    SO the way lockpicking works in real life is similar to how video games portray is but not quite. You know how in movies they always use bobby pins? It's because of the shape of the edges of bobby pins resemble how the pins look inside of doors and there was a time when that would actually work. However locks have been remade to prevent you from being able to use bobby pins. Nowadays you need a pick and a tension wrench. So first you want to stick the tension wrench in the keyhole. Again this is similar to the bobby pin shape because if you'll recall bobby pins have a flat bottom. Then you have to test which way the lock turns to unlock, usually you can tell by turning the tension wrench and feeling how much give each side has. The one with more give is the way you need to turn. Then apply slight torque to the lock through the tension wrench, this is to allow you to find the stubborn pin with the pick. Repeat these steps after pushing up each pin and there you go!

    *Sigh*

    I tried to donate blood again today and as they were drawing blood for the iron test, I was feeling a tiny bit light-headed again so they decided I wasn't up for donating today. I really don't get it. I have bled out WAY more blood than that from just normal injuries with absolutely no problem at all, but it's something they do that causes that light-headedness. My guess is the way they try to vigorously squeeze and force it out of my finger is what causes it. Whenever I get a cut or something like that, I don't press and squeeze as hard as I can to get blood and guts all over the place. Whenever they do it, it's like "ugh, how much more do they need" and "do they really have to do that" and it kind of goes downhill from there.

    They also had me as the last person on the list for today, so I wouldn't be able lie down as it would take too much time and it looked like they were already wrapping things up for the day. Ah well, I at least tried.

    That sucks, Neo. It probably was because of the squeezing and the fact that you weren't lying down. That was poor of them, you should always lie down when giving blood.

    Yeah, that's the issue I ran into last time. They had me sitting up at first and I was not really feeling that great and it wasn't until they had me lying down did things feel better. This time around, it kind of felt like they were rushing through it.

    Eh, I'll try again some other time.

    Yeah don't feel bad there's always next time. Plus they weren't doing what they were supposed to be doing so.

    I haven't tried donating blood yet myself. Being so thin I've felt I would get light-headed too easily. My brother is bigger and even he couldn't make it through his first time. I've been stuck with so many needles who knows xD. Maybe I'll have to just try it one day

    The time is upon us...

    I have been having Lugia's song blasted on repeat lately. I think this obsession has reached unhealthy levels.

    *shrugs* meh

    You do know there's a very specific reason why Lugia is not a water type right?
