when I get in bed, I just lay there and stare at the ceiling while incessantly thinking about random shit. Then, I try to stop thinking. It just gets harder to stop thinking at that point. I never sleep, until I'm actually TIRED.

Who the Hell here is tired and ready for bed by 9:00PM?! WHAT THE HELL?! It's just not right.

So, I think I should have the right to stay up until I'm actually TIRED. And I mean, until I'm SLEEPY, like, I just can't WAIT to get in bed, you know? I never yawn before 11:00PM. Not once. So, it's not until then that I start thinking it might be about time for bed. That's the time when I can actually go to bed. It takes a lot less longer for me to fall asleep then. Half hour at most.

Of course, then there's those nights where I just DON'T sleep. Anyone else remember-or care, for that matter-about that one time when I went a WEEK off 3 MINUTES of sleep...? Yeah, that sucked. But I survived, and I actually did REALLY WELL considering it was THREE MINUTES. I can run off coffee and adrenaline pretty long, you know... >>
Even THEN, I NEVER fell asleep in class. NEVER IN MY LIFE, HAVE I FALLEN ASLEEP IN CLASS.
Plus, it's just awkward sleeping... Going to bed at 9:00PM, and just LAYING THERE wide awake for a couple hours or so drives me insane, because I could be doing so much other stuff during that time when I'm still awake, yet it's wasted on just laying there... It's not at all productive, just sitting there.

As far as I know, Keith can stay up as late as he likes. He just CHOOSES to go to bed at 11 each night, and it works for him. Quite well, I might add. I could be up talking to him for two more hours, you know... Besides, last year, I've had to stay up past midnight numerous times for homework, anyway... I doubt this year will be any easier. I've heard that Sophomore year is often the hardest.

Eh, maybe I'll ask Mum about it... I'd at LEAST like to negotiate one more hour... Just ONE MORE, at the very least... If not, then I'll rebel. I'll STOP sleeping, simple as that. They'll have to slip sleeping pills in my meal before I doze off. I'll just go off of adrenaline and coffee again, like I did before.

Bed times suck...

PS WOO!

Of all the entries I've made today-about three, I think-I haven't once mentioned that I love Barnes and Noble. Do you know why? Guess, c'mon. What 'book' have I been looking for since I finished the third? :3
