Things to do in the snow?

That sounds nice. My school has giant hills of doom, which should be fun for sledding/dying, as soon as we get snow. Seriously. Yesterday, it was below 0*C, and we had rain. Not even freezing rain. Rain.
Sledding is quite awesome, so is body surfing. In snow.

How about we ask GAPA’s about their jobs? That sounds fun!

I’m having friends over tomorrow, and hopefully it’ll snow, so we can have a snowball fight.

Oooo, or Anime/Manga!!!

hey, we could discuss HG2G!

3- I think that could be asked on the Ask the GAPAs thread, if it hasn’t already. Which I think it has. Probably.
5- I’m pretty sure there’s an already anime/manga thread somewhere around here…
What about… our holiday wishlists? I’ve been semi-working on mine, but as of now, it pretty much consists of:
MUSE back issues
COOKIES
Beedle the Bard
Oh, and a brontosaurus, but I somehow doubt I’ll be getting that.

7- If you did receive said brontosaurus, what would you name en?

Wish list!
• A ‘Resistance is Museless’ t-shirt.
• ‘Attack of the Smart Pies.’
• The rest of the Percy Jackson books.
• ‘Beedle the Bard.’
• A tack-on-the-wall whiteboard that I can hang in my bedroom/locker. Preferably the latter.
• New reeds.
• The new Sara Bareilles CD, Careful Confessions.
• One visit from Hei Young. (But that will never happen. *sigh*)
There’s prolly more, but I can’t think of it. My minfd keeps straying back to the math homework that I need to do. *sigh, again*

Wish list is as follows.
Anything and everything Harry Potter. the end. (With the exception of Beedle the Bard, as I already have preordered the collector’s edition for myself, as said parents would never get me that, and plus I didn’t want to wait THREE WEEKS for it).

My wish list:
• These cool playing cards with different cat breeds on them. My mom bought them a few months ago, but said she wouldn’t give them to me until Christmas.
• A new violin. My current one has a crack in it and will probably become unplayable before the end of the school year.
• A mouse, rat, or hamster. Sadly, I can’t have a dog or cat (we’re renting a house and our landlord’s daughter is allergic to both). But I have a betta fish named Jingle Bell, and I’ve been taking good care of him, so maybe my parents will think I’m responsible enough for a small rodent. (I’d like a ferret, but they’re illegal in California.)
0

13–Ferrets are illegal in CA? That’s too bad….Move to AK and you can buy yourself a cute (but perhaps vicious–one bit the vet I worked for, it was rather funny) white ferret and name it Draco.
oooh, a rat, and name him Scabbers! (Hmmm, anybody get the impression I am completely possessed by HP?)

How about video games that you want to be made?

23- maybe!! Has anyone here heard of a new one name Spore? It is about how you guide an entire spiecies (is that how you spell that) through evolution. Time magazine (don’t worry, I am a loyal muse fan. it’s my parents subscription) rated it 20 on it’s top 50 new inventions list.

I don’t really know what I am going to ask for for Christmas……I don’t really need anything, and the stuff I do want is rather expensive and I know I probably wouldn’t get.
However, here is what I’ve compiled:
*the complete set of Horatio Hornblower books
*A cute watch from Garnet Hill (I love their stuff, but it’s so expensive. *drools*)
*A Musery shirt with the newest batch of signatures
*Various and sundry CDs
*The rest of the “History of the universe” set by Larry Gonick and his other set the “History of the Modern World”
That’s all I can think of. Honestly, I usually just get things as I need them, so instead of waiting and getting a cell phone for Christmas, I got it last week because it was time to. Instead of waiting to get clothes, I go get them when I need ’em. It’s a good system, but it can make the holidays a little hard when everyone wants a long list to choose something from.
It was so much easier when I could just ask for items for my dolls, because I could make specialized lists that catered to each persons spending budget and taste. (Wow, I sound manipulative.)
Whatever, I like Christmas for reasons other than lots of presents.

I’m thinking the former, that you are our beloved Hippo Fan, but am a wee bit unsure……perhaps that’s due to the time of night. heh, better go to bed, and stop posting off-topic posts on random threads. Come to think of it, I do often seem to be responsible (ore else significantly contribute) to thread going off topic…..

*Real internet instead of dial up
*Texting (it’s been blocked on my cell phone since I got it)
*A really cool amethyst thingy that I can’t describe, but that I saw once in the Harvard Museum of Natural History in Boston and that I really want because I want to be a geologist when I grow up
*Not having to go to school
*For my double cast, Spencer, to drop off the face of the earth so he’ll stop messing me up

53) I used to be obsessed with them to, but I’m determined not to read the third series because I have a feeling tha the author is going to keep writing these books for FOREVER and they’re getting…… ummmm….. not as good as the first ones. So I’m going to stop while I’m ahead. Athough, it is INCREdIBLY tempting to get the books from my local library. MUST RESIST!
Anyways…….. new topic! Let’s see……
The dangers of cows on the enironment?
Everyone’s opinions on anything dealing with Santa Claus.
(I’m especially perturbed at the notion of changing “ho ho ho” to “ha ha ha”)
The many exquisite creations you can make with and the characteristics of CHEESE!
0
0
(54) Be not perturbed, kiwimuncher. The story about “ho ho ho” was an urban legend of sorts, developing from a misinterpretation of a Santa-training policy in Australia. The booming “ho ho ho” sometimes frightened small children, so Santas were urged to be sensitive to their audiences and tone down the exuberance as necessary.
You can read more on Snopes, of course.

new topic, new topic… Well, maybe not cows effect on the environment, but the environment in general.

– Manga drawing lessons
I think I’m going to give my friend free piano lessons. She reeeeeally wants to learn how to play.

69 – Technically, Wall-E is Pixar, not Disney. And I thought that the environmental message–which according to the screenwriters isn’t the point of the movie (?)–was really well-done. We are coming to rely a lot on technology, and we probably need to be grounded in reality a bit.

.62 (Vendaval) – Thanks. I’m still not sure about sizing. I guess if I order it from Zappos, I can get two sizes and ship one back.
69/70 – Why do you guys want eyeliner privileges so badly? MissSwann, if your parents say it doesn’t look very good, they might be right!

59~ I have about *counts* 5 pairs of corduroy pants, one of which I’m wearing right now. I like them…..yum.
Eyeliner…..it can be okay if used sparingly, but I’m going to agree with Zallie, if your parents say it doesn’t look very good, it might not be as pretty as you think. It’s easily overdone and personally I don’t think it’s that attractive.

I like corduroy pants.
A lot.
But I only have two pairs, one of which is too big and the other of which is too small. 
Until recently I could never find long pants that worked for me, but I just got two pairs of jeans in a week so perhaps the curse has passed. I haven’t grown in ages. I wonder if I’ve stopped…
Anyway. Wish lists?
I like to be surprised.
I know my mom is getting me a cell phone (I have to give in, I’m afraid–they’re terribly useful) and some tights and legwarmers. I’m quite fond of books, too.

72- It does make me look good; my parents are extrememly old fashioned, and it’s just another way to gain individuality at my uniformed school. (Decorative socks just isn’t cutting it right now). You would understand if your school had uniforms, or at least ones that are as butt ugly as ours. Plus, I think it looks cool.
73- I have a huge nose, and eyeliner distracts from my monstrosity. See above, as well.
0
0
.75 – And you will understand what I mean about make-up in a few years. You should respect your parents’ viewpoints and rules, because I’m sure they have sensible reasons for banning make-up and will probably let you wear it once they think you are mature and responsible enough. You’re in grade (middle?) school, aren’t you? Why are you so concerned with your appearance?

I just realized something incredible…
When I sent my christmas list to my aunt and uncle, I had Etrian Odyssey on there as my vg. But after the day where they apparently shopped, I changed it to Mario Super Sluggers and gave it to my mom. SO I WILL GET TWO VIDEO GAMES THIS CHRISTMAS! WOOT!
In fact, I think I’ll get two of everything I asked for, because my mom (who does most of the christmas shopping for our family) apparently doesn’t know that my aunt and uncle went shopping with that same list.

75- My school had uniforms while I was there. Individuality at that point in my life wasn’t very important though. I’m not sure what was going through my head for that year but it was a very bad year. *reminicing sigh* I get what you mean though.
77- Wow…

76- 7th grade, but I’m very mentally (and physically) mature for my age (says doctors/various tests). I like to look good; is that such a crime?

Is the topic still on wish lists? It seems to have morphed somewhat, though to what I can’t quite say.
I don’t wear any makeup, though I don’t have anything against it. Just don’t cake it on, avoid the wierdly unnatural shades of purple-glitter eyeshadow, and make sure you actually look good in it. *shivers at terrible recollections*
75- Decorative socks are the best! I wish I had more pairs.
I’ve never had to wear a uniform, but personally I don’t see what’s so terrible. If they look good, that’s great. If they don’t, well, everybody is wearing them anyway, so no peer pressure! Everybody looks bad, problem solved! *insert sadistic cackle here*
79- There’s nothing wrong with looking good, or trying to, anyhow. People just go about it with different methods. Some work, some don’t. It’s a matter of opinion.
I wish I could state something other than the obvious sometimes. =/
64- Such optimism. You can never be sure! People are, in general, pretty stupid.
69- I hope you’re not speaking of WALL-E in a condescending tone, because you shall have myself to answer to… *tries to act formidable*

i love snow. i like skiing best but sledding is fun too. and building snowforts. that’s fun. i built a snow dog and a snow loch ness monster once. we live on a culdesac and they pile up all our snow in the middle. yesterdays some freinds of mine came over and we dug a tunnel through it. but then it snowed last night and they piled it up so it probably caved in. also ,when they came over they didn’t bring ther snow stuff so we had to lend them stuff. at skiing, the athletic director said that we are going to damage the football feild by skiing on it so they wont let us ski on it but we have nowhere else to ski until they groom a track so we have to work ot inside now.(which was okay today becuase it was like -2 degreese today w/a windchill of -15. which is cold,even by my standards.) i dont even want to see my skis if i have been damaging the foorball feild.

96- What’s with the grasshopper thing? My friend says that to me all the time or at least “Naughty Naughty little grasshopper” so I use the word Padwan whenever I can.
My History Sub (long term) used to teach at a super big private school for skiers and snowboarders. The skiers spend the first half of the day skiing and the second half learning while snowboarders flip flop that. I think it’s sorta syco to get up at 6:00 (or somthing like that) just to ski.

97) In the HG2MB (or one of those old things) there’s the following question: Why is my post “awaiting moderation” ?
Answer: To teach you patience, grasshopper.
I don’t know where that came from, but it is frequently used.
Why doesn’t your cousin like the word padwan ? I don’t say it a lot, but I think it every day at least once.
Muhaha ! Since the -phtes thread was closed, we can use that as topic !
98) Garfield is much better than Calvin and Hobbs !

(100) I explained the “grasshopper” references back in March 2007. Here’s the scoop:
It’s from an old 1960s- or 1970s-era TV show called “Kung Fu.†The hero keeps having flashbacks to his youth as a trainee in a Shaolin martial-arts monastery, where his old master used to call him Grasshopper. “Patience, Grasshopper. Can the sea hate the rock? Can the sky hate the cloud?†That sort of thing.
So whenever I say “Patience, Grasshopper†to a MBer who complains about slow moderation, that’s what I’m referring to.
Now, the rest of the story: The old kung fu master was blind. At their first meeting, the hero, Caine, blurted out that he couldn’t imagine a worse misfortune than not being able to see. The master replied something like, “You may have eyes, but you have failed to notice the grasshopper at your feet.” Caine looked down and, sure enough, saw an insect, chirping away. Hence the nickname “Grasshopper.” (Caine either didn’t notice or was too polite to point out that grasshoppers don’t chirp; crickets do.)

We have to make up a FULL SUMMER DAY just becuase they needlessly called a snow day, we could have at least gotten an early closing, that means no make up days. But the sky is overcast and it smells like snow. I’m just trying to figure out if I can get to the town center and back before it does.

98 – *doesn’t know the names of the Beatles* I like to sculpt wet sand into a simple tower (usually just a cone sticking up out of the sand) near the water when the tide is coming in. Eventually, water starts gently washing around the cone, sculpting it into cool patterns. I sometimes add shell fragments, rocks, or bits of seaweed if they make it look better. Beachcombing is fun, especially when you find pretty shells and colorful rocks. Wow, I’ve gone way off topic. *leaves thread, having no experience with snow*

A couple of weeks ago, after a big snowfall, my friends and I went to this huge sledding hill. That was kind of a mistake on my part, seeing how I manage to hurt myself whenever possible. About a half-hour into sledding (sustaining minor bruises and such), I got onto a small red disc sled and went down. Everything beyond this is an account put together piecemeal from what my friends saw; I don’t remember. Apparently, everything was fine until I got to the bottom of the hill, and then I flipped and cracked my head on the ice. According to one of my friends, I just laid there, face down, on the ice for at least a minute and a half (the time it took for my friends to walk down to where I was). When they got there, I regained consciousness and walked back up the hill. The part where my memory kicked in was afterwards, when I was sitting at the top of the hill, sipping a cup of hot chocolate that we’d brought in a cooler.

We have about a foot of snow now! It’s amazing. This morning while walking around the block the stuff would fall onto my deep blue sweater and you could see what they looked like, it was really pretty. Last night my friends and I were fooling around and we saw LIGHTNING! Is that even possible? I mean it was snowing and then all of a sudden there was this huge but very pretty flash of light and thunder soon following, needless to say we went inside after but we were talking about if for the longest while.
115- Woah.

I was so disappointed when my school didn’t close on Friday!!!!! We had a humongouos snowstorm. But once I got to school around third period the announcement came on that it was going to be a half-day because we were supposed to get even more snow later!!!

116- Oh, I saw that too! It actually kind of freaked me out, because I was alone, and I thought the aliens were coming for me, but it’s still the same thing.

122- I didn’t think Alians I thought run away. I’m deathy afraid of thunder (not lightning-thunder) and I went into overload, I think I picked up all of the sleds in about four seconds and had them inside before anyone else started moving. It was really cool because it lit up the whole sky but still really scary.

I haven’t made any snowmen, despite all the snow we have. I have, however, made snow angels, gone sledding at my school (we have an awesome hill behind it), and had a snowball fight with my brother.

124- I snowdino the top of the snow went all crusty becuase of the rain and I used pieces of that for the spikes.
We have so much snow I have to wear my really dorky hand-me-down snowboots to school. Unfourtantaly nothing fits in our lockers so I have to wear them all day long. Normally I could care less what people think of my shoes/outfit but big puffy blue moonboots are a bit over the top (even for me). No one else had to run around in weird shoes because everyone else gets driven to school, I seem to be the only one who doesn’t get bussed or driven and lives more than a block away. *sigh*

131) Poor Lumpy.
When I made a snowman funeral, I made a pair of snowmen dressed in black and standing in reverance behind a bucket of water. I also put up a sign saying “Slow Funeral” Some people actually slowed to look!

I like to watch it from my window, or take walks in it (only when it is less than a foot) and pretend I am a character from an Austen novel (unashamed). I’m not the biggest fan of cold weather.
