You know when I said I'd 'fill you in later'?
Well, yeah. I lied. Welp.
The thing is, I haven't really been doing anything productive on the web, lately. I stopped tweeting, stopped tumblring, stopped writing. But yes, I was on the internet. I was barely on Facebook. What the hell was I doing? No, not even homework. I haven't done homework all week (it'll be bite me in the ass, but I'm being serious).
I have downloaded the VBA emulator. Along with Pokemon Yellow.
I can hear the silence and everyone just being like, "Oh God. How old is this girl again? Are you sure she's not just a really freakishly tall ten-year-old?" But no, really. I'm an almost-sixteen-year-old and I got a flash of my childhood by cracking out the old Game Boy games. As in, the really old school ones. (I bet the newer generation don't even realise how big the Game Boy cartridges once were.)
However, it's not just all Old School. Because Pokemon Yellow doesn't have a female character (unfortunately Old School cartridges don't have the data space), I had to come up with a name for the male character, because I didn't really want to go with Ash. And unlike when I was like 5 years old and I was so excited to play Pokemon Red for the first time I didn't realise the character I had named Natasha was in fact a boy until I reached Cerulean City, I needed a really good name.
For some reason (mostly Lianna's), I named the main character Liam. You know, after Liam Payne. This ridiculously cute person here:
Oh, look. He's happy that I named the character after him!
... No, but really. I did.
I also named his rival something fitting against a character named after Liam Payne:
Well, yeah. I lied. Welp.

I thought it was hilarious. It's a shame if you don't think it is. (Well, if you get it.)
Anyway, Liam got his Pikachu and I was feeling a lot of Percy Jackson feels, so this is what Liam's Pikachu ended up being called:
 |
| (It was that or Jason. You know, Thalia's brother.) |
Anyway, Thalia didn't like Liam much, but they're sort of broskis now because he's been training her in the Viridian Forest and she's been frying all the bug Pokemon. She's also very good at attacking the Pidgey. I mean, Liam (and I) wanted to catch a Pidgey, but she'd just get too into the battle and bam! Roasted Pidgey has fainted.
Percy and Annabeth are named in honour of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase because if I have a Thalia, I need the main characters from the book series. And since I ship Percabeth like Fed Ex ships parcels, I decided that since the Nidorans are the only Pokemon in Generation I to have genders, I had to ship them, so they're my OTP, even in the Pokemon world.
Kevin is named after Kevin the Pigeon. If you know who One Direction is (and I mean, know them rather well), you'll know who Kevin the Pigeon is. Anyway, he's named after a One Direction thing to keep him company because I don't know when I can catch a Niall, Louis, or Zayn, and I intend to catch a Tangela and name it Harry. But that's going to take a while, because Tangela is in the Safari Zone. I checked.
Anyway, I have one more Pokemon - it was once a Caterpie, but now it's a Metapod. I have named him Adam. I'm not sure why; mostly because someone mentioned Adam Levine. Anyway, here's a picture of him in battle.
Yeah, I know he's sort of scary. But he'll be a supermegafoxyawesomehot Butterfree in three levels. I promise.
To be honest, I don't think anyone's gonna read this, and if they do they're probably just gonna:
Because of my fandom feelings, Thalia is no longer the lone Pokemon in Liam's party. She is joined by:

To be honest, I don't think anyone's gonna read this, and if they do they're probably just gonna:
- Laugh and shake their heads, probably muttering a "Oh Natasha" under their breath
- Or be pokerfaced and wonder what the hell is wrong with me
- Probably the latter.
Also, I finished Paper Towns by John Green, and a Year 12 in my homeroom has told me I will definitely be a nerdfighter. John Green kind of stomped on my heart, but I think I appreciated it in some sort of sadistic way. But I'll probably blog about that tomorrow. Because, frankly, I'm tired as hell and I even tried napping this afternoon, after the athletics carnival (coldest day of my life, but better than a bio test).
I'm think I'm just going to leave it here, because you know. I think you're slightly worried about my sanity now. I think I need to go sleep or something. Maybe play a little bit more. Yeah...
Yours in weirdness,
Tash.
