Regular chess? Mere peanuts. True chess players play ice speed chess.

I've already got one and I do absolutely nothing. But it's nice to hear that you're enjoying something like that.
But now I think I might have to give up my dream of wrestling. All that weight and diet control you talk about makes me want to throw up. |

How much do you weigh? Cause honestly, if you are in the middle of the weight class, or the top of your weight class or something like that, you don't have to do any of that. I just do it cause I'm capable of it and can make the easier match if I wanted too.

Oh shoot, you'd be in 133-137 weight class. So that's the bottom of the weight class and if your coach is a serious coach, he'll ask you to go down a pound or two to get to a lower class. But a pound is something you'll lose in one practice anyways (if you work as hard as we do), but don't worry. After Christmas, the weight classes go up by +2 lbs. So after Christmas, all you would have to do is maintain weight and your fine. Not really losing or dieting at all.

I tried playing intramural tennis and I played horribly. I was out of season and it's been a long time I play tennis since high school (I played in my high school tennis team for 2 years). I tried running to keep me in shape during college and I end liking running. Plus it's not as time-consuming as tennis for me because of homework and college life.

My dad is now the coolest person ever to me, after so many years of being lame and useless. He just got me a Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road poster, both holographic~ And he agreed to fund the rest of my Beatles album purchases! YES YES YES! And on top of that, he gave me a case for my Kindle that comes with a working stylus. AND THEY SAID THESE TYPES OF TOUCH SCREENS DON'T HAVE STYLI! ECSTATIC! |

Well, that was a fun New Years Party I had. Couple of friends came over, played some games on Nintendo Land. Watched part of a movie. Played a different board game. And then at the late hours of the night, one friend and I beat New Super Mario Bros U. All while using a stereotypical Russian accent and mocking other countries...
Oh all the comments made... |

You're lucky you had a New Year's party. All I had was me, myself, I, a cleaning mom, and The Beatles' Rock Band. It was my ultimate goal to get 5 stars on every single song with Expert Bass before 2013 rolled in, but I failed with 2 songs still at 4 stars at about 11:50. But I consider it a personal achievement to the bettering of my fake-bass playing skills.
It's completely official, Internet Explorer has become my default browser over Chrome. Again. I mean... it's lightning fast, almost as fast as Chrome's bullet speeds. But it's more durable and doesn't crash like Chrome does every-so-often. And when it does have problems it's usually because my whole laptop is having some sort of issue. Plus it looks... smoother than Chrome. Maybe this time I won't go back... And while the year so far has been amazing (y'know, for 2 days), it all came down when my band teacher said Jazz Band was canceled. Only 3 people actually auditioned well (me being one of them, of course. I LIVE for it) and now I've got no reason for using my Soprano. But, it can only get better from there... |

I'm going on a retreat this afternoon! I won't be able to come on here much this weekend since I'll be with my friends most of the time. There's gonna be snow on the ground where I'm going, so I'm gonna have fun running outside in shorts and a T-shirt.

Now look, some of you may see me as being a little bit of a rule breaker, but this is no spoiler of ANY content in XY, so I figured I'd share my excitement. Guys. This is the first time ever that a Pokemon game is to be released worldwide at the same time everywhere. This is a huge event. It'll be a worldwide phenomenon. We will all be playing this game at the same time. Everybody who is anybody and is a Pokemon fan will be playing at the same time as you, no matter where they're from.
Not to mention bro, you save money because you have no need to import. Now that that's oooooooooooover... I'll go back to my hole of sorrow, where I have too much homework, projects and upcoming exams, crunching for time, don't want to do any of it, but will pull through anyways. *Sighs* Yaaaaaay. |

Why is it that the Winnepeg Jets are still in the South West League?
I'm pretty upset I don't keep track of hockey more since my favorite team, the Rangers makes it to the playoffs every year. Also there's apparently an entire Wikipedia article now devoted to a possible expansion. Last edited by Magmaster12; January 14, 2013 at 05:01:53 PM. |

Wanna know what I feel is so weird? Because of the Jets, people actually know the name of the city where I live. Buuuut, I bet you don't even know where it actually is without the internet.
Nah, I was fine without hockey, but I feel bad for all of the season ticket holders. The Jets games are sold out in Winnipeg for the next 5 years! |

It's actually kinda funny, because in my province (a state, for those who seriously don't know), Tagalog is the second most spoken language. There's a MASSIVE Filipino community that just keeps bring in more immigrants. It's kinda sad. I feel pressured to learn Tagalog now. |

Bleh, I hate the feeling of being sick. I feel better now, but for the last two or three days, I've had a few flu symptoms. I blame one of my friends for that, but I didn't expect the flu to be this bad on Long Island...
I'm also thinking about making a blog, but I'm not sure what I'd include in one. |

In a blog you would post things that you did that day, how you're feeling, what you're thinking, your plans, interesting things that happened to you, etc. Just like talk about yourself. And you know what? I'm probably coming down with something, too. I had symptoms of sickness this morn-afternoon when I woke up. Maybe I should start going to sleep before 3 AM

IT'S SO COLD. Even though I love the cold and barely get chilly, I thought it was freezing today. The wind made things worse too. It's around 21 degrees in New York (which certainly isn't as bad as Michigan's temperature), but the wind makes it feel below zero. >_< Looks like winter is coming a lot later this year than usual.

Why am I feeling this insane amount of coldness too? The only part of my skin showing were my eyes and I could still feel the wind tearing me apart. Winter is an amazing season and all, but only when it has snow and joy. Not evil winds and short days. :I Plus a fire drill. In the freezing cold. Who does that?

Well then, fire needs to get its act together and stop causing these things before my fingers freeze off. I almost can't wait for Spring (And not just because I'll have Wreck-It Ralph, oh yes I will~♥♥<3<3 heart heart)

The thing that I thought wasn't going to happen actually happened. It actually snowed last night. Even though it wasn't much, I should thank it for getting me a 2 hour delay. Without it I would've missed school because I went to bed at about 4:30... again. And all the teachers got annoyed so they didn't even feel like TEACHING. Great day for me, I haven't had a bad one since 2013 started. |

Hmm...
I sometimes feel like I would prefer status quo in a lot of things. Seems like a lot of things about me hasn't changed. Yet. At least it's more comfy now with a real AC unit in the room. Anyway, I sometimes feel like I want to go out more. Do you? |
#11366

Considering I spend all my time inside of my house when I'm not participating in some sort of school activity, I would definitely love to get out more. It's usually me in the summer biking all over the city, but that doesn't last long.
2 great days in a row~ This school day ended 2 hours early because of a little snow warning. Now wouldn't it be a scream if it never even snowed? Hahaha~ Unfortunately, I had about 6-7 hours' worth of afterschool things planned, and now they're all canceled. So I basically have nothing to do for the whole day. Oh God, what do I do? |

Hah, sociable. Although I'm working on it, I can live without seeing actual people since I have some pretty poor social skills. I couldn't even order a cheeseburger until last year
And now this day has become even MORE amazing~ We got our new PS2 today, just a couple hours ago. Now I can finally play Crazy Taxi again~! (I don't know why the old one just couldn't have been fixed. I'm still keeping it.) Soon we'll have our gigantic PlayStation marathon, playing all my classic favorites from like 10 PM to like 5 AM~ |

I played Brawl just yesterday after a party at school. I never thought I'd say this, but I got my butt kicked by Peach. ._. I always tend to lose against my friend when we're down to our last lives (We play on 3 Stock matches).
Since I main as Lucas, he has a difficult time fighting in the air, while Peach is one of the best characters at aerial combat. Gah Peach is so evil! D: |

I played Brawl too, at a birthday party I went to just yesterday. I still managed to come on top in nearly every game (about 98% of them) even though only a couple people were a real challenge. It seems that with Lucas I'm losing some of my skill, I might need to practice more with him, but I'm picking up Ness a lot more and Olimar is still god-like unbeatable. Even after not playing this game for months I still retain my high skill level.

There's this game from Bandai which is very similar to Mario Kart named Digimon Racing for the Game Boy Advance. Even though it was made by a western team, they did a really, really nice job keeping true to the series. The music is brilliant. Ian Stocker composed the soundtrack so well with such great attention to detail in instrument choice for that distinct Japanese video game sound, I actually thought that a Japanese team did the OST. I then checked the credits, and BAM! My jaw dropped as the truth was revealed. Impressive in my opinion, really. In terms of gameplay, I actually like it better than Mario Kart. The game engine is smoother, faster, and you could jump higher, too (which to me is always a plus). I remember getting back to that game after a long time. I actually managed to beat my previous record times for a few tracks. How's that for rusty? : P Last edited by GalliumGrant; January 27, 2013 at 09:14:43 PM. |

Las Vegas weather can be ridiculous at times.
Normally, deciduous trees drop their needles or leaves in mid-autumn. No, in Las Vegas they drop them in mid-winter. The trees around here FINALLY decided to drop them. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; January 28, 2013 at 07:13:20 PM. |

I don't get this wacky weather sometimes. .-.
Oh, and while I was home from school I saw a visitor at my house sunning itself on the backyard deck. It's rare to see feral cats in the neighborhood I live in. I like the colors on this one. :3 |

Here in another part of Michigan, pretty much right by Lake Michigan, we'll get really wacky weather. The other day it went from snow to ice thunder storm. Twas very foggy the next day. And now it's 60 degrees Fahrenheit and supposed to be in the high teens by Thursday. Michigan gets some crazy weather, but usually nothing like this.

We don't really have that many wild cats here anymore, but when there were they were all ominously black. We usually have instead foxes and deer. The foxes are nice to look at with their pretty fur, but the deer are too frequent to be cool. Man if I had a dollar for every time we nearly ran into a deer...

No fur cats near where I live either.. There are these two outdoor cats that are owned by my neighbor and they stray along our street and sometimes in our backyards and stuff but that's about it. However, their activity has been greater lately even with the snow and stuff because of Hurricane Sandy. The storm hit our neighbors' house pretty badly with a tree toppling over and everything
