I love blue jays with all of my heart. People constantly say things about them that aren’t true and are very misleading, and I just want to say that that’s very wrong. I’ve lived with them all my life but have come to appreciate them a lot more recently after learning more about them, and I’ve also recently learned about how badly people have treated them and continue to treat them and have been very upset by that.

I’m crazy about ermines, long-tailed weasels, and least weasels. The algorithm is showing me so many photos and videos of them in their winter coats flying through the snow, and I’m very happy about it.

I have a headache because I was just unfortunate enough to witness someone who gets paid to play Pokémon pitting an Absol against a Scraggy and using Bite on it instead of Slash MULTIPLE TIMES.

I guess every time there’s going to be one Gimmighoul I can’t find.

So I guess I’m just living with some creepy glowing eyes in the forest staring at me every night now. Not even joking. They look like stars in the forest, but two of them right next to each other so they look like some monster’s eyes. My father thought they were some animal’s eyes even though I told him that they haven’t moved at all (but can only be seen when it’s dark out). No idea what it is that’s giving off light or reflecting it.

This last egg I needed for the research took so long to find. And I feel like it’s taking as long as possible to hatch, too.

I’m really tired of being told that I don’t speak my language properly because I’m part of a diaspora population when the people saying that in fact speak in a way that’s much further away from the original pronunciation than my speech is. Sometimes people who moved away from their motherland maintained traditions better than those who stayed behind. Maybe because being in a strange place and feeling homesick made them hold on to what they knew more tightly. I don’t see why that’s so hard for people to understand. The fact that a language was named for a certain place over a thousand years ago does NOT mean that the people currently inhabiting that place speak the language any better than anyone else.

I think I can pretend to like warm weather until May is over, but then I’ll really need to skip over June, July, and August and get ready to enjoy spooky season.

When is the Cornlet line finally going to be added to the Pokédex?

23rd attempt failed, too. I’m done. Spending a bunch of money on the fair games that never work correctly but are differing degrees of broken each time they’re played, and having to check in constantly to see when they’re recharged and keep trying over and over again but getting absolutely nothing in return, definitely makes the fun fair my least favorite event.

I’ve gotten 22 of the fun fair Pokémon that are supposed to have a 5% shiny chance, but no shiny.

I’ve been cursed by Brock. The last three Pokémon I’ve hatched have been an Onix, a Geodude, and another Onix.

Just had a fun time soloing the Fighting-type Gym Leader in the monotype Dark Nuzlocke with Sableye, lol. Only one of Korrina’s three Pokémon (her Machoke) had a move that could hit Sableye (Rock Tomb), but she opened with Mienfoo and tried using Fake Out twice before accepting it wouldn’t work and switching to the Machoke, while I was setting Sableye up with X Attacks just because I could... Took no damage, of course.

Well, my chain’s gonna break. Failed to get the shiny Sandygast. I guess maybe I’ll try again in two months.

My day got derailed SO badly. I had to deal with the absolute worst kind of person in existence, which isn’t something I’ve had to do in quite a while, and this person wasn’t even allowed to be in the place we were in, but they were there anyway. And, because of that, I ended up losing time and having to rush a lot of stuff. Yesterday and today have been awful.

Now my health issues are flaring up. My left ear is messed up and I can’t take it.

I don’t even understand how someone like my mother could have heart problems. She wasn’t born with any issues, and she’s not old, and she’s been into “health food” and exercising for as long as I can remember. And she doesn’t get stressed out and angry about things happening in the world like I do, either. Really would’ve thought it would’ve happened to someone like my father with his unhealthy habits or me with all the stress I’m under instead.

The Whack-a-Diglett game is malfunctioning worse than before. So many times it just had one thing that popped up spontaneously morph into another. A shiny Sproutlett morphed into an Orthworm *after* I’d already tapped it and it gave me a -10 instead of the +10 I should’ve gotten.

I already don’t play the Wingull Gulf game except when it’s free because of the fact that it never registers me tapping on any of the Pokémon except the slowest ones. Really hope Whack-a-Diglett isn’t going down the drain too.

I really, really don’t know how to feel about the possibility of my mother dying. For all I know it might’ve already happened. That must be a possibility with any heart procedure, right?

Apparently my mother is at the hospital having some kind of heart procedure. A while back, I “cut her off” in the sense that I stopped sending her cute animal posts and stuff and stopped talking with her about things that didn’t seem necessary, and started sending things I found that I thought were interesting to my father instead, because she said (a mild form of) *the one thing* she knew very well she could never say to me (on top of a ton of other awful things she’s said to me). But my father decided to tell me about this after he said something infuriating to me and I got upset with him, and I don’t know how to feel or what to do.

Both of my parents had/have a habit of telling me about health issues that they or their parents are having as soon as I get upset with them about something, to get me to shut up. And I have no idea if they’re lies or not. I don’t trust them, but I rely on them to survive, so it’s a pretty awful situation to be in. ...
