One more week of AC13, everyone! How are you all faring?
~~~
I just figured out how to use Windows Movie Maker to make animations. Whoo, I'm so dense!
(The horrible part is is that the fastest you can have a frame up is a seventh of a second... if that's bad... )
>>

So... yeah, testing that out. I've made a couple test animations, about 20 frames long and lasting around 2 seconds. I'll be making longer ones... as soon as I can figure out why my stupid microphone is
And yet again, another Art Contest is upon us. Difficult theme, that for sure. (Not to mention that 13 is superstitiously an unlucky number. It's a bad omen, I tell you. )
Unlike last contest, however, I got my pic done really, really early. Strange, this world can be.
Oh, and my guy friend didn't kill me this morning.
So... hooray for odd luck?

It's cold outside. ColdColdCold. More from the negative-degree wind chill than from anything else. ><

Ah... lessee, how did my Heart Day go yesterday...
Well, I got a little something for my guy-friend (not a boyfriend, cause we're not dating *shakes finger* ) for Valentine's Day. Really simple, but I know he doesn't mind. ^^ We agreed last Sunday to meet each other at the Wednesday night activities at my church, like we always do.
Crummy part is, we both got snowed in unde
Ok, Ok, quick expliantion time:
Ohio is getting DUMPED on. We got three inches overnights, and it's still coming down strong. We're supposed to get 12 or more inches by nightfall (That's a total of 15+ inches, people.)
Thus, we are preparing for power outages. I will be off BZP for the next couple days because of that.
Just wanted to let you know.

Oh... and one last note...
Jaller Mahri's mask ROCKS.

I learned a valuable lesson on Super Bowl Sunday:
Never... EVER... tell a group of total Halo fanatics that you have never played Halo or Halo 2 before. They will more than likely run you out of town and try to behead you with their Xbox 360 controllers.
Same goes for Final Fantasy and the Wii. Except they'll kill you with Playstation controllers and the cool white sticks. ><
*rubs bruises on top of head*

Hey, look, I've finally shown my sorry face in the forums again! L
Well, hey, I haven't been here for a bit. Stupid Civics, with all your branches and judicial junk.... >< I was going to stop by yesterday, but I wasn't home half the day.
...Oh... a reason... that's right, a reason. Uh... let's see, where did I put... aha!
*clears thoat*
My mother took me and my sister to Easton, about 5-10 minutes drive from Columbus and about a 40 minute drive from our place. Easton is best known for its shopping center.
I no longer ponder why this is. The p
NOTE: This has NEVER happened to me before. Until yesterday.
I got Vezon and Kardas yesterday. At a bargain, too: only $25 at Target's after-Christmas sale.
So, yippee-yay, I was all excited to get him built. Poured out the contents of the box. Got to building.
Well, lessee... I got about halfway done, I guess: I had just finished his legs, when I realized something.
I was missing pieces.
"Hmm... Nvm, let's keep building, maybe they'll show up."
Turns out, I was missing several
Sometimes BZP forums annoy me. Like today: I'm on for 25 minutes and I encounter more than 90 board messages... oy. ><
So, for the QUESTION OF THE HOUR: How has your BZP browsing been as of late? Bad? Good? Akwardly normal?
*ahem* Ah... yeah, happy new year! Only 359 days until Christmas!
*gets buried under pile of rotten tomatoes*

Yeah, I got Rayman: Raving Rabbids on GameBoy for Christmas. It's tons of fun: I get to beat up rabbits all day long.
And I got colored inking pens.
So, voila, some Rayman fanart somethings!
~*~
Oh, and a great big hearty (sorta late) congrats to Makaru, the new FA! *applauseapplause*
~Nikira
Hey, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
(Mountain and Pacific Time... Merry Christmas in a couple hours!)
~*~
Okey-doke, it's 1:41 a.m. E.S.T, Christmas morning, and I'm totally exhausted from yesterday...
And I just can't seem to get to sleep...Seriously. It's like... I'm being watched...
I betcha Anti-Santa's mad at me or something. He sent his mischeif elves to make sure I don't get to sleep so I don't have a happy Christmas with my family!
Bleh... Maybe I'll sleep better on the couch. -.-;
Whoo for Christmas Break! I gots no school until the 4th of January!
*parties*
And... yeah, my sister and mom just took off for somewhere. I asked them where they were going, and my sis just gave me this really insane grin that she always gives me when she wants to drive me crazy.
Oh, and I have fudge, too! It's really good!
...Yeah...
~Nikira
1 week till Christmas!
~*~
Went to see Eragon today.
Heh... I liked how they did Saphira, and I'm just a total fan of Jeremy Irons in any movie, but the rest of it wasn't very good. The storyline was so mixed around from the book, and they left way too much stuff out... It really wasn't worth my 30 minutes to drive or 11 of my 12 bucks.
But, hey, my dad and bro liked it. Then again, they haven't read the book.
So... yeah, if you also haven't read the book, then this movie'll pr
Still sick. I don't like being sick. It makes me weak and confused.
I don't like being confused. -.-
So, last night, I took Ny-Quil gel-caplets. It's nasty stuff if you don't swallow it right away, and, come to think of it, it did absolutely nothing for my congestion.
But, oh, was I a happy sleeper. ^^ That stuff knocked me out about 3 minutes after it went into my mouth.
Woke up this morning, and I'm still sick. And sleepy. And my sinuses are still clogged. But I am blissfully num
Fear my poofball trees!
...yeah... the trees in the front need to be taller... and other stuff needs to be fixed...
My sense of perspective stinks. >>
~Nikira
We finally got snow! Ohio finally got snow!
...Ok, so maybe only a centimeter stayed on the ground, and it melted by mid-afternoon... That's all Indiana's fault, by the way. They stole all the lovely snow last week, and we only got rain, and *grumblegrumble*
But still! Ohio FINALLY got SNOW!
Bahahahahahah!

Art-Wise:
Working on a Photo Studio thing. I must admit, background are much easier to make if you have a good photo-editing program, but I still wish I had a tablet.
I finally got Bionicle Heroes for GC! (Every store I went to had the game for every console except GC.)
I am also uber-angry and jealous of my brother, because by the time I had enough free time to pass Vezok's Coastline (the first four levels), he had passed the whole freakin' game, 100%, in 3 days.
I should expect this anyways. At 13, my bro's a major computer game genius. We got two of the three DESCENT games by Interplay back in, oh, 1997. (Very confusing. Lots of mazes. I still haven
Hey, whaddayaknow, I finally finished Vezon & Fenrakk.
Vezon: It's time to practice good oral hygiene! *pulls out giant toothbrush and starts brushing Fenrakk's teeth* Isn't that right, my pet?
Fenrakk: <Prrrr>
~*~
Speaking of oral whatchwatsits:
I have to go to the pediatrician sometime next month. Why? Cause I have to go through all these tests, just to get a jaw surgery done (I have a Class 3 Underbite with some other thing I can't remember. Only two of my teeth actua
I woke up about 30 minutes ago, ad noticed that Lewa Nuva had pitched facefirst into my carpet from his place on my bookshelf. I went over and picked him up to put him back on the shelf, when I noticed something:
Save his mask, there were teeth and claw marks ALL over him. And, i dunno about your guys' sets, but the plastic of all my Toa Nuva's armor is, like, really soft compared to the rest, so every piece of armor was also fraying - fraying!!
Yeah, I freaked.
I can kinda figure that
It is 8 p.m., and I have just realized that I haven't eaten anything since 9:30 this morning.
And I'm not hungry in the least.
oO
I think my body's trying to starve itself.

Art-wise:
Since my website's being so stupid *kicks website*, I've moved all my HB art to my main art topic.
And, yes LK, you can glomp at Kopaka all you want. *hands her plushie*

I went with my mom to B&N today to get some books for my sister's birthday (which just so happens to be 11
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
