I've got a problem I need to bitch about [v3]

Whoever decided to make playing recorders required ought to be dragged into the street and shot 16 times.

...Are you okay?

Better now, but seriously, fuck the recorder.

And pickleball, while we're at it.

*had to play the recorder in elementary school, but wasn't required to play an instrument after that*

I still don't know why they make us learn the recorder. It's like a flute and a whistle mixed together in horrible ways.

Also, I played the saxophone for awhile in the school band. Badly.

It's not really so much as me playing the recorder as my brother playing it. He just blows in it and it's annoying.

At least it's easier to play than the clarinet. I can handle the upper set of keys without too much trouble, but I always squeaked horribly on the lower set. Eventually I stopped blowing and just pressed the keys roughly when I was supposed to. So far 6^th grade band remains the only class I stopped putting effort in to the point I effectively dropped out by fourth quarter by not attending class.

A boss I was facing died because of Poison damage before I could kill him using his subordinate!

I realized that I hadn't beaten Black Tower...after I ported all of my good Pokémon to X.

One of my upper front teeth just went bad or something. I can't tell if this is pain I'm feeling or numbness. Perhaps the worst part is that my family can't afford a dentist so I have to suck it up and pay for it later.

Definitely not numbness...

My mom has diagnosed my pain as a gum injury. That doesn't make it hurt any less. ;-;

Law of Trade Satisfaction: Whenever I procure the Pokémon needed to satisfy a trade offer, the Pokémon I was offering up for trade for whatever I wanted will be traded.

Seriously, this happened twice now. At least. Thankfully, the Reshiram I got from it - Slashranoi which screws with the naming themes I have for the other two - is pretty good; while she has lowered Special Attack due to being Jolly, it still sits at a pretty good 216 and has a good movepool and a few PP Ups applied. Plus, lowered Sp. Attack doesn't matter when she's in Kyurem who I finally got around configuring to match with Black Kyurem's physical oriented nature.

The store I'm working at is getting more and more hectic every day....
