So yeah, I just had my computer time (and thusly, my internet time) sharply reduced until I can hike up my French grades. >.< Apologies to the Retribution crew; I'll post when I can.
So, apparently the Mythbusters had a misfire during a myth involving a cannon. The cannon ball zipped over the barricade, went straight through the wall of a nearby house, and got lodged in a van. ... can't wait to see that episode!
Stupid internet, trying to keep me from watching it. Couldn't stop me forever. I am now psyched for September and have a reason to beat the original game. Dibs on Maya. *watches trailer for the umpteenth time*
I've got to go back to school tomorrow. @Akaku and Kagha: Tonight's the last forseeable time I'll be able to RP with you for a bit, and I won't be on as long. School night and all that stuff. I'll get on whenever I can, though.
... it's really weird to be home and not seeing my Bear around; I keep expecting her to hop on my bed and steal my water, or sit on my lap. =( ... anyway, I'll be on XBL this weekend, if anyone's interested. Can't play Halo 4, though, because I'm broke and my brother hasn't bought it. >_>
My package of replacement Kakamas arrived today, and had more than just masks in there. ^^ Total List: 8 different-colored '01 Kakamas (white, mata blue, black, gold, gunmetal, dark brown, Hewkii-brown, and teal) Nuva-symbol stickers Original March 2004 Bionicle comic (In the Grip of the Morbuzahk) Whoever sent these to me can consider himself on my list of awesome people. ^^
Got Seneca's Keep looking somewhat like it's old self. =D In other news, I'm gearing up for NaNoWriMo, and have begun work on my Short Stories Contest entry. It'll be entitled "Dreams of Darkness," and hopefully I'll have it up in a couple of weeks. (And for those of you that are wondering, yes, it will tie into Wings )
My USB drive is missing. The drive that has all the files of my writing, including the (nearly-complete) thirteenth chapter of Wings. .... .... *resists urge to use the freak-out emote* EDIT: And to top it all off, my Christmas gift to Akaku (which I mailed on the 16th of December) seems to have gone to LA for some reason and died. At this point, I'm considering trying to get it back and mailing it again when his birthday rolls around.
I'm finished for fall quarter! TIME TO GET BACK TO WRITING AUTHOR MODE ENGAGE (PS: If you're still trying to figure out what the heck to get your BZP Secret Santa, swing by this entry. We're posting our interests there, so we don't need to jump through a million hoops trying to disguise ourselves from our victims. =P)
Decepticon Symbol Belt Buckle: awaiting casting Autobot Symbol Belt Buckle: in early creation stages DeeVee's commission: ... not too great. Apparently when I emphasized to Mark that I wanted the Kakamas to be in white bronze as opposed to regular yellow bronze (last time that resulted in Zarayna's Matatu being in the wrong metal), he took that as an indication that I wanted it in a special metal, and attempted using copper on it. To put it bluntly, it didn't cast right at all, so I don'
Why?
Simple, I'm going on a Mexican cruise over spring break, and going somewhere warm and outside the continental USA tends to fire up my creative nodes.
I'm expecting to have a lot of my Writer's Block done away with when I come back, if last year's Hawaii trip was any indication of things. =D
(Also, no, I'm not going yet; first week of April)
My only real complaint is the fact Zed doesn't sell health packs anymore. Aside from that, this is probably the best sequel I've played. I'm only a level 17 Siren right now, and I've got a lot of awesome guns I'm not trading out for anything. Though I do wish Claptrap was less obnoxious this go-around. -.- In other news, I move into my college dorm on the 23rd, and my stack of textbooks is immense. Note to self: check in on what's required reading before you sign up to the course labeled '
About a week ago I got my hands on Revan and read it. I'm happy with it, especially since it tells the story of how Canderous became Mandalore, but I'm sad: both because of the fate of Revan and the Exile, and because HK was only mentioned in the book. Goodness knows how I miss him and his lines. (Another annoying thing? Atris was in the book. And she's the same obnoxious Code-thumper she was in KOTOR II. )
I hate starting the year on a sour note, but it's recently come to my attention that my second-in-command, Akaku, has left BZP for an unknown time span.
-.-
So, until he comes back, the Seneca need a new Second. Kini, Reep, Kagha, Japoro, and HN, if you want the job, sound off here!
Nergh, why must I tempt myself? Why the heck am I stalking that RPG, when I'm so busy and short on time? ... well, Akaku, you win. Expect me to arrive in Retribution soon. -.- (Not as a Human or an Elite, though; I can play as them on Reach.) (Haven't given in to curiousity and checked out MLP:FIM yet, but at this rate, it's only a matter of time. Whether I like it or not is another story ...)
Monday: Finals (+ Senior Awards) Tuesday: Finals Wednesday: last day of school for Seniors Thursday: Senior breakfast, graduation, graduation party Friday: go out to dinner with fam Saturday: family dinner part 2 Not mentioned: the probable sleeping-in I'll preform for most of Friday; grad night goes until the morning and we're not allowed to leave until it's over. xD I can't wait.
