Just throwing this out there:  If the caption game was one of the fun, unique and original things that brought people to TDC in the first place, then... wouldn't that mean we are potentially the birthplace of "memes" as we know them today?

Or it could just be that my dog has really smelly poop.

Smelly poop is smelly.

Okay, so Facebook won't let me post this, and no one has posted here since May, so here goes.

Okay, so usually, my nightmares are me getting attacked by animals.  Last night, I dream that I'm out in the woods, and I see a black bear.  So I drop to the ground and play dead, and the bear comes over to check me out.  As it sniffs me, it starts to tickle.  And I'm pretty sure that the only reason why I'm not reacting is because that part of the dream is suppose to be me playing a video game.

To make the night, or rather morning by this point, even weirder, we get to the nightmare.  I'm in the backyard, trying to clean up dog poop.  Key word here is "trying," because the bag keeps on breaking, and every time it does, there is somehow more poop on the ground than there was before the bag broke.

That's... rather strange.  I honestly don't know what the bear dream could possibly represent.  The poop dream seems like a pretty straightforward metaphor though, you've got something that needs to be done but it just keeps piling up and no matter how hard you try your hands are gonna get dirty and you might never finish.  Bleh.  Nightmares suck.

I don't know how they'd do that but I'm just sad that this exists so I don't know if my feeble heart can take much more....... :-*

Excuse me while I jam 3,000 cotton balls in my ears.

oh god, why.

Goodness, nobody's posted here in quite a while.

So I'll leave you with this, which I created for my friend Paul.

Holy moley I'm living the beginning of a creepy pasta ;)
So I started a new file today, but no matter which pokemon I choose in the beginning, I end up with a Lv.5 Charmander with 0 life. It doesn't die in battle... It just gets hit, and makes the fainting noise, but remains on the battlefield. It's like cheating. I had work today, but I didn't get far. There's a chandler on route 1, and when I talk to her, she just makes a pokemon noise. I think I might have actually stumbled upon a creepy pasta pokemon game ;D

So I was at my local card shop today, and found a what looked like a gameboy color game, but it was burnt to high hell. The whole thing is burned, and somehow still works. Mike (the manager) had it priced at 25 cents. I asked him about it, and he said he didn't know what game it was. Some guy came in, and put the game on the counter. Apparently, Mike said he wasn't gonna take the game, but the guy said Mike could HAVE it. He didn't want it. He said the game was nothing but trouble.

I laughed, and said, "Obviously... It's burnt! How does he expect it to work?" Mike told me it really worked! He told me to keep my quarter and told me I could have it. He just had to put a price on it for store reasons or something. So yeah, I took it and threw it in my GBA SP. It took a couple of tries, and some blowing on the cartridge, but it finally fired up. It's Pokemon Red version! I can't believe this thing still works! I'll put a picture of it up as soon as I can. My phone's camera is malfunctioning every time I try to take a picture. The application freezes, and it takes me back to the home screen. I need a new phone soon =P

Anyways, yeah, the guy was in the beginning of the game, and somehow has Lv. 0 Charmander with 0 HP and 0 for all of its stats. It's pretty creepy, like it has no life XD

I think he tried hacking the game, and got pissed at it for not working like he wanted. I haven't gotten a chance to play it, but I'll start a new game tomorrow and try like a Nuzlocke or something. My luck is turning up ^^

So my dad paid the fine, because my mom made him. My mom didn't want me to go to jail under any circumstance. Now I just owe my dad back. He absolutely DOES have the right to ask me to give one of them up, because I'm still living under his roof. When I have my own place, I'll get back into Magic the Gathering.

So now I owe him all that money, and he's a lot lest strict about due dates than the law. The ticket was originally $20. I'm okay now, I suppose. It's just gonna suck, because I really wanted to go to comic con this year... Now I have to save up for my costume all over again.

I had $80 in the costume fund, $40 in the Pokemon Y fund, $70 in the Wii-U fund, and $30 in the smash bros fund. $200 in the bank (waiting to be taken for bills), and like $30 extra spending money. All of it poofed in the blink of an eye. All of my sadness  :'(

edit: yeah, I'm 21.

That sucks, mang.  As a debtor, I know that feeeeeel

Thanks, guys :3

I actually have a job interview next week with the company I got my training from! If I get the job I'll be working as a Special Events medic, which means I'll be getting paid to attend all the fun stuff Reno and some of the surrounding areas have going on. I could even go to Burning Man. And even better, on top of a paycheck, being employed by them means I get free education from them, so I can get my next-level EMT certification at no charge. After that my job opportunities expand even further. It's exciting!

Dude, that's awesome!

You guys (well, maybe just Mags) aren't going to like this, but....


I had a job interview last Thursday, and I have a second one this Tuesday.  If I get it, I'll be an overnight stocker at the Kroger's being built down the street from where I live.  Hopefully, I'll be allowed to grow my beard back out.

You look like a manly man man.
