Hi!
Wait. I just got here and I have to go. Let me see if I can stay somehow…
Red-tailed HAWK
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
Red-tailed HAWK
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?
2~Join the club! I love tall ships, as does Alice.
3~ Hi HAWK, haven’t seen you for awhile.
5-Hi! I have been on a couple of threads, but not much on the random thread. I will respond to your e-mail, but I haven’t had a chance to say something interesting yet! But I haven’t forgotten you, fear not
Red-tailed HAWK
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.
[/boring reminiscence]
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…
Red-tailed HAWK
Maybe it’s made of ink.
I love the picture! I want some soup now…..mmm…..
2- Yay! *rejoices in nauticism* And don’t you dare tell me that’s not a word! (Even though it isn’t.)
*giggles* I love the pic as always. Musestrone soup…Hahahaha!
Happy belated Martin Luther King Day!
It was yesterday and for some reason I forgot to put it on here.
I must go now and get ready for school.
I can’t wait for summer. This Friday is the end of our first semester so I hope the second half of the year seems as fast as the first.
I can’t wait for Spring Break.
STAR TREK IS EVIL!!!
Why am I posting again? Beats me. But anyway, I request a new thread on Star Wars and how it is so much better than Star Trek.
Sorry, Mr. Spock.
Uncanny? Un-Canny? Cans of soup? Hehehe. Amazing picture.
Along with all the cans of soup in the picture, there’s one un-can. That’s what I meant.
20-Heheh! I would have caught that myself if I wasn’t in such a rush last night…That’s funny!
How do you think of these things…and do you slip them in in Science? 
Red-tailed HAWK
Wait, do you mean the Musetrone soup, or is there something that I’m missing? *beats head against keyboard*
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.
18- Here, here! Star Wars rocks!
14- Anybody else here into, um… astrocism?
23-Aha. Yes, I was kind of worried that I was missing something really obvious. Uncanny, eh?
Such people exist? *is shocked*
Yay for regents week, and no skool. Except for the actual regents…
Finals week…
Latin regents in ten minutes. Wish me luck, peeps.
Carpe diem, KY!
(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.
Well, I breezed through my Music Theory final. The Algebra 2 midterm was a bit harder, and my calculator’s batteries nearly died halfway through. But it’s 12:15, and I’m already home and have had lunch.
(29) T-shirts, anyone?
Apparently not many people are on. Which isn’t that surprising since I would still be in school right now if this weren’t midterms week.
32 – Yes, I would be in school if I wasn’t sick.
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.
31 – Great idea!
32 – Ha ha! I don’t have midterms! (sorry for gloating)
Woof. First day of the 2nd semester, in which I have 3 AP classes and 1 Honors class. Two of the AP classes are elective, though (Spanish and European History), so it shouldn’t be all bad.
I don’t have school today because my school randomly gives us the day off. it’s nice.
(35) Hmm. Is he from the “me” or the “slackers” generation?
38-I don’t know. He’s from the generation who is before mine and believes that people can be insulted into becoming perfect.
pic = lulz x ∞.
durr. too much homework AND an ortho appointment. i don’t want my braces to be tightened! but a color change is in order, truly. I think that perhaps yellow and green? What do you think? Right now I have red and black.
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
41-Thanks. That helped a bit.
A spike pie to all midterm finals. *pies*

\____:twisted:____/
Wait, I don’t get the picture. I’m confuzzled. It just has the regular Campbell label on my computor…
Mom went to Ohio to sort through her dead father’s stuff with her sister and mother. Tis depressing, so I didn’t go.
Ron says she’s seriously gonna look into a shrink.
44-The one on the right should have one about Muse.
I’m sorry about your grandfather.
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?
28- Thanks. I think I did good.
34- That stinks. We are the third generation of the Space Age, and the one that probably will go to Mars. And then that mean teacher will have to eat his words, won’t he?
46-Yeah I guess.
Oh Beavo sorry I almost forgot…
*hughughug*
27- we don’t have to take a Latin Regents.
31- OHHH!!!! pick me! pick me!!!
44- If it makes you feel any better, my dad is looking into a shrink for me.
Meh… I probably should be studying for my science test….
On a pathetic note, I asked if people were allowed to read the Golden Compass. I found exactly 2.
49- My mom didn’t know he was an atheist as we are strictly Catholic but I’ve read stuff way past my maturity level *sticks straw up nose* although it doesn’t take musch for that. She trusts me not to believe all i read in fiction.
Okay, my parnets are having a discussion about shoes. Weird.
One never knows, around my house….
I’d LOVE a shirt with a “Musestroni” picture on it. I like this one.
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!
/gradster(1)/
P.S. My browser’s spellchecker is going crazy – bilingual wordsmithing is not its thing.
Ahhhh…we got the day off school today too. Second semester starts tomorrow. I have gym again. *sigh* I had health last quarter…It’s hard to figure out which one is worse. >.
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
mostall 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?
Argh. Roar. *hates school*
I looked forward to two things all day (and no, math class is NOT one of them (most demotivational class I’ve ever taken)), and one of them was postponed, and the other wasn’t nearly as fun. Grr.
@51 – It’s Musestrone – read my previous (
it’s not just grammar). And also I believe @31 was talking about a Museblog shirt – especially the bottom one, correct me if I’m wrong, Mr. Coontz.
/gradster(1)/
55-yes, well, who doesn’t hate school?
54~ Something tells me that isn’t going to go over too big.
Me duele la pierna. He tenido un caballo de Carlos por mucho del dia.
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…
59- Er… *translates with all the skill of a freshman in an extremely slow Spanish 1 class*
My leg hurts… uh…something about Carlos for much day…
59- Your leg hurts because you’ve been riding the horse of Carlos for a while. Or something like that.
60~ I’ve been known to throw math homework acroos the room. Ruined the book, too. Luckily it was a spiral bound, so I could re-assemble it. *hugs*
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.)
School, ugh, why talk about depressing subjects like this on MB?
I’m repeating 9th grade, and pretty much doing awfully in everything…again. >_
On a different note, I have finally figured out how to send pictures in an email. I got some pictures a while back of a leaf that looked suspiciously like Kokopelli. Should I send them in, or would I just be aggrevating everyone?
(66) Midnight Fiddler, you can always send it. If it’s really that aggravating, we simply won’t post it.
Okay, it’ll be coming to ya in a little bit….
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.
Asgard is a girls’ name meaning “garden of the Gods”.
“My leg hurts, I’ve had a charlie horse for much of the day.”
Does anyone ever get the feeling that they were born in the wrong century?
Woah, woah, woah. Why has the page gone all weird?!?! It looks nothing like MB, what is going on? Is it because my computer hates me, and is rebelling because I’m making it attatch files to an email? ACK!
Okay, now it’s back to normal….weird.
60-*hugs* I want to do that all the time.
I seriously have issues with getting my hopes up too much. I am all optimistic and think everything will be great and then it’s not and for some reason I still get surprised by it no matter how many times it happens.
45-She thinks I’m clinically depressed. My grandfather died sometime in December, but I didn’t actually know him that well. It hit my mom really hard, though.
47-Thank you. *hug back*
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.
71~ All the time. But what does that have to do with a “Charlie Horse?”
71- Nothing at all! That’s why it was separated by two lines!
See, now I’ve moved on to a different subject: curling. Has anyone ever been curling?
I sometimes wish I was born in the late 18th century.
No more abortions unless the thread’s life is in danger!
…sorry…i have no excuse…
*is insane*
75-Aw. I won’t eat you.
I wish I could give people on here real hugs.
High school is a lot less hugging than middle school.
High school is a lot less of a lot of things than middle school.
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.
Hullo,
I have been fiiddling around with photoshop trying to make a valentine for the GAPAs. It’s not going well. I’ve gotten the first part done, but I’m hitting a dead end. How do you type things on?
64-joy. I can’t wait ’til next year.
59- ‘My leg hurts. I’ve had a Charlie horse for much of the day.’ Only it took me a bit of time to realize what you meant by caballo de Carlos. Somehow I don’t think expressions are normally translated quite so literally… ^_^
(71) My century hasn’t arrived yet.
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.
77- That’s why I’m building a time machine, see.
I often think I’d fit in better in the mid-18th century. At least then I wouldn’t have to continually defend my musical tastes.
I’m tired. Ugh. I don’t really know why, since I got up rather late, didn’t do all that much, and didn’t even spend a ton of time crying like I did yesterday. Crying really wears one out.
70-umm not quite. asgard is the equivalent of heaven in norse mythology. i guess it can be a girls name, but i dont see why it couldnt be a boy’s name. sorry to correct you.. but, yeah.
79-*begs to differ* but i really like my high school, so meh.
54- i would like that.
finals. HAH! i finished thems last week. this week is regents week. and i have no regents. ergo, i have no school. *does no school dance*
78-Doctor, we need one straitjacket over here! No, make that two, I’m not feeling too well either.
83-Neither has mine, I’m still waiting for the century that fits me just right.
86- Okay. My bad. Or rather, the website’s bad. *stuffs web site in closet* And no dinner for you!
67~ Did you get it yet? I sent it a little bit ago.
I think I’m going to turn in, since I’m really tired, and Mom will probably explode if I’m still on the computer when she comes in. It’s messy when parents do that, so I’d really rather avoid the whole situation altogether…ooops, here she is.
Yes, we got it. Good night, MF!
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.
84-I’m fine with going to school as long as it’s elementary, ahhhh-no periods or schedules…then again, in high school I’ll say I want to be in middle school.
83- agreed.
I do like the eighties for all of the fantasy writing at that time by my favorite authors. but that is a decade, not a century.
In my middle school everybody’s always giving everybody else hugs. Not guys-guys, but girls-guys, guys-girls, and girls-girls. Some people even have “FREE HUGS” posted on their locker, and anybody who needs a hug just goes there.
I just read the first chapter of Mister Monday (on the website) to my sister, and now I can hardly speak.
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.
94- I never take the “free hugs” people seriously. They scare me.
In my schools, no one really hugs freely. If someone is having a bad day their friend might hug them but other than that there aren’t that many. Which is sad. Hugs are great!
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.
See you around, Alice, on and off though it may be
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.
My mom’s birthday is today! ::finishes making present::
Was that Kokopelli outside Midnight Fiddler’s window? You decide. Take a look at the evidence on Muse on the Loose.
About the hugs thing, there was actually a hugging ban at a nearby school (not mine).
64- If you like science, I would certainly recommend Longitude by Dava Sobel.
*is on top of the world*
I just completely pwned both my French and English midterms. English, in particular, was RIDICULOUSLY EASY. Even though it’s kind of pathetic, since a midterm for an Honors class should not be that easy. Actually, the class is pathetically easy. Whatever. I’m happy right now. And now I have to finish my gym essay, and study for chem.
Meh. I am home sick, and that does not please me. On the other hand, I got google earth.
94-Aw. I wish my school was like that.
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.
Hugs are good. But are school does not allow Publicly Displayed Affection.
I had a whole bunch to say, but lost it. Sorry.
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.
Today is national pie day!! *pies* [}~ [}~
71- Or the wrong world entirely…
91- Sad bit is I think I remember you lending Andy your bass. Sad for me not you.
They hardly fit around the neck, and I can’t press most of the strings without the others going down too.
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.
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 never hug in public; I think it’s really awkward.
Today? Pie day? Yay! *pies all* =[|} =[|} =[|}
So it is! This historic occasion deserves an official MuseBlog announcement.
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.
Gapas put there- Was my email with a photo attachment received?
(119) How about a “Free Pie” sign?
(120) Aye.
121-That would be pretty neat. It could have worked for national pie day today. Did you get my Kokopelli fire picture?
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.
106- Google Earth rocks. If you want to see the radio dish that was shown in the movie Contact, turn on the “geographic web” function, hover over Puerto Rico and zoom in on the isolated spot in the jungle where there are so many photo symbols.
63, 74, 75- Thank you. There is nothing wrong with hugs (complexu) *smiles in spite of self* *Screams, remembering midterm tomorrow and dashes off*
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?
It is my tv addiction.
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.
@58 – I didn’t expect it to…. But one nevers knows, does one?
@59 – ¡Buen trabajo! ¿Es cierto que estas en español dos, sÃ?
@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.
@GAPA (not GAPAS or GAPAI, remember) re84 – any response?

P.S. I feel sad knowing that as I post this, several (probably over 20) NEW comments to read and evaluate will have been posted. Ah well, such is life.
I’m off to game for a bit, thank god the fruits of midterms week and MLK day and an all freshmen-core activity have finally come through and I have some free time.
BY THE WAY – I think freshmen cores are a wonderful idea – if anyone’d like to discuss……?
/gradster(1)/
P.S.
RandomOther random question – who has heard “Killer Joe”? For that matter, who likes jazz? For THAT matter, who likes AND plays jazz?130 – I’m playing Killer Joe in jazz band right now! In fact, I love jazz and play jazz on two instruments (and sing jazz when my chorus teacher has us do a jazz song).
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.
O jeez double posting time.
I need some Elizabethan help.
What are the proper uses of thee and thou?
I read the little lesson from a few months ago but I still don’t completely get it.
Would it be correct to say “I wish only the best upon thee”?
Can you replace all objects with thee, such as objects of prepositions, direct objects, etc.?
blehhhh
well, on the upside of the day, I met with Romana today and we talked about lots of stuff, including Henry Darger. Google him and be horrified.
(133) You’ve nailed it.
129- Try to ignore the pun but i actually try to keep it “penned” up inside. What usually calms me is thinking of the way my story would be written, describing my surroundings as they would be in a book.
116- H is a theater person, so’s K. The people who have offered free hugs are not.
I don’t think. I’m not going to pretend I know all the theater people.
I love theater people. They make me feel like I belong.
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.
Go on a certain’ video site (Y _ O T_ B _) and type in “why is the rum gone remix” or “jar of dirt remix”. They’re really funny!!!!!!!!!!!!
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- I know what you mean. II can’t really elaborate much more other than I seriously, honestly know what you mean
140 – That does sound nice. I did Spanish at my old elementary school, so I was basically fluent, but now I’ve been away from it for 3 years and I’m not allowed to take it until I’m in 8th grade, and may not even be able to then.
And I am back, in all my glory and splindifurousness!
Now I’m bored.
123-woah! sorry to hear that. *tries to comfort without comfort hug*
*reads posts and dosn’t have the energy to reply to anything*
I typed in “Just for laughs alien” on *ahem* a video site that was *mentioned* in post 138. Go do it. Now.
It’s hilarious, it brought me to tears. If you watch it, you’ll know what it’s like living with Ron and me in the same house.
*wishes her Spanish class would speak entirely in Spanish as it is supposed to* Either that or get my hmm. fifth grade fluency back. I was probably the most fluent then. I’m in Spanish Immersion meaning my class is supposed to be all in Spanish.
127- No offence, but Ghost Hunters just is to psuedoscientific for me.
Well, I survived the Chem midterm, which was the hardest one I’ll take this year. Except for maybe the Chem final.
History tomorrow.
And then, if somehow a miracle happens, I might go ice skating with some of my friends, and then maybe see Sweeny Todd. If we can get someone to drive us.
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.
HOLY BLEEP!
I got a 102 on my Music Theory final! That’s 250 out of a total of 245 points! That means I have a 99.97 final grade for that class! That also means I had the highest grade in that class!
150 – Good job!
I am so glad I don’t have finals. Then again, I will next year. Everyone had math finals last week, but I do math online.
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.
Yayness!
147-That’s ok. I think sometimes the EVPs are not real. Most of them just sound like tapes skipping to me. I still like the show a lot though.
Today on the bus my friend CB tried to scare me by screaming my name really loud when I wasn’t looking and I turned around and asked him what he wanted and he said that it’s too hard to scare me. We started talking about how I am really weird when I talk to people and CB said that if I was getting mugged I would probably ask the person what they wanted the money for.
150-Awesome! *wishes he had that grade*
End of second quarter! *breathe*
My heartrate is elevated. My fingers tingle with the shock of wood vibrating. My torso is heaving, my scalp is sweaty, and my hair is messed up. My arms are steaming, my lips are dry and chapped, and my cheeks and chin are frigid. But I’m alive, gloriously so!
We just got back from my violin lesson. I’m attempting to think of something witty and clever to ay, and failing dismally, thus this post. *is tired*
54 – I READ XKCD! HIGH FIVE! *pies* which comic are you talking about?
123 – Nobody here hates you. x3 (
155-Umm… mind telling us what you’re talking about?
142-like YAOTUBE? YEOTUBE? YIOTUBE? YOOTUBE? YUOTUBE?
wow, youtube really is god…
149-true story, there are plenty of shy upperclassmen out there *waves* who would rather talk to an underclassman they don’t know than an upperclassman they don’t know.
a hint for dealing with the scary upperclassmen though-just keep reminding yourself that they are going to leave in a couple years and you’ll never see them again. that advice basically got me through my freshman days (back in the day, y’know. god i’m old)
156 – Ah violin lessons. My sister’s about to go to one of those. So now I have to listen to her practice. I never knew you could do such atrocities to a school orchestra audition piece. At least her non-school orchestra is playing West Side Story for the next concert. 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.
*breathes* i had my Algebra exam today!!!! it took me half an hour and we had 80 minutes! I feel smart….
158- I was taking my dog for a walk in a blizzard-type thing, and I was running, jumping, climbing between two slender trees, and whacking at dead wood with a broken branch. It was incredibly invigorating.
I’m at the library now, and the whole place has been taken over by teenagers. I must look scary to them, because nstead of taking the computer next to me, they lurk behind. I didn’t think the Mostly Harmless logo on my shirt was that scary…
153- EVPs are like the audio version of seeing Elvis on a pumpkin or something.
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*
145~ *dies laughing* Okay, now I know that if we had to share a house one of us would commit homicide. I’m not sure which.
Kidding.
129- no i wouldn’t get mad.
132- on the first day of school i couldn’t find the stairs and my home room is on the second floor *snickers at self* i kept starting down a halway turning back and standing by the auditorium because i didn’t know where to go. *chuckles*
140- thanks grant.
thanks to every one. sometimes i just get in really bad moods that upset my whole being. and these are happening more often i think. but it really messes me up. thank you for your support. thank you so much.
I’m seriously laughing my head off and I’ll probably get thrown out of the library because I’m making a disturbance.
the remix movies mentioned in post 138 are HALARIOUS. Can you tell what I’ve been doing? Forgive the double post, if this turns out to be one…
54, 157 – me too. I adore the recent-ish one, To Be Wanted.
123- Hug! I dunno if it would help, but you could try writing a poem/story/whatever works for you/draw something etc. about the masks you feel you wear in different situations.
167- Cheers! I’m always happy to be of assistance.
I got pie! I ate pie! I celebrated with pie!
*pies Beavo*
Aghhh…i tried to write something in my last post but it got CUT OFF for some weird reason. meh. I shall simply mention the gist of it: Brains are awesome. I love brains. People who are also interested in brains should talk to me. xD probably nobody will pay attention to that. Oh well.
Nothing interesting happened today. Sigh. Actually it did. We worked with dry ice in science =] That was fun.
31- HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!
173- Brains like, anatomy brains, or brains like, thinking brains?
Ew, brains.
173- I think there was an article in Muse a couple months ago about a man who collects and studies animal brains.
I feel the urge to make sculptures with glass.
Glass is not good for me to be near, so I don’t know why I would want to do that.
173- “Braaaaaiiiins…… braaaaaaiiins!” -stereotypical zombie on its interests.
I ought to do my homework.
I just made an absolutely beautiful and delicious Chinese dish involved chili peppers, and now I feel horribly painful. *washes hands* *washes face* *rinses eyes* *submerges entire body in tub* *oil spreads everywhere* AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is hilarius with a capital HILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
It’s sooo funny (though not entirely clean humor) and he has the entire movie.
178-one would think they would be less coherent or understandable. kinda like brrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhnnnnnnnnzzzzz.
Zombie brains? Oh, no, what has the world come to? When MuseBloggers are forced to talk about zombie brains, hey ya…
(Although it would be like “braihnz i wan braihnz yunnn”)
And then they would eat you.
(182, Beavo) On the other hand, can you think of a better place to talk about zombie brains?
Re: Zombie brains: I saw Shaun of the Dead a while ago. It was funny.
29- T-Shirts! Especially No. 3
Attention all participants in the second role-playing writing (the one about settling a planet)! It is dying. Please return to the thread to revive it.
Dude, do you guys know that slightly sore feeling your muscles get when you work out? The front of my entire torso feels like that.
186 – I’d try and help, but I don’t know anything about it.
well I do so hate to bore everyone with my life but considering half of you have already scrolled past this post now XD I might as well
After finals all week I now have to finished reading Heart of Darkness and find+explain 25 quotes, do eight (count ’em, eight) AP Euro outlines on the Industrial Revolution, go to church/confirmation class all day tomorrow and essentially do nothing, and find the time to sleep and not go completely insane.
At least I have today off but even so -headdesk-
189 – Ouch. -sends you moral support-
I’ve got a 15 minute presentation that I’m presenting on Thursday that I haven’t even started on. Blech.
190- *hugs* … on what?
189- EIGHT outlines? Ouch.
191 – My school, basically. We’re presenting it at some conference for teachers/principals/superintendents. And they only gave us about two weeks to work on it in the first place.
189- Oych. I’m sorry!
Anyway, since this has essentially gone to a complaination (compilation / complaining – I always try to explain my words) about the last few weeks of January (and occasionally bits of Zombie brains thrown in) and the midterms / Regents / finals / and homework of everyone’s life, I might as well throw in my 6 of 7 cents.
I just had a Math A regents for NYS, and it was the most hair-pulling 2 hours of my life!! The famed “If John- the captain of the football team- has flipped a coin 3 times-all heads-to see who kicks off first, what is the probability that he will get a heads the next time?” [No, not exact wording]
Answer me that one, oh brilliant MBers! 0.o
(By the way Robert, keep up the puns, they make me laugh – or cry, depending on how bad it is, hehe)
OH GOD I AM SO BEHIND HERE
…
I should get on here more but my attention is drifting away… and I never get on aim so I’m basically cut off from the Muser community. Not good.
On another note, I got into SOAR! SOAR stands for something to do with art and every school in my town picks a few lucky kids to have their art presented at the town hall. And I got in! For the first time since second grade! YAY ME!
194 – 1/2?
195 – Congratulations, Kiki!
195- Muse people have AIM? And they know each other’s screen names?
If they do, they don’t learn them on the blog. As you know, swapping contact information is verboten here.
Trele Cone freeeskiier-sorry I only go on here once a million years ToT indeed, very possible that we live in the same town…nyaa!
because that would be very cool indeed…

I will just be quiet now and live as a hermit for ever and ever
194: I’m fairly certain it’s 50%.
195: Congratulations!!
I don’t have anything else to say. (too *yawn* tired…)
175: BOTH! How the anatomy of the brains relates to what you think and do. Everything. =]
177: Yes, I saw that. That was fun. My favorite issues have been the ones that have to do with brains and languages. Such as.. May/June 2006 — the languages one; April 2006 — The one with the awesome article on memory; and March 2006 – the one about skin colors, just ’cause.
178: Yeah, that was what my friend commented when I obsessed to her. *shrug* go figure.
194: I also think it’s 50%…
alright. what is regents?
204 – Some sort of test, I believe.
183-YES. My basement.
193-Surprise them and be like “School really sucks, the teachers are witches, and the bathrooms! Don’t get me started on the bathrooms…” and they won’t let you present the rest, so you won’t have to write it.
Mom came home, and the first thing she said was “****. CHARLES, what is this crap all over my study floor? PICK THIS **** UP!”
And now for something completely different:
Have any of you guys seen the plans that Virgin just unveiled for the new spaceplane?
206 – No, cuz I really love my school and I volunteered for the presentation anyways. So I have to/want to do it. I’m just wishing we had more time. x.X
And your mom must have been in a bad mood.
207 – Nope. Are they cool?
207-What?! I must see them. I knew they wanted to do that but I didn’t know they actually have plans now.
I got my Musery stuff, and I look pretty cool in my Koko for President shirt, if I do say so myself.
People should go look at Muse on the Loose.
Way cool! Links aren’t allowed, so Google-search “SpaceShipTwo” or “WhiteKnight2”.
Meh…
I feel overwhelmed History Day is on the 2nd and District Science fair is on the 22. (I placed in skool science fair. WHOO!)
Type this, exactly, without quotes, into a google search box: “the answer to lie, the universe, and everything”
I was playing around with the settings on my computer and I found out how to change the screen from “white on black” to “black on white” Now everything is the opposite color! MB looks so cool!
[You mean “…life, the universe, and everything” — right? –Admin.]
oops
sorry, my laptop is…on top of my lap. It makes it harder to type
208-Sifting through your dead father’s stuff for a week can’t be very happyful.
214 – Yeah…that would make sense…:(
If you type “Heath Ledger is dead” into Google translation, English to Spanish, it comes up with “Tom Cruise esta muerte.”
216-Woah. Last time I checked Heath Ledger =/= Tom Cruise.
I will not rely on the Google translator if I go to a Spanish speaking country.
Beavo The Great!
l’m not sure lf you are aware that in the Musiverse, you are one of the five protecters of Museworld. Would you like to join in on the epics in the current pie war? lf not, l will post as you, but then again, not as you.
anyone want to clarify what regents is? I gathered that it was a test. hello?
218-I am utterly confused. Enlighten me, please.
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.
But I would like to join, yes.
Alice (221): Sorry you are feeling so awful. When I’m feeling blue I close my eyes and dream up delicious pie recipes until I fall asleep. Maybe a variation on that theme will work for you. Crazy gelatin dessert recipes work too.
221) For venting frustration LOUD music always helps me but I don’t think you’re that type of person…hmmm I have something saved for occasions like this. Okay here it is. You could try throwing ice at stuff…you know like at the ground outside stuff like that. Rip up old newspapers….
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.
217- Nevermind, I just checked it again, and it seems they fixed it.
219 – A regents is a state-wide test. Ex, my friend over in Syrcuse, NY took the same Regents Test I did, way over on the eastern side of NY.
And the answer to the coin-flipping question is 1/2 or one out of two.
221- I always write stories whenever I’m angry or sad. Even if I start with the middle of a story I’ll never finish it always makes me feel better *hugs*
31 – Indeed!
Did anyone (preferably the GAPA as that was who I sent it to) happen to obtain my drawing; via e-mail?
(229) Capricious, the drawing we received was one we had already posted. Did you mean to send something else?
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 actually have a lot of ways to vent anger…
231- ARGH you have a BIKE!!!!!!! So does Mother. I want a bike!
Thank you for the support, guys. I find it very helpful to pour out my heart to the MuseBloggers. I love you guys.
232-we’re always here.
221-When I can’t vent to anyone, I
kill somebodylisten to some good music.232-*hugs* I love y’all too.
231- Or blasting music helps too….. *considers turning down ipod* *turns up volume higher*
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.
So naturally I have an inexplicable urge to make eggplant parmesan.
I want to clean the house with a wave of my hand, put on some sweatpants and a huge warm sweater, make myself a boiling hot mug of tea with honey, and curl up in a chair to do my English homework.
230 – Ah, no. Thank you. : ) That was the one!
221- I drink lemonade and look at the stars. Knowing that there are things so much greater than myself stops the bad feelings.
239- That the thing. Around here you never see the stars.
I was just reading the November random thread and people were talking about blog histories. So I decided to take

240- Big city light pollution?
}}i{{
243-What?
I was reading Walden. I can’t stand it. He seems slightly arrogant about the state of human affairs.
If you Google-search “Phoenix” the tenth hit is about the Mars lander.
243- Dammit, Bananas! What have I told you? What has everyone else told you? This is not a place to be spammed! This is a a holy sanctuary from the madness of the world!
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.
227-I took the math A regents, too! It was easier than I thought it would be. Apparently, I made a rounding mistake. Ahem. Ahem. A rounding mistake. *goes to kindergarten* I think it was on the lighthouse one.
And, yeah, they’re like NY state tests that (I think) most people need to pass to graduate.
I’ve been meaning to read Walden. I’ve just never gotten around to it…
I haven’t read it, but the wikipedia article says that Thoreau only spent $25 the entire time…
246- Excuse me?!?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?! First off, I am not spamming!!!! It is a smiley my older sister taught me when I was nine!!! Secondly, This is not a sancuary from the madness of the world!!!! IT IS THE CENTER!!!! DO YOU HEAR ME,CHAIRMAN?!?! THE CENTER!!!!!!! I NOW PROCLAIM CYBER WAR ON YOU!!!!!!!!!
Hmph.
*drops safe on chairman*
*throws rocks at chairman*
*squirts chairman with water gun with acid in it*
*eats all chairman’s muffins*
REVENGE IS SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!
250- Thou art being horrid. Cease.
It probably says something very bad about familial relationships when one is forced to bar the door against one’s own sister.
She was holding me hostage and trying to use me to get inside E’s house.
250- As sweet as pie? *pies Bananas*
Perhaps I can *mediate* this conflict before it escalates into a flame war.
GB, posts containing nothing but smileys are disapproved of under blog protocol, unless upon a thread specifically designated for smileys.
(251) Sounds fairly typical of sibling-sibling relations to me.
253- well, what are you going to change it to? A pie war?
*PIE X 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000*
250- Crikey! Ya done it now! *sharpens cavalry sabre used in Civil War and proceeds to flay Bananas in twain*
A holy sanctuary from the madness of the world? I always thought this was a sanctuary from the normality of the world.
255, 256– My point excactly.
Please do control yourselves, or I will have to deliver spike pies into your faces.
I might point out that while this is a center of madness, it’s the happy, entertaining kind, rather than the you’re-not-safe-scare-everyone madness.
241: Wow. You know, I never actually finished mine.
251- I have had to hold my bedroom door shut against my brother when he’s been trying to beat me up……
258- that was a JOKE!
What happens if we get to 400 post before the months up?
259- Ah.
Are you listening, GB?
So much for mediation. *straitjackets USECGO and GB*
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.
Both of you just cut it out. This is so ********** stupid and pointless.
*snarls*
*is in a bad mood*
Incredible moment of irony:
An ad just came on TV: “Depression can turn you into someone you don’t recognize”
265 – I agree. Either GB will catch on not to PoPo or he won’t. No use in fighting over it.
Hey, I calmed down! I stopped! I tried to move on and help Bananas with learning about the blog! Who’s always the guy who tries to help? Who’s the guy who posts long, consoling posts when people have problems? Who’s the guy who seems to lose all credibility when something silly like this crops up, even though he’s been here forever? This upsets me.
Wow. I come to see what’s up on MB, and there’s this great war going on. *ducks*
231~ When I’m upset I have to write. It’s one of the only things that I can do when I’m really upset, really.
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. We were talking on the phone today, and decided to run the idea by some others, to increase our cast. Two people alone just can’t quite put on a Shakespere play, though goodness knows, we’ve tried.
I actually laughed at that. Spike pie me now.
My great grandma gave me Watership Down today. She didn’t even know that I want to read it, she just came over and gave it to me.
My head hurts. It also looks rad from my new hairdo today.
I have been threatened with a clarinet by my sister.
Me: *walking into house* *trips*
Sister: Why are you so loud?!
Me: I tripped.
Sister: Well don’t be so loud next time!
Me: Shut up! *throws juice pouch*
Sister: YOU HIT MY CLARINET!
Me: I didn’t hit anything.
Sister: It’s going to break now and if you got juice on it the reed will break from the sugar and blahblahblah!
Me: I didn’t hit your clarinet!
SIster: I”m going to kill you! *picks up clarinet* runs toward me*
Me: *runs away* *hides in room*
My sister is a spoiled little brat.
That’s enough!!!
A spike pie to the next person who says something about Bananas, madness, muffin-stealing, or fighting. Let us all just forget this happened and go on with our normal blog lives.
NORMAL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Why would anyone want that?
“Normal” is in the eyes of the beholder.
yes it is.
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?”
275 – Sorry if I bothered you with my response. Things were just getting a little out of hand. Generally, you’re a great part of the MB!
275- Aw. I’m sorry, Grant. I would notice. *hugs* I’m sorry.
275- Is outer space allowed?
275- Sorry about that, Grant.
275~ We’d miss you. From reading your posts on here I can gather that you are a thoughtful person. I also can guess that you are rather sarcastic, which often gets people upset when they aren’t sure exactly how you meant something. I doubt that you were trying to get everyone riled up, but it came off that way.
275- Sorry, Grant. Disregard my previous post.
I need to stop posting things that I know I’ll regret.
Great. Now I’m ******** crying.
And today was actually a good day, until I turned on the computer.
242-I don’t live in a big city, but I live next to a Jewish temple and a high school football stadium, so it’s basically the same thing. Heh.
266-That happened to me last week, when I threw a plastic cup at the TV, and it turned on, showing a depression commerical.
*tip-toes away before getting caught up in the micro-pie war between Grant and Bananas*
281~ *hugs* Everyone says stuff they wish they hadn’t. It can still be a good day though…..right?
275-I’d miss you! *hugs* When a *high-posting* MuseBlogger dissapears, I’m always like “Hmm, wher’d [___] go? WHERE DID THEY GO? HAVE YOU GOT THEM? GIVE THEM BACK!”
I smell
Wushtisher Wvioustershire Worsticirethat salty sauce. Did someone open a bottle? *goes to check*285 – Worcester sauce. One of my infamous spelling words (as is just about everything).
(284, 285) Or “Worcestershire.”
285-AHHH! SPELLING! *screams* I just remembered I had a spelling bee on the twenty ninth! *hides under bead*
I FORGOT TO STUDY! *dosn’t want to*
*looks at previous posts*
*ducks*
No offence to any, either of you, but if you want me, I’ll be on the fanfiction thread.
287~ That’s “doesn’t”–for the record.
I am terrible at spelling, besides the fact that Mom’s always saying she can’t read my writing. Spelling=torture.
Yeah, I think I’ll head there too…
275- Aw Grant…I always read your posts even if I don’t say anything, you’re one the MBers I still feel like I know (no offense to anyone I still love you all lol ♥ )
Feeling like you’re not noticed…that’s everyone’s loss. It’s hard to be the one who’s there but no one can bother for you, I know how that is. All I can say is you gotta surround yourself with people who WILL be there, if not at school at home or somehwhere else…and I think we’re all here for you.
And I find your posts intellectually stimulating, yes.
This is all making me think. Has Queenie been on recently? I know she still posts but I haven’t talked to her in a long time…And Penty darn it.
i know a girl who’s positively crazy about soup!
I don’t like soup. It’s just that it’s liquid and I don’t like injesting liquid unless it’s water, juice, or chocolate milk.
I think I should have written that at the beginning of the month when I noticed the name. Maybe I already did write it. Oh well.
Soup is good. We has tomato soup for dinner.
I’m going to go now, since it is midnight and I’m starting to get a headache from staring at a computer screen for long amounts of time. ‘Night all, see you later.
275-awwww. man, grant, don’t stop posting.waaaaaaaaaa
I think cambells chicken soup needs more chicken and less salt in their soups.
Grant, I read your posts and they are some of the few I actually pause to think about nowadays. As Axa said, I also don’t post a lot. I don’t know. I’m just kind of… tired I guess. Not to mention really busy.
I agree that Go Bananas maybe should post more substantial things though. I do recall you asking him/her before so it’s not a random blow up.
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.
@140 – Lo siento – it sounded as if you were working on some of the things I know are going on in Spanish II in my school. Thanks for the correction.
@157 – The one about the grammar nazis. “My hobby: Using obscure forms of words to trip up the grammar nazis.” Or something like that.
@194 – To my knowledge we were talking about hugs just a little while back…. *sighs* Anyone want a hug?
@221 – Life sucks. *hugs*
@People who were talking about writing when one is angry – I wrote an AWESOME poem once, but other than that I haven’t really tried anything. Oh – and PLEASE don’t mention punching a pillow. It never works. They’re too soft. Period.
*skips the war – don’t be stupid, guys*
What do people think about starting a Hand-Eye Coordination and Cognitive Skills club?
/gradster(1)/
@296 – LOL – I did the same thing. Dude, you’re supposed to mix it all with like a can of water or something. It’s reduced otherwise – so it’ll be extremely salty, among other things.
/gradster(1)/
P.S. Oh so we’re talking about soup now, eh? I like chowder. Clam chowder. Although I’ve never tried corn or fish or anything.
OMG! I’m so stupid! I just realized that the picture for this thread says ‘Museblog’ on it! I kept on thinking ‘why is there a picture of soup cans there? Oh well!’
275-Grant, you’re not at fault. You could’ve been a bit more tolerant, but Bananas needs to learn how things work around here.
300- just like i finally got the “uncanny” pun, its ok.
296- agreed
(300) I’ll take that as a compliment.
Several years ago I went to a trompe l’oeil exhibit at the National Gallery in D.C. and witnessed quite a few people get fooled by a fake guard and a fake exhibit catalogue, among other items. You’re definitely not alone. Of course, if you thought the GAPAs had gone mad, you were probably correct.
♥ 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.
304- Cool. I *might* be able to go without the family car for a year, but the thing is, I’d rely on other people’s cars, and that doesn’t really count.
(300) Take another look at the can. “MuseBlog” isn’t all it says.
304- i could go for a year without my hairdryer, i have so much hair that i usually let it drip-dry
By the way, I’d like to apologize for my outburst. Sometimes I feel undervalued and sad, but I don’t like to burden other people with my problems, so I don’t say anything.
307- I don’t even have a hairdryer. The on time my sister tried to use one in this house, it flipped the breaker. We had to get rid of it.
USECGO- I know the hugeness of this MB is frustrating especially when compared to what it used to me. For a bit the entire blog was me, you, and Robert. Well, first it was Robert. then you. then me. then TOPFOT, then …. etc.
no one pays attention to anyone else here because there are too many posts to read… Silly pointless posts don’t really help that, Go Bananas.
eh. Dunno what I’m saying here.
310- The Blog must have been much more fun when there were just a few people around.
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!!!
also what are 1.spdzk points
and 2.piepoints
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.
296-Me too! *starts More Chicken in Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup Club*
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 lost my graphix pen and still made a pwnsome avatar for my RP site. Lol.
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*
Thank god for the Land of the Tree People.
Good-bye, everyone.
The Neutral Outcast
315-thanks! now, more to the point, are they obtainable, and how??
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.
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.
(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.
oh I see…
And now you have four spdzk points!
waaaaaaaaaaah! sorry I truly did not mean to press “submit” on that post!
I am sad…Its a beautiful day…and all my friends are busy and im at home…with my dog.and mum. and hungry. that is, I mean IM hungry, I am not at home with someone called hungry…my dog is cute.I would send in a pointless photo of her if I knew how. which I dont. I should stop rambling on.
maybe Laura is free….maybe renee…or annika…but I dont like Annika…and Renee is always at a lifesaving thingy
is anyone else still on?and does anyone know how to email photos?
oh fanks La Mort!
you have truly made my day!
I shall go round grinning like a loon all day and no one will know why…
also sorry for the many Pointless Posts
329-You send your pictures to gapa @ musefanpage.com without spaces.
329) …XDDD Hahaha I don’t know what that made me laugh! In a good way though heehee
you can send pictures to the gapas but I forgot the email…oh well that was helpful haha
332) Okeydokey artichokey…how did that make you laugh… oh the mysteries of life…im glad I made you happy….. >_
319-oh…I’m sorry that you’re going through such a hard time…if you stop posting on MB, who’s going to cheer you up. We’re here to cheer you up, not scare you away…
The GAPAs’ email is gapa @ musefanpage.com but without the spaces of course.
332) “that is, I mean IM hungry, I am not at home with someone called hungry…”
…XDD sorry I thought that was funny! hahaha
okay now I definitely need to start reading..man I don’t want to finish this book. argh
QUICK!!! I need two books that are similar to those by Vivian Vande Velde. NOW!
*panics*
Actually anytime in the next two hours is soon enough.
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.
Sorry Alice, can’t help you there.
338-wow! that sound fun! I play many instruments (6) but not brass, which makes me sad, I want to play TRUMMMMMPET!
GAPAs I sent a photo…did you get it…? you dont have to post it, just say if you got it pleaaase! so I can send more post-related things next time
337- Ones by Diana Wynne Jones mayhaps? How about the Chrestomanci ones? Two you say? Charmed Life and The Lives of Christopher Chant.
337) Hmmm, I went to her website, so she writes kind of fantasy type books, but with a twist? DDDD: If I’m right you could use book by Gail Carson Levine (ella enchanted is still one of my favorite books lolol) and there was another author but I can’t think of her name. hmm
Is the gapa email case sensitive?
becase I sent phoyo to GAPA @ etc.
Pain. Quite a bit of pain.
Take my advice, steam is dangerous. Be careful when your fingers are around it. *needs ice* But it could be worse.
342, 343- Thank you both! *hugs* Now I can get back to my English presentation… ugh.
(344) We got it, Sam, just Sam. MuseBlog, meet Nessie.
urgh…I have discovered some sponge which has been harbouring its own life forms since before christmas… yuck…
347- *shudders*
sorry for the double post but we really need people on the role-playing writing thread. we can’t let it die
349 – I agree.
I hate sigfigs yes I do.
Significant Figures. They are dumb.
I will be so happy when there is no more math anymore. I am going to strap a bomb to math and make it explode.
In geometry I am about 2/3 of a percent away from having an A. Grrr.
I wish I could be one of those kids who doesn’t care about school right now so I wouldn’t have to do my homework. Not really. I just wish I could get good grades and know stuff without doing homework.
I am going to go finish my homework now. *grumblegrumble*
351- I know what you mean. Sometimes I wish I didn’t care about getting straight As so that I could relax when I came within a few points of getting a B.
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.
Oh dear. 150. Now I’ll go and count the active MuseBloggers.
whee, two paragraphs done. Only three more to go!
I wonder when I’ll give up and start writing complete bs?
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.
347-Yum!
I read almost everyone’s posts, at least on the threads I go to. Seriously, if I don’t respond, it’s because it dosn’t need a response, or because already fifteen people have answered.
358-I typed all the MuseBloggers I had read posts from and remember onto my valentine, I’m pretty sure that’s more than one hundred. But I only feel like I really know a few, like you and POSOC and Kiki and Kagy and RtH… etc.
Oh cow. Billions of posts to read and I’m tired…again. Why is it that every time I finally get on MB these days I’m to tired to think? Grr.
I should go to bed.
I need to make noodles or something for lunch tomorrow.
I don’t think I will.
Then I’ll have to buy lunch.
Ugh.
Waste of money.
But I don’t want to cook.
I could go buy bread.
Nah.
Whatever.
I’m curious. does anyone relatively new feel as if they know me? I’m a gen 0 and I feel as though we are seperated by our generations.
363- Well, I don’t feel new anymore, but I feel like I know you very well.
364- yay! I feel like I know you too! *hugs*
I dunno, some MBers I am on with at the same time more, and get into more conversations with…but I consider all the musers my friends, even if I’ve never read a post of theirs at all.
I’m off now, since it’s 12:31 here. *falls asleep on keyboard*
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?
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…
Red-tailed HAWK
YAY!!!
SNOW DAY!!!
*rejoices*
Hello HAWK!
I’ve found myself becoming increasingly attached to the blog and the people on it. I don’t know why, bu it’s true.
There’s a two hour delay. When I got up to the bus stop and found that there was no one there, I figured. Sigh.
371 – Me too. I guess that’s a good thing. ^_^
370, 371 – I’ve got a snow day today as well! It’s the first time in about a decade we’ve had a snow day here.
373- There’s no snow here. Everyone’s worried.
ARGH!!!! This is ******, for heaven’s sake! We shouldn’t have a snow day!!! The weather’s supposed to be MILD!!!!
375 – Well, around here at least (possibly for the whole state, I dunno) the most snow has fallen this year in at least a decade or so.
376- I know! My dad has two or three inches!
Around here we mostly have yesterday’s hail, which was then snowed upon and then iced over.
It’s a dangerous walk to the bus stop.
But wait. Don’t you live in the part of the state where it never rains but snows constantly?
375- You’re angry about that? We haven’t had real snow for three years.
Over here in Washington there’s never been this much snow for 15 years!
377 – We have about 5 inches here, and my friend claims she has almost 2 feet at her house. I’m in eastern Washington, and it hasn’t snowed much in the past couple years since I moved here, so I’m not sure, but we’ve had mild winters for the past few years.
379 – Psst…Alice and I live in Washington too. We know. ;D
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.
381- We only have a little more than a foot, but that’s what I hear in the news. Perhaps we live in different parts of eastern Washington.
383 – I’m Eastern Washington. Alice is Western Washington. I only have about 5 inches, though…-jealous-
384- Alice is in Western Washington? Gaah! *confused*
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.
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.
386 – Probably because there’s so many big cities that there can’t be a MuseBlogger in every one.
All this talk really makes me impatient for a Washington Kokonvention. x.X
385, 387- Oh my. Now you two have to go around asking kids of the proper age and physical description whether they have read Muse.
387- Woah. An MBer. Possibly living in this area. That’s…crazy.
387,390- Sigh. I’ve tried to convert my friends, and I tried to get a Muser on here once, but none of it ever worked.
Oh. Speaking of that Muser, GAPAs, can you possibly tell me when Phaireby last posted?
389 – I know. It’s creepy.
390 – UGHHH. Now I really, really, really want a Kokonvention. xD -runs off to Kokonvention thread-
(391) I can’t find any posts by anyone named Phaireby or anything similar.
393- Huh. Odd. She said she posted. *resolves to ask her when she next sees her* *changes mind* It doesn’t matter.
We had one post by a Clairefurby in October 2005: https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=67#comment-6 .
391 – I’ve gotten two of my friends, one from real life (Tiki teh uber pwnful) and one from another forum I go on (Fire_Falcon22) to come here, but neither of them stayed for long.
395- October 2005. Be about right.
396- My friend Brenda came on here for a while. She even said she was going to come back, but she didn’t. Ah well.
386-I live in the same time zone, in california…
371-naturally, we all love to *hear* each other post. it feels like we all know each other so well, but I don’t think we really do…
is anyone still on the blog. I just got on
Id like to hear some people post to. IF ANYONE WAS EVER ON HERE WHEN I WAS, THAT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
401- I’m here! But let me explain some things to you. The Blog doesn’t work like a chatroom, where people all have to be on at the same time. It’s more like a message board, where we make longish posts, read other people’s posts, and respond to other people.
There was a highly amusing example of a MuseBlog chat once.
This is getting very boring… WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!
402- I’m here! I’m here! IBCF, at your service!
Here’s the MB chat.
https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=459#comment-206
I’ll bet he/she left just before we tried to explain things to him/her. *sigh*
408- Oh well.
is anyone still here?
Okay people im back. I had to go somewhere but please don’t leave
I just noticed your explanation. thanks for clearing things up
412- De nada. Welcome to the Blog.
411- I’m still here. Hi!
412-Things happen a little slower around here then on regular forums, but it’s worth it. *pies koko’s apprentice*
I am annoyed at my mom. -.- Okay, so I have a snow day today. First one in my life. And she’s making us do laundry.
GAPAs, help! I remember reading a comment of Robert’s about future MBers, not the MB fanfic, but I can’t remember where it was! It was some people standing around observing those weird people with towels in their pockets.
(417) Would that be this one?
418- Yup. Thanks.
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.
Odio a yo mismo.
420 – Aww.
If you need any help, I’ll be glad to try.
421 – Wow…that stinks…
421- Scary.
Uggg! I found out from a satellite tracking website that the International Space Station will pass over my city tonight… at the time when I’ll be inside at Peer Helping!
Welcome back, HAWK! *welcome deep dish pies*
And just plain WELCOME, to Koko’s Apprentice! *more welcome deep dish pies*
I have nothing to say except that life really dosn’t like me but in a very subtle way, and that I’m a really bad lier when it comes to excuses explaining forearm cuts.
425- Beavo, have you been cutting??
421- Dying is generally considered a bad thing…
I’m in a very weird mood right now. I feel like randomly singing.
425- No. BAD Beavo. Stop that right now.
425 Beavo-What happened?
is treble-cone-freeeskiier on MB?
the fact that we may live in the same town is so..um…tensionating?
oka-ay my Nintendo DS game ‘Animal Crossing Wild World’ includes a fashion obsessed giraffe with six legs (?) called Gracie.she gave me a makeover…with an afro, bunny ears and a green shirt…in-teresting AND I had to pay for it, (in the virtual money of course–5000 bells)
125 –
429 – It’s the same thing that’s happening with me and IBCF.
It’s as though when there’s one MBer in a place, the likelihood of there being another doubles.
430- Yeah.
431 – Hmm, you’re right.
432 – I dunno if I can wait until March. x.X
430+432- did you meet in the end then?
Argh. *twiddles thumbs* Everything between now and March 22 just paled in comparison. *begins countdown*
434 – We’re going to. Alice, IBCF and I are probably going to have a Kokonvention in late March.
425- Dude. You need your blood. You’re using it. If you have an overwhelming urge to dispose of some of it, donate it.
*SIGH*
I shant be on the computer for weeks at a time, my friends.
Nor the television. As my parents demand higher grades.
My grades are not bad, but quite average! I am only lazy.
Why must they use their higher power against me?
435 – No kidding. Why oh why couldn’t we have had it in Febuary? (Just kidding)
Scary thought…I’m going to be 13 by the time we finally Kokonvene.
Today in spanish, my teacher was surfing the ‘net and suddenly read out: “Mother arrested for death of baby in microwave” and my first thought was: “are there pictures?”
Is this overly morbid?
Did that post? If it didn’t, sorry. I have it copied if I need it.
Countdowns to important events:
Field Trip to The Beard of Avon: 3 days
Trip to NOSB: 12 days
NOSB: 13 days
West Coast kokon: 55 days
439- The reason we can’t have it in February is that I have rehearsal every single day after school until February 20-something and then i have shows until March 1.
440 – xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
442 – 55 days!? I’ll be OLD by then.
Oh, and scratch the thought of me being 13. I’m not going to be 13. I’m going to be 12+1.
386- I’d like to live in Portland! It has Powell’s. Then again, I live near a good fantasy sci fi store.
440- Yes.
445- Powell’s ROCKS. It’s so HUGE! I have like 60 dollars in Powells’ gift certificates. Hey Mum, when are we going to Portland?
Ugh! Why is it not posting? If this is a replica, GAPAs, please delete the former[s], not this one.
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!”
444- Don’t worry, being a teen isn’t as bad as it sounds. *sniffs own B.O.* *falls unconcious*
440-Yes
448-That’s good that you’re not going to cut again. Don’t be mad at yourself for it if you can help it. If you feel like you want to again just come on here and talk. *hugs* *wishes “hugs” was real*
Aw I was going to write a long post but I have to be off to taekwondo now.
*lurks*
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.
For some reason this month has been a rather depressing month on the random threads. Talking about suicide, cutting, and emotional outbursts. January must not have been a very good month for most MBers.
454- Most definitely not.
454 – No way…
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.)
I don’t want to do my homework.
Opal has become obsessed with HPBs. It’s gonna be a long evening.
I need to go buy potatoes. Drat it all.
My pant hems got wet and now it’s soaked all the way up to my knees. Ugh.
457- Family? Definitely.
258- That sounded perfectly sarcastic to me.
425~ Beavo, please don’t hurt yourself. It won’t help. *hugs*
454~ No, I don’t get the feeling that it has been. However, I must say that it has shown just how tight of a group MBers really are, and how willing they are to help each other out.
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~ Scratches, cuts, what matters is that you do not hurt yourself. You are an amazing person, and nobody has the right to hurt you, including yourself.
464- Why did my life suddenly get so much better?
Oh wait. It didn’t.
Good luck, Meow.
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.
467- I’m sorry to say, you don’t seem insane. You seem perfectly, well, Muserly (I couldn’t say normal, could I?) to me.
Then again, we’re all mad here.
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 hate to ask the most depressing question. Does anyone notice me on the blog? No one anywhere else seems to.
Me: Oh hello *insert reallife friend here*
Friend: *stares into space*
Me: Hello?
Friend: Oh.. Hello…um…Naomi…
467~ That reminds me of Pirates of the Carribean 2. “A wedding? I love weddings! Drinks all around!”
You seem pretty sane to me. It would be nice to have an excuse though.
464- hugs! I had to present in front of a staff meeting too. it wasn’t fun, really.
469- *notices* I certainly notice you!
469- I notice you. You’re not one of the most frequent posters here, but I still notice you. When I come on MB, I try to read all the comments from the time when I wasn’t on, so I generally notice, even if I don’t acknowledge everybody.
469~ I notice you!
469- I notice you! and that happens to me too in real life.
Me: *sits down at table*
Friends: *sit down across the room*
I wish I could go to school with my friends from writing camp. at least they live in the same general area as me, though my closest friend lives 20 mins away or so. I’ve never actually been to either of her houses too but we’ve met up at other places (such as an awesome fantasy bookstore) plenty of times.
469- I notice you, definitely. But I know what you mean about people not noticing. People tend to ignore me.
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.
“MuseBlog: World’s Largest Assembly of Superheroes Capable of Becoming Involuntarily Invisible.”
479- yessss….
476- Not so! I notice you!
469- You too!
La Mort, are you feeling better?
Are you, Kagy?
And you, Beavo?
469-I notice you!
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.
(469) I noticed you, Insane Blue Sage, and made something for you earlier today. Check it out.
(479) Could be an asset for Mostly Harmless. No one will ever see them coming.
481-I guess… MuseBlog=good medicine.
I feel loved…
I really do seem to lurk a lot more than I post. You have no idea how much I lurk.
483- Ooh. Ouch. When you ask me for romance advice, that’s about the response you get. *is ignorant*
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.
[/rant]
Yeeessss! School’s out again tomorrow!
489- I don’t know about us. My science teacher seemed to suggest that we might not. We probably do, though, because we’ve already gone what, three days? over our limit for bad weather days.
I’ll see you all next time, probably tomorow. For now I have to go and either get to bed or practice. Or both, of course. Even though it’s not yet my customary time of music making, it’ll have to do.
Hugs and pies all around. (No drinks though, sorry.)
look at my name
thats what im saying
dumb mouse batteries
crappums
489 – My school district’s not canceled yet. But it might be tomorrow morning.
I HOPE NOT.
Wow. In CA, all we get is rain, except for in Tahoe.
488) Hey, I’d miss you
I love all of the MBers, regardless of whether we talk lots or not!
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.
NO SCHOOL THURSDAY & FRIDAY!!!
Shoot. We have school today and tomorrow. Even with -30 wind chills and 1.5 feet of snow.
I HATE MINNESOTA!!!!!
I had the day off of school yesterday (and today, too) because it’s the end/beginning of the semester!
So, yesterday I went skiing. It was only my second time skiing so I was quite timid at first and only went down green hills, but by the end, I went down two black diamond hills! (The hardest slopes.) Yay!!
495- That’s so true.
yes, I agree, too.
I’d miss anyone here.Grant, Le Mort, and Beveo.
could Rebecca start in on a new pic? I think February needs to start now!
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*
“Tragedy / glad ya de-” is one of the great rhymes of human civilization.
502- was it a cream pie?
504- *eats* Yes.
496- that’s why I keep telling people that it isn’t cold where they are. But then again, I like it here (Minnesota). Why don’t you have school Thurs and Fri? We do…
488- There’s nothing wrong with Star Wars!
I would like to have a blog on Star Wars.com, but it costs 15 dollars per month.
505 – Odd, I always thought it was banana splits and licorice.
Hey, Hobo man
Hey, dapper Dan
You’ve both got your style
But brother, you’re never fully dressed without a smile
You’re clothes may be
Beaux Brummely
They stand out a mile
But brother you’re never fully dressed without a smile
Who cares what they’re wearing
On Main Street or Saville Row
It’s what you wear from ear to ear
An not from head to toe
That matters
So senator
So janitor
So long for a while
Remember you’re never fully dressed
Though you may wear the best
You’re never fully dressed without a smile
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.
495-Aww!
I am about to spontaneously combust. I have to edit my report that’s due thursday and do my geometry homework and that is with 2 taekwondo classes and piano, which I am going to right now. Bleehhhh homwork.
508-I had to sing that for Annie last year.
It’s the hard knock life for us
It’s the hard knock life for us
‘Stead of treated
We get tricked
‘Stead of kisses
We get kicked
It’s the hard knock life!
*retch*
509 – Mahimahi ;). It’s a delicious fish. It’s spelling season again.
By the way, I was wondering how old people think I am because there are some MBers who I thought were around a certain age and then posted their age and I found I was really off.
152 – What part were you? I’m currently in my school’s performance as Mrs. Greer. “Bubbles, no soap I think!”
I don’t like fish. *pouts* And my number was 19, and when you subtract one from nine, you get my favorite number. *pouts summore*
Speller, your age? I dunno, maybe fourteen to sixteen?
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.
Red-tailed HAWK
Sympathy pie RtH. *pies*
I don’t want to do my math.
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!
My mom’s at the capital of Illinois for a meeting. And she’s taking the train! Go public transportation!!
506 – Conferences.
TOO — FREAKIN’ — COLD — HERE — NEARLY — FROZE — TO — DEATH — OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
517 – As of an hour ago, there was heavy downpour. Now it is dark. Oh Chicago, how I love thee and loathe thee at the exact same time!
(517) Complaints may be sent to muse@caruspub.com .
517- try windchills of negative forty below zero FARENHEIT. Of course, negative forty happens to be the same in both Celcius and Farenheit actually but… anyways. If anyone here complains of the cold, think of kokonilly and I in negative forty temperatures.
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 dare not to venture outside. Outside=frigid.
517- What was the article?
515- Ouch, Dude! You’re like the nicest guy on the blog!
509-I believe it’s a type of fish.
517-The perpetual motion one right? I was glad. That was before my time and I’m to lazy to re-order.
Hey, GAPAS! I think you should know that January 31 is the 50th anniversary of the launch of Explorer 1, the United State’s first satellite!
We had school today, but it snowed the entire day, and one nearby school district got out two hours early and already canceled for tomorrow, so ours might get canceled too.
Oh yeah, sorry RTH.
527- We had a snow day. Heeheeheehee.
Oh, and by the way, COSMOS is on tonight at nine eastern.
::happy pies to Red-tailed HAWK::
I really like the signature at the end of your posts, by the way. They always make me smile when I see them!
515- we can get pretty mean. I was trying to restore order to the coricles of museica part two, and I got a liver pie!
due to things like this, I ask that the the no flaming rule be taken more seriously.
515- Do I need to sing the song again?
532- I hope by now you’ve forgiven me for the time I blew up at you on the same thread.
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.
532- yes I have.
536- Glad to hear it. *wipes brow*
Any more guesses about my age or shall I reveal all? And no, I shan’t tell you whether Beavo’s guess was right.
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…
Red-tailed HAWK
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.
540- You know, I’ve threatened to leave MB before. I don’t think I’ve ever lasted one day. When I have access to a computer, I’m here.
540- Glad to hear it.
529 – Lucky. Actually, unlucky, because I wanted school today. But I wouldn’t mind if it was a snow day tomorrow.
Do you know yet if you’re having one? I know some districts have already closed, but mine hasn’t.
I left MB for a week completely voluntarily. I’d have stayed away longer if I’d had a real motivation.
540-Heh, neither can I. I’ve never held a grudge against close friends for more than three days, it’s almost impossible. Welcome back, though! *welcome pies*
I left MB for…a while. My whole MuseBlog career has been dotted with long absences.
540-Welcome back! *pies*
515- Here. *gives sympathy pie* That’s why I stay off those threads… *hugs*
540- Me neither. Join the club.
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.
It’s supposed to snow thursday. Which means it is going to ice, which makes me happy because there will be no skool.
I really don’t post that much, do I?
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.
551- -sympathy pie-
551-sorry, alice
550-Is that a retorichal question? (I don’t know where the H goes in there, but I know it goes somewhere, so I put it where it is.)
551-Aw, I’m sorry. Seems like a crappy day.
*pats head**pies* Hope you like it, it’s apple.French=confusing.
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!
555- rhetorical
And I can probably help you with French (not tonight, but some other time)
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.
I’m off. After spending an inordinate amount of time on here, again, I now will go to bed since I’m to tired to do anything else. Besides, it’s midnight and I don’t need to get up at 11 again, Mom’s starting to give me glares when I come in late.
hey you know if you leave you leave, if you bop on over here once in a while that’s good too.
558) yeah exactly. That’s what I ‘m saying to all your posts though. sigh…
word of advice is to not make something more than it is.
Wah! My friend got a haircut!
Her hair was about two feet long, now its shorter than mine! It’s kind of a woman-y haircut.
I am, for once, incredibly sad and depressed.
my friend (16, Stephanie) got a boyfriend about a year ago, at first Shane seemed cool. but I hate him now.
he is VERY controlling AND she doesnt seem to care, I know I am just 13 and 3 years younger than her and maybe I dont understand every thing that goes on but today I went round to her house and he was there.
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
Me: ?????
Shane: (on phone) IM COMING
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*
wow…please ignore my previous posts…I must go mad when Im tired..auuuugh!
ps…anyone there?
563- ha. I’m going to do that too. my hair is about six inches past my shoulders, I’m going to wait for it to grow a ways more (I’m patient) and then I’m cutting it all really, really short. I’m not sure how short yet, we’ll see. I’m going to donate a lot of it to Locks of Love though. It’ll be my third time donating…
556- was that when MG and I sent that letter?
558- haha, yeah. I leave too then!
Freedom and Necessity by Steven Brust and Emma Bull is a really, really superb book.
568- I’m here…just lurking around…bored out of my mind. Does anybody else have a snow day???
Hi!
I don’t have homework for the first time in high school. Actually I just finished it in class.
Grant remind me of my friend Andy because he always has really different ideas about how to do things.
Yay! Last A day of the wee. That makes me happy. B days are easy.
555- Not neccessarily. I didn’t care if people answered it.
564-Ugh. I pretty much hate him too. I hate controling boy/girl friends, but trust me, girlfriends are worse. They complain and complain when you go to Home Depot, and always take you to get their cat brushed or something. Which is boring.
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.
*changes subject*
I had my first Tech Ed class yesterday! Mr. Garrison= so much better than Mrs. Allen.
Today in Biology, I learned that grasshoppers don’t breathe through their mouths, but through holes on the side of their bodies.
Isn’t science great?
569-I have a friend called Emma Bull….how freaky
571- Today in AP Euro History, I randomly said, “You know what the school needs? Jugglers!” I went on to explain how jugglers would make my school much better, as it would make people happier.
my friend is extremely emo…I think its attention seeking, either way, Im worried about her…she txted me: Oh blood is so nice! and there are VERY suspicious scars on her arms
so Im a bit scared….but anyway…no more selfpitying then…
re:grasshoppers there are cicadas EVERYWHERE at the moment, or, at least I can HEAR them! I want one! maybe my dog ate them…
And yesterday I found out that worms are slimy because it helps them take in air through their skin. That’s why dried out worms die- they can’t breathe.
578-personly, I think worms are cute
so long and pink and cute
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.
580-That makes you *about* my age, I turn thirteen in April. But most people on MuseBlog seem older, more mature to me than *regular* people at my school. Although I’m in seventh grade…
And most people on MuseBlog are around that age anyway.
Do I seem younger/older than I am? (No, this is not a rHetorical question. Please answer it. Much wanted information.)
how old do I seem?
im 13 going 14 now, in, uh, 4 form….
581 – I actually thought you were a high schooler before you posted your actual grade.
wow Beavo, I thought you were..15, maybe 16!
scary…
why do we all think the other is older? beavo, I think we all thought you were a bit older, at least 14.
me to.
O.K. what about me?
559 – huh, that’s never happened to me.. what kind of shoulder rest do you use? I usually just get my hair caught in mine and end up tearing half of it out..
(speaking of violining, recital this weekend. i think I’ll record it. So if it’s good, I’ll send it in.)
Yeah, ages are confusing, I have no idea what people think my age is, but I’m fourteen…581-not really, I think of you as twelve.
573- Beavo, what’s wrong? why are you cutting yourself? Beavo, why are you hurting yourself? it doesn’t help, does it? i really don’t know how to make this post sound caring over words i type but i do care. i can’t stand seeing another person i love hurting themselves. i really, really care. please, tell me what’s wrong. please stop cutting. it doesn’t solve anything.
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*
587-wow, lethal shoulder rest…mine stays meekly on my shoulder…..
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!
Red-tailed HAWK
Coolo! That means I don’t post like a ten year old, at least.
Sam- Fourteen?
TMFA- Fourteen?
Yeah, pretty much everybody is fourteen in my mind, except some of the actually older bloggers, like Grant and Oxlin. They’re obviously older than fourteen.
581 – I was thinking sort of 12-14. That’s how most MBers act.
I think I just saw the space station with my binoculars! It was at the exact co-ordinates I’d printed off a website, and there was this small, blinking light, exactly as people tell me that satellites are supposed to look!
594 – Wow, cool!
Out of curiosity, how old do people think I am? Although I’ve probably told a lot of people too.
589- Read post 425 and 463. And I was but only once. Like I said, it actually does help, a bit, but the feeling dosn’t really last.
RtH-Calmer? Less homework?
*cracks up*
I haven’t seen much life, so I really can’t decide if it’s been calm or not. And homework? *grins*
I do my English in Math, Math in Spanish, Spanish in Spectrum, History in Science, Science in Tech Ed, and more Science in English. Therefor, the homework I do at home is considerably less.
oh wow
I feel so cool….man….I had a dream about a Kokonvention last night…freaky….it must be a message from my subconcious….
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.
::sigh::
well, RTH…I would think fifteen, I think of you as *about* 15, but I know you’re older than that…I might be wrong…
597 – THAT HAPPENED TO ME! And then in the next two days we planned a Spokane Kokonvention. It must be a sign from the heavens.
Updates on my project…it’s finally sinking in that it’s TOMORROW.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Cats Meow-the difference? you can GO!!!!!! maybe I could sneak aboard a cargo plane headed for Washinton….I wish.
600 – Well, I’m not exactly going anywhere. Alice is the one that has to make the long trip. IBCF and I are really close by.
Oh, and RE: Snow Days.
We didn’t have one today.
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.
How old do people think I am?
I generally tend to think that people here are my age or older than me.
the age of oxlin is ___. fill in that blank with a guess. If you already know, don’t guess.
594- ooh, cool!
Random quote from Mythbusters:
“That sounds cool, but how are we going to test it without killing ourselves?”
Testing whether cockroaches would survive a nuclear war.
598- That’s unfortunate… did you not have a book to read?!
602- Wow. Good luck with that… Also, lawls at the school closings.
We had a grand total of one snow day. Unlike last year when we got upwards of a week off from snow. And the city’s apparent inability to plow…
We randomly had a long weekend before the new semester… I do absolutely nothing during this one. Silly being a senior u_u
It is FREEZING here. The high today was 5. The WIND CHILL was practically -40. Practically EVERY OTHER DISTRICT IN THE STATE was closed.
EXCEPT OURS.
GRR!
603 – 14 or 15. I tend to think that most people here are older than me, which seems to be true.
607- and ours. unless it’s the same. it was funny though, getting off the bus home from school and it didn’t feel that cold.
I swear, there must have been exactly two districts open in the entire state. One of them being mine. Hooray.
603-Fourteen? *ignores sniggering at lack of creativity*
Guess how old I am.
Hint: It’s somewhere between 0 and 112.
612- 12?
612-I dunno, lets go with 112.
I am struggling ALOT with photoshop…NOOOOOOOO
And Beavo is…CORRECT!
602- I just looked at a map yesterday. *dies* I’m on the coast! Spokane is practically in Idaho!
Oh well.
Although my dad’s car broke down. That might be a problem…
610- And the other would be mine…
-OH DEAR LORD SAVE ME PLEASE THEY ARE TAKING OVER MY LIFE HELP ME ARGH-
I need to study for the NOSB. It’s in ten days. And I need to write a play review by the end of the semester, and I have a theater work day on Friday from 9 to 4 and I have no time in my life and I don’t WANT to leave the blog and there’s never any time to write and it makes me sad and everything is truly wonderful but at the same time it’s never been worse.
Wait. I just remembered that my school district is in Oregon.
617 – Yup. I’ve ridden my bike from Idaho to here before.
I hope your Dad can get his car fixed. Otherwise…
Well, two in this area. Plus yours, that makes 3.
Correction: I’ve ridden my bike from here to Idaho before.
Sorry for the double post.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
622-aren’t you fourteen? you’re a little older than me, cuz you go to high school, I’m in eighth grade…
623- Yup. Fourteen. I’m only a few months older than you, though. You’re birthday’s in October, mine’s in August….
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
625 – Based on the picture I saw of you I’d say about 13.
626 – Haha. And yes, this thread is reallyreally long.
626- I’d say…17, maybe?
I looked up at the post and I saw fourteen for me! wow. I thought maybe It would be tenor eleven.
About a month until the next Immersion Presents expedition!
And one week until Atlantis takes off!
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.]
Is anyone going to guess how old I am?
631- ooh, that is cool! It is like an e-Rube Goldberg machine!
627~ Nope. See what I maen about people not guessing my age? Try again!
632~ I’m guesing 14 or 16?
632-16? You seem older than me.
Woah lots of posts!!
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.
634- Dreams are wierd, but that’s why they are fun!
Just as long as they aren’t scary…
I survived my presentation. And I think we did really good too.
YAY!
635~ Good luck! I’m sure you’ll do well. *gives courage pie*
635-Good luck, speller! I feel like that before I run.
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.
635: Best of luck!!
621: mmm… hair! *gaspchokegag*
640 – Cool!
GAPAs, I just sent a random HPB picture to your e-mail. If you would be so kind to post it…^_^ Thanks in advance!
Fuhahaha! I have convinced the ‘rents to get me a hair straightener! VICTORY IS MINE!
Take that, O Wise God of Caratin!
*fixes period key*
I just went to karate for the second time this month. Yes, I have actually gotten a life, and don’t have time to do the stuff I love.
Gitchy gitchy yaya. Mocha choca lata. *random*
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.
Wow. This was a very long thread.
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.
644 – Congratulations!
647 – And that’s awesome. xD
Ughhhhhhh….
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.
February’s random thread should have some sort of uplifting title, to get us out of the January blahs.
Flamablabulous February?
February Frenzy?
Fantastic Frenzy?
Feel Good February?
650-My vote is on Flamablamablous February.
I would really like it if the snow made a snow day tomorrow! *hinthint* (in case the snow is reading this now)
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?
652 – Hmm, maybe.
653- Good point.
Fancy February?
Fearless February?
Festive February?
February Festival?
Flawless February?
Funky February?
Fabulous February?
I still like “Frivolous February.”
