Man. I'm not used to having to keep up with a bunch of journals at the same time. I'll respond soon, guys! Promise~!
Point the First:

I think by tomorrow, I'll actually break the record I set ages ago. Also, SO CLOSE.
And Jane's massive crush on her MC becomes PAINFULLY OBVIOUS. Way to go, girl. Way to be an awkward teen.
Point the Second:
Guess what's up!
Nominations for SPPf's Fanfic Awards 2010! Plz to be nominating
Anima Ex Machina? (Will return the favor if anyone has any fics they've got running on SPPf! Desperate for fic attention? Me? Noooo...)
Point the Third:
mabaliciousness challenged me to a meme, and like a boss gym leader, I must accept! *dramatic pose and everything*

Which brings me to...
FURRET
Furret is awesome, seriously. Originally, I started liking the thing after probably the only plot I still look back on fondly in an old RPG I used to run. (I could write volumes about that RPG, but that's entirely different rant.) There's nothing you need to know about that plot except one of my characters (who was a human) got turned into a Sentret, and lulz were had by all.
But then, when I restarted Silver to tackle a challenge (where I could only use my starter and the first thing I caught on my journey), I decided, "You know what? I've never trained a Furret before!" So, I went out with my trusty Cyndaquil, bagged a Sentret, and gave the thing a test run. And holy crap. Furret just wouldn't die against half the things I fought, and via the virtue of TMs that I didn't really care about wasting, it learned some crazy-awesome moves to kick gym leader tail. My Typhlosion in that game was cool, too, but Furret proved to me that it can be adorable and a downright badass.
And yes, a lot of my answers will probably be centered around, "Well, I didn't think it was all that awesome until it KICKED HALF OF [insert regional league here]'S COLLECTIVE ASSES." Juuust so you know.
