I woke up to cold. That's usually nothing to worry about, but I found frost on the ground . . . along with snow.
We're barely halfway through November, and the Puget Sound area has snow.
*raises fist and shakes vainly at the sky* >.<
*shakes head* Alex, Alex, Alex. Don't you know it's not good for your sanity to become attracted to nonexistant people?
Waitasecond . . . I'm attracted to a nonexistant person . . . Now I'm a hypocrite. T_T
Last week's winner: Necro, who hit the answer bang on the head(well, mostly).
Answer: The man was a diplomatic courier and he visited the embassies of 30 countries, all situated in Washington. In law, an embassy is part of the country of the embassy and not part of the country it is situated in.

I got part of my next writing projects done at the library today, when the weather was stormy. (Ironically, the project in question had a storm going on in it too.) The bad part? I had to walk home in it.
Walking home, in the middle of a thunderstorm, surrounded with tall trees?
NOT FUN.
I'm starting work on a medallion in Metals class. And just like my last project, it had to do with Bionicle. I had to make the design by hand, since I couldn't size down the picture enough to make it from wax, but what the hey. It's cooler that way.
Metal: Silver
Design: Here it be
That'll give some DJs/rap arists/whoever wears bling these days a run for their money, I'm sure of it.
Let's get this party started!
Puzzle Contest -- Round 1
Rules Don't share answers with each other, even answers you know aren't right. Doing so will get you disqualified for that round. This also applies for stealing another person's answer when you didn't come up with it yourself. You may, however, share theories. If you come up with an answer with the help of another contestant, make sure you mention that you did so, and who that was so I can give them credit. Each round, I will post th
I'm considering starting a logic puzzle contest or such here in my blog. I've got a book of those things, which my family, Rockhound, and Robo can all testify have tough questions. Give you guys a week to work on it, with the clues attached, and then reveal that week's winner and the answer a week later?
What do you guys think?
I didn't go trick-or-treating, but I did wear my creepy-cool costume. I've written two things for the occasion. One is a CoT poem, and a Bionicle songfic. Considering my dad is watching The Shining right behind me as I speak, I'm fairly sure I'll have a hard time getting to sleep tonight. Happy Halloween! (Or as I prefer to call it, Samhain. )
I'm seriously wondering what kind of family mine is. I mean: My parents let my little brother try some of their beer, even though I repeatedly voiced the opinion that it was a bad idea. (I STILL think that.) I came on to the laptop last night to find that all websites -- from AIM to Google to BZP and Brickshelf -- had been blocked on my account, and remained as such until Dad fixed it.
I don't know when or how, but someday Mom will pay for all that. I missed 35 emails because of that!
*realizes that someone turned on my CD player, and turns it off, thus silencing AC/DC's "Back In Black"*
It's been a busy week, guys. Since I was absent for the past week or so (why, I'll keep to myself), I've been doing quite a bit. Here's a quick runover: I've become hopelessly addicted to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I'm struggling against Tabuu right now in the Subspace Emissary, but hopefully, I'll kick his butt soon, and not the other way around. I'm still having technical difficulties with
I have a few things in real life to handle (don't ask), so I probably won't be around as nearly as often as I usually am. In the RPGs, Rock/HN get my KG characters, and Rock gets Laural Thluile in Reality. I'm not sure about Astra Lixue in Reality; I suppose I can handle it myself when I am around.
Rest assured I'll be back to my regular schedule by next week.
Okay guys you asked for it.
Here be the Noble, Bronze, Shelek.
Gallery when public
That little lump on the left side of the mask, just above the eyehole, isn't supposed to be there (the investment material got burned when the plastic was burned out), but I decided to leave it alone.
Anyway, Mr. Walker was all over it when I pulled it out of the mold (he showed it to everyone in the room, and repeatedly said that it was awesome ), and he came up with this crazy idea to make molds of
That'll teach you not to leave me unsupervised in there. I went in there looking for Halloween costume components, and only came out with one.
I did get a ton of books, though.
A bunch of Animorphs (now I don't need to borrow them) a couple of Bionicle books I didn't have (sadly, they didn't have Time Trap, the one Bionicle Adventures book I don't have ), and a few other things.
I did come away with a mask, which will be painted red once I get my hands on some paint.
In other news,
Finally, no more PSATs! Sitting in the theater for four hours stank (especially what I had to go through for bathroom breaks >.<), but getting to miss four periods -- *realizes everyone is glaring at her*
What? Oh yeah, you want me to post pictures of my bronze mask. Well, I got it back, but it still needs work (it has a huge lump of solid bronze on the back that's weighing the entire thing down), so I'll post pictures once those are taken care of.
In other news, I MISSED OUT ON OW
I told myself I wouldn't enter any more RPGs. But now I've got a Night Ride profile hanging around my laptop!
Gaaaaah, what to do . . . I've got so little time these days . . . >.<
. . . except I felt I had to make a blog entry.
So yah. However, I'm expected to get my Noble Mask of Silence (in solid bronze) back from Mr. Walker either tomorrow or Wednsday; hopefully tomorrow.
Aaaaand I have to take the PSAT in two days. >.< That's put a dampener on things.
Isakson (my English teacher) is doing this unit on heroes (=D), and right now we're working on a project about "The Hero's Journey", or the steps our heroes take to fulfill their destiny. We're supposed to create a poster with references to such media versions of this.
So me and Lexas get together in English and make a list of reference materials, drawing off books, movies, anime, and manga. Here's the list: Lord of the Rings The Inheritance Cycle The Matrix Star Wars The Lion, The Witch, and
What a weird two days. I'll go through it in bullets: I had a sore throat and bad cough all day today and yesterday. (How bad? At times I coughed so hard that I re-ate what I had for breakfast. ) Missed school, so I got an extra day to do my weekend homework. Not sure if that was good or not. My parents are demolishing their bathroom, so there's dust and rotten wood everywhere. It felt like Thanksgiving had come early, because we had turkey for dinner last night. On the plus side, I did read a r
So I came back about an hour ago. Whoo.
And I have to say, it was ROCKAWESOME.
I'll post picture links when I finish uploading them to B-shelf Pictures are at the bottom of this entry, but in the meantime, I'll just describe it with words, and hopefully that will suffice for now. *ahem*
Let's get one thing straight first: that line to get in was LONG. It must've stretched back from the entrance to the Exhibition Hall at least two blocks. But it was totally worth it, once we got in.
Not much to say here. Nothing really happened today.
Well, nothing except this:
BRICKCON IN TWO DAYS!!!
OK, I know it offically started today, but that's when I'll be able to visit.
In about ten-fifteen minutes (assuming that the plans don't change), I'll be off with Dad and the camera. And yes, I will be posting said pics here when I get back.
See you guys there! (Oh, and if you are there, I'm the one with glasses and the tie-dye skull shirt. )
