*is being a total dork*

[elementalhero]

Yes, this is a post entirely about my dorkery for the week.

I started replaying Pokemon Silver.  I....don't know how this happened.  I just woke up, went to pitching with my sadistic pitching coach lady (who is very sadistic), came home, and suddenly scrounged up my GBA and my copy of Pokemon Silver, and started playing.  I really just don't know what's wrong with me.  I had rehabbed myself and everything.  Already, I want to be playing right now.

Also, I started reading Animorphs about five or six months ago.  Can I just say that these are the greatest books in the history of ever?  They are everything I have ever wanted:

--Six amazing, well-developed, awesome characters that make me fangirl over all of them
--Equal narrative time with each of them (each book is written in first-person POV from one of the six)
--Body-snatching aliens that are taking over the world
--A parental reveal that was actually surprising and touching, for all that it could have been such a cliche
--Mature themes of war and morality in books written for fifth graders
--They're long enough to satisfy, and short enough to be compulsively readable, like candy.
--MARCOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~
--TOBIASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~~~
--RACHELLLLLLLLLLLLL~~~~~
--JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE~~~
--CASSIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~
--AX, YOU GIANT DWEEEEEEEEEEEEB~
--MOSTLY MARCOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~
--BUT ALSO TOBIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS~~~~~
--ET CETERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~

Somebody dork with me, pleeeeeeeeease?  I HAVE ONLY READ UP TO NUMBER 28, PLZ TO NOT BE SPOILING PAST THAT, KTHXBAI

ASDK;LAFSDJKLFSDAJKLADFS I USED TO READ THOSE! I READ THEM BACK IN LIKE 5TH/6TH/7TH GRADE! I HAVE A HUGE BOX FULL OF THEM IN MY ATTIC! THEY ARE MADE OF AWESOME!

I stopped reading around volume 30 because they started to get kind of blah, though YMMV. OMG AX IS THE BEST AND HIS VOLUMES WERE ALWAYS MY FAVES. AND RACHEL IS BADASS TO THE MAX. AND CASSIE IS ADORABLE AND JAKE AND TOBIAS ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO OUT-ANGST EACH OTHER AND MARCOOOOO I WANT TO MARRY BECAUSE HE IS SO EFFING HILARIOUS OMG.

Also have you heard of the Andalite Chronicles/Hork Bajir Chronicles/etc? They're sort of like backstory/extras and I think they're some of the best books in the series. SO READ THEM ALSO.

Oh man, I need to reread those.
