Hi amiga! Not seeing you for days and I thought I might ask if things are going okay! :D

Hope you're doing well! Amigo out!

'Just' a dental issue. One of my fillings was loose and caused me three days of blistering agony (like someone was continuously stabbing me in my jaw/gums) starting Tuesday last week. Then Friday the pain suddenly eased up considerably. I was taking painkillers like skittles up to that point xD As for the weekend after that I pretty much just napped all the way through to catch up on lost sleeps (basically pulled like 2 hours of sleep a night during those days, so had some catching up to do).
Anyway, had the dentist today. Was just a piece of the filling that broke off, the rest was still intact, so she just 'drilled away' (probably not the right wording) the small bit that got exposed.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday were definitely not fun. Decided Thursday to just focus on pain management and turtle up to ride it out like I usually do when in physical pain. I already noticed Wednesday I was lacking focus from lack of sleep when I did my normally daily PC round, so I figured I'd just leave PC be till I was not so sleep deprived anymore. I pretty much just lounged on the couch all day the entire week outside of still working half-days.
So, apologies for the sudden p00f. But I was focusing on riding this out. next to no pain now (more of an irritation than actual pain at this point tbh) and back to my normal levels of only light sleep deprivation xD

Yes...it really was. It was a normal morning, then suddenly there was gunfire going off in a hallway. (as this occured, a girl was shot and did not live). I ended up locked in a classroom. It's been 3 years. I'm doing okay anyways. I've tried to be strong and move forward, an occasional nightmare here and there...but it's all good.

We didn't get to explore florida too much. I would have liked to have visited a beach. We did go to Universal and I fell in love with the Virtual Reality rides. Epcot was nice too. I didn't expect I would enjoy it so much, despite not riding a single thing.

AEW is worth trying, it gives me a ruthless aggression vibe. I've seen a post floating the internet stating "There's an entire generation of fans who are now grown up who only witnessed WWE in the PG era. They will never understand true wrestling, do not waste time speaking with them". It was a nasty condescending post. Like there isn't an entire library of videos and archives. I unliked every page that was sharing it around.

I always dread clicking my thread the next day (or week) and seeing 0 replies. It doesn't happen 98% of the time, but when it does, it stings quite a bit. I'm fine with even 1 reply, but seeing 0 does hurt.

Thank you so much Taylor, for thinking of me in my sick hour and for the birthday greetings too! You are an angel. Here's to you!

*crosses fingers for Ash to persevere and sends additional hugs*

Hope you're just being kept busy and it's nothing serious, but your absence in FG is highly noticeable.... so, *hugs* just to be safe =3

Me & Cooler doing Kabutops was almost as if I was being green-lit to go do it by something. Not a firm believer of fate, but that was one heck of a coincidence xD

Like, I noted down when the 3 months would have passed. It was near the end of the month so I was just like, let's just finish the month and do it on the first of September, what's a couple more days.
I go to the VPP section to go make the inactive tag request and see the news announcement. I was gonna poke cooler for a Relicanth since fossils couldn't Tag Team, and Relicanth is nicknamed the 'Living Fossil' in some PokeDex entry. Figured it was a pretty good substitute. Then I saw the announcement and was just like 'okay scrap that I'm poking him for Kabutops now' xD

Well, I do want to raise an Alolan Sandslash and a Galarian Darmanitan at some point since I'm attempting to obtain all Ice types.
I don't see either in your stats. We don't need to do em now though.
I definitely do need to raise me a Galar Rapidash at some point, which I feel could be a good Tag for us (I feel fairly confident we both love it). I don't see it in you stats either. If you wanna do this one I'm basically buying a stone right away xD

There are definitely also normal mons we could raise that I do not see in your stats (hopefully didn't overlook them.... glared through your boxes multiple times xD):
Delibird, Girafarig, Grumpig, Florges, Medicham, Meowstic, Musharna.
If you don't mind NFE's we could also raise an Amaura (I already have an Aurorus yes, but Amaura is so dang cute I kinda want both xD) or any NFE form of the mons above ^.^

This is all still future talk ofc. Just listing options for the future ^.^
Maybe you see something of interest 😉

Well I have enough points for either a Galar or Alola stone.
Also got the G-max band so could by a candy too.
just mentioning it as it will probably expand the options for what we could potentially raise that you don't already have ^.^
Though that's still gonna be a bit away as we are now both in active Tags =3
(iirc you were still in an active Tag Team)

I just thought I'd poke cooler first to drag him further into the VPP rabbithole 😈
xD

Hi Ash!
Just poking you to say you and me need to team up for a tag too some time.... =3

Thank you. No worries on the time. Never expected to medal in the first place, much less win a first place medal.

Hi! I've only used PC on mobile so I'm just now noticing this on the desktop, I love how the cursor changes to a lantern when I'm hovering over your flair! ♡

In response to the other message, that local show was the only sort of wrestling related event I've ever attended. I often wonder about the security at these WWE events. As someone who lived through a school shooting, it's always in the back of my mind at these large venues. I loved Disney World, but I was so uncertain on the way there. It was a great time though

I have gotten more into the fandom again. I watched AEW this week and Summerslam. In case you haven't gotten to watch it I won't spoil it. But I really enjoyed Edge vs Seth Rollins. Anything Cena related is nostalgic to me. I think he's one of the most underrated wrestlers. He's never been bad on the ring or on the mic.

I feel like if I make a thread related to celebrities it might get pushed into entertainment and media. I usually don't get any replies over there, so I try to steer away. Sometimes the only reason I make threads is because there isn't anything new to post in, so I'm like "might as well make something myself". I do like the new marvel logo you have on your thread.

i just realized hovering your flair turns the cursor into a lantern and it's so cute aaa

This was really cool if you didn't catch it. I don't think I had ever seen an audience so loud, people were in tears.

Speaking of women wrestlers, I went to a small local show and got to meet Lita around my 14th birthday. She was with Ron Simmons of the APA. Embarrassingly...I actually didn't know who they were at the time. But they were super friendly.

Lita gave me a high five, and Ron Simmons actually spoke to me. He was like "Hey fella, thanks for coming to the show. Hope you enjoyed it".

Something tiny but a very cherishable memory.

Almost makes me want to make a thread about meeting celebrities. (Except...I feel like I have already made it before).

My love for wrestling started as a little kid when my older brother purchased wrestlemania and I watched Shawn Michaels try to end the Undertaker's streak. I watched wrestling before that, but it was the moment that really hooked me.

I wouldn't turn down a good match, but I also think that there is more to wrestling than gymnastics. Unfortunately I was too young and didn't see a prime Rock or even Kurt Angle. (Only matches I saw of the two were Rock vs Cena and Kurt vs Baron Corbin). However using the WWE network/Youtube I watched them, and they had such unique styles. Kurt would stay aggressive, constantly using grabbles and actual amature wrestling techniques. Rock is so good at acting, I feel like watching his matches are like watching an action movie.

I'm not sure what you mean by WWE being sexist, but then again I haven't been a regular fan for about 3 years. I thought the woman's division was doing quite bell with Sasha, Bailey, Charlotte and Becky.

CM Punk is heavily rumored to be returning to AEW in a week or two. Chris Jericho looks like the happiest he has been in his entire life. His smile is so wide in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC7ZuHf9R5I).

Not to bother you, but you probably figured out from my scattered posts I was a fan of watching wrestling.

I have a controversial take on wrestling that doesn't quite sit well with most of the fanbase. I feel way more invested in the character part of wrestling, and I don't care much about how good the wrestler does in the ring. That's pretty much why I started feeling turned off from pro wrestling as a whole. It seems to have become the dominant opinion that the wrestling part should take priority over the wrestlers having a personality, and it bores me. I hear Smackdown is pretty good right now with Baron Corbin, Roman, Cena (my childhood wrestler). I hope summerslam can renew my interest as a fan.

My current favorite wrestler is Pac (Neville) so I still watch the AEW pay-per views just so I can see him. He's so good at everything, from being a mean heel to being entertaining all the time.

At the same time, the fanbase also gets really nasty about AEW. Like, all over my social media feeds people are trashing it. Enjoyment is subjective, the insults are just unnecessary and almost make me feel bad for trying to be a fan.

Every word of it is true and more. By the way I see what you're trying to do over in clubs btw, responding to my request backstage. Your presence is noticed and I'm grateful for it. If I can return the favor in anyway let me know. Thank you.
