Loki dropped by this afternoon. And we had one heck of a time . As always we drove head to head with Burnout Revenge, and things got seriously hot. One race was finished with me winning with a 00.00.02 lead while our cars traded paint xD. There were lots of explosions, crashes and an equal amount of laughs. And at the end we both felt light headed xD. Bwah, best arcade racer ever! If you haven't tried yet, you seriously missed something special. Reinstalled Most Wanted as well. It was the because of the OST I got a while ago, and some good memories. And it's still fun, but I hope I don't get bored again with it. The only really cool thing are the chases really. Loki seemed interested in it. He had dloaded the demo already, but now he can get the whole thing. Obligatory mention of Boundless: Opening Word to undraft the ending scene of Naomi's first real piece. -|IXI

I have returned! ... Actually, I've been back since yesterday at approximately four in the afternoon, but I didn't feel like blogging then. Overall it was an okay weekend (encompassing Thursday and Friday) ... We stayed at a bed-and-breakfast next to a lake, which was a really cool place – there was forest all around the lake, and we had a pier and boat we could use. We didn't use the latter much; the only people who did were Sonya and Josh when they went out to play cards in the middle of the lake. Of the bed and breakfast, I only liked the breakfast. The room we had was damp, the beds creaked more than I thought was possible, and they weren't comfortable anyway. The breakfast was great, though. I had muffins of both English and normal variety with strawberries and milk. Yum. So, the itinerary as promised. :: Thursday :: We got there somewhere late in the afternoon to find my mom's friends Pam and Adam, their daughter Sonya, and her friend Josh already there. Sonya says that she remembers me and that she and Pam visited us when she was eight or something, which would have made me three. Which would be why I don't remember her. Aside from my dad, the seven of us have exactly the same sense of humor, which meant that there was more or less a laugh per minute. We discovered that the boat included an old coffee can for bailing out when we went down to it, which was useful because the bottom was full of rainwater. The evening's entertainment was different for each half of us – Sonya, Josh, and Adam saw The Night of the Iguana; Pam, my mom, and I went to Jacob's Pillow Dance to watch two pieces by the Shen Wei Dance Arts group. They were awesome. But hard to describe. The first one was a series of "Maps", as they were called, each of which centered on a different movement, like rotation or bouncing. It's something you have to actually watch to understand properly ... The second had only four dancers on a mandala made of flecks of paper, which they danced across to the singing of a Tibetan nun. It was also great, though very different ... :: Friday :: A great day, despite the fact that I barely got any sleep the previous night. (The fault of those dreadful beds.) We went to a crafts fair in the morning, which was interesting but not riveting. I got a pair of tall blue candles that piqued my interest. After a late picnic lunch, we went to see Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor. It was hilarious. With a Shakespeare comedy, you can only get so much humor out of reading the script, if you can find any. Text-wise, Shakespeare's comedies (that I've read, at least) differ from tragedies mostly in that nobody dies and there's a happy ending. I haven't actually read The Merry Wives of Windsor, but this production was utterly hilarious. And my mom's watched videos of performances of it (she taught a course on music in Shakespeare last year), but none of them compared to this one. Mistress Page and Mistress Ford kept pulling scripts out of their boddesses and dresses and reading loudly off of them as Falstaff hid in the closet; the two of them communicated by wild hand signs behind his back; Mistress Ford looked appropriately hysterical and distressed (and screamed loudly) throughout the play; Mistress Ford rammed the laundry basket handle into Falstaff's stomach and then scampered to the other side of the stage saying "Oopsie!"; Ford (disguised as Brook) twitched as Falstaff ranted about him; Ford and his companions frequently appeared all over the set while chasing Falstaff ... And then when Ford emptied the laundry basket the second time, he tossed the laundry into the audience. And when Falstaff was hiding from Ford and company (disguised as the old woman), he took the place of a woman in the front row and had her sit in his lap. I know I'm repeating myself, but it — was — hilarious. The acting company was brilliant. That evening, we went to Tanglewood (and dined on the lawn ... meaning that we sat on it, not ate it), where we heard Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D and his Violin Concerto No. 2 in E, three arias from Handel's Ariodante, and Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks. It was really cold by the time it was done, though ... After which there were fireworks. Awesome fireworks. Probably the best I've seen, but also probably the first I've really seen up close, which may have something to do with it. Pam, Josh, and Sonya were in the car because they were cold, and they said that the noise set off a lot of car alarms ... They were really loud. :: Saturday :: We spent most of the day at the Hancock Shaker Village, which wasn't that interesting for me ... So you'll pardon me if I don't go into details. Later, however, we went to a French restaurant (aptly named Rouge), which was excellent. Actually, we were at an outdoor table in the back, but in the front street (and nearby streets), they were having a Zucchini Festival. Why is beyond me. You would have to ask them. This included band performances (though I heard no references to zucchini in the lyrics), which disrupted our dinner until the explosion. Maybe bang is a better word for it. Either way, none of us (nor the waitress whom we asked) had the faintest idea what it was, but it did stop the music for a little. But, as there was only one scream, no sirens, and a general lack of people fleeing in the opposite direction, we assumed it was nothing significant. The dinner itself was excellent. A lot of our party had duck, which tasted great but was very rich (I had some, of course), though I had chicken myself. Which was excellent. I had something labelled Gateau Chocolat for dessert, which didn't resemble a gateau au chocolat in the slightest beyond taste. But it was chocolate and also great (which is sort of redundant), so who cares? That evening we went to see a new play, a political satire ... which I didn't like. I'm not really one for political stuff, so it wasn't exactly something I was clamoring to see, and it would have made the BZP rules faint anyway ... :: Sunday :: ... was mostly spent returning here. Very little to be said, really. I was so happy to be back in a nice, non-damp house. And my own bed. I slept very well last night. *hugs his pillow* In other news, expect a new chapter of The Roodaka Affair soon. I've finally finished Chapter 4, but I want to revise the ending somewhat. Whee! – ToM

There's this mall that's being built near where I live and it opens in October. Their having this "Job Fair" where you can pick up pamphlets, application forms, etc. and choose where you want to work at the mall. I was going to apply to work in Sharper Image and when they saw me, the seemed excited that I was going to apply. (My mom said it was my look. ) Unfortunately, the manager said they were looking for someone 18 or older. I'm 16. I might make sure if I actually can't apply tomorrow. the application form doesn't say you have to be 18. Hopefully they'll change their mind. After that, I came up to a Starbucks booth, and the guy there seemed excited to meet me too. Apparently have this techno guy coffee house thing going on. So I got an application form for that too. Even though I hate coffee, I'm still considering it. I also got an application form for the Malco theater that'll be there, but I'm not as excited about that. The guy behind the counter (most likely the manager) seemed... inexplicably strange. But I still think it'll be fun to work at a theater. Free movies! (possibly) Well, I'll see what happens. Tomorrow's the last day of the "Fair," so, that's when I need to turn in the forms. I really want to work at Sharper Image! ,4^

So last Friday my friend Anna calls me up and tells me we are going on a road trip. We gather our group and head over to Hampton Beach in New Hampshire. I am not much of a beach person but I did like the area, boardwalk mainly. Me with Anna: David, Me, James: Nina, David, Anna, Me: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm: I also picked up some goodies, but those shall be posted in my next entry. -Omi

I been experiancing some memory loss recently. Probably because of some stress, maybe its the lack of sleep, or perhaps in the medication I been on. Anyways I been totally tripping and spacing out and just forgetting what is going on around me. It is really weird. -Omi

Welcome back, like what I've done to the place? I thought so. Read on. Today is room-entry day. I've promised a while ago to show you how my room now looks. But I had to resize about... a lot of pics. And everyone with a bit of Photo-editing knowledge knows that resizing is probably one of the most boring things ever. Plus I'm very lazy... Anyhow. Let's divide it in three parts: Before, During and After. Before It all started out with this. It looks small on pics, it's actually waaay bigger. Here we have my ex-closet. And the corner where my bed stands. Which will be replaced soon as well. One of the unique characteristics of my room are the custom shelves. Which had a lot of stuff on them. Notice the 'had'. During Moving on to the During period. Most of the stuff was moved out in this pic. The closet had been demolished as well, and ritually burned shortly afterwards. The small white... furniture... -thingy behind my bed in this pic was sent in the eternal flames of Hades as well. And here we have a small part of all my stuff which had been moved to my parents' room. After a good hour, half of my room looked like this, this and this. For once the ice-tea wasn't already there when we started, but it actually came from the fridge downstairs. My bed had been moved as well. It took us well over three hours to get my room look like this. Then it was putting all my stuff back, building up my new closet and moving everything back. And After all that it looked like the following 7 pictures. Click Slick Lick Mick Another -ick word Blah kcilC. That concludes the room thingy. ====================================== Err... what else? Ah yes, our COT Shop The Teahouse is run by Loki and yours truly. Go there for all your off topic banner and av needs! Second episode of Boundless is also on its way. And it should be done by tomorrow. The first part of the OST will be included as well That is all for now. -|IXI

Got an email from my friend in Hong Kong. Was very disappointed that wasn't coming this summer. Why? Cuz we have the wildest best parties ever! So I told him I may come back next year. -Omi

This afternoon my family and I visited some sort of cavern. It was cool see all those strange rock formations. And there were may ancient fossils of ocean creatures. That was cool. The tour wasn't what I expected. Our guide was a girl who was probably between 14 and 15 years old. It was a very small, almost run-down place. We were expecting something a little more arousing. But it's a privately owned cavern, so... Anyway, on our way there there was a sun shower. But not any normal sun shower. This one poured and poured while it was still sunny! That was totally refreshing, since our car's AC is broken. Then the rain stopped before we got there. On our way home however, it was completely cloudy and poured even harder! I think it's still raining. In other news... My website got totally "pimp'd!" I completely changed the layout and added some CSS features I've recently learned. Go check it out! ,4^

You probably guessed it by looking at the title. My room has gone orange, very orange. I have pics of it, but right now I'm not in the mood for resizing/uploading/posting them. So that might go into tomorrow's entry. Well come to think of it, it's not entirely done, I still have a closet to build. Everything should be logged tomorrow. I've gotten rid of a lot of old stuff as well, which means I have so much room now that it looks kinda empty... Two extremes, I know. Well that concludes everything that happened today, I think. I feel obliged to tell you that I have finished a draft version of the last scene of the Second Boundless Episode. Though I'm only half through, 4 pages. I'm also going to rename it. It was Rebirth, but now that I'm further into it, I think it has to be something more... fitting. Titles like "Entity", "Dark Ship" and "Ghost" have crossed my mind. And that should be somewhat of a hint... Well, g'day everyone. -|IXI

Well, as promised, I've updated the content blocks: there's now a header (to the extent that there can be one) and banners for each category. I like how they turned out ... pretty much exactly how I wanted them, but tweaking or an overhaul for some occasion (or lack thereof) are an eventuality. I also added a Recommended Blogs section – go read them. And for the record, I had this all planned before you posted your challenge, Omi. However, that isn't the only new look around here, hence the plural in the title. I got my braces off yesterday, and I would be elated had I not subsequently gotten retainers of both the upper and lower variety. If you haven't had braces and consequently may not know what a retainer is, consider yourself lucky. My lower retainer is a wire cemented to the back of my front six teeth, which results in an awkward and scratchy bulge that irritates my tongue. It's actually very small, but it feels huge. Its purpose is to keep my teeth in place so they don't naturally spread outward again, and will be removed when my orthodontist judges that it can be without the consequences it is designed to avoid. Even if you haven't had braces, you've probably seen an upper retainer – it fits into the top of one's mouth and holds a wire running around the outisde of the front teeth. Same purpose, different means, and it can be taken out to eat. The lower one keeps getting in the way of my tongue... I'm getting used to it (the upper) being there, but it's still hard to talk properly and the newly smooth plastic roof of my mouth incessantly intrigues my tongue. And I have to suppress my gag reflex every time I put it in, or at least for the moment. What fun. But at least I don't have braces any more. Yay! Now, go and enjoy the saplings I've planted to guide you through here and be happy if you don't have braces/retainers. – ToM

Current mood: REALLY Tired Currently doing: Uhhh Currently listening to: K-Love Radio Goodness I am SO TIRED. I was supposed to get up at 7 to get ready for church, but slept late and now its almost 8. >< I be mighty glad when I can have a good long nap. Well, my stress is over I think. Beside me being a little tired and still twitchy about that art project... I am SO CLOSE to finishing that picture...Just a little more detail and coloring. And I have to fix one thing, I am having TERRIBLE trouble on. I should finish it by today, and then mom/dad can help me send it and stuff. On a note about my trip, I might leave on Monday instead of Tuesday. See, my dads leaving a day earily for the meeting by himself, and I think it would be nice to give him some company. Not only that but it wouldn't be crowded and I could have the whole back truck to myself. The only problem with that, I would have to finish my picture today, pack-up, buy some last minute things, and need to print out some stuff about art. I WILL work on requests during the vacation for you guys. So....Don't expect me to be very active today, or if any for the week. Love ya guys! I leave with this quote..... ______________________________________ Jack Sparrow: Perfect. What would my torment be without freaky crabs here to mock me? [Continued] Jack Sparrow: I'm talking to a crab. (Reminder guys, this is from the draft script)

Turns out I got Hewkii and Hahli! I thought I had enough for the rest, but I didn't. So I got Hewkii and Hahli! (I already said that.) They're awesome! I can't wait to get Nuparu and Jaller! My sister and I were reinacting scenes from Power Play and listening to songs to see who could sing what in each song! (For a band.) *sees Jaller singing lead vocals in Hawk Nelson's "Hello"* I'm so glad I got them! What with Hewkii's original color scheme and chain, and Hahli's "faded jeans," They're awesome! ,4^

It's Wednesday, and Wednesday is when we usually go grocery shopping. I don't usually go, but I went to see if Wal-Mart had any Inika. I was particularly after Hewkii. Our whole family ended up going, except my dad. He was at work. And once we get there, we stop at McDonald's for lunch. My sisters got happy meals, and I must say, the toy they got is pretty cool for a happy meal toy. They got a PotC Pirate journal thing. I saw the image of the toys they have. I like that that Jack Sparrow plushy! Anyway, we start the shopping, but first I go check out the Bionicle stuff. My sister came with me, and when I got there, I almost overlooked them. Those canisters are huge! I'd say they're about the size of the Nui Rama box! As you probably saw in the Hahli review, the canisters are 9" tall (aprox. 18cm), and the width is the same as the width of a CD case. Well, all they had was Kongu and Matoro. No Hewkii. So I got both Kongu and Matoro. They also had V&F, and Axxon, and I had enough money for all of them, but I thought it wiser to wait a little longer. After I put them in our cart I remembered that I needed clothes. I literally only had two pairs of pants that fit, and of all the shirts I have, Only a few are appropriate for summer, and I was getting tired of repetitively wearing them. So I asked if I could get some clothes, and my mom was all "Oh yes, definitely, you need more cloths. Go pick some and you can try them on." So I chose a bunch of clothes I liked, and tried them on. This one pair of jeans I liked was too small, and they didn't have any more, and two shirts we ended up not getting. And there was this pair of tan urban pants I liked, but my mom didn't like them, so I couldn't get them. But I did get a similar pair, though it was black camo. They're awesome. After that we did actual grocery shopping. I'm so glad I got Kongu and Matoro. They're better than I expected! Below are some pictures I took. Kongu Matoro Strike a Pose Matoro using his Iden ,4^

Finally! The past few months have been totally hot, between 75-106° F. Well, the entire sky is a flat white color now and everything is wet. At first I'm like, "FNALLY!" *runs outside with excitement, only to find it's still hot and now totally humid.* Hopfuly it will be cooler by the time I go out tonight. My family and I are going to the mall, Barnes & Noble and Toy's R Us. Mostly to just go out, because we've been cooped up in our house for so long. And I have to pick up a book I ordered at Barnes & Noble. (Not to mention I want to wear my new clothes out somewhere. ) While we're at TRU, I plan to get the rest of the Inika. Though I might just get Hewkii and Hahli. We'll see. ,4^

Yeah, I had a great time with Valenti, again xD. It's always a good time with the dude. Went out checking stuff out in town, usual music/games/movies and we went over a, short, stroll over the market Well it's closet time in a few minutes, going to pick up CDs as well, so I can FINALLY burn some of my latest music. Which is... a lot. I have to think of playlists. And I hate doing that, because I always want too many cool songs on one CD. Blegh, guess I'll have to make two... four xD. You couldn't have missed my latest update of sig and av. Av is back to the good ol' Anime styled Rikku (Final Fantasy X, and one of my fave gamecharacters of all times). Sig is back in full 250x100 glory with Hyo-ri Lee. And the word music in Hangul (Korean). Why do I think I already posted that here? Major deja-vú. Hm, what else to say in this completely incoherent entry? Ah yes, work has continued on the second Episode of Boundless. It's bound to be better than the first one. More on that later... -|IXI

Current mood: Pretty well, has a slight headache Currently doing: About to go do chores Currently listening to: Hawk Nelson: Letters to the President ______________________________________ SO YEAH...*Thinks of something to say* Our sis came to visit us for about a week as some of you know, so today we went shopping. (So exciting!) I was getting a little bored with the clothes...But thankfully, mom bought me a new CD as you see up there...And I had some extra dollors, so spent it up on a Pirates button. Great little thing. *Pats happily* So hopefully tommorow when they go shopping, we can go to Target and Wal-Mart, as I really would like to buy the Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Soundtrack. ^^ Oh yeah, I have no art to update, whooot! Nikira and I are like lazy all the time. On another good note, I finally found a good name for my MP3 Player: Hector ______________________________________ Pintel: Pintel and Ragetti! Kraken slayers! Ragetti: Kraken slayers! [Continues] Ragetti: Pintel! I…I just had a thought. Pintel: What's that like? Ragetti: I bet folk would pay a shilling to see this! They would. And a second shilling for a sketch of ‘em sitting atop! Pintel: We could carve mini true Krakens out of coconut and sell those, too! Ragetti: We'd be rich, and wouldn't have to pirate no more. Pintel: Aye! And I could afford to buy you a real fake glass eye, like I always wanted to.

I just got back together with my ex Ashley. -Omi

Current mood: Tired Currently doing: Nothing at the moment Currently listening to: PotC Soundtrack (again) ______________________________________ *Falls asleep on keyboard* So...tired. Well, my sister made it safe and sound here last night. Great to see her since I haven't seen Rebecca in over a year. She got me this pretty necklace and a nice bracelet. And she'll be staying for a week I believe. We went to church, and my friend and I that day were strangely hyped up () and could not settle down. So we decided to go see if we could go help in children’s church, which thankfully we went and if not, the parents would have had a problem. When we got there, somehow whoever was supposed to teach was not at church or something just got confusing. So Laur and I took over and stuff, read a lesson, did a little craft, got some snacks and let them play. It was pretty easy, but two young boys would just NOT settle down, they were running around like crazy. But besides that no harm done. And then we went out to on this special occasion since my sis is here. Went to a Mexican place...Really nice food, and then here I am. Stuffed, tired and...mmh yes that’s about it. Well I went to check about the voting polls, and I am ahead again. Though dear Jedi Gali could just easily catch up, which I wouldn't mind as her story is just amazing. But I am very excited about all this; I would be so pleased if I could get passed the Semi's. Also, once again I have gone on that terrible habit of not replying and PM'ing people. I am sorry about that, once again remember I am not ignoring you, it’s just because I have been to busy to reply and I sometimes forget to reply when I do have the time. About the scanner....STILL hasn’t been plugged up yet, but I will get around to it, because I know all of you are impatient 'bout that. Art Project getting closer to be done! Almost all the inking is complete, and soon to color...Though I am sad because I have noticed some Ink mistakes. ;_; Oh well. ______________________ (Guess what this is from? ) Barbossa: All right! Only I knows the route home. Jack Sparrow: That would make you - - the navigator. Barbossa: Captain. Jack Sparrow: Cook? Barbossa: Captain. Jack Sparrow: Cockswain? Will: Enough, Jack is rightfully Captain of his ship. All decisions subject to my approval, understood? Jack Sparrow: As Captain, I am pleased to name as First Mate Master Barbossa. Will: Agreed? Barbossa: I can deal with First Mate. It worked out fine for me late time. MAY 25TH IT COMES OUT MATES!

So I got home from Capital Ex (a huge fair) at about 8:30 last night. It had reached over 37 degrees celcius that day! Then, I sorta sat around here for a bit, and disappeared into the world of Xbox Live for several hours, dealing with some racist, obnoxious, sore losers. It was fun, eh MJ? Otherwise, I got up early today to go to work. I was tired from going to bed at 4 again and getting up at 10, yet again. Then, I show up at work, and find out someone screwed up on the schedule and now I get to stay home! Anywho, not much else to rant about, and I don't want to bore yah, so until next time, see yah! (To the few of you who actually read this...) -CJ

Yeaaaaaaah. I just got a Motorola PEBL. It is so pimpin! I can use it as a modem for the internet, make my own ringtones (no more paying $2.99 for one), and also customize my own images! So now whenever I get a call from Black Six, Dane Cook will be yelling at me. -Omi

I woke up today 'bout noonish, and within five minutes I had rolled out of the bed, hopped into my chair, and came here. Gah, I believe this has become a routine! Anyways, my friend finally came back to BZP, after much convincing from me, and will be playing as my brother, Kaldun, in Dr. Bionicle's The Academy. But I guess Korruhn will be fighting Phobos now, then getting carried away to the lab. So whatever you need to get done with him, I suggest you do it soon. Anyways, second day of Jack*** resulted in two twisted ankles and a sprained knee. And the spray-painting of the Little Tikes wagon with racing stripes and Team Jester everywhere. Hmm... wonder where that came from.... Anyways, my friend is falling back asleep, so I guess I'd better go and play some more Xbox Live, and watch out for falling speakers and sluggish internet. And thank you to Hahligirl56 for being the first Commenter! That will be remembered! And I guess, this is it until tomorrow, fellow bloggers. So see yah! -CJ

Thats right, as the title says, Brickfest is cancelled. Reasons being is cuz there is too much pie falling from the skies. And yes everything I just said is a load of bull. Anyways I just got my hat today in the mail!!!!!!! -Omi

I saw Cars yesterday! It was hilarious! I might be able to see it again once my family gets back from Pennsylvania. Today's my last day at my grandparents. I'm going home this afternoon! There's nothing like the comfort of your own home. I can't wait to go home, because there's not much to do here. I've pretty much been listening to my iPod, sketching stuff and reading. ,4^

Current mood: Happy and in good hopes Currently doing: Writing and Drawing Currently listening to: Pirates of the Caribbean Soundtrack ________________ VBS is almost over! *Dances* And my sister Rebbecca should be here tommorow around nighttime, I am so excited to see her! My friend Laur came over to my house after church last night. (She had no one close by her to take her home, so she would just spend the night at our house) We stayed up mostly looking up stuff on Pirates I, II, and III, and found some VERY interesting stuff. For example of we finding Barbossa's first name. Its so funny and totally does not suite him, no wonder everyone just calls him by his last name! But strangly, how bad it is for a pirate, its still a good 'one. Or we reading part of the draft script for Pirates III. Sadly of course(Ok it isn't sad), Laur has noticed my begining interest into Barbossa, now she says my fad over General Grievous is over, and Barbossa is my new one..... I am a fangirl to the weirdest guys. ___________ I also have finally gotten back into my writing faze, just started up on an Indiana Jones and PotC fanfic, and working on a few others that I haven't worked on in forever, and just got an idea for a good original story. Yay for the glory of writing. Ok, off to go work on that HUGE project. About to ink!
