Never Far from the Tree

[razeasha]

Do you ever wonder what your landscaper does when they really, really hate you? Even though it was probably not the case, my mother and I like to think that sheer loathing is the only reason why someone would plant hybrid Dogwoods such as the ones that shade our front walk. When these trees bloom, instead of having white, rounded petals similar to

I dunno, maybe God decided to troll us.
Reminds me of the pear tress on my campus. Come every spring, the main area of campus smells like an algae bloom came along and killed every single fish within a five mile radius, which is ironic considering I live in a landlocked state.

Oh, and what do you think of the new Pokemon released. I think that after this, I'm naming the T-Rex Chomper and the Fennekin "Robin", after Robin Hood. MY DREAMS ARE BEING FULFILLED.

I...uh, well, I should not say what blooming Bradford Pear trees smell like to me, since the simile is highly inappropriate, but I certainly detest their scent. We used to have a ton around campus. I thought the blooms were so lovely, until I stuck my face into some and my nostrils were assaulted by an unpleasant, salty scent.

One of my friends said that she saw a guy walk buy one, catch a whiff from one of those awful trees in bloom, break off a branch, and run away with it. IU am unsure of his intentions, but they couldn't have been good-at least for some poor soul.

I LOVE THE DOG! I like Froakie's evo, but I really didn't want Fennekin to become bipedal. I'm looking forward to seeing their final forms though. I think the psychic cats are neat, but the dog is my favorite. I WILL train it and I WILL train Spritzee. I really hope Spritzee evolves into a plague doctor flamingo.

*gets drift*
The dog is soooo fluffy! And you can personalize its coat as well. As for Fennekin's evolution, I'd like to think that the little twig in its fail will become some sort of epic wizard staff, since the implications are that it evolves into a Fire/Psychic type. Chespin's and Froakie's evo types are still kind of in the air for me. Also a plague doctor flamingo would make MY LIFE. It's bad enough that it feels like I already have my team in place, THEN Nintendo has to go and make even more awesome pokemon. It feels like I'm becoming over hyped for the game ahah*sobs*

Oh, and when I saw Mega-Garchomp, it kind of unsettled me and I couldn't figure out why until I realized that he pretty much looks like an AX-WIELDING MURDERER, complete with creepy grin and all. Guess I'm naming the Gible I'm getting from Black Tower "Ripper".

Yeah, if Fennekin's final evo is beyond amazing, it shall be redeemed. I didn't like Oshawott, but picked it because I liked Dewott and Samurott. Now, I love Oshawott too! Wouldn't it???? If there is no plague doctor flamingo, I might have to curl up in a ball and cry.

I didn't get a good look at its face...I think it's amusing how some people think that the chest spikes make it look like a maid.

I have not yet picked names. I could name a Spritzee "Rosie" after "Ring around the Rosie" but if there's no plague doctor flamingo, there will be rivers of tears over here.

I'd probably name the dog something fancy, like my Leavanny named "Wordsworth" but I'm not sure what yet.

this was a remarkably eloquent entry to stinky trees :)

Thank you! It was fun to write. I'm trying to learn how to write with a more exaggerated and amusing tone.

(Those trees smell so bad, man! They really do.)
