Rahkshi Request

Could someone please post me a picture of a Stars Rahkshi's head/back on a normal, unmodified 2003 Rahkshi set?   Posting it here for all to see would be best.

To All You Skeptics...

There's a story coming up on Australia's 60 Minutes about a crime wave in the Gold Coast that the police are powerless to stop. This is VERY CLOSE to where my friend from my Taming A Street Teenager entries lives, and could very well be the same crime wave he was caught in!   Needless to say, I'll be watching the story with interest this Sunday, and might mention some things here from the story later.

I Suck At Pokemon

I'm trying to make and battle teams for the Pokemon Video Game World Championships (or at least an Australian tournament that may use those rules), but I'm failing SPECTACULARLY!!!!! I am currently in the bottom 50 in the server's rankings! Worse, no-one wants to tutor me, so I can't get better!

Taming A Street Teenager Part 2

A while back I told the story of a friend of mine who had been plagued by gangs and killers for 10 years. Last time I posted, he was hiding in an abandoned house. Well, the news only got better from there.   He was able to escape the house and make it to the library, where he knew no-one would look for him. From there, he was able to make it home.   I then showed him my last blog entry on his life story. He understands everyone's doubts. He knows this sounds too dramatic to be true. But it is tr

My Train Trip

Today I took that diesel train to Stony Point (though I nearly missed it because roadworks made it almost impossible to find a carpark). The seats on the diesel were very comfy, and made the trip much more enjoyable.   Stony Point itself, however, was boring. All it was was a jetty, a caravan park and a fishing area. This goes to show that this trip was all about the journey and not about the destination. TBH the only point I had in doing it was to experience travel on that kind of diesel for th

Storm Damage Report

In my last entry that no-one read, I stated that a massive storm was about to hit. That storm ended up being pretty much the worst I've seen, comparable only with Cyclone Pancho at the Cuboree of 2008. Hail the size of marbles fell, and they fell so hard that I was afraid they'd break windows! The bottom of the house almost got flooded, as with the front yard. One of my smoke detectors also began leaking, apparently through a crack in a roof tile above it, so I was forced to take it down and dis

Trains

Something I've always loved doing was travelling to new places on trains. I've loved trains my whole life, and always got a thrill out of train travel. Lately, though, travel along the train line I live near to the city has become stale, because I've done it so much in my life, and as of late, I've travelled parallel to the line by car quite a bit, to and from my nan's place (before she went in to care).   When I move away, I hope to live near another train line for a fresh change. Many train li

You Know What I Miss From The Old Forums?

Very funny topic closing posts! SPIRIT and Turakki #1 Lavasurfer (mainly) used to do them all the time, and I always looked forward to seeing their closing posts. Sadly, both of them seem to have mostly disappeared, and AFAIK no-one as of yet (except Nuhrii the Metruan just recently, prompting me to make this entry) has made any sort of attempt to make a funny topic-closer.   If I'm wrong, please do enlighten me.

Why Must People Be Nitpicky?

In my previous entry I stated that I wanted to contact and befriend a Canadian with incontinence and a fear of social media, as much as I want Bionicle back. However, I was stupid enough to say "almost as much", and got flamed about it. Not even a word about the disabled person himself!   Why are priorities more important than the well-being of someone disabled, dare I ask? >   I've wiped the comments clean so we can start fresh with REAL discussion.

Happy Birthday Dorothy The Dinosaur!

According to a REALLY old video from the Wiggles (I think it was their first) called "Wiggle Time", November 3 is Dorothy the Dinosaur's birthday! Judging by the release of the video in 1993 that reveals that she turned 5, she would turn 23 today.

Your Second-Grade English Lesson For Today

That's right, YOUR lesson, not YOU'RE lesson!   Okay, let's begin by learning about the words "there", "their" and "they're". "There" refers to place. Eg. "I live just over there". It can also be used in such context as "There is no need to worry." "Their" refers to possession. Eg. "Their lawn needs mowing." "They're" is a contraction. It is short for "they are". Eg. "They're not heading to school today." Now, next up is the difference between "your" and "you're". "You're" is another contra

Waiting Too Long For Dinner

Well, today is my parents' anniversary, so they're out for dinner atm. My brother is also out at respite for the week, leaving me home alone for the night, so I only get to cook half the lasagne I usually cook on a Thursday. Sadly, it's taking twice as long to cook! I have to wait an hour instead of the usual half an hour! I LOVE MY LASAGNE! I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!

Why Should Age Matter?

If you really like something, you shouldn't let age or your social life stop you from enjoying it. I personally don't believe in growing out of things. Such a concept is only an excuse for trying to fit in with the social norm.   Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a teddy bear to cuddle with!

Furby

Sorry; I have a habit of being nostalgic. This time it's the owl-like Furby that was so big in the late '90s that even I had one!   Anyone else remember them?

Why Can't Bionicle Return?

I'm sure Lego would've learned from their mistakes of making brittle pieces and using the Inika and Av-Matoran builds over and over.   I'm sure they could go in trillions of directions at LEAST with the story now that everyone's together on one now-whole planet.   I'm sure Toa Helryx, Artakha, the MU Robot, Kojol, Lariska Johmak and the Sisters of the Skrall would make brilliant sets.   But why is no-one giving them a chance?

The Freedom Of Minimodding

One thing I love about BZPower is that we're allowed to point new users in the right direction when they make mistakes. We're not allowed to do that on any other forum I frequent; they all call it minimodding, and infract you for it. Here, it is actually ENCOURAGED, because the staff here know that it makes their job easier.
