So, I've been studying for my permit of late and it is really tedious work. I mean, there are so many rules and regulations that have to be followed. But what makes it confusing is that there are exceptions to those rules. So many things to remember. Ahhh!!! I think my brain is going to explode...
But then once I get past the test, I'm going to get behind the wheel. Yikes. My dad is going to teach me but it still seems pretty scary. It would not be cool if I crashed the car. Heh. Th
Yeahhhhh, so I know that for the past few months I went MIA. School was like a tidal wave that never receded. Well, maybe not quite that bad.... but with my class load and extracurriculars, there was always something that I could be doing. Y'know, some test to study, AP exams, SATs, math competitions, etc. I might make a longer post later on some of the highlights of the past few months...
Hallelujah, today was the last day!!! Though my summer is pretty busy, it's nowhere near as bad as
First off, I apologize for not posting for...months? Banjon Wildlough reminded me of that today. On to the entry.
Woah! Before, I was homeschooled and took a class or two at the public middle school. But now, now I'm in the public high school full time!!! It's a lot different. For example, tonight I had (have) homework in two classes, two quizzes to study for, and a test to study for. I'm sure you sixteen and seventeen year olds are thinking, "That little Freshie knows nothing! I'
I had exactly one minute and one hour to spare last night. But thankfully, I managed to finish my story and enter it in SSC#5.
Here's the link to: Blackest Heart.
I would love it if any of you guys (or gals) could read it and maybe drop a comment. It would mean a lot. But if not... *shrugs* I won't use my Jedi powers on you.

I was twelve years old, a little newbie. Bright-eyed and ignorant, I knew nothing of emoticons or spamming or flaming or little of epics. Now five years later, I'm still here... but maybe not quite so ignorant of BZPower customs and maybe holding a closer affinity for the Library forum.....
Thanks you guys, my friends, (and staff) for a wonderful five years. You have made this experience such an interesting and fun and building (writing-wise) time for me. Here's to another five!

*Sighs* Ah, it's so loverly to be done with my AP exams. Heh, all two of 'em. I know someone who had seven. Anyhoo, thanks much for the prayers and kind wishes. Some of you seemed to have a lot of confidence in me. *Cough*Exo*Cough* I thought AP World went very well. My teacher prepped us really well and I knew like, all the material on the test. It was great. But then, I suppose it might have been because it had been made easier... And because I had help. (And I'm not talking
Anyone notice the sarcasm? I don't enjoy homework that much... One thing I don't like are word searches. I have one for my Spanish class that's due in a few days and gah I'm terrible at them. You guys might be thinking, "Easy! I wish I had that!" But for me, I just can't pick out the words easily. I have to go slowly. "Pajaro? P, p, p, where's a p? Ooh, now I have to look at all the surrounding letters to find an a."
Yeaaaah, laugh all you want.
Oh, and then I have to make a b
I don't know about you guys, but when I do my homework, it helps to listen to music. I know I would do fine without it, it just makes the process that much more enjoyable. So whether it be an essay I'm writing, Spanish verbs I'm conjugating, or flash cards I'm making, I like to turn the good 'ol CD player on. (And no, I don't have an Ipod, MP3, or small music-playing gadget.)
As I'm making this entry, I'm also working on some English and listening to 'Across the Stars' from Attack of the C
So today, I had the day off. No plans. Nothing exciting to do. So what did I do this morning?
I went Christmas Tree shopping!! Whee! I love getting 'em early. C'mon, who wants one around after Christmas? My mom, brother, and I first headed to Target where I bought a few makeup items. (No, no sets) Then, we made our way to Home Depot. It didn't take too long to find a good one but before we brought home a nice pretty tree, I had to use my persuasiveness. Due to prices, they were
*Hums that one KitKat song to self*
Anywho, I have a pretty creative mind. As some of you may know, I've written lots of epics, SS's, and even a comedy here on BZPower. But my problem is not finishing things. It's not like I've stopped writing them, rather that I add a new chapter once every few months to each story.
So what am I going to do? FINISH THEM ALL! THEY MUST BE FINISHED!!
As I was saying, I definitely want to complete every single one of my stories. But here
*Sigh.* So lately, I've had tons of "blogable" stories/info and no time to write it. I've got to admit it, blogging is about one of the last things on my list these days.
What changed then that allowed me the time to sit here and write an entry? I'll just say it's a little thing called Spring Break that has no definite plans lining it yet... (and there probably won't be many) But before now, I've had tons of school stuff going on. It's like the teachers want to get in all their best lick
So this afternoon my brother (Israeli Toa) left for his final semester of college. I love it when he's home, so naturally, he leaves and... I get sad. I don't know if I'm just weird, but maybe those of you who have older brothers understand. But break seemed so short and now, it's nearly over. At least school starts Tuesday so I'll get to see some friends again.
Ah well. People grow up, and leave, and eventually get married. (I cannot even imagine that! Well, I can, but it's just str
Anyone familiar with the song-title of my entry? Did I just say something in treespeak?
But, as I was saying, shouldn't all teenage guys on a BIONICLE site know High School Musical? If you don't... shame. What is wrong with our culture these days??
So I should change the entry title to Get my head in the mood! I really, really want to finish my epic To Be or Not To Be. I mean, I've been working on it for sooo long. So, in order to finish it soon, I really ought to get cha

I told you I'd get pictures! The background could be better but at least they're not blurry. I changed the weapons and some of the limbs. I wanted to put a lot more blue in because she barely looked like a water Toa before...Guess where I got the pieces from??? My brother's Vahki Bordahk! (He does have two of them)
So please, tell me what you think! I do think she looks a little better, but I want to know your opinion.

A few writing updates for ya'll:
Firstly, To Be or Not To Be is completely written, though, I'm waiting to see if I'll get any replies before I post the epilogue. Feel free to check it out!
Secondly, and most importantly.... (Drum-roll, please!) Well, remember how I said till I was finished with TBoNTB, I wouldn't write any more of any other epic? Soooo, now that I'm done writing it, I've continued on with Toa of the New Republic. Honestly, I'm really pleased with how the thirteenth
Since the Opening Ceremonies, I've watched the Olympic Games and have followed the medal count. It's been a lot of fun to watch, especially the swimming and gymnastics. Maybe it's been so exciting because I couldn't do what those Olympians do. Well, I do swim a fair amount, but gymnastics??? You've got to be kidding me. I can't even do a cartwheel!
I have been supporting the United States throughout all of it and will continue to. But, I still think it's so cool how all these countr
I don't like being sick. Headache, fever, backache, gah. Heh, who does? But, it's especially hard at school where there's no comfy bed or couches to rest on. Desks aren't exactly ideal for sleeping or resting. I mean, as I was outside, the grass looked so nice. I was trying to imagine what other students would think if they saw some girl lying on the grass.
Well, at least I'm feeling a little better now. I love Tylenol!
So, I took the PSAT today. Thankfully, I wasn't feeli
Yo, peoples, go check out this link! It's a project headed up by Hahli Husky called, and I quote: "Elements 2 - A Bzp Writers' Anthology". Basically, it's a collection of stories by ten or so hand-picked authors, of which I was one of them. I'm honored to have been chosen and I miraculously got my story written in time. By the way, it was my longest ever, over sixteen pages long and six thousand words or so.
So go, shoo, check out all the awesome stories there (including The White Lady'
Over the past few months I've written a sci-fi short story and I just posted it in COT last night. Check it out here. Honestly though, I really would love to hear anyone's opinion on that, considering it's just a regular story based off of my own ideas, not BIONICLE. So let me know what you think. B)

Now I have to get into rebuilding mode. *steels self* But I have a few brighter notes.
A very Happy New, everyone!!! I hope 2009 is a blessed year for you all.
Here's a little list of my BZPower resolutions for the year:

Imma just postin' a quick entry to let you guys know that the creative side of my brain hasn't been sleeping. As a matter of fact, chapter 10 of To Be or Not To Be is up!
Feel free to read (if you dare), enjoy (if you want), and.... let me know what you think? ...... Or not. Whatever.
Now tomorrow is the day for mass stories review (for me, that is). I'm sadly way behind. I'll definitely be busy.
Oh, and one more thing.
GO, CARDINALS!!!!
-JG
Yeah, I know 'real quick' is bad grammar but I don't really care at the moment. In fact I did it on purpose.
I know I haven't done many entries lately. Y'know, school, life, writing, etc. And the writing has been really been put on the back burner. Well, anyhoo, I started my entry for S&T Contest 5 last night. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish it pretty quickly, especially considering the deadline is next week (May 4th).
*Sighs*
Typical me, eh?
And then I've had after
