I'm in the member spotlight today!
Imagine my surprise when, as I scrolled down BZP's main page a few moments ago, when I scrolled a bit too far beyond what I normally look at, and saw this:
I read the name Vorahk9, and glanced down at the join date and post number, thinking that it was very close to my own. Then I read the interests section, and suddenly I knew: it was me.
You see, when I first joined BZPower back in 05, Vorahk was my favorite set, and 9 was my favorite number, and
I would like to announce that BZP member and apparently sometime-Revolutionary has won my Blog Contest from a while back. I refer you to the entry.
There was something wrong with the Member Spotlight wording, and I happened to notice it when I was featured there a while ago. I PMed Black Six about it, and he said that it was interesting, but naturally very low on his list of priorities. So I held a Blog Contest, asking Revolutionaries to try and figure out the error I had spotted.

Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives:
Yesterday, July 15th, 2008 -- a date which will live in infamy -- BZPower was suddenly and deliberately given a new premier member known as Cressona.
BZPower was at peace with that member and, at the solicitation of Cressona, was still in conversation with him and looking toward the maintenance of peace in the forums.
Indeed, three weeks after Cressona’s local post office had commenced mailing his pr
Welcome to the Revolution’s first FORUM HIGHLIGHTS. In this segment, we work to highlight what’s been going on in the forums lately: hot topics, member achievements, anything. In this first segment, we’ll take a look at Bionicle Incarnations, a popular forum category featuring the ever-popular Sets sub forum, the Reference Center, home to a good two or three different posters, several other Bionicle-based forums such as Collectibles and Software, and of course S&T, home of Adventurer, Ara
Said I was going to do it some time this weekend, but I got so busy IRL and all that (details? maybe later) that I didn't get a chance to start much of what I wanted to on BZP.
Don't worry, though, I'll do everything I can to update the blog and start things off again tomorrow. I've been posting and everything a lot, I just haven't had a chance to really get down and do what I wanted to do. That should change tomorrow.
-Cressona
So, does anyone approve of my blog? I could some more to fill up that content block down there...
Unrelated: working on AP History vocab >.< But BZP's much more fun, so I ended up here instead.

Look at me, blogging without a category. That's no way to create a neat, organized blog.
Anyway, I have to go to track practice in the pouring sleet in a few minutes, and I just happened to notice that noone reads my blog.
Just kidding. Having a "secret" blog like this meant that I can write whatever I want and not worry about anyone reading it. Like... Black Six is a stupidhead!

Disclaimer: I don't really think Black Six is a stupidhead. He's a cool guy, a great admin, a
As some of you might have noticed, I have returned after some time away from BZPower. Now I’ve returned, and it’s time for my blog to do the same. As you might have noticed, the categories, format, and name have changed a bit, and in this first new entry, I’m going to try to explain everything and make the new format clear.

Not really. Nothing new. Just thought that, as an "active" BZPer, I should blog a bit. Got the pep rally tonight cuz homecoming's tomorrow. Cross-country gets to go out there, get announced, and sit there while football gets celebrated. Great.
That's all for now. Got to cook dinner now, I'm leaving around 6. Gonna go to Wendy's tomorrow (I have to: when I was running today in XC, I saw that they have a new buffalo chicken burger!). Maybe.
So, yeah, that's it. Thanks for reading.

So. I clicked a link in a sig today, and it took me to a blog that informed me that the Vahki are still alive, in the form of the High Vahki. I like the idea of the Vahki fad (maybe just because I like Vahki ), but they really didn't last too long.
I'm considering starting a movement like the Vahki, but something different, something that will last longer.
My original idea, about six months ago, involved getting hundreds of members to change their names to something almost identical (like "
Simple question here: Should I start to type in blue, bold text, or keep it normal?
Like that.

So, yesterday, I was out running, and I was thinking why my blog is so unpopular when I'm so popular. After all, I only have one approval and an average of around two comments per entry. The first thought I had was that I'm not actually popular, but then I dismissed that when I realized what could be the real reason: My blog didn't have any meaningful content.
Well, of course I got to thinking what I could do to make this blog a little more meaningful. I thought that maybe some interesting

Okay, then. Spoilers it is.

Sure, he's yellow, but yellow is still awesome (it's the color of my favorite smiley: ), and that might be a prototype anyway and we might be blessed with an amazing, golden Mata Nui. Really, the design is brilliant (his design just plain looks cool), he's got cool weapons, cool mask, and cool colors (black and y
Yeah, you read the title right: I, Cressona, new Premier member and owner of a 5-entry blog (or however many it is), am holding a blog contest. I now present: the Blog Name Contest! Read on for more. Or don't. You know, whatever works.
(if you're one of those people who likes short blog entries, skip the following two paragraphs of random nonesense)
Hey, my first extract. Looks kinda nice, wouldn't you say? Really adds to the quality of the entry. I like it. So, yeah, what was I sayi
I added a content block! I think it looks cool, and adds a lot to the blog. What do you think?
If anyone can think of anything I should add to it, let me know. I have the personal photo, rank image, proto, spinny, and some other stuff, but it seems like a short list...
That's really it for now. Oh, I guess I should also add that I changed my banner and av again. I'm making the link to my blog a little more obvious now ("my blog"; you think anyone will realize where it leads to? ), and I'
Anyone ever read the book? I had to read it for English, and I just spent over 9000 hours doing a project for it, making a movie based on the book.
In case anybody cares, it's about two kids at an all-boys boarding school in New England during WWII, and how the war affects them. Kinda. Mostly it's about my character falling out of a tree and eventually dying.

I got a great idea for an epic the other day (it's actually a very old idea I've had since 2005, but I forgot about and now it's changed a lot). I'll release the teasers slowly and over a long period of time, giving me time to write it as well as hype it up, (I follow the Takuta-nui philosophy of writing the entire story before you start to post it) but I will tell you that I'm going to be researching the time period the epic takes place in... and it's in 2002. Speculation begins. Or not.
I now present the winner of the Blog Name Contest....
(that was a hint )
And the winner is... Takua95, for his suggestion of "Cressona's Croissants: Fresh from the Grille!"
Why he won:
1. Randomness
2. I like Croissants
So, in honor of his victory, I proudly present him with the prestigious Cressona Award for EPIC WIN:
Display it proudly wherever you want to, to show your EPIC WIN-ness. (like in your blog )
Also, thanks to everyone else who entered. I now present you all w
I don't know why I'm writing this, since anyone who's seen me has seen that I've changed my banner and avatar, but what's the point of a blog if you don't use it, right?
So anyway, I got these from the kopaka video in the Kopaka gallery on BS01 (that's where I get most of my images: BS01. Great place. ). Originally, I was just going to make a bunch of them and put up a topic, but I thought this looked cool, so I switched it with my previous golden hau set. I might go back to the hau when I
To go with my new banner/avatar/et.al. I'm working on making the blog actually cool, in the hopes that it will attract moar actually readers. And get me more actual approvals. And all that.
Oh, yeah, and I have a question for my readers. I haven't gotten any Glatorian yet, but I really do want to grab one before I forget all about them in the summer excitement. My local stores have, I'm pretty sure, just got them (based on the two agori I spotted a few days ago), or will get them in a few
I was gonna make a big entry explaining everything and all that, but I kept on... not finishing it... and then I realized that noone was going to read it anyway, so here's what I want to say:
I was gone.
I'm back.
Sorry for anything I meant to do and didn't get done. PM me to remind me, please.
Have a nice day.

So I'm thinking about getting a new set. My obvious first choice is Gresh, for all the obvious reasons, and if I was to get a 2009 small set, it'd be Raanu, because of the cool mask (am I the only one who thinks Raanu's mask is really cool?). But... I was thinking, and I was looking at Tanma, who I don't have, and who I still think is really cool. And if my local store doesn't happen to have Gresh, I'm considering getting Tanma. Not as a replacement, but just until I get the chance to pick u
My second entry for the day. I'm leaving here today with 1602 posts in the bag, and a brand new rank next to my posts. I'm an Emerging Fluidic Master! Celebrate with me! :happydance: (and, yes, just to let you know, I am going to do this every time I get a new rank).
Wow... Emerging Fluidic Master... that has to be one of the coolest rank names, right? I mean, I know it's just Gali Nuva, but "Fluidic Master" sounds really cool, for some reason. Add "emerging" onto it, and it sounds even
