So I'm planning to buy this watch once it's back in stock, and I'm really excited because style-wise, it's fairly unique in how the dials turn, not the hand(s).
In other news, my best friend and her family are going away for 3 days, so they gave me a key and their alarm codes so I can come take care of their cat for them, as well as fees the fish. And being that she's my best friend, I'm also cleaning up their house a little to help. Oh, and it happens to be her birthday on August 1st, so I've devised an elaborate riddle-based scavenger hunt where I'll hide her gifts through her house.

Well I just got back from a one night fishing trip... Needless to say I'm tired.
First we went fishing, which kinda caved in since we caught nothing, but not at a complete loss. Next we went hiking on something called "The Nordic Trail." A 20Km trek through the side of a 'canyon' with a beautiful river in the canyon. It took us to the end where a place called the Ink pots lie. The trek killed my legs just from all the steep up hills on our way to the end of the path, not to mention I was put on pack mule duty carrying all the stuff, at least the downhill wasn't bad... Then rain!
Next we tried to have a small camp fire to make some hot dogs.... It didn't end well. The rain kept mocking us and coming down randomly. So we decided after the trek, and failed making of hot dogs, to try out the Banff Hot springs, cause why not, we we're in town. Wet, tired, hungry, we needed something to calm ourselves. My goodness, it was so relaxing. I nearly fell asleep in the spring just because it felt good on my hurt shoulders and feet.

Sounds lovely~
I have never been in a springs myself actually... Must try that sometime.

I've been getting my speed cards time (memorising the order of a pack of cards) down to 4 minutes now. The world memory championships are this December and I really need to get back into shape. I'm probably worst at my speed cards in all fairness though

I'm probably worse. I don't even know what to do for speed cards.

My friend and I decided at 6 am today to go to Walmart and buy some pancakes.....
Man we're lazy if we're not making them ourselves.

how do you make a thread

So... Which forum theme do you guys use?

i feel so stupid

Yeah, I use the current default too.
I liked the Steel Pokémon Pride one, but I noticed it didn't have a Multiquote button and instead had a plain link, which looked out of place.

I've noticed that Dark Illusionist is heavily customized. Just need to change the thread icons, and...

I usually use Dark Illusionist because that's the default and I don't really change much after that.
But when I do change, it's always to Quilava's Inferno. Whe I'm in a different mood, it's to one of he Winter themes. And when I'm just feeling weird, MLP theme for the lulz.

I use Dark Illusionist too. It was like that ever since I joined, and im not changing anytime soon

I use the default white one, from before the Dark Illusionist came in. It just grew on me so I'm just now used to it.

I normally like the default one. But when I change I go to Steel Pokemon Pride or Dialga. And I only change when this one gets boring. But that is only like... Once a week, then the next day I go back to DI.

I just got entered into GTPlanet's Weekly Race Series registry.
I've been placed into Division 3 Silver, almost at Division 3 Gold.
I'm not bad at GT5...but Division 1 Gold's drivers feel like a wrestling match between Stone Cold Steve Austin (them) and John Cena (me).

ya the new thread button isn't there i cant find it so i cant make a thread

Well, today's my birthday and its only 6am and I'm already having the best time. I got 2 hats last night, everyone greeted me on xbox right when I got online, I got on facebook to find dozens of notifications, A RRRREEEAAALLLLYYYY long letter from my GF at exactly 12oclock, and as I said, its not even over! Thanks everyone who greeted me already or the people who are soon to greet me. LOVIN THE DAY!

EDIT: And also, Fubab gave me his limbs.

I was like that yesterday. Zonked out around 9pm and woke up around 7:30am o.o
Guess the cold I had really wore me out.

*looks at date*

Wow, it's barely over two weeks before my birthday!

One month and one day until my birthday.

Only 20 days until my birthday~ I'm so excited~
Oh wait... that's a school day...
Oh wait, who cares? I'm skipping that whole week to go to the beach cause IT'S MY BIRTHWEEK!

I always skip school when it is my birthday

I usually drive over to Springfield and do something fun.

I never skipped on my birthday... To be blunt, my birthdays never really matter to me. I guess it's because most the time nobody even knows when it is. Even so, If I remind them, they just call me pretentious, just wanting gifts. I guess that's why I keep quiet on my birthdays...

I never go to school on my birthday, heh.

I almost never have school on my birthday, which kinda sucks for me because I like seeing my friends on my birthday. Lucky me my birthday is on a Tuesday this year, and it's coming up quite soon, actually. Huh. I have this lingering feeling that my eccentric lockermate will have a small surprise for me. Perhaps a cupcake. Oh well, we'll see. As long as people don't sing to me in class (or worse, make me stand on a chair as they sing to me) then it'll be considered a good day. Even if I have a whole bunch of tests.

As much as I'd love to stay in school ad celebrate with the people who never know it's my birthday and never celebrate or anything, I think I'd painfully have to choose the beach.
And I never skip on my birthday. I try to never skip at all. I used to think it was wrong until the end of 10th grade year when I lost all respect for my school.

Okay, well I wouldn't choose the beach over anything, because I hate the beach, but maybe, like going out hiking for the day or even just going on running paths. But not the beach, because I can't stand the sun, the heat, or the water, so the beach is my ultimate weakness. But I did go to the beach in Florida and that was nice, because it was a cooler and cloudy. Perfect! I don't even like swimming... But once I get in the water, I don't want to come out, because yeah. I is no comfortable with wearing bikinis. I feel too naked. I don't even wear low-cut shirts or shorts often. Which is why I'm so pale. Anyways, back to my ranting about the beach... My best friend's dad pushed me off the dock and into the water when we were visiting her grandparents. Came out dripping wet (mind you, it wasn't a good idea to wear a dark bra under a yellow shirt) and tried to bring him back in with me, but instead just gave him a wet hug, so whatever. I have plenty of time to get him back.

I prefer forested mountains over beaches. I just like the enclosed shade, the scent from the trees, all the greenery, and the mountainous view over the sandy beaches. I guess it's because I live at a spot where to get to a beach, I'd have to spend 1-2 days in a car and drive across a province where as the mountains are literally an hour away.

My aunt and brother have been arguing over him playing football for about a month now, and the most recent one involved me in it.

Brother: Why can't I try out for football?

Aunt: You'll get hurt.

Brother: So will Alex, and she used to play football.

Aunt: Well, Alex is different. She can't break bones in color guard. Wait...she played football?

Brother: Her 8th grade year.

Aunt: I thought she did marching band.

Brother: She did both.

Aunt: I didn't know that. You're not doing football.

Brother: And Alex broke four bones during winter guard one year.

Aunt: Alex, can you come here?

Me: What?

Aunt: What's more dangerous: football or color guard?

Me: Well I've sustained more and worse injuries in color guard than football.

Aunt: Zach, you're not doing football or color guard. 

I tried football you don't get hurt to much

I'm glad I've never broken a bone in my life. I believe Reuniclus and I are on the same boat.

I've had many horrible and awful scrapes, but no broken bones yet.

Same. Never broke a bone, but had scars..

I've put myself through a lot, yet never a broken bone.
I do love my sturdy bones.

Same, i play a lot of contact sports but still nothing. Its the milk i guess

I've had a broken bone before. My middle finger on my right hand got smashed in a wooden door at middle school and broke the tip of my finger's bone off.

Gallium's right, I haven't broken or fractured anything in my life (yet). I've jammed both my fingers and toes before, but it wasn't serious enough where I had to go to a doctor.

I once had a hairline fracture on my toe from stubbing it too hard. I ignored for days until I was dragged to the doctors. :I

The only major injuries I've had was one time when I was 5, I ran head first into a corner post and split part of the upper part of my head open and had to get stitches.(It's right under where my forehead and my hairline meets.) The other one was when I was 8 or so, merely me getting my left hand caught in a door and it crushing my middle finger a bit. It actually turned me right handed after that incident since I used to do things left handed...
(I was one special kid now that I think about it...)

I had a bad case of a bleeding finger from managing to cut my finger with the edge of a window back when I was 10.

When you guys talked about football and its injuries, I thought about what you call soccer, since that game isn't that brutal.

In my case, my bones are very sturdy that my left hand bone endured 3 serious accidents before getting broken. The first one was when I was driving. I crashed into a pillar. My hand got stuck within the hand wheel, and due to the impact, it twisted, but didn't break. On the same day, I was riding a bicycle, and for some reason, I slipped and fell down, and the bicycle fell on my left hand. The very next day, I was playing soccer and some genius spilled a lot of water on the ground. When I slipped, I involuntarily used my left hand to stop myself from crashing to the ground, but the position of my hand was abnormal and the weight was too heavy for it. It broke.

I once jammed my finger so bad while playing basketball, my parents thought my middle finger was broken. It was just bruised a little more severe than other times. I do believe basketball is the cause of the permanent deformity of my right ring finger.

My right middle finger is jammed. The bone itself got deformed for an unknown reason. It doesn't hurt, but it becomes really visible when I write.

Seems like everyone had at least a finger injury or two.

I've HURT MY FINGERS ALOT in bball

the semifinals between Mexico and Japan was exciting to watch

That reminds me of the time I was getting something from the fridge and the door shut On my fingers unexpectedly. It didn't close all the way because that's insane, but it was bleeding for more than 20-30 minutes (Years ago, can't remember. But it was a while)
I would discuss more of my injuries, but I'm getting sick again just thinking about it.

Its three hours ahead of VR time here

Pain is never fun for me, I have a low-tolerance for pain actually, so really I try to stay out of my classmates, hopefully college is going to be better for me in the future, but I'll skip this year before going to college.

So today I had a bday party. That's 450$ in the wallet! Had a really fun time! Me, my friends, having a good time at the house, basketball, football, Kan Jam, EATING. Greatest time ever.

Me and my freinds just hung out they couldn't be there for my Bday so I got a new domo from one of my friends witch was nice and I had alot of fun XD

Some of my bffs and I just went to a movie theatre recently, it was one of those really cheesy movies. I just laugh at things that we can do that we may regret later, but you know that one saying that's been going around I think it's going by '****' or something like that.

Aww that's censored

I haven't done anything of particular interest. I have been sleeping quite a bit lately though...

Waking up midday always feels terrible...

Sooner or later, I'm gonna have to get back to school. I'm still thinking about what to take on my Post Secondary courses. I think it's better if I get an idea sooner, just so I don't fully screw myself on opportunities.

I have my first day of school in 2 weeks and I've been waking up at 2 PM >_< (the school day starts at 8 AM for me). Since I'm so used to falling asleep at around 4 or 5 AM, my sleeping schedule is going to be really messed up when school starts...

I hate it when I got so carried away when it came to summer, when it's over, it's like BAM no sleep on the first few days of school.

It's always hard to go to sleep early when you've been staying up to like 4-5 AM. Believe me, it'll be hard since I stay up to almost 6:30 AM. I'm gonna have fun waking up when school starts.

Messed up schedules... they are an annual pain. My school starts in 09/09, so I have plenty of time; it doesn't worry me. What is worrying me right now is that my IGCSE results will be published on Monday on Cambridge's website. I'm too nervous.

School starts the day after Labor Day for me. My school decided to change the way the daily schedule works by having 7 classes a day (instead of last year's schedule which was 4 classes a day), adding an extra 20 minutes onto each day (so the days end at 2:30 everyday), and making every Tuesday end at 1:32. This year might get a bit hectic because it's my senior year and I decided to take 2 AP classes along with a couple programming classes.

School starts in 4 days for me...school went from 48 minutes per class to 50 minutes...14 more pure minutes of torture. But I think I will live. My locker combination is the easiest in the world...39-49-59. No joke at all. I love it a lot. And my Lcker is in a quiet zone so no "bleeps" everywhere. Also since I have no apple products at all, for Algebra 1 students (highest Math class for 8th grade) get to use iPad all year long. So I guess I can feel more 'powerful. In 7th grade I was in Pre-Algebra...for some reason I just skipped regular Algebra. *shrugs* All I can say is is that school is going to be better than my last year.

School starts for me on the 22nd of August. And I still don't have my summer assignments done! GREAT! (Procrastination techniques are win)

Anyways, we have registration next week, and I can almost guarantee that, somehow, the school is going to mess up the schedule. Every year, it seems like my band class somehow is wrong. In my freshman year they put me in the advanced class instead of the intermediate (but they let me stay anyways) and in sophomore year they didn't have me in marching band for some odd reason. So this year, it's NOT marching band but just regular ol' band, but they'll probably screw it up by putting me in marching band or (hopefully) not accidentally get put in the honors class with the strictest conductor of all time.

I start school on the 27th, the day RIGHT after my birthday. :< I didn't have any problems last year though, because Hurricane Irene delayed my first day to September 1st. I'm hoping for some kind of mass power outage or flood at my school, so that it gets delayed again.

You could always try what I do to fix my sleep cycle Reun. You could always try to pull off an all nighter, and stay up until you think it's a good time for you to fall asleep. Then again you'll be up for more than a day, and that really makes you exhausted by the end... It's just a suggestion.

... Also I feel like I want to go swimming lately... Maybe it's because I haven't been for a long time.

I think I should go try to fix my sleep schedule, too, seeing as I am staying awake until 4:30 for some reason these days.

I'm probably going to fix it on Sunday.... Maybe Monday. Just so I stop feeling terrible when I wake up.

I FINALLY GOT MY REPLACEMENT SAXOPHONE! WHOOO! *Passes out from excitement* Back to making sheet music from G/S/C songs!

SO today I made my decision about Julliard. I'm not going. I'm not ready to leave home.

So... I don't usually talk about my personal life on here or anywhere really, but... something just happened that I probably could've done without right now.

Today was slightly productive for me. In a burst of excitement I completed the sheet music for Indigo Plateau and Vs. Johto Champion Lance. Next are Olivine Lighthouse and SS Aqua. I got a list of all the games I have to beat. Only about 6, and I'm near the end on each. I'm trying to make my last week of summer great, productive, and insane as ever.
