    Guys, as some of you know, I have a little brother. As with most siblings, at this age, we fight quiet often (there is a six year difference between us, I am turning thirteen). Over the summer, he was extremely sweet, not insulting toward my life of not popular or jock like geekery. Now that school has started, he has been going around, dissing me, and using me as an outlet for all of his school and social life related issues, by insulting me, and my interests. I know he is six, but having someone, even a loved little brother, constantly belittle you can really affect your self esteem. If something similar has happened to anyone and if you have any advice, please let me know.

    Say, hey!
     
    Hear the sound of the falling rain
    Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
    The shame
    The ones who died without a name
     
    Hear the dogs howling out of key
    To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
    And bleed, the company lost the war today
     
    I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
    This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
    On holiday
     
    Hear the drum pounding out of time
    Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)
    To find, the money's on the other side
     
    Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
    There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
    And gag a price tag bag on a monument
     
    I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
    This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
    On holiday

    Well... I'ma gonna be home-schooled next year! That really happened fast. XD Well, I don't really have any friends at the school I want to, and we'll save tons of cash now. I can also pursue other interests, like Cocoa, PHP, and Objective-C.
     
    I got the Raven Rise (part of the Pendragon series) and I think it'll be epic. This is probably because I have to finish A Seperate Peace before I start RR.
     
    Also, does anyone know how much a full set of the original Bionicle Masks would cost?
     
     
    Edit - I think I broke my small toe last night... I can't move it horizontally, put pressure on it, or even allow it to move, and it's red...

    I am going to Schlitterbahn thursday through friday, and I am shipping my new laptop back to Apple Computers due to cosmetic issues. It might be a while before I see some of the familiar faces (okay, okay, I know, avatars, usernames, sigs, but not faces ) here at BZP *sigh*.

    Wow... I love my school...
     
    One of my 9 classmates wrote a story today about four of my classmates uniting to murder me. More specifically, burn me into an unrecognizable, grotesque, and charred corpse.

    Well guys, I'm still alive.
     
    ...
     
    Amazing, huh?
     
    The time in Vernon (a town in Northern France) was nice, we got to see the Monet gardens and museum. We stayed at a bed and breakfast in that area, and I had no internet... :'(
     
    I got back to the U.S. last night, after a 28hr flight
    Then, in Newark, our plane was on the runway to leave for Atlanta, but our plane was HELD UP on the runway, for 3hrs because of storms in Atlanta. We got to the hotel around 11:50 PM. Jetlag is cruel. It should die.
     
    I finally posted the shop that I got permission for 3yrs ago, go check it out.

    As most know, I'm a maccie. As most know, I try to code software. As most know, I make icons in Photoshop. As most know, I code websites.
     
    I am part of the staff of OPT-6 Software (I'm only responsible for the site a graphics, I didn't do the content or code the apps). Our face app is called Kameleon, which is a theming app for macs (10.5 and up). I have just finished the icons for version 2.0, and it IS EPIC.

    I MADE THEM!!!
    EDIT - The app should be out before next wednesday. We hope.

    Leopards go growl. Mac OS 10.5 does not. If you d not get it, go check out Apple's website. I finished installing Leopard on my Mom's and my computers... IT ROCKS! Other than the graphics being the biggest junk Apple has ever released...

    Well, Merry Xmas everyone!
    I am in North Carolina now enjoying Xmas with my nieces (3, 8, and 10), and Xmas has been great for everyone. Simon got the Webkinz he has been wanting, Nat (niece-10) and Cece (niece-8) both got ipod nanos. XD They are obsessed, Cece keeps leaving her ipod on the ground where people almost always get exremely close to stepping on it. Of course, they listen to it all the time, and now they scream while talking. Now there are 3 families over, 20 people in all. Most are kids under 10, I am oldest, I was watching them. They are the most hyper little things on the planet. I got my dad an iPhone, he fell in love with it already. My mom also love her Bose Sound Dock. Also, I got Simon Lewa, Tanma, Kopaka, Solek, and Antroz. They arrived, Antroz was on the receipt, but not in the box! We will have them ship it to us soon, but Simon still loved them. As for me, I was not expecting much (a print or two from DA, not much else). Oddly enough, my parents got me a camera which I had never asked for It rox, they were tired of me using their camera for Mocography. XD
     
    Over the past few days I redesigned my website, it will be online soon, I will post a link. It includes over 12 new icon sets, they rock.
     
    For those who are Mac users, there is the Xmas Mac promotion run by Phillip Antonie I am a member of, it is free, and I got $165 of shareware from it (not a penny spent on my part) so far. I believe we get more at New Years, I will email you a link if you ask.

    YAYZ! I've purchased Toa Onuta's two brown misprints, and I have a trans-light-blue kaukau coming in from Czar in two or three days.
  14. wil
    Okay, this is like stamp collecting, but even more trivial. jk
     
    So, I now have a green ruru and trans-yellow Kaukau coming in from Denmark!
    Czar shipped his, and the ones from New Zealand should be arriving this week. I'm also chatting with Czar about trading for his blue Matatu.

    Actual exchanges between pilots and control towers
     
    Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!"
    Delta 351: "Give us another hint! We have digital watches!"
    ****************************************************************************************************
    Tower: "TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees."
    TWA 2341: "Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"
    Tower: "Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"
    ****************************************************************************************************
    From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm ####### bored!"
    Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!"
    Unknown aircraft: "I said I was ####### bored, not ####### stupid!"
    ****************************************************************************************************
    O'Hare Approach Control to a 747:
    "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokke r, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound."
    United 329:"Approach, I've always wanted to say this...I've got the little Fokker in sight."
    ******************************************************************************************************
    A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked,
    "What was your last known position?"
    Student: "When I was number one for takeoff."
    *****************************************************************************************************
    A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down. San Jose Tower Noted:
    "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able,
    take the Guadeloupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport."
    ******************************************************************************************************
    There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked".
    Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two, behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down.
    "Ah," the fighter pilot remarked, "The dreaded seven-engine approach."
    *******************************************************************************************************
    A Pan Am 727 flight, waiting for start clearance in Munich, overheard the following:
    Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
    Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
    Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?"
    Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war!"
    *****************************************************************************************************
    Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency 124.7"
    Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw a dead animal at the far end of the runway."
    Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?"
    BR Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern... we've already notified our caterers."
    ********************************************************************************************************
    One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed.
    The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee.
    Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said,
    "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?"
    The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger:
    "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one."
    *******************************************************************************************************
    The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot.
    They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them.
    So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control
    and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.
    Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."
    Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."
    The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
    Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
    Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
    Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"
    Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I didn't land."
    ******************************************************************************************************
    While taxiing at London's Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming:
    "US Air 2771, where the ###### are you going?! I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there.
    I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D, but get it right!"
    Cont inuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically:" God! Now you've screwed everything up!
    It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour, and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?"
    "Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded!
    Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind Tension in every cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high.
    Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"

    I hope thats the last chain letter I ever post here.
     
    Also, I've got all of the 2002-2003 episodes working on the media center, and I have all of the 2008 serials there. I don't think I'm going to add ones from 07. I'm working on the Vahki animations now, but I still need to decide how to organize the entire thing...
