Hello, Pokefreak219 here celebrating my 1000th post... Sorry. My 1,001st post. Since I accidentally made a post before posting this, it will be 1 more than 1,000. That took me awhile didn't it? I guess I'm just not a boards kind of person. Nor writing really... So lets make a really long thread since I'm not good at writing! Much fun! Anyways, I am here to celebrate it by telling you some life events Highly doubt 1/2 of you reading this will really care about what has happened in my life, but oh well, you get to hear it.

I was born on May 4th, 1999 with the name Bayleigh. Its a little bit of an odd name for a girl, right?  And my name is uniquely spelled unlike the name Bailey or Bayley. Anyways, I was born in Melbourne, Fl. I wasn't exactly surrounded by family down there, but I can assure you I had more family around when I lived there then where I am now. At only 2 years I had to move up north into the cold arctic that is called Pennsylvania. Now it isn't as cold as I make it seem, but it does get pretty cold compared to other states (Not Alaska, lol). We drove up here with a car full of stuff, including my beloved cat, Maggie, who I still have in my life.

I will be honest in saying that his next life event will be short and is questionable when it happened since I do not remember a thing from when I was 4 and younger, but I have a few things to prove it happened. On a trip with my grandfather we were in a RV traveling around and sometimes used to go out and catch fish when we were down in Florida, and at some point or another I had slipped in the bathtub and was taken to the emergency room knowing that the cut on my side was probably as big as my side back then. I have the story, a picture from then and a scar on my side where it was stitched up, which I can still feel.

Other than that, I had a pretty good life up till I was 5-6 years old. I had many pets by that time, which made me develop a love for animals. Including my dog Xander (Zander) who was just the best. My schooling was semi-good and was doing well. During that time I had started to wear glasses due to bad eyesight, but on the later of things, I found out my grandfather was dying of kidney cancer.  Me and my family tried our best to visit Florida as much as we could until the inevitable took place, in which it did when I was 6 years old, and I will probably never forget that day either.  After newly moving from a house to an apartment, we had gotten rid of a bunch of stuff or left it behind for the new owner. Along with that we were only allowed 2 pets, so we had Maggie and Xander. Along with a new place to live, I had a new school. I was just starting 1st grade. Maybe a week or two into starting school and we barely had anything unpacked, I came home to what I thought would be a normal day. I walked into my parents bedroom to see both of them sitting on their beds. They had told me my grandfather had past away after exactly 1 year of fighting this cancer. Now since I was extremely close to my grandfather, I did not take this lightly, and I don't to this day. I ran to my room sobbing and later that day we packed up to visit my grandmother for a little bit until his funeral days later. He had wanted to be cremated and to have his ashes spread on his son's grave. I was supposed to have 2 uncles, but one of them died after birth. I got to see him one last time, dead on a silver gurney. I would say this effected my life a little bit

Between the grades of 1st to 4th were hard considering. I had always had troubles with English since 1st and they have not gotten any better as time progressed. I also have a little bit of a problem with the letter's b and d when writing, getting confused often so I was tested for Dyslexia, which I don't have. Let me explain real quick before I go on, I have always seemed to listen to my friends than to myself at times where if they tell me to do something , I will do it regardless, like there is no voice in my head saying its wrong. At least half of the time anyways. Anyways, after starting at a new school, I was trying to make friends. Or at least what you could call friends, I don't really call them that now. They manipulated me to do things at times and I also got in trouble. Along with that I cried randomly thinking about my grandfather's death and saw the guidance consular daily. On top of that, I was bullied on things that I liked at the time, which all these interests where given to me by "friends" who seemed to be fine as much a bullying goes. This lowered my self-esteem a little and as far as emotional damage goes, I say I had some. But I'm sure people have been through worse. Around 3rd grade I slipped and fell down a flight of stairs leaving a bump on my head and just one huge bruise from my shoulders down to my legs, lets just say after that I became very cautious of stairs.

Also in between 1st and 4th, I believe when I was 7, I found out I have a step-brother. Currently he is 24 and who knows where, nor do I much care. Why,you ask? Well although it was earlier on in my life that I met him, He had an effect on my life later on. At first he was a great brother, I loved him so much since I always wanted a sibling instead of being an only child. Few year later, things changed. Mostly, he became a stereotypical teenager, which I have learned to never become. He hung out with his friends more, talked less to me and got in trouble a lot, putting  burden over my family. After awhile, he up and left. My father at the time was paying child support to the birth mother to be able to have him in our lives, then he left leaving us to keep paying until I was around 10 years old. In between then and now, he has come in and out of my life multiple times saying that he had changed, and he wanted to become better other than getting in trouble with the police every once an awhile. And every time he has left without saying a word and has lied multiple times to us. Last I saw of him was back near Christmas time of 2012. Although I love him, he's my family, I honestly would not care if I ever saw him again in my life. He has lied to us and hurt my family in so many ways, I just could not list them all. I am so done with him going in and out and destroying my life. If you were to ask me anymore about him, I will gladly answer what he has done, but normally I would never talk about him, he brings more emotional pain than most things.

Half way through 4th grade my mother came up with the idea "Hey! Wouldn't it be fun to be Cyber schooled?". Cyber school being similar to home school, just over the computer, if you are not aware. She told me if I didn't like it, I could go back, so I agreed to it. Am I still in it? Yes. Do I like it much? Not anymore. Can I do anything about it? Not a chance. Now lets talk about my school life since majority of it is spent on a computer and I basically explained 1st-4th.

The second half of 4th grade in a cyber school was alright. Going into 5th I made 1 friend, who I still have to this day. That year I switched schools to another cyber school called Agora. I was in this school for 2 years and my social skills slowly deteriorated as I stayed inside more and more and talked to people less. After the 2nd year I applied for another cyber school, then as we changed our minds and went to a STEM based school. The reason was is I started to show what subjects I seemed to be more fond of, which was obviously Math and Science considering I did Pre-Al and Alg 1 in 7th grade and 2 Science classes in 7th with a few more months to spare. I kept my status as being in a high school class for Math, but sadly I'm only in my grade science after that year. I have taken honors in almost everything and got it done with a pretty decent grade

After a year in that school, you can guess, we switched again. But I guess for different reasons. Then again we probably would've switched anyways even if the school wasn't closing. Honestly, the school kinda screwed me over. It wasn't that I didn't get good grades in whatever I was taking, but after state testing occurred, we started to notice why some families was happy that it shut down. Now, you think that state testing is mandatory, right? Apparently that is wrong since out of the so many times we went back and fourth with the state and my school, we figured it would never happen since both of them kept on saying to ask the other. Needless to say, I didn't take any testing in 8th grade. So here we are in the school I am in currently. This school is a nice school and the first school to actually have a IMing system so you can I'M other students and teachers and actually make friends since I'm in the North eastern part of the state and usually what you could call "Get-together's" were more in the South western part of the state. We're not driving that far to meet people. Needless to say, from when I started going to school until now (10th grade), I have been in six different schools and moved seven times in the process.

Throughout my life I have had many depression problems because of a mixture of low self esteem, very little friends and encouragement, being pushed to do better than I could do, and high anxiety/nervous issues. In result it made me never smile.

But... Let me now tell you something about how vizzed has effected me. Although it took some time, vizzed has brought up my sprites with all the nice people on here and how great they are. I have made so many friends on here through out the years. Vizzed has slowly made me a happier person, and I thank vizzed for that. To think, when I first started, it was because I wanted to race a friend in who could complete Pokémon Red first. Ironically, we never finished. But that has lead to great things and with how amazing this site is. It's also so amazing how time can change so many things. I remember when me, singelli, mrfe and play4fun were all just trusted members together. Now look at us. Although I may have become staff just recently, it's still great to look back thinking about how things have changed and compare it to now.

Speaking of staff job, it's been really great being able to help the site and to be a staff member. Although at times I wonder "How in the world did people think I was good enough for the job?", I try prove it every day with why I'm staff and do my best to do my job. Although I may overwork myself sometimes with trying way too hard *cough* 340 CP actions in one day *cough* But it's what I love doing. And if anyone is to blame with doing way more work than I should, It's me. Doesn't mean it's not good though ;P

The last thing I would like to talk about is... I don't even know how to put this into words. Great grammar I have, much knowledge I know of words Okay, in all seriousness, The last thing I would like to talk about is this great guy. His name you might know, his name is Sonicthehedgehog57. This is more in between a life event and a part of my vizzed life so... I kind of left it for the end. I hate this guy so much... If today was opposite day. But since it's not, I love him. We have been dating for the past 3 months since yesterday and 5 months since we met. And if it was not for vizzed, I wouldn't have met such a loving person like him, who has changed my life for the better and honestly is the most important thing and the best thing to happen to me. Thank you vizzed.

Summon's... I guess I should do them for the people who I've told this thread about and are interested and mixed in with very good friends of mine on here.

You guys are my best friends on this site so. That's all for now, if you're interested in learning more about me than life events, you can look at my profile bio. Thank you for reading.

Sorry for stealing your 1000th post. =P

But 1001 > 1000. 1001 = 7 * 11 * 13.

I think I better stop before I get mauled or something. =P

It's weird to think it's already been this many months.

I'm glad I got to know you Pokefreak. You're someone worth knowing. =)

Wow....what a tragic story that was...similar to my story, in every way....I'm glad vizzed help you as well as it did for me poke. And I hope to get to know you more too as well. Because you are indeed a strong person, and a great friend as well. ^^

Congrats Pokefreak on your 1001st post!

Congrats on your 1001th post Pokefreak! You just posted your lifestory here, and I knew that you are on a cyber school, but I didn't know a lot of other things. Especially that you're dating sonicthehedgehog57, as he's one of my friends on here and one of then nicest dudes around too. I may have spoken with you only once, but you're a nice person and I can see that you have improved here since you joined. You even managed to become a staff member! And if you're able to do that many cp actions, you have to be good

If I would be on the Minecraft server, I bet I would know you even better now, but since I'm not there, I'm just happy that I have talked to you once here

*Tries to piece together what EM is doing*

Who, you have a nice name, and congrats on making it all the way to 100 posts and beyond. Keep posting and you will be at 2002 before you know it and soon enough you will be somewhere near me.

The feels!!! *passes out* In all seriousness, congratulations on you 1,000 posts! The lifestory there, I can relate in a few ways. I never know 90% of that, so it was good to know. x3 Vizzed seems to make everyone's life better eh? Keep up the good work, both in posting and if Staff actions.

Hey, DON'T STEAL MY 1001 POSTS THING....

Nah just kidding. Congratulations. I felt good too when i had my 1000 posts.

awww.. I finally got to read through all this and it made me sniffle towards the end. You're such a sweet person! I wish you, me, mrfe, and play4fun could be as close as we used to be, but i guess things change and we've all been incredibly busy.  It's pretty awesome to get to know you a bit better through this thread of yours.  

I didn't know that there was such a thing as cyber schooling, though I never thought of it as an impossibility, either.  How much does it cost, and why don't you like it so much any more?  When you say you've been to six schools, do you mean physical schools AND public schools?

I too struggle to socialize, though it's for different reasons.  I went to public school, but I might as well not have.  Don't feel down about it.... it can be worked on. Right now, it's one of the things I'm working on for myself.

In other news.... congrats on 1k!  I'm so glad you came back to vizzed. I thought you were never going to come back and I kept asking mrfe about you because it made me really sad. I kept wondering if we had done something to push you away.  lol To come back AND make 1k posts?  I'm so happy it seems like you're sticking around this time!

Much love!

   Conglatulations on the 1001 posts, Bay! And great post in general. I'm bad at responding to posts like this, so sorry that I can't put out the jumbled thoughts in my mind down in this post the way I'd like to.  

   Anyways, I am so glad I got to know you here and how it has helped you, and although we haven't talked as much since you came back, but I can't tell you how happy I am that you did come back, and I hope you're around for a long time. And it was awesome to learn more about you, and I heard about you being home schooled, but never about the cyber school. That sounds very interesting, and I'm surprised it hasn't come up when even being around other home schooling people. Anyways, thanks a lot for staying around, and being such a great member here, Bay!

Wow after having a "meh" day this brightened it up I keep forgetting your name is Bayleigh and think it's Bayleaf . That's a lot of injuries you had. The only thing I know of is being deadly sick as a baby and breaking my wrist. Think it's cool how you are cyber school'ed because normal schools probably wouldn't have done you justice. Although you had misfortunes you still are one of the best users. Writing sucks not English Wait..... I'm just "cool"? I thought I was better than that *sighs* Now hold on while I make a bad parody song for you..... Just wondering if it be spam though hmmmm

That's a great accomplishment, poke . Im surprised you didn't get it before me... I remember way back when where me, you, mother3fan5, james, and earthwarrior would always talk . And then there was gameboy in his desperate quest for toilet paper TP.  Those were the days :V. Anyway, it really is great that you've gotten this far. We've been good friends on here for a while. I'm really glad to have gotten to know you, and be your friend. Here's to the next 1,000!

When you were gone awhile ago, we've never forgotten you, and we always have your back. Congrats on this great milestone. Can't wait to see what's next for you! It's great to be your friend and to work with you!  

Congrats on passing the 1000 post milestone! It sure is a big one.

Wow I got more replies than I thought... I thought maybe 3 or 4...  Anyways, sorry I didn't reply back yet, I've been battle with school and to stay awake, until I just passed out maybe 2 or 3 hours ago from how little sleep I've been getting. Which is actually why this took me 5 days to put up in the first place, since I wasn't at my A game, I just had no energy to finish the thread I made 3 weeks prior and put it up. I also honestly did not think anyone would be interested in reading it.

And I'm blabbing on, I'll just get to it...

EideticMemory : It isn't completely your fault I will take blame for it since to be honest, I wasn't thinking, and I literally just got done with the thread, so in my mind, I made my 1000th post. I guess it's what happens when your brain is less than functional and you help out people so much, you tend to forget.

Eniitan : Yea, It's really great on how vizzed has helped so many people really... I've heard a lot of stories of people, and with how the community is on vizzed, it's so warm and welcoming

Mia03 : Thank you ^-^

juuldude : Thanks! And yea... I guess I kind of did, didn't I ^-^'' Really? You didn't know I was dating sonic? Wow xD Yea, we have been dating for the past 3 months as of the 11th, and it has seriously been the best 3 month's ever. Yea, I was honestly a very shy person when I joined. I still am really, but I've made a lot of friends on here, which has made me invest into the site more. You would probably know me a little more better if you were on the server since I can spend a bit of time there... that is... IF I have time.

zanderlex : Haha, Thanks Zander xD I'll try my best in posting more often.

A user of this : Thank you a lot ^-^ It's great to know you at least learned something new about me xD And vizzed just seems to have that effect on people, doesn't it?

imamonster : Didn't mean to steal any idea's lol. I just forgot to post this as my 1k post xD But thank you a lot It does feel pretty good knowing I've done 1k posts

Singelli : Sing! Your responded! And thank you so much I think I was looking forward to responding to you the most, knowing that you always seem to have something to say hehe. I really do wish we could all be together again as well... It was such great times between us four. And I think you three knew the most in the this thread than anyone else (Okay, maybe sonic knows a bit as well). But it has honestly been such a busy time. I mean, mrfe is doing college work, you have a new job, and obviously play is a global on top of his job... And me disappearing for a year has not helped things much. Yea, there is, it's all done over the computer. Such as assignments, live classes and such. It doesn't necessarily cost us that much... but because we need Internet for it, we need to pay for that. But the school does reimburse us every 3 months as well as provide a computer for me to work on and a printer. I don't like it as much because of how my social skills have been slowly going down instead of up, I'm honestly down to only getting out of the house every 2 weeks to go food shopping because I don't want to leave and physically being around people I don't know well. Along with that, I have no friends in real life. And yep, 2 public brick and mortar schools and 4 cyber school's. Maybe we can work on it together then xD Yea! It's nothing you guys did, But I am so glad to be back. I mean, You have no idea how happy I am to be back, I really missed this place because of how much I loved it. I'm going to try and stick around, I'm just crossing my fingers I can handle stress and my grades don't plummet.

patar4097 : Haha, I get you there xD I never know what to say a lot of the time.Well, sometimes people consider cyber school homeschooling, since technically it is... You're still being schooled at home... But I guess different means. It honestly feels great to be back, and if you want to see more about that, see my response to singelli xD But I really did miss you guys and I seem to hear it a lot of how people have missed me on here. I honestly didn't think I was great enough to be remembered when I came back xD But Thanks tartar.

paper luigi : Yea, I've made that connection with my name Maybe I should change my name to Bayleef. Yea xD I guess it wouldn't have, but honestly I still wonder how my life would've been if I never started with cyber schooling. Thanks for saying I'm one of the best users xD I would think otherwise. Wiring and English sucks for me And yes. You might be a little bit better than cool, but I just couldn't think of anything at the time.

Popeye116 : Yea xD It is really great. I loved the old days when we all talked more and weren't as busy as we are now... But thank you so much Popeye for always being there and being my great friend

play4fun : Yea, I feel bad for being gone for so long xD But it was really great to know you guy's were still there for me even in my return And It was really great to see that you became a global by the time I got back, which is really awesome for you, since I know how great of a guy you are and how helpful you can be to this site. And it has really be great to be your friend as well as well as work with you

spectergaj : Thank you so much And yea, It is for me at least lol

I'm still kind of waiting for 1 or 2 more people to respond that I thought would have responded, but eh, if they don't, I'm still happy that I got as many as I have currently. I also thank all of my friends who have been there throughout the years and have been patient with my return. Even if I didn't summon you here, You're awesome. 

Pokefreak219 : Can I also say, you just talk more nowadays. It's a plus.

Pokefreak219 : Wait, there was a time when you didn't used to talk? How could this be? You're so talkable.

play4fun : Yea, I guess I am more talkative now, aren't I? Actually, I'm still not talkative as I could be.

zanderlex : Yes, There was a time where I barely talked. Now... I guess I've just wanted to open up more xD

Pokefreak219 : So you can be more talkative? I want to see this.

zanderlex :

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Why would you ask for that!

Pokefreak219 :

I'm kidding of course.

I never actually got to see you as a shy one.

I remember we first started talking when we helped build the shop in Geeo's island.

(And that's when the sport of merfy golf first came into being)
