The Clawwww

Somebody tell me how to win on of those crane games. All I wanted was the pretty black-and-blue panda. He looked all lonesome by his panda self. He needed a friend. But the clawwww refused to grip him. It made this Rahkshi sad   ~|ET|~

Goodbye

Tomorrow, I'll be going on a short vacation to Cedar Point and will be gone for three days. Just to let you guys know... (I'm talking to you, Dokspit. Please don't fill my inbox with sig reports again. )   Oh. And anyone think I should remind Black Six about removing my blogging abilities? Heh. Sometimes being in your own member group can be pretty nice.   ~|ET|~

Bleach: Not The Chemical

So, as some of you may know, I enjoy reading/watching mange/anime, though only a few at that. One such manga/anime is Bleach.   Let's get this out of the way, first: they didn't show a new dub episode last night for whatever reason, and that's what made me think of doing this blog entry. Sometimes I think I'd be better off watching subs instead of hoping the dub will keep a regular schedule...   Anyways. For those of you who don't know what Bleach is, here is the Wikipedia article.   In a nutsh

Bouncing On The Moon

Even at the age of 16, moon bounces are still fun. (Also known as an inflatable structure.)   ~|ET|~

Dangers In The Night

So, at around 12:55 AM on Wednesday, I awoke with a start. There was a noise, and a strange one at that. Having just woken up, however, I was still groggy and a bit dazed. Then, it hit me: glass. I had just heard the shattering of glass. Did somebody just break into my house?!   No, nobody did. The shattering was right behind me, and nobody could quite literally enter through the window in my room. It turned out to be nothing more than a lamp. After I woke my mom to help clean up the mess (Which

Cedar Point

So, I'll be going to Cedar Point on July 30th for a sort of family vacation. My sister and I were each allowed to bring a friend, and, with my parents, we'll be staying there for three days.   I'm pretty hyped about the trip, but also a little nervous. I know I'll have a ton of fun at the water park at Great Wolf Lodge, where we're staying, and at Cedar Point itself. I love roller coasters, and I know there are some pretty intense ones there. However, that also seems to be the problem. I don't k

Decade/2

So, I have now been a member of BZPower for five years. Five years ago to the day, I finally went and registered an account after lurking the forums for a few months.   Boy, does it seem so much longer. But, it's been a good five years. Yeah, there have been times where I just felt like leaving - even though this is just a website, you still interact with people, and that can easily cause stress. But, I digress...   I've done a lot in these five years. A lot more than I probably expected when I

Metal Death

A dangerous, vile monstrosity has just recently been thrust upon me. To make matters worse, for some reason, my parents actually insist I asked for it. And the name of this monster? Braces.   Almost two weeks ago, I went in to see the orthodontist so he could put braces on my upper teeth. I expected it to be horrible, but, aside from the long wait, it wasn't all too bad. Of course, immediately afterwards, I absolutely hated it.   I also had an expander placed between two of my molars. This has

Aaaand I'm Back!

Well, it took a little bit to get things fixed, but I now have access to my blog again, thanks to BZP's anniversary.   Of course, this is a horrible week for it.   I've got band camp all week - that means from 8 (really 7:30...) AM to 4 PM, I'll be offline. Joy... But it's even more complicated because of my new braces (more on that later).   But, yeah... I'm back to blogging.   ~|ET|~

Kennywood

My band's first major performance is this Tuesday night at the amusement park Kennywood. It's a pretty sweet place, honestly.     This year, we're playing one of our half time songs, "Fly Me to the Moon," rather than an additionaly song picked solely for the parade. If it's anything like last year, it'll be no problem. I'm just looking forward to having some fun at Kennywood. Phantom's Revenge... First seat... Is simply awesome.   And that's it for this week's band-related activites, practic

The Picnic

Lol, I didn't really hold up my promise much, did I? Well then, I'll post an entry, like, every twenty minutes or something. But I did have a good reason.   ----   My dad's fiftieth birthday is coming up in a few weeks. He didn't want a party. So we threw him one today. Perfect cover being we were having a family picnic 'cause my great aunt and uncle were visiting from across the country. But the best part was how we had to lie 'bout what we were up to all day. I could have sworn he was

The Final Day

Hmm. It's the last day for blogs, isn't it? Man, I was gettin' used to havin' this... And to think, I used to loathe blog-hosting sites. I guess I still do, really. They're too chaotic and people are far too revealing about themselves. But here... Wow, I've told you I play in the band and some trees fell over.   I'm goin' to make several entries today to conclude this year's anniversary. Seriously. I won't forget. Entries will include my take on BBC Contest #45, what happens today, an

Aftermath

Well, it's now been two days after the storm... And damage reports are most definitely in.   I got off so easy livin' higher up away from any rivers. Pittsburgh got slammed...   Well, I now know that five of my trees fell over or were moved. Two pine trees were knocked down, one tree was just tilted over (It was relatively small and is now upright once more with the aide of some pipes), and two additional trees were knocked over from several feet off the ground. And those ones... Pretty tall

The Green One

Well, I've recently acquired a certain green Titan set... One that gave me some fame for quite a while... But I'm not going to tell you who it is.   And if all goes well, I'll be reviewing him. But even if I don't, I'll share my opinion in the official review topic. I want to get my revised opinion on this guy out somewhere. (EDIT: Oh, and this blog doesn't count. )

Bioniclesector01 Wiki

I knew I had to do it eventually, and as I can't think of anything else to write about at the moment, I figured I might as well do it now.   The BIONICLEsector01 Wiki, commonly known as the BS01 Wiki, has recently ran into some trouble. We were kicked off of our old host most ungraciously. But the worst part about it is that Swert didn't have enough time to save everything in the Database.   But, what does this mean? The Wiki is now back up, so what's the problem? Well, we've pretty much los

Storm

I'm experiencing a pretty big storm right now.... Constant lightning and thunder, rapid rainfall making a barrier around my house, strong gusts of wind. And my house is shaking.   And my dog is scared out of her mind. She keeps trying to hide in the windowless bathrooms as usual, but when she does she locks herself in and tears apart the door.   And, according to my grandma, a tree's down in my yard for the first time in years... Well, her yard, but we're neighbors so it doesn't really matter

Sleep

I'm unusually tired considering the time of day...   I got home from band practice about an hour ago. And I do believe half my section mutually agrees upon a certain emotion for at least somebody else in the section. We experienced this during band camp, but it was hotter tonight than it was then... And that couldn't have helped much.   Now, back to the subject of sleep. I have typically gone to bed around 1 AM this summer - staying up to watch Bleach. But the past few days I've been going t

Good Morning

Well, still nothing to write about, I guess. Band practice tonight... It, and the next 2 practices after it, have been lengthened for an hour 'cause a lot of people (myself excluded, of course) were disrespectful to our assistant band director while our director was away. And I do mean myself included. I know how Mr. O does things, and I listened. But most everyone else didn't...   Oh. And go read my entry two down. I spent a long time writin' that one. And, of course, it was right while t

The Server

Well, it's back up... I haven't really wanted to make a blog entry while the forums were down 'cause only staff would've been able to see it. But nothin' interesting has really happened, so it was really no problem.   Though, I did make to make, like, 30 posts in the past week while the board was offline.

Band Camp - Over

Due to my inability to access BZPower until just now, I was unable to conclude the band camp series... So, I shall do so now, summarizing Friday, Saturday, and today (Sunday was boring ). And I wanted to see what's wrong with the blogs... Nothin' seems wrong to me, but apparently there is for others.   Friday Okay, Friday was miserable. The whole day, a large storm was on the weather radar, so we were always hesitant to go outside, most notably my band director, who constantly went into his

Day Four

It's day four now... Only one more to go...   Well, yesterday was much, much better than the day before. Things sort of relaxed some, though there still some obvious tension.   Methinks I've been forgetting to tell more about what we do... We don't just march and play music. Oh, no. We couldn't possibly do that for only ten hours a day. Thus, our band director plans a marching competition and a random game at about 3-3:30; just before the two hour break for supper. And out of the ~80 membe

Day Three

Though day three is tomorrow, I'm writing this now.   Band camp has been horrendous done. We've fought more amongst ourself than actually doing anything productive.   I'm quite distraught right now. I feel like I need to talk to my band director... He's giving too much power to the section leader, or perhaps more so stress, and it concerns me. But I don't know what to do.   *sigh*Just a few more days... I'll survive them, but then we've still got a whole football season to live through.

Day one was... Interesting.   I had some fun with my friends, sure. But not nearly enough.   I hate my section leader... *sigh*

Band Camp

I'm in no mood to make a blog entry, but I will, just to tell you all where I'll be.   Band camp starts today. The hours are 8 AM - 4 PM and 6 PM - 8 PM. Ten hours. Five days. And I forgot to set my alarm today, so when my sister woke me up, I wasn't too happy to just be thrust into my mom's chaotic attempts in keeping order. Seriously, I have no idea what she's trying to do. She's asking me things I told her several times yesterday. Ugh.   So I'm not going to be active this week. Maybe
