So, Ryan Reynolds is the Green Lantern apparently.

I'm actually totally okay with this, but I was all hyped up for Nathan Fillion, so now I'm a little disappointed to be quite honest.

But I like RyRey and I guess when he's Deadpool he'll be all scarred up, so it's not like they'll look identical.

BUT SPEAKING OF COMICS.  I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOME NEW ONES TO READ BECAUSE RUNAWAYS IS THE ONLY ONE I'VE BEEN BUYING ON A REGULAR BASIS AND FRANKLY IT IS JUST NOT ENOUGH. I PICKED UP LAST WEEK'S X-FACTOR BECAUSE I HEARD THERE WAS GAY IN IT, BUT I'M NOT TOTALLY SOLD ON IT.

SO IF YOU GUYS COULD RECOMMEND SOME COMIC SERIES TO ME, THAT WOULD BE SWELL.  BUT THAT'S OKAY IF YOU CAN'T TOO.

How do you like it?  It took me a while to make a few different versions of it.  (All using Chase's YOU'LL DIE face.)  I finally settled on this one after much deliberation.  I was very tempted to make it my default icon but decided against it.

I managed to hurt my thumb.  Now it is very uncomfortable for me to type.  Though, it is, of course, my fault that it is hurt.  I picked at the skin myself.  I need to have better comprehension of how things will effect me in the future.

I had a pretty good day today.  I accomplished quite a bit in my opinion.

I went to the comic store.  We purchased oodles of Pokemon toys from their little change machine and I felt thoroughly embarassed.  I realized though, that the comic store is a place free of things like hate and judgement.  They love me there, and I love all of them as well.

At work I closed for the first time with Emily instead of Dan.  They both definitely have different work styles.  It's hard to get used to everyone right away, but I am having a good time as I try to form my general understanding of the environment.  I continue to make mental notes on how to classify each person I work with.  

I am very happy that everyone is patient with me there.  As I am learning how to do everything and making more mistakes as I get more undeserved confidence, I feel like I am a small child and they are wizened older adults.  It is not too far from the truth!

I am endlessly amused by the various quirks that I discover in each person I work with.

For instance, today...
Me: *PRYING OPEN A STUBBORN BOX OF ROLLS*
David: Ah!  Terry may have another challenger!
Me: What?
David: Terry is our resident arm wrestling fanatic.
Me: I wasn't aware there was such a thing...
David: Well!  Now you know because you know Terry.

It's very interesting.  Much more fun than any class at school.  Somehow I feel I just FIT here better.  

It's starting to rumble outside.  The clouds have looked threatening all day and it has sprinkled a bit.  (Though it could have rained while I was in the store part of the day.)  I am ready for a big storm!  Rain for days!  Flooding!  Anything to get our grass looking green again.

No jogging today!  MY LEGS HURT I SWEAR.  Actually, I was really tired this morning and I had some bad scary dreams so I didn't get up at a decent time.  I left the house at like 7:00 I AM SO SORRY DOGGIES.  They didn't seem to hold it against me though, so I feel okay.  They don't seem to hold much against me at all, really.  Even if it is obvious that I don't understand them, they are okay with it.

I didn't mention yesterday.  I went to get my comics (I found three issues that I wanted!  I was so happy!).  It was then that I realized I had been sitting on information that I didn't even realize was critical to talk about at the time.  Here I am, waiting in the (two person) line to buy my comics.  I stop and look at the little prize machines, as always.  It just never occurred to me before that I should have told a certain someone about these machines.  A certain someone that pauses at every prize machine she ever walks by, checking for what she so desires.  All the time, I would blindly walk by (at least once a month, that is) what I knew was there but never connected.  

There are Pokemon toys in that little prize machine.  I feel so ashamed that I never told anyone this information.  They have a Blaziken, Blastoise, Pikachu (of course), Plusle, Minun, and Sceptile.  Unfortunately, I didn't have a dollar in quarters at the time, and I was too ashamed to ask for change.  So...  I have yet to purchase any of them.  

It's weird that I feel like a geek in the center of all geekery.  It'd be much easier to buy those toys if they didn't KNOW me there.  If I were some anonymous Walmart customer, I could do whatever I want.  I just don't want to be the EXTRA GEEKY GEEK.   

Agh...  I'm gonna have to get myself some quarters and go back...

Ah, it feels good to finally jog again.  I was getting really lazy there for a while.  It was making me feel flabby and icky.  I feel better now that my legs hurt again.

I have decided that animals are weird.  Mine especially.  

I feel strange.  I hate having nothing to do while I wait for things.  I want to go to the comic store, but I don't want to do it also...  I don't want to have to go out with my mother afterwards.

It's an odd feeling.  I keep getting the urge to seek solace at my father's apartment.  It is somehow more reassuring to know that he won't be there for the most part.  I don't like being stuck with people here.  Luckily, I have an excuse to randomly leave to take care of other animals, but that still doesn't feel like enough.  I hate feeling like I'm being supervised.

I keep getting ideas for stupid House comics.  I wonder if I should act on these?  I suppose if I get bored enough...  We'll see.

I HAVE NO IDEA.

Today, Sarah left on vacation.  So I have a week without her...  How sad.  Luckily, I am taking care of her animals while she is gone.  One of her cats is friends with me.  So me and Thomas will have a fun time together.  

The comic store was closed today, I guess.  At least, it wasn't open when I went by.  I suppose it is logical for it to be closed on a national holiday, but still...  I was looking forward to my comics.  In any case, I guess I can still get them tomorrow.  

I should be training my Grass team while Sarah is gone so that maybe we'll be at good battling levels.  I am at an obvious disadvantage with her choice of Fire and my choice of Grass.  Since I know this ahead of time, I'm still going to try my hardest to give myself some kind of an advantage, even if that means altering some of my choices to realistic dual types.  

  I migrated my Bellossom, Brent, over from my Leaf Green version to possibly help with training.  He's way above our choice for level limit though, so I definitely can't use him on the team.  (Yes, his name is Brent.  I have a male Bellossom and he's very awesome.)  Maybe he'll help me get the rest of the team up to reasonable levels though.  Let's hope so.  I really am struggling with training my Lileep.  He doesn't have enough attack power to train properly on his own and his speed sucks too.  If he wasn't one of my best dual types, I'd probably reconsider him.  We'll see how much better he gets once I up his levels a bit more.

I finally beat Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney last night (Though it was technically this morning.).  Very intense.  I can't wait to go get the sequel now.  I'll either do that today sometime or tomorrow when I go buy my comics.  Hopefully I remember what day it is tomorrow otherwise I'll forget about them.  I kept thinking today was Sunday this morning until I realized that it was a weekday and then had to constantly correct myself on whether or not it was Monday or Wednesday.  It's Tuesday though.  

We went to see Transformers last night.  What an amazing experience!  I can't remember the last time I was so delighted at a movie, probably during one of my last geekouts...  Well, whatever.  THIS movie was great.  I just loved the noises the various machinery made during the film.  I could write an essay just on how sound effects were used.  Not to mention the designs of all the different transformers.  I have to admit, I was never really that big on Transformers.  I am not a member of the fandom.  I didn't know all of the characters' names.  I didn't even know the whole storyline thing.  In any case, I am now overcome with the desire to have my OWN transformer.  My own autobot, if you will.  Though, I am quite certain that my car will not be transforming any time soon, it is fun to imagine what Artemis would be like as a transformer.

We killed a raccoon on the way back from the theater though.  Or rather, I did, since I was the one driving.  I didn't cry though.  It's okay.  It ran right out by me, and I genuinely tried to avoid it.  I feel kind of bad that I don't feel bad about it, but there's really nothing more I could do.  I may be a vegetarian, but I'm not going to punish myself for things I couldn't avoid.

I have nasty rope burn on my middle finger.  (NO NOT FROM MY YO-YO.)  My dog's leash rubbed off some of the skin and it really stings miserably.  So I just yo-yo more on my left hand and get over it.  Such is life.

I hope my mother and sister bring me back something from Starbucks.  They've been gone a while...
