So during February our school does a bunch of events to raise money for Leukemia and Lymphoma research. One of said events is Guy Auction, where the ladies (or lads, if they're willing to) can bid on guys to go on dates. Apparently I have been chosen to be auctioned off. Yikes. But in all seiousness, if it helps to defeat cancer I'll do it. Also I might trick girls into hanging out with me, which is like an added bonus.
Fun fact: Team Farm Animals actually sometimes tries to plan Vines or other shenanigans during every BrickFair. Sometimes they start as a joke or a throwaway line, and end up becoming a project that takes all five days to film and even more to plan/record/edit. There's still a day left in 2015 so this is not technically late. Anyways, enjoy. Also, stay tuned next week for the Behind The Scenes at our bloopers
At first I was gonna try and write comedic, but the blag title takes care of that. Rather, I'll just be thankful again for something like BrickFair. After so many years of BrickFair-ing, facilitated by a site like this, you realize just how lucky it all is. Being able to see friends once a year yet feel like you only said goodbye last month, being able to meet individuals who have at times been moderators and deity-like heroes, or members and usernames, and be reminded again that they are firs
THEY ARE NOT HERE SO I GET TO MAKE THIS BLAG POST FIRST HAHAHAHA. Anywho, what happened is that Brickeens (and his dad), Sumiki (and his parents), and I toured two museums in D.C. today. Fort starters, I had to walk from my dad's office in D.C. for about 20 mins (the closest metro station was closed ARRRGGHHHH) and then get on a Metro to run to the Air & Spaaaaaaaaaaaaace Museum to try and not miss them. I didn't, so that was a plus. At the Air and Space Museum Sumiki (occasionally B

I remember personally first seeing information about a Brickfair on BZPower in 2009. It was a few months before I was to move from Venezuela to the U.S., and I did all a 13 year old could to to convince his parents to move a few weeks early so he could at least attend such an event. No such luck. And so, when 2010 rolled around, I was determined to become immersed in this strange world as soon as possible. (Also because BIONICLE had just been cancelled, so I needed to fill the void with all
BrickFair ended just two days ago, yet here is a small taste of what transpired. WARNING: May contain copious amounts of Sumiki, Xaeraz, and Zatth
And yes, this also means there are Omnibus videos from past years. The madness doesn't decrease in those either.

I just found pictures from this year's BrickFair. And some from 2010... First off, me with a variety of moustaches... Then, me being silly as we were packing up on the last day... And then, me in the midst of my campaign for world president with Brickeens as my VP Also, a picture I just found I took of Sisen randomly at BrickFair 2010... And me back then... BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE! Yes. There are pictures from LAST YEAR'S BrickFair that I never uploaded. Also a vide
After a brief stint as President (and then two frickin' years of teacher school that are finally coming to a close), I'm finally back home. Hi. I missed y'all.
Just you wait. This is all a giant conspiracy, a red herring, if you will. Because when the curtain drops and Galidor 2015 is confirmed, me and the other DZPers will be smiling. (Especially Xaeraz with his unopened Nick Bluetooth.) GALIDOR 2015 #CONFIRMED
So BrickFair VA is coming up soon. And there are important messages for those of you who might be there! 1. There will be a panel between BZP staff, TTV staff, and myself as a BZP/Muro hybrid [insert your Time Lord/Dalek The Hybrid jokes here]. We'll be discussing BIONICLE, our respective sites, and the online community as a whole. Trust that with me as the panel's moderator it will crash and burn gloriously, and you will not want to miss that! (SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED) 2. Hatpile 2016! No set
Yep, you heard right. George Mason University Class of 2017. I'm super excited, since I already know people entering, have a spot guaranteed on the Forensics Team, and got accepted into the Honors College. Also, I live 45 mins away from BrickFair VA, the campus is 10 mins away from BrickFair VA, so I know for a fact that attending BrickFair is still a definite yes in my future. College... Huh.

So Cloud Atlas was brilliant, and I cannot recommend the movie and the book enough. LIKE, GO WATCH/READ IT NAO. Bought a mini-megaphone that lets me replicate Bane's voice. It is way too much time, and it detracts from my time allocated to real life activities. NaNoWriMo began again! I'm writing a sequel to last year's novel, and hope to make it twice as long! To finish this update off, here's a Twitter conversation between Chols and myself:

Hello, friends! Now that I'm done with a 48-page research paper I handed in for one of my classes (the one on the Sagrada Familia and the Library of Congress), and my remaining assignments are either presentations, papers, and a childcare manual, I've gotten back into trying to write and read daily, to make it into a habit again! But as a way to stop myself from using the excuse that "I don't know what to write about today", I want YOU ALL to provide me prompts! They can be prompts for BIONICL
For the past month, when not finishing school, becoming 18, or graduating, I have been working relentlessly as a hermit in my basement on multiple projects for BrickFair, thus staving off the process of once again writing for this blag. So contrary to popular belief, I am not dead, just being productive... during summer. Ugh. Anywho, yesterday I was lucky enough to go to Nathan Sawaya's "Art of the Brick" Exhibit in NYC, and thought that not only would this audience enjoy hearing about it,
Usually my life is measured by the days when I'm not in a hospital versus those when I am in a hospital or when I'm afflicted by a specific thing. Since moving to the U.S. when I was fourteen, my health had been the best it ever had been in fourteen years. In 2011, I used November to do and win NaNoWriMo, convincing myself that I could do anything, and continue writing as much as I wanted. Should've knocked on a lot of wood. Next year, as November was starting, I was taken to the hospital be
