"Ⅽhristmas Lights" By Coldplay

This has to be one of my favorite Christmas songs. That piano tune is so memorable. I based a Pandora radio channel around this song and the resultant playlist is five times better than any Christmas radio station I've heard, so that makes me appreciate the song all the more.

ЅЅⅭ8 People's Choice Results

Insert much pumping of fists here.   Based on the voting pattern in SSC8, I was half-expecting my entry, Ignition, to fall into second place behind Grant-Sud's Divided We Fall. That was avoided, but barely. I guess I can confidently (albeit somewhat prematurely) call myself victorious.   Congratulations to all the people whose entries reached the People's Choice poll, and a slightly bigger congratulations to the Judges' Choices. Expect a more official-sounding post when the official SSC8 results

ЅЅⅭ8 People's Choice Poll Update

I've determined not to look at the polls until later tonight. I don't want to keep checking them every quarter hour to see if my entry is in the lead or not -- the last time I checked was yesterday and Ignition was leading, but only by one vote.   Wow, is this poll suspenseful. *crosses fingers*

Lego Lord Of The Rings

Is anyone else geeking out over this news? I bet the video game will be awesome, and I'm intrigued to see what Lord of the Rings sets are made.   EDIT: Huh, I translated the following as there being a video game:     Perhaps not. But a video game would still be awesome.

Romance Story?

I consider myself averse to romantic stories. Not only do I feel like they're aimed above my head (I've never experienced romance, myself), they usually come off as corny, making the lovers seem like they were destined for each other. Romance is fine in the background -- I dealt with it in Avatar: The Last Airbender and all of the Star Wars movies except for Episode II -- but in essence, I feel no love towards love stories. Pun intended.   You may be surprised to learn that, for a while, I've be

Go Flyers!

In lieu of the Philadelphia Eagles performing well (which they decidedly aren't), and in light of purchasing NHL 09 for my sixteenth birthday a while back, I've switched from watching football to watching hockey. Now, I've seen the Philadelphia Flyers on not-very-good days; sometimes they'll go all out through the first part of the game but fall apart in the latter part, letting the other team come from behind to win. That was not the Flyers team I watched this night.   Note that the Flyers have

ЅЅⅭ8 People's Choice Poll

My story, Ignition, may not have won a Judge's Choice award, but it still has a chance to win the People's Choice poll. While votes would be appreciated, be sure to read through all of the entries before deciding which one is best -- winning fair and square is better than winning because I told people to vote for me.

The League Of Authors

Obligatory plug.   Nulie runs the League of Authors through entries on Velox's blog. The setup is very nice, the challenges are inspiring while vague enough for different people to have different interpretations -- all in all, this deserves some more attention.   If you're interested in participating in creative writing exercises, reviewing stories so others can review yours in turn, etc., definitely check out the rest of its blog entries.

Switchfoot

Has anyone heard of this band? I first found them through Pandora radio -- they've made some cool songs, ranging from pop ("Gone") to hard rock ("Dark Horses"). I'm listening through their songs online at the moment.

Rant Ideas

Seeing as the last one I wrote is apparently too political or controversial, I can't think of anything to write about that would be protected by BZPower's rules. Any advice?

Rant Against Profanity Overuse

'Tis about time I posted a rant.   * * * * *   Before you read this rant, I would like to make clear that I am not arguing against profanity in its entirety. I am arguing against overusing profanity.   Look around yourself and you will see that insulting has become a staple of our culture. Go to a social networking site or listen to conversations in school; I am sure you will hear teasing in the latter and read outright flaming in the former.   I am also sure you will hear or read profanity.

CΟТЅЅⅭ2

I swear, this contest was made for me.   My current idea takes place within the apocalypse genre, though if that genre turns out to be overused I'll switch to steampunk (barring the fact that I have no plan for a steampunk story. Yet).

Something Funny

In every message forum I've joined apart from this one and another, I'm a staff member of some kind. Of course, those other forums aren't as big as BZPower, but still.   I've pondered trying more seriously to report news to BZPower, but at the moment I don't have enough time. At the moment I'm satisfied with making sure my proto count doesn't go down a few notches and daydreaming about purchasing Lifetime Premier Membership.

I Finally Watched Iron Man

'Twas awesome -- a little adult at parts, but still awesome. Robert Downey Jr. did a fantastic job playing Tony Stark, who had a somewhat unexpected personality that still worked for the character. I'm logging two hours and five minutes of my life as "not wasted".

Sixteenth Birthday Loot

Below is my complete list of booty from my sixteenth birthday. The last three items on this list are items I procured today; the first three are from my uncle, nana, and a friend during our annual Thanksgiving dinner; and the middle one I received from my grandmom yesterday. Sadly, because I have to wake up at six AM tomorrow for homeschool co-op, I can't watch Iron Man this late. Maybe later tomorrow I will.   -Fifty dollars -Two ten-dollar Chick-Fil-A gift cards -1000 Best Smart Money Secrets
