It's mine.
As some of you may have heard, Borders filed for bankruptcy and are closing a bunch of stores. A few of those happen to be close to my house [actually, all three that are close to me are closing]. While that's obviously sad, it also means that there's sales. Everything was 20-40% off, and some things were even cheaper. I ended up with Dead Or Alive, along with two other books: Point of Impact and Night of Thunder, both by Stephen Hunter.
I've wanted to get Tom Clancy's new boo
Do you like epics and want to give back by giving people reviews? Ever thought of joining the ECC? Well now's your chance. Coming June 22nd, a contest will be hosted in the Epics Critics Club (staff approved); the winner will be given an internship at the ECC. Keep your eyes on the ECC topic this Friday for further information and the opportunity to put the power of the pen in your hands. ~ Velox

So . . . since I was bored, I decided I would enter the Comedy forum for the first time in months. So, I clicked on the first comedy I saw. And I will say one thing:
I won't be going back to that forum for a while.
I had to stop mid-way through the first chapter. Just so much spam and newbishness. Sure, I wrote a comedy once that was pretty newbish, but it wasn't that bad . . . I'll never write a comedy again, though.
Though, I want to try to make an actual Short Story that's

Well, I got a PM from Hahli Husky the other day asking me if I could become the Curator of the Comedies Critics Club, and make a new one. I guess <daydreamer> recommended me or something since she was too busy [which, on another note, I hope to start reviewing epics/Short stories again]. I'm honored they both thought me worthy, though I can just imagine how awesome it'd be if it was the Short Stories Critics Club, Epics Critics Club, or BBC Critics Club, but it's not. =P
So recently the most adorable cat ever has been hanging around my house. It'll go away for a while sometimes but keeps coming back. Can't help but think of this (one of the greatest cartoons, and far too catchy for its own good):
(though, I'm not trying to get rid of it, and I actually give it food/water [unfortunately we can't keep it as my dog is unfriendly and my dad's allergic to cats :C], but still) But the cat came back The very next day~
Another 15-minute write-off between 5 5's and co. that was written about a week ago. Even though it's kinda dark, I really like this one, and hope to expand upon the idea with a larger story at some point. Until now, a vignette: Theme: Bridges Burning Bridges I was sick. Sick of myself, sick of whom I had become. ..........Death was a salient part of my life. I had gone places I wished I had never even heard of. Done things. Things that could only be described in a nightmare. And no
It keeps coming back. =[ First I had it right after BFair itself, and then it subsided for a little while, but then I had BrickCon which brought on 'Con Withdrawal and brought back 'Fair Withdrawal. And now whenever I see BrickFair or 'Con mentioned anywhere it makes me sad. I miss you guys! We'll just have to make next year extra awesome. But it's still 9 months away... =/
Jason and the Rileys are awesome. So is Steven. And Micah, (especially) Katie, Conner, Breanne, Norbert, Trisha, Stephanie, Nickolas, and Russel. Jason is especially awesome and i am going to pay for his lunch tomorrow. And especially Riley because he has silk pajamas. -
What are some good books to read? For my liking, I really love J.R.R. Tolkien and Lord of the Rings. Along with other action/adventure/fantasy. Any suggestions? I'm looking for more books to add to my shelf. And if someone mentions BIONICLE books, I will have to kill you. I already read them - and I like them.
Thanks for the posts in my last entry, guys. I'm still not quite sure about what order I'll read the Tolkien stuff in [i also hope to get more of his stuff], but I probably won't read them until summer anyway.
So, a few days ago I finished the last of Vince Flynn's books. The only thing I can say is I wish there were more. =P Really, all twelve were the best books I have read. Though, I actually haven't read that much, as up until a few months ago I didn't do much reading. But still, I reall
So I finished Vince Flynn's book Term Limits yesterday, after having started it on Monday. Which is fast for me, as while I'm not a slow reader of actual pages, I do normally take a fair amount of time to read through a book. This, however, was so entertaining that I read over 600 pages in four days, one hundred and two hundred pages a day, depending on the day. Is it bad to neglect homework if you're reading? =P
But anyway, back to the subject at hand, that book really was amazing. I just lo

Another list from a non-BZP blog I follow, decided I'd jump on the bandwagon and give mine. Best Books in 2012 Best Book You Read in 2012? So this is a hard one. I've read a lot of good books this year, and really, it's impossible for me to choose a favorite. So instead I'll give my top five: The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien (not the first time I've read it, but still), A Monster Calls, by Patrick Ness (I think my banner and avatar show how much I love the book), The Book Thief, by Markus Zusa

So I was going through stuff on my computer, and I came across an old MSWord document that had this blog entry by Primus.
Those really are words of truth. Especially the bolded parts.
On another note, I like how whenever there's a BBC Contest so many people have banners over the size limits. It makes it easy to find sigs to report.
Since the Lists entry is overloaded with BBCode, I will be holding the archive of Reviewed MOCs in this entry. This, obviously, will be edited to match all the other BBC CC Entries.

...I am always right? Katie being Ezorov. Good to know. Anyway, last night I saw a high school production of Wizard of Oz: Closing night, too, which is always fun. My brother and sister used to perform in plays years ago run by Biola Youth Theatre (where I saw the play), so it was fun going there again. Next year they're performing Guys and Dolls, which I think I may just have to see. But man, seeing a play makes me even more excited for today...Les Mis!! ~ Velox
Another Day, Another Duty ~ :: ~ A darkly clad figure cautiously looked around a corner before treading into a dark alleyway of a deserted city. With his Assassin’s Blades extended on his wrists, he continued his journey by quickly moving from behind one steel trash bin or concrete doorway to another, carefully observing his surroundings before each move. ..........The night was dark, with only the nearly-full moon and stars giving any illumination besides the occasional half-broken, di
I've been thinking about some things related to my past actions for a while now, and it feels like the time is right to address them, so I'm going to do that here. Put simply: in the past, I have involved myself in discussions that ended in unresolved conflicts. I said things in those discussions that I truly regret to this day, and I know that people were hurt by those things. I don't want there to be conflict between myself and other members, and as a staff member I realize that my behavior
American Assassin, by Vince Flynn ISBN: 141659518X Publisher: Atria Books Release Date: October 12, 2010 Rating: 5/5 Synopsis: "This action-packed prequel sets the stage for the ten previous Mitch Rapp thrillers. American Assassin takes readers back to the event that changed the future operative's life, the 1988 Lockerbie Pan Am Flight 103 bombing that killed 270 people, including the woman he loved. This act of mass terror puts Rapp irrevocably on a death-defying path against evil extremist con
The anticipation is going to kill me.

For those that don't know [like, everyone, probably], this is Vince Flynn's newest book, just released in stores everywhere October 12th. I'm getting it on the 20th at the Ronald Regan Presidential Library book signing by Vince Flynn where I get to meet him and, obviously, receive an autographed copy of his new book, as well as listen to a talk by him. Even cooler is that he'll sign any other hardback books I have, which means that I
Writing Achievements for the Ambage Sometimes the most elusive thing for a writer to find is motivation. You might have all the ideas ready, but without a goal, you can get stuck. Enter the Ambage Achievements, created by Cederak. Think of them as a list of mini writing-goals for Ambage members, a chance to show yourself how much you have accomplished and to chronicle your writing endeavors for all to see. These individual achievements are meant to provide you, the writer, with something to

I needed to write a poem on a color. I chose red. Also, I got a 25/25.
Red is the color of my heart,
That is full of Love for you.
Red is the color of fire,
The fire that burns in my heart.
Red is the color of hatred,
Which I feel so often.
Hatred toward pain,
And all that is evil.
Red is the color of war,
And the blood that comes from war,
The blood shed for Loved ones.
Red is the color of throats,
Throats crying out in pain,
Begging for a chance to Love.
A chance to live
