Ok, the title is actually true. Me and ten friends went out for a meal today, as it was one of their birthdays. I'll be totally honest, I have never done something like that before, because I'm far too shy, and there are a couple of complications that don't need to be mentioned here. However, this was also pretty much the last time that I would be seeing one of my best friends, as she's leaving school and going to college very soon, so I simply had to go. We'll all miss her.
I had an absolut
A plan. A cunning plan. I've nearly finished one MOC, and now I've got a great idea for the second. I don't know if it's ever been done before, but I'm going to attempt to MOC...

In my previous entry, I explained that I'd found someone that I really liked (who I shall call 'M'). I finally told M how I feel about them today, and it was awful. M doesn't think that we can be more than friends, because they've already found someone else. It was so painful to hear.
We're going to talk again, but suddenly I feel worse.
I should also mention that this is only half the story. I can't discuss all of it on BZP.
-Seran
Art is finished. Graphics is finished. Multimedia is finished. All I have left to study is Media, and I don't care about that. That means I only have one hour of school a day now.
So, um, yeah. I'm back. Expect more MOCs, art, writings, and the general bursts of rather bizarre oddness associated with me.
And, um, party in the Rift! SZ is bringing Carrot Cake, Bundalings is bringing Carpet, and I'm bringing everything else.
Enjoy!

I've had a great idea for a MOC for a whle now, and since I've had the morning off school, I've finally started building it. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but let's just say that the spine from my Proto Manta is very useful.
Oh yes.
-Seran
Yay! my manta is nearly complete...I just need to tweak the details a little bit. And there's the slight matter of the cannon...should giant robotic manta rays have cannons on their armoured backs, or not?

I was experimenting with different styles of drawing recently, and I've found one that I like quite a lot. So, here's a 'character card' for one of the characters in my third book:
It's pretty different to my old style, wouldn't you say?
-Seran
Um, yay? May 14th grows ever closer, so I'm banning myself from doing anything else until all my coursework is finished. I've only got half a Multimedia unit to do, so that should be finished tomorrow. Then, on The Day of Doom Itself, I'll be too busy panicking to do anything for a while, so the Rift will either reopen that evening, or the 15th. Depending on how long it takes for me to redesign it.
Oh yes, it's getting redesigned. 'Cos, as a wise man once didn't say...I'll be back. And we'll
I only have two weeks until all of my work for Graphics, Multimedia, and Art is due in. I'm just about on track, but I literally have no more free time. Just to let you know. I've got several great ideas for MOCs though, so expect a load after May 14th, when I have no more work.
Yup, no more work. Entire days to MOC and write and draw and compose and animate and sleep...
Now, don't expect to see me around for the next two weeks. Now, off to work on Graphics...
-Seran
I had a great idea for my entry, and I nearly finished it...but now I've had an idea that is better. Far, far better. Better on account of large mandible-thingys, staring red eyes, and the pure awesomeness that comes from a Manta Ray. Note the capitalisation, cos rays are the most awesomest things ever.
However, I'm not sure that I can pull it off. I'm not sure that I have the skills to make something large and flat...and still make it look good. I make titans, mainly...so it's a challenge.
I feel pretty good today...I've written loads for my latest novel in the last few days...a personal record. Now, I would like to give you all a nice little quote to celebrate...but why not make it interactive? You can choose where the quote comes from! The first person to post here can ask for a quote from any chapter of any of the three books. Yay for interaction!
Book I - Chapters 1 - 18
Book II - Chapters 1 - 27
Book III (unfinished) Chapters 1 - 8

The story of love and loss is coming to an end. Hopefully, I'm going out with M this Saturday. Nope, M was too busy. I talked with them last night, and we seem to be remaining good friends, which is nice. I think I rushed into things anyway; things have been happening so fast recently, I think I managed to convince myself that M and I were meant to be together, when it clearly is not the case. But enough of that. For now.
A few of you might know that Seranikai is one of the characters from th
Ok, here we go.
1. All of my coursework for Art, Graphics, and Multimedia is due in on the 14th May. I think I'm just about on track with that, I just need to be bothered to actually work on it. Which leads nicely on to...
2. Depression. Recently, I've been feeling almost suicidally depressed, as absolutely nothing in my life seems to be working right now. My laptop is still not mended, so I haven't been able to write any more of my novels, so I'm irritated. My friends are getting annoyed wi
I like art. You may or may not have noticed. But it's true.
I like expressing myself through art. You cannot do that at school. You have to make art that will get you a good grade. The examiner doesn't care whether you merely made something to express yourself or not.
But I do it anyway.
I hope to be using my blog more like a blog now - like a diary. Hopefully, that'll help me a lot.
I can hope.

Part one of my problem solving is complete. After speaking at great length with all my good friends (love you all ) I think I'm back on track with my identity.
A lot of your probably didn't even know that there was a problem to begin with, but it's my blog, so I can discuss things as I feel like it, right? Except for things that might be inappropriate for BZP considering the age guidelines, but hey...that's cool.
Lots of stuff happening this week. My laptop is being irritating (namely, tur
Today, I'm going to rant about the game series, Baten Kaitos. More specifically, I'm going to rant about how understated it is.
I found Baten Kaitos completely by accident. I was watching a DVD of game trailers that I got free with a magazine, and clicked the wrong link. I immediately found myself watching something that would change my life.
The trailer was outstanding. Full 3D, interesting plot, great characters, and the music was amazing. The story of Baten Kaitos revolves around island
I was looking through my archives of stuff from my old two computers, and found a single photo of this really old MOC:
According to the photos, I made it in October 2005. I think it was meant to be a form of Makuta. It's something of a rarity, as 2005 was when I got cancer, so I hardly had time to make MOCs.
Enjoy.
Well, I've finally decided what to make for my entry. Which is a start, I suppose. Two MOCs. Maybe more, but two main ones. Maybe brown and red. Maybe not. Maybe pink. I don't have any pink pieces, but that won't stop me! Or maybe it will.
And it looks like there will be no silver or gunmetal in sight. I'm still waiting for a contest where I can use my ridiculous amount of gunmetal pieces. Maybe I was a fool to buy them in the first place?
It's such a lovely colour though...
EDIT: I've
This is Karzahni?
The Matoran are fine. Really. No worries there. The spiky thing looks interesting. Lots of useful blades there. Karzahni himself...oh dear.
If it wasn't Karzahni, I wouldn't mind so much. But as it is, I dislike it greatly. The Karzahni I had imagined was black and gold, with a mask, standing tall and noble like Brutaka. He's not evil, merely confused. Instead, he's portrayed as a green, hunched, portly animalistic thing.
There is no feature here that I like, unfortuna
No Titans No Toa No Matoran No giant, evil, tooth-laden Rahi Just cute, little, subtly complex bundles of cuddly Rahi. Now we separate the MOCers from the Mockers.*
BBC 42 FTW! Time to think cute...
*It's a lame pun, yes. But what can I do about it?
I expect you want to find out who won the first Lemon Club Challenge. Well, all of the entries were exceptionally good, all with their unique styles. Bundalings and I had a hard time choosing a winner. However, after a lot of consideration and poking stray llamas, we decided that the winner is...
Limona, Toa of Lemons by Aanchir: Rachira of Time.
The sheer amount of lemonness shown was lovely, and the idea of the lemonade stand was very creative. So, what are the prizes? Well, not only doe
