I was recently sitting in a class, and the meaniebutt who sits behind me was, without really going into the details, bullying me. The guy sitting beside him tried to point out that he was doing wrong, but do you know what he said in response? There are so many things that are wrong with this statement that I could never write all of them down, but I'm going to tackle a few right now.
He was being serious. You read right -- this guy honestly thought that it wasn't considered 'bullying' unless it was enough to drive a person to suicide. I don't know what the worst part of this is. The fact that he was just taking suicide for granted? The fact that he was convinced that he was doing nothing wrong? Maybe the fact that, according to this statement, he was happy to call himself innocent, convinced that if he wasn't it would drive me to suicide, and only then would he be wrong. Let me repeat that: he recognised some of the worst consequences of bullying and he still went through with it, happy to wait until someone died before he would stop. There is something really, really wrong with our society if people taking their own lives can be taken for granted like that. Okay, so maybe he was joking. Let's consider that for a second. Not only was okay with bullying someone to suicide (admittedly, what he was doing to me wasn't serious to that point, but it doesn't change the fact that he pretty much said he would be cruel to people until they killed themselves), he was happy enough to make a joke about people committing suicide due to bullying.
I'm not going to make more points, because this'll end up as line upon line of ' ' emotes if I do. But, I think the point in this is that there is something really wrong here. We're never going to end bullying, despite the consequences it's been shown to have, because as I've just shown, many of these people honestly do not care about the consequences of their actions. That's all for now.

I'm gonna be gone for a week. But don't worry, you'll still get a daily blog post. I'm typing them out right now. B) I'll be in Donegal, once again. So long, dear friends. I might be on every now and then. Just to annoy y'all.
As you all know, I have been bringing my characters back to the BZPRPG after the Hungry Hungry Games, and I've been trying to do it in insane ways that NO-ONE WOULD EVER EXPECT. But I need some help. I need to bring Ignotus back, and I don't know how.
Well, Onarax asked me to post this, due to Hubert's absence (you musta really ticked him off, Hub. He made a meme and everything!).
You may remember him mentioning about getting a group of RP'ers together for a nice little chat, preferably with tea and biscuits. Well, okay, maybe not the last part. Anyhow, the two topics that he expects you, the public, to choose from are: Character Creation (how people make characters, their inspiration, etceteras); Player-Created Additions to the game (how people make things such as the Parakuka, and NEX, and those other examples Onarax gave me that I can't be bothered copy-pasting).
I have a NEW character in the BZPRPG, Reichenbach. As part of a plan which is absolutely brilliant, I am going to DESTROY the detective Thedar Chronn, and his employees. But Chronn first. He'll be the most fun.
So, if you want a character who has slipped into inactivity, or who you have just become bored with, dead... Then I'll be more than happy to help. Two clients and counting!
I've decided my blog needs something unique; This will be a caption contest. Give your captions in the comments section, and I'll decide which caption is funniest! Every week there will be a new photo.
First Place: 55555, 'Pterodactyl: "...It was this big! I swear!"
MOC: "Yeah, yeah sure, you and your fish stories."'
Runner-Up: Bulik, 'MOC: wanna find out if you can fit under my foot?
pterodactyl: 0.0'
New Photo:
Bowties... are... COOL!
Announcement:
Those of you who read my epic, Shadows, may or may not know that it is the first part of a trilogy. Well, the names of the second and third epic have been decided:
First Place: Hubert, 'You see this Dalek? This is my sonic screwdriver? You know why I like it? Because it's big, shiny and absolutely fantastic. You know what else is fantastic? The guy who's going to knock you out with a sonic screwdriver.'
Runner-up: Bulik, 'MOC: If you could see this, we'd find a picture of it in the dictionary beside the word "awesome"'
Okay, time to announce the winners of last week's caption contest!
Winner: 55555, 'One step closer and the MOC gets it.'
Runners-up: Hubert, 'Hello ladies. Look at your raccoon, now back to me, now back at your raccoon, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me, but if he stopped eating your wires and started eating Old Raccoon Spices, his breath could smell like mine. Look down, back up. Where are you? You're in Vorex's house with the Raccoon Your Raccoon Could Smell Like. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's a piece of plastic with two pieces of that thing you love. Look again, the pieces are now LEGO. Anything is possible when your raccoon smells like Old Raccoon Spices and not wires. I'm on a corpse.'
Zoma, 'I’m a Raccoon and this time in your House has been the best week of my Raccoon life. I’m digging and nesting in this plastic stuff. I already tore apart like four MOCs. I’m the smartest Raccoon I know. And if you got your building skills where you got your plastic toys, you could be rebuilding this yourself.'
I will edit the image into this post when Brickshelf comes back online. Congratulations to the winners!
this is the day when we Irish people celebrate being Irish by staying inside to avoid getting injured in parades and most Americans celebrate being 'Irish' by wearing Scottish kilts and playing bagpipes and let's not forget the Guiness
If you're expecting me to start singing 'Alvin & the Chipmunks' you've got another thing coming. What this entry's really about is, what are you planning to get for Christmas? I wanted to get Mario Kart 7 (sold out), Super Mario 3D Land (sold out), the Doctor Who Series 6 box set, a new phone, and a number of other items related to Doctor Who. And Jaller Inika. Since MK7 and SM3DL are sold out, I'm going to be getting either 'The Sims 3: Pets' for 3DS, or 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D' which I would already have, had I not been broke since I spent all my money on a 3DS in April, so that I could play Ocarina when it came out (Oh, the irony).
So, what're you, my readers, getting for Christmas?
