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 haven't been around a lot, for those of you who've noticed. Between AP History test coming up and other IRL stuff, I've been off BZP for a while. Haven't properly been BZPing in ages, and I've only posted a little every now and then.
I'm doing my best to get back into the swing of things, but I don't know how much I'll really be able to get on. I'm tryin'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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
Not because I didn't like the Tahnok-Kal one; I thought it was really cool. It's just that whenever I posted, it really didn't go with the Nuva Team Assembled rank image at all. Just looked bad, the sepia banner and av next to the brightly colored rank image. So I went with something new.
First, I tried a Mata Nui/Makuta rock (you know, from 2001, the black rock and the beige one from the Legend of Mata Nui) banner/av combo, and it worked with the rank image, but just looked really boring.
Simple question here: Should I start to type in blue, bold text, or keep it normal?
Like that.

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
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!

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
I've decided to create my own entry in the Blog Contest, and make it the temporary new name for my blog, because I don't have enough entries to justify ending the contest.
I'd like opinions on Why things are the way they are and aren't going to change no matter how much everyone wants them to: good, bad, great?
Oh, yeah, and I got Tahu and Krika from K-Mart the other day. They're great, and the Nynrah are probably the best projectile launchers out there, but Tahu's doesn't work so well for s
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 "
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.

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
Should be discussed in Spoiler Tags, but won't be.

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
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.

I just can't be a blogger. It's been how many weeks since my last entry, and I've haven't updated the blog at all. All this time, I've been posting and posting and posting, but no blogging at all. I got this brand new set-up, cool new format and everything, and then I just don't use it. At all.
Well, you know what, I'll try to blog some more, but it'll probably be restricted to little random things, and not really following the cool format I was going to do.
I'll get one of those in when
Decided on a new policy today. Not going to type in complete sentences for a while now. Or, if accidentally complete, at least sentences that seem incomplete. Or short. Why? Because it amuses me.
Also, considering new av. V for Vendetta. Read the comic. Thought it was okay. Not as good as I expected. Still really like the idea of a lunatic in a Guy Fawkes mask blowing stuff up, though. Think about it.
