This has got to be the slowest-loading thread ever.  No wonder I stopped coming into this thread.

Anywho, here's the

heartbeat of a water bug

.  The insect had just molted and you can see its beating heart through its exoskeleton.

It must have been a TARDIS.  Someone from the Saber Battalion came in to see for himself and indeed, the booth was bigger on the inside.  And time had absolutely no meaning there.  I'd go in for an hour shift, then look at the schedule and see that I could have left a half-hour ago.

Name it the Quick Boomerang! 

Done and done!    I'll be repairing the grips on the handles tomorrow.  Right now, it's drying in my stairwell.

Anyone have a time machine handy? I think I'm stuck in the past again.

Nope.  Had one at Celebration 6, though.  I swear, time and space had no meaning in the Wookieepedia booth, and it was bigger on the inside.

So, someone leaves a Razor scooter in the woods for a week.  Tonight, I decided to claim it for my own.  Whoever left it in the woods for a week better not [sonic slicer].  If you want the scooter, you don't leave it in the woods for a week.

I learned that there's a store in Palmyra that sells zombie survival gear.

Does stripping Barbie dolls when I used to have them count?

Yes.

.... I don't know whether to go "TMI" to that or inquire about what figures you strip. >3>

Like 12" GI Joes.  Figures like that.  Fully-posable and clothed.  My brother and I have a few 12" GI Joes that we've stripped and switched clothes and made costumes for...  Along with 12" Star Wars figures that we've stripped, switched clothes and made costumes for...  We especially like stripping the non-human figures.

I wonder how many other people like to strip 12" figures...

Indeed.  You just need a monocle to complete the ensemble.

Welcome back Borock!

As for dA... I plan to go back there and make a new account, but for professional purposes only.

Thankfully, my stormtrooper mug hasn't hit the floor... yet.  I keep it relatively out of harm's way.

A Sonic mug?  Awesome. 

Anywho... a while back, I had acquired a book of graph paper.  My original intent for it was for dungeon mapping, but since I've been beta-testing a dungeon mapper program, I've thought about dabbling in pixel art.

Since you do pixel art, what mediums are best for use on standard graph paper?

I learned that my brother still hasn't quite grown out of that "let's strip our 12" GI Joes!" phase.  Thankfully, Zuckuss kept his robe on this time.

At Celebration 6, I had bought a loose 12" Zuckuss figure.  My brother finally saw the figure.  His thoughts?

"Let's strip him!"

I'd be happy to achieve even that.  But now, I need to wait until I'm simply exhausted in order to sleep.

Can't sleep, period.

And where the [tornado fang] is my package?!    The estimated delivery date is all wrong.  As usual.

Time to go do a bunch of exercise and exhaust myself enough so I can (hopefully) sleep...

If Gettysburg had comic stores, I'd have somewhere to hang out.  Though, I have gotten a lead on an RPG group, so I'm gonna brush up on my DnD, sculpt some more miniatures, and see if I can join.

Every time Horrorfind rolls into town, the nerds come out of hiding.  Yay, Horrorfind!

I suggested to Troy Adlers of Lucasfilm that Gettysburg could be a possible venue for a Star Wars Celebration.  Civil War, Galactic Civil War, it's perfect!  And he agreed!   Here's hoping that some day they decide "Hey, you know where a good venue for Celebration [whatever number we're up to now] would be?  Gettysburg."

On that note, I'd be thrilled to find some furries around here.  Hell, nerds of any kind.  But, they all hide.

I find it easier to connect with people online than I do in real life.  Go figure.

In real life, I'm rather aloof.  I'm sociable when I need to be, but for the most part, I keep to myself.  Do I get lonely?  Sometimes.  There are times that I wish I had friends around with whom I can hang out with.  Most of the time, though... I'm fine.  Even in college, I was happiest when I didn't have roommates.  It's because I learned to live with myself and be happy by myself.  I live by myself now and I'm quite happy.  Bored because I need a job, but still rather content.

I don't shy away from relationships because they're "all bad" or "everyone's a dick."  Granted, past experience plays a part in that, but it's not the main reason.  My biggest problem now?  I'm a nerd surrounded by non-nerds.  A bit hard to connect with people when you have to explain what Star Wars is.
