It was a slightly crazy weekend. Friday we had to worry about tornadoes in my area: one came really close. My house survived intact, and my church had minimal damage (unlike another, which had the roof torn off). My family and I spent like half an hour in our hallway, having only some power fluxes.
Then on Monday (yesterday), there was the horrible news out of Virginia. I'm saddened by this, as an American and a college student. It was so close to the eighth anniversary (this Friday) of that
So I got Pridak, but I'm not totally impressed with him. I do like the feet, big as they are, so that's not my complaint. What bothers me is he's somewhat lanky for my tastes, but less so since getting an idea from Pekel's review. (Funny that I should read that before making this: I was about to when I noticed the review.)
Anyway, one thing that bothers me about the lankiness is that it's almost as if Pridak wants to collapse. Something that seems desparately needed is some armor, which leads
Because five lines is sometimes not enough to say all we want to say and some of us like to change our signatures from time-to-time, I decided to do something. (No, I didn't change the rules.) I decided to dedicate a place in my blog to signature sayings for the departed lines: I call it the SignatUrchives. Mainly, it's for when I'm going to change my signature, but I thought it would also be nice to record other people's, as well; however, it's only for people who are changing their signatures,
There is nothing that doesn't effect you; for every action (or inaction), there is a positive or negative effect. It may not happen in the short term, you may not see anything noticeable, but in the long run, others will see it.
As much as I hate to just randomly use a bunch of quotes to make my point...
"Practice makes perfect." (Just don't practice procrastination.)
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." (And for every inaction, there is someone telling you to get up
As the television, radio, newspaper, and other media advertisements have so "graciously" pointed out over the last few months (it seems that long anyway), today is the day we get to vote. Something that every US citizen 18 and older should be proud to do.
It may seem to be something trivial, but after what the people of the past fought for, it shouldn't be taken for granted. Even people in other countries long to have some say in how their government is run or at least who runs it. Of course,
I finally made money for helping design and further design a website. I didn't get paid much, and it was for a family friend, but it's still a start.
In other news, I've basically been gone since before the 4th (very fun weekend), and then BZP slipped into an offline coma on Wednesday. Add to the fact I'm taking a college class for July/early August. So if you sent a PM since around that time or have need of my attention, I ask you to be patient and not to think I'm lazy.*

So I've been working at my college's bookstore for the past few weeks, but that's only the beginning of my tale.
Thursday late morning/early afternoon, my college had a social to welcome students to school, and there was this contest in which we put our names and phone numbers. So I'm at work that night, and I get a call telling me I won some prize and when and where I could pick it up; of course, being at work and not having time, I figured on waiting until yesterday (Friday) to pick it up.
Yeah, a few days late and several dollars short (figuratively), but I guess I should say this sometime, and I don't like to have multiple entries for one day.
Anyway, I must be bad luck for the team that loses the Super Bowl because for the past several years, I have wanted the team that lost to win (before the event began obviously). It's not because I'm sure the losing team's better or feel it's a sure thing. In fact, I'm not a big sports fan: I just like to root for someone, so I go for th
The title's a bit misleading, as this is a dual entry for two things: quotation marks in reports and reporting things that are not allowed.
Many times I see reports that should read with the quotation marks like so: "Such-and-such" topic, but the quotation mark reads as: " I don't know if that's just how it is for me, but that's how I see it.
Speaking of reports, often I get reports that say some type of topic is not allowed. Generally, it's not necessary to say that the type of topic is
"Bust" is slang, people!!
Okay, so I'm not going to Brickfest (darn that money and its costiness), but I am working on some MOCs to send to Brickfest. I have a specific number in mind of a certain type of MOC I'm working on to send, but I won't say what either is because it all goes hand-in-hand (hands aren't going to be MOC'd, by the way).
So I'm going to send the BBC Ninjo MOC plus an unspecified number of certain MOCs. Having finished almost half of them, I'll hopefully have the rest fi
First off, I'd like to say there is currently no one by the name of Member X (which is really kind of surprising). Anyway, this is not whether or not Member X does or does not exist or whether said will or will not exist. What I'm writing about is posting to let everyone know you sent a Personal Message to a certain member. Yes, you might be posting to let the person know you sent him/her a PM or asking if said member got your PM, but when you post it, you're also telling everyone else this info
