  2. of course, it loads on aol, which takes about a million years to load anything, but actually manages to load it. here is my post from the other thread:

    “em is back! yes she is! she had to go save the world from the evil deathlord of doom, but now she’s back!

    okay, my dad just asked me if i want to go to spamalot, and i said yes. someone please tell me what spamalot is?

    oh, and this thread is not loading all of the way for em again.

    *gasp* so many of you want to be sims!

    terror, i need a description. it can be very breif, i you want. and any pairs probably should pick a family name and a house name, because i am tired of making them up. (like, for example, the GAPA’s family name is GAPA, so their names are ‘robert coontz gapa’ and ‘rosanne spector gapa’, and their house is called the ‘gapa choklit lair’) mer, are you a boy, or a girl? and anyone with a really long name needs to pick a shorter one, because i can’t give you more than 18 characters.

    um, did anyone notice the bunnie at all? wasn’t it cute? *sharpens double-sided battleax* my bunnie will eat you (and your furniture, and your carpets) if you dont tell him how cute he is.

    have nothing else to say. this thread will probably never load for me again.”

    shouldn’t have said that, should i?

    no, dream bunnie, my bunnie eats furniture. my mom is always yelling at it to stop. and every stic cartoon i ever draw involves stic dude, stic dragon, and a hot pink bunnie, who always eats stic dude at the end. if not everyone else too.

  4. Holy Zarquon singing fish! That’s a lot of posts. We’re going to have to get up a LOT earlier to beat the GAPA, man. I have no trouble loading anything, but that could just be my karmic energy, dumb luck, or the fact that my motherboard is an interesting blue color. (Don’t ask.)

    I have Explorer, Mozilla, and Opera. I hate Opera, and Mozilla tends to smash images and flash layouts up, so I generally use Internet Explorer.

    Spamalot is the Monty Python musical lovingly ripped off from the Holy Grail. It’s coming back to my city, and I’m going to see it, because everyone tells me it’s fabulous. See review on my site. (Google “Total Cathassus” to find it. You’ll know.)

  5. Now I’m unhappy again. No, it’s not random unhappiness. It’s about Rebekah. Poor girl, Saturday, her parents had a huge fight, and then she started cutting. She recently talked to a good friend’s mom, who happens to be a counselor. She swears that now she’s better, and that she’ll work hard to get out of the hell she’s in. But she’s said that before. She’s said that many times. Every time, she’s fallen back in, and worse than before. Every time, there was something else that she swore was going to make the difference: Making up with her family, getting back with God, someone else in her life to help her. I just can’t see what’s different about this.

  9. many females who cut themselves arent suicidal. it can mean that they just need help, or it can actually be an imbalance of chemicals in the brain-they could be short on the chemical that helps the person associate a negative feeling w/ pain, so then they would be cutting in order to feel better. these are the words of my doctor.

  11. I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! DON’T PANIC!

    *clears throat*

    As March 25 is International Towel Day, in memory of Douglas Adams (1952-2001), I hereby decree that the day shall be declared a holiday. Musers will go about their regular duties carrying towels, singing appropriate songs, and quoting Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. (Now’s the time to start reading if you’re a freak that hasn’t.) Musers will also, if they wish, drink Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters (Ms. Jackson, Ms. Shulman, Mr. Coontz, Ms. Spector, and Mr. Baker may drink alcohol in these) and wear spacesuits or bathrobes. Fun, adventure, and lots of really wild things! Don’t panic! 42! Count the heads, baby. You’re so weird you should be in movies. Time is bunk. Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. Life? Don’t talk to me about life. More than you can possibly imagine. Ah, abuse. Yes. *is pied*

  17. I know why she’s cutting. It has to do with her parents, messed up family. I have no right to stick my nose over there. I know why she wants pain. I’ve inflicted pain before, too, to get my mind off of things that were going wrong. She claims she’s better, but she’s said that before. Guess the only thing I can do it watch and wait for the right time, the right opportunity. She’s stopped, at least for now. She’s found someone to help her, at least for now. And she was suicidal. She cut on the underside of her forearm, at least partially in the hopes that she would bleed to death. But for now she’s not doing that. I’ll worry when and if it starts back again.

For example, F*** means sex. Ok, sex isn’t the most polite and generally accepted thing to talk about, but for some reason it’s better than saying that-which-must-not-be-said-in-polite-company-though-the-hallways-of-skool-are-not-polite-company-and-is-generally-happy-(or not-so-happy)-swear-fest-time. wow that’s a lot of hyphens.

  48. Yeah, we’re reading it in school. AND, the seventh grade is doing the play. The entire thing. For the Shakespeare Festival, which is this big huge fun thing that everyone in Middle School is taking part in. Sixth and Eighth grade are doing seperate little parts of plays, but Seventh is doing the entire play. And I’m Gonzalo. I don’t know if our scripts will be different (we don’t have them yet) but I looked up the script on gooooogle and Gonzalo is the fourth biggest part. I am so excited, and so nervous! I only have two and a half months to learn 52 lines (if it’s the same script)! This is the fifth play I’ve ever been in, but it’ll be my first speaking part ever. Usually I’m back-stage or chorus.

    Yup. We’re reading it in school, and my grade is putting on the production. The entire middle school is doing a Shakespeare Festival. 6th grade is doing Julius Ceaser, and 8th grade is doing the play with the unspoken tittle.

    Emily and I made the play (we’re doing the adapted version of the Tempest, and if you know the play you would know why.) Emily is Gonzalo, and I am Adrian, the duke dude who doesn’t do much.

  54. Rhonda, Stig and Loki are just manifestations of my schizophrenia. They don’t represent actual people. Relax, Grant baby. The god Loki is totally different from my Loki. Anyway, Loki’s real name is Ikol, which has nothing to do with anything but is a fun fact which might be useful to you someday in some totally bizarre circumstances. Loki is now reverting back to Ikol, to stop any confusion.

    Ikol: The male god Loki has nothing to do with me. Pah!
    Rhonda: How do you KNOW I’m not actually a person? I mean, these other dweebs are just figments of a deranged imagination-yours-but I could be real!
