お誕生日おめでとう、はるか
I caught a Polywag
I’m going to name it P-Foo. There’s a story behind that.
You see, I had this friend in sixth grade (she went to Knox in the end ;_;) who was obssessed with and had a lot of cats. At her mom’s house, she had 7 cats, all named “Kitty” (except for one, named Neko). At her dad’s house, she had a cat named Sprinkles.
Now one day, her friend’s cat had kittens! They immediately started deciding on names for the kittens. They named most of them things like ShadowPaw or GingerHeart (Hey, Warriors was a big thing back then!) but then my friend’s friend gave her one of the kittens. So she wanted the name to be different.
My friend asked all of the group for help. In the end, this guy came up with the name Onion! My friend promptly declared that her kitten was named Onion. (It was going to be named Turnip, but she changed her mind). Sometime later, however, she stopped calling it Onion and renamed it P-Foo.
Now when I caught my Poliwag, I was trying to think of a name for it. I couldn’t think of a good name for it, but then I realized “Poliwag” starts with a P.
Long story short: My Polywag is named P-Foo because I made this connection: Poliwag —> P—> P-Foo.
Agh, that was pointless. You really don’t want to know why I’m going to name my Dratini “Kite”. That’s an even longer story…
Natalie? As that kind of person?
Pffft.
Turned in my Nikki at around 4 this morning
Because I woke up and realized I hadn’t done it yet.
I hope Sensei still accepts it.
Still have to do my journal :/
I guess I’ll be turning it in late tonight…
Nothing like a scoop of ice cream after walking the dog.
On the other hand, the situation just got worse.

Laps for Lives
So, it was a fundraiser to pay for a mine-sniffing dog for another country. As part of CIA (No, not that one. The school club), I had to volunteer. And it was a lot of fun.
The Good News: We raised between $5000—$6000.
The Bad News: It’s all gone because some jerk stole it.
Most people think they know who it is (Some sophomore who’s always in R.A.) and got his license plate, so we should be able to get it back. Still, you can’t blame anybody working the event; Nobody expected someone to do that at a charity event.
Claire, Monica, Raquel, and I were all putting globes back in the classroom and cleaning up when it happened. Apparently, he ran off and some people chased him, but he got away in his car.
Lucky for him he did, because Claire declared she’d have smashed his face in (and she probably would have, no joke). I think we all did, though. My friends were all talking about it for a while.

Feels so good to get that off my chest…
There's this habit I have.
Unless I’m showing someone something, if anybody walks by me while I’m at the computer, I’ll minimize whatever’s open.
It’s like I’m embarrassed or worried what they’ll think.
Tomorrow, I start the last section
Gaaaah, it all came to an end so soon. And with such a downer ending,too.
Not to mention, the only unfinished part will be that PSP game that is lacking in storyline compared to the rest of the series.
On a lighter note, I watched the summary film (TRILOGY) and it was really cute, despite being just as sad…
8,965 steps
That’s how many I got today. Sadly, not quite enough to get a surfing Pikachu.
So close, yet so far…
