My Pokemon Cards

     Finally, after I don't know how long, it is here now. Not a whole lot to say on this due to the fact the picture kind of speaks for itself. I have been collecting Pokemon cards since I was around six or seven. I didn't actually buy most of these from the stores, many of the cards were found at yard sells. I'm a bit of a cheapskate, even when it comes to things I like.

     I have roughly eight thousand cards now, it would be nice to have a lot more, but you can only find so many good deals. Believe it or not, I will go into more detail about this when I do my Collection post, but collecting/hording is a part of OCD, which a few weeks ago I knew I had some degree of it, but here lately I'v been wondering how bad it actually may be.

     To those who don't know much about Pokemon cards, these are actually sorted by the printed sets, and even sorted from oldest to newest prints. The larger stacks hold all my duplicates, while the many small ones are the sets. I didn't believe how close I was to completing sets until I sorted them out. I'm only missing five cards to a set that is worth a pretty penny. and ten in two other sets that are worth just about the same.

     One thing many don't realize is if you were to buy these in big lots or new from the store, you are more than likely to make, not much, but enough to at least cover the cost of what you bought them for. Depending on the cards even a profit. Sometimes the profit will be wide, sometimes it will be just a few pennies. Honestly it is like that with about any kind of card game, but I don't know anything out of the Pokemon world.

     I was hoping to put them in binders before this post, however I started feeling fairly claustrophobic. Mainly because I was setting on the floor for hours on end trying to sort the cards out by number. I ended where there is a missing set. I started from the top of the picture and the stacks only get larger from there on out.

     Buying new cards from the store, I'm unsure how long they have been doing this because I only recently got back into collecting, but within a pack of new cards, comes a online code for online cards. I have a little over a hundred codes meaning if I wanted to I could say I have closer to nine thousand cards, but that doesn't seem very legit. Also again I feel claustrophobic using/looking at my online cards, because I am limited to how I can sort them,    

Busy With World of Warcraft

     As I mentioned in my last post,  My Morning Friend, it's been a while since I have actually played World of Warcraft. I just got tired of it, and all the friends I played with stopped playing, so that just left me to farm items all the time. I don't enjoy meeting new people in the game, meaning I wont just do things like play versus player with a random person.

     I had also mentioned in my post Blogoholic what I had recently been doing in World of Warcraft. Basically I've been going around finding new gold making methods, which I haven't really spent a decent amount of time in any given location. More so just testing to see if loot is valuable, is so than how fast do the mobs spawn and so on.

     I only have enough screenshots for a little over sixty posts, which is good. If I ever get around to typing them up then I should be able to set the posts up to publish automatically. I'm hoping all is well for that so I can practically manage two blogs at once. Typically Once I start a new blog the others are just left to rot, and I will only update them every so often. I'm thinking of doing a post a day, mainly because I'm thinking of trying that with this blog as well.

     I'm getting enough ideas for posts that I should be able to just set down one day and type up a few weeks worth of posts, however, I'm sure there will be posts I delay to type one out for that day. I can't predict what the future holds for me. I'm sure there will be events happening along the way I would rather post than what was planned for that day.

     Anyways I enjoy making guides for World of Warcraft so much that I will probably be spending most of my day on the silly game. Not only are they guides, but they are guides no one else has covered, which is really nice. For me to find that many locations in the game as fast as I did, it's pretty inspiring for me nonetheless.

     The main reason I wanted to go over this post was because I look at things differently than other people, that is how I was able to find that many locations as fast as I did. I believe it has something to do with my anxiety of course. I can take a single item that can be crafted into several different things, and I will take my time, with a lot of patients and see is there is any profit to be had.

     Aside from being caught up in my game, I also got my cards all sorted, it took me a while, but I finally got them done, well... mostly anyways. They still need to bet put in binders, but that shouldn't take to long. I expect to have my Pokemon card collection post out tomorrow hopefully. As the second part to my senior year, I'm unsure at the moment. The thought of having a post over the same thing every week on the same day seems like a cool idea to me, and the only topic I can think of to do something like that is a weekly update.

     The bird from My Morning Friend ended up returning again this morning. It kept trying to get in my window since eight in the morning to I'd say around five this afternoon. I set my camera up to record it, though it seems to be a bit camera shy. Hopefully I got a small clip of the bird running into my window, but I haven't looked to see yet. 

Future Posts

     I didn't quiet get the whole day to think of other posts I might want to include in the future, I may have been a bit preoccupied with my game. Unlocked something just last night and wanted the day to gather materials to make a good amount of gold. That wasn't the only thing I'v done today though, I also went through my cards some more. I have most of the sets all singled out, but left the big stacks for later as I know they will take a while to completely sort.
 
     I know I didn't get to all my posts I said I would get to in my last article of future posts, but I'v been thinking I might try to do a post like this once a week, just to have a day to relax while I'm still releasing content. I could also, once I get enough stories and ideas to write about, I should be able to go ahead and type up many of the stories and set the blog to publish my drafts, I may or may not use that option, though it may come in handy from time to time.

     The posts I don't get to in the previous week I will add to the list of posts I plan on doing. There will probably be several repeat titles, but as there are only seven days in a week, and I'm only posting once a day. I can only cover a few of the stories, at least until my list stay small. If I end up getting enough content built up for a month or two I may up the posting to two posts a day, unsure of that though. Anyways here are posts to look forward to within not only the near but far future!

Things That Help: What helps me control my anxiety

Collection: I have more than just a card collection, so I figured I would just talk about collections in general

Trip to Pennsylvania: I will be heading to Pennsylvania here in a little under 2 weeks, why not blog about it?

Childish: Just a bit of a rant between "maturity" and "immaturity".

Again With the Snow

     As much as people think I like snow, I really don't. I'm the type of person after it accumulates once I'm ready for the 70 plus degree weather. Sunny day or not I don't really care. I just like the warm weather, and a lot of that has to do with my claustrophobia. During the winter I typically stay in more, and I don't very much like it, not one bit.

     I was looking at the weather the other day though and it appears the warmth is creeping it's way back. As windy as it has been though, I'm also not a big fan of wind. A lot of that has to do with just about everything I enjoy doing outside requires little to no wind. Some things can still be done while it's windy though not as enjoyable, like fishing on a boat. It's not fun finding a school of fish than a second later your boat is on the other side of the lake, especially if you a fishing a small tournament.

    I do however like telling people who I know hate the snow when there is snow in the forecast. Their reactions are funny, and it's also fun to tease. Watch though half way through summer and there will be people who are ready for winter because it's to hot. Something that I found interesting, my dad was over in Malaysia during their cold season. Well their cold season was just beginning anyways. It was roughly 80 degrees out while the people there were starting to wear coats. I'm not sure if the coats were winter wear as my dad stated or not, but I wasn't there.

     One thing to look forward to after winter this year, it's only a thought as of now, but this year is believed to be a long time coming, one of the best years for moral mushrooms. I know it's a bit of a lost art nowadays, but I am one that enjoys going out and looking for the stealth fungus. Even if I don't eat them, it is still fun. I like the outdoors and if I lived in an area where there were more orchards, vineyards, and berry patches, I would probably spend my whole day outside.

     I will probably be covering my Pokemon collection tomorrow, as it has been one of the biggest things that has helped me. I will be doing a post over how collection in general helps with anxiety, or at least how it helps mine. I spent most of my day today looking for more farming places on World of Warcraft, and sorting out my Pokemon cards once again. I was scheduled to work, but I'm guessing with the weather people didn't want to get out, so we were pretty dead today. I have the whole day off tomorrow as of right now, and I plan on hopefully getting the rest of my cards sorted... I have over seven thousand cards, probably a bit close to eight thousand now. It's a collection started from my childhood.
