So I went to Best Buy to return Dragon Age: Origins. (It's not what I'm interested in at the moment), and then I went to look for Halo: Reach so I could buy it. I found it, but I also found a bunch of games I also wanted, among them Transformers: War For Cybertron, Halo 3: ODST, and LEGO Harry Potter.
I compare that to being forced to pick either a million dollars or a contract with a really good publishing house.
Feel free to yell at me (as Akaku already has), but I picked War For Cybertr
I literally just picked this up this afternoon (my brother got it the other day and loaned it me, since I expressed interest), and I'm only a few dozen pages until I finish it. Rick Riordan is one awesome writer.
That being said, it hasn't motivated me to take The Lightning Thief off my bookshelf yet, but I have a feeling it won't be long until I do. That being said, I doubt it'll be as interesting as The Red Pyramid, because of the differences -- I think becoming the host of an Egyptian god
I think there are two major ones in my life: The "Get-Inferna-to-start-looking-at-colleges-like-a-normal-high-school-junior" conspiracy (created by my parents and school district) The "Get-Inferna-addicted-to-caffine-like-a-normal-person" conspiracy (orchastrated by everyone I know) (I mean, seriously -- my friends all seem to drink those Monster and Rockstar things; I can literally smell the caffine coming from the opening of those cans)

I've finally decided how to pick Akaku's replacement.
After considering trying to get my hands on a three-sided dice/coin, I decided to just put it to the general populace, and choose for themselves. The nominated consist of:
-Japoro: Toa of Ice
-Kagha
-Darkness Eternal (Kini)
Alright, let's get rolling.
*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
So I'm actually doing what I've been toying with doing, and that's taking commissions for various Metals projects. The money will go to fund various things in real life (yes, Akaku, that includes Reach), so here's how it goes.
Embargos
There are a few things I will flat-out refuse to do. Avoid at all costs: any rubbery pieces (i.e. Inika masks, Skakdi heads, etc) Launchers/Launcher ammo Ehlek claw (tried already. Epic fail) Now that the list of doomed items is done … on with the rest!

. . . I don't care that it's the school year now. I should at least be able to help pick and choose the times I'm allowed on the comupter. Is four hours a day so unreasonable?
Apparently for my mom, it is. Two hours a day. That's how long I can have access to the Internet at home.
Expect me to be on a lot less.
Okay, guys, I'm working on something for my school's newspaper right now, and I need some help on it. The article is the Top Ten Worst Pick-Up Lines, and if you have one (or two) that are bad or cheese-fests, post it here.
Thanks!
Today while I was working on my Algebra 2 homework, it came to mind that nearly every Role-Playing Game I've played in has ended up with someone falling in love with one of my female characters. Here's a list: Xom/Kini/Windsaber/Burnmad/Kagha/Rockhound/anyone else I forgot for Inferna Firesword in BZProvince Jake/Scythe/Pfeffer for Lauren Adrastos in Kingdom Gaeabionta Aaron/Zack for Fleur in Kingdom Gaeabionta Jake/Zack for Lauren Silarya in The Last Revolution Rusiev for Jane in Kingdom Gaeabi
This time, it's for my Valentine's Day fic. It's really lagging, mostly because of procrastination (what else?) and a lack of will on my part.
So, just like last time: If you have any threats, bribes, or just go and kick me in the butt, go ahead. I need all the motivation I can get to finish in time for 2/14.
So while BZP was down, I was having fun doing other things (I'm actually starting to get a life. It's a freaky concept, I know).
Thing One: Listening to Linkin Park's new single "The Catalyst". Seriously, it's been less than three days and I'm head over heels in love with that song.
Thing Two: While I'm on the subject of "The Catalyst", I happened to notice that the release date for "A Thousand Suns" (the new LP album) is on the same day as the release of Halo: Reach. It's probably a coi
What would it take for my usual readers to leave a review for the latest Wings chapter? I already promised I'd get Reach so Ak and Kini would, but what about you guys?
*is open to anything you throw at me*
Apparently the wax in my Metals class likes me so much it wants to stick around.
For the second time in the same week, I've accidentally spilled hot wax on my hands. It's not so bad once you stick it under a cold stream of water (I'm not as heatproof in real life as I am here), but peeling it off left my right hand feeling a bit tender.
>.< I think writing will be out of the question for a bit.
" . . . that tonight's gonna be a good night."[/black Eyed Peas]
Well, I am getting a feeling, this time for a songfic or two. Anyone else think that "We'll Be Together" by Sting and "Sober" by P!nk would make good stories in my H&H series?
'Nother Spirit Week. >.> Monday(today): Twin Day (didn't do this because I forgot, and I don't want to be anyone's twin) Pajama Day (I'll do this one, since its warmer than it should be and I have some good PJ's ) Wear Your Crush Day (don't ask, cuz' I have no idea) Hug Tag Day (I'll explain later) We only have four days since we get Friday off.
And at the moment, I'm having fun writing a really bloody story. Nothing like blood and guts to make V-Day vibes go 'poof'.
(aka: DeeVee's finished commission xD) A pair of '01 Kakamas, cast in yellow bronze (once again Mark decided to ignore my instructions for white bronze >_>), held in my hand to better show their shininess. Expect these arriving in your mailbox soon, DV. (title reference: Here)
Here's the thing: you know that "Welcome" content block in here? I wrote that up for the heck of it, but now, after my completion of The Forbidden Game books ... it gave me an idea for a multi-chapter Halloween special. Whether I post it as an epic or as a serial here in my blog ... it doesn't matter. This will be awesome.
*dashes off to use ideas*
(PS: If anyone wants to help me in this, comment below. I need at least three other characters to accompany the main characters; they can be ba

Yeah, sure, it sounded like the right choice at the moment I read that straightforward PM, and sent my reply back. Flattering offers? You bet. A great honor to be asked? Most likely.
Would I have been able to pull it off, all those responsiblities offered to me, on such a small amount of computer time? Probably not, and that's what I said in my reply. I felt it was the right choice, and it was.
For about five minutes.
Ever since, I've been wondering if I could pull it off in such
So for the last couple years at WWU (this year and the year before that), I've been living in the same dorm room. This is a problem. Why? Well, the room I'm in has a reputation for having an insect infestation every spring quarter. My first year here, it was silverfish, though I was fortunate to not have to deal with them. The last two years, the years I've been living in the room of evil? Carpenter ants. And not just any carpenter ants. My roommates and I have had to deal with the reprodu
A Thousand Suns (Linkin Park album) Halo: Reach (video game (which singlehandedly made me want an Xbox 360, just so I could play it)) Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (DVD) some Barbie movie I don't care about (DVD) *conspiracy theory*
Alright, time for the recap! Getting to Seattle was difficult, mostly because Akaku and I didn't have access to my car -- and in any case, I had no experience driving downtown. We wound up taking a bus or two. Not the most efficient, or comfortable, way, but it got us there. Things seemed both a bit packed and yet not as packed this year. Lots of impressive MOCs, though! Special note to a remote-controlled R2-D2, and a remote-controlled mouse droid (those rolling toaster ovens that ran aroun
