And my answers...
GENERAL SECTION
1. I usually come on TPM... but that's until I get bored here, too. Then I branch out to Fanfiction sites, until finally winding back up at TPM.
2. Yes, actually. I fondly recall punching walls, pounding my own skin, and slamming doors on various appendages... *sighs* Those were the days...
3. *see answer to question 1* Usually at about 2 A.M., when no one's on except a few Aussies.
4. Talking to my old g/f usually did the trick... I'd ask a simple question, and two minutes later I'd hear, "Oh, fine..." Those were the most boring conversations of my life. XD
5. I'm certain of it. I could feel my life force draining from me during a lot of the conversations I mentioned in answer #4.
POKEMONIZED SECTION
6. Usually while chasing the Legendary Dogs of GSC, though I also hate strolling through the Victory Road(s) and levelling up for big battles...
7. Once, yes. He was mad at me for about a week afterward, though, so I never, ever did it again.
8. Heck, I think regular Monopoly is boring! And with all those ways for players to come back from certain defeat... I still have nightmares about some of those fateful dice rolls.
9. I never had the pleasure, though I'm sure I would have thoroughly enjoyed one.
10. Yeah; I have a whole file on Microsoft Word of early Pokemon. I quit after Bulbasaur though, since it was... erm... pathetic. Hey, you try making Pokemon smileys!![]()
