Heh. I remember how I was told that we revolve around the sun "because it's large" so I immediately put the planets in order of size and tried to make them revolve around each other simultaneously. I think eventually I had us doing a weird figure-of-eight around Jupiter and the sun, lol.
That's SO FUNNY LMFAO. :D

Believe it or not, the Greeks believed that the earth was shaped like a cylindrical disk. For 1000 BC, that's A LOT closer than a square that conveniently fits on a map lol.

Inb4 "you're still short" jokes.
Ah, you beat me :p

Don't really remember many "I used to think"s

I think once thought that if I could somehow fit my NES cartridges into the floppy drive on my dad's work laptop that I would be able to play games with better graphics

Y'all be talking about exams and childhoods and jokes and stuff. //pfft

I don't even start my midterms until sometime after the winter break . . . there's still no snow here. It's snowing, but there's no snow on the ground. It makes me sadface. :C

When I was little, I remember . . . being stupid. (There were a lot of strange things going on in my head back then that I can't remember, lol.)

I'm hoping to get some Skyrim Dlc for Christmas, plus get my Xbox LIVE Gold renewed, lol. I just found my Skyrim game and got Hearthfire, so I have ways of remaining occupied until that time comes, lol.
Now I just have to worry about my boyfriend, because he has this annoying habit of spending money on me. @[email protected] I'm going to have to go buy him a bunch of presents to keep up, lol.

Let's see...

I used to think that "broken heart" and "heart attack" were one and the same, namely, I thought both pertained to cardiac arrest. Likewise with "passed out" and "passed away." When some of my classmates fainted due to heat exhaustion and the teacher said they passed out, I thought they were taking things calmly considering someone just died, lol.

And related to Pokemon, I thought that the NPC in the Pokemon League in Blue who said, "If you lose [to the Elite Four], you have to start all over again!" meant that if I lost I would have to start the game all over again from Pallet Town xD

wow, lol. I think if that were true and you did have to restart from Pallet town Id have given up on Pokemon. Ive never gotten terms like that confused or at least I dont remember.

I actually thought this too. XD

I remember challenging the league for the first time and going into another room in complete silence, totally focused in, because I thought it was all over if I lost. XD

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that, lol. I remember level grinding to like level 73 or 74 just to make absolute sure I wouldn't lose, and that might have been how I started becoming a compulsive level grinder in RPG's in general.

Even if that were true, though, presumably you'd have saved the game before setting off into your first E4 battle? Or were you one of those kids that just lived life on the edge, man?

I never solo, cos I could end up getting walled by a certain Pokemon if I did.
Gone forever for personal reasons.

If it's not on the edge it isn't fun. ;)

Am I the only person that likes to be slightly under-leveled? It adds a bit of much-needed challenge if you're a few levels below the gym leaders. Usually don't bother grinding in Pokemon games.

^ I feel like this is why I stopped enjoying Pokemon games. I tried to be over-prepared for every gym and grinding was boring, breezing through gyms was boring, and just made the whole game very.... boring. ;7;

Perhaps I will go back to my, "get through all the gyms as fast as possible" method I employed when I was 10 years old...

I used to try and solo with my starter, but now I'm trying to play a bit more strategically. It seems more fun using type advantages and training a full team that you've built with strengths and weaknesses in mind than to just wing it all on one Pokemon.

I usually played with a balanced team and such, but only of my favorites. So I'd drop members of my team periodically until I got all the way through to the Elite Four, and then I'd put together my final team.

No one ever touches my Pokemon games without my permission.

My team in B2 right now is Dewott, Flaaffy, Growlithe, Pidove, Ivysaur (traded in from black) and Cubone (traded in from black). Maybe not my favourites but I don't mind using them. I might swap my Flaaffy for a Pikachu/Raichu and my Pidove for a Pidgey or Starly.
