AAAAAAAAAAAAA! Disney! It Burns! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

152&everyone who thinks disney is the greatest thing ever-
Disney’s goal is just to get people to
buy stuff and their shows are just ads
for the products they sell and for
publicity for the music of the artists
they contract with. Its all for selling
stuff! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Oh by the way, don’t think I have
anything against Walt Disney himself,
I think he is an inspiring person, but I
think the Disney company has wandered
too far from Disney’s original goals to
entertain. These days the Disney
company’s goal is just to make money
and sell stuff! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I don’t have speakers at the moment, so I can’t hear whatever that little player at the top is supposed to be playing. Ah well.
Wasn’t the previous topic specifically non-disney princesses? Kind of funny now that the blog has been disney-fied. Anywho, I suggest that the new topic be…hmmm…Aha! How about equinoxes/solstices/days halfway between an equinox and a solstice?

3- I like that topic. Especially the ancient sites that are aligned for sunrise or sunset on those days. The science of those alignments is called archeoastronomy.

Garshk, I just love what you’ve done with the place! It’s so …HAPPY! In fact, it just might be the third happiest place on EARTH! And I love the new theme song. It’s almost good enough to scare the ol’ “It’s a Small World” ditty outta my big, floppy ears! Aye-yiyi!

6- Yup. Fun, isn’t it! Who’s singing in the song, anyway?

The singers are my friends Bess and Caroline and Richard and Bess’s daughter Hannah and I. Bess and Caroline are sisters with whom I used to act in children’s theater plays when we were all Muser age. Hannah is 10 years old, a sweetheart, and a total ham. At one point when were were crowding around the microphone for another take, she beamed and said, “I’m so glad I was born into this family!”
By the way, Bess dropped in on the blog this morning and left a comment under the name “Goofy.”
(*looks over shoulder* Is that perky enough, sir? No? I’ll do better, I promise.)

Okay, I’m continuing the topic that I suggested above… Equinoxes, solstices and the days exactly in between an eqinox and a solstice (cross-quarter days) were all holidays at one point. Some still are. For example, Christmas is connected to the winter solstice, and Easter is connected to the spring equinox.
Groundhog’s Handy Chart Of Obsolete Holidays:
Spring equinox: Ostara, also known as Easter.
Spring/Summer cross-quarter: Beltane, also known as May Day or the night before as Walpurgis Night.
Summer solstice: Midsummer (I couldn’t find any equivalents for this one)
Summer/Autumn cross-quarter: Lughnasadh, also known as Lammas. (Here’s a llama, there’s a llama…)
Autumnal equinox: Mabon (couldn’t find any equivalents for this one either)
Autumn/Winter cross-quarter: Samhain, also known as Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day.
Winter solstice: Yule, also known as Christmas.
Winter/Spring cross-quarter: Imbolc, also known as St. Brigids Day, Candlemas and Groundhog Day.

Ahhh the Enlightenment…personally I am a fan of Voltaire and regret I never finished reading Candide when I checked it out at the library. My favorite quote is his, écrasez l’infâme.
I am not much aware of more recent philosophies, except perhaps Freud and I don’t know if you guys want to talk about him harhar. I am vaguely in contact with existentialism and nihilism, but I’m find with any discussion really.

But then I would say that, wouldn’t I?
0

Philosophy? That sounds like a good idea……
I don’t know a lot about philosophy though……… Hey! I did learn a tad about the Enlightenment in World History! My teacher was lazy and hardly ever lectured, but he did sometimes, and one of those lectures was on why it’s impossible for a dictatorship to be enlightened. IT was very interesting. In fact, several dictators tried it (though not all the way) and one tried to go all out with it. (the one that was totally ‘enlightened’ failed miserably)

I loved Candide. It was hilarious (and brutely cynical). Fantastic ending too.
Lets see:Plato. Well, I like his ideas although some of them are a little too metaphysical. I like the philosopher king political stuff, though its ridiculously optimistic. And I absolutely adore his writing. Particularly the Apology.
As for Rousseau. Well, who wouldn’t like a philosopher whose arguments include school (as an institution) corrupting the mind. Noble savage all the way.
The Empiricists are a pinch annoying but some of their stuff is interesting nonetheless. And as for Locke and his Tabula Rasa. No comment.

I have no current injuries, unless you count several bruises from learning to iceskate last week end.
My weirdest injury was slamming my own finger in a car door. It was awesome because it swelled up like a baloon. BUt then, I found out a busted a blood vessel and tore a ligiment, so I couldn’t play piano for 2 months.

57- OK. I’ll tell it. Even though it was about nine years ago. 
Once upon a time, a foolish child named Alice had a necklace. It was a large plastic heart, with numerous brightly-colored small glass hearts swimming around in a fluid inside it. Alice was only about five at the time, and she had two friends who were around her age. Now it so happened that at the radio station, they had just built a nice concrete ramp up to the door. The ramp had a handrail, which was built into a concrete wall, so that it looked like this:
___________
|
||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||,
With the top stripe being the handrail, the stripe below being the wall, and the bold strip being the Very Hard Concrete Walkway. Alice and her friends were playing around on the Concrete Wall and accompanying Handrail, and Alice the utterly moronic idea to stand on the Concrete Wall and jump over the handrail to safely land on her feet on the Very Hard Concrete Walkway.
She landed on it, all right. But on her forehead, not her feet. And the necklace (remember the necklace?) somehow got sandwiched between her forehead and the Very Hard Concrete Walkway, and being only plastic, promptly smashed. Alice vaguely remembers seeing a great deal of blood and little glass hearts (although surely it can’t be as much blood as she remembers), before she was rushed off to the Hospital and got stitches, a Tetanus shot, and an extremely large bandage on her head that had to be changed every day with a great deal of pain.
She never got one of the little glass hearts.
0

60-Poor Alice! All that and not even a glass heart to show for it. That’s awfully scary and upsetting and dramatic and intense and (*is unable to think of word* and *gives chokilt* to make up for it, I seem to be doing that an awful lot today.)

60 – *sob*
I fell off a playground once, my next-door neighbor’s that we used all the time. I was climbing up it in an utterly moronic way I let go of the rope, I fell down RIGHT ON TOP OF MY ANKLE, and started limping to the swings. My uncle, who was visiting, asked me if I wanted to play Frisbee. Of course, I said no, limped over to our driveway (50 feet away), picked up a golf club, and used that as a makeshift crutch, limped another 10 feet, and told my mom. She was very calm, but my aunt panicked and rushed me to the emergency room. (For a sprained ankle.)

I have twisted my ankle innumerable times.
I bang my knee almost every time I go rock climbing.
SO far, the worst injury I have ever had was a couple of months ago. I fell of a snowmobile on a frozen lake and got a huge bruise on my knee, and I think I might have done more than just bruise it because it still bugs me sometimes if I hit the right spot hard enough. It will feel like it is on fire.
0
0
63- Well, I don’t have a heart-shaped dent in my forehead, although I have to agree, that would have been cool. I do have a lighting-bolt shaped scar, though, and in this day and age that’s a pretty cool thing to boast. Even if it is a very different shape than Harry Potter’s.
64- I’ve never fainted. What’s it like?
62- Ow. That reminds me of something, though…
Once upon a different time, a good many years later but still a long time ago, the heroine of our previous story, having recovered from her Experience and knowing never to jump onto concrete if she could help it, went to a playground with some different friends of hers. She was on a tire swing, being pushed by one of those friends, when a large dog trotted up. Since both girls were rather frightened of the large dog, the girl pushing Alice pushed much harder and faster then she had been, and the rope that had suspended the tire swing from the rafters of that shelter snapped, sending Alice plummeting to the concrete (concrete again) along with the tire. She probably cried, but she was alright, despite a bandage on her nose, later a scab, and a slightly failed Presentation later that day, which had absolutely nothing to do with the fall.
Her nose remains intact, and she has no trace of a scar.

A sprained anke is my worst injury. Recently I cut myself with a Swiss army knife. It was pretty deep, and I think it may leave a scar.
0

*keeps thinking of new injuries*
Let’s see….
Three years after Alice’s first Wound, and some time before her second, her father for some reason thought it fit to give her a Sharp Pocket Knife for her eighth birthday. First he pulled a band-aid out of his pocket, and then, when she stared blankly at it and asked “Why are you giving me a band-aid?” he fetched out a very beautiful pocket knife with Wood Inlay, and showed her how to open and close it, something she couldn’t do by herself for a long time, as the Catch that kept it from Snapping Down on her hand required more strength than her eight-year-old fingers held.
She cut herself very deeply with that pocket knife a while later, while trying to Whittle something out of a piece of wood. She moved the knife the Wrong Way and it sliced into her thumb. It was curiously not painful, so she went and got the band-aid her father had given her and attempted to wrap it around her Injury with only one hand. Later her mother put a different one on, as the previous band-aid was rather skewed.
She still has the scar.
And the knife.

My worst injury? hmm…
That would be a toss-up between twisting my knee skiing (and driving three hours in intense pain in the dark to get to the ER) and the time I was stepped on viciously with a soccer cleat and forced to shuffle around life Long John Silver for several weeks, delaying my track season start and making me the butt of many, many jokes…

I’ve been pretty lucky in terms of injuries
but my worst injuries probably include:
-getting hit in the face with a baseball, when I was only 4 or 5
(it was the first time my dad played baseball catch with me, oops)
-getting only half-stung by a bee
-getting hit in the face with a baseball again
(it was probably a little dark to be playing baseball catch)
-running into a tree (I was going out for a pass and looking
back to see when my dad would pass the ball)
As you can see most of these are baseball injuries *sigh*

Hm. I had quite a big injury when we had just moved to Pittsburgh not too long before. It involves a door. I wrote something actually well-written for English class, but I’ll just write this from the top of my head.
My parents were going to take Pan and me on a woods walk, I believe (I don’t remember much – most of this story is from what people have told me). As we were getting ready to put our coats on, dad went outside. I think. He closed the door (almost). I had something to tell him, or wanted to go outside, or I was just ready to go. Anyway, I went to open the door. My small fingers were not easy to see in the dark and in only a small crack of the door. My father, seeing that the door was not fully closed, finished closing the door. It hurt. But my fingers were still partly blocking the thorough closing of the door. So my dad closed the door again, hard this time.
I was crying and screaming and apparently it hurt like nothing else because I was crying and screaming so loud that you could hear it all the way at the Muse Academy. My hand (the right sided one, if anyone wanted to know) was bleeding like crazy. Someone got me a cup filled with ice. By the time Clara/Pan got down, (she was about 5) the cup was filled with blood.
So we went to the hospital, and I got an x-ray done. The only thing I remember really from this whole injury experience was something that may not even have happened – I remember putting my hand on a very high table and there being a big white flash.
We call this the Bigga-Bigga-Band-Aid story because that’s what I called the bandage covering my whole hand.

One day in 5th grade I was climbing a tree, and the branch I was on broke. I fell 10 feet onto my back and the branch fell on top of me, and nothing happened. Later that day I was swinging on my neighbor’s swingset, and we were jumping off the swings. I was about to, but I didn’t make it. I tried to wait for it to go up again, but I fell off at the lowest point, which was about 1 foot off the ground, and broke my arm. I had to have a really large and uncomfortable splint from the ER for a long time because we couldn’t find anywhere with an open appointment to put a cast on it. The ER doesen’t do real casts, only splints.

Well, when I was 7, my friend Elias went on vacation, leaving my family and me to use his inground pool as we wish. He has this reeeeeeeeeally long and steep driveway, and a ton of little scooters, bikes, bigwheels, etc. So, one time after we had gone swimming, I decided to leap onto one of the scooters (in my bathing suit, no shoes, still soaking wet), and go careening down the driveway singing the Mission Impossible theme. I cracked one of my ribs. Ouch. I don’t reccomend it.

I have had a lot of bad injuries. A funny, but surprisingly not painful injury was when I was biking down a hill, my brakes broke, I couldn’t stop, I reached the end of the hill, where you had to go either left or right, and I was going FORWARD at an incredible speed, so I hit a wooden mailbox and flipped over. It actually really didn’t hurt (good thing I had a helmet!) My knees are now purple because of all the scars, bruises, and gashes have got there. My friend was playing football once, and his arm broke, and the bone went through his arm, and one of his arteries or veins (I forgot which) popped. He was outta school for 3 weeks!

My worst injury was in 7th grade when I fell off of my bike and broke my wrist. (Luckily, I’m ambidextrous.) My strangest injury was this year when I was in Printmaking class and was making a PVC cut self-portrait. The knife I was using slipped and sank into my left index finger. It was pretty deep, and left a scar. Which means that one of my fingerprints got altered, because the cut was so deep that the scar erased some of the lines.

My weirdest injury was stupidly induced. I did a handstand in my mom’s bathroom (I know, how stupid can you get!?!?!) and clonked the back of my ankle on the corner of the wall and took a chunk of skin off of it. I have a big scar.
Luckily, I have never broken anything, unless you count chipping a tooth as breaking a bone.

Wow, this thread sounds very painful. I have read alot of these stories….*shiver*. I have never hurt myself that badly really, just minor injuries like twisting my ankle, and pullin muscles in dance, etc. I had a really bad shin splint recently from dance….uh….the stupidest injury (it might be called that) was when my parents and I went to Mexico last summer. I had shorts on over my swimming suit, and we took a golf cart across the island we were on to a place to snorkel. Well I put my sunscreen on the way there (with my shorts still on) and then took them off to go snorkeling. Well, since you are floating a lot of the time, by behind with no sunscreen (since I did it with shorts on) got the worst sunburn I have ever had. The next day, I layed in the hotel room for like, the whole day, until we had to go eat, and it hurt greatly to sit down for at least a week and a half. I have never broken anything either. I passed out recently, on a field trip in front of half of my huge team and hit my head. But that is it. All of your stories sound very painful! Is anyone else having issues with the window you type your message in shrinking and then going away completely? Just wondering…

Dancergirl13 (90):
I had that same snorkling-burn experience, though I was in Hawaii, not Mexico. I agree – VERY painful to sit down!! But I don’t regret it, because snorkling was so fun. I’m more careful about putting on sunscreen, now, though — that’s for sure.

There were tons of little fishies where I was, and some guys threw food at me, so they all swam by me, it tickled, and was so cute!!!!
Hm…favorite fantasy charachters…..i would have to say Princess Blue, Henry, Pyrgus, and Mr. Fogarty from the Faerie wars series. I love them all! And of course Dobby from Harry Potter……um…..OH I completely forgot Luna Lovegood, I love her so much!!!!

104- The problem seems to occur with people who use Internet Explorer. The only fix I know of is to get Firefox or some other web browser.
105- My math teacher told us she left school the day of your test because she had an emotional breakdown. But she’s “Over it now”. She also told us the last time she took a mental health day off was because she hated the day’s lesson. I’m also pretty sure see has been/wants to be/is on drugs of some sort. I quote “The best thing for someone in pain is mind-altering drugs.”

Qui-Gon Jinn
Meggie Folchart (Inkheart, Inkspell)
Mo Folchart (Inkheart, Inkspell)
Saphira
I have more, but it would take hours to put them all down.
I guess the reason I like so many characters is because it is so fun to pretend to be someone else who can do so many things you can’t. So I pick the characters it would be fun to be.

I like everyone in Harry Potter except, strangely, Harry Potter himself. I mean, I don’t dislike him, but he is annoyingly stupid at times.

can we change the topic to future plans? and clubs we might want to join/create in high school/ college?
I’d like to be an editor. I’d like to learn more about walking on stilts. I’d like to work on an literary magazine or some such. I’d like to be a theatre-y person and work on sets and maybe occasionally act. I’d like to find a way to the roof of at least one building so I can sit up there at night. I’d like to be part of a gsa sort of group. I’d like to learn to juggle. I’d like to dance sometimes. I’d like to climb trees.

How about a Would you Rather thread?
Would you rather be which female character:

I’d choose a, myself.

OH MY GODS bookworm!!!!!!! I am obsessed with Percy Jackson series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I have almost convinced myself that Percy is my big brother.) I am VERY excited about May 6!

Watch Star Wars, or Star Trek?
Stay in War with the HPBs, or go to the PPP?
I’ll think of some more….

Ummmmm…
I’d pick Annabeth
136- I take it you mean escalator, in which case I would say up the down escalator.
I want a big brother!!!!!! (preferably Percy Jackson, but otherwise Conor Trewhella from the book Ingo.)
Star Wars, I think? because there’s nothing even remotely scary about it (but then again, the script is horrible… so maybe not).
And for the last one… depends on what the PPP is…? (I’m sorta new here…)
Would you rather… be able to fly or be able to breathe and withstand the pressure underwater (thinking, once again, about Ingo)?
Hmmm… even I can’t answer that one

Sister.

Female Character
Well, probably Hermione Granger. Because I know the most about her, and she’s smart.
Worm or dirt?
If it were a gummy worm, definitely a worm. But I actually have no idea. A cup of dirt is a lot of dirt…I think I’ll choose a tiny little worm, that is so small you can hardly see it. Then it will be over quickly.
Computer or Sibling?
Tantruming younger sibling, definitely. I’m really good with kids and I can deal with tantrums, but mean computers are impossible.
Sweltering hot or Below freezing?
Below freezing, definitely. You can always wear a coat.
Star Wars or Star Trek?
Star Trek, definitely. No question.

125) Voldy or Darth Vader? I don’t know……. hard decision……. I think Voldy though because he was big and bad all the way up till the end. Darth Vader kind of flopped by the end. *evil grin* 
129) a. definetly a.
131) A worm. It would be over quicker. Sediment sticks in your throat longer. Besides, you know pretty much what’s in a worm. Dirt is decomposed matter like rotting corpses, various wastes, chemicals, etc……
132) sibling
133) Hnmmmmmmmmm. I don’t know. Either way, I’d get used to it to the point that it’d be normal………
134) Percy Jackson series? Sounds interesting……… Genre? Reading level? Interesting things that might get me even more interested?
136) 1. Down and up, because I love going down
2. Neither a brother or sister. I’ve already got one sister and a brother would be provoking.
3. Star Wars, all the way. *May the force be with you*
4. Hmmmmm. I don’t know……
137) Fly. *dreamy look*
140) Depends what you mean. I could be a rich ice sculpturist. Or one of those professional pianists that plays on flaming pianos. My work is destroyed constantly but I still contribute to the world and am appreciated……..
142) ARg! Both of those are the unspeakable for me. They both make me want to throw up. I don’t think I could possibly answer that question. Just thinking about it makes me wanna………. *gag*
145) LOTR. I love that series! Wait, we need a crazy fanatic smilie because……..
146) Breathe underwater. It would stink to be invisible…….
147) No you’re not! What kind of talk is that?
149) True…… I was thinking the same thing…… but I answered everything anyway. For future notice, everyone should come on down to the Polling Place, because, frankly, it’s going kind of slow right now………

142 – I choose not to answer that question.
145 – LOTR!!!!!!! Definitley!!!!!!!!!
146 – Hard one… Of course, I would never choose to be invisible ALL the time.
147 – You’re not invisible here!!!
150 – Percy Jackson is sort of sci-fi fantasy. It’s about the Greek gods and how they are still alive, and they have a lot of children with mortals. These children are mortal, but they have special powers and go on awesome adventures. I’m 14, obsessed, and always will be. Definitely read it! One of the 3 best series of all time!
The other 2 are Ingo and Bloody Jack (the title of the latter TOTALLY misrepresents it. The latter and possibly the former I would recommend to girls only).

I love cucumbers, but I’m not a huge fan of pickles. My favorite fruit is tied between many. Grapes are delicious, but not the gigantic ones that almost certainly have been genetically engineered. The ones that have a lot of flavor. Same with strawberries.

I wish to point out that cucumbers, to be truly savoured, must be treated correctly. They should be sliced very thinly, then made into sandwiches with best quality thin sliced white bread, which is difficult to obtain nowadays. It should be lightly buttered, with best butter, of course. The crusts should be removed, and the sandwiches cut into neat little squares, about an inch and a half across. That’s the way you’ll find them served at the Hare and Hedgepig.
Apologies for the gratuitous advertisement.

I think that sugar-free foods are simply ridiculous, especially when in foods that are supposed to be sweet! Who ever heard of sugar free icecream? How is this possible?! How can this be accepted?! Icecream and various other sweets are sweets for a REASON! They have SUGAR! Grrrrrrr! 
If people want to loose weight, they should eat normal healthy foods like cucumbers and peaches instead of eating “healthy” sweets. That just doesn’t work, or, at least, it shouldn’t.
OK. rant is over.

Paul (193): I agree completely! That’s definitely the way they should be eaten/served.

yes, people with diabetes shouold be allowed sweets, but that doesnt mean people trying to lose weight should go around eating sugar free ice cream. besides, a common misconception is that as you eat these “calorie free” and “sugar free” products you lose weight. thats just ridiculious.
now, grapefruits must be eaten with sugar, and strawberries must be eaten plain. and cucumbers are too healthy to even be considered.

Ok, I’m purposely morphing the chameleon for a minute. Our class student teachers (or interns, ed500s, whatever,) had to leave today, and it was really sad! She (the intern) wrote us a letter and read it aloud and I cried like a baby. It was sort of pathetic. She was a Katrina victim, and her mom died of cancer 2 weeks before Christmas, and now she’s going to be in the Peace Corps for 3 years. That just really touched me. i couldn’t stop crying for hours afterward.

I put sugar on my grapefruit. And now we have this natural Hawaiian sugar that is really good… Mmmm. Now I’m going to have to go eat some grapefruit!
And a past topic was injuries: Well, it’s hard to say. I have many scrapes and scars and such just from gardening and such. But, my worst scar is on my right elbow. I had a bike accident last summer, and a rock in the pavement took a chunk out of each side. It’s never fully filled in, and it is still strange and changes colors. (Purple, pink, red…) One side is shaped like a heart!
Sorry, I don’t mean to gross you out or anything. But my skin is never in exactly tip top shape Hey, it’s either this or not actually living and doing stuff. Which would you prefer?

My sister has to wear a pink long skirt that goes way above your belly button, with sequins, and than a high shirt that starts right when the skirt ends (it is all one outfit thingy majjiger) I’m MISERABLE!! We have to sit there all day doing nothing. The food is way too spicy and it doesn’t really taste good. HELP!

221 – I’m sorry. *sends sympathy to Beatlesrockr at boring wedding*
I have been to three weddings (cousin, aunt, mom’s second cousin distant relative) and they were pretty boring. Although, my mom’s second cousin distant relative’s wedding was cool, because they’re Jewish and had different customs and it was in a redwood grove. But overall, weddings are boring.

I agree. Weddings can be very boring when in the audience, especially if you don’t know the person. *groan* And it’s even worse when you go to a wedding and can’t even stay after for food. because the food is the only worth while thing about those kinds of weddings I just mentioned. However, I suppose that, if it was your own wedding, you would be pretty excited about it.

I was a flower girl in my aunt’s wedding when I was in 2nd grade.
I thought it was really fun, but I don’t remember much.
I remember that there was a big thing of holy water in the aisle, and I wanted to play in it.

I don’t even remember the last wedding I went to…It was my aunt’s wedding and I was 2, and the only evidence I’ve seen is a picture of me with the wedding people. But I’m going to a wedding at the end of this summer of friends of my family, and it’s my first wedding I’ll actually remember, so it should actually be nice.

apparently, and i don’t remember this, i was once a flower girl and i walked down the isle picking my nose. i was a truly revolting little kid.
this summer there will be two weddings inmy family, within approx. 10 hours of each other, in different states. so we have to choose one to go to, and it could be this whole schism. and nobody liked my i dea of staying in between the two place so we could go to both ( which wouldn’t work, but still) because in between is apparentley death valley. sniff. it will be a long vacation.
i just found teriaki noodles in my hair. how did this happen??? it is foul!!!!!!!!

Beatlesrockr,
Was the wedding as awful as you feared? (Your “free at last” comment makes me think it was pretty bad.) But maybe there were at least some moments of enjoyment??
And if it WAS awful, you’re likely to have some vivid memories. Somehow awful times are more memorable than happy times.

I don’t understand why people are thinking weddings are so awful. Most weddings I’ve been to have been great. One even had one of those liquid chocolate fountains at the reception YUM! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

240- No offense taken. I, at the time, wished that too!
242- Yes, it was as awful as I feared. But luckily, I got to skip a little of the actual wedding, for my soccer game (YES! My dad took me, because he also didn’t really want to go) We went to the reception after that. Everybody made speeches and jokes, we had dinner, and dessert, but I went home when everyone started dancing because they was acting like they were drunk. So yeah, it was o.k. but I was in pain and agony. So boring to just sit there. Luckily, the next day, I got to go to a little kids 1ST BIRTHDAY *Sarcasm* YEAH! Little 1 year olds who couldn’t even walk were all over the place. The birthday girl was even tinier than I thought. But she was so cute!

I like weddings, me being the hopeless romantic that I am. I was a flower girl once. I still have the little tiara that I wore… awwww.
So, since I think this topic is getting a bit dull, how about we discuss cats? I love cats. This past christmas I got two little kittens named Holly and Ivy, and they are the love of my life. They are now curled up on the same armchair with their little paws wrapped around themselves, cleaning… *MissSwann’s heart melts into a little puddle of goo*

How about if we lead off from Beatlesrockr’s comment about the cute little birthday girl and MissSwann’s about her cute kittens and turn the thread’s theme to “what’s cute?”

I don’t hate weddings. Actually they’re not too bad. “A wedding? I love weddings! Drinks all around!!” as Jack Sparrow puts it…..
What’s cute? HOT PINK BUNNIES ARE ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
However, they are also the “supreme eville.”
My cat is cute, and he’s not evil. In fact, he’s wonderful and I love him to pieces. (well, not really to pieces, but you know what I mean!) But I think that going in this direction would violate the rules of MB as being a (mostly) neutral ground on cats vs. dogs.
And, uuh, my concertina is cute!! All little and honky and charming!
I’ll stop now, don’t worry.

Anyway. My little sister is cute (but evil)! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

A discussion of cuteness cannot be complete without reference to Stumpy Gerbil, which many of you may have missed, as the photo is posted on an old thread.

Maybe we should have a thread where you send in pictures of your pets! It could be called, uhm, Pet Gallery, or something. THAT would be cute.
Before, I completely forgot about my big lump of a cat Simon! He’s 8 or something, and I love him to death. He’s very fat though… and it’s cute when he sits like a person and his belly sloshes around as he tries to lick himself. XD

I have an 8-year-old brother. He has Aspergers syndrome, though, so his involuntary noises and such can be a little annoying. But he’s great, otherwise. He was adorable when he was little, trust elmo…
Along with my 3 ADORABLE cats, I have a horse (Jolly) 2 goats (Lewis and Abraham) a dog (Molly) and 2 hermit crabs (Harry and Hermione. Ron died.) Thet’re all pretty cute.

I love my gerbilllll. He (or maybe she) is missing a front foot and the toes on a back foot. En is not old enough to tell the gender of yet.
I just made a very awkward sentence.
I should get pictures of the other baby gerbils.

Hey guys, it’s been a while (what a year?) but I’ve been checking up on you, generally. So… On topic,
I don’t really understand where cute comes from. I understand that baby animals were designed with wide eyes and all making them “cute” and that’s what makes us (the adult animals) take care of them, but what part of our brain triggers that “Awww..?”
I guess I’ll wait and see what goes on. Because I’m too lazy to research for meeself.
((And my dog, Spike, is cute.)

273-I haven’t done any research or anything either, but my guess would be that we and other animals evolved the sense of cuteness so that we would want to take care of babies, because any species where the adults take better care of the babies is more likely to survive?
I have no pets and my only sibling is a brother who is now 18, so not at all cute.

276 – Yeah, I read on the back of an organic cereal box that the wide eyes on babies make us want to take care of them, but I’m wondering what part of our brain makes us recognize that as “cute.” You know? What pheremones?
0
0
280- I read an article in National Geographic about that. My kitties do have HUGE eyes. I wonder if it is pheremones, then do females have more than guys? Because we are the mothers, and guys don’t seem to ‘get’ cute things as much… something to ponder?

I think I ‘get’ cute things just as much as girls…

282 – But I think she means you’ll catch the female saying “Aww” more often than you will the male. Maybe it’s because we’re generally the ones who have to take care of the infant? In animal standards, that is.

My roadkill pig bookmark is cute! (No, I’m not really that much of a sadist, if you disrgeard the x’s over the pig’s eyes and the tire tracks over its stomach, it could really be viewed as an absoultely adorable depiction of a *coughs politely* sleeping pig. In fact, when I got it, that’s what I though it was, it was only afterwards that I realized that its medical condtion was a little more extreme)…
Its interesting to think of cuteness as an evolutionarily accquired trait…
