    Games, Life, Stuff

    By Noxryn,

    idk if i'll ever regularly update this blog but here's an update:
     
    - preordered Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and excited for it to come tomorrow (my friend already has his own copy, though he lives in Australia and it released there)
     
    - preordered Dragon Age: Inquisition and my sister already has her copy of the game (she did digital download), and i'm waiting for my own copy to come in the mail 'cuz i like having the physical box and stuff (and it saves some space on my ps4's harddrive).
     
    - playing Warlords of Draenor in World of Warcraft and having a lot of fun with the new expansion; really made me dig orcs and find their stories interesting. kinda started following the Draenor politics between the clans/Iron Horde and then started to read the orc quests on current day Azeroth to see where the story diverged with their allegiances and how the Iron Horde change will affect them (since some became demon cults, which might not be the case when most of the orcs in the expansion didn't drink the demon blood so curious about it). plus i mean -technically- there's two Burning Legions and two Sargerases now, and im kinda curious if Blizzard will do anything with that or stick to the "not even dealing with time doubles" position.
     
    that's just it for games though
     
    for other stuff it's mostly been like
     
    - counseling, which is going well and i've been given numerous resources for what i need (mostly trans resources, like the address for the Gender Identity Center and some run downs of their programs, like, apparently, they have a sort of mentor program where someone from their organization will go to stores with you and help you find clothes in your size and stuff so you don't have to do it alone... i like the idea and maybe ill make use of it sometime down the line, but with my social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder it's not really easy for me to do that).
     
    - went to a trans discussion group today in the glbt center of my university, after seeing some of their transgender remembrance ceremony (which i didn't attend in full since i get really emotional really easily and didn't want to end up in tears), but after i was able to look at some books and someone from their group took a couple pictures of me which i didnt mind (they asked permission and stuff). but everyone there seemed pretty nice, i didn't say a word even when the group went 1hr over time due to my anxiety problems (i stutter heavily, or blank, or kinda cant' physically move my lips -- it's sort of a mess).
     
    - one of my professors said my writing's incredible and is giving me a lot of leeway with page numbers (as in i dont have to write a 3-4 page paper so long as i can cover everything, be it less than 3-4 pages or longer). it kinda means something since she's also one of the English professors and works in the English department alongside the Women and Gender studies programs, and teaches some of the higher level English courses at the university. idk, it felt nice to be complimented (and tbh all my papers submitted in my comp II course rarely come back with much more than a "you used a comma splice here" or "you used a passive voice here" and it's usually only one or two of those per paper, if that (rest is usually sections underlined with compliments, which still kinda surprises me).
     
    - next semester i want to take a creative writing course, since that would actually really help me with what i want to do by the end of next year (apply for an internship). mostly, Blizzard Entertainment (the people who made World of Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, Starcraft, etc...) have an internship program for college students every year, as in the deadline's December to apply and you need in depth knowledge of WoW's lore (thus my playing it and reading books), on top of a portfolio of creative works to submit (which is why im not applying this year, since i haven't done a lot of creative works i'm proud of since most of them were impulse writing). kinda starting with my creative short story for my final project in my Women and Gender studies course.
     
    - thinking to minor in Women and Gender studies and major in English (probably still an emphasis on education? in case i can't get a creative writing job it'd be nice to be able to fall back on the teaching idea).

    The Following Day.

    By Noxryn,

    Ah today, much less things happened than yesterday. However I have two tests tomorrow, one on a bunch of explorers in early American History (I really want world history, or some class on mythology however) with questions with where they went, what year, and who they worked for.
     
    Math as well, I'm more confident in my math abilities as I've been doing better in that class.
     
    I am still seperated from all MoCing parts which is really starting to get to me, I miss being able to create my little creations and put them up in places.
     
    A Scar Night RPG may possibly be underway, POSSIBLY not DEFINANTLY.
     
    Alright with that out of the way, I snuck around and got my book back from parent confiscation (Been staying up too late reading recently, and my parental guardian would like it if I rested, however I don't anyway as I just can't...)
     
    I am no longer going to go to Brickcon, originally I was going to go, but then I had the choice of attending next years BFair instead. Of course after much thought and such I decided to go to BFair because some staffers here I would love to meet got to BFair and not Bcon.
     
    I will do something to stand out.. probably a large nametag saying I AM SPINK. with a white hat with SPINK on it in large black letters, maybe red letters (red light travels faster) so people know that I am Spink and not some random walker arounder.
     
    I am looking forward to 09 and I really cannot wait for it to arrive.

    Add Entry

    By Noxryn,

    I added an entry. Amazing isn't it? How you can simply update these things by the click of a few buttons, and the typing of a few words.
     
    Oh yeah, I ordered a Gundam. Cuz they looked too cool XP

    I Don't Get It.

    By Noxryn,

    I don't get why people tend to think I'm a girl... okay I admit that back with the pink text/loli thing that Wrack dragged me into it was acceptable...
     
    But...
     
    The thing is... that I've nearly changed everything, and I don't have a replacement avatar as of yet, and my gender here is set to "Male" the blue color... and... normally people are thought to be considered a "guy" on sites like BZP unless the name states otherwise. My name sucks and is something a ten year old would come up with...
     
    This was brought to my attention very recently. When I looked back on it that is; so I posted in a topic about this as it was pertaining to the topic. Then I looked back on it and I'm like "Woah... that many people thought I was a girl? And still do? What the heck." and then the post right after mine didn't help. *headdesks*
     
    So far the only reason I have to this strange mix up is "Magic" and yet that is my answer to all questions...
     
     
    It's just weird, that's all... and I felt like killing time so I blogged about it...

    Random Thoughts

    By Noxryn,

    You know, I wish I could change the name of my blog...
     
    Earlier today I just had to read the Federation of Fear as I had not done so recently and quite frankly I think that this particular Serial is pure awesomeness. I like the rag-tag team of enemies and villains who are on a quest to do good. My two favorie parts so far is when Vezon said "Lover of gardening" along with a longer sentence before that to Brutaka. I also loved it when they were going to sell poor Roody to the ship owner on Stelt.
     
    My two favorite characters would be Brutaka and Makuta Spiriah (I believe that's his name) Those two are very fun characters to read about with Brutaka's coolness to every thing that happens and Spiriah's paranoid statements and feelings.
     
    Thats about it on FOF, but now we can look at Mutran's blog.
     
    I like the Mutran Blog, the history of the Makuta, and the League of six Kingdoms. I never would have known that the Makuta simply created Rahi for the Universe, and that interested me quite a bit. I still like hearing how the Makuta evolved and their thoughts on the subject.
     
    I found it pretty cool when Mutran went to see Tren-Krom and then help Teridax on his rulership campaign. I have reread that part about twice now.
     
    (Not on the subject of the Serial/Blog):
     
    Now reading these inspire me to write my own stories (which I have done and are in the SS section of BZP), but the problem is that people read it, but they don't put any input on it. If it was good I would like to know that so I can keep doing what I have been doing, and if it's bad I would like to know why so I can improve.
     
    *sigh* well members have the choice to or not to post and I won't force anything on them its just I would like to know if people like my works and if I should keep doing them.
     
    I won't be able to attend any events that are around (unless they are close to Houston TX) so most of you won't see me in person.
     
    I know absolutely nothing about the upcoming BIONICLE movie, so would somebody be so kind to tell me where it takes place?
     
    Thats all for tonight/morning

    Sports

    By Noxryn,

    They're all so boring.
     
    Baseball has no excitement, and it's so slow. I get people like it and stuff, but it's like, why must it become the center of every conversation... and how one earth do people have the attention span to watch it? The only part of it I can understand is seeing it in person, because at least then it seems more interesting... and there's all those little shops and foodplaces to go whenever you get bored watching people run around in circles.
     
    Soccer (or football/futbol)... it's a game that can go on for hours and end with a 1 - 1 tie. Need I say more? .-.
     
    Football (American) is at least more visually interesting, like, there's stuff happening and people are running into each other. And there's more incentive to watch this than the above two whenever my father is all "sports channel," though maybe I don't get it because I can't comprehend the rules. Or maybe I don't get it because I have no attachment to any specific state/city to the point where I have any pride in it... while a lot of fans of this game seem to have enough pride to fight over this game. (Plus it's the centerpiece of every conversation at school... and the conversations are just boring... and when I say "every conversation" I mean that. Could be talking about artwork, or writing, or anime, or manga, or something and someone will be all "how about that football game last night?" it's this or baseball pending on the time of year).
     
    And then there's NASCAR. They're just turning left the whole time... and going in a circle. Make them drive at 100 MPH+ through a maze of fire... or something... you know... entertaining.
     
    Hockey's fans are more entertaining than the game (in a good way). At least the inebriated ones dancing to the song being played, up and down the aisle and are actually getting the attention of the entire place.
     
    Any sports not included are the ones I don't hear about every waking moment.
     
    But it's like... when people say they get really annoyed with those who obsess over things they don't particularly care for, and stuff it into every single conversation and hail it as the most amazing thing to ever bless our little existence... that's how I feel with these sports.

    Oh Disney

    By Noxryn,

    I'm just sitting here listening to various Disney songs from like, all the movies.
     
    And I so want to watch the Little Mermaid right now... that is like... one of the most nostalgic movies for me~ *even though Ursula made me cry when I was like five :,D*
     
    Plus, I mean
     
    Prince Eric.

    Day Ovar

    By Noxryn,

    I saw The Mummy, I liked the special effects, but it was just too fast and quick paced, it wasn't that bad though. I got a new SS idea from it, and one of the previews ^^
     
    Then I had to wait for my little sister and my dad to finish with their movie. Twenty minutes sitting in a lobby trying to entertain yourself for that long sux. I think some people thought I was plotting something 'cause they looked at me weeeeiiiirrrd and then I cursed myself for not bringing something to do.
     
    I ended up reading everything in the room....ugh.

    Fan Writings and Stuff

    By Noxryn,

    I've been writing a thing because of the new Bionicle 2015 stuff, though since there's not a ton of information and junk out I messed up here and there by giving Pohatu a mask power (I think I more or less edited it out, I don't think it's implied the character has it, either). Also being fairly liberal with personalities and stuff, for now.
     
    Anyway, I like what I have so far. It's not a grand story, just sort of a little practice thing, but it's fun writing a female Kopaka and a nonbinary Pohatu. Guess it's just easier for me to relate to them as characters? But the main cast could probably use some more diversity anyway, plus it's a little fun to write a tall, broad shouldered female character since there aren't a ton of them (and I do relate a bit more to the character).
     
    Still feel like Kopaka/Pohatu should be a thing. Always.

    Fun New Games

    By Noxryn,

    Recently I had purchased a game called MASS EFFECT. It is rated M for good reasons and has been banned from Singapore for a certain scene in the game.
     
    I like this game and I thought that it was a blast to play. I like the fact that you can practically do what you want and that it isn't completely scripted like other games out there. (Yes I like RPG games)
     
    My favorite Race is the Quarians, then the Turians, and then the Asari. Those are my top three out of several other races which are there (including human).
     
    Nihlus is a Turian Spectre (Special Tactica and Reconissance) and on the first mission on Eden Prime he gets shot in the back by a rouge Turian spectre named Saren. The point of the game is to bring down Saren before he finds the Conduit. The Conduit is a control panel which the reapers would use in order to get to the citadel and begin ending the reign of Organic life.
     
    Saren is the main Bad guy and he is the biggest threat throughout the game and is trying to bring back the reapers which is a bad thing. He had allied himself with the Geth which are rouge AI units the the Quarians made to serve them, the Quarians plan failed as the AI Geth rebelled and kicked them off of their home world.
     
    Commander Sheperd:
     
    Commander sheperd is the main good guy through the game. You can make him/her look anyway you want him/her to be. You can pick whatever class you want and through the game you can level up and stuff.
     
    There are several other characters that you meet through the game and you have to pick who dies at one point (either Kaiden or Ashley).
     
    I would rate this game a 10/10 just because I find it a fun experience to play and even at the frustrating parts I never actually got irate or anything, which is a good thing.
     
    I wonder how many people on BZP like MASS EFFECT...
