So I have been bedridden for like three days now because of medicine complications. And then I get this card dropped into my lap this afternoon. Naturally in my drug-induced-state I completely forget to look at the return address and just open it. It's got lots and lots of glitter and a lacy dove with big googley eyes on it. First thought: "Oh dear god it's gotta be from HH and Janus" (spoilers: I was right) A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, guys. \o\ \o/ /o/ I got Prof
If you haven't checked out Dokster's blog yet, then you've missed out on one of the most bizzare events of history...
...
BZPers have turned me into a fad.

What has happened to humanity's sanity?
>>>EDIT: If you are doing any 'merchandise' that involves using a picture of me, pleasepleaseplease, use my Bionicle character pic or the wooden penguin. Do NOT fish up pictures of myself and use them, or the links/images will be removed from the blog comments.<<<
I am never going to get used to writing that. OTL But uh, okay, since I know there are other aspies wandering around the blogs: Are you able to feel when you're getting overstimulated? And what do you do to get yourself calmed down again? I get very, very irritable and upset, kind of like the feeling you get if someone pokes you with a stick and doesn't listen when you tell them to stop. I just haven't found good ways to get myself back to a calm state. So I'd like to hear what other people
Two blog entries in a month? Dear god. SOMEONE CALL THE COPS But anyways. So this time next week I will apparently (hopefully) have a diagnosis of either Asperger's syndrome or PDD-NOS (atypical autism) along with an anxiety disorder that I can never catch the proper name of. This has been 3 and a half months of doctor visits and like years of awkward and mistakes and horribleness in the making and I am still not sure how to feel about it. I mean, being autistic on any level doesn't chan
So those art projects? They were for an artist position on a Pokemon site!
Even though I didn't do as well as I wanted, apparently I did good enough.
CAUSE I GOT THE JOB YES YES YES!
:happydance: :happydance: :happydance:
I'm so happy... ;v;

It is currently my 22nd birthday. We have a president and I am so okay with that. Maryland did some lovely things. I finally have a bass guitar in my hands for the first time in almost 2 years, Ibanez left-handed 3/4, and I am playing Day Tripper like it was only yesterday. Life is pretty okay right now, guys. <3 -Nik
The world is not beautiful, but that in itself leads to its own sort of beauty. Humans are far from perfect and shall always do as humans do, but in their own ways to deny, defy, or even reach for their own perfection, they shine as the phenomenal creatures they really are. To embrace both strengths and faults as just things that are. I think that's a pretty beautiful thing. Life has been difficult right now. It hurts. It's hard. One might say it's been ugly from time to time. But you kn
Sup, BZP. /o/ I thought nostalgically of you today, so I thought I would stop by to say hello. I hope you've taken advantage of your summers! (: We're having issues at home - the breadwinner had to resign earlier this summer. We are drifting in the land of unemployment and uncertainty and are looking at moving. It really is a bunch of question marks. But we will make it through okay. Also, for those that knew my sister - her one-year anniversary was a couple days ago. She's all moved out a
It was supposed to be Roodaka.
I swear.
She just changed on my sketchpad.
Cause we know everybody loves Lariska, I mean seriously, she's all over the art forum anyways.
And yes she's human, cause I'm a lazy bum. : D
SOOOO there you go, a Lariska-that-was-supposed-to-be-Roodaka. I probably got the mech arm on the wrong side, haha, I lack Time Trap at the moment. xD
Ahaha...
Yeah.
Which reminds me, I need to restart my art topic one of these days. Or like, draw some AC
This is for everyone who is using/thinking of using any type of 'Signature Pet', whether it be Kratta, Raptors, Leechies, Dragon Eggs or whatever it may be.
It's called the Signature Guidelines.
Read them. Know them.
Please, if you value the wonderful existence of your signature, make sure it follows the rules when adding any cool thingamabobs or doodads to it.
For example: If you have a 468x60 or 250x100 banner and decide to add a pet to your sig on top of that, realize that it WIL
Because it's a beautiful album and it took me years to realize it. Hey you! out there on the road Always doing what you're told, can you help me Hey you! out there beyond the wall Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at all Together we stand, divided we fall. -Nik
IT'S HUG TIME, TIME FOR HUGS. Ran, two for you. Andi? FOUR for you, Andi Grrl. You go, Andi Grrl! And uh... Darth Vader, do we have a Darth Vader here? *distant voice from the back* It's DeeVee! Oh DeeVee, here you go, one for you... And none for Gretchen Wieners, bye. Minor edit because I didn't know Ran's name but now I do! Fixed. -Nik
Bumped 7/4/09, cause I really feel this point needs to be addressed yet again.
These are guidelines from my personal experience, not BZP rules. This is what I as an artist particularly enjoy to see in thorough reviews, small or large, but they are not required to post a review on BZPower.
I've been glancing around random topics in General Art, and now that the Art Contest is over, I've noticed a decline in the number of really decent reviews. Yes, yes, a pop in to say "wow that looks nic
Nik's summer, in condensed form: Lots of sleep Lots of rainbow cupcakes Lots of playing of the piano Got a new dog! Chocolate lab - he's a sweetie. There was a wedding in there somewhere as well. My sister looked gorgeous and she's very happy with her new husband. Had to drop my last semester of college, but I'm okay with that. My credits aren't going anywhere. Got screened for GAD and high-functioning Asperger's. And everyone proceeded to wonder why we didn't do this like 5 years ago. Thi
So so so I FINALLY had the time to finish watching the first season of Code Geass.
AAAAAAASADSAF
I love this show very much (it's such a strong story), but the last five episodes made me cry, and then there are plot twists and aaaaaaaaaah!
Euphemia........ ;.;
ARG I have to go find the second season somewhere. XDDD

Some of the most beautiful things in life are the most simplistic.
These loverlys are found in Barbados. If I was ever there, I'd be tempted to take them all.
Dude, if these aren't the prettiest flowers you've ever seen (ignore the JPEG quality, it is irrelevant), then you need your eyes checked. >=(

It was very, very, very long, but Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End was still so much awesomer than Spiderman 3.
Arg. It be the truth.

Thanks to everyone who has purchased bookmarks - this has done much better than I thought it would, and I'm very happy that people have been interested in these! I'm currently working on a Takanuva bookmark as well as designing a Metru set and a Chronicler's Company set (this would be in Bionicle form, not the human designs Scratch that - I would not be able to sell these if I used the Bionicle designs, so these will be human as well). Let me know what you think.
YAY bookmarks are finally do
MOCers and anyone else who is even slightly interested - I will be selling ALL OF THIS starting later this week. See something you like in this massive heap? Keep it in mind.
Anyways...
TIME FOR A GAME! =D
First person that is not Than, TMD or Makaru to correctly guess how much I spent on all this (plus 5 pounds of knex, 4 pounds of Lego/Megablocks, two Transformers, a fully-working compass and a copy of Lego Racers 2 for the GBA) wins a Nintendo Wii.

There are NO male human beings in my house. For the second week in a row.

The silence is... strange... and, uh... unnerving...

Excuse me while I go into a fit of hysteria with my felines now.

Some little scout must have found something yummy in our kitchen, because we now have hundreds of ants swarming through all of our front windows both upstairs and downstairs.
EEEEEW. >.<
They're kinda cool to watch, though~ I can't really decide whether to be disgusted or just curious... XD

We're just getting the furthest tendrils of it here at home. Lots of wind - some of the gusts are already knocking power out and ripping shingles off of roofs. But it's not horrible. There's lots of family in Point Pleasant and Atlantic City (some of which we haven't had contact with) so we're glued to the phones and the weather reports especially with the eye of the storm over that part of NJ right now. So it is basically a super fun day today. East Coast members: bunker down and stay safe,
