    The land of Miragia. Its western and northern parts are bordered by sea, the south by an impenetrable desert, and the east by a great forest. The north is naturally coldest, though the land of Miragia is temperate. The capital of Arn is in the center of the kingdom on the great river Boreon. The west of the country is for the most part plains and fields. The east and north are forest.

    I used to cut out paper dolls and build giant paper houses for them on big art sheets of paper. Of course, I was only five, so architechturally they weren’t great. No hallways.

    Oh, and I used to play with my stuffed animals…I failed biology too. (Snowy my Himalayan cat and Blackie the black lab are married. Teehee)

    All the originals lego sets were the best, for money value and play value. These days lego is just copying old themes and making them worse, like Rock Raiders into Power Miners, and Life on Mars into Mars Mission. Also, the first Bionicles were the best. D:

    I loved Rock Raiders! We had the PC game, and the one with the light-up laser!
    I liked how they did those little comic strips with the Rock Raiders and Star Wars sets.

    Of those sets I posted, I only had the fifth. I eventually got the first years after they stopped selling it, and still mean to buy the others eventually.

    Actually, I was a fairly stereotypical girl when I was little, playing with Barbies and stuffed animals and my pink dollhouse. Of course, this is assuming that stereotypical girls play “war” with the evil Barbies oppressing the good Fisher-Price dollhouse dolls. The Barbies, being larger, almost won every time… but in the nick of time, the dollhouse dolls’ giant friend (my stuffed horse named Midnight. It was black-colored. I was seven. What can I say?) arrived to save the day.

    My Barbies were rarely used, so their hair inevetibly became tangled. It was only when I got older that I started dressing them up. I would dress them up and have fashion shows, complete with tiny little pieces of paper on thread for medals and certificates and trophies made of paper… I was really into little delicate things.

    I love Lego. I am a Star Wars freak, so I have a lot of Star Wars Lego sets. I got them when I was about six, so I wanted to build the alternate sets. Of course, I never finished them, so they lay around in pieces for a long time. Two years ago I decided to rebuild them, so now I have complete Lego sets.(almost) My favorate set is my X-wing. The one that had Biggs and the maintaince guy. I also have the Y-wing and Tie Advance, which they don’t make anymore.

    Also, the first Bionicles were the best

    Oh yes, but I only have Kopeka and Lewa, and they’re both missing pieces.
    I got a few of the Johnny Thunder sets, but they are all in pieces.
    The Rock Raiders were awesome. I have the Base(reassembled) the Granite grinder, and a few others all dissassembled.
