Welcome, September!
Hahah, I recognize that sticker, that car!!!
Red-tailed HAWK
Ello MB! Long time no see.
2-Kiki! *Welcome back pies* Remember me?
How have you been?
Red-tailed HAWK
Kiki! She lives!
*pies*
2- What is this? Kiki the Great hath returned? Three cheers! -pies-
Nice sticker, by the way.
(1) Except the bumper sticker isn’t exactly the same.
5-I thought it looked different. I seemed to remember the old stickers being somewhat faded and tattered from old age. Thank you for settling the issue
Red-tailed HAWK
(8) Faded, yes, though surprisingly, not tattered. (The car, on the other hand….) But there are other differences. Through the magic of digital editing, this sticker is considerably larger and has added text.
Huh? I have no idea what everyone is talking about. I’m a ‘phyte remember? Could someone enlighten me?
2- Hullo. I used to be that little freak of a neophyte on Round Robin Smileys who randomly came in on the end. Doesn’t that just suck?
2- Hi. I just started yesterday but -welcome back pies- anyway
2- KIKI! HI!!!!!! *pies* I haven’t seen you around in a while. How have you been?
2- Kiki! How are you!
I like the bumber sticker. honor student at MA is either:
1) very easy, as ever one is smart, or
2) Very hard, as ever one is smart.
14-Both.
15- explain.
(10) ladygaladriel, the car bumper is mine, which HAWK saw when I was visiting in June. I do indeed have an actual Muse Academy bumper sticker, purchased from our online shop, Musery Loves Company. The one in the picture was digitally affixed, because mine is too faded and too small to show up well in the graphic. I also had to shift the Muses around a little in order to add the “My child is an honor student” line.
17- Heeheehee! I need to get me one of those.
Yay, randomness!
16-Well, since everyone is smart, you’d have to be much smarter than a normal honor student to be an honor student at MA. Either that, or almost everyone would be an honor student, so it wouldn’t really mean much if you said that you were an honor student.
A question of my own: If everyone at MA is an honor student, do they need to say that they’re honor students? Because, basically what the term means is that you’re smarter than most of the other students at your school. If everyone is as smart as you are, you’re not an honor student, because to be an honor student, you have to be smarter than everyone else.
*sets pic as desktop background* Actually, my desktop changes with every new Random Thread.
Lady B, when do we print the Musery signatures? Is yours going to be on there?
Love your graphics!
ZVX
21- Musery signatures??
17- Ohhh.
Thanks, ZVX. I’ve been looking at my schedule and will put up an announcement soon about deadlines. The actual design will probably go up on CaféPress sometime in October. All the GAPAs’ signatures will appear.
22- Better Get mine in!
(22) For more information, see the thread MuseBlog Signatures, Round 3. You can see what the last one looked like here:
https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=892
Lovely photo!
2- ‘sup keeks? (I hope it’s okay if I call you that). good ta see ya.
20- how high your marks have to be to be an honour student at my school is lower than other schools. I’m not entirely sure why. Mabe because my school is a bit of a slacker school.
23- I’m having difficulties scanning mine, but I will get it in.
i am watching a ridiculus soul destroying children’s television program. *aaaaaah* blindnig colours…. man I am so not ready for school tommorow…. meh.
I saw an episode and a bit of Doctor Who yesterday. I adored it. Who else here watches Doctor Who? It was the tenth doctor by the way. I want a scarf like the fourth doctor’s.
…Just Shining By…
…At Light Speed…
…Which Is Faster…
…Then Sonic Speed…
…Bye!…
…P.S. Sega Rules!…
…P.P.S. Eggman Sucks!…
…P.P.P.S. Muse Rocks?…
…P.P.P.P.S. You Bet!…
I have been trying to post Part 13 of COSMOS, but circumstances keep interfering.
(28) oxlin — My sister once met the fourth doctor, Tom Baker, on the London Underground. She said he seemed very tired of being Doctor Who.
I think it’s time for a female Doctor Who.
29 – *hums* I am the eggmen, they are the eggmen… I am the walrus…
28- I really liek Doctor Who but I rarely watch it. I watched it in grade six, so that’s about 4 years ago.
31- agreed.
Who/what is Doctor Who? Will no one explain? All I know is that there’s a telephone booth involved.
Alice–sorry, no clue.
This is quite amusing four years later.
Particularly given what Luna’s gravatar is.
Looking at old conversations is often like that. And now even if you don’t watch the show, you know about because half of Museblog does watch it.
Awesome pic!
Doctor WHo…… Hmmmmmm. I’ve heard my parents mention him before. Something about alien time travel or something like that. I also recall my Dad crying out, “EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!”
32- Goo goo g’joob goo goo goo g’joob…
34 Muses? Wow. Also, if you look on the page;
“Please see my other auction for a lot of 40 CRICKET magazines!”
Very longtime Cricketmag fan, apparently.
34- Yes, what is Doctor Who? It’s mentioned everywhere, and I’m completely clueless.
If there were a real Muse Academy, I probably wouldn’t be an honors student anymore, just a regular one, haha. There are some very smart people on here.
(38) Muse Academy doesn’t have honors students (or honours, honour, or honor students), but every MA parent gets a plentiful supply of honor-student bumper stickers.
31- a female The doctor. He’s name’s not Doctor Who!
34- What: a T.V. Show, from the BBC, that many people like. The Doctor has been played by many people (Not sure how many, only have seen the lastest ones)
Who: The Doctor.
31- ooh, that’d be quite interesting. And quite possible. That’s a great idea.
That is amazing that she met him though. Did he have his scarf?
He probably never wants to see that scarf again!
Has anyone seen the episode in which the Tenth Doctor meets the Fifth Doctor? It’s touching.
39- Ooh, that’s nice. I like bumper stickers. My parents don’t, though. I’d stick them all over my room and books.
Doctor Who is a British TV show produced by the BBC. The Doctor is an alien time traveler, a Time Lord, one of the last of his race. His nemisis are daleks (exterminate!) which (according to the intro info I got from someone) are mostly his nemisis because he keeps annoying them. He can regenerate (read: excuse to have different actors play him if one leaves the show. There have been ten Doctors so far I think. He usually has some sort of companion because it is lonely being the Doctor. He travels in a Tardis (or is it TARDIS, I’m not sure) which outwardly appears to be a blue phone booth. I know someone here at college who has a paper on her door that looks like a Tardis. it is great.
Go marvel comic books!!!!My favorite marvel guy is probaly the beyonder or captain america.He pwns.:idea:
31- Well, I don’t really know the specifics of regeneration, but I suppose it would be possible.
I have nothing intelligent to say.
(44) Most of my favorite Photoshop books and magazines are published in England, hence tutorials on various techniques, particularly those involving metallics, often feature Daleks — without a hint of explanation as to what they are.
I always wonder how many American readers scratch their heads in befuddlement. Though I suppose the Photoshop-geek populace may comprise a higher proportion of Doctor Who enthusiasts than the population at large.
Somewhere on the Internet I once found a pattern for knitters to recreate The Scarf.
48- Yes, I frequently stalk knitting sites- there are a GREAT many “Doctor Who” scarf patterns out there. Which only fuels my curiosity and annoyance in my ignorance.
I also found a knitting pattern, randomly, for a recreation of some robot from Doctor Who? I don’t have the foggiest idea who it might be, but it was quite cute, the little plush robot.
RAYNPHO! RAYNPHO! ATTENTION!
In honor of making my signature for me, I hereby award you 100 piepoints. (I now have 500.)
49. I am knitting a nondescript something that is rectangle shaped and dark blue. It is about 6 inches long and about 8 inches wide. Any idea what to do with it?
Did I even use nondescript correctly?
50- *blush* Thanks!
51- Hm, don’t know. Is it in any particular stich? If you haven’t bound off yet and have enough yarn, you could make it longer, into a scarf.
Is there a knitting/crocheting thread?
51) It could be a potholder…….
My sleep schedule is seriously messed up right now. Yesterday I fell asleep from 1pm-5pm, mostly because I wasn’t feeling well. Then, the extra four hours of sleep I’d already had, plus my desire to read the three Twilight books I had to read now that I finally had a chance to, meant that I didn’t get to sleep until 6am. Yes. 6am. And I finished both New Moon and Eclipse in that time period, thank you very much.
So, anyways, when I finished Eclipse I decided that I had better get some sleep, because I assumed that my mom would be waking me up in a few hours to go to the Labor Day pancake breakfast out at the lake like we’d been planning, and I’d much rather have two hours of sleep then none. Luckily for me, though, my parents decided that I just wasn’t feeling well (true) and decided to go without me. I didn’t wake up until noon.
It still feels like it’s about two in the afternoon for me. -sigh-
if anyone feels like /making/ me said scarf I’d be most grateful.
has anyone been following what has been going on at the Republican National Convention? it is insane.
For some reason, whenever someone sees me, they instantly assume hat i’m not punk. This annoys me.
I mean, why does punk have to go so much up in apearances? Why does being a anarchistic atheistic pacifistic vegetarian who likes ska and punk music and dresses however she wants not qualify as a punker because she doesn’t walk around in a mini skirt and corset??? While some kiddie punker who has no idea what steampunk or ska is automatically called ”hardcore??” There is nothing hardcore about kiddie punkers!!! *sorry. I tried not to rant.*
52 – Yerwelcome!
I hate waking up at 6:00.
I finished putting my binder together for school tomorrow. I stuck one of the NASA-logo stickers from Space Academy right under my daily agenda. I don’t really want to do much else. I customize my binders throughout the school year as a way of getting through.
Phew. Again. Why does Dreamhost have so many problems with their server?
Zinc’s sister- It’s up again! Zinc get over he-
Zinc- *shoves sister aside* It’s back on! WOO-HOO!!! WOOO-HOOOO!
45- uh, excuse me??? Wolverine pwns! he is totally the best marvel character.
61- uh, were you having difficulties with your internet…?
Yes!!!!! It’s back!!!!!! And the home page exists again, instead of being “You are looking for something that’s not here” and the R&R thread actually has posts (it didn’t this morning, that was one of its creepy issues)! it’s back to normal! (If you can call anything on here normal…..)
Why is it always having issues, GAPAs dearest?
63-It’s been really iffy lately, more so than usual I think, though of course I wouldn’t know. Hopefully Dreamhost will finish whatever they’re doing and MB will stop going offline every few weeks. That would be unbearable to have to deal with indefinitely.
oh great my post didn’t word. bum.
I have to leave because Gwyn has a dentist appointment. *ugh*
YAY it’s back up
Sorry I just got back form an audition
Thanks for the welcomes dudes! Um I don’t know where I’ve been. Not here, that’s for sure.
54- Yeiks!
I just got back from school. BEST.SCHOOL.EVAR!
I love my new school, private school pwns! I’ve made so many new friends in one day, and it’s a great experience.
Has anyone noticed that moderation isn’t moving again? Robert, have you been napping on us again?
OMG Agrrrfishi you’re at private school too???
Mine starts next monday
I noticed
7~ Mm hmm, I didn’t know you had a child!! Unless you mean all of us, of course. Although, I’m not sure if I’d even do that well at MA, I’m a horrible student that distrusts anything that smacks of school. Even though I’ve technically never been there.
Well, tomorrow I’m going on the first day of school field trip for a small school that some friends have (as in, it’s their school). We’re going to a water park. Apparently “waer park” means something totally different in Wisconsin than it does in Maryland. In Maryland what I take it to mean is a place with lots of rides, like roller coasters that go through the water.
I feel so weird here. Even though I do love WI, it’s just not the same as home.
Here they seem to think that it means to go to a lake. Makes sense, really. Around here when someone asks where you live/are staying they ask it as in “what lake are you near?”
71) *sympythizes*
70- Sweet! It’s very fun. I guarentee you’ll have a good time.
72~ Actually, it should be fun. I’m not that much of a roller coaster fan. They say there are slides and fountains and stuff, so that’ll be fun.
Soooooo. Yesterday I was with some of friends here, and they had to go school supply hopping, so we did that. ‘Twas fun, and much more interesting than hanging around the house by myself…..yay!
Hahahahaha, I just found the MySpace of one of my….umm, acquaintances. Funny. Very funny.
No, don’t ask. Please.
74-I wasn’t even thinking about asking.
75~ Probably a good thing.
I’ve discovered that when walking alone in town it is much easier to put on the persona of “yes, I know where I’m going and why. Even if I look like a total freak I’m not so stop staring” if I’m drowning out most of the excess noise with an iPod. Easier to ignore people if you don’t have to hear ’em. *is still a country bumpkin* Hmm, maybe this’ll be good for my “acting skills”. I love being dramatic, so why not use it in a practical situation?
I still don’t like being in town, although it’s getting easier.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I’ve not really read the blog that much, urgh, many posts and new threads since I was here all of two days ago. I’ll catch up. Eventually. Maybe. Whatever.
So, as you can see, I’m no longer totally depressed about being in Wisconsin, altough the situation I’m in is largely the same. Only better, the library is open again. That’s a good thing. Way good.
I’m also having a hard time focusing today. I was really tired earlier and never really did get caught up on that, I was running on a root beer float high for a bit, but now I’m crashing again. Maybe I won’t try to go all the way around the lake. Never mind, I might go to the park later and read Canterbury Tales in the swing set. If they have a swing set, I can’t remember.
Whatever. Maybe I won’t. Maybe I’ll see if I can find anything on tv that isn’t Hannah Montana, the Jonas Brothers or spongebob. Eew.
I love the sanity of MuseBlog.
See you all later, I’m off to explore the unknown wilds of…..my grandparent’s basement where I’m staying.
So, I’ll probably see you in a few days, I’m not certain that I’ll get on tomorrow, probably not.
Love the picture, Lady B.!

Bye for now, Midnight Fiddler. And I hope the gloominess lifts soon.

79 – Holy &%@#.
YOUR NAME IS ITALICIZED!!!!!!!!!!
The Rosetta probe is flying by asteroid Steins on the 5th. I nearly forgot! *Bangs head on table*
Why is everything italic???
82 – Freaky. Maybe Rosanne forgot to close her italics so it messed everything up.
Not happing on my computer.
What does ever one think about the New Google Broswer?
MF, are you a homeschooler too? If you are, cool!
I don’t see any italics where they shouldn’t be. Maybe it’s only for A certain type of computer, or maybe someone fixed it.
76- You do know that sanity and MuseBlog are antonyms, right?
Well, I know that most of you guys have never experienced hurricane season. But this has been one to remember… so far. Fay churned up all of Florida except my area. Gustav is currently tearing up the Louisiana area. Hanna is gonna go up the east coast of the US. (Heads up if you live on the east coast, this one’s going all the way to Maine) Ike is heading my way but won’t be here for weeks. And Josefina just formed and who knows what it’ll do. *sigh* What fun!
On the brighter side, life is good down here. I (obviously) haven’t been on for a while, and… uh… well I geuss that’s all.
(80, 82-85) I believe an HTML gnome was sighted in the vicinity.
(86) What does that say about people who think that this is sanity?
87 – It means we rock.
I had my first ever high school class today. It was okay, but sort of weird, because most people in the class were two years older then me, except for S and K, from my soccer team, and they weren’t at my table.
So, yeah. It was weird. Oh, and I really liked doing my math homework, even though it was kind of boring. I actually would have done tomorrow’s homework too, except I couldn’t.
69- heh. mine has a heiroglyphics class. does yours?
(shh. it is a college.)
Good morning everyone!
Sorry, I meant to post yesterday, but I was sadly distracted……… anyway……… Hi! 
86- Hurricane: My area (Up near NYC) hasn’t been hit hard since 1938, so we’re waiting for the overdue catastrophe. I’m kind of sad about that, and the fact that if global warming rises sea level any I’ll be underwater. I can see why it’s silly to build on the water, especially directly in the dunes, like those rich people over on the East End. But I’ve also decided that, paradoxically, I don’t think I could live away from the water.
So I need a houseboat.
Google Chrome: Google’s new cutting edge browser.
I’ve just begun to try it out, but I’m using it right now, and it is very interesting. They’ve turned tabs into something on a whole new level of interactivity, and although it’s still in Beta, anyone of you could use it. I can’t wait to see some sort of Firefox Chrome hybrid baby that has all the stability and addons of Firefox, with the new breakthrough design and possibility of Chrome. There’s also a comic online that explains how they’ve made it much more crash proof.
Bonus: Remember the shrinking comment box escapade? In chrome, you can change the size of the box!
Ooof. One wrongly positioned bracket, and my post looks very awkward. Always check your closing tags, kids!
School starts today. My mum let my get on here (YES!) before we left, as my first day of sschool is a- get this- LATE START WEDNESDAY! YEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
70- (sorry I didn’t respond sooner) Actually, Aggie, I start my 2nd year at private school next Monday.
91- I agree with everything you said about Hurricanes. I live in the NYC area, too.
I’m feeling very overwhelmed, but I managed to get to the library and relax a bit, which is what I’m doing now.
ARGH! I really want Chrome but it’s PC only. EURGH how un Google-y.
I have too much homework. Well my dad’s home and he doesn’t care how I do my homework so I guess, yay, I can do it in front of the TV. HOUSE HOUSE HOUSE HOUSE! I love that show. Can we have a thread on medical shows?
96-
Yeah RIGHT!!!! Do you really think the GAPA’S would allow that? Hmmmmm?
96 – OOOOOOH I love House!!!!!!!
A thread on medical shows would be flamablamablous!
97 – Ohhhh I think they may. The GAPAs have made a Winnie-the-Pooh thread, a Calvin and Hobbes thread, a computers and videogames thread…
96) ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I’m on a PC……
My parents like Windows, because they’re used to it.
96, 98: House rocks! Has the new season started yet? I know they have new episodes online a week after they’re on TV (for those of us who don’t have tv, hehehe–that’s good, though, I would be way to distracted)
100 – Nope, I think it starts this month, though!!!!
*excited* What do you think will happen to Wilson? 
101–I dunno, but he must be pretty depressed…..he’ll likely leave, at least for awhile. I dunno
Soccer practice today! Yay! Sadly, I strained my leg muscle. And even worse it’s my left leg. I strained it while playing soccer at school. We play all out soccer. No referee. Fouls every three second, no one cares, handballs, no one cares. So, I was with the ball, jumping over unintentional fouls, slides, and fallen people, and all of a sudden, this kid in front of the goal, he shoved me, my foot slipped on the ball, and I just avoided a broken leg. He didn’t even know how to play soccer, and he intentionally fouled me. Luckily, there haven’t been any really serious injuries. I’ve prolly gotten the worse of them, being the goalie and mid-field. There is this one kid who can do a bicycle kick. It’s insanely awesome. Another punted it out into the field (we get about 1/16 of the size to play soccer on during recess) and it went all the way into the creek.
102 – Aw. I like him.
96- Try FireFox. it’s quite a bit better than Chrome and IE put together.
So I come home from school to find Opal trying to contact Mother to ask why Blackie (a local stray cat) is in the house. I go into the kitchen, and of course it’s not Blackie at all. My mom got a new cat!
He’s very nice and friendly, and he has a funny kinky tail. 
96-102, 104:
Is there a thread for discussing TV shows? Because if there is, I think you guys should go there. I don’t watch TV (any, at all) and I’ve hardly understood anything since the beginning of this thread.
106- Awwsome.
I like cake!!!!!!!!! Hows that for randomness!!!!!!
100- New season starts the 16th.
102- I read a plot synopsis of the season opener. He does take a break.
My favorite character OTHER THAN HOUSE is probably Wilson.
Or Kutner. And my favorite episode is the one where the guy drives a wheelchair into the pool. The fourth season finale made me CRY!!!! Poor Cutthroat B****. I just finished watching a season 4 episode with a magician in it. It was good! GAPAs, can we PLEASE have a medical show thread? It could cover Grey’s Anatomy, House, ER, Scrubs, etc.
107 – Sorry.
Shall we take it somewhere else?
And, yeah, I actually really feel sorry for Cutthroat B****. I like Wilson, House, and Thirteen the most.
110 – YAY! Oh, he does? Aw.
P*EASE? MEDICAL THREAD?
Arg. Speaking of hurricanes, we’re having one come through our area this weekend. I hope we don’t get stuck at our grandmother’s fancy nursing home, since we’re going over to visit her Friday.
I wouldn’t want to be stuck in my grandmother’s tiny apartment (for 4 people at least) with grandma. 
I mean, I love my grandma and everything, but she can really be a backstabber.
111-You can if you want. Is there a TV shows thread? It’s fine with me if you stay.
112 – Ooh.
*sympathy*
110: I is smart. ok, not really.
111: Yeah, i haven’t seen many episodes,we only’ve got Fox for a year and a half, and last year, i was much too busy to really watch much, but i would sit at the kitchen table “working” as much as possible when it was on. I’d have to say that I like the cute young british guy–I’m a sucker for british accents; house, wilson, and thirteen. house totally likes kutner (sp?). It’s so hilarious…..
Sixteenth, hm? I’ll have to catch ’em online…..
Cute young british guy’s name is Chase, and he’s Australian. Lol.
Well Blockbuster has all of the episodes. I’m watching them out of order (I’ve gone through four discs in the last two weeks) because that’s how cool I am. Also what made me cry in the season finale was when Thirteen found out she had Huntington’s.
116: Chase, that’s right. Australian, huh? Well, I’m a sucker for australian accents too. lol
I didn’t remember her ever finding out–I thought she didn’t want to take the test? Like I said, missed a lot of episodes
Hm it was the VERY last episode that has been on, where Amber dies? The subplot is her taking a blood test and finding out.
91 – Isn’t Chrome awesome? I downloaded it yesterday and I’ve been playing around. It’s very cool. I love the pictures of your Most Visited sites that show when you open a new tab.
96 – For now, anyways. I suspect that will change later.
103 – That’s the funnest kind of soccer. I got to play some like that last year, during lunch at school, except we would play World Cup using only one goal. It rocked.
105 – I personally like Chrome’s simplicity. FireFox is just…weird for me.
106 – You got another cat?
118: Yeah, I saw that episode. I guess I just missed/forgot that little detail….
119- Yes, we got another cat. See, we had four, and then we moved. And then we had two, and they died. And then we came here and we had, well, two technically but poor Fred isn’t allowed in. He gets tuna sometimes though.
So let’s just say we have one to simplify things. And then we got a kitten. And then Willy died. And then we had one. And now we have another. So we only have two. Plus Fred, whom I should go feed now.
Does anyone know where beavo went?
122- I could ask him, if you really want to know.
In a flash of awesomeness, a giant steampunkish steel spider has emerged on the side of a building in Liverpool. See La Machine for more info. Steampunk Jungle Adventurers might want to follow.
people keep writing “[ ___ pie points, ___ whatever points…]
What does this mean???
124- Go to the points thread it will help.
124 – https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1483 should answer that.
Does anyone here fence? I know a few people from Gen.6 and before, but I don’t know if any of them are still here now. And I would love to know if any of you Gen. 7— fence.
So… who likes pineapple?
126. I like fencing!!!!!!!!!! I know how and stuff, but I’m not very good.
PINEAPPLE!!!!!! (chases after THP for any pineapple that THP may posses)
So, I was wondering, do MBer’s prefer Macs or PCs? I for one am a Mac person all the way through, and will pie anyone who dares argue with me that Macs aren’t AWESOME!! Macs ROCK!!!!
Sorry for the pie threat. I was just making that up. (or am I…)
127-Macs. Definitely.
35 minutes until Rosetta’s flyby! Which is after free period. @#$%!
My friend was showing me, in a British improv show ‘lines you won’t hear in Doctor Who’ One guy walked up to the microphone and read ‘Welcome to the Dalek poetry reading. This is my first poem, Daffodils:
Exterminate
Daffodils.’
It was great.
Pineapple?
Coconuts are better.
4 posts to day?
Well, most of us just got home from school.
I had an okay day. The entire school went to a nearby natural area and hung out all day to celebrate the end of the first 6 days of school. Then we got back to school, where each team dressed up in their costumes (my team wore lab coats and colored safety goggles) and went to the gym for fear factor. It was so disgusting. They had to eat pig’s feet (!!!), horseradish shakes, and Spam/Sardine sandwiches. Yuck.
Then, my friend S (who got second), got some of the Spam sandwich stuck in her braces. Double yuck.
Oh, and there was a dance after that, but it was absolutely awful. It was 10 minutes long, and they played a total of three songs: Thriller, I Like Big Butts, and some song I had never heard of.
Hello, I’m still alive, I’m sure you’ll be sorry to hear.
Well, lets see, what have I been up to? *thinks* Okay.
I did not go to the water park, instead I went to Old World Wisconsin with my Mom (who got the day off because her brother took grandma into Madison instead).
Yesterday I mostly sat around the house and was bored. Mom went to a friend’s house that evening to see some of her high school pals and grandma and I went to the session at the Irish pub. Mom convinced her that it most likely wasn’t going to be a bunch of people getting as drunk as they possibly could, instead it was just to play music, so she relented (although her first reaction was, “Eew Fern, you don’t actually want to go to a bar?!?!?!?!?!?!”).
I did play, and it was fun.
So, how’s life with you? I am, at present, unhappy.
Grr again.
I just walked two miles for absolutely nothing. I thought I was going to be able to go to the library, but it was closed. Another walk back. Grr. I shouldn’t say nothing though, I gained being totally sweaty and now know that the library closes early today and tomorrow.
So, how goes the MuseBlog?
134 – I’m not sorry about that!
MuseBlog goes good, I think, although there haven’t been a ton of posts today.
128. YAY!!!!
131. Coconuts most certainly are not better than pineapples!!
133. How do you make a shake out of horseradish? Ice cream, horseradish, mixed in blender? Yuck. My mom says pig’s feet taste good. I’ve never had any. Why would anyone like big butts? They always get in the way of things. I heard you can make burgers out of spam. Ew. Hmm, what about spam pie? Might be particularly gross to throw at someone.
*pies any bystanders to test spam pie*
Please post the results of spam pie.
I am very tired. It’s either the fact that I’m in school all day, or the fact that my means of getting to and from school is by bike. 25 minutes each way. Oh, or maybe I’m tired because my cats sleep on my face and wake me up at 3 AM.
Luckily, though, I have the whole weekend to relax! Well, not the whole weekend; tomorrow night I have to house-sit (alone!) for my friends. Which mean I’m going to be all alone in their big old creaky spooky house. I’ll probably spend the whole time watching Hornblower and fall asleep on the couch.
Okay, I don’t like the fact that the playground has apparently been taken over by a bunch of noisy teenagers. I dislike teenagers. Especially when they’re being obnoxious. And I have to walk right through where they’ve set up camp. And it’s getting dark. I am not happy about this.
Anyway, I guess I’d better get going, see you all later.
3459 species live on the California coast. Only one is destroying it.
Think about that.
I like my Choir Director. She reads us random facts in the mornings.
Good morning everyone!
I’m back! I meant to post yesterday and Thursday, but I found out I was having a HUGE test Friday, so I had to study and last night I visited my grandmother and we ended up leaving later then usual. Gurgle. Today is hurricane day. The power has been flickering slightly lately, so I hope I can successfully post everywhere. 
halloo. I haven’t been on all week becuase I have been buisy with school. i got my second favorite drama teacher for drama (yay!) but my drama class it full of kids I dont’ like. ah bum. most of my classes are pretty good. i suppose.
What today contains-
Saturday
Soccer
Boredom
Reading
(maybe) Cleaning
MB
Other stuff.
Can anyone tell that I’m mildly depressed? I think I am. See, in Earth Science I started writing awfully odd things in a very gothic script in very black ink. I dunno, I’ve been switching from really hyper/cheerful to depressed/quiet. It’s really weird, and I don’t know what to make of it.
144-That’s how teenagehood is. My guess is probably every person on the planet has been mildly depressed between the ages of ten and twenty-one. Or maybe that’s just me. I’ve had the same thing happen to me a bunch of times. You usually get over it in a couple days. So don’t worry too much.
136 – There was horseradish, ice cream, strawberry syrup, and I think some other things too. I don’t remember exactly, but I know it was gross.
139 – Wow. -shudders-
I’m already done with my first soccer game of the day, and we won 5-0! It was awesome. My brother already played a game, too, and we each have one later. Then my parents have a game after that, so it’s quite a soccer Saturday. (And Sunday, too: my brother probably has a game tomorrow as well!)
Pineapple and coconuts are equal and complement each other, especially as gelato.
147 – Gelato – yummmm.
I was watching this cool show on the History channel about these guys who found lines in the Torah that may predict the future and stuff. OK, not a good explanation. Once a page was found in the torah and vertically, horizontally and diagonally they found the passages “The Towers” “Bin Laden” “they will be crumbled” and “2001” in the same page. The people who found this also found pages that state that Hussein was hiding WMDs in the Beq’aa Valley in Lebanon and also that the world will end in 2012 when a comet hits the earth. Its total bullcrap, of course, but its kind of interesting.
In other news, my family in Baton Rouge, LA have no power and a tree fell on top of the house next to them. My grandparents live in New Orleans and went to stay with them during Gustav, and when they got back, it turns out that their house suffered no damage and that they would probably have a better state of living if they had just stayed in New Orleans- which is pronounced New Orlins, by the way. (Just to clear up some debate on the Accents thread. Although locals usually say N’awlins).
My mom is making honey cake for Rosh Hashanah and it smells freaking awesome.
149- -blink- I thought you lived in Washington.
150- No, I live in MA. My tribe’s reservation is there, though.
Dance today at school.
149) I lost respect for the history channel when they started putting on shows like “HISTORY OF HOT DOGS” and “STUFF THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAPPEN”.It’s all such sensationalistic programming for the most part. A shame, since they’ve made a lot of good shows in the past.
153- They had a show called “STUFF THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAPPENâ€?
153 – Wooooooooooooooooooow.
Hi!
Just stopping by to let you know I’m still alive.
I’m crazily busy and don’t have a lot of time to blog, even now.
Sorry.
I’m throwing together an announcement I’ll post right after this, and then I’ll be flying to a couple of other threads. I don’t know how much time I have left on the computer.
By the way, T. S. Hanna went over today. Lots of rain (I measured 3.5 inches) and some gusty winds. Some leaves and small sticks down, and some tall plants are still leaning South
You’re friend,
Red-tailed HAWK
ATTENTION ALL SEEKING JOBS IN MUSEICA AND ZEMTEE: NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!
MUSEICA
Museica is a nation in the “Muse Worldâ€. We have created a form of government and a Constitution. We run the country and solve problems that arise.
The Nation is divided into Nine provinces named after the Muses. Each is run by a Governing Muser (GM). We need to elect 6 new Governing Musers, one for each of: AEIOU, Bo, Crraw, Feather, Mimi, and Pwt.
There are three Prime Musers (PMs) who look after national matters. We currently have all three of those positions filled.
There are three Chief Justices, or CJs. We need to elect all three.
And there’s the House of Commons (HoC), of which every citizen excepting those who hold one of the above positions is a member. The HoC creates and votes on laws.
If you would like a position, submit your request on the Museica thread (Click here) and you will be put on the ballot for the next election.
ZEMTEE
Zemtee is a nation of sorts in the “Muse Worldâ€. Here we also have a form of government and a Constitution, and we also run the country and solve problems that arise.
In Zemtee, there are Nine Great Chiefs, Nine Governing Chiefs, and 3 Chief Justices. All positions are empty, and we need people for the House of Commons as well. All interested please head to the Zemtee thread (Click here)
Thank you,
Red-tailed HAWK
145- It’s been happening for over a year.
158-Oh. That sucks. I don’t know what to say, except maybe ‘I’m sorry’. But I still think you’ll get over it eventually. And I still relate to you, though I’m more on-and-off.
153- Ditto.
Get a large enough volume of information and you’re bound to find patterns you think are meaningful.
Just look at those people who claimed The Incredibles was a criticism of the education system.
I’m posting this from WebBrowser, My creation. a webbrowser!
159- It mostly happens at home, when I’m not reading, here, or watching TV. It also happens at school when I’m not with my friends. Which is alot of the time. But sometimes it does happen with friends, anytime at all. It just comes out of nowhere. Maybe this is puberty. Nah, I was nine when it started. *sigh*
Random factoid of the day: Nearly 13,000 gallons of water fell on my yard in T. S. Hanna yesterday.
Red-tailed HAWK
Ahh!
Sorry I haven’t been on for a while. Mom was being stupid.
Anyways, what’s happening? *to lazy to read posts*
163- WHOA.
So basically, here in [snip] we didn’t get a summer, remember? We sat around wearing wool sweaters with the heat turned on in late August, and didn’t go swimming even once. But now that school has started and condemned everyone between the ages of five and eighteen to spend seven hours every day indoors, we get a whole week of glorious sunshine. It’s sort of like Indian Summer, only minus the regular summer.
But I like it, even though it’s late.
Anyway, I made good my housesitting prediction, or part of it. I didn’t fall asleep on the couch, but I did spend about four hours watching Hornblower episodes. It’s so nice to see them on a regular screen. YouTube is so pixely.
160 – Um…? The Incredibles criticizes the education system? God luck selling that idea to the public.
My mom got really mad at me ’cause I told her she told me to keep my math assignments and I didn’t know where to put them. She got REALLY mad. Like you wouldn’t believe. She messed up my room so I had to super-clean it.
Hey.
I actually got to see Grandpa yesterday, he said it was okay for me to come to the hospital, so I did go. I’m glad I could, it was hard not being allowed.
Better news, he’s home today! They picked him up and he’s home now. I just came here for a little bit because I assume he’s going to be resting, and Grandma doesn’t need me underfoot. I carried everything in from the car, helped out with what I could, and now I’m out of the way.
So, that’s pretty much all.
Umm, and I played my concertina for the first hymn in Sunday school, but that’s not really that exciting. We got a message last night at 11 that if I wanted to bring an instrument to play one of the hymns that would be great, so this morning I practiced for a few minutes and brought it, three flats was not going to go over well with the fiddle, sorry.
Ugh, I’m tired. Way tired, I got to bed sometime after midnight, I don’t really know when, and then had to get up early-ish for church and took a walk with a friend and now I’m just tired in general and all the noise on the playground is bugging me this is a really horrible run-on sentence so I’ll stop now, and by the way- alphabet soup isn’t very good cold.
Wow. Aint’cha glad I’m here?
166- That was my point, it’s a dumb idea, and an example of how people can find strange meanings and subtext where there isn’t any.
Yay! So,I finished all of my homework!
So now I can post here without feeling guilty!
144) I’m sure it’;s normal. Earth Science will do that to you.
No, seriously, if you think that you’re depressed, it will make you more depressed. I would keep on goin and make sure to smile. Always smile. It makes everything feel better. 
At least, it does for me.
Besides, you’re not really depressed if you care that you are depressed. When people are truly depressed, they don’t care, at least, that is what I’ve observed from various depressed peoples.
158) Oh. really? I’ve never had that problem. I’m sorry. I’m probubly not that much of a help. I’ve never had that problem. I’ve never felt the urge to be utterly gloomy, to think very dark thoughts, or write disturbing poetry. *shrug* Am I weird?
Well, anyway…… *hugs Zinc* Just keep your friends close and know we Musers are always here for you!
162) I don’t know…… are you sure it isn’t puberty?
167- -coughgotohistorythreadcoughcough-
Hmm. Anyone have any cough syrup?
169- It started when I was NINE! I barely even KNEW what
the CURSEpuberty WAS back then!Sorry for the rant. But I am going through- never mind, it’s a somewhat… odd subject to discuss on a place where both girls and boys frequent. That would just be WRONG.
171- Ten for me. Puberty stinks.
170 – Nope, sorry. What do you need it for?
Ah. Sally. I understand perfectly! *pats back* *backs away very slowly* MY sister often got like this as well……..
I’m bored bored bored bored bored bored bored.
-tries to think of something to do that does not involve computers, and hopefully involves getting out of my room, which is exceedingly dim and depressing when I don’t have my light on, which I don’t like to do-
I wish I had some playdoh or clay to play with. Maybe I have some downstairs. -wanders off-
175- Here, you can have some of my polymer clay. It’s fun, as long as you don’t burn it. -Very- stinky fumes.
*Note to self: cook polymer clay at less than 450 degrees, and check OFTEN*
I need to do homework. Why must MuseBlog be so interesting?
I’d rather discuss wung buttons than copy the definition of hypothesis, any day. For heaven’s sakes, we learned the definition of hypothesis 5 years ago! *dies*
AAAND I really need to clean my fish’s bowl… must stop procrastinating sometime soon, maybe…
161- You built a web browser? That’s really cool. Sure fits your name! How did you learn?
165- If you’re looking for more tv online, I’ve watched all of Firefly on Hulu. It’s not bad.
177- Hulu, huh? I shall have to look it up. Apparently there’s something called Surf the Channel as well, except that when we tried to watch The Princess Bride it wouldn’t let us, so I haven’t gone back.
176 – Actually, I think I found some clay. I went downstairs to where my room used to be (most of my stuff is still down there) and got a bunch of random things that I haven’t played with in years, but will be waaaay more interesting then sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours straight. (Not that I don’t love Museblog, but it gives me headaches after too long. :()
But then I realized I didn’t have anywhere to put all my random stuff, so now I’m in the process of cleaning my room. I don’t mind cleaning my room, as long as I do it on my own terms without somebody breathing down my neck.
Anyways, that’s what I found to do. Thanks for the offer of the clay, though. I may have to take you up on that if the clay I found proves unworkable.
Me is in school. I shall visit two threads before departing: BA and this.
Ta-ta!
. . .
mmm. I never can follow the RTs. They’re too fast paced, too hard to keep up with. :(|)
I love the way my school’s library smells.
144- Everybody’s depressed sometimes. I was for about half a year–last year–but don’t let it get you angry. It just continues to grow with anger. Which I found to my cost.
Depression is horrible, but just try to find something that you really like; it’ll help.
166 – Yeah.
144- you’re just moody. I am like that as well. Though rarely hyper anymore. being hyper gets on my nerves. Writing gothic stuff doesn’t mean you’re depressed. you were probably just bored. It’s nothing to worry about. unless you constantly want to die. that is deffinitely worrysome.
153- Stuff that could Potentially happen would have unlimited material for episodes.
166- never tell your parents stuff like that until you are desperate.
167- YAAAY! *is glad your grandpa is better*
Does anyone remember the Prancing Unicorn Slayers? I miss the days of PUS. Hey GAPAs, could we possibly please have a new pie war thread? just a simple one for throwing pies in a amicable (is that the right word) manner? pleease?
Hi.
Spectrum was awesome. We got to listen to our iPods.
Fun.
Bye!
Yesterday I setup the wireless network at my new house,
here’s how I did it in five steps:
1. Stare at the computer screen
2. Pull wires
3. Get frustrated
4. Wail like a wounded moose
5. Repeat 10 times! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
177- Books! It really does fit my name.
186 – Spectrum? What’s Spectrum?
187 – …
In Personal development today, we were talking about “Is Homophobic Better Then Racism?”
Really.
Most people said Racism is worse, as there are fewer Gays, and there not barred from entreaty any where.
I had two words, if only the teacher had called on me:
Boy Scouts.
185- Try World of Piecraft.
182- Mmm, yes.
179- Good luck then!
Clay is fun.
Random how-to of the day.
HOW TO COLOR POLYMER CLAY
1. Take a chunk of white or light clay
2a. If you have regular pastels on hand, scrape off some with something sharp, like a razor, and make some colory powder
2b. If you have oil pastels, scrape some off and mash it up into a colory mashed-up goo
3. Knead your colory powder or goo into your white clay
Voilà ! Colored clay!
It’s fun!
I’ve tried yellow and purple so far.
190 – They’re banned from boy scouts? Really?
190- Well, you could have brought up Saudi Arabia. And I think the official Iranian policy is that there are no gays in Iran.
OH! I forgot to say this earlier, but we got our class schedules this afternoon. I think I’m in all four classes with my friend L (although math doesn’t really count) and I have at least one class with S.
PLUS, I don’t have any classes with A, which, honestly, is a bit of a plus, considering how badly we work with each other on projects.
I have science tomorrow. I can’t wait!
190 – So what’s your point?
170~ Okay, I will in a moment.
185~ Me too. He’s better for now, so that’s good. I just wish he’d be nicer to grandma.
190~ Meaning?? Is it as Meow said, that gays are banned from boy scouts? I mostly look at gay guys as just another person who’s not going to ask me out, so what? I would only be afrid of a lesbian if she were stalking me or something, but I’d be afraid of a guy doing that, too.
So whatever, why would anyone be afraid of that?
I’m tired. Again, still, whichever it is.
My day was boring, the nurse came, we had meals in grandpa’s room, grandma is wund up about everything and worried and I mosty hid downstairs.
I want to go home!
189-The Gifted and Talented program at our middle school. It’s Futura at the elementary school.
190-I don’t really think it makes sense to argue about what’s worse, they’re both horrible and disgusting and evil and what you SHOULD argue about is how to fix the fact that they even exist.
197-I don’t think he’s saying that gay guys are bad, but I think they are banned from Boy Scouts. Not sure, though.
Seriously, the whole BSA “you have to believe in God” thing is just stupid. You don’t have to think God exists to like nature and sports and whatever else.
Later, all! Gotta go, I may be on later…….hugs to all!
Goooooooooooooooooood evening MB! I have found I am unable to post in the morning on school days. So…………. Yah.
*wants to read posts quickly because I’m at a GOOD part in my book*
Hello. I am here. I have school. Homework is controlling my life.
The ads on myspace stalk people. They are always related to your profile or comments. I have a friend named Keith that I talk about a lot, and my ads are always about famous people named Keith. My friend is wiccan and hers are always trying to sell me rare books and crystal balls.
I like the song “The World Should Revolve Around Me” by Little Jackie. It’s like a girl power song. Haha!
I’m reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. It’s probably going to take a while because of school, but I think it’s really interesting so far. I’m around page 115, and the part with the rain off the coast of France just ended. (is there a thread where we can spoil this?)
The Boy Scouts discriminate? o.0 I never knew that.
198 – Ah.
Must… finish… homework… now. *admits* Yes, I have an addiction to MB. *tears self away*
198- We have GATE. Gifted And Talented Education.
196- I just found it a bit disgusting. and this is the Random thread.
193- Really.
194- I’ll try tomorrow.
197- I don’t know. Why would any one be Racist?
198- Agreed. Remember, the holocaust wasn’t just jews. It was also gypstys. and Gays. Hitler wanted a pure, Straight, Aryan race.
202- Gays and Athiests.
201- YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!! I ♥ JS&MN!!!! It’s my favorite book in the world! Go to Books and Reading!
Really, Karinnn, you have no idea how you just made my life, like, 100x better. Because it was miserable a few minutes ago. And then I came on MB, and I cheered up! Yay MB!
And I decided not to rant or go on about meaningless details in my life. So yeah. Anyone notice that I barely post on the random thread anymore?
Seriously? That’s… idiotic. Bah to them.
Also, we are leaving for Toronto on thursday! Woo Canada! Hockey tournament up there, I have to miss school friday though, and a tennis quad on saturday >.< Eep. I’m also worried what my AP US History teacher is going to do to me…
In other news, I’m spending all my time trying to to die from exhaustion and overworking myself, so you may not be seeing a whole lot of me… again

204- Hitler was an IDIOT. He is the reason that Germany got such a bad name. Germans AND Japanese people were sent to concentration camps HERE. Although the conditions weren’t that bad, here, BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT!!! My grandmother grew up during WWII! I oce read her a story about a girl that gets sent to a concentration camp, and she got all upset and had to go lie down. I’m ranting, but more than HALF of my heritage is German, and I am REALLY sensitive to people saying “Germans started WWll!” Then I correct them by saying that the Nazis started WWll, and then I get into an argument. And another thing- the Germans did not WILLINGLY fight in the Rev. War; the mercenary Hessians were FORCED to by their kings. And in WWI, they went to the aid of Austria because they had made a pact with them! They were trying to honor a deal! Geez LOUISE, people, GET THE GERMAN STEREOTYPE OUTTA YOUR HEADS!!! GERMANS NOW RUN WONDERFUL MUSEUMS, HAVE WONDERFUL CASTLES, AND ONE SCIENTIST FROM GERMANY TOOK UP ABOUT HALF OF AN ARTICLE FROM MUSE!!! PELICAN JAWS! PARROT FACES! STRUDEL BRAINS! MUFFIN HEADS! WAFFLE NOSES! MOUTH BREATHERS! BIG FAT JERKOS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone tell I’m upset?
Luna, where in the country do you live? You are either up awfully late, or you’re on the west coast, like me.
Zinc, I live in Alaska, but I’m currently attending college, which is in the central time zone, so I’m on blogtime now–making in 10:15, and not too dreadfully late. Back home it would be significantly earlier, only be 7:15…
Huh, it’s 8:25 in SoCal.
OK, so today, I biked home from school, I’ve got this huge heavy English textbook, and I stop in my mom’s work and I’m like, “Hey mother, can I put my backpack and huge heavy English textbook in your car so I don’t have to bike home with ’em” and she’s like “fine” and I’m like “cool” and then I hang out with my dad who’s in town briefly and drink Dr. Pepper because they don’t have root beer and then I go to this stupid online math orientation thing that taught me NOTHING and we get back to the pub* where I left my bike and I’m about to ride off and my mom’s like “hey Alice want to fill out this survey about the riverfront” so I’m like “sure” thinking hey a chance to rant about trying to bike in this town and of course the survey has nothing to do with that and I get all confused and eventually I go home and rant to Mother about the miseries of adolescence and then she’s like “hey I’m going to the country for the night” and I’m like “okay” and she leaves and I take a nice hot bath and then I’m like, “okay, where’s my backpack?”
And then I realize.
It’s in the car.
In the country.
Fifty miles away.
*My mom works in a pub, as I think I mentioned, but kids are allowed until 10 PM.
204 – 0.0
I finished my PowerPoint so now I can go on here.
w00t!
i am at the library after school and i did all my homework exept geography
208- No, he wasn’t an idiot. That was the problem–he was smart enough to do the evil things that he did. Bush, on the other hand–
I got a new, absolutely rockin, CD today. I’m listening to it right now…
so that was good. I started a new school today, it was pretty good. I ran into a bunch of friends from ages ago. 
gotta go jam with the CD on the guitar now.
I don’t have time to read the entire thread, nor thoughtfully comment on everyone’s posts, but I just wanted to share something:
I have been riding my bike to school this year. I have to wake up a 1/2 hour earlier, but it’s definitely worth it. Just getting outside early in the morning is a really fantastic way to start the day, and everything is just so quiet, happy, and nature-ful, even if you live in a very urban area, like me.
I would recommend riding a bike to school to EVERYONE. I live 8 miles away from school, and a ton of gigantic hills lie between my house and school, but the exercise is really great. It takes me 40 minutes. If I took the bus, it would take me 30 minutes. (It depends on which bus, though. The 30-minute bus only comes in the morning, so in the afternoon I take a different bus and it takes over an hour because it doesn’t take the busway.)
Here are some suggestions for others who might want to bike:
1. Get a rack or a crate or something to put on the back of your bike. They’re easy to attach, and can carry backpacks, etc. My bike has a rack on the back, and I bungee-corded a crate to it. My backpack is usually around 30 pounds (yes, I weighed it), so this helps a lot. Beware, though, you must keep your weight balanced near the back of the bike to account for all of the weight of the backpack.
2. Get a light and/or reflectors. I leave my house at 6:30 am. This week, it has been relatively light outside, but since the sun is still rising, I use lights. It will just continue to get darker as the weeks go by, so lights are important. A flashing red light is great for the back of your bike — you can attach it to your backpack or “crate,” and if you have reflector strips those will really help visibility and make you safer. A light in front helps, too, because it helps you see in the dark. And always wear a helmet.
3. Your city/town/place of residence may have designated bike trails. It it does, try to utilize them. Even if it means you might have to bike a little farther to get to the trail, it will be much more fun to ride there than on streets. It’s also safer. When driving on streets, make sure you use hand signals for turning and always keep your eye on the cars. The majority of my ride is on really busy streets, and it’s especially important to ride carefully if it’s dark outside. When you’re riding on any street, stay at least two feet from the curb/edge of the road. If you’re riding in a particularly busy area, ALWAYS take up the entire lane. It’s very dangerous if you’re riding too close to the edge of the road — cars won’t give you enough room when passing you, and they could force you off the road, which leads to serious accidents.
….that’s really all I can think of right now, so I’m going to get back to my homework.
216- Sweet, so do I! -virtual high five- I’m only 25 minutes away if I take the flat route, and the route that would otherwise be quicker isn’t since I have to walk up the hill that is our Town. But it’s like, four miles, so it’s really great. Also I leave at the same time as I would to catch my bus, but I get there about fifteen minutes later and I can leave school as soon as I get out, instead of waiting ages for the bus to get out (conversely, I can stay after school if necessary and not miss my bus).
1. I have a bike basket which I put heavy books in sometimes, but usually I just wear my backpack. I would put a crate on the back, except that I just have a fender and I don’t want to break it. My basket’s pretty much huge anyways.
2. Wow. I haven’t yet experienced riding in the dark (I leave at 7:15), but tomorrow I have auditions which could go on for a while so tonight I’m going to install a light on the back. And yes, I wear a helmet.
3. We do have a trail, which is nice and flat, but of course it’s not a bike trail only, and it takes a longer time and at one point you have to get off and walk so as not to get your bike stuck in the cracks of the pier. Not to mention the railway tracks. And all the old people walking their dogs. But it’s more fun than riding on the road anyway, and of course it’s against the law to ride on the sidewalk. However, on the highway, there aren’t any bike lanes, and it feels dangerous enough on the sidewalk, so I never ever ever ever bike in the street. On the side streets, I bike, and try to obey the rules that I don’t know. I always mix up my hand signals and generally come away feeling like a menace to the public. Plus, in order to not go against the flow of traffic, you generally have to go up at least one hill, often very steep and lacking in a sidewalk. What are we supposed to do THEN? Walk in the street? Or bike on the sidewalk? It doesn’t seem fair to me that pedestrians have their own path, and cars have their own path, and bikes are only allowed on the cars’ path, which is VERY DANGEROUS especially if you’re too young to have read the driver’s manual.
I’m sorry. Very sensitive subject. I’m going to put on some nice warm socks now and do my homework.
204-Yeah, Hitler was weird. Straight, White, Aryan? How dull.
Think of how the world might of turned out if Hitler stuck to art?
I’ll have to look up his art, to see if he sucked or not.
Very funny story, do not read if you have liquids in your mouth:
Today my English teacher showed us the three plants he keeps in his classroom. He named them Tilda, Igor and Benjarmin. He says that they are indestructable because this was the first time he’d watered them since June and they were still green. Last year their vines grew halfway around the classroom on string loops hanging from the ceiling, but they stopped growing because they were growing away from the light. One vine stopped right under the Gumby toy that my teacher displays on his chalkboard.
His exact words:
“They turned back because they were afraid of Gumby. One night, Pokey jumped on the vines and beat them up.”
218- Weird isn’t the half of it. Everything we’ve ever said about Mr. Joe might be closer to the point.
* listens to Mozart while she does her homework and FINALLY finishes*
Mozart is the greatest composer who eveer lived! He helped me finish geometry homework! *hugs Mozart*
I’ve played for my entire orchestra class and when I finished Bach’s prelude to suite number one they applauded. I feel good about myself. I think I’ll go join the *** Orchestra now.
216/217- I haven’t ridden my bike to school yet, because it’s getting repaired. I might get a new one anyway, because my old one is really old, but anyway, I don’t know if I could. You’ll have to talk me into it, because I’m not sure I would want to have to get up earlier everyday to cross streets and such. I walk home everyday, but get dropped off, so I guess that evens things out a bit. Hmm. Should I bike both ways, or walk one way and get driven the other?
219- Whoah! Watch out for Pokey. He’s a tough one, red and bendy and all.
222- Bike both ways. It really gives you a lot more flexibility. You don’t have to rely on your parents to drop you off at the right time, for one thing. Biking is a lot faster then walking, and while nothing is more relaxing than a nice long walk (well except for curling up in front of a fire with a book
), if you add a backpack or inclement weather, one’s desire to be home increases dramatically. Or at least mine does. Plus biking is cooler and more independent.
I liked living about a mile from my high school because I could walk there or back easily and therefore, despite not driving until the week before I left for college, I was fairly independent. Besides if I was feeling /really/ lazy there were city buses. That and most other places were also reachable by bus.
Good morning everyone! I’m about to leave my house for school, so I’ll make this quick! *rushes off to read other threads*
I got up early on a late start like Kiwi, and now I have to read alll the other threads that concern me! Bye!
Hey everyone. Walking, riding bikes, hmm, what a topic. I want my bike. I really want it. I’ve been walking in town a good bit lately, and I wish I could ride instead, the traffic is really tame compared to home, lol, these midwesterners crack me up sometimes. I remember my grandpa complaining about “all the traffic” when we had three other cars on a back road that was actually a main highway……….
I found that amusing back then, and I still do.
So. Let’s see, what’s new for me? Nothing. Not much anyway, perhaps such a minuscule amount that I myself have failed to notice it.
Bikes? Me no have correct size bike.
201- that is such a good book. deffinitely in my top five.
206- funtimes. best city and country ever. have fun at the hockey. If you have time to sightsee I reccomend the science center, the ROM (royal Ontario Museum), The BATA shoe museum, and there’s a Polich festival this weekend (if you’re there that long) which sounds pretty cool. anyways, enjoy. The CNTower is over rated. have fun!
208- yes i can. i also think you are absolutely right.
I have realized my life’s calling. It is to be a host on TVO kids. it’s a childrens chanel for week days and on the weekends and evenings it is called TVO and has really cool stuff like miss marple mysteries. Anyways it would be the coolest job ever. For improv club at my school we are trying to come up with a name. The Team (which competes) and the club (which is just for fun) are the smae thing this year. My suggestion is “improvination” because there are so freaking many of us. what do you think? please cross your fingers, I hope my suggestion gets chosen.
sorry, this is probably a double post but I have a few questions for the GAPAs. One: why is the recent posts bar so long? there used to only be about 5 recent coments. now there are over 10. Two: would it be possible to have another pie war thread? thank you
there is, in the town I’m in right now, a beautiful Queen Anne’s style house. It would make an excellent Muse Academy, it’s near an apartment building that could serve as dorms, has several towers and is glorious in general. I had written up a great long post about it, but it got deleted, poo. Anyway, I got a few pictures of it and when I get home and get around to it I’ll send them in.
(HAWK, I’ll get them to you as well, it’s the building I was telling you about last month.)
Okay, I’m going to go now or in a little bit, the computer is acting weird and I’m annoyed at it. Grr.
202- Your not the only one.
Sadly, my mom thinks my addiction is bad. But it isn’t. For nobody knows anything about me here, yet you guys know more than anyone does. All of my friends don’t, no, strike that, CAN’T have conversations about Global Warming other than “I want to save the polar bears!” and such. They can’t talk about World Domination as if it were an everyday thing. They can’t add onto my stories, and I can’t add onto theirs. They marvel at the word “serendipitous” and think Molecular Gastronomy is the most boring thing in the world. They can’t have long, intelligent conversations with me about evolution. Or just listen to my rants, or talk about how much I loved a book. None of them have read Jonathan Strange & Mr.Norrel, can you believe it? They can’t talk about Star Wars with me, because most forget what the whole thing’s about, even if they just watched it 50 million times.
*takes a deep breath* Sorry. So, yeah. How’s life everyone? Ooh, soccer practice soon, gotta go!
232 – I totally agree with that whole spiel about… stuff.
(231) Towers, eh? That’s good. We must have towers.
I got a new pair of frames for my glasses. They’re greenish-brownish and make you think of Fifties engineers.
OK! Hello again everyone! Well, tonight, I probubly should have gotten more homework done, but it’s all for my Environmental Science class and that stuff isn’t due for…….
Assignment 1: 2 weeks
Assignment 2: 2 weeks
Assignment 3: Next Monday
So……… yeah………. and my Math homework was really frustrating tonight. My mother, the all powerful math teacher broke down trying to figure out 3 of my word problems. Of course, the good thing about discussing math with my mother is that I usually figure the answer out for myself by just talking about the problem. That happened for 2 of them. That last has everyone stumped. My math teacher is evil. My mother’s only response was that she hates word problems and has tried her best to dodge them throughout her career as best as she can.
The world would be a better place if everyone would just take the bull by the horns and learn to love word problems.
237- In challenge math once, we had to write word problems. Mine was something about a guy beating another guy up. I’ll unearth my notebook so I can show you the exact wording. Later, of course…
Well, REALLY GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!! The school library is opening this week! It had=s old copies of my favorite magazine in the WORLD in it! Squee! Whipee! Yayzers! [insert happy words here!
]
237- Remember, Word problems make people dumber.
I feel drained. So I won’t post further.
237- This world would be a better place if there were no word problems.
They never make sense. I mean, if a kid gave another kid apples, and you’re asking how many he had left, how would we know? He could’ve eaten some apples or something. What kind of apples were they? What was the kids name? I mean come on!
241- That’s why I hate math. No plot.
Tommmorow I’ll to the September horoscope on the birthday thread. But for now, I’m going to bed. *yawns* Good night!
zzzz I’m so tired
216) oh if only i could be awake that early. It’s an ongoing struggle to even get up at seven…but I think I’d like a new bike just because there’s lot of nice places to bike around here. I’ll be honest though, it bugs me when bikers are in the street when I’m driving just because I don’t need that added anxiety. So yes, it’s important to be safe on the road!
I think I’d like to live in a so called pedestrian city when I move out and what not.
235- That’s Flamablamablous! I love getting new glasses frames.
I hate gym. It is a plot to make as uncomfortable as is possible and completely destroy any confidence I once had. If it weren’t a credit I really, really need I would skip for the rest of the year. after today I quite honestly never want to go to gym class ever again.
234~ Indeed. It has one large tower, and a few rounded out rooms. I think it’s also a sign that it’s located just next to the masonic lodge, not that that is particularly auspicious, save the fact that it’s masonic lodge number……..42.
Ooh yes, turn that Infinite Improbability Drive back on!
237~ Not happening. I hate them with a bloody passion and always will. Yes, Robert, math does suck, contrary to the title of that book you pointed out once.
Soooooo. Not much has changed, did you expect it to?
I’ll be playing music tonight, that’s something good to look forward to, I’ll probably take my concertina too, it’s a pretty tame session, and they need more variety…..
Umm, and that’s about it. That and I’ve gotten used to crossing streets. Yes, at the age of sixteen Fern is finally not terrified of crossing streets alone in town without stoplights and walk signs. She can even walk now, as opposed to running and resisting the urge to scream. Yay me, and about time I may add.
Such goes life. I wonder if the library has Muse? We’ll be here until, Sunday, and I really, really want my Muse. And Cicada, and Cricket. And my bike, and my own comfortable bed, and, well, home, really. *sigh*
246- You’re telling me. Luckily, sophomores aren’t required to take PE or I would DIE. Gym destroyed any enjoyment of athletics that I once had. Soccer? I’ll never play again.
So yes. You have my sympathy.
UGHHHHHHH I’m not riding the bus anymore. If I’d biked, I would have been home twenty minutes ago, not five.
I have a new textbook. Es muy grande.
OH! OH GOD! My Spanish homework! -dies-
Anyway, I think I offended someone in Global Studies today… We had this assignment, which was to look at four topics (Global Warming, Abortion, Gay Marriage, and War) through the eyes of the four worldviews (Secular Humanism, Cosmic Humanism, Communism, and Christianity). We were doing this in groups of four.* Anyway, there were three of us who all basically agreed on the topics, and then this other girl, who was Christan, pro-life, and anti-gay marriage. We got along all right, I guess, until we got to Abortion, when she said “All life is precious” or something like that, and I tried to convince her of the horrors of factory-raised animals, and if all life is precious why does she eat factory-farmed meat, eggs, and milk?**
So yes. I hope I didn’t offend her too dreadfully.
* I feel that four is an important number in Global Studies. Did I tell you about the four key questions?
**I eat meat, eggs, and milk too, but all from small local farms.
Why is moderation so slow? I don’t have that much time on the computer, folks!!
(249) Well, I can’t speak for anyone else, but I was steam-cleaning my carpet. Not easy to do that and moderate at the same time.
250~ Okay, you’re forgiven, I like the H&H shirts so you get some slack this time.
(251) Ah, thank you. I am relieved. And I’m glad you like the H&H shirt. I’ve been meaning to ask, does all the writing show up all right? Or do you think I should make the small print bigger?
252~ I have the one that is yellower. the large printing shows up well, because it has darker lines around, but after “the Lady Bunniful and Master Paul of Swinford” it’s hard to read, and that one can only get of they’re standing close and squinting a bit. The small wording isn’t as important, so it doesn’t really matter, but it would be nicer if it was a little darker. I love the drawings though, and they’re placed nicely, not in, umm, the wrong places, if y’know what I mean? Which is nice.
The design as a whole is nice and balanced and falls in a nice place on the shirt, it is light enough to not be really stark, but clear enough to be seen. the “Mostly Harmless” and “Muse Academy” ones are great, but I’ve noticed they fall a little low and are hard to see, at least on my girls’ shirts because of where they fall and how they fit it just doesn’t work as smoothly as it could. I’m not sure that you can control that though, can you? If so, maybe put those designs just a little higher, just half and inch would do.
Probably more information than you wanted, but there it is.
later all, my computer is dying on me!!!!!
Love ya!
Well I don’t know. moderation for me is thirty seconds minimum, 3 minutes maximum.
248) people who make claims that all life is precious would be wise to you know, treat all life as if it was precious. as in the homosexuals they belittle and attack. And the animals you mentioned as well. But I guess it doesn’t work that way? not saying all people who are so called pro-life are haters, but nine times out of ten.
my throat hurts. argh. at least it’s thursday, I suppose.
242) That was one reason why my mom doesn’t like them. She says that almost all of them are pointless circumstances. Like you could tell that the people who publish the textbooks are really having to work at finding something, ANYTHING to fit into the situation.
246) I don’t know. That’s how I used to look at it. bUt, actually, I kind of miss it. I liked my teacher, and all the kids in my class worked just perfectly together, I mean, everyone was supportive of each other. And we just all had fun with it. And, I mean, I’m awful at athletics. I must be the slowest runner in my grade and it’s not because I’m over weight or anything, because I’m not. My feet tend to go in, which effects my physical performance. Of course, I found that I didn’t have to be a good athletic in that class. Any liability I had was made up for with determination. And I even found that there were a few things I actually excelled at! Mostly defensive playing.
So, seriously, if I had a chance, I would definately relive that class.
248- i only like one of my classes this year: drama. I wish I could just ignore everything else (except maybe science) and only go to drama and improv club. becuase last year I had the best teachers evver. now i have one’s whosse teaching styles I do not agree with.
I’m not sure I quite understand the ‘I beg to differ” shirts. could someone explain please?
has anyone noticed that I spell maybe wrong. I’m really sorry. I only noticed recently. I thought it was mabe.
*cameo appearence*
259- Peekaboo! I see you!
259- Look! A cameo!
258- The “I beg to differ” shirts came about when POSOC said he wanted a shirt that said “I beg to differ,” because he didn’t like school or something (I’m sort of unclear on that). Rebecca made one. And they’re awesome.
Math. Meh.
I haven’t been on MuseBlog in a while, have I? Meh, school.
Actually, school has been awesome. I love my school and friends so much, and June is going to be just miserable.
But, yeah, right now it’s going awesome.
Yay, Friday!
Yesterday was the first track meet of the season and I did okay. I don’t really have much to say.
YAY! FRIDAY! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!
actualy, today wasn’t so bad. In English we were analizing the first paragraph of one of (i think) James Joyce’s short stories. I was talking about what I though was the symbolism of the disused distillery. when I finnished the teacher just stared at me and said “you just predicted the end of the story.” I thought that was funny, as I hadn’t read the story.
I bought, wait for it, TWO sketch books today, for the price of less than one. there was a huge sale. yaaaaay! now I can do the art I was waiting to do.
I have an exciting weekend, I will ntell you about it when it has ended.
