well then

After a week of torturous anxiety and indecision I managed to ask out that girl I met. Turns out she has a boyfriend already and now I feel equal parts stupid and sad...   My luck in this department does not seem to be existent.   I don't want to whine about my problems but I need to get at least some of it out somewhere. It's difficult being sad and miserable but acting completely okay IRL.   I don't want to be alone anymore.

Triple Entry

first order of business, merry christmas (or whatever else) to everyone. I hope you all had a fantastic day of celebration and happiness.   Right then, as for me, I had a wonderful day (mostly; that's the third order of business) and I got some amazing gifts too.   My loot as follows:   -Rush T-Shirt (Roll the Bones) -Coheed & Cambria T-Shirt -Random joke shirt -Umbra (after all these years... the list of sets I don't have is getting quite short) -Dr. Robin, Lady Scientist minifig -S.S.

So my friends dragged me out to the bar

...they said there was a girl they wanted me to meet who was a female version of myself.   They were right and now I don't know what to do. Even in just a friendship sense how do you even like... become friends with people on purpose?   All the friendships I've ever made were complete accidents and random happenings. It's especially difficult because guess what happens when you put two shy, quiet people together and tell them to talk?   Nothing, that's what.

9 Years Of Minimal Contributions

Well... today, nine years ago, ten-year-old me decided to join BZP after a few years of hanging around the news page. In that time I haven't even managed to rack up 1500 posts yet haha   Anyway, new spinny I guess. I'm 19 now too, so here's hoping for another year 'til my tenth anniversary.   Carry on BZP, and while my activity has gone down a ton lately, I still like this place quite a bit and hope you all won't be going anywhere anytime soon. I won't be.

Catching Fire

My god what was that     that was the best movie I have seen in a very, very long time. A long time ago I wistfully prayed for a movie that would follow the book word-for-word, and though it's been a while since I read it, I cannot think of anywhere it fell short.   It was everything I had wanted it to be, and twice as good as the first one (which I thought was amazing). My singular gripe is so minor it almost doesn't even factor, but Johanna's hair was short and almost buzzed if I'm recalling t

Inspirational Musicians #1: Top Female Vocalists

So yeah I'm gonna do this thing where I list not necessarily my favourite musicians, or individuals that I think are the best, but more ones that inspire me personally, who got me reaching for higher things as a musician and who motivate me to do better. Again, not the best, not even always my favourites, just people whose playing/writing/even personality inspires me.   Today I'm gonna start with women singers, and I'll go to males ad other instruments on other days.   so here we go (this was go

Want

Stargate Complete Series Boxset     I just finihsed season one and am officially hooked on the show, and this box set is only $70... and I have $30 in gift card money too. Was going to buy a few more Voyager seasons with that money but this is such a deal (I mean Trek series collections are are generally $400, for only 7 seasons to boot).   Should I do it?

Stargate

Any fans lurking around here? I just started watching SG-1 (after years of curiosity I finally saw it on TV at the dentist lol). I've only seen six episodes at this point but I'm pretty much sold on it. The whole cast is just great. Even Hammond who seems like your typical american stereotype general turned out to be a cool dudebro.

Feeling Sorry For Myself

wow... hi

well... hey BZP. It's been almost two months since I used this blog. jeez.   so uh, what's happening? A lot of the familiar faces around here seem to be gone as of late, so I'm not even sure anyone I know is still blogging here.   Not a whole lot's up with me except that I finally downloaded LDD and made an awesome (IMO) lego Excelsior Class starship which I intended to buy before realizing that service is no longer offered.   aside from that been playing Star Trek Online and just been all-arou

My Crew

So yeah, I downloaded this game finally and it's been really great so far. Graphics are a bit less awesome than I expected but oh well. Anyway I just took screenshots and GIMP'd around with them and made some images, so here we are:   Here's my bridge crew so far, consisting of (left to right), Ensign Eyra Sar (Trill), Captain Thomas Nathan "Manatee" Xin (Human), Ensign R'Shee (Andorian), and Ensign Jhril (Andorian):     and here's my ship, the U.S.S. Nelson, NCC-93403, Miranda class variant:

Star Trek Online

Just finally got it after all these years. Made a male science officer (named Tom Nathan Xin ) for a captain and got a Centaur class ship (could've been worse I suppose) which I named the USS Nelson. I have no idea what I'm doing, been so long since I played games with a keyboard. Also the graphics are nowhere near as good as I had thought, but that's probably due to my computer's lack of a video card.   Still, I think it'll be really fun once I get into it and get myself a better ship.

Sup

So here's my new bass in person, just in case there was any doubt of its existence.   Plays like a dream.   Anyway, it's been awhile so I just thought I'd spew my recent doings and goings on. First off I have my music college audition tomorrow morning (for bass instead of guitar as I had originally planned), so that's exciting/terrifying.   I also got a phone though seeing as I have only two contacts and have received a single phone call (from myself; testing my ringtone ) I'm not sure how neces

My New Baby

Ran me about $870 CAD, what with tax and shipping and all, but luckily my dad helped out and paid for half of it (thanks dad). I saw this back in 2008 and knew I wanted it but was never interested in learning bass as anything more than a hobby. But now I find myself liking bass more than guitar, surprisingly, and figured I'd go with my dream guitar. It's gotten 5-star reviews accross the board without a single complaint and is super rare.   I managed to order the only one currently available in

It finally arrived

My copy of the limited edition deluxe set of Coheed's "The Afterman" finally came yesterday. They had some problems with lyric printing and stuff, thus the delay. Still, it's here now, and good lord is it gorgeous!     Descension being spun a taste of the inside     So yeah, and after reading the story in the book, it's amazing how good it is. Complete with some important moral decisions and plot twists, it's a really fantastic read.   Really really recommend this album to anyone half interested
