Hi!
Wait. I just got here and I have to go. Let me see if I can stay somehow…

Wham! Look at me!
I’ve really gotten into nautical-related stuff. I through phases. I used to be an arabophile, and I’m still somewhat of an anglophile, but now I’m into nautical stuff.

I think I can stay for a minute…
Ahahah!!! That is truly a great picture, Rebecca. However did you manage to place the “Muse” label so perfectly on the can? It’s quite amazing…
I think it is starting to try to warm up here. From 9º F last night to in the low twenties to teens tonight

Yay new random thread!
The old one was getting very long.
So, how is everyone tonight, or tomorrow if you get on tomorrow, though it would actually be today when you read it…
Anyway what’s up?

Rebecca (463 on previous thread) (And Robert, too): My mom says: “Oh, really? Robert sent it? Well, tell him thanks to my favorite pumpkin-dropping pal. And all of MuseBlog, of course.”
Musestrone soup…sounds flamablamablous! Great picture, Rebecca!

I don’t worry much that people will forget me, mostly I’m concerned that meeting me is something that is mentally damaging or traumatic for the rest of their lives.
I love the picture, by the way.
I used to (and still do) love Campbell’s vegitarian vegtable soup. I always called it “letter soup.” I remember how both my grandmothers made it differently, one of them always adds extera vegetables, alphabet noodles, tomato base, etc… While the other jut makes it straight out of the can following the instructions on the label.

oh, okay. A new thread. sounds fun. nice ‘Musestrone’ soup. I’d love to try some.

Does the soup turn one into a muse?

Does it have little Muse noodles in it? 
It would be cool if there really was such a soup, even if just the label were like that and soup was the same!
I’m signing off now. ‘night, everyone! Goodnight, Robert! I know Rosanne will probably be on soon, but I don’t think I can wait to say hi…

It was yesterday and for some reason I forgot to put it on here.

Yes, the Musestrone was the can whose physical existence did not match the image shown in the photograph.
(Lady B.’s mastery of photo manipulation is also, of course, literally uncanny.)
RtH: I sometimes slip puns into the headlines and figure captions in Science, but I have to be careful not to overdo it, or readers will complain. Some people prefer their news free of verbal shenanigans.

(23) Not so uncanny (though nice of you to say so); more a case of simple arithmetic: 9 + 4 + an entire blog = a whole troop* of Muses helping me out. (Or maybe that’s multiplication, not addition.)
By the way, Robert came up with the word “Musestrone.”
*Some would say “cult,” but that’s another conversation.
(3) RtH, making the text fit wasn’t nearly as tricky (or as time-consuming) as making the lettering itself. There isn’t a “Campbell’s soup” font out there, not that I could find, so I had to create or adapt most of the letters.
Then I “warped” the text to fit the can. Warping is kind of like imprinting an image onto silly putty and stretching it into shape. Of course, one has to be careful not to overdo.
A filter called “Liquify” (which I didn’t use in the Musestrone picture) allows for endless refinements:
Of course, one has to resist temptation. It’s easy to get carried away.

I just got back from school.
I had a bad day today in English. My english teacher seemed like the best teacher ever at the beginning of the year, but now he’s driving me mad. Today we were talking about the writer of The Devil and Daniel Webster, and he said it was written in the 30s. He asked what was happening at the time. A girl slipped and said the civil rights movement then quickly tried to correct herself, but my teacher was already talking. He complained for nearly 5 minutes of our class time about how our generation is egotistic and believes that history began with themselves, just because we forgot when the Great Depression was for a few seconds. I raised my hand, and the following conversation happened…
Teacher:And you are the most egotistic generation so far…you don’t even know the history of your own country…
Me: *raises hand* Well, first off the event was the Great Depression, and I think that’s why we still have history class, because we don’t know everything about history.
Teacher:Well didn’t you have American history last year?
Girl: We did the revolution and…*gets interrupted*
Teacher: Well then if you’re all such experts on the American Revolution you should know a bit more tomorrow when we talk about Nathan Hale.
AHHHH! I am so mad at him right now! He’s been doing this for weeks. Every time there’s a bit of history we don’t know he calls us the lazy generation or egotistic or something else like that. I just want to throw my desk across the room and run out.
Every generation thinks that they are better than the ones before it and after it. Even if our generation really is the worst one yet, insulting an honors english class won’t make the future any better. All he is doing is making us resent school.
This isn’t the only teacher at my school who talks to us like this. Last year in middle school I was really excited that I would be going to high school. I thought it would be interesting and the teachers would be good. All year I’ve just been hearing about how the generation in high school right now is a bunch of lazy egomaniacs from the people who are supposed to be forming us into the leaders of tomorrow. When they tell us that we’re worthless mounds of flesh that’s what we’ll become. They keep wasting class time complaining about us instead of trying to get us interested in learning about things that could make us better people and reverse the stereotypes.
Even though I know what they’re saying isn’t always true I’m really starting to believe it and it’s scaring me.

WHAT IS THAT CAT DOING? *runs off*
Ah. She’s scratching her claws on my dad’s guitar case.
In other news, Smithsonian AND Cabinet came today. Both of those mags together only equal the amount of lurve that Muse gives me.
I got my report card today and I got another 4.0! w00ticles!

34: That’s not true. Don’t believe a word he says. And somehow I just don’t think it’s even possible for a whole generation to be egotistic. Epecially since, as kids, this generation hasn’t had a chance to really do much in the world yet. You can’t judge a book by it’s cover, and you can’t judge a flower before it blooms. Hopefully that was in some way slightly motivating, but I’m not so sure- I was up all night and now I’m really tired. *yawn*
I love the picture. Musestrone soup sounds delicious.
And guess what everyone! I got an A- on my math final! w00t!! That’s the best grade in math I’ve gotten all year

I hope your shrink is nice. If you don’t like the person just tell them and get switched or stop going. Seriously. This past summer I had a shrink whom I hated and it made things worse, but there’s a lot of people who can help you.
If you don’t mind me asking, why does she want you to go?

Hola, mis amigos!
Having survived midterms, I return to you from the great inescapable pit that is time – and I have an idea. Would it not be exceedingly, flamablamablously, awesomely awesome if there was a live museblog chat?!
Just an idea – and I do believe it’s possible, possibly with some outside help.
¡Y pienso que debemos hablar en español todo el tiempo!

Would the GAPA (and I’d like to stress the point that even though I am using the plural, yes, it’s “Great And Powerful AdministratorS” – it’s still shortened to GAPA because ‘administrators’ is only one word. Sorry for being a grammar nazi, but I have my limits…) allow AIM screennames to be sent in any way, shape, or form, via museblog? The only reason I’m asking is that most all of the people I know here I know here – and only here.
/gradster(1)/
P.S. Again, sorry about the rant – I get really annoyed with the technicalities of grammar. By the way, has anyone read the xkcd comic about the grammar nazis? For that matter does anyone read xkcd?

Hey Beavo. I think some deamon inside me is totaly trying to give you a run for your money. It’s a good thing my dad isn’t home because he would so make me go see a shrink. I have huge temper issues. I litterally just had a full blown temper tantrum. I skipped like 4 problems on my Algebra HW already because i didn’t know how to do them and when i hit the 5th problem in a row i snapped, litterally. My pencil is lying in shards around the floor of my kitchen and my HW has already been thrown to the floor and stomped on, next to various sharpies. My mom said quietly “Why don’t you go put yor pajamas on?” So, i dashed upstairs, retreived my handy dandy laptop and logged onto Muse (not in the litterall sense, you can’t log on here) Just call me shrinkydink, but i can still feel the tears drying on my face…

gimanator (57): I used to love school, until I got to High School…
Most of my classes are tolerable, though dull and uninteresting. I did have some great classes this semester, though. Chemistry was kind of boring in the beginning, but then when we got into Quantum Mechanics it got a lot more interesting. I got “The Elegant Universe” out of the library today, because I don’t have science next semester and I will need some science-flow into my brain. (Otherwise it will grow sluggish from Spanish and English, and no sciencymath.)

59 ~ Charlie horse?
I have most of this week off from school. I only have one exam Thursday afternoon and I might go in on Friday and skulk around the band room during the pit rehearsal. Tomorrow Jamie and I are going to watch lots of Star Trek because I know nothing about it and he feels that my education will not be complete until I do.
As for dis/liking school, I like the people but most of the classes aren’t especially great.

50-Mom *was* Catholic, (after being Jewish) and kept changing her excuses for me not to read Harry Potter. First, “It’s against our religion” (that was in the time where I was a little kid and convinced that if I got God mad he would smite me on the spot), Second “It’s not for you”, third “It’s what popular people read”, fourth “It’s a cult”, and finally “It’s trash”. 
54-We could make it “GAPAI”, the “Great and Powerful Adminastrati”.
60-Anger issues suck. *hugs* The thing is, I never really got angry, I just kind of smoldered. Although I threw a plastic cup at the wall once…
By the time I post this, there will probably be tons of more comments so please don’t eat me if I double post.

I almost hate it, but not really. I miss middle school though. I never thought I would say that.
If it wasn’t bad I would tell people never to go to high school, but they are supposed to.
I wish I could be a little kid again.

79- I’ve been to middle school, and it seems like there’s an awful lot of hugging in high school. Actually it depends on the person. H hugs everyone, she’s ever so nice. And then there are people who seem to like hugs, and the people who walk up to you in the hallway and say, “Would you like a hug?” (These people frighten me.) And then there are the people like me, who appreciate hugs but cannot initiate one.
I feel silly talking about hugs.
I want to be a child again too.
Sort of.
Mostly I want to be a pre-teen.
Mostly I want to not go to school.

79-i disagree…middle school was awkward “EEWW, i can’t hug HER/HIM, he/she’s a BOY/GIRL!!!” or “EEWW, i can’t hug HIM/HER, that would be GAY!” high school is cool fun hey hug time whee can you tell ebeth’s brain is rapidly deteriorating need…dose…of…insanity…too…much….chem….AHa’lsdkj
if it weren’t 11:30 at night i’d go play my bass but i think there might be a few objections to that.
same for the trumpet, plus my lip’s prolly done for the day. we sightread this really hard song in band, and it had a solo cornet part, so it was just me playing all these eighth notes and things in cut time with the woodwinds about 2-4 notes above the rest of the trumpet section. bleh. and then after school i had to go practice my solo+ensemble song with the piano, and then i came home after torch and practiced it again because i can’t freaking breathe right.
anyway. that’s a fun story for you…not that you care…
speaking of bass guitars (yes, we were, look above all the trumpet stuff), you all know (of course) that andy now has a bass guitar? (because you follow ebeth’s life so devotedly. true story-direct result of me letting him play my bass at the xmas jam and then lending it to him for a few days afterward…). Well now michelle’s getting one, and ebeth feels totally special for enlightening everybody about the pure pwnage that is bass guitar. even though she still sucks at bass clef, which she doesn’t understand, because it shouldn’t be that easy to forget five years of piano…
‘nother true story, ebeth is as we speak loading robin hood men in tights onto her ipod. wewt! that makes almost 2 gigs of video, with count of monte cristo, four invader zim episodes, and 9 flight of the conchords episodes. plus a little less than 25 gigs of music and a smattering of “other” (she’s not quite sure what that is, since she doesn’t think she has any documents or anything saved on there…unless her nano is still backed up there…heeyyy, that might be it) puts her in the MB for space left. she’ll prolly only keep one movie at a time on there though so she can get more spiffeh music.
and you all care so much. right. off to bed now, night all.

If I go to bed now, I can get up bright and early! At least, that’s what I think. It won’t actually work that way.
Bother. I need milk. And there is no way in the world that I am walking seven very dark blocks in the thirty degree weather to the store (not to mention back from the store) to buy milk just so I can have a dubiously tasty dish in the morning, especially considering that I need to go to bed sometime between now and 9:45 if I want to wake up tomorrow at a reasonable for a school day hour.
Well, I might as well go clean up the house before bed.

I have a new policy. Until the end of the semester, I will have only one hour per day on the internet, and the rest of the time must be spent studying, doing my homework, and cleaning the house. I’m actually thinking about lowering this to 45 minutes, since it’s only ’til the 31st or whenever the semester ends (I can’t recall). Whatever happens, I won’t be seeing you-all as much in the next week or so. But I’ll still be around.

I think “free hugs” is a nice idea, but I don’t like being hugged by strangers. In fact, hugs don’t really do anything for me. They don’t make me feel better no matter who is giving the hug, and I think a free hug would just really freak me out.

In middle school it was mostly my group of friends doing all the hugging. Now I hug my twin (almost twin) brother and my friend AK but not much.
106-Google Earth is amazing! I wish I had the live one though. The pictures are pretty old on the normal one. My dad’s car is halfway in the garage at my mom’s in the picture, which means he still lived here. They should get new pictures.

94 – In England, no-one would dream of hugging anyone else in public. It’s just not done. Except footballers, of course, but they have adopted foreign ways from being abroad so much. And my friend Snoo, but she’s just peculiar.

Is there any particular problem with hugging?

110 – Nothing. The problem in the local school was that all the popular kids would hug each other in the hallways, which would clog the halls. In the end, everyone was late to class, whether they were giving/receiving hugs or not.

Our school is the American equivalent of the Nanny State. Strictly enforced dress code, no hats, you get a referral if you’re late a certain number of times, and they’ve banned Saxophone Friday because one of the teachers is a whiny little pain. (I had nothing to do with that incident, but I do want to continue Saxophone Friday.) At least we don’t have to wear uniforms.
Nobody ever spontaneously hugs me, for sure. I don’t know, maybe I exude an aura of not being approachable, but I don’t mean to. Hugs are nice. So are back massages. I give a wicked back massage.

I don’t mind hugs, but I always feel awkward. I’m not really the kind of person who hugs people all the time, and people don’t hug me too often.

71- Or the wrong world entirely…
91- Sad bit is I think I remember you lending Andy your bass. Sad for me not you.
I wish I could play bass, if I were to geta guiar I think that’d be the kind but my hands are too small. They hardly fit around the neck, and I can’t press most of the strings without the others going down too.
This was learned after making Amye show me how to hold it… she has 4 guitars in her room. Lucky.
97- Eh, they might just be theater people. Then it’s just a big love-fest all around (I did not mean that in a sinister way. You people have dirty minds.). Feather was telling me about threatre fest where one of the guys they met in a workshop brought a big ‘FREE HUGS’ sign with him, and every 12 seconds a random group would notice it and come over and hug all of them. Took them 20 minutes to move across the courtyard
Personally I’m not big on hugging people though. I can make exceptions for my best friends and people I haven’t seen in a while, but I am more of a needs-space person.
It’s all in good fun though, don’t let it freak you out too much. The people who are odd are often the most fun to talk to
109- Hahaha. I wonder how a ‘free hugs’ sign would be received over there. Maybe they’d think we were either mad or hookers. Or they’d just asume we were foreign.

I want to take a free hugs sign to school sometime. That would be really fun. I could get one of the anti-prejudice groups to have a free hug day so everyone would do it.
My dad says the Musery stuff will be coming before the weekend, so I will get it when I go to his house.
I am having a yucky day. I think I’m not going to taekwondo today because I want a break. At least it was better than yesterday.

hugs: i don’t give them. i recieve them. unless it’s malan, because people always forget to hug him.
highschool: fun enough but it makes me hate myself. as does every social activity ever. you know why? because i can’t have a normal conversation! everything i say sounds like a script. a really lame script performed poorly. an i realy realy can’t stand myself. if i met myself on the street i would punch me in the face. God. i really hate the way i feel. i really hate it. it’s like there’s this huge knot of hate in me. and it hurts. and i can’t stand hating myself and it just makes me hate me more and i feel sometimes like i’m just going to explode with all the hate. and i don’t fully understand where the hate comes from. i feel so fake. like i smile because i have to. and mostly i just feel like curling up and sleeping and not having to deal with anyone. and i wish i didn’t hate so much. i wish i could laugh and not wory that i look stupid. adn just for one day enjoy myself. ya know? just be at peace with myself. not feel and this rage and hate and self loathing. and i thought i was at peace with myself and I’M NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i thought everything was okay but it ISN’T. and i just feel like i’m going to combust with all the negative energy in my body. and i don’t know why. and i wish i didn’t. i wish i could just accept myself and not feel like i have to prove anything. and i just wish i understood me. i thought i did. but i don’t and i can’t remember things anymore. my brain is in a haze. i wish i could think clearly but i don’t think it would help. and i just wish i wasn’t feeling all this because i don’t understand any of it.

English is going to kill me. Oral test tomorrow. I have to think of a two-minute response to thirty possible freaking questions. So, of course, I’m wasting time on the internet.
So today my AP Chem teacher suggested that I go directly into AP Physics C, which is the one for the crazy-insane math + science engineer major people, without taking Physics I first. Interesting.

123-If you don’t like high school try talking to some seniors or graduates. It won’t really help you like it more but it might help you put things in perspective. At least it did for me anyway. My friend Andy is 18 and he really helped a few days ago when I was mad about my teachers.
I think it’s better for me talking to seniors than parents or counselors because they’ve had these kinds of experiences more recently, so they can understand more of what we’re going through.
Does anyone here watch Ghost Hunters on the SciFI channel?

127 – What if you are an 8th grader and terrified of the high school and everything in it? I currently go to a teeny-tiny middle school in which I know every passageway including the attic and basement. The high school, on the other hand, pulls students from 2 other middle schools, each of which is double the size of my school. It is large enough to be a small college in my opinion. As you can see, the transition isn’t going to be pleasant.

@60 – Most people don’t get this, but YOU and people who can do what you do are the only normal people – the rest of us dimwits try to keep it pent up inside.
@75 re54 – NO NO NO – you’ve got it all wrong (sorry :D). There is no separate word after the word administrator (be it ‘i’ or ‘s’), therefor you can’t add a letter to the acronym!
@79 – I hug MANY more people now that I’m in high school than I ever have – and I’m a guy. Does this mean something I should know? And don’t we all wish we were kids? Just think, we all wanted to be grown up when we were kids… And now… It’s depressing.
@84 – Would we happen to be twins, by any chance? You express my feelings EXACTLY. Of course, minus the not going to school part but that’s just because they don’t teach the right things in school.
@91 – I love you – in the non-romantic suffering trumpet player kind of way. Oh, and the andy you’re talking about wouldn’t happen to be Andy Smith of Jazzmosis…?
@117 – That’s sad… If I could I’d hug you right now. No, really. I am not joking. It’s hug time (for anyone around you reading this)!
@123 – Would you get mad if I said that sounded like a script, or was it supposed to? You know, like that whole irony/sarcasm thingie.

128-Don’t be afraid to ask for directions from teachers. Seriously. I got lost so many times in the first couple weeks. It’s not as scary as you might think once you start going to high school.
My high school used to be the combination of 2 middle schools, but they just built a new middle school and rearranged the whole thing. I’m the last year to have all the normal years.
I am in classes with a lot of upperclassmen, which is not as intimidating as it sounds.

123- Oh, Kagy. You don’t seem fake to me.
132- I got lost the first day. In a school that only has like 40 rooms.
Today the director was sick but I missed my bus anyway so I hung out and listened to the entire cast recite their lines minus blocking and expression. It’s amazing how unfocused everyone was, but they still did very well on remembering their lines.
Then I had to walk home. My shoulders still hurt. My bag weighs a lot.

Today in Spanish, I worked out how to say MuseBlog in Spanish. MusaDiario, literally “MuseDiary”, but web is red, and log is diario, therefore web log is reddiario, and when I take the last letter of red and tack it onto the beginning of diario, I get ddiario, and since it’s Spanish, not Welsh, I have to drop one of the Ds.
Twisted logic, no?

129- Excuse me, kind sir, but I’m in AP Spanish, the 5th course one takes in Spanish. It’s awesome, we speak entirely in Spanish.
123- Kagy, you need to calm down. You don’t sound like a script, and you seem very real. You appear to have a lot of tension with yourself, partially because you don’t know who you are supposed to be. You talk of having a day in which you enjoy yourself, being at peace with yourself and the people around you. Why not? Why not set aside a weekend day, let people know in advance that you’d like to be left alone, and figure things out? Get enough sleep so that you can think clearly, have a nice, slow day, and think about how to resolve the problems that are troubling you. Focus not on the problems themselves, for that will most likely make you upset (problems can overwhelm) but rather come up with a solution for each one. We here care about you and your mental well-being, and it upsets me to see anyone in your situation. Nobody should ever hate themselves. (Hypocrite alert! At least I have vague reasons to.) I do hope you’re able to help yourself, or get help from a good friend, and I especially hope that this helped.

123- *hugs Kagy* I kind of have had that feeling, or at least one very similar to it. What I would *like* to do in those situations is spend a day alone, only reading and listening to music and stuff but I seldom have time for that. If you do, I recommend it. And choklit.
132- Same for me, there are 3 sophs in my math class and the rest juniors/seniors. They are often more fun to talk to then people in my grade, as I don’t know them as well.
I had a horrible first week of HS, but it gets better. Really, it does. The chance to meet people not in your year is oddly refreshing, even for introverts like moi.
On Spanish- Ha, I think I just did poorly on that final actually. We can only start spanish in HS, I am in spanish II and plan to complete all four years if I can. If I figure out how to phrase something and say it I am good with pronunciation and stuff, but I have to think about grammar more than I’d like too. And i randomly forget the little important words, or sometimes verbs… meh.

I took 2 finals this morning: Algebra 2 and Chemistry. The Algebra final was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be, and I definitely got a high score on it. The Chemistry test was a bubble sheet, and the teacher scored it right then and there, so I know my grade! 96%. I have my World Cultures final tomorrow, but I’m not very worried about that one, because History is my best subject.

This could be good, because I love West Side Story, or it could be bad, because she might permanently ruin one of my favorite soundtracks for me.

155- That sounds exhilarating. Why?
I had such a bad day. You honestly wouldn’t believe. Sequence of events:
5th Period: Math. Always demotivating, but whatever. I’ll survive. Even though my average is 94.6 percent or whatever and I’ve a feeling it’s about to get lower. (Erk!) I just have to scrape by until the 31st!
6th Period: English. The high point of my day. I worked on my Honors project and we read Annabel Lee and The Bells! Which made me very happy. Then after class got out I scoured the room for the English project that I remember doing and did not get credit for. I didn’t find it. I’m going to ask Mrs. T if I can redo it.
Lunch: Boring. I read my book, which is a joyless activity when you have to take notes, ate an orange, examined the lunch I made and forgot yesterday, and decided not to eat it since rice spoils so quickly and it wasn’t refrigerated yesterday till I got home at six.
7th Period: P.E. Pretty bad. Could be worse, I guess. It could have been longer.
Pep Assembly: Very, very very, very boring. And loud. And hot. And crowded. And long. And I don’t know the tune to our Alma Mater. And I don’t like to yell. Ugh.
Re/Ad: My thought process: Yay schedules! *waits long time for her schedule because her name begins with W* *gets schedule* Yay! Oh wait. Digital Photography? But– but– Advanced Drama! *fumes*
Tutorial: What do you do in a fifteen minute tutorial? Go to English with the intention of reading your book and end up not reading at all.
Rehearsal: The director was still sick, and I couldn’t find the Stage Manager, and all the cast went home, and I was about to miss the only remaining bus, so I left.
Bus Ride: Talked with Brenda about schedules, worked out a plan. Was about to get off the bus, when the bus driver informed me that next time I would need a note. ARGH!!!! I was informed, when I started high school –and I even think I was informed by a teacher (the principal?) – that in high school you could take any bus you chose. *is mad at bus driver* *is glad she doesn’t ride that bus* *is sorry Brenda does*

This is the description the author gives:
Lord of the Rings is more or less the foundation of modern D&D. The latter rose from the former, although the two are now so estranged that to reunite them would be an act of savage madness. Imagine a gaggle of modern hack-n-slash roleplayers who had somehow never been exposed to the original Tolkien mythos, and then imagine taking those players and trying to introduce them to Tolkien via a D&D campaign.

I have no vents for my frustration. In Acting we got to play Improv games all class and I was elated for the rest of the day. Then I went to an Improv contest? gathering? festival? which several of my friends were in. Whatever it was called, I came out of it so happy that it’s almost impossible to make a connection between me two and a half hours ago and me now.
And then I went to my mother’s music thing which I really didn’t care for much, got a headache, felt as though everyone regarded Opal and I as related entities, and came back cranky and miserable. And Mother automatically left to go get her new bike (did I mention she had a bike?) from where she left it earlier in the evening, and I argued with her, and now I’m sitting here crying. It isn’t fair! I don’t have any way to release my frustration. I can’t yell at Mother, I don’t really want to yell at Opal, and I just feel . . . deeply unhappy.

217- It happens, dude! It’s weird! Actually, I messed around with it, and it turns out that if you use a temporary condition in English that requires the use of the verb “estar,” then it changes Heath Ledger to Tom Cruise, but if you do something permanent requiring the use of the verb “ser,” then it keeps it Heath Ledger.
218- Is His Excellency the Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman one of the protectors? Or did nobody want to bother him with his important stuff?
221- Alice, I’m most terribly sorry. When I’m stressed out/angry/upset about something, I “drown my sorrows in video games.” (Strong Bad.) It’s unbelievable how much stress can be relieved by defeating a collection of electronic impulses. People say video games promote violence, but I play them so I don’t have to do the stuff that happens in the game in real life. A cup of hot tea might help, also. I hope you feel better.

228-i can’t write when i’m angry/sad. it doesn’t work.
usually i blast loud music and read or play tetris. sometimes i mess around on my own various instruments, most often bass. not practice, understand, just random loud noise that prolly makes everybody in the vicinity want to shoot me for.
if i’m mad at my parents, i go to a friends’ house and play videogames (lacking my own system, sadly *wants a wii*)
or i just bike around. going to the library is great too, not to check out books just to sit around and read. it’s big, quiet, comfortable, and there’s nobody around that wants to interrupt you. if your phone is conveniently uncharged, you’ve got it made.
(also cup o joe is right across from the library. yum, choklit)

I want to curl up in bed and sleep. Or play monopoly. Same difference.
It is impossible to find eggplants where I live. Even the Asian Market, which is HUGE (as big as a super walmart, except only filled with very odd food) It had japanese eggplants, which look like purple sausages, and eggplants the size of a big toe, but no regular eggplants.

244- I made a criticism of Walden a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t write it down, it was verbal. Anyway, I talked about how people use Thoreau as an example, but the fact is, Walden isn’t applicable anywhere! It’s time for a lecture with Professor Grant:
Once there was a bloke with a neckbeard named Thoreau. Thoreau had quite a lot of money, stuff, and rich and powerful friends. Being bored, Thoreau gave away most of his stuff to his friends and went to live in the forest for a while. Thoreau didn’t need to worry because he had money already, and if he was in a spot of bother, he could count on his friends to bail him out. Thoreau didn’t really do much other than chores, fish, and generally be lazy. After sitting on his bum for about two years, Thoreau had the nerve to write about it and tell other people that it was awesome.
The fact is, that was a very rare thing. The majority of people nowadays are too busy concentrating on making a living, something Thoreau didn’t have to do, and those that could live in the woods like that have more expensive ways to waste time. So either people are too poor to do so, or they’re too rich to care about it. Therefore, it can never happen again, and it’s odd that it happened in the first place. Quo erod demonstratum, Thoreau you jerk.

Trifling with the Chairman leads to disaster. When someone messes with the Chairman bad things happen. Bananas, you have much to learn about Museblog etiquette. Say something useful in your posts. Posts composed simply of “Hello, goodbye” or “a smiley face your sister taught you when you were 9” don’t count as being useful. And if you persist in your cyber-war, I will sadly have to destroy you.

Maybe some of my friends and I will start a theater group. That would be fun, we’ve been thinking about it for awhile, but never really done anything about it yet.

I try to be a good person. I try to be the best person I possibly can. I try to help people with issues in their lives, I try to move towards a better society. I type long consolatory posts to try and make people feel better, I type other long posts in the hopes that people will find them intellectually stimulating. In my everyday life, I ask if there’s anything I can do to help. And life throws crap at me. I get into one little altercation in self-defense: if you attack me, I will defend myself. I’m not going to sit idly by and let myself be slandered. And then the accusations come. Somehow, whenever I get into an argument, it’s always somehow my fault. A common scene: I try to defend myself or a friend, then people who have no idea what’s going on come and say, “Stop it, Grant. Leave them alone, Grant. You’re such a jerk, Grant.” And this sort of thing makes me wonder why I even open my mouth anymore. I should not talk for a week, see who notices. See who misses me. I’m not talking about just here, I’m talking about my entire life. A week of silence. The sounds of silence, thank you Paul and Art. My tongue beginning to rust like that of Chief Bromden. Would anyone notice? Would anyone tupping notice? Once while at NSLC, I accidentally slept in, missed a lecture, and nobody noticed. The story of my life. Why didn’t anyone go, “Hey, where’s Grant? He usually has something to contribute. I haven’t seen him this morning. Huh, that’s weird. Where could he possibly be?”

I am really tired and kind of depressed and I hate to see things like this on MB. I’ve considered simply not speaking for a while… I don’t talk a lot anyway but I just get sick of people sometimes.

♥ USECGO. it’s frustrating, we know. you’re one of the few people still hanging in there with lovely essays for us to read on here
re walden-haven’t actually read it yet (should get around to that) but it seems like the point wasn’t whether it was practical or even advisable, but just that people can actually survive without being materialistic freaks. although true, he didn’t really have a problem with security, most people would be more worried about their future. so no, it’s not really practical at all. especially since there are only so many fish in the world. he took it to extremes to illustrate his point, but that doesn’t mean the point isn’t still valid. walden seems more of a symbolic action to me than an actual practiceable lifestyle.]
so i had solo+ensemble yesterday. got a 2. not bad, but i could’ve done better. of course i only had like 3 weeks to practice it, but even so i had played it better practicing than at the actual thing. which always happens, i suppose, but it’s still annoying. plus i completely messed up the chromatic scale-she asked for F chromatic, which i knew but it threw me off, and i just got completely lost. i was so mad at myself after that…but anyway, yeah.
and that’s about all in ebeth’s life. she might go see the veggie tales movie today. yeah, she’s cool. you know it.

My dad has a friend named Wally who tried to live like Thoreau and he said it doesn’t work. To explain the kind of person Wally is, I’m going to tell a short story. Wally is a teacher, and one day he heard two of his female colleagues talking about how important their hair dryers were. Wally said, “Hair dryers aren’t that important.” They said, “Our hair dryers are as important to us as your car is to you.” Wally said, “Oh yeah? I’ll go without my car for as long as you go without your hair dryers.” Wally went without his car for over a year, just to prove a point.

reporting for duty at ten to 9 am. meh.
my head hurts. I dont know why. sun exposure? possibly.
dog whining? yes, parents at work? yes, my dad is doing tours at the brewery i.e hes a tour guide and my mum is at her school, although I am not complaining, It is nice to have some peace and quiet.sigh.
oops I lied. my dog is asleep in the sun and she is white so the sun reflects off her fur and when I look at her I am nearly blinded 
mmmmm…milo….
also…are the GAPAs on 24/7? they seem to be? are you?
oh…a stranger has added me to MSN and is talking to me WHO ARE THEEEEYYY!!!

310- I pay attention to everyone.
There are an awful lot of people. But I sort of like that, in a way. I feel surrounded by friends.
Of course, I can imagine it would be equally nice to have a tiny, tight-knit community, and I can understand the oldbies wanting it back, but at the same time I can’t imagine the MB without everyone here, and when someone leaves it always makes me sad.

304-Whoa, he sounds kinda like someone who should’ve read Muse when he was a kid.
305-Me too. I would hitch rides with friends.
313-Spdzk points are a point system that POSOC started on some random random thread a while back. There are only a hundred in existance, so they’re pretty valuble. I only have one. Piepoints were invented by RtH, because, well, I dunno why he started them. They’re less valuble, though, because there’re more in existance than spdzk points. La Mort was one of the first to have them, I think.

304- I can go without a hair dryer, as my hair is very short.
Once I told my mother to shave my head because she was doing all of these complicated and painful dandruff treatments on my hair. She refused. I would have done it to prove the point, but I didn’t have enough guts.

I use a hair dryer about once every 3 years. My hair goes halfway down my back, and it’s THICK. (the base of my braid can be thicker than my wrist) So using a hairdryer tangles it immesurably.
My back hurts. I dropped on of the earring I sleep in down the sink, so I need to go destroy the mall looking for new ones.

I’m very mad at all of you right now.I’m going to stop posting for one week on any of the threads here at MB. It seems that everyone is critisizing me now, because last year I was the super reader, and now I’m not the super reader now. I’m just so tired of people telling me what to do, how to do it, and how I messed up so badly. Even more, my dog is taking shorter walks, spending more time lying down, and is very old. My Grandma is older and getting more sick. I’ve already lost both of my grandpas, and I’m going to go to another school. I’m just sensitive, tired, and scared.
*Cries*

319- I’m sorry. *hugs*
It’s just that there’s a long history of frustration with posts that consist of only smilies. People have left the blog on account of it, there have been organizations to stop it, people got fed up with the organizations… It’s a mess. But it’s not personal. And you did overreact rather. Grant was just pointing out something that all MuseBloggers need to learn.
I have a dentist appointment Tuesday. I also have an English presentation.

0
319-I was afraid that would happen, that’s why I stayed out of it. We do value you posting, but what I think my friends were trying to say was that something random or silly wouldn’t really help the threads get any farther in their development. Even the silly threads are on topic. There is no truly “random” thread, even this thread has a point.
It sounds as if you are resolved in your decision to stop posting for a week, and I won’t pester you about that. But even if you don’t post, please come on every once in a while to lurk.
That’s a SUGGESTION. I’m trying hard not to be bossy here.
I’m sorry about your grandmother, it’s the same situation with me. Both my grandpa’s died, without getting to really know me, and my grandma’s are both pretty sick. That’s one of the reasons for the random thread, you can vent to us, and we may be able to help you through some hard times. MuseBlog certainly helped me a lot a while ago.
Going to another school can also be hard, I guess. I’ve never moved in my life, so I wouldn’t know. But I see what it is to lose most of the friends you’ve spend five days a week with for most of the year, or two years. But I’ll let other MuseBloggers ramble on that…

321- The way to obtain them is at the discretion of MBers who have them. They can be rewards for answering questions or performing services. They also can be used as trade goods in the Musiverse.
0

(If this is a double post, sorry. Writing long lengthy posts can take time.)
321-You can get them pretty easily. Sometimes people offer points on certain threads for answers/feedback to their question/comment, RtH has done that a couple of times on the Just Friends thread. POSOC began offering them when he started them, and people who got them from him gave theirs away, or traded for other points. I had a couple of spdzk points a while ago because I answered a question on the R&R thread, but I gave them away when I lengthened my name. When I shortened it again, I gave half to La Mort, and she gave me a whole.
On that subject, if anyone wants to give their spdzk points away, I’m free! *jumps up and down*

321- They are quite obtainable. For example, I could give you points just because I felt like it. In fact, I will. Have 4 spdzk points.

I just came back from jazz band. Actually, it was really cool because we got to play with the entire University of Illinois jazz band. I also need to actually practice because someone thought that I would be a good 1st trumpet, so I have a lot of solos and whatnot. And I don’t know my own solo in Birdland. Oh, and then the U of I jazz band did a concert for us. It was amazing.

I have a rough draft of an English essay due tomorrow. It is 9:12 PM. I haven’t practiced all day. I have a chem lab left to write up. And I have exactly one paragraph of aforementioned essay written. One. One lousy freaking paragraph. And that paragraph is my introduction.
*weeps*
Why???????? I don’t know enough to write a coherent essay on commercialism in American society! I just want to go to sleep!
*headdesk*
310 – yeah, I think that that’s mainly why I never post any more. That and the feeling that noone reads my posts. I think it’s related to Dunbar’s number – “a theorized cognitive limit to the number of individuals with whom any one person can maintain stable social relationships, the kind of relationships that go with knowing who each person is and how each person relates socially to every other person”, according to wikipedia. I dunno. Also I don’t really have enough time to read through everything nowadays..

I hate Ohio weather. You can never plan on what will happen. A couple years ago we had a 90 degree day. In January. We would have had a fire drill in school that day, but there was a bomb threat by some loco at the middle school and all the kids came and sat in our gymnasium all day. So there was no fire drill on our 90-degree January day.
I’m feeling dejected. I know there are people who care for me, I have great friends, and in general I have a pretty good life. But you’d think that if you email someone or send them a message on Facebook at least four times, you’d get a response. I hate limerence.

353- O.o That’s a bit frightening. *wonder when she will stop remembering who everyone is* I have a lot of friends. Sure, I don’t know how every one of them relates to every other one, but I feel as though my relationships are stable. Well, most of them, at any rate.

There are roughly 100 active and semi-active MBers (it’s ever so hard to tell). That’s RIDICULOUS! How many MBers were there in Gen.0? Seven?
*shakes head* *researches Dunbar’s number* It might be lower on online communities. It would explain why I only feel like I know 40 or 50 MuseBloggers really well when there are more than twice that actually on the Blog.

363-I feel like I know you well because you were Gen. 0, and I’ve read more posts of yours than newcomers, or people who posted before me but after you.
I don’t feel that new anymore either. It’s been two years or so…
Y’know, some people I never stop thinking of as newbies. I won’t name names, but still. It’s creepy. Does anyone still think I’m a newbie?
0
0
353) DDDDDD: SAME SAME ugh well sort of but I have totally done that too I feel for you.
I don’t like getting into the whole generation thing much since it’s kind of like what D:
But there are certainly people here that although they’ve been here for a heck of a long time the fact that I can remember when they first started posting makes it seem not so long.
It’s all relative. I mean if we want to wave our oldie sticks around I’m gen 1 so all the gen 0 from gaboomba might be like “pffffff” at me for all I know haha.
For me, I don’t really have particular relationships with any MBers, and Museblog itself is a hold over of sorts from when I first started using the internets in seventh grade. I don’t actually get Muse anymore,and I was never on those threads that have a life of their own, but I enjoy the conversation to put it one way, and besides you’re all nice people.

Attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RtH Has returned!!! Popping right into the middle of a discussion about not having enough time seems appropriate Of course, I have had a bit of time, and actually have lurked here and there, but, at least for me, posting is a long process. First I try to read or skim as many posts as I can on the thread. Then, I figure out what I want to say, and start writing the post out. Then I constantly go back over what I have written, and make a final edit at the end. It takes a while, considering the amount of text typed! So, there’s how I type posts, including this one obviously! *Bows*
On the whole generations thing: I’m generation 11, and I have posted a good bit and know a lot of people. Actually, some people from these mid to later generations are a little more active than the older folks, as they are actually older in real life, and so probably have a harder time finding time, etc….
OK, I’m going to try to make it to all of the threads I’m on, in the next few minutes. This will be exciting, but I feel I cannot keep waiting until a good space of time, as that might never come…

Around here we mostly have yesterday’s hail, which was then snowed upon and then iced over.

379 – Psst…Alice and I live in Washington too. We know. ;D
0
0
378- Well, for one thing it’s not real snow. It ice and snow and hail all frozen together and it’s less than an inch thick, For another, I’ve had far too much real snow in the past couple of years to enjoy it now.
Maybe I should move to England.
379- *feels world crumbling about her ears* Either everything I’ve ever been told is untrue, or else you have like, ten feet of snow.

381 – Ooh, that stinks. I think we actually have snow, but it’s probably going to melt soon anyways. =/
And don’t look at me. As I said, I’m (fairly) new to the area, so I have no idea. Since I’ve been here, though, we’ve had a lot of rain for the past couple winters, and what snow we have tends to get rained/melted away pretty quickly.

My district hates snow days. It avoids them at all costs, even if all the other districts close down or the buses slip and crash into ditches. This is the first time we’ve had a snow day since 1996, when we had that big ice storm. Brrrr. *shivers*

Very Western Washington indeed. Only a few (read: many) miles from the coast. I’ve only been to Eastern Washington a few times, when I went to what’s-it-called… *googles* Sisters. Wait. That’s in Oregon. *panics* Have I never been to Eastern WA??? AHHHHHHHHH Help!
Drat. Phooey. I can’t even remember what the event was called.
Oh well. I do remember it being hot and dusty.
Why don’t any MuseBloggers live in Portland (Oregon, not Maine) (GAPAs, you can let this through. I don’t live in Portland. It’s like mentioning Seattle)? It’s pretty big, you would think that at least one MBer would live there.
0
0
385 – Yes, I think so. Or else I’m the one confused.
Our district hates snow days too. And same here. None of the schools in our area have had snow days since that ice storm in 1996. Cooincidence alert? I think not.

Meh. Life is not being good to me right now.
I was absent for one class of math and I was going to get tutoring, but then my teacher was sick so I couldn’t, but that was ok because we didn’t do anything anyway. But then her mom died and she’s going to be gone for the week and we’re moving on and that sucks because I still don’t get the lessons they did while I was gone.

Wow, I think I almost died about fifteen minutes ago. I was walking my dog in the woods, and as I’d like to be more fit, I’ve taken to running more and more. I was running very hard, and I think I ran too hard, and if I’d kept running at that pace, I think I’d have gone into cardiac arrest. If I’d done so out in the woods, I’d probably die.

426/427/428-There’s this myth type thing that everybody who’s “truly” emo cuts on 4:30, Saturday night. I don’t even know what happened, I was reading, and then suddenly I’m like “Why not? If it feels better, then WTH.” And then after twenty seconds I was like “What the heck am I doing?” and put my tack down. Yes, a tack. My scissors are all saftey scissors. And then I went back to reading.
Creepy moment of revalation: It did actually feel a bit better.
But no biggie, it was 4:30 and I’m not ever doing it again. I guess I should be mad at myself but I’m not, so I’m not going to try to be.
427-That made me laugh so hard. It’s exactly the same as fifty IM’s (okay, five…) that I got immidiatly after I told some of by best friends.
[Kenzie’sIM] No. BAD MICHAEL. You stop that.
[Katie’sIM] MICHAEL STOP THAT RIGHT NOW.
[Hannah’sIM] *says a lot of bad words* AND IF YOU DON’T STOP THAT NONSENSE I’LL SO TELL.
437-That made me laugh too, but because that’s what I tried to disguise it as at school. I have black marker pointing to the one of the cuts, saying “I donated blood! Yay me!”

448- Once, when I was a freshman, I was climbing a chestnut tree in my yard and received a scratch on the inside of my left wrist from a broken off branch stub. I thought little of it, but people started to go “Jesus, Grant, you cut yourself?” I kept saying, “No, I was climbing a tree and got a scratch!” A guy went “So you were climbing a razor blade?” Nobody would believe that it was an innocent scratch.

And now for my random thoughts of the day (as if what I’ve posted already isn’t random enough):
MB is a really important part of my life. There are times when I feel that you guys are truer friends than some of the people I know at school. And then there’s certain people who I feel like they’re almost a part of my family. I mean, there are times when I feel that Beavo is like a younger brother.
Random Tangent Time! For some reason, I can recall the first time that I talked to Beavo on the blog was on the Muser Profiles 2 thread, and we were discussing the songs Dani California and Lips of an Angel. End Random Tangent Time!
Meanwhile back at the point (I had a point? (well, I guess I started typing this because of how I reacted to Beavo’s post about cutting (and I just feel social right now)))
And I cannot remember what my original point was.
There is something else I want to say, but I think it would be better suited for the Romance thread. To put it simply, two words: Anonymous Lover.
I should end this post and work on Model UN research. Meh.

454- No way, I’m having a great time. What with me falling asleep on my feet, having to walk the same stretch of floor over eight times, thinking about how I hate myself and I don’t deserve my friends, and nearly coughing up my lungs, what’s not to like? And that’s just today. (Sarcasm is hard to detect on the Internet, so this entire post was sarcastic, except the last sentence and this one.)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blast! Tomorrow, I have:
A dentist appointment
Math HW due (I’m almost done)
Quite possibly a math test (which I will miss because of the dentist appointment)
An ENGLISH PRESENTATION, which I’m not ready for. I need to draw pictures, write on notecards, edit the speech, and memorize it. Drat.
A test in PE.
Maybe a science bowl meeting, and maybe a makeup test, during tutorial.
ARGH!!!! *suffers* *dies*
I don’t even mind the dentist appointment, but I’m scared silly of the English presentation.

453-I got grounded for two weeks because I scratched my inner forearm with my gym locker’s lock, and Mom wouldn’t believe it was an accident.
454-Decidedly not.
457-I feel the same way about a lot of you guys. Most of you are my best friends. Better than a whole lot of “friends” I have at school, at least. Younger brother, eh? You should be glad I’m not your younger brother. 
And Alice think’s Opal’s bad…
I remember that discussion, by the way. About Dani California.
Thank you all so much. When I need help, it’s nice that I can log on and talk to people I’ve never met, and be comforted anyway. But there’s a correction I have to make: I was most certainly not cutting. Cutting is with a knife or scissors or razor blade. Cutting makes deep gouges in your skin. Scratching, on the other hand, is what I was doing. It brought up, like, three droplets of blood. And plus, unless you were staring at my forearm, you wouldn’t even notice the scratches. SCRATCHES. Cutting makes it sound so… ugh.
*hugs all around*

462 – -sympathy-
I’ve got a 15 minute presentation in front of about 30-50 teachers/principals/superintendants on Thursday. I’m supposed to make a video, but since school was canceled today I have no video footage and only about half the video scripted/storyboarded out anyways.
I also have another video that I have to make for next Monday that has about the first 45 seconds out of 5 minutes done, and the rest hasn’t even been planned.
And I do not want to go to school tomorrow because I hate my project group and we might have projects all day tomorrow.

463- Hugs? DRINKS ALL AROUND! IT’S LIKE A WEDDING! I love weddings. I wish I could go to one. Where I knew people. The only weddings I’ve been to are two of my mom’s college friend’s kids, and my second cousin. I knew nobody anywhere. I hope my friend Mark’s plans with his girlfriend work out, because Mark is a great guy, and also weddings kick ass. Even though I find high school romances ludicrous, and romances where the girl is a freshman in college and the bloke is a senior in high school, I hope it works out well for Mark, because Mark is a great guy. I’m lucky to have a friend like Mark.
I’m rambling, a sure sign of my having nothing to do. I’ve been reading quotes from sit-coms on Wikiquote for about an hour, and I just realized that my eyebrows are furrowed in a manner that make me look insane. I wonder if I am insane. It’d be nice to know that I was insane, so if people look at me oddly I can produce a copy of a medical certificate affirming that I am, in fact, insane. And also it would be handy to have an excuse for everything I do and have ever done.

I calmed down considerably when I checked my list of requirements and looked at my speech. Now I just have to memorize it, put it on the scraps of paper that serve as notecards, and mutter unintelligibly about the cold darkness that prevents me from going and buying bread or potatoes.

I just looked at the antler sitting on my desk that I found in the woods one time and wondered what it would be like to sit on one. I suppose it’d be the pain equivalent of looking through a kaleidoscope that automatically made one nauseous. Someone should invent that! It’d be like training for a martial arts fight in a hall of mirrors! Like that one Bruce Lee flick! I want to work on my book, but when I do that I get told off! There’s nothing scary in my office (closet), except perhaps my letter openers I made. Those aren’t scary to me, but they might be scary if someone had just pissed me off and my hand happened to fall on one. I wonder which would be better, the long stiletto-type ones, or the short stake-type ones that are less likely to break. Which sounds scarier?

oops. when I say ‘closest friend’ in post 475 I mean the one I’m closest to personally, not in terms of distance. the nearest ones distance wise live about 3 minutes away. Walking. They just are always busy and never leave their house.

Ok heres what I was going to write before and probably more:
I love all of you guys on here. I think a lot of you are better friends to me than my friends I’ve met, and I feel like I can talk to you and not worry about being judged. It’s so great to have somewhere where I can talk about things I like and people actually have heard of it. It’s amazing that I can come on here and write and get actual criticism instead of just bashing. In a weird way a lot of you on here seem more real to me than my friends at school.
I really hope that all the people having problems right now can get through them. I cut myself for over 2 years, and I have been trying to stop for a while. In March it will be a whole year since I last cut myself. Even though I haven’t been on MB that whole time it’s really helped a lot. I haven’t even told this on here before but just knowing that there’s other people who are like me in some small way makes me feel a lot better.
I love you!!!

467-I’ve been to a couple of weddings! I like them so far, I guess. And insane! Of course! You wouldn’t be my friend if you weren’t partly insane.
469-Of course I notice you! *pies with noticing pie*
I really hate that outside of MuseBlog, I would do almost anything for my friends, and I’m almost always there for them. Shoulder to cry on, y’know? Hugs, comedy, etc.
But when I need help…
Me: Hey. Can I talk to you?
Them: Right. *stays where they are*
Me: Can I TALK TO YOU?
Them: Oh, okay. *walks over to where I’m standing*
Me: You know Katie? I think I kinda still like her.
Them: … and?
Me: That’s it. Sympathy?
Them: Oh. I’m sorry. Want a cupcake?
Me: Sure… *eats cupcake*
Them: Oh, and Steph is a SKANK! *walks away*
Me: *stands there looking lost*
Sometimes I wonder if maybe I should drop out of school, because I go there for two reasons: 1) College is good, and 2) friends. And it seems I’m losing more of the latter by the second.

A while back I was having….a bad day, lets put it that way. I was wondering if anyone really would care if I simply disappeared, by natural causes or no. Many names from MuseBlog came to mind. I love MB because I can alwas et on and have someone to talk to. It’s nice, since I don’t usually get to spend time with others my own age, and when I do, usually it’s tourture. Many teenagers don’t understand me the way you all do; I’m veiwed as a novelty. I live in a tiny house, I’m vegan, homeschooled, don’t have a TV, and don’t like rock music. Once the freakiness wears off I’m dumped in favor of them all drifting off and talking about movie stars and pop music.
I usually end up playing Star Wars or something with the little kids.

I think we all care a lot for each other even if we don’t make a point of saying it.
I wrote something about that after last week. lots of bad stuff. you know what I’ll just copy pasta it here because I think everyone could need something like it.
“I just want everyone to know I love you all dearly
recently things have not been good for me
there’s the obvious which is hard to talk about
at school I have finals and that’s stressful
people are hard to deal with and understand
life is confusing
but you know what even if you’re sad, you’re alive
you’re alive and you’re beautiful and don’t let anyone say otherwise
so don’t ever feel alone, I love you
please don’t cry
honestly, you’re all alive and wonderful and I love you cause no one can say it enough”
I believe every word of that.

Why is this thread so dull and gloomy? Let me brighten it up!
♫Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face!
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face!
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It’s not your style;
You’ll look so good that you’ll be glad
Ya’ decide to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin!
Wipe off that “full of doubt” look,
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place,
Just put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face!
And if you’re feeling cross and bitterish
Don’t sit and whine
Think of banana–*is pied* *sighs*

The school spelling bee is Thursday. I should be studying, especially since everyone is expecting me to win.

488-I seem to be having a lot of bad days recently. Like somebody said, January seems to pretty much suck for MuseBlog. ‘Cept for all the pretty pictures from Lady Bunniful.
502-The thing is, the gloomy mask of tragedy is my style, not the happyful random mask of weirdness I put on in the morning after combing my hair.
Like, everybody in my school is going emo. That’s an exaggeration, but not by much.
The spelling bee that I got into happened to day. I got out on mahi-mahi or something like that. What the heck is mahi-mahi anyway, and why do I need to know how to spell it?
I guess I did pretty well, I got into the third round, which many didn’t. I was maybe in the top fifteen out of thirty two.

OK, I am getting on for another one of my few minute chances on the blog. My mom has been needing the computer a lot lately, which of course seriously cuts down on my time on it!!
Uh-oh. Are people still feeling sad? *Pies* Well, I must say, I notice everyone, especially when I can read their posts before having to get off of the computer. A lot of these people seem to be saying they feel they don’t have any other friends, etc. This is why I requested a separate “Just Friends” thread a while back. But people either forgot to come, never came, or said I was a wimp because I wanted the thread separate from the romance thread. Obviously, the thread would have a great deal of use if people wouldn’t be afraid to go there. The reason people say they like the blog and it kept them going and such is because we (USUALLY) listen and are nice and don’t pick on you for things you say. The Just Friends thread could be a great place for this.
Now. Many people are nice to me on the blog, but there are a good few who, for whatever reason, have made the blog itself not such a friendly place for me, besides whatever happens in real life. Just a few examples, some of which some of you may not be aware:
One of the earliest incidents occurred when Fridgy was banned. I am the reason for that, so if you do miss him after he then later left forever, here’s something to hate me for. Anyway, on the religions thread, I complained that the comments were getting pretty mean, and Fridgy promptly told me I was being a wimp, and that I should get used to it. That’s what caused the GAPAs to ban him for a week.
Then (I think this happened after, I’m not sure) I mistook La Mort (Then Raven of the Hawk) for a boy. That was not a good idea. So that started her off against me, rightly or wrongly, it happened.
A while later, people jumped on me for complaining about my circumstances with kids where I live. They thought I was criticizing the public school system, when I was just looking for a little understanding, just like everyone else here is right now. That was not a pleasant experience.
And most recently, I posted what was supposed to be a joke about the stores getting valentines in so early. Most people didn’t get the joke, and instead got seriously angry. Considering something that was directly trying to be a joke that would get you to laugh, I was very unhappy about the responses, and Robert, Kagy, and a couple of others were the only people who really said they either at least got the joke or were sorry about the responses.
Also, as a result of that recent incident, many people jumped on me for my signature at the bottoms of my posts. They somehow thought it was insulting that I thought they couldn’t look two inches up to the top of the post. No! It is just handy and nice!
If you want to talk about insulting, consider the above listed items. And there were many smaller incidents that aren’t sticking in my head so much, thankfully perhaps.
So if anyone is handing out consolation pies, I might take a few. I certainly would never even consider killing myself, and as people already know, I’m the happiest person on the blog. Thus the happy smilies and the continuing happy attitude, despite the above listed incidents. I don’t mean to sound grumpy or angry, but I really want people to realize that the blog is overall nice for me, but that it isn’t a completely great place for me if I wanted consolation, or even just wanted to not be insulted. And sorry for the long post, I hope you have enjoyed it, and will consider what you say to me if you have done something of the sort above in the past. Perhaps it is my happy attitude that attracts criticism, but I hope this post will prevent any future troubles.

I think God must’ve shorted out the weather machine, because two days ago it as freezing with a five inches of snow, and this morning it was a balmy 50º with mud and blech, and an hour ago there was a sunshower, and it’s supposed to drop 40º tonight and snow some more! Geez.
I got my Muse today and there was one article that made me very angry. GAPAs, snip this if you like, but THERE WAS A REPRINT!!! Sure, it was from an issue from ’03, but it was STILL A REPRINT! Shame on you, Muse!

What? A reprint? of course if it happens to be from the issue the student teacher lost (March 2003 would I be able to buy a back issue of it?) I’d appreciated it. but that’s only because the student teacher managed to tupping loose it! (yes, Grant, I use tupping too. My friend introduced me to it when she was reading Othello.)

RtH-Heh, I remember Fridgey being banned. That was in my early months. I do miss him, if only because he has a bunch of interesting opinions. Brutally honest was his personality, I guess. But I agree calling you a wimp was out of order. I thought the signature “discussion” was a bit weird too, I didn’t quite get why people were annoyed by it.
Ah, well, we love you anyway, RtH. *pies, in which you may take any way you would like to take them*

I love museblog because its one of the few places on the internet that one can have discussions without mindless flaming, swearing, and, for the most part, pointless posts. I get very annoyed because of all the rules here (no real names, no links, posts must be moderated, etc.) and sometimes I’ll go off on a month-and-a-half leave because it gets to me. But then Muse comes and I remember how much I miss you guys. I’ve been posting for two years, and these past few weeks the worst I’ve ever seen on the blog. You should all be more tolerant and less self-pitying. Honestly. Your acting like me for god’s sakes.

It looks like at least one post on the discussion thread is without a spoiler warning. I didn’t read to see if there were more or if the first needed a warning, as I don’t want it spoiled
Thanks for the pies, songs, etc! Everyone here has a unique way of typing or something they put in their posts, etc. For example, Purple Panda puts notes in double parentheses. It’s really interesting and cool to see these different styles…

ALL RIGHT!!! ALL RIGHT!!! So maybe i’m a wimpy weakling or I am addicted to MB, beacause I have returned. I mean, 300 posts later I’ve to post. I’ve lasted three darn days, and I’ve even so far as to take it of my favorites (No worries! I’m putting it back on). Bottom line: I can’t hold grudges.

515~ I’m sorry that you’ve had a rough time on here. The first times I really remember reading your posts was on the Kokonvention threads when the Washington, D.C. Kokon. was being planned. Even though I hadn’t read a lot of your posts before that, I got a vivid idea of what you were like. I also remember thing that you would probably be the first person to address me when we got there, I was right, too!
Sometimes I’ve been grumped at on here, and I’ve had my times when going on MB meant being hated and usually ending up crying afterwards, but as a whole I think that the musers are a pretty close group that really does care about each other.
And as far as being upset at you for Fridgy? When I did read his posts they usually upset me. Honesty and politeness hand in hand is a skill. “Honesty” in the form of insults and narrow mindedness is juvinile.
I like your signature, by the way. It’s so cheery.

My day:
6:00 – Alarm clock went off.
6:30 – I dragged myself out of bed.
7:40 – I walked to the dentist.
8:10 – I realized, as my mouth began to go numb, that I had a presentation in English. And I was going to have to speak.
9:45 – I arrived at school and got my tardy slip, only to discover that it was a C Day. I went to Math, was informed that it was still second period, and got to Acting just as the bell rang. ARGH!
6th Period – My mouth was still far too numb to use, and I was forced to postpone my presentation. In fact, only one person did their presentation. He was really good, though.
Lunch – I ate a piece of pizza and my filling started to ache.
Spanish – The speaking tests were still going on which meant we had to be quiet but didn’t actually have any work, so Brenda and I passed notes all period. They got very chaotic.
Example:
Brenda: *throws desk at you*
Me: *pies* HA! HA! HA!
Brenda: *eats pie*
Me: You’re not supposed to eat it!
Rehearsal – I was very hungry, and I knew everyone’s lines even though they didn’t. *winces*
After Rehearsal – I was moping about being hungry and I thought that Daddy would pick me up when he dropped Opal off for her concert, which was, much to my dismay, an hour away. So I was looking gloomy, and H and E took upon themselves to comfort me, something which very strangely seemed to involve petting my head. Then they gave me a ride home, and my father showed up. Apparently he had gone to the school and I wasn’t there. Oops.
Now – MuseBlogging and happy.

Re: Leaving MB: Ooh. I’ve always found it hard. I tend to leave MB when I have internet access, and I can live with that. After the fire I left MB for a long time. Or at least, I wouldn’t show up, post once or twice, and then repeat that in three days. I’ve only left voluntarily once or twice, and then never for over five days.
I used to threaten to leave when Hot Topics became uncomfortable, which was really immature of me since what goes on on the HT threads doesn’t even affect me.

The only time MB got so bad (filled with pointless posts, overflowed with mean and other such comments) that I wanted to leave was Fall 2006. I still came to the blog almost daily, but I hardly ever posted because there weren’t any real conversations going on. That was when THF left and never really came back. It got better though, and hasn’t been that bad ever since. It has gotten a bit mean again lately, though. The longest I’ve been away from MuseBlog was for 2 weeks, when I was in Mexico last summer.
Red-tailed HAWK: I have always loved your posts and discussing things with you, because you always say things so logically and objectively. You were one of the people I was most excited to meet at the Kokonvention, because you seemed like such a nice, friendly person (which was definitely true when I met you). And you seemed to fit in right when you came to MuseBlog. I hope things get better for you!

heh, if “leaving museblog” means not posting, I’ve been leaving and coming back to museblog pretty much since it started.. I think the longest I’ve been without checking it is about three months, but I usually check it and just don’t post because I don’t really have anything to say..

I usually try to post when I get on MB, if only to make a “bookmark” so I can find where I last read to. Usually I make some sort of relavent comment though, or I don’t say anything at all.
Now for something random…playing violin can be hazardous to your health. True story, the other day my shoulder rest closed on my finger, ripped out a bit of skin and now it’s all infected. Grr. Trying to have a decent lesson and play a challenging piece well is not easy when you have this thing on your first finger that makes it all stiff and hard to feel things.
Why I just bothered to write that all out and think that anyone might care about my ranting is beyond me. Oh well.

559- Somewhat related: Today while my mouth was all numb I was chewing on my lip because, well, it was numb and I couldn’t feel anything and it was just too weird so I had to remind myself it existed and because both my hands were busy I did that by chewing on it. And now it’s got some scratches where I was chewing it.
Moral of this story: Beware what you do to your mouth while you can’t feel it.

We were talking about what we should do and
Steph said “beach”,
I agreed and then
he said “no”…
Im like…”hang on…WhAT? “and
shes like “oh well, OK Shaney-Hun, why?”
Shane: “I dont like you going to the beach so often. Im going home, I feel sick”
Me:uh…yea…K
Steph:(when Shane left) well thats annoying maybe we could go hang about at a river (we love doing this!!!)
Me: why dont we just go 2 beach?
Steph: he’ll get mad
Me: uh…K
Steph: wait, Ill ring to see if its ok to go to a river
Me: ?????
Steph: (phone) hey shane, why do u not want me to go to the beach?
Shane: it makes me hurt
Steph: Uh…K watabout rivers
Shane: No
*hangs up*
Me: thats so mean! Ive known you longer! we ALWAYS do stuff like that and now hes stopping you AND me!!!!
Steph: Yea well…well go to a movie, Ill just ring Shaane to ask

Steph: that ok with you Sam

515- Rth- I think you are an absolutely amazing person. It shows so much of an amazing personality to be able to only complain about all of that once. You are a huge part of the blog for me. You’re always there, and always cheerful. Even though I don’t post very much, and when I do it is usually in response to people like Alice and Beavo, you are one of the main parts of the blog to me. You are the muser who makes this place so happy. You’re always around everywhere, and you always are comforting whenever someone needs it. I’m not saying this to make you feel better- I really mean it. *Consolation pies*

And when you get them a $75 necklace with diamonds for X-Mas, they get you a $15 shirt. From Abercrombie.
So. One of my cuts started bleeding in gym, and people were like “OMFG BEAVO I DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE EMO” and didn’t even ask why or what was wrong. Cutting is getting so commonplace in my school that it’s scary.

Since nobody seems interested in guessing my age, I will just post it. Here goes.
Really Beavo, 14 to 16? I’m actually 12 and in eighth grade. I never thought I would seem 16.
On a different note, does anyone here compete in MathCounts. We had school round today. I did okay. I was second in the school. I had placed second on the countdown round and then beat the 3rd place person in countdown round. Unfortunately, I was clobbered by the 1st place person in countdown round.

581- i’m 14 and in nineth grade… i probably seem younger though. *chuckles* i wouldn’t call myself mature.
i leave the blog for periods of time that seem longer than they are. i won’t bee on much for a while cuz of my moms work. *pouts* ooooooo just remembered must do the essay i am “typing up” as we speak. so the triple bill show was amazing. it’s two plays and the improv team. evan (gr.12) was absolutely amazing in the last play. i haven’t seen him do anything but improv before but he is awesome! it was amazing. and morgan (no idea what grade he’s in….. mabe 11 or12) was fabulous in the first play. he made me almost cry. everyone was so absolutely amazing. i’m so glad i get to see it two more times!!!!!!!! *is hyper right now which is weird*

Beavo, I’m not sure if this is because I know your age or not, but I do think you’re twelve or so. Not that you’re not mature, but you just don’t post in the same way that the older, longer residents of the blog do. Slightly calmer, not having as much school work at least, etc. But this does not mean you aren’t mature, pretty much everyone here is!!
Sam: Wow, I would have said at least 15!
Gimanator-I actually would say that’s what I would have thought…
TMFA-oh, maybe 14 or 15, or a bit higher…
Speller73-I might have said you were 13, but I can see twelve. Again, nobody should think I’m saying anyone isn’t mature or anything, but it’s the way you sound when you post more than anything.
Does someone care to guess my age? It is probably known by most people from different threads now, but what would you say?
Thank you again for the pies and thoughts, everybody! I won’t get grumpy about that again, I just thought I would list those things out so hopefully the blog will never see any such problems, directed at anyone…
MF-It’s funny, before the kokonventions, I didn’t actually know many people on the blog enough to look for their posts a lot, so I hadn’t really focused on your posts either. Of course now they stand out a lot!!
I have to go in a minute, but hopefully I will be able to come on tomorrow morning to catch up on a few threads (Notably Ships’ Logs, IBCF and Kagy, I have not abandoned you, I will return!!)
Pies!

We had a 2-hour delay today. But I didn’t know about it. So when I got to school, they made us wait in the Black Box Theater for 2 hours. And since it’s the first day of the new semester, I didn’t have any homework or projects I could work on. And since I cleaned my backpack out, I didn’t have anything else to do. So I sat there for 2 hours doing nothing.

We might have one tomorrow, but either way I still have to do my presentation.
We might have one Friday.
One local school district has already canceled school for Thursday AND FRIDAY…it’s not even snowing, for goodness sake. So this means they’ll have been closed all week.
I’m going to laugh when they’re still open a week after we’re on summer vacation.

587~ A Kun collapsable. It likes to eat hair too. It’s a miracle that I’m not bald, considering how many hunks of hair I’ve lost to that thing. Good luck on your recital!
591~ Yeah, it’s funny. I’ve noticed people as people on the blog more now. Not that I didn’t before, but now I notice who’s talking, what threads they frequent, their writing styles and their interests. It’s funny, even MBers that I haven’t met a Kokon. I feel like I know better since then. *shrugs* Did that make any sense?
So, everyone is guessing ages? Okay, guess mine. I’ve posted it before, but those who don’t know can take a wild guess.
Actually though, it might not really be easy, since no one ever really can figure me out. People either think I’m in college or 12. Even my best friend forget how old I was the other day….ah well, we’ve opnly known each other since she was 8. (She’s two years younger than me.)

621- Everyone thinks I’m twelve. *irritated* OK, maybe not everyone. *thinks* The only person whom I know for sure ever thought I was younger than 14 was T. And he’s weird anyway.

603~ I’m guessing 15 or 16. No?
612~ I’d go with 13 or 14.
Anyone care to guess me? I’m not 20, although some people think I am, and I’m not 11 either, FYI.

How old do people think I am?
Last week I was reading my chemistry notes on the bus, and the person next to me said:”Is that biology?”
Me: “No, Chemistry.”
Her: “Oh, okay. I just started a biology class today. What are you studying?”
Me: “Chemistry, for a final.”
Her: “No, I mean what do you go to school for?”
Me: “Um, I go to –name of school–”
Her: “No, I mean, what are you here for? Nursing, …”
Me: “I’m in high schoool.”
Her: “Oh, that’s right, I forgot –name of school– was a high school.”
::sigh::
Also, this is one of the longest threads I’ve seen in awhile

I’m here, but I have to go very soonish. Will the GAPAs allow a mostly harmless link? If not, I encourage the GAPAs to go there, even if they can’t allow it through screening.
But wait a while for the site to load, it takes a few seconds.
[No line, but if you Google “HEMA” (a Dutch department store) it comes up at the top. You’re right, it’s a clever bit of advertising. –Admin.]

No homework for the second day in a rowwwwww!
So weird things happened today. Like hearing people describe what acid is like. Basically anything people think on acid I think in my dreams and I don’t even have to do drugs for it.
Jumped-to Conclusion of the day: Sleep is the same as acid.

I’m a bit nervous right now. The school spelling bee is tonight. Because I was a national semifinalist, everyone except for myself seems to believe that I will just win this. In fact, there’s a pretty good chance that I will (not to brag). But what if I misspeak or blank out or something? You would think that with my experience in spelling bees, that I would have a certain sangfroid, but I’m a nervous wreck right now.

Wow, I wasn’t here for what, a day or two? And now there’s twice as many posts… Anyway, the reason I wasn’t here is driver’s ed. I got to drive for the first time EVER yesterday!! It was so fun, but scary at the same time too. I can’t wait till I can drive again.

Brain not working.
As for guessing ages, I’m 15.
For once, I’m actually going to enjoy history class. Next Tuesday or Wednesday, my group et moi get to teach the class for half the period. The general subject is reform movements in the pre-Civil War time period. My group is doing ‘moral’ reforms- education reforms, prison reforms, the Prohibition movement, and the Second Great Awakening. So we had to figure out a creative way that we want to present this. We don’t want to bore the class. So I came up with the idea (I’m not just being egotistical) that we each pick a person who basically symbolizes the movement that we researched. I’m going to be Dorothea Dix, Ben will be Horace Mann, and Chloe and Dan will be…people. Anyways, we’re each going to make up five questions, and put together a little quiz, and the people in the class have to come and talk to us to try and get the answers to the questions. Everybody who gets all of the questions right gets candy.
You guys probably don’t care, but I think that it’s a cool idea.

So I won the 8th grade bee. I won on amateur, though for a minute they thought that I misspelled archeology (the spelling I just used is the one I gave). It has an alternate spelling. My little sister missed dependent in the 5th grade bee, which is incidentally the word I misspelled in 5th grade, though we misspelled it in different ways.

642- Do you go to ATA?
I might have a snow day tomorrow. There is a winter storm warning for ice and snow and such.
There is a flu going around my school. Yesterday 38% of the school was absent but over 50% need to be for it to be considered an epidemic and school to be canceled.
I want a snow day. It would be a nice end to my homework free 2 days.
My friend stole my calculator today! We have been playing this video game on it since 3rd period yesterday. He better get to a high level if I don’t get it back from a snow day.

Sorry if this is a double post, but they used both neophyte and cesspool in the 7th grade bee! My sister couldn’t work out why I was so excited that they used neophyte.

Good Things About My Day:
Why are finals so ridiculously easy?
Today was the last day of the semester. Next semester I go into Honors English and Advanced Drama, and K will be in science with me.
I love the Salmon Bowl.
Rehearsal was fun.
My English presentation went well. I still wish I could stop shaking when I perform.
I GOT MY MUSE!!!!!!
Bad Things About My Day:
I’m so jealous of Midnight Fiddler it isn’t even funny.
My Honors project is due Monday.
I need to write a three-page play review.
Random Fact:
Assistant Stage Manager is just a short way of saying “Person who runs lines, makes phone calls, manages rehearsal props, and is unofficial understudy.”
I love it.

How about “Frivolous February”?

650- Well, the first one was last year’s title and the last one reminds me of Pay It Forward*, so maybe one of the other two.
*Funny story. Sort of. A couple-few years ago, my mom rented Pay It Forward, laboring under the delusion that it was a “feel-good” movie. It was not. My friend Emily** and I stopped watching somewhere in the middle. When we came back, there was some weird sort of memorial thing going and apparently the main character had been stabbed. I can’t think of “feel-good” without thinking of that.
**Whatever happened to Emily, anyway?
