Huzzah! We broke the record! Wot’s the Phillis nickel anyway? And wot’s a phantasmagoria? I know it’s probably against the Unwritten Code of Musebloggers to bring up something from the previous month’s thread, but where’s the ‘slide on the ice’ quote from, USECGO? I think Sydney the shrink said that on M*A*S*H, but was from somewhere else first?
Did I get the First and Foremost Post??!! *swoons dangerously and topples over in shock*
Peoples, this is so not right. Last night, an adult from my youth group called me, and asked me to do a monologue in youth group tonight, less than twenty four hours after she asked me to do it!!!! The script is about three and a half pages long, and it needs to be memorized. I only have about four more hours to get the last page in and rehearse it a few times before I have to give it in front of my entire youth group (aproximately 120 people). I just hope I don’t completely blank out, or leave out all emotion.
The Chairman doesn’t know where the rhyme came from. His father told it to him. It’s possible it came from M*A*S*H, but I haven’t seen that one if it did. However, terrible poetry fans, my great-uncle wrote a poem called “The Green Peach.” When it is the appropriate season I might post it here.
Aaaaaggghhh! I’ve got a horrible cramp in my back that won’t go away!
Yay!!! I got the skit memorized!!!! Now all that’s left is for me to get it really cemented in my head, and iron out a few snags.

Yeah, right. Just that, and the small matter of delivering it, with emotion, to a room with about 130 people in it. Simple. Nothing.
great, only six posts and the thread is already a billion pages long. thanks mg.
so… why are you a member of this youth group?
schools out! yesssssssssssssss. *siezes computer*
slowly but surely the penguins are stealing my sanity……
*giggle*…………………………………………………………………………………………………. yay for randomness…….anyway
mg – good luck w/ your monologue. having to recite something that long from memory in front of lots of people can be scary sometimes but as long as you dont think about all the eyes watching you, you wont be 1/2 as nervous
Chica de Montgomery, that was inconsiderate of you to waste so much space.
So we did get Phillis then? YAAY! Now, how do we split it up?
Poor MG. I say that you should forget about whatever they want you to do and recite “Jabberwocky” instead.
JABBERWOCKY
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son,
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch
Beware the Jubjub bird and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxsome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood a while in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood
And burbled as it came!
One-two! One-two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack
He left it dead, and with its head
He came galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Calooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
I love that poem. “The Walrus and the Carpenter” is also excellent. Lewis Carroll (Matthew Dodgson, I think. Not sure about the Matthew part.) should have been knighted. Or was he? Mr. Baker sir, are you listening? Can you help us, sir?
Poor MG. Oh well. I have been reading the Jeeves and Wooster books (hilarious. Required Muser reading) and I have one major question. Why does Jeeves still work for Wooster? The pay was terrible, Wooster’s mentally negligible, and Jeeves works extremely hard for little or no returns. And the sort of people Wooster associates with are frivolous (Miss Bobbie Wickham) or frightsome (Aunt Agatha and cronies) and the job is one of the worst in the world. Like, ever. Oh well. And how old is Jeeves, anyway? Young, I think. Or old. It depends.
MG- couldn’t you just tell the youth leader that you won’t do it? That’s awfully short notice to ask you to memorize something. Well anyway, I hope it goes well.
yay! im on the who’s here thingy… took them long enuff… anyways. how many posts were on the Jan. thread?
Noooooooooo!!!!
I am 16th post when I was up al night yesterday to be 1st
Why? Why? Why???!!!!
It’s time for Grant’s Pointing and Laughing Minute!!! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA AH HAHAHA HAAA! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hee hee….
Don’t ask me why… Both Billy Joel and Eurythmics used the song title. Wow, that doesn’t happen much, does it. Hmm. A sign from the universe someone’s doing something right.
The girls at my school love this brand called Juicy Couture, which makes shirts that say things like “Juicy Brat” and “Wear Juicy”. It’s also really expensive, so my new project is making a shirt with the slogan “Got Dough? Wear Juicy”. It should kill. Man, satire is FUN.
making clothes is so fun.
next weekend is the snowcoming dance (like i care) but anyway next week is spirit week + thursday’s pirate day (probably because the alternative group at my school has this strange obsession w/ pirates… i really dont know why, but its cool) my friend + i are definitely going to be pirates! i just need to make a costume…
Hey MG, you’re good! I don’t know if I could memorize that thinger in four hours, but then again, I never had the occasion to try.
As everyone has noticed, I’m back and posting again! My internet has spontaneously returned. Yaaaay!
I love making clothes, too, Emogrl.
Oh yeah, and if I tried a trick like that, Queenie J., I would be dead within the hour.
emogrl- are you new?
im bored….. there is absolutely nothing to do around here!!!!!!!! i probably should be…. actually i have no idea of what i should be doing so oh vell….. hey has sleepynighttimedragon finally left us?
quite possibly.
i thought that sleepynighttimedragon was sphinx. she said something about it being her once.
Has anyone looked up the definition of “phantasmagoria” yet?
I know that one! It means a bunch of moving, surrealistic, random, colorful pictures, like in a dream or a hallucination, right? I think phantasmagorie is creating magical illusions.
Phoenix does it again!
Heh, one time I had to memorize Hamlet’s soliloquy. Perfectly. It was HARD! It would be easier if it’s understandable English.
Night Fox = Grant
Not so, I’m afraid. I don’t think I’ll give away too much by saying that Night Fox is female.
Everybody knows who I am.
sorry but no. i am not sphinx. (did i spell that right?)
I did okay with it!!! I blanked about three times, but I don’t know how much everyone noticed it. I did it because, for some reason, Ms. Cathy didn’t know she would need me to do it until last night, and I was the only one who would. Everyone told me I did good, but they’re all nice, so they can’t be trusted. That’s my philosophy.
Jeeves sticks with Wooster because….. well, he seems to feel that Bertie needs him, and it appears that he became a gentleman’s gentleman for the noble goal of saving the poor silly drones from themselves. His family has always done it, and he was born to be a GG. It’s like…. he’s trying to help out the half wits of the world, and Bertie needs him as much as anyone, so, why not?
Hooray for MG!
Lewis Caroll= Charles Dodgson
Wait, what? I’m not Nightfox; I have a friend who calls HIMself that, but sorry, no dice. Personally I find the name stale and unoriginal, but who am I to judge? I prefer to invent my own names.
Like Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman?
The thing i love about you guys is your modesty…
lol i’m kidding please don’t kill me!!! AAAAAHH!!!!!!
Jeeves is cool but I ♥ emsworth more.
Guys, i didn’t even have a chance at first post. if you’ll believe it i went and got myself banned the night before a new thread opening! baaaad idea…
People i’m happy…I thought i was gonna be up all night doing the cp for lamuth but guess what? It’s due next friday! Which means i’ll be up all night next thursday doing it, so i can speed-read the next book club book tonight so i can go to the meeting tomorrow. I get no sleep either way, but at least in one i get decent food for once.
Next saturday is solo+ensemble! yay! I’m doing a sweet solo…yeah that’s right. all hail me and my geekiness! WOOHOO!!!
Oh yeah and i have a bag of gummy worms to keep me up+reading tonight! in science, liefield walks in with a bunch of gummy worms (bags that is) and says 50 cents!!! So i bought some. I think it was for enviromental club or something. Which i would join, but it clashes with itk. Which was cancelled today But that’s ok cuz i was going through my solo thing with schneids.
I have WAY too much fun at lunchtime
Hey! The january main thread’s not on the archives! I wanted to read all the posts i missed! And celebrate or despair over the return or abandonment of Phillis!
Plz bring it back GAPA!!! We gives you virtual gummy worms!
You mean “Out With the Old…”? It’s there. It was just misfiled under December 2005. You should be able to find it now.
tell me did we win Phillis?
Well then.
Jeeves DOES leave briefly in “Thank You, Jeeves”. He goes to Lord Chuffnell, then to Stoker, and back to Wooster at W.’s request. Other things happen in between this, but Bertie’s new man, Brinkley, is terrible.
We need a Newsies thread.
Spamalot is awesome! I shall now proceed to spam the blog with Spamalot quotes for the rest of my life.
‘Ello, all!
Ouch, USECGO, someone made fun of you. If it were me I’d be dead now.

–Steph
Steph? What have you done to…….?
“Bugger! Millenium hand and shrimp!”
okay i’m lost…
I read Jabberwocky and Printed it out. Mimsy is my new favorite word. It’s an adjective, right. What does it mean?
you people are random.
Vorpal is a cool sounding word too. And Tulgey. And Jubjub. And Bandersnatch. And Burbled. What the heck does beamish mean? Those words from Jabberwocky are honorable mentions. Mimsy, along with miscreant and pixie, are still the most awesome words ever!
I wasn’t paying attention. I was doing other things, like thinking about mi novia (quien yo quiero besar), reading October Sky for my English class, and looking up methods on how to create nitroglycerin so I can blow those I hate to kingdom come! None of that was a joke.
Ebeth the Lurker, that was uncool. Please don’t do that again.
“Lurkers? We don’t like lurkers!” -Daxter, small orange weasel-creature.
This is not my policy. I do not consider myself a lurker, but I harbor no ill feelings towards any of them.
I’m going to leave this topic behind now.
Who here thinks I should grow a mustache?
Yes we are.
Randomness is one of the pillars of creativity.
Words of Wisdom from Sphinx: Never Say “Bite Me” To A Vampire.
Now in Latin! Nunquam Lamiae “Morde Me” Dice.
Phantasmagoria. Long word.
My Bible (for lack of a better English word; in Hebrew it’s Chumash) teacher decided that since she hasn’t given us homework for half a year, she would make up for it in one day. She actually said that.
In response to Number 46, that’s why I think that I Am The Walrus is one of the Most awesome Beatles songs. Take a listen and if you truly appreciate random stuff pulled together, this song is for you. The lyrics are so random and surrealistic it’s not even funny. RANDOMNESS IS AWESOME!!!
Haphazard, E~A, haphazard. We just think too fast for normal people to follow. It takes some time to get used to it. Six degrees of separation.
I have now memorized “The Jabberwocky”. I am proud of myself.
HAH! No moustache, please.
spamalot is bad.
it is copying things from other moty pythonn things, and is not even all of monty python! Just one guy! Also, the monty python scketch about spam is much better than the one in spamalot.
Um, hate to break it to ya, but that made no sense whatsoever.
Can anyone here do this problem:
2x + 4/5y = -46/5
-x – 4/5y = 31/5
/ is a fraction bar.
Pheonix, Zyviva and Steph are getting me and Ishmael a Muse subscription as a late birthday present! Yay! I previously had to steal Pheonix’s issues. And yes, I shall continue to spell it “Pheonix”.
Thios hot chocolate is bad.
argggghhh! IHATE WHEN PEOPLE SPELL MY NAME WRONG!!!!
Mr. Chairman, are you referring to me?
And I was QUOTING Steph. She hasn’t taken over my brain…yet.
Yes I can do that problem, Sphinx, I might be oblivious but I am NOT a total imbecile, than you.
Oh thanks, PhEonix. I can’t do that problem.
And I’ll continue to spell your name wrong, being the total imbecile that I am.
Yes, I can do that problem. Would you like me to?
Yes.
YES.
I don’t know what you mean, Phoenix. I am not aware of you insulting me.
I can do the problem, but I don’t want to right now.
For those of you who are on the HP forum, I have written the highly anticipated sequel to “Harry Potter El Vigilante!” It’s called “Harry Hunter.
I have even more comebacks now! That was random.
We found a completely in-tact fire place screen at the side of the road to-day! It was just waiting for someone weird enough to come about and pick it up. It might be too wide, but it is still a very good find. Any other dumpster divers out there? One of the best chairs in our living room was a side-o’-the-road find. Okay, it has cigarette burns and smelled like smoke for the first couple months, but it’s fine now. USECGO: How should I know if you should grow a mustace? I don’t even know what you look like. Grow a ZZ top beard for all I care. I’ll work on the problem.
thats funny because i just read a short story today about this guys personal experiences dumpsterdiving. did u know that peanut butter practically never goes bad? neither did i + peanut butter is like my favourite food… even though its really a condiment….where am i going w/ this? oh well *heads upstairs to attempt sleeping*
Mike (#47),
Newcomers are welcome here, but your e-mail address doesn’t work. Please send us a real one so we can be sure you exist.
–Your ever-vigilant Administrators
Um, when I first came my email address was spam@nottellingyou.com or something.
Well, yes, but Phoenix knew you. I’m sure Mike is OK; we’re just being careful.
I left out a few letters on my e-mail address, but I let the MAPs know before they decided I was a creepy internet stalker. Actually, since that time, I’ve got my own e-mail address (the one on there now is my mom’s). Sometimes, I’m tempted to sign in with my new one, with a different name, and become someone totally different. Never telling who I was. That way, I would be able to argue with myself, and I would always have someone to talk to!!! Personally, I think it’s a brilliant idea.
I put my yahoo on first and then i was nice and let the GAPA know my mac account (cuz i hardly ever even check my yahoo. it’s mostly for spam-blocking, like i use it to sign up for stuff. And stuff. And yeah) But now they switch a lot (since it’s already there and all). Right now it has my yahoo. I’m sure you all really care but yeah.
MG, you can just argue with your alter ego all in one post. It’s much easier than creating a new identity.
I just finished everything is illuminated (i didn’t start until really late last night/early this morning however you want to look at it) So yeah i’ll review it for you people when i’m awake. I think we’re getting something different today too at the meeting (we usually have pizza. Sometimes he brings in extra stuff though. Once we had an ice cream cake!!! yayness!) It might be chinese…he promised us chinese ages ago. Oh well. i waits and sees.
yeah well i probably have to go now. off to the torture chamber!
Okay, I’m gonne use my real name, cuz it starting to get really annoying having to refer to myself as Sphinx. I like Emily better.
* gets off bus, runs into house and frantically searches cupboards*
no cake?! noooooooooo!!!! must…….find………cake……..or even just a donut……..but we only have HEALTH stuff *sob*
it all started in spanish class – people were talking about cake + donuts + stuff + it was right after lunch + all of a sudden i was starving again… *sigh* , theres always veggies… after all i am vegetarian… but i still want a donut. wheres feather when you need him???????!!!!!!!
I am using my real name. Just without Cs and with Ink. at the end. It’s my last name, though.
Grant, I would go with a small mustache. You can always take it off if you want to. (I know, I know. But oh well.)
Doughnuts are your friends, emogrl. You eat them, they’re delicious. OK? Good.
I am making macaroni and cheese at the moment. Sorry, emogrl.. Oh well. Today I wrote out the Jabberwocky (memorized!) and am now on my way to tackling Walrus/Carpenter. Look out!
THE WALRUS AND THE CARPENTER
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright–
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done–
“It’s very rude of him,” she said,
“To come and spoil the fun!”
The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead–
There were no birds to fly.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
“If this were only cleared away,”
They said, “it would be grand!”
“If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose,” the Walrus said,
“That they could get it clear?”
“I doubt it,” said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.
“O Oysters, come and walk with us!”
The Walrus did beseech.
“A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each.”
The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head–
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster-bed.
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat–
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn’t any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more–
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.
“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”
“But wait a bit,” the Oysters cried,
“Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are fat!”
“No hurry!” said the Carpenter.
They thanked him much for that.
“A loaf of bread,” the Walrus said,
“Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
Are very good indeed–
Now if you’re ready, Oysters dear,
We can begin to feed.”
“But not on us!” the Oysters cried,
Turning a little blue.
“After such kindness, that would be
A dismal thing to do!”
“The night is fine,” the Walrus said.
“Do you admire the view?
“It was so kind of you to come!
And you are very nice!”
The Carpenter said nothing but
“Cut us another slice:
I wish you were not quite so deaf–
I’ve had to ask you twice!”
“It seems a shame,” the Walrus said,
“To play them such a trick,
After we’ve brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!”
The Carpenter said nothing but
“The butter’s spread too thick!”
“I weep for you,” the Walrus said:
“I deeply sympathize.”
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
“O Oysters,” said the Carpenter,
“You’ve had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?’
But answer came there none–
And this was scarcely odd, because
They’d eaten every one.
I ish shpeaking wierd twoday. I’se don’t cnoe how loooooooong I shwall be doing its.
I wrote a very bad parody to Walrus and the Carpenter last year.
The Seal and the Lumberjack
The sunflower was growing,
As tall as he could.
Trying to make the ground look nice,
Positive he would.
But he was out of season,
So it wasn’t any good.
The moonflower was angry,
As anyone could see.
The sunflower was the best
But she deserved to be.
“It’s very rude of him,” she said
“To be better then me.”
The seal and the lumberjack,
Were trying not to yell
They were upset because
They had tripped on a big shell.
“If only all the shells were gone,”
They said, “It would be swell!”
“If eight servants with eight brooms,
Swept for a full day,
Do you suppose,” the seal said,
“That they would have a way?”
The lumberjack shook his head
And all he said was “Nay.”
“O Clams do come and talk with us!”
The seal did request.
“A pleasant talk, a pleasant chat,
As we head out West;
We cannot do with more than three,
To give our very best.”
Three young clams hurried up,
All eager for the chance.
Their coats were brushed, their ties straight,
This did greatly enhance.
They did not look bad at all,
From a quick first glance.
The seal and the lumberjack,
Went on walking for some time,
The seal came to a ledge and said,
“It is now time to dine.”
The lumberjack said nothing but,
“The view is mighty fine.”
So the seal ate all the clams,
Every single one.
Though he did it quickly,
It wasn’t very fun.
And when the lumberjack called to the clams,
Answer there came none.
Now the seal sits and weeps,
Wishing it wasn’t so,
And hoping with all his might,
The other seals don’t know,
While the lumberjack keeps saying,
“Where did they all go?”
If you can’t tell, the Seal felt guilty after eating the clams. That, or indigestion.
People. My brother is driving me nuts. He keeps making annoying/ loud/ idiotic noises, and everytime I tell him to stop he and/or my mom start telling me that I have to right to tell him what to do, there’s nothing wrong with what he was doing, etc. The terrible thing is, he thinks those noises are funny.
ye gods, that sounds SO like my brother.
I suppose that’s just the nature of their species.
I strongly recomment ipod/mp3. With the volume up LOUD.
gotta love those things…they make it so much easier to ignore people. lol!
My mother uses the word “phantasmagoric” all the time. Especially for Ghibli movies for some reason, Peeshaw. Howl’s Moving Castle had better win Best Animation. If not, I’ll lose all faith in the Academy.
You know I love Miyazaki-sama.
I have no faith in the Academy Awards. Neither Cinderella Man, or Walk the Line got best picture nominations, Renee Zellwegger didn’t get nominated for best actress, and Russel Crowe was left out of best actor. Did these people even watch Cinderella Man before deciding who was going to be nominated?
I wish I had an iPod. Everyone has them. Girls at my school talk about them like they are required for life. And the accessories they have for them just scream I AM RICH AND PAID A SQUILLION DOLLARS SO I COULD HAVE MY MUSIC-EMITTING THING ENCASED IN RHINESTONES AND SET IN A DECK TO MAKE THE MUSIC EVEN LOUDER AND MORE ANNOYING!!!!! Which is faintly nauseating. But I do wish I had an iPod.
Phantasmagoric is a synonym for weird. As is strange, odd, extraordinary, peculiar, alien, bizarre, uncanny, eerie, and unusual. Synonym are very good when you’re trying to avoid saying the same word four times in one sentence.
We Musers have so much in common. I love Diana Wynne Jones books, and the Series of Unfortunate Events, and Harry Potter, and Bertie Wooster, and all that good stuff. I love books, period. I read during lunch at school and during class meetings sometimes and on the bus and walking around the school and every time my fellow imbeciles say, “You read too much,” or “That reading thing is getting really creepy,” I smirk, because they obviously cannot find an alternate universe to enjoy whenever they want like I can.
Instead of reading, they watch The OC and One Tree Hill and all those teen soap operas, every night, and complain about it at school in THEIR free time. “I can’t believe Johnny died! Oh, it was so sad! But it wasn’t Ryan’s fault. And I can’t believe Kelly hooked up with him!” Sadly, they have Cheez-Its for brains. They have no imaginations anymore, because they let TV do all the thinking.
Fortunately, I’ve found you Musers to be a most excellent bunch. We’re all smart here.
Naughts and crosses,
Mer
hello!
i have a shuffle which rocks and is relatively cheap (although still pretty expensive (especially for a poor job-less teenager(yay self-pity time! Fun times! lol))) Or you could get an mp3. That’s what a lot of people at my skool have.
Or you could be really cool and lug around a record player. Maybe one of the ones you have to wind up by hand. Then people can say “I have an ipod!” and you can be like “pssht, I have a totally awesome record player!”
lol. i’m definitely kidding. Those things are way too big to carry in your pocket.
oh wow. that sounds like some people i know…blech.
I hang out with awesome geeky people though (even if they’re not musers )
Yeah well i’m gonna get back to watching robin hood for the 3957983434986th time so later people…
iPods are the root of most evil in the modern world. As are soap operas. Why am I giving Apple money again? I have a huge alphabetized CD collection, and a boombox, and a portable CD player, but no iPod. Yurgh.
I don’t need an alternate universe. I live in one. You see, Mer, baby, dear girl, the thing is this-I study at school. And read, and write out poems I’m trying to memorize. I do not, in fact, socialize, talk to people, or interact more than strictly necessary. And I’m fine. “I am so cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month. I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis. I’m Zaphod Beeblebrox, man!”
Ce ne c’est pas ma faute.
iPods are so worthless. Did anyone see them making fun of Steve Jobs on SNL? I have a CD player, that’s good enough for me. And I haven’t got a cell phone.
MontgomeryGurl- KILL HIM! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!
/strong> I hope that ended the bold. If it didn’t, oh well. Am I the oldest non-adult on here?
No hablo el frances. Ustedes hablan espanol? Me gusta el espanol. Yo amo mi novia. I wish I had the courage besar ella.
We have your birthday down as April 17, Grant, but I don’t think you’ve mentioned the year.
No hablo mucho espanol, pero yo puedo string a coherent sentence together a veces. Quiero un iPod, porque mi CD player es un piece of junk, much as I love it. No tengo un cell phone. Mis padres tambien no tienen cell phones. Porque? Yo no se. Ask them.
1990.
Yes, I do want to kill him. Unfortunately…. Um, honestly, I can’t come up with a good motivation not to do it. Unless it be that I would most certainly get caught, and then I would be banished to my room forever. But at least he wouldn’t be around to annoy me. Oh, yeah, and it’s morally wrong. Something like that.
LAAAH!
Sorry. That was me singing. You can run away now.
yo quiero….un donut
*giggle*
tenia cuatro tazas de cafe hoy…soy muy alegre…
ok so i have really bad spanish grammar but i guess not everybody will notice that…
MG – if your brother is standing next to you making loud annoying noises he most likely wants to usurp the computer + play one of those loud annoying shooter games that many a brother play . at least thats the case w/ my lb – showing him a controller to any sort of game system usually works… then he’ll go downstairs for like 8 hrs, resurfacing occasionally for food…very predictable creature
#88 – im a year older. anyone older than that?
………well only answer if you want to of course. im not trying to pry info from people, swear
I am, sadly, only fourteen. I’ll be fifteen in March. I’m going to make my mom get me my learner’s permit on my birthday. With my older brother, she procrastinated for several long months. I’m not going to let that happen to me, uh uh.
My birthday is May 9th, for future reference. I should be asleep now, but am not. Yay. And the year is 1992, unless I can’t say.
I agree with Mer. Coincidentally, I noticed your name “Antepenultimate”. Penultimate means second to last, does it not? So Antepenultimate would mean before second to last. Unless I’m totally off.
I watch House. That’s pretty much it. And I usually miss that anyway, so there’s that as well.
Axa,
Right you are! My GAPA searching powers tell me that the word cropped up here on December 30 in comment 106 of the Poetry thread.
The only person I’ve ever known to use it in conversation was the inimitable Polly Shulman. Once, while we were discussing changes to a news story she had edited, she said, “There’s one in the antepenultimate paragraph.” No apologies, no explanations. I thought, ” ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ .” Ever since then I’ve been looking for an opportunity to use it myself, but none has arisen. Maybe you’ll get a chance someday.
I’m twelve, in seventh grade. Am I one of the youngest here? Oh well. Besides, I hate my town so much I fully intend to have moved out by June 2011. I am SO staying on the Blog WAY past that. I am in the middle of a new sci-fi short story, which is going OK but I have problems with word limits.
Baby your mind is a radio…and the receiver, it’s not my hair, baby I’m tuned to your wavelength-let me tell you what it says…
I’m 14. And I get very very scared by the idea of my friends driving…
I have a cold. I do not feel good. My throat is sore, my nose is stuffy, I can’t hear, I’m dizzy, and I’m alternating between hot and cold spells. And guess what? I felt like this yesterday. As did at least 2 of my friends. And we all went to school anyway because there’s too much bloody make-up work and if you miss more than 3 days you can’t exempt any of your exams…. And so we all come to school and pass the germs around. Smart, isn’t it?
Learner’s permit? Are you referring to your temporary drivers’ license? In Ohio, you can’t get it until you’re 15 and a half. I just realized how much the laws here suck. AND we have to take the Ohio Graduation Test!
“Penultimate” was actually used for a plot on my favorite RPG, so that’s how I know. xD RPGs are good for vocabulary building.
i’m 14. October 12, 91. Lowly freshman. Four years of Muse next month. Trumpets rock. Choklit. All the world’s a stage, and i’m the scriptwriter. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
There you go, all the necessary info about me!
My birthday is June 11 ’92. That’s not too much information is it? Remind me again why I would want an ipod? Especially an ipod shuffle. A device which you pay to not let you play your songs in the order you want. Pointless, eh? Please don’t kill me, MG. Besides, If I had one I would probably just put it through the laundry by mistake. And record players are great! Bird bird bird, bird id the word… Anyway, I could just tell everyone i have an ipod invisa. Ick. Teen shows. I watch Numbers and Everybody Hates Chris and that’s it. Chris, stop throwin’ cotton balls all over the place! Other than that, if I’m reeeeaaaaally bored, I might watch whatever old weird thing happens to be on. Who likes the Beverly Hillbillies?
Jane what’shername: *breaks up with Jethro*
Jethro: *doesn’t care a bit for her and goes off to stuff his face.*
Jane: Do you think he’ll eat his heart out?
Jed: Well….
Hey! Shuffles rock!
Besides, you can play the songs in order if you really want to.
But that’s boring. Come on! Excitement and adventure and really wild things!
YAY FOR RANDOMNESS!!!
I don’t like doing shuffles, whether on my computer or on mp3 players, because to me, albums are meant to be listened to in order. They have a sort of cohesiveness about them, when they’re done well, that you loose when you’re skipping from track 3 to track 14 to track 11 to track 1 to a totally different album etc. I mean, the greatness of something like Abbey Road totally depends on the order in which it’s played. And also the way they switch from one artist to another is sort of like walking along on grass and then suddenly getting plunged into cold water, and then oops, you’re not in the water anymore, you’re in the middle of the city LOOK OUT FOR THE TAXI and then suddenly you’re on the top of a mountain. It’s like, what happened?
Yeah, i suppose that makes sense. But in my case i don’t often put whole albums on my shuffle. I prefer individual songs. Sometimes i do put a whole cd on and listen in order, but not often.
people…should i go to homecoming dance #2? (the bball one) I wasn’t planning to, but a lot of my friends are going. I have no idea why i’m asking you people, but whatever. Let it be known that Ebeth is facing internal conflict right now…
oops, that should have been “lose”. I keep doing that. Bad Lizzie. Bad.
Haha, freshie!
OMG IT’S SNOWING! FINALLY!!! About time too…
Well it’s raining, cold, and almost dark here. Ah…my kind of weather. Although I wouldn’t mind a few dozen centimeters of snow. We haven’t had much since December.
We haven’t had any real snow this winter. It’s downright depressing. I’ve been looking forward to building a snow fort and having a war with Ishmael for months.
Go for it, Ebeth. And even if you have a miserable time, you can laugh it up with us afterwards. Don’t you just love anonymous internet friends? They almost always sympathize with you!
Where I live, it is spring and has been since mid-January. Literaly spring, as in we have been getting rain and weather that ranges from 50 to 60 degrees most of the time.
Queenie J is only 12? I thought you were in high school or something… Why does everybody on here seem to be way mature for their age except me? *runs off to smear crayon and grimy handprints on wall* On the other hand, I do get to laugh at all you people who are younger than me but act older. YEEEE! *points finger* Nyeh nyeh! HAHAHA! LAAAH!
Me gusta el asucar. Me gusta el asucar mucho.
It stipped today. What is stipped, you ask? According to the Great And Holy Dictionary of Weird Chicago Weather That You Just Wish You Had (as compiled by The Phantom Norker and Anonymous Coward):
stip- vb. (stip)- a Chicago weather condition in which tiny little snowflakes drip down from the sky like heavenly dandruff and melt on most surfaces (Ex: Moira was struck down by lightining for suggesting that God had dandruff. It was stipping outside.)
w00t! Snow! The rain turned to snow!
We’ve gotten rain and weather in the 60s, but the next day it always drops back below freezing again. So it’s still winter here.
Gak. I took the SAT today. It was awful. Actually, not nearly as hard as I thought it would be, but I’m applying to a math/science high school and I know I bombed the math part. (Bye, IMSA.) I cna still apply next year, but I just needed to vent. I hate the SAT. Evil, sadistical College Board…
Grant- Is it melting/slushifying? If yes, congratulations! You’ve got snain/snrush!
Is this what we are reduced to? Talking about the WEATHER, of all things? Of course, our talks about the weather are highly entertaining, but…
I say, lovely weather we’re having here! *gaaaag*
wow, the weather here was awful today. we have this disgusting type of lake effect snow that occurs when its around freezing + its like having a ton of little hard snowballs blowing in your face
yay for the great indoors
I think it’s cruel and unusual to make grade-schoolers take the SAT to get into highschool.
I KNOW! I had to take the SAT last Saturday. It took five hours! Grrrr. And I had a nosebleed during most of it, urgh…
My birthday is August 31, 1992. Makes me younger than most of you, woi eh?
We have rain here. It melted my snow fort terribly, and then my dog jumped all over it so it is a little pathetic lump of slush now.
Er wait, are you talking about the SAT or the SSAT? Hmm. Does it matter?
Antepenultimate means third to last, which I am not in any respect, but I like the word.
Naughts and crosses,
Mer
hey people…i went, and it was fun. yayness. except now i’m really tired…
OMG i have to tell you this one bit that was really sad though-monica requested cotton eyed joe and by some miracle as yet unheard of in a high skool dance they actually had it and by another odd miracle they actually played it in between the bad rap. So we got in the lines and were dancing it and we looked around and everybody was just standing around clapping and looking confused, and then us 15 or so were up there doing the dance. It was really sad! Nobody knew how to do the cotton eyed joe!!!
That was the first good song. the other two were that one that i don’t know the name of that goes like “i like to move it move it…” it was in madagascar i think. with the weird little furry things. And then they also played love shack, which sounds like a horrible song at first, but after running to it in gym class all through 8th grade it kind of grows on you.
Guys, who’s watching the COMMERCIAL CONTEST?!?!! I am go me!
Does anybody here actually watch the football?
i don’t have to take the SAT until senior year. nyah nyah. i took the PLAN this year, and next year is the PSAT
What’s the SSAT?
We have SNOW! it’s amazing. Like real snow. Yes it’s not even an inch but whatever.
i am about to prove gravity is unconstitutionsal
all people have the right to the persuit of happiness, and being bound by gravity makes me un happy :-(. being as this law resticts my right of the persuit of happiness, it is unconstitutional.
the supreme court should vot to nullify the law of gravity.
now i shall prove that gravity does not exist.
according to the law of gravity, all thing s are MUTUALLY ATRACTED to one another. this is a fatal for two reason.
1. i am most deffinetly NOT atracted to certaiin idiotic biast jerk
who unfortunally are my peers.
2. while very thing is atracte to black holes, black holes are not atracted to aything. there for the atrction is not mutual.\
igf any of the above statments are wrong, don’t shoot the messanger, pie kokpelli.
Which one? There are a lot of idiotic biased jerks in our class…
Do you mean that certain idiotic biased jerk (synonym for that term is ‘jubgibben’) who wishes to grow an afro and has recently broken his leg?
The SSAT is the thing you take to get into a private high school. It’s bloody easy.
At the school I was in last year, everyone knew Cotton-Eye Joe, but few people know it here. I like that song. I saw Madagascar and the furry things’ dance party was pretty funny. Annoying song, but it does grow on you.
I listen to the radio a lot when I’m doing my homework and I keep hearing this advertisement for Frank’s Red-Hot Hot Sauce. It makes me want Buffalo wings because it sounds good. So the evil ad-makers have won in their battle to make me want their product. Except for the part where I actually go to the store and buy it. Because I never will! Hahahaha!!!!
Asucar es malo. Malo, I say! It makes people hyper. I have this friend at school who once had too much sugar and she stood on a chair and proclaimed, “I am Christopher Columbus!”
I happen to hate that song because I think it is stupid and anyway I can’t stand disco, but in context with the dancing lemurs it was very funny.
The king lemur was a control freak, though. (“I like to move it move it, he likes to move it move it, she likes to move it move it, you like to move it move it, that bird over there likes to move it move it…”)
After my friends and I saw it, though, we were walking around the school going, “…And ripping out limbs off!” and laughing hysterically. Everybody pretty much ran away.
i had to take the PSAT last fall – it was hard
but then again im not very smart so it probably isnt that bad for most.
great it snowed like three feet of that disgusting wet stuff last night + now i have to go clear it all off our driveway (which slopes up from the garage to make things more complicated).
WE’RE OFF TOPIC!! WEEEE!!!
Calm…..
Point is, this happens in every blog.
There isn’t a set topic here in the open thread.
Welcome, Crow!
All Musers are smart. It’s in the job description, Emo.
Welcome, Crow!
I haven’t read The Rules in a while, so I think I will entertain myself by rereading them.
I love my shuffle feature. Some albums, especially the Dire Straits ones, are meant to be listened to in order. But nearly everything else I like to mix and redo. And besides, it’s more interesting. Like dim sum. Except not. You know what I mean.
I am currently trying to read all of P.G. Wodehouse. Wodehouse (1881-1975) wrote over seventy books and was knighted in 1975. I am also thinking of doing a “Jeeves and Wooster: The Next Generation” in the 60s, detailing the adventures of Wooster’s son employing Jeeves’s son. With appropriate help from the originals. I might have to wait, though.
Welcome, Crow. Mae govannen.
Hello, Crow. Welcome to this place of weirdness.
I’ve read some books by Wodehouse. Pretty good for being written close to a century ago.
I am having pizza for dinner. I like pizza.
I just went to “Chasing the Sunset”, and I LOVE it! It ook the test and it says I am an Elf. Ah, well, you can’t be a Dragon every time.
All in favor of a Musers’ convention say aye.
No, wait, I just figured out what ‘enigma’ meant. Changed one answer and came out with Unicorn. Hold on–
You are a unicorn
Elegant, graceful and strong. Unicorns possess an inner power that is without equal in the world. They could stare down even a dragon with their calm deep eyes, yet their nature is restless and they are always on the move. Going where they want to, for they symbolize freedom and mystery.
Visit the pixie forest at chasing the sunset, and see what species YOU are.
oops, didn’t mean to download that link. Sorry!
That’s OK. I’m familiar with “Chasing the Sunset” and hereby designate it Mostly Harmless.
which means im smart! yay! hi people*atleast i think youre all people* *even if you all arent people, youre still musers* *so it really should be ‘hi musers!’*
I think most of my aquaintances (how the heck d’you spell that?) would disagree with that discription if it was ever juxtaposed with me, but I think people who really know me in real life would. Heh. They must have gotten that from a real personality test, because I usually come up with something like that.
my teacher picks on me. she was like, “Class, this will be extra credit. you don’t have to do it and your grade will be alright.”
I lost it, and she lowered me down 2 letters!
Oh yes, and who besides me likes the John Bellairs books? I’ve read most of them.
and I like The Face in the Frost the best. And could I also say I love video games? Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots!!!!!
testing html
Boy your teacher is mean. She sounds like mine!
Never read John Bellair, sorries.
Welcome, Bobbyjkl!
I’ve read some of John Bellairs. My favorite is the one where they go back in time with the Time Trolley thing.
I’m just going to go wildly out on a limb here and venture to say that the MAPs would never dream in ten billion years of letting me give out my AIM address. Just a wild guess.
phoenix, that description is really off. you could never stare down a dragon, you blink to much, actually you don’tons are way cooler then unicorens, so they would win. boy that was a run on sentance.
Man, last night I went to the movies with my girlfriend, a buddy, and his girlfriend. It was fun! Except for the movie. Just for kicks, I saw “When a Stranger Calls,” and it SUCKED. If you haven’t seen it yet but want to, don’t. You will waste eight bucks. In case you’re planning on seeing it, I should spoil the ending, right here, right now. That would be easier if there had been an actual plot. During the movie I kept losing circulation to my arm, but it was worth it. So was getting a horrible cramp. After the movie, we went across the street to Arabica and got drinks and talked for a reeeaaaalllly long time. It was fun!
I finished October Sky in 38 hours. The book was better than the movie. I haven’t been able to get to the library, so I haven’t read anything good besides that lately.
My teachers are cool. Sometimes they dance to random things. My math teacher taught the class about the difference between zero slope and no slope by taking us out to the parking lot and skiing around on her roller skis.
You know Zyviva, you are right, I could never stare down a dragon–because I would agree with it. Dragons are super-cool! But I’m telling you, I TRIED to get dragon. Dragons on that sight are portrayed as intelligent animals.
Would it be worse if I stuck with my alternate answer–Elf?
You would get pixie. try it.
welcome, crow and bobbyjkl.
heehee . i just saw corpse bride + it was so stupid but i loved it
guess i love anything thats a musical
……ALRIGHT WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
… so i was in the middle of typing + then my post just kind of disappeared. NO – im not kidding! could be that im not logged on the computer under my name right now… oh well
hehe i just watched corpse bride + it was so stupid but i loved it because it was kind of a musical
… + then i played zelda + beat this pirate chick up so yeah todays been fun
welcome, crow and bobbyjkl !
-K- what is up w that???
The “Chasing the Sunset” link doesn’t work! And I wanted to turn out as an annoying little pointless imp or something! Waah!
Today I went to the library and got Jennifer Government and the ILLUSTRATED Hitchhiker’s Guide! YEE! Although Mr. Prosser doesn’t look right.
oops, th elink dosen’t work for me either. I got there, however, via the Gaboomba.
I’ve fixed the link. Alien and Mithrandir recently changed to a new domain name but haven’t updated all their addresses yet.
Oh yeah! Snow day today! First one of the bloody year! w00t w00t!! I was awake and about to get up when my mom comes in and says “No school today!” Yessssss!
You are a pixie
Congratulations, you are one of us! Pixies are the pinnacle of fantasy evolution. We are pranksters and jokers, keepers of the greatest treasure of any fantasy world: laughter.
i’ve been banned until sunday. goodbye fellow musers!
Mr. Chairman, you suck.
GAPA: *gaps* Ahhh…dying…DELETE!!!
Ok. You don’t suck. Now watch me turn green.
Ebeth: *turns green*
Ebeth is seriously sleep-deprived, having gotten a total of maybe 14 hours of sleep this weekend. She went to the dance and watched the superbowl commercial competition.
ME WANTS A SNOW DAY!!!
Plus me wants snow. All that lovely snow has now MELTED!!!
You may feel sorry for my snow/sleep deprivation now…
its just not fair
so my location remains a mystery i’ll just say that the chances of any of you living in a state w/ worse weather than me are very small.
so there was school today. i got off the bus this morning + practically had to dig myself out of a snowbank. + then this afternoon i tripped + slid down my (very steep) driveway + now my knees hurt from falling on them
alright done complaining sorry
on a lighter note… oh wait there is no lighter note i hate mondays
there was never any snow where i am. but you actually have to feel sorry for me, brcause there is supposed to be snow! american football is stupid. so is television. therefore, i did not watche the supere bowle. according to the thing, i am an elf. diana wynne jones is good and so is miasaki. is that his name? You know, theguy who made Howls moving castle and kikis delivery service and countless other movis which i have seen. you may not complain that this is random, because this is a randomness thread.
Miyazaki. Close, but no hookah. John Bellairs I love to read on dark, scary nights at camp. Mondays are marked by the Mamas and the Papas and Duran Duran.
Bye Kricket! We’ll miss you…
Why doesn’t Jeeves concoct a plan to marry Honoria Glossop off so she’s no longer a threat to Bertie’s bachelorhood? No wait, there really wouldn’t be any plots if he did that. Still…
the superbowl halftime show stank b/c mick jagger is way too old to sing!
Ebeth, welcome to my weather-world. All winter this year it has snowed on the weekends then melted. Over and over. Now that the rodent saw his shadow, maybe I’ll actually be able to use my snowblades!
emo, d’ya live in Oregon?
Okay, just joking. I like making fun of Oregon, even though it is one of my favorite states.
I had a misadventure today, along with Sphinx and Lusifer, Ink. Here goes:
Our bus came late. TWO HOURS LATE. After we have been waiting for about 30 to 45 minutes, a tiny little bus comes, a twelve seater, which would be fine if there weren’t 50 people on our bus. So the tiny bus tries to call dispatch, but he can’t get through. We wait, and I am about to call my mom to carpool as many kids as we can when the supervisor says that the bus is coming, so I stop calling and wait 15 minutes, dunring which the bus does not come. So I call again on the borrowed phone and so do L&S to ask if we can go with a teacher who is a close personal friend of our various families, and our parents say yes. Then the teacher says, “oh look, the bus came,” and so the potential carpool teacher, so we say never mind and hang up. Then we turn around and discover that the bus is…the old mini bus. We wait for a few minutes in case the bus is coming up the drive or summat, and the teacher leaves. We realize there is no bus, panic, and begin to run toward her car, which is down the drive and we could reach, she is just about to dump her stuff in it. But as we are running the evil teacher (the other one is noce, just annoyed) stops us and makes us tell her th ewhole story, so the teacher leaves and we can’t get on. The evil teacher tells us to stay and wait, so we do. After about a half-hour the mini bus takes some kids home, but only the ones that get off on a certain stop. We get exasperated and freezing so we go inside and call our parents on a borrowed cell phone. My mother calls my dad, who was shopping nearby, to come get me. Just after I hang up the big bus, comandeered from the high school, shows up. Grr. So all the kids that, like us, have ‘rides’ stay inside waiting for them, and the teachers give us a lecture on how we should have been patient and trusted the school (yeah right) and not called our parents, or else called them fist off. We try to explain that the reason we didn’t call our parents earlier is that the teachers told us not to, and then we called them which turned out to be a mistake. My father gets there and I take a friend who has no ride home. Finis. But I have a lot of homework, and not enough time to do it in. Grr.
mick jagger is so weird…and yes, WAY too old. And he definitely needed to pull his shirt down.
Wow Phoenix. That sounds frustrating…
Hey has anybody ever seen the show Yes Minister? Dad+I just watched the first episode off a dvd from the library. Very funny. BBC thing i think.
so yeah, erm, LIG i guess…
lol
but that sux!
my morning bus is late a lot because my suburb is like this big hill + the roads are all slanted + kind of built over one another. this one time the rest of the kids @ the bus stop + me just watched the bus s l o w l y crawl up the street below probably 8 or 9 times+ each time it would get to this certain point + then gravity would overcome it + it would just fall back – it was kind of funny but it was also freezing cold + icy. finally the stupid bus rolls back out of sight… and theres this loud noise like the drivers gunning the engine or something… and then he mightve floored it because the bus just shoots up the street like 3 times as fast as before
im definitely… 2000 miles away from oregon, approx
hey… im an ELF!!! w00t
slightly random fact… my back up screen name was capt. holly short (why i thought a back up name would be neccessary beats me…) anyone else into books by eoin colfer? come to think of it theyre probably my favorite series besides the inheritence series
Arrgh! Die, Paolini, DIIIIIIIEEEEEeeeee…..
My computer keeps freezing up on me. Then I have to shut it down, and I can’t save anything or leave any messages. I have to just get rid of it. I hate this piece of junk.
I spent a lot of time today on my old computer, which finally started working. It’s got all these dorky really old games on it. Kind of fun.
It never snows here. Ever. We can wear T-shirts most of the time, even in winter. Today was a rare exception, I needed a hoodie. Once, when I was nine, it snowed eight inches. That’s the most snow I’ve ever seen around here. It’s never come anywhere near that since. Ever.
Wow. (165) Don’t you just hate the school system? Teacherpeople are incapable of not screwing important things up.
Haha, three winters ago it snowed two feet. w00t! It was difficult to move and a little girl who lived down the street from us wasn’t allowed to go outside because she was too short. Chouette, dude.
I’M BACK!!!!!!!!! I’M BACK!!!!! I MISSED YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!! WHY IS THERE ANOTHER SKOOL THREAD!!!! I LOVE CHEESE!!!!!! I MISSSED EVERYBODY!!!! I ALREADY SAID THAT!!!!! I MISSPELLED MISSED!!!! I MIGHT HAVE TO READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD TO UNDERSTAND THINGS!!!!! SO WHAT HAVE Y’ALL BEEEN DOIN’???!!!???
I’M BACK!!!!! I’M BACK!!! I MISSED YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!! I LIKE CHEESE!!!! I FINALLY GOT SOME TERRY PRATCHET FROM MY FRIEND AND I’M GOING TO HOLD IT HOSTAGE UNTIL SHE GETS ME SOME MORE!!!!! I MSSED EVERYBODY! I DIED WITHOUT Y’ALL!!! I MISSPELLED MISSED!!! WHY IS THERE ANOTHER SKOOL THREAD!!!! I HAVE TO DO MY GRAMMER HW!!! SO, WHATS GOIN’ ON WITH Y’ALL!!!!????!!!
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE ACCIDENTALLY POSTED MY GREETING TWICE BECAUSE I DIDN’T SEE THE FIRST ONE SORRY PEOPLES!!!!!!
oh dude, no. that’s not cool. put that right back right now, or i swear, i’ll post everything twice out of sheer confusion. i for one found that very helpful, and who’s blasted idea was it to get rid of it anyway?
WE GOT UPGRADED?????!!!!!!????!!!! why do i always miss these things???? somebody tell me what’s goin’ on around here please!
169 – Mmm, I dislike those books, although rather more passively, Phoenix.
Phoenix, you are right. The Belgriad is much better than Inheritence. (I’m on bk 4 allready.) But I still don’t see that it copies that much.( Ce’nedra is nothing like Arya.) What is the passage in Magician’s Gambit that was almost word for word like Eldest?
It’s when they go to the vale and Belgarath is teaching Garion to use his Will to move a rock.
I don’t think I said Arya was like C’Nedra, but if I did it was a typo b/c i meant to say she was a cross between Polgara and Adara, more of Polgara.
Welcome back, Em!
I haven’t upgraded anything, but Paul Baker seems to think some of the glitches here indicated that the host company was installing new software. Maybe that’s why you can’t see the comments you’ve submitted. I’ll ask.
Followup: I still get the usual “awaiting moderation” forms when I log in as a non-GAPA. Have you changed browsers lately? Seems to me that function would have to use temporary cookies to tell it who you are, and maybe your computer won’t accept them.
You know what’s really annoying? Overprotective friends. Ebeth, a friend of mine is convinced you’re a stalker. She saw your comments on my Xanga, and she wanted to know where I met you. “A chat room type thingie.” “How did she get your Xanga?” “I gave it to her.” She basically had a fit. She said there was no telling who you were, and you could come into my house and kidnap me, or something. And then when I told her I gave you my AIM, you should’ve seen it. I’m like “I met her in a chat room, and she’s been there for longer than I have, and there’s never been any problems. I was the one who first asked about Xanga, not her. She belongs to a blogring for a high school, and her friends come and comment. This would have to be one elaborate set up, just to fool me. And she’s never said anything to make me worry. And even if she was a stalker, all she’s got is my AIM and Xanga. If she starts to creep me out, I’ll just change both of those, and cut contact.” Grrrrr.
She’s not just overprotective about you, Ebeth. I go to this chat room for a Christian band. We hand around, and talk about all sorts of stuff. There’s one place to post prayer requests, and stuff like that. I posted a request for some of my friends who are really struggling. This girl, who’s my age (I’ve seen a picture of her, by the way, and her mom is on the chat room), sent my a private message through the site. She just wanted me to talk about what was going on in my life. We PMed back and forth, and then she wanted to send me something that was too long for a private message. So I gave her my e-mail. We hadn’t talked in a few days, and I saw her AIM on her public profile. So I sent her a message. It turns out, she was helping another lady from the chat room (or boards), who is dying of an eating disorder. We talked about it, and it was just really good. By the end of the night, Alex (the girl I was talking to) really felt that the lady was going to be healed. She thanked me for talking with her, and praying. I told my friend the story, and she was like “you should really be careful about these people”. I don’t think she realizes how many online friends I do have that I don’t give my AIM and Xanga to, because I’m being careful. She completely missed the point of the story, and it rather upset me.
There may be good reasons to phear Ebeth, but IMHO (FWIW) stalking isn’t one of them.
Are you sure??? (cue ominous scary music with many banging timpanis)
no i don’t stalk people. I often freak them out though…
my mom’s kinda like that. my dad doesn’t really care though, he knows i don’t give out a lot of info.
Hey guys, i wore my awesome geeky koko shirt today!!! and then in science we finished a lab and were talking about geeky shirts just in general, and andy pulls out this catalog and OMG funny geek shirts!!! A lot of it was computer stuff (1+1=10 (andy had to explain that one to me. It’s binary), pi, lots of windows jokes some pretty sweet stuff) but it had some other cool stuff too, like a picture of einstein made entirely out of little e=mc2 things (like y’know those pictures made out of all dots? Like that.) and a model of a choklit atom (except they spleled it rong!!!) ME WANTS! So yeah we spent the rest of class grabbing it from each other and explaining the jokes to lizzy, who didn’t get any of it. Fun times…
Oh and i found out my solo time. 9:40. AAAH! Me+morning=No. (ooh fun math) oh vell, at least it’s not 8 or something.
I hate Inheritance. Not because it’s a terrible copy of the Belgariad, but because it’s so [censored] BORING. I can write more interesting stuff than Paolini, and I’m 13. (Course, that’s not hard…)
A-C may be moving to Oregon. emogrl, do you live in DC or something? They have terrible weather, though not as bad as here.
And I thought that the OEADs weren’t letting us give out contact info like AIM and Xanga ‘n’ stuff? Are we allowed to now?
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t.
PN (185),
Nope, not here–MontgomeryGurl must have found another place to give out her information. We can’t police the whole Web, thank the Muses.
Nationstates actually.
I saw queen j on cts! Yes i started reading it…i’m only on 100 or something though
omg yes that was one of the shirts tpn! wheeee…
hyperness and boredom…
equals me posting every five seconds! WHEEEEE!
i posted a lot last night, and i didn’t get a single ‘awaiting moderation’ post until comment 29 on the larry gonick thread. thats why i kissed the blog. i didn’t change servers, but if you post once and then change your name and post again, you can only see the comments you posted with the last name you posted with. but i don’t think that happened to me… im not sur.
and if you really want to give people info (i really wouldn’t recommend it) you can ask them their nationstates nation and telegram them.
grrrrrrr
*sigh* this thread is doing that thing where the pots fill the whole window…. its gonna be a long month.
hmmm…
why can’t my name be invisible?
Em (192)-Of course it is. Hey, how about we make another bet with the OEADs? If we break our previous record, we get… PHILITIS THE DIME! (Philitis is the name of some Greek dude that I forgot.)
What’s an OEAD again? Hold on, I’ll look it up… Oh. “Our Exalted Administrator Dude.” Hm. Hard to pronounce, and you can’t put it into the llama song, but as you will.
‘Ello, all!
If anyone needs proof thjat this site is safe, the fact that I am on it proves it. My dad used to be a computer programmer and he is ULTRA protective (coughparanoidcough)
Before he lets me go to a site, he lurks for a week or two. If he decides it’s okay, he googles everyone on the site to see what websites they go on, and makes sure they have NEVER done ANYTHING suspicious. Then he lets me on, if I let him see a printout of everything I say and is said to me. I don’t have to do a printout of this site, which shows how good it is.
If your father checked me out through the Muse links on Wikipedia, then he found out that I died in 1936. Some people would consider that pretty scary.
(By the way, I used to be a computer programmer, too. Among many other things.)
definitely… 700 – something miles away from DC…
wearing your muse shirts to school can be very entertaing i wore mine for the 2nd or 3rd time on monday + like 10 ppl read it + it was kind of creepy cause it took each person like 3 minutes so id just see them staring @ me w/ a really serious expression + id freak out before realizing what they were doing
ok so i see not a lot of people are crazy about inheritance. you know, i guess i can see why. the plot line is one of the more over used ones. oh well, i’d really like to find a new book that doesnt have an over used plotline
The half-time show may have sucked, but at least there weren’t any Wardrobe Malfuntions. Unless you count mick jagger’s shirt. I would have been much obliged if it was about a foot longer. And his sleeves too. Eww, old man arms. *sings*I can’t get no sensible clo-othes. Usually, I don’t watch the Super Bowl, but I had my reasons this year. There’s nothing inherently wrong with American football, it’s just that everyone takes it SO seriously (around here, anyway) and prectically worships the players. Plus a game take FOREVER with all the timeouts and such.
Actually, I got through reading the CtS archives in two days. It was lots of fun.
Mick Jagger has had four blood transfusions. Did you know that? I didn’t watch the Superbowl, I was catching up with some Jeeves and Wooster. (Go Jeeves! Yar boo sucks, Gregson!) The Stones were chosen because they’re safe. Ruby Tuesday is my favorite Stones song. David Byrne should play during the next Super Bowl. That would be fabulous.
Yo quiero uno blusa de Koko. Must annoy parents. Unfortunately, no big gift-giving holiday coming up.
Robert:
Wiki doesn’t say you’re dead. I quote:
“Robert Coontz, who does the Q&A section of the magazine, also runs the fan page for subscribers that can’t wait four months for their letter to be published.”
Pretty hard to run a fan page if you’re a corpse. You’re fingers would keep falling off as you typed.
Muse has been stubbed!
Yep. Nation States. We exchanged Xanga sites. Neither of us were very suspicious about the other person (Come on, you don’t really think Ebeth is a stalker, do you? And you trust me, right?). We didn’t think it violated the spirit of the blog, since we weren’t exposing other innocents to our links. That was our logic. Anyway, even if we hadn’t exchanged on Nation States, I could’ve just plugged everything Ebeth had posted about her alter ego’s site into Xanga’s search engine, and probably come up with Bob’s blog.
LI (203),
Too bad! They removed the link from my name. It used to lead here. (That’s my great-grandfather.)
Well, famous dead relative is about as close as it gets to being famous yourself. Actually, an admiral in the US Navy isn’t famous, but he does have a wiki page.
I have a Koko shirt, but when I got it, they didn’t come in XS. As I’m still under five feet and skinny, it doesn’t fit me too well. I still like to gaze upon it, though.
The company brought them out in adult sizes. I’ve never understood that.
looks like you too.
I am probably descended from Geghis Khan… And there’s probably a wiki page on him
Not, however, direct male-line, so I don’t have disturbing visions or want a house at Point D with axes over the door.
(208) Yeah. Some of us are not adult-sized. I’m also under five feet, by a little bit.
*Genghis, Jenghis, Chingghiz, whatever. Take your pick.
Koko must have tampered with the order form. Nothing like that happened with the Urania shirts.
since there are so many newcomers, i shall ask again: is anyone in Odessy of the Mind?
Some of us never make it over five feet. I did by just a few inches. My mom and lots of aunts and cousins are under five feet. We are short and proud.
I’m 4″11 and 3/4 of an inch. My Mom doesn’t expect me to make it over 5″3.
I hate being short. Do you know how hard it is to be taken seriously when half of the FIFTH GRADERS in your school are taller than you?
Oh, and nice moderation, OEADs. (Yes, I shall persist in calling you that. And I say it something like “eeds.”) Very fast. I am reminded of the poem I posted on a different thread (or was it this one?) about fast moderation that I shall not post here for fear of it being the fourth-worst poetry in the entire universe. (Yes, I just read my lovely Illustrated HG2G. Why do you ask?)
Odessey of the Mind, hmmm. I tihnk I’ve done that before.
4’10 1/2″
According to my doctor, I’m not supposed to make it over 5’1″. Clearly, she has not met any of my six-foot uncles.
And what, pray tell, is Odyssey of the Mind?
I’m 5’6″ at twelve. Can’t help you there. It’s more or less the average height. The Dutch are the tallest race, and I forget who’s the shortest. I have both Koko and Urania shirts, one of each, and they are huge and I love them. They are going to be pajamas at camp. I also wear them all the time.
Tomorrow I will shock everyone by wearing a long black dress I love. I’m not Goth but ska-bop. I am also working on a new Team Emu short story (you love Team Emu. Team Dodo died in a mysterious aesthetics torture some months before.) and some rewrites on the very worst scenes in The Frangarshion.
i’m too lazy to describe it, so i shall find you a website. *goes and googles it* it should be perfectly safe:
http://www.odysseyofthemind.com/
Lusifer Ink., you are the same height as my mom. Being short never stopped her from impressing people.
Over her career she has done lots of important things. Among her accomplishments: she ran successful political campaigns for herself and others, she was elected to the county council, and became the head of the council (the “chair”). And later she was a lobbyist — not a sleazy one but a lobbyist for the cause of good. She got laws passed that improved health and education for people in the county where she lives.
Now she has retired and has become an artist. I’ve got two of her prints hanging in my office. Yay mom!
Short people have what it takes.
I feel bad for Robert, though. He’s tall.
Sad but true.
(217) Yeah, I can’t intimidate or get respect from anyone at this size. There are boys in my grade who are six feet tall, and two girls who are close. I am the sole shortest person except for a girl who comes up to my nose, because she’s extremely small. So I gotta win my battles with wit instead of whack.
There’s a boy in my grade, 12 years old, that must be 5″8.
One of my best friends is around 5″6. My grade is very short, though.
My Mom is 5″1, and she’s an accountant.
Cool, Adon Madrich, your great-grandpa was a naval officer!
Torah Bowl tomorrow! w00t!
I am short and proud. 5 feet and precisely one-half inch above that marker. I may be short, but I punch hard
actually, I get most of my fighting don ethrough blackmail (“stop that or I won’t proofread your English paper/ Hebrew paper/ science report!”)
it really works, too.
I’ve never identified with short people. I’m fourteen, and I’m 5′ 8″ and a half. At my speech conference, they lined us up by height. I was the tallest girl at speech, and at debate. It was a little disconcerting.
Most of my friends (non-online, where I don’t really know height, unless you tell me) are tall, too. There’s one (female) who’s four months younger than me and taller than MG. (5’9″ or something and not done growing) and my teacher (also female) is 6’4.” Even A-C, who is on the short end for one of my friends, is 5’6.” I feel like a midget.
I may be short, but I know lots of fencing tricks and can whack you wiht a hockey stick if there’s one at hand. More often, however, I just make sarcastic comments that nobody else gets.
Phoenix sharpens her fingernails, and then she pokes me with them. Ow.
im pushing 5 foot three but @ my age its not like im gonna grow anymore. im ok w/ it but sometimes people w/ no sense of humor (aka my LB) make fun of my height – my (big, i guess) LB is five foot six.
as well as being short im also a redhead so thats how the nickname capt holly short came around
I have a friend who’s about six foot. But she always wears high heels, so she seems freakishly tall.
Pokey pokey.
Nice. I love Artemis Fowl.
Aaaah, Phantom Norker, I feel your pain. Everyone expected me to be 4’11” but I’m at least 5’1″ now. I’m hoping for 5’3″ but I doubt I’m growing anymore.
ZOMG, Rosanne, not only are we the same age, we’re the same height!
Hmm. Is the clock off? Testing, 123, testing…
Never mind.
I’m about 5’4″
most of my friends are short to medium size, but i’d say the most extreme are sam, matt, and jen.
First off, jen and matt are both REALLY tall. (Jen’s in MI, matt’s in OOHI) about the same height i think. probably over six feet.
Sam(antha) is the shortest person i know. She wears shoes with really thick heels (not high heels, more like platforms) and she’s still shorter than the rest of us. ok anybody who knows the schuler’s in GR, y’know they have those short shelves? well for everybody else, they do. And sam is shorter than them.
GAPA RC, you have cool ancestors…
Zallie (#235), maybe we’re twins who were separated at birth. Just like the movie The Parent Trap — only instead of meeting at summer camp we meet on MuseBlog.
Same alphabet, same font size–the resemblance really is striking.
Hey Ebeth! I’m 5’4″ too!
Yeah! *high five* (a very easy thing to do when you’re at the same height. )
Zallie Spector…
unless GAPA Rosanne took her foster parent’s name or something…
Mr. Green is back. Watch out world.
Randomness and yeah.
Oh i’m reading Uncle Fred in the springtime btw. Yay and britishness! ♥
I’m like 4′ 11′ or something. I don’t know. There seem to be a lot of shorties (no offense) here.
yay! *high fives back*
Coincidence? I’m not so sure. Look at Kokopelli…
All you little people are making me feel freakishly tall.
inventory
you have:
a splitting headache
no tea
I found a HG2G text RPG on the web. Can I link? Ahh,…gotta love good, old-fashioned (sort of) text. Unfortunately, I have yet to make it out of the bedroom. All I’ve managed to do so far is get up, run into the wall, fall down a lot, and panic.
How about a splitting headache AND no tea? Grr… Except I do have tea. Am going to pour myself a cup of tea right now.
MontgomeryGurl (#246), you and Robert should form a tall persons support group!
ahhhhhhhh……..(feels caffeine rush into her veins)…..yes!!!
i just had a cup of instant chai tea. actually i dont know if it should even be considered tea cause it has as much sugar + caffeine as a cappuchino. yeah im kind of a caffeine addict… + i can be certain about that now because i was tired all afternoon yesterday – even after my daily coffee. then i found out that they had switched the coffee machines + i had accidentally gotten decaf… bleh
hmm, real tea… black w/ orange + spice is really good. so is that holiday ginger stuff they only sell around christmas
AHOY PPLS!!! – – – – – – – tomorrows pirate day!!! im gonna pillage my govt classroom!
oh oh red tea cant forget about red tea if u havent heard of it, it originated in africa + it kinda tastes like vanilla. really good.
i think we need to make a midgeot mob
I love that game! It’s lots of fun. Here’s a few pointers:
“Turn on light”
“Pick up gown”
“Put on gown”.
I get stuck at the bulldozer part. And run over.
I’ll be in the tall persons support group. *adjusts monitor* I can use wit and whack, but really wit helps more because I’m practiced at the method.
hello im new here so dont throw any pies at me*covers head looks around phew* and just wanted to say its great to have found ppl who like muse as much as i do
Hi, tiggy! Welcome to MuseBlog. It’s great to have another Muse fan(atic) in our midst.
Where is it? Is it link-able?
‘Ello tiggy. *hides pie behind her back* So…nothing suspicious about me coming up right? Just a little friendly chat what? So tell me…erm…isn’t it nice sometimes to just shut your eyes, and be completely oblivious to the world around you? It’s a nice feeling! Why not try it?
*GAPA comes charging up the hill yelling “NOOO”*
Oh, just realized i’ve got to go. Extremely important appointment. Can’t miss it. You know how these things are. *throws pie at GAPA and runs away at top speed*
im the tallest kid in my class and my bestest friend have to stare up at me all the time!
Velcome, Tiggy! Do not be alarmed, ve are all black ribboners here.
Hehe, just a joke. I’m not really a vampire. (well I am, but I only suck the blood of the tictchy sixth graders in my school. Don’t worry )
Ebeth, I saw your Xanga. From the link on CtS. You are very funny.
Just to ease your mind, I am not a stalker. At least I don’t think I am. *runs off to look in mirror* nope, still Phoenix.
If you are talking about the RPG I play, YKM, here’s a hint: turn on the lights and look in the pockets of your robe.
I can’t find the site any more– can you post a link?
Oops, I didn’t see Queenie J.’s post. Sorry!
Hey, I actually found the definition of a Lurker! “In Internet culture, a lurker is a person who reads discussions on a message board, newsgroup, chatroom or other interactive system, but rarely participates.” Good stuff, huh?
yesterday’s_kinked_moose (#247), send the link and I’ll check it out.
*gasp* STALKER ALERT! STALKER ALERT! CODE RED! CODE RED!!!
lol jk. You’re not a stalker. At least…I don’t think so. *ominous scary music starts*
*chants* LINK LINK LINK!!! WE WANT LINK!
oh, I found the RPG! here is the link:
http://www.douglasadams.com/creations/infocom.php
and I just got on the the heart of gold. took me a while to get past the Vogons, though. I can’t figure out how to get the miniature improbability drive working, it dosn’t like the tea! and I met a very rude door who won’t let me thorugh ’cause I’m too stupid.
Its the hard knock life Pheonix is mean
How do you even get to the game?
im tall!!! whohoo!!!!
5′ 6 (something like that)
isnt the american measurement system stupid?
i call it the imperial system . how do u make the RPG work?
ah yes. by the way i am also twelve so it is not like ia am going to stop growing anytime soon
Okay, that previous post was NOT me! My sister typed that. Here is the story:
Fact: I was on spaceship Heart of Gold, reprogramming the nutro-matic.
Fact: my little sister was hanging around the computer making annoying remarks.
Fact: I ask her to leave.
Fact: she ignores me.
Fact: I yell at her.
Fact: she moves closer.
Fact: This progresses for some time.
Fact: I am so annoyed that I attempt to save, but fail twice.
Fact: I try to type in a command, but for some reason it goes into the surf bar at the top and the web site is almost lost.
Fact: I press the back button.
Fact: The game is lost.
Fact: I yell at my sister.
Fact: my sister yells back.
Fact: I go to Museblog to try and type in my game.
Fact: my sister, who is still hanging around, bangs on the keyboard because I am trying to tell how she lost the game for me. Every time I reach for it she bangs and almost crashes the computer.
Fact: I call the mom-police.
Fact: my mom can’t hear
oops, she banged on the keyboard again. Okay, from there:
Fact: my mom can’t hear and so I leave to go tell her.
Fact: she says my sister needs to take a bath and I go back.
Fact: my beloved sibling is typing post #264. Right before I get to her she sends it.
Fact: my mom gives me authorization to tell this story because she is screaming and being immature. She messes up the post twice and sends it once.
finis.
yes, this is my sister the musical prodigy…but in a snit.
Now I have to start the game again. Bugrit, millenium hand and shrip.
By the by, if you need proof that #264 is fake, look at how she spelled my name, a mistake which I would never make.
the RPG is a screenshot. You have to read the text below it to get to the game. Or I will just cheat and tell you
okay, look at the screenshot. it has a serial number, and type the number in the bar at the bottom of the screen (scroll down.)
my mom is now making me apologize to my sister. Gots ta go…
she got angry b/c she says telling y’all she had to take a bath is vile slander.
I have successfully stood up and am totally lost from there.
Fact: you ought to do something violent to your sibling.
Fact: This will get dasz polezei’s attention.
I can’t get past that stupid bulldozer! I take the towel from Ford, but if I try to get up after that, the damn thing demolishes my house and a brick kills me!
I gotta check this game out…
How do you do that evil cat face smiley?
ARGH! Evil. I can’t even get out of the bedroom. How do you do it, in the name of zarking fardwarks?!?!
Hey, Phoenix, you can find my Xanga by looking at the comments and going to the one with the Dr. Pepper profile pic.
WHAT THE… oh im such a scatterbrain – i did posts 250 + 251 but i put my password for the skool computers as my name…@ least i think it was my mistake (emogrl is typing this – in case the name switching thing is a computer glitch).
80
+ whats w “80”… i was trying to make mr shocked smiley guy
type:
TURN ON LIGHT
GET OUT OF BED
GET GOWN
WEAR GOWN
LOOK IN POCKET
GET ANALGESIC
S
well, /that/ was an interesting entrance onto stage if i ever saw one. xD
I got onto the Vogon ship, and I almost got the Babel fish, but I didn’t keep the junk mail! Now I’m stuuck! Stupid stupid stupid.
Let that be a lesson to you all. Keep your junk.
Grant, don’t swear. this, as far as i can tell, is what you do:
TURN ON LIGHT
GET UP
GET GOWN
WEAR GOWN
LOOK IN POCKET
GET ANALGESIC
S
S
LIE DOWN
WAIT
WAIT
WAIT
WAIT
WAIT
WAIT
S

GET DEVICE
PRESS GREEN BUTTON
umm… i don’t know what to do after this.
okay, so i got the junk, but its not helping.
whenever i press the green button, i get stuck.
AAAAAHHHH!!! IT WAS SMELL!!!! diediediedie!!!!
how do i get a babel fish?
whhat was that web site that insulted you when ever you clicked on it?? I really need to know if anybody remembers.
Shouldn’t this dicussion of the HG2G RPG be on the Douglas Adams thread?
Thanks, Em. I only read the book once.
Come on, people, visit a few of the older threads, like Writing and Hot Topics. Just ’cause they’re oooold… Whah, when AAH was a young’un, AAH ahlwais visited the oooldster threads…
Is there an “old” smiley? Hmmm… :old: :ancient: :wizened:
um, actually you should probably type ‘get all’ and then ‘get’ when you are in the house and on the porch, and after mr prosser lies down in the mud, to get the toothbrush and junk mail and towel and screwdriver, because you never know when you might need this stuff. and after you ‘hichhike’ keep typing smell and then examine, and then eat the peanuts, otherwise you will die. i got stuck when i tried to get a babel fish.
:o: That was supposed to be : old :n but I guess it changed just the first letter or something. Whatever. I’ll just do Mr. Green and pretend he has a long white beard and a pipe. He looks sorta like movie Gandalf, only green and smiling.
Hmm… so :o: isn’t a smiley? :old:
Thanks for the help.
Haha, I typed in “jump” and it said, “Now, wasn’t that fun?”
:o: this is confusing as all heck…
Good idea, Phantom Norker (#287), let’s move discussion of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy interactive fiction game (the text RPG, that is) over to the Douglas Adams thread.
I didn’t post it on the HG2G thread because I haven’t been on there in a while and I didn’t know if anyone was there. Okay, end of discussion.
(296) *grumble* yes, ma’am.
Awww. Now I feel bad! I didn’t mean to bum anyone out. Just that now that you’ve got the discussion rolling, it seems like it could make the move to the Douglas Adams thread — which does seem like its natural home.
I’ve sort of figured out how to get a Babel fish. Take off your dressing gown, hand it on the hook, take Ford’s towel and put it over the drain, take his satchel and put it over the robot panel, and then I can’t figure out how to stop the “upper-half-of-the-room cleaning bot” from taking the fish as it flies through the air.
300th post? Whee!
So what do we talk about now?
I really, really, really hate it when people on fanfiction sites don’t have ayone else read their stories and end up with horrible apostrophes all over the place. I hate that.
To stop it from taking the fish, you put the junk mail on top of the satchel. I think. It says how to do it on the hints page, though.
I’ve gotten to the Heart of Gold but I’m not quite sure what to do from there…
Ooooh! Burn! I got the 300th post! Whoohoo!
Er, no, you didn’t. OOOH, BURN! Someone call the FIRE TRUCK.
whoa over 300 posts in 9 days – do the random threads always grow this fast?
Ah, yes, I did.
*calls fire truck*
Fire people: hello?
Me: do you have a fire truck?
FP: yep
Me: um could you bring it over here?
FP: um no. its sort of on fire, so we cant drive it.
Me:oh. thats too bad. i guess i better call the FIRE BRIGADE instead
FP: i guess so *hangs up*
ph said 300th post on the 301st post.
And now this will be the 309th post unless somebody comes along to ruin my dreams (yes, all my life i’ve wanted to have the 309th post on the february thread of a blog for crazy musers. Ever since i was a baby…)
where are the GAPA?an hour and no moderation
hey!
there back!
Hi, dark lord of darkness. I was having tea and cake and reading a book. I’m back now for a little while. Eventually, though, I will have to make dinner and leave the comments to pile up and talk amongst themselves in pre-post limbo. (Unless Robert comes along and sends them on their way.)
Hey people. Talk to me, and distract me from the horror of writer’s block at 9:31 Ebeth time with four more pages to write for tomorrow…
how’s life guys?
I HAVE THE BABEL FISH! After you follow my instructions as posted above, put the junk mail from your doorstep on the satchel and press the dispenser button. The robots will be confused and the babel fish lands in your ear. Anyone who tries this tip may send $5 to my address if the GAPA allow it.
aawwwww…i missed it! maybe i’ll start another game…seeing as i can’t get out of the corridor anyway…
Wow…what time do you eat dinner?
Hi. Ive never been to this page before(at least sence this blogging thing was put up). What do i write?
Uh oh. People yelling. got to go. Ill be on tomarrow around 3:40ish if someone wants to explain to me.
Hi Jadestone. Welcome to MuseBlog and come back soon!
You asked what you should write. Here’s an answer:
In this thread, whatever random thing you feel like. Or you can visit the other threads for more focused discussions.
Ciao for now —
Whatever you want. You could say that aliens are attacking the planet. You could say that you want a cheeseburger. You could say that you hate cheeseburger. You could sing cheeseburger in paradise. You could ponder your sudden fixation with cheeseburgers. You could eat a cheeseburger (and say so). You could splel choklit rite. You could put babel fish in your ear. You could conclude by this post that i’m procrastinating (and be absolutely right). You could wonder about the pie half-hidden behind my back. You could step back slowly…and run. I could throw the pie after you, and miss, hitting Kokopelli instead. Kokopelli could throw the pie back at me. We could start Pie War II. We could discuss in great detail the events leading up to pie war II. Or pie war 1 for that matter. Or WWI. Or you could do my history hw for me (which is the same thing, almost). Or you could ignore me and listen to some of the saner musebloggers.
Hi, all. I was out tutoring math, as I do on Thursday nights. I’ll be up for another hour or so, after which Rosanne may resume moderating if she feels like it.
Ebeth, I eat usually eat dinner around 8 p.m. It’s not time yet. In California it’s only 7:05 p.m.
Hi, Robert. Have fun.
Wow. In ohio it’s 10:00
Hey tis the other GAPA! Will you rescue me from my boredomness and imminent doom?
i have a lot of homework that i didnt do and its 1017pm!
yikes!
but im still procrastinating !
yikes!
i am going ot havr to stay up to a late hour!
yikes!
Ebeth (325),
As the doctor said in Macbeth, “Therein the patient must minister to himself.” (Or herself, in this case.) Maybe you and DLOD can entertain each other.
hey dark lord of darkness! Whazzup?
maybe!
im done with my history homework !
yay! 10:44 now
*gasp* are you in my time zone?
a lot of homework. you?
yep! (i think so) EST right?
well duh
Same. 2 and 1/2 more pages to write. Then math i can do in gym cuz we have a sub tomorrow which means we get study hall, and history i can read the chapter in homeroom but we’re not doing much of that anyway cuz we’re doing an rpg thing. Science i can do at lunch or during english. Then i can get more hw to do. *sigh* oh the joys of skool…what happy students! Getting all that learning! Yeah right…
an rpg thing in english? sadly, nothing like that for me.
nope. In history.
I’m Austria-Hungary. Go me. I get to be mad at serbia. Yippee. Oh joy.
History is 2nd hr. so i’m not all that excited really. I’m not a morning person.
lol!
i usally end up doing most of my homework when i am supposed to be paying attention in class or during lunch. and i still manage to get straight 90-95’s!
wait… so you pie the serbians, or just argue?
*sigh* oh for the happy days when that was true….
I used to be able to do that but i have so much hw now…especially w/honors english and all. Now i do it frantically in class and at lunch and and home. Although i definitely do my share of procrastinating!
Actually i’m mega-lucky tomorrow because i don’t have gym. yay!
I wish! No, i just stand there and act mad. And then russia comes in between us and other countries take sides and WWI starts. Fun stuff.
well, i believe your older than me. me =12
and then lots of people die. THE END
14. And a bit. Wait…14 years, 3 months, and some days.
Rosanne – (Hah, I just saw your post about twins) I bet that’s it. We’ve met on the Museblog now, though, so what’s next? Do we have to prank each other’s threads or somethign?
zallie!
ur here too!
Par-tay time!
I AM! & I feel old.
yay!!
All,
I’m logging off in about 15 minutes. Maybe Rosanne will come on and moderate for a while, but she was feeling flu-ish earlier today and may have gone to bed early. So… party while you can.
*parties*
oh no! well, hopefully i will be done with my homework by then , so i will go to bed
i’m getting off soon anyway. Only a page left!!! Squee! So i’ll probably just hurry up and finish it off and go to bed.
allmost done……………………………….done!
byby off to bed 4 me
party party party
ok im REALLY gone now
REALLY bye
‘Night, all.
yo. I would really like that web site
‘Ello, all. Last night I did not post b/c I was babysitting for my two small brothers and medium sister for SIX HOURS. Sister was helpful, my older brother was good, but my baby (ok, toddler, h’es 1 and 1/2) brother was insane and uncooperative ALL night. And my brother refused to fall asleep untill I played him music on my clarinet, and my sister until I assured her of the safety of the house from robbers/murderers/fires/insane rioting penguins (okay, not that last one) and both of them wanted me to sing them to sleep, which I did.
I couldn’t get my toddler brother to sleep until eleven o’clock, and then only by dumping him in the bed and laying down next to him and blocking his escape route. My parents got home at half past midnight (they were at a wedding) and I didn’t get any homework done b/c by the time I was free I was too tired, so I get today off. That at least was nice.
Pheonix:
Sounds like a rough night. Don’t think I would want to do that, but lucky for me because I’m homeschooled, so I stay at home all day.
I wonder if Muse would do an article on synesthesia? I’m really curious about it, and if you can have it if it can be so small as just tingles running up the left side of your torso whenever you hear a squeak.
Can I just be sad over here, with no explanation? Ebeth knows what’s up with me. I just want to cry. Yes, I truly do. I want give up and stop caring. I’m tired of helping, I’m tired of watching a fight I know is being lost. I feel incredibly helpless. If anyone really cares, ask me and I’ll tell you what’s wrong.
Hello. I’m not to sure what to do, this is my first time on this blogging thing. What do i write?
Most people start by saying a few things about themselves (general likes and dislikes, how long you’ve read Muse–the sort of thing you might put in a letter to Muse Mail). Then, within a few posts, they usually get very silly.
You might want to start over in “Welcome, Newcomers.” It’s about time it was actually used to welcome a newcomer.
That reminds me: Welcome, newcomer!
Hello, Jadestone! Velcomen!
You okay, MG? What happened?
Hi! i was just at thenewcomers page, but came back here. lets see………… Koko is my favorate muse, but i like Aeiou too. Ive been getting muse fo about 3 years. Thats all i have to say write now.
Hi, Jadestone. So, tell us a little about yourself. A lot of us Musers are booklovers. Some, like MontgomeryGurl, are major fans of the classics. Others are crazy about fantasy. Quite a few are big on Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. We have a whole thread devoted to HG2G’s author Douglas Adams here — so if you’re curious about that, check it out. Do you like to read books? If so, what are your faves??
gapa, at first i thought you said ‘do you read books?’ and my heart almost stopped. but then i noticed the word ‘like’ and all was happy again.
Phoenix, nothing is wrong with me. It’s just that my best friend is destroying herself. I knew she was struggling with an eating disorder, but I thought she was getting better. Last night, she told me that on Saturday she took laxatives, and Sunday she made herself throw up. I mean, a ton of laxatives. Eight teaspoons one day, six the next. That does a ton of damage to the body. She wouldn’t listen to me, I tried to reach out and help her, but she kind of blew me off. I told her to call me next time she felt like she needed to do something like that, and she acted like she would be able to handle it on her own. I know she can’t.
What really scared me, is that she told me right before she threw up, she looked in the mirror “and it was like my stomach was just hanging out, like I was six months pregnant.” Seeing fat that isn’t there is basically full blown anorexia.
Before, she promised me she would go to counselling. Now she’s going back on that. I’m watching her fall deeper and deeper into a pit. It’s like a bad dream.
I’m living my worst nightmare, seeing my best friend slip into complacency about a disease that is killing her. She won’t listen anymore, she doesn’t seem to care what people tell her. Last night, I was talking to another friend about this, and she quoted a truly terrifying statistic. Only 10% of anorexics recover. The rest die of something eating disorder related. I’m so scared I’m watching her kill herself.
I’m just so tired of this. I’m the only one she really confides in, she trusts me and one other girl. It’s too much pressure. I feel like I’m the only one holding her accountable, and this job is way too big. I can not tell her mom. If I do, my friend will freak out and will stop telling me stuff. If that happens, then she won’t confide in anyone, and this thing will get huge.
It seems like ever time I have a real conversation with her, I find out she’s in deeper than I ever imagined. This is scaring me, really badly.
MG: asking
keeping it inside only makes it worse
I suppose it is possible for a MuseBlogger to read no books. It’s hard to imagine, though.
MG: Being anorexic/bulimic or having a friend who is is scary. Any time you see someone you love slowly destroying themself, that’s really scary. I’d say I sympathised, but I know from experience that it doesn’t help. But I do.
Thanks. I just want to yank her out of where she is, to scream at her until she understands. But that won’t work. And I don’t have a clue what will.
Logging off for a while. So there will be no moderating for a bit — unless Robert pops on. Ciao for now!
MG: this is some advice for you + your friend. and one could call it fairly credible because i was going through the same thing 2 yrs ago
1… your friend is obviously insecure w/ the way she looks. make sure to compliment her on her new clothes, great personality, etc every chance you get. having happiness + a good personality is far more important than being thin.
2… one way to feel better about yourself is to find a sport that you like. maybe you + your friend could find one or you could just help your friend find one. when i started taking gymnastics last year i found that i felt a lot better after a work out on the // bars – it almost burns off anger too. ok so i quit after one season, but it was the thing that helped me get away from anorexia the most.
3… when you have an eating disorder, youll usually end up not eating for a very long time, then get such strong cravings that you end up loading up on junk after starving for maybe 12 hrs. after that, youll feel extremely guilty + not eat for another 12 hrs. to stop this vicious cycle, one needs to find some healthy foods that they like. if their trying to end an eating disorder, having 6 healthy snack type things a day really helps. and always drink a lot of H2O + maybe tea.
3… STEAL YOUR FRIENDS SCALE. tough love but it works.
4… if you start needling someone their eating disorder chances are theyll get really mad + there will be fireworks so you might not want to do that. instead, tell a trusted adult about your friends problem. + drop hints on what you think of her health, but dont get all over her case.
5… when i had that problem, i experienced a lot of bad side effects. a lot of my hair fell out, and i would randomly collapse maybe once or twice a week. just walking someplace or doing house chores made me incredibly dizzy. hopefully thats enough to scare anyone away from making the same mistake.
6… good luck. its great that youre taking such an active role in helping your friend out of this.
MG, that is scary. I can’t say I really understand what you’re going through, because I don’t know anyone with an eating disorder. I have one piece of advice though. (advice comes in pieces, right?) Seeing as how we have a religion in common, praying for her is always a good idea. I’ll pray for her too. Here’s something from 2nd Chronicles when the Israelites are battling, um…. someone. I didn’t read it in context, okay? I just sort of flipped into it. Hope it helps. “For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” skipping ahead past some weird names and stuffs…”Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
Why is drinking a lot of water suggested for almost every disorder known to man? I don’t really see how that would help, but hey I’m no doctor. Keeps things moving along I suppose…
Drinking water works for people with eating disorders because they don’t think it will make them fat, and while they still need to eat, at least they’re getting something from the water. At least, that was my take on it.
Almost 400 posts, and it’s only the 10th. And I thought we wouldn’t get as many posts in February because it’s so short.
Tell an adult you trust. Tell someone. They can help. Support your friend.
I hope she feels better about herself and her body in time. I’ll think of her and you.
We’ve decided to give her an ultimatum, “either you tell your mom in two weeks, or I’m telling for you.” We have to do that. She’s destroying her body at a rapid pace, and every day she becomes more depressed. I look in her eyes, and my friend is gone. She’s turning to stone right before my very eyes. She’s dying, physically and emotionally. If something happened to her, we woud never be able to forgive ourselves. It’s a real possibility that she might not live a whole lot longer. Laxatives and throwing up are terrible for the body, and I think if she gets much more depressed, suicide could really be something to fear. Like one friend said “I don’t care if she hates me for the rest of her life, just as long as she’s got the rest of her life to do it.” So that’s what we’re doing. I’m going to have to be the one to approach her. Now I really want to have it over with. I want to start the ball rolling, and begn getting my friend back.
That’s really really good you’re doing that MG, but you do still need to tell her mom. From the way you described it, she seems pretty far along, and she needs more than just stopping. I really think you should tell her mom as soon as you can.
That’s a good choice, MG. I’ll continue to pray for her and for you. It’s good that you’re taking action, because it doesn’t sound like there are many others who would. Do your parents know about this? They could probably help.
Speaking seriously, as an adult: anorexia/bulimia is a medical problem. You or someone should talk to a medical professional–a doctor, a nurse, a physician’s assistant–as soon as possible. That might be easier than telling your friend’s parents, and it may be the quickest way of getting her the help she needs.
hi im new like that jadestone gurl umm so here i am!
ello leftoversteak!
yes. get help, even if it means she hates you. you could anonymously alert your skool couseler, they take these things seriously. but i think you said you were homeskooled. i would have said something last night, but my lb was watching, and i figured someone else would say something anyway.
hi all! i just woke up, like, a halfhour ago, and it’s snowing!! yay! is it snowing for the gapa too?
MG, do you really want to give her two weeks or do something right now? Obviously it’s troubling you. And wouldn’t you feel better if you told your parents? I keep my friend’s secrets because I want them to keep mine, but this is a secret I don’t think you should keep. Which adult do you trust the most? Who would be most likely to help if you were in trouble? Someone from church? Prayers for both of you.
hello Ebeth!
oh and a correcton- bulimia and anorexia are different eating disorders,robert.
Em (#386), I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. So … no, It’s not snowing here. It just about never does. San Francisco would be so pretty all covered in snow. If I were good at painting I’d paint a picture of it.
hello every body! i like snow…. mwah ha….
I love to read(fantasy, fiction anything! and muse, of course), and maybe MG cold try sending an annonomis letter to the school nurse? then they could tell her friends parents, and you wouldnt feel so guilty.
It’s been snowing here in Washington for a couple of hours, but it’s not sticking yet. The radio says it that will continue all night and we’ll have several inches by morning.
Oh she said she was homeskooled? then an annon. letter to the parrents would work too
I luv snow. its snowing here, in Ill. I live by a lake, and it is frozen but not enough to skate on.
Your comment is awaiting moderation.

lilbro, this was just tooooooo much! So I shortened it — Rosanne
oo i love to read!! im reading about 4 books!!!!(hitchhikers guide included)
Why is wikipedia being so slow?
I’m a transplant from LA. Now I live in a cow town in Illinois, which I detest. It’s just terrible. I hate snow as well, but I had some miso soup and tea and I’m getting over it and watching some
Jeeves and Wooster, with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Frey.
MG-Call her parents when you know she’s not home and tell them . If you think they won’t believe you, get your parents to do it for you. A girl at my school died of anorexia a couple years ago (I didn’t know her) and it was really, really sad because she was very talented. It doesn’t matter if she hates you, she’ll at the very least be alive to do it.
Well, I figure I want to give Rebekah a chance to tell her parents. A deadline for when she has to have told them. I know it’ll seem better for her parents to hear it from her. It wouldn’t be fair to Rebekah to tell on her without giving her a chance to tell. Maybe only a one week time frame. But she needs to have a chance. As far as me and my other friend can figure out, the first step is to get her parents knowing. After that, they can get her the help she needs.
QUEEN J!!!! I ♥ ♥ ♥ SNOW!!!! I’d trade any day! We don’t get any here. Or nothing worth mentioning…*sigh* *sulk* grrr….
It’s snowing here. Large snowflakes, or conglomerates thereof.
Something’s up with the blog. It wouldn’t work until I Googled it and found the page, rather than just picking it out of my bookmarks or even typing it in. What’s going on?
MG- She could just say she’s told her parents, which is what my friend did when she started cutting. If she says she’s told them but nothing seems to be happening, you need to talk to them or some sort of medical professional. I don’t know your friend, and she could be a very trustworthy person, but you can’t afford to take chances.
I had a concert today, and now I have a finger blister from boring pizzicato cello parts. Grrr.
u had trouble with blog too? i couldnt get on it untill 3 today. It said it couldent get to it. Any1 no why?
okay and i resent that Queen J doesnt like Illinois, i live there u no and l ike snow, plus it gets nice and warm in the summer too. My nice happy medium.
Paul Baker (known on the blog as “pb&j,” for you newcomers) thinks our Web host is changing to new server software. I’m thinking of changing to a new Web host, except that that would be sure to cause even worse problems for a day or two, or maybe longer.
oh no more problems? well if itll help in the long run… just tell us if they do decide to change okay?
I like wordpress, for all it’s unreliability. I’ve gotten used to the layout, and by now my name and email appear automatically so i don’t have to type them in. Yay for laziness!
MG, how horrible! I don’t know what to say. Thank God no one I ever knew (and hopefully no one I ever will) has had an eating disorder, so I just simply want to help in some way, and can’t. It’s such an awful feeling.
However, my advice is to call someone–now. from what I have heard about anorexia and similar conditions, it just gets worse as time goes on. Your friend needs help, and badly. And don’t just call a school nurse, either, you should first tell your parents and then call the hospital.
I hope to God your friend gets better.
i posted a rather long post here at five or so, and when i clicked submit i got a wordpress database error message, and i assume that means it didn’t submit because its not up here. the main points of it were that my parents made me vaccum even though the vac was dead, and that i had been campaigning for a new vac ever since my mother expressed wishes to go to disney world and i said that i wanted a new vaccum cleaner and hi-speed internet that worked instead, and that various persons got annoyed that i had hidden the mice to the computer so that nobody could go on because its really hard to get people to get off the computer and then i had to give up a mouse and when i was finished vaccuming sure enough they wouldn’t get off the computer, and the internet had left so i was forced to use aol and the guacamole was dead and someone was going to ask me to walk the dog any second now. seconds after typing this my mother asks me to walk the dog, and i mention that we are babysitting a dog which is a pain because we already have every type of pet but a dog.
that about sums it up. on the bright side, my internet is back!
Cool we used to have a terribly slooooooooooooooooow internet connection and it took 5 min to load 1 page, but then we got a new connection and it is great! thats how i can do this to, otherwise it would take for ever just to get this posted
wordpress error.. yeah thats what i got too hope it doesnt happen again..
I’m walking on sunshine. I just talked to Rebekah, and I think she’s finally made it. She told me that last night she told her parents (yes, I know, she could be lying, and I’ll still keep my eyes open), and they took it well. She apologized to me for pushing me away, and for treating me badly (I didn’t notice a whole lot of this, but apparently it was there). She told me she doesn’t think she’ll want to throw up or take laxatives anymore. She recommitted her life to Christ (for you Christians out there), and she’s admitted that she was angry at God. But what really convinced me, she started crying over the phone. For a long time, she’s been really hard, and has hated expressing emotion. Crying was a major break through. I’m going to watch her, still, and I know this battle isn’t over, but I think she’s made a major turn around.
yaaaaay!!! w00t! Go rebekah!
hope it all comes through.
That’s wonderful MG! I would reccomend talking to her parents somehow, just ot be sure. Though it does sounds like she truly stopped by what you said.
I know all about changing servers…ugh.
Yes! good for her. it must be really hard for her, but im reall glad she managed! Congrats to Rebekah!
HELLO I’M GEORGE ZIMMER, FOUNDER AND CEO OF THE MEN’S WAREHOUSE.

Poor, poor lilbro. So sad.
Poor, poor lilbro. So sad.
Poor, poor lilbro. So sad. Ahh! word press wont let me post stuff! Grrr…. and just when someone got on to! Let me try again..
Whoops. Why did it take so long to post and kick me off three times? Anyone?
YEAH!!! i dont believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i. got. first. place. in. regional. science fair. AUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHH! *dies of shock* i was expecting 3rd or mabye 2nd. then again, i spotted grammar/spellin mistakes (look who’s talking) on the regionals bords 0_0 0_o o_0 0_0 wow. and p***d*** (my skool) got like 5/7 of the state goers… *yayness* i ♥ Mrs. Crumpley… shes AWESOME!!!
Yay! Go lilbro, whoever you are.
I have a question for the GAPA. Yes, shocking, I know.
What happens to objects or light or gravity when they get sucked up into black holes?
Jadestone (#426), sometimes WordPress bogs down. Robert’s thinking about switching hosts. Anyone have any suggestions?
lilbro (#427), that’s great!!!
(#429) No one knows. Its a mystery. Unless, of cource, we DO know and everyone forgot to tell me…which is likely, i might add.
Okay, I’m really starting to get frustrated. The stupid game! I’m trying to put the long danly bit into the fake tea, and I’ve got too many nouns!
George Zimmer, you founded the men’s wearhouse.
ATTENTION ALLL: THIS IS WHAT EVERYTHING MEANS SO DON’T ASK AGAIN IN FACT THE GAPAS SHOULD PROBABLY MAKE THAT HGTTMB OR PEOPLE WILL BE ASKING TILL THE END OF TIME:
GAPA – Great And Powerful Administrator – Rosanne Spector/Robert Coontz
OEAD – (couldn’t remember what this stands for, but while scrolling through last months thread looking for it i am wondering why lucifer ink was throwing soap off the roof on january 1st) – Rosanne Spector/Robert Coontz
MAP – (no idea) – Rosanne Spector/Robert Coontz
PB&J – Paul Baker
WAM – Wonderfully Awesome Musewriter – Nancy Knagas
PAW – Popular Animal Writer – Donna Jackson
pwease – just don’t say it
hpb – hot pink bunnie(s)
Man, we post fast.
That’s great, MG! When you can finally start talking to people about this kind of stuff, you’re on the way to recovery. It can be painful, but I’m sure Rebekah will pull through. (In case you can’t tell, I’m terrible at this sort of inspirational stuff.)
YAAY FOR LIBRO! Awesomeness. Wow, that’s a long word Antidisestablishmetarianism. Wow, that’s a long word.
Wow, that’s a long word.
MG, I’m so glad Rebekah is better. And nice job bringing her round–you are a great friend.
And once more, thank God it didn’t progress further.
OEAD= Our Exalted Administator Dude. Technically, Rosanne isn’t a dude, but “person” didn’t have the right ring to it.
Currently, I am going through a most fascinating series of name changes. *morphmorphmorph*
oh god. am i posting as someone named New York? i must have multiple personality disorder.
but no, really. i’m serious. my entry in the who’s here list says: ‘Em = Emiliana = New York (11/16/05)’ when it should say: ‘Em = Emiliana (12/13/05)’ please double-check this new york person’s e-mail. possibly it is similar to mine. or possibly i have spelled my email wrong. (goes and checks) no, i have spelled it correctly.
I wasn’t throwing soap off the roof Janruary first.
Em (440),
I’ll make the change. Are you sure your first post was December 13? I have it down as December 15.
hmm… i looked for this new york person on all of the novemder threads, but i dinnae find him. where did he post? (whilst i was looking i discovered that it is mathmatically proven that girls are evil, which i find very disconcerting)
yes you were. maybe it was on january second.
Em (443),
New York made one short comment on the “Guy Fawkes Day” thread.
LI,
You mentioned soap on the “Out With the Old, In With the New” thread. I think you were discussing how you spent New Year’s Eve. (You called yourself Ishmael in those days.)
(goes and checks) no, that would be my second post . my first post looks like this (on the dec blizzards thread):
283. Em �|� December 13th, 2005 at 12:27 pm
pwt is a boy. dont insult him.
Nothing I did on New Year’s Eve had to do with soap. I’ll go check it out.
Pwt is a girl!
Oh, shut up, Jusenkyo. Pwt is a boy.
really? i don’t see it. all i see is rrf, pb&j and ebethy. really.
I was joking.
Now, how do I tell the MUD to put the plotter’s long dangly bit into the ATS without using too many nouns?
oh wait, i was looking at nov 11th. ebeth, they caught you museblogging during study hall and you didn’t get expelled? wow.
Em (449),
It was comment 70:
70. New York | November 16th, 2005 at 8:43 pm
I think you guys argue too much
Wow. I’ve been here for a long time, haven’t I?
pwt is getheinian. um… hold on (looks in books thread) Gethenian. *gasp* i forgot to read/post on the books thread!
put bit in ats(whatever ats stands for)
Thanks guys. This is so incredible. Today, I went from my single lowest low to my single highest high. Ever. My friend is back. I heard Rebekah on the phone, not that thing that was taking her over. It was so great.
warm happy feeling. don’t get it that often. just played stars wars jedi acadamy, and was reminded of how terrible i am at video/computer games.
hmmm… i think i’ll get sims. i might be better at that. in fact, im going to name everybody after musebloggers. which admin is up at this time? probably Rosanne. its 1:06 here. i can’t believe parents are letting me stay up this late. oh wait- they’re asleep. ha ha ha.
signing off robert? c’mon, its only 1:10. what were you doing up anyway, working?
AAAAHHHH!!!! THE SNOWAGER IS ASLEEP!!! ITS THE APOCALYPSE!!!
ohgoshlookit! THE HG2MB HAS ARRIVED! yayayayayayay! but you still haven’t updated the adult section of the who’s here!
Hi, Em.
Yep, it’s me. I’ll be at the computer for a little while longer tonight.
Do you ever play Katamari Damacy? I haven’t — I think you need Playstation 2 and I don’t have it. But I looked at its Website and it looks fun.
ah sorry i left, but certain peoples got mad because i was up at two. katamari? is that the one where you roll the stuff into a ball? it looks really fun! but we have game cube. i saw it in one of those gaming magazines we get for no reason. mostly i keep them for the cool graphics. and someday i intend to show them to my manga-obsessed friend.
oh good. lalalala where is evverybody? soccer practice? ohmigod! it snowed a foot last night! i’m so thrilled! it never snows in febuary!
Katamari Damacy is the best game ever. BEST. GAME. EVER.
there is only one good thing about aol which is that it actually loads this thread without a fuss. Where is everybody? c’mon peoples, its already noon! or at least its noon here. quite possibly its not noon somewhere else. has robert finished removeing 1 foot of snow from his car, sidewalk, parking space etc? im bored. im eating toast. im eating choklit. oops, wrong thread. hey, i have an idea: maybe there have been lots of posts, but none of them have been moderated. lalalala its cold outside oh dear i seem to be blathering on. maybe i should get my own blog. i would name it emblog. im not sure what i would do withit though. im probably too lazy to update a blog. and who would read it anyway? nobody. there you go. oh dear, i seem to have eaten the last bit of toast. whatever shall i do?
im making more toast now. maybe ill put some jam on it. we never get sliced bread, because of the soy, so now that we have some, im going to eat it all. mwahahahahahahahahhahaha! hm, what kind of jam do we have? strawberry, mmm yummy strawberry. apricot? yick no! peanut butter! i love peanut butter! not on toast.
People who play Neopets:
If any of you have an account but don’t really play, do you want to give me the neopoints? I’m saving up for a lab map.
Nevermind
um, i just realized that its sunday. i thought t was saturday. maybe it just feels like saturday. yes, i will continue posting nonsense ntil smeone else says something.
hey i here to join the posting of nonsense…
wow how come you guys post so much when i leave? Secret conspiracy…ooooh…dark sunglasses…mwahahahaha
no i didn’t get expelled. nolan’s a bit of a pushover. he brings the book club ice cream cake. ♥
he does sneak up on people sometimes though and freak them out. Scary.
i’d give you neopoints li, except i don’t know your name, and if i went on i’d probably be overcome with guilt over my dying neopet and feed it, which would result in the disappearance of almost all my np.
me tiiiired….
hmm… i could give you my brothers neopoints… nah, i want them.
Why is there no lincoln/darwin b-day thread?
ew, neopets. i stopped playing so long ago. does anyone have a DeviantArt account?
I never feed my neopets. They can’t die, and I don’t battledome. Occasionally I’ll put them in the Lodge.
i never feed mine either. i just got a neohome though, for no good reason. mostly i just put any furniture that i happen to come across in it. i have about 500 neopoints, so i could go to the soup faerie… i guess. i can’t remember where she lives. recently i did a quest for the water faerie, and she painted my neopet any color i wanted. unfortuanately, skeiths don’t look good in much, so i painted him darigan. hmm.. i wonder how much a darigan paintbrush costs?
…
um, why are we talking about neopets? lets talk about veggietales! *starts singing* Veggietaaales, Veggietaaales…
Yeah, I’ve got a DeviantArt . . . not much on it though. It’s [sorry, guys; our policies remain in force. — Admin.]
~Luna
Hellooooo? i am very board. Anyone out there? Talk to me……
If no one answers soon i am going to sing. And NO ONE wants that.
i’ll sing with you!
if you like to talk to tomatos
if a squash can make you smile
if you like too waltz with potatos
up and down the produce islllllle-
Have we got a show for you.
VeggieTaaaales, VeggieT- *is pied*
We had a Veggie Tales thread last year. Tell you what: I’ll reopen it especially for you.
Go annonomus pie thrower! I dont like “Veggie Tales”.
If it is re-opened, i will not go on it.
Go censor your veggietales comments on the thread reserved for that purpose.
Today I did something incredibly stupid. I was taking a test that I ran out of time for and had to do at home, and having a lot of trouble which made no sense as I had spent about four hours studying for it. Then when I was 3/4 of the way through, having done all I could, I looked at the top of the test and realized that, instead of being on chapters six, seven, and eight as I thougt it was, the stupid thing was on chapters five, six, and seven. Luckily it was an open book test, but the book was in Hebrew and I can’t read as fast in Hebrew as I can in English, so it took me a while to finish and I am not sure about two of the answers, b/c of course I couldn’t study chapter 5 as I knew the questions. Grr.
hey, I just realized the ‘whose here’ page says I came in on 11/18/05, AFTER Zyviva. I don’t remember when I started posting, but it was somewhere in August and WAY before Zyviva started posting.
Sorry! I copied it down wrong. You came on board on August 18.
MG: : ) thats great!
bleh… long weekeng living out of my purse, but fun.
and i had this relly old organic peanut butter that had the consistancy of fudge but it was soooooo good.
… and i finally got a chance to shower/ – alright, TMI sorry
randomness
I just actually cleaned my room. *gasp* I’m feeling fine, thank you. I also did my homework for this weekend, and I think I’m going to be OK and not die of stress in 5 years like I thought I would a year ago. (Wait a minute…4 years now! Holy Zarquon singing fish!)
VeggieTales is WAY too “Earnest, good-hearted Christian vegetables moralizing their nutritous way through a wicked, greasy world” for me. Ugh. Wait, the only good-hearted vegetable would be artichokes. I just look at them and think “Mmm, delicious”. Same with those little bunny cartoons. I can be a cynic if I wanna be a cynic.
The school is really pumping up the anti-smoking campaigns. As rebellious and cool as it is to smoke, smoker’s breath makes me want to send those VeggieTales characters back to where they came from, if you know what I mean. So I’m not smoking. Note, however, Joe Strummer’s cigarette-behind-the-ear style in the Clash’s album cover for “Combat Rock”. At least I think that’s Joe Strummer. It doesn’t exactly look a lot like him, but I can identify everyone else. QED.
Uh, wouldn’t putting a cigarette behind your ear set your face on fire? I think Blackbeard put matches in his hair, though, and I don’t think he ever caught on fire. Or maybe he did, and he thought it ruined his pirate image to be on fire so he killed all witnesses or summat.
we dont get the non organic peanut butter. too much soy. (mi bro iz alergik to zoy) instead, we get this discusting oily stuff. but if you dont mix up the oil, the d=stuff at the bottom tastes fine. i have taken to eating spoonfulls of it. yummy.
Woohoo! Rebekah is on the mend! I’m so glad she’s free of that dreaded affliction. Or at least working on it. I’m sure she won’t hate you, MG. Your a very loyal friend. Congratulations, lilbro. I like veggietales. Although it does get a bit too preachy sometimes. It’s like there’s no story outside of the message. I like the ones that beat around the bush better. Okay, moving all veggie-talk over to the appropriate thread. We had some sort of blizzard here pretty much all day. How can you not like snow, queen j.? Snow! Whee!
no skool 2morrow! apparently [let’s call it “Kokonino” –Admin.] county has lotsa extra snow days.
i had lotsa snow.
i tried cross country skiing for half an hour, and im totally useless at it. snowboarding all the way!
all the snow will turn toicky brown slop by tomaoorow and i wont hav a snow day. i guarentee it.
i like cross country skiing.
not that i can do any here…*muttergrumblescowl*
NO SNOW! At all! The ground is squishy! It’s not even hard!! It’s supposed to be rock solid by now. And covered with snow.
Stupid weather of OOHI…
i quoth the rules: “All postings are screened beforehand and may contain only minimal information about the sender: at most first name, last initial, age, city, and state or country. ”
maybe you better edit them.
Oops! Thanks for pointing that out. In fact, the blog follows the same rules as the Q&A column: no geographic specifications smaller than states. I’ve made the change.
ok fine then. i live in kokoninno county, virginia. we got lotsa snow.
SNOW SNOW! YEAH FOR SNOW!
um, sorry about that. mr admin, did you get lotsa snow?
Nobody is more powerful than Igotatissue!
yes I am back from my vacation and now I shall throw all you into the dungeons!
I just put in some pink curtains in the dungeon! I think it adds to the horror of it.
we should open a stupid sensless smiley story blog!
if you don’t I will cry!
Now!
or I will send Igotatissue to arrest you and he will throw you into the dungeon with pink curtains!
I watched King Kong today. I cried when he died. I did. It was sad.
Sheep (498-499),
Rebekah’s on the mend, but I feel God telling me that there’s something else I need to do. Maybe you don’t believe in that, but another friend felt the same thing. I think He wants us to get Rebekah into counselling. I think He’s warning us, that if we don’t do something more, she’s going to slip back in worse than ever. So I’m going to talk to Rebekah, and tell her what I’m feeling about this, and see if that’ll make her get help. I think she’s really good now, but there’s another step we’re all supposed to take.
Okay, but remember that Rebekahs probably in a very fragle stat at the moment, so be cafeful. She might take councling the wrong way, buts its important. Glad shes doing better, though.
I found the link to the graphic version of HHGttGA!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/game_andrew.shtml
[O.K., we’re permitting this link. Have fun! –Admin.]
Typical. I just found the link about a day before Lusifer posted it. Bleh.
I built an improbability drive! It keeps sending me to the Bugblatter beast, and I can’t get past it. And I THEORETICALLY found out how to get past the screening door, but I can’t figure out how to phrase it. I want to show him (spoiler alert)
how I have no tea, b/c I looked up “intelligence” in the guide and it described it as being able to process contradictory situations, like having and not having a stomachache at the same time and having the hole without the doughnut. I thought having no tea as a tangible object would qualify, but “show/give/throw/whatever no tea at/to door” does not work. If anyone figures this puzzle out I would be grateful.
I can help you get past the bugblatter beast. If you don’t want to know, don’t read on.
Spoiler alert
Tell the beast your name, which is Arthur. Then run east out of the liar. You pick up a rock, and consult the guide about the beast. You should find out that the Beast is amazingly stupid, and thinks that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you. So cover your head with the towel. that gives you a few minutes. Carve your name on the memorial. The beast will think it must have eaten you already, and go to sleep. Go back into the liar, then go sw.
I’ve gone to the Bugblatter Beast, been Ford, been Trillion, been Zaphod, been in the War Room, but not all in the same game. I keep messing up and having to start over.
MontgomeryGurl, it’s great that your friend has decided to try to put her eating disorder behind her. But I think you’re right that that’s a very hard thing to do without help from other people.
If she’s already spoken to her parents, maybe you should speak to them too and see whether they’re taking any practical steps, such as getting her into counselling. Are there other adults you can talk to as well? Your own parents, your doctor, someone from your church?
Rebekah is going through something very serious–and so are you, as we’ve seen by how upset you’ve been on this thread. It could help you to talk about it with someone who has the resources to help.
ello polly shulman, did yew rite some book on some other thread? enthusiasm? oh yes, i remember that. go me.
Yup, that’s me. Go you!
Phoenix, have you tried dropping no tea? I already have tea, so it’s too late for me, but I want to see if anything happens.
Wait. Do it after you get back from the War Room, when you’ve taken your common sense.
try saying: i have no tea
i am so incredibly bored now that i might just go neomail robert and ask him if he wants some cheese over and over again. except thaty my username is so pathetically silly that i am embarassed to let anyone know what it is.
I just tried that. It can’t process the word “have.”
I’ve been struck by a fit of domesticity this weekend. I just made some toffee.
~Luna
I thought we’d agreed (all right, grudgingly, fine) to move the HG2G RPG over to the Douglas Adams thread?
What’s the thread with Polly Shulman’s book on it?
Oh, sorry. I’ll go complain that I blew up my head over there. This is the random thread. Right.
For Purim, which is a very happy Jewish holiday that kids dress up for, Emily and I are going to dress up as Spy vs. Spy. I’ll be the black spy, she’ll be the white spy.
THIS THREAD HAD SO MANY POSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I JUST MADE ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS BEEN SNOWING FOR 2 DAYS STRAIGHT NOW + ITS GOING TO KEEP SNOWING ALL WEEK SO WE MIGHT HAVE A SNOW DAY ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!
www00000000000ooooooooooooo00000000000000oooooo000000000oooooooot!!!
ppls is anyone else a peanut butter fanatic??? if so + we asked xtra nicely they might make a peanuts/pb thread…. plz?
Oooh, Spy vs. Spy. That’s a froody idea. Skiddy dense, in fact.
I’m not a big peanut butter person. Cloudberry, lingonberry, currant, and Nutella I can rock with, but peanut butter I’m not so into. Maybe a “Spreads” thread?
We get Friday off. I hate snow, I hate cold, and we have both right now. There’s also a Spanish midterm tomorrow. I’m going to have to work REALLY hard…
I’m going to dress up in my usual head-to-toe black tomorrow and serenade everyone with Tom Lehrer’s “Masochism Tango”. Ah, joy. I know a particularly dishy girl in my advisory is sprinkling everyone with powdered sugar (ugh! Waste of sugar.), and some of my classmates are getting valentines. I hate St. Valentine’s Day.
Peanut butter’s okay, I guess. But what would you say about it on a whole thread devoted to PB? Maybe I don’t want to know. Isn’t a chocolate thread enough? MG: Go with God. You’ll botch the whole job if you don’t.
Ooooh! Maschoism Tango. That’s a good one. I like the one, I forget what it’s called, where he sings about sitting with his wife’s hand in his, and wishing he hadn’t killed her, so there would be a body attached to the hand.
Ooo! Nutella. And apple butter. *drools* Yeah a spreads thread would just about do it. What about condaments (however it’s spelled) in general, though? ‘Cause grilled cheese and ketchup is tops.
I believe that title is “I Hold Your Hand In Mine.”
521, 523- “I Hold Your Hand In Mine” is correct. (“Of all the songs I’ve ever sung, that is the one I’ve had the most requests not to.”-Revisited) “Masochism Tango”, a truly insurgent 60s satirical gem always reminds me of “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Not quite the same mood, but startlingly similar, don’t you think? I also sang “Lobachevsky” in school the other day. That’s the one imitating Danny Kaye that goes “Plagiarize, let no one else’s work evade your eyes, remember why the good lord made your eyes, so don’t shade your eyes, but plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize” and so forth. You should have SEEN my teacher’s face.
I went with God. I talked to her. She seemed to be pretty receptive. She told me that for the last two days, she’s really been shutting herself off to everyone. She could feel herself getting harder, more closed. She told me the reason, but it’s pretty complicated. Anyway, she was starting to realize that it wasn’t just “that easy”. She was starting to see that there was a long road ahead of her. She agreed to pray about counselling. I told her “Rebekah, Natalie (another girl Rebekah’s close to) and I can help you, and talk to you, but in the end we aren’t really qualified to be your counsellors. You need someone who’s trained to find exactly what you’re doing wrong, and tell you how to fix them.” “Well, Amanda, can we try doing just you and Natalie until NCFCA nationals (speech league we compete in, nationals are in June)?” “Rebekah, I know you can fall back into this very quickly. I’m really not willing to risk it for so long a period of time.” “Okay, after the Baton Rouge tournament, then (that’s in a week in a half). If, after that, I’m not doing really good, I’ll get help. I mean that, Amanda. If I have any bad thoughts, fall back at all, I’ll go.” I was really glad she was so receptive. I think she realized that she could fall very easily, and she needed a way to ensure her own safety. She didn’t seem at all upset about what I was telling her, and she agreed to talk to her mom about what I was feeling, and she told me they would all pray about it. I’m pretty relieved.
MontgomeryGurl, I patently refuse to be anything but a maladjusted, nerdy atheist. Sorry.
Good luck Rebekah! We’re rooting for you!
Well, I know that. I guess you could just substitute “think about” for “pray about”. I would’ve left out the references to God, because I know a lot of people on here don’t believe that, but I just couldn’t tell the story without God. The whole feeling seemed to be from Him, and I guess that for me He’s so much a part of everything, I can’t leave Him out. Plus I figured the Christians on here would appreciate it.
Anyway. She’s got a real chance now. Counselling…. it could do her a world of good. I suggested family counselling (she’s got a lot of issues with and in her family) and she found the idea interesting. I don’t think it’d ever occurred to her before, and she was trying to think it through. But maybe they’ll go. I hope so. Rebekah takes things to heart that her family doesn’t mean that way, and with a sister who seriously needs anger management therapy, they need someone unbiased and objective help them figure out how to deal with this stuff, and make Rebekah feel accepted and safe at home.
Okay, I need to get back to my normal routine and talk about a few completely unimportant, trivial and random things. A good friend involved in the whole Rebekah thing told me that I’ve been letting my happiness get too tied to Rebekah, and I’ve let her situation consume me, and in the end it was just going to get me hurt. So I’m going to write about something else.
Today I had a class on Shakespeare. Yes, I am homeschooled, but someone agreed to teach this for the high schoolers in our homeschool group. He’s the same guy who taught the Milton thing. Kind of funny, but apparently I was one of the only people in that class who actually got what Milton was saying, and who understood the explanation Dr. Potts gave us. Kind of freaked me out, I didn’t know my friends were that clueless. I mean, I thought Dr. Potts did a real good job explaning what all the symbolism was, and junk like that.
I’ve got globs of friends now. Speech and debate. The internet. It’s all miraculous if you’re looking for cool people. I’ve got more close friends now than I had acquaintances a few years ago. I hope a few of them will call me tonight, since AIM is gone now *is sad*. Yes, AIM is gone. Our computer was acting up, and we had to shut it down and completely reboot everything and reinstall everything, and then the AIM icon was missing. So I need to figure out how to get it back on, and redownload it, but only after I’m sure the computer is fine. So. I don’t have that anymore.
Refuah sh’lema to Rebekah!
(that means, essentially, have a quick and whole recovery.)
It’s a good idea to get her to a counsler, to help her heal and stave off any other possible issues or relapses.
I hate Valentine’s Day. Mostly b/c a lot of people don’t realize that it is a Paegan festival celebrating the fertility of birds. Also b/c I hate all that pink.
However, I might have a good time watching people make fools of themselves
Hey, I recently got labeled as a ‘geek’ and ‘not normal’ because in class the other day, I overhear someone saying ‘Homer’. So I looked up and began to talk about the Iliad and the Odessy and how much I liked them, and how glad I was that someone other than me had read them in the class. So the people talking look up and give me the eyeball, like I am crazy, and ask me what on earth I am babbling about. So I give THEM the eyeball, and begin to say things like “uh…Homer? You know…grey-eyed Athene…Troy…Andromeda…” because I havent realized that they are talking about Homer SImpson. I am weirded out that what first comes to their minds upon hearing the word “Homer” is Homer Simpson; they are horrified to think that I think of the Greek poet Homer. So they tell me I am abnormal. I think that is just sad.
I don’t think you’re not normal, just because you tihnk of Homer before Homer Simpson. I think of Homer Simpson first, and everyone knows I’m abnormal. Calling me normal is an insult to normal people everywhere.
Although, personally, I believe normal is a myth, like triangles and North Dakota.
I’m heading home in a few minutes and Robert’s not online right now. That means we won’t be moderating for a bit. It’s a GAPA gap. Robert will be back in an hour or two, I bet.
You could always make me Interim GAPA.
I’ve never read Homer, but when someone says Homer, the first thing to pop into my head is definitely not Homer Simpson.
My cousin read Homer the other year. She read me a few passages. It was completely revolting. I’ve decided to remain an uncultured Philistine (In this context, Philistine is someone who does not appreciate great art, including literature. I am not referring to the ancient people who terrorized Israel. I promise there are two definitions).
I’m glad that Rebekah is recovering! I think that seeing a counsler is a good idea since they can give her profesional help that you and your friend can’t. It is important to talk to her about how she feels. I hope she continues to improve and feel better about herself!
I would think about Homer the writer not Homer Simpson also.
wah! i vant 26 in of snow… where was that anyways? i just heard mom say ’20 in of snow’… but alas, i must settle for only a ft. O_O|0_0|0_o|o_o|o_0|0_0|O_O &question; i dont kno if dats right. o vell

er….
Me too. Homer the writer. Or the dog. Erm, never mind.
bleh… i had to read the odyssey last year….ooh, but the whirlpool/ sea monster part was kinda exciting
i did say i was a maniac…
The Odyssey has been my favorite story ever since I was seven. Odysseus is such a survivor! Every time he washes ashore, the first thing he does is make up a new lie–just like Huckleberry Finn and Lyra Belaqua. When he finally makes it back to Ithaca and Athena meets him in disguise, he lies to her, and she shakes her head and smiles fondly and says, “Man, you are really something. You lie just like a god.” You can tell that he’s her favorite mortal, just as old Argos is his favorite dog.
the odyssey ROCKS!!! Me loves! Go Phoenix! Show those brainwashed simpsonites!!!
LATE DAY TODAY!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!
I’d think of Homer the writer also. I can’t stand The Simpsons. I mean, it’s mildly funny on occasion, but it just so revolting! Surely after thousands of years of practice we can find something better to laugh at than a drunken, idiotic father telling his son he’ll see him in hell. Yich. Being un-normal is nothing to be ashamed of! Weirdos unite! Mmmm….Weird-Os And they may help prevent heart disease, too.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn’t expecting them. It was like the Spanish Inquisition. Quite a bit like the Spanish Inquisition, now that I think about it.
Don’t worry–they’ll be back.
Okay, I forgive you, because I just got 13,000 random neopoints from who knows where, and I’m now going to have a good time wasting them.
BOO again!
As the Muse of good behavior and politesse (that’s French), let me suggest, Em, that you propose a time–or times–for a Muse visit, and the Muses will see they can do. Be sure to include the time zone with the time!
mmmm, 4:56 Russian time zone.
just kidding. about 9:00 am eastern time.
oh, i don’t care, unless you only appear after midnight or something, that would stink. im 1 hr after mb time. i just thought you were never coming back.
yeah, boo to you too.
*gasp* the lottery! i won the lottery! that would explain all the extra neopoints.
ah, i left, but then i thought of more things to say
koko, i will raise u to 8th on my list if you pie my english teacher. i cannot give you his name for fear of being found out, so you’ll just have to use your intellignet air thingy.
pwt, you’re still my favourite muse (pie me koko, i dare you) but if you do next weeks grammer homework for me i’ll reconsider.
AEIOU, would you happen to know any better web hosts? because this one’s starting to annoy me!
can someone please confirm my pwt-is-a-gethenian theory? ayone?
ok, now i has to frolick in the snow.
Such insouciance. I was more excited when they talked to me.
after din-din’s nice. But not too late cuz i’m an hour ahead of MB time.
Where is Bo??? Boooooo…we call to you with menny mooooos and offers of chances for factoidness and stuff.
You were online then though…maybe we’re (/em) expressing our anger and disappointment by taking it out on the poor muses. Maybe we (/em) should go to Mimi for counseling!
lol jk em.
TKOPAOILCVNMOPIOAJISD;LK,M N.
Bo apologizes. She doesn’t type very well with those hoofs.
Oh yes and i got recommended for ap, honors, and journalism! Yay! So i get the same schedule i wanted, which was ap us history, honors english 10, journalism, algebra 2, bio, band, and latin 2. And a semester of study hall.
We also had really short classes today, cuz late day, and then end of day homeroom to turn in recommendations, and then half the class was spent getting recommendations, so we really didn’t do much of anything today. aaah…i love days like that.
Well yeah i shall stop now seeing as this is my third post in a row…
YAY IT’S BO!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
Wait how does crraw type with wings?
ok, excitment comming up:
YES W00T! MUSES WELCOME MUSES YOU ROCK I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU’RE MY HEROS I THINK YOUR SO COOL PIE MY ENGLISH TEACHER!!!!!
there you go. but really, how much of it do you want?
Have I been abandoned? Am I alone in the word??
NOOOOO!!!!
where’d everybody go?
where’s pwt?
Probably somewhere else. Muses are too busy to spend much time in one spot. I suspect last night was the exception–and even then, they weren’t around that long.
ack! im here! im here! and i wont stop maskerading as pwt until he talks to me!
hey bo –
about 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens each year
who knew?
Choke to death. On ballpoint pens. You have got to be kidding.
Ballpoint pens?!?!?!?!
Wow…
How would you choke to death on a ballpoint pen? How would that work? I have a bad habit of putting pens in my mouth when I’m thinking. Expressly for Bo, my favorite factoids:
-Bronwell Bronte, brother of Charlotte and Emily, died standing up leaning against a mantelpiece just to show it could be done.
-Baby sloths are so clumsy they sometimes grab their own arms and legs instead of tree trunks.
-There are 32 bones in a pig’s foot.
-All the Beatles were 5″11′ in height except for Ringo, who was shorter. The facts aren’t in on the Rutles yet.
On that note, on to other news. I finally memorized “The Walrus and the Carpenter” by Lewis Carroll, 18 6-line stanzas, or 108 lines. I also stubbed my big toe on the floor (don’t laugh! It hurt) and sang “Masochism Tango” no less than nine times. I also introduced myself to a substitute, who sang the Dire Straits song “Romeo and Juliet” from the fabulous
album “Making Movies”. I love that album, even though David Knopfler left in the middle of recording, which was sad.
#566-Bo, presumably.
I hate Valentine’s day. Today I wore a Godzilla shirt, a couple of Band-Aids, a very pretty leather and chain bracelet, socks with holes in them, and a sullen expression. I consider myself to be in the spirit of the holiday because my blood is red and I’m bleeding. And it comes from my heart.
Can we please have the Muses visit after skool for everybody except any Alaska/Hawaiians? (Are there any?) That would be about 3:30 Pacific time, 6:30 Eastern time, 4:30 Mountain time, and 5:30 Central/MuseBlog time.
When I think of Homer, I think of A-C’s brother, who is named Homer and looks like Mr. Simpson, too.
Hullo, Bo. You are my favorite Muse, no offense to the others.
Kokopelli, if you are there, I hope you like gravy.
Bo, did you know you that if you fill a swimming pool with custard, you can actually walk on the surface of it? It starts to suck your hooves in, though, like quick sand, so I wouldn’t do it for long.
There is one thing I like about Valentine’s Day: The candy.
Curses. I missed the muses. Come back soon, guys! Ah yes, Bo. She’s one of my favorites. I like Feather, Chad, and Bo the best. Well, I like Urania too. Choking on a ballpoint pen? I’m skeptical. Maybe if you were holding your pen upright on your desk and suddenly, you fell asleep, causing your head to fall downward and forcing the pen down your throat. That way, if you were really tired, by the time you figured out what was happening, you’d be dead. But still, how likely is that?
Yummy choklity luuuuuuuuve…. ♥♥♥♥
Where’s Urania?
I’m doing me. I’m doing my life. I like pickles. That mosquito is a hit man for the mob. How do I know this? I have connections. The world spins backwards. We’re all slowly shifting to the side of the sun. That’s all I got.
hello muses and everybody and also bye!!
Maybe they swallowed the ballpoint pens to make an interseting statistic for us to talk about.
That is so hard to belive! (about the ballpoint pens)
That is so cool that the REAL Muses drop bye some times. I think i like Aeiou.
Bye!
sorry that from the real to the end of my post is bold!
ive forgotten alll the html i knew!
oh yes, im new
I like Aeiou too. I try to be organized like her. She’s inspiring.
yeah, especilly when my room is messy!
hello heather.
mideval scotland rocks.
we’re so happy that the muses are here too!
the only way we would be happier is if WAM was here
but you can’r have everything, i guess.
How do you post pictures like OEAD Robert did on Meet the Muses? (The bunnies I copy/pasted. Did they show up?)
https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=184
MuseBlog » MEET THE MUSES
Nooooo! I so wanted bunnies in my post, too! All right, OEADs. Spill the beans. Prease?
no, you cant post pictures. its a special administrator power.
if you want pictures in your post, you must ask the GAPAs.
like so:
(testing)
*waves hand airily*
Oh dear gapa, if you would be so kind, i wish to have a giant lollipop in my post.
WAM/Naka was here on the olympics thread a few days ago…
i copied/pasted the hpbs too, but they didn’t show up, but then they did. I think the GAPA just added them in with their special GAPA powers. (ooooh…aaaah…amazing!)
Organization is my worst nightmare. The only way i can keep track of things is if it’s not organized. Otherwise i don’t remember what folder or whatever it’s in anyway.
Chronological trappers rock. Yes yes.
It drives teachers mad too. Wheeeee
Velcome, Heather. Medieval Scotland is awesome. I ♥ woad.
ah well. it works in theory.
can’t u do pics w/ this? and then the url, and then
Let’s test…
http://www.geocities.com/sotto-voce/LJpenguinbase.jpg
tis the penguin!
from dom-land caribou.
awesome site…
note the absence of a link GAPA…
Ok here goes…
NOOOO!!! It linked instead!!! WHY? WHY? WHY???
now it’ll be deleted…*sniff*
Okay, OEADs, would you prease include the bunnies in this post with your special OEAD powers?
cute penguin!
I just visited the HG2MB. The new one that used to be the hints page. ‘Tis beautiful, except for two evil little minor quibbles.
1. Where are the words “Don’t Panic” printed in large friendly letters?
2. If you refer yourself to the LOTR issue and the First Page on Ble, you will find that Nancy Kangas’s name is Nak, not Naka.
oh dear. is prease the new magic word?
i tell you what. i give you virtual fizzymeboppets if you give me giant lollipop. okay?
Penguin? What penguin? I see no penguin.
Thank you for the hpbs. They add a bit of colour and spice to the thread.
oh dear. who is Nancy Knagas?
click on the link.
lollipop? prease?
If the HPBs want to get on the MuseBlog, there’s no stopping them.
okay, that does it. give me a sec…
LAAH!
grrr nevermind. hey rosanne, you can find some decent lollipops with google.
*gasp* SPAM!
USE GOOGLE! ITS GREAT! IT HELPS YOU FIND GIANT LOLLIPOP PICTURES[This goes on -Admin]
no really, you spelled kangas knagas in the hg2mb. and rrf is rite about nak and dont panic.
Oh my. You’re right about that. A typo. Oops. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll tell Robert. He has the typo fixing powers for the HG2MB.
About posting a giant lollipop, here’s the thing: I’d rather not post a link to a random outside Web-site that I know nothing about other than that it has a great lollipop image on it. There are some LOVELY lollipops out there, though.
The preferred route for getting images on the blog is to upload the actual image files to the blog’s host. Uploading to the blog host is one of Robert’s special GAPA powers. If he’s in the mood, he just might do it. No telling, though. He seems pretty wiped out after his encounter with the Muses last night.
guys…omg…we played swingin shepherd blues in jazz band. Aaaah the memories…(the dear old jazzy jazzy band band in MI took that to a clinic thingy…moi got the solo…dan r. got the other one…yes memories, memories…)
wheeeee…
Can people make new threads?
If you can, I want to make one exclusivly for Redwall and Tamora Pierce book fans.
Be happy. I’m happy. Sort of.
Man, I have nothing to talk about. Grrrrrrrrrr. All I’ve been doing is hanging around and out with friends. The miracle of the telephone. There are some pretty interesting things that are said on there, but you kind of have to know the people involved. If you know the people and their personalities, we tell some hilarious stories.
Let’s see….. My friend Lacy and I have a running inside joke. Okay, you remember that speech conference I went to a few weeks ago? Where I was gone for a really long time? Well, I went down there with Rebekah and Lacy. We were caravanning with another lady and her completely creepy and annoying son, Nathaniel. We stopped for lunch, and all us teenagers sat at a table together. Rebekah and Nathaniel were on one side of it, me and Lacy on the other. Well, Rebekah was showing us the ring she got for Christmas, and as a joke I said “so, who’s the lucky guy?” Nathaniel, in a completely characteristic move, goes “I am!!!!!!” and laughs hysterically. Rebekah turned bright red, and started laughing pretty nervously. Lacy and I just gave a rather horrified look, and laughed at the sheer cluelessness Nathaniel had just exhibited. Trying to make sure we all heard him, he said “I am” again, only louder. We still joke about that, saying when it fits into the conversation, “I am” and then laughing the way Nathaniel did. Anyway, that’s what us poor deprived homeschoolers do when we get around other kids.
I have to clean up my room. And work on speeches.
can u do links to other threads??
if so…
ooh i hope that works…
[It didn’t the way you wrote it, but I’ve fixed it. –Admin.]
Hey i finished my hw people! Go me!
I’m taking ap us history next year!!! Yes i know i already said that like twice already but i’m excited!!! wheeee!!! w00t! Go history geeks!!!
MG-That’s pretty much what us skool kids do, except more of it (seeing as there are more people around doing stupid things) lol.
I suppose the jokes don’t run as long though…
the museblog should write a book. We have so much material on homeskool vs. skool…
Ok well i’m just sort of hanging around doing nothing at all…erm…*pies whoever happens to be on at the moment* Yeah. Fun times. Ok leaving now…
Sorry about adding the extra syllable to Nancy’s Ble name. I couldn’t check the issue, because I’ve given all of mine away. I really think that’s the best Muse ever.
Now, somebody wanted a lollipop…
You should put the a in parentheses cuz A-we’ve been saying it like that and people might get confuzzled if they look on old posts and B-cuz it actually sounds good with the a *gasp* oh shock and horror! No, i think it sounds cool as Naka. (no offense to nakawam’s Nak (after all, she invented the language) :D) Yay double parentheses. i feel special. Go me.
Yeah, Ebeth, I guess you’re right. Lacy and I have a ton of inside jokes. One of us can just go “it’s true”, “fair maiden”, “gay wannabe”, or “podium dancer” and the other one will start laughing really, really hard. They’re all long, but funny, stories. I’ve only been good friends with Lacy for about two months. Wow, we could end up with several hundred jokes like that by the end of our relationship, at the rate we’re going.
That lollipop is really rocking. It’s awesome.
Hey! The muses were HERE?! Man! Im only being alowed on here once a day, unfortunatly. KOKO! are u still out there? Ohhh… Please come back. Can all of you come on around 3:30 (central) tomarrow? that’s probably when ill be on from now on…Sigh.
PS can i have a lolipop too?
bleh!!! valentines day makes me sick, even w/o eating 5 lbs of candy! i finally got a chance to make my super special mix cd of screwed up love songs. i have a strange liking for this type of song specifically. it seems like 98% of music these days is about love, so why not try to make it interesting? i named the mix “love got dropped on its head”
i know im strange whats it to you anyway, eh?
I know, I hate sappy love songs! Barenaked Ladies has a song about a window washer, a guy who breaks into his old apartment and critisizes the decor, and someone who keeps gettin anonymous postcards with gorillas on them.
I saw The Diary of Anne Frank yesterday.
bnl rocks
i still have 2/3 of a large choklit bar that need eating… yummmmm…
zat’s one reason i like dark choklit is cuz it doesn’t melt in an hour…
well i’s going to skool now. Facing the horrors and all…
Being a homeskooler, and having mostly homeskooled friends, there’s lots of time for weird inside jokes. Here’s one I’m willing to let you in on that should be at least understandable to one who was not present at the Time of Stupidity. Okay, so my friend and I were at this festival thing at a historic place in our town and we were stringing slices of apple on to a string to be dried. When we were almost finished, I remarked rather carelessly that they looked like spines. My freind thought so also and we started joking about how spines are only ripe in the fall and we had to dry them so we wouldn’t starve in the winter months, being spine eating creatures. Eventually that escalated to the mock threat, “I will pull out your spine and dry it for the cold winter months!!!!” Properly said in a diabolical voice and often followed by MWA ha ha! So we routinly threaten to harvest each other’s spines. Of course, anyone who heard us would think we were total sickos. If I ever say anything like that, don’t be too weirded out.
Here’s a possibly interesting fact: one of the fonts available on WordPad is Trebuchet MS. Also, one of the languages avaiable on the Google search costomizer is ‘Elmer Fudd’. Take that, wabbit!
*gasp* lollipop!lollipop!
i am reading the secret garden again.
actually, i borrowed it from the lost and found.
ah, the lost and found.
wonderful place.
they have running out of time there.
and ruby holler.
y’know what? last year i was looking all aver the place for ruby holler, and i thought it was very annooying that the lost and found had it, but none of the libraries did.
turns out it was in the childrens section.
there’s this guy at my skool who reads muse, and i want to mention to him that he should come on the blog, but im too embarrassed.
kind of silly, isn’t it?
I’m booored…
I know! Let’s play the Word Association Game! That’s the game where you come up with a word, and then somebody else has to come up with another word related to that, etc etc etc. Once A-C and I started a game with “peony” and ended with “scholarship.” Ah, good times, good times.
Example:
Starter- Muse
2) Muse:awesome
3) awesome:cool
4) cool:icy
5) icy:winter
6)winter:Olympics
7) Olympics: Greece
And on and on… So who wants to play? I’ll start us off.
The word is…SHINY
Don’t be embarrassed! Turn this into this :mrgreen:! It’s easy! All you need to do is buy one Giant Kokopelli Costume (R) ($2046.99,) walk up to your fellow Muser, and give him a scrap of Psychedelic Paper (R) ($34,812.64) with the URL of the blog a-printed on it.
Bye-byeBUY BUY BUY!
(#621) No. Not silly. Normal. (#608) I love reading Tamora Pierce and the Redwal books. They r really good, any1 who hasnt read them should do so right away. (#607) Ebeth, what instrumant do you play? me plays flute.
i have ruby holler, walk 2 moons, + chasing redbird. i think my favouties chasing redbird. oh has anyone read the book Anne Frank and Me? i know it sounds really cheesy but its actually a young adult book. its about a 21st century girl in her sophmore year. she goes on a skool trip to the museum where they hav a holocaust exhibit, and theres a riot (wont reveal any more about that) + she ends up getting knocked out…
…ok nows when the book got better. she wakes up + finds that shes a jewish girl in france during WWII, and shes apparently been living there her entire life. her memories of france return…. >skipping a lot
Shiny:foil-wraped Choklit/Chocolate
i play trumpet. wheee.
we get to find out chairs tomorrow. i’m probably playing 2nd or 3rd part. we have really good seniors.
The flutes don’t though-sarah fedner is first chair flute. And she’s a freshman. Yes, she’s really good. But it’s still kind of sad that they don’t have any upperclassmen better than her seeing as they’ve got a good 2, 3 year start on her.
But i suppose that’s fedner for you too. lol. she’s cool.
#621-Go ahead. why not? I mean really, if it’s somebody you know, then no reason to feel embarrassed, and if it’s somebody you don’t know, well if he gives you icy stare or whatnot just ignore him for the rest of your life.
And anyway, he’s a muser! I know that’s not really a good judge of character, but it has to count for something…i mean if he’s really interested in it, not if his parents get it for him…
Me loves the secret garden. Except the first version of that i read was an evil abridged. *hisssss* but then i found out and read the real thing and liked.
Lolllllllllllllllipop…

most of the running jokes my friends have are rather sick, and their conversations are even worse.
they’re all homosexual, or autosexual, or heterosexual pretending to be homosexual.
i think lunch is probably the most educating subject.
my new atl is full of weird girls.
they were having sick coversations
something like ‘well so-n-so was having sex with this girl and…’
and i was sitting in the corner reading the long dark tea-time of the soul.
which for some strange reason was in the skool library.
obviously the person who put it there had never read it, because it had nasty swearing in it.
when i read books or watch television i always feel as though i live a sheltered life. (also when i watch tv i feel like a nerd, and when i read i feel like a weakling)
but then i go to skool, and i feel as though my life could probably be a lot more sheltered.
*at this point, all of the homeskoolers decid that they would eat their socks before going back to public skool*
ah sorry peoples.
ok heres how immature i was 2 years ago…
so i had a little crush on this guy, and his initials were AF. for some reason, i decided to have a code name for him – maybe so he wouldnt overhear me talking about him – and my friend (who doesnt even live in the same city) thought that i needed a few back up code names. guess you could call it an inside joke. here all all the names we thought up:
animal farm
anarchy fries
adolf fitler
ALF (his middle initial was L)
anonymous fruitcake
armadillo fruitloop
atypical freshman
I personally like the anonymous fruitcake one.
I live in a school full of sheltered people. Let’s just not go there. OK? Good.
I have decided that my favorite “Juliette” song is “Romeo and Juliet” by Dire Straits. It’s just a good song. As long as people don’t recite sonnets or make bad jokes, I’m OK.
choklit=cheese
(im perhaps the only person you will meet that associates choklit with cheese, because they are the first 2 things on my list of favourite foods)
armadillo fruitloop.
well i would, but i just feel stupid talking about it at skool. i also feel terribly immature around other people, and worry too much about what they think of me, and then talk too much and become annoying, an then get low self esteem and retreat into my head where all the people like me, or at least have some vague respect for me. and then i go and tell my sob-story to random peoples on the internet hoping to elicit sympathy. ha ha ha no, instead i go on the internet where i am not uncool and generally ignored.
Hooray!! Someone’s here!!

You all want to know the story behind that one, dont you? Well, my friend, Diana (GAPA please dont edit the name the story doesnt make sense otherwise), love chese. And sometimes we call Diana “Di”. Well. one day i called her that and aomeone thought tha i was telling her to “die”, and there was a lot of confusion over that one, yeah.
Oh, and kokopelli 13, im here. ive been here. dont i count?

Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!
And why can I not repeat myself? Stupid WordPress.
FUN: Staying up reading pride+prejudice with half a bar of choklit and a laffy taffy!!!
Which is totally what i’m gonna do tonight. Oh yeah. Good times…
If you want a really good Google language, try bork, bork, bork!
My friend and I launched an anonymous e-mail account the other day. We’ve decided to write long, mushy, fervent declarations of love to random guys we know, and send it through that account, and then have fun messing with their heads. We figured we could get some other girls in on it, and make them really wonder who it was that sent it. Of course, we have to be careful, because some guys we know would, upon getting a note that said something along the lines of “I love you passionately, I can not have you, never forget I will always love you and hold you dearly to my heart”, make up their mind never to leave the house again. But it could be very funny.
Hmmm…
Life is really strange. Like you didn’t already know that.
Hmm… an intresting idea…
647-Pentatonikk (RRF), life is like a grapefruit. Life, don’t talk to me about life. Though you knew that already.
MontgomeryGurl, you have an exciting life. Then again, you live in Alabama. That’s worse than the Gallbladder! I’m not trading places with you.
ooh that’s a good one!!! wish i thought of that…
harriet and i plagued our realtors when we were both moving (me out of state, her down the street. lol) we only sent like 2 emails though. then we got bored and she took over the account since she only had a family address before.
but urs is better.
i finished all my hw…i feel special
go me!
i’m still stuck on the heart of gold in the H2G2 game…
does anybody want to help meee???
i got the spare improbability drive but have no clue what to do with it…
and the nutrimat isn’t being cooperative…
and the vogons are taking forever to show up so i can save the day already…
grrr…
GAPA i have a question…
do u know those johari window things? Where people go and pick 6 words to describe u and stuff? I did one of those, and i’m wondering if i can link it here, cuz it doesn’t give out any email or other contact info, just a name. Pleasy please? I’ll link it here so u can see and then if u say yes you can just leave it there…
awaiting your highnesses the GAPAs’ decision…
The GAPAs are deliberating…
Heh. My Valentine’s Day was on the icky side of bad.
First, I had to put up with”couples” sneaking presents into each others’ lockers. Seriously, what do they know about love?
Second (prologue) , I listened to my parents the night before and went to bed early so I could get some decent sleep, so didn’t finish my homework.
Second (A), I didn’t finish my math, and would have had to stay in for lunch had I not been able to mooch some answers off a guy during algebra before school. But since I didn’t show my work for those answers, I will get a very low score.
Second (B), I didn’t study for my science quiz, and failed it. Third, I was displeased all day because of failing the test and getting a low grade on the math.
My parents make it very clear to me that if I CAN get straight A’s, I SHOULD get straight A’s. You should see what happens around here when I get a B.
I don’t think I’m going to ever not finish my homework again. Which is why I should go write my autobiography now, like I should be doing, instead of partaking in the delight of the MuseBlog.
*puppy eyes* Prease some hot-pink bunnies for me, the humble servant and slave to the MuseBlog?
I dont have a hg2tg game. Then again, i dont have a playstation,gamecube, or anything like that either. Or is it an online game?
AM,
Sounds as if you can use a little cheering up. Let’s see if this does the trick:
Wow. Very hbpish.
*gasp* tis the sticker!!! That i didn’t get because i am a lazy procrastinator. Will there be another chance to get those???
I don’t either jadestone. It’s an online game. There’s a link somewhere…i shall post it again just because i’m feeling nice and because i feel an urge to link stuff…i think it must be the influence of the hot pink bunnies.
[Link approved. –Admin.]
You’d have to ask the magazine whether more bunny stickers are or will be available. The e-mail address is muse@caruspub.com, or you can use this handy e-mail form on the official Carus Publishing site.
ooh thanx! i sent them an email…(another one…i probably don’t have enough to do…lol) yeah it seems like i send various museish people emails a lot…
Is anybody here???
besides the GAPA i mean…
not that ur not cool GAPA…
But u don’t talk much…
If u want to talk to me i be happy though!
Who wants to ease my boredom (and frustration at not knowing where to get tea )
anybody hoooome?
Queenie J. (#649): I actually live in Louisiana. For some reason, this mistaken assumption that I reside in Alabama persists. I think it may have something to do with people reading “Montgomery” and thinking Montgomery, AL. That’s not what it means. I named myself after L. M. Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables. By the way, the south rocks. I mean, it’s really really hot, but everyone’s nice, courtesy is just expected, that stereotype of the shacks out in the backwoods is a completely myth, almost everyone I know has all their teeth (where on earth did that thing come from, anyway?), and I don’t think racism is worse here than anywhere else. I think in my entire life, I’ve known two people who were true racists. Anyway, the stereotype is odd, when compared with reality.
yaaaay hello MG!!!
i don’t really have an opinion about the south…it’s just the south. I think the north is cooler just cuz it IS (Holy wa eh? Cold outside eh?) but yeah…to me the south is driving to florida and visiting my nana+granddad.
Yup, that’s my sad little life. lol
Florida isn’t true south. A lot of yankees (I promise, this is just a general term for northerner, it’s not derogatory) moved down there to retire. It’s got too many people from up north trying to get warm to have a true southern feel.
Ebeth is leaving now…bye peoples…
south = sun = heat = yall are real lucky cuz i havent seen the sun in like over a week
here = 3 feet of snow = 3 degrees (it will be on fri @ least) = get me outta here
oh oh wait… = SNOW DAY!!!!!
yeah, i mustve heard 10 people in every class attempt to channel their psychic energy in order to have a snow day tomorrow. (“did ya hear? all the snows supposed to melt tonite!”….”snow day tomorrow? u got to be kidding!”… ” snow day? whats a ‘snow day’?”) reverse psychology. it actually works sometimes.
eeek! GAPA! nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! /not/ the bunnies! *begins rather annoying version of a very loud truck honk* mutt mastered those. 0_0
Heya! to get anywhere you have to get the atomic vector plotter from the Vogon ship. Not giving away HOW you do it, though….
It is seriously like late spring here. No snow at all. Way too warm. noooooooooo!! WE WANT SNOW!!!! otherwise, we might as well retire to florida!!!! lol
yah MG, florida is happy vacation tourist spot. Although for me it’s also britishness and tea and “football” *coughsoccercough* We always go visit my grandparents there, so a lot of it’s sitting in air conditioning. ooh and the history channel! lol The state of history geek seems to run in the family…
IIIII finished pride+prejudice last night go me! Now i go beg my parents until they get me the boooooooooook…
From now on it’s not enthusiasm k? It’s the boooooooooook.
Don’t ask why. I have no idea.
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook
wheee!
Ebeth, don’t talk about how warm you are. Okay? Yesterday was in the seventies. I wore nothing heavier than a T-shirt. I never see snow. Last year, on morning there was about half an inch on the deck, and seven years ago it snowed eight inches, but that’s the most we’ve ever had. So be happy.
Hi Guys!! I dont have school today. No, there isnt a snow day. Its because of P/T confrences. But if anyone else got a snow day can they come talk to me or purplecow? Which reminds me, we have a new blogger! My sister, purplecow, will be joining us. She is also an avid reader of muse.
Sigh… NO ONE is here and i cant remember the page where we all were pretending to be the muses or dragons or whatever and i am soooooooo board not even the GAPA is on and i dont know what to do and,GAPA why do you have to work cant you just stay home and blog with me and dont you all just love run-on sentences?
SOMEONES HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAPA PLEASE COME TALK TO ME NO ONE ELSE IS ON AND I AM DIEING OH PLEASE TALK TO ME PLEASE I KNOW YOUR HERE BECAUSE MY POST WAS MODERATED JUST PLEASE TALK TO ME!!!
Please?
Sorry, J., can’t stay and chat. You can find the Muse role-playing game (RPG) by clicking on the green “ARCHIVES” tab at the top of the page. Or you could amuse yourself by exploring the Fan Page if you haven’t done that already.
And welcome aboard, Purplecow. It’s always nice to see Musophilia running in families.
All, Please go to he Smiles page for a buliten anouncement.
Hey Jadestone!! Herd the announcements this mernin with bop and dude. Im here… for now.
Heeeeeeelllllllllloooooooooooo!!!
I’m here. Actually, I’m at skool, but whatever.

FIVE BLEEPIN ESSAYS on FIVE BLEEPIN POEMS find the meaning and all that crap and then compare two other poems that’s a total of SIX )@($#&^#)$(*)@$”#(&)#@($*(#$_#&))($@*_#(@”$#&)*(ESSSSSSAAAAAYYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And usually we get pretty much all hour bc she makes the objective easy but no this time the objective bit was SO (@#IN HARD!!!!! Like 30 matching q’s-HARD matching q’s-and then lines to scan and identify the rhythm! AND THEN SIX ESSAYS!!!! IN 55 MINUTES!!! The poems were hard too! You had to read them and think about them and they were so confuzzling! AAAH!!!! I BLEEPIN HATE ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sry for the random bleeped-out swearing…
got an A on my math test though.
I suppose that’s good.
GRRRR THE ENGLISH TEST! I wrote like a good half page for the first two and then i had like NO time and i had to read the freakin poems and they took FOREVER to figure out and i ended up with like anywhere from 8 to 3 sentences on the last four! IT WAS HORRIFIC!!!!!
Ok we need another happy note to end on now. FOUR DAY WEEKEND!!! WOOHOO!!!! (THE CAPS LOCK IS GETTING SOME WORK IN TODAY!) AND tomorrow my lb has to go to skool and I DON’T!!! MWAHAHAHA!!! AND THEN MONDAY OFF!!!! WHEEEEE!!!!!!!
Oh yes and MG you live in the south. Like the south south. I live in Ohio Ohio has no right to be this warm!!! No right at all! In fact, i think i’ll sue ohio for this! ARRRR! lol
Oh btw about the linky why the GAPA still deliberating? Do they need a Conference of GAPA or something?
:mgreen: (GAPA RC): I CALL THIS CONFERENCE TO ORDER!!!
(GAPA RS): Why are you talking in all caps?
Must be the musebloggers’ influence…
Ok…so. The conference. How has the relocation of our choklit stash worked out?
Perfectly. Choklit is no longer disappearing from our stash.
They could just be waiting for us to get comfortable.
Hmm…perhaps you’re right. I’ll add another couple of hot pink bunny guards.
The important business being over with, the GAPA then move on to more trivial things
So…this link…
ah. Do we post it, or not?
(Ebeth): Well, it doesn’t give out any contact info…
true…*looks up* Hey! You’re not Robert!
Erm…yes i am…
No, her!
AAH! This is a top secret conference! We have fifty hpb guards stationed around! How did you get in?!?!?!
Through the door.
But the hpb guards!!!
Eating your choklit. *licks lips*
WHAT??!?!!?!?!
NOOO!!! *run outside*
I think i’ll go post a million more times now…
So thats why they couldnt send Jadestone the Choklit…Oh dear. Ebeth, could you help Dude and me convince the GAPA to send Jadestone her virtual Choklit and breing her back to life?
Dude?
Oh,and Ebeth, Jadestone sends you some virtual snow. Theve got a little extra.
Dude.
Pheonix, I need the link to the Harry Potter site again.
Dude.
(Ebeth): Sure! GAPA! SEND JADESTONE VIRTUAL CHOKLIT!!!
Like, totally dude.
NOW!
Yes!
Dude!
*translating for Mr. Dude* He says we should ready the hpb army.
Good idea!
Dude.
*readies army*
(army): *waits threateningly*
GAPA! GIVE JADESTONE CHOKLIT!!!
YEAH! GIVE ME CHOKLIT!!!
DUDE!!!
Jadestone,
Sending virtual choklit requires focus. Unfortunately my job has been taking all my attention today — so I haven’t had a chance until now to transmit the chocowaves in your direction. Finally, though, I have a chance.
Sending virtual choklit!!! (A large bar of dark choklit, no nuts.)
Ebeth (#651),
It’s ixnay on the oharijay inklay.
Orrysay
The window itself seems fine but it’s on an unknown person’s Web-site. And while this person seems like a decent sort, I don’t know for sure.
And while we’re on the topic of links, here’s the GAPAs’ fundamental opinion: MuseBlog is supposed to be an end in itself / a destination in its own right, not a jumping-off point to the wonders of the Web. People should come to us for what WE have to offer, and to offer one another here!! Ta DA!
Oh. nvm about my last post then…
YAAAY! Jadestone got choklit!
Dude.
Oh, he’s wondering why Jadestone is talking in third person…
Dude.
It’s fun.
Yes it is!
Dude!
Ebeth declares it Third Person Day this saturday! Mark the calendars people! Let’s hear some third person saturday!!! woohoo!!!!
I’m OK, but my grandparents are arriving tonight and will be here until Tuesday, so no Museblogging will happen. Unfortunately. I’ll try to get some more Muse-ical done soon, I just want it to be better than it is.
Awwww.. oh vell.
Yes, I was in computer lab. Now I’m at home.
Ebeth (#697),
If I were going to do a Johari window for you, I’d select super, dooper and fabulooper. Oh, they’re not options?? Ohhhh well.
aawww..thanx! I’ve always wanted to be super, dooper, and fabulooper!
lol
I put up an away message on AIM.
“I am decapitated at the moment. Please leave a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.”
I thought it was funny.
It rained like all heck over here. Terribly wet. I had to run to get out of skool and I STILL soaked the inside of my grandma’s car. *shakes self like wet doggie* Speaking of wet doggie, my dog is currently mad at me because I won’t let her out into the wetness. Do you know how long it would take to dry her off? My dog is huge and fluffy. So a long time.
We have posted a lot, haven’t we?
ya know i think we beat the record of 666 or whatever it was last time don’t you think? by the way, i am very bored in case anyone cares… i want to go to bed… i tired… i resorting to caveman talk… i want sleep… i go read… good bye peoples… i be on tommorrow… maybe… i don’t know…. i hopes so… someone go onto the writing thread and look at my strange stories i posted there… goodnight…..
have there ever been threads longer than this?
lalalalalalalalalalalalala who knows?
Yep. Yep. Nope. Phillis is safe for another month…
Question: Next month do we have to beat 669 to keep Phillis, or do we have to beat the new record, whatever it is at the end of the month?
Or was Phillis just a one-time deal?
But yeah it’s the 16th and we’ve beaten all our records for the whole months. Amazing…
i was going to read all of the posts since i left yesterday, but there have been about 60 of them on this thread alone, so nevermind.
oh mongomerygurl, do you live in montgomery alabama? [No; see the FAQ section of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog. –Admin.] because that just happens to be where atticus studied law. which reminds me, i need to get my english notes off my hand before they comepletely wear off.
lets see if i can make them out…
grr, need to get a sharpie.
town where atticus studied law
even though atticus know that tr’s case is a matter of cconcience, he also knows that he cnnot do what
bob ewells disdain toward atticus
editorial
‘maycombs something that i cannot make out probably worst disease’
forshadowing of attack
note to self: next time rite on arm not hand
well there they are. then, when on monday night i am inclined to study, i will be able to find them.
speaking of my left arm, i sold half of it off to brittney, because libby wasn’t using it.
ooo where was i?
oh yes, my other internet has left to play poker with its poker-playing-pals and will probablly get very drunk and broke and come home in a few hours, but until then i am stuck with aol.
and i haven’t been on in at least 24 hrs, which is a sure sign that i was killed in a car crash. actually its not, im not sure why i said that, because i obviously did not get killed in a car crash. unless… *GASP* I AM A GHOST!
excuse that. i have been reading dirk gently’s hda. im at the part where they have… welll, lets see, the peoples have just gotten off the train, and the other peoples are trying to decide what it was that the ghost wanted.
by the way, i went to the library. got 8 books.
HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH!
I JUST BEAT HAC!!!!!!!!!!!
For the people who are totally clueless about my outburst, as in everyone, I will tell you the depth of my accomplishment.
Hac (tecnically Nethac) is a computer version of Dungeons and Dragons. You make a charecter and go on a quest to find the Amulet of Yendor and bring it to your assigned deity. On the way you go to stores, fight monsters, befriend fellow dungeoneers, solve puzzles, et cetra. There are fifty-one levels, six Quest levels, five Puzzle levels, one Rouge level, five levels in the tower of the WIzard of Yendor, five levels in the tower of Vlad the Impaler, and half of the normal levels are the evil devilish Maze levels in Gehennom. Also it has 5 Elemental levels. It is the HARDEST computer game in the world with the possible exception of the latest version of it, Slash’em, which I have but do not play as much and has 3 additional Quest levels. So anyway, let me tell you about my accomplishments.
I played as my favorite position, a Valkrie, one of the women warriors of Asguard. My deity was tyr. I sacrificed on an alter and got the weapon of Asguard, Mjollnir (pronouncer mee-OL-nihr), which strikes with a lightning attack and if you have top strength, 25, (which I did from having the Gauntlets of Power) returns to your hand if thrown. I was in Explore Mode, I admit it, which means you have the choice of coming back to life at the last saved game, but I ONLY DIED 50 TIMES! I know this sounds like a lot, but trust me, in Hac it is terrific. Usually I die over 300 times, and even if you are in explore mode if you lose ALL your hit points (my max was 350 at the end of the game, which is amazing) you lose the game. So I went down, defeated my Quest monster, Vlad the Impaler, all nine Demon Lords and Princes, beat Medusa, Famine, Pestilence, the High Priest (which took a while b/c his deity was throwing disintegration rays and lightening bolts at me the whole time), beat the Wizard of Yendor eleven times (he comes back to life) and beat Death THRICE. All while that stupid wizard was throwing Summon Monster at me and cursing my gear every two seconds. I solved the Wish puzzle and got seven wishes out of the three-wish wand I found and five out of the one-wish wand, got jumping boots, a shield of reflection, the Orb of Fate, silver dragon scale mail, the Gauntlets of Power, the Candelabrum of Invocation, the Bell of Opening, the Book of the Dead, seven wands of death, and was resistant to fire, cold, water, disintegration, electricity, sleep, hallucination, and magic.
As for magic weapons, I had Mjollnir, Frost Brand, Sting (which I made myself), Ogresmasher, and Demonsbane.
I won the game (becoming a demigoddess) after I reached thirtieth level and gained the title of Situla (that was my name) the Lady. I am SO proud!!!!!!!!
*sighs happily* no one I have ever known has ever beaten that game, even in Explore Mode!
mi padre had to call the geek squad today. My internet hasn’t worked since january.
those other times I managed to get on were at school.
J haue a vncle. Ye olde schoole… or whatever.
How about that Paul Baker?
I was so excited that we (meaning my values class) is learning about the London Tower and such. When I got home from schoole, I read that article.
My social studies teacher went to Egland and she got a special tour from a Yeoman/Beefeater/Person… yes
She asked him if he had seen any ghosts.
Miss A. Have you heard the legends/myths/stories about this tower?
Beefeater/Yeoman Of course
Miss A Oh
Beefeater I live here
Miss A Cool… I mean… uh… King ‘Enery the VIII I am I am. King ‘Enery the VIII I am…
Beefeater Don’t embarass your self kid
Miss A. Sooo, have you ever seen a ghost?
Beefeater Well, not actually seen one, but something I will never forget happened once…
Miss A. Only once?
Beefeater Yes. Me and me wife were in our room hanging out, playing bridge I think. Then my wife’s purse floated up in the air and shook itself. Scary, huh?
Miss A. Cha
Okay. The people are real. The ghost story is real. The rest I just made up. Wow. I bet Oprah is mad at me now. She also saw St. Thomas More’s tomb. She had just graduated and her parents were with her by the way.
King ‘Enery the VIII I am, I am. King ‘Enery the VIII I am. I’m gettin married to the girl next door, she’s been married seven times before, and everyone of them was an ‘Enery… King ‘Enery the VIII I am. Second verse, same as the first….

Wel, i wasnt hear for i while, but im willing to listen. what do you have to say?
Hey! it wont let me post…
Okay, there it is.
What website?? Huh?
Boxty,
I have to log off now probably won’t be moderating for the rest of the day. But when I get back on I’ll answer your question.
The thing is, though, the precise nature of the question escapes me.
So please tell me, what is it you’d like to know? I must’ve missed the question in the massive posting flurry of recent days.
Musers, I’m logging off for a while — probably until tomorrow. So unless Robert gets a chance to stop by (he might), the MuseBlog will be quiet for the evening.
