Oh, geez, it seems like I haven't been on here in forever.
Well, yeah, I haven't had access to a computer for a while now. Sorry for being gone. *hands out apology cookies*

Well, hey, my B-day's tomorrow. Everybody says turning 16 is, like, the most wonderful birthday to have. I can't see what's so special about it. (And don't say 'you'll be getting your driver's license'. I can't get that until January.)
But, hey, I'll be another year older. Hoorah! *waves flag*

I went to the park today with my family. We hiked, had a picnic, all that good stuff.
My sister brought her frisbee (she brings it everywhere), so we... played frisbee, of course. Nice game. I was losing. Normal.
Then my sis goes and throws the disc up a tree.
Me being me, I was sent to go retrieve it. It looked easy to get down: just go around to the other side of the tree and shake it down. So I went over to the other side of the tree.
And jumped into a mess of thornbushes. It did
Oh hey that WIP is done already?
Awesome!
...Only took me a month. TT_TT;
Well here, have a look if you do not mind.
BTW it might be coming to Brickfair ooooohhoho

Since I'm leaving for Brickfair in like 9 days:
If you're interested in HB Nuva bookmarks, please let me know! My printer is finally cleaned up and I'm printing sets out for some members who've already ordered them. If you're coming to Brickfair and would like one or more of the bookmarks ($5 a piece, $22 for the whole set), then let me know so I can get them ready before I leave! XD

Well the buzz from the bees is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot. And the baboons are going ape over this.
Of course, the giraffes are acting like they're above it all...
The tick birds are pecking on the elephants. I told the elephants to forget it, but they can't.
The cheetahs are hard up, but I always say, cheetahs never prosper...
TLK
Drat.
Missed the Lego store. By 12 miles.

Maybe it was cause I was drowning in insanely thick Jersey accents coming from everyone but myself. No one threw me a life preserver, man.
Crazy.
Ah well. Tired, worn, and really feeling like I need a vacation from what was supposed to be my vacation, but at least I'm back now with all limbs intact. I believe I learned more about Ben Franklin last week than I ever have before.
And I didn't die when put in the same
I am now officially considered a seinor.
...
Well, in my church's eyes, at least.
Over 200 youth. Only 8 of us. And we're the top of the pile now?
It's scary.
Ah well. At least the senior teacher's a hoot. He'll keep us from, like, dying or anything like that.

Please keep a friend of mine in your thoughts and prayers. He's having a difficult time with life and adjusting to college and stuff, and I recently found out that he's getting real sick because of it. He's been
It seems that prices for private schools are going up quite a bit.
And at the same time, private school state funding is plummeting. Like a rock.
The incoming freshman class - the largest group we have ever had, at about 1,700 - is getting some of the best financial aid the school has to offer.
In contrast, over half of our existing student body (1800+ students) have been told by financial aid that "you are not going to be able to come back", and will be either transferring to a public
So I'm apparently the Assistant Stage Manager for Annie next February. o______O
This means I get to be the one who calls the shots backstage during the performance, govern the crew chief and crew heads and cast (lots of children means lots of broken stuff) and make sure they don't break props or furniture or themselves, be the personal lackey for the stage manager and director, stay up late and get up early for a long time, etc.
Plus I get a scholarship and a chance to be stage manager my
Clocks go forward tonight.
Remember to set your control panel forward, too (Control Panel -> Board Settings -> Click the "Is DST in effect?" box).
I almost forgot so I'm sure there's other people out there who did as well.
Night, everyone.

I just realized while browsing last night that I actually have an option to add myself to my friends list (while viewing one of my posts on the board).
Curious.
Having seemingly nothing else to do at the time, I thought, 'Hey, it'd be interesting.'
So I clicked the magical button of friendly magic.
And waited.
The Friends window popped up fairly quickly. But I wasn't on it.
Odd.
That was soon followed by a BZP error message in said Friends window.
My computer then proceed
Now that I'm finally sixteen, I can finally apply for a job.
And get some moneys. For once in my life!
Thankfully, Hallmark Crown has open spots (for the holidays, no less!), so I'm crossing my fingers that I can get the job.
And get some moneys.

Oh yeah, my b-day. I got Hakann. I got Vezon and Fenrakk. Coolest. Set. Ever. I got Legends #5 (#4 was sold out). Coolest. Book. Ever. I've already read it four times.
Now that I have Vezon and Fenrakk, I can actually do some nic
I feel kinda icky but yay I'm alive. <3
I also had to see a ukelele get snapped in half over a kid's shoulder, noooo. *cries*
Well, since I'm not going to be on much for the next day or week or so (Smeagol4 is coming to visit on Saturday :3), I shall say Merry Christmas to the whole lot of you, and I hope you have a wonderful time.

WHYYYYY Why does my local Wal-Mart have to bounce the Lego prices up so hiiiigh D:
I am not paying 12 bucks for a Phantoka and 9 for a Matoran right now, thank you very much. I like the lower prices at the Wal-Mart 30 minutes away.

Alright, real reason for this entry:
I'm heading out-of-state on a mission trip today. Myself and 39 other teens from my church are going to go fix houses. It shall be most awesome. =D
I won't be on BZP until at least the 29th due to my
So I saw Hero Factory sets at my TRU today.
I didn't get one cause I am out of money cause I get sick too much and medicine is expensive.
Knowing my TRU (I worked there, so I've seen this happen!), those sets were put up by a new employee and will be back in storage by the end of this week.
Niki is sad.

...in about 34 hours.
Pray for me. :,D
Lol seriously, it's just a short shift, only 4 hours, but it's apparently already starting to get nuts, so, who knows what to expect. XD;
If it's crazy, you know I'll be here Tuesday afternoon to tell you about it.
If I don't say anything, assume I either have a normal job, a boring job, or that my job actually killed me within four hours.
