Riding out the Wait

Recommended Posts

My whole reason for finally joining BZPower, posting & reading through threads about Bionicle helps.

I don't find much else to be particularly useful, & generally the feeling of hype ...is something I haven't felt in a while. I'll indulge myself in it.

 

Generally university & health issues keep me busy enough. As it is I'm content with basically going on with my daily life; anything otherwise would just be time consuming & any way I see of ...'dealing' with hype would either increase actually increase it in an exciting way or diminish it; the former would eventually just make the 'reveal' disappointing & the latter isn't really ideal for me (It would be contrary to how I tend to deal with emotions: experience them & act in the most optimal way that is influenced least by them in the long run. Emotions are good, passion isn't bad but I would rather not mislead myself; my studies are important & hype and obsessions are only ever temporary for me; I'm easily addicted but quick to grow bored & move on, there are too many things in life for me to tend too much time to some things).

Every chance I get, I'm drawing. New stuff, old, nostalgic stuff, and just about everywhere in between. I figured it's a good chance to improve my style.

 

Now I really need to just post some of them, but I fear they would be a little dull. Most of them are just sketches, black and white and no shading. I do have one I'm close to posting though.

 

Oh, and lots of homework.

Drawing is always a good way to pass the time while still doing something society can consider constructive. :V

 

I personally have fifty-billion or so projects to work on, because i have no sense of planning or control. oops.

 

(I'm waiting for the sets to be released, even though i can't buy any, haha.)

Most of my time is taken up with schoolwork... but that doesn't stop me from writing Bionicle-related things, or creating characters out of my (modest) collection. Even so, I plan on becoming more involved. I'm eagerly awaiting the release.

1. Working five days a week at my job.

2. Writing.

3 Playing Super Smash Bros. on my 3DS.

4. Watching a bunch of Youtube videos.

5. Checking BZP for updates.

 

All of these help me pass the time until the sets come out.

Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Mostly searching through all the old flash games, looking for unused stuff and debug menus. I'd really like to play AC Unity and MCC but I lack an Xbone :c

oh yeah and work too

I don't know what I'd be doing while waiting for the sets. Probably discussing them here or filling out my collection of sets from this year — there are still some Ninjago and Hero Factory sets on my wish list that I haven't gotten yet.

 

But as a reviewer for The New Elementary, I'm lucky enough not to have to wait for them. Got six of them sitting right in this room as I speak.  B-)  You guys definitely have a lot of great stuff to look forward to!

I'm wasting my time by video gaming and schoolwork. Fortunately, my family has a vacation to Florida in January, so I will be buying several of the sets when I go. I also spam lego customer services with questions about bionicle 2015. Other than that, I sit and stare out a window for hours on end thinking about those sets.

School, a bit of drawing (gotta get some new stuff up on DeviantART soon, they probably all think I'm dead or something :P ), breaking Lego Racers 2 with Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and generally saying I'll do stuff and not getting round to doing it. :P

I play video games and read history. Mongols and Tengrism is interesting, nice break from my usual "ROMANS ROMANS ROMANS!!" (But has also unfortunately prevented my from completing the last 'chapter' of the Alexiad). I am also waiting for my interest in Star Wars to return so I can finish the graphic novel "The Trawn Trilogy".

 

Mean while, my interest of BZPower has increased, so this place helps pass the time when I am not making small Bionicle flags.

Aside from checking LEGO fan sites daily, I've been spending a lot of time with my girlfriend and playing video games ( replaying the entire God of War series for the umpteenth time as well as replaying LEGO Marvel Superheroes and working on finding everything in LEGO Batman 3).
