This is of dire importance! Much more important than air raid sirens, emergency radio broadcasts about attacks on rural communities and information on how to survive an earthquake in a shoddily constructed building.
The few of you who follow the progress on the Pokemon Azure story should probably go and start watching
since we're both posting chapters. That should clear up a bit of confusion someone has brought up with me. Well, I'd suggest following him anyways. He posts some interesting stuff every now and then... emphasis on "every now and then" >: D
Edit: For what it's worth, I'll link the chapter list he has set up as well. jake-the-menodix.deviantart.co…

April 1st

God damn it.
My sanity and self esteem have been hanging on by a thread over the past few weeks. I really don't know why; The thing that's caused those feelings is completely out of my control. Completely out of everyone's control really. But for some reason, there's a glimmer of hope today. Problem is, today is April 1st... sigh. I asked my glimmer of hope if he realised that today is April Fools day, and he said that he didn't. He said that if he did know today was April 1st, he would have chosen to tell me what he told me tomorrow or the day before.
I officially both hate and love this day at the same time. I'm not even sure what to believe at this point, but I'm erring on the side of hope because I'm a sucker like that.

A year goes by just like that

I was up at around 2 AM this morning when I realised that today is my daughter's first birthday. 3:16 AM, in fact. I remember the time very clearly... I felt that looking at the clock would help get me through it, make the pain end quicker. As I recall, this was not the case, as time and pain dragged on for an eternity.
I was afraid I was going to miss the big day, due to her being out in Colorado with her father. I was surprised though. The two of them road tripped across the country just to see me on this day, and they arrived at around noon. I guess that's why I had such a hard time getting in touch with them over the past few days.
It was good to see my precious little angel again after a few weeks of being without her. It was good seeing her father, too. Again, even though we see each other often online through video chats, I can't help but be overwhelmed with emotion when we're together in person these days. It's like a flashback to the better times in my life...
Anyways, before I start rambling, I should probably be getting back to the celebration (or lack thereof!). I'm just happy that the two of them will be moving back in with me now that the winter season is more or less over. He doesn't have to watch over his ski lodge out in the mountains anymore... he can finally be home with me.
...and the fat sacks of cash he's been raking in from managing that place.

Moving on with my life, it's time I started up a development blog for my pet project, Pokémon Azure/Amber. Strangely, I've been working on it recently, and I suppose being single may actually increase my time to work on it and my motivation! 
...at least until my children are old enough to walk/talk.
Since we've been working on this damn thing for over a year now with very little progress towards a working demo, I guess that's what we should work towards. So with that, we're finally gonna buckle down and get our act together and doing stuff in an orderly fashion instead of all over the damn place.
So! I'm going to provide a checklist here of things to get done. It'll be my daily reminder, since I look at my front page every day at least once.
-- Maps to finish/redo for a demo --
*DONE* City: Azure Ridge
City: Silvermist
Town: Blueleaf
Town: Blackwood Grove
*DONE* Route 301
*DONE* Route 302
Route 303 (Crystal Bay)
Route 304
Route 321
Route 323
Silver Ridge Clearing
Blackwood Forest East
Blackwood Forest North
Silver Ridge Cave
-- Other stuff --
Battle engine
Trainer definitions
Wild encounter definitions
Cutscenes
Music and sound effects
PC system
Daycare service system
I believe that's it. If there's anything you'd like to know, feel free to ask anyone below:
