My 16th birthday is coming along smashingly. I haven't had the actual birthday celebration because we're waiting for my Dad to get home from work, but I already got a couple presents: Bionicle Legends#7, a card from my little brother (Whose age squared equals mine), no homeschool today and nice cinnamon rolls for breakfast! Also, Kame made me my very first birthday topic. Thanks Kame!

Why? Because my cold has been fought into remission, my lower jaw has adjusted to my retainers, I'm done with Driver's Ed (Which I just realized I hadn't mentioned. Bad Arpy.), I've started an awesomeful Bionicle MOC, posted a couple others to do with Frogspace, and it's my birthday tomorrow.

I am sick.
Four days before my freaking birthday.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--*sinuses explode, showering computer screen with phlegm*
Must...fight...sickness...
Oh, and my lower jaw hurts like heck thanks to my new retainers. So, I'm not feeling terribly physically great right now... I really hope it's all gone before my birthday.
>_<³

...Primarily because they have just been released from the braces that have held them captive for the last ~2.285 years, only to be replaced by retainers designed to prevent my molars from sliding forward into the gap left by my nonexistent, genetically missing permanent teeth, so now my entire mouth feels weird. Curse you, maternal genetics!
Oh well.
We got our new camera, and although the quality is similar to that of a cell phone (at least in the preliminary pics I've taken), I can po
The other night I got this inexplicable craving for some cheddar cheese, so I cut myself a nicely sized block of the stuff. It was about 3" by 3" by 1". I ate the whole thing. Then I had an awesome dream that I was Captain Jack Sparrow and I could dodge bullets from SWAT Teams and I had a hairless rat trained to obey my every command. I think I'm going to have to do this more often.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
'tis good to be back in the land of the bloggy.
I regretted my sabbatical almost as soon as I started it, but the money I would've used to renew my Premiership went towards saving for for the awesomeness that was Brickcon 2007. But now I've renewed for life, so 's all good.
And yes, BrickCon was perfectly awesome. I got there about 11:30, met Roa, xccj, Kopakanui, and a couple other people from other sites. For the next ~1.5 hours, I divided most of my time betwee
(N.B. As the Bloggies can attest, the original title for this entry was "Aiiieeeee!" I changed it because I figured I'd get more views this way.)
Anyway, tons of stuff happened lifewise while BZP was down.
Perhaps most importantly, I and seven other TFOLs have formed our own Lego design site, on which we shall showcase our models. I need to check if I'll be allowed to link to it, but if I can, it'll probably replace Brickshelf as my primary image hosting site.Also, I just passed 3000 po
So, to steal an idea from Bundalings, who stole it from -SZ-, and modify it a little... What do you think is my best Bionicle MOC to date?What do you think is my best System MOC to date?Oh, and while you're here, check out my nifty microscale racer.

...Optimus Prime.*
No, it's not mine, and no, it doesn't transform. It is still freaking awesome.

So I got Deathly Hallows like two minutes after midnight. I finished it at 3:12 am PST. It was awesome. The number of completely unexpected things that occurred was unexpectedly high...but still awesome. I should also mention that I was the first person in line at 8:56 pm... I was joined a few minutes later by a rather attractive Ravenclaw, with whom I had a nice chat for a short while. Then the store owners, taking pity on our hardcore fandomness, let us in early to watch Goblet of Fire, which

I'm still Premier... Odd.

There's like a new blog being created every 3.9 seconds...
*eagerly awaits his two BZP bricks, as well as the release of Deathly Hallows*
I plan to build an awesome spaceship with them.
Oh, and that week-long free blogs thing? That's actually my doing. Bink liked my blog so much that he used the sixth-year anniversary as an excuse to give me extra blogging time. At least, that's what I've deluded
Muad'Dib Kitteh!
Yeah, so I just found that lolcat...Rather good timing, since I just reread all the Dune novels I own. I must admit that I had not previously considered the effects of melange on non-human species.
I have two more things for you to ponder before I take my sabbatical-thingy: Item #1: Why is W the only letter of the English alphabet to have more than one syllable? Item #2: Imitate Bundalings! Fad must grow! Spice must flow! Join me and :Venomess:! Arpy

No, not BZP, just this blog. My Premier Membership will expire any day now, and instead of renewing, I'm just going to run around unemboldened for a while, back up my photos, and take a break from blogging. I will return before my birthday, if not sooner.
In the meantime, my profile will serve some of the same functions as this blog: You can see my latest MOC topics, and I'll update my personal statement sporadically with Arpy-related news. There might even be a møøse.

I have now set foot on the same ship as Johnny Depp, Patrick Stewart, and bunches of other cool people. My life is now approximately 19% (Actually, disregard that, it detracts from the blatant exaggeration.) complete. I also had a very nice lunch.
Arpy
...it has a name.
That is so awesome! Isn't that awesome? I would love to have five whole cubic yards of compost! And my very own certificate of recognition! Gosh.

We've been experiencing record heat up here for the last few days. The temperature is past 90 degrees, which has never happened as far back as I can remember. Over the last few years, temperatures have been in the low 80s, tops. Anyway, I've been spending as much time as possible inside, where it is marginally cooler. I allowed myself 11 days to reread all the Harry Potter books in preparation for Deathly Hallows, but what with the heat and all, I've already finished the first two and am startin
I haven't been blogging as much due to an explosion of summer jobs which caught me by surprise. They have been cutting into my free time a lot, but on the plus side, I'm making in excess of $70 a week, so I can't complain. Also, the weather's very nice right now, so I'm spending more time than usual outside enjoying all the nature and stuff. Oh yes, and I was inspired to start building my first spaceship in months. 'tis curvy-SNOT-a-licious! The only problem is I can't build it in black/lime gre

"Actually, they're quite good on toast."

Oh awesome, we have acronym tags! OMGROFLMBOBBQIGFY! Unfortunately, my trademark Arpy color has disappeared from the menu. Fortunately, I know which number it is (cc6600).
Happy Independence Day, everyone.

Edit'd!
We has a winner! ChocolateFrogs, by virtue of being the only entrant, has won the honor of being the first person to put one of these in his blog:

P.S. Confidential to Bundalings: Remember that one contest? The deadline's tomorrow. If you plead nicely enough I might extend the deadline.

I have to go to camp. Right in the middle of the New Fruit War. So I'm going to wave my white flag of surrender before my blog gets hit by watermelon shrapnel or something. Like the French.
We surrender!
No, wait...
We un-surrender.
Humphrey and I have decided to reject that particular part of my heritage and instead become a neutral nation/blog. Like Switzerthingy. Or Belgium. Or something...

Summer is here! Needless to say, I'm basking in the wonderful lazy feeling that comes from the realization that I don't really have to learn anything for the next two months, unless of course I want to. Since I don't feel like posting a "life" entry (due at least in part to said laziness), I shall instead post this list of awesome words that I have compiled: Foibles Squoze Fray Frangible Purulent Indubitably Kumquat Albeit Uxorial Belgium Iniquities Serf Ablutions Temerarious Abut Besmirch Pic
Well, my mom has announced that she is once again pregnant. She did this first on Saturday night, when she went out for dinner with some friends (and again on Father's Day to my little sibling, who weren't at the dinner). She did this by making up custom fortunes and stuffing them into fortune cookies, which were served after the meal. The fortunes read:
The baby's due date followed. Now obviously, that little poem-thingy just doesn't work. My main problem is with the last line, which has to
As of about eleven hours ago, I am A+ Certified student, thus giving some meaning to the long hours spent in class trying to learn while the slackers and lazy bums goofed off and generally disrupted the learning process, as well as the even longer hours spent riding public transit with all manner of foul-mouthed and obnoxious ingrates. I don't think it's a coincidence that the only people who have got their A+ are homeschooled. Anyway, in four-to-six weeks, I'll get my nifty certificate proclaim
