I can't understand how any adult could play with legos. I still have all of my old ones (I don't throw my things away, I'm like Barb I guess *yawn*:snorlax:) and they are so aggravating to attempt to play with.

I'm anti-toy in my core -- half of my friends seem to be stuck in some late-teens arrested development, and it's kind of of annoying.

But I can see it, sort of a modern (and trademarked! and far more expensive!) version of those hobbyist dads that used to make scale models of Washington DC with toothpicks or popsicle sticks or playing with model trains or whatever.

Wait. wtf is that? Did he make a giant Lego idol of himself? Has he always had that?

What do I see behind the green circle? I thought it was a cash register and a sign; but it don't really look like a house type room to me.

But I do drink a lot so I often see things that are not really there...

The High School is terribly boring as a contest entry. He is submitting a design that has nothing clever, interesting or specific about it. It's too personal, he has to explain most of his own boring life for any of it to make sense. If he had tried to build his actual high school and included a picture, then at least other people on the LEGO site could appreciate it. Building the school from the Friends set (which is a dollhouse you build, not exactly traditional LEGO bricks) isn't interesting, any kid with that set essentially built the same thing.

Not to mention that it's one of the entry level, extremely easy to build sets intended for 6 - 12 year old girls. Difficulty wise, it's just a step above Duplo.

He could've at least painted it to a more realistic color or perhaps replaced the pink and purple bricks with something like white and red bricks. Since he mixes knock-off Lego compatibles, it shouldn't seem out of the ordinary to mix some regular bricks in with it.

This doesn't change the fact that he's rapidly deteriorating sanity-wise, and his memories of high school growing increasingly distorted and falsified.

Nothing says "boudoir pic" like a bucket of duplo blocks.

I always wanted to know... what was he looking at in those pictures? in other pictures of him, he can at least focus on the damn camera, but here, he doesn't even looks at it. Why? And those pictures were supposed to be "sexy pictures" for some online dating website, right?

They look like plastic containers of the sort that you would store clothing in. Given Chris, they probably contain more toys. From the background it appears he's trying to rebuild his room at 14 Branchland Court.
