Just two more to go. Looks as if we’re going to make it, as the curtain rises…
(Users’ Manual: Obey The Rules. Consult The Guide. Have fun!)
Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
Aaaah! Nooo! If the curtain goes up, then the bunnies will come out! We can’t let that happen! *guards the curtain*
(first post?)
Oh! New thread! Penultimate is such a great word. It sounds like an ultimate pen. I wonder what that would be?
2- Next to last.
The first clear day in a while. I’m going to enjoy track today.
*joins groundhog22*
(2) And “antepenultimate” means next to next to last, i.e., third from the end. The only person I’ve ever known to use it in conversation is Pollyhymnia.
Oooh! I love “antepenultimate” . I will try to use it conversation as soon as possible! Thought if I use it in school evil peoples shall tease me for using big words. NEH.
I am having a horrible week. It won’t be as horrible if anyone cares enough about me to ask me what was horrible about it.
Wow, another one!
Penultimate. Oh, I must say this word sometime.
Actually, I used antepenultimate on a write-up of a math problem. (It was about numbers in a list.) And I probably drop the word penultimate into conversation at least once a week. (I’m the type of person who drops words like capharnaum, cacography, and onychophagia into everyday conversation.)
When do Muse Academy South classes start, and where are they? HELP!!!
Another good word that geologists use is penecontemporaneous (pronounced “penny-contemporaneous”), which means “occurring (or created) at about the same time.” For example, you might know that two mountain ranges are about the same age, but not which one rose first. In one of his books, the science writer John McPhee imagines a way to work it into a conversation:
“I’m sorry, am I late?”
“No, we arrived penecontemporaneously.”
11-Thats brilliant.
6-*complies with request* What was bad about it?
Yesterday, I was writing an English assignment and as I wrote I kept on thinking off words that I had seen in the writings of some Mber’s and using them and it was so excting! I have a serious predilection for prolix writing!
Whoa this is so awesome, I’m using realplayer as a web browser and it has favorites and evrything like a traditional browser I just went to the Search tab and typed in the site! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I feel ignorant… i decided to announce my Latin triumph on the last thread instead if reading ahead and behind about Kagy’s departure. And i also feel bad for feeling bad that no one told me thier Latin scores. thats all. (i did read all the other posts, i have a bunch of phobias to share)
I haven’t been posting a lot in a while, I should keep up with things more. Did anybody miss me?
10- I’d like to know the same about Muse Academy
11- Well thats a good way to confuse your friends
ex.
“Sorry I’m late, man”
“No problem, i got here penecontemporaneously.”
“Say what???”
(Did i use it the right way?)
AWESOME! Well, I have one thing. I have been on Museblog for almost a year, and I have asked this before, why am I not on the Who’s Here list? I saw some neophytes on the list, but I’m still not there.
I used it in a conversation once, but I’d been trying for a while to fit it in.
And I did again recently. The cheerleaders at our school where the antepenultimate team at state. Which is true.
3 – I know what it means, but thanks.
Antepenultimate. Penecontemporaneously .Hmmmm…. I should use those in conversations, which already confuse my friends. Even when I just say “unintelligible”, they look at me weirdly. Wow. Using those words shall convince them of my irreversible nerdness.
9–you were in (or at least studied for) the National Spelling Bee, I take it? I remember those long nights, reading the dictionary…
Off subject, but I wonder what the longest word in the English language is?
Answering my own question (sorry for the double post)…
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis–45 letters. It is a term for a lung disease contracted by inhaling very fine silica particles from volcanos. It was originally a made up word, but now it’s actually used to describe what it says it describes.
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu–85 letters. The longest officially recognized place name. (I just like that one).
5- Isn’t that a quine from a series of books by Madeline L’Engle that I haven’t read? I mean, I read “A Wrinkle in Time,” “A Wind in the Door” (still don’t get that title, by the way), and “Many Waters,” but I havenae read any of her other stuff. Is it worth it?
Argh. My woes aren’t terribly Muserly today, seeing as they are about ball gowns. A curious thing to be woeful about, given that I’ve never been to a ball. Some time before the fire S– (my mom) procured a very lovely light blue ball gown. Unfortunately, it was too large, so I set it aside until I had an occasion and I was large enough to wear it. Well, it went through the fire, and it came out fairly well, we thought, so we gave it a wash and it shrank. To my size. Which is astonishing and joyful. So I tried it on, and it’s the most amazing dress. But the smoke stains that are still there happen to be in awkward places. I need a way to modify it.
Dyeing it a darker blue would be perfect, except that it wouldn’t take evenly. So I’m still trying to think, and I’m not coming up with anything.
ANYHOW, that’s that. And it’s as not as though I’ll ever have an occasion to wear it anyway. *sighs*
My the way, I ♥ the words:
Penultimate
Antepenultimate
Penecontemporaneously
And pretty much anything else with “pen” in it.
Nice big words everybody.
I know I am EXTREMELY late, SO late that there’s really no point, but oh well: I haven’t been here long enough to ever have met you, Kagy, but I’ll miss you anyways! Hope you’re happy!
1- what’s all this about? Why are we guarding the curtain and why don’t we want the bunnies to get out? WHY ARE THERE BUNNIES BEHIND A CURTAIN?????
6- In compliance with your wishes: Why are you having a horrible week?
10- SAME QUESTION!!!!!!
14- I have no Latin scores at this point in my life.
17- SAME QUESTION!!!!!!! okay, I’m really new, so I shouldn’t be talkin’ but… SAME QUESTION!!!!!!!!
I have invented a word:
SNARFENCOTTSBLATT!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and:
POOPITFITZGERALDFUDGECAKES!!!!!!!!!!!
They are both pronounced exactly how they look.
Approval? Criticism? Anyone?
Question to the GAPAs: Why aren’t the hearts working? They come out as weird vertical lines. ex: ♥
Sometimes I wonder how cool it would be if someone had the sort of ball they used to in the Renaissance up to the mid-1800s. I mean, elegant waltzes playing, people dressed much nicer than they do today (today people dress like they want you to think they’re morons), champagne, a beautifully proportioned room with chandeliers….. Mmmmm. I’m a sucker for the past, especially history.
27- God. That is what I want for my birthday party.
That is what I’ll never get for my birthday party. *sigh* If I ever have a ball like that, I’ll remember to invite you.
27-Just so. Sometimes, I stand in the middle of the hallway, hum the Blue Danube, waltz with myself, shut my eyes, pretend I’m standing in the midst of an immense ballroom, and procure a lot of stares. And I am competely serious about this.
I just got back from a dance performance at a theater near my house. It was one of those pieces where each of the dancers has a very distinct personality and I had a lot of fun making up stories that went along with the varying moods and characters of the piece.
Anomaly and proliferate are presently my favorite words.
28- Dude, if you ever do… I will buy a kilt, sporran, and double-breasted jacket just for that.
30- OK.
I’d loveloveLOVE to do that for my 15th birthday, but do I know enough people? *makes list of people she would invite* *makes new list of people who would come to that kind of party* Gosh, this second list is sort of…short.
Not to mention I don’t know how to waltz…nor do I have a ballroom.
This needs some serious work. Maybe I’ll do it for my 16th birthday.
(29) I certainly believe you, as I do that, too, in various public places.
27~ Need you wonder? I know that it would be awesome. Oh, and I need to see a picture of that outfit from post 30.
31~ I’d come! gladly! Hmm, but then, I can;t exactly dance either. Oh well.
This spell check is making me nervous. I keep seeing all these words underlined in red…am I really that bad of a speller, or a typist? *examines self* Um, yes, I am. Oops. The comment box non-shrinkage is nice though. (I just got FireFox.)
Well goodnight all, I’d stay and chat all night, but mom just got out of the shower, and I’m up next.
17-Really? I remember seeing you on there.
Gahhhh 38 days of school left or something. But it’s almost almost over, but not close enough for one almost.
I found a lovely rock in the park the other day. It’s a large round boulder halfway in the creek, so there’s just enough way to get on top of it.
If anyone is planning on hosting a proper ball, I would like to attend.
I just realized that a lot of the time I feel like the world’s big sister.
Sister is one of my favorite words.
We’re planning a May Day Ball at Muse Academy. The organizing committee could use a few volunteers…
35- I’ll volunteer!
35- Really?
Hmm. Nobody missed me.
Anyway, I’ve started a script. Probably not going to be finished. It’s not a Screnzy, though. I’m not sure what it is. It’s just there.
The actors in our play really need to start panicking right about now. They’re still not taking this seriously. I’ve learned the Friend Like Me dance in two days, and they’ve been going at it for two months. What’s so hard about the jazz square????
Hmm. May Day Ball? I suggest: no music louder than 70 decibels. Or, at least, music that doesn’t blast your ears out. Also, I suggest that all students may be permitted to leave the ball at any time to read a book or climb a tree, because I have had terrible experiences being stuck in a dance. It was, of course, way worse than any Muse Academy ball could be, but still, options are good.
Mm. *has visions of May Day Ball* *faints with pleasure*
Of course, it must be diverse. There may be people in Muse Academy who prefer pop music to classical, so we have to play all kinds of music.
I’m trying to think what would be the best setting. Um.
Midsummer – outside, Chinese lanterns
Midwinter – inside, tiny twinkling white lights
Hallowe’en – inside, dim light, jack-o-lanterns
May Day – Outside, I think, at night of course (all balls must be at night), with tea lights, maybe those floating candles. There should be a long table with various small snacks and beverages, and a May pole illuminated somehow with tiny yellow lights. Formal dress is required.
My dear Alice, I DO hope you’d invite me to this party of yours.
I volunteer to help organize the May Day Ball!
This is going to be very exciting!
We should definitely have a little wedding ceremony for Red-tailed HAWK and Missswann. Alice, you have all the details spot on!
OMG I GOT ONE OF THE LEADS IN OLIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could we have the May Day Ball include MAS???
10 – Classes start tomorrow on the Muse Academy RPG thread
I voulunteer to help with the Ball!
41- Well, sure. But, um, who are you?
42- Congrats!
We just finished watching “The Long, Long Trailer.” It was amusing.
44 – She appears to be a neophyte. *pies Princess Bella with a easy-clean pie, so as not to ruin the expensive dress she’s bound to be wearing*
32-Huzzah! : )
Can one come to the ball even if one is not involved in the RPG? *hot pink bunny eyes*
Is the majority of the dancing to take place indoors or out?
YIPEE! I get to go to the recording studio in 11 hours!!!!!
I invented the word “freird”
freaky+weird=freird
35 – I’ll volunteer!
Sorry I wasn’t here yesterday, but traffic was terrible and I got home at 7. I was soooo tired….
31 – I would totally come! That sounds like a lot more fun than any of my parties, or school dances! Echhhh….school dances…..
35 – That sounds like fun. I’m volunteering!
47 – What are you recording?
Geometry=death.
Alice, about the ball gown, just die it the darker blue. even if it doesn’t take evenly then sometimes that makes it look cool…..
50- that bad? i have to take honors geometry next year…. well i dont have to but i have a reputation to uphold.
51 – I’m in Honors Geometry. But its probably not the same course that you’ll take….I do it online at home. And it sucks, because then I still have “class” over breaks and weekends.
Oh my god, dude. I had the worst dream ever last night. Worst dream I’ve ever had in my entire life.
I dreamed I was giving blood, and that I passed out. (More than likely in real life.) But then I dreamed that while I was passed out, they took more and more of my blood, (this was one of those dreams in which you see yourself) so I just watched myself lie there, becoming paler and paler while the people switched bottles. I’m hemophobic, too, so imagine how bad that was.
Now I’d like you to imagine that on the very day after I have the dream, there’s an informative assembly about the blood drive taking place at our school in a couple of weeks. Aggghhh!!!
53- relax. my worst dream ever is about wolves. I dont knwo why but whenever there is some dark corner, just big enough to fit a hairy body i freak out. I’ll admit, blood is a little scary and the coincidence doesn’t help but dont worry, it’ll go away.
51- True. And it’s not as though it could make it worse.
53- Ugh.
54- Oi! You don’t seem to understand. 1. I’m hemophobic. That means that when I hear about, think about, or see too much blood, surgical procedures, or whatever, I experience vasovagal syncope. I faint. It’s very, very unpleasant. 2. They stole my blood, dude! That’s almost as bad as organ theft! I’m using my blood! I need it to survive!
56- I know what that means. i was trying to calm you down but i guess i’ll just stalk off instead. this is where caring gets me. hmph!
I was going to have a Star Party tomorrow for Yuri’s Night, but my friends had to go see a play that some of their friends are in.
20 – Yes, last year. And again this year. I probably should be studying right now.
30 – I’d hold off on the kilt if I were you. A kid in my grade actually has a kilt, and it is very weird.
42 – Good job!
A ball would be nice. But I shouldn’t complain; I’m having a big Bat Mitzvah party at the end of this year. Barbecue food and a jazz trio.
Well, mom’s surgery today was very successful! She had a Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic partial right hepatic lobectomy and cholecystectomy. Basically, liver resection. She originally had 6 tumors in the liver, and no more had grown, which is very good. The surgery took 10 hours, and her liver was apparently sticky, so they had to make a gigantic incision (instead of just laparoscopically), because they had to get their hands in there to make sure the liver didn’t stick to other veins and organs and such. Currently, she’s in recovery, then she’ll go to ICU for the next day or so, and be in the hospital for about a week after that.
Then, she’ll spend the next several months growing her liver back. Apparently the “hip and happening” cancer treatment nowadays, is Dendritic cells. (The “hip and happening” is a quote from my mother.) What they’ll do, is take the cancer cells from the tumors and mix them with cells from the immune system (I’m not sure exactly what kind), and create basically a cancer vaccine, which I think is pretty much the coolest thing in the whole world.
60- I’m glad it was successful! Tell your mother that Prarilius Oob Sir Ozlips Canix sends get-well wishes.
60~ I’m so glad that your mom is okay. That’s really scary, hugs and (gently thrown) pies to you all.
53~ Eew. I used to always have nightmares, and sometimes I could wake myself up by yelling. Now I never remember my dreams.
59~ KILTS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know a few guys that wear them and I think they’re one of the coolest things a guy can wear. *swoons* *recovers and laughs at self while blushing*
23- would it be odd to add a ribbon or some sort of pattern in the stained parts? that might work.
I need a prom dress eventually. I don’t really even want to /go/ to prom. My school friends aren’t really my close friends. blech.
But I’ll help plan the ball! And Alice, your party sounds great!
I’m sorry, that sounds like a horrible dream, Grant.
(responses to posts that weren’t up while mine was being typed)
I’m glad your mom’s surgery went well, PP!
I agree. Kilts are awesome.
60) That’s so good she’s okay. Interesting about the treatment too, I didn’t know they did that! (the immune cells thing)
kilts are….okay. its the knee socks i can’t handle. Is there an official name for those too?
60- Tell her…. im not sure how to say get well in Latin. but you can tell her i said that “incolumis” means “safe” or “unharmed” she migh like that…..
60- *Gives PP’s and THF’s Mother Virtual Chocolate*
Give Get well soon wishes from TMFA!
60- That’s great! Sounds gross but yeah if it helps! And the cancer vaccine thingy sounds really.
Yay I got a part in the play! I’m Teeny in a radio drama thing called Fibber McGee and Molly. It’s going to be so awesome and the set is going to rock! With On Air signs and everything!
68- I can sing! “If I only had a brain”
60 – That’s awesome!
60-Glad to hear it.
Kilts are da bomb! (great, now I am going to have the entire CIA tracking me!)
71- It’s ok, they’ve been after me for years, you learn to live with it.
60- I’m glad your mom’s OK. *get well pies and chocolate*(
63- Well, a ribbon might work for some of it, but it would take a LOT of creativity to make it work for the other bits.
KILTS: Not having seen many kilts being worn, I can’t say I have much of an opinion based on that. However, kilts are not widely worn, therefore anyone who wears a kilt automatically gains my approval.
72-
I hope you can pass on a couple of hints to me!
Ha ha! I love the pic!
Kilts? Erm……..
(62) re: kilts. My sentiments exactly. *pretends she didn’t say that*
I want a kilt so very badly, but I’m currently unemployed, and kilts cost money. I think I have good kilt legs.
Hmm. Kilts are neat. There was a guy at the hockey games who wore a kilt and had a red mowhawk and piercings and tattoos and such. He was very nice.
The mosquitoes have come out and attacked my legs.
Happy Bunny quote:
You can’t have your cake and eat it too, but you can have your cake and eat someone else’s. Now isn’t that fun?
If any MBer ever wears a kilt, I want to see a picture.
My non-Muser friend is reading over my shoulder, and she thinks we are completely insane nerds.
80- say “Thank you”
81 – She is now trying to de-nerdify me by forcing me to listen to punk rock. Um. HELP!
80-What else could we be?
I used the word penultimate at my sister’s track meet today. People just ignored me a lot more than usual.
My mom and brother are coming home in 10-20 minutes…and I’m in a pretty bad mood. Ish. It’s not really an angry mood, but just a sort of…sad for no real reason mood. I really don’t want them to come home while I look like I’ve been crying/am about to cry…
82- Is she still reading this? ‘Cause punk rock isn’t going to de-nerdify people, says the ultimate punk/goth/nerd/genius.
Sorry I’ve been gone, my friends, but, well, life happened.
I don’t exactly have an opinion on kilts…I’ve never really seen them on anybody.
A very scary thing: On the Friday of Spring Break, you and your parents drive north for an hour to a pretty little town to walk around. You promptly see a girl you know from school who absolutely disgusts you* and are forced to spend the rest of the day hiding your face behind your parents when ever someone approaches. This is especially hard when you are pretty much the only person in the town with red hair and a square-shaped purple hat.
*[For example, this girl laughed so hard snot came out onto her hands. She wipes her hands dry on eachother (covering both hands in grossness) and grabs all the papers the teacher passes to your table before you can take a clean one.]
My mom and brother are home. I wish they weren’t. Really bad. I wish they were gone again.
Gah.
87- Aw, I’m sorry. *tries to cheer up with plans for the summer kokon* Er… *fails utterly*
Yeah. Can’t really be discussed on here. Not much to discuss, anyway.
88 – Speaking of which, why haven’t you e-mailed me back about that? Or did I just miss the e-mail or something?
85 – Yes, she is.
Smiley time!
89- What wait huh? When? How? Who where?
*rushes off to read old emails*
I need to go to bed.
I’ve been looking at pictures from way back when I was but a wee bairn. Think from babyhood to about seven or eight. Boy, am I glad I’m not a little kid anymore!
OMG – has anyone seen te Starveillance videos??? Thayre HILARIOUS
eeew – I hate kilts – I have to wear one as part of my uiform, and *gasps for air because she is hyperventalating* THEY’RE ITCHY!!
wahhhhhhhh
Ugh. Yesterday I was in a good mood for the longest time and I couldn’t sleep.
That always happens. -_-
By the way, greekgurl, I’d like to apologize for how I acted yesterday. I’d been upset all day and the thought that someone was dismissing the worst dream I’d ever had in favor of one of theirs was infuriating, and I overreacted. I’m sorry.
I’ve got to go to Greek School soon. Yegh.
74- Do you know where the nearest bobm shelter is? thats always good to know….
80- I’ve tried introducing three friends to MuseBlog…..three of them have met the men in white suits…
82- Blech, at the very least try soft rock
87- I wish my mom was home. She and my dad went to some soccer thing in the city and wont be back ’til one thirty. I woke up at 8 AM(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) to the sound of my brother’s awful screeching (he plays the violin) Meanwhile, I am trying to make myself not resemble an ostrich’s backside (my hair looks really bad) and I’m going to the movies today. They have tackled me three times.
96- Think nothing of it. (did i make you feel better at all?)
97- SWEET!
98-Thanks! *rushes of to google bomb shelter*
Meow! If you’re around here, check your e-mail!
I just got back from my sister’s solo/ensemble competition thingy.
There was a really cute boy with a viola there, but he left before I could talk to him.
I think that is the most violins I have ever seen in one day.
100 – Will do.
Does any one know how to write algebraic multiplication in a word document?! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Is it just me or has that curtain risen a little disturbingly high? I think I see some pink fuzz peeking out from underneath it and I find this very disconcerting. Hem. Hem. Now, before I go continue to write my 5-8 page history paper I will compose a short poem about it.
I have so muck homework,
But I prefer on the blog to lurk.
Tada!
99 – I don’t think you can find a bomb shelter on Amazon. You may want to check eBay.
Another tech question, does anyone know if its legal to put files from a copyrighted music CD you buy at the store onto an mp3 player?! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
106- If you bought the CD, and its your own personal MP3 player, then it’s perfectly legal.
103-For multiplication, you can either use parentheses or an asterik, or no symbol. So it could be 4x if it was just that.
If you had another number it would be different. 4x(9) or 4x*9 would mean 4 times x times nine. Just don’t use x for a multiplying symbol, because then you cant tell if it’s for a variable or a symbol.
106-Yep it is. As long as you are not posting it on the internet or getting it from an illegal website it’s ok. So iTunes is good, but not….something not good.
53- Eep. I’m not a hemophobe at all, but that’s still really creepy.
I was going to give blood at school on friday, but I forgot to get that sheet signed that says I can even though I’m 16… ahg.
60- Yay! And the Dendritic cells seem like a great idea, they could actually work really well if it does act like a vaccine… it’d be great for everyone if they work like I hope they do
I’m glad for your mom.
Kilts=yes
I was at a sleepover last night. Watched Sweeny Todd(very good), talked, hugged Feather for a long time cause this is her last weekend here and she’s moving this week
Went to sleep around 3:30, got upa t 6:50 and left sleepover early to go take the ACT.
Yes, I know you’re supposed to have a lot of sleep before standardized tests. But I’m still a soph, and I took it for practice last year to, so it won’t hurt me
Now I’m tired again though. And I have a hockey game at 7:30 tonight…
109 – The ACT isn’t that hard. I got a 27 without studying.
98- Not great. My teacher’s really mean.
And now to the IMPORTANT POST THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD READ:
On this day in 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person ever to fly into space. In old Russia, this was known as Cosmonautics Day, today it is celebrated as Yuri’s Night. (For more information, you can look up the Wikipedia article, which is very good) This is a day to take a few mintues out of life to consider how small we truly are in this grand and ancient Universe.
Peace, Love and Space,
Kai
Kilts….hmmm. Not too sure about kilts.
Oh dear! Only one more day of Spring Break!
ACT? What’s that stand for?
112 – I’m not quite sure. I think it’s Academic something Test… maybe.
111-Cool!
105-An excellent idea.
Blast! I have to write a character history, but I don’t know the first thing about my character! And E told us to look in the previous play, but I can’t find it anywhere…
103 – Typsetting algebra in Word is tough. I wouldn’t recommend it. What I would recommend is downloading LaTeX, which is a program for typesetting math. Unfortunately, LaTeX takes awhile to learn, so I would more strongly recommend downloading LyX, which is a more user-friendly LaTeX.
99- You’re welcome.
I just got back from seeing a movie called 21. Heard of it?
Alright. I am off to do my history paper and I am not coming back until I have completed my first point, as much as it pains me.
History papers are bad
They make me exceedingly sad.
To just one of them write
Is like fighting a fight,
O how I bemoan my own plight.
Now I really should work,
Though I would rather lurk.
Though its not much fun,
From the truth I can’t run.
So now I will sit,
And try to keep my wit,
As I write a bit
Of my essay.
Ok, the last time I was on here there were like ten posts, so I’m gong to answer all the things that have been going on on this thread without posting post numbers. I love disorganization.
On the subject of kilts: I suppose I like them. A boy at my school wears one sometimes, because he’s part Scottish or something…he’s also the one who walked around barefoot until someone caught him, though, so he may have just wanted to be exciting. Our school is so gross that walking around barefoot is probably equivalent to picking fleas off someone with the black plague.
On the subject of dances: a ball sounds lovely. I suppose I shall have to start sewing my ball gown…what era shall our costumes be, and what nationality? I’m thinking either 1700s French, Victorian American, or Spanish mid-1800s. I suppose fans are required?
On the subject of hemophobia: I’m not afraid of blood, or even needles, really, just something sticking into me and sucking stuff out…gross. I’ll probably never give blood. I can’t even take it when the nurse sticks my finger at the doctor’s office.
My worst nightmare…I think in recent memory, it was a rather interesting one that I should probably turn into a short story. A foreign nation had taken over America, and all the Americans were being killed. My Chem teacher (no idea how she got in there) was a spy for the other side and was supposed to kill my sister and I. We were locked in this really frightening machine shop, and my Chem teacher had hypodermic needles filled with poison, and was supposed to stick us with them and then get out before the whole place was incinerated. I think I hit her over the head with a rock…but then the door was still locked and we couldn’t get it open, and right before I woke up I was wondering whether it would hurt to die…
It was rather frightening and violent. I have extremely vivid dreams, probably thanks to my overactive imagination, and sometimes they’re wonderful, but other times I have very, very frightening ones. Funny, isn’t it, how nightmares center on our worst fears? It’s like are brains are saying, “Oh, this scares me to death, let’s put me in this situation and make me stay up half the night trying to convince myself it’s not real.” Bleah.
End of long post.
Er… kilts? If they’re plaid and cool I like them. All I have to say.
OMG ERIN HUNTER IS COMING ON THE 23rd! Did I say that before? Whatever. *hyperventilates* Nurr I need to like make a list of warriors names for her.
Oh dear, it looks as if my post on kilts has become a bit controversial. Let me clarify. I thought kilts were pretty cool until I walked into band one day and noticed that my stand partner was wearing a kilt. I do not particularly like this person, and the kilt looked rather bad on me. Nor is he Scottish; in fact, he is 100% Italian. That set me against kilts. (Of course, I love the Malvolio costume he wore for Twelfth Night complete with neck ruff and yellow stockings. Then again, I loved all the Twelfth Night costumes, which we got from the Lyric Opera.)
117 – I’ve heard of it, but I haven’t seen it.
120 – Wow! Cool! Warrior names for her to use in the books, you mean, or what?
Oh great. My little sister has decided that she doesn’t like filtered tap water. This is slightly problematic, because we have lead pipes (I live in an old house). I just hope we keep our house stocked with plenty of milk/root beer/other beverages she likes.
123 – Our cousin once decided she would only drink bottled water. it was torture.
these words are wonderful and all
but what is this thread supposed to be about??
125 – It’s the random thread. So it’s about whatever we talk about.
123 – This is our random thread of the month. If you were here a year ago, then you probably saw them differently, with titles like “Fantastic February” or “Amazing April”. This is the same thing as that, but with a different name.
Oh, and welcome back. -pies-
120- Warrior names:
Kynefiend
Laceda
Anaxia
I just got back from an Evalyn Parry concert! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
So much work Stop I just watched Moliere Stop It was really quite good Stop More later Stop
Hooray for telegrams Stop
Help. I can’t post. I tried to post this on the diaries thread and it failed three times:
Help, I can’t post! This is mortifying. *breathes deeply* *tries again*
Well, this seemed to be an evening full of surprises. We hadn’t even sat down to dinner yet, and already, madness in every feasible form.
Please let this work!
I guess I can still post. Its very strange. Up until now, my comments always showed up with an awaiting moderation message below them. Now they simply dissapear into the world wide web void until moderation. I have to say, I find it a titch disconcerting. But, so long as I can post, who cares?
132- that sometimes happens when you change your name.
132 – That’s what has been happening to mine since all of the chaos in March. For a while the moderation message was showing up on the Alter Ego thread, but nowhere else.
WAIT.
If that happens sometimes when you change your name, maybe that’s why it was only working on the Alter Ego thread…
133-Yay, it works again! Its odd, though. Because, I changed my name a ludicrous amount when I first came and I never had a problem with that before. Ah well, no matter now!
134-*gives sympathy choklit* Yeah, mine started working again (*celebrates raucously*) but it was awfully disturbing while it lasted.
Mehhh.
Meh, meh.
Bleh.
People need to explode a lot.
Yeppp.
It’s the only impact large enough to knock some sense into them.
137- Bad day? *sympathy choklit*
Noooooo. Mine launched yet another comment into the void. Let moderation come and rescue it soon. *impatient cricket*
Mayhaps, it will work better, this time.
136 – I’m testing to see if changing my name makes it work. Probably not, but…we’ll see.
137 – I agree. Especially since I’m about to kill all of my characters in my Screnzy off because my script is annoying me. (Not really. They don’t really die, they just look like they do.)
–CAT’S MEOW
ZOMG, IT WORKED.
I may have to keep this name for a while, then, if that’s the only way to make it work.
–CAT’S MEOW
141- I like it. I feel like something POSOC would say to a neophyte named Cat’s Meow.
Mine started working again (*parties raucously*).
137-*sympathy chokilt*
I simply cannot wait to kill my screnzy characters. I am making more characters so I can kill more people off. I feel like such a horrible saidist. I am guessing that moderation is about to end for the night. If it is, toodloo! If not, see you in a short period of time!
Never mind. It isn’t. Which delights me. *frantically writes posts*
I have taken a medicine that removes emotion. It is not fun. I can no longer feel happy, sad, angry, frusterated, or joyful. And it will be like this until tomorrow. Help.
145-That sounds frighteningly scary and intense. *choklit*
It might be, except that IBCF can’t feel those things. I’d say it sounds like a potentially interesting experience, worth observing carefully and possibly writing about.
145- A medicine like that exists? What’s it called?
I had an experience like that once for about five minutes. It was bizarre, and I don’t know what caused it, but I was unable to feel any emotion. Fortunately, it was temporary.
147-Oh gosh, thats true. One can’t feel not being able to feel. Which might make it worse or better depending on how you look at it. And then there’s the question of whether intensity is an emotion or a thought.
If I remember correctly, Huxley did drugs and wrote about them. All for the sake of research.
146- And it would be, if I could have that emotion. But now I feel like I’ve lost my soul.
145 – Ooh, scary. *isn’t sarcastic*
So what would go through your mind if I asked you to marry me right now? (not that I would
)
147- It is not so interesting. It’s terribly boring, actually. I don’t have any desire to do anything. There’s just a void in the middle of my brain.
150- Well, at least you feel something. I hope you feel better soon.
Hm. In that case, I’d probably either listen to music, watch something mindless on TV, or go to sleep.
150-I don’t know how to say this. Its eery to hear it. It must be (*is unable to think of adjective that is not feeling*) to well, feel it.
148- I cannot tell you the name, but it is supposed to help people with ADHD calm down. However, it seems to have the unfortunate side effect of removing emotion.
151- I know that’s funny, but I don’t feel humor. Argh.
153- It should wear off tomorrow.
154- Good idea.
150 – I hope I never feel like that. *shudders* So if I told you right now that I wanted to marry you, what would you think?
Most of the time I don’t think that I have any emotion. Actually, let me clarify. I do feel emotions, but they are like random bursts that last for a very short amount of time. The rest of the time, I’m in a void (very apathetic, bored), or I’m depressed, which is the only emotion that can last for quite a while
Hm. Forgive me if I offend you (but then again, you can’t FEEL offended), but I am actually rather curious. No feeling? I feel confused. How can you have no emotion? *brain implodes*
I know what you mean about the void. I don’t feel it very frequently but once in a while when I don’t have a lot on my mind, I see myself as totally empty, nothing overly dramatic, just sort of empty. Its different from depression. Its more like resignation. Maybe, thats the purpose of emotion. To keep us from apathetically accepting everything. To keep us fighting. Its an odd question, when you think about it. What really is the purpose of emotion?
160 – Ah. The Question. Right up there next to “What is God?” Nobody quite knows.
*brain implodes again*
One consequence of losing emotions is the inability to make decisions.
158- Even being depressed is better than not feeling anything at all, as I’ve found out.
159- I don’t know, I just don’t have any emotions. Argh.
160- Emotion makes life interesting.
162 – *brain is blasted to smithereens*
162-Though, one might also argue that without emotions, one could make more rational and cool-headed decisions.
I think that emotions prevent us from being resigned to everything, and..*trails off* I always seem to hit a blank when I try to go a step farther than that.
Well, with my smoking brain, which is basically now dust, I go to bed in the hope that my dreams aren’t as depressed as I’m feeling right now. G’night, everyone!
166-G’night. I know, my brain just had a memory disk crash. No more thinking for tonight was the doctor’s diagnosis.
(164) Well, how do you decide which shirt to wear? What to eat? How do you know if you’ve done the right thing?
(165) In actual case studies, people who lost their emotions became hopelessly indecisive over the simplest choices.
168-Really. Well, I guess that makes sense. One can’t really reason out anything. But, then again, it seems one could. Maybe, the human race is addicted to emotions and we need to gradually overcome this addiction if we are to function without them.
Wow, my theories are progressively becoming more and more crackpot.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt no emotion. IBEF/IBCF (sorry, I can’t tell which one it is), if someone that you’d trusted and cared a ton about told you they hated you completely you would intellectually recognize it as horrible but not actually cry or get angry? That seems so interesting. It seems like it’d be really weird to experience that and rather uncomfortable.
Wow, hate to double post but this merits a comment. The H&H got more posts than the random thread today. Incredible.
That’s scary! No emotion….*brain imitates Kokonilly’s and implodes*
164, 165, 168- Plus, it’s more interesting to make emotional decisions. Anything besides this void would be interesting.
145- By contrast, Grant, the lowly earthworm, has taken something that heightens emotion. This makes him feel as though everything is 20x funnier and also that he is really, extremely sad. All of the Awesomeness Points or whatever I invented to whoever can guess what I’ve taken.
170- Yes, that would be the case.
174- If I had emotion, I would be insanely jealous. Argh, I don’t even remember what jealousy feels like.
74 – some drug. haha. is it-
crack
pot
dope
crystal meth
inhalents
heroin
caffine
sugar
lack of sleep???
I’m curious to know
174) adrenaline? sugar? bad energy drinks? possibly nothing I get like that on my own lolll
If you don’t have emotions you don’t care either way and/or are apathetic (though that is an emotion 8BBB), and there is no neutral option when there are two decisions hence inability to make decisions. Even compromising between two things is a decision.
AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
I am introducing b-day points. You get one on your birthday. So if you have been on MB for 3 years and you celebrated your birthday twice, you would have 2 b-day points.
Please ask me with any questions you may have. Do not automatically add them to your name – I will mgive them out. You may trade them as birthday presents or other birthday/half birthday gifts
Good morning everyone!
This points thing is confusing….. So, I guess I have 2 points…….. I think I might also have piepoints, but I don’t know…….
178- I’ve do it twice! @ bday point?
176, 177- No.
IBCF- Has yours worn off yet? Mine has.
Oooohhhhhkay, I’m tired of cold and cloudy days after like the fifth one in a row, especially when they’re accompanied by cold rain. I’d like to move past the rainy aspect of spring and on to the sunny bit that doesn’t make you feel like taking some sort of hot lead pill.
Yay! My emotions are back!
*overjoyed to feel joy*
177- Well, then I must have had some emotion. I don’t think the medication took it all away. It just greatly reduced it.
Theres something up with that link. It take me to a finished
auction of six 2007 muses, not an open auction of seven 1999 muses.
(183) Try it now, TMFA.
182 – Yay!
Back to school tomorrow….
I need to go play my HPOOTP game and beat it! It has taken me fooooreeeveeer and you most likely have no idea what I’m talking about.
Its odd. H&H Volume 1, No. 3 doesn’t show up on the recent posts. How dreadfully queer. And how intriguing.
181~ Well then, I guess the best thing to do would be run outside, screaming and curse the very name of January.
182~ Good, not having any emotions sounds completely unpleasant. Every now and then I have a weird feeling (if it can be described that way) when I don’t care about anything. Ugh.
It’s a beautiful spring day and I’m sitting in the house wrapped up in a wool blanket surrounded by mounds of kleenex. Yuck. I feel horrible- allergies, a cold, I don’t know what, but it’s miserable.
142 – Ironically, it is. Except I wasn’t a neophyte, I was just posting on the neophytes thread.
145 – Wow, that sounds horrible.
-gives choklit-
182 – That’s good!
187-I have dreadful allergies too. I have gone through three tissue boxes in two days, which is sad!
156-Oh my. I think that could be the same medication my friend’s brothers took. You really must be careful, because it did a number on them. One lost 15 pounds because the medication made him ignore his body, and its need for food. Basically he didn’t eat for 3 weeks, until the doctor took him off the meds. Are you only taking it this one time?
I don’t think I’ve ever had a lack of emotion, but I’ve had extreme apathy.
187, 189 – I don’t have any allergies. My brother is allergic to something, but we’re not exactly sure what.
189/191~ I don’t know if it’s allergies or not. I rather doubt it though, since I never remember them before. Any which way, it’s pretty miserable. *blows nose* *gives sympathy choklit to Hypatia*
Does anyone mind if I have a hysterical meltdown right now?
*has hysterical meltdown*
That didn’t help. Oh god. Sorry. That was pointless. Let’s see if I can sit still long enough to read the past comments.
RE: not feeling emotion: PLEASE. NOW.
I’ve felt like that before, I think. I must have. Unfortunately, I don’t feel like that right now. I wish I did.
OK, I just forced myself to read the entire thread from where I left and I couldn’t take in any of it. I think I’m going to scream.
I don’t even know what’s wrong with me. It’s not some serious mental disorder or anything like that. I just carried three extremely heavy bags about 14 blocks, with Opal purposely annoying me all the way, then up a hill, then up another hill, then up our staircase. During that ordeal, I decided that Opal no longer existed in my mind, because that is the only way I can tolerate her. And then I come on MuseBlog and I see what has happened at the H&H since I was on here at seven yesterday. I can’t keep up!
I’m the verge of tears, and screaming, and laying on the floor crying until I can’t cry anymore, and then just laying there apathetically for hours.
Dang. And I even had an interesting story to tell. Never mind.
I hate being gloomy on MB. It just feels wrong, and so worried that January’ll repeat itself.
Did anyone notice that a lot of people are disappearing? Or maybe not a lot. Anyway Beavo and RtH haven’t been on much.
193 – Aww.
I know exactly how you feel. -hugs and gives virtual choklit- Don’t worry about feeling gloomy on MuseBlog. January may have been a pretty awful month for everybody, but at the same time everyone was always ready to cheer people up who needed it.
194 – Yes, I’ve noticed that. I haven’t seen either of them in a while.
I’m only allergic to a sort of algae in Lake Erie. When lake water gets up my nose, it’s stuffy and miserable for 2 days, my eyes itch, and I feel rather hot.
Hey, guys! Just got back from visiting a church where the patriarch was preaching. Very nice.
Allergies. We hateses them, don’t we, Precious? Yes, we hateses those allergies. *cackles*
126- okie dokie
127- thanks!
*wipes pie off face*
193- :C
i have meltdowns monthly since the beginning of this school year about various crazies, i think they’re quite cleansing.
whoever started some allery thing– i was allergic to baby oil when i was a baby, but now im not allergic to anything except really bad music and cigarette smoke.
193-Aw *gives choklit*
196-Aw that stinks. Lake Erie is really fun though. Have you ever been to Camp Fitch? I used to go there every summer.
192-*gives bowl of medicinal cherries*
Allergies, the bane of my existence!
Lets see…I still have to write about 5 pages of history. *registers this fact* *spazzes* *dies* *decides to procrastinate*
201- I need to write a Character history! Grr…
HHHHHW (Hypatia hates hideously horrible HW)
Lets see, still 5 pages of history. Then math test. Then English assignment. Then French quiz. Yep, I am basically dead.
200- No, I havenae been there. My grandparents have a small house on the coast in Vermilion.
I should write my Spanish essay rather than put if off until homeroom/lunch tomorrow. I won’t, though. I practiced Spanish today by putting the settings on my favorite video game to the Spanish language. It’s entertaining.
Who likes Lily Allen?
196 ~Ugh, last time we were at Lake Michigan my dad must have swallowed some of the water (we went swimming) and he got really, really sick. Apparently there’s some sort of algae or something that grows in there that makes everyone sick. So, if you go to Lake Michigan, be really wary of the water!
200~ Yes, all the great lakes are beautiful. I remember swimming in Lake Erie and even though the air was cold the water was really warm and nice. It was hard to convince ourselves to get out!
*procrastinating against geometry*
200 – Nope.
I want a popsicle. It is insanely hot here for April.
Ugh, allergies. I am not allergic to much, except cherry tomatoes (? so random!) and I get hayfever.
Ow! My brother grabbed my arm and “accidentally” scratched it quite badly, and now it looks like I cut myself. Which I didn’t.
Oh yay, I finally solved my speaker problem! All I had to do was turn the sound up.
Yep, I’m brilliant.
I’m totally procrastinating on that character history. I’m not even sure if it’s due tomorrow, or what.
206~ Well, it’s quite cold and miserable here today. It isn’t too bad though, as it gives me an excuse for wearing a sweater, wrapping up in blankets and drinking tea and not feeling too wimpy.
Cold and miserable sounds nice right now. Except if it was cold and miserable, I wouldn’t get a popsicle! Which I do!
*runs off to eat popsicle*
So THAT’S what happened! I was accidentally given an anti-depressant instead of an ADHD pill!!!
I have a lot of homework due tomorrow. I think. Well, I know I have something for English, but that’s easy…and I hope I don’t have anything for History. Oh, and I have an English quiz to study for. And probably some WASL stuff for Science.
HHHHHW
I am eating chocolate…from Iceland! At the exact same time that I post. Its good. *spazzes*
210 – Really?
213 – HIMCMVJBSWCT!
HIMCMVJBSWCT = Hypatia is making Cat’s Meow very jealous because she wants chocolate too.
210- Oh…
That’s a frightening thought. Is that what an antidepressant does??? 
Pills scare me…
Isabel, Isabel, didn’t worry
Isabel didn’t scream or scurry
She took those pills from the pill concocter
And Isabel calmly cured the doctor.
—The Adventures of Isabel, by someone…Ogden Nash?
210-Oh my! Thats intense…ly intense.
214-*chortles* Mwhahaha
Icelandic chocolate is extra yum!
*gives Vocalization of a Feline Icelandic choklit*
I don’t have to wake up until 7:00 tomorrow! *excitement*
I’m going to a special meeting at a convention center tomorrow to hear Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama speak! It’s going to be really nice, because it’s only for members of a specific labor union (my dad works as a lawyer for them, so I won’t say the name of the union), so it won’t be as loud as other speeches and rallies, etc.
*more excitement*
HHHHHW vehemently!
Please be so good as to pardon the double post. My brain is presently in a state of mind that might be called “brain dead” due to an excess of homework.
218-That sounds awesome! Post about it when you come back. : ) And have fun!
guess what? on the topic of really bad dreams I had one of the worst nightmares of my life last night. AND IT WAS ABOUT PINK BUNNIES!!!!!! i dreamed they bit my mom and took over her mind and she tried to attack me. did i mention it was the worst dream i ever had????
193
invest in a journal, or anything else to get your thoughts out. If your sister is bothering you to the point where it effects your emotions in a way that you feel is harmful (i mean to say more than just sibling annoyance) then talk to someone about it. A friend, a counselor, heck tell a dog. Just think about what’s bothering you, rant about it somewhere. MB is not a good place to rant because of the way it’s not centered on you, and how different conversations thread through each other. Advice thread might be good? I forgot where it is though.
I don’t mean to sound belittling in this but as more of the musebloggers enter high school, or just teenage years in general this the the way the conversation turns.
218) Oh I’m so jealous, that’s so cool….bring back details, I’m interested in what they will say.
hah, i woke up at 12:30 today
i’m on break,
and my mom was feeling especially kind and didn’t wake me up
222- Yes… That maketh sense. Or Complaints and Rants, if I knew where that was.
(224) I’ve added a link to Don’t Forget These Threads. Or you can click here.

I will do the other months soon. I need to go do my home work now.
Midnight Fiddler (205): Really? I go to Lake Michigan every year for the entire summer, and practically spend the entire summer in the water. I’ve probably drunk gallons of the water, and I’ve never gotten sick. (My family has been going there for generations.)
206- we just got some snow…. and FYI i live in America, not the Arctic Circle. Grant? could you make a “staving off April?”
I just found out that one of my best friends is an anthropogenic global warming denier. Now I’m in shock.
Mybad. I’ve been telling everyone that today is Emma Watson’s birthday, but in fact it’s tomorrow. If by some slim chance Emma Watson ever reads this, I apologize. Boy, is Emma Watson attractive. Not that I fancy her, I’m into this thing I’ve developed called “appreciation without desire.” I developed it last Saturday when I saw my mate’s girlfriend in a bikini. Actually, I’d been using it long before, it’s just that I came up with the phrase then. I should stop talking.
Now, when someone thinks of a mango, adjectives spring to mind like “juicy,” “refreshing,” and “succulent.” Mangoes are lovely firm pieces of fresh juicy fruit, right? So whose idea was dried mango? If you want mango, don’t settle for a dessicated strip of something that could pass as beef jerky if you put enough hot sauce on it.
229- There’s no need to stave off April. My birthday is in April. What we need is a way to stave off irritating cold weather. It’s spring, stop the cold rain and biting wind already.
Today the fire alarm went off in school, and everyone stood around outside for twenty minutes watching the fire trucks come up the drive. It wasn’t a drill, nor did anyone pull it. Apparently it was an “equipment malfunction.” Now, our school is two years old. Brand new in school terms. How do you build something like a fire alarm system so that it screws up in two years? I don’t know about you, but I seriously want something like a fire alarm to work right, especially one accompanied by loud sirens and strobe lights (and apparently the malfunction was such that the strobe lights stayed on for another hour). It’s a bit chilly here today, too, so standing around outside holding a stack of books with no place to sit down is not my cup of tea. Can’t my school do anything right? I want a fire alarm system that works!
229- We did to.
re not feeling emotion: That would be absolutely terrible. I would probably go crazy.
My mom is having problems with her leg, so we’re going to have a very minimal Seder this year. Seder is always a huge event in my household, and it will be weird having a year without a big Seder.
Ugh. I need a bunch more notecards for this stupid history paper. I’m doing mine on who really won the Scopes Trial.
I was on the bus to school today, and I heard an announcement on the radio:
TRY NEW ICELANDIC VITAMINS! GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH.
I started cracking up.
Iceland does seem to be stepping up its exports to the United States. I hear you can get Sirius (Icelandic) chocolate at Whole Foods now. Keep an eye out for Egils Mix!
Hmm… Hare and Hedgepig eclairs? Made with Real Iclandic Chocolate…
233 – What’s a seder? And who DID win the Scopes trial?
237 – Seder is the ceremony at the beginning of Passover. It’s a huge thing (think Thanksgiving). As for the Scopes Trial, although creationists technically won and the American public today sees it as a great victory for evolutionists, neither of them actually won.
238 – Ah. I see. Thanks.
Karin is very disoriented today.
She wants the summer right now, but it is not coming, and the next school year will come far too soon.
Sometimes Karin wishes she were more of a “loner” so she could avoid people more easily.
240 –
Woah. Third person.
Yeah, sorry for not replying to, like, anything.
At all. And never being here now. I’ve just got so much to do! (Like, nothing…)
Anyway, I’m getting an LG Chocolate phone.
242-Oooh cool phone!
I wish people would explode right now. Mostly me, which is odd because usually I want other people to explode, mostly my friends when they do dumb things.
Mahhhh I am having a bad day sooooo….. I must try to be positive.
*fails at positivity*
yay?
233-Join the club! I just finished doing a ton of history notecards from a similair era (New Deal) ! Cool! But very very annoying, hence HHHHHW. *pies*
Did everyone ignore my post because it was too long? There were some pretty good rants in that post.
The Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama forum was FLAMABLAMABLOUS!!! It was called “Presidential Candidates Forum on Manufacturing,” and only members of the unions affiliated with the Alliance for American Manufacturing could go. So, it was relatively small, which allowed me to meet both of them! I shook both of their hands and exchanged a bit of small conversation. Obama wasn’t signing things, but Hillary signed my name tag.
*And,* I got to miss almost all of school! The convention was right next to my school, so I made about 2 hours at the end of the day, but still. It was amazing!
245-Which post? The mango and fire alarm one? I read it but I didn’t really have anything to say.
Soooo….? Apparently a teacher from my school was rushed to the hospital today and died? And he has had cancer for a long time? It seems like half the teachers in the school system have/had cancer.
Cancer should explode.
246-That sounds so cool! And, well, flamambablous. *is jealous*
247- If cancer explodes, everyone who is suffering from it would penecontemperaneously be killed, and cancer would continue to ravage our modern world in a way few other illnesses can. But yes, I also wish illnesses such as cancer and Alzheimer’s should be obliterated in such as a way not to harm their victims. As you may notice, I am feeling very grammatical this evening.
Oops, I meant to say “should be obliterated in such a way as not to harm their victims.” That was a careless oversight, and I have sorrow for it.
Our play is falling apart. It’s gonna bomb.
And, like, everyone knows it but they’re not saying anything.
I’m gonna make a Soap called “Drama Club” about our play. It has all the components of a Soap Opera, except no one got pregnant or kidnapped or started doing drugs. Death, yes. Suicide, yes. Hate, yes. Love, pshya! Angst, yes.
It’s all there, waiting for me to write! *hyperventillate*
I read your post Grant.
231- 2 year old fire alarm system? Jeez, that should work.
Sorry to draw attention to myself, but I’m now running for both president and vice-president of the French National Honor Society at my school. Elections are next month. I’m excited, but pretty confident that I don’t have a chance.
247-Oh. Wow. That is really intense. Diseases like that are just horrible. And I know what you mean about how great their ceasing to exist would be.
Wait, though. Why did Piggy say, “Oops, I meant to say” in reference to Karinnn’s post? *is confuzzled*
Oog. Testing every day ‘cept Friday.
I’ve been debating between whether I want to stay in school or be homeschooled.
I want to be homeschooled again, but chances are if I AM, most of the people I know from school I will never see again.
Oh, sorry for the double post, but this is like five minutes later so it dosn’t count, right?
Subject: Love Song by Sara Bicantspellyourlastname
Is it any good?
Discuss.
I like it, I guess. People are insane about it, and it’s a pretty good song for that matter.
246-Cool! I wish I could have been there.
256- What are some of the lyrics? ‘Cause I think I now what you’re talking about, but I’m not sure.
240- Alice replies that being a loner is not all it’s made out to be, and she will gladly exchange her loner-ness with you, for as long as you need it.
253- Since I am unable to vote for you, I will merely wish you good luck. Good luck!
ARGH NO. So in order to get this house, which we had to get because we were running out of time (if we found a new house within a month, the Red Cross would pay our first month’s rent) my mother was forced to agree to let the landlady do this weird thing where she comes up from California or wherever she lives and stays at our house. And apparently she’s coming soon. I don’t think I’m going to be able to tolerate her, because it may be her house but it’s OUR LIVES, and she’s just going to intrude upon them in a way that is absolutely horrible. So that’s annoying. But there you have it. *sigh*
245 – I read your post. And Emma Watson is my favorite actress.
246 – *is insanely jealous*
256 – Well, I can’t stand it, but I have to say it is better than a lot of pop songs.
259 – That sucks.
256 – I’ve never heard it.
I didn’t forget my lines! But I don’t know my song! And the performance is on Saturday! *dies*
I had Songbird by Fleetwood Mac stuck in my head all day.
What happened to my post? Is it because I made my name way too long and extremely pointless?
A Story Robert would especially enjoy:
So over the weekend, I attended a lecture thing at Fordham College, a nice place, and heard a guy named Dr. Gregory Bard talk about polynomial equations. It was actually really fun and exciting, interesting me in math again after much of my classes have, I believe, been teaching it to me the wrong way. But anyway, besides suggesting a series of books called (Insert Math topic here) The Easy Way, he said that one of the best jobs in the world is being a science writer. I have no recollection of how he started on this subject. Apparently it’s really rare to find someone who can both understand complex scientist-talk, and then explain it to common people in an interesting manner. He said you can also make tons of $$, but I’m not sure if he was joking about that part.
He was joking about that part.
231~ But dried mango is so wonderful!! It’s good, even though it’s not exactly what one could call “succulent.”
256~ Yeah, I watched that one. My friend sent it to me and told me to watch. I think that if i told you it sucked and someone else told you it was awesome we would both be right, because we’d have differing opinions on what kind of music we like, so asking if it’s any good isn’t really a fair question.
That aside, I think it was okay. i don;t remember it all that well, since I was doing about a gazzilion other things on the computer at that time, since I only had a little bit of time, but what I remember was favorable. The movie that accompanied it didn’t make much sense, but that’s okay, since when have music videos ever been very rational?
Uum, not much is going on here. I’m tired and trying to attach an mp3 file that doesn’t want to go on an email. And I’m tired. And tired. Yeah, that’s pretty much it.
Beavo – Love Sing by Sarah Barilles- I love that freaking song – i play it almost every day.
So did anyone even bother with the nice long list of B-Day points i spent 2 hours working on?????? i feel unappreciated
266- I noticed. I read Grant’s post too. I didn’t have anything to say.
but noones actually added the pionts to their name
There’s eggs under the curtain!
268- my birthday is after the ones you listed. And I joined MB when it was the gaboomba in Dec. 2003 or so….
Oh, forgot this before, but:
April 15, 1912
Rest in Peace, RMS Titanic
271- I always see the sinking of the Titanic as a victory of the upper class over the lower class. I don’t know very much about it (I saw the film, XD), but somehow I have a perception that the minority of the rich escaped via the lifeboats whereas the lucky poor that managed to escape the bowels of the ship mostly froze to death in the frigid water. This is probably a terrible misconception.
249-Ah yes. Well it needs to go away, preferably to an otherwise lifeless planet, where it can ravage itself.
Re: Love song by Sara Barielelelelelele…It is good when you are in need of a bubbly/sad song.
Summer: So close yet so far away.
End of summer/ start of next school year: So close, so very, very close.
Hi!
Wow. *sigh* I couldn’t possibly read all of these posts, so I’m jsut gonna post and not read anything but the top 10. Yes, I know I’m lazy…….
265) Mango is good……
MANGOES ARE THE BEST FRUIT IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DRIED MANGOES ARE AWESOME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*hyperventilates*
272- Actually, that’s fundementally correct. Most survivors were from First or Second Class.
I am rather depressed right now. I was reading Night today in school.
271 – Ah. Yes. Rest in peace.
272- Um, actually, that’s not a misconception at all.
277- Hmm, a lot of kids in our English class read Night. I read Farewell to Manzanar. Unfortunately, loyalty oaths aren’t as interesting to research as the Holocaust.
277- Oh, I remember reading that in 8th grade. It is, without a doubt, the most depressing book I’ve ever read.
279) Hey, I read that in the 7th grade. It was an OK book.
Well. I feel bad. My dad was really excited about me reading this one series with him and I tried to read the first book. Well….. I tried. I really did. In fact, I’ve been reading it for the past few weeks but…….. It was so….. so…… boring! It was supposed to be a sea adventure book but the first half of it ended up being about the captain being new at being captain and inviting his friend the doctor to come on the ship with him. After that, they mostly just talked about ship mechanisms and sipped tea……… I mean, that all well and good, but for half a novel? And it was thick too. And it had small print.
275-You tell ’em, sister.
I have, like, the most awesomest part in Aladdin. At the end, when Jafar gets sucked in the lamp, I’m like YESS I’M FREE! and I get to run around the stage and scream yess and then run off stage and scream yess some more, and then interrupt everybody for the rest of the play with random yess’s in random tones of voice.
Go listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks “Witch Doctor”.
Anybody (besides Alice) read (the second part of) post 253? I’m pretty psyched right now.
As for Night, it’s even more depressing if you know you had distant relatives who were in the concentration camps. (I’m Jewish.)
282 – Yay for awesome parts in plays!
281- It’s Master and Commander, isn’t it? Or something similar by Patrick O’Brian. I never tried very hard with those, although I did love the movie.
282- Sounds fun.
I have an OK part in The Future is in Eggs. Actually I really like my part, except for a couple bits, but I wouldn’t call it the “awesomest part.”
281- Are you talking about the Aubrey-Maturin series?
253-Oh! Good luck. *pies*
Wow. There are a lot of posts to respond to. Well, I’ll try my best, I guess.
218 – Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both came to our town in March (or something like that) and my mom pulled my brother and I out of school early so we could try and go see them. We stood in line for an hour, and then they told us we woudn’t be able to get in.
227 – Yay, 2 B-Day points!
229 – I was playing soccer after lunch at school today and it started snowing. It was just small flakes, but it was coming down pretty hard.
230 – Ouch.
231 – Ooh, that stinks. My school hasn’t had school bells for a really long time, and they just put one in, really recently. And it sounds like a fire alarm.
241 – Third person rocks.
246 – Wow, way cool!
247 – My dad had some kind of cancer (skin, I think?) near his eye. He had surgery, though, and they got it out all right. Sorry about your teacher.
253 – Cool! Good luck!
263 – Polynomials stink. But that sounds fun.
Whew. That was a lot of posts.
Oh, I almost forgot! Re:Fire alarms. This seemed to be emergency drill day at my school today. First, there were bus evacuations in the morning. Then, after first period, during the time that we were changing classes, there was a fire drill. :/
Another thing (double post?): Is anybody participating in the Day of Silence next Friday?
266~ Okay, I’ll take a B-day point, I had a birthday here last year. It’s coming up again in May, so I’ll get a second then. As you can see, I’ve added the first to my name.
I tried playing through all the songs ing the Beggar’s Opera today, and they are in TERRIBLE keys. A gazillion flats all over the place, weird arrangements and endings and accidentals, etc. Eew, the whole thing is just a mess. And I’ll probably end up playing all the music, because mom can;t get through it all, and I’m not sure if the other guy that plays music will or not, or if we”l be ending up changing through the scenes. I rather hope so, because then I might be able to act in the play a little bit, and I’d like that. I’ve always anted to act, but the lack of anyone to do it with has always been a problem.
\Now the only problem is that we need a good-looking guy around my age (or maybe a year or two older) who can sing and play MacHeath…….yesssss.
290-I almost succeeded last year. Almost. I think I will probably try again.
291-Is this the German version of the Beggar’s Opera? I love that one (I ranted about it for maybe half a page on the Muse Academy blog). I know there’s another version but I am not really familiar with it. The music is crazy in the German one. Sure you can do it though. Sounds really fun. I have been pestering my theater teacher to do that one nonstop for a couple of years but he won’t listen (a little too much illicit content I guess, at least in the German one).
290- What’s the Day of Silence?
290-The gay/bi/Q/million other things day?
Probably not because there was an anti-abortion one a few months ago, so it seems like copying, and I would also be frowned upon for “letting my life be run by a myspace page” even though I don’t actually have a myspace.
At my school the kind of people who do those things are what I call top 8ers because they are so obsessed with myspace that they get upset if they aren’t in their friends top 8 or however many.
I swear my sister thinks she is everyone’s mom or something. A few minutes ago my mom and I went into her room to look at the baby gerbils and my mom told her that we were just going to see if their eyes were open really fast, and she was like “You better stop going in my room because it’s really annoying” And then my mom told her that it was just for a few seconds and she ran upstairs yelling “Did you listen to a word I just said?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!????????????” in a really angry mother-you-want-to-hit voice. Now she is yelling at me to turn the tv off because I turned it on and she doesn’t want it on. I told her that if she doesn’t want it on to turn it off or go somewhere else, so she said that I’m not allowed to look at her gerbils or go near her room or anything ever again. I was going to turn it off if she waited 5 minutes without telling me, because when people bug me to do stuff I just wait until they are quiet for 5 minutes, but I guess she feels too much like being a 2 year old pretending to be my mom today.
My sister is in 7th grade. She still has yelling tantrums and just stopped having kicking-screaming and being-carried-to-her-room-by-my-parents tantrums last year. I know I’m just as spoiled as her, but when I don’t get my way I know I can’t change it. She always gets her way by having a tantrum. I mean she’s a teenager! She should be able to control herself.
Actually, most teenagers can’t control themselves.
*goes to rant thread*….Oh wait…. I already did that.
Good night, all.
If it is a good night.
Which I doubt.
*hugs Eeyore* Don’t be sad! We luv you!
293- Day of Silence: You don’t speak for the entire day. It symbolizes the silence that many gay/bi/transgendered/etc. people go through every day. It’s an annual and national thing. The Gay-Straight Alliance at my school is running it for my school.
292~ No. The German one is the Tenpenny Opera and was based on the Beggar’s Opera written by John Gay in the 1720s. We watched the German one and yes, the music is bizarre.
Oh well.
Some of our living history friends have decided to put it on at a local event at the end of this month. It should be lot’s of fun, even though some of the songs are evil and some of those guys never keep a song in the same key….I tried playing accompaniment for their singing one time and when they decided to modulate down because the notes got a bit high it all totally fell apart.
295~ Goodnight.
296~ I’ll probably forget, and even if I didn’t I’m not sure if I could actually not talk for a whole day. I’d get all nervous and start writing, probably. I like to talk…..all the time.
Teehee. I used penultimate in my history essay, the first draft of which I FINISHED. Time to go add citations!!!! *is significantly cheerier than in previous posts* *resolves to avoid complaints thread for an entire day (if at all possible)*
Wowowwww my last post was long. And I just remembered why I got on the blog in the first place.
Tomorrow I am going to the E.F. If you are going too, you had to read the 7 books, and it is in NE Ohio. If anyone here knows what I’m talking about, I’ll be there tomorrow (Wednesday) and I’ll have a purse that is grey with HPB and Mostly Harmless buttons on it.
And GAPAs don’t worry, it’s only for middle school-high school, and its on a college campus, and hundreds or thousands or other large number of people participate in it. So please don’t zap!
296- Huh. I may or may not be able to do that under normal circumstances, depending on if anyone tried to start a conversation with me, and I certainly can’t do it on the Ashland trip. Shame.
Wait, that first word in my last post seemed pretty rude. I meant it as a sort of equivalent to “hmm” but it came out wrong.
I heard the German one as the Threepenny Opera or the Beggar’s Opera.
even (or especially?) if the music is crazy now.
That sounds like so much fun,
303~ Mostly just weird keys….a bazillion flats, which is hard to play on the violin. And then I’m looking forward to the folks singing it to probably now follow me at all, so yeah, it’s going to get a bit crazy probably. I’m sure it’ll be a hoot though, and it’s just for the fun it anyway.
300- What’s the EF?
Everyone I have something to post that is very important to anyone who is concerned with the well being of animals.
You may have heard this going around the internet, but I’m gonna paste it anyway.
“Last August at a Costa Rican art reception, one exhibition roused more attention than expected. In one corner of the salon-turned-gallery, an emaciated dog was tied to a wall. Its involuntary mission was to be on display as an artistic message, and was accompanied by a statement on the wall created with dog food reading “You are what you read.”
The guilty artist, Guillermo “Habacuc” Vargas, had paid two children to capture the dog from the street to use for the exhibit. Already in poor condition, the dog was refused any care by Vargas’ orders, and within a day of being on display it passed away”
This is total cruelty and hypocrisy. This is not art, this is taking an already sick animal and passing it off as some kind of moral message. I’m made sick by it, and the pictures I’ve seen while looking for more information make me indescribably sad…The fact that another gallery wants this repeated is just baffling.
Please, please everyone spread the word if you can. There is a petition going around, but you know how effective online petitions are…
Snopes.com lists the status of the incident with the dog as “undetermined,” but apparently there are no plans to repeat it in another gallery. There’s more information, including a letter from the World Society for the Protection of Animals, at
www .snopes. com/critters/crusader/vargas.asp
This is really sad:
6 students and 1 teacher from Aukland drowned on a school camp, when they were kayaking and there was a flash flood. 5 other students and another teacher were also there, but they were rescued. Scary, it makes me not want to go on our school camp next term…
Wow, Axa, how do find these things?
282 – I thankee. Yay!
Hey, what’s everybody doing for Earth Day?
See, I can’t post often because of homework, which makes me sad, because next year in high school it will get even worse…..
300- I’ve been asking all of my friends all day what the devil EF is, and nobody knows. What is this madness?
It struck me recently that I see a lot of good-looking, nice, intelligent girls dating complete jerks.
uh oh -gasping for air- i didn’t know those were KOKOPELIS pies…!
PLEASE READ THIS-does anyone here NOT have muse magazines? cuz if you don’t GET SOME!
Oh gosh! My computer hasn’t been letting me onto Museblog for the past hour or so. It was terrible. Now I now just how addicted I am.
*breaths deeply*
*explodes*
*cleans up scattered bits of self*
*tries to breath deeply*
*explodes yet again*
*vacuums*
*goes off to H&H for restorative tea*
315 – If we weren’t Musers, we wouldn’t be here now would we?
316 – Me neither. Except I only had to wait about 10 minutes.\
What a long and hard 10 minutes.
316- Ah, yes, Miss Hypatia, the page was taking quite a long time to load. It’s not just you.
311 – Well, Earth Day is my sister’s birthday, so probably not much of my own.
Earth Day? *groans* I’m in a global warming club at school, except we never get anything done. It’s frustrating.
*feels less alone in her predicament*
322 – What predicament?
I hopped a fence with my environmental club today near the school to get into a swamp thing where we proceeded to pull out what seemed like hundreds of beer bottles. It’s part of a swell towards Earth Day, beginning with presentations on global warming, and including things like Fair Trade (my expertise).
315- Are you new here Motad? Check out the neophyte thread.
323-Not having been able to get onto Museblog.
I forgot that Earth Day exists.
I’m not doing anything.. When is that? *checks calendar* 22nd. So that’s the day the Goldfinger CD comes out! So I’ll probably listen to some of that.
I do think that we should do something to help slow global warming, but we’re not going to get anything done fast.
I’ve been more lurking than posting these days. Apologies.
309) I am many places on the internet
I’ve seen pictures of the dog at least. Regardless of whether it died or not (though that is certainly a huge part of this….) it was still neglected and that is not something I can get over.
It’s good to know they aren’t going to repeat it then.
For Earth Day, I’m helping out at a wildlife center near where I live, pulling up invasive species plants like purple loosestrife. ^_^ I enjoy Earth Day.
325 – Ah. I had that dilemma too.
Earth Day. That should be fun.
For people who were asking: EF is the English Festival, which I didn’t want to get zapped and am most likely not going to anymore. It was at YSU.
Hmm…Earth Day is a Tuesday, so I’ll probably do nothing unless there is something to be done in school. Tuesdays are super busy for me.
Earth Day? Sounds like fun! Ahem. Not.
No one I know ever does anything for Earth Day except me and my family.
We saw a Civil War presentation today. It was really quite disgusting, especially when they listed off an excessively long list of how many people could be killed by each kind of weapon. And when they pretended to amputate this kid’s arm. *is horrified*
And we drew dead sharks today. The smell infested the ENTIRE 100 wing. Which is where I generally eat lunch.
Is it just me, or has the curtain risen higher? *gulp* *dives behind bed*
my, i haven’t posted here in a while.
i have gained a lot more confidence in my acting skills in the last couple of days! i never actually thought i was that good until i found myself competing with a senior (who is also my english intern, and gave an outstanding performance in another school play recently) for a part in a school play. the directors even took me aside and told me i was amazing and i should audition for everything i can, but i probably won’t get the part because i’m young and there’s a love interest. the senior i was competing with also told me that the directors (whom she is familiar with, for they are seniors as well) told her that they were ‘blown away’ by my monologue yesterday.
but i feel really sorry for my friend, because she didn’t get called back, and she thinks she did terribly. i saw her perform her monologue and she was really good, but she won’t believe me.
Congratulations! I will never get told that I “blew away” the audition people.
I’m sorry for your friend too.
I really don’t like the heroine in The Princess Bride.
334- But Wesley, Fezzik, and freaking Inigo Montoya make up for it, baby! Inigo is the best. Character. In that movie.
RE: Earth Day
My community always does a big cleanup along the river, and my school always takes about 30 kids to it. I have soccer games this Saturday, so I can’t go to that part of it, but I’ll probably go to the part on Sunday.
Earth Day?
Ew.
People already “know” about so-called Global Warming or Climate Change, having an Earth Day is just an excuse to feel better about yourself because you turn off the lights more frequently.
335 – Inigo Montoya is THE AWESOMEST. His fight scene on the cliff is the only part of the movie I actually like very much.
What’s behind the curtain? More eggs? Or something sitting protectively on top of them?
337) Well some people do actually do good environmental things on that day. Just because global warming awareness has kind of become the hip new thang (I am so tired of these green iz gud shirts I see everywhere), that doesn’t mean there’s no good in it.
I’m defintely going to do something.
Little known fact: Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970, having been inspired by the photographs of our small and fragile planet taken by Apollo astronauts from the moon.
Princess Bride! w00t!
“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
316- Join the club. (Wow, it’s been a while since I said that.)
333- That’s really cool, Tumsy. I’ve been told I’m good, but there are so many people who are TONS better than me, and I’m having a lot of trouble because my character has to cry a lot, and also there’s a lot of physical contact, ’cause I hug my son, and cry on my son’s shoulder, and hug my daughter-in-law’s mother, and it’s awkward. I’m just glad I’m not Roberta, who has to be “lovey-dovey.”
Oh, and tell your friend that a call back doesn’t mean anything.
Pues, mis amigos, debo ir a la escuala, para ir/voy* en un/a field trip. Have a lovely time.
*I don’t remember which.
Oxlin: Do whatever you like with our alliance at the H&H, I’ll try to get on if I can.
Adios.
remember the bunnies!!!
334- True that. all she does is stand around, crying, screaming and fainting. Wesly is hot. thats all that needs to be said.
I had the bunny dream again last night. *shudders*
343- It’s “para ir,” because when using para in its “in order to” capacity, you use the infinitive of words.
AP Chemistry review book == major fail. I remember how to do none of it. I am going to die. I do not want to do it. I can’t figure any of it out. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
342) Ha ha!
I love that quote!
Well, hello everyone. Don’t we need a new thread of this?
YES!!!! ECTASY!!!! I GOT INTO P***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, that’s the school most of my friends are going to. I’m actually zoned to go to U***. But, TRANSFERS CAME THROUGH!!!!!! W00T!!!!
Hello.
I like polar bears. Especially the one in Germany called Knut.
That is all.
348 – Most likely. This thread is really full.
Curtain is rising….what’s in the eggs?
From kindergarden to second grade, I was the smartest in the class, when it came to English. I knew spelling, vocabulary, rhymes.
On the first day of third grade, when I met you, you said to the teacher when she asked for our feelings about entering intermediate school that you were a combination of nervous and excited. I raised my hand next and said that I was anxious, because that’s a combination of nervous and excited. You raised your hand and said yeah, that’s what you were. Anxious. I couldn’t decide what to think about you.
In fourth grade a fifth grade girl came and asked you about what one of the words in our poem meant. She asked you.
352- …I don’t get it.
I got the phone! It’s awesome.
I also got 25 push-ups in gym. Not so great.
But anyway…
I’m not on here a lot anymore, am I? This is the first post I’ve posted today, and the last…
Goodnight everyone. I’m tired. I don;t have anything to say. I like cookies. Yeah, I’m pretty unintelligent right now, I’ll just go take a shower and then sleep.
354~ That’s cool, about the phone. I don’t have a cell phone, then again, even if I did I never call anyone. Oh well. bummer about the push-ups, push-ups stink.
Karinnn Tayyy (350):
I know what you mean about polar bears. I’ve caught “Eisbaer fever” as well. First I was overwhelmed with Knut’s cuteness. Then Flocke’s and now Wilbaer’s. I’m going to be in Germany in the fall near Wilbaer’s zoo (the Wilhelmina Zoo in Stuttgart) and plan to visit him. Meanwhile, apparently Knut is really lonely at his zoo in Berlin. Not as many people visit him these days and his old human pals like Herr Dorflein aren’t allowed to romp around with him anymore because Knut’s grown so big and strong he could hurt them. Oh, Knut! Seriously, after reading that, I felt like I should move to Berlin and visit Knut every day. Though that’s crazy, I know.
YAY!!!! I fly home in 13 hours!!!!! OMG!!! so exciting!!!! But scary too – I am flying from NZ to Newark airport BY MYSELF. I have a 13 hour layover in San Fransisco too. What am i supossed to do by myself for 3 hours in an airport that has $#!T/ NO shopping. arrg
I got a copy of out stage challenge soundtrack – I did all the voice overs and the scream in the middle. I am sending it to the GAPAs to see if they can post it.
Last day before Spring Break! Yay!
358 – My spring break was over a month ago!
358) Wow, I’m with Kokonilly. My spring break was a month ago.
Weird…….
WE WON!
WE WON ECYBERMISSION!!!!!!!!!!

337- Actually, a study conducted by some of my friends at my school found several depressingly inaccurate ideas about global warming in sample populations form both students and teachers. 97% of teachers thought CO2 was the only greenhouse gas. And ideas about what ozone does? Don’t get me started.
Earth Day is a celebration of the Earth, animals, and the wonder of nature. If you can get cynical about that, you need to re-examine what you hold dear to you.
But Earth Day is also an annual call for sanity, in a culture obsessed with taking-not giving, and saying-not doing.
P.S. The “starving” dog was a stunt by the artist. Why didn’t you get so outraged when the dog was out starving on the street?
P.P.S. Hey Gapas! What do you think of my plan-thing? The timeline? I’d love to hear back.
(361) Congratulations, VoF! I think that deserves a pie.
(362) No, just translucent.
Oh my gosh, did anyone else feel the earthquake? I woke up at about 4:30 and tried to go back to sleep, when my bad started shaking back and forth like someone was shaking it, which totally freaked me out. But I just told myself it was my dog scratching behind her ear or something, because I was really tired, and the next day my mom asked me if I felt the earthquake, and it was all over the news! I live in the St. Louis area, and they said it was a 5.2! Crazy!!! Well I would love to stay but I gotta go!!
365~Wow, no. I’m in MD though, so that would explain it.
I’m going to
[Sorry to snip, Midnight F., but I felt I must
— Rosanne]
today and staying over the weekend for a thing with my church. So, if there are any MBers who see a short girl with brown hair and a Muse Academy t-shirt and don’t talk to me I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU. Well, I probably would, but don’t push it.
Now I have to go and get my stuff packed…
361 – Congrats!
365 – I didn’t feel it, but some of my classmates did. And I live in the Chicago area, which is about a not earthquake prone as possible.
364 – You can still call me Cat’s Meow/Meow. I’m actually changing my name back, because it’s just a little confusing.
Okay, here are details about the eCyberMission competition.
-We won FIRST PLACE out of 19 states in the Northwest Region. (For 7th grade)
-Something like 2000 teams across the country entered, and we’re one of the top 4
-Each of the 3 people on my team gets $3000 dollars AND an all-expenses paid trip to WASHINGTON D.C. for the NATIONAL COMPETITION.
-An 8th grade team from my school ALSO one first place
–5 teams from my school got either a first place award, second place award, or criteria award
-Out of the four grades, my school won first place in two of them. (In the Northwest region, of course)
-Just for going to D.C., we automatically get $3,500 more, and if we win the national competition that additional money is $5000 more.
Needless to say, I’M FREAKING OUT.
For that matter, my entire school is for freaking out.
Oh, and, on another note, since I’m going to be in D.C. for a week at the end of June, will anybody be around there for a Kokon?
337- Waaaay wrong Earth Day. You’re thinking of the Earth Hour that was awhile ago. Earth Day has been around for a long time, it’s a celebration of nature, Mother Earth, the environment, ect.
For Earth day we usually go out along our street and pick up all the garbage thats along the road, and use the kayaks to clean up the lake a bit too.
I am 4492 days old today!
*Wanders in* Hi folks!
194-Why thank you for thinking of me!
I know I’ve been away for quite a while now. The main reason was I have been very busy, and I didn’t have a lot of free time to post. I knew I’d want to say more than “HI BYE!!!” and leave so I waited until I had a better opportunity to come on
I’m going to try to go to a few threads…
I peeked in a couple of times while I was away, though. Great pictures, Lady b., I must say!
Also, who is Karinnn Tayyy? And has anything particularly exciting/tragic happened while I was away?
Red-tailed HAWK
(371) Thanks, RtH. A pleasure to see you.
Karinnn Tayyy is the present name of Unintended Pun.
Ahhhh Grant is playing American football with the mates tomorrow
:D.
371- Hello, Rt-H! The Zemtee thread is dead, and the seahawk is also.
372 – Oh, really?
372-Why, it’s a pleasure to see you too, Lady B.! *Tips hat* *Trys to fluff flattened feathers from beneath hat* *Realizes he just happened upon an awesome alliteration* Suddenly starts stringing amazing alliterations together* Ack, how’d that happen? I can barely think of anything when I want to post alliteration
Anyway, yes, great pictures! 
TMFA-I’ll see if I can do something about that…
Tay isn’t UP’s last name, is it?
Red-tailed HAWK
(376) Don’t worry, “Tay” is part of her middle name.
377-Oh, alright… Just wanted to be sure…
Are you often moderating this late, Lady B.?
Red-tailed HAWK
378 – LATE? It’s 6:40!
Nice to see you, Meow!
Heehee, that’s funny. It’s almost 10:00 over here. I suppose you have just finished dinner, and I’m already saying it’s late
Red-tailed HAWK
Hello Moderator of this post? Have you seen the Timeline?
Is anyone here doing Poetry Out Loud? It’s an event where one memorizes a poem form a collection found online, and recites it to an audience. You can then be scored on the reading. I’m entering.
It’s nine something. CDT
(381) Yes, it’s still under discussion. Thanks for sending it, though; it looks really nice.
380- Actually, I haven’t even eaten dinner yet.
-is a little put out by the lack of response to 368-
It’s 9:48 right now. I’m in MN.
Meow-Well, have a nice dinner! *Is totally weirded out by great time difference*
And CONGRATULATIONS!!! I might make it to a kokonvention then. Let’s work on this. Summer is better for me anyway, and if you’re coming all the way to DC it would make sense to at least try to make it work. Will you have time for a kokonvention?
I might be signing off for the night folks. Yes, it’s 11:00 here now. It’s been great talking with you all, and I hope to be back soon!
Good night.
Red-tailed HAWK
386 – I’m not totally sure. We’re only going to be there for 5 days, not a week as I thought, and I’m not sure if we’ll get a day off for general sightseeing or if they’ll keep us busy the entire time. I’ll let you know as I find more out, okay?
RtH-Yeah I used to be Unintended Pun, and my middle name is Taylor.
My phone is dumb. It won’t actually send texts but it will bill me when I try. Hopefully my mom can get it figured out with the company.
I like bagels. Especially the blueberry ones.
388-That is weird…about the phone I mean. My phone was just stolen, and someone put 200 dollars on it, they spent that much in 4 days!!! So I dunno who it was, but it was stolen from a place where I trust everyone….so if we ever figure out who it was it shall be very interesting.
363) I am disgusted by the idea that somehow letting a dog die like that does more and gives more of a message than actually helping out stray dogs. Its the fact that he takes an unwilling subject, a dog that was already sick, and ties it up and calls it art that bothers me. Yes I admit it does get people to think about stray animals more, but it’s still sick to me.
There are better ways to raise awareness.
368) Congratulations! That sounds so awesome!
I would have snuck a sandwhich into the gallery and fed it to the dog. And if the artist yelled at me, I’d just leave.
Hey, some of the eggs in the picture are blue. That’s odd.
THE CURTAIN ROSE HIGHER.
*dies*
309 – Thanks.
YES! I filled in for my friend last night at the first musical performance (which was sad because she missed it) but I remembered my lines, and I remembered my song, and everyone did really good, and it was so awesome! *is ridiculously happy*
If she’s not better, I have a performance at two. And then my originally scheduled performance at seven. Tickets are five dollars, if you want to see it!
my phone thinks its phone number is one digit different than the number that will actually make it ring.
368- whoa that is awesome. congratulations!
395 – That’s strange. (About the phone, I mean) And thanks!
Is it just me, or has moderation been really slow for the past few days?
365- Yeah, that was the subject of our science class yesterday. My dad & bro felt it but I didn’t. Cool, though! I live in Chicago.
(383) Thanks Rebecca!
Where was the earthquake? Midwest? I’ll ask my grandparents if they felt it, I live on the East Coast though.
The dog was untied and fed between shows, according to the gallery. The artist hopes to stir up more news by saying that he killed the dog. I don’t think that it was nice to do to the dog, but hopefully it will change something in the way people are reminded of the strays. Do the ends justify the means? Art isn’t easy to define either, even if it was in a gallery.
has anyone else heard of Tegan and Sara? they are musicians. I like the songs ‘Where Does the Good Go?’ and ‘Speak Slow’ especially.
I did not feel the earthquake. I’m in MN.
Congrats Cat’s Meow!! That is so cool.
Wow, earthquake…
The curtain is scary. I feel disjointed. *bangs head against wall in hope to revive self*
399, 401, 402- Earthquake? What? Where? *clueless*
The play is finally coming together! FINALLY!
But it’s still gonna bomb. We have less than a week left. Urgh.
Yeah, I’m pretty tired right now.
I forget who said that, but someone was flying UM (Unnacompanied Minor). Good luck! The flights are great, and you can watch as much TV/eat as much junk food as you WANT!
399,403- Ya there was a 5.2 level earthquake at 4:37 am a couple miles north of st.caremel illinois (no idea where that is) but we felt it near st. louis, they felt it in atlanta, milwalkee….etc. I forget which fault it is, but it was definately recognizable as an earthquake. I was actually half asleep so it didnt occur to me, but it was actually pretty cool to realize what it was. There was also some aftershock yesterday at like 10:15, and scientists say we may feel aftershock for a couple of weeks to months. They dont know if it is the signal for a really big earthquake (the whole thing about getting an earthquake in 2012 because there was a devistating one in 1812) or if it will just die down. How cool is that? I mean, not if its devistating, but if its just a bit of aftershock it will be cool.
AAAAAAAAAA, THREE ROWS OF EGGS! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Has anyone ever thought that the Mostly Harmless idea of turning everyone into a Muser might not be such a good idea?, because if being a Muser was the norm then MuseBlog would be completely crowded all day and night and it wouldn’t be so unique to be part of the MUSE culture! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
399) well look, I don’t want to argue this. I’m just saying doing something like that because the dog was a living being who was mostly likely unwilling. it is unethical in my book. I have nothing else to say.
what do mbers think of short hair? I want to cut my hair soon-ish and donate it to locks of love (my third time doing so) and I think I want my hair to be ear-length ish. I want it to look long-ish though. hmm. I think that’s the shortest it’ll ever be.
do you guys have long hair? short hair? in between hair? Mine is currently about five inches past my shoulders if it is hanging down.
408- Just got mine cut. I like to keep it at about half an inch. Otherwise it gets curly and hard to comb.
408 – My hair is currently 3-4 inches past my shoulders. I generally like medium to long hair better, but I like short hair as well.
408-I have shoulder length hair and I look like a boy if it’s any shorter and I’m not wearing makeup. Basically the reason I keep long hair is so I don’t need makeup to show my gender.
We got Juno on dvd today and I’m going to watch it later. Woo!
I was asleep at the time of the earthquake. I can’t believe I missed it!
408: short hair is good. it stays out of your face. my hair is too long;it’s past my shoulders and halfway down my back.
AND GUESS WHAT EVERYONE?!!!! We just took second place at a track meet!! w00t!!! There were sixteen other teams and it took all day and we beat a team we’ve never ever ever beaten and every single team there was really good! *gasps for air* And we got second! We never even expected that we’d ever do that good!
408 – Mine’s down to my ears. I like it, it suits me, but I do look sort of like a guy.
408) It’s slightly past my shoulders.
412) Awesome!
You must be really good at running! (I personally stink, and also at all other tracky excersises such as shot put *shudder* and jumping height *embarrassed at pitiful attempts*)
Oh no, not hair again… *cringes*
OK, whatever you personally want to do with your hair is your choice. Length and such is really your choice.
What I do want to say is, I know you all are trying your best to help people, and I appreciate and respect that, but try to think about “Locks of Love” for a minute:
When you have most girls–and some BOYS, yes, I’ve seen it–donating their hair to locks of love, you’re going to run into a problem: Too MUCH hair. Seriously, are there hundreds of millions of children who need this hair? I’m sure there are many, but not as many as there are people donating. And it makes me nervous to see so much hair being donated. What happens to the doubtless extra tons of spare hair? I’m not here to conduct an investigation or anything, but something fishy must be going on. Even if they’re just throwing the stuff out, it is really a shame that this “Fad” essentially of chopping your hair off and donating it has come about.
I guess that about sums it up. Again, I know you’re trying to do good, but I want you to maybe see how all of this hair cannot possibly be all used. *Hopes people understand and aren’t upset, as he is trying to be nice and helpful*

Apparently we’re talking about hair… and track…
408)- my hair comes down to around the base of my neck- much longer than my school allows (for guys) but i might shave my head for the heck of it. anway, my sister just donated her hair, so i think its a good idea.
412)- Great! My school got 1st in ours! we haven’t lost a championship in any sport since… oh wait we just lost the volleyball championship. oh well.
I watched Juno and it’s one of the best movies ever which is weird because I don’t like movies most of the time.
I actually watched the whole thing without getting up and to top that my mom was in the room.
I usually feel really awkward watching tv or movies if my mom is there.
415- not all hair does go to wigs. Some of it is sold to offset production costs. Besides, I’ll be cutting my hair even if locks of love didn’t exist. I like growing it out and then chopping it all off.
okay. if your hair is to your ears how is it styled? I don’t really want it to be really, really short so I was thinking long-ish layers. but this is probably a boring thing to be talking about.
I like Britten though I know very little about classical music. Recently I heard Britten’s Serenade for Teno, Horn and Strings, Op. 31 and liked it.
408-My hair is longer than my hand.
I’m extremely confused right now. Clarissa (have I talked about her? probably. she’s my ACTUAL best friend even though its not official, and we’re eachother’s outlets) told me that she likes me. I was in a dispute for a while whether I liked her, and now I have to bring it up again…
It’s awkward, anyhow. I would hate for us to break up and wreck what we’ve already got as friends. She’s like, the only one I can be me around. Other than you guys, of course.
In the picture, are those even eggs?
Can we get onto the last lap?
421 – Yeah, this page is taking a while to load on my computer.
Oh god.
I’m sick. Sore throat, fever, lethargy, the works.
I CAN’T BE SICK. Not this week. I have major play rehearsal, Science Olympiad cramming sessions, and Erin Hunter on Wednesday from 7 til 9! I can’t be sick!
