My friend Jared from my French class showed me this really weird site during lunch yesterday, called cleverbot.com. (As far as I know, there are no forum's attatched to the site; correct me if I'm wrong.) Apparently, you can have a conversation with an AI, which spits back some rather entertaining results. (We had some fun with "FALCON PAWNCH" and Pokemon. )
Oh, and I'm currently addicted to the song "Russian Roulette" by Rihanna. I need an excuse to write a songfic to it someday.
(P.S. I
Nobody got the answer last week, but Sumiki was the closest, so he wins this round.
Answer: The man was the winner of the prestigious London Marathon race. He waved to the large crowd the entire way down the finishing straightaway and, because of that, he just failed to break the record for the marathon -- thereby missing out on the $30,000 bonus prize.
Round Three

I stayed up last night watching a program on that channel 'bout Jack the Ripper, and the possibility he had gone to America. I only saw about 20 minutes of it (I'm watching the rest of it this afternoon), but it was very intruiguing, even if I did have hard time getting to sleep afterward. :wakeup2:
Oh, and they're playing a new version of the "I Love The World" song, featuring Optimus Prime. It's already stuck my head. >.< *resists urge to start singing*
I woke up to cold. That's usually nothing to worry about, but I found frost on the ground . . . along with snow.
We're barely halfway through November, and the Puget Sound area has snow.
*raises fist and shakes vainly at the sky* >.<
*shakes head* Alex, Alex, Alex. Don't you know it's not good for your sanity to become attracted to nonexistant people?
Waitasecond . . . I'm attracted to a nonexistant person . . . Now I'm a hypocrite. T_T
Last week's winner: Necro, who hit the answer bang on the head(well, mostly).
Answer: The man was a diplomatic courier and he visited the embassies of 30 countries, all situated in Washington. In law, an embassy is part of the country of the embassy and not part of the country it is situated in.

I got part of my next writing projects done at the library today, when the weather was stormy. (Ironically, the project in question had a storm going on in it too.) The bad part? I had to walk home in it.
Walking home, in the middle of a thunderstorm, surrounded with tall trees?
NOT FUN.
I'm starting work on a medallion in Metals class. And just like my last project, it had to do with Bionicle. I had to make the design by hand, since I couldn't size down the picture enough to make it from wax, but what the hey. It's cooler that way.
Metal: Silver
Design: Here it be
That'll give some DJs/rap arists/whoever wears bling these days a run for their money, I'm sure of it.
Let's get this party started!
Puzzle Contest -- Round 1
Rules Don't share answers with each other, even answers you know aren't right. Doing so will get you disqualified for that round. This also applies for stealing another person's answer when you didn't come up with it yourself. You may, however, share theories. If you come up with an answer with the help of another contestant, make sure you mention that you did so, and who that was so I can give them credit. Each round, I will post th
I'm considering starting a logic puzzle contest or such here in my blog. I've got a book of those things, which my family, Rockhound, and Robo can all testify have tough questions. Give you guys a week to work on it, with the clues attached, and then reveal that week's winner and the answer a week later?
What do you guys think?
I'm seriously wondering what kind of family mine is. I mean: My parents let my little brother try some of their beer, even though I repeatedly voiced the opinion that it was a bad idea. (I STILL think that.) I came on to the laptop last night to find that all websites -- from AIM to Google to BZP and Brickshelf -- had been blocked on my account, and remained as such until Dad fixed it.
I don't know when or how, but someday Mom will pay for all that. I missed 35 emails because of that!
I didn't go trick-or-treating, but I did wear my creepy-cool costume. I've written two things for the occasion. One is a CoT poem, and a Bionicle songfic. Considering my dad is watching The Shining right behind me as I speak, I'm fairly sure I'll have a hard time getting to sleep tonight. Happy Halloween! (Or as I prefer to call it, Samhain. )
*realizes that someone turned on my CD player, and turns it off, thus silencing AC/DC's "Back In Black"*
It's been a busy week, guys. Since I was absent for the past week or so (why, I'll keep to myself), I've been doing quite a bit. Here's a quick runover: I've become hopelessly addicted to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I'm struggling against Tabuu right now in the Subspace Emissary, but hopefully, I'll kick his butt soon, and not the other way around. I'm still having technical difficulties with
I have a few things in real life to handle (don't ask), so I probably won't be around as nearly as often as I usually am. In the RPGs, Rock/HN get my KG characters, and Rock gets Laural Thluile in Reality. I'm not sure about Astra Lixue in Reality; I suppose I can handle it myself when I am around.
Rest assured I'll be back to my regular schedule by next week.
Okay guys you asked for it.
Here be the Noble, Bronze, Shelek.
Gallery when public
That little lump on the left side of the mask, just above the eyehole, isn't supposed to be there (the investment material got burned when the plastic was burned out), but I decided to leave it alone.
Anyway, Mr. Walker was all over it when I pulled it out of the mold (he showed it to everyone in the room, and repeatedly said that it was awesome ), and he came up with this crazy idea to make molds of
Finally, no more PSATs! Sitting in the theater for four hours stank (especially what I had to go through for bathroom breaks >.<), but getting to miss four periods -- *realizes everyone is glaring at her*
What? Oh yeah, you want me to post pictures of my bronze mask. Well, I got it back, but it still needs work (it has a huge lump of solid bronze on the back that's weighing the entire thing down), so I'll post pictures once those are taken care of.
In other news, I MISSED OUT ON OW
. . . except I felt I had to make a blog entry.
So yah. However, I'm expected to get my Noble Mask of Silence (in solid bronze) back from Mr. Walker either tomorrow or Wednsday; hopefully tomorrow.
Aaaaand I have to take the PSAT in two days. >.< That's put a dampener on things.
I told myself I wouldn't enter any more RPGs. But now I've got a Night Ride profile hanging around my laptop!
Gaaaaah, what to do . . . I've got so little time these days . . . >.<
