(in no particular order) As for my favorite creations that I've built myself from 2010: If you have any favorites of my builds, feel free to point them out.

So I'm finally putting my money towards something useful. I have about $110 so far, and I'll probably get more for christmas. So I was thinking I should actually save up and get something really nice for myself. So, Here's the deal: Option #1 - A Macbook Pro laptop computer. I love Mac computers, and mine (as awesome as it is) is a bit old and half dead. The Macbooks have more power than the iMac I have now, and with a bunch of new programs (I could use iMovie again. This computer can't handle it anymore). Also, Garageband would run alot faster, and I could make my album better. Plus it would be a laptop, so I could take it places and not be locked in my room while the day slips away. I'd sell my current computer too, hopefully getting about $300-$500 for it. Option #2 - A bass Guitar. And not just any bass guitar, THIS bass guitar. It's a BC Rich WMD 5-string Widow Bass. It's not a very common model, but all the reviews I've read have been 100% positive. Only thing one person said was that it was neck-heavy, but that can be fixed by adjusting the strap placement. I'm not a bass player, but I've been having an indescribably urge to learn. And it can't be too different from guitar. Besides, you gotta' start somewhere. I'd need an amp too, but I don't really know what passes as an acceptable amp in the bass world. So this thing costs $700 (with a custom-fitted case) on ebay, plus maybe $150 for an amp. I could sell my fender stratocaster for probably $1000-$1500, so that's all good. But my dad thinks I should go for the computer, I really want both, my sister says they're both stupid, and my mom says "maybe you'll know when the time comes" which is uber helpful. Although, if I got top price for my computer, my strat, and my strat knock-off, I could maybe afford both. I dunno. Any thoughts from you guys?

I waited for a while, but I didn't see any sparkly vampires. Gosh darnit! My arms are tired of hefting this shotgun. Off to bed for me. ~EW~

At what point in the wee-morning hours does "staying up late" become "being up early?" ~EW~

Best. Movie. EVER. I love the plot, and the special effects were really cool. The equipment they use is really awesome (I mean, they use LIGHT CYCLES!). The music was good. Daft Punk did a really good job. I also like how they had a cameo in the movie. I highly recommend watching Tron. It will be worth the time.

Well, today, December 16th, 2010, marks my six-year anniversary on this odd site. Get a Faxon spinny now. And I'm still not at 2000 posts. XD

I heard there was going to be a Crush 40 version, but the only videos I can find of it are 30 second previews. Anybody know when the full thing will be released?

The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader
Fenrai posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_1705
I really liked the movie. The plot was kind of confusing, but it made sense near the end. Eustace was very funny at the beginning. His fail-ness makes him win. And personally, I like having Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace in the movie as opposed to Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. -
Just got back from watching HP7. I had mixed expectations beforehand, having read a few negative reviews and such, but it turned out to be really good. I thought it was pretty close to the book, though a few details were lost. Such as: Where did harry get the mirror shard from? In the movies, Sirius never gave him the mirrors. Why did the locket choke harry? I, of course, know why, but it was unexplained in the movie. However, despite these little mistakes, I really enjoyed it. The part where Ron destroys the locket was my favourite part; it was just done so well, and was almost 100% book-accurate. I was disappointed that they skipped over Harry's birthday, but oh well. It was funny when Hermione was worries they'd missed it. Anyway, can't wait for the second part; Gringotts should be epic, and so many people die... Not that I like death, but it'll be interesting to see howthey pull 'em all off. They skipped Wormtail's death, which surprised me.

Been playing it recently, some of the maps can get a bit big, 5 solar systems, 130 planets, 10 players, it could take days to finish.

And that's how the world began...and that's how the world will end. Unsurprisingly, I didn't ask her out. I didn't even try. I've decided that it's time to give up...as incredibly sweet, cute, funny, and lovable as she is, I can't bring myself to ask her out. She never responds to text messages (something I do kind of understand). But she also never talks to me unless she needs to ask something band-related, and she never makes eye contact. I actually turned around one time tonight and caught her eye - she looked away almost immediately. I don't know what to think, but the impression she's given me is that of disinterest, and I think I need to assume that's what she's trying to say. So I think it's time to give in and give up. After all, maybe I'll have the chance to get to know her better sometime, and if I ask her out and she rejects me now, I'll never have the chance to ask her again. If there's really something I find so incredibly attractive about her, it'll still be there a few months..or a year..from now. In the meantime - I suppose I continue on miserable. It's not like it's such a huge change from the norm, anyway. If I asked her out, I would be crushed. If she said yes, I would be elated. If I don't do anything, I can continue on with the comfort of a familiar feeling. I'd still love to know when it was that I lost that leg, though.

November 1st! NaNoWriMo time! And I'm so completely braindead and tired and sick and ugh. BUT I'M GOING TO TRY SO HARD TO WIN THIS YEAR! Good news I trick-or-treated for the first time in my life tonight; it was fun and yay candy. Maybe that will help me a bit. <3 It's so weird for me to finally return to Tachi and Komas...but I hope I have a blast! Good luck to you guys as well! ...so see y'all in December? :'D LETS DO THIS THANG

can someone please remind me how it is to sleep? That thing where you close your eyes and don't have really bad nightmares or body aches? I am so dadgumed tired. Even when I'm not worried about college, those health issues keep me from falling into the right REM sleep. You guys. Don't take sleeping for granted. I remember a few weeks back I slept normally and it was the most wonderful thing ever. Do you guys seriously do that almost every night? The term 'taking for granted' has been on my mind a lot. I've bumped into a lot of people who just complain or think their life is horrible. I usually hate it when people say "it could be worse" (because you don't want to think about how much worse could this be), but the basic premise is true. I'm a hypocrite, but sometimes I just cringe when I see people like that. It's selfish. It's selfish because you're all busy with yourself when you could be helping someone in a worse circumstance; and along the way it could solve your problem as well. Learning over the years, 'problems' vary from person and location. One bad grade for a kid is no big deal; for the other it's traumatizing because this means she'll lose her scholarship. You hate school. Well, at least you can go--so many kids out there will never get a proper education, and many will work beyond their ability to get one. I could go down the list, but it can be vise-versa. We're all different people, we handle things differently. A break-up might seem silly to over-worry about in high school, but for that girl or guy who is beyond lonely and they think that's their only option to get rid of it--it is. Whether the intention is good or bad, it's always good to take a step back and view it. What qualifies your life to be bad? Did your little sister break a LEGO set of yours? Hate eating carrots? You got in a fight with your parent? Bad teacher? Sometimes those things are placed in front of us for a reason. Maybe to help you learn patience, understanding, or just how stupid people are and it’s not worth getting frustrated with. Instead whining, go out there and try to solve it. Do something, don’t just sit there. Find a person who has it worse than you and learn from them, or try to even help then. One amazing remedy to your own bitterness is being selfless. Trust me, it works. Not just helping others to feel good...when you get to that point when you help someone, and later realize that it made you feel good, you've come a long way. No, you're not running away from your problem, you're facing it. Don't bottle up your emotions either. If you need help, go get it! There are always options to solve things, no matter how grim your life may be. Find a few friends to talk to and get opinions from them about your dilemma. Getting different views can help more than you know. You may have a terrible dilemma and it takes years to solve, but in the end it will make you stronger, and more knowledgeable to help others with the same issue. For the ‘smaller’ ones, you’ll open your eyes more, see what’s really important. You should feel blessed that you didn’t experience what you thought you were experiencing. In a way, a problem or your own ignorance is a blessing. Nothing is wrong with having a pity-party or just being grouchy about some silly problem. But watch out…are you doing it because you really need that attention, or you want it because it makes you feel important? Don’t lie to others or yourself. There's this balance, and I really hope more people find it. I swear it isn’t that complicated, I’m just giving you a hard time with my rambling. Maybe some of this requires practice. I sure did. We’re human. We got the bad in us, but we also have the good in us to counter it as well. Trying is better than doing nothing and moping. Compassion, tolerance, and love are really important in times like this. We need to go out there more. While our world is expanding, we're also becoming more isolated in our gadgets, our worlds, our problems. Not only is that bad, but it makes us extremely closed-minded and many will never even conceive it. I'm not trying to make people guilty, or complain about complainers, I'm sorry. But someone needs to talk about it, yah know? This is more. I've seen so many people hurt through this confusing mess on both sides and I just want it to stop. So, the moral of the story is I need some chocolate and to go to bed.

SO EXCITED. Why can't it come sooner? I might just end up being a NaNo rebel... I asked before, asking again. Who's joining me in this madness, even if you're not aiming for 50k? I'm hoping to get some things done; the arts/writing is only the few things that keeps me from falling apart these days (even though I don't do enough). Like last year, I'll make a list of all the BZPers! Is anyone also on the website? (I'm almost certain B6 said we could talk about it as long as we don't link it...sorry if I misunderstood) I'd love to know about y'alls ideas and stalk your word count. I just wanted to bother everyone with this, I'm trying to get my mind off other things. NANOWRIMO YAY! the crazy folk joining me in this!

Tired. Guilty. Paranoid. Depressed. Same old same old same old same.. I firmly believe that nothing ever changes, and everything repeats itself. Because this feels all too familiar. And two weeks from now, when she says no...I don't know how I'm going to deal with the miserable next three months. Which will inevitably happen. And there is simply nothing I can do that will make it otherwise. Entry Song: Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths

Marching band is essentially over. At some point over this season, I decided I liked it. Or that I wanted to give it a fair chance next year. And I think I'm gonna miss it, actually. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights... The big problem is that this cuts me off from the girl I like, more or less. I need to really start talking to her as much as I can. Maybe start sitting with her at lunch...since she seems to not text all that much, I gotta find some way to keep talking to her if I wanna have a chance.. So anyway, our last competition was last Saturday. I didn't really talk to her much before prelims...a little after. But that's still better than I usually do when it comes to talking to girls I like. And the fact that she's just as shy and soft-spoken around people she's not familiar with as I am - it's kinda difficult. But finals - we won grand champion overall. Everyone went insane and ran onto the field. And she just ran up to me and jumped on me and hugged me. It was nice.. I don't really know what to think. She's kinda giving me mixed signals, I guess. Don't know what to make of anything anymore.. Entry Song: On Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz

Haven't really made any progress...if anything, I've been talking to her less, which sucks. I think the problem is that she has an annoying habit for almost never remembering to bring her phone anywhere. So if I wanna talk to her, I gotta happen to text her at home...I need to just start hanging out with her a bit. it'd be much easier. She's so fun to talk to.. Also, sorry to everyone who's had pending trades for...probably a month now. -.- I'm desperately trying to not be lazy and get this all figured out. As soon as I do, I'm taking the trades down for now...I'll restart it in the spring, maybe. Might not even be a good time then...I'll figure it out. --- Entry Song: Untitled #1 by Sigur Rós

New season started last night. It was Dog Myths Part 2, with Beat the Bloodhound (Part 2) and Beat the Sniffer Dog. In the end, though, the Mythbusters just couldn't beat the canines and their handlers. B) Next week: Apparently, they're doing tornado myths again, and calling in the Stormchasers from the Discovery Channel show to help them out. =D

I only have 25GB of free space on my computer. -.- I think the big problem is the 106.06GBs of TV shows that I can't bring myself to delete... External hard drive time! -- Due to the fact that I had to put my curly...afro thing up in four pigtails on Friday to fit it in the marching band hat, I cut my hair short. I like it a lot better, actually. Every girl I've talked to said it looks cute, and that's all that matters to me. I had one dude who said I look like Shia LaBeouf. Which I guess is pretty cool..I'll put up a picture if anyone actually cares.
