I know, right? Prime 3 is one of my favorite games.

It's just been one of those weeks where I keep asking myself, "Is writing even worth it?" And literally anything else sounds more appealing.

On the bright side, Pokemon for Switch was (kind of) announced. Now all Pokemon fans can join hands and be happy. 8)

I should be doing anything but writing this week (three things I need to be writing for work I haven't started LOL) but with the awards on I am hoping to update a very old story in time to be considered - fingers crossed!

 

[diamondpearl876]

Actually, that's another good question. "Is working and adulting really worth it?"

I'll let you know if I figure out the answer.

 

[AceTrainer14]

I vote no. My dream in life is to marry a really rich person, preferably male but I'm not that fussy, who will support my hobbies so I don't have to work. Doesn't even have to be that rich - just enough to pay rent and pay for one of those robotic vacuum cleaners.

 

[canisaries]

i vote yes to work because i already feel like a massive burden to society and actually being one is not going to help that

I'm not sure at which point my characterization started to become some kind of 'pretentiousness' war.

A squadron of orphaned ducklings has got to be somewhere in the top ten saddest little sights you can easily see. I came across five of them today, still in that yellow-and-brown fluffball stage. They were beginning to freak out, I think, swimming aimlessly in the shadow of the canal bank and making their urgent, piping little pip-pip-pip-pip-pip! call

 

[canisaries]

dead birds? i have those too, a nest fell from the maple next to our house and now there's a bunch of dead, featherless hatchlings in the side of the driveway. or by now there's really only their skins. i don't know what made them flatten so drastically overnight but it spooks me.

 

[Beth Pavell]

I'm almost positive the mother bought it. They won't last long either, by themselves. The other active family started with about eight ducklings, and now down to two

And it was probably insects scavenging, I should think.

So school ends tomorrow for me. I'm excited for summer!

 

[CrystaI]

Good news: I'm off to Japan for this upcoming summer!!!

I haven't planned what I wanted to do nor anywhere specific I wanted to go. But Akihabara, Odaiba, Shinjuku, Minato-ku, and of course the topmost: Pokemon Center! are definitely on my sightseeing list.

All this talk of summer is making me a tad jealous giving how cold and rainy it is here - all the misery of winter without the joy of snow.

 

[canisaries]

well, here it's more like... 30% of the time it's 20+ C and beautifully sunny, and 60% of the time it's gloomy, cloudy/rainy and suffocatingly wet. so i'm only having 30% great time weather wise.

What is it in the remaining 10% of the time?

I'd take cold and rainy. Maybe it's because I don't go outside and feel the breeze as much as I used to, but summer after summer, it just gets worse and worse feeling despite the seasonal average being roughly the same.

In short. Hot. Bad.

 

[Beth Pavell]

Yay! Summer! Blue skies!! School's finished!! Beach episodes!!! Sleepless nights! Swarming teenagers. Hayfever ...

 

[Misfit Angel]

Blue skies!!

Location: England

Which one is it?

 

[Nitro Indigo]

@Emma Prescott Here in the UK it's either too hot or too cold; there is no middle ground. =P

 

[Beth Pavell]

We seem to be getting all our weather from France lately. It's part of the exit deal
