So yeah, it's been more than a month since I've updated this thing. And really, not much has happened.
Well, this is the first week of my three week holiday until I go back for Term 4, which means that exams are coming up soon, about five weeks. This means that while I'll be on BZP more, it won't be by much, since I'll be trying to cram a lot of study into this period. My exam time-table's come out pretty well, and, while I don't have any days off throughout the period, I have only one exam
I'm going to be gone from tonight until Tuesday afternoon, because I'm going to visit my mom. We have to wake up really early, like, at 4 AM, to get to fly at 6AM. This has happened before, but at least when I was in Perth, I still was jet-lagged, and I woke up two hours earlier than everyone else. Anyways, this will be my fifth and sixth flights this year. I'll be praying, as always.
Anyone else really hate flying?
And also: the awesome blog graphics are because of Chunky, who's, like th
First of all, I haven't been blogging lately. Server's been acting up for the better of the month for me, and school's crept up on me, too (never underestimate homework and its ability to take up all of your time ).
Secondly, I saw Inception.
Which was awesome.
Seriously, best movie of the year, and one of the best I've ever seen. In my opinion, it's tied with The Prestige as Nolan's best work.
I also saw it with my dad, and if you knew him, you would know he's awesome at solving my
People these days, relying on octopi to tell them who to bet for. Back in some other guy's day, people didn't have these psionic cephalopods to tell them who to bet for. And they liked it that way!
Despite this, a clairvoyant octopus would be the coolest pet ever. Agreed?
Anyways, FIFA predictions? I'm saying Spain.

I liked it. Especially that the Toa of Psionics is male, this might mean that we'll finally be seeing other characters like this. I've been doing it in my fanon for years, but it's good it's finally canon.
Marendar seems interesting, to say the least. I picture him as some giant, hulking, ape-thing.
The title though, made me automatically think they were going back in time to do something. It's a bit of a let-down that we can't see more of the MU's history as a result...
I'll have to
TOO many people make this mistake. It's not bad or anything, practically everyone makes the mistake, but it often causes a lot of confusion. Let me clarify:
Sentience is the ability to feel emotions. Comes from the word 'sentio' in Latin, 'I feel'. Yes, people are sentient too, but then again, so is your dog, and in fact, your goldfish (know how small their brains are?). If you're looking for the word that describes us, then that would be...
Sapience. This comes from the word 'sapiens' in
So, I went to a concert last night in place of my grandmother, who was too sick. It was good, but I don't think I could appreciate it as much as someone who is either -good- at music, or really enjoys classical music. So I was a bit bored, and my mind was often drifting. While I was there, I noticed the following:
Belts are used to hold up pants, but pants have belt-loops to hold up the belt. So, really, who's the real hero?
-K
It's -definitely- fun. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Lemme explain what's been going on for the last few days. On Monday, I took a plane across Australia from Sydney, where I live, to Perth, where my grandfather and his wife lives. From there, we travelled out to their farm an hour north of the city, and I've been here since Tuesday afternoon.
Since then I've been herding cows, making fires, cooking marshmellows, feeding livestock, moving (300 pounds of) dirt to make a new garden,
Voting this round was incredibly close, with the first ever tie for third. Since then, all of the RPGs have been posted and are moving at a quick pace. It seems like the slump in activity in the RPG forum has possibly ended.
If you've been waiting to get into RPing, now would be the best time, since the new ones have just started (with the exception of Darkspace, but catching up shouldn't be a problem ). Returning RPers should check out the new ones as well:

Guys, I need to talk to you guys about BZPWriMo's status.
Hahli Husky recently PM'd me about BZPWriMo, and how it would be best if it were moved from July, for the sake of both this and the official Summer Olympics slated for the same time slot. It wouldn't be so great if entrants from this contest were unable to participate in the official ones because of time, or that entrants from the other had no way to participate in this one. I completely agree. With both going on at the same time, nei
Just some of my opinions:
Halo: Reach (Xbox 360)
Everything about this game looks pretty awesome. The graphics, AI, multiplayer, environments, everything. Also, new space battles. I wonder if this will become a multiplayer feature as well. Anyways, there's not to much to say, I can't really think of anything wrong with it. I'd like to get it, but I don't have an Xbox, unfortunately.
Gears of War 3 (Xbox 360)
I can't say I like this one as much as Reach, although it does look like someth
The Unofficial BZPower Writing Month
Recently, Velox and I have been brainstorming ideas for a BZPWriMo, based off of the National Novel Writing Month (or, shortened, NaNoWriMo). For those unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo, the purpose is to write a 50,000 word novel (roughly 175 pages), during November. It's for anyone who's ever wanted to write a novel, but too scared away by the time and effort involved.
However, BZPWriMo will be a bit different, and will be set to start on the first of July.
BZP, I am disappoint.
No, really. These new sigs? They're just too big.
The worst part is when I view BZP from my iPod, which is about half of my BZP-time. The sigs will take up the entire screen. Do you know how annoying that will be? Not only will I have to scroll ten times as much as I used to to read a post, I'll have to scroll sideways to see it too. Wonderful. Still, I am reluctant to change my signature viewing options, since I actually used to like them, and how they could serve a
About time.
I already have Portal for the PS3 as part of The Orange Box. However, since all Valve games are going to be coming out for Mac over Steam pretty soon, I think I may trade back my PS3 versions for store credit, and save that for console-exclusives. Then I'll probably get TF2 and Portal 2 (when it comes out) for the computer, for the computer servers. They were never that good on the PS3. =/
Also, the Indie Pack looks pretty good too. I have the first level of World of Goo on my

Actually not really, it won't be a line long. I'm getting really sick of this "In A Line" fad. I just counted. Of the 26 topics on the first page (excluding the pinned ones): 1 was off-topic; 2 were "In A Haiku" topics; only 6 were regular topics; and a whopping 16 were "In A Line" topics. That's pretty annoying, to a person who goes to GD to voice my opinions and talk (...err, type) about things rather than simply making little responses to boost my post-count. I've been ignoring them for a lon
So, my birthday has now been rescheduled to June 6th, 1995. Because having an exam on your birthday, and then devoting the rest of the day to studying is not a cool birthday.
Hey guys, guess what?
Only one month until my birthday!

Here's a riddle for you guys, because I know some of you (including myself) love a good riddle:
Two vacationing couples, Bob and Jen and Dave and Sarah, are flying to a holiday resort on a tropical island. However, their plane crashes in the waves. Bob, Dave and Sarah are washed up another island alive, and Jen is presumed dead.
A month later, having been rescued, Dave walks into a restaurant. There he orders the albatross. Upon trying it, he walks outside, pulls out a gun and shoots hims
Opinions. Now.
Okay, here's my opinion. I think the thumb is a finger. It has the same amount of joints (yes, it has three, one near the wrist), it looks the same as a finger, functions the same (it's just a finger on the side of your hand), is a digit from the same location, so therefore, IMO, it is a finger.

So guys, I heard that the Pentagon had just recieved a suggestion on how to track down those elusive terrorists: parachute bears down to the ground, because their sense of smell is much better than a greyhound's.
This is the stupidest, most hilarious and most awesome plan I've ever heard. I wonder, even if the bears found something, how are they going to call in or how would the army guys find out? And really, who are the bears going to side with? The ones that push them out of a plane? I th
I wrote in last night with a piece of news, and I came on tonight after watching Clash of the Titans to find myself an POBZPC, which is awesome. This makes me the 120th 143th member to achieve this status, which is, for me at least, a pretty awesome achievement. To top it all off, in a week my message box has gone from 200, to 2000 PM-capacity. Too bad some other members *coughRMcough* don't have that much space.
One thing I'm wondering though: How did you guys who commented on my page find
I'm dedicating this RPG to Exo-Fat, one of the best RPers this site has ever had. I feel pretty sad to see him go; he's become a really great friend of mine, and he got me back into RPing, which makes up a lot of what I now do on BZP. Frankly, his RPG Abyss was the best I've ever seen. As Rising Moon said in the topic: "You've showed me what it means to be a real RPer, and not just through your sheer genius and beyond unique and extreme creative thinking--you're devoted, fantastically talented,
I just needed to steal a battery from the clock in my room to power my mouse, which is obviously more important.
So guys, have you ever had to raid for batteries? Where'd you have to take them from?
