Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything
Rainbowstar, Zinc the sorceress, Hibiscus, and tangerine took over the Discovery Science Center on December 28.

I love the Kokopelli signs in the pinwall. Nice work, Kokonventioneers!

I hate when GAPAs do first posts! I would have been first! Well, anyway, I think the hurricane chamber looks fun.

Looks like lots of fun! But…. *feels very old*

Well, how old are you Luna? You’re probably not alone.
0
0
3) I feel old too, even though I’m just turing 14.
0

4–a month away from turning 19. So although I’m not alone (there are a small handful of us college kids), I am of a minority….
5–nice to know I’m not alone in my feeling of “oldness”.
0

I’m going to be 16 tomorrow. I feel sort of old.
I never imagined Zinc as blond…
0

WOWSERS! All of you look younger than I thought you were. :shockL I’m 12.
0
0
8- I know!
I’m turning fifteen, and MAN, do I feel old.
0
0
3- But we still love you!!!!!!!!!!
8- I know, right?
I’m 12, 13 in May, but I’m mistaken for someone who is at least 17 on a daily basis. You’d understand if you saw a picture.
Zinc! I love the tights! And you look like me with short hair!

happy almost birthday, KaiYves! Don’t worry Kokonilly, i feel the same way, but i’m also 12.
0
0
what is this thread about, by the way?
0
0
whenever an MBer posts their age, they always turn out older than i thought! except for kokonilly.
0
0
Yay!!! Photos!!
10-YES!!! She does!!! Freaky….
0
0
13 – Is that a compliment…?
0
0
13–Really? Because I find it to be the reverse–they always turn out younger than I thought. Take MissSwann as a case in point–if I had been forced to guess, I would ahve said she was around 15, 14 youngest, and now I am told she is 12?????????
0
0
Guess my age.
0
0
16: Ditto.
16: My age. Feeling old.
-I can give blood, which I should do again soon
-I can get my driving learner’s permit, which I’m not too thrilled about
So, what was the hurricane chamber?
0
0
I HAVE ARRIVED!!!
Please! Let this stay a Kokon thread, not a “wow I feel old” thread!
7: No one imagines me as a blond…
10: Those ain’t tights; they’re socks. *gloryfies in sock luv* Whoa, reallly??? *is spooked out*
Sorry I haven’t been on in a while. I’ve been awful busy. and now I have to get off… 
0
0
15- its not really anything…
16- well, everybody that had revealed when i made that comment.
also, i don’t form opinions if i don’t share many threads. but i agreed with you about MissSwan.
0

ok…..To try and get this thread back on topic, after having unintentionally sparked a stream of off-topic posts (I seem to have an uncanny knack for derailing threads…..):
So, the hurricane chamber–what is it, exactly? Does it do anything? Or is it just a little itty bitty capsule which you sit in? Not that wouldn’t be cool, just curious…….
The rock wall looks like lots of fun! We’ve got one at the rec center here on campus–I’ve been meaning to go and get certified (required for use–been meaning to since August) so that I can use it, cuz it would be muy awesome. Judging from the lack of ahrness, though, would I be correct in assuming it is not as tall as the picture makes it out to be? More of a bouldering wall, perhaps? Not that that isn’t just as cool, I don’t men that……

Aww I’m glad you guys had fun! Is the Discovery Science Center the one with the earthquake seat thing? It’s neat to finally see what everyone looks like.
I hope we can have a big socal kokon someday!
0
0
This is the closest a kokon has ever been to me!
0
0
Oh…wow. None of you look anything like I’d imagined you. Zinc, you look like a pair of identical twins that go to my school.
It looks like fun!
0
0
That looks like so much fun!
Zinc, you look somewhat like I’d imagined, I love your skirt!
Hibiscus and Tangerine look a lot alike, wow.
Rainbowstar isn’t wearing as many colors as I’d imagined though! 
0
0
so, what is this thread about?
0
0
26: Four Musers (including moi) got together in Southern California, and these are the pictures.
25: I love it too! It has a hole in the side, though. I got it at GoodWill!
22: Eggzactomuundelley!
21: It blows winds around you, and the grow in speed. Outside, there’s something that tells the speed. And no harm done. I kill threads, that must be worse!
Kyaa! I don’t feel unique anymore! Too many people look like me!
And Rainbowstar and her sisters can confirm I realy do have green eyes.
At first, we waited in side the museum. My knees were shaking so hard, I thought that they were going to fall off! Then we got inside we did the initial double take (whoa, she looks like that? I still can’t get over it) and eventually started joking around. Twas fun, but you should’ve seen the pictures we took inside off the triangle thing with the mirrors on all sides! 
0
0
Woah. That looks like some serious fun. I love those pin wall sorts of things.
0
0
Yes, the Kokon was a lot of fun. My only regret is that I didn’t get to have the fun of looking for Zinc. While we were in line to get tickets, my mom pointed at a big window and I saw Zinc waving from inside. Oh, and Hibiscus and tangerine are identical twins. Hibiscus is in green, and tangerine is in yellow.
0
0
29 – How old are all of you guys? Sorry if this has already been asked.
0
0
29–Ha! I thought so! (That Hibiscus and tangerine were [identical] twins).
0
0
30: Rainbowstar and I are both 11. I don’t know about H&T.
0
0
Hibiscus and tangerine are 9.
0
0
16- Yes, my age is shocking to some. But I’m rather flattered that someone online thought I was older than I was! 
0
0
27~ The best clothes come from Goodwill! *high fives*
29~ That would be why they look so much alike then……..(Hibiscus and Tangerine being identical twins)
34~ I thought you were older too.
0
0
35- Meh. Everyone does.
Syllabub tells me she wants a kokon. Anyone up for Boston, sometime in March?
0
0
I’d be up for a DC kokon, if anyone’s in the area and is willing to have it on a Sunday.
0
0
Minneapolis kokon?
0
0
Cool, it looks like you had lots of fun!
27 (Zinc)-Indeed, a kokonvention is an astoundingly exciting experience, which can be accompanied by quaking.
37-DC kokons are generally popular. Though I don’t know how much so during the school year. It’s bound to happen again, though. Perhaps we shouldn’t go any further with that on this thread, since it’s about a specific kokonvention!
It’s fun getting to see you all and having pictures to associate with words on the page!
0
0
37- Meh, can’t.
Boston? Anyone?
0
0
How old are they?
0
0
40- I’m there June 12-14, will you be there then? We could Kokon!
0
0
I could possibly do Boston in June. I’m trying to adapt and direct the performance of some scenes from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass for production in a beautiful garden so I might be busy…
0
0
40&42- i live near boston…
0
0
44- Alter Ego alert!…
Who are you??
0
0
42- I can go any time, I live close. And I’ll drag Syllabub with me, so it will be a proper Kokon. Anyone else?
0
0
WOW, you guys, you look younger than I imagined-closer to MY age. *swims in glory of being 10*
And I’ll be up in New York for 2 weeks in August, but I’ll be doing an acting camp, so the chance of a Kokon is so-so.
0
0
47- 
Nice wording of that phrase. I’m kind of drowning in the not-glory of being 12, however… people do quadrouple takes when I tell my age and I’m tired of it.
0
0
Yall make me feel old.
0
0
wait, you live near boston, most certainly not SudoRandom? so do I! what a coincidence! and why did you decide to use my name?
0
0
50–It’s an alter ego. It seems to be common practice to masquerade as “I am not [insert MuseBlogger name here]”.
0
0
I live about an hour or two from Boston…
0
0
50- i caught the reference, and i thought it was funny.
0
0
51- I once used ‘Definitely NOT MissSwann’, and no one guessed me. I had to tell everyone in the end.
So, Bookworm, SudoRandom, Rosequartz, Syllabub and me. Anyone else for Boston in June?
0
0
luna- i know that, i just wondered why he/she chose my name in particular.
0
0
what are pie points?
0
0
They’re some form of points. I have some, but I don’t believe they really do anything.
0
0
57- They look cool in your name. We should really make a currency system using points, that would rock.
0
0
55–oh, gotcha. 
0
0
Aw, cool Kokonvention!
I second the “oh my gosh I thought you guys were older” thing. I remember when someone thought I was sixteen last year… but that’s what you get for being one of the elite smartish people of th e universe like us Musebloggers.
0
0
So we’re decided on NYC in August?
0
0
60- How old are you?
0
0
54- Does the Boston Science Museum sound like a good location?
0
0
Boston/NYC Kokon: I wouldn’t say it would never happen. It would be more likely if there was another reason for me to be in the area. If I was in the area, it would be rather important to meet MissSwann!! 
0
0
64–Yes indeed. It’s about time you met your wife-to-be (or is it wife, now?) in person.
0
0
49-How old are you, KIWI gal? *adds creepy western/southern accent on*
0
0
54 – I once used Not Cat’s Meow, and got guessed right away.
0
0
how do you earn piepoints?
0
0
64/65 – Beavo is marrying MissSwan? Ooh, do tell.
0
0
69–No, Hawk is marrying MissSwann. If you want details, you’ll have to ask someone else–I was absent from the blog at the time it all transpired.
0
0
54- I might actually be able to make it!
0
0
54- What day in june? I might be able to be there
0
0
62-Almsot fourteen in April, you stalker.
69- I’d just like to know how you confused me with HAWK. MissSwann and HAWK have been happily [engaged? married? domestic partnershipped?] for a while now.
0
0
70/73 – Oops, sorry. That’s what happens when you’re reading a couple of threads at once. Care to explain the circumstances of Hawk and MissSwan’s engagement, in that case?
0
0
74–It’s ok. For whatever reason, when i first learned the news, probably back in october or thereabouts, I kept thinking it was Beavo as well. Sorry, Beavo–I’m not sure why I kept thinking you were the husband to be…..
0
0
Kokonventions I could get to (cities I go to): I live relatively near Washington, DC and I’m usually able to make it down there. My parents are pro-Muse and MuseBlog, so that makes it rather easier.
I have family in Wisconsin, and if you time it right I might be going through Chicago or Milwaukee, usually in the summer sometime, but I really don’t know when we’ll go visit again.
We were planning on going to Boston sometime, but I don’t know when. Probably spring/summer.
Of course, I also spend time in Williamsburg VA, if there’s anyone down there (or planning to see Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown) I might be able to have a Kokon there.
RE: MissSwan and Red-tailed HAWK’s marriage
Last February 29th (it was a leap year) the GAPAs made a thread about it, and mentioned that Feb. 29 was traditionally the day when girls could propose to their sweethearts.
HAWK posted and said that he was disappointed because no one had proposed to him (I have reason to believe he was being facetious). MissSwann, not wanting him to be sad, proposed, and he accepted. They’ve been engaged since then, but I’m not sure if they were ever married, I don’t think so. Anyway, what started as a joke wasn’t forgotten, so we tease them whenever we get the chance.

Have any Musers ever lived in Michigan or are going to visit? If not I don’t blame you, it’s a boring place, but still, my family doesn’t travel out of state very often.
0
0
76- what thread?
0
0
77) I was there several summers ago… But I’m still studying like a mad woman to skip a grade and get into a summer program/nerd camp in America so that I’ll be in the USA ! Whee… But I don’t think I’ll be allowed to kokonvene. Unless a MBer is doing a Europe tour, my kokonvention chances are very slim.
0
0
76- its nice that they’re both birds.
0
0
45- now that i have been revealed, i don’t mind telling you that i am most certainly not SudoRandom. (why geuss me luna? whyyyyyyyyyy? 
0
0
what happened to the jokes and riddles thread?
0
0
74-Skay, honest mistake. I think my girlfriend would be a bit pissed if I went off marrying dear Swann. And I was about to explain, but I think somebody else did a good enough job.
Maybe everybody thinks we’re engaged because she knows she’s always flirting with me I have no idea why anyone would think WE, of all people, would get married!
Just kidding, MissSwan, there’s no need to kick that HARD! OW! Stop it! It was a JOKE! Ow, I think you broke my speen. Ouch!
0
0
83–Oh, no, not your speen! Whatever will you do without it? Er, wait…..what’s a “speen”?
Sorry, Beavo, couldn’t resist…..I know you meant spleen.
0
0
83/84 – Perhaps he meant spoon. Interesting that you carry around spoons, Beavo. Of course, they are awesome and all that, but still, they’re utensils. Now sporks, those are something special.
0
0
Perhaps he’s practicing to be the Blue Rajah, Master of Cutlery.
0
0
I claim being a bridesmaid! And I want to keep my speen, thanks very much. I like having all my internal organs in tact at all times.
0
0
You misspelled spleen.
0
0
(88) It’s a joke: see comments 83 and 84.
0
0
87–I wanna be a bridesmaid, too! And with my speen, too, of course.
0
0
Maybe it’s how Museicans say “spine.” “Show a bit o’ speen, there, mon!”
0
0
91- Well, I certainly wouldn’t want to be spineless!
0
0
Can I be a bridesmaid?
0
0
91– Of course, I don’t want a broken spine, either, nor do I want to be spineless!
0
0
Why has no one offered ME the position of bridesmaid? I look lovely in a dress, you know.
You guys don’t get it. MissSwann was kicking Speen, my little rainbow squid-zebra. Hiya, Speen!
Speen: Yeah!
0
0
I think there are enough bridesmaids at this point, so can I be a flowergirl or something? I shall have both a spoon and a spine.
0
0
95–alright, Beavo–when I get married you can be my bridesmaid. Satisfied?
But MissSwann is such a nice person, why would she take her annoyance at you out on poor little Speen? I mean, that hardly seems like her at all. *waves* Hi, Speen!
0
0
76-I’d like to visit Williamsburg, but I don’t think it’ll happen for a while. Maybe next summer, if I begged and pleaded… but then I’m planning on saving up all my begging and pleading points for a few years and focusing them toward getting to see a space shuttle launch.
0

I’m pretty sure I visited Williamsburg when I was much younger (at least ten years ago), when me, my sis, parents, and grandma went on a trip up the East coast. It was something of an “educational” vacation, where we visited all sorts of historical sites, such as Jamestown (and I think Williamsburg), and drove all the way up to DC, spent a day or so there, then turned around to head back to FL. It was awesome–one of the best vacations of my life. I really, really enjoyed it.

tesseract- sporks are pointless! spoons are awesome!
let’s take a survey- spoons or sporks, everyone?

i want to be at the wedding too!

100 – Sporks for name, spoons for usefulness.
My science teacher thought it was called a spfork.
0
0
i’ll keep track.
0
0
100 – Sporks are amazing. There’s a titanium spork on thinkgeek.com.
0
0
102- And she pronounced that how? Speh-Fork, perhaps?
0
0
97-Chuss! I’m going to wear something strapless and mini to show off my beeaUtiful legs.
Mayhaps Speen insulted her shoes. He’s an aspiring gossip magazine critic, you know.
100-Spork, duh.
0
0
106–sounds good. sexy. Just don’t upstage me!
0
0
*reads thread* *laughs head off*
SPORKS ALL THE WAY.
Aw, darn, everyone’s taken the bridesmaid positions. *punches random bridesmaid that is not a Muser* Oops, look like she won’t be able to attend. I shall have to take her place. What a shame. What a shame.
This thread has gotten horribly off track, hasn’t it? *giggles*
0
0
100- The spork is the obvious choice. Who wouldn’t love a spoon and a fork together? It just works.
106- Should I wear a blindfold?
0
0
come ON, sporks are a cool idea, but they don’t do either job!
0
0
63- Oooo, sounds great! We went to a field trip there one time, but we had to stay away from the evolution exhibits… Samantha and I, the only people in my school who believe in evolution, were rather indignant.
64-Yeah, meeting my fiance would be a good expirience.
71/72- How about a Sunday in the beginning of the month? I need to check with the parentals, but I’ll say when.
73- You know you love me.
76- Yes! You remembered! I have to explain that to people about every month…
83- Ah! Peteh! *kickkickkick* I do NOT flirt with you (that much… jk)
95- Speen est kawaii!!!
Re Sporks: I got a spork from the skating rink. I LOVE it. I carry it around in my purse.
RE wedding: Luna, Agrrfish and Rainbowstar can be bridesmaids. Zinc is a flower girl. Beavo can be the bridesman, if he wears his smexy strapless mini (XD). How about two more flower girls and some train holders? And then HAWK’s people…
0
0
111- You never know when you’re going to need a good spork…
And YAY! I’M A BRIDESMAID! Can I wear a ridiculous foofy dress?
0
0
111–I’ve never found sporks [haha–my spellcheck says that’s not a word!] particularly useful…..Do they make actual metal sporks? Or just those dinky little plastic ones that splinter whenever you try and use ’em?
w00t! a bridesmaid! *is very, very honored*
What color will the dresses be? Not yellow–it makes me look washed out……perhaps pale pink or pale blue?
0
0
111- I’m in Boston the 12-14. That’s the only time i can make it…
And I want to be a flower girl!!!
0
0
113- Pale blue, I think. It looks lovely on anyone, even Beavo .
0
0
114) I want to be something that wears a puffy dress…
0
0
115- Yes, pale blue sounds good.
0
0
luna, i’m taking that as a spoon vote.
111- I wanna be there! maybe i’ll be one of HAWKS people…
0
0
How about this, in blue?
I lurve planning weddings!
Now we need to find a state in which marrying minors is legal…
0
0
119–It’s got potential. It could be quite nice in the right shade of blue. I am, however, a bit concerned about the dress staying up? I mean, without straps, is it really not going to slide off my body revealing, well, what’s underneath to everyone? I mean, it’s not like I could very easily wear anything underneath on my top half….
Of course, it is all virtual, so I needn’t worry about such details as that….
It is, of course, all up to MissSwann and RtH, as it is their wedding, rather than ours….

Titanium sporks like ThinkGeek sells.

OK, I’m assuming my post was zapped– can someone help out with the picture link thing?
0
0
(122) Zapped? I don’t think so, RQ. What were you trying to do?
0
0
122–“Picture link thing.” Basically, you find a pic, you click it, so its got a window w/ just it, copy the URL, paste into your post, and if the GAPAs are feeling especially generous, or are not particularly busy, they will post it as an image.
I would like to point out, that the GAPAs prefer us not to do this very often, as it does create a fair bit of work for them.

0
54- *headdesk* Yes. Me. I have been trying to organize an MA kokon for, like six months…. 
June sounds great, and I’ll ask electros when I get back if he wants to come too. (Dunno how he’d feel about the wedding though Maybe HAWK could attend by video conference or something. That would be… interesting, a wedding where the bridegroom attends by video conference..) My parents can get me to Boston anytime, they have to go every month anyway ’cause of business. But I warn you, I have a really strange family.
What’s that? Strange how, you say? Oh, I have to go. Tell you in April! *skips off singing appropriately carefree song*

Zinc, you look suspiciously like someone I’ve met, but that’s probably a coincidence.

SFTDP:
I’m going to be in San Fransisco for spring break (24-28ish) with nothing to do. Coincedentally, two other cellos I know in Youth Symphony will also be going and we’re going to try to meet up.
THE POINT: Is there anyone who lives in the San Fransisco/Central California area who would like to meet up with me?
0
0
114- Okay, Sunday the 14th? We could meet at 11:30 in the cafeteria of the science museum, get some lunch and then geek out at all the exhibits! Everyone else game on that date?
116- You can be a flower girl.
119- That’s beautiful! The flower girls can wear that, in the blue. I’m not sure it fits the bridesmaid persona, though… and age doesn’t matter on MB. (Luna, for instance, having equal and intelligent conversations with Rainbowstar, someone approx. 10 years youonder than her).
120- Double side stick tape, girl. It works wonders.
125- You are more than welcome to come! Tentative planning for Sunday the 14th.
0

130- darn, bad date…I’m not sure if I can make it down anyways, though…
DANG! And I really wanted too…
0
0
66) I’m 16.
83)
SPORK! Sporks are behind some conspiracy or other, I’m pretty certain.
130) This is all a joke right? Y’all aren’t really getting married? I was pretty sure it was a joke at first and then I got confused. I find I’m easily confused. 
0
0
132-Can I please be confused with you?
Beavo’s wearing “something strapless and mini” and getting kicked in the “speen” by my fiance, somebody named speen is apparently here, and there are sporks flying all about. Overall, a most diverse and intriguing environment. *Tries to stay out of the way*
0
0
And now that the sporks are flying, Beavo and his strapless mini are going to be turned into a smexy shield. *hides*
0
0
So wait…how many people besides Zinc, Rainbowstar, Hibiscus, and Tangerine (and me) live in SoCal? Just wondering.
And as many others have said, man, I feel old.
And hey! This is my new BlogName (I was Nthanda the Laugher). What do ya’ll think?
0
0
132–To the best of my knowledge, it is still a joke. No one is honestly, truly, legally getting married.
133–Not somebody, something: a rainbow squid-zebra, to be exact.
135–Doesn’t Axa live in CA? Or am I confuzzled……
I think it is a pretty name, but…..name changes are a wee bit frustrating for me, as I can’t keep track of who everyone used to be.
0
0
131- Well, how about saturday? I don’t want anyone to feel left out, and my parents say that any time that weekend is ok… I’m waiting for Syllabub’s email about it, but I think she’ll be ok with either sat or sun…
132- Absolute joke!!! I’ don’t plan on legally (as opposed to virtually) getting married until I’m at least 26. If I find the right guy.
135- Vair cool! I’ll just have to remember who you are now…
136- Ung, me too. That’s why I’ve kept the same name I’ve had since I was about 9 on here.
0
0
HAWK- can i be one of your people at the wedding? 130- i assume you mean the Boston Museum Of Science, with Mathematica and such? my mom says i can go.

Re- Name changes: I’ve had quite a few, most of them in my neophyte days. (I was Go Bananas(!!!), Chocolte freak Going Bananas, Banana, and numerous others.) Then, last March, I changed it to “Zinc the… aw, darn brain fart!” During the last May Day Ball, l was Zinc the wizard, until MissSwann thought I was of the opposite gender, so I changed it to Zinc the sorceress (no suns). Leafygreen came, I become a sorceress/vampire, undid that, we became kids who had problems, got rid of Leafy, added suns, and became what I am now. *yay!*
I shall have to find a flower girl dress. May it be a light turquoise, green, or navy? I look good in those.

Agrrrfishi and MissSwann, RoseQuartz: We can’t allow any more kokonvention planning unless your parents e-mail us and tell us they approve. Then we’ll put them in touch with each other, and they can make the arrangements. (The same policy applies to posting photographs: nothing goes up without parental permission.)
0
0
140–I’ve got a question. There is a very, very, very, very itty bitty chance that I might be in Chicago this spring or fall. If this actually came to pass (again, probably really big if), what would be the rules involving a potential kokonvention? I mean, I would be 19…..would you still desire parental consent?
Again, I suppose this is more hypothetical than anything (the random musings of a muser), as it is only a very tiny chance that I would be in chicago…….

143–No, I’m not. As mentioned on the AE, I am female….And I screwed up my AE w/ that post, although fortuantely I didn’t say who I was. Ah, well, as I mentioen dont eh AE, I’m only even doing this AE cuz Cliff Eagle’s comment was too good to pass up.

141) I’ve also wondered about that. Depending on where I go to college kokons might be more likely/ in places where more people are (D.C.! *wishes* )
But at that point I would be eighteen or so. I was actually thinking about this the other day, thanks for bringing it up, Luna
I can understand if that GAPAs still want parents to sign off on it though. it’s a bit tricky.

99~ Awesome! Next time you swing by the East Coast let me know…..
Wedding:
May I be involved in some way? I know I’m joining in the discussion a little late…
Also, could we perhaps have a thread for this, or would that be going too far? Just a thought, that way we wouldn’t be monopolizing current threads that aren’t really related, ending in confusion for all involved.
119~ Pretty dress. I like it but it looks nothing like something I’d wear. Except virtually, perhaps. I’m not too worried about strapless, I have the great misfortune of having enough to probably hold it up without too much trouble. *moan*
126~ lovely shoes, I’d definitely wear those once and take them off for dancing, otherwise I’d probably kill them. I kill shoes…..
133~ Looks like you can’t hide. We’ve taken over your wedding plans and you will be there, in a tux, at the virtual alter to change vows. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? I’m not sure anyone truly knows what’s going on, but if you want to have any say I’d recommend joining in and pretending you know what’s going on…..good acting skills go a long way.
136~ I should hope not, MissSwann and HAWK are only 12 and 14, respectively. (I think that’s their ages anyway. Close to there anyway.)
Sporks are funny and I like them, even if they’re not the most efficient. If nothing else it’s fut to say “spork”. *wanders off, muttering “spork” to self*
135~ Nice new name, but I’ll probably not remember it’s you; I have a hard time keeping track of everyone as it is, and when they change names (especially to something totally different) I always have to ask who they are or I assume they’re a ‘phyte. Be warned that we may be confused due to the new similarity of our names (Midnight Violet/Midnight Fiddler). I don’t really care, but it might happen.
Aah, long post. Signing off!

I started out as Princess Aqua, changed to Midnight*Fiddler and then later dropped the star. I think by accident, but then decided I liked it better without.
College/kokons/parental consent:
It would be awesome to go to college with other musers, I’m sure it would be very interesting. Since when you’re over 18 here on MB you’re supposed to ask the GAPAs to retain your pseudonym and are able to reveal full names, I assume they consider that (to some extent) adulthood. Faye, who only drops by occasionally used her full name because she joined after turning 18.
I don’t know how they would do on kokonventions though, since that’s a rather more tricky thing. See, if any one of us turns out to be a stalker/rapist/other such unsavory character and one of us gets hurt, one the GAPAs would feel terrible about it, and two, they would have to worry about legal dealings in case you decided to sue them for having MB.
I suppose that after turning 18 you could reveal your full name, make a facebook or myspace account and allow other musers to look you up off-blog in order to arrange a kokonvention betwixt yourselves. I’m not saying that’s realy the best way, it’s just one possibility that would leave the GAPAs free of guilt if anything happened, and I seriously doubt that any of the musers are stalkers so that shouldn’t be too risky. The problem is more of stalkers reading the blog, not being members of our community, that being why we can’t post personal details such as where we live or are going and what we are wearing on a certain day. (for example if I said I was going to the NGA and wearing a purple tanktop and blue sneakers along with a description of myself, it would get snipped. As it is, I’m wearing a purple tanktop and barefoot, you can easily tell what I look like by searching through old threads, but I’m sitting in my room at home, and you don’t know where that is in any more detail that I live in MD, not too far away from Washington, DC and near a few state lines. Thus, this shouldn’t get snipped.)
I’d love to meet as many MBers as I can, I think you’re an awesome bunch of people and I consider you good friends.

151) Oh yes that’s quite another thing about college. I think there’s a good few of us who will being going to college at the same time (how strange to say that, though!). But I don’t want to worry any of the GAPAs with snippable stuff so that’s all for now.
But I totally understand it…likely the outside means (facebook or some such, though I abhor most “social networking ” ) is more sensible. I’m just a bit curious, is all.
I completely agree with that last bit, Fiddler! I’d like to mett you as a matter of fact…I’m determined to meet at least a few of you at some point! Preferably in D.C. …well anywhere is fine, really.

152~ I’d like to meet you too, whenever you get to DC let me know! I’m sure we can plan something.
Gah, going to college at the same time as other musers. Scary thought, I know, but true. I’ll be headed in that direction in just a few years. *horror* I have no idea where I want to go, except this one place, and I know it’s a bad idea to have all your hopes on one school, but……it looks awesome. *sigh* I’ll have to look up other places too of course, but I don’t even know what’s out there! Gah, I know what I’d like (history and music, preferably with overlap, other classes as well, interesting student body, affordable tuition and nice campus, for starters), but I really don’t know where to find it. I guess google could help. *goes off to google various keywords, hoping to dig up something promising*
If I get into the same college as another muser and at the same time you better bet that I’m going to make every attempt be become friends off-line as well as on. Just a warning.
Oh, and the Eastern Kentucky University has nasty dorms and really bad public computers, as of 5 years ago. I stayed there once for a Blacksmithing convention that was held on the campus–mom went and dad and I trailed along. at least that’s a start-I know I don’t really want to go there. That’s one out of how many? *dies*

Morphing suits are terribly expensive, I’m afraid, but it would be good for en.

211-You’re marrying Beavo???? Ack! This is going to snowball, I know it is…
Well, at least I have electros. That’s a bit more convenient than MS and RtH, anyway. (Though telling him could be a problem… has he even been on in the last two months, or did something happen? I didn’t see him on BA:TNG…)

Rainbowstar, I thought of you as an adult, since BATANG. Plus, I agree. Zinc is that young and blonde? Okay, I’m done. Is there a ‘let’s find people to KoKon with!’ thread anywhere? Or is this it? A Kokon sounds cool, if I can find somebody to kokon with… I can easily get to San Antonio and Austin, and we’re going up to Wisconsin this summer, but I don’t know where, or anything else, so that might not be easy, plus I don’t know about parental units.

My mom just emailed, GAPAs!!! Let me know when you get it. The Kokons in June and August are definitely happening. The one in June may be on the 14th. I think it would be after noon though, because we’ll be at the Wellesley reunion thing. We’ve all agreed that it’s at the Science Museum, right? Friday or Saturday might also work, but I can’t say for sure until we find out more about reunion. August… I’m pretty sure that’s still on as well, but we have no idea when the wedding is so I don’t know when I’m going to be there yet, nor do I know where/when it would be possible to meet up.
It would probably be helpful to have at least a potential list of who’s going to each Kokon. So Boston is:
Definite:
RoseQuartz
MissSwann
SudoRandom
Syllabub
Armada
Possible:
Electros
Bookworm
Aggie
Am I forgetting anyone?
NYC:
Definite:
RoseQuartz
KaiYves
Vendaval
Possible:
AvalonGirl?

Sorry, it sounds vaguely familiar, but I haven’t lived in Boston for a while (we moved from there when I was 5)… You’re coming too? Awesome!!!!! I thought you lived in NY, though… So, June the 14th? The wedding is at the Boston kokon, right? I mean, it would make sense for at least MS to be there… Or is it not happening t either kokon, but at the May Day Ball or something? *is going to take me a while to get back in sync* (sorry)
117-Aggie? You’re coming???? YAY!
I thought you lived in Michigan or something, though… Well, see if you can bug your parents into letting you come anyway.
About electros coming– he told me today that he’s temporarily, maybe permenantly (what the cake? My computer is telling me I spelled that wrong. Well phooey to you, computer.) abandoning MB, because he’s too busy doing Scratch or something. (It’s always confusing getting information from electros, and today we were doing it by notes and his handwriting is somewhat hard to read, plus I was in a rush, so…). Therefore, I don’t know if he’ll be at all interested in kokoning, but I’ll ask anyway.
RoseQuartz, I’m going to go make my parents check their email now (I know I could just wait for the GAPAs to tell me whether or not they emailed your parents’ email to my parents or not, but I’m too impatient), and if there’s anything I’ll get them to write them back. YAY, THIS IS FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!!!(ect.)

ATTENTION ALL DEFINITE OR POSSIBLE MEMBERS OF THE NYC AND BOSTON KOKONS! PLEASE HAVE YOUR PARENTS EMAIL THE GAPAS (gapa at musefanpage dot com)!!!!!!!!! THE NYC KOKON IS NOW ANYWHERE FROM AUGUST 7-10! THE BOSTON KOKON IS ANYWHERE FROM JUNE 11-13! I CAN’T DO THE 14TH!
There, has your attention been directed to the Kokon thread?
0
0
221-Yes. Okay then, points to consider about the date of the Boston kokon:
A weekend (the 13th) might be easier for some people to get to.
However, the museum would probably be less crowded on a weekday (the 11th/12th).
My mom says that if we’re doing weekdays, the 12th is easier for us than the 11th, but we can do any of them if other people have stronger reasons. (My mom has a yoga class on Thursdays and I have a capoeira class. Both cancelable.)
GAPAs, my parents emailed you about four months ago, but if that somehow got lost in your e-mailbox, I can get them to do it again. Just tell me if it’s necessary.
0
0
222- Yes, I’d say the 12th is probably best. I’m not entirely sure whether…. oh, right. Yeah. Um, so, we’re leaving Thursday the 11th in the morning, so late afternoon on the 11th or maybe early afternoon if we actually leave before 10 (we’re quite slow on trip mornings). The 12th would be good probably any time, and the museum is open till 9. The 13th there’s not much of a slot, because of the reunion stuff at Wellesley, but if there is we could Kokonvene… whenever that is. The 14th is probably not good, but could be engineered.
Robert, since you already have MissSwann’s and Armada’s parents’ emails, could you forward them to my mom?
0
0
223-Okay, 12th sounds good. 9 in the evening, right? *thinks about how weird it would be if the museum closed at 9am* I’m asking electros about coming right now– my guess is he’s going to say no, but I could be wrong.
Wait, MissSwann’s parents emailed the gappas? Awesome! (Yes, I realize I’m overusing the superlatives on this thread. I can’t help it.)

227-Yeah, I think you’re right. Whoops.
So, I emailed electros, and he said he was interested! I’m not sure his mom is going to let him come, but I’m pretty sure, since he’d be going with us. I’m going to email her the details this Friday (tomorrow=me in Boston for Passover, Thursday=probably no going on the computer), and we should know on Saturday. But I’m pretty sure about it. Woohoo!
By the way, the recent comments bar looks kind of weird. Instead of the comments stopping at the first period like they used to, they trail off with dotdotdots in seemingly random places. Is this to do with the Warning below the search box (yes, I’m getting that too), or is it just a new thing?
0

It’s just something new we decided to try.
0

229–Robert, didn’t it used to do that? I mean, it seems like it was a relatively recent occurrence that the comment bar didn’t stop until the first period. I was sure that it used to stop after half a dozen words or so, and wouldn’t (if no period were used) post an infinitely long comment. But now you say it is something “new”, implying that it never used to be that way….Maybe I’m losing my mind. It really wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
219–It’s just you. I think it very clearly says MUSE BLOG

207-I think my seventeen wives and twenty four husbands might kill you if I went to the wedding as your fiance, so no. But I’ll go as bridesmaid!

231–Of course we don’t! Actually, I just remember that when i returned to the ‘blog back in August, that it struck me as odd that the comments bar posted everything prior to the first period, since it hadn’t done that the last time I’d been on. But then I got used to it, and didn’t put much thought into it. I really don’t have much of a preference over whether it ends after half a dozen words, or if it ends at the first period. They both have their pros and cons, and I’m cool with whatever. 
232–But your my bridesmaid!!!!! Oh, alright, I supposed you can be bridesmaid for multiple ‘bloggers weddings. Make me feel unspecial.

233-Oh, no, I’m wearing my strapless for your wedding, remember? That makes you SPECIAL.

-gape- Wow, lots of people can get to Boston!
Meow says she might be coming here this summer, which would be SWEET–not quite as sweet as the Wishful Thinking Kokon, which would consist of Meow, IBCF, Cinnamoon, Kyra, Tessera Rose, and myself hanging out for a week, but sweet all the same!

‘Kay, so electros says he’s probably coming to the Boston kokon. His mom told me she gave the GAPAs permission for him to come– is that true, GAPAs?

I’m not absolutely sure, but I believe so. Robert has been handling the correspondence, and I don’t have time to check the mail right now.

241.1- I asked my mom, and she said yes, she did. Electros is being rather annoying noncommital with me, but I’m assuming he’s coming, in the absence of an answer.
BTW, tangerine, in the last picture you look an awful lot like someone I know…

When is the next SoCalKokon? (I’m assuming there will be one). if there is one, I’m quite sure that at least AthenianPsycho and I will go, R101 depending. Is there any possiblity that there could be one?

Okay, so everybody who’s in for August 8th at the Museum of Natural History in New York City sound off!

People! Everyone who’s coming or wants to come to the Boston kokon, over here! We need to plan! I will repeat this message as many times as necessary– this kokonvention is not going to die!

Okeydokey, I’m here, everyone!
Armada: electros is indeed coming to the Kokon. The email from his mom giving permission was forwarded to us, MissSwann’s mom, and your parents. Your mom also should have gotten an email from us confirming the date and one from MissSwann’s mom agreeing that we’d love it if a GAPA came (Robert said, and I quote, “Now, would somebody please remind me when this improbable event is
scheduled to happen? It’s just possible that one of us MuseBlog
administrators might be able to make it, if the timing is right.”).
We do have a problem, however. Syllabub still has school, and we can’t make Saturday…
244- I’m definitely in. My mom’s already emailed the GAPAs, and I’ve looked at the site to see where we might want to go. Do you/Vendy/anyone else who might come think you’d want to see an IMAX or anything at the planetarium?
Is there anything we specifically REALLY want to see at the museum? I want to see the Hall of Minerals and Hall of Gems, the whole Rose Center thing, the fossil halls on the 4th floor, and the Hall of Biodiversity. Yes, Kai, I know you don’t like the giant squid, but you don’t have to go in if you don’t want to.
[We’ll let your question stand, but keep all further planning off the blog, please. ~Admin.]
0
0
246- I would, but I don’t believe Kai and Vendy’s parents have emailed yet, so I can’t really…
0
0
246- Ohhhh….. *headdesk* Of course. My mom forgot to make your parents contacts with us, so everything from them ended up in my parents’ Suspect Email box. Riiight. We got electros’ mom’s email’s forward, however.
‘Improbable’? 
Humph. I’d love it if one of the GAPAs could come, though…. *puppy eyes*
Hmm. That is a problem. In that case, how about we…. bleh. I just know the GAPAs are going to snip this, so I won’t post it. We really do need to start getting our parents to plan OTB. (Off The Blog.) If Syllabub can come after school, that should still work. I don’t know whether it would work for ele I really shouldn’t be doing electros’ planning for him. Anyway, if we did that it would mean that electos and I would get home kind of late, but unless his parents object, it’s not impossible. It wouldn’t be too late, just late-ish. My parents don’t seem to have a problem with us doing whatever to get this done.
So… yeah. I’ll get my mom to email everyone else over this weekend, and we can get down to serious planning. *rubs hands together*
246, 247- WTH? What is going on here that I missed?

248- There’s another Kokon in NYC this August that I’m going to (and seem to be planning, too).

In honor of the planned Kokonventions, I’ve written this Kokon Song, to be sung to the tune of “The Ballad of John and Yoko” by the Beatles:
Headin’ to the big KokonVENtion,
Musers from all over the place.
The man with the pie
Said, “I won’t ask you why
You’ve got Pantone 219* on your face.”
Cake, you know it ain’t easy.
You know how wild it can be.
The way things are goin’
They’re gonna bunnify me.
No one looks the way I imagined.
Everybody’s friendly but shy.
They’re funny and nice
But we can’t break the ice
Until someone calls out, “Let’s have some pie!”
Cake, …
Can’t believe we’re all here together,
All those kids I met on the threads.
The man with the pie
Said, “You’re throwing too high.
See, the crust is going over their heads.”
Cake, …
Musers always make an impression.
People all pretend not to see.
The folks in the crowd
Said, “They’re laughing too loud,
And they don’t look ‘mostly harmless’ to me!”
Cake, you know it ain’t easy.
You know how wild it can be.
The way things are goin’
They’re gonna bunnify me.
*[Pantone 219 is an industrial code for a shade of fuchsia very close to hot pink.]

RoseQuartz, MissSwann, Syllabub, anyone coming to the Boston kokon, please get your parents to check their email! We need to start planning the details of this!

My mom’s going to try to send an e-mail later tonight if the one we sent yesterday didn’t get through.
0

My mom’s sent the e-mail, as has Syllabub’s; we’ll definitely be there!
0
0
256- Yay!
RoseQuartz- Re:seeing each other before the kokon officially starts–that works fine for our family, but since we’re carpooling with electros, we have to figure out what works for his family too. I don’t even know if he’s interested at all anymore, but I’ll email him and see what he can do.

Okeydokey!

Robert, did you get the emails? We didn’t get any more email addresses.
0
0
We have received e-mail from you. How many addresses do you have?
0
0
Oh, I meant the ones from Kai’s and Syllabub’s parents.
0
0
Wait, I’m confuzzled…
0

I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen anything from KaiYves’s parents yet.
0

I guess it didn’t get through, then?
We don’t have Syllabub’s parents’ email address yet, and we’re pretty far along in planning… but then again, she’s friends with MissSwann, so she’s probably well enough informed.
0

Your parents have it now. I heard from the Syllabub clan on Sunday but forgot to forward the message to the others. Sorry!
0
0
It’s fine!
0

Uh… it’s not there. I checked their inbox several times. Maybe the email address was messed up when you typed it or something?
Sorry, I’m being kind of obnoxious.

Ha HA! There it is!

For some odd reason there’s an attachment to the email, which, when opened, goes into Firefox and shows the email again. Weird.

I’m sooo excited!!! And the kokon in 3 days after I get my braces off!!

We got the email now…
260- Yay!!! I’m excited too!!! I don’t have braces, though!!!
0

261-Lucky. You definitely don’t want to have braces.
0
0
262: Braces aren’t all that bad!
0
0
263-The only good thing about them (that I can think of) is that they make your teeth pretty and straight.
0
0
264- Yeah, I don’t really want braces, but I have semi-buckteeth which I get annoyed with periodically, and then I wish they could get fixed somehow. (When I read the–I forget, 4th? Harry Potter book, I was so jealous of Hermione, because her teeth got fixed instantaneously.) But my parents have a moral objection to braces, so I doubt I’ll be getting any, despite the fact that basically all my friends have them. Our dentist hates my family, because we refuse to take Novocain when having cavities done and won’t get X-rayed or take our fluoride treatments. (Because fluoride is a toxic byproduct (I forget what of) that used to be used in nuclear waste treatment factories but ultimately was banned as being too hazardous to your health, so now they put it in toothpaste. Logical, right? This is actually true.)

I wanna go! I’ll have my mom email the GAPAs and tell them… er, what, exactly is she supposed to tell you? Just that I have permission to go?
0
0
Okay, my mom sent in her e-mail and she said it was recieved. She also said the GAPAs told her to tell me to remind everybody else going to the Kokon who hasn’t already sent in their e-mail to send it ASAP.
0
0
266- Yeah, just that she’s giving her permission.

How old are you guys?

270- Zinc and Rainbow*Star are eleven, and Hibiscus and tangerine are nine. You’re not old, they’re young.

Eleven? Nine? I thought they’d all be about 2 years older than that.
0
0
271- mm. I’m old in comparison. This feeling is the opposite of how I was feeling all weekend which I spent around people in an age range of their 80s to kids. There were mostly people in their 30s through 50s though.

Coooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking at those photos, I feel oldish. Not age-wise, more height-wise. Because I’m taller than most other 13-year-olds.
I really wish I could go to a Kokon!!! But no one (okay, maybe one other person) on here lives in my state, and my parents have a strong dislike for driving to Boston. Someday, I’ll persuade them…
