So, It's My Birthday!

For obvious reasons, I haven't blogged in a while. Hence, I'll have to write up another one of those huuuuuge what-I've-been-up-to blog entries to make up for it. In the meantime, though, quick list of stuff I got for my birthday (so far, but I'm not sure I'm gonna get any more): $50 from my grandmother Like 10 mini Reese's cups (my favorite candy EVAR, by the way) Sandish-green T-shirt with oooold classic Mountain Dew logo Blue T-shirt with a whole lot of reasons why being a guy is awesome (Exa

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

Okay, so as a few of you know already, I went specifically to the Six Flags Great America park the other day, because it was closest to my area (which I will not tell to you. =P). I got there probably somewhere around 9:30 AM or so, and stayed until... waitaminute... 9:30 PM!!! Oo... Okay, readers, I literally didn't notice that until I typed this. =P I didn't get photos, unfortunately (you aren't allowed to have a backpack or anything with you on the rides, they make you leave it at the beginn

Gasp, A Blog Entry!

Wow, has it really been since the 9th that I last blogged? I need moar ideaz...   For now, at least, Laughin'Man posed a good question chatting with me the other night. Anyone care to theorize on this quite interesting point? Comment away!   ~

Have I Ever Mentioned I'm A Geek?

I just installed Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) on my HP Touchpad tablet, while keeping the default Palm WebOS intact so I can choose which OS I want to boot when I turn it on. It's so awesome~   Examples of some stuff I can do now: Minecraft Netflix Google Earth Steam Mobile (<3) Other fun Android things So yeah, fun stuff.   Also ponies tomorrow!   ~ (A VTOAHMKEARH)

Fourth Brony Anniversary

Or specifically, the fourth anniversary of the night I started the show and became a fan!   I know I made and posted my annual song cover a few weeks early, but I'm really glad I did, because two days later I came down with an awful and persistent cold that's even still affecting my voice.   Anyways, not a whole lot of new stuff to talk about this year, since season 4 ended shortly after my last anniversary entry, and the fandom has seemingly gone into a bit of a hibernation during this insane 3

Can Anypony Help?

Turakii #1 Lavasurfer demands reasons for why she should watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She won't even give it a chance until then! D:   ~ (A VTOAHMKEARH)

Up

As Dr. Seuss so well put it in one of his books, "It's a Great Day for Up!" As most of you (should) know, Disney/Pixar's latest movie Up came out just today. Has anyone here seen it yet? Even though I've already entirely made up my mind and I'm GOING to see it and I WILL like it, anyone wanna tell me how it was (spoiler-free, of course)? ~

In Which Avohkah Tamer Spends Too Much Money

I just bought every one of the Series 6 minifigs in one shopping trip, without a cheat sheet and without getting any doubles/extras!   I swear, they must have had like 8-10 minotaurs in that end-cap display.   No photos unless you guys really want 'em, because I'm lazy and don't feel like digging around for my camera right now. =P

Two-Year Brony Anniversary!

(Or if you're Pinkie Pie, my 24th Monthiversary)     On the night of March 29th, 2011, I started watching MLP:FiM at the behest of Takuma Nuva, and I was pretty much immediately hooked. Two years worth of regular brony meetups, brony voice acting projects, and one brony convention later, it's interesting to see how simply being a part of the brony community for these two years has impacted my life in significant (and largely positive) ways.   You guys might remember my 1st Brony Anniversa

Midwestria, Days 2 and 3

Oh yeah! I was supposed to blog about Saturday and Sunday, wasn't I?   Saturday (9/15) was most definitely the high point of the con.   I started out in the artists/vendors room, bought a bunch of buttons and a Vinyl Scratch hat. Ran into a friend of mine from my local meetups who was selling some of his own handmade plushies, and bought a Twilight and Fluttershy.   I headed over to the game room, where we had about 35 people gathered for a massive game of "Are You A Changeling" (Ponified versio

I'm Going To Have Fun Today!

I'll slightly recap what I did yesterday, as I didn't do an evening Blog post as I had planned. Yesterday I had some fun talking with Laughin'Kitty (Laughin'Man), -Legolas- (DudeNuva), and RC-1344 Tor (Torhuki) about our future plans in the MMO Pirates of the Caribbean Online. It was the first time I and LM had Tor in our instant messaging buddy lists yesterday, but we all had a fun time.   As for today, I actually plan to run out the door and hopefully get to see The Dark Knight any minute no

Wow... Just, Wow...

I've gotta say, The Dark Knight was AWESOME. I agree, it's quite evil and dark, but it made it that much more edge-of-your-seat suspenseful. It almost seemed too long to me, but that was only because I wasn't expecting it to go past a certain point, but I think if I hadn't thought it would end where I did, I would have thought the length to be perfect. [/confusing]   I loved the acting in this movie, especially that of (the late) Heath Ledger, he really formed an awesomely insane, irrational Jo

I Can Has Blog?!

This is my testing having a Blog for the next week. If I like it enough, I may buy Premier! I don't have much time to post right now, and I may or may not post multiple entries per day.   Hmm, I guess this lair isn't so secret anymore. Oh, well! Anyhoo, my hobby is to tame various kinds of Rahi, hence my name changes on BZP. I've of course got a "lair" for me and my pets, and I've decided to open it up to BZP members for the next week!   Well, today I'm actually headed off to Six Flags with my

Happy Some Year!

As I'm sure many, many, MANY people are doing, I'm posting a "HAPPY NEW YEAR" entry! ...Well, except for one thing. I'm not talking about 2009. I'm talking about a mystery year you shall NEVER KNOW. AHAHAHAHA.   Also, Laughin'Man brought to my attention a spam e-mail claiming to be from Bill Gates. I'm here to tell you it absolutely cannot be from Bill. You see, he's my buddy, and I should know, he doesn't talk like that in his e-mails! Here's a good example of one of the many e-mails he's sent

Fifth Brony Anniversary

*comes out of hibernation/lurk mode*   Almost exactly five years ago, I started watching Episode 1 of MLP:FiM. It's been a long time since then and lots of things have changed, but I'm glad to still be a fan.   In the past five years, I've put together numerous song covers, was a part of multiple voice-acted projects (which were unfortunately scrapped D:), made a lot of friends in the fandom (and still regularly do so), and even attended two conventions (and after this weekend, three!). It's not

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

I haven't outright mentioned it here yet, but I do have Animal Crossing: New Leaf! I figured I'd toss a short entry on here to let you guys know if you didn't already.   I'm the mayor of a nice little town called Everfree (Here's my town flag). Nice villagers, nice building layout. I've got a big ol' orchard of every single fruit up in the corner of my town too.   Mostly been working on collecting everything (furniture, clothing, fish+bugs+fossils), paying off town enhancements (I should have Br

How To Block Ads And Other Images

Lately, I've seen a good number of BZPower members complaining about some members' recent banners, and some disabling all signatures or even leaving BZP temporarily because they don't want to see them. There's no need! Since I didn't see any existing guides already, here's my tutorial on how to use Adblock Plus to block online ads and other images!   You've probably seen some members mention the Adblock Plus browser extension before, but you may not know what it is or how it works. This add-on
