The Weekend That Should Have Been Real

How My Weekend Should Have Been

Friday

• 100,000 sq. ft. total-immersion experience of the zombie apocalypse in Atlanta with friends, in which I would have squealed with terror, but in a gleeful way, like a seven year old being scared by her dad. Her zombie dad.
• Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight with a bunch of crazy people throwing things at each other and yelling things at the screen, which is pretty much my idea of what Heaven is like. Minus the stains on the carpet, and the B.O.

Saturday

• Movies with, and numerous opportunities to make fun of, A.G.

Sunday

• Halloween, and whatever that entails.

How My Weekend Is Going

Friday

• Ride to Atlanta canceled.
• Sat in front of the computer. Played around with a blog.
• Made a twitter.
• Sat in front of the computer some more.
• Played way too much Project Legacy.

Saturday

• A.G. canceled. 
• Went to Not So Scary, so that was pretty good.
• Sat around on the computer.
• Played way too much Project Legacy.
• Whined.

Maybe Sunday will be better, and I mean, having a blog is pretty cool. Especially with Erica helping out.

Whiiiiiiiiiine.

Does this pathetic self-pity make me look hipster?

Furiijio Likes to Run

At least he's hardy.

Also long walks on the beach, and pretty flowers.

Guys, it has no legs.

If ever there was a randomized personality, it was this Pokemon's. Seriously though, there is a bigger problem here:

Pokemon have one-sentence personalities.

Your beloved creatures are simplified to "Eats pastries on Sundays", or "Slaughtered its entire family". This game obviously doesn't understand the emotional depth of your Pokemon. They don't get that your Pokemon get sad if they sit in your box for forever, or get jealous if they're never given a chance to fight. They just "Like to run", without legs.

In Furiijio's case, his personality is a cruel joke on his life. He likes to run, but will never have the opportunity-- he simply hovers. His only defining characteristic is his wish to gallop, to saunter, but he has to go through life floating. The only way it could be worse would be if his personality sentence was "likes to play in volcanoes", or something, but this is pretty horrible.

It's like they're making fun of the disabled.

I would like a moment of silence for Furiijio.

Not everybody has legs.

Does this attachment to fictional characters make me look hipster?
