In the second installment of this month’s random thread, we keep laying on the ice. Cool enough for you?
Continued from Part One.
(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.
Whoopee! A new thread!
I absolutely adore the new picture.
I like that picture. Ice sculptures are definitely cool (in multiple ways). Actually the temperatures not so bad here.
First post?
Wow, that picture is amazing!
Schweet sculpture. Feather in ice is awesome.
GAPAS, I’ve come up with some storyboards for that music video I was talking about on the last thread. Should I send them in?
I love the picture!
The temperature has cooled down thankfully, but it’s going to get hotter. We’ve had a lot of nice days, a slight breeze, not too hot, but before that it was like “How could someone survive here?”.
*Sets background.*
Ooh, the picture is spectacular!! I can’t quite tell if it’s real or photoshopped. I’m assuming the latter, but…
It hasn’t really been all that hot around here. There were a few weeks back in July, but other than that, it’s doesn’t even quite feel like summer. Heh.
Neat picture!!
Everyone should read The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It’s amazing!
But it’s PG-13 so watch out if you’re younger.
cool pic!!!
Yeah! Maybe you could post a demonstration of the making on the Morphing Chameleon, Lady Bunniful?
Speaking of cool, I went swimming in the river yesterday, however, the water was frigid.
heh, I think I know the technique here, though it’s done much better than I could do.
Only a few more weeks of summer…best be getting on that homework. oh joy…
Ack! You reminded me of my homework! Ahhh! I don’t know were I put it! Ah man… Now I have to go through all my papers…
New thread, yay! Love the picture! I probably won’t be able to keep up with the random thread for long, but I’m going to try.
It’s getting cooler here, but it won’t really be nice outside until the hordes of mosquitoes die off.
I got my hair layered today, quite by accident. It’s quite itchy. This is sign 223 of bunny takeover: making us all go insane with itchy hair. Curse you fashionista bunnies! You’ve influenced them all!
Meanwhile, I don’t know where the heck Leafygreen is.
I’m right here!
In the real world Leafy, not here!
Oh.
I LOVE the pic!!!!!!!!!
Lady B, how did you make it?
I’m ♫♪back♪♫!
We’re going to Niagara Falls tomorrow! We’re leaving at 6:00 AM, and its’ a 7-8 hour drive. Whoopee. I’ll have things to do in the car though, thankfully.
I may or may not be visiting MB. I really can’t tell, as of right now.
I ♥ the picture.
Yes, Lady B., it’s cool enough for me! Lovely picture, as always!
On the topic of coolness and ice, I went ice skating last night. Previously, I didn’t know how to do anything but go forward, but my friend taught me how to go backwards, as well as how to do this thing which resembles an arabesque. The bad part was that I fell on my tailbone, so now it hurts to sit down.
Great pic!
I’m gonna be posting a lot less, since my high school is very challenging, and I’ll have lots of homework and very little free time. *sigh* But I’ll be spending all weekend on the computer, so I’ll still be here.
(21) Stop by whenever you need to complain about your workload. We’ll be here.
Whoa. Fast moderation. Really fast moderation.
20~ I fell out of a tree onto my tailbone on a large pointy rock one time. I walked across the (large) field in front of my house to get inside, feeling as though my rear was caved in, and then thought that my parents might care to know that I had just fallen, so I walked across the field again to tell my Mom, and then back to the house. In all, not a fun day.
Hmm, that reminds me of another time when I walked across that field with an injury….that time I’d nearly cut the tip of my finger off, due to a misbehaving knife and a petrified loaf of bread………*reminisces*
New one? I remember when there were new ones every two hundred posts…
Anyway.
Quite a nice picture, by the way.
25 – Yeah, I remember that. We had Part 4s all the time, and often higher.
Awesome picture! The weather isn’t too bad here (comparatively), but ice cubes are still awesome for soccer practice.
24- Yipes! That sounds REALLY painful… both of those.
I nearly chopped my thumb off once- never hold a glue gun and a sheet rock knife at the same time. There will be blood splattered on the walls, floor, your face, and your shirt.
20, 24, 27-Ooh. That’s bad.
*cries* My mom says I’ve never had a tragic experience! I can’t cry about it on here since I’ve never had one! *sobs*
To be random, on MA, two people have accidentally typed AvalonGirl, making me another character!
And I’m not even and never was ON MA!
I’m getting braces tomorrow. *prepares self for pain* I’m not looking forward to it.
awesomely awesome pic! Ice feather huh? Cool! Literally!
Well, I’ve usually been on MB before now, but I was reading a very good novel this morning and, of course, we’re moving my sister tomorrow. So, everyone’s crazy.
Second day of tennis tryouts. Eek!
Going to get there 30 minutes early to practice with Ros and warm up a bit… I hope I make varsity. I know I probably will, but my mind seems to need to worryworryworry. Just like it always does about band playing tests tests even though I know I’m better than S (the flute who sat below me last year) but I have to get all the music perfect otherwise what if I’m not first chair?
Ahhhg *stabs brain*
Much better.
29 – As I say to everyone, it’s really not that bad. It’ll only hurt for a few days, and then a little more when it’s tightened.
Although, I shouldn’t really be talking, because something happened while I slept and I’ve got a little sore in my mouth from my braces that keeps bothering me. xD
32- Not only do I have to get braces, but I also have to get an expander. UGH. Do not want!
33 – At the same time? Ouch, that does stink. I had an expander for most of 6th grade, and got braces in 7th, but having them at the same time would be irritating to the max.
Individually, they weren’t that bad, except for slight pain when I got them in, and the fact that I couldn’t talk normally for a few days when I got my expander. I don’t know about together. Good luck!
34- I don’t wanna talk weird! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *cries*
I bought Essential X-Men from Borders yesterday and it is several hundred pages of PURE AWESOME. (Is that grammatically valid?) There’s the first appearence of the “New” team, the begining of the Phoenix saga, and adventures everywhere from the prehistoric jungle to a top secret military base to a planet in farthest-flung Shi’ar space!
My cousin talks very oddly, because she has an EXPANDER.
I talk funny (I think) because I have a PERMANENT RETAINER.
I’m trembling with excitement. (Yes folks, my hands actually do shake quite noticeably when I’m excited.)
I was looking at the website of the USS Constellation, and under information for people who may want to volunteer they had a link for an organization called the “Ship’s Company”.
It looks quite lovely, and I’m wondering if I might possibly persuade my parents to consider it. They focus on the war of 1812 and the Civil War (their affiliation with the Constellation), but those are time periods that I am interested in learning more about, thought they are rather modern. (Hornblower’s times, in fact. No, that’s not why I’m interested. Not entirely, anyway. Stop laughing.)
Anyway, if I could join, I think I’d fit in rather well, I have a bit more knowledge of sailing ships than the general public (if I may brag), I’m used to working in period dress, and I play music! (They have a group-within-a-group that is dedicated to maritime music.)
Hmmm, I wonder if I could get into some of those time periods and activities……………..being able to drive myself would be nice in situations like these. Darn.
I hope I can go to se the Constellation again tomorrow, dad said we might!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Yes, Virginia, I am obsessed.)
Okay, 3 and a half hours on the computer is enough. It’s too much, actually.
Although, this has been rather more productive than usual.
But now I’m off to practice and pretend like I have a life. Or practice pretending I have a life, I don’t know which.
That sounds really awesome, Fiddler! I know that I’d like to hear more about what being on a ship that big for a while is like. I’ve sadly never really spent any quality time on a tall masted ship in the past few years, but I spend plenty of time with the little ones
.
Anyways, I was up in upstate NY for the past week or so, at a regatta, and I too went to Niagara falls, Raynpho! Sorry if this message is late, but I should probably tell you what I did and what I suggest. the Maid of the Mist is a vital thing to do (If you’re there to see the falls), and the Cave of the Winds is really cool, but the lines get really long during peak hours. Also, if you can, you might want to stay in a hotel outside of Niagara itself. The city is sadly rundown, and the lodgings are expensive. But it was a great place to be, when I was there, a few days ago! (I also slept in a vineyard on the way back. win!)
29-They’re actually not bad once you get used to them, but still. Tylanol helps. *symapthy*
40~ Oh, I’ve only been on for a day, doing the tourist-y thing. How to describe it though? Amazing.
Wow. I actually have free time today. It’s only a couple hours, but it counts.
33- One of my friends has all of the various forms of braces. He calls them Torture Device #1, Torture Device #2, Torture Device #3, and Torture Device #4/The Hurtz Device.
40- Cool!
preeeeeeeeeeeeeety piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicture. dont get rid of it until AFTER the 27th. so i can stick it to my mgazine holder . i’m on vacation. or somebody (like kokonilly) can email it to me
still packing for college. Good lord, I’d no idea how much stuff I’d aquired. Whoa.
40) Oh definately! I rode the Maid of the Mist once! It was so AWESOME!
I got soaked!
45- What sort of college are you going to?
Hello everyone I’m back from way too many hours of Runescape! I’m moving to North Carolina on Wednesday so you might not see me again for about a week – Bye! ! ! ! ! ! !
(48) Welcome to North Carolina, Logogeo96!
You can visit the CIA HQ!
44 – You want it? Okay. You’ve got it.
‘Lo everyone!
boarding school is nice. Yesterday we went on a trip to some farm twenty-six killometers away, and we biked there. then we slept in a stable and biked back today.
About an hour ago, some friends and i were haveing a water fight with three of the boys and we dumped bottles of water over each other. We instinctively froze, but the teacher just said, ‘there’s a hose over there!!!!!’ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is NICE!
we are seperated into families, which are like the houses in harry potter, I’m in Brejdablik. Brejdablik has a tradition of hating any one from Vanaheim, so a couple of years ago, Brejda had a demonstration against Vana, and they kidnapped some Vana kids and tied them up to a tree. Anyway, I’m off to make some BrejdaPride Reborn! posters.
:^) hehehehhe. this smiley face has a nose.
45) gwah! I’m envious…but not of the packing. Good luck! I can’t imagine putting all my stuff in boxes. I end up taking so much less, just cause that seems like such a pain.
52) D: hey, sounds nice! I always wanted to go to a boarding school.
53) :^D lol I like it
This one’s a rose! —–/—-( (@
And this one’s a cherleader being attacked by a shark!
—–/\—-*\o/*——
Joy to the world!
55 – No, it’s ___/\___*\o/*___
Here’s a random person being attacked!
____/\___\o/___
55, 56- did you get those from The Big Book of Girl stuff???
57 – No! Of course not!
…Yes, I did. My little sister practically worships that book and taught it to me.
57- YES!!! OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT BOOK!!! And here’a a scuba diver-
…_(:)o I think.
59 – Seriously? I really dislike that book. The Daring Book for Girls is waaaay better.
60- Oh yeah? Well, I dislike THAT book. A lot. So there.
61 – Your book teaches you weird vocabulary (which my sister uses now; none of us understand half the crap she spews) and my book teaches you knots. Ha!
62- You know, I’m a Girl Scout. My mother runs a day camp and takes my troop, which she runs, out camping at LEAST once a month. I have had my fill of knots. And TBBOGS has not effected my vocabulary one bit. So there. I don’t care what you say. I find my book intresting. Well, in the wholo defense of neutrality, has anyone read The Encyclopedia of Immaturity from Klutz? I think it’s great with all the fun stuff in there. And Klutz does NOT make your brain rot, whatever my sister says. Don’t listen to her!
And heck, I’m only ten.
63 – I’m a Scout, too. My book is more for tomboys, whereas your book is for girly-girls. Being ten is no excuse.
65- WHAT?! Is not! My friend John wanted to look at it once! No lie. Seriously. I was sitting next to her when he asked.
Guys, chillax. It’s just a book!
63, 65 – I used to be a Girl Scout. I was a Brownie in elementary school, and I had been a Junior for a few months when my family moved. There was a troop at my new elementary school, but they didn’t do badges at all (which was one of my favorite parts) or camping or anything. They just made nail polish and talked about the importance of washing your hands. (Seriously. That’s all I remember from my short time with that troop)
Anyways, I kind of wish that I was still a Scout, but soccer takes up way too much time for me. Oh well. Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout, right?
48) Wowsers! Welcome!
Another fellow North Carolinian! 
You’d better cheer for UNC……..
What? That doesn’t look like a shark to me…… or a scuba diver……
AWESOME PICTURE!!!
I love Feather.
Lady B. how did you do this one? Is it real ice? It looks so… real!
68-You’re in North Carolina?
Zinc? Are you saying there’s a real Leafy? I’m sorry, I can’t keep track of these things. I am very confused.
Red-tailed HAWK
52-That sounds awesomeeeee!
I have the Daring Book for Girls, and I’m 15.
I’ve never read the Big Book of Girl Stuff.
I think that Tuck Everlasting, Walk Two Moons, and Bridge to Terebithia influenced me more, but I read those 5 years ago and I was more impressionable.
I love the rhymes in the Daring Book for Girls. I want the Dangerous Book for Boys now.
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am tired, have a splitting headache and I’m probably going to have to get up slightly earlier than I’d wish tomorrow. Besides the fact that my fingernails are too long and it’s bugging me.
But I chose to start this post off with a big scream of joy because I spent the majority of my day on board the USS Constellation in Baltimore’s inner harbor. YAYAYAYAYAY……yeah, you get the idea…..
Anyway, ’twas lovely, ’twas enlightening, and it made me more detirmened than ever that it would be GOOD for me to get involved-somehow- with that ship. And perhaps OTHER ships. And then even MORE. Yesssssss…………this is good!
Ah, and I’ve found where I can get marlin! Goodgoodgood. I’m quite happy about this, it means that I’ll be able to start covering everything I see (yes, everything, friends included, so watch out) in Turk’s heads, parceling, ringbolt and French hitching, etc., etc., etc……. I AM VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS, CAN YOU TELL?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I’m sure you share my joy and exuberance. Especially at this hour. *falls asleep*
Go look up the Whydah. Just do it. It’s amazing.
for those who must know what they’re getting into first, it’s the only documented pirate wreck. And it’s amazing.
71- Way to misspell “determined”
And 10:15 is hardly late.
67 – Wow. *sympathy* But my experience hasn’t been much better, I’m sad to say. But I did see MARFwarrior at Girl Scout camp, and for that I’m very grateful.
70 – I didn’t really like Tuck Everlasting. Or Bridge to Terabithia. I didn’t get it.
(72) Have you looked at the work they’re doing on what is believed to be the Queen Anne’s Revenge? I saw a fascinating presentation about the project at the North Carolina Museums Council meeting this spring. See qaronline.org
As a boy, I’m pretty weirded out by all of this mentions of girl stuff I know nothing about. : |
I could go there , yay me!
post 77 was for post 75
73- It might be later wherever she is. Time difference, you know!
my family got a new fridge, because two days ago there was a toxic gas/smoke leak in our house while I was at swim practice. They had to bring firefighters and everything, and I wasn’t allowed anywhere but the third floor for the rest of the night. It was really weird. My dad said that he and my brother smelled something funny, and then there was smoke in the kitchen and they called 911 and got out. I’m sure glad I wasn’t there for that.
Anyways, now we have a new, not gas-leaky fridge, and it’s empty, so my mom’s out at the grocer’s getting more food. In the meantime, I’m hungry. Anyone have any pie? *gets pied* Thank you.
79-
79) Wowsers! I’m glad your family’s OK!
Talk about an evil refridgerator! 
hee hee. Well, we ,moved my sister in yesterday and we wake this morning to realize that she forgot her alarm clock. Wow. that would have been troublesome. We eventually got on the phone with her, and, of course, she tried to get us to give her her old alarm clock, which let her awake to soft radio music. Nah uh! No way! We got her a horribly annoying one and are making sure to connect it on the opposite side of the room from where she’s sleeping. If that doesn’t get her up in the mornings, ain’t nothing gonna work!
79 – Refrigerators are evil.
81- Did you know they’ve read an alarm clock that rings then runs around and finds a hiding place, ringing all the time. And it’s smart enough to find a new hiding place everytime.
82-
NO, computer printers are 
79- What in the name of Koko made your fridge turn against you? Has it joined the HPBs? *shudder* Now they’re taking over houslehold appliances! What next?
85 – YAY! Go HPBs! ^^
My secret desire is to somehow trap Hannah Montana, the Jonas brothers, Demi Lovato, the Cheetah Girls, and the Naked Brothers Band with all their CDs and all their insturments (or maybe I’ll just sell the insturments) in one room, and have Sara Bareilles, KT Tunstall, the remaining Beatles, and Monty Python blow them all to a crisp.
87- Hm. Sadly enough, that image has some definite appeal.
88- Aren’t I evukl?
87 – Can we include the High School Musical cast in that? Please?
I went school supply shopping the other day, and every other item seemed to be Hannah Montana or HSM themed. Ugh.
Although, there was a Chuck Norris folder. Pwn.
90- Oh, I knew I forgot someone! Thanks, Meow.
BOOM AAAAHHHH!!!!!
That was fun!
My family just received some terrible news.
The father of a childhood friend of mine had a heart attack last night, when he and my friend’s mom were on vacation. Everyone’s really sad, including me. His dad had cancer, but we didn’t think it would end this way for him. It’s been a very sad day for them, and us too now.
This week doesn’t like me.
Lady B, could you P***** tell us how this wonder was created?!?!
I just got back from seeing my eye doctor. Apparently my eyes didn’t change very much in two years, and I only need slightly stronger lenses. Which is good.
What is really funny is that my eye doctor looks just like Robert Goddard. I want to tell him, but he probably has no idea who Goddard was.
92 – Aww.
First a lousy refrigerator, and now this. 
*hugs and choklit*
90- Don’t Get that started again!
87- don’t forget Camp Rock!
Ugh.
187 –
That sounds simply flamablamablous. But leave out Ashley Tisdale, she’s pwnsome in Phineas and Ferb.
96- Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers ARE Camp Rock. And I agree. Camp Rock’s songs are to easy. Everyone listed on my list sickens me.
98- Ah. :doesn’t have Disney Channel:
87- Ah yes, that would be the best sight to behold. But don’t forget the High School Musical cast.
90- This is horrible. We need some kind of Muserly School Supplies. Chuck Norris? At least there was that. *sweetness*
I watched The Illusionist millions of times yesterday.
100- Good idea! *runs off to Paint* *runs back* I’ll do it later. Right….
98 – Don’t forget the annoying ‘mean girls’. But leave out Alyson Stoner.
100 – Yaysome!
can we all agree never to talk about the jonas brothers? yes? okay.
92)
I’m really sorry to hear that, my condolences to their family and yours.
73~ I’m an hour ahead of blog time. I was tired because Id gotten up at somewhere around 7, and went to bed after midnight. And the night before was way after midnight, as was the night before that…….yeah, that’s why I was tired. Yes, that was a rather amazing spelling error, usually spellcheck gets me to fix them…..oh well. I was excited and writing fast.
75~ Ahh, very good, I’ll look it up!
92~ I’m so sorry for your family and that of your dad’s friend. *hugs* I know that virtual hugs aren’t the same, but do know that my thoughts are with you.
92 – Aww, that must really be awful. *hugs and choklit*
94 – My eyes had a good year too. They apparently didn’t change much at all, although I have very mild astigmatism in one of my eyes – my left, I think. I’m glad to hear that your eyes didn’t change much either. ^^
95, 103, 104, 105- Thanks so much for your support. *nibbles choklit* I can only imagine how hard it must be for his family. After all, to have him pass away on vacation while his kids were still at home…
I can’t stop thinking about it.
Conversation on phone:
Me: And they’re all talking like leet haxxors-
Clarissa: Haffwhats?
Me: Haxxors?
Clarissa: Yeh. Who’s that?
Me: Uh, look it up.
Clarissa: Can’t, Sarah’s using my laptop.
Me: Well, look it up when you get it back.
Clarissa: Can you tell me?
Me: *partly to be annoying and partly because I couldn’t explain right* No.
Clarissa: P*wease?
Me: No. Look it up.
Clarissa: I don’t know how to spell it!
Me: Look up one double three seven.
Clarissa: Thirteen thirty seven?
Me: Yeh.
Clarissa: Is that when it happened?
Me: …what?
Clarissa: Is that when the “haxxors” came?
Me: *laughing*
Clarissa: *giggle* What did I say wrong?
Me: Hahahahaisthatwhenithappenedhahhathehaxxorsarecominghahhahaha–
Clarissa: Um, I don’t get it.
Me: *choking out words* I wouldn’t expect you to. Look it up.
Clarissa: Is 1337 another end of the world prediction, like 2012?
Me: *falls off bed laughing*
Clarissa: *uncontrollable giggling*
Two hours later…
Clarissa: OHHH does 1337 mean leet?
Me: …yes.
Clarissa: Ohh. I heard you complaining about “lazy leet” once, and you said something about one three three seven.
Me: *mimicks* Is that when it happened? *laughing*
Clarissa: I’m SORRY!
Me: Good thing I got it on recording.
Clarissa: !!! You didn’t.
Me: *laughing*
FIN.
Author’s Note: She later asked me if I was going to post this on MuseBlog. As if she needed to ask… *laughing*
If this wasn’t funny, I’m sorry, you had to be there.
87- Phenomenal idea. All in favor?
107 –
Did you really get a recording of it?
107-
108- If I can burn them, too! You can borrow my blowtorch.
109-Yes, I did. I wouldn’t have, but she put me on speaker when I was singing Pork and Beans.
111- I’m also throwing in all their merchandise and die-hard fans in the flame created by your blowtorch on their smoking embers.
113- Merchandise? Don’t forget the Hannah-Montana rockstar apparel. I
forcedconvinced my younger sister to try on one of those gold miniskirt-with-tights-attached things on. She was not amused. Myself, on the other hand…We came back from Niagara Falls yesterday!
It was nice, though highly commercialized. Better, though, was visiting the Corning Museum of Glass on the way back. Extremely spiffy! Who would have thought glass was so interesting?
40- Unfortunately, we didn’t have advice like yours, and did stay in the city. Hotels were not great.
83) But how would you turn it off?
You guys know what stinks? I’m starting to get busy. School is starting in one week! I haven’t been able to come on MB as much!
Oh well. It happens. 
108) I agree. Although violence really isn’t the answer. They are quite annoying.
111 – You have a BLOWTORCH?!?!?! *jealousy*
Fiddler Hi everyone! We’re here at my house, having a mini-kokon. How are you?
RtH Hi! We’re having a great time! The bird of prey has finally learned to fly
Fiddler Yes, and very well for just a little time!
We were on the tire swing on the floodplane. Next time he’s going to attempt the flying leap onto it, but we’ve made enough progress for the day……
RtH You’d be surprised how much of a land animal I am for someone who’s supposed to be a flying animal!
(117) Hi, guys! What’s for dinner?
(117) Hi, Fiddler and R-t H! I’m sorry I couldn’t make it today — there were just too many things I needed to do in Virginia. Please do tell your parents to keep me informed of future opportunities.
117) Hi people!
Fiddler ‘Ello all! Dinner was cooked over the fire, corn on the cob, potatoes, squash, portabello mushrooms, and a tomato and cucumber salad (that wasn’t cooked!). Thanks mom!!! *yumyumyum* I’m stuffed now.
RtHThe food was amazing! I don’t think I have ever had food cooked over a bonfire!
Fiddler 119~ We’ll let you know next time we have a bonfire, or whenever anything of interest is happening around here.
Goodnight all!
(121) Sounds scrumptious. There’s really nothing like food cooked that way. Did you roast marshmallows on pitchforks again?
121- It sounds beautiful.
121- Lucky.
I’m not a huge fan of mushrooms, but my mom definitely is.
104- Ah.
121- Food cooked out in the open air is always scrumptious. My dad is the king of steak and bonfires
122~ Nope, not this time. We did have a watermelon that my aunt grew next door, it’s orange! And very sweet and yummy.
Mom also had some chocolate cake, I didn’t have any though, since I’m completely stuffed……then again, I wonder how many leftovers there are…………..
123~ Yup! It was quite nice, it’s a beautiful night…….not too cold or hot, clear sky, bright moon…….nice in general.
124~ I love mushrooms!!!! You’d have to try these though, they’re really good the way my mom makes them.
125~ No steak here, we’re all vegetarians…..but the bonfire was quite lovely.
HAWK and his parents just left a little bit ago.
I’m tired. Very tired. *falls asleep* *wakes up* *submits post*
Good morning all!
Thank you GAPAs for putting Bunny Apocalypse on the Don’t Forget These Threads! But… silly fun??? I do not think I would call BA ‘silly fun’. Fighting for your life against millions of crazed hot pink bunnies is NOT silly! Or particularly fun, either! *pants a little* Ahhh….yeah. Sorry for the rant.
(128) You can attribute the choice to our sick sense of humor.
I wonder why the blog is so slow today?
130- Slow? The blog? Don’t be silly!
*waits*
*waits more*
*hears crickets*
Okay, maybe it IS a little slow. But you people remember that I had to wake up around 8:00 to get on the blog at 10:00 Blog Time.
(130, 131) Monday mornings are often slow when skool is in session, and, yes, that is indeed the case for a growing number of bloggers.
132~ I’m on!! And I’m sure you know that I’m perfectly able to post many wordy posts about nothing at all, if the need arises…..
It’s a special talent.
We’re going to middle school -*Leafy runs off screaming* what the heck?!- on September 3rd. PMS (that’s the initials of our middle school- go figure!) ‘s corriders are outside, and every on looks the same!
(133) Midnight Fiddler: Secret Weapon. Good to know you’re on stand-by.
132 – Ah. Well, my school doesn’t start until September 2. You’ll be seeing a lot of me until then.
134~ Urhg. What a name! I can’t stand buildings that look all the same, I have nightmares about them. Actually, getting lost in industrial type building nightmares are sometimes scarier than the ones I get beat up in. Hmm, shows where my priorities are……
(forgive the double post, i was distracted when writing the last one)
135~ Yup. Anyone care to hear about some boring and obscure nautical tidbits? Or perhaps you’d be interested in a rant about some of my pet peeves as regards to inaccurate costuming at living history events? Or some of the differences between the modern day violin and that of the 18th century?
Oh yes, a secret weapon indeed.
107-
134-Nice name
ksjdfkdshgfn grrrrr…R&R time! *dies*
I got my laptop today!
I am borrowing from the school as a result of having /financial difficulties/.
So it’s old, but mine. Until the end of the year.
Fiddler- Yes! Nautical tidbits, living history events, and violins sound fascinating.
I was watching children’s television for no particular reason, when I realized that (I thinkthe characters name is chirp) the red bird on peep and the big wide world is the same voice actor as DW on Arthur. funny how these things happen. anyways, sorry to bother you.
(142) Speaking of cartoon voices, I suppose everyone knows that Helena Bonham-Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange / Mrs. Lovett) also voiced Emily in “The Corpse Bride”?
134- Heh. The middle school in our town also has those initials.
My high school’s initials are EVHS.
143- Emily’s voice is so nice! that’s some goodacting from
Mrs. Bonham-Carter!
I’m done with me home work!
134- get use to it.
Over a period of a week or so, I’ve watched all six Rocky Balboa movies. Here’s what I get from them: Rocky loses a fight, and an injury prevents him from ever fighting again. Then Rocky wins a fight, and an injury prevents him from ever fighting again. Then Rocky loses a fight. Then Rocky wins a fight. Then Rocky wins a fight, and an injury prevents him from ever fighting again. Then Rocky beats up some kids on the street.
That’s it.
Pretty repetitive.
What a waste of my life.
I’m going to draw a picture of a bunny.
() ()
( o.O )

== ==
149- Ugly Bunny.
150- WELL! *takes offence because she doesn’t know any better*
151- I like the bunny! Mostly because you can’t do any thing better than it. Shut up, idiot. Speaking of idiots, when Summer (Leafy) calls me an idiot, I go around yelling, “I’m an idiot! I’m an idiot!” with a big grin on my face. It annoys the heck out of her. And yeah, my middle school’s initials are PMS- great sign, huh?
hey there guys. I’m here (college). They keep us super busy but it is super fun.
bye.
152) Tee hee.
149) BUNNY!
Right now, I distracted by a wood carving of an elephant on my computer desk. *is distracted*
141~ Umm, I was joking, but……..okay, a bit of geeky trivia: When Lord Nelson died, the ship that carried the news back to England was the HMS Pickle, a topsail schooner, whose sister is the Sultana, in Chestertown, MD. She didn’t join in the battle, because they said she was too small and would be blown to bits, but she brought back the news because she was the fastest of the fleet.
Another bit is that when he was killed, they put his body in a cask of rum to preserve it and bring it back to England…….when they got there and took off the lid it was missing a good bit of it’s contents (the rum), and rum gained a nickname–Nelson’s blood.
153) DDD: I’m so jealoussfgdsfhdg have lots of fun!
155) Wowsers. That’s awesomely awesome! But where did the rum go? Not into his body. *gags*
Wow, I’ve had a crazy past two days. I’m sure you all don’t care much, so I’ll just make a list.
1. I went to a pool party for my soccer team yesterday, to celebrate the completion of our latest tournament.
2. While at the party I learned that I got voted MVP of our team for that tournament, which is really awesome.
3. This morning I started going to a Digital Movie Making camp, like I will be for the rest of this week. It was awesome, and I think it’s going to get cooler.
4. Also yesterday I learned that my school is going to have a theater/movie making thing available next year for kids to do, and I definitely think I’m going to apply to be Director or Producer. Movie making is a real interest of mine, particularly after my first day of camp. I’ve requested a copy of the script, and I hope I get it soon.
Camp also made me realize how little human interaction I’ve had all summer. I can’t wait for school to start.
(158) Congratulations, Cat’s Meow!
158- We care!
Congrats on MVP, and Digital Movie Making camp sounds awesome.
I suppose MuseBlog does not count as “human interaction.”
*Ponders* No, I suppose not.
I just made a mini pirate costume for a freaky baby doll my sister owns, just to see if the design works out. It turned out fairly well, ignoring the extremely wonky stitching and patterning. Hey, it was done in 10 minutes, and the baby is awkwardly shaped. I might make a full-size version for my sister, if I don’t forget/decide to be lazy and give up on it.
160 – It’s sort of “human interaction”, but it’s kind of hard through a computer screen and all.
We have to come up with an idea for a movie (for my movie-making camp), but they don’t want us to “waste time writing a script”, so they made this fill-in-the-blank template that we’re suppose to fill out tonight and bring in tomorrow. Unfortunately, it’s taking me even longer this way, because the fill in the blank plot is utterly stupid.
161- Ugh, that’s horrible. Fill in the blanks?
162 – Example:
(voice over)
Actor 1 (thinking to self)
I really loved __________. All I had to do was ________ and (then) _________. It happened so fast… I can’t believe I screwed it up. How am I ever going to face ________ and ________ down at the __________? One thing is for sure, I can’t ever _________ again.
(live action)
Enter Actor 2
Actor 2 (Excited)
Hi __________, how did it go last night at (the) ____________? Did you get to _______________ and ___________?
Actor 1 (__________)
First of all __________, I did/did not ________________. Nor did I get to ____________ and ___________ down at the ____________.
Second of all, where did you get that ____________? You’d be the last one I ever thought I’d see with a ____________________. Does your _________ know you have that?
etc, etc, etc
Tropical Storm Fay is coming towards me right now. It may hit me, it may not. I’m not really concerned though. I’ve seen worse.
I’ll be giving everyone a first-hand report of life inside a storm tomorrow. Well, unless the power fails.
Then again, it may miss us entirely.
(164) Stay dry, Guy! More important, stay on the ground, and let us know how you’re doing. Your next few posts should make for interesting reading.
164 – Wow, I would be freaked out by that.
The worst danger I’ve ever been in was the big fire I posted about a while ago, and that wasn’t anywhere near my house. I was more worried for my friends.
163- *whimpers and goes to hide in a closet*
164- eh. Sounds like you, like me, are used to it. I mean, Lily, katrina, Rita, and then that other one a couple of years ago were all hurricanes, and we never evacuated. Katrina didn’t hit us right on, we only got her right wing, but the roads were so packed we couldn’t evacuate. That was worrisome.
But the other four passed rightover us. we got to see lily and rita’s eyes.
158) Awesome! I wonder what kind of movie it is……..
161) Ah. All sympathy. What do they mean “waste time” writing a script?! The script is the whole thing!
163) *dies* How……. erm.. ….. entertaining.
168)
Scary. I live slightly farther inland, so the most of any hurricane we ever see is perhaps the far edge, hardly anything. One did come fairly close one time, so my whole family moved into our basement. Some hurricane named after a guy. I can’t remember which one it was though……..
163- What the? Is that a script?????????????????
I JUST GOT MY BRACES OFF! w00t!
Re: script:
Oh, my.
Re: hurricanes: Minnesota wouldn’t have a hurricane unless one formed over Lake Superior.
Re: SoCal had a 5.something earthquake a few weeks ago. It started by Chino Hills. I was at my 88 year old grandmother’s house(the one that comes from Germany) when it happened. Everything started shaking, nothing but that. Where my dad was working, building were shaking.
Actually, earthquakes feel like monster trucks are rolling down your street. I’ve experienced two that I can remember. Stupid San Andreas Fault. It’s named after a Saint! Irony, irony, IRONY! Well, it does give us here in SoCal something to brag about to the rest of you.
i have never experienced an earthquake. i have lyme disease. i had a fever last thursday and then on friday we went to oregon and whenever i stood up i got a headache and i had a fever and i was really tired and then on wednesday or thursday we went to a clinic and they had to do a blood test so they poked be on the inside of my elbow but the y missed so then the y had to poke my other arm and then it worked but they only were abnle to get enough for one test and they needed 2, one to send to salt lake for the lyme test even though i only had 2 of the symptoms, not including the bullseye rash. so i felt all nauseous and i really wanted to leave and i was freezing even though i was wearing a ski hat and a sweatshirt and jeans so they gave me some apple juice and graham crackers andi i ate those and i felt beter and then they poked me AGAIN and they took more blood but i didnt feel sick that time because i was layiing down and so they perscribed a liquid antibiotic and so we walked over to the rite aid but they didnt have andy of the anti biotic so my mom called a bunch of pharmacys and then we walked to haggen to get it and they werent sure i would be able to swallow it but it was about 1/3 the sise ov my vitamins. then on saturday or something i took the antibiotic and some advil to kep the fever down and then i ate some yogurt but i started throwing up in the wastebasket from too much medicine on an empty stomach. and then yesterday we went to whole foods and bought a probiotic and so now i get to eat 3 BILLION BACTERIA A DAAY YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because i wil be on antibiotics for a ling time. and congradulation s kokonily! what do you look like without braces? i forgot.
173 – Eep! Lyme disease!
I’ll send you a picture, MARFwarrior, or I can come over to your house sometime!
161, 163- WHAT? THE SCRIPT’S THE MOST IMPORTENT CAKING PART!
Kokonilly, do you have the feeling that you and I are the only ones who have been on most of the day?
Life with Tropical Storm Fay, Day 1
Uhh… Was the storm supposed to hit today? It was a beautiful day. So, what happened? It hit much farther south than expected. And it’s moving at about 5 miles an hour. I won’t even see any effects until tomorrow. And it seems like it’ll head across FL into the Atlantic, strengthen into a hurricane, turn around, and come back across. This is one of those weird storms. This
maywill go on for days.173) Lyme disease?!
Ooch! I hope you get better OK!
The GAPAs have not moderated in TWO HOURS.
173- Lyme disease is nasty. *sympathy pies*
143-Yup. She and Depp are in most of Tim Burton’s stuff.
Lyme disease? Earthquakes? Fill-in-the-blank scripts? *moves to Mars*
I saw the Dark Knight yesterday. It was ah-maz-ing. I died of fright, but I’m a wimp so that’s no surprise.
157~ Mmm hmm. That is the question, even though they said not to tap that cask……. *gags*
I was swimming in the creek most of the day with Katie. Then we went to her house and rode horses, well, only one of them, Maggie. She’s big, beautiful and STUBBORN as all get out. Grr. However, she’s found a rider that’s just as boneheaded, if not more so.
Ooh yes, I think we’ll get along just fine………
181- I haven’t seen it yet, whioch officially makes me the lamest moviegoer in history. I need to make some more money, my babysitting job isn’t yielding as much as I’d hoped. Is Heath Ledger actually posthumous Oscar worthy in that movie, or is it all hype?
175 – Yes, I agree.
183-Not really. I haven’t seen it, and probably am not going to.
Gooooooooooooooooodmorning!
I’m lonely today. 
Both of my parents are leaving for teacher workdays at school and I’m stuck at home all by myself, sense my sister is now gone. 
I begged my Mom to let me go with her but she refused. 
I’m stuck in ym house all by myself with just my cat for company. *sob*
186~ Goooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning to you, as well!
Hmm, that does sound lonely. Cats can be good company, though.
This thread does not work. It is cold and rainy enough already.
Nice picture though.
Hello everyone! I am back! Again! And I’m in the library of my high school because I have no 1st period and I sit in here instead! Go me! And I’m vey hyper and spazzy today, and I managed to injure my ankle by brushing teeth.
It’s the first day of high school. And so far, nothing has really happened except a few mini-reunions. And…wait for it… I didn’t get egged by any seniors! (Which is apparently a bit of a problem for freshmen here.)
I just found out that my bus this year will be coming at 6:35 AM. Think that’s ridiculous? Well, also consider that first period at my school starts at 7:30 AM. *shakes fist at transportation department people*
190 – Same here! My bus arrives at 6:37 AM, and the stop is two blocks away. School starts at 7:30 AM.
Gah.
190 &191) *smpathizing*
our school makes us walk if u live in a 2 mile raduis thingy, but im luckier than my other friend cuz she lives 2 miles away and i live right next to it. 8) school for us starts at 9 and goes till 3:30
192 – Lucky. 9? What grade are you going into?
I got a new journal, and I keep feeling the urge to write in it (finished my last one), but I have no idea where it is.
Probably still in its Barnes and Noble bag somewhere..
I think I am going to record myself singing into the microphone. Then I will play it back and see if I sound any good.
194) How fun! I like doing that! But I always think I sound different when I record it. But it probubly doesn’t sound different. It probubly is just me.
193) 6th. you?
194) school supplies kinda scare me, they’re soo shiny and seem unreal
so i just have to doodle on them and make them more human
196 – 9th grade.
I don’t know what to get for school supplies, high school don’t give you a list. Help?
197) Pretty much the usual stuff. Just more of it. I mean, when I was in middle school, I had one big binder for all of my stuff. Now, I use one middle sized binder for each class. Unless I have a class that doesn’t require that. Like art or choir. Of course, don’t forget your compass and protractor for your math classes, just in case you don’t already have that.
183-YESYESYES. If they don’t give him an Oscar, I might just kill somebody.
Oh, hi everybody. I wont be around for long, but I might check in later.
oh yeah!
i have to get a protractor
because my old one gave up on me!
grr
190 – School doesn’t start until 8. And I don’t have a bus although I might take the public bus that goes by the high school.
198 – Thanks!
197-You’re…….in 9th grade? But………….*blinks wildly*…..oh, never mind.
I love school supplies. I am obsessed with notebooks, besotted with folders, and can never get enough pretty pencils and erasers.
Sigh…….
And.I used to use a binder, but it was too heavy. Now I just use folders.
203) I love your username. haha
I’m buying school supplies at kinokuniya tommorow. if I have things my way, I’ll have everything I need.
203 – Yeah, I’m in 9th grade.
204 – What’s ‘kinokuniya’? I just get my supplies at Staples (curse it!) or Target.
161 – Well, the focus of the camp is more on the actual movie making then the script writing. Everyone in my group agreed that the fill in the blank script was lame, though.
170 – The start of one we were supposed to write. My group tried to change it, but we had to stick with it.
175 – I know.
They said that the fill in the blanks script would force us to be creative, but it just got on our nerves and made our plot utterly confusing.
It’s slightly depressing to come home from a long day at Movie Making Camp, where the audio on half of the shots we did yesterday apparently didn’t work, and where we annoyed the heck out of everybody by playing Disney songs for the last hour at full volume, to find an e-mail talking about planning your classes for high school.
Not only do I have a problem for one subject, I have problems for two, which apparently means we need to start planning, possibly all the way through senior year, now. Because I may not be able to meet math requirements, and I may or may not have credit left over from the Algebra class I took in fifth grade, and I may or may not be allowed to take the Spanish I final, and I may be able to take the Spanish II final before I can take the Spanish I final and blah blah blah blah blah. -.-
Oh, and I’m completely messed up from working on Macs for the past few days at camp, so every time I mean to hit Ctrl I’m accidently hitting Alt. Of course, when I go back to camp tomorrow it’s going to be the exact opposite problem.
205) it’s a japanese bookstore, but they also sell a lot of folders and notebooks and things. I always buy stuff there because they have these neat plastic slip type things that make organizing by subject really easy.
Well, Fay missed me entirely, but it’s turning around and coming back. Oh joy.
206 – Wow. That sucks.
207 – Neat! I don’t think we have it here in boring old Minnesota.
208 – o.0
208-Eep!!
I have 16 mosquito bites. Ewww. Mosquitoes need to go away.
I Wuv Weezer!
197- I’m in the same grade as you, whoopee!
210- I’m more allergic to mosquito bites thatn anyone I know. When I get bitten, the bite swells up to the size of a bottle cap and it itches like nobody’s buisness. Once, I got one right on my eyelid and couldn’t see for two weeks. I really, REALLY hate mosquitos and their nasty biting abilities.
211 – Yay!
God, I hate mosquitoes. You have about the same reaction to mosquitoes as I do! I’ve never gotten a bite on my eyelid, though. Once, I got the freaky fluid thing on my eyelid, though. (We made it on the first day of class at nerd camp.) I couldn’t close my left eye! 
Also, I got it ALL OVER my arms and shins. I even got it in my hair. 
hey guys haven’t been here in some time:D
205 I’m going to 6th grade and I get my supplies from target (bull’s eye)
WHY MUST THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
215- because the good and young know that there are things worth dying for.
213 – *welcome pies*
Hello everyone. Wow. I feel weird. I’m now blogging in my Mom’s classroom at school. Youk now, teacher workdayness. MY Mom’s internet is very annoying because the school trys to block every website they can think of. For example, I can’t image search anything on any search engine you could possibly think of. Even if you type in soething as simple as “cat” into the search engine, it won’t let you. My Dad used to like listening to a Celtic music radio station online and they blocked that, saying that students were going on and listening to Celtic music. Have you ever heard of highschool students deliberatly going on the computer to listen to Celtic music? I don’t think so! My dad was so mad. He felt like sending a really sarcastic reply back to the driods down at main office, but he decided against it. I just hope they don’t block Museblog at school.
218 – Wow, that sucks.
The only annoying thing our school blocks that I can think of right now is the Addicting Games site. But, then again, the few games I want to play on there I can simply Google and find on another site.
218- When I’m on school grounds, my laptop blocks everything but Google and the school website. So I won’t be able to get on the blog during the day like I’d hoped. Meh.
The computers at the school I go to let you go on any site, but the librarian is always peering over. And if the site doesn’t meet her fancy she comes over and coughs real hard until you close the browser. Personally, I feel sorry for her because her throat must hurt from all that fake coughing.
*cough*
*COUGH*
* COUGH *
I’m wearing one of my favorite shirts right now. It says- “CONSERVE ENERGY- Bother someone else…” And it’s quite soft and comfterable.
I’m BAAAAAAAAACK!
Didja miss me?
There’s absolutely no point in my trying to catch up on anything except my RRRs, so I won’t attempt it. Also, trying to sum up fourteen days worth of activity would end in failure, so I won’t try that either. That leaves me with nothing to say, or almost nothing, so I guess I’ll go get caught up on my RRRs.
Clean clothes delight my soul.
I discovered last year that administrators don’t like it much when you log on to the school’s network from an unauthorized computer. Ah well. At least they haven’t blocked MB.
223- Welcome back, mate! We missed you.
223 – Hi! Um, your NationStates country died.
Hi guys! -waves- -pies-
226- Yes, I got an email from POSOC informing me of that. It was my intention to have it die, so it’s all good.
225- My kitten missed me too, I think. -winces- Ow! Stop eating my hand, you little beastie!
227 – Well then that’s just splendid!
Welcome back! *pies*
223- Welcome back!! Having clean clothes after camping is amazing, second only to taking a proper shower.
ALICE! You’re back!
YAY! I’m glad you had a good time! 
229- Mm… clothes first, then shower.
231- Well, it depends on how well you showered at the camp. Personally, that’s not very well.
I shower much more thoroughly in my home territory.
I take it back. Fay stopped moving completely. And nobody knows why. The poor people that she’s stuck over got over two feet of rain yesterday, and it’s still pouring. And that’s not all that’s weird about her.
1) Storms break up over land. But Fay got stronger when she hit Florida.
2) She’s hovering over the coast, picking up lots of water. That should make her stronger- she should be a hurricane by now. But nothing has happened.
3) When Fay was moving, she was moving at about 5-8 mph. That’s really slow, even for a tropical storm. And now she stopped moving completely.
4) All predictions have been off. The meteorologists are usually pretty good at pinpointing a tropical storm’s path, but not with this one.
It’s all very weird. And our weather has been quite nice.
233) You’re right. That is very weird. It really doesn’t make sense.
233 –
That is freaky.
233-Verrrry weird…..
Double post… sorry…
Is there anyone here or is the blog just ridiculously slow?
218~ they have a problem with Celtic music?? I’m offended. Well, I must say that I do sometimes listen to Celtic music off the internet, but I’ve never thought it was a bad thing…….
223~ Hello again!! Yes, I did notice that you weer missing, go check the History thread, too. Oh, and happy birthday!! *pies*
Yesterday and today have been awful; nonstop fighting with Mom. Argh. And she’s decided for some reason that a new-ish friend of mine and her family are out to get her. Agh. Why???
I know she’s upset right now because her Dad (my grandpa) is having severe health problems and the box she’s making him isn’t going the way she wanted it to, but is that any excuse for taking it out on me? I somehow can’t see why I should be held “responsible” for all her issues. Does she honestly think it’s any easier for me? Well, no, it isn’t, as a matter of fact.
And then she goes and blows up at me when I say that the bows are all warped. Well, what can I do? I wasn’t blaming her in any way, but she screams at me that according to me she “always ****s everything up”, and then stomps out.
Do I deserve this?
Sorry, I’m just tired, sore (from riding horses the other day and getting hit by bowstrings today), and fed up with the last few days.
You don’t even have to bother reading it at all.
Hey people!
After a ban that put me off this site for god knows how long, I’m finally back on the airwaves, in a manner of speaking. Theres a lot to be said so…
1. If you thought I knew too many languages before, you’re wrong. I have just started learning Azeri. Te’esuf ke, men azerbaycanca yaxsi danismirem. (Or, I have to regret that my Azeri isn’t very good yet.)
2. Are beavo and ebeth and everybody else still here? On this thread i see tons of new people but some oldies, too.
3. Hi Administrators! There was a nickname for you guys- I think Prarillius Canix made it up, but I forgot it.
Welcome back, Cliff Eagle!
237~ I dunno, there’s barely any new posts…..I think Alice is on, and moderation is fairly reasonable, but it seems pretty quiet.
I’m going to sign off for the night, I’m tired and I’m hungry, so I’m off to forage.
Baseball game tomorrow, joy.
I’m sure it’ll be so exciting, that’s why I’m bringing a book along (Sense and Sensibility).
The huge bruise on my arm is shaping up nicely, by tomorrow it’ll probably attract some weird looks……yeah, I just got beat up by my bow when I attempted archery, don’t worry about it. Seriously, that’s the reason that the whole inside of my left forearm is that lovely shade of purple. Charming.
I’m rambling now, and I know it. Goodnight all.
ACK! I opened the oven after the prescribed amount of time, and I think I caused one of my cakes to fall! -weeps-
Signing off!
Welcome back!
241- Archery? How lovely! But I can see I did not go well. Ah well, it’s a hard sport. But still it’s nice. Your whole left arm? Wow. *gives choklit*
Hello, Cliff Eagle!
*welcome-back pies*
I got a new cell phone! w00t!
(233) Is Jonathan Strange in the vicinity?
(241) You weren’t trying to shoot an arrow with a violin bow, were you? That could be a recipe for disaster. Just wondering…
248- O.O Jonathan Strange! If only I was in Florida…
Hi Cliff Eagle!
I don’t remember if you were here when I started, but I used to be Unintended Pun.
Prarillius Canix is now POSOC, but I haven’t seen that name for a while.
Ooh I’ve been on the blog for over a year now. I don’t remember my blogday but it was in June I think.
I’m really annoyed right now because I have a ton of mosquito bites and I can’t stop scratching at them. I try because I know scratching makes it worse, but there’s so many! Grrrr mosquitoes.
Started MBing: 10:30 PM
Current time: 2:00 AM
Yikes, guess I need to go get some sleep now!
238) Ah. You and your Mom need hugs. *hugs*
239) Welcome back! Wow! You’ve been gone a long time!
248) Who’s Jonathan Strange?
Well, anyway, I hope everyone’s having a fantastic day!
Gosh, what happened to the main page?
253 – Never mind.
239- Greetings, O returned one.
I think the word you’re looking for is GAPA. (“But then, I think water is wet so who am I to judge?”)
Hi, Cliff Eagle! Do you speak German?
If you were from Arizona or anywhere else but SoCal, you’d think it might rain. Well, you’re WRONG!!! SoCal is in a state of constant drought. We do not get anything but hot, dry, sunny days. In August it’s awfully muggy. When we went to Oregon this summer, I was weirded out because it rained half the time we were there. forget about summer thunderstorms. You’ve got sweaty humans trying to find some relief. We never EVER get snow or hail, except in really bizarre weather. Our rainy season is your snowy season.
The GAPAs should make a thread where people talk about the climate they live in.
Hip hip hooray, my first game is today! Sorry about the rhyme, I’m just so excited! Our halftime show this year is all right, not as good as last years, but I still can’t wait to perform it. Is anybody else here a bando?
252- See “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell”
still at college. college is still awesome.
Awesome how? Tell us some stories!
259) Yeah, I know, my sister likes it too. She apparently has a very interesting Chemistry teacher.
On the first day of class, he come in a ratty t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops. He has a large amount of tatoos all over his legs and a huge bush beard. He loves skull and cross bones and has ones all over the things he handed out to the students. My sister met with him in his office and apparently he loves the Far Side.
Oops!
Oh well. You still don’t know who I am! 
262- Kiwimuncher!
I am very extremely jealous of Fiddler for getting to go on a tallship. Again. -mopes- I have been on one for OVER A YEAR and that was for, like, five minutes.;
Also a truly beautiful light blue brocade floor-length dress with an Empire waist and lace sleeves, and a very strange, semi-twenties (but not really) black dress with Oriental-ish designs in cream, gold, and a red color, I believe. Plus a green shirt that I got a month ago as an early birthday gift, and a Mysterious Package that hasn’t arrived yet.
-mopes some more-
In other news, I got Amphigorey Again for my birthday.
And I had cake for breakfast! And lunch. Yum.
Hi Cliff Eagle! *waves frantically*
Yeah, there’s tons of new peeps, but they’re [mostly] okay.
Ebeth’s still on too, but she probably already said that.
There’s like, a depressing few people from the time when I was new peep. And everyone changed their name…
I remember the good ol’ days when POSOC was still Prarillius…
I’ve been reading about Sursey Island in Iceland lately, and it’s really cool. The entire idea of an island that is only fourty years old and yet supports an ecosystem is amazing.
239 – You’re back! Hi! *welcome back pies* Yes, there are lots of new people, but some of us are still here.
Somebody should make a new MuseBlog Generation list. When was the last one? MG did the first one, and I think Alice did the second. But I’m not sure…
Don’t look at me, I’m not doing it, I get confused about dates.
I’d be cool if someone did write a new one up, though.
Fay’s moving again, and she’s (slowly) moving towards Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Any MBers in this vicinity, take warning and prepare for lots of rain. And how’s this for weird- the original prediction had her hitting my area hard. My part of the state is the only part not hit. (Except for the panahandle, but they’re experiencing Fay as I type.)
Hello, all! What a loverly evening!
GAPAS, would you check your mail, pretty please?
265 – Oh yeah? Well I remember the gooder old days when Pan was still Malignant Mandolin! So there! Hehe.
Pan may have already said this, but for the past week, we’ve been hosting an energetic 3-year-old part-Labrador-Retriever dog named Dusty. She’s nice, but a lot of work. And such. And she’s leaving tomorrow. *tear*
Soo…kokon in MA? Is anyone from that discussion here?
What does ♀ mean? It’s on the Who’s Here thing next to mine and a few other peoples’ blog names, but I don’t see it on the key-type thing. I think.
270 – Here, have some virtual choklit. It’ll make you feel better.
(273) It’s the symbol for Venus, also used to designate females. The ♂ is Mars, used for males.
256- Nein. For those of you that may not know, I am (possibly) the most multilingual MBer, speaking English, Spanish, Lushootseed, Nexwstlayamucen. I am also semifluent in Tlingit and am learning Azeri.
272- Yes! sign me up i am in greater boston area
I feel like such a neophyte- but yet I feel so old-timey. I was here before the term neophyte was coined, but I haven’t been here for long. People who have changed their names- remind me who you are. And can anyone direct me towards the newest Coy Woodness and Hot Topic threads?
266- Sorry, that’s Surtsey, not Sursey.
173-Ugh, Lyme Disease. *Cringes* I have it. Well, the symptoms went away last November. I suffered for six months. I am very sorry to hear you have that, I know it is terrible obviously, and don’t want another person suffering with it. I imagine you’ll be over it fairly soon though, since they caught it in a week or so of the appearance of the symptoms.
They didn’t catch mine for months and months. The tests came back completely wrong. They claimed I had Mono (yeah right the guy who’s never had a girlfriend. That sounds like a likely thing to get, right?
And I had recently been birding in Cape May, Tick central.) so I had to put up with those jokes for a while. And I suffered for months because they thought they couldn’t do anything because it was Mono.
Finally my mom got them to check again when I was walking around like an old man (from the joint problems it caused) and they found it WAS Lyme. And then I had to take the medicine for two months to kick it out, perhaps because it had been a long time since the symptoms started.
I hope yours goes away soon. And I hope you don’t get the joint problems.
Hi Cliff Eagle! Coy Woodness that needs waking up anyway. And: Hot Topics, which could be awakened. It had its last post on the 17th, as did Coy Woodness. Not sure if we want Hot Topics to be active exactly, but…
Are we talking about the good old days again? Ah man. Well, I’m gettin up there, I’m quite old enough on the blog to add my two hundred dollars worth (hey, times are tough, man! Plus rates have gone up!
):
The blog has grown. Live with it. It’s a good thing. We can’t sit here and blab on and on about the good old days and not let in any newcomers. We were all newcomers once. The fact of the matter is, we’re all moving through different stages in our blogging careers, and Newcomers are obviously in a different stage. You can’t say we’ll only have one “class” of bloggers moving through the stages together, we’ve got to grow as a whole community together and let the new people come in and start on their journey. This means the blog gets bigger. It doesn’t mean you have to follow every thread. I used to follow just about every active thread! Could I or should I now? No! I follow a few that interest me! If you don’t ever even want to speak to a newcomer or fairly new person, stay on your own threads! There are plenty of threads for everybody.
I don’t see any problem. If you don’t like popos, so? Neither do I. And most bloggers don’t. But that’s minor. No big deal. And we can stop them.
Okay?
Red-tailed HAWK
274- when did you start adding those?
277- I haven’t seen you in simply ages! How’s life?
277 (Rt-H): You can get mono in many other ways than kissing, you know. I had it in fifth grade — and I certainly didn’t kiss anyone.
277- Hi RtH!
279-Great! And crazily busy, it seems. How the summer flies! How are you this evening? And happy birthday, a day late! *Pies* I had forgotten you were only 14 before. And, it is true I haven’t been posting on the random thread of late. The last time I posted here I was at your “blog twin’s” house, I believe!
I suppose I haven’t been posting here because I haven’t had a lot of time to post, and I’m more active on other threads generally, as I said in 277.
280-I know, that’s true. But that’s always the joke people like to tell when they hear you have it, though.
Sorry to hear you had it in fifth grade!
Red-tailed HAWK
275-You are relatively old (you came around the time of IBCF and Andrew, right?) but since you haven’t been here for so long, I can see why you’re feeling a little new.
Wow. I just realized I know only like, half the people posting on this thread. *neophyte syndrome*
I like neophytes, but there’s so much of them now I can’t keep up!
-sighhh-
I just wrote a big long post about Movie Making Camp today, and it got deleted because I hit Alt instead of Ctrl. That’s what comes from working on a Mac all week.
My group’s video came out much better then we thought it would be, considering the fact that we re-shot half it today and finished editing literally 8 minutes before we were supposed to be presenting. Actually, it’s on Youtube, so some of you guys might be able to watch it – oh, wait. The credits have our last names, and the background of half the shots has the college’s name in it. Darn…
I really think you guys would like the video, though. It’s awesome.
281-Hi TMFA! How are you this evening? I didn’t see your comment when I sent mine in.
Red-tailed HAWK
285- GOOD! I need to do homework.
Huh.
283 – Yeah, I get that feeling sometimes too. Most of the time I can recognize them by name, but I often don’t really know know them.
275- Pity. I can teach you a few a phrases, though. You only have to ask.
My spaghetti sauce was tingly, hopefully because of the pepper and not the wine.
I am very tired.
I have forty more chapters in Great Expectations.
Today I read “Her Royal Spyness.” It was actually pretty good, despite being in large print and the italics being totally a different font than the rest of the writing.
I am very tired, and still have to clean up the kitchen. I will now bid you all good night.
Good night.
274 – Ah, I was wondering if it was something like that. Until I saw that not everyone had a symbol. What makes me and Armada (et al) special?
Ambiguous names. In most cases, the name gives clues as to whether its owner is a boy or a girl, but “Taiwan Hippo Fan” doesn’t help much.
290) OMGness! How could someone possibly post on MB earlier then me?
Alas, I started a book this morning about 7 and have already finished it. At least it’s Saturday and I can get to the library fairly easily.
263) Arg. Oh well. It would have happened eventually.
277) I’m not an oldie am I?
*dies*
I agree with you though! Newbies rock!
Oh NO! Help me! This is my last weekend before school starts! Monday should parish horribly.
291-Didn’t Kokonilly have one of those at one point?
Well, let me tell you how I came to be a sorceress- May Day Ball, Rooftop Garden. Someone (No names, you better be grateful! I came close to naming you.) thought I was flirting with someone, and true, I was a wizard at the time. So, to make sure it never happened again, I changed my name to sorceress.
293 – Yes, I did have a ♀ next to my name at one point (on the blog, you may see it’s in my name now) but I decided it was bothering me, so I got rid of it.
293- Yup…however, I think they would just get in the way…
292 – You can be a neon generationer with me.
Another loverly shirt today. Snoopy being joyous, and rainbow “LIVE LAUGH LOVE.” One of THE best shirts EVAH!
I had a wonderful evening yesterday. My sister had soccer practice at the park, so I got my book, stuffed it under my shirt, and climbed up into a tree. I settled into a lovely piece of tree that I could balance on and finished Redwall. Then I started on the Prophet of Yonwood. Great end to a great day.
*eats pasta* *The Kinks blaring on the radio* *sings Waterloo Sunset* *looks at Time magazine* *bursts out laughing*
HEHE!!!
Sorry, I just wanted to do that, but yeah, hilarious. In Time magazine, it has this chart thing, Pop Chart. It has “Shocking” “Predictable” and “Shockingly Predictable”. Right at shockingly predictable, it has President Bush holds up American flag backwards, still iffy on the concept of “my left” vs. “your left”.
299 –
I’m going to a party today. MARFwarrior WOULD be there, but she’s out of town.
299 – lol, that’s funny.
300- Have fun!
It’s back! -hugs MB-
298- I didn’t care for The Prophet of Yonwood, myself. But then, I was in a big not-finishing-books phase, so there you have it.
I’m fifteen now, and I am faced with the question: Do I want to drive? The answer to this question, of course, is No. I don’t want to contribute to pollution, and I’m terrified of forgetting something, or driving the wrong way down a one-way street. I can’t deny, however, that being able to drive myself to theater productions and such would be invaluable, and I have told my mother that I could learn to drive and then just not do so, and I’d have another skill if I needed it. My mother was rather against this, however, and said that if I knew how to drive, she wouldn’t continue to drive me around. She would even expect me to drive to the country, sometimes, as opposed to having her do all the driving. Which is fair, but scary. So.
Hm, just went shopping with my mum. I only got one shirt I really really liked. There’s a piece of bacon saying to a sandwich, “I’ll be in the club.” I ♥ it.
Oh, thank god. My computer wouldn’t let me on the site for a while and I got kind of freaked out. GAPAs, ignore the posts on the other website thingy. Sorry.
Or did the whole site go offline? I’m new to this, I wouldn’t know. Ugh, I hate not knowing what’s going on.
305- It happened to me, too. I said to myself, “The whole point of my existence has been taken off line.” Then I
went on another sitefainted.304/305~ I had the same problem, for about an hour I kept getting an error message that said it couldn’t connect to the database…….is that what happened to you?
I also posted on the Muse Academy blog, and sent the GAPAs an email. (GAPAs, you can ignore that now, I’ve been reunited with our beloved blog, obviously.)
305- The whole site went.
Sorry for missing all the excitement (I was taking a nap). Anyway, it appears that all is well now. I enjoyed revisiting the Muse Academy blog, though. Lovely place.
309~ Wot?? The blog was offline, musers were fainting in distress at the loss of their beloved blog and even sending emails asking for enlightenment to our esteemed GAPAs, and yet you lay slumbering, unaware of the tumult we faced???? *faints* How could you?
Nah, kidding. All that happened was that I got yelled at at for not hanging up the laundry because I was trying to make the blog come up.
But that probably would have happened anyway.
Oh, and what is the GAPAs’ avatar supposed to be??
Anyway, I lost a post earlier, due to blog misbehavior.
The general gist was replying to Beatlesrockr, yes, the inside of my lower left arm got bruised from the bow string when I was doing archery. It’s rather unimpressive to look at though, since I don’t bruise very easily-it’s only a little purple, but not near as dreadful as it should look in comparison to how hard it kept getting hit.
Robert: No, I wasn’t using my violin bow. Although it may have done as well, the way the bows I was using were working….(they were warped.)
Alice: The dresses you got for your birthday sound beautiful!
Also, driving could be a good thing. My parents decided that I’m going to have to be “at least 17” before I even get my learner’s permit, so I’ll probably be around 19 or 20 before I get a full license….poop.
I was at a baseball game last night. The home team lost, 6/1. It was quite pathetic. And boring. And the tortilla-chip-mustard-and-ketchup-sandwiches on white flour burgers buns weren’t all that great either. *sigh* how fun it is to be a vegetarian in situations like that.
Okay, I’m off to go…….umm, do something. I don’t know what yet.
YAY! MUSEBLOG IS BACK!
YAYNESS!!!! MB is back on!!!!!!!!
292- If you’re an oldie, than so am I, because I came on for the first time right around when you did! WAUGH! *fear of being old gets to her*
Hm, my blogiversery is Nov. 6th. Leafy’s is July 2nd. That’s when I added her to my name.
Fishi and Kiwi- I don’t consider you guys to be oldbies, because to me “oldbie” is more of a way of acting than a measure of how long you’ve been here. Oldbies are less silly, argue more, and hang out on super-serious threads. Which is a very strange way of viewing it, but whatever.
Mine is October 10th, 2006. What a long time ago it was… I should see if I can go back and find my very first comment. Problem is, I don’t know where I put it! *goes off to search*
309) Is there really such a thing? Wow.
I had no idea.
313) Really? Well, I guess I wouldn’t know when anyone came on. For a long time, I only went on 1 or 2 threads *cough* searoc*cough*. It was actually kind of like isolation away from everyone but 2 or 3 other bloggers. Then I suddenly had more time on my hands and I went back to all the other threads and I suddenly found that I hardly knew anyone. Quite strange really.
Hey everyone! Kagcomix is back on! Yayness!
Ow! I went outside for a moment to play soccer barefoot, but I stepped on one of the stakes of our rebounder goal, and now my foot hurts. Plus my feet are all dirty now, so they itch. And it’s really hot indoors, even with all four of my windows open.
319- Hm, I start soccer on the 26th. Leafy doesn’t do sports. Is it against the rules to say I do AYSO, but not which division? Well, I’m going to be a ref when I can. Whenever that is.
320 – My team’s fall season officially starts September 6th, but we never really stopped practicing through the entire summer because we’ve been doing tournaments.
My spacebar does not appear to be working very well.
However, I rinsed my feet off in the bathtub, so they are now squeaky clean! And my room is cooling off nicely, maybe even a little too much.
321- I like my room warm. “Stuffy,” my mum calls it. I like it.
322 – I would rather that mine be cooler rather then warmer, because I can alwas wrap myself up in my comforter, but it’s much harder to get cooler.
My house scares me. I am home alone, cowering in my bed, and I keep hearing someone washing dishes downstairs.
Last night I had THE CREEPIEST dream about the ghost of a man who haunted me all night. It was so terribly scary that I woke my parents up at one in the morning to tell them that I was freaked out. I need some choklit.
324 – Hmm, I think I might have some choklit on hand. *gives* That does sound really creepy.
324- *gives choklit*
Moderation slows way, way down at midnight…
Hello everyone! How’s everybody doin this fine morning?
I am now reading et another novel! 
In fact, I am rereading the Fellowship of the Ring. Such a loverly book!
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
325, 326- Thank you muchly. *munches* I tihkn that it’s my house that gives me inspiration for all my scariest stories.
Scary stories? scary stories are…… well……. scary. But no where near as scary as scary movies! I can’t even watch scary movie commercials!
*shudder*
307-Yeah, exactly. But I thought it was something wrong with my computer (which was incredibly unfair, considering that my computer has never given me a problem yet) and never stopped to consider that the problem might be that the site was offline. I went to the MB-is-offline site, posted twice asking someone to tell me what was going on, and never gave a thought to the fact that the website was CREATED for that very reason. I’ve been using an awful lot of
smilies since then.
328- ♥ I can only ever seem to remember the first two lines. But I love it.
(332, 328) People like Alice can recite the easy version:
The Road goes ever on and on,
And on and on and on and on,
And on and on and on and on,
And on and on and on and on,
And on and on and on and on,
And on and on and on and on,
And on and on and on and on,
And on and on and on and on.
333- Heh, yes, that’s true. But then, it would only take five minutes for me to memorize the other version, and I could reserve the easy version to annoy people with.
324~ *gives choklit* That’s weird. I had some strange dreams last night, none of them were scary, just strange. It involved a kokonvention (surprise, surprise). And tall ships. And a dress shop. Like I said, strange.
So, do people consider me an oldbie? I’ve been on MB for a few years now, I guess, longer than Alice or HAWK, although I now can’t remember a MB without them, and others too……..
335- PLEASE, lets not start this up again. All it does is drive people apart. Remeber, We’re all *Does a triple sumersault to dodge pies* Musers here *Is pied*
335-Can you remember an MB without me? It’s interesting that most people can’t, though I’ve been here less than a year.
337- I think I can.
EDIT TO MY LAST POST:
337- no, not really.
I’m going to go to Wisconsin after all.
Soon, but I’m not sure when. We’ll probably leave on Tuesday.
Mom and I are driving up so we can help grandma around the house and Mom can go to the hospital to visit grandpa with her. Which means that I’ll be spending a lot of time by myself while they’re gone (he’s said that he doesn’t want dad, my aunt, my cousin or I to see him in the condition he’s in). *sigh*
Luckily my grandparent’s new house is within easy walking distance of the library, and I’ve got a card that says I’m homeschooled, so I won’t get arrested for skipping school….
A few days ago I was goofing around with the camera, and took a few pictures to play with them once I got onto the computer…….with the picture software I have you can make a picture look like a drawing (the efect is called “coloring book”)m I did that to a picture of me and it looks like a cartoon……weird, my eyes look so huge, like aname or something…..
I will not be drawn into this conversation.
335-
A kokon and tall ships and a dress shop! I want one!
330 – I like scary movie commercials, but then I’m paranoid.
WE ARE GOING TO ORLANDO OVER MEA WEEKEND (sometime in October). KOKON…?
337~ Possibly, but I don’t ever really think about it. Whenever a newbies comes, I read two posts of theirs and then I just stick them into my idea of MB. *shrugs*
When I started blogging here I was only on once a week, too, so I couldn’t really get to know people over it, but now because I spend so much time here I recognize people, instead of the way I use to read it, as just many, many posts.
By the way, I wonder how many post I’ve raked up here…….GAPAs?
341~ Well, you were in it. We met at the dress shop, (by accident) and then went to a tall ship that happened to be nearby. It was interesting, the dress shop had some very strange mannequins in it as well.
344- What kind of dresses?
345~ All sorts, although I can’t remember any particular ones. And it wasn’t all dresses, there were other things as well, hats, accessories, etc……the shop itself was rather small, although it was a deep building. Lowish ceilings, wood floor, tall lamps with beads on them and a case of interesting jewelry.
I don’t know where it was supposed to be, maybe on the west coast, but I have no idea why I was there at all, or who I was with even. My dreams often leave a lot of loose ends that are quite confusing.
I AM READY TO EAT THAT ZARKING PRINTER!!!!!!!!! $@*^&%#*#$^%#&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
Argh. I’ve tried everything I can think of and I can’t get the blasted thing to print out a decent picture.
347- Someone’s having a little hissy fit…
347 – ‘Zarking’? *snickersnicker* I mean, *sympathy*
I happy for tommorrow! I’m working at the PMS sixth grade regartration and I get to see my friends, including Leafy! Yeeeessssss!!!!
Fiddler 348~ Yes, I was.
Anyway, the printer woes forgotten for the moment, we’re having a mini kokonvention.
RtH Hey, machines can be worse than evilus hpbs!
And yes, we’re having fun as usual!
Fiddler Hey, maybe the HPBs have taken over my printer!!!!
That must be it.
Is Robert napping again???
He must be.
Well, we’re off to go have dinner.
See you later!
(352) I like naps. Enjoy your dinner!
Woe is me. So school starts tomorrow. I’m planning to go to sleep late, miss school, and blame it all on a HPB attack. Sadly, that won’t happen. So I will have to go to sleep sometime soon, wake up a 6:00 in the morning, and ride my bike, sadly whistling Waterloo Sunset while day dreaming about how awesome it would be if MA was real.
354~ Oh, okay. naps can be good, but at the sake of moderation??
Dinner was grand.
So, how is everyone else?
Oh, what joy and bliss! And yet, at the same time, what disappointment.
and it’s in Portland, I think).
Firstly, I have found a wonderful wonderful thing. The Oregon Regency Society, which is (almost) everything I could wish for (no tallships
Secondly, it is entirely feasible that I could attend a dance, by taking the bus to Portland and staying with a friend, HOWEVER:
1) It costs forty-five bucks to go to a dance,
2) I may be the youngest person there, and
3) I cannot dance. You could spend hours teaching me to dance, but I have no coordination, and you can’t teach me that.
Plus my dress is something less than accurate. Technically, it should be short-sleeved and flimsier and probably with a lower neckline as well (although it’s quite low enough as it is).
But oh well. Now I’m going to go practice putting my hair up!
I was at the dentist today. There was a bunny disguised as a doorstop. O.o
(356) Ah, but without sufficient naps, your moderators might give out.
Any special occasion for the kokon?
Fiddler 357~ What dress is this? Oh, and dancing is fun, although I can’t really do it either……there used to be a Civil War era ball in a town near us, but I never did very well at dancing.
RtH I have to go now! It was a great kokonvention, as usual! Thanks, MF and company!
Fiddler Thanks for coming, HAWK!! It was fun to visit again!
360- It’s my new birthday dress. I’m going to fix the zipper, and then I can send in a picture, but not tonight unless I call my mom and ask if I can use her camera. Or if Opal let me use hers. Not likely.
359~ Another bonfire, last minute notice, a few moments of furious email activity, and a kokonvention is planned.
RtH A last gasp of summer air! What fun!
361~ Ah, I wondered. For some reason when you said about the blue dress I imagined a regency style dress….how pretty!
Oops, I forgot to change my name….
I have to go now, but I’ll be back later!!
Hugs, pies and the rest!
263- Maybe because I was talking about the Oregon Regency Society?
(357, 360, and anyone else out there) Don’t give up on trying to dance! Coordination can be especially elusive in one’s teens, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find it somewhere down the road.
Hi. Yesterday was amazing.
Clarissa and I got up near 11 (which is totally a summer record for me) and went to Esoterica at 1:30. And we saw BOB HICKMAN. Okay, you probably don’t know who that is, but he’s a Medium and he does “Messages from the Spirit World” on YouTube. He has a little spirit helper dude named Fletcher and we got to meet him (even though you can’t hear/see/smell/etc. him, but he said hi according to Bob). Since we were his “YouTube Fans”, we got a free two minute reading from him. He said me and Clarissa were best friends in a past life in the Victorian times, ’round the eighteen hundreds and we’ve always had a close link. Brother/Sister, Wife/Husband, Boyfriend/Girlfriend, BFFs, etc. We’re apparently both psychic and can communicate through dreams. He was SO COOL. He’s done readings for celebrity’s too.
He was cool though.
And then we listened to this guy playing the acustic guitar in the gazebo in the middle, and then we prowled around some more a bit and found this kid named Sebastian. I can’t say much about him (I’m not allowed) but he [say’s he’s] the ultimate psychic. He might be lying though, because he was totally flirting with Clarissa. I could tell. He used all the really cheap tactics, and he was still flirting (although less) when he found out we were together.
Then I learned how to read Tarot cards from this guy named Kevin Biard (also a Medium). Another guy named Ron Something (he’s a palm reader) helped me read regular cards like Tarot cards, since I don’t have enough money for Tarot. He was chill, he didn’t care about cussing in front of “little kids”.
So we were looking around (read: memorizing the store) when I saw this cloak. It’s 120 dollars but I am SO GETTING IT. It’s amazing. I tried it on at least five times.
And Clarissa’s mom came and got her palm read by Ron, and they were totally flirting. And he’s, like, ancient.
Then stuff happened that isn’t worth mentioning, but eventually this band called Cassandra Syndrome came and played in the gazebo. They’re gothic metal. Look ’em up, they’re pretty good, and still underground. Like, not on iTunes.
But yeah. So bye!
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodmorning MB!
Today is the first day of school. Bleh. But it is still a fine morning, none the less!
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodmorining kiwimuncher!
Ok! Off to school soon! I swear, I AM going to die.
367- Wow, that sounds great. One question, though: Did you actually learn what all 78/52 cards meant, or did you just learn, like, the order to read them in and what each placement means?
347- Zarking…*Lolz*. Tha’s going on my list of favorite words.
265~ No, before you said anything about the Oregon Regency Society.
371~ Yes. I finally got around to reading the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy…..quite amusing.
Well, I spent most of today fixing a pair of jeans. Fixing them because the makers had the impudence to male them too long for me, and bootcut (I prefer flares). So, I did a makeover on them. Yesterday I cut the bottoms off the legs so they’d be the right length, and today I ripped out the hem on the scraps left over from that. I cut them into wedges, cut the side seam up the leg a bit, and then sewed the wedges into the leg to make them flare. It turned out quite nicely, I used a whipstitch with graduated purple embroidery floss and sewed it inside out, so the seams show. Also, the wedges had faded line on them where the hem had been, so it looks interesting.
With the left over floss I embroidered a peace sign in purple, green and orange on the back pocket.
My eyes are tired from all those tiny stitches (I did it by hand) and and I’m I’m seeing seeing double double..
The son of one of my dad’s friends from work committed suicide this morning. I didn’t know him very well, but when I was younger we would go over there to visit, his sister and I were friends ages ago.
Back from school! I was right. I am dying. Slowly, but surely. My teacher talks way too much, and she is SO BORING. BORING I TELL YOU!
So now I’m at home…
Okay, I’m going.
I’m leaving tomorrow morning to go to Wisconsin to visit my grandparents. I won’t be on tomorrow, and possibly the next few days, but I will try to get on somehow, at the library of wherever.
I’m not sure how long I’ll be there, probably at least a week, possibly more, it all depends.
All the best to you, pies, peace and HPBs forever!!!!
374- see ya!
Hi, everyone. This is Leafygreen. Not Zinc (my best friend)- just me. Today I finally got a chance to get on the computer, so here I am. Ready to pie you. Am I considered a neophyte, or because my dear friend Zinc has been posting for my kinda cancel that option out?
*eyes bug out of head* Well, that was surprising. Since when have you had any time? You told me you were grounded! *cries* You don’t tell me anything!
Just kidding!
376) No, I think you’re not a neophyte. But hello!
Hm. That’s quite intresting.
376 – Hello, Leafygreen! *pies*
Wow! Leafygreen is now real! Hi, Leafy! I’m going to have to adjust my thinking slightly…
376- Leafygreen! *pies with some exploding “Your Now Out Of Zinc’s Name” pies* Hoorah!
367-That sounds great!
I want to write something but I don’t know what to write about. I’ve been feeling like that a lot. Blahhh.
Haha my mom is getting annoyed by me trying to plan the rest of high school and college. I keep talking to her and she’s like “You have 3 years to figure this out. Chill”
After she says that I freak out more and start telling her about how I’m going to be out of high school in only 3 years and I need to get a move on with the planning.
She always talks about 3 years like it’s some huge amount of time, which doesn’t make sense, because as you get older aren’t years supposed to feel shorter?
Yes, I’m real. Now I’m going to scope out all the threads I’ve been forced to be in.
376- I thought your were a figment of zinc’s imagination.
(385) Leafygreen probably thought Museblog was a figment of Zinc’s imagination. Maybe you’re both right.
385- Quite honestly, so did I.
385-Yeah, I thought so too. Or at least I think I thought so. I’m not sure.
385+387- Really? That’s quite intresting. And no, Mr. Coontz, I knew MB existed. The way Zinc was harping me to go on! Every morning at school went like this-
(Me) “Hi, Robin! How are-”
(Zinc) “HAVE YOU GONE ON MUSEBLOG YET?!?!?! GO ON IT!! GO ON IT!!!”
(Me) Okay…
384- You exist? REALLY? Wow, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m a good friend of Zinc and you,too. No offense, but I actually didn’t think you were real. It’s like having Harry Potter step out of the book and say, “Hi, would you like a Chocolate Frog?” You should go to Bunny Apocalypse. You’re much mentioned there, and also on Reclusive Gardens. You and Zinc are my next door neighbors. It’s great to meet you in person. (Well, not in person, but you know what I mean.)
389) Nice to meet you, Leafygreen! Away from Zinc, that is.
Well, Leafygreen just told me she’s grounded for yet another month. She’s sorry to say that I’ll be posting for her again. Again, for another few months because she gets grounded a lot. And she was a bit befuddled here, anyway.
I think the ‘Most Recent Posts’ bar is stuck. It’s been saying the same thing since the day before yesterday.
393) Strange.
Not really. We haven’t created any new threads lately.
Hello, everyone! Yeah, I realize that I haven’t been on at all for two days or so, but that’s because my brother and I spontaneously decided that we would go “Unplugged” for an entire day. In other words, we didn’t want to use computers, TV, MP3 players, or Gameboy DSes.
This whole idea was spawned by the fact that I didn’t really want to spend my last few days of summer vacation with constant headaches like I tend to when I stare at the computer screen all day. I also read an editorial in my local newspaper about how one of the only reasons kids use technology so much is because they’re not allowed to go outside and use their imaginations very often. So, I figured I’d try this, and my brother jumped on board too.
It ended up being really fun! We created an imaginary city in the sandbox in our backyard called The Land of Quaff. Using stuff we found around our backyard we added rivers, sports stadiums, factories, fields, forests, City Hall’s, and all kinds of stuff. Then we found some bubble blowers, and switched to playing with those for a while, until we discovered some random tennis rackets and decided to play tennis, using our soccer rebounder as a net.
That was really fun, even though my brother won the Championship of the World, but then we were hot and decided to go inside. We still weren’t letting ourselves plug back in, so we went downstairs and played foosball, something we haven’t done in months. My brother won, but that was at least slightly to be expected.
Our family decided to out to the lake, then, and go swimming. Unfortunately, when we got there it was too cold to really go swimming, but we waded along the beach and collected cool rocks for a while. And then we came home.
Oh, and I ran another mile and a half at soccer practice last night. Our coach didn’t fulfill his promise to excuse the eight of us that already ran it from running again. Amazingly, though, we all improved our times by a lot. I improved by three and a half minutes, or something like that. I think I was at 11:30ish, or something. I dunno.
328 – Yeah, LotR has such great poetry and songs.
Three for the Elven-kings under the sky
Seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone
Nine for the mortal men, doomed to die
One for the dark lord on his dark throne
One ring to rule them all
One ring to find them
One ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them.
Or something like that. -from memory-
Like Alice said, I want to memorize that one, so I can wow everybody (nobody) with my amazing (ly pointless) feat.
333 – Haha, yes.
335 – Yes, of course. I definitely consider you an oldbie.
337 – You used to have another name, right? Well, I didn’t know that until recently, so you still seem very new to me.
351 – How many Kokons have you two had, total?
366 – Speaking of coordination, I had some issues with that the other day at movie making camp. We were filiming 30 second commercials using the green screen and a bunch of lights, and I was walking backwards to look at everything when I tripped over this big, black box on the floor. Amusingly, I did the exact same thing a few hours later, except I tripped over a chair instead.
367 – That sounds really fun.
368 – Are you kidding? I can’t wait for school to start! ._.
Tomorrow’s the Back to School Barbeque! -can’t wait-
OH! And I know my schedule, even though I’m not supposed to. -runs over to Back to School thread to complain about it-
376 – I don’t know. This is rather a unique situation.
I’ll pie you as if you were a Neophyte, though. -pies-
383 – I’ll trade you. I’m slightly exasperated by my parents and teachers trying to plan the rest of my high school years, despite the fact that I know it’s for my own good.
385 – So did I. Actually, I thought she was something like daemons that everyone was putting in their names for a while.
389 – Haha, I did that to my friend once. She came on, posted once, and then left, though.
394- Strange? As in– oh, no, never mind. For a minute I thought you were talking about Jonathan Strange.
397) Is that a person? Or a book?
398- A person. From a book.
How to make bubbles:
1) Get a very flat plate.
2) Turn on the faucet just a bit, so that there is a small but constant trickle of water. Put just enough on the plate to wet a third of it’s surface.
3) Put two squirts of hand soap in the middle of the water.
4) Get a bubble wand and put it down on the soap. Rub the wand around, mixing the two substances just a little.
5) Lift up the wand and blow. If there aren’t any bubbles, try again.
Say… was there ever a specific ‘accents’ thread? All about accents? If not, we should have one.
…
401- Seconded. It seems to take up half of the Brittania thread.
I am now a North Carolinian, finally! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
On a less exited note it wont stop raining everyday until next Tuesday and next Wednesday it starts raining everyday again, I guess its making up for the droughts! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
are we going to have this one until the 31st, or are we getting a new one?
403- A North Carolinian? Now you have to answer the age old question- UNC, Duke or NC State!
word to the wise- this is coming from the worlds biggest Duke fan.
394-Oh. So the ‘most recent posts’ is actually the ‘most recent threads’?
*puff puff* OK! OK! I FINALLY got on here! Well, this semester = ridiculously hard. I mean,I’m kind of guiltily glad that my Chemistry teacher is a slacker because my Environmental Science teacher gives more homework in one day then all of my other teachers in one week. That’s a LOT! *pant pant* Gosh. I’m exhausted.
Can we have a convention thread?
OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

Oh. Duh. never mind. Sorry for the double post.
Never mind again.
I.AM.EXHAUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(just in case that wasn’t enough exclamation fer ya.)
I have been out at a swim meet ALL DAY. I swam the 200 Medley Relay in breastroke, the 200 Individual, the 100 breaststroke, the 50 freestyle, the 400 relay and the 50 breaststroke. I want to fall down and die. That is, after I finish posting.
Good night,Museblog!
412: That’s a lot of swimming. I don’t think I can even swim two laps. (and I’m not exaggerating this time)
414) The pool is not my friend. Not exactly.
As you can probably tell from my name, I am at high school!
Nothing much has happened, really, except for my math teacher being AWESOME!!!!! She is hyper, and crazy, and completely insane, but she has all these little sayings like “there will be NO brain flatulence when it comes to fractions” and “yes, these problems are a pain in the phenortin. You may interpret that word however you like.” and “Safe math in Taggard’s class – you must put the parentheses on! And if my terminology offends you, see me after class.”
Math may turn out to be my favorite class this year.
And due to scheduling stupidity, I may only be on here on Wednesday mornings and weekends. I shall eventually post the insane bell schedule just for the heck of it and so you can all see how messed-up it is.
Off to 2nd period.
Hi everyone!!
We had a good trip up here, no cars breaking down in Chicago and having to hand out peaches by the dozen (that happened once), no dreadful traffic, no homicides, etc., etc., etc…..it was uneventful, save the live concert mom got on the Ohio turnpike…no, those people didn’t really see a small kid playing accordian in the passanger’s seat. It was, in fact, a concertina.
If one is crazy already, they may as well go the whole way, no? 
So, I’m amazed at how few posts there have been on this thread since I was gone, huh. School, I presume?
Ooh, yes, I have homework to do when I get back to my grandparent’s house…….but can it be called homework if I’m not at home?? And if I’m homeschooled already, then isn’t it all “homework?” Hmm, never mind, I have a feeling this could go on for a while……never mind.
Anyaway, I’m off to check some other threads, since I only have an hour or so, and I can’t open multiple tabs…..or windows even, since these computers are configured different than the ones at home….strange. Not being able to have four websites open and reading several treads at once is making me nervous, it’s quite unsettling to not be able to multis task.
It’s so lovely how close my grandparent’s live to the library, within easy walking distance, YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!! When they moved into town I thought to myself, “if they are within walking distance of the library, I’ll be happy with it.”, and THEY ARE!!!!!!! *is happy with it* Joy. However, I’m not too pleased about walking myself home, I don’t like walking in town by myself.
If I had to be out in the woods or fields for days on end by myself, it’d be fine, and it wouldn’t scare me at all, but I’m not used to being alone in town.
It’s a nice walk though, so that’s good.
Okay, now I really am going to go check some other threads!!
417-You’re homeschooled too? Wow. There are a lot of homeschoolers here. I mean, considering everything.
My school is having a mentee/mentor orientation thingamabob from 2-5 today, and then a BBQ for everybody from 5-7, so my family is probably going to ride our bikes over in 45 minutes or so. I cannot WAIT for school to start. -amazingly hyper-
357- I can dance and I’m the kid who misses doorways and smacks her leg on the edge of tables. You can do it Alice, trust me.
367- That sounds freaking cool.
372- The pants sound neat. My condolences.
399- a very good book
So. I’m back for a bit I suppose. Did anyone miss me? I kind of miss the feeling of the blog. Anyways, I start school on tuesday I believe. Meh. I’m going to miss lazing around but there are things I need to do at school, and my favorite club and stuff. I guess it will be fun. I’m sort of regretting taking Stage design. I don’t know what I would take instead of it though… ah well. I’m glad it’s finally stopped raining. As much as I love rainy weather weeks of it is a bit much. Good luck to all you musers starting High School. I remember my first day.I was scared out of my mind because I couldn’t find the stairs (they were not logically placed)!
I went snorkling today in the bay by my house. The water was very murky, but when the seaweed was near my mask, you could see the tiny air bubbles covering it. Very pretty.
Sometimes minnows swam by before darting back into the haze.
There were supposed to be crabs in the water, although I didn’t see any. Sometimes I saw empty crab shells on the bottom, though.
414,415- I was VERY TIRED after my races. It’s not even fun to swim two laps anymore.
Has anyone noticed that moderation’s been moving really slowly today?
422 – No, it’s pretty normal: super fast, then stopped. Super fast, then stopped. And etc.
(423) Yup, that sounds right.
I was bored, so I found a book of random facts, with each page having a topic, got out a notebook, and did sort of a running comentary as I read the book.
Some of my comments were very funny, as in the page that had a list of UFO photos:
“1) Streetlight
2) Come on, that is obviously a pie tin!
3) Film flaw
4) Bad film
5) Toy model
6) Seriously, people, get better film!
7) Airplane”
Oh, and GAPAs, when are you going to put up my painstakingly hard work where it’s supposed to go?
I wonder if my HTML worked.
MWAH, HA, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Yeah, so, today, I learned we get to make our own imaginary islands for Social Studies! My mind screamed, for I couldn’t think of what I should name my island, where it should be, ect. Then I had a thinking explosion! An IDEA!!!!!! Can anyone guess what it was? A hint: It’s not The Bealtes…
I’m pretty sure somebody will get it. So sure…
Koko’s head would look perfect as a shape…
ARGH, whoops, sorry. I couldn’t help myself!
420- Yay Kagy’s back! Yes, I missed you. You should come more often.
ARGH. Eu nao quiero saber quantos caking reales eu tengo!!!!!!!!!! I have been doing Pimsleur Portuguese 1 for an hour and a half straight, and I am on the verge of never wanting to hear, see, or have mentioned a single word more of Portuguese in my life.
I just fixed my dress! Yay! I put in a 20-inch zipper by hand and it was not fun at all. Towards the end I was surprised that I could hold the needle in my cramped fingers. -is not destined to be a seamstress- But the results were worth it. My dress is gorgeous.
It’s not actually very Regency at all, beyond the high waist, but that’s OK, because it actually looks nicer than a lot of Regency dresses.
OBAMA
430- It sounds pretty!
I know, because I am able sense the beauty of things through the internet, -without- even seeing them.
And from what you’ve said on the blog, you seem like a good enough seamstress. At least, you sew quite a bit. By hand, too.
Speaking of sewing, I’m trying to make a stuffed cow-thing for my sister’s birthday on Sunday, but it’ll probably be late. And rather sloppy too, I’m making up that pattern as I go along. *is not patient to find and print a pattern from the internet* I think its head’s going to turn out a bit demented. Oh well.
ok–I have a question for all of you (as my educated and respected friends): What is your opinion of Jeff Corwin? (I, unfortunately, do not get animal planet, and thus don’t really know anything about him). Is he all he’s cracked up to be? As in, would going to a lecture by him on conservation next month be a total waste of time that would be better spent studying? Tickets are free, but it’s like 2 hours…..whadda you guys (girls) think?
This is kind of random, but…does anybody here watch the Colbert Report or the John Stewart Show? I love watching them. It’s hilarious.
434- I like them!
431-CHILL.
434-Colbert Report ROCKS!!!
436 – Yeah, I know! They’re hilarious, but they have interesting information too. It provides a different, satirical perspective on politics and other news.
434-Awesome!
433-Jeff Corwin is amazing! His shows are always really entertaining, and he definitely knows what he’s talking about. Go see him!!!
jfiiwevnb mosquitoes. I’ve had these mosquito bites on my legs for over a week and they won’t go away!!! Blah.
I start school in 1 week. I really wish they would have sent our schedules before it started.
My eyes are itchy! And bloody around the tear ducts.
It’s driving me crazy.
I colored my hair.
it’s naturally blond with light brown, red, and white stripes, and I coloured the tips… navy.
It’s called a wolf tail, and i am the only one I know who has it.
by the way, a fox tail is if you have dark and you die the tips light.
431)
I don’t like Obama. Of course, I don’t like McCain either. But I’m a republican at heart, so………
Obama = first ever word to rhyme with llama
396- All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost
the old that is strong does not wither
deep roots are not reached by the frost
from the ashes a fire shall be woken
a light from the shadows shall spring
renewed shall be blade that was broken
the crownless again shall be king.
I’ve had that memorized since freshman year of highschool. Woo to memorizing things from Tolkien!
Thanks, Karinnn Tayyy, I believe I will see about getting tickets….
439- My eyes are seriously dry and itchy. I suspect it hads something to do with my contacts.
439) Around fall, my eyes get like that. Very annoying.
433- “Jungle Jeff” is worth going to see.
445- Yeah. I’ve never had it before and it’s driving me insane. …On the other hand, my eyes look pretty cool
444 – Mine aren’t affected by contacts one bit. I’ve adapted to them really well.
447)
I freaked my friends out the other day. I jst opened my eyes really big and smiled strangley and they looked really scared. 
428- Thanks Alice.
430- cool. I hate doing zippers. I can’t sew a straight line even if i have something giuding me.
432- I love making stuffed animals from patters I make up. *high fives* i hope she likes it.
440- awesome.
449- acting creepy is fun.
sorry about the double post. Has anyone seen Tropic Thunder? I have and I’m wondering about other people’s opinion’s on the movie. I, personaly, didn’t really find it funny. The whole ‘simple Jack’ thing was in very bad taste. Jack Black was terrible. what do you guys think?
450) Mwahahahaha
451) I haven’t watched it yet. Though its supposed to be funny…..?
450-I like acting creepy. But my friends just think I’m acting weird. There is a difference!
453- all my closest friends are weird we love and support eachothersbizarities.
454-My closest friends are all weird too, we’re just weird in different ways and sometimes it’s hard to tell the subclassifications.
Random: I have noticed that my computer’s spell checker balks when presented with a word that’s more that ten letters long. I wonder why.
There are a bunch of people missing from the ‘Who’s Here’ page. Even I can tell, and I’m a neophyte. Has anyone else noticed?
Um, I was wondering, well- I need some comfort.
I’m having some problems.
I’m starting to feel my depression coming back. I’m moody constantly, and not just adolescent moodiness. Alone, I could deal with that, but I’m starting to get self conscious about my weight. i checked my BMI, and it’s at 18,51. Which I guess is kinda low, but I’m not sure if I did it right.
But seriously, I go for days without butter or sugar, and then freak out and eat a whole bunch of crap, and then feel bad about it after.
hmm. I’m going home this weekend. Maybe it’ll just go away.
456 – *sympathy pies*
456- *hugs and choklit* Aww,poor Vixen. I know how you feel, I’ve been there. Just keep telling yourself ‘I’m a great person’, and do things that make you happy and help you feel good about yourself. List all the good things about you. Also, listen to music, it helps. Music is a lifeline for the soul.
I just got a haircut., a pixie bob with the sides flipped out and a face-frame. It’s a bit shorter than I’d like but it’s really cute. I love it! Now I want some auburn highlights to go with it. Must ask the parents…
It’s okay, Vixen. We’re all here for you.
456- I think you did the BMI wrong.
(456) Just as a practical matter, eating erratically can affect your moods. If you can stabilize your eating, you may be better able to judge what’s going on. Everyone’s system is unique, of course, but for me that can make a significant difference.
420~ Yes, I missed you. When you left I was sad, because I’ve always enjoyed reading your posts, I’m glad you’re back!
430~ Sounds fun, now that you know you can do it, wanna help me hem most of my historical clothes? The skirts are particularly fun, the hems go on, and on, and on, and on, and on…….ad nausium.
440~ I do that with colored makers when I feel patient enough. When the tips of my hair were naturally lighter (it was really long then) it showed up very well, especially when I had braids in. ‘Twas fun, although my friends all took it as an excuse to yank them……
It didn’t hurt though, my scalp is pretty tough.
456~ Vixen, if you are feeling depressed, do not just try to ignore it and hope it will go away. You must over come it, ignoring will only pile it up and then when you finally have to deal with it it will have gotten way out of control and you may not be able to cope with it in a healthy way.
We all love you way too much to see that happen, so please, get help if you feel you need it.
If it means talking on here, do so, but make sure that you have healthy relationships with others that you know in person as well. Simply acknowledging the fact that you need to do something is a start.
I don’t know about your weight. That’s a limitation of being internet friends. If you are worried about it, talk to someone who you can trust to be truthful and sensitive, and ask them whether they think you are out of shape or overweight. If they say that you are all right but you’re still concerned, ask other friends or a doctor. If they say you’re all right, then don’t worry about it, believe them. A distorted view of you body and obsession over weight is very, very unhealthy, I cannot stress this enough. If that’s where your depression is coming from, really, really kick that image that you will never be thin enough. Yes, you will be, and yes, it’s possible to be too thin. When you are so thin it’s hard to operate in a normal way, and that’s not good.
If your problem is that you go on health food crazes, and then binge on rich foods, (it sounded like that it your post) try a moderate diet, one that satisfies your wanting butter and sugars, but that is healthy at the same time. If you feel that you need to lose weight, but you are always hungry, try eating more fibrous foods, leafy greens (not the museblogger, though!), and vegetables. But keep in mind, when you eat foods like that, you have to eat more of them in order to be filled, having a huge plate of kale with a little butter and salt is going to be way better for you and help you lose more weight than eating a hot dog. (It’s tasty, too, I love kale.)
I think that I remember you posting on the vegetarians thread, am I correct? If so, you’re already ahead.
Anyway, I hope at least a little of this will help. And know that I do care about you, even though I only know you from online. *hugs* You’re awesome, and never forget it! (Yes,I know, I shound like the self esteem issue of muse……but it’s true!)
458 – I’m envious. I want a short haircut. As in, really really short. But my mom said no.
458~ Sounds cute. I’ve been toying with the idea of cutting my hair again (I abhor it at the length it is now, and it’s really bugging me), and wondering if I’m grave enough to get it short……I’m thinking………….
461~ It can also be a shock to your system. Yesterday I was feeling a little sick because I’m visiting my grandparents, and my sugar intake always hits the roof here…….ice cream, richer soymilk (g’ma got the wrong flavor, Silk Vanilla, instead of Silk Light Plain, you can imagine the difference, the vanilla is like melted ice cream) and white flour. *-* Yucky.
Of course, the lunch I provided myself with before running out the door to the library wasn’t exactly what you’d call the best….triscuts, rice cheese and pickled beets…..yum! (Go ahead and make a face, but it’s really good!)
Oh, oh! I forgot to say, there’s a fencing school in town!!! I saw it yesterday when I was walking home, hmm, I wonder if I’d be able to take lessons? Mom sounded enthusiastic, bug g’ma couldn’t understand why I’d want to learn to spear people. *sigh* I feel so misunderstood.
Just a kinda random post:
In psych lecture, the prof started off talking about coincidence–how one event, such as dreaming about someone you haven’t spoken to in awhile, and then getting a call form them the next day,makes you think they’re connected. So, anyways, towards the end of the lecture, she says, “I’m now going to play a clip of people playing basketball, I want you all to watch them closely and count how many passes they make–whoever answers right, gets a piece of candy.”
I’m sure you all are thinking the same thing as me–hey, it’s that basketball group that the gorilla walked through that waas discussed in that one muse magazine! And, sure enough, it was the exact same group, gorilla, etc. It was kinda creepy–‘specially given all the talk about coincidences at the beginning of the lecture….
So, of course, I saw the gorilla–I was expecting it.
464- Who doesn’t want to spear people? Honestly.
Actually I’d prefer to shoot people with arrows, but fencing would be cool too.
-is violent and bloody-minded- -not really-
(465) “Muse Magazine: Ruining Freshman College Lectures Since 1997.”
466~ My grandmother. Well, she might spear me, I dunno.
Honestly, I love her to pieces, but she’s a bit hard to live with. Last night we went to the grocery store, and they have a great bulk foods section. We found some “chunks of energy” as they call them- some of those those health foods that sound like they should be disgusting because they’re so good for you, but are actually pretty good. So mom and I were putting some in a bag, and g’ma comes over.. “what’s that?”
(me) “It’s a sort of health food candy bar chunk-ish thing. They’re pretty good, too.”
“Oh, what’s in them?”
“Umm, seeds, carob, siprolina…”
“what’s that?”
“It’s,” *giggle* “A type of algae.”
*grossed out* “Eew, Fern, be serious! What is it, really?”
(mom) “It is. It’s very good for you, and it does taste good.”
(me) *laughing uncontrollably*
(G’ma) “YUCK!”
(mom) “No, seriously, it’s good. You’d like it if you didn’t know what it was before hand.”
(g’ma) “You’d make me eat something without telling me it had algae in it??!!!!”
(me) *laughing uncontrollably* “Trust me, there are much grosser things to eat.”
(G’ma) “Not many that I can think of.”
(me, under breath) “Oh, I dunno, corpses, undeveloped fetuses of another species, for example…..”
She also refuses to even try humus, because “that’s your food, it’s vegetarian.” Like tater tots aren’t?!?!?!
Geez.
I know she loves me too, but so much of me she can’t accept, everything I do shocks her.
I dunno, I don’t really think I’m that shocking, am I?
Okay guys, I’m my computer only has 20 more minutes on the battery, and I want to look at the fencing school, so I’ll see you all tomorrow. i don’t know when, since I’ll be walking over to the library whenever I can/get my homework done/whatever.
Later pals!!

I did something kind of like that yesterday. Because of the new school year, no one in our lunch group really knows who we are. We may know only one of our lunch, thus why we are sitting there, but, besides that, we don’t know anyone else. So, we had gotten through half a lunch of awkward silence. VERY awkward. When I took my peach out of my lunch bag to eat it. In despair, I suddenly broke the silence with a cry, “It’s SQUISHED?! *sob*” The whole table burst out laughing. How inconsiderate of them! 
469- Oh. you’re lucky. My dear old electronic processor of data only gets eight minutes on battery.
Oops. Sorry to double post. Didn’t mean to press button……
256) Oh no! Don’t be depressed! You should not be depressed about such things! Besides, depression doesn’t help! Action is the only thing that will, if you’re really serious about loosing weight. We’re all here for you Vixen!
Stay positive and smile! 
*hugs*
Yes! Homework lapse!
466-I want to learn how to spear people!
And, GAPAs, new thread? *puppy dog eyes*
464 (Fiddler) – Fencing is fun, exhilarating, and unique, and it also gets you exercise! What more could you want? Oh and also, it’s not just spearing people and clashing swords – if you know what you’re doing, it requires a lot of strategy and quick thinking. It is, without a doubt, my favorite sport, and I miss it terribly. But just tell your grandmother that the spearing part is simply the way to reach the goal of the game – it’s not really any different than getting a point in tennis, or a goal in soccer. The spearing may be the most important in competition, but it has little to do with the sport as a sport.
