I'm really glad that BZP is back up again. I actually became a premier member several weeks ago, at the start of 2007, from a Short Stories Contest (I highly recommend all who read it to compete in the next one, because it's definitely worth it), but I haven't blogged until now.
Anyway, I've been at a camp since mid-July. It started on the 14th, and will end this Friday. The camp is called CSSSA or Innerspark, and is 4 weeks long. At first I was reluctant to go because I didn't really know m
And so it's been four whole years at BZPower.

...........I could say that it feels almost like yesterday, but I'd be lying. I don't really remember my first days as a BZPower member that well. The couple of months before and after are clearer, but I have next to no memory from my first day as a member, exactly four years ago now.
...........I'd seen the BZPower website before, in the winter of '03 – but its vast wealth of possibilities did
Upon reading through the Should Kinetics Be A Toa Element? poll, I saw fifteen pages worth of members' opinions on the subject. Many of them were strong, most of them were clear-cut, and some of them took up ten pages when pasted into Microsoft Word. Almost all of them provided a new opinion on the topic, looking at it from different angles. I saw dozens of opinions I had previously never thought of or even considered before.
This is the first time during my four years at BZPower that I've be
ACADEMY STUDENTS
Name: Kono Bora
Member: MoE
Age: 12
Rank: Academy student
Missions completed: n/a
Personality: Bora hides his true emotions on the inside so people don't think he is weak because on the inside he is kind, caring and want to help. His likes are ninja battles, training eating ramen. If he showed his inside emotion he would like to hang out with ninja buddies, and be a lot more social. His dislikes are losing in battles, failing exams in the academy, and sushi, but because
Kulagi's Kanoka: one of the epics that I read before becoming a member here, it played a huge part in leading me to join. Thanks to xccj for writing this and for directing me back to the story! =D
*will be rereading one chapter a day*
My apologies for my irresponsibility. I never finished posting character profiles after leaving, but at least I'm doing it later, as opposed to never, right? ^^;
Anyway, here's my first entry in my 5-entries-in-a-day series. Here goes...

Brief Team History:
n/a
Sensei:
Name: Hattori Hanzō
Member: Kakumei
Age: 24
Rank: Jounin
Village: Konohagakure
Personality: Hanzō's not a passive person, or someone who likes authority, he is a true ninja in keeping secrets and being sly and sneaky, yet he loves to have a laugh.
He will not, however, remain cheerfull in battles. Quite the opposite. He will usually sink into a state of Zetsubō [despair] and lose the will to fight. He can also apply this state to ot
I've just changed my avatar to a 64x64 drawing that I edited myself, on Microsoft Paint. A year and a half ago I had been asking friends to make avatars or sigs for me, often to go with the fads at the time (Marvel fad, I is a Fish fad, etc.). Now, though, I can fully operate such complicated (so it seemed back then) computer applications to create or edit drawings of my own.
Even though this is just a small accomplishment, I can't help but be proud of myself for finally getting one of sever
School is not going very well for me. I went from two weeks before school, with absolutely nothing urgent to do, just sitting around and surfing on the internet, to band camp the day after, eleven hours of marching around on the grass in the August heat.
Looking back, that wasn't so bad. Compared to my Junior year of school, of course. All my classes are honors classes, and only one is easy (Band 4 Honors), though it makes up for that with the time required (marching season=I give up Wednesd
That's the logo for the Writer's Assault Project. If you're wondering what the WAP is, it's a group that I joined over the summer, in the same camp that I did loads of writing in.
Writer's Assault Project is basically a group of dedicated writers who meet about twice a month to share their writings. The presidents of the two divisions, NorCal WAP and SoCal WAP, are also talking about possibly presenting works to the public, which, in my opinion, is pretty cool.
Anyway, I just wanted to t
This is a poem I wrote three days ago. Our marching band was warming up for our halftime show for the high school football game, our first 'performance' in uniform, and I noticed how the sky was completely covered by clouds, which was the inspiration for the poem. Please read and enjoy!
Music Under a Gray Sky
We stand
Warming up
There is no blue
To watch us
Only drab gray clouds that
Throw the vibrant color of
Our uniform
Into greyscale
Our scales
Echo around the quad
A pause
