Because people smile a lot, even when it's not natural to do so. Friend being beaten up by someone else? No problem! Go up, ask your enemy to stop and smile! Solves everything!
Haha, not.

Remember when he entered—and won—a Bionicle RPG contest with a protest entry? What a rebel and role model! Way to metaphorically stick it to the proverbial man! or something like that...
Update - 29/4 - The fund is officially opened. If you want to send me money (cash or check or credit card) let me know so I can give you my mailing address. This is the tricky part.
I don't know if I'll be going.
What it has come down to is that I simply do not have the money. Usually, $400 for airline tickets isn't too much for us, but in this case, it is, what with all our current expenses and all. We're living beyond our means as is and that extra $400 can be a serious predicament fo
I typically don't talk about my Scouting life here, but here's an update. I'm a section chief, which basically means I'm like a regional governor of sorts. My area is all of Western Oregon (the I-5 corridor) including some of northern California down to Castle Crags and up to Southern Washington, including Vancouver. As such, I lead some 2,500 youth and adult members of the Order of the Arrow and represent them at national planning meetings as well as have a say in the direction of the organiz
Today was exceptionaly warm, sunny and everything seemed fine. Dad was still as stubborn and confused as always, and he was "searching for him house" as he almost always does when confused, not realizing he -is- home. Now we all knew he was not able to drive anymore (we knew that a while ago) and even thye docs and medics all shunned his driving, but when he wanted to do something, he'll go to extremes to do it. He walked out of the property and down the road in the direction of town, and Mom ca
If only colours were allowed (though I'd be willing to make an exception in this case!)

Inspired for the most part by Captain Mal of Serenity for the second year in a row. The song Real Life by Tanlines is also a huuuuge inspiration. He has a shady past, and the lyrics to the song prove that. And you might think I'm still that way / It's only natural / It was a past life thing / It was a past life thing / It wasn't anything at all. His horrible former life was
The King’s Keep was the last remaining bastion of the tyrannical regime which ruled the land from the Galloping Sea in the west to the Sawtooth Peaks in the east, the sole defiant finger which positioned itself to be most offensive to all who dared rebel against the vain royal who still demanded fealty. It was a simple castle, a tower three hundred feet tall with little more than a curtain wall for protection. It once jutted out over the green landscape with the grandeur of marble, glimmering in

This is a blog from last year that I am editing to show you exactly how my mind works and my ethics that I so vigoriously show in the forums.
First, as many of you know, I am a person on wich respect is my building block. I believe that there are many ways to contribute respect and many directions to give it in.
I am fairly well recieved with the younger members who just enter the crazed city of BZP. They come out of their world of simple living and they are perfectly fine, as
I guess I spend too much time lurking in that topic -- I had a dream last night in which I wrote another sharply worded post advising* people to chillax and enjoy the game. I wonder what the next layer in this dream will be! I must go deeper!
* advise since I can't actually tell them to do anything.

Sometimes in roleplaying, people misunderstand me. Truth be told, I have a very peculiar way of doing things, and this entry is to help you understand my style. Here are ten things you should keep in mind when in the same game as I. Hope this helps!
I try to be a roleplayer of vision. Much of what I say and do in-game is rooted in my brain and memories, both from reality and from fiction. Shows like Primeval, LOST and movies like Inception and The Book of Eli help me produce this, but sometim
My laptop and I have been through a lot, and all things considered, I'm surprised it's even intact now. But we also have a love/hate relationship going. There have been times it won't start, when everything disappears, when it refuses to budge, or just plain drives me crazy with its little games. But now it refuses to boot. It's just a black screen with the cursor. Here's a screenshot.
Essentially, my computer's as good as a brick right now. Again. I've tried everything from Last Success
In case you didn't notice, I am absent from BrickFair. The reason is a lack of funding, and this might have been a good thing cuz I have several things of dire importance that had to get done quickly here at home. However, I understand the T-Shirts are doing well, so you can say I am there in spirit.
I am home from Jamboree at last! Have been home since 5 AM Thursday, but haven't gotten around to making an entry because I have SO MUCH TO DO AUGHAG~ Pics from the trip are forthcoming once I
SO! I have finally entered in a BRPG contest! After all these years of me promising that I'd enter, I finally decided to live up to the expectations and do what I said I would do. Amazing! Anyway, the initial polls are up. Here is the poll where my game is in. It's entry #5, Epoch of Despair, a mystery/survivalist game. Here is the full game. I'm looking for someone with some graphic design skills to make a banner and/or avatar for it, but most of all I need people to vote for it! The polls
“By jove, I’ve found it!” the archeologist exclaimed as he stepped into the tomb he had searched for all his life. He was an old man now, wrinkled face worn from years in the sandy wastes searching for something in what many called a fool’s errand. But now, as he entered the thing he had sought out for almost his entire time on earth, there was no pride, no “I-told-you-so” emotions, no enmity towards his ridiculers, instead he was overcome with the simplest sort of joy that rendered him speechle
I was supposed to get my braces off months ago. The right side is fine, but the left side isn't totally done, but the doctors said they can't totally fix that side to begin with! It's fine as it is, I say! Furthermore, they gave me rubber bands to wear for the last couple months to correct that side and it never budged. Soooo... what's the solution? Give up? Nooooo.
They give me a huge spring in my mouth. And it can't be removed.
And it hurts.
And will obstruct my eating.

Also, make your t-shirt design and submit it! It could win the contest and be on the torsos of all the BZPower humanfigs at BrickFair and BrickCon this year! How cool is that!?? Details in the entry below.

Today I will make a rant. Yes, I do indeed rant, how surprising it may seem. What is the subject? Why, the banner/ signature misunderstanding!
First of all, how many people have made the mistake of stating "I give credit to ____ for this sig" or something like that? ____ did not give you your sig! He gave you a banner. This is a banner:

Proto Energy: What Is It and What Does it Mean for You?
Proto. We all want it. Some have more, some have less, others are just at the dead center. But why? Why are some people so eager to have it? And furthermore, what does it mean to have it?
Well, let's start with an example. Member Asdfg has just joined BZPower and is brand new to the system. He's a good member, has been tutored through by a Greeter-- errr, Mentor, and he's doing pretty good with a couple dozen posts so far. He's a nice
