I passed the drivers test earlier today. I got a few things marked off but not enough for the test person to fail me. I messed up right at the beginning because I didn't look both ways when I backed up, I thought I did though. I also stopped in a crosswalk instead of behind it. And when I was pulling out of the 90 degree back in parking spot I left it in reverse so we went back a little before we went forward.
Now I get to drive to work today.
I finished watching The Legend Reborn last. I thought it was a good movie although the ending leaves too much unanswered. I also thought the animation was okay, I'm not sure I like it more then previous movies though.
Spoilering the rest

I've started watching TLR. I really don't have a large enough time block to watch it in one sitting. Sunday would be my best bet but football is on then. I'll probably finish watching it after I get home later tonight.
I'm also sad right now, I went to Target earlier today and the Advent Calender was out of stock. Judging from the online availability list I'm wondering if it will ever be in stock again. Of the ten or so stores listed online only two had it, in limited availability. Nei
My mom picked up The Legend Reborn from the Library earlier tonight. Now I'll finally be able to watch it. The only trouble is I'm not sure when I'll have time.
I am extremely busy this week. My troop is having a camping trip this weekend so that's pretty much out. My mom also picked up Follow Me Boys so I have to watch that too.
I got a hair cut today, actually it was a buzz cut. It's almost the same thing.
Now my drivers license picture should turn out decent. My permit picture looks terrible since my hair looks bad.
I'm also trying out a new signoff. I my try to shrink it down at some point but right now it's what I'm using.
(13 days until my drivers test)
I got Mata Nui. It's the first Bionicle set I've bought since I think 2006. I also the first LEGO set I've bought a while too.
I like it, it's also fun to bounce the Thornax on my desk and watch it jump all over the place. =P
Target has the Advent Calender $5 off until the 25th of November so I'm probably going to get that later this month. I think I'm going to do a post every day on it. It may be just a post reviewing it or I might do something different. It will all depend on what
Last night was my final behind the wheel training. I think it went pretty good. When I did parallel I almost did it perfectly. I did it perfectly the first time but the second time I hit the curb, which isn't great but it's still better then hitting another car. I'm going to have to go do some more driving. I'll probably go geocaching sometime this weekend over by where the test will be at.
The test will be next Thursday morning. Less than one week away.
... or at least not permanent changes.
I think I'm going to stick with Mysterious Minifig as my BZPower display name. I how it sounds and it's reasonably unique.
I'm still working on consistently putting my sign-off in my posts with out editing though.
Here is one of the songs I'm playing right now on the piano.
Prelude in C minor by Fredric Chopin.
I find it pretty fun to play. It was difficult when I started learning it because most of the chords are an octave.
Black Six raised my proto earlier today for my News report. I'm now in the Premier Outstanding BZPower Citizens Group.
Thanks to Black Six for the Proto Raise.
My brother had a birthday party today (his birthday was earlier this week). Our family and a bunch of his friends went to a bowling alley at the local college to go bowling.
I ended up hitting 120 on my first game and 104 on my second game. My all time best was 167 that I threw a couple of years ago. I was pretty happy with my first score, it beat my uncles score by one point. We were pretty close and I threw a spare in the last frame so I got an extra throw. I got a nine on the extra th
My Troop had elections last night. The only positions really elected were patrol leaders, the rest of them are appointed after people submit what positions they would like. We also rearranged the patrols.
I am now a Junior Assistant Scout Master/Web Master. I get the fun job of building the troop a web site. I had one started on geocities a while ago but then they are closing down the end of this month. I think I'm going to go with Webs.
It seems like my troop has been having an atte
For the last couple of weeks my house has slowly been invaded by yellow jackets.
We have a nest in the corner of the house near the front door. Last night we had someone take part of the siding off and there was this huge hole in the foundation where they were getting in and out. We foamed it near the hole but I'm not sure how much good that did since the actual nest is probably pretty far into the foundation.
On Saturday we turned on the furnace and it got pretty crazy. We killed alm
So, for those of you who have read some of my past entries, I've been biking on and off to my classes. The times I didn't bike one of my parents ended driving me.
Anyway to start off whenever I bike I wear a helmet. Not usually, always, I actually turned around and went back to the house one time because I somehow forgot my helmet. This is due to two things, one of the them is that I did a persuasive speech for speech class a number of years ago advocating wearing your helmet when biking.
Who is this mysterious midnightsage? He is listed in today's member spotlight.
A member search pulls up no results and a forum search pulls up some assorted RPG topics from COT but no information on him.
Leada matches him in almost every way, but according to his name history he never had midnightsage as his name.
Yesterday my Jamboree troop had it's third meeting. My patrol is the Norway Pine. I think it is the most normal patrol in my troop right now. One still has to be be named and the other two are the Flaming Chickens and Kool-Aid.
I now get the fun job of going through and trying to figure out what everyone's e-mail address's are. Looking at everyone else's stuff I really don't have bad handwriting.
We also have to start our fitness program so we don't die after walking about 10 mile
I ended up biking to school this morning. My had something else going on and so she was unavailable to drive me.
I was not looking forward to biking, because it there was a chance of rain. Luckily that didn't happen but on the way home it was starting to sprinkle.
I wish the bus route came closer to my house. I live for enough out of town that nearest bus stop is a 10-20 minute walk. I can ride the bus for free with my student ID but I don't want to walk 20 minutes to get to the bus.
I'm leaving this afternoon after Math class to go up to my grandparents cabin. We'll be having our annual Labor Day party with some friends on Sunday, this will probably be about the 31st year it has happened. Obviously I've only attended about half of them. Last year it almost got canceled though. My Great-grandmother was sick for the second half of the summer so it was up in the air about whether or not it would happen.
I'll probably be back Tuesday morning. I'm going to be doing some
On Sunday I met with a counselor for the Personal Fitness merit badge. I got everything signed off for it. He was very impressed with the documentation I had for the work out program. Apparently he has had a lot of scouts who were extremely vague on what they did for it. He also said he would help me prepare for the Eagle Board when I get everything done.
While I was at camp this summer I earned the Emergency Preparedness merit badge. I am still waiting for the camp to send me the comple
My College Algebra course has been pretty interesting so far. We had an algebra review test on Tuesday. I ended up getting one wrong because I rounded something to the hundredth decimal place instead of the tenth decimal place.
When the professor was going over the test answers apparently some of the students gave multiple choice answers. Lucky for them the professor didn't marked it wrong, I don't think they'll be making that mistake again, though.
We also learned how to determine
When I ran Avast yesterday it found something for the first time. Apparently I had a 5 or 6 compression bombs in my Firefox cache. After I reading a bunch stuff that was online I realized that there wasn't anything extremely dangerous about then, just that they're zipped files that could grow extremely large if unzipped.
I also defragmented both sections of my hard drive. I guess it didn't really need it but I thought I do it earlier then rather then later. I don't think we ever it did on
My Homeschool group had it's graduation ceremony on Saturday afternoon. It was a pretty good ceremony. Two of the graduates gave the keynote address, it was good but last years was better. They also had a slide show which was nice.
Before the end all of the graduates played two songs as a band. I'm Letting Go by Francesca Battistelli and Lose My Soul by tobyMac. Both of those were pretty good.
Yesterday I had one graduation party. Mostly what I did was playing Volleyball. I also dis
