    A Short Second

    By a goose,

    Hello, reader. If you are reading this, then well done! You are now 'not normal'. Because normal people tend to ignore this blog. You can take that however you wish. I'd prefer you took it as a compliment, though, as I have more than enough enemies on BZP at the moment.
     
    Well, if you're still reading this, you must have taken it as a compliment, so I'll get to the point:
    I recently heard someone use the phrase 'a short second'. I've figured out that it's useless, as a second is a specific measurement. There can't be a short or a long second.
    So why do people use the phrase? What's the point in it?

    Why Not?

    By a goose,

    I've noticed my blog isn't very popular. Therefore, I ask:
    Why?
    Why isn't my blog as popular as others?
    Is the title too long?
    Am I boring? (Because I'm certainly bored...)
    Is my blog inconspicuous?
    Are you all just procrastinating and planning to comment?
    Please answer me! PLEASE!

    Bored

    By a goose,

    I'm bored at the moment. But, my comic got into the 2011 Advent Calendar! Yay!
    You'll find it below this line of text:
     

     
    I remember how long it took to make that Santa hat...
     
    In other news:
    There is no other news.

    My First Post

    By a goose,

    This is my first blog post.
    Well, that's not entirely true. I have a website with another blog, too.
    But I think I prefer this one.
    Anyhow, as the title says, and as the little bit under the title says, this blog is exactly what it says on the tin.
    A miscellaneous detail at the moment would be that I am unwell.

    By a goose,

    alternative title: This Is Primarily For My Own Benefit And The Recordings Aren't Of A Particularly High Quality (Although I'd Like To Think The Piano Is Good), But I Would Like To Share It With Anyone Interested

    (left like that because i know i can't click blog links at the very least)
    so yeah
    this is primarily for my own benefit, and the recordings aren't of a particularly high quality (although i'd like to think the piano is good), but i would like to share it with anyone interested
     
    i play the piano and i've been recording some stuff and putting it on my soundcloud account, and i'll probably be updating it pretty much weekly (usually on tuesdays)
    that's my soundcloud up there
    y'all can listen to it if you like, i guess?

    "It's A Choice."

    By a goose,

    Please do not take this entry as a personal attack. Although I do reference another blog post in it, I am not making this simply to argue with that person; I am making this because of an opinion expressed in it which causes me pain and because I feel that I need to say something. This is not about the people who make these comments so much as it is about the comments themselves, and the reasons that I find them hurtful.
     
    I have not gotten involved in this kind of thing in the past, but I feel that it's time I speak up, even if I am not as eloquent as some of our other members.
     
    BZPower is, for the most part, a loving and respectful community. There are times when it is not, but I must agree with Sumiki's most recent entry when I say that for the most part I am proud of this site's members. But I'm not going to focus on that. I'm going to focus on a very specific element of this which is deeply hurtful to me.
     
    To begin, I am going to admit that I am bisexual. As such it stands to reason that I will be offended by homophobia and blatant bigotry. For the most part, though, I do my best to tune it out -- these people are ignorant, and for all I care they can continue to be.
     
    But tonight, I saw a blog post which I cannot ignore, because that post stated that sexuality is a choice. It then went on to state that whether or not one believes sexuality is a choice is up to them.
     
    I did not choose my sexuality. You do not have the right to tell me that I chose my sexuality. That is ridiculous.
     
    I have been told before that I chose my sexuality. I have been told before that my sexuality does not exist. Well, to those of you who believe this, please, introduce me to the world you live in; I imagine it's one heck of a lot more pleasant than mine.
     
    If sexuality were a choice, do you think that we would choose a life of insecurity and oppression?
     
    Anyone who believes sexuality is a choice is very clearly wrong. And yet, I have had people tell me that I chose this. I am going to be completely honest and say that if I had the choice, I would choose to be heterosexual. The fact that I even have to think this is proof that there is something very seriously wrong here, and it isn't me or people like me.
     
    "But," one might argue, "What if you made the choice in order to seek attention?"
     
    I am not an attention seeker. I did not wake up one day and decide, "I'm going to be bisexual, that sounds like fun."
     
    Why would someone believe that? Why would someone think that I or anyone else would want to have the kind of internal conflict that comes from this?
    I have been struggling with my sexuality for the past two years of my life. One of my best friends, among the first people who I made aware of it, helped me through the struggle to actually say the word 'bisexual'. I was so ashamed of myself, so scared of what I was, that I genuinely could not say it out loud, even just to him. This is the effect of the homophobic environment I've been raised in, that most of us have likely been raised in. I hated myself because of something I could not change, and to some degree I still do. Tell me that that was a choice. Tell me that I wanted this. (Side note: Please don't)
     
    I am ashamed and scared of who I am, and I am ashamed and scared to admit it, and it is because of 'beliefs' and 'opinions' like these.
     
    I am going to end this entry here, because although I have more to say I do not particularly want to say it for fear of going over the top. I don't like being hated, and I don't want other people to feel hated as a result of my actions. Although I was going to keep the comments on this entry open, I have decided after thinking about it that it may be for the best that I keep it locked, given that I am worried that this entry may come off as aggressive or as an attack on certain people. If anyone who reads this does, however, want to comment, I encourage you to PM me.

    My New Avatar

    By a goose,

    Alright, so by now you will all have become somewhat used to the fact that in between the various random items I choose to have as my avatar (chibi humanised BZPRPG character, security camera from Person of Interest, etc) I tend to have images of (in my opinion) attractive males.
    This is because I feel the need to set my 'celebrity' (all of these people are fairly well-known, after all, just not known by everyone apparently) crush as my avatar, and more often than not, aforementioned crush is male. Which is why it's attractive males, as opposed to attractive members of both genders -- the former is slightly more popular in my mind than the latter, and we'll leave that at that.
    So, to take the place of Tom Milsom, Troye Sivan (who some of you will know from X-Men Origins: Wolverine as the kid who played young Logan at the start of the film) is now my avatar. He is an Australian actor, singer, and vlogger, who came to my attention when he was playing the part of a young Tom Milsom in a documentary-type-thing about YouTube and YouTubers.
    He had to dye his hair blue for the part, but he pulled it off pretty well, even if it was the wrong shade.
     
    So yeah, that is the explanation behind my new avatar. : D

    The 12th Doctor

    By a goose,

    My opinion explained in an extract from a conversation on this topic:
     
    Other Person: Hopefully he has chosen wisely, otherwise he could lose fans.
     
    Me: *lose more fans

    Life Update

    By a goose,

    I haven't had reason to use this in a while, so I figured I may as well tell y'all where I am.
     
    Academic:
    Maths GSCE completed, meaning no more test worries.
     
    BZPower:
    Due to the completion of my Maths GCSE, I can now devote more time to my writing, which means more updates! Yay! Any readers of Marked or my other epics should be happy about this. Those of you who haven't read my epics -- I recommend Marked, it's in OTC, have a look at it. Only 9 chapters (and a very short prologue) so far, so it's hardly massive.
    Also more time for the BZPRPG.
     
    Life:
    Oh yeah that's a bit complicated, probably won't be mentioning this often. But yeah. There is stuff.
    I think.

    Coming Soon

    By a goose,

    The world as you know it is a lie.
    ---This is the simple truth, and the one that most people cannot accept. It is the reason that we exist; to preserve this lie. We protect you from the truth, and you will never know. You can continue about your daily lives as though the world is exactly the same as it has always been.
    ---But, in actuality, it is not. The world is changing, and soon we will have to adapt or die. But until then, know that you are safe. Know that we are here to protect you, to defend you. Know that we are here to keep the peace.

    Saw this on a site I can't name here, but guys, if this is being said and BZP is saying that it has taken over LEGO (B6 even specifically said they were bringing back Galidor!) it has to be true!
    THIS IS AMAZING

    I have a new second-favourite artist (musically), and he is named Tom Milsom.
     
    I recommend listening to his song Indigo.
    I would also recommend A Little Irony and About Our Universe, and maybe They if you enjoy the other stuff and still have time.

    Epic

    By a goose,

    I wrote a really, really short prologue for an epic. Wouldn't take much time to read and review it. Really wouldn't. You should go read it.
    I do have actual reasons for it being short and not terribly descriptive; the protagonist is a Ko-Matoran and it's written in the first person. I could be descriptive, yeah, and I tried to put in as much description as possible without seeming out of character, but still. Give five minutes of your time up to go over and read and review it. Please.
    (yes I really am desperate enough to write a blog post asking you to go read it)

    I Don't Even

    By a goose,

    I find myself feeling inferior because I just found someone more obsessed with one of my obsessions than me.
    What is the world coming to.

    So, last few days of my life. Usually, pretty boring.
    But on Wednesday, I triggered a series of events that have been referred to as an emotional rollercoaster, bouncy ball, and resonating mass-spring system. You all remember my ex? Of course you do. It's the only interesting thing I've ever blogged about. It was the talk of BZPower for a while, simply because a BZP'er getting a normal girlfriend is so uncommon.
    Because I have talked about it far too many times, I'm going to provide you with a censored version of my best summary:
    And there we are.

    Birthday

    By a goose,

    Not mine, my ex-girlfriend's. Spoke to me for the first time since September today, even if it was only to thank me for wishing her a happy birthday.
    Thought it was worth noting.
