Kyle- Can’t read and thinks he’s a gangsta despite being racsist. about 4’5″
Cody- Poster child for jerk monthly.

in September 11th, 2007 @ 15:49That’s intense, but so beautiful!
In response to part one:
341 ~ I don’t wear makeup…
345 ~ except for plays. I do my own makeup for plays because if I let the actual makeup people do it I end up looking like a scary doll.
349 ~ I love the Golden Compass. I’ve read that trilogy at least three times.
351 ~ I own lip gloss. I just don’t wear it. But some of my friends do. I wear eyeliner like…once a month. (Literally. xD)
371 ~ Let’s see, I read
Muse
New Moon
The New York Times
The New Yorker
-local newspaper that has nothing on the Times except comics-
…I think that’s it.And I’m not sure if I’ve ever taken pre-algebra. In sixth grade I just took math since it was the only option. xD Seventh grade advanced math was called compressed math, since it was seventh and eighth in one year. I think eighth grade honors was Algebra I, and this year is Geometry Honors. It’s really easy so far.

in September 11th, 2007 @ 16:40MY COMMENT GOT CUT OFFF
grrr.
OWOWOW. stupid shots…
meningitis, chicken pox booster, and Gardasil. Contrary to popular belief, *coughcoughpentycoughcough* Gardasil was the one that hurt the least. The meningitis is SORE, tho.I have way too much homework, and the Lit homework requires a book that I don’t even have.
The pic is cool! What filters did you use, LB?

in September 11th, 2007 @ 17:37I got a tetanus shot last month, due to the fact that A. the one I had gotten 11 years previously only was supposed to last 10 years and B. I stepped on a broken glass bottle with my bare foot while walking through the forest. So my arm was sore for several days.

Rebecca Lasley (Administrator)
in September 11th, 2007 @ 19:49(22) Kiki, mostly I used the Liquify filter on a photo of a watercolor. My first experiments didn’t look to promising, but I kept adding layers. Today I worked on refining some of my techniques, so maybe I’ll give this basic idea another shot later on.
If you want to give it a try, my starting point was the mirror tool in Liquify. Moving the brush point in a circular motion created a bubble area. Some light touches with “bloat” and “pucker” made it look more three dimensional. Various other tools created the splashes. I brushed on the lighting effects, each round added in a new layer.
(And, yes, it’s irritating, but “liquify” is how Adobe spells the name of the filter.)

Rebecca Lasley (Administrator)
in September 11th, 2007 @ 20:14(31) Yes, it was done in Photoshop which is, sad to say, expensive, though sometimes you can find deals on older versions. But there are lots of decent graphics programs out there at much more reasonable prices.

in September 11th, 2007 @ 20:26Well. I am sad.
Today is September 11. It’s sad thinking about what happened today those few years ago. I guess that all there is to do is to pray for the families of the victums and the soldiers that are fighting at this very moment.

in September 11th, 2007 @ 20:3234-yeah, in core today. My class listened to a song by a girl, who I think was in elementary school, but it was about how a girl lost her father in 9/11. It didn’t rhym, but it was touching…

in September 11th, 2007 @ 20:48I had a tetanus shot a few years ago, but I had to get zillions of vaccines when I went to South Africa – typhoid was the worst. Bit I haven’t had any for awhile. Except I think I had the Gardasil one or whatever you call it…but I’m not positive.
We had a moment of silence for 9/11 today and we talked about it in World Cultures. It actually got quite annoying because our principal kept calling it nine-one-one instead of nine-eleven, but oh well. Apparantly the death toll for 9/11 went up one more last week, because someone died from lung cancer which they got from the air/fumes.
Rebecca – you, I have to say, are the most talented computer-person I know. How long did it take you to learn all of the photoshop and computer graphics stuff?

My school did nothing for 9/11. Rather saddening. Even if you hate the actions taken, real people died. I can respect and mourn that.

Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Grant O.
in September 11th, 2007 @ 20:56Grant does.
Photoshop is very fun. Some time ago I used it to make a poster for a presumed Internet show my friend and I were thinking of starting. We never really got on it, but the poster is powerful enough to hurt your eyes. It’s got several cool effects, but I’m not going to email it now because it’s on the main computer and I’m using my laptop.
I have nothing to say about 9/11. Absolutely nothing about the fact that it’s now called “Patriot Day,” which name suggests that it’s now a holiday. Nothing whatsoever to say about numerous other things on the subject.
Does anyone here have the Dangerous Book for Boys? That is one of my favorite books. Although right now its only use is assisting in propping up the screen of my laptop, it contains much useful information.

in September 11th, 2007 @ 21:5138~ “The Dangerous Book for Boys” keeps popping up in Amazon, but I’ve got no idea what it’s about. It’s got a cool title though. Ah well, I’m a girl, so it doesn’t really matter.
I didn’t do anything for 9/11, most of today I was cleaning my room. So, I guess I could say I could feel for the people that I could feel for the people that helped clean up….

yesterday's_kinked_moose
in September 11th, 2007 @ 22:00At my school, one of the history teachers made a video for 9/11 that he showed at the beginning or every class period. He invited the other teachers to bring their classes down to the auditorium for it if they wanted to. Only problem was they didn’t organize their class-taking very well…so I ended up seeing it 3 times. It was pretty good though, the first time anyway.

in September 11th, 2007 @ 22:2442- I haven’t read it, but from interviews with the author I’d say it’s a book with instructions on how to do fun boy-ish things they just don’t teach you anymore, like building a treehouse or skinning a rabbit.

in September 12th, 2007 @ 13:14I’m on the internet at school! Gasp! We’re allowed, but not on inapproprite sites. I hope the school doesn’t decide to be a poopyhead and call this inapropriate. This computer spell checks everything and it says I just spelled inappropriate wrong twice but I don’t want to fix it. I get out in about 5 minutes. I haven’t been posting much because of school so sorry to everyone, especially the RRRs.

in September 12th, 2007 @ 16:18If you have NO money, check out The Gimp. It’s a full-featured graphics program, and it’s open source, so you just download it and use it. It has most of the features of the professional packages. The user interface isn’t as nice and friendly as the big boys, but it’s useable.

I am now obsessed with drawing these little cartoon dinosaur/lizard thingies I made up. I’m just finishing a drawing now.

51- that sounds cool, Paul! Though if I used any graphics program I’d probably get confused and have to go get help from Lady Bunniful or Penty or someone…

in September 12th, 2007 @ 18:1138- The Dangerous Book for Boys? It was mentioned in a fairly recent issue of TIME about the current status of young male Americans. Sounds quite interesting. Very British, and very mischeivous. I’d like to read it myself sometime, although I am a girl. Or at least, I was the last time I checked…

in September 12th, 2007 @ 18:56Guess what! I am now a stalker. No joke. My acting assignment is to stalk someone for two weeks, observe how they carry themselves, and then imitate them and the rest of the class has to guess who I am.
The trouble is, I never see this person outside of acting class.
I wonder who’s stalking ME . . .
Re: shots. I had two when I was a baby, I think. Polio and something else. And then when I was five I got a tetanus shot.
And that about sums it up. Yup.
Freshman Transitions is BORING! Today we watched part of a movie about some kid who fell in love with this depressed girl, and then he became depressed (not because of her), and suicidal, and they were running away on the kid’s scooter when we had to stop the movie. It was so boring, I didn’t even watch half the time, but doodled on the edge of my paper.

in September 12th, 2007 @ 20:3758-haha, we do that in our theater classes…/i don’t take them, but people always complain about it
So today in chem jacob and i were saying “jesus christus” (the spanish way…heysoos chreestoos) because it’s something we used to say all the time…i think freshman year…so we were bringing it back. Then we were talking about how we have thursday off (haha, yesss) and how weird it is because we’ll wake up friday and think it’s the weekend. I said “yeah, i’m going to wake up friday at like ten in the morning because i think it’s the weekend and just go JESUS CHRISTUS I’M LATE” and the last bit came out REALLY loud, even though i didn’t mean it to be that loud. Flores was probably looking at me weirdly but right at that moment the bell rang so i basically ran away
it was pretty funny though. Oh, and i said it in an italian accent (why italian, idk. it was spanish. but whatev)Also highlight of day, in brit lit we listened to floyd’s wish you were here and talked about it. and that’s basically all we did. and in ap l/c we watched part of the wonder years and talked about urban legends. aah, hemmelgarn.
i told everybody the urban legend from muse about the pigeons riding subways

There’s a girl one coming out? Hmm, I wonder if it’s all how to sew and curtsy and suchlike. If it is I’d get the boy’s one.

in September 12th, 2007 @ 21:12There was a kid in Spanish class who asked to be called Jesus. The teacher let him, but next class he changed his mind and when the teacher asked him what his Spanish name had been he said Zorro. I guess she was too preoccupied to think twice about it because she seemed pretty surprised today when he said his Spanish name was Zorro.

in September 13th, 2007 @ 10:2034-38 et cetera ~ We discussed 9/11 in global, too, and had a moment of silence in the morning (although we have one every day anyway). It’s always really sad to think about and I remember those couple of days so clearly.
38 ~ It’s called Patriot Day? Since when?
My cousins got the Dangerous Book for Boys for their dad’s birthday when we were in Michigan but we all left too soon after that for me to get a chance to read it.51 ~ I think I have that but I’ve never used it.
52 ~ I don’t even have a phone. -sniffle- Well, not a cell.
56/57 ~ But the boy one sounds so interesting. The boy one is pretty stereotypical, so I can assume the girl one will be like “How to knit” or do embroidery or something. I already know how to sew anyway though. xD
58 ~ That’s the most awesome assignment ever. I wish they offered an acting class for freshmen.
62 ~ My friend’s brother’s name is Chris but in middle school or something he decided there were too many Chrises so he decided to change his name to Christ (pronounced like Chris with a t at the end). He wrote it on a paper for school and his teacher got really mad and started asking “WHO HERE THINKS THEY’RE CHRIST?” He hadn’t even realised that Christ and Christ are spelled the same (not that Chris+t is really a name to begin with).
63 ~ I feel your pain. -got her braces off in sixth grade- :D
I have to do homework. Happy Rosh Hashanah!

in September 13th, 2007 @ 14:19(73) According to Wikipedia, Congress originally declared September 11 a “National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims Of the Terrorist Attacks.” President Bush renamed it Patriot Day before the first anniversary of the attacks, in 2002.

in September 13th, 2007 @ 16:0975- Of prayer? Church and state? Nobody’s forcing you to pray, but I’d prefer if it wasn’t even mentioned. What’s wrong with just a national day of remembrance?
74- Ooo, neon green. Our shoes are black. And I had to polish them after the game. But now they’re shiny.
No school!

in September 13th, 2007 @ 16:26(76, 73) Sorry, I’ve checked: Wikipedia has it wrong. The National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks was September 14, 2001. Congress designated Patriot Day later that year. Appary somebody in the House of Representatives picked the name. It’s not a national holiday — just a discretionary (i.e., optional) day of remembrance. Flags fly at half staff; that’s about all that happens.
By the way, America also has a National Day of Prayer. It’s the first Thursday in May. Some people who oppose the idea protest it by celebrating a “National Day of Reason” on the same day, but it hasn’t caught on in a big way. No greeting cards or anything yet.

I’m hungry. I might go fry some potatoes in olive oil. Has anyone ever done that? It’s g-e-w-d gewd.
We started Othello in English class today, and I get to be Iago. We were making props, and I made myself a Fu Manchu mustache and some angry eyebrows out of pipe cleaners.
Now if you’ll excuse me, the stairs in this building have been burned down by termites. So it looks like I’m gonna have to jump!

69- It wasn’t actually that depressing, just because it was so bad.
73- Thy don’t offer acting for freshmen at your school?
Do they offer creative writing? They don’t let freshmen take that course here. It sucks. Chris+t might not be a name, but I know a guy named Krist.
I want a historical costume so badly!!!! It’s painful, since I’m kind of bad at sewing and therefore would have to make all sorts of projects that I’m not passionate about to get to making the project that I was passionate about.
Today I had to run a mile. *awful*
On a much happier note, my English class went to the gym and did African dancing with an African dancer who came to the school. And I get to do it tomorrow in Acting! Yay! I’m so happy!

in September 13th, 2007 @ 17:2681- I don’t think my school *offers* creative writing* But they let you take acting if you’ve taken theatre one which is a tiny bit of acting. You can take theatre two then which is acting. You can also take Theatre IB (without having to take theatre two if you’ve taken theatre one) which is play reading. Then after theatre IB you can take advanced acting. I think you can take Illusion theatre any time after theatre one, though. I take creative writing in the summer, though. It’s amazing. I love my teachers and my classmates and lots of us come back each year. I’ve taken it in 2006 and 2007 and I think I’ll try to take it next year. Sadly, that will have to be my last year because I’m graduating… I’ll definately take creative writing classes in college though… Oh, and the same program that I take creative writing through is a lot like CTY but way smaller and the classes sometimes change though there are various core ones that are usually there. I took Math & Art in 2004 and architecture in 2005 so I’ve been doing the program for years I just have only taken creative writing twice. Yup. That was long…
I think I might suggest the stalker assignment to my teacher in one of my theatre classes this year.
Shana Tova!
81- A mile’s not much at all…. Today I had to run 5 800s at a race pace…. (then again, I’m a cross country runner.
81 (again) – yes! I hate the bad at sewing thing. I run to my friend Rachel for sewing help usually…

in September 13th, 2007 @ 18:0181 ~ I’m looking through the course guide right now and I can’t find any acting course at all.
Creative writing is offered but with English 11 as a prerequisite. But when I’m a senior I’m probably going to be taking AP English…why can’t I take creative writing now instead? (Same thing with Theatre arts, although it says it can be taken with permission of instructor.) There are so many classes in here I want to take though.

in September 13th, 2007 @ 19:11I couldn’t think of anywhere else to post this.
I’m thinking of leaving the blog. NOT PERMANENTLY. I just think it’s taking up too much of my life, and I want to see if I can discipline myself to stay away from it.
Don’t get me wrong. I love this place. I love being able to talk to people who are actually somewhat intelligent, I love all the writing projects, and I love being crazy without anyone telling me to stop. But anything in excess is bad, and I think I’ve had enough for a while.
Don’t worry. I haven’t even finalized my decision yet, and if I do leave, I will be back. But I just want you to know I’m considering it.

in September 13th, 2007 @ 19:2657- Excellent point, actually.
58- lol! Stalking… Speaking of interesting class assignments, we are about to start reading The Odyssey in English. To get everyone in the mood, my English teacher is having us divide into teams. Except they’re not teams, they’re ships. Everyone names their ship, makes a model, then writes and sings a song about it in front of the class. There are also various other writing, art, and athletic competitions. The overall winning team gets little stuffed Aflac ducks, because my English teacher’s daughter works there, and they sometimes hand out promotional items. She has a special upgraded lifeguard duck. I’m very jealous. And we have a lesson on character archetypes (Mary-Sues! I finally get an English class about them!), to study Penelope, and why she’s so perfect and crap.

in September 13th, 2007 @ 19:3086- for creative writing you could try showing the teacher some of your writing. The prerequsite actually might be a good thing. My school does offer Creative writing but no one ever mentions it and I don’t think it actually exists. A prerequisite assures some quality.

in September 13th, 2007 @ 20:1188- I understand completely. I have considered doing that in the past, but in truth, I’m too addicted to my various projects to leave. I could leave almost very thread, but when it came to bidding my RRRs farewell for over a week, my whole plan would crumple.
I wish you wouldn’t leave; you’re a brilliant writer and a cool person, but I understand. *takes out farewell handkerchief* *waves it*Now I’m depressed. I hate it when someone leaves. Honest, I’m on the verge of tears.
90- My sister had a cat wink at her.
I don’t really feel I need to leave at this point in time. My social and academic life outside of MuseBlog is fine, and I’m no longer obsessed. Someday my ties will probably just snap, and I’ll turn into a drifter like one of the Gen.1ers. But not yet.

What happened today: <band>I got audition music for normal band. I want to play first trombone, but I know Brian will and I’m not sure about the other two, they’re from a different middle school. So I’m practicing a lot. And we have a marching band competition in Cicero tomorrow. We don’t get home until 2 a.m. Reportedly the field is one of the two best in the circuit, though. Astroturf and all. I’ve never even walked on astroturf, I think. And there’s a huge arena with lots of other bands… exciting and scary. </band>

90- I had bad sinuses yesterday, too. So I couldn’t practice violin… and I have chamber music auditions tomorrow. I’m on a practice break now.The fact that I “know” people online that I don’t know in real life rather scares me. Especially that I know some bloggers on facebook/aim, too. I trust the people on here, though, not to come to my school and stalk me. The blog is almost cult-like, in a way. Except it’s a nerd cult.
It is rather addictive though.
I need to get a life. How does one go about that, Potato Chip asks?

in September 14th, 2007 @ 19:23Alice, you are not allowed to leave. Not as long as I have anything to say about it. I’d miss you too much.
Such interesting bonds we form with people we’ve never actually met. Is it the Collective Unconcious? We discussed that in English today, and I agree with some parts of the theory. Except for the suicidal part… that doesn’t make an awful lot of sense. I think I prefer Jung’s ideas to Freud’s, which are somewhat sadistic, and pretty nasty at times. There’s got to be more to our motives than having sex, right? Sorry, very weird if you haven’t read any of his stuff.And PraCan… I am deeply saddened by your absence from the blog. You are a major part of blog culture, and your leave creates a void where you once typed. Come back when you feel, but please make it sometime before next decade.
Traggle bids us a temporary farewell, too. Why am I getting a vague sense of deja vu` akin to MontgomeryGurl’s flight from our little section of blogosphere?
Gah. Now I feel gloomy and somber. Not the best feeling to have on a lovely Friday evening.

in September 14th, 2007 @ 20:19Oh god. Part two. I’d go back and finish part one, but I think I should probably catch up on the other threads…
Life update:
Anyway, I’ve been gone a lot, yeah. Tennis after school till five, and on days I don’t have hockey I stay later with Ros and some othe rpeople and hit longer. Till around 6 normally, but today me and Ros stayed till 7 and played some other people who showed up that we sort of knew when the other people on the team left.
(You know, we’ve only had two practices since school started. Today and wednesday. All the onther weekdays have been meets or rained out…)And on the days I do have hockey, I’m home for about 10 minutes to eat and pack, then leave for dryland and practice and get home around 10:30 to finish hw. Ahg.
Tomarrow we have a tournament for tennis though! It’s freshmen/sophomore only, though me and Ros are still 1st and second singles as we;ve been for all the other meets. ^^ Even though Ros is a freshie and this is her first year playing, she’s really good. So I have that tomorrow, getting to the courts around 7 to practice and getting home around 3 or 3:30. Must remember sunscrean this time. I do not want repeat of lat week… eep.
And on sunday, I have a hockey game at 6:30 in the morning. WHich means I have to be there by 5:30, so I have to get up at 4:30 if I want 30 minutes to get dressed. DX I’m going to die… then at 7:30 pm or so we have a practice. Ahhg.

in September 15th, 2007 @ 08:50142- Was there any point in that? I’m not even sure precisely what the dialect you were attempting was… Just goes to show, boredom can steer you in any direction.
Hm… I need some new books to read… I’ll surely shrivel up into a withered husk with no one on AIM and no new reading material. Suggestions, anyone?
New MuseBlogger coming soon, possibly, as well as a new subscriber in time.Victwee! Wejoything!

in September 15th, 2007 @ 08:54(142, 147) I suspect Beavo dumped the text into an online program that “translates” text into various dialects. That one looks to me like Hillbilly. It might be handy to have a Pirate translator for the rapidly approaching Talk Like a Pirate Day.

in September 15th, 2007 @ 09:28130- yay for nerd cults. I don’t know any of the bloggers in real life and probably never will. the feeling on this blog is pretty good, though that’s probably why I keep coming back (and the fact that i have waaaaaay to much spare time) yay for the blog. in that little thought of mine i forgot what your post was actualy about so forgive me if i said something completely random.
the blog taught me how to type fast.
138- yeah. i have no idea what anyof you look like (except for the kokonventioners) but i have this mental image of you, Alice, you’re wearing a pink sweater and a long blue skirt. you have a fair complexion and black hair and eyes. I know i am totaly off, but that’s my mental imige of you.

in September 15th, 2007 @ 13:24Do those careers seem like I’d like them?
Gwendolyn, books suggestions: Someplace to be Flying -Charles de Lint. Any Diana Wynne Jones. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (that one’s not fantasy despite it’s title) Human Croquet by Kate Atkinson Faery Reel edited by Terri Windling and Ellen Datlow (that one’s an anthology) The Priviledge of the Sword by Ellen Kushner Come to think of it, these books apply to anyone who’s interested.

Ebeth The Titleless
in September 15th, 2007 @ 14:39So the blues brothers show wasn’t too horrible (yes, this is another marching band rant. random side note, the initials of marching band amuse me…it’s funny to walk into band and see MB on the board :D) Hermann and nick dressed up in suits and suchlike. We wore winter uniforms, and it was incredibly hot *dies* johnson put on one of the drummer’s hats (they wear baseball hats backwards because apparently they’re too cool for the regular hats). We lost, of course. Right before halftime when we were standing on the side, seth white got a penalty for starting a fight right next to us, so we had amusing conversations about the stupidity of certain football players. Carolynn wasn’t there, so in his pre-halftime speech, peter dedicated the show to her, or rather a certain part of her anatomy in keeping with the trumept tradition. We also decided that from now on we were going to do a cheer like the football players do before the game, when the coach yells “who are you?” “SNIPVILLE” “who?” “SNIPVILLE” etc and then “what are you going to do?” “WIN” etc. So we’re going to say “trumpets” and then “*** ’em up!” and hurt our voices even more than we normally do…aah, friday nights.
Nobody messed up badly, considering we had four days to learn the drill, and half the band was gone one of those days anyway for rosh hashana. And we learned the dance at the spread. It was an old dance mostly though. I asked lizzy and monica about it third quarter, and they rated us an 8 out of 10, so that’s good. We spent most of third quarter talking to the other band. They were very sparkly. They had sparkly hats and sparkly sashes, and they had flag girls who had sparkly flags. Not nearly as cool as our penguinesque uniforms, but still very shiny.
After the game we were hanging around wondering what to do, and a lot of people went to starbucks but hewitt and i are not starbucks people, besides which there were going to be a few people there that were rather infuriating. So courtney got a call from danny and heard that there was a party going on at her old church, so we went there instead and partied with the lutherans. It was quite interesting how many people i knew there. I went with courtney (an ex-lutheran who hasn’t been there since like kindergarten), hewitt (an apathetic catholic like myself), john (the new kid, plays tenor sax. he’s really good. dunno what religion, but i don’t think he was lutheran), and megan (a methodist). Once we got there, we met up with danny (a jew) and also saw robert and rachel m., (i know both of them, but we don’t really hang out much), hahnz, and maddie. (i think maddie’s jewish too) So altogether i knew three (?) lutherans at the lutheran party, and then there were a few other people i recognized but didn’t know, and a couple i didn’t know at all. So it was more just an all-around party.
there was a pirate pinata that fell off the string three times, so we just stabbed it and threw candy at each other, and there was free pizza (free food is ALWAYS good), ping-pong, and pool. It was good times.
Today i’m basically just being lazy
so [ / life ]
i’m reading the tale of genji again. i never finished it the last time, but it gets confusing with all the different names for the same people, so i’m starting over again.
i think i have library books that have been out for about a month *eep*
i can’t find the scythe on limewire and it makes me sad :'( If there are any european MBers who have the actual cd and have AIM, you should totally send me the songs *nudgenudge* you know you want to.
i wish itunes wouldn’t be all stupid about it…but i guess if they didn’t they wouldn’t make any money…

question #2: Do people even know who I am any more, since I average about one post per week?

in September 15th, 2007 @ 16:02157- I’d love to listen, Liz. And I know who you are. One of the few first-geners who continues to grace us n00bs (comparitively and literally speaking) with her presence. Ah… the good ol’ days, before we got past nine generations. Do you remember what it was like? The old blog, where people who joined commited for some time before running away, and almost always returned eventually, instead of all these weirdo newbies who post once and then dash off, never to be heard from again. Yes, that was MuseBlog at some of its best.

in September 15th, 2007 @ 16:43157: Yes, I remember you and yes, I’d love to hear you play the violin. Violins are awesome. I just got a new one, actually. Mine was too small but still the best violin in the whole world. I miss it, in case you couldn’t tell.
We had a cross country meet today. It was good-I came in 14th in the freshman/sophomore race and our team won the aforementioned (ooh, what a cool word) race. I wish I knew what place I came in on the team… I’ll find out on Monday.

in September 15th, 2007 @ 18:19148- Ha, we did some blues brothers songs when we went to northern last year with a bunch of other bands. We were there for the game, and our band was the only one who was standing and sheering even though most of us don’t like football. Everyone else was just sort of sitting there, except for the row behind us who we got to be hyper to. ‘Twas fun.

in September 15th, 2007 @ 18:55166~ Wow, you must be really mad at the homework, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you having such a fit.
I should be cleaning my room. Uuggghhhhhhh. I really don’t want to. But, I started, and I have to finish it, or at least do some more, because my stuff is shrewn all over my bed, and on the porch and the whole place looks worse than when I started and I hate cleaning but my room was so incredibly disgusting that I had to do something and I hate cherry pits.
That was the most spectacular run-on sentence I’ve done in long time. Wow, I’m amazed at myself for writing that. Such un-grammatical blather. That sentence that might as well be a paragraph. Ah well. I hate cleaning my room.

So stuck, in fact, that I never feel properly dressed untill I’m wearing about 3 layers of clothes, and several skirts, and 2 hats, and, and, and……. Music too, all my friends think I’m nuts.

Alice of the Blackberries
in September 15th, 2007 @ 19:00165- Welcome to the club. I think you get a badge . . .
I just got mistaken for a 20-year-old! So weird; this guy comes up to my door, rings the doorbell, and I answer it because my mother is at work. He’s selling cards for a fundraiser, and I say I’ll buy one, just to be nice. I go upstairs, get my purse, and come back downstairs. I pick a very nice card with a pig on it, but it turns out the cards are too expensive.
Me: Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t have enough money.
Guy: Oh. Well . . . we would take a check.
Me: (very aware that I shouldn’t let on I’m home alone) I can’t write checks, I’m too young. And my mother isn’t available right now. (Stupid of me, to be sure. I’m so used to dealing with people over the phone.)
Guy: Oh well, thank you.
Me: Yeah, sorry.
I end up giving him a donation of two dollars.
Guy: Wait, how old are you?
Me: (Thinking: Oh no, I shouldn’t answer this. I shouldn’t answer this. But what else can I do?) Um . . . 14. (Thinking: Great. How stupid of me. I shouldn’t have answered that.)
Guy: Oh, I thought you were like 20 or something. *leaves*Looking back, I handled the situation very badly. I can think of several things I should have done differently, but honestly, it wouldn’t have made much difference in the end. I would have had to tell him my mother wasn’t available anyway, just to explain why I couldn’t buy a card.
The thing is, no matter what the situation, I have to be polite.
I feel very stupid and inexperienced. Hopefully my use of the word available made it seem like she was in the bathroom or something.
Agh. I need reassurance. How many people have been stupid enough to as good as tell someone that they were home alone? Or wait– hold that thought. *goes and locks the front door* *comes back* Now, you were saying?

in September 15th, 2007 @ 19:20170~ I’m not usually home alone, and when I am, nothing happens. Nobody comes to our door, seeing as we live in the middle of nowhere and our driveway looks like one of the places you just don’t go. As in, it’s a long curvy gravel road in the middle of nowhere.
I think one time the UPS man came when I was alone. If I remember correctly, I hid.
Real mature, aren’t I? Usually I just have to answer the phone, then I do the same thing, “She’s not able to come to the phone at the moment, can I take a message?” Geez, I sound like a secratary.

Beavo the Online Stalker
in September 15th, 2007 @ 19:54This has nothing to do with anything that is happening on this thread, including locked doors (what?) but I was looking around on RinkWorks and I found this guide to persuasion thing, and here’s one of the tips.
Name Calling
Name calling is an efficient way of pointing out your opponents’ weaknesses and call into question the authority with which they dispute your position. By encouraging your opponents to doubt their competence, you can undermine a contrary argument from the inside. For example:You: “I believe all short people should be beaten with rocks until they bleed.”
Opponent: “I think that’s a very horrible and malicious idea.”
You: “Well, you’re fat! Fatty fat doo doo head!”
Opponent: (sobs)At this I literallly had to run out of the room to avoid being told off for cracking up without warning in the middle of my mother’s transcription. It took me about five minutes to shut up. And then I read this:
Random Comments
The interjection of random comments is a useful diversionary tactic. Although the best way to win an argument is for your opponents to concede the debate to you, this last ditch effort can be used in an emergency to secure a secondary victory by disorienting your opponents so much they don’t know how to proceed. This tactic has the side benefit of presenting yourself as knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects, so observers are bound to be impressed by your breadth of expertise.You: “School lunches suck.”
Opponent: “Despite the taste, school lunches are, in actuality, very nutritional.”
You: “On the contrary! Mahogany is one of Honduras’ primary lumber exports.”
Opponent: “Mahogany? Honduras? This has nothing to do with school lunches!”
You: “Yeah, well, I could beat you at arm wrestling!”
Opponent: “What does– But– You–”At this, I had to reapeat the first comment about laughing.
Speaking of laughing, I participated in my first (I think) karate demo! *dances* (Why that reminded me of laughing, I know not.) We all drove to the Bluemont Fair and performed with our weapons, street defence, and board breaking. And I pulled off the best flying side-kick I have ever done while breaking a board at the SAME TIME.
And then since it was really randomly
rainyWINDY, it was kind of cold, and the wind blew this broken branch off a tree and hit Dan upside the head. *bwahahaha* He’s like six foot five and screamed like a two year old girl. Uuber funny. But you had to be there.

Speaking of violin, I recorded myself last night and sent it to some MBers over AIM… problem is, it’s in .wav format, so about 56MB for 5 and a 1/2 minutes, way too big to email. I could either convert it to mp3 or upload it somewhere for the GAPAs to download. I’ll probably convert it.

l also found the alternate MB, by glassboro.

in September 16th, 2007 @ 01:27I’m almost done with Ebeth’s novel. I’m sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired. I should probably go to bed, but I’m sort of absorbed in the book and I don’t want to lose my place.
Ebeth, the book is good, but it doesn’t make an awful lot of sense and there were some things that were blatantly filler. These things aren’t necessarily bad, though.
There are also things that are slightly less blatant filler, like Marvin’s one three three seven, which I had to translate into numbers before I could translate into words, but which I didn’t want to ignore because it could have been important.
Some pieces of the book are absolutely brilliant and others are absolutely hilarious, and some parts are annoying and spoil the whole mood, until you hit another very good spot.
Good job!

Et cetera. I think you get the point. I agree with c+q when she says it stops in the middle.

in September 16th, 2007 @ 09:22170- One time, I was home alone and was on the phone with my mom, and as I walked into the kitchen I saw this person wearing a baseball hat ducking behind the window. I was really freaked out, and left the kitchen and didn’t reply to my mom’s question for a long time. Then they stood back up (I was sort of watching from another room) and went out to our street, got in a van and drove away. I finally realized that it had been a meter reader, but I was still pretty nervous.
175- Me also, but the way our house is built you can’t see who’s at the door unless you look out the wavy-glass next to our front door or the big picture window that they could probably see through also. Very irritating.

Hey, what if we had a thread where we started at, say, the year 1769, and took the story of the American Revolution and lived it out from there? We could choose our side (Tory or Whig), and write journals, and interact on the streets, and do all sorts of stuff. It wouldn’t be like an RRR, or anything, but just for fun! What do you say?

COOOOLLLLL now me is excited. *digs out american history books* aw man all I have is a dear america about pearl harbor.
I just thought of an idea for a thread. this might be lame but i’m not sure. It’s like writing theme with variations but it’s short answer.basicaly one person would go : “This is an apple” and the everyone would think of a problem that the apple could cause such as: “Thanks Eve, *bites into the apple* God?” does that make sense?

in September 16th, 2007 @ 13:18Hi all!
I’m going to post about marching band at Cicero later today. It was a lot different than last time, and quite enjoyable. If the GAPAs want, they could make a marching band thread so Ebeth and I don’t have to keep posting in the random thread and diverting conversation, but I don’t particularly mind posting here.
Right now I’m going to do homework and hopefully get enough done that I’m allowed to go to see a trombone ensemble at 3. Which means leaving MB now. I don’t know if there’s even time to get homework done first. Anyway, bye, ttyl.

in September 16th, 2007 @ 14:16This morning I found what I believe to be a poorly constructed Molotov cocktail in the driveway. It was a glass bottle scorched around the mouth with a dry-looking rag inside. Apparently some drunken wastrels from the bar down the street tried to make one and set my driveway on fire but the glass bottle failed to break. The fact that my driveway is made of gravel probably helped. Or perhaps it was some kids from my school. Either way, they were consummate idiots.

But yeah, I’ve had a good weekend. I went to Taylor’s house Friday night for her birthday and had fun. My first football game went great. I wasn’t playing football, obviously. I was there with the band. Our team lost 28-0, which is to be expected since the visitors were number two in the state and we…aren’t. xD And then we went to the Eddie From Ohio concert which was great. Except this morning I woke up with a cold. And I have band rehearsal in an hour and it’s cold outside. (Sort of.)

in September 16th, 2007 @ 16:06Ohmygod my weekend was the best ever.
Here’s what happened:
Friday- I pick up my best friend and go home where we hang out and one of my favorite shows has been recorded. So we watch a little tv, hang out, talk, you know. Then we go to my old school’s football game, where I see a tonnn of my friends and get bombarded with hugs and friendliness and get a lot of compliments on my hair/jacket…. but I get to see sooo many of my friends and one of the friends who I didn’t get to see texted me saying she wished she could be there when she found out I was there. We won the game 41:6, which is unbelievable cus our team blows hard. Also, I kept wishing we would get one more point for an even 42.Saturday- Go to the mall with Alison and my mom. My mom ends up buying me two pairs of shoes (yay!) and Jamba Juice alllll around! Then I go to B’s (for everyone who doesn’t read R&R, B is my crush and friend) house, and see a lot more friends. Like, people who I didn’t see at the game. So that was a lot of fun…. there was Guitar Hero 3 (omg love), and pizza, and B imitations (“B2, you’re a bad girlfriend! -twitch–sunglasses- I’m a ninjew! I’ll use my jewdoo powers!” [b2= friend of mine who was there])
so when I got home, like half an hour later he came on (everyone had left) and asked me to homecoming!!!!!!!!okay. yayyyy
fantastic bloody weekend.

in September 16th, 2007 @ 16:13206- Molotov cocktails are cool in theory, but they are incredibly dangerous. Fire oughtn’t to be messed around with. This comes from a guy whose field was set on fire several years ago during spring break and who had to try and beat it out with a shovel until the fire department arrived. We never caught the punks who did it. Seriously, though: pyromania may sound fun, but it is not the way to go.

in September 16th, 2007 @ 16:41I have been thinking about previous comments posted. PC was a large chunk of what MB has been to me, along with a few other people, that I could consider my MB-friends, yet I never actually knew them. Also, if I left, what kind of reaction would I make among other MBers? What have I appeared as to all of you? Who considers me a MB-friend? Am I still a noob? If I leave now, how many people on MB will remember me as a distinct part of MB? The mind wanders…I want to know other peoples answers…[/Questioning] In other news…

I never was a big fan of pyromania. Maybe I spent too much of my childhood in northern California. I’m kind of scared of fire. I wouldn’t light a match until I was nine or ten.

in September 16th, 2007 @ 17:36211-
Wow. Here, I’ll answer those in order:
1) I’m honestly not sure what my reaction would be. You’re not such an integral part of my favorite threads that it would make it impossible to continue with stuff, but I would miss you. But I wouldn’t notice your absence in the same way I would notice some people’s, because on the long list of my favorite threads, only a few of them are threads that you frequently visit. If you left with a bang for an indefinite amount of time, I would be sad.
2) A normal Muser, albeit a Muse-deprived one, who happens to like writing rather gory things and doesn’t hang out a lot on my threads, but who is cool nonetheless.
3) I do!
4) No. I don’t think you are, anyway.
5) I think I would. When I think of the MBers, a list of people pops into my mind. You are on that list.

PC’s Departure

ooh, a marching band thread would be spiffy.
i’m a pyro, but a moderate one. I set off fireworks and stuff, but i’m generally not stupid about it, and try to talk some of my stupid friends out of the more ridiculous stuff.
So i really like a lot of my songs that start with B. I’m almost done with the B’s now. I know that’s not exactly far in, but so far i’d have to say the B’s are my fav letter.

oxlin widdershins
in September 16th, 2007 @ 18:11211- I’ve been wondering the same sort of things. I’m not sure if I’d notice your absence as much as I do Penty’s or Morbid’s (though Penty didn’t leave she just doesn’t go here much and Morbid didn’t leave she just doesn’t come here except on her birthday) I would miss you though. I consider you a friend but we are sort of seperated MB generation wise enough. I would definately miss you and notice and be saddened by your absence. Oddly, I remember you better as Gimanator. You would definately be on my MBer list as Alice put it.
(off topic of reply to your post) You don’t get Muse? You should!What would peoples reaction be if I left? Gosh, I’ve been here for years, since Dec 03 or so in the gaboomba era. Am I an MB friend? Or am I one of the people you see around, think of as an MBer but am not really in your closer friend circle? Just curious, as I, man-gator (can’t stop thinking of you as gimanator…) said.
As for my name. I *am* Oxlin but feel free to call me e~a if that’s what you’re used to. or widdershins if you’d like. Of course, my real life name is none of those.

211- I would miss you soooooooo much. like actually, i’m not kidding. You’re such a big part of my MB now, basicaly because… actualy i have no idea…. you post a lot(?) I think you’re pretty cool. you aren’t a noob, you post too much to be a noob. i consider you an MBfriend. I think of you as a distinct mart of MB.
218- It would be weird if you left I would be all “Where did e~a go?” I think of you more as a ‘role model’ or ‘person I look up to’ than a friend. it’s like youre a senior in the company and I’m a lowly intern…..or something along those lines. you are very much respected by me.What would people feel like if I left (not that I’m going to, i’m too adicted)? does anyone consider me an MBfriend?(don’t feel pressured to say yes.) What kind of an impression have I made on you guys? am I a distinct part of MB?

Alice -Face it. You are MB. Every MBer looks up to you, even if they’re older. You post on nearly every thread. You post more than me. And that’s actually saying something, based on past patterns. If I do post, you’re usually the first to respond. I can count on you.
Kagomix-Again, I wish you would post a bit more, but I am getting to know you better. Like all other MBers I would be really sad if you left, so please don’t.
Every MBer is a distinct part of MB. yet, the more you post, the more we know about you guys.
Again, thank you all for your support, I feel a lot more comftarble(misspelled, could you fix that, Alice?). Oh, heck-I’ll go back to GImanator. You can Take I, man-gator off my Identity lists, GAPAs…

in September 16th, 2007 @ 21:52Lady Cinnamon – I posted earlier this morning in response to your question about me, but my comment must have been sucked up by the wordpress gremlins. I’m here, but I post more often on weekend than during the week, because of homework. I seem to be doing a lot of lurking, though, because I often find nothing insightful to say.
I, man-gator: I definitely consider you a part of MuseBlog, and would miss you if you left. Though, I don’t seem to go on the same threads as you, you’re a dedicated MBer and definitely make up this great community.
I definitely have a smaller circle of MBers who I feel I know more and would miss more, but everyone who posts regularly (or used to post regularly) is a big part of MuseBlog, and it would be weird without everyone.
Like when MG left, it was really weird because, obviously, she wasn’t there anymore, and it was like an empty space.
THF and I often talk about the MBers we would most like to meet. It’s fun
Would people miss me?

I feel that nobody can ever be too old for a place where they can tell anecdotal stories to complete strangers. They’ll be back. Why do you think I keep coming back? Because I can whine as much as I want and nothing will come of it.
Except when vicious, backstabbing traitors rat me out. Don’t worry though- I will find them. I will then bide my time and when the opportunity arises, I will retaliate with the savage ferocity of a wounded bear. I suspect they knew this would probably happen, which is why they decided to hide behind the cowardly screen of anonymity.
I will continue to talk about that until it has been resolved.

Alice of the Blackberries
in September 16th, 2007 @ 22:07Kagy- I consider you a friend, and you are a distinct part of MB. For a very long time I didn’t know you very well but sometime about a month or two ago I started to get to know you better, and now I most certainly consider you a friend. If you left I’d be confused and sad and start wondering where you were and stalking you to make sure you weren’t dead. Or perhaps not to that extreme. I’ll leave the stalking to Ebeth, but I would try to find your comics eventually.
225- You are indeed on that list. Just because I don’t always reply to your posts and a lot of your ideas aren’t accepted doesn’t mean I don’t notice you.
226- Don’t leave!
227- Aw, gee, thanks, Momo. Not all of that is technically true, but it makes me happy.
229- Because you’re a cool person. You’re not always terribly *nice*, to be completely honest, but no one is, and I don’t really care, honestly.
230- Why exactly are people trying to light your driveway on fire? It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. It seems a rather joyless goal.
234- (Ooh, you have a nice post number; I always love that kind) It’s nice to know I’m loved.
It’s kind of weird, though, to be thought of as a role model or something. A bit disturbing, actually.

in September 17th, 2007 @ 05:13I’ve been feeling a bit… lurker-ish(?) lately, and I tend to read posts more then I actually post. Of course, there was a period of about a week where I couldn’t go on the computer because I hadn’t cleaned my room yet (That ended on Thursday). So I think that while people know of me, I’m not the person they’d choose if they could only meet one MBer in real life.
On a brighter note, my Global teacher asked on the first day of school: “What did your father smell like if your mother was a hamster?”. I felt very proud to know the answer.
I also finally watched an episode of the Flying Circus, where the normal people are turned into Scots-people, and I am fervently hoping that it is not considered offensive to people from Scotland, because I found it quite amusing. My father says, however, that I would appreciate some of the humor even more if I grew up with the BBC. Seeing as I didn’t, however, well, oh well.And I was going to put that on the Monty Python thread, but it was closed.

alice, it was funny to read your comment about friends (238) because my mom is convinced that all you guys are online stalkers and i should be spending my time talking to real people that i’ll actually meet. i told her about the kokonvention, but she seems to have forgotten that.
wow, everyone’s talk is so depressing, everybody’s leaving. 218- penty left?!?! or sort of? aww, that’s sad. she’s cool.

in September 17th, 2007 @ 11:14(248) How could we forget someone named “killerchipmunk”? Bienvenue! Ça fait plaisir de te revoir.
One of the difficulties of a close community — absences are the more keenly felt. A couple of MBers took temporary leave, and the blog is trying to adjust to the loss.
On the other hand, a small group like this one is all the more cheered when old friends find their way back. Many veteran MBers stopped by during the summer and will likely visit again once school settles in, if history is any guide. Some, like Gwendolyn and Grant O., have made more visible reappearances of late.
Maybe if you showed your mom pictures from the kokonvention….

And now, the question that everybody is asking, and that I have wanted to ask for a long time: Am I an important part of MB? What do you think of me as an MBer? You can be as brutally honest as you want, I want to hear it.
Good news, bad news time. Both the good and bad news is the fact that I am completely addicted to MB, and since I started reading other people’s post, I decided I had to post. Why is this bad news? Because I am addicted. I know I need to take a break, and stop getting so emotionally involved in conversations with people I have never met. But I can’t take a break, because whenever I start reading comments, I feel the need to post. Any advice?

238- thanks, I’d stalk you too if you left. just to make sure you hadn’t died. in february I started posting but then I think I stopped and then, this summer I came back and got so adicted it’s not funny.

Kagy, though you (and probably no one else either) don’t have as many posts as Alice, I do see you around as a part of MB and as a friend.

in September 17th, 2007 @ 17:24I definitely agree that absences in a close/small-group of people are more noticed. And really, MuseBlog wouldn’t be the same without everyone, and I don’t even want to think about what would happen if I had to leave, or if MuseBlog shut down or something (in which case, I would probably die).
THF and I talk about how much of our lives it has become…and it’s great because you always know you have flamablamablous friends all the time, with whom you can have both intelligent and silly discussions. But also, it’s kind of strange to see how obsessed you are with something, especially something that isn’t as trustworthy (internet vs. real physical life) like the internet. But still, it’s such a fantastic place and I love it so much
…I can see Robert thinking “These kids are crazy,” because he was saying at the Kokonvention that some people are too serious about MB and need to go outside a little… Robert – I would be outside right now, (with my computer) but it’s quite cold.

Alice of the Blackberries
in September 17th, 2007 @ 18:41235- I would most definitely miss you. You were the first person to pie me, actually. (Nice as it would be, I don’t remember that. I saw it when I looked at the first thread I posted on.) I didn’t actually feel like I knew you till SF, though.
I don’t talk to Opal about MB a lot, but I think far too much about which MuseBloggers I would want to meet, and in what circumstances. It’s sort of interesting to see the different imaginary kokons I plan depending on who was attending.
236- What are you talking about? *bewildered*
237- Mm. True, you sort of fade into the background, but when you do come out I like to hear what you have to say. I think it would be fun to meet you, espcially in a bookstore. Or a library.
I’ve never seen that Monty Python skit.
248- Actually, I am a stalker. Not an online one, and not an evil one, but I am a stalker. I’m really bad at it, too. I can’t find the girl I’m supposed to be stalking. I think I’m sort of getting it down, though. She reminds me of what I always thought Shadowkat would be like, before seeing the kokon pictures.
I did wonder vaguely where you were, but I never really knew you well enough to “miss” you. Only I guess I did miss you, seeing as I started to wonder what happened to you…
252- Blog thing? Maybe I should search MB.
Yes, I would miss you.
253- Agreed.
254- I held out as long as I could, but there’s definitely a spark of vanity in me, and I wanted to know what people’s perceptions of me were. I’d be just as happy to know someone hated me as I would be to know someone looked up to me. Of course, then I would pry even deeper.
256- I know, it’s AWFUL. I find it so hard not to post. Little laptop computers with touchpads help, though.
259- On MB? That’s sad, Kagy. Really sad.
Just kidding. I understand completely.Okay, so it’s still a bit pathetic, and yes, ironic, but I would probably be one of the addict, so I shouldn’t say that.
261- What! *gives long lectures about how she walks to school every day, uphill both ways, in the snow* Not really. But I do walk into town a lot.
I actually think, in a blasphemous way, that it would be good for us MB shut down. However, I would be horrified and miserable if it did, so I hope it won’t.
Freshman Transitions was actually FUN today. We had to draw shapes without looking at the paper except in a mirror. It was really hard.

in September 17th, 2007 @ 19:00253- I’m terribly flattered to be grouped with the Man of the Chair, even if it is by such a loose categorization as returning. Makes me feel all special.
IMPORTANT TO GWEN’S WARPED INNER PSYCHE
Would anybody miss me if I left? I doubt it, as I’m not the most incredible blogger that ever lived. I’d like to think somebody would occasionally go “hey, what happened to Gwen?”, though. I miss the Skipper, Penty, and Otzi very much. Such wonderful bloggers. Oh, emogrl, too. She had irrepressible wit, and I lurved it.
My younger sister has a fever of 104.7 from a virus that’s going around here. Poor little thing… she’s only four.

And we would rescue you, of course.
And that would be good for us because we would finally get outside.
Except for that little matter of MB no longer being around for communication.
Yes, that plan has flaws. Try not to get kidnapped, GAPAs dear.

273- Oh yeah. Sorry, I forgot.
You are an important part of MB, as is everyone, but you don’t post so much that I feel like I know you really well. I’d like to know you better, but you don’t say much. You’re just a figure sitting at one end of the table, engrossed in your homework/book/magazine, occasionally joining in a heated debate, sometimes getting up and leaving for a short time, and every so often coming out of your world to ask a question or two and say something and then drifting back into yourself.
I love envisioning the blog as a big room with a round table in the middle and all sorts of couches and bookshelves and desks all around. It’s so much fun to imagine where everyone is sitting. Not necessarily with a “center of the conversation”, but more going by personality and mood. Most of the time I would sit in a big armchair off to the side of the table a little, with a big book, and talk from there (I don’t get much reading done), but I would get up and join random conversations, or move over to sit somewhere else if there was something interesting going on.
Woah. Got a little carried away there. Anyway, where do you think you would sit?

in September 17th, 2007 @ 20:30I feel so left out all of a sudden. People 50 posts back are being curious and asking questions and not even considering that I should be there. Not my fault that I have something after school pretty much every day. And high school’s harder.
I will, eventually, write about Cicero. I’m sure you’re all dying to find out. (:)) Right now I still have homework. This is a break after 45 minutes of practicing my seating audition for concert band.
I’m an important part of the blog, right? Haven’t I passed some sort of one year mark where I become part of the MuseBlog scenery…?

in September 17th, 2007 @ 21:07jeeshers people, i would miss you ALL. Every single person here is a part of the blog, and there will always be a hole when somebody leaves, whether it’s after a week or a year. The museblog is naturally inclusive, and it really feels like people become members after their third or fourth post (or perhaps their welcome pie :D) And when people do decide to leave, the blog does go on, but there’s always something missing. (Yes, even with fridgey)
Ooh, i’d probably be sitting around awkwardly trying to listen to three or four conversations at once, and maybe commenting once or twice. Either that or over in Alice’s book corner
If there’s a window, i’ll be near it. I’d probably be listening to music too. I’d be in the Barefoot Club (w00t rebecca!) and probably be curled up in a big, squishy chair. Either that or jumping around, depending on how hyper i am Bill had her trenchcoat today, so we played Trenchcoat Tag at lunch. Trenchcoat Tag is where you tag the person with the trenchcoat, and then they take it off and you put it on. Everybody has to stay where they are while you put it on, and then you start running around again. It works best with less people. It’s usually me, bill, and michelle

in September 17th, 2007 @ 21:09272 (Robert) – what new features come with the new wordpress software?
282 (Robert) – why only 4 Muse Academy houses? That seems strange – what are the houses? If I were creating Muse Academy houses, I would have 9 – one for each Muse!
And while we’re talking about how much we love other MBers and such, I would like to take time to appreciate our flamablamablously amazing GAPAs.
THF and I were talking today (yes, basically the only thing we talk about is MuseBlog, we’re really that obsessed), and we were talking about who inspires us most/is our “hero” type person. (Well, the conversation didn’t start as a MB conversation, but soon migrated there). And as we were thinking, I thought about how Robert is really someone who inspires me and such – you/he is just so cool and fantastic and brilliant, and everything like that. Also, Robert has a supercool career, and works for Muse, which is what I want to do when I “grow up.” And, well, he’s just a really amazing person
Other GAPAs – you’re flamablamablous too, you just weren’t our current topic of conversation.

Thanks for the extremely kind and most affecting words, by the way.

in September 17th, 2007 @ 21:31Yes, I kind of figured that 4 houses were common, but I was thinking there would be one for each Muse, (sorry, I forgot about the GAPAs), and I thought it was strange because some of the Muses would be left out. But I DEFINITELY think the GAPAs deserve to have the houses named after them. After all, they practically founded it
Could we have a Muse Academy thread? We could formulate a curriculum and discuss houses, etc. – it would be fun!
I wonder which house I would be in…what do people think?
I have to say, this has been one of the most focused-topic random threads I have ever seen in MuseBlog history. Which, I counted yesterday, has been 19 months (of my MB time). That seems like so little…

in September 17th, 2007 @ 22:25(284, 305) Have either of you tried roasted okra? It is amazing. Like no other okra I’ve ever had. Not the teensiest bit slimy either.
I toss the okra lightly with oil, vinegar, and some dried herbs (whatever is handy, I especially like the mix called herbes de Provence) then roast them at 450 degrees about 10 minutes. Asparagus does well that way, too (adjusting time depending on how skinny the stalks are).

in September 17th, 2007 @ 22:45308- I heat up some olive oil in a frying pan, keeping a lid close by. I then put the okra, which I have chopped into pieces as long as the last joint on my middle finger, into it, along with whatever else I may be cooking (possibilities include potatoes or chicken). I lightly salt the ensemble, cover it, and turn down the heat before it spits and stings. After it has been cooked to my taste, I put it on a plate and sprinkle hot sauce over it. Delicious. We grow our own okra, but last year the rabbits ate the stalks so we didn’t get any.

USEGO (311): Sounds delish, especially with the hot sauce.
I forgot to mention, I sprinkle cayenne pepper and salt on the okra/veggie mix just before eating. And for a special bonus (don’t read this, vegetarians) I dice smoked ham and mix that in during the sauteeing phase. It’s from humanely raised pigs, so I don’t feel grossed out and guilty. It’s so good — I’ve been eating this okra dish nearly every day for the past two weeks!

Yesterday in Sociology we were talking about organ theft. It made that demmed sympathetic reaction my nervous system does kick in. So I lay on the floor for about five minutes. I was told I turned a shade of green, which some people had never seen before. This made me wonder: what color do I usually turn? Once before I was told I got really pale, which didn’t surprise me.

in September 18th, 2007 @ 17:06Okay. In French class today we played a game where everyone had a name tag only they didn’t know who was on it (they were all celebrities that everyone’d previously written on there) I was some guy in the Office which I’d never seen. Of course, everyone had to gape and say “you haven’t *heard* of him?!?” That really annoys me. I didn’t write down Jane Yolen because I wanted to write down someone that everyone would know. Tom Cruise would be a much better answer than the guy from the Office because he’s been in many more mainstream movies than just one tv show. I guess it’s not just this situation either; it’s people’s faces when they find out I haven’t seen Disney’s Beauty and the Beast or Disney’s The Little Mermaid though I know both stories. Just because something is mainstream doesn’t mean that absolutely everyone has seen it and just because someone hasn’t seen/heard of something doesn’t mean you need to gape at them and say “OMG OMG HOW have you not seen that? EVERYONE has!!! You must be some sort of outcast….”
I hate that.

‘Who be this ruthless force for wickedness in the universe?’ ye may ask. Clowns. They must be stopped!”I think a much better question is this one right here. Which would win- Pirates or Norsemen?

in September 18th, 2007 @ 18:48280- I’m an angry child. Don’t take it personally.
Hm… I’d be engrossed in my TIME magazine, ranting inchoerently about world issues every now and again. Lying on my stomach near a window. It’d be a rainy window, and I would be on the carpet. Wehn I grew bored with reading TIME, I’d move on to Muse, and then I would set about the room with my hair gewgaws, committing cosmetological atrocities to any MBer whose hair was long enough. And I wouldn’t warn you. I’d just randomly come behind you and start messing with it.

in September 18th, 2007 @ 19:12275 ~ Your description of Traggle sounds like me mostly. I would be off to the side, maybe lying on a rug, reading a book and maybe listening to some music, but every once in a while sitting up to add my two cents. Maybe somewhere near c+q to make her explain various mathematical-ish things that I don’t understand. xD (My high school does have a math team btw. I don’t know if I can go to the meeting though…) In real life I would be like that half the time and bouncing around trying to talk to everyone the other half. I’m not so great at that online though. Heh.
281 ~ You’re the person I know best on MB and we seem to have a ton in common so I would definitely miss you a lot if you left, although I’m sure we’d still bump into each other at band competitions! xD
everyone else ~ Since I’ve been away a lot, I don’t know a lot of you all that well and I’m sure the same is true about me for you guys for the same reason, but I always enjoy reading your posts and every person who leaves does leave an empty niche in such a close-knit group as this.
284 ~ I can usually follow a recipe but I can barely do anything in the kitchen without instructions.
303 ~ I was just thinking not even fifteen seconds ago that someone should do that. :D
312 ~ I really wanted to see that but…I didn’t. I guess it’s still in theatres but I doubt I’ll have time before it’s gone.
319 and other weather comments ~ It’s been cold here but it’s getting warmer. I have mixed feelings about this.
323 ~ When I get bad migraines I turn pale and greenish and start throwing up. Thankfully that’s only happened two or three times.
324 ~ Never seen The Office either. Although I’ve heard of Steve Carell if that’s who it was (the only person that I know is on the Office).

AACCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!! Geez, gone for two days and look what happit’s just that we don’t hang out on the same threads. I do think that I would notice your absence, though, so you must have become part of the scenery sometime or other!
Just kidding. You’re a lot more than scenery, c+q.
282- Sweet!
283- This is going to lose me my place as Amazing Juggler of Hundreds of RRRs and Reviver of Dead Stories, but – I think you should leave them alone. They died ages ago; why do we need to stir them up again?
284- Splendid! I love okra.
I made an onion-less stir-fry once.
286- I’ve thought of it as that, too, but it doesn’t seem as cozy.
303- Ooh! Fun! A quiz!
315- Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm………..
Re: Okra = slim. I’ve only had fresh okra. Provided it was okra at all, which I am beginning to doubt.
323- Sounds unpleasant. I don’t believe I have ever turned green.
325- Oh NO! Lyme disease! *sends more chocolate to help you get better*
332- But do these followers read Muse? I’m deeply disturbed by the recruiting of MuseBloggers who haven’t read Muse.
335- Don’t you TOUCH my hair, Gwen. NO ONE can touch my hair.
I am very mad because they don’t play any music worth hearing (IMHO) at school dances.

I said I was bothered by people assuming I’d seen it and gaping at me when they found out I hadn’t. And I’ve seen a bit of Office Space (the only reason I hadn’t seen all was that I had to leave the place where they were showing it, my friend’s house that is) and I liked it.

in September 19th, 2007 @ 15:02Red-tailed HAWK! Oh no! I’ve been paranoid about getting lyme disease ever since I first heard about it. But it seems like you’re okay…? *pies with medicine pie*
I’d be reading, or perhaps talking with people, if I had gotten over my shyness. Then, I would be laughing. I had a dream a llloooooooooong time ago that I went to a bad boarding school, and then a nice councilor came, and had me transfer to Muse Academy (That looked suprisingly like Hogwarts). And I was so excited, and then we all went on a boat to a gigantic library. I was really upset, then, when I woke up, because it was a dream. I can’t remember why I didn’t share this on MB earlier. Maybe I did…

I’ve forgotten which issue the article on the Caltech pranks was in. The article involved ‘stacking’ and the line If at all possible involve a cow. I believe one of the pictures associated with it is a pyramid wrapped in hieroglyphics and surrounded by students with books. It is hand drawn. That is all I can remember about it.
I don’t think it was in the last year.

Alice
in September 19th, 2007 @ 22:05I would dearly love to impose my logic upon my PE teacher. I’m not brave enough, though. She’d probably give me a stern answer and an F.
So, in lieu of actually telling her what I would like to tell her, I will tell you guys what I would like to tell her about her fitness-focused PE classes.
I would say something like this:
“Mrs M., why do are we focusing on fitness? If we just played active games more, then we would get the same amount of exercise as if we ran a mile every day, and more people would enjoy the class. And if more people enjoyed the class, then more people would show up, and if more people showed up, then more people would get good grades and you wouldn’t have to fail as many people. And more people would like you, and your PE class would go down in history as the one PE class that everyone enjoyed, and everyone would be happier. Anyone who takes your health class is going to learn about fitness anyway. So why don’t we just play a game?”You can see why I would never say that, but hopefully you can also see why I wish I could.

That’s a lot of bread.
I’m really tired, even though I get out of school early on Thursdays. This may account for my (presumedly) rather morose/glazed look that makes everyone who sees my expression ask if I’m okay. Yes! I’m okay!
Presumedly is not a word, according to spellcheck, but it’s the only one that fits. I can’t see my expression, and I’m really only going on people’s reactions.

in September 20th, 2007 @ 21:30397/399- Good luck! Performance is always fun.
398- Yes, you do have to explain. I did wonder where you were, and the reluctance to do so promises an interesting story.
<trombone and band>
So, I’ll write about Cicero instead of practicing my seating audition because I’m tired. GAPAs, I’m a little unsure what level I should censor this to. I don’t put our school’s name, but I have other school’s and people’s names in there, and somewhat unique competition details.
Got there around 8:45ish, put away garment bag and bag and pretty much everything except trombone, dot book, and water in cafeteria A. Practiced like we would any day until 11:something (lost the paper I wrote all this down on), then we got our stuff and went on the buses. They were coach buses. It was a four hour drive. We did go to a rest stop on the way there. Two meals were eaten in the bus. I sat next to penguini. We played chess with her portable board. I won one game (by the way, we’re both really bad at chess) and the second it depends on the scoring, either she won or it was a draw.Then we played Uno with us and Vinayik, who was in a nearby seat. We ignored the movies being played. I think I listened to music for an hour or so, too. Once there, we changed into full uniforms (it was kind of cold) and looked around the field and practiced some stuff. It was a turf field, it was very bright green and flat. We went on at 8 pm. It almost passed in a dreamlike state for me. Not that it felt surreal or like someone else was doing it, but in the third part I remember being surprised we’d gotten this far. It was easier then I expected, the field was very nice as I’ve said, I liked not having to worry about the elevation changes our practice field has (the new turf field at home will be done next week!). I had been slightly cold before, I was slightly warm after, but even after was nothing compared to what it had been like before we started marching at the football game. Then we talked, got more water (the band parents, I think, had provided water bottles that we shared), watched the home band play their show (not bad, slower than ours and I think a little less tricky moves). Then there were awards. There were six bands in our category (national, for big schools as I understand it) and we got second. **** beat us by two or three points (as I recall, we got a 79.6 and they got 82.something). Then we changed out of uniforms the way we had into them (on the bus, obviously segregated by gender) and drove four hours home. At one point they played the show for us, it looked good but the screen was so tiny I couldn’t find myself even when I knew the formations. I listened to music (especially some Coldplay songs Jadestone had recently sent) and tried to sleep the whole way back. No luck. Then, almost in a daze, I gathered my belongings and found a parent, at slightly past two in the morning. Talking to mom on the drive home, she said **** had a slower show and an easier one, but they did with the colorguard. (Our theme is Color Series, we sometimes pass through the colorguard and once spin as their flags go up. Their theme is The Flight of Icarus, reportedly the costumes have wings. Not fair. Our colorguard costumes were late, they hadn’t even come in yet. You can’t take off points for that!)Anyway, that was Cicero. Next is Johnstown, on Yom Kippur. I think we’re the only band in our category there, we should do well.
In other random news: Dad says that maybe after marching season is over in November or December, we can take his trombone to the instrument place and get the slide undented and it maybe refinished so it’s shiny again and a new non-moldy case so I can use it better for concert band in school. Joy! * In concert band our section needs to find a way to put up a shelf in the communal locker. People who don’t have convenient real lockers are using it for that purpose and while that’s OK and there’s much space at the top, there’s only room for the 4 trombones to fit standing up on the bottom. * We had a marching band sectional on Wednesday. It was very fun but I’ll be sensitive to the fact that we have elementary-school-aged bloggers here and not repeat the best parts, which are definitely not appropriate. * Marching band on Thursdays is not fun. I’m so not in the mood to march for the last hour. I never could quite get the hang of Thursdays.

in September 20th, 2007 @ 21:50My feet are very cold. My toes are practically numb. WHY? WHY? WHY must it be so cold in September?
I should probably study for the Health test tomorrow or clean my room or something, but my feet are too cold to move, so there.
Tomorrow is the fun day! We have Science (bottle rockets), Acting, Frehsman Trans (two thumbs way down), and Spanish (easy but fun). A 75% score isn’t too bad, and better than Thursday’s and Tuesday’s 50% score.
Oh, I should go compose my outfit for tomorrow. Will that get me out of my chair? Noooooooooo…
We have a housewarming party on Saturday. Wheefun. Especially if B can come.
My house really needs warming, too.Speaking of friends, one of these days I am going to ride the L bus with K and go hang out downtown and maybe go get a wasabi-ginger-ale from my mother’s work. Mmmm.

in September 21st, 2007 @ 06:44ungh… I’ve got a nasty bug. Probably the flu. Every year I get the flu at least twice. I’m the only one in my family who gets it.
I couldn’t sleep and I am insanely bored.
402- yom kippur starts today funfun fun. Luckily, since I’ve been sick I don’t have to fast. Though now that I think about it, I’d prefer fasting to being sick.

in September 21st, 2007 @ 19:12404 ~ You’re going to be at my competition tomorrow I think. You guys are competing about 45 minutes after us. I’m not sure if we’re staying after we’re done though, as we certainly won’t be receiving awards since it’s our first competition and our band isn’t as competitive (well, that’s a euphemism. I mean good. You got a 79.6 in your first show. Well, according to our band boosters website, last year we got a 76.3 in our last show, and that was the highest score) as yours anyway. Based on what time we’re supposed to get home though I’d say we’ll be there. Maybe I’ll see you.
Why are all the schools getting new turf except us? You guys are and the place where the competition is tomorrow is…our football field is pretty nice though. I think. (The turf is springy! Hehe!) But yeah, we had all these rumours going around that the -c+q’s school- invitational was going to be at our field since you’re getting new turf. But…it’s not. We’re having our own invitational in two years or something.Our team actually won a football game last night. A landslide victory of 13-10. :’D

oxlin widdershins
in September 21st, 2007 @ 22:09I can help too. I went to an immersion school and am pretty fluent and in Spanish six. Do you need other tenses? differences between ser/estar (ser is permanent; estar is not. You would say “Eres muy bonita” and not “Estas muy bonita.” because prettiness (suposedly, well you don’t want to indicate that someone fluctuates between pretty and ugly a lot…) is permanent.
Spelling: the letters usually sound the same way all of the time (they don’t change sounds like in English) If you are having trouble with accents in spelling think about the difference between papa (potato) and papá (father, dad). Papa is pronounced with no emphasis on any part (pa-pa). Papá on the other hand is pronounced with an accent (hence the term accent mark I suppose) on the last “pa” sound (pa-PA).
err… If you want more specific help just ask. I explained two random things I could think of that you might be having troubles with. Good luck! I hope you pass!
leer- to read
ci̩ncia Рscience
arte- art
escribir – to write
jugar f̼tbol Рto play soccer
jugar béisbol- to play baseball
tocar un instrumento – to play an instrument

in September 21st, 2007 @ 22:42Ah! Spanish! I like Spanish. Speaking of which, I need to do my Spa. HW sometime before next Friday. Ooh, big pressure.
We had our first acting assignment today. Basically, we played ourselves in a highly abbreviated version of a school period.
We had to walk onto stage, sit in one of the two desks, switch desks, raise our hand and be ignored, and walk off stage. We all had our backpacks with paper and pen and stuff to help, and it was much fun.
If I ever become a raving lunatic, blame my sister.
