The more time I spend on BZP, the more I realize I really have no purpose here. I've been a jack-of-all-trades, dabbling in writing, role playing, theorizing and general discussion, but I never really have been able to make any of my actions a permanent part of my BZP life. Sure, I have a fair amount of fame, and there are many who could recognize my name from seeing me around, but I don't think I have any actual part in the BZP society.
Some people like Lady Kopaka and Nikira have artwork t
The creek is not running anymore. Thankfully, I filled in our water tanks before, so we have about 5000 gallons of water for now. I hope.
We really need to update our archaic water system.

Squirrels mate for life. So, if you ran over one squirrel, it would only be right to run over the other one for the sake of honor, cuz you're putting the mate out of it's mourning.

I'm so tempted to go to BrickCon.

But, hypothetically speaking, if I were to go, anyone in the Oregon I-5 corridor interested in a ride in exchange for part of the gas bill?

Don't ever take running water for granted until you've lived for at least a month without it. Kinda like what we went though. Showers once a week, stinky bathroom, sink full of dishes...
But we have running water for now. Creek has enough water now and tanks are being filled up now. Woo.

Costco is coming to Roseburg in the spring. I'm so happy about this, and mom and I will be applying for a job there when it is possible.

In other news, cucumbers invaded the onion shelf and the squash lived up to their name. In the dining room, an army of cutlery took on a silverware resistance group and owneded their lives. The glasses stayed neutral as spies for all teams, since their transparency is better than any camouflage, but the dishes fled the warzone to the cabinet cita
I'll be getting a car this weekend. Or is planning to.
It be a yellow and black 2003 Land Rover Freelander sport utility mini-SUV. It's got everything I need for when I am doing outdoor treks, and all we need for towing or transporting. So yay!

She may be entry #3 now, but that does not mean she can't have first place! Vote for The Tree House!!
Why? 1) She had her birthday a couple days ago and this could be considered your belated gift to her, 2) I met her and she has the EW Thinks This Person is Awesome and Stuff approval, and 3) I said so, 4) The ShamWow guy says so.

Edit: Contest over, Nukaya places second; many thanks to all who voted for her. =D
1) I went to Philmont in late June, was the Chaplain's Aide and second-in-command kid of the crew. Hiked 75-ish miles, climbed the second-highest mountain in New Mexico, etc. Came back a smelly, tired and messy kid, just to be sent off immediately to...
2) Camp Alton F. Baker, being second-year camp staff.Added authority and privileges since I'm senior staff now, and again was in the ecology area. Put up with little brats, expelled a couple people, was troop guide for the council troop's Nati
Okay, so I have GIMP... And I may be able to do simple things with it, but anything beyond putting text on an image and inverting it and all is beyond me. Anyone a pro at GIMP and wanna tutor me a bit? xD (It's a few projects for the blog contest.)
~EW~
Edit: Nevermind, a friend helped me out. xP Thanks, though.
I have trabismus. The doc said twelve months; maybe more.

Did I succeed in scaring you? And you, Nukaya? Scared?
You may know the condition as 'lazy eye,' and it is not going to kill me. It should be fixed with a year or so of therapy.
I've known that my right eye veers to the side sometimes for quite a while now. For at least a year, Mom has made comments about how hard it is to tell what I am looking at when we talk, and in recent history, my eye's curious movements hav
Does anyone remember that old Lego.com game where you controlled a little Technic/robotic car in a nighttime European city, and you spied on people, eavesdropping on their conversations and stuff? Cuz, I can't find it, and I can't even remember the name of it. It's not on the site anymore, but if anyone has any information on it, like it's name, ifit was archived, or even better, if there is an offline, downloadable version, I'd really appreciate it.
I just suddenly wanna plaaaaaaaaay iiiiii
