    Ooh, Shiny!

    By HahliLavender,

    It's nice to be back on BZP, and with a new forum! I love it, and I haven't even looked around much yet! XD (Don't worry, I'll be sure to find something to complain about.)
     
    Wow, so much has happened since I've been here last, since the forums went down, I'm not even going to try to describe everything. For anyone who remembers me, (anyone? I am rather elusive around here.) here's an incredibly brief summary.
     
    I've started going to an art college to learn animation, turned 21, and finally gave in and started watching Doctor Who and can't stop! And that's just the superficial highlights.
     
    It's pretty neat seeing something so familiar (BZP) with a new face.

    Not Quite Goodbye

    By HahliLavender,

    Y'know, I've watched this community grow since 2003, even though I didn't seem to post often. And for some reason, the end of BIONICLE has made me want to be more active here. I may not be the loudest member, but BZP and BIONICLE are a part of me, so I'll always look at them with fond memories. I still plan on sticking around though. I know this community will likely shrink, but I don't think it will disappear.
     
    I also don't think we should be mad at LEGO. Not only is it best for them, but it's probably best for us and the overall storyline as well. Nothing here lasts forever; This time had to of come eventually. But I'm thankful for the fun I had with BIONICLE and BZPower. It's because of them that I am who I am. I love drawing and playing around in Photoshop. I never would have known about it as early as I had without BZP's art community. I love photography and filmmaking. BIONICLE figures are what I started on. Various members' expressing their fascination with Japanese manga, anime and music have opened a door for me to my own fascination with those things. Especially the Japanese language and culture. I've learned so much here that was mixed with the fun of BIONICLE that no blog post can express my appreciation.
     
    Thanks, LEGO and BZPower, for a wonderful decade!
     
    Let's make this last year of BIONICLE the best year we've had together!

    September Already?

    By HahliLavender,

    Ok, forget everything I've previously said about my future, because as far as I can tell, it's not happening. At least not in any way I can see. And when it comes to predicting the future, I'm as blind as a dead bat with no eyes.
     
    So what is happening? Well, I'm... um, *cough* moving again. I feel sorry for dragging any readers through this roller coaster of indecisiveness! But fortunately, I'm only moving about 30 minutes from where I am now! Which is new for me. I only have experience with moving across the country, so this should be a piece of cake!
     
    Anyway, I'm planning on attending a film festival next year that has its own "academy" course on filmmaking. The movie industry is another career possibility for me, and this is a great opportunity! I the meantime, I'm helping my dad with his business to earn money, so all's fine at the moment.
     
    ... Listening to the latest BZPowercast has made me want to attend BrickFair next year! I've never been to any kind of event like that, LEGO or otherwise. But I've wanted to go for a while, and I'm more likely able to attend next year than the previous years! Hooray for financial independence and driver's licenses!

    Leap Of Faith

    By HahliLavender,

    My life seems to have been speeding up recently!
     
    Last week I was invited buy a family friend to work in his print shop in Dallas for a couple of days, to have an idea of what it'd be like to work in a place like that. He want's to open one near where I live, and would like my artistic skills. I accepted the offer and learned a lot while there. I learned the entire screen-printing process; It's pretty easy, just time consuming. And I also got to work with Adobe Illustrator, getting a t-shirt design ready for a client. It was pretty fun!
     
    Anyway, me, my parents, and that guy and his wife are scheduled to get together soon to talk about his business plans, and how they could include me. I'm real exited! I don't know where this could take me, but I think it's a good start for my future!
     
    As for college... I've decide not to go right now. Though I may attend some classes at a community college to learn some essential art basics.
     
    And, today marks the first day in BZP history where I reveal my face!

    Superchick

    By HahliLavender,

    I would of posted this two days ago, but BZP wasn't working.
     
    Anyway, I'm back from this previously stated event! I met Superchick! Unfortunately we forgot our still-shot camera, but I have video of the event. And my sister got a phone shot of Tricia and Melissa Brock.
     

     
    Sorry about the quality; it was an old phone.
     
    I may be able to post a video of the event. Though I first need to edit it into a reasonable amount of time.
     
    At the event, we started with a mini concert (it was free!) then afterwards everyone went outside for a signing. I bought their album and had them each sign the insert. All but one though. One member of the band (Max) wasn't there for some reason.
     
    And my sister had her guitar signed.

    Spring Cleaning

    By HahliLavender,

    I've been updating the look of my blog, profile, avatar, and sig, etc., and I've added some content blocks. One showcasing some of my pixel work, and one dedicated to the Junkbot game on LEGO.com, because It's simply one of the greatest online LEGO games available, IMO. Feel free to use my Micro Kit for whatever reason, granted I receive credit.
     
    Junkbot Rocks!
     
    Anyway, now you can browse the various categories of my blog with "Categories of the Rainbow!" And be sure to check out the list of irrational fears in the "Words" block.
     
    Also, I feel I should mention, I occasionally add little easter eggs in select spots of my blog. Click in the right spot, and surprise!
     
    Well, I hope you like the new look. Oh, and the silhouette in my profile pic... yeah, that's me.

    *Jumps on mattress*
     
    I've just seen Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (through NetFlix), and I was surprised by how much I thoroughly enjoyed it! I don't have much to say about it except that it's a wonderful movie, and lots of fun to watch. I recommend you see it if you haven't yet.

    Disaster

    By HahliLavender,

    I don't know how many people here know, but there was a major tornado storm across the south of the United States. I just feel bad I didn't know about the tornados as it was happening. I live very close to where the storm hit, but fortunately we only got the edge of the storm. Our power was out most of the day, so we weren't able to watch the news. And we didn't think of trying the radio because we thought it was just a large thunder storm. Nothing deadly. I hope anyone reading this who lives in that area is OK.
     
    Appropriate song of the moment: Universal by John Reuben
     
    "This just in but I’m not paying attention
    Ignorance isn’t bliss but taking a break from it is"
     
    We've had the craziest weather this week. And I'm not only talking about the storm. 2 days of ice and snow, the next 2 days hot and humid, back to freezing, then massive tornados.

    In Due Time

    By HahliLavender,

    Turns out that the costume project might not hit full speed until summer due to general life and such. (We might be moving in the spring.) But anything I accomplish on the project I'll be sure to post here.

    Ac13!

    By HahliLavender,

    Ok, I finally entered the art contest! I wasn't sure if I was going to... I didn't have any ideas of what to do. But this morning I finally thought of it. And now I'm finished! Click the banner below to go to the topic.
     

     
    If you want to say something about the entry, please do so in the topic.

    Comandoment?

    By HahliLavender,

    I got Age of Empires III! I love that game! It's so much fun! We also got the LarryBoy PS2 game! It's fun too! What short sentences I'm speaking! And all with exclamations!
     
    OK, I'll stop now...
     
    I so want a Mac! (sorry, that will be the last time.) My PC can't handle anything I like to do. ;_; I want to make movies and create music! But everything I try doesn't work on my computer. Except Roxio, which is the only media suite I can get to work on my computer. It's good, but not perfect (like iLife). My dad said we're going to try to 'switch' sometime this year. I hope that's soon.
     
    *get's hopes up*
     
    My dad wants to get an iMac for the family, a MacBook for himself for work, and I totally want an iMac. Seriously the best personal computer invented! I just have to be patient.
     
    *waits*

    It's Groundhog Day. A holiday nowhere near as great as Christmas, but not as useless as Arbor Day. So I thought I would post some groundhog trivia.
     


    (1) The groundhog (binomial name - marmota monax) is also
    referred to as a woodchuck or wistlepig. 
    (2) They eat grass, garden vegetables, leaves, twigs, apples, berries, and even dandelions.
     
    (3) Groundhogs burrow tunnels up to 5 ft deep, and 45 ft long.
     
    (4) Common predators of groundhogs include wolves, hawks and owls.
     
    (5) There's a 1993 movie called Groundhog Day.
     
    (6) You can learn more about groundhogs at Wikipedia.
     
     
     
    Also, it looks like some groundhogs don't agree on having an early spring.

    6 more weeks of winter — Jimmy the Groundhog, Holtsville Hal
     
    Early Spring — Punxsutawney Phil, Staten Island Chuck, Wiarton Willie, Shubenacadie Sam and General Beauregard Lee of Georgia, Malverne Me

    So Tired...

    By HahliLavender,

    Last night I was feeling sick of my crowded junk-filled room, so I decided to do something about it. For over a year now, my bed was resting on two saw-horses, my closet was filled with random junk, and things slowly piled up under my bed, on my desk, and all over my shelf unit. Well, I was up all night last night starting this daunting task, and I got everything out from under my bed, which was a lot. My bed was about 3 ft above the ground (I wanted it elevated then), stuffed with a ton of things underneath. So I pulled everything out! My entire room was then filled with junk, you couldn't even see the floor! ( well, you could, but you know what I mean. )
     
    Then I went to bed.
     
    I spent all day today cleaning and organizing my things. My closet was packed with who knows what, and now it's almost empty! Nothing's under my bed, and nothing ever will, because it's on a platform now... real low to the ground.
     
    I'm finally almost done! I just have to find a place for some things... and then vacuum, of course.
     
    So tired...

    Just a small update... I fanally changed the navigation images! I was pretty tired of the other ones. They weren't very good.
     
    Oh yeah, and I moved my website to a new host. In case anyone wanted to know.

    Happy New Year!

    By HahliLavender,

    Sorry for not being active for so long. We had some family visiting from New York for the past week!
     
    And I got Comatose for Christmas!
     
    Why does that relate to this entry?
     
    Well, for the new year, I present to you a piece of work I've done based on Skillet's song Looking for Angels. I really like that song, and after hearing it, I got inspired to make this. Click here for a wallpaper version. (1024x768)
     
    Happy New Year!
     
    ...
     
    Hard to believe '06 is over now.

    I thought the Free the Band thing was passed, but I've just received something else! I didn't know it, but apparently I won 2nd prize! I got a skate deck, poster, t-shirt, lanyard, Inika Hahli, an AAR CD, and Bionicle heroes for PC!
     

     
    The poster is in much better condition than the last one I got, and this lanyard card has Nuparu on it. The only thing is the t-shirt is very small. I might give it to my younger cousin for Christmas. And since I already have Hahli, I might give it to someone else for Christmas.
     
    I would of posted this earlier, but BZP was down. (And Bionicle Heroes is just so fun! )

    Ok, it's been a long time since I last posted an entry, so I'll fill you in on what's happened so far.
     
    My dad and two of my sisters had a birthday at the beginning of the month. My sister Megan turned 15 on Sep. 30, and both my dad and my other sister had a birthday on the 1st! My baby sister Liana turned 1, but I forgot how old my dad turned, (though he'd probably appreciate that .)
     
    Let's see... I know, my current favorite songs:
    Not listed in any particular order.
     
    Song Name - Artist - My Comment
     
    Never Alone - Barlow Girl - (love the video)
    Whispers In The Dark - Skillet - (I just plain like it)
    Move Along - AAR - (nope, still haven't gotten tired of it.)
    We Live - Superckic[k] - (great message)
    Never Far Behind - Aly & A.J. - (what friendship really is)
    Technologic - Daft Punk - (believe it or not, I think I know all the words)
    Nuisance - John Reuben - (a nice rap with a melody)
    Hero - Superchic[k] - (the smallest act of kindness can change the lives of many)
     
    Ok, back to other stuff. In the past several months, my dad and the company he worked for had been working on a mall. It finished Oct. 4! The day it opened the Malco theater that was part of it was showing every movie for $1, and all popcorn & soda just 50¢! But they were showing movies that either are, or are about to be on DVD. Hence the "bargain." I wanted to see PotC2, but I saw cars again with my family instead. Which, in the end turned out to be best. Near the beginning, PotC2 started to go in slow motion, then started blinking, and went completely black. Everyone in the lobby was talking about it.
     
    Oh yeah, and I got Nuparu!
     
    Well, that's about it for now. Just assuring you all that I am indeed still alive.

    Uuugghhhh... Tired...

    By HahliLavender,

    Let's see... I'll start with Wednesday.
     
    Two days ago I got a haircut. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. (Before, it was just below my ears.) But I like how it looks now. Not too short, but I like it. I don't have a very good past with haircuts. For several years, everywhere I got a haircut, they either cut it shorter than I was comfortable with, or I just didn't like it in one way or another. But I like this haircut.
     
    Ok, on to yesterday...
     
    A family in our church gave us free guest passes to an amusement park in Missouri called Silver Dollar City. And we went yesterday along with practically our whole church. It's been about 7 years since I last went to an amusement park. I went to Six Flags in Wisconsin once before.
     
    I got to go off with one of my friends and go on rides and stuff. There are two major rollercoasters, and I went on them about 6 times each! It was so fun! There were many other rides as well that I went on, but those two rollercoasters were my favorite! I've never been on the back of a rollercoaster before this, but yesterday I did just to know what it was like. I'm never doing that again! I found out that if you sit in the very back of a rollercoaster, there's more pressure and afterwards you feel dizzy and sick. The front is much better. And for me it's more fun! So if you want to feel fast, scared, like you won't survive, or any combination of the three, ride in the front. But if you want to feel compressed with pressure and almost black out then feel sick and dizzy afterwards, ride in the back. According to my experiences anyway.
     
    My feet were killing me afterwards from all the walking. When we got home, I couldn't wait to get to bed. Fortunately it was a Friday night, so I got to sleep in. I woke up at 10:30 today! In fact, I went to bed at 10:30 last night. Whoa, I slept for 12 hours!
     
    Also, there was a huge storm last night. B) In case you wanted to know.

    Ahhhhh...

    By HahliLavender,

    Just so you know, that's not a scream.
     
    It's such a nice day out today! I opened my bedroom window a wile ago and now is smells so good in here! So fresh!
