Rookiebeotch Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Wednesday. Skipped morning because I woke up just in time to leave for work and then immediately get pulled over by the cops. 15 minutes late for work. Evening horizontal. Ramped to 4x3 then a high rep set. Supersetted paused rows during the ramp, but realized that my hams were still shot. Flapped the scaps instead. I don't seems to be getting much effect out of the paused rows anymore. Time to switch it up.

I don't want to, but I have nothing left but to hate them for it. I wish I hadn't wasted 6 years of my life trying to make that place work. I feel stupid for trying for so long. I have had more than enough data to tell me that it was a bad investment from early on. I named my Jolteon: 'Pikachu', to fuck with the kids who fight over the brewery PokeGym across the street. I felt like naming all my fighting pokemon 'Pikachu', but I had to name my Dragonite: 'Donald Trump'. So that lead to my Vaporeon being 'Pool Fart' and my Pigeot being 'Red Eyebrows'. I'm staring at my Weepinbell and I want to name it 'DiscardCondom', but I don't want to get banned. 3 Quote Current Challenge March 2016 Second Challenge First challenge, Battle Log Link to comment
