So I'm back from working nonstop for 2.5 weeks at a summer camp we lovingly nicknamed The Island (because you can't ever get off HAHAHA WE THINK WE'RE FUNNY). SO NOW THAT THAT'S DONE I can resume working on my seminar for BrickFair VA, as well as that SUPER SECRET PROJECT SUMIKI AND I ARE WORKING ON. But yeah, I'm doing a panel on the impact LEGO has had/can have on our lives (I call the panel 'Another Brick In The Wall' HAHAHA I THINK I'M FUNNY SOMETIMES). There will be some learning, a lot
Interested in seeing how Takuma and myself banter and work on our series of Lets Plays? WELL, WORRY NO MORE, FRIENDO! Here you can see a behind-the-scenes look (from my side, at least) of how we make the videos! Don't forget to subscribe to the BZP Channel to keep up to date with the series and other videos, and don't forget to support BZP's crowdfunding campaign!
So I guess y'alls enjoyed that first bit of Let's Play? If you've got any comment/criticisms/etc, please send them our way! We wanna make these better and funnier and entertaining...ier if we can! I'm also gonna resume the use of the blag. Yay!
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.
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,
So this month and the coming weeks will be quite important. I have 100 days left as a Senior. I'm being auctioned off tomorrow at our school's Guy Auction. The medical treatment I've been on for about three months that has made my daily life more annoying than it was is hopefully ending this week. Our school has raised I think over $20,000 during February for Leukemia and Lymphoma Month. February 20th is Rare Disease Day, and for that I'm gonna be writing articles for my school newspap
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 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.
Ehhhh, I don't know how to feel about it. I worry that in the movie the brilliance of the book of looking at the impact of the zombie apocalypse on the world in social, religious, economic, political, and sanitary matters will be completely tossed aside just to make another action movie starring a famous actor in an apocalypse scenario. I really hope they keep that in the movie, at least... Anyone else read the book/seen the trailer?
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:
to blow my mind in the cinema, just as the book has done. I've seen the trailer about 30 times now (talk about obsession), so I'm sure the movie will be wonderful. We'll see.
As first period was ending, I quickly told her I had to ask her a question. However, I just flicked the switch on the contraption, and some plates that spelt out "HC?" along with a LEGO rose sprung up. She didn't get it at first, and I started to freak out. Then she actually got it, said it was really sweet, and now has the rose. So I haz a date for Homecoming! (Which is good because as SGA VP, I am required to go and it's nice to not go alone). And everyone else has loved the LEGO idea.
going to attempt to ask someone to Homecoming tomorrow? I HAVE NEVER VENTURED INTO THOSE DARK LANDS BEFORE. It'd be even more awkward if she says no, seeing as I built this cute little TECHNIC contraption with a rose attached to it. (sorry, needed to scream this to the four winds in a place my school friends know nothing about) EMOTIONS. Y U NO KEEP ME OUT OF ROMANTIC MISADVENTURES.
I will be in the Yale campus in New Haven, CT for the whole weekend for a Speech Tournament. I literally left school to get on the train. I'll be returning back home at 11 p.m. on Sunday, at which time I'll have to stay awake for four more hours finishing homework, to then leave school halfway through to go to an interview for something and then prepare for a college visit and Model UN Conference the next day. *twitch*
is that we can all be in the Doctor's position. You can be a very patient person, very forgiving, very caring, very courageous, very happy... but after a while, lines start getting blurred and you start changing. Even more so if you don't have people around you to remind you of who you really are.
