    Amazing Book Errors

    By Nara,

    Though I guess it's just an error. But it's a hilarious one and I found it while waiting in line at a store.
     
    If it was socially acceptable to lol in public by yourself, I would've. Because how does this even happen?

    More Progress Updates

    By Nara,

    I should probably make a RotR tag. Hm.
    Anyway, more updates.
     
    Hidden for those who want to play blind.
     
     
    If you've got any suggestions, please comment. More likely than not I'll consider and implement it.
     
    Should I make a topic in OTC? I'm not sure if it'd be allowed, actually, but I'm wondering. A topic would be easier to navigate than my blog.

    Scary

    By Nara,

    There's a gun threat at my school.
     
     
    Scared senseless. It's said to happen on Friday. The staff and board know about it. In fact, they announced that there was no evidence of it whatsoever over the intercom.
     
    But I'm scared.
     
    EDIT:
     
    I have decided to stay home.
     
    Even though it's likely that the treat is empty, I'd rather not take a chance. Rumor says two different things, but both are potentially dangerous. One, it has to do with a gang of a kid who got arrested recently for fighting, and two, it has to do with someone who knows how our lockdown drills go.
     
    I'm expecting the building to be stuffed with police, probably 10 officers at minimum.
     
     
    But what pushed me over the edge was a pentagram and upsidedown cross smeared onto a locker. I know that I shouldn't be worried over something like that, but with recent events, it offed me.

    Forestry

    By Nara,

    For Science Olympiad, anyway. I am now in another event, Forestry.
     
    Basically, you go around identifying leaves and answering questions about them.
     
     
    Yes, it's as awful as it sounds. But I've been taking online quizzes and finally got my highest score so far, a 65%! =D
    I will have a partner for the actual event, so hopefully she's got her stuff in order. Because this is one of the more ridiculous events.

    No, not that kind of assistance.
     
     
    Everyone's familiar with Rise of the Rockets, right?
     
    No? It's one of the most, if not the most, successful Pokemon RPGs we've had, but that's not saying a lot.
     
    A few months ago, I proposed to Parugi an idea. I was going to turn this RPG into a game. A Pokemon game. Originally, there were going to be two. RotR: Liberty, and RotR: Rocket. However, due to the amount of sheer content in the RPG itself, I decided to split the games into four.
     
    Two games focusing of Liberty's side, before and after the Manaphy Arc. Two games focusing on Rocket's side.
     
     
    So there I began. I started hacking a Fire Red game as my base. Unfortunately, things kept crashing and not working as intended, and I was waiting on a patch to give access to all 649 Pokemon. However, even now, the patch isn't ready, so production kinda stopped.
     
    But I want to start up again. I have the story map, national dex (edited, will not include all Pokemon), and key trainers all ready done. Now, all I need to do is work my way around the FR Base and edit it to my needing.
     
    I will need to hack the thing a lot. But that's where you come in.
     
    If you know how to sprite, can take music from Sinnoh/Hoenn and play it with a Kanto soundfont, or have any experience hacking a Pokemon game, I'd like to ask for your help.
     
    Not only will the games help summarize and recap the RPG for new and old players alike, I think that it has the potential to be a great game.
     
     
    If you're interested, leave a comment or PM me, please.

    Premier

    By Nara,

    I'm Premier! Feels good to give back.
     
    Still working on the blog, doesn't help that I've changed it every anniversary I've had it.

    SciO State

    By Nara,

    State's tomorrow and I'm extremely underprepared due to various other school work. First time my school's gone to state in four years, and it's the first time we're in the AA division, so if we're in the top two, we go to Nationals. I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but I don' think we'll be going to Nationals. =P But going to State is great. :>
     
    also ARG FOUR+ HOUR LONG SCHOOL BUS RIDE

    SciO Regionals

    By Nara,

    Regionals are tomorrow (aka a few hours), and I'm cramming. =P
     
    Throwing basically everything I can onto our Entomology cheat sheet and then going to learn about steronets and topographic maps and geologic structures.
     
    We have a good chance at going to State this year, having just barely missed it the past two years. Hopefully we go this year. =D

    Band Things

    By Nara,

    As in, concert band. =P
     
    My concert band was invited to play at the Midwest Clinic, an international conference for band/orchestra. A professor from Cornell University will be conducting our rehearsal as an opportunity to show new methods of teaching to band directors and showing off how to use iPads and Google Glass during rehearsals.
     
    She came in during school today to meet us beforehand, and she's hilarious. =P Google Glass doesn't look as silly as I imagined it, it's actually really awesome and I kinda want it now.
     
    Oh, and one of the songs we're playing during the rehearsal is from Frank Ticheli, one of the most well known concert band composers. Plus, one of my favorite composers. Apparently he's supposed to be there and may be watching us play one of his songs. Excited and nervous as the same time. D=D

    It's Strange...

    By Nara,

    How only the smallest connection to the deceased can cause such sadness. Not even part of the family nor the circle of friends, but a member of the circle's family. I didn't even know him personally, nor do I know his name. The same could have most likely been said for him. The overwhelming emotion that hit was unexpected.
     
    I've noticed that the colors of the earth become more diluted with each passing hour, but the snow is more pure than ever.

    Final Fantasy

    By Nara,

    After listening to the ending theme for Final Fantasy VI I wanted to (finally) jump in. I've started Final Fantasy I but don't have much progress; just defeated Garland and obtained the lute.
     
    Playing the remake for GBA. I'm having a great time getting used to the controls and setup for a game released.. 10 years ago, I think? Almost 10 years now.
     
     
    Anyway, this is my party setup:
    Level 4 Theif
    -108 HP/0 MP
    -Rapier
    -Leather Armor
     
    Level 4 Red Mage
    -36 HP/31 MP
    -Rapier
    -Chain mail Armor
    -Thunder
     
    Level 4 White Mage

    -Cure, Dia
     
    Level 4 Black Mage
    -48 HP/50 MP
    -Staff

    I realize that I should probably have a warrior but meh.

    Been a while. Got back into the country about a week ago, still having major jet lag, but it's improving.
     
    So, like everyone else, I caved and bought Animal Crossing: New Leaf. First Animal Crossing game for me, got it about 5 days ago. Tortimer just invited me to his island, I don't know if I'm going slowly or fast. =P My villagers think I'm stalking them, since I just talked to them all day before I could get a fishing rod. =P
    I got Cherries as my native fruit, but also have Apples and Permissions.
     
    Friend Code: 1762-2682-8247
    Shoot me a PM or comment if you want to be friends. c:
     
    Minecraft. 1.6. Having a lot of fun playing around in Vanilla, it's a lot more fun than I remember. FTB-wise, I ventured into the Nether to get Ghast Tears, flew over some Pigmen in an new chunk. They randomly started attacking me, I died, and have no idea where I did at all since the death point seems to have tracked my death to OW coords, not nether. :c So yeah, reduced activity in that server, I'm ready for a reset! xD
    Also got addicted to the Minecrackers, but I think that happens to everyone.
     
    I wish I could go to Brickfair too, but it happens at a horrible time for me. August is band camp month, and my band director will kill me if I miss anything. =P Oh well.

    Little Things

    By Nara,

    You know, it's the little things that you take for granted. Like lights that turn on instantly instead of ten seconds later, or air conditioning that you understand the working of. Or heck, even a fan in the bathroom.
     
    Out of the country right now, wish I had a mouse but I left the USB for it at home. :c Not that the WIFI here is particularly strong enough for a lot of things anyway.

    Unfortunate Event(s)

    By Nara,

    So there's this kid at my school who tweeted, "I think Mrs.------ is single handedly the worst teacher". Probably thought it was funny until he came into class, and the tweet was projected to the front of the room, with the teacher posing in front of it.
     
    Best part? She got a video of his reaction.
     
     
    Sometimes, I really can't stand the English department in my school, but I've gotta say, most of the English teachers are the craziest, fun filled people I've ever met that know how to play up their sarcasm instead of avoiding it.
     
     
     
    In other news, I'm having trouble finding an appetite for anything recently. This happens every once in a while, but I hope it passes over soon. >.<

    Rollerskates

    By Nara,

    So, as a "reward" for basically making it through PE this semester, the week before spring break is going to be spent rollerskating. It sounded great at the time but very quickly I learned that I cannot skate for my life.
     
    Seriously, if I had a pair of skates glued to my feet and I had to flee from a collapsing bridge, I would probably try to get away, fall to the ground, then fall with the bridge.
     
     
    I must've fallen five times or so. Three of those were consecutive, from me trying to get back up.
     
    It's going to be a long week. e.e

    That was a scare.

    By Nara,

    I didn't realize that the blog tab moved over, so when I went to click on blog, I clicked into the tracker instead.
     
    Only saw the two categories, assumed they were blogs, freaked out that somehow all of the blogs were deleted, and then saw Six's avatar on the side and the word blog, so I assumed it was an apology for the server having a hiccup.
     
    But then I found the actual tab.
     
     
    It was like a bad dream, man.

    Well, Look at That

    By Nara,

    We're back on. ^-^
     
    I kinda want to MOC again. Maybe in a while.
     
     
    In Pokemon-related news, Sylveon has been official released. Probably won't be using it in X/Y, but nice to see we have more Eeveelutions. It almost seems like we're getting a lot of names with uncommon letters, but that's really only with Xerneas, Yveltal, and Sylveon.
     
     
    Also, I plan on playing through each generation and remake. Pokemon Blue, Gold, Sapphire, LeafGreen, Pearl, HeartGold, Black, and White 2. Hopefully by the time I finish them all, X and Y will be released. =P

    The school isn't allowing sophomores (me) to pick an AP English class for next year, and basically making all of us go to English 3 Honors next year and one AP English class senior year.
     
     
    nononononononononononono NO. This is not good.

    Assassins and Updates

    By Nara,

    No not assassin's creed.
     
    So, our SciO team wins a spirit award at this one invite every year, and this year, we're winning it by having a game of Assassins. All day, secret alliances, winner gets a bag of skittles.
     
    And I intend to win.
     
     
    Also, that BZP countdown thing is nice. I like it.
     
     
    Also, basically no progress on the RotR game. My chance to go to state for SciO is on the line, so.. yeah. Not to mention that I'm getting this odd glitch that I'm not sure how to fix, but the maps are done. I guess I could give out an awful demo, I'll put in some NPCs if you guys want.

    Name Change and SciO

    By Nara,

    Decided to change my name because I've stuck with my old username for the entire time. I don't think it'll mess with people, since I've had my avatar and sig for a while now.
     
     
    Now, more SciO stuff! Another invite tomorrow, really freaking out about this one but I'm determined to win in Forestry.
     
    Surprisingly, my partner and I won fifth in Fermi last time, not sure how that happened. 10th in Experimental, 8th in Forestry, and 8-13th in MagLev. Ranks will be increasing tomorrow. They better. =D
