The General Thread

I know I sound like Pixyteri, but damn, Forever 21's plus size dresses are way too short. They don't want our butts covered.
 
This is gonna sound kinda dumb and autistic, but this video, with the "Golden Ritounelle" and the adoring music accompanying it, just fill me with emotional nostalgia. Its great being an 80s geek.

Like, :heart-full:

There was a speaker at my school today, and he did a spot-on impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Like, it sounded exactly like him.
Coincidentally, this was also the day that I was wearing my Terminator shirt.

I'm kind of short and their dresses are usually right above the knee and I hate it. Also their skirts always have way too much material and billow out so much. Why do they do that?!

Two Whole Foods stories from today:

This lady came up to me as I was noming on pizza to tell me that she noticed my smile all though the store and she loved it. I was like "whaa?". I'm pretty disgusting looking.

when I was in line, I asked the girl next to me what she was drinking (I thought it was Kombucha or sparkling juice) she showed me and it was ... kraut brine that was flavored to taste like Kimchi. She told me you're supposed to only drink a little at a time, like shots. oh god.
 
Here's an excerpt from a fanfic of mine, I see no real place for fanfics, but I want to share with you my crazy story telling. If you must know what it's a fanfic of, it takes place in the universe of Pokemon, but in a dark and very much adult turn...

Part 1

It was a bright day in the three story house to the side of the corner of the block on Purple Avenue. Purple Avenue was a middle class, suburban neighborhood in Pallet Town. Inside the three story house there lived a boy who had just turned ten years old and was going to become a Pokemon trainer, but with a twist.
His name was John, and his father was a pioneer in the Pokemon Training community. John's father was the inventor of the Random TM. By using a Random TM, you could make any Pokemon do anything for you. That's right, anything. If you want it to transform into a car, it could do it. If you want your Pokemon to create instant cash, a Random TM could do it. The Random TM was so powerful it was a flop, but he was given 50 Random TMs to use in his Pokemon Journey, so he had to use them wisely.
"All right, I'm ready to begin!" said John, who walked out of his house and to Professor Oak's house. When he approached the door, a new trainer walked out, he had a Pikachu with a pair of sunglasses on.
"Hello! I'm Carl!" said the trainer. "I just started my Pokemon Journey and this is my Pikachu, Ace! Say hi Ace!"
"Pika!" said Ace.
"Okay bye!" said Carl, and he walked off. Without saying anything, John went inside.
"Hello Professor Oak, I'm here for a Pokemon." said John to Professor Oak.
"Oh John. Good to see you. Sorry if I look vexxed, but that Carl kid freaking begged me for Pikachu." Went the Professor. "I had a perfectly good Nidoran (M) and an Ekans for him to choose from, but he whined like a baby until I gave him a Pikachu. Anyway."
"Which Pokemon do you have for me?" asked John.
"Ah John, I have a Mankey. Here you go." Professor Oak.
"Thanks Professor Oak. Go Mankey!" John said, unleashing Mankey out. He took out a Random TM, and wrote onto it's label "Punch the Ground." He then broke open the Random TM, and the powder cackled on and around Mankey. "Let's go Mankey!"
"Mmnn-keeee!" said Mankey, following John out of the lab.

John had left Pallet Town but did not walk in the direction of Viridian City. Instead, he and Mankey travelled east, and it turned out the path was very rocky. John started to worry that he was lost.
"Hmmm, looks like now would be a good time to make a new TM." he said.
"Mankey!" said Mankey. John took out a Random TM, wrote onto its label "Call a Helicopter" and broke it onto Mankey.
"Alright Mankey, Call a Helicopter!" John told Mankey.
Mankey puffed in and yelled "MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!"
All of a sudden, from the distance, a helicopter appeared. It was black, and had a red R on its side. It slowly descended toward John and Mankey, until it fully landed, and its propeller slowed. John opened the door. "Huh? How did I get here?" asked the Helicopter Pilot.
"Never mind that now, can you take me to Viridian City?" John asked.
"No, the boss would never allow it!" Said the Pilot, and quickly ascended, John quickly grabbed onto the bottom rails.
"Return Mankey!" John said, recalling Mankey who would have been left behind. "Now, if I could just open that door." Suddenly, the Helicopter was really high up, but John was just casually holding onto the bars. "Maybe I have a crowbar in here..." he said going through his back pack. Just then, a Poke Ball fell out of the back pack and onto the ground. "Oh no! Oh wait, here it is!" he said, finding his crowbar. He pryed the helicopter door open and quickly bashed the helicopter pilot's head with the crowbar. John then took control of the helicopter, and descended it down to the ground, landing. John then took the unconscious body of the helicopter pilot outside of the helicopter for him to live. He found the Poke Ball that had fallen out of the back pack. He picked it up, and it popped open to reveal an energy materialization into a Geodude!
"Geodude!" said Geodude.
"Alright! I got a Geodude!" John said. John then went back into the Helicopter, and ascended and travelled toward Viridian City. At airborne, he would be there in no more than 15 minutes.

John was almost at Viridian City, the small skyline was in view.
"R-242, R-366 do you copy?" said what sounded like a radio broadcast. "Be on the lookout for a Blue or Orange glow believed to be escaped Team Rocket experiments Operation I.S.E. and I.S.A."
"Hmmm..." this news caught John's attention, and he noticed a notepad. He read the notepad which appeared to be a log of some sort. He read what was apparently yesterday's log.

March 20th, 2000

My copilot and I made a remarkable discovery on the look out for the missing specimens, a glow was discovered in the Mountains of Mystery. It was a strange Green glow, but I figure its our best lead yet. We're gonna check it out after his day off tomorrow. Can't wait!


"Then that settle's it, we're gonna go to the Mountains of Mystery!" said John. "Let's go!!!"
"Mankey!" said Mankey.
"Geodude!" said Geodude.

Part 2

John decided to skip going to Viridian City and head straight for the Mountains of Mystery. The Mountains of Mystery were located north of Mt. Moon, a part of the same Mountain Range. Nobody has really bothered to explore the North part of Kanto, so nothing has been charted. About three quarters of the way past the Viridian Forest, the Helicopter started to sputter down. "Oh no, what's happening?" John asked, looking at the helicopter's dashboard. The fuel gage read empty. "Oh shit, I'm going down!" John said.

Jake was driving down the freeway between Pewter and Viridian City over Viridian Forest. In his passenger seats were Ash, his Pikachu, Misty and Brock. "Hey guys, look at that!" said Ash, a helicopter looking like it was about to crash descended by them, and landed in the river.
"Wow, whoever's on board lucky they landed in water." said Jake, and he drove down the lane.

John was in the downed Helicopter caught in the currents of the river, and the Helicopter was sinking. "Oh man, now would be a good time to make a new TM." he said. "Let's go Geodude!" he released Geodude from its Poke Ball. John then took out a Random TM and wrote on its label "Create Scuba Set" and broke it onto Geodude, the powder cackling.
"Geodude!" said Geodude.
"Alright Geodude, Create a Scuba Set!" John commanded. Geodude crossed its arms behind its back, and pulled out a full Scuba Set! "Good work Geodude!" said John, putting the Scuba Set on. "Now return!" he said, recalling Geodude as Rock Pokemon were weak to water.

John broke the helicopter door open and hopped out of the sinking Helicopter and into the rough currents of the river. He quickly dove down and avoided each rock the current brought him to. All of a sudden, a waterfall appeared. "Aw, shit!" John thought to himself. Sure enough, John fell down the waterfall. Fortunately, the water on the bottom had no rocks, and he survived the fall. "Look, there seems to be a cave down there." John pointed out to himself. He swam into the cave, but fool him forgot he didn't have a light. The tunnel was very dark, but a small shimmer was in the distance. John squeezed under the tunnels, it was tough for him, and the rocks were breakable, so he had to be careful. After awhile, he bumped into something squishy and hard. It was a living creature, and it seemed it was turning its body. Its large, dopey eyes opened into Johns.
"Sloooooooooow-poke." said the creature, evidently the Pokemon Slowpoke. John took one look at it, and smashed a Poke Ball onto Slowpoke, transforming the Pokemon into energy which transfered into the Poke Ball. The Poke Ball shook, and John grabbed it to force it to stop. Eventually, the Poke Ball stood still.
"Ok, I'll deal with you later." John said to the Poke Ball. He continued swimming forward, until the water became stinky and sticky. It felt like he was swimming through human fecal matter! He swam threw the shit and eventually arrived in what looked like a sewer. He climbed out of the sewage water next to a ladder going up and disposed of the now covered with feces scuba gear, Geodude could make another anyway.
John climbed up the ladder, lifted up the manhole, and crawled out of the sewers in the now-at Pewter City. He could see the Mountains of Mystery from his POV.

This was the 36th and 37th Chapter, I got up to 108 Chapters before I put it on an indefinite hiatus, since I really want the "Grand Finale" to be more well written. The story is about several (about 7 or so) Pokemon Trainers who leave Pallet Town mostly around the same time, with John being the last to leave. Throughout the story, the Pokemon trainers get involved in some sort of conspiracy, as one of them begins to act strangely, and hiding many Secrets from his contemporaries. Things really began to go to hell for the Pokemon World when that certain trainer disappeared after he destroyed the Rocket Casino in Celadon City (yes, not the "Game Corner"). When Mewtwo invited all the strong Pokemon Trainers to his party (as seen in Pokemon: The First Movie), my hero of the story actually found a way to defeat Mewtwo, but little did anyone realize the main villain of the story was at the party in secret, and it was thanks to Mewtwo's defeat the villain captured the "Strongest Pokemon in existence..."

And yeah, John's Pokemon can do absolutely anything, I'm the writer and I say so (there are certain limits though, and its mostly just for goofs)
 

Forget Hotel Mario. Forget the Zelda Trilogy on CD-i. Here's another CD-i game I encounter.
 
I had this messed up dream that mom and I were at a store like h&m. Mom said she needed coffee, so I showed her where all the coffee samples were. Turns out she was drinking the employees coffee, and this man came up to us and told us that were we banned from the store. I pitched a fit, and I was spayed with water, and had my purse inspected.
 
I really hate daylight savings time, it messes everything up. Especially when I have to go to work early in the morning after the time changes.
 
I went to a portfolio review for a program I want to get into at my old college. I'm pretty sure I got in, but even if I do I can't afford it. So that's depressing as fuck.
 
Here's the next Chapters in the Adventures of John...

John stood before the open manhole, looking up at the Mountains of Mystery, just as we had left him. "Now to figure out how we're going to get up there." John said, for the Random TM's wouldn't be enough, he needed supplies. John explored the streets of Pewter City.

In a rather rundown part of town, John saw what appeared to be a midget in a trenchoat. He approaced the midget and the midget flashed him, opened up his trenchcoat to his naked body. The sight would have disgusted John, had it not been for the fact he was looking at the body of a Charmander. John was witnessing a Charmander Flasher. "What the hell is this?" John asked.
"Charmander!" said the Charmander.
"Why are you doing this? Don't you have a trainer?" John asked.
"Char, Char." Charmander said, shaking its head.
"Wow, for some reason, you've been abandoned, and are now flashing? Are you crazy?" John asked.
"Char, Char!" Charmander strangely said.
"You know what? Me and my Pokemon are going to the Mountains of Mystery to find treasure! Come with us!" John offered to Charmander.
"Charmander!" said Charmander, and it threw off its trenchcoat and went to John's side.
"Okay, for now, I'm going to need you to get inside this Poke Ball." John said, tossing a Poke Ball to Charmander, and officially capturing it.

It was around 4:30 in the afternoon. John was having a snack at a McDonalds and had all four of his Pokemon out.
"Okay guys." John spoke with his Pokemon. "We need to figure out how we're going to get to the Mountains. I'd rather not walk, but I don't want to use a helicopter since it might scare off the rare Green Pokemon."
"Mankey." said Mankey.
"Slowpoke!" said Slowpoke.
"Oh, sorry. Mankey and Geodude, meet Slowpoke and Charmander."
"Slowpoke!" said Slowpoke.
"Charmander!" said Charmander.
"Now, Mankey, I'm sure by now you know that, as my starter Pokemon, you are my sidekick." John said to Mankey.
"Mankey!" said Mankey.
"Geodude, you are going to be the official item creator. If I ever need a new item, I will make a Random TM on you to do it!"
"Geodude!" said Geodude.
"Slowpoke and Charmander, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with you yet. If you have any ideas, let me know and I will consider.
"Slowpoke." said Slowpoke.
"Charmander!" said Charmander.
"Okay guys, lets go!" John said, leading his four Pokemon out of the McDonalds.

All of John's Pokemon except Charmander were in their Poke Balls. He and Charmander were looking up at the Mountains of Mystery. It was a half an hour to sundown, and John felt it was time.
"Okay Charmander, you're going to get me up to the Mountains." John said, taking out a Random TM and writing onto its label "Transform into a Jetpack." John broke the TM on Charmander, and it crackled away.
"Now Charmander, Transform into a Jetpack!" John ordered.
"Charmander!" said Charmander, and it transformed into a Jetpack just as it should!
"Alright! Way to go Charmander!" John said, congratulating the Pokemon. John put on the Char-Jetpack and fluttered up to the Mountains of Mystery, wondering if he could solve the Mystery himself.

"Eeyaa! Eeyaa! Eeeeyya!" said a random creature, as John descended into the Mountains of Mystery. He was not at the summit, but he felt he should explore some. He took off the Char-Jetpack and it transformed not into Charmander, but to Charmeleon!
"Meleon!" said Charmeleon.
"What? Charmeleon? You're evolution was pretty quick!" John said.
"Meleon!" said Charmeleon with a smile.
"Okay, lets explore a bit before it gets too dark." John said, and he and Charmeleon walked into the trails.
The sun was setting on the horizon, it was about 25 minutes before all light was gone. "Charmeleon, I better recall you now!" John said.
"Meleon!" said Charmeleon. John recalled his Charmeleon and continued walking. John was getting a little frightened, he was always used to having electricity, and he didn't have a flashlight. Forgetting he could send Charmeleon back out to use its fire-tail, he instead heard a noise.
"TWANG!" said the noise, and John was quickly flung up and hung upside down, he had stepped on a trap!
"Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!" said a strange few voices. From a shaking bush, three small identical figures emerged carrying spears. They were clearly triplets, and they wore skirts made of grass and had face make-up on.
"Who are you guys?" John asked, and all of a sudden, he felt extremely drowsy, and fell right to sleep.

He heard the crackling of a fire, and he felt really warm. He opened his eyes to find himself tied up and in a cage. His mouth was gagged so he couldn't speak. He was in what looked like a campground, a blazing bonfire lit the dark, moonless night. His four Poke Ball's weren't at his side, instead they were placed on a flat boulder opposite of him.
"OOka chaka, OOka OOka chaka!" said a chanting voice. The three triplets John saw before he fell unconscious appeared. They were lunging up and down as they walked. Suddenly, the sound of a whistle blew through the area.
"Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!" said the Triplets, and they got into position, rolling out a red carpet for their Chief.
"Clefairy... Clefairy..." said voices coming from the distance, and on top a golden throne carried by six Female Clefairy, was a man in a Chieftan Headdress, a bone through his nose, and he had on war paint. The Clefairy's struggled to carry the throne, and eventually placed it down adjacent to the Caged John. Suddenly, the Chief spoke.
"Good morning, Worm your honor!" said the Chief. "The subject of our discussion this night, was caught red-handed tresspassing, tresspassing on our sacred grounds. This will not do." He looked at the Triplets. "Jury what is your verdict?" he asked them.
"Kill, kill, kill!" said each Triplet.
"The Jury has spoke!" the Chief jumped off his throne and approached the cage John was in. "Since, my friend, the jury has decided your fate, I sentance you to death!"
"Mmmfff! Mmmmffff!" John said angrily, really wanting to point out this isn't how a trial is supposed to work. All of a sudden, the sound of a whistle blew.
"Huh? Nuts, you're here right?" said the Chief.
"Yabba, Yebba YAho HEY-ey!" said the Triplets, whom have been identified as the Nuts.
"Yahoe, Yahoe!" said a new voice. From around the corner, a little green bird flew around with its tiny wings, its large, yellow eyes glowing.
"MMmmmff?" said John.
"Yahoe, what business do you have hear?" said the Chief.
"Yahoe!" said the creature identified as Yahoe. Suddenly, from its beak came a key. Yahoe took the key from its beak with a hand coming from its wing, and opened the cage.
"Whaaaat? Do you really think so?" asked the Chief.
"Yahoe!" said Yahoe.
"Well, this changes everything!" said the Chief, and he went in and untied John.
"Ungh! How could you do this to me? Do you have any idea who I am?" John asked.
"You're John aren't you? You were the one Yahoe predicted would come and guide us!"
"Hail, John!" said the Nuts.
"Yahoe!" said Yahoe.
"Huh? Uhhh..." John said.

So... who is the mysterious Chieftan?

Edit: Oh yeah, and the fanfic is crap, but that doesn't matter. I needed to write the story out of my head.
