So there's a Poe contest going on accepting art, oil/acrylics and poetry. Entries were due yesterday and today 10am-4pm. Guess what time it is? 4:28.

It's not like I slapped a poem together at the last minute. Since I heard about the damn contest, I actually took goddamn inituative and built it over the weeks, turning it from crappy to... something less crappy. It's not like I like writing poetry, as I realized from this experience. But I didn't want to quit because it was hard and I really wanted to enter something and put effort into it too. Yesterday when I went to turn in my poem, it turned out I was wrong about the location, and had to go, I don't know, across the city to an art center. Which meant having my parents drive me. I've wanted to keep this a surprise but I had to tell them anyway, which resulted in them flipping out. So Dad is sick and Mom has a migraine. My sleep schedule is out of whack but I was counting on someone to wake me up, like Mom. We even agreed on this.

And guess what? Me = overslept. Dad = overslept. Mom = Overslept. My brother's at school so there's no way he could've been there. In short? All those weeks I've been planning ahead on have been fucking wasted.

Yet Mom insists I send it by email and fax (despite there being NO option to do so in the pamphlet and rules) and calling the art center to take pity on us. "If you hadn't overslept, we would've gotten there on time. Don't be so defeatist! Call them!" (after I told her a million times they're already closed) Now my head is sick with drama, and now the poem and pamphlet along with a letter have been faxed to the art center anyway. Chances are, they don't accept late entries. I know they don't. It figures after all this hard work, the only way I can get into anything is through pity. Like I said, there's no guarentee.

Unfortunately this sort of thing ends up happenening at least a few times - y'know, to remind you that you shouldn't try getting your hopes up too high because somehow life is going to squash them down again. But I guess you just have to try to salvage something positive from the situation, and in this case you've written an awesome poem, which if you don't get it submitted to the contest, you can still use at a later date. And if not even that, then you have still gone through the process of bettering your writing and style. So there's a small positive, and everyone has to try to keep the positive in mind... but I understand how it must feel. Save states IRL would be the best thing ever.
Hope you feel a little better by today, at least, anyway.
How is Black going? I'm only up to the watery cave thingo (DAMN that game emulates slowly). But it's still pretty fun.

The poem managed to go through after all. But now my mom is depressed over other drama and gfdjgkfdg I don't want to talk about it. But yeah, save states would rock. >(

Ooh, what's your team? I'm at the Tower of Heaven, nom. My starter finally evolved into Ganon. I'm shuffling between Pokemon (which never happened before B/W) and it leaves me open to many weaknesses, haha. XD

^ Sonic does not seem to be enjoing the suprise buttsecks there

Well, at least the poem got through! That's the positive about that, I guess!

Lol, Ganonpig! Is it a Fire/Fighting type? I went through Pearl with the Infernape, which was superfun, although luckily Infernapes are really fast to make up for the type weaknesses. Does Ganonpig have any bonuses to make up for the weaknesses?
I've found the game's type variety has made it a whole bunch harder, too (although part of it is because it's so boring waiting for the emulator - so slow)!
My team is currently thus:

Hiyappu (lvl. 17)
Mamepato (lvl. 14)
Tsutaaja (lvl. 18)
Munna (lvl. 12)
Shimama (lvl.16)
Choroneko (lvl. 14)

What's yours? I usually raise my teams up to much higher levels, but, as aforementioned, it runs so slowly on my computer that grinding is a huge pain. Imma probably going to drop the Munna and Choroneko once I get me some Zuluggs. NERD/CHAV LIZARD ARMY.
