    So I had a choice. Either go to a all-nighter church party in Indiana with some friends and my pastor, or go to a morg and see a dead guy dissected on a biology field trip.
     
    I chose the party.
     
    So, I get there, and there are about seventy other kids there. It's in a small (but incredibly nice!) Christian school. I didn't sleep at all, of course. We went duckpin bowling, but I didn't do anything, because I didn't know anyone. As the night went on, I had met about twenty new people, and they were all very nice.
     
    Once back at the school, we had a sermon from the pastor of our denomination's church up in northern Indiana. After that, we all had pizza.
     
    It was around this time we all split up. Anyone I had originally come with had finally left me with some people to go hang with their own friends. I was sorta nervous, but I had fun laughing and getting free Skittles.
     
    After a while, I was pretty much hanging out with two girls (I'll refer to them by the first letters of their names, M and V). M went to go play in a dodgeball tournament, so V and I sat on the bleachers and talked for about forty-five minutes. I have to say, it was so incredible hearing about her life, and all the things she has to go through.
     
    After the dodgeball tournament, we all hung out a bit more, played a game or two. M went to go talk to some other friends, and I was with V and some of our friends by a piano. We were all singing and having fun. But honestly, V has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. And when we were walking around after that, I told her that. Then I said that I sucked at singing. She said she bet that I didn't, and that I sounded great. Then she told me to sing for her. I did, after a bit of complaining, and when she was done, she said I sounded great. Then she dragged me around and was like, let's find something to sing together. After we finally found a psalm book, we sat around and sang for a bit.
     
    Now, let me tell you, I don't know a lot of psalms, but I can follow okay if someone starts me off.
     
    Suddenly, a ton of people came in and started singing all the parts of the psalm we were singing. Bass, alto, harmony, and V and I were covering melody. It was incredible. People actually followed me (till we got to hard stuff out of my range ). And the fellowship I had, the happiness I felt being able to bond with people so fast that I had just met made me feel so loved.
     
    In the end, I finally believe that I am a good singer. I mean, if someone who's practically a stranger tells you that you have a great voice, and a group of ten to twenty kids is following your lead for melody and not complaining, I finally acknowledge that I, in fact, do not suck at singing, and I actually have been gifted with an amazing voice.

    Life's been okay lately. I'm on spring break right now. A few other cool things have happened.
     
    First off, I go to TRU because I got a 20% off coupon and was hoping to maybe get Kopaka or something.
     
    We, my mom and I, walk into the Bionicle aisle. There's still that buy two get the third one free sale going on. I see Icarax, and I turn to my mom and say, "I'm gonna get this instead." She looks at the tags on the sets and then glances over on me.
     
    "Why not get them all?"
     
    Of course, I did a double take.
     
    More like a quad take.
     
    Not being one to argue, I shove in all the Matoran, and Pohatu, Kopaka, and Vamprah into the cart (they didn't have the other two Makuta, but that's just fine, considering that I already had Lewa, so I would be wasting money then).
     
     
    Then, last night I got really sick. Bad, bad, bad fever. I was convulsing on the couch, and I couldn't move.
     
    Well, eventually I had to because I went to throw up.
     
    Today I was a whole lot better, though.
     
     
    So, that's my week. I'll be posting more in this week. I'm on spring break, baby!

    Well, if you haven't noticed, I've changed my color to green. All new pictures, and all new banner and avatar colors.
     
    In other news, I got the Across the Universe Soundtrack Deluxe Edition today. It's really cool. I also have some new swim shorts that I got for $10. They look awesome. Can't wait to put them to use.
     
    Also, I got one more thing. I'd like to give a shout-out to Zyglakky Sharky, whose birthday is today! Happy Birthday!

    Why, good morning! I didn't expect to see you here! Why don't you come in? *opens door*
     
    As you can see, things are a little messy. Be careful not to step on the inflatable clown!
     
    *squeak*
     
    Too late, I suppose? Oh well. Hmm...how can I entertain you? Oh! I could teach you how to tightrope walk over a pit of lava...
     
    But...if you didn't get the hang of it the first time, I'm afraid there wouldn't be another chance to try...
     
    OH! I have another idea!
     
    Let's go play in traffic!
     
    You in?
     
    Yay!
     
    *opens door and runs out into the street*
     
    Hey, what's that car have taped onto the window?
     
    If a doctor suddenly died while doing surgery, would the other doctors work on the doctor or the patient?
     
    The funny thing is that he's headed toward the hospital...

    ♥ Hola! ♥

    By Tak-E,

    Yeah, I had one of those BZP lapses again. (Ya know, the ones usually caused by giant dinosaurs attacking my town.) Luckily, Larry Boy arrived on the scene and saved the city.
     
    Snow is melting! Yay! It's been raining and warmish lately...but that could be due to the fact that I recently installed a giant heating lamp on top of my house...
     
    So, you all know what a really good main part of a song is...? I mean, you ever heard an awesome chorus to a song?
     
    Shut up.
     
    Okay, here's one!
     
    Now I'm gone
    It's too late
    You can't fix
    Your mistakes
    I was trying to save you from you
    So you scream
    So you cry
    I can see
    Through your lies
    You're just trying to change me
    (Trying to change me)
     
    Like it? It's Time to Say Goodbye by Simple Plan. Go get it...
     
    NOW!!
     
    Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to yell at you like that...
     
    Would a Random Question of the Day make it better?
     
    *shoves random question in your mouth like a lollipop*
     
    If you wear contact lens and you die with them in your eyes, do they take them out?

    ♥ Changes ♥

    By Tak-E,

    A few things. First off, I've picked my new color. It'll appear on everything starting March 9th. So watch out for that. Secondly, I'll also be changing the name of my blog, as well as my hearts for my blog (they'll change to another symbol, unless I get protest about that). And finally, I wrote a free verse poem, based off of a discussion I was having with my friend the other day. Let me know what you think about it...
     
     
    What if I’m not meant for this?
    What if I could make a mark in this world?
    The price I pay would be my love.
    But, could it be worth it?
    Not all have love; that is true.
    Is it my reality?
    Is it my destiny?
    I didn’t choose it.
    But that doesn’t matter.
    I know who did.
    And maybe there’s a reason.
    Maybe, in the end, I’ll make an influence.
    One day, I could change the world.
    Just a single price,
    The biggest toll;
    On me, my heart, my life.
    I want the eternal joy.
    But what if I’m not meant for it?
    What if I could save you?

    ♥ What If ♥

    By Tak-E,

    I FIXED MY COMPUTER!
     
    Yeah, it broke. About a month ago. But I fixed it now!
     
    What if I change the world..
    If I lead the way?
    What if I be the one..
    That takes the blame?
    What if I can't go on without you?
    What if I graduate?
    What if I don't?
    What if I don't?

    By Tak-E,

    Anyone got an adorable valentine's day story about something they did today?
     
    I'll give you a prize if you tell me one.

    Would you believe I actually made a MOC? It's been so long since I've made one. But I used to make them all the time. Now I just make them when I have nothing better to do. Like today. So, I'll be posting a link to it in here as soon as I finish uploading the pictures.
     
    But, one more thing. I'm gonna let YOU name it! Yup, that's right. I'm gonna post a picture in here, and I want you guys to tell me a suitable name for it.
     
    If you wanna start now, the thing look like a big gorilla.
     
    Update: Here is the picture. Supply some names, please?

    ♥ Ask Taki #1 ♥

    By Tak-E,

    So, this is the first week of Ask ♥TAKi♥! I got a lot of questions, so I'll answer them, and then I'll be adding them to the new content block, along with my answers.
     

     

     
    Yes, it is quite enough, I think. I'll answer these in order.
     
    1) A long time ago, back in 2001, I used to do farm-related things with a group called 4-H. Some of our friends there were close to my older sister Kitty, who was involved in the club as well. But one time, our friend who was about 14 at the time came over, and he had Lewa and Onua. And he was showing them off. and I took the masks off, and he got mad, because he was like, "Those are really hard to put back on!" But I just snapped it back in place. And from that point, I wanted to try and get more Bionicles than him (which I succeeded in doing ). But I haven't seen him in years. I merely collect and follow the story because I like it.
     
    2) 2001, pretty much just read answer 1 again.
     
    3) I got into Code Lyoko when I randomly saw the ending of a few episodes of the show, and then one time caught a full episode (this was back in season one, mind you). And I managed to catch a marathon of it, and I thought it was the coolest show ever. And then, the season one finale aired in the marathon, and I totally thought that was the end of the show, and I was so sad I cried! So when I found out that wasn't the end of it, of course I was hooked. Lol. So, it was the summer of 2004, considering that the show started in the fall of the year before I got into it.
     
    4) I origianlly discovered BZP in 2004, I'd say right about when the 2005 set images surfaced. I had been linked there from BIONICLE.com. Lol. I joined twice. The first time, it never went through, so I got tired. But then I saw that there were cool discussions going on, and I wanted to be a part of them, so I rejoined again in 2005, and I've been here ever since.
     
    5) Now, that's a hard question. I do like the new Bionicle sets, I won't deny it. But I dislike them somewhat. I mean, what makes me like a set 100% is when I see it, not have a clue what the storyline around it is, and I immediately fall in love with it. And I haven't had that feeling since the Piraka and Toa Inika. To me, that was truly the last "great" year of Bionicle (because it was the last real year of carefree childhood I had before becoming a teenager). So, I think the sets are pretty good, but not like the sets of old (2001, 2002, 2003, and 2006). However, I love the storyline. Even if I stopped buying the sets finally, I'll always follow Bionicle's storyline. It's just hypnotic in a way that draws you in like no other. It's unique, special, crafted with care. I love the direction it's taken, since I like things where I can be involved, and be proud to have knowledge from the story's past so I can bring it into play when needed.
     
    6) So, to the alien question. I am from another planet. However, not Krypton. I am not powered by our yellow sun, and my arch-nemesis is not a bald businessman. I actually have a whole day-dream that, to this very moment, is a story in progress about a planet called Train, and its evil version Moldar. And there are these little crystals and all this cool stuff...*voice fades away to the shadows*
     
    7) Favorite TV show is tied between a few, but I'd go for Chuck, currently. If not that, then Supernatural, Smallville, Reaper, The O.C., That 70s Show, Boy Meets World, or Code Lyoko
     
    8) I don't really have a favorite book, but it might by The Messenger, by Lowis Lowry (sp?).
     

     
    1) I'ms doings fines. How's ares yous? (Couldn't resist. Tee hee.)
    2) I have hearts in my name for the most amazing and unbelievable reason in the entire known universe: I like hearts.
    3) I actually put them there. Same like I put in here the ♫'s and this bowtie: ►◄
     

     
    If I had the chance, I'd like to be a Reference Keeper. Mostly because I envy TLH, and he's one of my best friends, but also because I think I'd like to earn my way up the ranks, not just cheat into one of the positions.
     
    Well, that's all for this week's edition of Ask ♥TAKi♥! Send in your questions for next week. But not just about me, I'll help with your personal issues that you wouldn't mind having mentioned in my blog. Remember, all identities will remain Anonymous unless you don't want it to be Anonymous. That's my promise to you.
     
    Send 'em in!

    ♥ Ask Taki! ♥

    By Tak-E,

    So, I'm officially starting my new color for a while. I still have to memorize the code, but I have it saved in various places, so I'll learn it fast.
     
    In the meantime, however, Turakii gave me a great idea. And so, today is the start of a new and interesting blog thing.
     

     
    This is the first installment of Ask ♥TAKi♥! Basically I'm starting an advice column that I'll update weekly. Anyone and everyone is invited to ask for help or for my thoughts on certain things in their lives or just in general. Of course, many people may not want other members to know who it is that's asking the questions. So here are the rules for submitting content and how Ask ♥TAKi♥ will work.
     
    1) PM me your questions. Title the message Ask TAKi, or something close to that.
     
    2) I'll take all questions and post a reply in a weekly blog entry. Then, that week's questions will be put into the Ask ♥TAKi♥ content block that will be created.
     
    3) All questions will be quoted as from Anonymous, unless you state you want your name mentioned. Or if you want a cool name, like Confuzzled Man. Lol. Let me know.
     
    4) Questions must be proper for BZPower. If they aren't, then I won't answer them. If they're way too obscene or explicit for BZP, I might have to report you, and I don't wanna have to do that.
     
    5) I do answer MOST questions. If I don't have the answers or help you're looking for, I'm sorry. But one of my best subjects is relationship help. My friends tell me that I should really be a romance counselor when I grow up.
     
    Okay, you guys got it? The first questions will be posted on Saturday or Friday, not sure. Depends if I get a lot.
     
    Send 'em in!

    So I woke this morning at 6:15, as usual, and run down to look outside.
     
    No snow.
     
    So I go to look at the TV stations to see if my school will be closed.
     
    I don't see it.
     
    So I go check the website that tells if my school is closed.
     
    School's closed.
     
    At this point, I run around my house screaming that my mom can go back to bed.
     
    Ironic, no?
     
    But there's still no snow. I mean, it snowed an inch last night, but there was nothing on the ground. I was so confused.
     
    So I go back to sleep, and I'm dozing on and off for a bit, but then I finally fell back into slumber.
     
    Now, my sister, her name's Kitty, she's sick, so she actually drove home and started throwing up in the toilet, which woke me up. Lol.
     
    So it's 8:40, and I sit up, and look out the window (which is right next to my bed).
     
    I CANNOT SEE FIVE YARDS PAST MY HOUSE!
     
    Snow is falling so hard and so fast, I literally am snow bound right now.
     
    I'm so happy! Lol.
     
    So I'll be around all day today, drop me a message.
     
    Oh, also, Turakii suggested a new idea for my blog. It'll be made an entry later. B)
     
    -Taki
     
    Edit: Also, how's this color? I'm thinking of switching to it for at least a few weeks. I've decided that every so often, I'll just completely change colors for a little while. Like I did during Christmas.

    ♥ 3 A.m. Is A No No ♥

    By Tak-E,

    So last night I stayed up till 3 in the morning. Not a bright idea on a school day. Lol.
     
    So I discovered that a friend from school is a member on BZP. That was a cool revelation.
     
    And speaking of school, tomorrow might be a snow day. We're expecting 10-16 in. of snow by me tonight!
     
    Any ideas how I could make this blog more desirable to read? Lol.
     
    -Taki
  15. Tak-E
    Well, I've been thinking over it quite a bit, and I think it's time to change things up from my pink color scheme to maybe like a deep sky blue.
     
    Any objections? I understand that there are some people who have come to know me solely by the pink posts. Lol.

    So I was at youth group last night, and there's this table on the back. It has a wooden frame and glass in the middle. I've jumped on this thing, slammed this thing, picked it up and thrown it down; nothing's ever happened.
     
    Anyway, so my friends wanted to have a staring contest, so I moved out of the way and just placed my hand on the middle of the table for support, and...
     
    IT SHATTERED!
     
    Yeah, and I fell through. I got a bit of glass in me. But I'm okay now. Lol.
     
    You can congratulate me on my accomplishment if you wish.

    ♥ Tee Hee ♥

    By Tak-E,

    So I walk into church, expecting everyone to be upstairs and sitting down, but I open the door and everyone's down by the door. The room is dark, but the windows let enough light in. The power went out two seconds before we walked in. It was hilarious. And my friend and I usually record the message our pastor gives, but because there was no power, we just sat down. Then, as the message starts, the power goes back on! So my friend dashed to the computer and set it up. Tee hee. Silly power outages in the -30 degree weather.

    Exactly one month ago today, my sister, one of my best friends and favorite people in my life, came back in from college in Arizona. I live in Illinois, really far away from Arizona. I was so happy to see her.
     
    Today, I stood outside as tears streaked down my face, paving a road for more to follow. My sister left to go back to Arizona.
     
    I won't see her for six months.
     
    She's my best friend, I trust her with anything. Sure, we fight. But we're only four years apart, and now that we're both older, we've become closer. And I miss her.
     
    I wish she would stay.

    So, just my plan for tomorrow. I'll be going to the Museum of Science and Industry at 9 A.M. (it's an hour drive) to meet up with my favorite little cousins, and two aunts and two uncles. My dad, my two sisters, and I are going. Then, coming home at 3 P.M. (so I'll be home by 4 P.M.) and then get ready for the dance tomorrow. Lol. I'm sorta looking forward to it. Not a ton, but it'll be fun, I know that much.
     
    I've been offline lately because of homework till 10 every night. It's been so obnoxious. I can't describe how annoying the first week back from break is. Lol. But it was spirit week, so it was fun.
     
    Ttfn. Ta ta for now.

    Lol. Best and funniest answer to that question gets an award. I'm so tired. I started back at school today with Andi my stuffed animal bear (yes I do actually carry a stuffed bear from class to class) It's spirit week. Today was homecoming re-run day (from two years ago). So our whole school was filled with country-folk. Lol. Tomorrow's hunting day. I don't know whether I should wear my camo pants or be a ninja (they hunt people...). I'm hoping to make a big hit. But I'm really looking forward to Friday, Spirit Day. I get to spray my hair blue and spazz out at school. And then the day after that is the Sock Hop dance. I'm looking forward to that. I discovered that the girl I like, well, she likes me back, but she's not allowed to date. So we're just going with a couple of our friends. It'll be fun. Lol. Thad (our vice-principal) is gonna teach us how to dance to the music. It'll be...interesting. We're all way excited. Apparently about 300 of the 500 high school kids are going (that's a lot for a school event). Usually we get very few, but it's only our school's third dance ever, so I think people are very excited.

    ♥ It's Beautiful ♥

    By Tak-E,

    Hiyah! It's ♥TAKi♥ here with the weather report. Outside right now, It's nice and warm at about 60 degrees. Most snow has melted from the ground, and people are walking around in shorts.
     
    Wait a minute....
     
    No, this isn't another one of those majorly off weather reports. It's actually that warm over here. We had two feet of snow, and it just melted all yesterday. It's so beautiful. After church, my friend Steve and my friend Val (two of the six kids my age at my church) were just walking up and down the street in the hot weather. It's so beautiful.

    ♥ Beddy Bye Time! ♥

    By Tak-E,

    It's just about time for me to hit the sack and register about six solid hours of sleep (still operating on winter break time ). So, I thought I'd give you a song.
     
    So long, farewell, until we meet again!
    I think, you'll like, the small killer pen!
    It'll eat you in your sleep and then you'll wake up and you'll be terrified and scream, "♥TAKi♥!" And then you'll run over to my house and start beating me up with a bendy straw!
     
    O_O
     
    Yeah, I'm confused too...
