G'day Yall, I have been pondering this for quite some time. What do those masks mean? I, myself have a Vahi and have seen people have other ones. Does it relate to your rank or is it just random? Thank you for time. - Ivan

Working retail, I interact with a lot of people. More than I'd care to on a daily basis. And people, as a whole, seem to like to talk a lot. Again, more than I'd care to let my ears hear. So, the less words said the better, right? One thing that I really can not stand is the phrase "you know" when describing something. It's as bad as "like," "um," and "uh," when it comes to filler. Something involuntary to cause a pause when your brain can't quite put the right words in order in conversation. Whenever a customer (or even someone closer actually conversing) injects "you know" into their sentence when going into detail on something to better help me understand, my immediate thought is, "No, I don't know, that's why you're telling me." I'm not perfect either, but it's a habit I've broken pretty well. I've even winced when I said it recently. I just need a super-villain weapon that changes the brain waves of everyone across the world to be more precise with their language! -CF

Funny how many customers who I've never met assume I'm asking about their well-being and reply, "I'm good," when I'm merely saying "good morning" to them as they come into the bookstore. And by golly the amount of snark I repress could fill a swimming pool. (Or a book...hehe.) And no, we're not going out of business. (And even if we were, what are you going to do about it?) -CF

If I call you by your username, it means I love you. Or I don't like your real name. Or your username is cooler. Or easier to say. Or I might call you by your real name too. Like if I've known you for a while. Or just feel like saying it for a change. Or I know you prefer me doing so. But sometimes I just don't care. To me, a username transcends a person's identity. It becomes them. To me, I am ChocolateFrogs, a person, not someone named after a Harry Potter candy, but the term has changed meaning to be my name. Other names-- Sisen, Disky, Nukaya, Arpy-- are just as unique as a name given at birth, but instead is also one chosen by the bearer to be them. I know some people don't like being called their username in public, which is totally fine, but it doesn't change that it is part of their identity now. Of course, that's just my personal view. Maybe you look at me and think I'm crazy for choosing a name after the Harry Potter-verse. Maybe you would much prefer to call people by their real name, because it is perfect and also them. But when I'm out having fun, I have fun with your names too. And that is something we all share. -CF

Before I start I must say this is my original story. I am not going to copy stories. CHAPTER ONE : Dawn of the Dumb or Jaller and Hewkii's Zombie Daze Part 1 Characters:Axel /Nova: Represents me in this story. He was in-trusted with the Omega key which can bring Bionicles to life and turn him into a ToaToa Matoro: the scientist of the group.Toa Lhikan: Perhaps Lhikan is the bravest of the bunch.Kiina: try not to mention aliens or act stupid in front of her or face the wrath of the nagging beast.Nokama: Acts like a mom to the two matoran Hewkii and Jaller.Hewkii: Jaller's sidekickJaller: a Ta-matoran who wants to leave all the timeIcarax: a really crazy inventor who won't stop annoying everyoneOnua Nuva : my first bionicle.Narrator: One beautiful morning in Florida Jaller and Hewkii are talking under Axel's beach house. I should probably go see what they're doingJaller: Are you sure this "THING" Icarax gave you won't kill us Hewkii?Hewkii: I am confident that it won't. Quit your worrying man.Narrator: What are you two doing under here?*Jaller hides the device*Jaller: Nothing.*At that moment a bottle spilled above the device causing it to hit the matoran and the narrator*In Axel's room*Axel: Has anyone seen Jaller and his pal Hewkii today?All: No, why?Axel: Just wondering. *thinking: I wonder where the Narrator went*Matoro: Come on lets go watch some T.V. I wonder if Ancient Ali-* stopped by everyone*Lhikan: Don't say aliens. remember what happens if you say that in front of Kiina.*Flashback of the main group and other bionicles watching an episode of Ancient Aliens*Kiina: Aliens are real and I know it!!! Whooo YEAAH ALIENS!!!Everyone else: Make it stop!!!* End flashback*Axel: Lets watch the Bionicle movies.Most: Sounds like a plan.Kiina: Aw man. *one marathon later*Onua Nuva:That was great. Weren't we supposed to be searching for somebody? Oh no! We forgot to look for Jaller and Hewkii!Nokama: You guys need to find them NOW!! *zombified Matoran burst in the window*Axel: That's it I just got that window fixed after the Toa Ignika Incident. May he rest in peace. *switches to his toa form Nova (more details later)* Nova: LETS DO THIS! Fire punch!Jaller: Meh *scratches Nova's wrist Zombifying him*Lhikan: That's it nobody turns my friends into zombies on my watch! * attacks with volleys of fire knocking jaller unconscious *Matoro: I'll put an end to this *uses mask of reanimation on Jaller, Nova, and Hewkii* at least it worked on one of them. *freezes Jaller and Hewkii who was walking into the wall repeatedly.*Zombified Narrator: And so trfg duck wrt end of part one. Brains.Onua (hiding behind Matoro): Take him he's the smartest.So ends part one.Sorry if its to short.Anyways the Narrator has become a zombie so his speaking will be messed up for now.As for Axel /Toa Nova he was selected as the guardian of the omega key and transformed into a Toa of space and fire that as a moc is bigger then the Toa Mata Nui set. he is red, silver, and Obsidian with a Silver mask of life.As for the Toa Ignika incident don't ask.

(Apparently, I'm slightly crazy according to someone speaking to me while I was typing this? I don't believe that one bit. I would only call myself crazy in a sad attempt to be cool.) Apparently, I have the ability to be good at Mathematics and English (or so I'm told). Except I'm not because I hate both Mathematics and English, and as such I choose to neglect and be unaware of those (non-existent) abilities. As such, I do not even care what grade I get in my GCSEs for either of them. That's right, I don't even care. Because I truly believe those abilities do not exist and are fabrications made up by my teachers in a poor attempt to motivate me. If they say that I should be getting a good grade in a test (a test of knowledge and skill that is supposed to prepare us for GCSE exams) and shove that in my face I will intentionally do poorly in a test in an attempt to spite them. If I unintentionally do well and the teacher of whatever class it may be and hands it back to us for us to self-mark using a mark scheme and the teacher, I have been known to mark every single answer to a question wrong even if it was right. In fact, I did this in maths last week. Unfortunately (for me), the teacher as far as I know has decided to mark it herself sometime. Other times, when a teacher has marked a test and gives it back to us, I will subtly change a few marks from 'good' to 'wrong/bad' and change my overall grade on it to a lower one that I deserve rather than one way too high for my liking. I just wish that my Maths/English teachers would get it into their heads that I am nowhere near good in English or Maths and that I deserve no higher than a D grade. So many incorrect grades... they've even wrongfully estimated a B for Maths GCSE result. I'll need to change that to a D somehow. I only managed to correct my estimated English grade, but not by much. At first it was borderline A/B and now it's a C. I'm not good at Maths or English but at least now I'm actually attempting to correct what teachers think my ability is in Maths and my ability in English, rather than a completely wrong estimate. Unneeded TL;DR: I hate Maths and English and I attempt to get bad grades in them because I am bad at them rather than good grades, which teachers wrongfully give me. THE USUAL QUESTIONS: 1. Is there any subject in School that you absolutely hate? 2. Is your ability in it good or bad? 3. Do you even care about it?
