Scxifi. Horror movies aren't scary. Mystery movies are boring. Fantasy movies can get REALLY non-hetero. And scifi is getting less scifi every year... but at least it gives one good ideas of where the future's headed... gives them something to tangibly shoot for.

^^^^Usually the children die after being born (infection, I'd imagine)... but there's at least one man out there who survived it. If I recall right, he has to CONSTANTLY scrub excess skin off, growing at an indescribable rate. His life's a hell of daily inconvenience, but he made it into adulthood at least. I'd post some pics that scare the bejeesus out of me here, but looking at them on my hard drive... they're a bit too gruesomely innapropriate. Anyway, This is actually a guy, who played with photoshop and became an instant internet fad. Shadow person!

Hey, what do you guys think of a North Americam meetu... ::scrolls through topic for American flag icons:: ...eh... never mind. :-|

At first I thought he'd merely built onto some curved railroad tracks. :-D But it's too wide for that. It did produce a pretty sexy result though. Can't deny that.

Energy, yes. But not the same, recordable forms of energy we delve into now, though they can and do interact with the understood forms. It's going to take a looooong time. With any luck, nanite technology will swoop down just in time to extend our lives inorganically, long enough to see it. Doubtful, but oh well. What else is new. They defy known science, but that doesn't warrant a religious approach. To tilt things more in your argument though, there are intelligences which intervene non-stop out of duty and common sense, muddying the fully scientific approach a bit. :-D Further confusion arises from the fact some entities believe in religion and react to it's name. :-| People are people, dead or alive. And yet even more confusion is the source of one's... uh... "will of intent". A religious person thinking he's carrying the shield of god and bellowing, "In the name of jesus christ, I ORDER you to..." blah blah blah... emotion. Heavy intent and emotion. Power. But not everyone creates that power in the name of a diety. Of course, there's strong and weak on both sides of that. A religious person who wavers in his faith is not as effective as a non-religious person with a good head on their shoulders. But a strong religious person with no hidden feelings of intellectual dishonesty hiding inside them would be stronger than an unmotivated non-religious person. Me, I choose the non-religious. As long as you know who you are, know what you want, and know what's considerate & good for you, those around you and those that will come in the future... where would weakness enter? It's the choice of being a searing blade or a butter knife.

I don't think there is more to the story lol. Like I said, the "supernatural" is usually just odd, almost boring and anti-climactic. It's science... just not one understood yet. EVerything is just energy. I think it's being disrespectful to truth when a scientific approach isn't used. Copy and pasted from another site, another time:

Come on. None? I really hope someone lost their job over that interest-decreasing object. :-D

True, but a BIG feature in playability is being able to dynamically pose something. I don't want spinning discs flying off their back, don't want a LAME punching action when I turn a wheel, don't want to pretend my guy's INTENTIONALLY loose-fitting mask got popped off and is now being overtaken by a small piece of rubber... Playability, at least to me anyway, is being able to pose. Why have a figure with ANY ball joints if it's purpose is a figurine with which to execute cheap gimmicks from? Why not just cast it in porcelain and stick it in a glass case with mint-in-box Barbie dolls. : / In a few ways, too. No useless, one-trick-pony gear boxes to launch spinners, no messing with the symmetry of mold to accomodate said launcher. And balls are just more fun (and quick) to launch. The launchers themselves can simply be removed if you think they're wonky... the figure is then left whole and symmetrical, with none of his body parts specifically crafted for it. The launchers themselves gave 3 good building parts... a rubber hose and the connector piece & axle you press on. In comparison, what building parts did the spinners, discs, krana, kraata or other junk give? Not much, and as said, some also had things crafted just for the play feature. Look at the Visorak... they put giant circles embedded in their back then cut a notch out on one side of their faces! Criminal...

Hahahaha, oh MAN do I know what you're describing. I remember when I was single, sometimes I'd get home from work at like 9 in the morning after 10 or 11 hours in "the vault"... and I'd be dead tired beyond words. I'd lay down and start to fall asleep, but then stand up looking around because it was like I ws being pointed in a direction. And as strong as it was, it ws ridiculously frustrating, because after a few minutes of latching on to the emotion, you just go, "I can't do ANYTHING with only THIS!" ...and then having to use effort to ditch the train of thought so you can get back to you. I still get it from time to time, but it's RARE. If you have a high level of patience for walls o' text, some of the stuff I'm talking about (as well as what was JUST talked about) is in this IM from some time around November 2004. The other person is my cousin Kim, known briefly in the Lego world as Hypermecha. (Her gallery here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=HYPERMECHA) She's around 5 years older than me, and often sick. To say there's not a psychic bond, in the cheesiest way of scifi cliche's, would be false. Anyway, http://files.zenixstudios.com/623dim.txt Bad language ahoy.

Good example. There we go. Unfortunate, but expected. Egads no. Yeah, it starts out as fun. Then something drastic happens. You get past it. You learn a bunch of new stuff... but it just keeps going. Every time you learn something new, more questions arise. After a certain point, this stuff is just exhausting. And you have to repeat yourself so often, every time someone new (like you for instance) appears, so the bits and pieces THEY have can be integrated. It's like learning a new language with dozens of different teachers and no definitive textbooks. These days, I just stop talking about it all when my head starts to hurt. I think that's also because I have a short attention span at times and I don't hear as many new things as before. I do find satisfaction in meeting new people who just happen to have identical, specific points that are abstrct enough that they're not just some stupid kid who read it in a book or saw it in a movie. :-P

And you're so much better off for it, I'd say. I use to be the moron that thought certain action figures kept in package actually somehow meant money later on. LOL On top of that, it often seems like some official sets are hollow and "unfinished" likely to reduce cost and to promote mocing. MOCing is where it's at. To-to-to-totally. *sing*

You're not the same as the others though. And she's not the real target. ;-) You've said yourself, you are able to see things others don't. Show me a person like yourself who doesn't inevitably run into something like this eventually. You're not the first person I've bumped into talking about such things. Right. She's the way to you. Though tapping into her still, even after entrance isn't exactly undesirable. She's made drawings of you suffering. Perhaps it's common mental illness, or perhaps she let herself open too far (possibly both). I've encountered people wanting to do me harm, who've given in to things larger than themselves. There's nothing too much more scary than that. (Luckily, such events usually ring a few bells. alerting other things designed / that choose to stop such events). I pity anyone who doesn't understand this abstract stuff & is trying to follow it coherently. :-| One thing... do you have any illnesses / disabilities? It seems to be a recurring theme among those like you, almost like a trade-off. Mental / physical, there always seems to be something. This right there saves me (I guess) from the above. I'm not a reader. And "traveling" is SUPER-limited. I have a role in these things that I'm not and shouldn't go into. I also am not one of those who is bugged by visual apparitions like you, my wife and a good few other "strong ones" I know are. I'm not as gifted. However, I've seen plenty in my time and had a decent deal of physical interaction. While it sounds like I just said I'm talking about stuff I don't know about personally, it's very far from the truth. I'm just leaving it at I'm something different from you and the rest of the hyper sensitive. I have. And describing how I avoided not being alive anymore a few times is junk that even makes me go "This is some crazy crap lol"... even though I'm the one recounting it. :-D Just take a peek at my diagram above. Put the person on the left as a truck, me in the bubble, and noone else there to help on the right. The setting is a loooong stretch of road and the time almost exactly 11pm. That's just one description of a few. Some similar in design, some not... but all related to me having external help. I can only imagine what things must have looked like visually for the people in the truck. I know from my perspective, the vehicle sounded like a roaring lion, the engine's sound overlapping on itself many times over while also being slowed down. Likewise, seeing a truck madly swerve to one side, but then watching the chassis not upright itself for a few seconds. Amazing stuff. I don't think any of this works very well as a comic book. Too much emotion and non-tangible characters. And really, we're talking extreme cases here. The "supernatural" is usually "odd", but more or less anti-climactic and boring.

The girl sounds bipolar, or schizophrenic. You're adding too much of a human touch to this story though. You're placing humans too high on the food chain, control-wise. She's not being "helped" by something dark. She (likely) consciously accessed a nastier place and merely let things through that shouldn't be allowed to. And needless to say, not only are you being bothered, but she's being anything but "helped". Pictures of you being disemboweled? Power is emotion. Your power, their power... emotion and willful intent. You're being mentally exhausted to decrease your will. She's having a dark side of her fed, until inevitably she doesn't have anything better to go back to. There's no "guardian" anything going on, just the dark doing what the dark does. Making more. Ouija boards, gifted people who are confused... same thing. Both access points. Feet stuck in the door to let bad things enter through. : / There's no happy ending to this story, nor likely will there be. It's all damage control from here on in.

I'm guessing that was taken on a digicam. The first cam I had was, and it needed TONS of light, be it sunlight or a lamp being held directly above the object.

No, that's not portals. That's a time anomaly when intentional things are going on. Portals are things you can see into, and sometimes deliver things through. (And no, I never tried entering one. Some of the ones I and others see aren't happy on the other side. Others are just small, bright openings that non-destructive things pass through). But I've really only seen the darker ones... and a sickly, depressing emotion emanated from them. The last time, I saw what looked like a landscape, at night time. Except everything looked black in it. The earth, the (tree?) and the thinking things hiding just off to the side of the opening. Funny thing is, I used to work with a Filipino guy who knew of the things we spoke of. ...we BOTH saw these where we used to work once or twice, as well as dark, shadowy, humanoid figure(s). After one event, I asked him where it was it took place (we worked in an underground data library vault). I then walked him around the building, and showed him the clocks... all off, by minutes each, in a line. He was mildly shocked, but not blown away by it. :-D

I go through periods of low building, but I understand why. A. We've constantly had to move over the past few years. I'm always packing up my stuff and unpacking it. B. In the cold months of winter, most of my Lego parts are in the off-limits rooms we don't open, to keep cold out (no heat in house). C. ...because moods go up and down. But every one of you gets C. too. It's normal. You might buy certain sets and not build them, but it's not like the part of your subconscious that told you to get them doesn't know why it told you to. You will inevitably get to it. If you feel like you've unwillfully bought a set, it's probably that your subconscious also realizes parts purchased in sets one year, may not be available for purchase the next. Like the Bionicle guys, with their trans elements and spikey helmets? Might not be there when you get back in the mood to build. Have a brilliant idea for Patrick's head from the Spongebob set? Better get it now, for it might not be there next year. Buy 2, you might need to make your moc symmetrical. Etc etc... Was that too abstract, or did everyone get it?

Hee. Let me show you a diagram I made a long time ago, for someone similar on a different site: Which brings me back to what I told you to do with your clocks. X-D It's not that there's an intentional desire to mess up sound you hear, it's a side-effect of simply being present. The more insanely abnormal things get, the stronger the physical interaction, the more entities you have trying to interact simultaneously... this junk happens.

Out of curiosity, have you had any dealings with: --"portals" --events with sound missing / distorted Anyway, you've got a handful there. Likewise, your girl might not even be a girl at all, just a fake character that somehow further plays (specifically) on your attention. As for your "you shouldn't be able to see things"... things rarely work like that. :-D But if it's something new, you might just be getting a mild boost from things on your side, in light of the things on the other side. You might in fact REQUIRe what you're being given. I too have had "external" help before, saving my life more than once.

I think the small wings give it a "cute" look. The neck configuration seems like it might suffer from "floppy neck" over time, much as BW Megatron did straight from the box: Luckily though, at least it's more appropriate here. What keeps the 1x2 bricks on the heels of the back feet from popping off? (Is there another support I'm missing.)

Ah, would that be the one on DVD now, or the one originally played in theatres a few decades ago, complete with "man being eaten by piranha" scene intact? That movie had ALOT of controversy in it's day. My wife remembers seeing it in New York City, the first day it showed up at the theater. People were barfing in the seats and leaving. Almost immediately, it was taken away, for TRULY being a "snuff film". After getting banned in some countries and the creator having much time in court, a lesser version appeared, with him stating it was the only version that ever existed... but now it was missing scenes and 1 or 2 had been fakely replaced. And man, don't ever try telling horror movie buffs about it, they'll eat you alive (lol) and tell you you only read about it somewhere, that it was never released like that. Morons. :-D Scary movies, scary movies... they rarely "scare" me, but some do at least make me think. 1. "Threads" - Not a horror movie per se, but DAMNED scary. 2. Aliens - Scared the hell out of me when it was in theaters. A bit too scifi for me to say it's a horror movie... a nice hybrid I guess. 3. Storm of the Century - Not terrifying, but "ok" at creating an eerie mood. ...Perhaps moreso because of my understanding of the subject. 4. Night of the Living Dead - (The original) Duh. No-brainer. The black and white lets you escape from the bad makeup of modern-day zombie flicks. Lets you actually feel like your eyes are compromised due to it being night time.

Ooh, brainstorm. Instead of parking a train and then manually activating the one for the next era, you run the train into a strong, cleverly designed switch that switches tracks automatically! X-O I so have to get me some 9V trains sometime...

Well that rules THAT out. Yes, ouija boards are not to be trusted, no matter who's pretending to be what on the other line. I ask because it doesn't sound very human, the power being shown. Moving stuff around is tricky, but to do it a few times a day with little "recharge" time in between? It's not impossible, but this does sound like something rather larger and ugly. You might not be using a ouija, but you ARE giving it emotional power. You're dedicating "attention" to it. Don't let yourself become depressed or exhausted over it's attempts to divert your attention from every day life towards ...it. Understand, you're alive, much stronger than anything being thrown at you (well, usually), and when you start feeling weak and smaller after attempts to freak you out, you've got to stop and get a hold on the situation. You're this bright, glowing thing that can scorch lesser creatures like this. They can do unexpected, unnatural things, but how it affects you and for how long is largely up to your perspective and reaction to it all. Now granted, sometimes the other things are a bit... eh... well, I don't want to say "demonic", because religion really gets in the way of the truth of things, but yes, demonic... large, dark magnets, often with an intelligence and intelligent actions. Assuming it's nothing like that though, I suggest you attempt communication next time she appears, being as courteous as a store employee would be to a customer, but stern enough that your intent of you being in charge is not lost. You're the more powerful being, no matter what manages up enough energy to blink in and out around you.

Like hell banned. I know about the "tip of the iceberg" as well. Your stories are likely many, too many too even ATTEMPT to get it all out and not have 99% of those listening thinking you're nuts. And really, just recounting these events might be exhilirating at first, but quickly shifts into an exhaustive task. Ok, about you... No idea what the spirit's purpose is in playing around, but I can say you do have something that attracts such entities. You know in the movie "Ghost", where once the spirits caught on that the medium could see them, she got hounded? It's truly kind of like that. ...Just not as "Hollywood". Have you messed around with ouija boards or other forms of "odd" communication? I'm guessing it's not relevant, but it is worth asking. Especially with the more physically tangible events you're describing. Also wondering... how much does your partially-seen friend "do", physically and what time frame passes between one occurence to the next? As for electrical problems, that was not suprising to hear. In cases where physical things are taking place... hey, what do you know... power drain. Without too much detail, a few years ago my wife and I were under what can only be called a war. An individual in the neighborhood who we didn't know was apparently influenced by the persons (and other things) that had issues with us. Anyway, this person was lead to try to do something to us in the middle of the night. As he passed under each street lamp, they would flicker and go out until he fully cleared them. You could say he wasn't alone. Luckily, neither were we, though at a disadvantage. So power loss of surrounding electrical items is a common and expected part of your story. But realize, it might not just be whatever's buzzing around you... it might also be you and any things you have on your own side tapping it. "Ghosts", like us, and rocks, and matter itself are electrical. Speaking of which, I give you now a fun homework assignment... synchronize EVERY clock and watch you have available to the best of your ability. Next time an undeniably supernatural event occurs, I can almost guarantee you will find discrepancies as long as possibly 10 minutes... you can also probably use some math and find the initial point from which the anomalies began / entered from.

Same. In fact, I'll skip the first few numbers. I have a few different identities online. The first is the Lego one. The other biggie is the supernatural one. If I went into the things I've seen & been part of, I'd only be taken seriously by but a small handful. So yeah, I like to keep the 2 separate. ...and with that, I'm not really sure what to say scares me that goes bump in the night. :-|
