UPDATE TIME!

I am Batbrick. I live in Launceston, Tasmania, which is a state of Australia. As you can guess by my username I love lego and Batman. I will admit to iamded's joy that I do like spiderman aswell, but the sad, inspiring characterisation of Batman intrigues me more than Doc Ock puns. My favourite two Batman movies are Batman Begins and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. The latter is an animated feature that I consider the best media adaptation of Batman. See it now!

I love lego, have always collected it. I can remember my first lego set from about 12 years ago, but sadly not much, only that it had a lot of pink windows and doors. Perhaps someone could help me with that? It was a set with a house I'm sure. Anyway, only recently have I REALLY gotten into lego, about the last three years I'd say. It started when I bought a bit of lego for an animation, and then continued to do so. My animations have sadly come to an end for the next lot of months, while I figure out my camera problems.

That didn't stop me from collecting lego though, and now I love lego far more than animating. Recently, from this year, I joined Eurobricks. I was surprised at what a friendly community it was and decided to stay. Here I am encouraged a lot and get a lot of advice, to the point where I now know a lot of great techniques. It was because of the great EB community that I started MOCing more, and found out it was immense fun! My favourite theme is post-apoc, amd I especially love iamded's post apoc world and TinyPiesRUS's one too. I love entering competitions here too.

Now onto iamded! Thats right bud, you get a whole paragraph to yourself!
iamded was the first person I really got to know on EB, which is what I like about it, its the only forum I know where you can get to know someone. It started when I realised that I coincidentally posted after him quite a lot, probably because we live in close by areas and like the same sort of lego and things. I made a funny remark about "stalking him", and then it flew on from there. Now we always include each other in our MOCs and stuff, which makes me feel good that I have an internet buddy, also an archenemy. Although lately we have been on the same team quite a bit, so you never know, we may eventually become not archenemys but team-mates up against the evils of megablocks! We both have sign-offs too, though mine changes occasionally, but always goes back to:
Batbrick Away!

My favourite themes of lego are wide. they are:
Vikings, Castle, Aquaraiders, City, Creator, Indy, but most of all Batman, which even iamded admits is a great theme. You can almost say my liking of lego is too much, as i spend half the time of my day worrying if I can get the next set! I always do though, and that makes me feel good, especially if it is a good set.

Now onto me:
I was NOT born in 1987, that was me being stupid, I am younger than that, but like to think of myself s pretty mature..........most of the time. In real life I have blonde, curly hair and blue eyes. I am pretty weird, and a lot of the time am cynical, negative, pessimistic and sarcastic, but in a nice, joking way. I tend not to say that the worst will happen, but to expect the worst to happen, then you will always end up pleasantly surprised. I don't do sarcasm on the internet though, as it never really works. Not that I would, I am actually really positive about things I like. At the time of writing this I am wearing a "sarcasm is just another service I offer" t-shirt, which kind of sums that up, I am not negative in a bad way, just in a way that allows me to get through my life.

I am pretty smart, I won the Academic student award in primary school, which is the biggest award, as well as the English achiever award. What kind of puts me off is that my high school teachers give me good marks, but not as good as they should be, just because I always make cynical comments, despite me writing essays that use words that will make you roll your eyes if someone used them in real life. My favourite TV show is the classic Batman: The Animated Series, which features an exceptional Mark Hammil (luke skywalker anyone?) as the voice of the greatest villain ever (maybe except two-face) : The Joker!

I am a christian, funnily enough considering my cynicality, and find this helps me in times of great despair. I have 6 membersw in my family, two sisters, one brother, me, my mum and dad. Mum works pat-time, and Dad is a carpenter. I also work part-time at a demeaning fast food store, but atleast it means I can rack up my resume and get more lego!

My favourite movies are: Batman Begins, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, The Prestige, The Shawshank Redemtion, Casino Royale, Goldfinger, Dr. No, Anything by Pixar or anything featuring Wallace and Gromit, Star Wars (original trilogy ONLY!), Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, and King Kong (the classic which I got for 5$, not the admittingly good, but overly long Peter Jackson Affair)

Well that about wraps me up, you now know Batbrick, or, by my real name.......:









Thomas!

Good name eh? True, my name is Thomas.

Batbrick Away! (add evil grin emoticon here)
