Holy shit.
“Btw kinda random, but you’re pretty cool…I kinda dig you, like in the good way.”
Alanna sent me that text about 15 minutes after we said good night after texting all day.
I sent back:
“Well shoot, I dig you in a good way too. And you’re beyond cool! 
“
Then she sent back:
“Awesome-o haha! Then I’m glad I said something than =D \m/ metal hands!….well, peace buster brown =))”
This girl is like a 9.5 and I’m like a 6. I must really have a decent personality or I’m actually great looking and have low self-esteem…or something. Because I have no idea how I have a girl so far out of my league liking me!
That's Miss 9.5! Alanna!
Yeah...that's me. Mister 6.
See what I mean?
I’m so frikking happy! Holy shit! I went from being so tired I could pass out to feeling so giddy I couldn’t stop laughing! I love this!
But since my life is going so great now…I know something horrible will happen to me within the next few weeks. I’ll lose my job, or get pulled over when I have no license, or something. Maybe it’ll be worse than usual and I’ll get in a horrible car accident. It never fails, when my life gets to a point where I have no real complaints and I’m truly happy, something bad happens that ruins it all. Or often times, everything that was good suddenly takes a horribly sharp turn for the worse. Never…never fails. I’m worried of what might happen, but I can’t let that take away this happiness I’m feeling now!

Today was amazing.
Today.
Today…was a good day.
I got to hang out with Alanna…hell yes.
We started hanging out around 2:30pm-ish, then I dropped her off at home around 2:30am. Today was a great day.
Like, at first, I was kinda iffy, since I wasn’t sure if she actually wanted to hang out, so I was being my pessimistic self, and thinking stuff like:
“She probably doesn’t really want to hang out, so meh, at least I’ll be outside the house though.”
But then when I said I’d pick her up around 4pm, she sent me a text at 2pm saying she couldn’t wait, and just wanted to hang out then. I suddenly got a nice boost in mood. I was almost dancing to my car and singing. Ok, fine. I was singing and dancing to my truck.
I go pick her up down the street from my house, and she looks….amazing. Like so beautiful. Her hair is done so cute, and she has really nice clothes on. Her make-up was a minimum (just mascara), and that how I love it. Less make-up, the better. She says she’s sorry for looking haggard, and I’m thinking to myself that she looks absolutely gorgeous, but keep it to myself, since I don’t want to make it too incredibly obvious that I think she’s perfect. She gets in my truck, and we jump right into conversation, and it’s great.
We’re about to drive past my house, and she’s like, “So where do you live?” I point to my house, and say, “The one behind the jungle,” since I have palm trees, palm bushes, and lots of vine plants (morning glories and such) outside. She thinks it’s completely awesome, and we continue to Starbucks.
We get there, and just sit in the chairs and talk for like an hour, then I tell her that my buddy Derek works at Pizza Hut across the street, so we go over to say, “Hi.” In all truth, it was to show Derek just how amazingly beautiful she was, and be happy. Right after that, we come back to Starbucks again, and see Cody Torgesrude (spelled that incorrectly totally), and chat with him for like an hour and half, then he leaves for work, and sit and talk longer. Then we head to Shari’s.
We sat at Shari’s for like 2 hours, and drink water etc. Her friend Vince had driven past us on the way there, and stopped in, and hung out with us for like 20 minutes. She talks about her bad break-up with her boyfriend, and how he’s a cheating slut with some slut. I get happy when she talks about it, but also feel really sorry, since I’ve dealt with the same thing. We talk longer, then we decide to go to Maple Gardens for eats.
We get the food, and she says we should go eat at a park alone. So we head to Dog Island park, and we eat at some benches in the back, until bees attack us, so we keep switching benches while eating for an hour, until we just go back and sit in my truck. We sit in my truck alone in the park for a few hours, until like 10pm-ish talking and looking up movie stuff on her phone (Can’t Hardly Wait and stuff). Then I tell her about Narnia. Narnia is this little tunnel in a park near-by that has a dead end at the end that is surrounded by trees with light gravel. We go there, and sit and talk for a half hour or so, until she stacks up like 5 leaves and I light them on fire….and that’s when it started.
We started gathering leaves, branches, and such, and made a nice fire. It was fun, and then we sat and watched the fire in relative silence (since we’re both really tired, but also both enjoy sitting in silence and enjoying company) for about an hour. We stay there from like 10:30 until around 1:45am. She tells me how none of her friends ever want to sit around outside and do stuff like that, and says she loves it. We come back to my truck, and start to drive her home.
On the way there, we talk a little, and mainly just enjoy sitting again. As we get into Anderson, she tells me all about how her friends did stuff on that road (painting and such). We finally get to her house, and after I park, she starts to get out, but then turns and says:
“I really want to give you a hug now.”
So she leans over and gives me the most amazing hug I’ve gotten in a long time. Then she smiles and says she had an amazing night, and had a really great time. We say good night, and she smiles the most beautiful smile, and goes inside.
I was so happy on the way home that the 20 minute drive home feels like 2 minutes, and I’m belting songs like, “My Name is Jonus,” “Scar Tissue,” and like 4 MSI songs at the top of my lungs. I call Kevin after I finish my cigar, and tell him how amazing Alanna is, and then end up just heading to his apartment. We talk for like an hour and a half about the Skivers (our band), and I constantly interrupt him with stuff about Alanna.
After that, I check my phone, and see Alanna left me a text saying:
“Thank you so much for hanging with me today! I had such a cool time! It was so radical! Good night =)”
I smile a huge smile, and send back saying that I had a great time and want to do it again sometime very soon.
Then I got my house, and turn on K-os, and go on myspace. I see she already has a bulletin up with the title: “Alanna Martinez” and the body was: “had such a dandy day!”
I became giddy at that point, and came to write this blog. I haven’t felt this happy in a long, long time. Everything is great right now!
•I have a place
•I have 2 great friends, who are awesome (Kevin and Derek)
•I have time and motivation to write
•I am actually working on projects with people (my plays, songs, movies, etc)
•I’m in a fucking band called, The Skivers!
•And finally, I’m meeting my dream girl. Literally.
When Lena and I first broke-up, I made myself feel better by making a list of what my perfect girl would be, and that was before I met Alanna. Here’s a rough memory of the list (I’m too into skiving to go out to my truck to grab the actual list, but this is what I remember):
• 18 or over
• Living away from home in Red Bluff or near
• Atheist or Agnostic ***
• Liberal ***
• Gorgeous ************
• Funny ***
• No baggage (crazy or kids) ***
• Loves Japan ***
• Smart ***
• Good taste in music ***
• Artsy ***
• Responsible ***
• Mature ***
• Single ***
• Vegan, Vegetarian, or wants to be ***
The ones with the “***” next to it are things Alanna matches to. She’ll be 18 in 3 months-ish, so that part is fine. She lives in Anderson with her mom still, but will move once 18, so that’s fine too. Other than that, she hits the rest of the list perfectly. I mean….I made this list before I even knew who she would too! I’ve been so excited just being around her all day! AHHHHHHHHH! YES!
Ok, well, I’m done for now with this, but wow. Wow, wow, wow. I want to marry this girl. Thing is, I wanted to take it slower with the next relationship I had, and I’m doing good so far. Since after Deedra, every girl I’ve gone on a date with, I kissed on the first date, and this time, I did not do that. I’m doing good! That hug Alanna gave me, it was amazing, and felt so good. I just like her so much. I’m about 85% sure she feels the same way too, but sometimes, it’s hard to tell with people. She was saying that when she’s with someone who she’s bored with (like if she’s not having fun with, or just doesn’t like), than she’d just text her friends to call and come pick her up or something, and since she said it randomly to me, I know that was her saying, “I like being around you.” Heck yessir.
Ok, now I am done. AHHHH! This is great.
Peace,
-Gary
A lot going on. End-hiatus. #87
In the past few months, a lot as been going on.
•I moved back to Red Bluff
•I got together with a girl
•I got my old job back
•Moved in with mom
•Moved out of mom’s when she moved, then I moved into my truck.
•Moved in with my step-dad for 3 weeks
•Got a place of my own
•Figured out the girl I was with was psycho, so left her
•Started hanging out with Kevin and Derek every night
•Started a band with Kevin and Derek
That brings me to now. That’s around 3-4 months wrapped up. I think I’ll be writing in this more often, but I know that whenever I say that, I lie to myself.
Don’t expect a miracle, that way it’s more miraculous when it happens.

Job Hunting
I haven’t been on much since the last summer. Just random blogs here and there. It’s because I’ve been so caught up in other things.
In the summer, I had just school and a simple part time job. I had no big bills aside from my 50$ phone bill each month.
I didn’t have difficult classes, and I didn’t have a major social life.
Just enough of everything to be content.
Then after the summer, I moved back to my hometown, and things got messy. There was the apartment thing, then the job search thing, then the losing of the said apartment the same week I got the job, then the quitting of the job to move to Redding, then the search a new job while doing class work on subjects that are more difficult, and throw on losing two girlfriends in that time….and that’s why I haven’t been content enough to write much.
Oh, I’ve written a lot, but not much in this type of blog context. It’s all been journals, stories, screenplays, poetry, songs, etc.
Anyways, I hope I’ll continue to write here. I still check on comments and comment back to everything, but I just don’t have the time I used to have, which sucks, since I love blogging.
-Gary
“What can me and my girlfriend do tonight”
Hahaha, I guess someone found my blog recently by putting that into the search engine. That’s classy. I’m glad to know that this is the Kama Sutra of blogs. Funny funny.
Special Edition •Fap•: Older Women: Joan Jett
And the fapping rolls on….
She’s still the most beautiful singer out there. Seriously. No joke. I can’t get over her. So gorgeous.
Damn, they bumped up the difficulty…
Elite 4 and champion in Pokemon used to be the cream of the crop in the game for NPCs, but they were still a bit lame in difficulty. I beat almost all the games Elite 4s the first try. Now I’m playing Diamond (had it for ages but stopped playing for a while), and got to the Elite 4. I was thinking, “Ok, I have all my awesome Hyper Potions and Revives, and my cool pokemon. In the fucking bag!” 2 hours later…. ”FUCKING FUCKING FUCK FUCK. FUCK YOU! FUCK YOUUUUUUU! FUCK YOUR MOM! FUCK YOUR DAD! FUCK YOUR GODDAMN DOG! FUCK THEM ALL!” *Ahem* The actual Elite 4 were not too bad, but still way harder than past games. Each was like fighting a champion from the last game. You get close to killing them (anywhere in the lowest yellow health, and red health), they pop a full restore on them next turn no matter what. They’ll only do that once per pokemon, but they’ll do for each. Which sucks. And then if they are matched against one of your pokemon and they are in a disadvantage, they’ll switch out for a better one. Shit, I had one bust out a Baton Pass+Agility on me. Come on now! The Elite 4 is supposed to be easy money and experience so I can do Battle Tower and online. Sure, my pokemon were all an average of level 49-52, and the opponents pokemon were high 50s to high 60s, but that’s how it was in the old games. I’d go into the Elite 4 with my 6 level 45-48 pokemon, and pwn the place. Now…it took me over 10 tries to beat the Champion. I had to resort to the tactic of throwing Toxic on his Dragon and then just using a hyper potion on myself each turn until it died of poison. But, good news, finally beat the Champion. And yes, this is why my earlier blog on the Poke-MMO has not been updated. 
For those who care. My team is made up of just pokemon I like, and I don’t care much for “teh OwNaGe!” Only one in there that I don’t like, is Lumineon….Ok, actually, I love that pokemon, but it’s weak as hell, and I only used it to get beat on while I revived other pokemon >.> I’m EV training a Krabby (my all time favorite pokemon is the Krabby family) to take it’s place after I get my National Dex in a little bit. Infernape: It was my starter, and I don’t like any of the Sinnoh Fire types. Plus, he can learn Grass Knot, which I used A LOT during the Elite 4 battles.Torterra: I got it from my friend. I like the fact that it has high attack rather than special attack, since I already had special ability sweepers.Drifblim: Not the best move set right now, but still a pokemon I like.Hippowdon: I love it’s pre-evolution so much! But this guy rocks too. I used him and Torterra more than any other during these battles. He alone took out all except Roserade and Milotic with the Champion’s Pokemon. He’s my Earthquake+Sand Stream+Toxic sweeper Girafarig: I just plain like this guy. Right now, I’m looking for something to replace his Zen Headbutt with, since he also has Psychic, but it’s fine for now.Lumineon: I was going to use her to Ice Beam the fuck out of the Dragon types….but her attack/Sp.attack is super low, and her only good stats are Sp.Defense and Speed. So she died fast. Replacing with Krabby 
I’m currently EV training a Gible, but I was thinking, and I don’t like it’s last evolution, Garchomp. Because of that, I’m stopping leveling him. I don’t know what I want to level up for online battles. Will have to think about it. Like I said, I base my pokemon choice off which I like most, not the “uber” ones. I usually make them good by EV training. I don’t intend on doing hardcore battles, so I don’t care if your EV trained Rhydon or Charizard can beat me, it’s all for fun my friends. Geek Meister – Out. PS: I got a chance that most probably haven’t had. One of the Elite 4’s pokemon was a shiny! Hahahaha! My first shiny I see, and it’s on a trainer. Anyone know if this is for everyone, or just me? (Notice how it’s black and not brown). It’s a badass looking Hippowdon imho. 
Pokemon MMORPG (In progress)
Yeah, you read right my friends.Pokemon MMORPG! Ok fine, it’s actually my commentary on if there was to be one. Damn I hope that day will come. First, I’ve been a Pokemon fan since 6th grade. I’m now going to be 20 in 2 months. I was 11-12 then. Good times indeed. Now, my fan-boi status of Pokemon has never wavered. I’m not the cliche’ super-nerd, as I do not look the part, but hell, I am the part. Now, my dream of a Pokemon MMORPG started when I first saw some friends playing Everquest. I never played it, but I saw the potential. I later got WoW and FFXI, and my addiction of MMOs started. Ok, this started from a comment I was making on a blog made by my friend Phenomena on Break, here on WordPress (check him out). It had to do with Super Smash Bros Brawl, and the inclusion of the pokemon, Lucario. Here’s what I wrote: ”Still waiting for a Pokemon MMORPG….Imagine it, walking around from town to town catching pokemon by seeing them in the field. To level, you have to actually fight others, like in the original games. It would have such awesome PVP. Imagine a FFA Pokemon battle. Or team stuff. Capture the flag, king of the hill, etc. Awesome stuff. Raids would be against things like Zapdos, Mewtwo, and Jigglypuff. Yes. Jigglypuff. But really, it’d have endless possibilities…..ok I’m turning this into a blog. ” Yeah, my gears started a’turning. Ok, well let’s start from the top. The basis of the game.
World
The world would be made up of every world from the games (and show most likely, since it’s popular still I guess, never was the biggest fan of it past season one). Kanto (Red, Blue, and Yellow), Sevii Islands (Fire Red, and Leaf Green), Johto (Gold, Silver, and Crystal), Hoenn (Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald), Orange Islands (from the show) and maybe some of the other places like Battle Frontier. You could choose start in a certain zone. Like, the starter zones could be Kanto and Johto.
Kanto and Johto are connected, with the Elite Four in the center, so it would not be too difficult to make those starting zones. Like have the levels there range from 1-50. Each side has 8 badges each, so it would be simple.
After that, you could take a boat to the next area, Hoenn, which would be for levels 45-75 (think how zone levels work in WoW. They are recommended, not enforced). Here you would get another of the 8 badges, and move on to the elite 4 in this area. After this, you would move onto the next place, which would probably be either Sevii Islands, or Orange Islands.
Sevii could be 60-85, and Orange could be 70-100. Sevii could be for those who want a change in leveling from Hoenn. Orange would be the next step past those two zone, though you could always stay in Sevii for around 10 more levels before heading to Orange. Or just switch around back and forth. 100 would be the initial level cap for each pokemon and yourself, so any regions past Orange would likely be in an Expansion pack or patch.
If you’ve played the games, than you know each region has it’s own areas. Each town has buffers around it that have wild pokemon and other trainers. These places would be straight from the games. Though, it would likely be best to add some areas to the map. Like in between Pallet Town and Viridian City in Kanto, there is a very very small area in-between the two towns. In the MMO, they should increase each zone terrifically.
Think about WoW. Each zone in that game is pretty decent sized. Some zones in this game should be that size. Viridian Forest could be a good sized forest, with trees and bushes that have little space between them. Each route would be renamed, and made bigger and more complex, but keeping with the general theme of the area. The general theme of the regions would be changed slightly in general from the games though. Small jungle areas, more desert, some marsh areas, and the such. They are there now, but in a very small number.
Gameplay
Gameplay would be based around a leveling system for both the pokemon and the trainer. Each cap would be 100 at first. Getting to 100 would take around the same time as it takes to get there in World of Warcraft for 70 (before the new patch). So roughly a year or so for a casual player. Each trainer starts at level one, and gets a starter pokemon based on where they start. If they start in Kanto, it would be between Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle. If starting in Johto, than it would be between Chikorita, Totodile, or Cyndaquil. Each of these can evolve 2 times, meaning there are three forms to them. Once evolved, there is no going back to an original form. Each is a different element (I’ll go into that later), so they are balanced like rock, paper, scissors. That way, not one is stronger than both, it’ll be better than one, but checked by the other.
To level, you gain experience. To gain experience for your pokemon, you can do several things. One would be questing, another would be fighting other pokemon, another is training (I’ll go into that), and the last would be rare candies (this automatically levels your pokemon, but they don’t receive as big of a stat boost as normal leveling (instead of maybe getting all +2-3 stats up, you only get +1 of each).
To gain experience for your trainer (you), you do similar things. You can train (different than for your pokemon), fight with other trainers, fight against wild pokemon, or do questing.
When your pokemon level, they gain stat boosts depending on the types of pokemon they fought, and how often they were able to rest (will also go into that). Your pokemon will also gain new skills. Now each skill is part of a tier, and can be upgraded. Like for an electric pokemon, it may have “Shock” as a skill. It may gain that skill at level 14, but then it may be able to get it upgraded at level 34 to a version that is a little stronger. Your pokemon also gain other things as you level. They are only able to have 4 skills at any one time, but when you first start, you only have two.
- When you hit level 5 (which happens fairly quickly, probably a few hours), you gain a third skill slot.
- You would gain your fourth one at level 20.
- At level 25, they gain the ability to equip a type of armor.
- At level 30, your pokemon will gain the ability to hold an item (like a berry to heal itself, or a status affliction).
- At level 35, your pokemon would gain the ability to hold an attack aid depending on the type of pokemon. A Hitmonlee would gain some sort of kicking aid. A Kadabra would gain a spoon to increase psychic attacks. I’ll go into this much further later.
- At level 40-50 (depending on the pokemon evolution level. Basic pokemon that have not evolved get it around 40, second evolutions get it around 45, and third evolutions get it at 50), they will gain a passive skill slot. A passive skill is something you can’t choose to use in battle, instead it will just always be affection your pokemon. Each pokemon has two to choose from. They can be things like faster attacks, immunity to a certain status affliction (like sleep or stun), or maybe a skill that gives +10~ health to all pokemon in the party.
- At level 45, your pokemon can now breed.
- At level 60, your pokemon now gives off an aura that gives a small stat boost to the other pokemon in the party based on your pokemon’s highest stat. So a level 60 Sandslash, who’s highest stat may be attack, would give a +1-3 boost to all pokemon in your parties’ attack as long as they are part of the party. If that pokemon is knocked out, the other pokemon loss that buff.
- At level 70, your pokemon can use another aid for battle. If it would be a defense aid or attack aid, depends on the pokemon. If the pokemon has high defense, they’d gain the ability to wear more armor. Opposite if they are based in attack.
- At level 80, your pokemon will grant the trainer a boost in running speed slightly (10%~) as long as they are the main pokemon in the party.
- At 90, the pokemon will grant the trainer a buff based on what pokemon they are. Most pokemon will give a different buff. A pokemon like Rapidash may give the trainer an additional 5% run speed. Others may decrease his attack choosing time (will go into that). Another may increase the trainers attack choice range (if the pokemon goes too far from him, he can’t tell them their attacks as quickly).
- At level 100, your pokemon will gain a cosmetic change. This change can be a purple aura for psychic pokemon, some electricity around them for electric, steam and bits of flame coming of them for fire, ground cracking beneath for ground types, poisonous clouds for poison types, or maybe flowers and grass sprouting around the feet of grass types. Each of these auras will give your pokemon a boost for their element. Fire types may gain extra fire damage to their physical attacks (or more fire damage if that’s already their passive). Water types may get a speed boost to their water based attacks. Electric could gain an electric shield that hurts attackers slightly. Rock types may gain extra defense. Poison types may gain a chance to give a status effect with attacks (weaker than a regular one). Grass types may slow their opponents running speed. Flying types could have a speed boost, including a boost to speed based attacks (like Quick Attack). The list goes on. These auras would only affect that pokemon.
- At level 1, they would have two ways to command their pokemon, attack (the pokemon will attack normally) and defend (the pokemon will defend themselves instead of attacking. This lessens damage done, but doesn’t negate it totally). The pokemon would choose it’s own attacks to use, since you are not skilled enough to control their actions. You can equip a chest item, pants, and shoes (equipped items increase your stats). You can hold no more than 3 pokemon at any one time with you. You have space in “pokemon storage” for 3 pokemon as well (for a total of 6 able to own). Your pokemon stay in their balls when not fighting.
- At level 5, you gain the ability to choose their attacks, but their movements are still up to them. Also, your pokemon may not listen to what you say, when you do chose their attacks.
- At level 10, your pokemon will now listen to you when you give them commands to attack completely, as long as they are not 5 levels higher or more (at level 10, a pokemon level 15+ will listen you only 25% of the time.) A pokemon that is more than 15 levels higher will not listen at all, and will simply refuse to fight. Your storage is increased to 6. You can tell your pokemon now to return to you in battle. When you return a pokemon to you, a cooldown for sending out another is started for 1 minute. This tactic is used solely for running from a wild pokemon. In trainer battles, you can return them however many times you want. Only limit is 45 seconds between switches, and 2 minutes for pokemon recently switched out (unless they are your last pokemon to send, then they automatically go out, but are slightly weakened. Will go into it more).
- At level 15, you can now trade for pokemon that are 5 levels below your trainer level or lower (at 15, that’d be any pokemon level 10 or lower), and only to trainers within 10 levels of you. You can trade your own pokemon, regardless of their level, as long as the other trainer is high enough to take it. From now on, your main pokemon will travel with you outside the pokeball if you choose to do so, even outside of battles and in cities.
- At level 20, you can now equip gloves. Also, you can now begin training your pokemon (will explain later). At this level, you can now have 4 pokemon with you at one time, and your storage is increased to 9. You are able to choose a type at this point, and start your quests for that type.
- At level 25, you can now tell your pokemon to run. This is different than returning to you. They instead will run from the opponent, but stay in battle. This allows them to bide their time, or charge for an attack easier. Your storage is now 12.
- At level 30, you can equip a hat, and you also give off an aura to pokemon below level 15 to get a +5% xp gain. You can now carry 5 pokemon, and your storage is 15.
- At level 35, you gain a quest for a new pokedex. The original pokedex would tell you the name, sex, level, elemental type, and trainer of pokemon you faced. It would also tell you the name, level, and team (a guild) of another trainer. The new pokedex you can gain with the completion of the new quest will now tell you the profession of the trainer (will go into this later). It will also tell you the two lowest attacks an enemy pokemon currently has (so if it has Shock lv 14, Punch level 1, Tackle level 5, and Quick Attack level 16, you’d see the Punch and Tackle attacks). The new pokedex will also now show a 2d picture of the pokemon or trainer targeted. You can also now tell your pokemon to dodge. This is like defend, but will negate all damage done (since they won’t be hit), but has a chance to fail, unlike defend. You can also now use a small aid in your hand (this is something you hold that gives you a bonus to stats like armor does).
- At level 40, you gain the ability to tell your pokemon to berserk. This will lower your pokemon’s defense, but raise it’s attack/special attack. You can now wear 1 ring. You can carry the max of 6 pokemon for battle now. Also, your storage goes up to 18. You now give off an aura that will give all pokemon below 20 a +5% xp buff, and all under 10, a +10% xp buff.
- At level 45, you can now breed pokemon. This will allow you to make new baby pokemon, or another pokemon from that species that starts at level 1, but with some extra skills from both the parent pokemon. Will go into breeding more in the profession section later.
- At level 50, you can tell your pokemon to taunt or cower, depending on the type of pokemon. Taunting has a chance to send the enemy pokemon into a berserk, increasing their attack, but lowering their defenses. Cowering has a chance to lower the opponents attacks, but increase their defense. Both have a cooldown of 3 minutes. Your storage is now 21. You can also wear a second ring. You can now gain a quest for a new pokedex again, as long as you’ve finished the first pokedex quest. This new pokedex will show 3d pictures of the trainer and pokemon, will now show all four skills of the pokemon but not the passive skills, or the skill levels. The pokedex will also tell you what your pokemon’s disposition towards you is (how much it likes you). Also, it will display your pokemon’s medals, ribbons, and what levels they recieved them and where. That, along with other pokemon’s and trainer’s medals and ribbons.
- At level 55, you can now wear a necklace (this includes scarfs, bandannas, ties, and such). Your run speed is increased 3%.
- At level 60, you gain a special quest for training your pokemon to use a special attack. This pokemon must be over 55, and only one is allowed in your party at a time. This attack is very powerful, and has a cooldown of 1 hour. It can range from getting +100% defense for 30 seconds, to +50% attack for 30 seconds, to increasing attack speed by 15% for 30 seconds, to even a healing skill. They can also be attacks that do great damage to the opponent, or cause them a bad debuff (like stopping their movement for 10 seconds, to a random status effect with 100% chance to hit). It differs between pokemon, each family has a different skill. Your storage is now 25.
- At level 65, you can now get a quest for the ability to use certain flying pokemon to use Fly. Fly will take you back to any town you’ve been to before in a current region (as long as you’ve visited the roost in that town. A roost is a place near the inns and hotels.) To visit the roost, you must do a separate quest for each one to be able to Fly there. In lower level towns (like Pallet town), the quest can be relatively simple. In higher level towns, like Cinnabar Island, the quest will be harder, and take more time. You can only accept these roost quests at 65. Cooldown of 1 hour. You also gain an aura. This aura will depend on your type choice (will go into this in more detail in the professions section). It will give all your pokemon or yourself a buff that last 5-10 minutes. This skill has a cooldown of 30 minutes. Your storage is now 30
- At level 70, you can now equip arm bands and leg bands. Your storage will now be 35. All pokemon you have below level 30 gain a +5% boost, while all below level 15 get a +10% boost. Your run speed has increased +2% (combined with the previous +3%, it’s now +5%). The run speed of all your pokemon is now +5% higher while in the party with you. You now gain a quest for a new pokedex, as long as you finished both the other pokedex quests. This new pokedex will show you what levels a pokemon will evolve (but not tell you anything about special evolutions, like stones, certain times they evolve, like night, and won’t show what it will evolve to with disposition). This new pokedex comes with an interactive map that shows you where you’ve caught certain pokemon, when, and at what level. You can trade with anyone, for any level now. Your own pokemon that are higher in level to you only disobey 5% of the time now. Any traded pokemon over your own level will have a 25% of disobeying your commands.
- At level 75, you gain a more powerful aura, that does an additional effect depending on your type. You can now use a large aid (bigger and more appealing cosmetically than a small aid). These large aids will both buff you can your pokemon based on their type. Large aids will only affect a certain elemental type for your pokemon, like water or fire. Gives better buffs to trainer than small aids. Your storage is now 45. You can now carry a “companion” pokemon. This companion pokemon can not battle. Even if all 6 of your pokemon faint/KO, this companion pokemon cannot battle. Companion pokemon have a passive skill that will be given to you. This can be run speed, faster commands, lower cooldowns, a buff to your own auras, longer range, etc. This pokemon will travel outside of a pokeball with you much like your lead pokemon.
- At level 80, your storage is increased to 60. You can now equip a back item (capes, special backpacks, etc). You now gain the ability to start a quest for a second special attack for a pokemon. This pokemon must have completed the first special skill quest. Again, only one pokemon can have one in a party, yet, if you have another pokemon with the first special skill, you can use both. Yet, they have to be different. One pokemon can’t have both the first and second skills used at the same time. 1 hour cooldown again. This skill is like the first, but more a little more powerful, but not by much. The main perk to this second special skill, is that you can use it in conjunction with the first special skill.
- At level 85, you can now have a storage of 75. You can now tell your pokemon to show no mercy, which will increase attack power for your pokemon when a status effect in on the opponent. You can also tell your pokemon to mock the opponent. This will cause any opponent with a status effect to have lower attack power. Each has a cooldown of 2 minutes, and each lasts 45 seconds.
- At level 90, you gain a total storage of 95 pokemon. You now give off an aura that gives all pokemon under the level of 45 a +5% boost to xp, all under 30 a +10% boost, all under 20 a +15% boost to xp. And all under 10 a +20% boost to xp. You can now get a quest for a cosmetic change. This change will give you one of several things, depending on which quest branch to take. This change is purely cosmetic. One is hair, and it will give you a choice between many new different hair styles (15-20). The other is a change in skin. This will give you the ability to have tattoos or symbols on your body and face to a limited degree. The other would be body. You can make yourself much taller, fatter, more built (muscles), skinnier, or much shorter. These would all give you a unique appearance to other players.
- At level 95, you now have a total storage of 120 pokemon. You give off an aura to all your pokemon boosting their main stat by +3%. This is passive and always in effect to pokemon in your party. You gain your final pokedex quest. This new pokedex will show all evolution hows and whens, where to find any pokemon you’ve seen before (not just caught), will keep a log of how many pokemon you’ve bred, will show how long until an egg will hatch more precisely, and will give you a special title.
- At level 100, you gain an aura that is visible around you. This aura will effect the current pokemon that’s out depending on your type. This is a great aura, and each elemental type will give you a different look. Water may give you a few patches of scales and puddles beneath your feet, electric may have sparks and bolts shoot off you at random times, fire may make you steam and give your skin a red tone, poison may put a mist around you, ghost may make you very slightly transparent, along with a “dead” look (rings under eyes, paler skin, etc), flying would make you hover an inch or two off the ground and have wisps of wind around you, rock could give your skin a rough look, ground may give you a dirty look and have the ground crack beneath your feet a little, etc.
Feel better.
I was feeling all depressed earlier because I was realizing how alone I felt.
Ok, it all started with me moving up to Redding. I did it to get a better job while in college. I knew that if I stayed in my hometown, I couldn’t make enough to save money for a place of my own, or enough to get my license back (~800$). So, I moved in with my dad. I wanted to be able to support my girl when she came back to this area in June, and I could only do so with money. Well, when I did this, I left ALL my friends behind in Red Bluff. I know nobody but my dad and cousin here in Redding. I’m not friends with my cousin really, we just don’t dislike each other, she’s very “preppy and jesus-y.”
After feeling like that, my friend Kevin calls me up from Red Bluff and is like, ”Heeey Gary (that’s how he talks), I got a party I’m going to later, you should totally come. I’ve got booze and a gay midget.”
First of all, he does have a gay midget. I’ve haven’t met him yet, but I’ve seen pics. Yea, he’s flaming, it’s so awesome.Ok, I have no gas money at all, because I need 55$ for my phone bill next month, plus gas money to school and work (eventually) and back. I have 95$~ in my account. Redding is a 30 minute drive from Red Bluff. I drive a truck. You do the math.
I get all depressed again, but during the conversation with him (lasting about 10 minutes), my friend Tanya texts me asking what’s up and such. After the call with Kevin, I call my girlfriend back and talk to her for like ~3 hours. After that, I remember the text and reply. About 20-30 minutes later, Tanya calls (by the way, Tanya is my girlfriend Elie’s sister and one of my best friends). She tells me about some stuff that happened and we talk about it. Then after that, we talk for like an hour and a half. It was awesome talking to a friend on the phone for longer than 10 minutes again.
I haven’t been able to do that in years. Usually, we’d just talk about where we’d meet, then go there and hang. But we got to talk for a while about just different shit. It was cool. When Elie and I get married, I’ll be really happy to have such a cool friend as a sister-in-law. Plus, I think her boyfriend is a really cool guy too. Quiet like me, but can be really fun, most definitely one of the nicest people I have ever met too.
And that is my night. Now I’m going to play a bit of WoW or Oblivion. Haven’t decided yet.
So, I fixed the house’s wireless
Therefore, I am back. I tend to take a lot of unintended breaks. Don’t I?
9/11 has become another tool for American Facists
This morning, I woke up and saw flags everywhere around town and was like, “Is it white pride day?” My friend then said, “Oh shush, you know it’s for 9/11.” I really had forgotten. My response: “You didn’t answer my question.”
I believe that we should respect the men, woman, and children who died in the accident, but our country, of course, has to be the piece of shit, corrupt democracy it is. Trying to take the people’s grief and use it to their advantage.
“Turn your grief into patriotism,” they say, “Don’t cry, be proud, they died Americans!”
I don’t think the last thing these poor people were thinking was, “At least I’m dying in America for things the corporate fuck-faces did!” They died without reason, and that’s horrible.
America fucking sucks. It doesn’t care about it’s people, it cares about it’s money. Love the land you live in, not the government in it!
Why be proud of America on this day? Your government did nothing to help these people, in fact, it indirectly caused it. Not only that, but the next day, Bush and his cronies used it to rise up support to attack Baghdad.
The people who did this were evil, evil people, but, the people who got these evil people mad are just as bad because they are doing it for money, personal gain, power, and wealth.
I 100% agree with a friend’s quote of, “The September 11th terrorist attacks have become just another tool for our goverment to profit off of war and racist tatics.” So everyone rise up and show real support for those who died and do something against the government that caused it so it’ll never happen again. Please. I don’t want anymore innocent people dying.
I’m against Circumcision
I don’t have the time to write this fully out, but oh….oh it’ll be here soon.
I’ll write a few points out that’ll be in this essay I’m writing for this.
•Circumcision eliminates a large percentage of the sensitivity of the penis (Hey guys that are circumcised, we natural guys feel more during sex).
•Erectile Dysfunction is so so so much higher in circumcised men, that research actually shows it causes it in many cases!
•The female will actually have more pleasure with a natural penis.
•Less discomfort from friction during sex.
Some links to different sites talking a bit about it. (The video is just funny).

Reason for not being here.
I’ve been writing quite extensively for the zine, “Nor-Cal Anarchy” recently. I’ve been getting and doing interviews with many different punk bands, done a few DIY articles, a few vegetarian recipes, and editorials. Basically, this means I had to give up on Harbinger.
I just simply had nobody else. I started with about 12 people, and I got down to 3. Did I give up that fast? No, I’ve been trying to get it back up for a few months now really, but with no luck.
I also discovered recently that there is a very popular anarcho-punk zine out there named, “Harbinger,” and they’ve been around longer and send out around 50k issues per. I’d have to change the name…..
Anyways, just an explanation.
It’s a shit thing.
I had the flu the past two days, and last night I went to my mum’s house since I needed some motherly love to heal my flu. She made me noodle soup, got 7up, let me pick the tv stuff, got me blankets. You know, stuff a parent should.
Before I went there though, I called my dad. Our relationship has been shitty the past few months because I’m such a failure at life and all, but I don’t generally hold grudges, so I was calling again hoping for a change from him, and at first it was ok. I made a few jokes about me vomiting and having to think to myself, “I need to chew my food better.” Things were going smooth.
Suddenly he just says, “So, are you in debt yet?”
Yeah, real subtle pappy.
We get into a huge thing. He calls me names, I explain to him how he’s being a total hypocrite. He calls me more names (people who are bad at arguing tend to just call names), and I tell him I’m tired of it, and I hang up.
So, I’m in a pissy mood, so I immediately call mommy for some cheering up. She acts like a good parent, and then she comes over and brings me to her house to help me out. I end up staying up all night alone in the living room after she goes to sleep around 1am, because I had pretty much slept the past 24 hours.
Around 11am, my dad shows up at my house to drop off my sister (who was at his house). He lives in Redding. Well, he waltzes over and has the nerve to ask, “Are you still mad at me.”
Since I’m snarky, I say, “What the fuck do you think?” Then quit talking to him. He starts demeaning me again, and telling me how I’m failing. I start out talking calmly, and saying I don’t want to hear anything he’s saying anymore (I was tired of smiling and nodding at his “reasoning”), yet he just builds up more and more. Eventually, it builds up to me and him yelling at each other, with my little mother sitting in a chair to the side saying, “You two should calm down and talk it out.”
I tell my mum I’m leaving, and she needs to take me home or give me the keys. My dad yells, “You show me respect!” So I give out the old-fashioned, “Not until you show me some respect first!” Creative, huh?
I tell my mum that if she doesn’t take me now, that I’m taking my truck and leaving (I don’t have my license anymore, so I’m letting my mum borrow my truck until I get it back). He is pissed, so he’s even dumber than usual, he yells, “That’s MY truck not YOUR truck! You’re not leaving!”
Ok, I got the truck from him when I was 16, and the truck has been in my name solely since then. Not his. Mine. The insurance is in my name. He hasn’t paid a cent into gas in these 3-4 years. He hasn’t driven it once. I don’t know where that thought of it being his came into his head.
SOoooo, anyways. My mother finally grabbed the keys and drove me home.
I got here, erased him from my myspace (DAMN! That’s some hardcore stuff), and came over to write this bulletin. I’m pretty sure I’m done with him. I’m going to cash out my last savings bond and pay my phone bill, and put it in my name (it’s in his name, but I pay it….don’t ask). After that, I’ll need to get my hi-hats for my drums from his place and I’ll be done with him.
Fuck it.
Estrangement is a shit thing, ain’t it?
