    Wish You Were Here

    By Peach 00,

    Wish You Were Here
     
     
    So...so you think you can tell?
    Blue skies from pain?
    Can you tell a green field
    From a cold, steel rail?
    A smile of a veil?
    Do you think you can tell?
     
    Did they get you to trade
    Your heroes for ghosts?
    Hot ashes for trees?
    Hot air for a cool breeze?
    Cold comfort for change?
    Did you exchange
    A walk-on part in the war,
    For a lead-role in a cage?
     
    How I wish...how I wish you were here
    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
    Year after year
    Running over the same old ground
    What have we found?
    The same old fears
    Wish you were here
     
     
    Yeah, had to sensor that second bit of lyrics. =P I swear, this has got to be my third favorite Pink Floyd song. It's just too awesome. I'm learning to play it on the guitar, but it's quite difficult. My brother basically knows the whole beginning of the song up to the first lyrics, so he's teaching me a bit of it. Every time I hear and of their music, I can only think that Pink Floyd is awesome. ^^
     
    EDIT: Also, sorry Shine. Didn't realize that would count still - wasn't trying to bypass it. Either way, I just got rid of the line entirely if that helps out a little bit. =]

    R.i.p Dan Wheldon

    By Peach 00,

    British two-time winner of the Indy 500 Dan Wheldon, 33, died yesterday at the last race of the Indycar season at Las Vegas in a horrific 15 car crash. I suggest people who haven't seen the crash yet shouldn't, because it is a truly terrifying accident. Wheldon's car flew up into the catch-fence and he was seriously injured. Two hours later it was pubilcally announced he was dead.
     
    This is indeed a tragic loss and is a tremendous loss to the racing world.

    Cinnamon Bread

    By Peach 00,

    Just made some, also some apple bread. Took about forty or so minutes to get both mixed, poured in the pans, and in the oven. It's baking now, it has another forty/thirty minutes to bake. It's smelling gooood...

    Bzp: Pros N' Cons

    By Peach 00,

    So, for the fun of it I decided I'd blog about BZP's new look. There's probably been five other members who did this before me, but eh, I don't care. =P I'm going to weigh in a little bit on the pros and cons, hopefully some people might comment and give some insight, too (which, might I add, is completely welcome). Read below for the review.
     
    The New Look
     
    Honestly, it's a bit dull - not much life in it. It's just blue and white. We need more flare. Blue and white are overused colors. I'm aware that the staff is going to be getting skins up, if I'm not mistaken, which might be better. But it would be nice if we some red here and their, or a really bright color. I'm not personally attacking the staff's decision with the color choice, but just saying.
     
    Forums and Their Home
     
    I like that the creative outlet is now its own forum area, with Art, Library, and RPGs and whatnot easy to find. They're all together. That's what it need to be. Before General Discussion was in the middle of it, which seemed out of place. Now it seems much better.
     
    And LEGO sets and Bionicle sets are together, which looks nice instead of it being a 'Non-Bionicle' area at the bottom. To me, the whole area is laid out better.
     
    Birthdays? People have birthdays?
     
    Yeah, I don't necessarily like that it's a content block at the side. Rather have all the member names at the bottom like it used to be; seems like now there's a list you have to look through in a BZP link. It was easier to read the birthdays off, go wish the people happy birthdays, and move on. Now it's click, click, click typetypetypetype now. I don't consider this a huge issue, but would be better the old way.
     
    Blogs
     
    I like the layout, but no favorites list at the top? I liked that I could instantly go to my favorite blogs, but now I've got to either search through pages and pages or add them to that list or whatever on an entirely seperate page. I have no clue how to add the blogs there. *shrug*
     
    Profiles are good, but...
     
    ...status? o.O Not sure why that's there, but I don't entirely dislike it. I don't see a huge need for it, but oh well. Either way, I like the profiles now, it's easy to see friends, check your blog, et cetera. It is more organized than before and easier to navigate through, honestly.
     
    ***
     
    Those are my views, so now for just a list of pros/cons now below.
     
    Pros
     
    ~ Yay, organization
    ~ Decent look
    ~ Forums/Subforums in their right places
    ~ Profiles look good and organized
    ~ Comments easier to track on profiles
    ~ Reply boxes are more fully-equipped
    ~ No having to worry about codes to put in!
    ~ Instant multiquote
    ~ IT'S BACK
     
    Cons
     
    ~ Colors are slightly dull
    ~ Dataclysm repeat, noooo
    ~ How do I favorite blogs? >.>
    ~ Newest blog entries of blogs I don't view? Eh, might not be too bad...
    ~ Quick reply should be an open/close box
    ~ Confusing instant PM system
     
    So in all...
     
    Pros outweigh the cons 9-6, yaaaay. Anybody is welcome to provide their own thoughts on BZP's new system.

    Gifts Galore

    By Peach 00,

    - Stocking stuffers (Bottle Caps, Smart Tarts, beads, etc.)
    - Digital clock (I've needed one)
    - Two long-sleeve shirts
    - Plush robe
    - Plush socks
    - Rear Window Grace Kelly Barbie
    - $200 (=D)
     
    Although it's not a lot, it's awesome, nonetheless. I plan on spending the $200 on Portal 2, some beads for jewelry, trading in my Forza 3 copy for the Top Gear edition, and some other things. Might get my ears pierced, I got a pair of earrings that are really pretty. Not sure when that will happen, though. Still, I loved the gifts, because with the money I can spend some money on extra gifts that I didn't get with the rest of the things I got.

    Weather

    By Peach 00,

    You know, sometimes the rain is nice and all, but when you have it pouring down your front door harder and harder and harder, it just gets exasperating. Well, in the immortal words of Mark Twain: "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it". The honest truth, the honest truth indeed.
     
    In other news, I feel like going on a rant about LEGO, yet I don't have any idea where to start. I feel like talking about the reason why LEGO dumped Bionicle and started HF, why Bionicle won't ever come back no matter how hard anybody tries, and why they need to put something new on the market in order to make money. But absolutely no motivation to actually write a long rant on that, so that probably won't happen for awhile. =/
  12. Peach 00
    Yup, still have it stuck in my head. I definitely haven't lost that lovin' feelin' for this song.
     
    But besides that, I'm counting down to Christmas (Currently 4 days, 5 hours and 0 minutes) and trying to come up with fillers for Danger Close's final chapters. I know the ending, I just need to find the action for before the ending. =/ And really sorry to those who needed the reviews from SYC, I'm not going to be able to review them. Maybe as a Christmas present for you guys I'll review them. =)

    Holiday Special

    By Peach 00,

    So, like every year, writers like myself attempt creating holiday specials, so instead of doing a long drawn out story (Well, actually it's not confirmed if I'll write one at this point, I have a story in the works that will be for Valentine's Day next year that I'm writing), I decided I'd do a spoof of a classic Christmas song, written in Bionicle style. Going to post it on Christmas Eve, while if I have time still, I'll write a holiday story. Not as long as last year's, though, if some of you remember Mistletoe. =P
     
    But I'm going to attempt to make a holiday story, depends on what the specifics of it will be, though. :/ Any ideas?

    To Syc Requesters...

    By Peach 00,

    ...I'm really sorry for taking so long in this. Today I'm going to be looking at the stories requested (If I recall, they were 'The Switch Mirror', 'Destiny Quest', and 'Divided We Fall'). However, I will be busy with a friend of mine today, and it depends when she comes and whether or not I'll have time to view all three. Nonetheless, I'm still open for requests.
     
    I'll get to them as soon as I can, guys, I feel really bad about the delay. You'll all be getting reviews soon, I promise.

    I'm Writing Again!

    By Peach 00,

    I finally got the motivation to put a few fingers on the keyboard for a change. So, I've got a WIP that's basically a dark romance right now, entitled What We Create. Only got a page in it, but I plan on it being about ten to fifteen pages. Despite the length, it'll still be good - the few characters in it are my villains in Danger Close, specifically Uzian, Fuzan, Colorn, and Tikiani. Silio won't be making an appearance in it, but only because he's had his day in the sun in Rebirth. But still, I won't reveal the plot, but I promise it'll be pretty good. ;D
     
    Also I might post a songfic I did through the duration of the downtime, but only in my blog. If there are good comments on it here, there's a chance I might post it in the SS forum. Supposed to be a Nikila and Lesovikk romance, entitled Angel. The song of course is Angel by Sarah McLachlan - I was considering using Witness instead, but the other song seemed more suited to Lesovikk. And I've got plenty of other stories that I'm planning right now, all of them interesting. Plus, just about all of them tie into Danger Close with the exception of one probably.
     
    Ah, what Call of Duty Black Ops, Animal Crossing, and Pink Floyd can do to inspire me.

    My Ssc#8 Entry

    By Peach 00,

    Link
     
    I never thought I'd be entering this, but as I said in the topic, I'm glad I did. I really hope some people review - I'm going to be gone until tomorrow, so let's hope there's some reviewers in that period of time. Who ever does review it, thank you. =]

    Syc And Writing

    By Peach 00,

    Yeah, just wanted to let you guys know that all the SYC (Submit Your Creations) stories that were in the slots we'll have to wait for reviewing. I'll get to them eventually, but I'll be busy on December 1st, and I'm trying to get what I hope will be my entry for the SS contest posted before the 2nd.
     
    That, and I feel I'm pressed for time on the new Danger Close chapter, which I feel hasn't gotten a lot of posts in the review topic. I'd really appreciate even a single-sentenced comment in the review topic, just as long as I get something. It's basically dying through all the Epics pages, and I would really appreciate anybody who's willing to review it and check it out. Even if you read only the first few chapters, I'd still be in debt.
     
    Anyway, sorry for the delay in SYC reviews, I'm just busy with writing and school. I really need to get everything for writing done. ;_;

    Stuff I Got Yesterday

    By Peach 00,

    Necklace holder
    4 pairs of jeans (I grow fast)
    2 shirts
    Beading wire
    Pink strands of pearls (not real, obviously)
    Strand of pink and silver beads

    So, in other words, I made out like a bandit.
  20. Peach 00
    ...for breaking Nigel Mansell's 14 poles in a complete season of F1, Vettel reaching 15. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I am referring to Formula One, a racing sport unlike such as GP2, IndyCar, and Nascar. Nonetheless, Vettel secured the record with an amazing lap time around the Brazillian circuit (not sure of the specific name) in the F1 season, which was also the last qualifying session of the season.
     
    Tomorrow Vettel will be starting 1st in the grand prix, so let's wish him luck that he'll win. And for those who are the least bit curious about his background, he's a driver at Red Bull Renault, one of the twelve teams in F1. Red Bull is currently leading the world championship with Vettel at the helm, with teams like Ferrari and Mclaren Mercedes far back. Vettel had already won the championship a few races back, still having over a one hundred point lead over the contenders. This will also be Vettel's second world championship, a back-to-back victory with his first.
     
    Sebastian Vettel is a very humble driver and is very kind to his teammate and RBR team, and although rising to a similar power like that of Michael Schumacher (seven-time world champion, in the sport and at the other Mercedes team), but doesn't wish to be called that. Idolizing Schumacher since he was a kid and was karting at an early age, Vettel secured a drive as a replacement for (I might be wrong) Nick Heidfeld at BMW for one race, and appeared again at the junior Red Bull Team, STR (Scuderia Toro Rosso).
     
    After securing a point in a race at the Indianapolis GP, he finished 4th in another race at the team, which gave him the drive at RBR. The rest is history from there.
     
    Vettel is, again, a humble driver, and although beating many records since his appearance in the sport, doesn't let it overwhelm him and doesn't let his ego get in the way. Unlike others, he's a fair racer and has deserved every point he's earned. Hopefully he will evolve into a legacy and he will continue to win for a long time.

    Pumpkin Cheesecake

    By Peach 00,

    My mom's making one for Thanksgiving. I'd help her, but being sick puts a damper on that. Anyway, my parents were kind enough to get me some glass beads and lobster claws for making jewelry, as well as these awesome Mario pajamas. Even though it's kind of kid-ish, they're still really comfortable. : D
     
    Also, the new Danger Close chapter will be up on Friday...hopefully. Still editing it and finishing it up.

    Christmas Wishlist

    By Peach 00,

    This seems like the fad right now, so I'm willing to follow it.

    Portal 2
    Scarlett
    Nintendo 3DS
    (only if I get 3DS) Ocarina of Time
    Animal Crossing 3DS
    Skyward Sword
    Ranger's Apprentice: Lost Stories Book 11
    The Outcasts (Brotherband Chronicles)
    Forza Motorsport 4
    F1 2011
    Grace Kelly Rear Window Barbie

    Basically what I want, I can't think of anything else. However, that's a pretty expensive list, annnnd my parent's said that there would be a lighter load for Christmas gifts this year, so maybe some of these things I might either buy myself or get for my birthday. I'll wait and see what happens.

    Thanksgiving Holidays

    By Peach 00,

    I can't wait for them.
     
    What is everybody planning on doing for Thanksgiving, what're you thankful for, and are you looking forward to the weekend?
     
    Me? For Thanksgiving, I plan on stuffing myself like the turkey I'm going to be eating. Also, I'm thankful for having great friends, family, and that people might actually be reading this. (=P) And I'm really looking forward to the weekend!

    Pictures...

    By Peach 00,

    ...of a Jango Fett action figure and strawberries with a cream-cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar mixture in them. Yeah, decided I'd just make a random entry because I figure I only have a day or so of premier membership. I'll be posting a little bit of that story in here, and if it's liked, I'll finish it up and maybe post it in CoT. But anyway, Jango Fett = <3 (he's just an awesome character):
     
    WARNING: Big pictures, you have been warned.
     
    Jango Fett himself with his pistols and everything
     
    Snaaaaacks
     
    Well, there you go.

    New Xbox

    By Peach 00,

    Yes, I figured out you could trade in an old Xbox for a 360 Slim, but you have to have everything that originally came with it. However, what's even better is, you save money this way, and get a really quiet and probably much more reliable Xbox. Really loving how quiet it is, and how much smaller it is. For the meantime, I'll be playing Xbox and watching Taxi on my PC.
     
    Also, that story should be up tomorrow on my blog, and if I get good comments, I'll probably put it in CoT, although it'll still be viewable here if it sinks to the bottom of the pages, lol.
     
    (Also, yay, I'm making dinner. )
