Does anyone else have something of hilarity or endearing that they've never been able to forget? For example:

PokeHeroes:
I'm doing someone's fields, and they have two Igglybuff, one named "Iggly Never Buff", and the other named "Iggly Always Buff"

There was a running joke between dad and I, where, whenever one of us hatched a Wynaut, the other said "360", because that was its corresponding dex number. We also referred to Mantyke as "Not Ditto" based on its mini sprite design.

Another thing of ours is, once, dad hatched a Pichu and a Cubchoo in the same Party, and he went "Pi-chu! Cub-choo! Woo-Woo!", as if he were a train.

Gible, due to dad yelling out "SHINY! SHINY! SHINY!" as he hatched a Random Shiny Mega from the Lab.

PokeFarm Q:
Ssomeone had in their Trainer Card for a long time:
"Wet and sticky makes mommy feel icky. Sticky and wet makes mommy upset"
I haven't seen that TC in a while. Don't know if they quit or changed it.
But it makes me chuckle every time I think of it.
So thank you, whoever, for continuously making me smile. ^.^

I was a Christian until 18. I actually haven't permanently nestled into a new Religion since, but doing a bit of reading up, and I think I may have found one that really suits me. It is a Nontheistic religious group, founded in 2013.

Seven Tenets
-One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.

-The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

-One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.

-The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo your own.

-Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.

-People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may have been caused.

-Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

This Religion "promotes egalitarianism, social justice, and the separation of church and state. Their stated mission is 'to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people'"

They have used "satire, theatrical ploys, humor, and direct legal action in their public campaigns to 'generate attention and prompt people to reevaluate fears and perceptions', and to 'highlight religious hypocrisy and encroachment on religious freedom'"

It considers marriage a religious sacrament that should be governed under the First Amendment's protection of religious liberty, and which should prevail over state laws.

Because the group regards inviolability of the body as a key doctrine, it also views all restrictions on abortion, including mandatory waiting periods, as an infringement on the rights to practice their religion.

They use their Mascot as a metaphor to promote pragmatic skepticism, rational reciprocity, personal autonomy, and curiosity. Their Mascot is thus used as a symbol representing 'the eternal rebel' against arbitrary authority and social norms.

Earlier, dad told me of a computer worm/virus going around via Facebook, which infects you just by visiting an infected person's profile. It steals your info, deletes your files, AND...makes all the icons on your desktop unclickable.

Now. If you know me, you know how paranoid and safe I am when it comes to links or anything like that that could potentially harm my computer. Welp...

Got back from Bingo with mom two hours ago, and just finished a long conversation with dad and Josh, and then went to my computer. I hovered over Chrome, but no hand appeared. I then attempted to move the icon. Nope.

No clue how it happened, but it appears I have fallen victim. Currently running my Virus programs. If they can't fix it, I'm going to have to restore my computer to a previous boot. Thankfully, that only takes like 20 minutes, plus a few hours to get everything updated and back to the way it was before this occurred. But I was due for another restore anyway, so this just kinda forces me to.

Update:
I'm in the clear. My computer has no problems. Dad, however, is going to be called names for quite some time.

Okay. I have a two-monitor system. The smaller of which is turned off unless I'm writing. While I was away from the house yesterday, dad took a screenshot of my desktop and set it as the screensaver for my primary monitor. He then moved all of the working icons to the secondary monitor.

Dad's a mix of proud and disappointed. He thinks if he'd waited a week to do this, I'd've been more confused and freaked out. But he is happy it only took me half an hour to discover his prank.

I'm doing the Bug Hatching Contest, and I call out: "Ditto!"

Dad: Click it. It could be a Bug.
Me: I think we tried that one time, and it gave -3 points.
Dad: So? It just means it wasn't a Bug, then. It might give you +30 points if it is pretending to be a Bug.
Me: *facepalm*
Dad: What? Isn't that worth a shot?
Me: You do it if you're so darn sure.
Dad: Are you kidding me? It's way too much work.
Me: Exactly. So shush-ed.

Lmao. One of my favorite quests from Diablo III is the Forlorn Farmer. Once you save his farm, you go down into his cellar, where you see the skeleton of his wife in a rocking chair. As you approach, her head falls off. After he says: "Oh. She's nodded off.", each time you click the Farmer, he says something.

I hadn't written anything since the 2nd. Managed to get 1,364 words in today.

After a conversation with someone on PFQ, my subconscious said "Hey! Add a sentient rat to your story!" And I was like. Uhm. I don't really like them, but okay. In my research, I have discovered the following:

-Rats are cleaner than expected, highly intelligent, and even affectionate
-Are social animals, so should be bought originally in a pair
-A group of rats, although also referred to as "colony", "plague", "pack", or "swarm" is actually called a "mischief"
-The various sounds of communication they make. One of which is called "bruxing" aka, the rapid grinding of teeth. Doing this can be a sign of either happiness or stress. It is up to the owner to read the body language correctly. And that, if you're going to pick one up while it is hissing, it is best to wear a glove or other protective gear, as it may attack you.

Overall, I think I might look into getting a pair of rats at some point in the future.

So I stopped into Mattawa Library after my dentist appointment. Avoided looking at any books because it took me four months to read the last six I checked out.

I'd just finished checking out and was preparing to leave when this older couple came in and returned some books. The title of one caught my attention: Skyborn. At first, I was thinking Star Wars. But nope. An epic fantasy series about Seraphim by David Dalglish.

With no hesitation, I asked if I could check those three out as well. The man was requesting the next three in the series. The librarian didn't have them, but since she knew at least two people would be interested, she ordered them. So by the time I'm ready, they'll have them in.

This was a great way to end my dentist trip. Went from wanting to throw up due to anxiety to excited to read a new series.

Me:
*goes to the store to get coffee creamer*
*sees Nesquik beside the creamers*
*calls dad*
Hey. Can I use Nesquik as creamer?

Dad:
...
...
...
I have no clue.

[Based on how long it took him to answer, I wish I could have seen his face just then]

Me: Should be the same thing right? I mean. They're both flavorings.

Dad: One is for coffee, and the other for milk. You can always try it in powder, and if that doesn't work, you can make milk with it and use that as creamer.

Me: Sounds good to me!

Long story short: Guess who has Hot Fudge Sundae Nesquik to try as creamer?! That's right. This weirdo.

As of eight years ago, I thought of trans as nothing more than crossdressers and attention seekers unless they went through the transition. I despised neo pronouns and couldn't bring myself to call someone by those terms or It/They/Them. Even though I used they/them, it was when I didn't know the preferred pronouns and not because that's what they wanted.

About five years ago, the trans community, for the most part, gained my support. I still didn't approve of access to the preferred bathrooms or the participation in sports of the opposite gender.

Three years ago, after the realization that I kept worrying about the rare case scenario, using the bathroom of choice gained my support. At this point, I also began to support women in men's sports because I felt that they had to work harder to get on the same endurance level.

Earlier today, I made a post on Facebook and it got me thinking.
If those of you who prefer to go by It/They/Them are really sure that you don't mind it then I will respect your wishes and refer to you by your preferred pronouns. The same goes for those who prefer neo pronouns. If that's what you want, then your desires will also be respected.

And because I have been disrespected so much for various things, I finally understand the anger and frustration when strangers refuse to acknowledge your preferences. For the longest time, I wondered why you got upset at strangers who you will never meet again and who chose not to respect you, but I think I do now.

It's because, if you begin to make exceptions for people you don't know, you'll start to do the same for people you do know. And then, you'll be back to letting everyone walk all over you. Not everyone is going to be like me. Who will listen and eventually come to understand and accept you. People are going to be jerks no matter what you do. So you know what? Demand that respect. Don't let anyone tear down what you have spent years building up. Let everyone see how proud you are of yourself.
