Hero Factory: ...Not sure yet. Continue observation.
Atlantis: A Must. Cool Shark-people are amazing.
Power Miners: Also really cool. (No pun intended.)
Ben10: NOT A CHANCE. Mom says they look like Duplo-ized Bionicle.
Toy Story: Possibly. The Wild West set looks really cool.
BIONICLE: yes, but just Tahu.
That one horror that terrorizes every high schooler twice a year- Semester Finals.
thankfully, I only had two today. my third period class is more like an independent study time, so I got to leave early.
which means about four hours with the house to myself. and my dog.
and the forums are a lot less crowded, so the pages load a lost faster.
Is fun.
Had our first broadcast tonight... I did a news segment with another sophmore. Dad says I need to talk slower.
can't wait for next week.
Oh, and finals are next week... Joy...
IS AWSOME.
and it didn't hurt that I got to see it in 3-D. But my eyes HURT afterwards.
In other news, that annoying english project is almost done. just need to put it all together...
Ya know that english project I was so exited about?
big waste of time.
After two days of re-building my castle, sorting a lot of my lego, trying to get my lighting equipment to work, and towing everything everywhere, I discovered something horrible.
None of the four cameras my family owns are compatible with istopmotion. I check the list of cameras that are, and there are about 20 out of 200. or at least that's what it seemed like. basically, there are very few cameras compatible with
Every January, Locals from all around the county to participate and enjoy the area's most extreme, Epic, fantastic sport.
Donkey Basketball.
Yes, I'm serious. Donkey basketball is a fundraiser put on by the PTA of a local town, and everyone comes to the new High school gym to watch local ranchers, businessmen, teachers, and lawmen play basketball on donkeys. It can be quite the hilarious experience. Hilarious because the players are frequently getting off their donkeys, and having
I got this assignment for english, and I'm estatic over it.
We're studying authurian ledgend (you know, excalibur, the sword in the stone, Arthur and the Knights of the round table; that stuff) and we have to do a project on the legends. we can do posters, power-points, re-enactments... just about anything to present our information..
and, of course, I have to think outside the box and come up with a wild idea: A MOVIE.
I was planning on getting some friends together and acting out Sir
I hope it's really good. and an original LEGO theme. because when you look at it...
*there are two new liscensed themes this year
*BIONICLE sets are discontinued
*there is only one original theme coming out this year that is LEGO original.
so the totals are: (when it comes to sets)
Licsensed theme:
*Ben 10
*Star Wars
*Indiana Jones
*Toy Story
*Thomas (duplo)
*Bob the Builder (duplo)
*I'm debating whether or not to add Spongebob to the list, because that theme seems to be dying
Turns out, we didn't have the bonfire. but we went sledding. and played Apples to Apples. and Super Mario Galaxy. (okay, so that was just me)
It was still a lot of fun. Can't see the blue moon though, because it's too cloudy... i think. my window's on the wrong side of the house. mom says it's not really blue, which is a bummer, because I like blue.
Happy New year!
I'm going to a bonfire at a friend's house. my brother is attending the middle school party. I have no idea what the rest of the family is doing.
or, I could just stay home and invite everyone over for games, snacks, and aud lang syne. or was it something else...
and I'm going to do some chores real quick. I don't know about any of you, but I would like to start the new year with a clean room.
I got a Car for christmas! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!
It's just.. well, I know I'm short, but I'm not THAT short.
I also got a guy for Christmas. he's also on the short side.
okay, In all seriousness, here's what I got:
-itunes gift card.
-the Candlestone, the Circles of Seven, The Eye of the Oracle, and The Bones of Makaidos by Bryan Davis
-Witch and Wizard by James Patterson
-Alligator Tears by Anthony Horowitz (the latest Alex Rider novel, although I'm not quite as exited about this
it's finally here. mine is slightly marred by possibly having to work tonight. it depends on how many people are willing to brave the cold for some sandwiches. all the other restaraunts are closed by now, so we might be getting all of their business. but like I said, it depends on how many people want to go out for dinner on a cold night. with no other reason to go out.
I helped mom wrap my brother's special present. I won't tell what it is, because I don't know if my bro will read this betw
Want a hippopatamus for christmas? it wouldn't fit under the tree, it would cost a lot to take care of, and you really can't snuggle with it easily like you could a cat or a dog.
the Christmas carols are getting to me. the song Santa Baby is driving me NUTS, mostly because I've heard it too much, and it was in our Christmas concert for school.
...the sixth day before christmas!
The wedding was great. Really short, though. it took about 10-15 minutes. which is shorter than the last wedding I went to. (the groom's sister)
I'm in one of the best hotels in the world.
Great Wolf Lodge. Waterpark, Internet acess, MagiQuest game- this place has it all. the only thing this place is missing Laser tag.
I'm in paridise.
(on another note, my cousin is getting married tomorrow. hence my stay in Great Wolf.)
that it can be really, really cold in one place, where it's normally really cold, while normally warm places can get snow?
yeah. Arizona has snow. but We don't. I wish we did.
not that we'd get a snow day out of it. three inches, and we'd still go to school. I hear that in the big cities, a light centimeter of snow is enough to close the schools. Not out here.
ya know, I don't know what it would take to get a snow day around here. We may just have to make one.
(but not until our s
CIVIL. WAR.
for the non-oregonians, the Civil War Game is one of the biggest football games in Oregon. What happens is that our two biggest colleges (University of Oregon and Oregon University) play each other in a huge, famous game. (seriously. Tickets have been sold out since the beginning of the year. University of Oregon are the Ducks. Oregon University are the Beavers. (I like to call the neuteral people the Platapi.)
It's also a big thing at school. My current events teacher (a Ducks
okay, so first I go to school. I find out that one of the freshman, and a fellow choir student, had shot herself last night. (she's in a hospital, and she's stable. She'll be fine)
I come home for third period, and I find out that the BIONICLE sets are being discontinued.
I don't get anything done that I wanted to
I work overtime
And my sandwich didn't taste good.
It's just not my day.
on another note, I don't really want to know anything about this new theme. I just hope the
Okay, since no one has commented in last week's poll, I will just set it aside for another time
this week's poll is actually a question.
Poll of the Week 6
Should I return to comic making?
1. yes
2. no
3. I don't care
To be truthful, I cannot make up my mind. so I'm asking for your opinion.
I don't really feel any older.
but it's nice to be home. I just got back from honor choir, which was okay. I learned that it's a really bad idea to give high-schoolers cake before a concert. (although, seeing what they were doing to the bus earlier, it might just be a bad idea to get them wound up.)
But today was also my sixteenth birthday. I got my SusieMag, (YAY!) the double Daring Book for Girls (which tells you how to dye your hair with kool-aid) and the aforementioned cake. Now, it's
Here's the fifth poll of the week. was too tired last night to put it up. and it was, like, 10:30.
