Emoticons do not like being freewritten about. Last night, they took over my blog and changed the title and content blocks... Plus, they can now add themselves into text I type into the blog whenever they want.

So if you see me using an emoticon that doesn't seem to fit, please be aware that it probably wasn't me who put it there. I'm currently working on finding their weakness, but I haven't found anything so far.

Except that they can't open spoiler tags. Thus, if I want to say something undetected, and without emoticons invading, I will do it in spoiler tags.

Anyway, I will now try to do a blog entry. Hopefully it'll work. If there had not been an emoticon takeover, today's entry would've read as follows:

My brother and I have a strange way of playing with our Bionicle sets. It all started when we got the first of our summer 2007 sets: Maxilos and Spinax, and Matoro. We decided to battle them in an RPG-style battle--Matoro had so much HP, FP (fire power ) and MP (mask power), and various attacks. Maxilos had HP, FP and no MP because he doesn't have a mask power, and various attacks. In a turn-based battle, Matoro eventually lost.

So we started an entire RPG with the Toa Mahri and various other heroes and villains, on a quest to find seven masks (three Rodes, three Olmaks, and the Ignika ). Currently the Mahri have none of the masks, and Maxilos has one. We recently took a long break and just started up the RPG again when we found a Nidhiki and a Roodaka at a Boscov's (not to mention 2 Kanoka packs--it was an excellent find ). Right now Matoro has been captured by Gadunka, who carried him up to the top of a shelf. The Toa Mahri have to find a mask to summon the Phantoka Toa Nuva to fly up there and save him... But Nocturn wants the mask too.

As you can see, it's very convoluted , but it's one of the few things I enjoy doing with my brother.

Geez, those emoticons are getting pretty distracting.
