a bugaboo blog.

just had the longest non-tantrum related conversation with my little sister in EVER.

and it was pokemon related!!  :D

she's getting so big, it's awesome.  she was having trouble with the new pokemon game i bought her for her birthday.  when she started playing the first day she got it, she forgot to save the game.  so when she called and asked me why she couldn't find her saved game, i was sure i was gonna get a phone tantrum.  

but she was actually really good and really smart about the situation!  i told her how to start a new game and told her to call  me when she was ready to save it.  when she called it took her a minute to get what i was saying (i was telling her to look for the 'x' button, and she didn't know if i meant on the screen or on the actual ds), but she finally found it.  that's when i realized there was an *actual* problem (apparently in heart gold, you have to erase the saved game or you'll never be able to save.  i bought this copy used at the flea market, so there was a game already on it. . .)

again, i was sure i was in for baby rage, especially when i told her she would have to start over *again*.

but she didn't.  i explained to her that i was going to look online to find out how to delete the old game and that she'd have to start over and asked if that was okay and she was totally fine.

she did have to give the game to mom to erase it (you have to hit three buttons at the same time and her little fingers didn't reach) but she was very mature about it!  or as mature as you can be about a pokemon game.  :D

i bought her this game because i have the corresponding game.  since she's getting way better at reading i figured she would actually get into the story of the game this time instead of wandering around in the grass whacking pidgeys for fun.  and since i have the other game we could trade and battle and all that fun stuff.  i'll probably have to set her ds up to work on wifi the next time i'm there, but that's no biggie.  i'm really excited, i hope she gets into it.  i'm gonna have to make a special bug trip though, she has to beat a few gym leaders before she can play online, but we'll figure it out.

peace.

happy blog.

had an awesome couple of days. :D

got a few birthday presents to myself. of course i'm poor not, but i don't care! my birthday is coming up and i know these are things i would not receive so i bought them myself! two awesome pairs of shoes and pokemon soul silver! and yes, i keep the pokewalker in my pocket like a giant nerd. I DON'T CARE. (side note: just mentioning the pokewalker made me take it out of my pocket and try to catch something. caught me a wooper. :D) pokemon has been my video game obsession since i was in seventh grade, i never get bored of it.

soul silver makes me so happy though. when the game came out my freshman year of high school my mom had to go to wal-mart early because i had pre-ordered it. she brought it home and i did not move from the couch for hours! it was just so amazing! i was like 'OMG THIS ONE IS NEW AND ALL THE PLACES AND FJKLS:DFJKL'. i loved it.

alright, enough about pokemon. even though i love it.

me and chris also had an awesome date night. did a little mall walking, which is always fun. didn't actually buy anything but i can't not be happy while in a mall. did some trivia at buffalo wild wings. i actually didn't get to play much since we were too far away from the tv and i couldn't read the questions. i was also trying to use the buzztime playmaker app on my iPod and it was hard to get used to. chris loved it though. there were a lot of people playing that night too, which makes it so much more fun! me and chris usually go late at night and are the only ones playing,

so one of us gets to gloat and one of us gets to sad face. no in between.

also saw scott pilgrim vs the world! YES AGAIN. it's that awesome! if you haven't seen it, go see it now! i wish i was as cool as this movie! here's a trailer, watch it then go watch the movie!!

how could you NOT LOVE THIS!?

i was afraid i might be bored seeing it a second time, but it was still awesome! i just had time to see all the little details that i missed the first time. so great!

in other news, haven't gotten to drive a lot this week. though i did drive chris's truck to my granny's house. his truck is so weird though. D: but the point is we made it all in one piece so i must be doing something right. :3

gotta post homework now.

peace.
