Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I stand here today to give you my testimony as to how Bionicle truly improved my life.

Before the day when I came upon the toy that changed my life, I was a lonely, sad little person. I spent many of my days staring blankly out the window trying to telepathically communicate with clouds. The future spread ahead as a long, dark, foggy tunnel, with not even a train for company.
And then, one Christmas morning, my brother unwrapped my figurative lifetime apocalypse -- Toa Tahu. His shimmering armor, his mask that smiled so understandingly, his flaming sword (magnificent although technically not capable of burning without bringing about its own demise)...

I found myself surrounded by a sea of loving plastic friends. My days were complete! Whenever I needed a hug, they were there! Whenever I wanted a tea party, they were there!

I was ecstatic! Amazed! Beyond mere joy! In a fit of wonder and happiness, I became a member, and was thus whirled into a merry-go-round of---
*Stops suddenly as she reaches the bottom of the paper.*
*Turns it over.*
*Flips it back.*
I could have sworn I wrote more...

*Dashes away sheepishly.*
