Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
Are these colors staying for long? They’re very….clashing. -eyepain-
Happy Monday, though!
Woah… New colors!
Good picture!
325 (on previous thread ) (Robert)–that sounds yummy…..I want some.
Interesting colors. The colors on osts don’t seem much changed, I don’t think, but the rest…..interesting.
I like the picture (even if it did take me a while to figure out that the outer ring was smileys)!
And my room smells like fish…..I had some yesterday, (my mom got me smoked salmon, the non refrigeration necessary til opened kind for Christmas) and the paper towel used to wipe the excess fish juice off my plate has a strong odor today (sure it did yesterday, too, I just was accustomed to the smell) and I suppose I ought to grab that bag of trash and toss it on my way to class, before my roomie decides the smell is bothering her and says something.
Whoah!
That’s an awesomely awesome pic! Well, this is the last day without school. And my online class has started. 
Poopers. Oh well.
Hullo, everyone!
I’m in the country. Last night we sat around reading about different blood types in “Eat Right 4 Your Type”, and this morning we’re sitting around discussing the credibility of it. It’s rather fun actually. I think I’m type A, but I don’t really know. Or care much.
The colors are a bit odd, but I can’t tell because I’m on my dad’s computer sitting in full sunlight so I can barely even see the screen.
5) That sounds nice.
I was thinking about going outside and writing a little. But it’s very cold outside right now.
I like the new picture, it’s sort of a mandala.
(7) That’s exactly what it’s based on. I ran across a tutorial for making mandalas from photographs and used the first January graphic as an experimental sample.
Whoa. Bright colors.
They’re fine, but one thing Rebecca—could you perhaps make the comment box a bit less… bright? It’s a little too much for me.
Love than mandala, it totally works.
We made model elevated bridges for SciOly in science class. Mine placed in tenth because we couldn’t get the loading equipment on properly (and because a lot of the measurements were off, though just by millimeters) so it was all wobbly and it wobbled too much and the poor bridge fell over and broke. But the whole thing weighed only 15 grams, which is way less than the winning bridge which had a similar design (the winning bridge was 41 g). Yay!
(9) I’ll be happy to, but I won’t be able to get to it until later this evening.
I’ll tone it down a little. Lady B. is the color queen, though. She gets the last word.
I like the brightness! It makes me happy.
So, I have strep throat.
It hurts to breathe, and I can’t talk. Though, forgetting the cons, I can’t go to school until at least Thursday! ONE DAY WEEK!!!!!
Pretty colors and fantastic picture.
I like the picture Lady B. It reminds me of the “love ducks” episode of Arthur. Does anyone remember that? Or did none of you watch Arthur? Everyone up here did (and in my case does)
Favorite colors so far.
The picture! I can’t look away!! Good hyptnotizing (whatever) skills, Rebecca.
9- Haha elevated bridge… lilly & michelle are doing that on my science olympiad team and they’re well-known procrastinators… probably won’t get finished until the day before regionals. last year they broke the bridge three days before State… good times.
Awesome colors! ♥
HOUSE IS ON TONIGHT AND FRINGE IS ON TOMORROW! the only things that make the beginning of the week bearable.
Wow! Now I forget what the last picture was!
Honestly, I can’t handle the colors. They’re too bright and clashing. Isn’t it still winter?
16 – Aaaah. Elevated bridge. My friend was in that, but I was in Herpetology and it kicked my butt. But Forensics was fun, even if we did fake our chromatography results.
HOUSE IS AMAZING 
I rather like the colors, but they do hurt one’s eyes. At least they might keep me from staying on the computer for hours on end!
New colors! But I agree with Purple Panda – they’re too bright and clashing. Plus, the hot pink could bring unwanted HPBS to the blog. If you change them, how about red and gold for Chinese New Year?
DANGER DANGER: CANNOT HANDLE BRIGHT COLORS. CANNOT HANDLE BRIGHT COLORS.
Yippee new colors! The picture is psycidellic (or however you spell it.)
12- Good thing you can still type.
16- And the day after that, Marvel. com will have a new Top Ten list!
Oh, I love the colors! They’re so bright and peppy!
I especially like the plum font. That’s one of my favorite colors.
I love the picture, too.
I’m in a very good mood today.
I’m with Pan on the colors. My eyes hurt.
The picture I do like, though.
The colors are over-the-top-obnoxious. Which I like right now.
A change would be fine by me though.
19- How do you fake a chromatography test‽
ooooh pretty colors. I like these. I need help. My freind and i are having a war over weather the band muse or the magazine/blog/way of life muse is better. this next bit is directed toard C——.
this is you once I EAT YOUR KNEES
and give my pencil back or i will tip off the bunnies to come get you
ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooowwwlllllll
Note to all musers (unlike c——):
Sorry about that but there is nowhere else I can get pie and HPB smileys and those were crucial to my plan.
“I eat your knees?”
I am totally using that.
Movies thread, anyone?
19 – My friend and I did Science Crime Busters last year. It’s the middle school version of Forensics. We wanted to do burn tests on the plastics, but I think we mostly ended up scaring the event supervisor. He wouldn’t let us. Apparently, burning plastic gives of poisonous fumes. Who knew?
I dialed back the colors a little and hope I’ve struck a balance that will satisfy those who liked the bright colors and those who found them too intense.
By the way, Rainbowstar, none of the colors were HPB pink. Totally different wavelengths.
31–Although I had no real aversion to the bright (and somewhat clashy) colors, I think I like this better…..Yup, definitely. and I definitely like the random changing of colors at random points of time.
I like randomness…..(well, obviously, I am a Muser). And I”m babbling……must not have gotten enough sleep last night….
Australia Day yesterday! Yippee! As the mayor (or whichever old word who was speaking at the time) said it was hot, flags were flying, there was bushfire smoke all over the place, and there was a cricket match going on in Adelaide.
I am SO GLAD I can just walk to the park, and miss the (mostly) really bad rock concert but still see the fireworks. Yay!
And school’s back (not that it really affects me, being homeschooled), party’s over, I feel a bit deaf, and I am STILL happy. Because I got Muse today! And have decided all you have to do to make it arrive is comlain about it being late!
And I see my friends again on Saturday, so there will be someone who is actually crazier than I am! I hope. At this rate, the only persin who can be as insane as I am is C, and I won’t see her till next Saturday…
29- (“I eat your knees?â€) ?
Hello. Woah bright! *is tired and has to get up very early tomorrow and should be sleeping now but is stupid*
PLayed music with mom and a friend tonight and it was lots of fun. I think we all did rather well actually, since there was some really_hard_stuff and I’d only gotten around to practicing last night. Lateish. Oooooooopppsssss. *fails miserably at looking innocent*
I’m tired. I need to go to bed. I need to wake up early tomorrow. I’m going to Washington, DC. I finished the second book of the Hornblower series. I’m rambling and there probably isn’t any moderation anyway. I’d be surprised if there was. I’d be surprised if there was an elephant on my porch too, but that was extremely random and so I shall leave now. Besides, very bright colors on a screen in the dark when one is tired is a little much, in the daylight it would be okay though.
Goodnight.
-sigh- School tomorrow. Meh. I have Intro to Strings, but my dad didn’t go to Seattle this weekend after all, so my uncle has to mail the violin, so I won’t have it till Thursday. Goodness knows what I’ll do tomorrow. Wander around the orchestra room listening to everyone else play, probably.
I HAVE A SNOW DAY!
So, I finished my exam for today, so now I have a few hours in the library to listen to NASA TV and go on MB.
Woah. This comment box is a litte much. Maybe a slightly darker hot pink?!
Question: What is the url of the site about racial bias in the March 2006 issue of muse?
27 – We faked it. They gave us the thingy and made us work out the rate of flow, and we ran out of time, so we faked the rate of flow results.
28 – Okay, MARFykins.
oxlin~ https : // implicit.harvard. edu/implicit/
41- Oh, rate. I thought you meant you somehow colored a test strip without actually running a sample through the paper.
Ah!
I EAT YOUR KNEES
42 – Haha, of course not. That would be impossible!
…Or would it? o.0
37- YOU HAVE AN ALTER EGO!
Oops! Why does it keep switching to my alter ego?
Hello. Snow day! Went sledding, bumped on a snow pimple, and now my butt hurts.
ANYWAY, movies thread, anyone?
NO ONEremembers the Love Ducks?????? How can this be???? Arthur is an american show. You should know these things.
Ms. C lent me a violin until mine arrives.
I haven’t started using the bow yet, I’m just learning the fingering, but it’s hard. I’m just not very coordinated. It’s fun though, even when I suck. Now I’m going to go make dinner and work on fingering!
47–Arthur wasn’t one of my favorites when I was a kid. So, I’ve seen very few episodes, and most of those have been since I entered middle/highschool, and reintroduced myself to childrens’ tv (it seriously beats soap operas)….But that episode doesn’t sound familiar…… *shrug*
48 – It’ll get easier. Great choice of instrument, though!
Why can’t Rafe just get that killer already?! I mean he’s gotten free about 3 times… Annoying Days suspense addict scriptwriters…
You know, I’ve never really developed a taste for knees.
Yeah, there’s snow here! Maybe 4-5″. You can’t see the grass, or the street now. I think we’re having sleet or freezing rain now, and it’s supposed to continue.
Schools were mostly closed, but I continued with my classes. There will probably be another snow day tomorrow if we get ice.
Is anyone else getting snow? I see 37 and Beavo are…
Awesome picture and blog colors. Hot pink seems cheerful and certainly appropriate around here!
48~ The violin is a very awkward instrument to play, believe me. There’s a reason that the majority of bowed string instruments are held between the legs. (Think viols, Mongolian Horsehead fiddles [morin hur, but I don’t know how to spell it], and all sorts of other musical beasties.) It’s weird but you will eventually get the hang of it, just wait until you start using the bow! All I can say is be as relaxed as you can be without dropping it, sounds easy but is devilishly hard.
52~ Yup, snow here all day (presumably) and it’s still coming down.
It was rather slushy in Washington DC, but lovely with the grey buildings, and the castle (Smithsonian institute) was breathtakingly beautiful when we walked out of the Natural History museum (we went to see the orchid exhibit–wow!).
We spent most of the time though in the American History museum where our friend works. AMAZING DAY.
Guess what?? We got to hear two of the instruments from the collection being practiced on in the morning!
52–you don’t know what you’re missing. Knees are quite delicious.
There’s a bit of snow here, it’s been rather cold (the humidity definitely does make a difference, I’ve decided) today, and sorta snowing all day. I think we’ve got the most snow we’ve had here since I started school. That is, there might be an entire centimeter. (Wow, yeah, I know, that hardly counts as snow, but…..)
52- We had snow this morning but there wasn’t any delay or anything. Not here, anyway. Every other school in the area did. I don’t really mind, actually, ’cause it meant I got to start violin lessons!
In global studies, Mr. F asked us to write down all the reasons we shouldn’t be in school. I was quite excited, because it looked like we were going to have an intelligent discussion, actually, and Mr. F admitted that he wasn’t entirely sold on the school system. But after that he went on to tell us all about money and how school was good because you could get lots of money if you had a degree. I sort of tuned out, but we’ll probably have a test on it and I’ll regret it. It’s just…lame. What’s the point, anyway? Why do you want to get a good job? So you can retire? What do you do then, I ask you? Meh… Learning for the sake of learning is wonderful (sometimes). Learning solely to get rich so you can retire seems to me a sad sort of goal. To each ens own, I guess, but must they force it on me?
OH GOD FRINGE IS SO GOOD I CANNOT TAKE MINE EYES OFF THE LIQUEFYING BRAINS. <33333
What is this about eating knees? I must admit that I’ve never eaten them, being a vegetarian. However, I’m sure they’re delicious, perhaps they’ll come out with a soy option soon.
55~ Going to school to get a job to retire so you can do nothing. Uh huh, I think it’s weird too. If I get a job that pays well it’s because I want the job itself, not because of the monetary benefits.
53- oh what i wouldn’t give to go to D.C.
especially the Smithsonian! it sounds like you had fun, though, so cool. your friend works in the American History section? gaaaahhh
56- CURSES
It’s not on for five more minutes…curse you pacific time zone!
knee eaters…unite? i want to make a bad pun about joints and ligaments but i need to go watch fringe argh
Firefy’s over.
-tragic sob-
I want to be part of a science fiction TV show.
Actually, I want to write one.
And act in one.
I don’t really have a preference. It just looks like so much fun.
Well, I have lots to do before bed, so I’ll see you all in the morning, or maybe the afternoon.
Thanks Vendy!
I am enjoying drawing more and more. I like drawing people with insect wings.
Snow day! *dhd*
We’ve been having a lot of these lately. A snow day and a delay the week before last completely screwed up our final exam schedule, but it ended up working out okay. And no I’m DONE! (Er…with the first semester. But still!)
re: Science Olympiad bridges- a few people from my school are doing that, too. I don’t think they’re very far along, but the design seems to look sturdy so far. I’m doing a bunch of other events, including Write-it-do-it! (I love that event. It’s the best. Ever. *hugs w-i-d-i*)
Rebecca (31): Thank you so much, it makes it a lot easier to come to the blog now. Is there a schedule to the times the colors change, or is it completely random?
Kagcomix (47): I loved Arthur! I belonged to an Arthur book club in elementary school, so I have all the books, too! I don’t like the new voice actor for Arthur, though. I’m not sure how l ong he’s been on the show, but the last time I saw it on actual television, he definitely sounded different than I remembered.
Midnight Fiddler (53): That’s really cool! What instruments?
Alice (59): I started watching Firefly! Well…by “started watching” I mean I watched about an hour of the first episode, before running back to my room to work on my graduation project. But I really like it!
I have a Snow day! Finally, I can work on my stories….
Another snow day! Or, more accurately, an ice day. No tree damage yet, but everything is glazed rather heavily. When ice forms over snow it always gets a bit dangerous, and it’s so thick I can walk around without breaking through! My poor dog looked a little sad and confused trying to walk about. In fact, his movement could be more accurately described as skating, and he very nearly ended up skating right up onto the porch.
The ice would likely make for a rather fast ride sledding down any hill!
I’m not sure how well the ice can be shoveled, though. They haven’t plowed yet, and the road looks more like an ice skating rink than a safe traveling option.
all you people suck. I am forced into the confines of mental prison(junior high). My school administrators suck too.
SNOW DAY!!!
59- I’d be in it with you!
Three unrelated facts:
1) We had a two-hour delay today.
2) I have the song “99 Red Balloons” stuck in my head.
3) The Challenger Disaster was 23 years ago today.
58~ He actually volunteers as a docent in the “Price of Freedom: American’s at War” exhibit in the larger American History Museum run by the Smithsonian. If you’ve not yet been to DC you really should come someday, it’s amazing.
61~ The Amati violin and viola. It was quite exciting!
63~ Aww, poor Milo! I can just see him skating around the yard, he’s such a cutie. Yes, sledding on ice is AMAZINGLY fast and exhilarating, just be really careful because once you get a rut carved out if you fall off the sled you can get serious cuts on the ice edges. Don’t ask me how I know this, you know me relatively well, you can guess if you have to.
).
That said, I hope I can get out today for a bit and go screaming down the big hill (I don’t stand on the sled when it’s this slick, don’t worry
64~ Sorry that you aren’t happy in school, but I don’t think we have anything to do with that. In fact, I believe you’ll find that there are a lot of MBers who are less than thrilled about school.
64) But think of it this way: school is a game. There are some rules you can break, others you can bend and others break you. In, for example, latin class, you can get away with reading Eragon under the table all the first semester, as long as you study for the tests. But woe to whoever chances to look at the window during french class. Know thine teacher, then exploit ens weaknesses while seeming to pay attention. Works for me (except in art, where I got a B- minus for “neglecting to show up every second week” (i.e. having different priorities).
Does anyone know the game werewolf ? We play it during the breaks at school… It’s basically a game where you get to lynch other players. It’s also everyones favorite game. Gives you quite an impression of them, doesn’t it ?
Know thy teacher. “Thy” and “thine” are like “a” and “an”: know thine instructor, thine educator, thine illuminator; but know thy teacher, thy professor, thy mentor.
69) oops.
I also wanted to say- the english name of the game is “The werwolves of millers hollow”…
*sings*
Neunundneunzig luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont…
Thanks. Now I’ve got it, too.
Oh my, the GAPAs are now singing in….what, German? Wow, yet another talent that is brought to the surface!
71- AH! I hate that song! If I’m going to listen to foreign attempts at pop music from the 80’s I’m at least going to listen to A-Ha.
(73) Aw, how can you hate a song that has lines like:
“Neunundneunzig Düsenflieger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk”
(Roughly translated: “99 jetplanes, each one a great warrior who thought he was Captain Kirk.”)
I just like “Captain Kirk” popping up amidst the German. Reminds me of when I watched episodes of the original “Star Trek” dubbed in French while I was in Québec.
71- Sorry. It’s not a BAD song, it’s just stuck in my head!
(75) That’s okay. Songs get easily stuck to me. Velcro brains. For some things at least, provided they’re sufficiently unimportant.
Or maybe because it’s because the soundtrack in my head never stops.
Another snow day!
And almost enough money for my iPod!
49- WHAAAT? *outrage*. It is the children’s television show. IT is alright. I will forgive you. It is rather wonderful. I deffinitely suggest watching it.
52- We are getting quite a bit of snow.
61- yeah. Arthur, Brain and D.W.’s voice actors change a lot. Arthur being the most frequent. I don’t have a problem with the new guy. My favorite character is Mr. Ratburn.
We never get snow days. I have experienced a snow day once in my life. It’s fine though. I don’t really mind. Has anyone ever played Munchkins? or whatever it is called. It’s a D&D parody. We played it today at lunch and got kicked out of the library. I would actually love to learn to play D&D.
78- Munchkin is fun! I have a lot of it…
78- I played once and found it fun. The rules look incredibly complicated at first, but once you get used to it it’s not too hard.
80- Indeed. I can never find willing players, though…
81- I have the opposite problem. The only willing GM I know is my old friend E. who I see about once every three months. If I’m lucky.
It would be too hard to play a ruled (as opposed to freeform (BA ,etc.) RPG over Mb, I suppose…
83- Indeed. Although I’m still in favor of a RPG set in Robert’s old imaginary country, Prussiania.
Yes, that would be fun. My main problem with freeform RPGs is there is no limit, and no GM. I like rules, and constraints, I think they make it more fun.
That reminds me: I’ve discovered a few fragments of Prussianian art, which I’ll have to scan and post when time permits.
85- To a certain degree, I agree. Constraints usually enforce fair play and encourage you to use creative solutions. However, sometimes I get sick of rules and regulations and want to return to simple make-believe. It largely depends on the mood I’m in.
86- Awesomesauce.
Hello! I got my violin today! It’s gorgeous…and much more noisy than Ms. C’s violin, which doesn’t make any sound at all when I take it out of the box.
86- Hoorah!
Hiya MB! Gosh! This semester is gonna be a doesy! I’m not gonna be able to come on as here as often, but I’m gonna try!
I…
have…
RETURNED! WITH A VENGEANCE!
Hello, all. How are you this fine evening? I am partially sick (I’ve had nausea all day- not easy in band) and have heaps of homework. I cannot find my planner, and in turn I will get detention tmorrow, and thusly not be able to audition with my friends for the talent show.
Pretty good, for myself.
I’m listening to Yael Naim’s “New Soul” (it is flam), I’ve realized that it kind of describes life for sixth graders. Not really, but I like it.
My MB comics are coming along quite nicely! I’ve written one about HP books, bunnies, Miss Swann and RtH’s marriage, archery, Mr. Joe in space, and typewriter rivalry. Lo, they are just stick figures, but I am proud of my dialogue (and I have never drawn a typewriter so well).
And now, replies…
0: Beautiful! *clapclapclap*
88: Great! I think of you as a string.
Grape plays the cello, and she remarked to me, “Those small strings are really stupid.” You see, during her orchestra period, Mr. Fish BLEW UP at the violins and violas. When he gets mad, his face turns red. The kid sitting next to her whispered, “His face is almost as red as his hair.” To which she replied, “What hair?”
I collapsed in laughter when I heard that. Band kids have the most inside jokes, hands down.
This is what happens when I’m away from Museblog! My typing suffers extenisvely!
I must go and check the other threads! Blark!
It was my half-birthday today, and the Curtain Club gave me a pretty Locker sign.
Woa. Lady Bunniful, I am transfixed by the emoticon mandala. It is a work of evil genius. I must go back to staring at it. Bye for now –
91- Every possible, every possible, every possible mistake.
I am just a new soul, in this very strange world.
86- Oh, primary sources!
87- I agree, sometimes rules exist only to be circumnavigated.
88- Do you mean it projects better? That is a better instrument.
I need to learn CSS. Anyone have advice?
Bye Rosanne!
I’ve torn myself away from the emoticon mandala again for a few minutes at least.
And speaking of German… (post 74…)
Anyone remember the TV show “Alf”? It was a TV series during the late 1980’s starring an extraterrestrial from the planet Melmac. Well, what’s odd about it is it seems that it was REALLY popular in West Germany, from what my husband (who grew up there) tells me. Alf’s still a big cultural icon there. But here he’s pretty much forgotten.
So I’ve been wondering about why the Germans are so taken with him. I wonder if the actors who dubbed in the German were better than the Americans. Or maybe the German translators improved on the script. Or Germans just like Melmacians.
/cross-cultural ponderings
Hi/Bye Vendaval —
(93, 96) *evil cackles*
95- oh my love for CSS is boundless. I learned from some shoddy tutorials actually…but it’s probably best to consult more official sites like W3C. I learned the “right” way only after taking a web design class. I’d also suggest making good use of view page source if you run Firefox. Books potentially help but with web design I always think you learn best from doing. You can also run your code through the W3C to check if it’s validated, which is an awesome feature! (My code never seems to be valid…sigh)
CSS really helps with organization, as it’s easier to define an external stylesheet than specify values for each and every page. I always have problems getting my external stylesheet to agree with me but when they do it’s lovely!
humm I wonder if I can show code on here? well I’ll try.
This was for defining properties of >p<
p { font-family: tahoma;
font-size:10px;
color:#CFCFCF; }
I hope that worked. Well as you can see it’s a bit like normal html, but more solidly grouped. I think it’s so much cleaner.
I need to brush up on my coding honestly, I’m so rusty.
har har that would be <p>
this is what i get for typing at 11:30…
Hello! I am back in civilisation after 4/5 days aboard the Elwing yacht. I am dead! I havnt had a shower in ages!
The weather was awesome for Stewart Island, and every morning at 8 we swam in the cold sea! It was crazy, and our leader- Arthur- was soo scary! But he was pretty nice
Yesterday we went snorkelling, it was sooo cool. It was in the open sea at Sailors Rest and there were some HUGE jellyfish, they didnt sting, but I was pretty afraid anyway! Also they have massive underwater seaweed forests that I kept almost swimming into, it would have been awful if I did, I was afraid of what was living there, and Arthur kept talking about sharks because one girl- Priscilla, from the Netherlands, kept asking “are der sharks here? Are dere?” so he said yes…sooo scary!
We also went kayaking, have you done that before? it was really fun but tiring. Priscill and me shared a kayak and we fell off a lot of the time because Priscilla loves to annoy the boys and hold their kayaks so they have to carry us behind themthen she splash them with our paddle! Shes crazy and we were most of the time in the water trying to get onto our kayak!!!
We went for heaps of walks around bush and on beaches. On the beaches we picked up starfish and cockles/mussels that we ate for tea sometimes. Arthur loves the nature and sometimes he would make us sit far away from each other and just be quiet so we could hear the bush sounds, it was really beautiful!
On the ferry back from Stewart Island, to Bluff, (thats the most South town in New Zealand, I think) It was horribly rough, with 3 metre swells. I don’t get seasick, but Priscill and Jacinda did and they ran outside…it made me feel sick too, and heaps of other people on they ferry were sick, it was sooo disgusting, they even slowed the ferry right down and some lady was REALLY sick (I thought we were turning right round and heading back to Obam!!!) and when we finally got back to Bluff wharf there were 2 ambulances waiting :O
Also, nearly everybody (except Priscilla) was born and bred in Southland/South Otago and I have come back sounding a bit like a farm hand. With a little Dutch accent mixed in there too! I had the worst ever fish and chips in Invercargill before we left to go home, the chips were not salted and the fish was tiny…Do you eat fish and chips in the USA? I have never heard of it there, although my knowledge is based on movies ><
I have 4 more days of blissful summer nothing…
Well, I am going to bed now, see you all
sftdp but I don’t know how “have you done that before?” got in there…a mystery…
100- I haven’t ever eaten fish & chips, but that’s just me.
102) Fish and chips are awesome. Though it depends on how the fish is cooked sometimes.
100-That sounds amazing!!!!!!!!!! There are some restaurants that have fish and chips here but I haven’t had many different ones so I don’t have a lot to compare things to. I really like them though.
102-I loooovvveeee fish and chips! You should try them sometime.
86-Sweeeeet!
I have a 2 hour delay today. Yesterday was a snow day. I like starting school later because I’m much more awake. I normally get to my first class before sunrise, except toward the end of the year when the days get really long.
84) I love that song ! The english version stinks, though. As for the alf show… I don’t know about germany, but there was a big si-fi generation here. Star Trek and all those other shows were very popular when my dad was a kid. Right now, fantasy has taken over though- every kid in my class has read Eragon, though I don’t think the movie sold well…
*hums 99 Luftballons*
96 – Actually, our Language Arts final was based around ALF last year. No one had ever heard of him except my teacher.
105- Yes, my parents used to watch Star Trek a lot. My mom tells me about how when she was little, she was mad because Star Trek was on after her bedtime, so her older sister had to describe the episodes to her.
100–yeah, there are definitely some places in the US that sell fish and chips. Perhaps not as many as in, say, England for example, but we do have them. Of course, the only time I remember eating them was in……England. Canterbury, mainly, there was this small little fish and chips shop that sold ’em in little cones. ’twas quite nice, though they gave us the oddest looks when the troupe of us (there were a good six or seven of us choir kids) asked for ketchup. And they had these tiny little spork things that I think we were supposed to be using to eat the fish’n’chips, and we tired at first, we really did, but……that just took forever, and we ended up tossing them aside into the trash, in favor of our fingers. I had fish’n’chips a couple other places, as well. Like London at some fancy restaurant before going to see Starlight Express…..
But the crepes we had in Canterbury, from some little streetside vendor–MMMmmm–those were to die for. Really, absolutely scrumptious.
ok, SFTDP, but I would like to semi-randomly announce, that if any of you are considering getting a printer, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT get an HP photosmart C4400, because it is a complete and total absolute piece of crap. And no, this is not an exaggeration: every time (EVERY time) you go to print something (all the mor eoften if it is something important, it seems, or perhaps since all but 3 or 4 things I’ve tried to print since starting school are important, it just always does it), it pops up saying,sorry, your printer is offline and cannot be reached. Usually fixed with yelling obscenities at it and restarting the printer and disconnecting and reconnecting the USB, but……..
yeah, just save your money.
(and if you’re wondering why I am randomly posting this, it is because it is completely refusing to print a recommendation I need for a scholarship, and I have not only restarted the printer and reconnected over 7 times, but also restarted the computer, to no avail. It would seem it has finally decided to completely malfunction. bloody chizpurfles.) so stay away from those stupid printers!!!!!!!
[/anti hp printer rant]
109- Um, it might not be the printer’s fault. You have a mac, yes? The printer might not be compatible easily with your network. Make sure you’ve got the right settings. Have you tried googling “HP photosmart C4400 offline help”?
I’ve found that people often don’t try to find help on the internet to fix their computer problems, or blame the wrong component.
CSS: I’ve been coding html for a while, so I’m used to shoddy tutorials, but I think I need to take a class. There was one I looked into at FIT, but it was at a bad time. I was thinking I should get a book, but maybe I’ll just go ahead and continue writing if you don’t think they’re that helpful.
Whoa… I love the new layout!!!!! It’s so…. happy!
Which is good because I need happy. It snowed the other day and then it rained. Which is bad because this morning there was ice. And I almost slipped a bunch of times.f
Also, I keep on bumping into people/things. My friend says I’m cursed because I trip too much and always manage to drop/spill everything I hold. Oh well. ;D
In English we’re reading The Outsiders. It has to be the best book I have ever read that I didn’t pick out. I LOOOOVE JOHNNYCAKE!!!! I wanna go up to him and say, “It’s OK. Come get a hug!”
Anyway other than that life has been boring. My mom is going to go psychotic because I got a 93 on my science midterm, but what else is new?
OOOOOPS!!!
I forgot to say that (according to Olivia Munn on Attack of the Show) that it’s National Pie Week.
I think the timestamps are wrong on the posts. xP
110–yup, a Mac. However, my dad (who does computer programming, so is, I would say, is therefore probably pretty knowledgeable about computers and such) got me both the computer and the printer, so I don’t think that it would be that it’s not very compatible with the network. That is, I’m pretty sure dad spent a lot of time looking into what would be the best printer for me to get with my mac laptop.
As far as googling for help–I did try this at one point, without finding much helpful. And of course, I don’t exactly have a lot of time to spend on that……dad googled for help, too, but….his main suggestion was reinstalling the software to my computer, which I did, months ago.
I dunno–it probably is not the line of printers, in general, but I do think that this specific one, at least, has issues. Chizpurfles, you know–just like our oven and fridge/freezer back home.
111–93? out of 100? why would your mother go psychotic? the implication I got from your comments was that she would think it a bad grade? but that doesn’t make sense……93 (assuming out of 100, here) is a very good grade.
SFTDP. Vendy–tried googling it again–mainly what I’m coming up with is lots of other people who have HP printers of the same series are having the same issue. And have also tried the troubleshooting tips of reinstalling the software, etc, to no avail….I dunno. It’s possible that it doesn’t like my computer, or equally possible I just got a faulty printer……all I know is–i’m very fed up with the whole thing. Which, of course, is where my post 109 came from–me, venting, after spending half an hour fighting with it, without any result.
109 – My printer always has a screen pop up that says that it’s offline, but then the connection goes through and it prints in about a minute. Did you give it time?
115–I will try that, see if it will eventually print despite that. I can hope!
115–You are brilliant! It did it’s typical “printer is offline”, but instead of messing with it, I let it set, and then, after about 4 minutes–success! *hugs&choklit*
108- I looooove crepes! All kinds!
117 – Hooray! Glad it worked.
Reason Number Fourty-Three Why Purple Panda Loves Pittsburgh:
We ALREADY have a 2-hour delay scheduled for Monday, the day after the Super Bowl. If the Steelers win the game, it’s likely that they’ll cancel school.
Hmmmm….“Long-term MuseBloggers who turn 18 but want to continue using their pseudonyms for reasons of privacy may ask special permission from the administrators.”
I never actually asked special permission…..I just did [continue posting under my pseudonym].
That’s all right. We figured that was your way of asking. If it had bothered us, we’d have bothered you about it.
122–oh, I’m sure you would’ve. You GAPAs can be very bothersome…..
just kidding!
nah, I do believe I’d remembered half the clause (long-time MBers who were 18 could continue using their pseudonym), but had forgotten the other half (that they ask permission). but, yeah, I figured if y’all were bothered you would have said something months’n’months ago! I was just randomly reading through the rules (don’t ask, anything to put off finishing recopying my six pages of history notes legibly. I have this one spot where my ring finger presses against my pencil that has been constantly sore–when writing, which is often–since Tuesday–very annoying)…..
Anyway, I guess I should finish with that, as I only have a page and a half to go…..

TED (Technology Entertainment Design) is an awesome stupendous flamablamablous organization that brings in guest speakers in all fields for 18 minute talks. I imagine some could be filmed at Muse Academy- all are awesome, but for different reasons. Scott McCloud gave a great talk on comics, and the future of comics on the computer.
Anyways, go watch a talk on TED dotcom.
You’ll enjoy it.
I also suggest Jonathan Harris to start out, his site WeFeelFine dotorg is a masterpiece in data collection and visualization.
I don’t really feel like reading any comments.
Anyways, like half my friends got into Thomas Jefferson High School, which I am totally not jealous of, even though Mom is.
Rehersal in thin socks + really working for the first time this month in gym class + messed up block scheduling (running everywhere trying to figure out where I’m supposed to be) – a good shower yesterday = hurty feet.
I had an interestingly random day today.
First block: Band. AKA torture. We are soooooo horrible.
Second block: Health. Hahahaha, we have the randomest health class ever. Me, Connor, Terry, Julia, Maria, Gobby (don’t ask), Ketan (like Nathan with a K, in case you were wondering) and Meghan. We all just burst out saying random stuff all the time. It was so funny this morning. I got in at the same time as Connor, and we were the only ones there. Just try to picture this for a minute: Connor is about 6’2″ and lumbers around like a bear. He doesn’t have a face because with his hair you can only see his nose. So we walk in and each of us flops down on a couch, takes off our shoes, and grabs a blanket. We exchange a few words about how tired we are, then kinda fall half asleep. Terry walks in and says a bunch of loud stuff. We sort of wake up, and other people walk in. So then Connor starts saying the words to the llama song… I didn’t recognize it at first because he was mumbling but then he said “llama llama duck” and I went “Hey, that’s the llama song!” So everyone starts saying the words really fast, and then the sub (who’s this old psychiatrist guy) walks in just as we yell “LLAMA LLAMA DUCK!!” And he looks at us like we’re crazy, which we are. And so we watch a movie about bipolar disorder and one about schizophrenia, and people make comments, but otherwise I just basically go to sleep. About halfway through the schizophrenia movie, we notice Terry and Connor fighting over the blanket. Terry’s going, “I’m cold, Connie! Give me the blanket!” And he’s like “No!” so she turns so she’s using the arm as a pillow and puts her feet on his lap. And she HAS a boyfriend, who is not Connor. And then he puts his feet on her lap, and they’re like playing Footsie or something, and we’re not quite sure whether to crack up, ask Terry WHAT Zain (her BF) is going to think, or go “EWWWW!” And then the sub guy goes, “Do I WANT to know what you’re doing under there?” and we lose it. That was the best health class ever. Oh yeah, and then Connor raised his hand and asked the guy if his beard grew like that naturally or whether he cut it that way. Connor is extremely strange.
Tutorial: Treblemakers. It’s a select chorus made up of about 30 people. It was fun, but just because I got to sing.
Lunch: The Lemonade Disaster. Hajehne’ (a 7th grader) pushed the button on the lemonade dispenser and the lemonade poured all over the floor. It wouldn’t stop pouring. We put about 10 cups underneath it, but it got all over the floor. I was cracking up. No offense to Hajehne’, but he’s really stupid…
Third block: Science. Terry braided the back of Connor’s hair and put some of it in a ponytail, and she and I put bows in. It was my idea, when I found several spools of velvet ribbon sitting in the box with the scissors and glue sticks we were supposed to be using (though by that time we were all done but Sam, who is literally schizophrenic, and bipolar, and a bunch of other stuff).
Last block: Latin. Connor took his hair out
I wanted to show Mr. O’Malley! (the teacher)
121, 122 – who’s with me that the vogans would hate the GAPAs right now?
120-are you kidding me? that’s crazy!!! and horribly lucky…
I am in a dilemma. I woke up to an empty house today my mum is at school (shes a teacher, so she’s preparing classes, I think) and dad was on a feild trip (he teaches botany at the University) and anyway they had both woken me at separate times to tell me things. My mum said something along the lines of “Im going now, theres a note on the table” and I thought my dad said “get up early, there is an electrician coming to fix your light(which is broken), and the one in the lounge(not broken to my knowledge) he will probably ring to say when he is coming, maybe at 8:30.” the thing is…nothing or nobody has rung, or come to our house and I just cannot work out if it is a dream or not because I remember debating with him “can’t he come tomorrow” and then he said “tomorrow is Saturday” (which is true in NZ) really REALLY weird!
The reason is
110) It all depends on how you think and learn. Books did help me, actually, and the constant stream of tutorials (not shoddy) in class. That’s probably why a class would be best, but I didn’t have to pay for mine since I took it though school. hmm I am being rather unhelpful. well I hope it works out whatever you choose to do!
Now I want fish and chips! grrr I don’t evne like fish and chips…
life is stressing me out more than usual. maybe I am going to explode. or at least go insane. sigh.
sftdp but my computer was jumping and skipping so I ended up typing the “The reason is” in a different place to where it was meant to be…
127–who/what is a vogan?
My little sister is downstairs bewailing how horrible and cruel her science teacher is. I had that teacher for all of middle school, and I think she was one of the best teachers I’ve had. My sister is acting as though it’s my fault that the teacher singles her out if she gets low-ish grades, because I had straight A’s. She’s also acting like I’m constantly defending the teacher, which I’m not! I’m just letting her complain! How is it my fault that she got an 81 and the teacher “took [her] out into the hall and basically told [her] that [she] was horrible at science?” Which, by the way, I am certain is extremely exaggerated.
Auuughhh.
[/rant]
First clear weather in forever here! The moon is right by Venus and they both look very pretty.
125- TJHS? Hmm. I think kids I met at CTY go there. I’m not sure how I feel about schools that focus on one area, like science&math. Seems too restricting, but on the other hand, en would be really prepared for a field.
126- Aye aye!
127- “The reason is”
I don’t know if you submitted your post too early, but that’s a really powerful fragment. So full of potential, yet without even an ellipsis to hint at closure.
131- HG2G
Did anyone else see post 126 pop up late? Maybe I imagined it.
Need to go! argh I’m late for something that i didn’t know about, and I’m unsure. Major insecurity right now.
131 – A vile, disgusting alien mentioned in H2G2. They have the third worst poetry in the universe.
135 – You mean Vogons?
134, 135–oh. ok. I might remember them from the movie, now that I think about it. (I never did read the books, although thinks to you all, I was able to answer when my TA in chemlab–I forget why–asked what the meaning to life the universe, and everything was. Which, by the way, sounded totally wrong. It only sounds right ending in pie throwing…..anyway, I shouted 42 at him, and he said something about being happy that somebody answered……)
133- I had a hunch it was Venus. It’s just been driving me crazy that they’re not perfectly lined up. *tries to contain OCD* Gah! It’s driving me to the brink of madness! Speaking of which, is there any way to add one more comment to this thread to make an even 400? That’s been eating away at my soul for a while now.
I don’t understand why I’m so random today. I haven’t even had any caffeine. Or dinner. *contemplates meal choices* Nope, nothing sounds good.
136 – I thought that’s what she – Oh. Yes, it’s ‘vogons’.
88~ That’s great, have fun! What kind is it, just out of curiosity?
Oh my goodness, lots of posts! Ack!
It’s totally icy outside and it might be safer to wear ice skates down the sidewalk than boots, I’ve been sliding all day. >.< Not entirely pleasant.
Well, today I was alone because mom had a cello lesson. So pretty much I loafed around and ate. And did homework, probably not the best use of my time and energy (the taking lots of time to eat bit. But grilled rice cheese sandwiches made in the toaster are so good! But I digress….) however, I lived so whatever.
Vogons….yes, I remember them from reading the HG2G books while vacationing for a few weeks on a lake in the middle of nowhere. Reading all night and sailing by day, reading whie warming up from swimming in the freezing and nasty weed-ridden water. Gross slimy bottoms too, but lots of nice flat rocks for skipping. I’m rambling again, am I really that tired? Oh, guess I am. Sorry. Ugh, sore throats are not fun at all, even after a whole pot of tea I don’t feel that much better, just bathroom dependent.
So, to the other threads!
138- Now, now, you can’t order the Universe around…
Luna- The HG2G movie is way different from the book. Waaaay different. But whatever.
Finals are final-y over! I’m technically supposed to be having my 8th period final now, but 7th and 8th period are orchestra, so the teacher had an hour rehersal yesterday and said to not come today.
I wish it would snow again. I shouldn’t be complaining because I had a week of it before winter break, but January is when we usually have snow and there’s none now. I was reading my journal from last year about the snow day I had last year on this date exactly. All of my neighbors came to my house to play Apples to Apples. It was SOOO much fun! I wish that neighbors could be that neighborly more often.
Alice- Are you doing well at the violin? I never understand how something that tiny could be so loud. I also don’t understand how its so light. I pick one up and expect it to be as heavy as a cello, for some reason. Hmm.
142–oh, I’m sure they are. I didn’t mean to imply the vogons I think I remember from the movies were anything like the book, I was just….I dunno, saying that I thought I might vaguely know what was being talked about now….. whatever–I’m just confusing myself now.
132- a science mark of 81? thats bad? woah…either science is really easy or everyone is really smart where you live…I’m sorry to say that my mark for end of year was 77. AND I studied. The highest mark was 94 I think. Also I am in the top stream…
On the other post- it wasn’t a dream, the electrician was just busy yesterday, hes coming on Monday.
My mum said “walk” and my dog has gone a little mad. I am going for a walk with my dog now to the supermarket…
Bah, my iPod broke. Sometime last night while it was in my coat pocket it knocked against something heavy, and now the screen is completely white except for a big black spot. I can still play music, but I can’t see what I’m playing. If the warranty doesn’t cover it, Mother says she’ll buy me a new one, but it seems such a waste…
132 – I’m sorry.
144 – I consider an A- bad…
146) It’s different for everyone. I myself consider any A good, although 93’s can be pushing it. That’s just me though, I’ve never gotten anything less then 95 in a class. For other people it’s different. Gosh, my parents think that it’s a crime to get anything less then a 97.
Here’s their usual response…….
Me: *happy grin* OMG Dad! I got a 98 on my test! *is proud of self*
Dad: that’s nice. *looks at me as if I’ve done something wrong* What did you miss?
Me: *is deflated totally*
147 – o.0 That’s harsh.
147- It really depends on the subject with my parents. Anything in the 80s is okay for Math, but any other subject must be in the 90s.
146- Lucky for me, my school doesn’t have A minuses! So even if I get a 90% it still counts as a 4.0 on my grade-point average. My mom’s sort of dissappointed that I got strait 94-96s in all of my classes, but they’re still 4.0s! Then again, she’s from New York where they’re a lot stricter about their 4.0s and she was Valedictorian (Or however you spell it).
If it’s not a D, it’s good for me. I honestly don’t care about grades, I don’t need a closed-minded system to tell me I’m smart.
I KNOW I suck at math, thank you very much.
Mom cares, though. A or mad face. B or grounding. Her catchphrase: That sucks the big one. “You got a B in Spanish? That sucks the big one.”
147-My parents totally.
Me: “I got a 100% on my Civics test!”
Mom: Great!
Me: I missed a few, but I got extra credit.
Mom: WHAT?!!?111
My mom doesn’t care about percent as long as it’s an A.
Political SSSS
Huh, I wonder where all those billions of dollars went.
I dunno. But did I mention that I’ve suddenly decided to buy a new ferrari, a seaplane, and a summer home in the carribean?
Awesome! Can I ride with you in the seaplane?
No.
Aw.
Bailout Money: *poof*
(Wall street exec):
148) Yeah……… It is.
153)
147- Ugh. What an awful response.
(Taxpayer):
This recession has made me lose my job, my home, and my family…at least I know my tax dollars are going into the economic bailout.
*cruises past 
in ferrari*
…
147, 151- That’s happened to me.
re: grades. I personally am not happy unless I get an A. I dont’ care what percent A it is, as long as it’s an A. That is, I wasn’t quite as much a perfectionist in college (that is, I did not flip out over the two Bs I got–oh, let me rephrase: I don’t care what I get on an individual test, well, I wouldn’t really want a C, but as long as I pull an A in the course, I don’t give a crap what the individual grades were. That’s what I mean by two Bs–I’ve gotten Cs on a couple tests before, but the final grade was at lowest B.)
My parents I’m sure would prefer As (party because I’m happier, and partly cuz they just want be to be the best I can be), but they wouldn’t have an issue with Bs as long as I actually put my best effort into it, and didn’t just not try. Cs–i dunno, if I had honestly done my best, they prob alby would be a bit disappointed (partly because I would be disappointed), but I think they would still be “You did your berst. That’s all you can do.”
So, yeah.
I don’t have time to read up through the comments, but I just wanted to say a few things:
1.) Muse came today! I’m a bit confused about the different threads. There seem to be three different threads about the issue–which one is for which, and why are there so many? (I read something about spambots, but I’m still unsure which to post a discussion about, etc.)
2.) Model UN conference today! It was all day today, and will be all day tomorrow. Of the four conferences I have been to so far, this isn’t the best, but it’s okay. I’m representing Cuba in the Human Rights Council…which had all the promise to be fantastic, but the issues aren’t as interesting, especially with Cuba’s position. We’re discussing the crisis in Zimbabwe, water access in Africa, and the conflict in Sudan. To sum it all up, Cuba’s just sending everyone doctors! Last MUN conference, I was representing Tanzania in the African Union, so I’m a bit tired of African issues…especially since the issues we discussed in that conference were global warming (similar to water access), Sudan (same as we’re doing here), and Somalia. It has still been going well, though, despite the fundamental bore-factor of the issues, and I’ve written a resolution with China that seems to be gaining popularity.
a 90 is the lowest good grade. thats a low A-/High B+. I hate B+s.
What did people get percentile wise on their Standardized tests? I got in the 99th percentile.
I got into the performance crew!
I just hope H and everyone else did.
*Staring at screen amazed* OMG! i love those things! I know like a ton of’m! There for i will share.

I’m watching a very funny interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson:
“Pluto had it coming!”
Is anyone aware that there was an admiral in the american navy named robert coontz?
Yes, that’s my great-grandfather.
163- the daily show, right? He didn’t leave the studio until he finished a rubics cube they gave him in his gift bag.
166- I think so. Somebody on another site linked to it.
On a completely unrelated note, does anybody else here like the Greek New Age composer Vangelis?
I just drove on the interstate! I am in a state of shock. I can’t believe the driver’s ed teacher is sane.
145- Sounds like you just made it a high-capacity iPod Shuffle.
I know this isn’t quite the right thread for it, but it’s related to the discussion:
You know you’re addicted to space/physics when you have favorite physicists, much as other people have favorite musicians. You cheer when you see them on Discovery/THC/Nova.
Yeah geekiness!
165 – Weird!
168–I’m going to assume it wasn’t your first time behind the wheel? Presumably the driver’s ed teacher thought you were ready……I remember the first time I drove on the highway, after ahving only driven on backroads (but of course, that is way tame compared to what you’re talking about. I mean, the highway I’m referring to is only two lanes–that is, one each direction.) I was freaked, and gripping the wheel so tight.
Wait……you have an actual driver’s ed teacher?
My parents (more often my father) just taught me.
re:grades: My parents, strangely enough, don’t care about them at all. I have yet to see them enthusiastic about straight-As.
171 – Actually, it was, or nearly so (I’d practiced turning in the parking lot with my dad). For the first half hour the teacher was lecturing me on very basic things while still parked in the parking lot. Then he abruptly told me to pull out of the parking lot and started giving me directions to a neighborhood, where I practiced turnabouts for approximately ten minutes. Then we went onto the interstate. It was very weird.
173–I take back my prior statement. Your driver’s ed teacher is most definitely NOT sane.
I mean, before I even went on the “highway”, my dad had numerous lessons in a large gravel lot teaching me to turn, and drive in reverse in a straight line, etc, and then he took me on the side roads in that area, where it was like 45, and we did that numerous times before he made me drive home from there (about 3 or 4 miles–10 minutes or less–on the highway).
And I still didnt’ feel prepared, but I certainly wouldn’t have felt prepared to drive on the interstate (assuming we actally had one back home…..) after having spent pretty much only 10 minutes behind the wheel…..
Does anyone know of a reputable quicktime (mov) to wmv converter? I tried downloading Windows Media Encod from Microsoft’s website but it doesn’t work for what I want…I can’t seem to find any way to convert .mov to .wmv
well I found some sites but I’m wary of downloading any unofficial software.
I’m posting this just to bother everyone.
I LOST THE GAME.
Hahahaha.
I think it would be hilarous if someone hacked the school’s network, so at the exact time that someone was making a presentation from a laptop at an Assembly, the words “I LOST THE GAME” would come up on the screen, and all one thousand five hundred something students would lose at once. It might even start a riot.
Yeah, I sit in my room planning the destruction of the world via chaos and rioting…
OK, been meaning to post this for a while:
“Reality? Reality is for those who can’t imagine anything better.”
Yes, it is from the Simpsons, but it’s pretty descriptive of MuseBlog, no?
176: AAARGH! GAAAH! WHY??? WHY??? (The “why”s were directed to the deity presiding over the Game, so don’t feel you have to answer.)
176–doesn’t bother me. But then, perhaps that has something to with the fact that I don’t even know what “the game” is……just that I have heard a couple of you reference it before, and decided that it didn’t sound particularly interesting…..
Heh heh. AB and I stole Eva’s garden gnome, then wrote a ransom note by cutting letters out of the newspaper and pasting them onto a sheet of paper. It was very tedious, and it took us at least half an hour to write:
Eva
If u want 2 c your gnome you’re going to have to pay
And then we taped a nickel to the bottom of the paper, which was delightfully nonsensical. Then we broke into her house via the back door, slipped the note under her bedroom door, and bolted. I think we’re going to take pictures of the gnome in various low-tech-ly exotic places and send them to her. Eventually we’ll return it. It’s been great fun.
SFTDP. ok, yeah, I know what it is now, but I still don’t get what the point is, or why anyone finds it particularly entertaining, and thus why anyone wold be upset over “losing.” Seems rather pointless and, well, stupid, really. *shrugs*
180: It’s just a way to annoy one another, and have fun wailing over your nonimportant loss. Everyone needs a good wail once in a while.
180-Annoyance, mainly. Annoying people is fun sometimes, as any muser would know, although we tend to use slightly more intellegent ways…
176 – Argh.
Oh goodness, am I witnessing MuseBlog renovation?
