This isn't how I expected my break to start off. My laptop, for the uninformed, seems to have the personality of an aggravating hypochondriac with a weak immune system. I got it last year for Christmas, and in that time has caused me three headaches -- the first was caused less than a week afterwards, when it started freaking out about viruses that didn't exist; the second was when it completely failed and needed a system reboot back in March. This time, it keeps blue screening when I try to
So, I have two teachers. Both have Mark as their first name: my English teacher, and my Jewelry/Metals teacher.
Both are shaping up to be awesome. =D
Mark I. (English) is pretty cool; I knew him from Freshman year journalism, when he offered to teach me Photoshop if I managed to get my hands on the program myself (that never happened). So far, he's shaping up to become my favorite teacher (despite the fact he dissed Linkin Park on my first day ).
Mark Walker, my Metals teacher, is a pre
I'm just hoping the MIA Judges for the Summer Library Olympics show up soon and the winner for the SS section is announced before I go back to school -- then I can stop torturing myself with the mental possiblity of winning first place.
... or, the other Transformers belt buckle I've recently finished. xD It looks a little different from the Decepticon one because I used a different method to carve the wax (the Dcon one was carved by handtools, while this one was carved using a machine), but I like how this one came out. (Not for sale, btw.)
Parts that made me cry (death scare, Andy and Bonnie)? Check.
Awesome getaway plan near the end? Check.
Funny moments (Spanish Buzz, Potato Head replacement bodies, Romeo and Juliet dub, etc)? Major check.
Cute moments (Spanish Buzz vs. Woody over Jesse, LGM's and the Claw, etc)? Check.
Nostalgia? Yep.
Such an awesome movie. I'm so buying it when it comes out onto DVD.
(PS: The previews were cool, especially for the movies on Voyage of the Dawn Treader and the Guardians of Ga'H
Last night's Mythbusters episode = Possibility to get decapitated by a flying pane of glass = Confirmed = possible way for an Air Toa to kill someone.
Appropriate emote for an author that always looks for new ways to kill characters =
If you hear about any spontanous, Mythbusters-esque detonations down at Sea-Tac airport, that would simply be the universe's reaction to two Toa Seneca that are in a relationship together being in the same place. That said, I'm off until the 11th of August. Seeya guys later!
If I appear but don't respond/accept to party invites, that's usually a clear sign that I won't be sticking around for very long.
Take last night, when my dad and I tried and failed to deactivate the setting that requires his password for me to approve friend requests. (Naturally, I realized how to do so only after we gave up and went to sleep. >.<)
Taking a peek inside this topic reminded me of something my Chemistry teacher told my class before we headed out for spring break. We've been studying Light in our latest chapter, and according to him, if you can travel faster than the speed of light, time travel is possible.
Food for thought, eh? It never occured to me beforehand that Takanuva had the slimmest of chances at traveling through time.
So while BZP was down, I was having fun doing other things (I'm actually starting to get a life. It's a freaky concept, I know).
Thing One: Listening to Linkin Park's new single "The Catalyst". Seriously, it's been less than three days and I'm head over heels in love with that song.
Thing Two: While I'm on the subject of "The Catalyst", I happened to notice that the release date for "A Thousand Suns" (the new LP album) is on the same day as the release of Halo: Reach. It's probably a coi
No, I'm not talking about school per se (though its' only a matter of time before my nerves are ground up enough for that ...); it's more about Zen.
Zen started middle school on Tuesday, which means he's not going to the YMCA in the morning. Since we're not close enough to him to ride to school, I have to escort him to the back path to his new school, and then take an alternative route to my high school.
The walking isn't bad, but it's hauling Zen out the door that's driving me nuts. He's
Okay, I'm pretty sure by now that a few people have noticed the changes done to my signature. I'll get onto the new sig in a second, but I have something else to talk about.
Thing 1
Before I gave my sig an extreme makeover, I had a notice for fans of my Heroes and Halflings series, saying that if anyone had questions to ask about the series, I'll try to answer them. I only got two (if there are any more, ask them here and I'll answer them), and I'm neglecting to mention who asked them, but
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
B) (Well, you'd say this too if your epic review topic got the Hot Topic list after posting just one chapter.)
We have tolerated Zarayna for a long time now, my friends. But he continues to try and subvert what makes us great. Just moments ago, Akaku informed me he has broken into Seneca's Keep again and stolen our refrigerator!
Too long, Toa Seneca. Far too long now, and we will rise up to reclaim our glory from an upstart that would humiliate us!
To arms, Toa Seneca!
(OOC: For those starting to get worried, this is strictly 'kidding around'. If this was for real, there would be nothing left of
First my MP3 dies, then my headphones break again, and if I don't improve my chemistry grades by next week, I'll be a lot less active here on BZP.
And to top it all off, Alex hasn't posted his promised SS yet, which I was really looking forward to. <.<
Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) Put it on shuffle Press play For every question, type the song that's playing When you go to a new question, press the "next" button and continue 1. What is my life's philosophy?
"Tainted Love" ~ Soft Cell (so this means I'm a bad girlfriend ... or I just like making my story couples miserable)
2. What will my last words be?
"Lose My Breath" ~ Destiny's Child (well that's just great)
3. How am I feeling today?
"Battle of the Her
Snowboarding on Snowpeak is both A.) better than the Kopaka snowboarding level on the Bionicle video game I have and B.) filled with things to slam into If the ice wolves in Snowpeak weren't so cool-looking (pun very much intended), I'd find them so easy to hate Cannons = hard to set off Malo can redecorate a shop he takes over really fast Twilit Fossil Stallord = most rad boss ever Yeti are not easy to get directions from Giant ice creatures are freakin' annoying Magic armor =/= awesome protect
Finally got around to fixing my blog so it didn't stretch my screen. Yeah, that meant I had to reduce my approvals to links, but sacrifices have to be made.
Take your username, and make up the most convoluted description of it that you can. That's your new nickname. =D Examples: Inferna Firesword: Tarnation Combustion Weapon Akaku Master of Flight: Mask of Vision Commander of Air Lord Kini Hawkeye: God Temple Eagle Ocular Japoro: Toa of Ice: Japoro Warrior of Subzero Hydrological Solid HN: Toa Mahri of Stone Mata Second Generation Zen Iceblade: Meditation Subzero Hydrological Solid Tapered Weapon I think this could catch on, honest
Some may have noticed the big, fancy banner that's replaced my text signature as of late. You might've also noticed the date I posted in my profile feed. That's because I'm almost ready to start posting a new G1 Bionicle fanfic I've been playing around with since last January. Curtain lifts Saturday. I hope you'll enjoy my story.
I literally just picked this up this afternoon (my brother got it the other day and loaned it me, since I expressed interest), and I'm only a few dozen pages until I finish it. Rick Riordan is one awesome writer.
That being said, it hasn't motivated me to take The Lightning Thief off my bookshelf yet, but I have a feeling it won't be long until I do. That being said, I doubt it'll be as interesting as The Red Pyramid, because of the differences -- I think becoming the host of an Egyptian god
It's not to save money or to give us another hour of daylight -- it's to keep people like me from going into hibernation.
Also, I'm going to Vegas on Wedsday! B)
I know I'll never convince everyone to think the way I do, but I might as well try. Iron/Magnetism: *insert everything Magneto's ever done here* Plant Life, aka The Green: *insert everything the Morbuhzak's done here* Lightning: Come on, who hasn't wanted to shoot lightning out of their fingers, ala Darth Sidious? Psionics: I can think of a bunch of ways to use this element. A lot of them hurt. Sonics: I once read that there's a soundwave that could kill you if you heard it. Also, *everything
Normally I'd complain about the whole state-testing thing, especially since I took the SAT on Saturday (hah, how ironic), but I passed them last year, so I have no need to take them ever again.
=D I get to sleep in the rest of the week! Yay!
