Who Am I?
I am nuparu1995. I am 13 years old, am in eighth grade, and live in California. In the future I hope to go to Seattle University or Seattle Pacific University to major in marine biology and minor in either art, world history, or music theory. After that I hope to either live there or on Kauai in Hawaii, so there would be a vacation every day. I thought editing Bioniclepedia would be a fun thing to do, and so, well...here I am. Feel free to bask in the glory of my uber-awesome userpage.

Cheers!

My Bionicle History
I have been a fan of Bionicle since the line was first introduced, and ever since then I've been hooked. It all started one day in fall 2001 when my mom and I went to McDonald's because we had no time to eat at home for dinner. I was 6 years old at the time, and therefore very impressionable, and saw that they were giving away the Bionicle Tohunga toys in the Happy Meals and thought they looked kinda cool. So I got Kongu, loved him, and saw there was a whole new toy line of them, and it's all one big blurr from thereon. Sooooo, yeah...that's my life's story. Some people don't completely approve of me being a Bionicle fanatic *cough* mom and dad *cough* (What!? I didn't say anything!) ; ), but I think it is an amazing thing to pass the time and has become much of a hobby for me. I am often ridiculed for my interest in Bionicle, some people even going so far as to say it is unhealthy. Sometimes I even think of myself as madly obsessed with Bionicle, and that the hundreds of dollars spent on sets over the years is ridiculous,but I know in the end it's all worthwhile. As far as I'm concerned, I see no point in the distant future when I'll give up on Bionicle. Viva la Bionicle!

My Favorite Times in My (Short) Life So Far
Obviously, being only 13 years old, I haven't done much in life. However, I do have some things that I think are at the top of my "Do it Again in 20 Years" list. First of all, I'd love to go to Maui again. The first thing I'd do there would be to eat at Cheeseburger in Paradise, the best restaurant there. If I had the chance, I'd also love to go to Montana sometime. I loved the natural scenery and wildlife there. I'd go back there just to eat huckleberry ice cream and at MacKenzie River Pizza Company. (As you all can very well see, much of my life revolves solely around food.) But most of all, I want maddeningly to travel back to Seattle or Kauai. (That's why I plan to live there.) I enjoy the urban environment of Seattle, and how it rains 300 days a year there. After all, I can stand temperatures of up to 78 degrees maximum, but then I turn beet red, start sweating, get a migraine headache, and burst into flames. Also I love all of the vintage coin stores and how every place in the downtown area can be reached by a short walk. What's more, I have a very slight case of agoraphobia, meaning I feel better in smaller places, or with more people around me, making city life very comfortable. I'd love to return to Kauai because of the food, cool weather, beaches, snorkelling opportunities (even though the fish bite), and lookouts over Waimea Canyon. I think, even though I have seen a lot within the past 13 years, as Frank Sinatra said, "The best is yet to come."

My Favorite Poem


The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary,while I pondered weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door - Only this and nothing more."

Ah, I distinctly remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow From my books a surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore - For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore - Nameless here forevermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to the still beating of my heart, I stood repeating "'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door - Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -  This it is, and nothing more.

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating no longer, "Sir," said I, "or madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door; - That I scarce was sure I heard you." - here I opened wide the door; - Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token, And the only word here spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!" This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!" Merely this, and nothing more.

Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again there came a tapping somewhat louder than before. "Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice; Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore - Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -  'Tis the wind, and nothing more!"

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore. Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door - Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door - Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, "Though thy crest is short and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven. Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -  Tell me what thy lordly is on the Night's Plutonian shore! Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though is answer little meaning - little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door - Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as "Nevermore."

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only, That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered - Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before - On the morrow he will leave me as my hopes have flown before." Then the bird said, "Nevermore."

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, "Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -  Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore Of "Never-nevermore."

But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door; Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore Meant in croaking "Nevermore."

I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core: This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er, But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er, She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor. "Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, oh wuaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!" Quoth he raven, "Nevermore."

"Prophet!" said I, "Thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! - Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,  Desolate yet all un daunted, on this desert land enchanted -  On on this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -  Is there - is there balm in Gil'ead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!" Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

"Prophet!" said I, "Thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird of devil! By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore -  Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,  It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore -  Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore?" Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked upstarting - Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of the lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my lonliness unbroken - quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!" Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted...nevermore!

My Favorite Songs


Many kids my age are completely obsessed with music, and will strut into school blasting it on their iPods so loud it can be heard loud and clear 10 feet away...from outside the speakers, and they actually have developed hearing loss!. I, for one, am (thankfully) not one of those stupid people. I love music, but I am reasonable with how loud I listen to it. (Whew!) And don't push me any rap or hip-hop, or I will most likely have projectile vomiting right in your presence. Believe me, its not a pretty sight! (Except for Chris Brown and Kanye West. They're cool.)

One by U2 and Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd give me the most chills upon listeneing to them. My all-time favorite bands are the All-American Rejects, Relient K, AC/DC, U2, Green Day, Elton John, and the Beatles are my favorite artists. The song with my favorite guitar solo is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. My favorite piano solo is from Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel. Overall, I believe music is one of the best things in life.
