Turakii #1 Lavasurfer

Well, the Art Contest voting began today. I'm in poll 5. Of course, I had to be in a poll with the Humane Society, which was one I had originally been planning to vote for. It's great. Oh, well. I'll vote for it in the Finals. There are a lot of fantastic entries. BZP is not only the #1 Bionicle forum, but it's got the best Bionicle artists. --- Post one thousand today whoo! I'm going to draw a picture or write a story or somethin'! --- I have been officially dubbed as "ten times crazier than Onuki." At last! A dream come true! --- Drat, I forgot to study for Quizzing today. --- I can't think of anything else to say, so I'm signin' off. (I wonder where LarryBoy is. He's gone missing again.) Turakii This post has been hacked by LarryBoy on Saturday, June 17th, at somewhere around eight o' clock.

Tuesday the third, I'll call this entry "Mistake" Cheap imitation My life feels like a fake A people person Some days people annoy me I'm growing edgy Wednesday's title: "Avoid Me" Breathe on me... Go Newsboys. My mom has almost every one of their songs, and the above is one of the best. (I notice K.I.E. likes it, too.) Cornelius is also pretty high on that list. That's why my last BBC entry was themed on it. I know a website with all the Newsboys lyrics, ever. So if anyone wants the link, PM me. Okay, Newsboys aside, a few days ago I posted a poem: The Swim. What else is there to write about? Ah yes. Master Vahi got a blog, where he puts his mind and hopes he can find it again. You might want to check it out. DudeNuva started a blog as well. Yay. Random question: I wonder what happens if you lock one of your entries? Just as I'm finally getting around to blogging, after two days of "forgetting," it's time for dinner. Figures. Bye for now. (Hmm...I wonder where LarryBoy is? He's usually shoving me out my chair at this point.) Turakii

I forgot you were building the chicken house yourself. Are you going to paint it, too? (You can reply to me right here in your blog, if you want.) What books did you take out? Turakii

It would be "modulation" if all my fingers were on the wrong keys, but with half my fingers playing in Dm and the other half playing in C, it may be closer to "gibberish." (Is there a proper musical term for gibberish?) Ooh...you like Newsboys, too... Turakii

Hey, MVahi! Despite what you say, I still think you did a good job with the entry. It was even better than i had expected! What do you mean by "custom sprite"? Are you going to put sprites on the T-shirts, or am I misunderstanding this? You can upload your own avatars, too. Hooray. Well, congratulations on your first blog! Just remember, people are reading, even if they don't respond. Turakii

Would you mind sharing with us these "future plans," or will they be kept secret until further notice?

Master Vahi's Premier Membership went through just a few minutes ago! Hooray for Master Vahi! Yes, I'm really excited for him.

Looks great so far, DN. I really like your "I want you!" content block. Actually, it wasn't five minutes, because I read really fast. You live at the beach!? You. Are. So. Lucky! (I want your house.) On the subject of your stories, did you ever read your reviews for Jakias's station? *Hides under pillow shield.* Oh, please don't start another Fruit War...

You make entries too much. You could put a message in your signature, "proud to be the blogger with the most entries!" And you could make a banner to match.

LarryBoy: Turakii has encountered potato-dinners today! So, today I'm going to teach you the ins and outs of making perfectly mashed potatoes! First, if you don't have a potato masher at home, you can just use a bedspring tied to a pogostick. Now grab a potato, drop it in a bowl, and jump on the masher! Mash--and up--and mash--and up-- It seems LarryBoy is making dinner for us tonight. Having already reached "Encountering Protodermis (not potato-dinners)," I'm looking forward to soon reaching my one thousandth post. And I haven't even got my Vahi yet. (I'm looking forward to that, too, but there's no way to speed it up. Time plods on, despite our calls.) Any suggestions on how I could celebrate? I'm open for them. DudeNuva became a Premier Member today! Congratulations, DN! Hopefully, Master Vahi will become one today as well, or at least by tomorrow. Then he might get a blog, too. I have a new story up, Gali Indecision. DudeNuva proofread it for me. Thanks, DudeNuva! I'm learning three quarter time on the keyboard. It's what my sister calls "Waltz time." One-two-three one-two-three one-two-three... Fun, yes, just so long as I use three quarter time, and not four. LarryBoy was nice enough to let me put up a picture of myself. Below his, of course. I should post it in General Artwork someday. And I can't think of anything else to say (did I just hear a "hooray"?), so I'm done. LarryBoy: Au revoir, mon amies!

I thought "dancing" was "bailarin." I guess I was wrong. Pobre Turakii. So there are twenty-two numbers in Spanish? Then...which letters are missing?

Quick question, Onuki. Which means "dance," canta or bailar? I know one means sing and one means dance, but I can't remember which.

And you can't forget yourself and Nikira. You two have such similar names, it took me awhile to remember who was who. Thanks, Onuki. Since you pointed out a while ago, in one of my comedies, that "anteayer" means the day before yesterday in Spanish, I had a feeling you'd be coming in here with a correction. SCHIZO: "Out of sight, out of mind" into "invisible lunatic." With a bit of tweaking, that could be one funny signature quote. I read one similar to that. A machine translated "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" into Russian. A human translator pointed out that, literally translated, the message now read, "The whisky is agreeable but the meat has gone bad."

I'm Turakii. Not Turahki, Takanii, or Tarakii. Anyways, thanks for telling me. I assumed nino meant boy, because the side of the diaper box has a Spanish translation for "suitable for both boys and girls." It figures it means "child." I appreciate your correction, Nukora. Maybe my friend won't figure it out...

LarryBoy: Hola, amigos. No es triste? Larryboy bailar como Turakii. (Hello, friends. Isn't it sad? LarryBoy dances like Turakii.) I think that's what I just said in Spanish... Me: It's the law that my siblings and I take two years of foreign languages. We're going to be learning Spanish. We actually haven't learned it yet, but we've memorized the lyrics to Veggietales' Dance of the Cucumber, so we can make people think we know more than we do. My friend was impressed when I told her to name her American Idol character, "Escuchen (escushen?) ElNino." (Listen to the boy. At least, I hope that's what it means. ) Something you should never use to learn another language is Babelfish. If you translate English to Spanish and back again, it turns some words into completely unrelated words, which change your meaning entirely. Tacku Nuva had a comedy where he used a translator to change some of his characters' speech to different languages. He gave translations, but I got curious and tried translating them back to English through Babelfish. Some of them turned out very odd. I'm off to answer my PMs and shower now (but not at the same time), so bye! (This was a short entry.) LarryBoy: Adios, amigos!

I thought it was always white with snow pouring down. What are you looking at me like that for? LarryBoy is still recovering from his incident with Matau (and happily watching LarryBoy and the Rumor Weed, starring you-know-who), so I'm free to write whatever I want. Yay. My mom captured the LarryBoy theme song from the aforementioned video, using some of her handy video-capturing software, and we've been watching the theme song video over and over on our computers. Problem is, after you've heard it enough times, you find yourself singing, "Groove it, Larry!" anytime, anyplace. But at least I like the song. Unlike poor Takuna Nuva, whose sisters memorized it. I've recently discovered that Lewa's axe is very handy for using to hang him from the handle of a ceiling fan. It's really funny when someone does that and forgets he's there, and then walks into him in the dark. And then he falls and lands on that someone's foot. And then that someone steps on him with their bare foot... Of course, stepping on Bionicles (or any Lego in particular) in the dark can happen without having had them previously hanging from a ceiling fan. It is probably one of the most painful experiences known to man. :annoyed2: Today I drew a nice little picture of my character, Turakii. Speaking of which, I forgot to scan him. I'll do that now. Thanks for reminding me. I'm trying to put together a page with all the Veggietales lyrics there is. Are. But anyways, although I have a lot of them, I've finally run out of lyrics to put up. If anyone has an abundance of Veggie lyrics, and wouldn't mind PMing them to me, please do so. (I really want the lyrics to the SUV song.) Well, I've been online for quite a while now, so I'll leave this Land of Blogginess and come back tomorrow or so. Bye. LarryBoy: Hello, Citizens! Are you ready to successfully buy, for less than five dollars, over two million-- I'm done. LarryBoy: What? The blogging. I'm done for today. LarryBoy: Oh. Well, how am I supposed to get rid of all these-- *Sigh.* Okay, okay, I'm coming. Bye again, guys.

LarryBoy: Hey kids! Are you ready to make millions in real estate with no money down? I know I am--- Matau: Move aside, plunger-ears! Let a real Toa-hero teach-instruct! LarryBoy: Yeah, but I bought a whole chocolate factory with no money down! Matau: Thanks a lot, Beamie. You've started a fad. Before I begin this entry, I'll reply to the replies from the last entry. Thanks lots to all of you who took the trouble to post here. Air-Master: You're homeschooled, too? Ooh, cool! What kind of guitar do you play? Normal guitar? (I'm so technical. ) Yep, I drew that. Took about half an hour to shade. Tomiku: What's even more annoying is when you discover you've been playing it with the wrong keys/valves for a whole week, so you've memorized it that way. :blush: And you've been homeschooled, too? I didn't know that! I knew The Fight was weird before you didn't post. How about a cotton swab, once you take those headphones off? Chriskopaka: You too!? Maybe someone should make a homeshoolers' topic or something. I had no idea there was so many! Kopaka's Ice Engineering: That's a really neat name. We need a musician's topic, too. Then we could all get together and talk about...music, I guess. angry nidhiki: And Lady Kopaka!? I had no clue. Actually, it's only in the case of cats (and not wah brass) that sitting on the keys counts as playing. May I ask why you have stuffed poor Beliwa in your post? --- Okay, on to blogging. I've made a couple folders of my Veggietales banners and avatars which anyone can use, if they care. If not...don't, I guess. I believe Lady Kopaka is going to be getting home soon, but I'm not certain. I'm looking forward to her getting back to BZP (who isn't?). If anyone can fill me in here, I'd be grateful. Today was marshmallow fluff day. That means my family had fluffernutters for lunch, which are about the best kind of sandwich ever. (I eat the fluff off the knife.) The only member I know who likes marshmallow fluff about as much is Master Vahi. He eats it off the knife, too. I don't have anything much left to say, so I'll inform you of the best word in the world. Bamboo. Try saying it really fast three times. It's so much fun to say. Bamboo-bamboo-bamboo. LarryBoy: TURAKIII! I have to go get LarryBoy's ear unstuck from Matau's mask now, so I guess I'm signing off. Bye for now.

LarryBoy: Hey kids! Are you ready to listen to the hottest new music on the Internet? I know I am! Now, the first thing you need to do is put a pair of headphones on your ears. It's a good idea not to be wearing earplugs, earmuffs, or bunny ears at this point. Also, always make sure you don't have slushy or peanut butter on your headphones before you put them on. Now, we just slip them on and, and click on...I can't reach the mouse. This wire's too short. Here, I'll take off my headphones and then...and then...help! They're stuck to my super-suction ears! *Yanks at headphones.* TURAKIIII! Here we go again... Today wasn't the most exciting day of my life. I woke up. Ate breakfast. Did my chores and schoolwork. (I love being homeschooled. I don't think there are too many other homeschoolers on here, though.) My sister and I were fooling around on the Keyboard (the one you play) after our lessons, and found this weird instrument setting called "wah brass." It sounds like singing cats. Really. Imagine the C Major scale being sung by your favorite kitty, and you know what a wah brass sounds like. Instruments are a lot of fun, except when you're halfway through a song and realize you've got your fingers on the wrong keys. :annoyed2: Any other instrument-players out there? I wrote a new comedy today, The Fight. It's a one-post. I was bored when I wrote it, so I'm warning you, it's kind of weird. I can't think of anything else to say, so I'm signing off now. LarryBoy: Bye now, Citizens! LarryBoy, please, don't stand on my desk...

LarryBoy: Hey kids! Welcome to Turakii's first workout video! Are you ready to sweat? I know I am! Now, if you don't have a trampoline at home, you can just use a couple of slinkies and an old rug. Now what we're going to do is spring...and jump...and spring...and jump...and spring--oh my!--and jump--oh dear!--and spring--I'm going too high!--and...oof! Ow. My plunger ear is stuck to the ceiling. *Pulls.* TURAKIIII! Me: LarryBoy seems to think this blog belongs to him, and him alone. But, while he's trying to get himself off the ceiling, I'm going to take advantage of it and write. Heh heh. So, where to begin. Let's start with the Art Contest. That's interesting. It took several days, but I finally made a poster for the Art Contest. Several of my other tries were good, but I just couldn't get the drawings to turn out right. (Vakama wants you...to make muffins!) Now, though, we have our soon-to-be-famous Becomer a Plumber. I told Lewa again and again to leave the sweets alone, but he wouldn't listen, and now look where it's got him. The thingy he's leaning on is supposed to be a plunger. Hard to tell, since you can only see the top of the handle. LarryBoy: Hey there, Turakii! I noticed you writing and thought you needed help, so here I am! I guess that makes this the end of my first blog entry. And my, it was exciting, no? Bye. LarryBoy: So long for now, Citizens!

I can't tell you how much your brothers' comments made me laugh. Just tell them, if they don't stop yelling in your ear, Larryboy will come to your house during the night this Christmas and steal all their toys. Mine keeps telling me how the avatar looks like a professional drawing. You don't mind it once or twice, but every single time he sees it... >.< Oh. Well, have fun on you business trip. The forum will miss you greatly. Don't forgot to Live Long and Prosper everyone you meet--you sometimes get weird results. I hope you get something really good for your birthday. Like a Kopaka Olda (in one piece). Or a Larryboy. What could be better than a Larryboy? Is your Indiana game PC or Playstation?

They're really nice--very professional looking. The letters are centered nicely, and their coloring goes along with the background. Like I said before, you're good at this. You might want to try a different translator, like Babelfish, and see if you get the same translation. If you do, you'll know it's right. Or both translators are wrong.

Yum. Playing cards. Are they really crunchy? Now I know what I'll plan for lunch tomorrow. Explanations are easy. Just tell someone there was no food in the refrigerator and you hadn't had any breakfast. (It might be a good idea to hide the refrigerated food before you start, though.) I have an interesting question. Would the crunchiness and dry-erase marker taste be limited only to the Jack of Clubs, or does it spread into the other suits and ranks, as well? I've always thought Kings would have a richer taste.

It sounds good, and from what I've seen in your banner pictures, it probably is. How much does it cost? The only reason I use PowerDVD is it takes bright, clear pics--and came free with my computer.

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but that made perfect sense to me! *Ignore blank stares.* What? It did. Etcetera sounds pretty good to me. Original, profound, and not too long. The perfect username. How much longer do you have to wait to change your name?

So you've got a blog too, eh? Boy...everyone's getting them now. What program do you use for taking screen captures? PowerDVD? Those pictures are very clear, so I assume you didn't take pictures of your TV with your camera. That banner is hilarious, and absolutely true. Don't stop making them! You're really good at this editing and banner-making. *Opens banner and bursts out laughing again.* Honestly, that is one really funny banner!
