    The Quiz

    By a goose,

    This is a not-so-common sense quiz!
     
    Alright, each answer will be hidden in a spoiler. You have to THINK about the answer first, and comment with your original answer. The answers themselves will be hidden in spoilers.

    alright so I'll be honest: I love my current name and I'm going to return to it as soon as I can, but for now I feel like putting my name change in the audience's hands.
    so hit me with your best name suggestions, I'll pick the best ones and then you can pick the best of those and then we'll all feel happy. Apart from me, I'll feel like a cool dude because I'll have a silly name.

    So, this probably won't get noticed, and if this were on any other topic I'd follow that up with 'but I don't really care'. Honestly though, I do, and I am deeply ashamed of that.
    For whatever reason, I have always wanted people to pay attention to me. And not like your usual acknowledging someone exists kind of attention - I want people to be interested in the things I do, even when the things I do aren't interesting. I've been trying to tone this element of my personality down, but it's still there, just hanging around telling me that I should do stuff to make people notice me. Worse again, since I feel an inclination toward doing weird stuff anyway, I'm never sure even within myself if I'm doing something because I want to do it or because I want attention.
    I want other people to pay attention to me. I want other people to like me and to shower me with praise. I have a lot of problems with paranoia as soon as I get this attention, though, and unfortunately they end up being right often enough to make me scared of attention. I don't know why I'm simultaneously scared of attention and really want it. I'm scared of being around people and scared of being alone, as well. I'm not great with the whole consistency gig.
     
    Since being attention-seeking is not a particularly nice trait, I'm always trying to disguise it when it comes up. But I do feel the need to show off. I could easily just write in my own time, show a friend or two, feel a little proud of myself. Instead I write on a website, put banners and links in my signature, post links on my blog, ask all my friends to read it, and I always showcase it as 'look at this cool thing I made' rather than its actual meaning of 'look how cool I am, please pay attention to me'. Even the people who I already know care about me regardless are affected by this. I need to show off, I need to be different. Any time social interactions are going on, I have to be the strangest person in the room, because that's how you get people's attention, the attention that I crave and am terrified of. And, in all honesty, I'm making this blog entry so people will pay attention to it and pay attention to me, and I don't know to what degree that makes me a horrible person. And that last sentence was deliberately structured to get people's pity up so that they would pay attention to me and tell me I'm not an awful human being, and no matter how hard I try to stop I just keep doing the things that I think will make people look at me. I can't give a proper ending to this blog entry, since it's just me ranting about myself. I'm an attention-seeker who is terrified of attention, and overall just pretty great at life.
    (as a general rule, though, I do not lie in order to get other people's attention. There are lines)

    Hi. If you're reading this, then my personality has been replaced temporarily with that of Reichenbach. The replacement should just last 24 hours.

    What? Seriously?

    By a goose,

    It appears that the whole Brykon's Eleven plot has only just gotten started, yet Reichenbach now 'likes' Dorian (and Nikarra may or may not have similar feelings, she's sort of arguing with herself over that), and they have given Reichenbach a large number of requests, and drawn a small amount of suspicion.

    Christmas, Christmas...

    By a goose,

    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?

    Timezones put me ahead of most of you in time. So what's happening for you has already happened where I am. (What do you mean timezones don't work that way? Spoilsport)
     
    I can tell you that you will have difficulty falling asleep tonight;
    That you will wake up unusually early (relative to your normal time);
    And that you will get the majority of the items on your list when you look under your Christmas tree.
    Oh yeah, and you're gonna read this sentence.
     
    Am I psychic or what?

    Mere moments ago, I reread the e-mail from LEGO concerning the discontinuation of BIONICLE.
    Even though it's been over two years, it still brought a tear to my eye. So remember during this happy time, that two years ago BIONICLE was still out there, bringing purpose to our lives and emptiness to our wallets. Now, it's only a ghost of what it once was.
    January 1st 2010 was the beginning of a decade and the end of an era.
