For those of you who don't know, I used to be hardcore into both the collecting and the gameplay aspects of the Pokemon TCG. I sold most of my Pokemon cards after I went to college, but I kept a small percentage of my collection ( Read more... )

I have two files I've been playing through on Fire Emblem Awakening. My original file with Reyn the male tactician on Normal (which I beat the game with) and my newer file with Robin the female tactician on Hard. I've been switching back and forth between them so I can get the male and female tactician S-rank supports ( Read more... )

Sorry for not keeping up with LJ lately. I've been kind of distracted by other things: my parents' birthdays, their anniversary, the Olympics, rediscovering Neoquest II and basking in the nostalgia, and (most importantly) becoming obsessed with the Codex Alera novels. At first I was pretty unimpressed with the series, but the main character grew on ( Read more... )

Yes, all my FE friends have heard about this already, but I am going to talk about it anyway.

Thanks for not mentioning Fire Emblem AT ALL during your "never-before-seen" 3DS software panel (that was 90% games everyone had already seen) Nintendo. Way to ruin my day. Then one of the Nintendo reps let it slip that FE was getting a North American ( Read more... )

Yep, I hit my weight goal today. I am officially "done" with my diet.

( Blah blah blah diet/body image talk. )

I spent the last few days doing garage sale stuff. The garage sale went well. I sold all of my Beanie Babies and TY plush, which was somewhere around 200-300 items total. I originally had them priced at 25-75 cents each, but some guy asked me if I'd cut him a deal for all of them, and I was like "........ YES, TAKE THEM AWAY". So I am now about $50 ( Read more... )

I've started to become addicted to Fire Emblem 6. I use it as my reward for doing productive things. It's amazing how much I've accomplished since I started using FE6 as an incentive. In the past I've tried motivating myself through internal pep talks ("you should do ____ because think of the long term benefits"), logic ("I know it's overwhelming, ( Read more... )

Pottermore is finally open!

.......................

Except I can't get in because my confirmation email is nowhere to be found.

I checked my spam folder. No Pottermore email though I did find lots of Barnes & Noble emails, which explains why I haven't gotten any B&N coupon offers lately. For those of you who did get in, how long did it take you to get ( Read more... )

Baaaaaw, our oven is breaking. ;___; I guess I should have expected this sooner or later--the oven is older than I am--but I miss the days when it worked correctly. A month ago, I could throw in a fish for 30 minutes and have it come out all nice and crispy. Now it takes me twice as long to get the fish to a point where it's edible, and half the ( Read more... )

I was playing Fire Emblem on my DS Lite, and suddenly, the L button just quit responding. I can manage to make it work in about 1 out of 7 tries, but I have to mash it really hard. Hard enough to make my carpel tunnel issues flare up. (The button doesn't feel "stuck" or anything; it just doesn't respond.) I'm not sure why this happened. I try to ( Read more... )
