Looks like there's not much support or hype for the Chron or Kn projects. Which makes me SAD FACE.
On other news, I discovered Sonu Nova's weakness, which also caused his "death" (a.k.a hyperventilation, dizziness, clumsiness, and litlle-brother-answering-for-him-on the-mikcrophone-of XBL-ziness), it is the word: Shatter Baby. No idea why.
Yes. As you can see from the title, BrickFair 2012 created a kind of rebirth in me. I was reminded why I ever liked BIONICLE in the first place. I was reminded of why I joined this site in the first place. And I was reminded that the people on this site are some of the most creative, funny, silly, smart, entertaining, and brilliant people on any corner of the Internet and the world. So, beginning today, I am reborn on BZP and pledge to do more stuff here. Huzzah!
Hey friends! Today is Rare Disease Day. For those of you who don't know, Rare Diseases are those that (in the U.S) affect less than 200,000 people. Nonetheless, there's over 6,000 Rare Diseases, and this is an important issue for me because I suffer from Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1. Yes, it's the reason why I seem to spend half my time in a hospital. These diseases are called rare, however, because we don't understand them. Because we don't get as much funding as other better known
Interested in seeing how Takuma and myself banter and work on our series of Lets Plays? WELL, WORRY NO MORE, FRIENDO! Here you can see a behind-the-scenes look (from my side, at least) of how we make the videos! Don't forget to subscribe to the BZP Channel to keep up to date with the series and other videos, and don't forget to support BZP's crowdfunding campaign!
Hello, friends! Now that I'm done with a 48-page research paper I handed in for one of my classes (the one on the Sagrada Familia and the Library of Congress), and my remaining assignments are either presentations, papers, and a childcare manual, I've gotten back into trying to write and read daily, to make it into a habit again! But as a way to stop myself from using the excuse that "I don't know what to write about today", I want YOU ALL to provide me prompts! They can be prompts for BIONICL

Travel was ok, and am now staying at my big's apartment. So very excited for tomorrow, and can't thank TLG and BZP enough for this once in a lifetime opportunity! NOW, ON TO TOMORROW! (Or today, technically).
I've mentioned before being on the Forensics Team at George Mason University. Along with that comes a ton of other responsibilities, and this past weekend was an event that, quite literally, has shaped my life. In 2009, having moved to the U.S. only three months ago, I had been competing in this thing called Speech and Debate. I wasn't too sure about how I was doing, and whether this was for me. Then December rolled around, and I was told of the first national tournament we could attend, which
There's a tower built by William the Conqueror, it's one of the two oldest buildings on campus. And it's a block away from my flat. I pass it on my way out every morning. What is this place and can I haz it forever. (also hi yes i am safe and sound and england is lovely)
I need to find ways to keep writing daily And hey, at least I'm feeling this one, since it's basically my excuse to go back through everything BIONICLE and refresh my memory. So, without further ado, an Epic! ...thingy, sorts of!
This is mostly for the few of you who follow A Mystery Explored, but it also applies to anyone who felt my presence or productivity decline over the past two weeks. I had an operation on Tuesday of last week for the removal of a polyp in my small intestine. Long story short, they snipped off a part of my intestine, sewed it back together, and I've been recovering since. Nothing to be alarmed over, I had great medical care, a very high pain tolerance which has the doctor and my parents amazed
If you know some facts about me, one of those might be my freakishly great love for Cloud Atlas (the book and the movie). I could rave about both and their merits, but that'd take more than one blag post. So you can imagine my joy when I heard David Mitchell would be appearing at D.C. to promote his new book. I squealed. So I got almost late to the event but made it, and had a wonderful time. Mitchell is such a humble and fabulous person, and I respect him much more for being such a unique a
So this has been a crazy good week and a half. For those who didn't know, we had our National Forensics tournament in Portland this past weekend. We flew from DC on Tuesday, and arrived that night. Unfortunately, we spend our days leading up to the tournament in a hotel preparing, so I knew from the get-go I'd be stuck inside a hotel with no chance to visit or see anything. When I got a message from Micah (Kakaru) I sadly told him this, and let him know that I'd be stuck at the hotel. Micah,
Hey all. So, first things first, the bad news: I've known for about a month now and hadn't yet made a Blag post because I didn't want to have to say it, but I won't make it to the Faire of Bricks this year :/ Four months back I agreed to go on an all-expense paid trip to South Korea with the university's Forensics Team to do some lectures and judge an international competition. As luck would have it, I found out three months after the fact that the dates would be exactly the dates of BrickFair V
"My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still; My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will; The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells! But I, with mournful tread, Walk the deck my captain lies, Fallen cold and dead."
The panel was wonderful. The BIONICE team has kept us fans in mind, but also prepared for the new fans and context. I agree with (pretty much) all of their decisions on BIONICLE 2015. We also got to play and keep pieces from the sets. TLG is wonderful and I was so blessed to be invited by BZP and LEGO and to have this opportunity. Got to chill with other BZPers, and met the remaining cast of TTV. They are awesome and wonderful and boss. Finally, on the topic of Barnacles: Whether you like
I guess it's happening! So excited for this opportunity, and for everyone else who won! For those who didn't make it, feel free to ask me to take pics/tell you about anything there, and as long as I'm legally allowed to relay any information, I will do so! Thanks so much to the other BZP staffies and to The LEGO Group!
Usually my life is measured by the days when I'm not in a hospital versus those when I am in a hospital or when I'm afflicted by a specific thing. Since moving to the U.S. when I was fourteen, my health had been the best it ever had been in fourteen years. In 2011, I used November to do and win NaNoWriMo, convincing myself that I could do anything, and continue writing as much as I wanted. Should've knocked on a lot of wood. Next year, as November was starting, I was taken to the hospital be
14 hour bus ride to Peoria, Illinois for a Forensics tournament. It's the first big national tournament of the year, and as a measly sophomore I don't expect much success. But I'll still pour my heart out in my performances. At least the theme this year is Star Wars, so I hope to get a lot of pics with Yoda. And whoever else is there. Also got some good reading material for the trip, plus planning for NaNoWriMo. I'm also showing up at our parking lot at 4:45 a.m. as Pajama Deadpool. I'm no
If you have followed Team Farm Animals and the various exploits of our ragtag group, you will no doubt be well acquainted with our general silliness from BrickFair VA. Well, here is some extra content for you all to enjoy! (Courtesy of Sumiki!)
And in case you're wondering, yes. If you attend BFVA, there is a great possibility, if you so wish, to partake in our silly and not at all funny exploits. We'll see what joke we can come up with and then repeat so often that the phrase 'beating
