Stop Locking My Entries!
That's not a command...haha.
But in response. B6, Yes, I did. I did mention that I was very snarky with you. Also, thanks for completely disregarding my point in all three propositions. You guys are not taking evident steps to take care of this matter. :/ My point EXACTLY is that there is WAY too much room to misinterpret the rules, and that's YOUR (staff) fault, not ours (members). That's why you need to make the rules more clear! It shouldn't have to be this complicated, I'm just trying to help. :/ Also, you should know I wasn't particularly calling you a fool. I'm sorry you took it that way...
But seriously...
Members, I want YOUR feedback on my previous entry. Do you think I'm right? Do my propositions make sense or am I a lunatic?
Ahem, this is not to dig my hole deeper, just trying to save some future trouble, to be honest. :/
Also, I wondered if anyone had the answer to my question in my previous entry, about editing Staff member's blog comments...?

Hey Everyone Who Told Me I'd Grow Out Of It
or that I'd see things differently when I was older.
I'm looking at some very old post of mine and I'm amazed at what a retard I was.

An adorable new acquisition
I've been wanting to get a copy of the original WALL-E set for a while now. This morning a local independent Lego store got one in and I couldn't resist!
The box is in absolutely mint condition, like it just came off the shelf - and it's staying that way! Won't be building him anytime soon, if ever. He was a bit pricey, but I traded in a few sealed sets that I had duplicates of to make the purchase more palatable.
Now I need to get the new Brickheadz version!

New Build: Winter Green
As the cold curses the land
She persists
For every winter that comes
There is a spring that follows
No chill has taken her
None will
For she is evergreen

A Novel Concept: The Lord of Misrule
So last November I participated in NaNoWriMo, and actually suceeded in writing a 50,000 word Novel. I'd really like to publish it, but there's a lot of work that's between now and then, if ever.
What was my book, you ask? Well:
The Lord of Misrule
There used to be magic in the world. REAL magic. But as time went on, the magic faded. Now no one believes that it ever existed.
Except for the Actors.
Hidden away in the world is a special school dedicated to teaching actors and their ilk the ways of magic in their craft, to keep it alive in a world of cynicsim and blurred lines. Like every school, it has its quirks, in-jokes, and traditional celebrations. The most famous is the Feast of Fools, their own version of Homecoming. And the King of it all is the Lord of Misrule. Thing is, no one ever knows who it is. The voting process is a secret, and the mask is never removed.
And This year, Elijah Goodblood plans to take the crown.
The Lord of Misrule is about a magic school for actors, performers, and those who work behind the scenes. It's not wave-a-wand magic like in Harry Potter-No, this is more subtle. The magic is born from light, movement, props; It is a product of many parts, rather than a reaction to an action.
It's also about the Green Room Gang, a collection of students who hang out in the New Globe's Green Room when not in class. A variety of students from numerous locales, backgrounds, and previous theatrical education. And the crazy shenanigans that they get up to.
It's also about Elijah Goodblood, a sophomore member of the Green Room Gang who wants to win the title and position of Lord of Misrule, essentially the Homecoming King. Winning this title is acknowledgement of his abilities as a prankster and humorist.
There may also be a cat hidden in the Girl's dorm. Just to let you know.
***
So I've written this book. Now comes the fun part: Re-writing the whole thing!
When I first wrote it, there were two main characters: Elijah, who drove the plot, and Avalon, who introduced the readers to the school. After some reflection, I decided that two characters with unrelated goals split the reader's focus too much, So I've narrowed it down to one. Elijah's still going to help little freshman Avalon adjust to her new school, but for the most part the story's focused on him.
I've also changed the focus, screentime, and overall helpfulness of the Green Room Gang. In the original Script, they made cameo appearances and didn't do much in the way of story. I'm giving them more focus and more impact into Elijah's choices; this group is almost like a family. (and is certainly made up of a few.) Also, there's way too many fun characters to not use.
Considering that, some of the other characters I've made (Namely Elijah and maybe Avalon's roommates) are going to be given less focus or cut altogether. They've been fun to write, so they may stay, but I really need to re-work their characters or meld them into existing ones. If I write more books, they may re-appear, but for now they don't have a lot of influence on my main character, so out they go.
I also need to put more focus on the school itself. One of the few things I didn't like about Harry Potter in its later years was how little school was focused on, despite it being a part of the students' everyday lives. I want to show my characters in class, workshops, shop hours outside of class, ect... I want to show them interacting with professors and directors in a positive way, not the you-got-caught kind of way. These kids are in school and I want them to act like it!
There's also a lot of little things that happen in the background, like hammering out the timeline and everyone's schedules. (Not that it matters for some students...) This whole post was mostly a personal lining-out of my next steps.
So since approximately half my book is going in the dustbin, There's a lot of writing to do.
I can't wait to get started.

Scout Bait.
I like to use Scouts as bait.
If I have the Intel and know a Sniper is watching one of the two exit doors, I'll let a team mate Scout go first, get killed and quickly escape as the Sniper reloads.

11 years
Wild. 11 years on this charming little forum. So many memories!
Life's at a tipping point, looking forward to a big career move, moving on from other stuff I've been with for a long time. I've been going to a lot of concerts and that's been so much fun! Janelle Monae and Paramore most recently, both were magical experiences. Been going to a lot of museums, too. I've been following Christian Faber's Rebel Nature project for a while and I can't wait to see it released, it seems so wholesome. I finally went to Pride again! My first time was seven years ago, it's so nice to look back and see how much freer and gayer my life has become since then, I'm really grateful for everyone who's contributed to that. Also, uh, I'm really excited about the state of science fiction right now, Star Wars and Star Trek and Doctor Who are really pleasing me right now and I can't believe it's all just getting started. That's been keeping me going.
I hope everyone is prospering and living their best lives, love you all <3

New Collectibles!
So today I got in a package with some ultra rare collectibles and I thought I would brag and post some pictures:
Sorry to say in advance that this collection is not for sale.
Full pic of collection:

Closeup of the top 3 rows. Got room for a Gold Hau and Platinum Avohkii up top and if you've got a Metru Red Huna for sale, let me know! :
Kanohi Nuva:
Krana:
Krana "Va":
Krana-Kal (Yes, I have two WMKK and a whole blank row for any GPKK I may get in the future):

Kanoka - I am still missing a few, but I've currently got a few in the mail from Bricklink. Let me know if you've got a 416, 175, or Gold Kanoka that you're willing to sell.
Not the greatest quality picture, but here's the UDD Kanoka and the Numberless Disk of Time:
And finally, a sealed, unopened San Diego Comic Con edition of Vakama with an SDCC Kanoka that it was never released with:
