in September 22nd, 2007 @ 09:27Apparently, the hot pink bunnies have invaded the pirate ship of Muse, and the Muses are taking revenge!

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 09:59(1, 4, 5, 6) Thanks. I think of this picture as a prequel to the last one.
Or, depending on one’s outlook, an antidote.

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 10:50That is a rather nice image. Especially since I find the Hot Pink Bunnies odd in any case. I think I have the issue where they first appeared. I have lots of old Muses. I have ones like the one on sewers and mazes. Others, however, have been lost to the ravages of time. I think I received the second issue of Muse ever as my first, the one on slaughterhouses and vegetarians.
I have to work tonight. How lovely that will be. I think, just to make it interesting, I’ll affect an English accent while on the job.

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 13:3010- I’ve many ancient ones too, mine, alas, only start with the first issue of ’99 and are missing the future creatures issue (I *need* to get that one) as my freshman bio student teacher actually *lost* it! aaaah! lost a precious Muse! That upset me greatly.
Whee! I get to go to the renaissance fair tomorrow! ^_^

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 13:5516- You are SO lucky. :jealous:
My collection of Muses seemed to dwindle as the years went by. I have about two old issues, maybe three if I went to the country house and searched thoroughly. ‘Tis sad, I know. My old issue(s?) are missing their covers, too.

Glassboro
in September 22nd, 2007 @ 14:02Yes, that could be because older bloggers aren’t posting as much because there are too many people here now.

Alice
in September 22nd, 2007 @ 14:1514,18- I’ve noticed a correspondence between the lack of posts on other threads and an enormous amount of posts on the random thread. I think that it’s less that not as many “experienced” people are posting and more that everyone’s using one main thread.
Glassboro- There are less active people than there used to be, if you ask me. It’s just that a few newbies suddenly showed up and they don’t always use correct punctuation or spelling. Or perhaps they’re who you mean by “people”…?

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 15:10Great picture! My favorite this month.

Musicman841, that guy who constantly lurks and scarcely posts
in September 22nd, 2007 @ 15:15And therefore, I’m ending up reading other people’s posts to catch up, and then ending up not having time to make posts of my own. See my name. It will probably change back to normal on Christmas Break, where I will have time to contribute more. Sorry for the double post.:???:

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 15:38(14, 18, 19) Now that many established MBers have acquired one another’s e-mail addresses, it’s also possible that they’re communicating with one another directly rather than posting on the blog.

oxlin widdershins
in September 22nd, 2007 @ 15:5323- that doesn’t really happen. True, there are a few MBers that I communicate with through IM but it is usually more like conversation with an off blog friend. And I only use email for story and poem feedback. I don’t see that much off blog blog-like communication. Really, the blog is the best way to talk.

Alice
in September 22nd, 2007 @ 16:0323- Oooh, how awful. *pouts* Actually they all my email if they search around enough, as I have theirs, but some of them don’t want my email because they don’t know me personally, and I am honoring that very exclusive decision. :huffy:
That’s still an extraordinarily touchy subject for me. I had no idea. *marvels*
It shouldn’t be, since I’ve actually been bugging Kiki about Terraformed through email, knowing that she doesn’t come on the blog an awful lot and probably checks her email more.
The double standard is painful. I will now change the subject.
I have been cleaning house all day, in preparation for the housewarming party this evening.

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 16:04Oooh, I like this pic!!
I just have been really, really busy. As have probably many of the older bloggers, espcally the juniors/seniors what with collage coming soon and all.
Already had a quad (tennis tournament thing with 4 teams) this morning, and hockey later tonight though I may not go. Got more sunburn, ahg.

Alice
in September 22nd, 2007 @ 16:07As clarification, Kiki and I haven’t been having actual conversations. It goes more like this:
Me: Have you heard from Romana yet?
Kiki: No.-A week passes-
Me: Have you heard from Romana yet?
Kiki: No.-Repeat-
Although yesterday she did say that Romana had written and said that she was swamped but would get to it ASAP. So anyone on here who still cares about that story, there you have it.

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 16:2823 (Robert) – I don’t think that’s happening…well, actually, I don’t know for sure…but I hardly ever communicate with others outside the blog (except for MuseCast recordings), but I wouldn’t think it would create a decay on the blog…

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 16:36(24-28) It was just a hypothesis, and evidently not a sound one. I’m sure it’s just that everyone suddenly has loads of homework to do. That’s assuming there really has been an appreciable slowdown in blog traffic — I haven’t checked.

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 16:4729- Robert, I think the reason no ones posting is because of school. I however am very good at ballancing homework and blogtime while still managing to get good marks. (my blog time is significantly more than my homework time) if I can do it other people can too. grr…. I miss everyone on the blog who isn’t here.

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 19:28(42) Actually, I painted it in watercolor. But it’s an unusual paint that uses graphite as the pigment — a little like painting with pencil.
The bunny color I added digitally.

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 20:05Finally! The weekend!
My school has had SEVEN false fire alarms in the past three weeks. SEVEN!!! You’d think they could fix “faulty sensors” by now.
That picture is awesome!
Eh, I guess I haven’t been around much lately. It’s not that I have a huge amount of homework, it’s just that most of the day is taken up by school and on weekends I have other stuff. The internet has been seeing less and less of me.
Awesome picture.

in September 22nd, 2007 @ 21:05about emails and such…they usually remind me of the existance of the blog, and lead to more posts
not that i ever actually forget the blog exists, but sometimes i just don’t post a lot. Like right now for example, i’m talking to musers on AIM, and having just finished my pandora/limewire music-stealing spree, i’m reading stuff on the blog. almost a week until nano! *eep*

in September 23rd, 2007 @ 09:57No, it’s really happening, and for the reason you cite. I’m not sure why it’s exhibiting this particular kind of weirdness, but it will probably get even stranger before it returns to what passes for normality around here.

in September 23rd, 2007 @ 10:04It reverted to the defualt layout? Oddment. I don’t really like this one, as you can’t see post numbers and that makes it hard to respond. I suppose we could just say things like “Robert/9:57-” though.
Perhaps we could temporarily use another skin untill the nice old one comes back?

in September 23rd, 2007 @ 10:07(67) Mostly new control panels to make GAPAs’ lives easier, and some security features help keep out spam, hackers, bunnies, etc. You might not notice much difference — except for the things that go wrong, as inevitably happens whenever new software comes on board.
We’re not done yet. In fact, the hard part still lies ahead. Be prepared: there may be hiccups today.

in September 23rd, 2007 @ 11:0263- You don’t actually know the joys of playing with under-9-year-olds until you’ve tried it. It *can* be fun sometimes. Not always, but sometimes.
Unless L*** is over, though (she’s ten, actually, and very precocious (plus she helped me clean my room)), I’ll just sit and talk to the grownups. They have interesting conversations.
I missed it being weird.
Maybe it will be weird again.74- REALLY? Will it make it easier for me to get on them?
No, no, I have the big computer now, I can try the mic on that.
I have a love/hate relationship with weekends. I love that I don’t have to go to school, but I start thinking about how awful school is when my routine is disrupted.

curious and questioning
in September 23rd, 2007 @ 11:3847- Are you sure it isn’t drills? Because last week we had two fire alarms a day. Getting them all over with for the rest of the year.
I missed the blog acting weird? Probably a good thing…
Johnstown competition was yesterday. I got to the school at 10, we practiced until 12:30 when it started raining. There was a lunch break in which the trombone section mostly sat in a circle and talked instead of eating lunch. Fun. At 1 we practiced more. Sometime between 2 and 3 we got on the bus. Then a 2.5 hour bus ride with penguini. I read her book while she listened to my iPod. At the school, we changed into uniforms and practiced and suchlike. We saw a group that I believe was Margaret’s (white and maroon uniforms?) but had no chance to go closer. We spent some time in a blank field nearby. It was kind of lumpy and there were lots of bugs. I couldn’t brush off the mosquitoes because I was playing, and we were in half-uniform so they could reach my arms… I count >15 bites now, including at least two on my face. But then it was time to play. It was very slippery from the rain. I actually fell down, completely, at a point near the beginning (we go from circles to lines and I’m on the far end of the circle. I slipped while jazz running in on the last step because I shifted my weight to try to get six extra inches and actually reach my dot for once.) It didn’t hurt, my thoughts were more like “why is the world spinning… look, I’m on the ground. This can’t be good.” only with more profanity, because that sort of thing is expected and encouraged in marching band, and not so on the blog. But, anyway, I remembered the small body movements we just put in, and didn’t really make many other mistakes, so that’s OK. After the show we all stood around and talked, first about the show, then about homecoming, then other topics that steadily grew more random as stuff was put away. I won’t list them for reasons which you can probably guess by now with the tone of my descriptions. Oh, once we tried to list the types of trombones, that’s okay. There’s a soprano trombone, which is about half the size of a normal one and is awesome, a tenor one, the normal one, and a bass one, that’s slightly bigger and has 2 triggers. Then you can count the trigger trombone (a normal one with shortcuts) and the valve trombone (a baritone disguised as a trombone). And it was hard to hear the announcements but we won in our group, being the only national-level band there, and had a score of 83.5. On the (normal school) bus home, for the first hour I listened to my iPod with and talked to Vinayik, because penguini had left to see her grandparents. Then I curled up as best I could and slept or at least dozed until we got back. W got back an hour late, at 12:40 instead of 11:30.

♥13 ~ Aaah, I’m so jealous! I saw them do the cursive Ohio thing on TV once and ever since I’ve harbored not-so-secret fantasies of being the sousaphone who dots the i. OSU is also the only football team I really bother to support at all since my dad grew up in Ohio so I inherited that from him.
10, 16, 17, etc. ~ I started getting Muse in 2000 or 2001 but sadly I lost a lot of issues when we moved in 2002.
47 ~ We’ve had something like two false alarms and two fire drills. Not too shabby although nothing compared to seven, you lucky duck!
79 ~ I am 90% positive I saw you but I didn’t want to go “OMG HI” just in case it wasn’t really you. You guys have spiffy uniforms. (you are yellow and black, no?) But yeah, the low brass/pit/battery people put our instruments back on the truck and we were lined up to walk back to our buses and you guys walked past to go to the field. What part of the line were you in? I thought I saw you toward the back but I didn’t see the front of the line… We are indeed white and maroon. We got a seventy or something. xD We were all like “WE GOT SECOND IN OUR DIVISON oh snap there are two bands in the division.” It was so funny because we have a ginormous band (over 200 people) so we got in one single file line to walk to the field and I was a little bit ahead of the middle. People were standing by the walkway and staring at us and every once in a while I’d hear someone go “There are so many of them…” or “It just keeps going and going,” et cetera. We had an awesome time on the bus. On the way there Jamie taught me pre-calculus while Sarah guessed “two pi over three” for everything he asked, but since he’s a drum major he had to stay and get the score so we acted like silly freshman girls with Katie, Olivia, and Dana and played “would you rather…” It was a bit awkward though because my mom was a chaperone and happened to be on the same bus sitting one seat away. We had SO much fun though, and for us, seventy is a good first competition score (c+q’s band is way better than ours, that’s just how it is. haha.).

in September 23rd, 2007 @ 16:37Hello people! Some of you may have noticed I haven’t been on the blog much in the last month or so. I’m really busy and have also started frequenting some other forums, so I’m afraid that my presence on MuseBlog has greatly decreased in the last few months. I’m sorry to all the RRR people and such, but I’m afraid I won’t be much help anymore. My life is pretty boring, but I found precedent to my SciFair project, which is good, and have become a Trekkie, which is also good (but does absolutely nothing to break down strereotypes.) As you can probably tell, I’m procrastinating. Ta ta.

in September 23rd, 2007 @ 17:23(85) We miss you, but we realize that it’s hard for our little blog to compete with online forums where you’re allowed to
swearexpress yourself more forcefully. Still, we’re not jealous. As we see it, MBers who stray to other websites will inevitably wind up infecting them with Muser values. It’s all part of Mostly Harmless. Today MuseBlog — tomorrow the Web!
“Infecting”? Wait a minute.
It sounds as if he’s saying that every MBer is…
…a living computer virus!
Impossible. Even bunnies aren’t that insidious.

One thing I do like about forums is Private Messaging, but MB is a thousand times better than any other forum even without PMing.
So how will this new upgrade affect the Musecasts? I know it won’t help ME, but I’d still like to know.

in September 23rd, 2007 @ 18:2682-yeah, script ohio was sweet. it was funny how they had like fourteen sousaphones, probably because they had all wanted to dot the i. their drum major also is fantastic. i can see why shayna wanted to be one so badly. i looked for henry, but i wasn’t sure if he was actually in it or not. he’d be a trumpet though (he tried out for drum major. he was really good but i guess not as amazing as “stu” (as shayna calls him when she talks about him, which is constantly :D))
also, apols for confuzzlement over nano, didn’t mean to freak people out. i meant october and was thinking of nano

in September 23rd, 2007 @ 19:25Wah ha ha ha! I’m on like a really big caffiene high right now cuz I just got back from the movie theater, which is where I work, and I get free soda and I had like three Mountain Dews. Oh and the power went off last night and messed up the credit card thingy so when we tried to swipe a card it froze the entire system for like five minutes… And we ran out of pop corn halfway through the first showing ‘cuz these guys were having like a party or something and ordered six large popcorns. Six! and I managed to burn myself with the popcorn butter… still not entirely sure how.
*draws breath*
Can’t wait for NaNo to start…
Actually I’m amazingly not procrastinating because I actually *gasp* did my homework yesterday.
Still, I suppose I should be out socializing… Cause mom’s having some sort of sushi dinner thingy.…Oh well.

in September 24th, 2007 @ 20:47Grant is back from touring OU. It is now tied with Wooster as my top choice for college. There will follow a brief interlude about Wales.
WALES!!!!!! WALES!!!!!! WALES!!!!!!! WALES!!!!!!
If I go to OU, majoring in international studies like I want to, I can go to Wales for 10 weeks as an intern. Not as a file clerk type intern either, but as a helping-to-draft-legislation-type intern. Bones. I am extremely excited about this. The professor I met with today in that dept. was extremely nice and has gotten me excited about this. Outrageously excited.
I cleaned off my desk and moved my laptop onto it, so now I am sitting in my closet at my desk typing this on my laptop. Using a blue-glowing USB mouse I got at the bookstore in Athens. It r0x0rs ur s0x0rs.

in September 24th, 2007 @ 22:05Blah. This thred is really random, has anyone noticed it? Not much going on…maybe I should bring up a really controversial topic, just to stir things up…or not.
Now the randomeness is rubbing off on me! Gaahhh!
Oh yes, nice artwork, I was sort of wondering what the enormous pink blob signified a few days ago…now I get it. Very clever, with the prequel/sequel and the references to Howard Pyle. May I just say that I love pirates? Again?
NaNo sounds veryvery hard. I’ve barely written 30 (computer) pages of some of my stories and I’ve had at least a year on most of them. Of course, this may have something to do with something with the fact that I’m working on like 50 stories right now…
Anyhoo…not much going on. By the way, this is my new name, although I’m still Elentari at heart.

in September 25th, 2007 @ 13:52I wouldn’t worry about posting too much. Even if I were inclined to agonize about that sort of thing, I have more important things to think about. For instance:
1. The flute choir/theater production rehearsal conundrum. Theater rehearsal is Mon-Thurs from 6 to 8:30. Flute choir rehearsal is on Wednesday. I can’t miss more than 3 theater rehearsals or I’ll get booted out. I love flute choir and all the people there are my friends, but I also want to be in the theater production!
2. The usual, which has sent me to the bottom of said well of despair.

Yesterday we discovered that our computer printer was full of black ink. Somehow at least an entire cartridge drained into the bottom of it, and ruined the printer. We aren’t sure if the cartridge or printer is to blame for letting loose the ink.

in September 26th, 2007 @ 16:01lifewithoutanipod, September tends to be a quiet month when everyone starts back to school. If historical trends continue, things should pick up in October.
As for random threads, this summer we decided to limit their number to 3 per month. Four times before that we racked up 5 random threads in a month — October 2006, March 2006, April 2006, April 2007.

in September 27th, 2007 @ 00:39175- Oh! Meant to get that album a while ago…
So, I was on the bus from rock climbing today, and I called someone retarded for some reason or another (prolly cus they were acting it), and this girl gets all annoyed. She starts going on about how it’s rude, and how it’s a big deal to her and everything.
Had I been less tired or something, I prolly would’ve come up with a better response than “uh. fine”
Then, not a minute after, she calls something gay. So I call her on it, and she’s like “oh, but retarded people don’t choose to be retarded. being gay is a choice
which realllllly struck home with me, I have a lot of friends who are gay, and I /know/ it’s not a choice. A couple people, including me, explain this to her that it is not a choice and she’s like “whatever, I wanna change the subject”EEEERRRRGHHHH
(sorry for caps)
And I disagree, I don’t think it’s offensive to call people retarded. For one, it’s cus they actually are acting in a mentally deficient way. You call people gay to their face, it’s part of who they are, how they identify. Unless you’re really non-pc, you prolly don’t call retarded people retarded to their face, or to those around them. So there’s a distinction. Mentally deficient people aren’t really called retarded anymore, gay people are still called gay. Also, if I’m calling someone retarded, it’s cus they’re acting in a generalized retarded way- being stupid. Now unless [snipped for being inappropriately explicit –Rebecca] I doubt you’re acting very gay.
Also. Retarded: held back [held back mentally, anyone?]
Gay: happySo, Musers, your opinions?

Heh. In MAD magazine, they spoofed the Amazing Race, and one of the couples was two burly gay construction workers. This was the dialogue:
“Sorry l’m late. My buddy here fell into a cement mixer, and l dived in to get him out.”
Host: “Sorry, you’re out.”
“You can’t kick us out `cause we’re gay!”
“No, but you’re not flamboyant gays. We need the audience to be able to confirm people’s predjudiceses.”

in September 27th, 2007 @ 13:54I think that since you weren’t insulting mentally deficient people in any way, and were using the word “retarded” as a synonym for stupid, it’s ok. I myself avoid any words that could result in people being offended. When talking about gay people, I use the word “homosexual,” as it’s correct and not offensive. If people want to construe it as being offensive, that’s their problem. I do, however, use the word “black.” Why? Because there’s nothing wrong with it. I call myself white, as do black people, so why should there be any difference? African American is a term that ought not to be used, because when it’s used, you’re basically making 2 assumptions: One, that the person is African (no, they couldn’t possibly be Jamaican, Haitian, etc) and two, that the person is American (they couldn’t be British, oh no). Those last comments were taken from a website, but I find them so true I can’t help but repeat them once in a while.

And that girl was right about calling somebody retarded being rude, but she shouldn’t have then been a hypocrite by using a term that was offensive to other people. You can cal people stupid, but don’t use retarded.

in September 27th, 2007 @ 17:21When someone uses gay as a synonym for stupid, it is as if someone is standing and swinging a baseball bat around. They hit someone on the head, though they weren’t trying to cause anyone harm. Similarily, someone who uses gay as a synonym for stupid is associating being gay with being stupid and, whether they are trying to or not, hurting those around them’s feelings.

in September 27th, 2007 @ 18:01188- Eegh, where to start? “Back my beliefs up with facts”…beliefs are based on feelings, emotions, etc…not facts, though they can be influenced by them. And although people with Down Syndrome are typically kind, loving, and gentle, that’s not true for all disabilities. Lots of mental disabilities can make people more aggressive. How nice someone is, however, isn’t what we’re talking about. There are lots of nice and dumb people, and vice versa. And how, exactly, are mentally disabled people better?
And as for the low blow, MBers are smart, at least those that agree with me.

in September 27th, 2007 @ 19:03188-Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean someone acting like an idiot. I meant someone acting like he/she had no control of their actions. For example: This guy in Health was running around the room while Mrs. (I think) Clark was out, and he was like “HehehehHAWHAWHAW hehe we’re in health! Health! Sex-ed! We get to learn about” and then said what we were going to learn about which is not a topic I wish to bring up on MuseBlog. Anyway, people were calling him a retard because he acted like he had no control of what he was doing, which is most people’s interpretation of mentally challenged people. Although that might be wrong.
191-I know many gay/bi people, and they’re not offended by homosexual, or bisexual, but gay really gets to them.
196-I really didn’t get what you meant when you said swears were stupid and ignores them (is that good or bad?) but I honestly don’t care if anyone uses a swear word, (and personally, I don’t get the whole “swear” thing) and with a mother like mine, it’s really hard not to get into the habit.

202- “I know many gay/bi people, and they’re not offended by homosexual, or bisexual, but gay really gets to them.” Why? I’m bi and “gay” only offends me when it is used improperly to imply stupid. If someone uses it to mean homosexual or joyous I don’t mind.

I dislike it when people use swear words to make their point. Like this moronic little Internet cartoon squirrel thinks swearing makes him clever. I use swear words when I feel strongly about something, but they don’t make up my entire argument. My point of view actually has substance rather than smut.

in September 27th, 2007 @ 21:02re: swearing
I used to not swear. Now I’m in high school and surrounded by that kind of thing. It no longer bothers me to hear other people, unless it’s excessive. I don’t swear unless I’m agitated in some way enough to not censor my thoughts or not care (such examples as: I just fell. At a competition. or: It’s been a long day. I want my peers to realize they shouldn’t bug me at all). Which is maybe once or twice ever but will probably be a little more often now. I don’t ever among people whom it makes uncomfortable or people I want to impress or teachers. </explanation>206- I get 10 threads as result for my name.

When someone says something like “Joe’s GAY” because he’s asking everyone in science whether they like chicken, they get offended because someone’s comparing them to someone who’s acting totally insane, not gay.

in September 28th, 2007 @ 17:36Hm. Well, I think you shouldn’t use “retarded” as derogatory term. They can’t help the way they are. You also shouldn’t call people “gay” to imply negative qualities, for the same reason. I also agree with the whole “white-black” thing. Suppose you meet a black person on vacation in the United States (not knowing this beforehand) and somehow get into a conversation involving ethnicity. You shouldn’t call them “African-American”. They could be from Canada, but originally hail from Australia. “African-American” is too specific a term to be applied to every black person you meet. Therefore, it should be considered useless.
“Latin-American” and “Asian-American” are pretty useless terms, too, for reasons akin to those described in the last paragraph. It’s pretty safe saying someone is of Asian descent if they look it, but that does not mean they are American by nationality. Latin-American is trickier, though, as the people society refers to as such may come from Central or South America. “Hispanic” is just weird, as it translates to literally mean “from out of Spain” (I think), and they’re not all descended from Spaniards.

in September 28th, 2007 @ 22:01I’m sorry for being totally off-topic, and the double post that will happen after I submit this and read the comments here. I need to grok what just happened, I need to write…
Marching band played at homecoming today.
I got there a little before 5:30, we practiced in the gym awhile and talked and it was kind of fun. My shako broke again and the plume was flopping around, it required more tape.
We went out to the field, the new turf one, I don’t know when. It was cold enough to make wearing the full uniform be just slightly cool, it was perfect temperature. The game was delayed 30 minutes for thunder but it never rained. We went out, waited in a tunnel form for ages at standby while some athletic coordinator droned on about dedicating the brand new field (no exaggeration. His voice sounded exactly like the stereotypical boring lecturer and he would pause between saying things, which made him easier to understand but made us wait forever), then waited another eon at attention(do they not realize that we have been standing waiting for them and that instruments are heavy? Attention is holding the trombone perpendicular to the ground and up so the top of the slide is at eye level, it hurts after a minute), then (horns up)played the fight song as the football team ran through our tunnel thingy, then (horns down, at attention)walked to the center of the field and (horns up)played the anthem(to attention), then walked off and to a set of bleachers beyond one end zone. I was in the top row , seated with the other low brass, between Brian(I’m sure I mentioned him sometime…my year, freakishly good…remember? we were the only trombonists last year…) and Kristen (senior). then we waited awhile. The other team scored a touchdown, but missed the extra point. The football hit a bass drum but didn’t injure it. Scary sitting behind the end zone… Then we played the show after some cheerleader thing at halftime. The crowd was a football crowd, not a marching band crowd. I think they had no idea what they were supposed to think of us. They cheered loudly after each part. I didn’t mess up too badly, although with some of the newly added (as of Thursday) dance walking I was somewhat halfhearted. Then we went back to bleachers. This time I was in the second row down, near Charlie and Vinayak and Brian and Katie (note the lack of particular order) and we all talked and laughed through the game and ’twas fun. At some point the teams switched end zones. Then our team scored a touchdown, and the extra point too. And they were right near us (a drummer caught the ball) and everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs because there was only about a minute and a half left in the game and we neverwin. So we played the fight song again and then again after the end(we’d been playing random stand music after the quarters) and talked more and marched back to the other side of the school and the music wing and put everything away and left. We won the game 7-6, and it’s the only time I’ve ever really cared about a sport. The way I just described that sounds anticlimactic. But really, it wasn’t. Have you ever been so happy that all you can do to express it is scream? That’s exactly what it was. It was amazing, and right now I feel like I’d be happy to do another week of band camp just for that again.

in September 29th, 2007 @ 10:21So, my English teacher is pretty cool. His room is filled with action figures, he listens to metal, he assigned Moby Dick last year but didn’t for us, he has a Mark Twain quote of the day on his board, and every day he throws the roll out the door from his seat at the podium in the middle of the room, and usually misses horribly. Anyway, he’s a really good teacher. Lately we’ve been discussing the Puritan New England, Salem witch hunts, watching the Crucible, reading old sermons of New England preachers, looking at primers, etc, going along with reading The Scarlet Letter. Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention: He’s lousy at grading papers in a short amount of time. The average assignment we get back about a month after we turned it in, at the shortest.
WARNING: IN FOLLOWING STORY, ALL NAMES CHANGED TO PROTECT IDENTITIES. OR JUST BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT.
So anyway, on Wednesday, we come in, all noisy and boisterous and talking/shouting across the room as usual. A few of us say hi or smile at Mr. Teacher (alias), which he pretty much ignores, but sometimes he can’t hear us/isn’t looking at us, so we don’t really think that much about it. Then he gets up, walks to the door, PLACES the role outside instead of throwing it, and slams the door shut.
The room gets completely silent. I think we’re basically all staring in shock at him. He sits down again at his podium and says, “Look at the Twain quote of the day.” It’s something about how lies are more often with acts than with words. We look at him, and he’s sitting there completely serious, not joking at all, and I’m pretty sure we share a common thought: “Oh crap.” He’s like, again, sort of quietly, “So what do you think that means? [silence] [one of the kids who went to the bathroom walks in, looks around, scuttles quickly to his seat.] No one knows what it means? [silence]. Fred?”
Fred mumbles something about how people can lie more with their actions than they do with their words. Mr. Teacher is like, “Anyone else? [silence (by the way, we have a very talkative class; this silence was extremely unusual].” He waits a bit. “So, I have your [assignment] graded. And some of them were damn – sorry – close to each other. I guess it’s because I didn’t make you turn the assignent in to turn-it-in.com, and I expect a lot from my AP students, but I also give you a lot of freedom. [He continues in this manner a little,] Does anyone have anything they’d like to say?”
As he’s speaking, he’s looking around the room, and we’re all sitting there pretty much in shock thinking “Don’t look at me, don’t look at me.” It was pretty scary – I’d never seen him that serious/disappointed. Anyway, George raises his hand.“Are you talking about some students having, like, the same ideas or concepts, or are you talking about like word for word?”
Mr. Teacher is like, “This was word- for – word. There’s no question about it. I have the papers back in that corner. Does anyone else have anything they’d like to add? Comments? [Silence] Alex, what about you?”
Alex kind of jumps and stammers something indecipherable.
Mr. Teacher: “Nothing? Anyone else? Fred, what about you?”
Fred: Sir?
Mr. Teacher: Well?
Fred: Sir, I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t copy or cheat off of anyone, sir, I promise. I spent two hours on that paper, sir. [silence] I _didn’t_ cheat, sir.
Mr. Teacher: Well, I’ve got the papers to prove it. See me after class.
Fred: Yes, sir.
Mr. Teacher: Alex? Anything to say now? [“Alex” shakes his head.] Anyone else? Or should I go on calling out names? [silence]
Smith? Sally? What about you? I know your mother [Mrs. Smith teaches also at the high school], should I talk to her?”“Sally” just kind of sits there (she sits right in front of me), shaking her head a little, basically in shock. She looks like she’s almost about to cry. We’ve been sitting there for maybe five, ten minutes (it feels like eternity), in complete silence. Then, Mr. Teacher smiles, adn the class is like “ohhhhhh”, because suddenly everyone makes the connection between what we’ve been talking about – the Salem witch trials – and what Mr. Teacher is doing. Anyway, we spend the rest of the period discussing it, we spend the rest of the next two periods discussing it, and we spend after school discussing it also. Basically, it was really scary, but it’s also really cool to think about now..
(The day before, he had mentioned he’d give us back the assignment the next day, and Fred had asked how they were and he was like “Well, – [pause] – I don’t want to talk about it right now, we’ll discuss it tomorrow.”)
(apparently he’s done this for the last three years, and in the three years, roughly three classes, 90 kids each year, ONE person has spoken up in defense of someone he’s accused of cheating.)(oh, and he also forgot to give us back our assignment that day).

of course, we scream and dance whether our team wins or not. (they didn’t yesterday, but we rocked so hard. actually not really, it was kind of bad but not as horrible as we thought it would be) There was SO much sugar around. The other band, (they’re one of the really cool bands that we’re basically all best friends with, them and sniphall (except we’re all really jealous of sniphall because they’re reeally good)) brought us cookies and tootsie roll pops. hyyyper!

in September 29th, 2007 @ 11:39186–finally, an interesting non-random topic. I think that if you’re using “retarded” as a synonym for stupid, then it is offensive, although I do admit that I use that term in that way. I don’t think that gay is offensive, because it /is/ mostly a choice–even if you are gay and don’t like girls at all, you can choose to not get involved with guys like that. And I agree, most mentally retarded people are only that way outwardly/socially, with some crazy genius abilities hidden behind their appearance. Rain man, anyone?
Yeah so that’s that. Nothing much interesting…except that I can’t seem to get under twenty two minutes in cross-country. I’m in horrible shape this year. Ick. AND I got 25 minutes in a race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW CAN THIS BE???!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worst time I’ve ever gotten. Bleah bleah bleah. May I go hide somewhere? Like under a rock?
It doesn’t help that my crush is on the team and he runs varsity. His time was more like sixteen something. That’s almost TEN MINUTES FASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. End of rant. Sorry to all the non-cross-country runners, this probably makes no sense.

(Not literally, although quite close.) This was due to being the only guy in the flute section, and not used to dozens of shrill voices screaming all around me. Oh god, am I glad to be rid of that.

I believe Grant is on the older end of the spectrum. Maybe a senior? He was posting about driving lessons last summer, if I recall correctly.
257- In all two football games, we haven’t seen the other team’s band ever if one existed. At this one, there was what sounded like one trumpet occasionally playing a fanfare or something. It was kind of funny. We could have crushed him(her?) into the dust.

in September 29th, 2007 @ 17:42252- Ooh, I predicted the conection, but that would be scary. You teacher sounds amazing. Wha do you mean by he throws a roll out the door though? At the beginning I was thinking ‘dinner roll’ but I don’t think that’s quite right.
255- Heh, he porbably wouldn’t have picked me then. I’m a shamefully easy cryer… *hides head*
264- Ah, yeah, there’s a guy flute coming in next year. He’ll likely have the same problem, but we didn’t yell at all this year really. I think it’s cause we’re stuck out on the track by the goalposts instead of in our specal bleachers (they were torn down). Perhaps next year we can start again
Glad to be rid of it? And Beavo’s quiting? Aww… but flute rocks… Yeah, around here the bands don’t travel with the team. We just play home games.
So, on the band topic, our homecoming was today! Here comes the ebeth-like rant c+q also has been using.
Got up around 7, ate, hung around house till about 8:10 when I grabbed my stuff and got in the car to go to the school to warm up for the parade. Got there, got dressed in band uniform though I could have just marched in the tennis sweatshirt and pants I came in because it’s a school sport. But I decided to be cool and wear the uniform.
Anyway, get there, Jess and Sarah come in and me and a few other flutes run over to them to ask (oh my god I dindn’t get a chance to tell you all yesterday, Caitlin (whoiswas pregnant) started having contractions! Ahh!)how Caitlin was doing; they stayed with her pretty much all night. She had her baby, he’s really cute (they had pics on Jess’s camera) and has an awesome name: Dante Alistair(/Alister/Alisdair, not sure on spelling) coollastname-coollastname. Anyway, back to band.
Get in uniforms, go outside and march the parade. This wasn’t very interesting, actually, it only took us about a half hour to go through the parade, 30 minutes less than we expected. The cadences are the only cool part as fight song isn’t that interesting (It’s actually just ‘On Wisconsin.’ We stole it from them.) Flutes have to memorize it even though we have the hardest part, because the flip folders don’t look that great.
The cadences are fun though. In Tom’s cadence theres a part where we make a sort of “Whoop whoop” noise, only less lame.Around 10, after going inside and changing and all that (we had 2 hours untill we had to be back to play for the game), me and L were starting to head to the coffee shop on main street and ran into her boyfriend and one of his friends outside of the school. Then Feather called and so she was going to come with us too, except she had to run back into the school to get something but ended up getting there before us XD SO after a while we finally get to the coffee place, and are totally random and hyper for a while, then D came! She transfered to a different school last year, and was going to meet us, but then had a dentist apointment today so we wern’t sure she’d make it. So then there was more randomness.
Also in the coffee shop were an elderly couple, and after they finished and started to leave the gentleman patted Z on the shoulder and whispered to him and D (the only guys there, the rest (Me, L, D, JB, Feather, Jenna, and earlier Mel) “Enjoy it while you can, these are the best odd’s you two will ever have.” I didn’t catch it when he said it, but after JB and L stopped cracking up on the table and could breathe again I fell to the afliction. They were sort of like “What?!” After he said that. It was really, really funny.Then around 11:20 we headed bac to the school to get ready for the game, not much interesting thigs happened. We played pre-game, I messed up which yard line I was supposed to stop on becasue I’d thought I’d gone to far D: . But it turned out okay…
Halftime went well also, Elenor Rigby was the opener and after that we played When I’m 64. We also have music for Can’t Buy Me Love/agical Mystery Tour, but we havn’t had a single chance to earn the drill so we didn’t do either.I’m sure something interesting happened durring the game somewhere, but it doesn’t come to mind right now. Oh, I got sunburned, and we ended up winning. Forgot about that bit XD
Anyway, the dance is tonight.
I’ll likely spend it sitting at a table talking to Cathy who’s not exctly thrilled about going either. Meh.

in September 29th, 2007 @ 19:45258- But, see, even if being gay is a choice, which I don’t think it is as I don’t remember choosing to be bi, it is still offensive to hear oneself basically be called stupid. It doesn’t matter what your opinion on homosexuality is only a respect for everyone. By implying that someone is stupid, you are not respecting them
Re: Cross country. Hopefully do better soon! Don’t worry in my last meet I only got twenty three ish (we’re actually not sure because they created the course right before we raced (…) and it turned out to be off…. Eh heh.

Except the Nano is probably prettier, mine’s just black. But the spin wheel lights up. I danced around the house with it when I got it.

in September 29th, 2007 @ 22:12283- The Musiverse is too multifaceted- history changes at a whim, metaphysics are subject to alteration without notice, and don’t even get me started on geography. Just as you think you’ve finally edited it down to consistency, a new continent pops up.
But, come to think of it, I could make a map, at that. Just don’t expect me to keep it up to date.

in September 30th, 2007 @ 00:10I am a senior. Next year I will be a freshman and happy to have escaped from the hell that is High School.
I rather hurt. I’ve been shot point-blank with an airsoft gun at least 13 times today. I have welts on my right arm, my back, and my chest. Doesn’t the term “airsoft” imply that it oughtn’t to hurt?
Get this: I’m playing airsoft for the first time at my friend’s house. I’m hiding behind a car. My other, less cool, friend, comes around the car with an automatic weapon and shoots me point-blank a number of times after I freak out and ask him not to. After writhing in pain for about 30 seconds, I become angry and fly into a rage, attempting to take his gun away. He shoots me some more. If I’m angry because he’s been shooting me, wouldn’t it logically follow to not shoot me?

in September 30th, 2007 @ 15:24Favourite song? Changes about every three days to every three weeks or any time I happen to find out about a new artist/band/musical group. Maybe something by Weird Al? Previously Dragostea din tea or something.
My spell check has started speaking with a British accent. Odd.
I have ha non-pollish question. How does one spike one’s hair into a fauxhawk? I need advise. My current attempt has a bad case of flophawk.

I am wet.
The house is suddenly very smelly. I wonder if it would have anything to do with cats…?
I met the mother of a kid in my acting class today, and she is also the mother of Opal’s best friend. O.O

in September 30th, 2007 @ 17:42I wrote a program today on my TI-83+ to use the quadratic formula for me because I was bored and I know it anyway and the math homework was repetitive. It’s quite useful, but I would suggest memorizing the formula too.
:Prompt A,B,C
:((-B+√(B²–4AC))/(2A))→D
:((-B–√(B²–4AC))/(2A))→E
:Disp “POSITIVE ROOT:”,D

in September 30th, 2007 @ 18:04264-ouch! i feel for you. i have some friends in the flute section, and i try to stay as far away as possible from them when they’re screaming.
being a girl trumpet, i have the opposite-a chance to exercise my “manly-voice” and my “mind-in-gutter” skillz. it’s actually pretty fun, when you get over how obnoxious everybody is.261-i like yooooouu!
268-i know of a guy named dante. he’s one of those “kind of friends with your friends but kind of fringe friends with your fringe friends so not really someobdy you hang out with” people.
ooh, our fight song is on wisconsin too! go us!
and HAHAHA (about the old people in the coffee shop) that is hilarious. the funniest part is that i could totally see that happening with some of my friends (we also have girls outnumbering boys and rather outspoken old people :D)
287-oww, way not cool. i wouldn’t be friends with him. he must have been pretty close, right? that would hurt
288-well, right now i’m listening to iron man by ozzy, but i think my fav song at the moment would have to be either the pina colada song by…somebody or imagine by john lennon. Before that…idk, mebbe i can’t drive 55 by somebody else. (yes, i’m on the i’s if you haven’t noticed…the pina colada song’s actually called if you like pina coladas)
Oh, but a recently heard song that i was obsessing over was every day i write the book by elvis costello. i just heard it for the first time a few days ago, and there was much squeeing and re-listening. good song

in September 30th, 2007 @ 18:17244- Actually the drum player didn’t catch the ball. It hit Grace almost in the face. And the fight songs? c+q I wouldn’t call what we did actual playing of music. I’d call it a large number of people screaming really really loudly and making noise on their instruments that may have sounded like the fight song if you listened carefully. For the folk who don’t know: The seniors in the band don’t remember the team ever winning a homecoming game. The first game of the year (which was a homegame held at some park or other ’cause we didn’t have a field) the football team lost 30something-6or7ish.
Happy times
