Thanks for the people who Pm'd me yelling "YOU'RE ON MEMBER SPOTLIGHT!", because I probably would have missed it. I'm a terrible blonde. But yay me, I feel so happy, and pretty and witty....Eh forget that song. On another note to those who saw my last(But now draft) Entry, I didn't delete it, but I am currently writing up all the names for the fanart, finding the links, and organizing it the way I like, when I get it up again I'll link it for everyone to view. =) So now, I be all be wondering what's been up with me? Or maybe you haven't, but either way, oh well I am telling you guys anyway. Though I am 60.765 % that this entry will get less comments than my shorter one. We got Star Gate Season 1, disk 1 in Netflix today, and I have watched 'em all. So far they are awesome....Star Gate rules. And speaking of which, it has inspired me to write something*cough*, and if you guys have guessed, do not take the idea or so help you I will sue you like my name. ....I did not make a lick of sense. Ignore me all you dears, I am like hyper--Or worse. But still, I warned you... Er, anyway, about art....I hope everyone noted that my Bionicle drawing mood came back in the last few weeks, which is great, and I hope everyone has enjoyed my new art, and hey! I got a request up for Toa T...that’s him right? Ack why must you all change your names!? But so, I can ink and clean him up, then color, because I am sure you all know my sketches get rather messy. Bad LK. ;_; Clean up your art! But I am drawing Thok with pencil, and he isn't too messy so far, but of course I am using those wonderful blending tools. <3 Oh, oh! One more thing and I promise you can R.I.P., I am working on a tutorial (Yes this time I am very serious) for art, starting with tips on what paper you should you use, to 'you don't have to waste a billion dollars on art supplies to become an artist'. So I will post them on the blog by different parts, each one consisting of pictures, step by step stuff, my best try and pointing out obvious flaws and what to avoid in art, how to do things correctly, tips on getting perspective right...and yeah. But I warn that you should probably not trust this tutorial 100% as I am still a terribly flawed artist myself. ... Ok I am leaving now!

To whom it may concern: If I post in your BBC topic, and tell you, in an 'essay' basically, how I think your MOC should improve, take it as a compliment. Because that means I like your potential, and want to see you use it. And if I don't post in your topic, it's because either: A- I'm not impressed (I'm sorry), or B- I'm too lazy to even open your topic (again, I'm sorry). Also, there's C- I just don't have the time, and when I did, I forgot. I do this on purpose. I don't waste an hour of my social life to tell you I think you suck. I waste an hour of my social life to tell you I think you can do it if you push yourself. And if you don't want an honest review, if MOCing isn't that serious to you, and you just don't care, take the compliment of my post, and then swiftly and happily ignore the content. That's fine with me, just let me know, and I won't do it again in your topics. This is something I can do. Now, because this entry bounces all over the place... But here's the deal, guys (plural). Your little 'Change the voting system in the BBC!' crusade is ruining the BBC contest future. If there are changes the staff wishes to make, you can guarantee they've already been discussed, and put on some sort of a timetable. Because that's the staff's job, not yours. Leave it to them. Reasons why changes emphasized in certain PMs and IM conversations I've had the privilege to read won't work (especially as they've ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED TO DEATH BEFORE ANY OF YOU JOINED): - Anonymous Brickshelf folder for the contest entries with a secret entry process. This doesn't work because:People recognize styles. People recognize MOC backdropsPeople recognize camera techniquesPeople can still mass-PM (as I'm sure those of you familiar with this PM realize) which one was theirsIM anyone?Etc. -Piece count limit:Some people don't have a whole lot of pieces to use. That's how it works. Life isn't fair.Doesn't this still perpetuate the 'people with lots of pieces win contests!' myth?How do we know how many pieces were used?Simple MOCs aren't always bad! Any more bright ideas? We've talked those to death. Sure, all you new members that think I'm stuck in 'five years ago' don't know that, but the staff does. They know what's been discussed, and what works, and what doesn't. And like I said, this is their job on here, and they've got it covered. Just sit back, relax, and let them take care of the things they'll take care of. So dear now-popular BBC MOCers: I don't hate you. Also, I don't say this to be antagonistic. Or to be mean. Etc. I say it from experience. I've touted the 'Revolution.' It didn't work. It made things worse. I don't want to see that happen to the future. And if I come across as pretentious, or elitist, or what have you, I apologize, that's not what I meant at all. I am hard to please when it comes to MOCing, most likely considering the amazing things I've been around to see, having been around since the before-official-contest-times. I know it's not your fault I'm hard to please. That's mine. So if I come across that way, realize it was not my intent. It is not my goal to insult you or your intelligence that way. Now, if you'll excuse me all, I need to whine some more about how I'm 'fake,' and 'don't have a girlfriend or a life'. Haha, those last three get me every time I read them! <<DV>>

I just got the word that what was being planned is being called off... on account of not having enough time to organize it. Sorry folks.

If you have a lot of free time today before you go to bed, PM me immediately. Help is needed. Thanks!

Four letters somehow inserted into your topic title will not kill you. That rule seems to be forgotten so often. I can find about three new topics each day in the Art forum that are edits, without the indication in the title. See the problem here is, each time I actually DO expect drawn art when I click on the topic. I'm not kidding, the reason that Pohuaki instituted the rule is in fact valid. 'Cuz you know, every time you don't put edit in your topic title, part of Psycho Kitty dies.

ZOMG a Link! Highly unoriginal if I do say so myself.

It's confusing, so here it is in a nutshell thanks to Ut and B6: 9:56:47 PM Utopia: Black? 9:56:52 PM Utopia: Quick question 9:56:56 PM Utopia: I remember you telling me long ago 9:59:06 PM Black Six: ... 9:59:17 PM Utopia: Oh, right the question, sorry. 9:59:43 PM Utopia: Ok, so I remember when there was a cover for Bionicle Legends#6, a member used BZP's image of it and linked to it, like directly linked to it 9:59:57 PM Utopia: I asked if it was ok to use BZP pictures on BZP itself, as most sites do for it anyway 10:00:00 PM Utopia: You said yea. 10:00:02 PM Utopia: Is this still true? 10:01:25 PM Black Six: yes Utopia: So just in the same manner that other web sites use uploaded pictures on their site all over their site, on BZPower, you can, say, take the URL for the Hapori Tohu picture and be like: This is him, hope this helps, etc. Black Six: pretty much

Sorry for being offline for a couple of days. My internet was gone when a storm was wreaking havoc over here in Europe. <.< ----- Had some arrivals last week and the week before, so I'm happy again. The arrivals, which are all BoA related, are: - Listen to My Heart (Maxi Single) - Girls on Top (Album) - Key of Heart (Limited Korean Edition Single) And there are 2 packages due to arrive next week, which are also BoA related: - Naturelle (Photo Book) - Made in Twenty (20) (Album + DVD) ----- Met up with IXI today and we had a blast. Watched IX play some Counterstrike Source for a while. After that we did some Unreal 2, but we quickly moved on to Midnight Club 3, which was also awesome. But the best part was Burnout Revenge, where we got to blow each other up again. IX won everytime tho xD. ----- There's a minor change in my sig, as you can tell. The lyric about Nidhiki is gone, as is the link to my (our) old shop. The link to the Nidhiki songfic is now hidden in the Love can make a Miracle line. "I wanna believe in the power of Love..." links to the song lyrics topic. Anyone agree that the lyrics topic should be made official? Last but certainly not least is the Revolution Code: 1986-1105 link, which leads to this little blog. Hmm, maybe I should change the name of my blog to Revolution-Code 1986-1105 some time... ----- Also, please take a look (and reply ) in these two topics. Thank you. ----- ...seems I got a new nickname, thanks to Shinsaku Fukushima, singer of HeavensDust. My nickname: "Blue eye Samurai" Sounds cool, even tho I have brown eyes xD. I don't want to lose your love...

Check out this potential great quote: Come on, it could be the turning point of a cult classic! Admit it!

In regards to a PM I received: A wise person once said that 'those who don't learn their history are doomed to repeat it.' Unfortunately, this has been recently witnessed in our dear BBC forum. A call to arms, a call to change, a call for revolution! As Relient K said: "Wit's all been done before." History lesson? We've been here and we've done this. Years ago. There used to be topics open after the contests ended to discuss things that could change. We talked about making polls private, trying to hide the identity of the MOCists. We discussed these things to death, but none of them are feasable. You can't disguise a style, a backdrop, picture taking techniques. Famous members have always attempted to 'break' the system. I did it. Natha did it. Etc and so on. And yes, it works. Why? Popular builders are popular for a reason. Are you tired of losing to a big-name MOCist? Build something better. Push yourself to new heights. That's what I did. that's what Amalga did. That's what all the greats do. That's how it works. Don't yell for change just because it's unfair right now! Because life's not fair. It sucks. But it's true nonetheless. What we have is the best we can do until certain changes are decided to be beneficial to the overall system. Learn your history, or be doomed to repeat it.

Totally. I've been on BZP for half a decade. I've seen depression, divorce, happiness, graduation, college, birthdays upon birthdays, my father remarrying, etc, all while I've been here. Weird.

Reaching 10,000 posts is one of the major benchmarks of BZP achievement, and right now, I find myself on the verge of that number. It's just six posts away... I'm not going to reach it tonight; it's too late, and I've already posted 21 times since I awoke this morning. (That's about three times as much as normal.) However, I can confidently say that I'm set up to achieve 10,000 sometime tomorrow. The anticipation has been mounting since mid July, when I reached 9,000. One day while in the shower, I started to calculate what it would take to reach 10,000 before my third year here was complete. It was a daunting task... I would have to post at least 15 per day until school began, and then about 8 per day until February 20. I took a deep breath and plunged in. On August 30, the day before I went back to school, I took a new assessment. I happily discovered that I would only need to post 7.03 each day. I posted about 60 that week and brought the "magic number" below seven. From that day forth, I determined that I would always try to post at least seven each day. I have done that, and more so (obviously, seeing as there's more than a month until February 20). Each day, I've crunched numbers on the calculator, especially that "magic number." My friends at school have heard me shout it out to 6 decimal places every day, although they have no idea what it's for. When I return to school next week, there will be no magic number. Ten thousand is going to be reached. It's been a long time since that snowy February morning in 2004 when I first joined and was so excited that I made over 80 posts in my first week. I've tracked my number of posts each day and have spreadsheets and graphs to show the shifts and flows of my posting. (For instance, October is my driest month, July my most abundant. The most I've ever posted in a week is 181, the lowest 34. I've only ever posted more than 30 a day twice, and my highest is 40. I posted over 3,700 in my first year, but only about 2,700 in my second. (My third year is shaping up to be about 3,500.) Interestingly enough, if I keep pace until January 20, I will have 6 months in my third year in which I have posted in more than either of my previous two years.) I can actually track my life by my posts, though. The few times I've been away from a computer for a day or two, there are noticable drops in the weekly post count. During Easter vacation in 2006, I had a major spike as I neared 7,000 and resolved to start posting more again... There is a giant drop-off from summer to cross country season, spikes at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I find it fascinating. My family rolls their eyes at me like and laugh at my intensity. Last Sunday, I reached 9,900, and I couldn't contain a steady pace any longer. I've posted 94 posts since then, and I'll make it an odd 101 after tomorrow (if not more... who knows what I might encounter in S&T tomorrow). And as much as I'd love to reach the big 10,000 tonight, it's already Sunday where I live, so it will still be the same date. It's been an incredible journey, and that last major goal of mine here is about to be reached. (My other two were finishing an epic and becoming staff. Those are accomplished.) I'll shoot for 15,000 and 20,000; definitely. But I doubt that I'll make another 10,000 posts in under three years. Here I come...

Today in the Official Brotherhood of Makuta Topic, I used a little phrase that I want to catalogue for future reference: Metru-Makuta I was answering a question about the ability of Makuta to change Kanohi like Toa and wanted to indicate a specific Makuta (the one that we all know and love). Now, I've used various other descriptions to specify which Makuta I mean ("our Makuta," "The Makuta of Metru Nui," "The Makuta we all know and love," etc.), but I like this latest term because it is terse but still descriptive enough to make its point. We know that there is a trend of Makuta being "assigned" to certain areas (Artakha, the mainland from which Voya-Nui came, probably Karzahni), so this might be a handy short-hand pattern. So, the purpose of this mini-entry is to make an official beginning-of-use of this/these term(s) by yours truly. Consider it as close to a copyright as I'm going to get. And yes, this is ridiculous, so just shake your head and move on.
