Glad to be able to add two new plushies to my collection today. Crazy to think there are still 56 I’m missing.

It’s really sad how snow melts and the vast majority of people only have a limited number of opportunities to see it in-person in their life. After this snow melts, I think I won’t get to touch it again until a whole year has passed.

The snow actually makes it so that I can see well outside in the middle of the night without any light. There aren’t any stars or the moon in the sky, but I can see everything outside when I turn off the lights in the house.

I still don’t know what to do with myself.

Woah! Just got a Spectrier egg from the lab!

Finally reached Trainerlevel 66!

Well, I just found out that the R-slur is apparently allowed on Instagram, and the report function is still broken. You can’t report people for bullying others and calling them mentally deficient just because of their accent/where they’re from. Isn’t that messed up?

I hate everything about being alive and humans and the world.

I think I’ve had the worst possible start of a new year.

Just hurt my thumb trying (and failing) to open these weird DoomBox mousetraps my parents got. I feel stupid and weak, and I’m sick and tired of being woken up by mice pushing things around in the kitchen at night and having to worry that they might come attack me (especially since I have to sleep on the floor) or spread disease or chew through wires and start an electrical fire. I hate rodents.

I feel like I’m actually getting worse at the Concentration Game the more days I play it.

Has anyone else noticed that the Concentration Game is loading slower today? It’s making me afraid the image on the second card won’t load before it gets flipped back over—I’m just getting a flash of it.

I don’t know what to do with myself.

I think my next shiny hunt in Ultra Moon is going to be Oranguru. That’s one shiny I don’t have anywhere.

The Bluetooth speaker that I’ve been using to be able to hear things from my phone since its speakers quit working has now also died :/

Just caught a shiny Zorua in Ultra Moon!

Isn’t it low-key hilarious that Slaking has a BST of 670, just like Groudon and Kyogre? Like, in Ruby and Sapphire, your dad has a Pokémon that’s just as strong as the Pokémon that’s going to destroy the world and could theoretically stop it—but it’s too lazy, lol.

What was the Advent Calendar reward yesterday? I have no idea how, but somehow I forgot to finish the task.

Well, I’m pretty upset with Serebii right now. I normally use Serebii for everything because it’s by far the easiest site to use to quickly find Pokémon info, but they just mislead me into thinking that Grant would open with his Tyrunt (which I planned to use my Diggersby for) because they listed his Tyrunt first despite the fact that he actually opens with Amaura. So, thanks to them, I ended up having to switch into my Meditite (who I planned to use against his Amaura) on the first turn, and my Meditite got hit with a Rock Tomb that weakened it and slowed it down enough to let Amaura go first on the next turn, and it hit my Meditite with a Refrigerated Ice-type Take Down that brought my Meditite down to 1 HP. Thankfully we didn’t lose anyone, but that was crazy close all because of Serebii listing Grant’s Tyrunt first, and I really wish there was some way to tell them to change that mistake on their “Pokémon X & Y - Gym Leaders” page.
