Laptop Problems Temporarily Solved
Auserv: Toa-Kal of Emotion posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_1004
My dad just hooked up the bottom half of my laptop to the monitor of the computer I used before I got my laptop, just two years ago... Now I've got all my files back, at least, though we're not exactly sure if this is healthy for my laptop or not, so I still won't be on as much. But at least now my stories can be updated. And now I can write... What a relief. I thought I would die. Very strange right now, typing on half of my laptop and seeing the letters come up on a very old, comparatively poor-quality monitor... And all the circuits of my laptop are exposed. Can't let anything metal touch the circuit, or it'll mess stuff up. It's a very uncomfortable state, and yet for the next few days, it will be the only state that I can write in. I'll have to suffer for to do what I love, while some people get paid to do it. (At least, people who follow Confucius's advice do: "The one who gets a job doing something he loves never works a day in his life." Or something to that effect.) How ironic. And strangely inspiring. Well, I'm off to write Chapter 19 of To Be A Hero and Chapter 4 of The Comedy-Makers... And perhaps a short story as well... -
Well, that was my feeble attempt at using an attention getter as a blog entry title, but due to my current lack of entries, I have a question for you... What is the actual name for a Black Hole?

Ack... My laptop's hinge broke somehow, and so the top part became very loose and practically unuseable. My dad, who is knowlegable about laptops and computers and whatnot took a look at it. He has determined I'm going to need a totally new hinge, which will have to be ordered off of the Internet and will thus take several days to get here. With any luck we'll be able to hook up the bottom part of my laptop to a separate monitor until the parts come, but if we don't I'll be limited to infrequent Internet use on the laptop my dad his indefinitely borrowed from the place where he works. "How does this affect me?" you wonder? "Why should I care?" you say? Well, I'll tell you. First off, if you read my epic, blog or comedy, you can basically expect late or no updates until this problem is solved, which could take around a week--at least. And if anyone PMs me, give me a while to reply. I won't have constant access to BZP for a while. I'm sorry for any inconveniences this causes. I'll tell you when the problem is fixed.

Blogishnessinging Helpingishness Neededishnessing
EmperorWhenua posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_398
Recently I have been lacking in blog stuff... I guess it is all just the same old stuff or just too dark to post (I do not like spreading worries with others who have enough already, and neither do I feel great when I say the same thing over and over). So, I have decided to post this... I have been considering making a few things. But I need your help now that I cannot decide just what to do. The choices are as follows: 1. A blogishness epic of Darth Tedious, meant as an interloper in the current struggle between Survurlode and the new "hero" Squirming Skeleton bonesiii. 2. Essays. You gotta love them. 3. [empty] (just name it, really) So... that's it right now... ~EW~ -
A few questions for anyone reading. Religious discussion removed. 2: apparently I haven't said this well enough anywhere else, but: Ok, do I wait and hope for her to return, I never had a relationship with her other than friendship, or do I move on? Though I do think to move on soon since I believe my duty to be to the present instead of praying about the past and future; her return and other things I can't state. Any good advice; move on or keep praying, etc.? ~L

Today I went to an airport with my mom and brother to pick up my aunt who's here from South Carolina. I've always liked airports, because of escalators and those escalator-like things that move on the ground forward. And all the skywalks and whatnot. It all reminds me of Metroid game, sometimes at least. I've been on an airplane before, but only once when I was really young--so long ago I don't remember. But at least I go to airports frequently enough to be able to enjoy them. I'm bored... I guess I'll go resume trying to finish my epic. There's no way I'm going to finish it before it starts being posted. I have seven chapters to go and only four days to write them all. So... talk to you all later, and such.
-
Yeah, that's right. I've got six chapters up of my epic; Makono Darkness, and I'd like for you to read it. I'm very happy with it, and I know that if you read it, you'll want to check back as much as you can because you liked it so much. Also, if you read it, I'd like any feedback you have about it. That can be put here, in my blog, or in the Review topic (a link is at the beginning of the story itself). Thanks!

I want to give an important announcement! I am a noob. And you are too for reading this. ~EW~

Nothing good to say tonight. I tried to do a speed run on Metroid Fusion, and while I failed horribly at beating the game in under an hour, I just barely got under three hours and thus got the second best ending (well, really the only difference in the ending is the little picture you see after beating the game). I also went to my brother's friend's house, where we played Super Smash Bros. Melee and some badminton. My brother and his friend against me, and quite sadly I was winning for the most part. I've just about finished Chapter 17, but I didn't get to work on it much today because I was playing Metroid Fusion on and off for several hours (getting game over multiple times made the time I played Metroid Fusion more than 3 hours). I'll finish it tomorrow. I'm going to my grandma's house for Thanksgiving, because my cousin is coming here from North Carolina (that's a several-hour drive from where I live). My aunt was supposed to come for Thanksgiving from South Carolina, so she got plane tickets (she doesn't like driving for long periods of time) to come here the fourth week of November, for $200. Of course, then she realized that Thanksgiving was the third week of November, and when she tried to get tickets for the week of Thanksgiving, they were $700. So she's coming the week after Thanksgiving. Just as good, I guess. And this Friday my friend's sleeping over. We have a system where we'll do a sleepover at his house and then my house, or if, say, he sleeps over at my house twice in a row, he owes me two sleepovers at his house. At the moment, I owe him like 8 sleepovers, so I'm starting to repay my debt. In other words, I'm having a busy week. Thankfully I'm off homeschool all week since in my area the public schooled children are out too. No one's sent me anything for Ask Auserv, so apparently it's not going to happen in December. There's still over a week, though. I've got to go to bed in half an hour, and I have some questions I want to ask Greg before I go to bed, so... that's all, folks!

I didn't think it was real, as I'd only seen it on television shows, but apparently there are real websites that let people purchase stars. That's one of the dumbest, most pointless things I've ever heard. O_O Anyway, if you need gift ideas for my birthday, I'd like a star near Orion.* Entry word: Panicky Example: If you don't wash your dishes properly, you might find the inside of a panicky. *Please don't buy me a star. ©1984-2007 Toaraga EAM

Ugh... I really can't think of anything to do for this blog entry. You see, my cousin Andrew is here, and while we're watching TV, I decided to get in a blog entry. We've been playing various video games and watching TV for the most part. In other news, I've gotten past the hard boss on Metroid Fusion, and I'm now stuck somewhere else, three bosses later. I'm a little farther in Veteran Mode on Metroid Prime 3. My brother is farther ahead of me right now and he's fighting Ridley (a recurring boss in the Metroid series). The sound effects are distracting me. I must catch up... And entertain my cousin... Hopefully tomorrow's entry will be more interesting.

I saw the movie Gabriel today, it was a bit odd, but that wasn't what I found interesting. What interested me was a trailer before the movie. No name was given, but over the past few months, the movie has been nicknamed "clover field". The trailer basically starts in a New York apartment during a going away party for someone name "Rob". Suddenly, a huge screeching, yet deep noise is heard (exactly like the sound the monster makes in LOST). Everyone runs to the roof to see what's happening. Then they flash forward to a news report speaking of something big making strange sounds. Then they flash forward again and the noises are louder and everyone is out in the streets. A huge explosion is seen in the background and the Statue of Liberty's head flies into a building. Everyone is screaming and the trailer ends. If anyone knows anything about "clover field" please tell me, it sounds cool PS: I also got my new furniture and Maxilos

I don't know about you, but in my time zone it is past midnight, meaning I did not get a blog entry in yesterday, technically. There's a reason for this. I was writing a long entry, and then suddenly my internet browser crashed and I lost everything I had written. I was going to tell you all about the frustrating problem I'm having in Metroid Fusion, the game I'm playing at the moment, but with this now, I really don't feel like rewriting it all again. All you really need to know is that I beat a really hard boss and then had to pull off a skillful and dangerous manuever before getting to save or heal. I died and had to fight the boss again. After losing a few more times to the boss, I won again and then died to an enemy on the way to the afore-mentioned maneuver. I fought the boss again, barely won, died to an enemy again, tried to fight the boss again... ad infinitum. So in short, I would've had this entry finished half an hour ago had my browser not crashed right near the end of it. If I hadn't shortened it, I might not have finished till 1:30. At least it's a Friday... I'll do another, longer, more positive entry in the morning. My cousin's coming over, so I have reason to be happy. I'm going to take a break from Fusion for a while too, and focus on SMG for now. That's all for now, I guess. I'm off to find something to do while everyone around me is asleep...

Dad- Friday night he snapped. I mean, not phisicaly snapped, but mentaly. He neraly broke a mirror, tore a wall down, destroyed several vases and such. On a tyrade, so to speak. So, of course, I yearned for some sort of combat (as I am known as a troll of a sort). So, in order to avert from a fight that and in his underwearwould likely end with a lot of red, I was forced to fut my staff away. Dad went all over outside, bearfoot and in his undies, so it was rather chilly for him. But we know that when he does not care about any discomfort, he is not himself, and that was the case at that time. He was not in that way just for a few hours, but he was not himself for a couple days, so we knew it was going to get worse for him. So, the cops were called, they came, did their thing, sent him back in and left, leaving us like confounded fools to take care of him. Later in the morning, mom took him to the PCP, who in turn had him sent to the hospital after he ran like a banshee into the neighboring elementary school (which was in session). I was not there, but from what I hear, the cops restrained him, took him to the hospital, and he has been there since. *sigh* Sorry, I just have to rant about it somewhere. Essays- Yes, yes, they are coming! Lego Star Wars-While my original game seems not to run on Vista properly, the Original Trilogy works like a masterpiece. So, if I am not online here, I am either playing a MMORPG calle Tibia, or playing LSW2: TOT. ~EW~

And you all thought I wasn't going to do an entry today... I plan on doing one every day, if possible. Anyway, today I made a huge amount of accomplishments video game-wise. I will list them here: First of all, and most importantly, my brother and I have beaten the first world in Super Mario Galaxy as of earlier today. Secondly, I've got a DS Lite! My brother's DS broke, so he got a DS Lite, and I wanted one too, and had the money, so... yeah. Thirdly, I beat Metroid Prime Hunters. I witnessed the ending cutscene on a DS Lite, whose graphics are way, way better than the original DS's graphics easily. The final boss was only mildly difficult. But so was the whole game. MP3 was better. Speaking of MP3, I started Veteran mode. In the very beginning, there is a mini-game where you repeatedly shoot training drones and try to keep them in the air. It's incredibly difficult. If you get ten, you get a credit of some sort (gold or red or something; don't care enough to remember), and if you get twenty, you get a friend credit. That's a good thing. Anyway, I spent about 45 minutes, and finally got twenty points in a row. And then I really had no will to continue playing. Tomorrow you can expect one of four entries, depending on what happens to me tomorrow. I might do a MPH review like my MP3 one yesterday, or I might do an entry on DS Lite vs. Original, or I might do an entry on my writer's block. (I can't write more than a paragraph a day... I'm quite stuck...) Or I might do something other than those three entirely. Like something about Galaxy or something. Anyway, now I'm going to bed. Yawn... Good night.

I thought it might be appropriate to start my blog with who I am--on the Internet, in real life, and in my own stories. So... here goes. Auserv, my internet persona, is a Toa of Electricity. (No, he's not a Toa of Lightning, and unlike Nikila in Lesovikk's team, he's not a girl. ) While I've planned out his backstory, I won't reveal all of it in the off chance that someone reads my epics (if you do, please tell me so), but I'll tell you as much as someone whose read my epic would know. He was a Ta-Matoran once, and then someone kidnapped him and experimented on him, changing his element to Electricity. He and five other Matoran escaped to an island called Dyteeli (coincidentally, the sequel to my epic takes place there), and there they became Toa and all but Auserv were killed by the Barraki. Auserv somehow was then turned back into a Ta-Matoran by Mantax and had his memory wiped, and he then escaped to Ayomeii, the setting of my first book. Somehow, he became a Toa of Electricity again there when the Barraki invaded the island. Most recently, he was immersed in the same substance that turned six Bohrok into Bohrok-Kal, making him a Toa-Kal of Emotion (hence my new username). Read my epic for more information. On the Internet, I'm basically Auserv wherever I go. BZP is the only place I'm "Auserv: Toa-Kal of Emotion"; anywhere else I'm "ToaAuserv", with no spaces or anything. That's my username on the Lego Message Boards, which I rarely visit, and on Links to sites with forums are NOT allowed., the Bionicle Wikia wiki. On Links to sites with forums are NOT allowed., I'm a sysop (or admin), and a major editor, which is something I'm proud of, even though no one knows about Links to sites with forums are NOT allowed.. You know, it really has an interesting history, which I may recount as an entry some time. Other than Links to sites with forums are NOT allowed. and BZP, you probably won't see me anywhere else unless you by chance run to me on Nintendo DS wi-fi (I have Mario Kart DS and Metroid Prime Hunters). My name is "Auserv" on those games. In real life, I am an eighth-grade homeschooled student who loves to write (but mostly Bionicle fan fiction). My real name is Peter, in case anyone wanted to know. I had an urge to make a blog, so I drew into my savings, bought Lifetime Premier Membership, and here I am, starting a blog. I've played the piano for almost nine years now, and I create RPGs with RPGMaker 2003, though I've never finished one. Other than Bionicle, I like the Metroid series, and I am patiently awaiting the release of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I own a Wii, a GameCube, a DS, and a few other systems that are hardly ever played... I think I've said enough about me. So now you guys can tell me about you tell me what you think about what I just said. I wonder if anyone will read this blog... I guess I'll find out soon enough.
-
"Ask Auserv?" you wonder. "Is that a comedy?" No, no, surprisingly, it's not. Ask Auserv is a blog feature I'm thinking about doing. Every month (or possibly more frequently if I think it would work out), you guys could PM me questions and I could answer them once a month in a blog entry, like some sort of talk show. If I get enough PMs, which I'm sure I won't, I'll make it more frequent than once a month. Right now, I haven't decided if I'm even going to do it, but that will depend on whether or not someone ends up reading my blog or not. If anyone reads this, please comment so I know whether or not I should bother. In other news, I recently moved my epic's length up quite a good deal--from a planned 20 chapters to 25. I needed more room to finish the story. I know my sig says 73% done, but moving up the amount of planned chapters pushes me down to about 62%. Which is a bad thing, because I need to be done writing and editing by December 2nd, when I plan to post the prologue. I might not get it all written in time, but I know more or less exactly what is going to happen from the point I'm at (I just wrote Chapter 16). That way, if December rolls around and I'm still writing Chapter 20, I'll at least be able to finish while I'm posting Chapters 1-19 so I don't find that it's time to update and I don't have a chapter ready. Anyone have anything to say about that?
