Yeah, everybody knows I'm addicted to Pokemon. I'm always replaying the games and when I finish, I'm looking for more Pokemon related things. These are some websites I've come across recently and found myself addicted to.
VDex
Gpxplus
Pokefarm
All three of these websites are similar. It's not exactly like playing an actual Pokemon game, but more about collecting and leveling up your Pokemon. Each website has custom event Pokemon that you can only get in these games. (you cannot get them in the real pokemon games) and you can rely on other users to help your Pokemon eggs hatch and Pokemon level up by clicking each others eggs. The more you click others the more clicks you get back, which means the faster your Pokemon level up.

Description of depression and suicide
I found this on tumblr and thought it was the most accurate description of depression and how other people seem to think when you're going through it. (I didn't write this, whoever did, I love you)
So, one day you are walking along, minding your own business, when suddenly you trip and fall into this enormously deep pit sitting right in the middle of the path. No clue how it got there or how you failed to notice it until you had fallen in. You struggle and try to get out of the pit but the walls are too steep and crumbly and the ground under you is wet and muddy and you make no progress at all to get out.
So there you are. Sitting at the bottom of a dark pit, miserable, with no foreseeable way out. And then you hear a voice from above.
“Hey there stranger, you seem to have fallen into a pit, eh?”
“Help! Help I’m stuck and can’t get out! Please help!”
“Listen, what you need to do now is buck up and see the good things in life. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, everything is just grand. Smile!”
And off they go, leaving you in the pit to contemplate how muddy the mud is and how little sunlight actually reaches you, and when you can faintly hear birds signing it is only a reminder of how far down and stuck you are. Then another voice.
“My good friend, how nice to see you down there!”
“Help! For the love of god I am stuck! Help!”
“Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to go hang at the mall today. We could catch a movie or something.”
“I can't! I’m stuck down here! I need help! Get a rope or something, please!”
“Dude, come on. Don’t be so down all the time. If you don’t want to come you could just tell me instead of making excuses. Way to not care about my feelings.”
And off they go. Shit. Now you are in a hole and you hurt your friend’s feelings and you kinda did want to go to the mall. And the mud is really cold. Your feet are starting to sink in and you start spending a lot of energy just to keep from sinking in so far they you can’t move anymore. It is exhausting. But then a voice that you know so well.
“Hey love! How are you today? I bought your favorite food for supper tonight <3”
“Oh thank god! Help please! I fell down here and can’t get out and I am sinking into the mud and I’m so scared that I might sink too far in and never be able to get out!”
“You know, you don’t have to get upset with me.”
“I’m not! I just need help. I love you.”
“Well you certainly have a funny way of showing, moping about down there in that hole. If you really loved me maybe you would climb out so we can go home.”
“I’ve tried! Really I have. The walls are too steep. I can’t do it. I need a ladder or something. Call the fire department!”
“Ugh. You aren’t the only one with problems, you know. Just earlier today I stumble in a small dip in the sidewalk and stepped in a shallow puddle but you don’t see me using it as an excuse to be all self centered. You know what, fine. I’ll just go home and eat by myself. I hope you enjoy your little pity party down there.”
And off they go.
You are desperate and alone even though you can hear and even occasionally see people walking past the opening of the hole. You call out over and over but nobody seems to care or notice. And those that do give you trite little nothings.
“You should have waited till you were older to fall into a hole. Why didn’t you think before you fell in?”
“Kids these days, leaping into holes without any consideration for the rest of us. Grow up already.”
“You know, if I was in a hole, I would have a grand time of it. No rules or concerns to hold me back. I would make mud pies all day long. You are in such a great position.”
“Cheer up! If you smiled more and had some fun you would be out of that hole in no time!”
“Stop crying so much. You’re making the rest of us feel bad.”
At some point somebody hears you and actually listens as you cry for help. They run off and return later with a large crowd of strangers who stand around the rim of your hole shouting down more pointless little nothings and encouraging you. More than a few say things like “think about your family! Being stuck in a hole is so selfish when there are so many people who love you!”
And eventually they all clear out and you are still in the hole and the sun is setting and it genuinely feels like there is no hope at all.
The end. No, this story doesn’t have a happy ending. It doesn’t have a cheerful humorous joke to sum up the moral. You sit in the hole until you get tired of trying. You stop calling for help. You let yourself sink into the mud up to your knees and waist and chest. Your friends stop coming by. Your partner leaves you because it is too much trouble putting up with you. Your family stops by to admonish you for being down there and embarrassing them so much. And someday you do the only thing that would end your existence in the hole and pile the mud up over your face and suffocate, because as scary and awful as death is, it seems to be a better option than living the rest of your life miserable and cold and in pain stuck at the bottom of a hole unable to enjoy anything or feel anything. And that is the end of this little story

Anime challenge, days 11 and 12
Day 11- Anime you've rewatched the most
I've re watched a lot of animes, because when I get obsessed with something I keep watching it over and over until I get tired of it. I remember re watching Death Note so many times I can't even count.
I've re watched a lot of animes, because when I get obsessed with something I keep watching it over and over until I get tired of it. I remember re watching Death Note so many times I can't even count.
Besides Death Note, another one I watched a lot was Fruits Basket. Took me a while to move on to a different anime because I loved it so much.
In fact I'm thinking about re watching it again since i haven't seen it in a while and its on netflix.
Day 12 - An ecchi picture from your favorite series
Like I said for day 2 of this challenge, I can't pick a 'favorite' because I have so many. But Panty and Stocking is on the favorites list.

The Hunger Games Movie: My Thoughts.
Okay, so I went to see The Hunger Games today. I'm a huge fan of the books and have been waiting forever for this movie to come out! Since I loved the books so much, I already has such high expectations for the movie. ...The movie turned out to be a lot better then I expected! They stuck to the book perfectly.
The cast was brilliant.
Josh Hutcherson was perfect for Peeta, they couldn't have cast a better guy.
Prim was captured beautifully. Her screaming actually gave me goose-bumps and any time Katniss and Prim were on screen together, I felt the atmosphere in the cinema. They worked wonderfully together.
Cinna - I loved Cinna. They did really well. The detail that went into his look was great - everything down to his gold eyeliner.
Isabelle was the perfect Clove.
I was a little iffy when I first saw Haymitch on promotional pictures but he really was portrayed well in the movie.
However, there were some things I didn't like about the movie....
First thing I want to mention was the love triangle already forming. I can’t help but feel like the producers made Gale and Katniss seem like more than good friends, in an attempt to get more people watching. It’ll only produce annoying fans who only care about the love triangle. Even when I was in the theater there were people yelling "Team Peeta!" "Team Gale!" and I hate fans like that who don't focus on what the series is actually about.
I’m a little disappointed with the cave scenes. I feel that they were too empty and rushed. In the book Katniss and Peeta had long conversations and it felt a lot more meaningful. In the movie Katniss just kept shushing Peeta whenever he tried to start a conversation. The kiss was also way too rushed, not to mention they showed Gale staring at the screen whenever they were kissing, which just sucks the fans into the love triangle even more.
Peeta didn't loose his leg, I feel that was a big detail from the book they left out. ...I mean, loosing your leg is kind of a big deal.
I don’t like the fact Madge was cut out. I think she played quite a big part in this - from her giving Katniss the pin, to Katniss finally realizing (in later books) that Madge is someone who considers her as a friend.
Last point, also on Katniss & Peeta. The moment they share at the end of the book, when Katniss admits that her love in the arena was for the camera’s was something that grabbed me into the triology. Peeta’s feelings were shattered and they didn’t include it. I was really annoyed with this.
Other then the those things, I thought the movie was fantastic.
