As your droves of raving comments show, everyone on bzp seems to love reading about my life.
Well they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are a few pictures of my dorm.
Holy cow, I think the smell is being transmitted though the internet! Get some air fresheners QUICK!
But yah, my room's a mess, The worst part is the boxes, I should really do something abour those.

With the RPG planning topic dead and the actual approval system in limbo, I figured I’d at least get a little bit of feedback here.
A little while ago I played the visual novel (Looks like a video game, but it’s basically a choose your own adventure book with music) Fate/Stay night and I thought that with some modification it would make a cool RPG.
Introduction: “I ask of you: Are you my master?”
The Holy Grail. Ancient legendary heroes. Welcome to the world of fate/stay night an

... wait, that's not right.
On one message board I frequent, there has been a trend of making a 3x3 grid of your favorite pices of various media. So here are 3 of my 3x3s Games, TVshows, and Music
I realize now that it probably would have been a good idea to make one for lego themes/sets. I guess I'll make that one late
I don't really care for them.
The weapons are nice, but it feels like they are too action figurey. I guess that's what sells now.
I was disappointed when Bionicle took this direction, but I kept collecting them (or at least trying to) out of some sense of dedication to the series, but now that it's over I think I'll pass on the Hero Factory sets.
That is unless some future set really knocks my socks off, but I kind of doubt that will happen.
All in all, I'm sad to finally see the Bionicl
It figures we have such a cool contest when I have absolutely zero chance to MoC
Anyway, I had a few ideas, and since I have no way to enter, feel free to steal.
Lightsaber: Anything from the size of the prop in the movie to the size of the plastic toy ones they sell. Blade optional, but it would be cool it you could pull it off.
Headcrab: Half-life is sci-fi enough, fairly easy shape and it works in several colors
SSV Normandy: With Mass Effect 2 on several BZpers minds I imagine th
I forget where I got this from, but I'm going to get a group of friends together and do this sometime this summer
No quote because this entry already is a funny quote.
no, It's not the minifig hand MoC, I'm working on that though
what is IS though, is my best castle creation yet, or at lest a preview

also in playing around with Pridak's head, I found some things I thought I'd share
All hail king Pridak
This makes him look like that guy from Star Trek
I'd love to see this used as armor(it works with any Barraki head)

So in Mass Effect 2, fan favorite, Tali'zorah returns as a party member. This time the player can peruse a romantic relationship with her.
These pictures are taken from that romance

Got ME2 Tuesday, didn't sleep that night and pretty much didn't do anything but play until I beat it. Bad idea? probably.
It was a great success, I kept everyone alive, and told off the Illusive Man. I am ready for Mass Effect 3 already.
So two nights ago, I had a dream that the trash in my room came to life and was trying to kill me. Then last night I had another dream in which myself and a stormtrooper were stranded on a lava planet, and we had to run from Darth Vader until the Rebel Alliance picked us up in a giant keyboard.
So yah
That's why we can't have dream topics in CoT.
So I attended my second WAMALUG meeting yesterday, and it went pretty well
several people (including BZP member ChocolateFrogs) liked the hands my Bionicle MoC's had (detailed pic's will be up in a day or two)
I also completed a castle scene, which someone described as "one wicked game of chess"
I also played with my new Manas, explained how I got a MacTron Takua
There should be pictures up in a day or two, so I'll link to the brickshelf folder

"Man [has] always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much, the wheel, New York, wars and so on, while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man, for precisely the same reason"

as those of you who frequent LEGO system sites know, many builders of Castle, Space and other system themes use minifigure hands for small details, well I am going to try to bring this into bionicle Mocing
I have one Moc already that uses this to a certain degree, but I hope to make it a main feature on a MoC in the future.
on an unrelated note, brickshelf seems to not be accepting uploads from me, is this going on with anyone else, or is it just me?
Also the WAMALUG pics seem to be MIA
And that's about all that needs to be said about my Christmas.
Now don't get the wrong idea and think that I'm bitter about not getting what I want> I did get some great things, and Christmas is about family and all that good stuff. But considering I got nothing on my list, I'm a little bit disappointed.

So I leave for college tomorrow.
Occasionally i think "am I ready to leave home?"
Then I remember that the eleven-year-olds in Harry Potter are just fine going away for school.
So yah....

I saw Bruce Springsteen yesterday night.
It was pretty awesome, except he didn't play Thunder Road
Born to Run was epic though, everyone was singing along.
Although I started to feel sick so I had to duck out during the last song.

the only problems are that it's a bit too small, and it's really itchy
but my friends that made it says that she can fix those after break

I was uploading one of my recent MoC to Brickshelf, and I figured "hey this are pretty good, I should make a topic in BBC about it"
As I was in the midst of making the topic, I found something out...
Brickshelf seems to be having some sort of problem, as a result it appears that all folders have been deleted.
This less than a week after we get Bzp back... Bummer
-Edit: deeplinks still work, but folder links are gone-

So instead of taking notes today in calculus, I decided to doodle.
Normally my drawings are horrid, but these turned out decent. I sketched up some tracks for the old SNES game F-zero. (Ignore the scribbles, I started taking notes in german class, but then realized that we weren't doing anything important today.)
See them here (warning 1700x2338, BIG)
The Big blue is listed as such because I couldn't remember if there was already a Big blue II course in the game or not.
On the subject of
A first for this blog, a bionicle moc in progress, with actual pictures!
I know the body is not custom, that's the "work in progress" part, the head, arms, and legs are final though, and I just wanted to see what they looked like on a body.
comment please and tell me what you think.

Unrelated side note:Me and a couple hundred thousand of my best friends went to see the inauguration yesterday.

Cons:
-the zombies are totally ridiculous, they're like if Voldemort from Harry Potter was bit by a radioactive spider, had a massive lobotomy, and was majorly hoped up on PCP and steroids ( if you don't know those drugs will make you crazy, very strong and pretty much unresponsive to external stimuli (read:pain) also
Ow...
I got my appendix removed Wendsday, and yesterday was my first full day back at home.
Today is the first day I fell well enough to do anything, it still hurts to move my upper body, and getting up from a sitting o laying position is a nightmare. I was actually able to eat solid food yesterday night. I also noticed that I'm lot more thirsty than I was before.
So yah, needless to say I won't be able to do anyting for a few days (Including the WAMALUG meeting, sorry ChocolateFrogs)
So I recently finished watching Neon Genesis Evangelion.
And I decided to follow that up with Gurren Lagann.
Oh my goodness
You know those people who run out of hot tubs into the snow? This is like that for my brain!
Any way they're both excellent series, you should check them out if you have never seen either.
