After procrastinating on doing so for slightly over a year, I finally beat Megaman Starforce 2. IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME SON. Now I can move on and play MMSF3, which I picked up at Gamestop the other day. :) I'm sooo looking forward to new Subaru/Luna awesomeness. Since I'm not sleepy at the moment, I think I'll go ahead and start up the game right now. :) So Jen, expect to see my friend code soon~ X3

Anyways, on Tuesday, Pull the Pin's new album released. :D The only way for me to get a physical copy seems to be if I go to HotTopic, because the only other places I found it were on iTunes, which I don't use, and on Amazon, which only has it in mp3 format. We're going shopping tomorrow, so I'm hoping that when we stop by at the mall, they'll have it. Hopefully it won't be too awkward for me in there. I've only been in there once, and it was just for a Fullmetal Alchemist t-shirt that I never actually ended up wearing. XD;

See ya! ;)

So, I had my first college class today, and it was annoying. I can't wait for it to be over already. I have to do a research paper for one of the days, and there's an oral presentation using Powerpoint. I hate Powerpoints with a passion. They're so goddamn BORING. I haven't had to make one since the 8th grade (with the exception of a group project that I had in English this year, but someone else made the Powerpoint, so that doesn't really count). I'll probably do poorly with the presentation since I suck majorly at public speaking by failing to make eye contact and trying to rush through it.

Anyways, once I got home, I hung out with my friend, which was a good way to wind down the day. :) I like it when I can chill out and just not think about school. Yesterday there were a couple times that I actually forgot that I was having my first class today because I was in a good state of relaxation.

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

So, the past few days I've FINALLY been considering going back to playing MMSF2 before MMSF3 comes out at the end of the month, and I realized that today is the 1-year anniversary of the game's US release.

Seriously, what's wrong with me for putting it off for this long? XD; Chances are, I'm going to have to start over from the beginning to get used to the battle system again and to remember what the heck happened up until the point where I stopped playing. If I recall correctly though, I think the game allowed you to have 2 saves stored on it (one for each Tribe-On form), but I could be wrong about that.

( My Graduation )

Anyways, the news about the new Rockman.EXE/Ryuusei no Rockman crossover game was pretty surprising. There's been a lot of speculation and love/hate going around in the fandom since it was announced earlier this week. I think it's good to see everybody being active again, but some of the arguements that some fans are having are pretty pointless. But yeah, for me personally, I'm not really sure what to think about it yet, other than that I'm excited that EXE is getting a comeback even though it was officially finished after Battle Network 6. I'm hoping that this game will be good, but I honestly don't know how it will end up. Please don't butcher this Capcom! It has the potential to be great, but only if done just right!

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

P.S. I'd talk about Michael Jackson's death, but pretty much everybody on the internet has already done that job for me, so yeah... I will say that I was pretty shocked when I heard about it from my brother though.

So, let's see...

-My paternal grandparents are here visiting for a month. They got here last Friday.
-I'm graduating on Tuesday next week. This feels so unreal to me. I feel like I should just be starting high school instead of ending it.
-This past week, I've gone back to my Digimon roots and have been rewatching the Tamers season. I've always loved it so much. ♥
-Pull the Pin released a new song on their Myspace on Monday to tide people over until their new CD is out next month. I like the song a lot. :)
-On Saturday I have a birthday/graduation party to go to for one of my friends. It should be a lot of fun since so many awesome people are going to be there. :)
-That Saturday also happens to be my brother's 22nd birthday that day, but he's away in WV to do an internship and summer classes, so we can't celebrate it with him for the first time ever. :(
-AND it's also the day that my neighbor's niece is getting married. If I hadn't decided not to go, I'd be going with my parents instead of to the other party. But yeah, it's nice to see that they're getting married now after being at the party where her fiancé proposed to her.

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

So, we got our yearbooks at school yesterday, and they are so awesome~ ♥ I've gotten a decent amount of signatures this year, but I still need to get some from a few other people I want to sign it before I'm completely satisfied. Out of all the ones I got so far, probably the most hilarious one to me is the one that my Graphic Design/Digital Art teacher did since he drew a kick ass doodle of me. I want to take a picture of it at some point, so I might post it here later. :)

Anyways, when I was making my note card for my last Physics quiz this morning, I was flipping through the printed powerpoint and noticed something interesting. This section was about magnetism, and the SI Unit for magnetic fields is the Tesla (T), which I already knew since he went over that in class. However, it said that another unit that you can use for magnetic fields is the Gauss (G). Now, if you've played/watched/read Rockman.EXE, those two units should automatically make you think of Gauss Magnets and Tesla Magnets. Pretty cool how this series has real life references, ne? :)

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

I forgot that Burn Notice airs at 9PM nowadays instead of 10PM like it used to. Guess who's going to be downloading or Hulu-ing it tomorrow?

*sigh* Oh well. I guess it doesn't matter much since I've got a 4-hour session tomorrow since it's prom weekend, and I'll need something to do. Guess who's NOT going to their senior prom? :P

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

So, for the first time in forever, I updated my interests on my profile. I cleaned out most of the garbage interests that didn't have anything to do with what I like these days, and I added in some new ones. I don't expect anyone here to care. I just felt like stating it. :P

Anyways, I've rewatched episodes for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya since season 2 started up finally. :D I only rewatched up to the point where the next new episode will air so that I can see all of the episodes in chronological order. But yeah, I'm looking forward to the new episodes. :) Maybe I should go hunt down episodes of The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya in the meantime since I never got to see any of those...

Besides watching TMoHS, I watched all 6 episodes of Parks and Recreation today. I enjoy it a lot, but I know there are so many haters out there just because they think it's too much of a ripoff of The Office, or they just don't find it funny at all. It got renewed for a second season, so I think I'll continue to watch it to see where it goes. :) I like it, and that's all that matters.

And Burn Notice season 3 starts TONIGHT! Wooooo~! \o/

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

So, I guess I should update you guys on how I'm doing, shouldn't I? XD

Let's see... Instead of going to the PA Patent Pending show on the 16th, my friend and I were able to go to an NJ one on the 17th. The NJ date was somewhat last minute since they announced it 3 days or so before it happened. I started writing up a post about it, but I haven't gotten around to finishing it yet. I guess that'll be finished later on in the upcoming week or something. I'm mainly waiting for my shiny new Flickr account to allow me to finish uploading pictures I took since I maxed out my upload limit for May (to 101% no less XD), but I still need to add in a couple other details as well.

Yesterday my friend and I went to a local fair with another friend of ours. (Sadly, this is going to be the last year this fair will be around since the school that runs it is closing down.) The 3 of us chipped in money and bought a crapload of tickets, so we're planning on going back tonight and tomorrow to use them up, and possibly buy bracelets if we do end up using them all. The first night was fun. :D We were able to get on a lot of rides since we had so many tickets. By the end of the night, I felt like I was going to be sick. XD; It's probably because I ate a lot of food at her house for dinner, at the time not knowing that we'd be invited to go to it with the other friend. So yeah... I definitely need to make sure to eat as little as possible before going again. But yeah, the other friend can't go the next 2 nights, so we're thinking of inviting some other people to tag along with us, and also thinking of dragging my friend's sister along since she decided not to go last night.

Now for school stuff I guess. On the 27th, I got my senior medal from the Thespian Society. I also got a certificate that's supposed to list how many stars I earned during my time working the shows. I earned 2 stars (which is 20-30 points), but for some unknown reason, my certificate didn't have any stars on it. O_o My first thought was that it had something to do with the advisor skipping over my name the day before during the practice for the ceremony, so there was no time to get the stickers to put on it. But apparently, snacksonsnacks also got jipped because her's should've had 6 stars (which is over 60 points and equals 1 honor bar), so we don't know what happened. If the stars didn't have some official Thespian Society thing printed on them, I totally would just buy some gold stars and stick them on there. Heck, I might still do that since I don't plan on telling the advisor about it, and nobody would really be able to tell the difference since the text is so tiny.

And on the 23rd, I will be graduating. We should've graduated a few days earlier, but snow days caused the date to be pushed back. I don't recall having over 4 snowdays this year, and I thought the school built in 4 snowdays into the calendar, so I don't know why it got to be this late. I just hope that it's nice enough to be outdoors, but not ridiculously hot. Last year's graduation was good simply because it was going to rain, so it was cool outside, and once the rain started, it forced them to rush through the ceremony.

And fandomwise, season 3 of Burn Notice is starting up on June 4th apparently. That's ridiculously early for it to be coming back, so I'm hoping it's because USA Network bought more episodes, which would be awesome. :D However, according to the @psychwrites Twitter, season 4 of Psych is coming back on August 7th, which fails. :( The first 3 seasons ALWAYS started at some point in July, so I have no clue why they're starting it so late. This depresses me greatly since I always enjoy being able to watch it throughout the summer months. Looks like the only show filling this hole in my TV schedule will be Burn Notice.

See ya! ;)

I was rewatching the opening clip from episode 5x13 of The Office, and I noticed the way how Dwight was standing was perfect for a crossfandom image. Thus, this picture was born:



See ya! ;)

Pokémon Gold and Silver are now officially getting remakes! IT'S ABOUT DAMN F*CKING TIME! Seriously, this is the best news for me to hear after surviving a hellish week at school.

So this week, I had to write up my stupid English paper. It wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be, but it was incredibly time consuming, which wasn't fun. Then I had 4 quizzes for Hamlet to take: Acts 2 & 3 on Monday and Acts 4 & 5 on Wednesday (but 4 & 5 were take home quizzes since the teacher decided to be nice, so they weren't quite as bad as they would've been). And today I had a difficult Pre-Calc test. But I think he said this is the end of the chapter, so I'm insanely happy about that. I am SO done with trig problems. If the next chapter is another trig filled chapter, I think I just might cry.

Anyways, tomorrow is my mom's surprise birthday party, so my dad took a day off from work to prep for that. Hopefully my mom is unaware of this party, which still seems to be the case. And chances are that she won't find out about it tomorrow since she and I are going to get me registered for my college classes before the party starts. The timing is rather convienient because we have to be there at 10 AM, and we'll be there for approximately 4 hours according to the paper we got in the mail (I have no clue why it should even take that long just to register for stuff). Then depending on traffic, we'll be home around 3 PM, which is the time the party is starting. So hopefully we'll get home closer to 3:00 rather than to 2:30.

Then Sunday is Mother's Day (which my dad and I didn't think about when we decided that we'd have the surprise party on the 9th). And then next Saturday is the Patent Pending show in PA! :D Unfortunately though, Pull the Pin isn't going to be there anymore since now they're going to be on tour with a different band in NC that day. :( Hopefully my friend and I will get to see them again soon. If Patent Pending ends up playing Warped Tour, then we might see them then because we'd be able to see both bands there. And those tickets are only around $20 as opposed to the $50 tickets for Bamboozle, so it would be a MUCH better deal.

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

Just finished watching Pokémon DP 125.

( Minor spoilers, but spoilers nonetheless )

...totally random, but I just realized that I missed The Office AGAIN. *sigh* Looks like it's time for me to find a download for it~

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

Psych now has an iPod Nano. I TOTALLY CALLED THIS MONTHS AGO, but not really because it ended up being an actual iPod rather than an iPhone case. BUT STILL. I'm not sure if these are going to be sold to people though, or if this is just a custom job made specially for the writers.

Anyways, in Physics for the past 2 days, we were learning about waves, and everytime the teacher started talking about EM waves, it made me think of Ryuusei no Rockman. XD Yes, I know I'm retarded. Shush.

I also played some Mario Kart Wii on Monday since it was the 1 year anniversary of the game's release. I hadn't played it in months, so it was fun running through the courses again and seeing how many screw ups I made. XD

Oh, and I forgot to mention in my last post about how I found some volumes of the manga for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I got volume 1, but I haven't read it yet. I flipped through a few pages though, and the art style for Haruhi, Yuki, and Mikuru looks very similar to the animé. But Kyon doesn't always look like his animé counterpart, which is odd. I guess the animators liked the way how some of them looked but decided to change some of the characters when they made it.

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

Sooo, let's see what I've been/will be up to:

-Spring break is over now, sadly. :(
-I'm on one of my Pokémon highs, which is causing me to read lots of fanfic again. Especially Pokéshipping~ ♥
-I visited a college in PA on Sunday. Their Graphic Design program looks amazing, but I don't know if I feel comfortable in the area where it's located.
-In May, my friend and I are going to a Patent Pending/Pull the Pin show in PA. It's going to be fricken awesome!!! :DDD
-My mom's 50th birthday is this Sunday. Yaaay! :)
-My neighbor's sister's 60th birthday party is next Saturday. Yaaay! :)
-My mom's SURPRISE 50th birthday party is the Saturday after the next. Yaaay! :)
-I haven't attempted to start a research paper that was assigned in March, and it's due in less than 3 weeks. Knowing me, I will probably finally start it when it's too late, and I will be screwed.

And I think that about sums things up~

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

I'm all caught up with my shows, which means I have something to look forward to again on Mondays and Thursdays. Yay! :D

( The Office )

( How I Met Your Mother )

( The Big Bang Theory )

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

The itchy throat I had went away, so I'm guessing I'm not sick afterall. Woohoo!

I just finished catching up with 12 episodes of The Office. Tomorrow I shall start to work on catching up with How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory, which have 10 episodes each. I just haven't decided which show that I want to watch first.

Yup. My day was sooo eventful. XP

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

The only bad thing so far is that I think I caught whatever it was that my mom has been sick with for over a week now, so my throat has been itchy since yesterday. But other than that, I'm just dandy. :)

I SO WANT TO ENTER IN THIS COMPETITION EVEN THOUGH I'D PROBABLY FAIL HARDCORE. Everybody who registers gets a legit Shiny Milotic, so for me, that would make it worthwhile to go even if I got knocked out in the first round of the preliminaries. And chances are I would since I fall into the senior division, so all of the people who EV/IV train would pwn my ass unless if I started to do so as well. If I were actually serious about all of this, I have until June 6th to attempt to make a decent team in my Platinum version.

Anyways, snacksonsnacks and I are supposed to have our mega Dead Like Me marathon at some point during break. We just haven't decided on a date yet. And it would most likely have to be a sleepover since the entire series can't be watched in only 24 hours. And I guess I'll try to set up plans with one of my other friends. If her spring break is over though, that probably won't work out since she has important college stuff to attend to.

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

JAMES RODAY AND DULE HILL HAVE TWITTER ACCOUNTS NOW. OMGOMGOMG. (Why can't Tim Omundson or Sage Brocklebank have Twitters too? WHYYYYY!?!)

*cough*

Anyways, I haven't posted in awhile, so I figured I should give you guys an update. :) This past week, I've been at school helping out with the costumes for this year's spring musical, which is Back to the 80's. But a majority of the time, I'm actually just sitting around playing Pokémon Platinum on my DS Lite or Tetris on my cellphone. I only have to help out with a couple of quick changes, and I was assigned to move a desk on/off stage. But because I fail hardcore, I've missed the scene where I'm supposed to move the desk on last night AND tonight. Yesterday it was because I was assigned to put a desk on stage left, so I thought that there would be some desks in the hallway by stage left, but all of the desks were in the hallway by stage right. And tonight, I was just stupid and didn't realize that I missed the scene because I thought there was still another song left before I had to move it. (So yeah, I'm sorry for being such a dumbass, snacksonsnacks. Feel free to pelt me with various objects to your liking. :P) Hopefully I'll get it right the next 3 days.

Other than this, I've just been doing the usual stuff, so there's not really much else for me to say.

See ya! ;)

~Melissa~

EDIT: I forgot to add this in: Sore ankles are NOT swollen feet. One of the cast members overdramatized another cast member's "injury" by saying that his foot was swelling up quickly and needed ice. So I rushed to find the stage crew advisor, and then the cast and costume advisors came running to the dance room to see who needed the ice. According to them, the kid just banged his ankle and it felt a little sore. So basically, all of us got worried over nothing, and it was all a waste of time.

The main reason why I'm steaming about this is because the person who told me this also overdramatized another "injury" during one of the fall dramas. She claimed that her arm was torn up, when in actuality, it was just a little scrape that anybody could've gotten. This girl is so nice, thus why I'm venting about this here rather than to her face. But oh dear GOD. Somebody needs to teach her what qualifies as an injury that needs immediate attention and what doesn't. Seriously.

So far, I'm loving it. :) I think that has partly to do with the fact that I never restarted my Diamond or Pearl cartridges, so it's been SO LONG since I got to start a fresh game in the Sinnoh region. I decided to start off with a Turtwig since I started with Chimchar in Diamond and then Piplup in Pearl.

Other random thoughts:

-The way how you get your starter Pokémon in this game is kinda lame compared to how you get it in D/P. It's too similar to the way how you get your starter in R/B and FR/LG.
-The new sprites look great so far. :)
-I'm SO glad that a back button was added to the Pokétch. Yay for no more scrolling through 20+ applications just to find the one you're looking for!
-I'm happy that I can work on training a Ponyta sooner in this game than I could in D/P. There are hardly any good fire types in this series in general, so it helps to be able to catch one early on.
-Prof. Rowan giving you TM 27 (Return) was an interesting addition. Although I didn't use it on my starter or my other Pokémon, I'm sure some other people did, and being able to teach a Pokémon that move early in the game will be a big benefit to them later on in the game since the attack will be so much stronger by then.
-Jun is still a fun and adorable rival like he was in D/P~ ♥

See ya! ;)

Here's the blog about the Patent Pending concert that I went to on March 8th. Click the cut and read my babbling about the awesomeness of the show.

( ''According to a statistic that Anthony just made up, you guys are all having a really good time.'' )

~Melissa~

So I'm officially obsessed with Twitter now that I set up my cellphone to update it wherever I am. I posted on it 13 times today, which is exactly half of the posts I've made on it since I got the account 2 weeks ago. @_@ It's cetainly a fun way to keep track of the stupid crap my friend and I say though, so that's always nice. :)

Anyways, yesterday I got the Regigigas download at Toys R Us for my Diamond & Pearl cartridges. But when I was driving from there to my friend's house, I could've SWORE I saw a bear just sitting on a sidewalk curb. Unless it was a ridiculously detailed looking stuffed toy, I'm pretty sure it was real. But since I was stupid and didn't think to pull over to get a better look, I have no proof that it was actually there. When I saw it though, it looked like it was smaller than a full grown bear, but bigger than a bear cub, so I don't really know. But when the school bus that took us to Teen Arts today drove past the spot where I saw it, nothing was sitting there. So I'm just going to believe it was real since that's more fun. :P

But yeah, Teen Arts was alright. I got a lot of pictures of some pretty kick ass art pieces. But I didn't go to any workshops this year even though I was planning on trying to go to at least one. The lady who did the critiques for the ceramics stuff was kinda weird, and her vocabulary seemed rather limited since she basically kept repeating herself over and over. And, scarily enough, she did NOT know who Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" was when she was critiquing the piece that somebody made of her. And that just seems odd since she knew who Alice from "Alice in Wonderland" was. And she kept referring to a whale as being a fish.

See ya! ;)
