First?
*composes a spontaneous modern dance*
Where was Prince Charming before the faerytale began?
~Luna
Please tell me I got first post *crosses finger*
Look at the times. It’s a MuseBlog first: a tie!
IT’S MY HAPPY DAY!!! FOUR YEARS OF MUSE AND SIX MONTHS OF BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAY!!!!
Wow. Why was Luna’s first, then?
I got a Creative Zen, which is just a cheap ipod. I’ve got it all registered on my computer, the software all installed, and I just can’t figure out how to get music onto the library for the mp3 player. I don’t know how to get the stuff from Window’s Media player to Creative Zen media player. But my brother has the exact same thing I do, so I’ll ask him about it when he gets back from school.
The Creative Zen is so cool! I want one! Mraaah!
Now I’m done. I have to stop coveting so much stuff. At the moment, I want a box of See’s candy and a hug. Today was not good for my self-esteem.
The random winds of chance, I guess.
I used to have a Zen Micro. But I killed the headphone jack by wrapping the headphone cord around the player while it was still plugged in. So watch out for that.
~Luna
Chance isn’t random winds.
Rhonda: Aren’t the random winds fate?
Ikol: No, that’s just winds of fate. They’re not random.
Stig: Cruel winds of fate.
Rhonda: Yes, cruel winds of fate.
Number nine!
Oh yeeeeah.
MONGOMERYGIRL GOT HER LETTER PRINTED! Congrats!
Mmm mmm, Thai ginger potato chips. Spicy food is good.
I don’t have an iPod. Who needs one when you can have a fully loaded entertainment center laptop (or notebook, for some of you.)?
“Burp.”
I’ve been getting Muse for a long time now… But I’ve only been blogging (collectively) for… Oh, probably a few hours.
I don’t have any MP3 player. On the other hand, almost all of my music is stored in wma format, so there you go. WMAs don’t take up so much space, and I like them better.
Congratulations Monty! Your letter was printed! I didn’t know you were called Amanda, though.
Thai ginger potato chips are skiddy dense. I love spicy food.
Ikol: I don’t.
Stig: Fine, then, Mr. Blandman.
Rhonda: “Hey Mr. Blandman…” *sings*
Stig: *punches Rhonda*
im back!
there’s a march muse?
i want it!
And chance is a wind. Let me quote Wicked.
Wizard of Oz: I never asked for this,
Or planned it in advance,
I was merely blown here,
By the winds of chance.
I never saw myself
As a Solomon or Socrates,
I knew who I was:
One of your dime a dozen
Mediocrities.
Then suddenly I’m here,
Respected, worshipped even.
And all because the folks in Oz
Needed someone to believe in.
Does it surprise you,
I got hooked, and all too soon?
What can I say?
I got carried away
And not just by ballooooooon………
Et cetera, et cetera. You get the picture.
Wonderful.
@Violetfire: Oh, you’re using a Mac too? I have an iBook G4… When I tried to load Musefanpage.com, it gave me a screen that had a link to the “parent directory”. I tried clicking on it, and it gave me the same thing again, sending me into and endless cycle of clicking!
Awwww! I’m touched!
Someone wants a whole Come Back Paul Baker Blog!
I do most sincerely apologise to the denizens of this august forum for my recent absence. I have of late been immured in a plethora of pleasant but somewhat dilatory tasks, to wit:
I am editing music for my new Shawm Band, which next meets on Friday.
The Queen of Muses has engaged me to write sundry short fripperies. Being but oddments, they will not appear with my name upon them. See if you can spot them.
I’m constructing a renaissance guitar for a client in Sutton Coldfield, and a medieval dulcimer for a nice lady in Japan.
I am tutoring a folk songs workshop on Sunday. I know too litte about folk songs. This must change before Sunday.
I have three websites currently under construction, and another two that need regular maintenance.
I’m engaged in a big publicity drive for the band.
The sun’s shining, and I need to go walkies. When the snow’s melted.
However, I will make a firm resolution to drop in more and berate the Blog with fatuous comments.
Have fun!
Thank you, Violetfire.
See? I win the prize. (Even though there isn’t one.)

‘Ello, all! She’s baaaa-aaack! (Actually a more accurate statement would be ‘I’m back’, but whatever).
I was previously grounded because I went of Fanfiction.net, got nailed by a popup, and almost fried my dad’s computer before he could, uh…counterprogram.
I FINISHED MY MEGILLAH!!!!!
I have been practicing reading the Purim story (yes, in Ancient Hebrew) which is read every Purim. I’m going to be leining (singing a section of Talmud in a certain way) for Purim in front of a women’s gathering. Yes, women are allowed to lein. Just not during prayer. I actually checked my sources very carefully about this issue and found out that a very small minority of Rabbis actually forbade women leining, the rest said that as long as you don’t sing love songs or preform for the purpose of showing off your voice (plays and musicals are okay) a woman can sing as long as she wants. There are a lot more intricacies, but I don’t have time right now. The point is, I memorized an entire chapter, and now I get to read it in public! Yaaaaay!!!
i have no skool i have no skool i have no skool ha ha ha ha ha!!!
i’m hungry i’m going to go eat… see ya!!! i shall return!!!
I have no skool either! HA HA HA HA!
i have a Creative Zen too and I just use the program thing that came with it and it works fine. careful if you have the Micro though because I have a couple of friends who dropped theirs and they broke and now they have sworn revenge on the Creative company. so dont drop it.
hey, I love Wicked! I want to go see it on stage soooooooo bad because the soundtrack rocks!
I finally figured out how to use the Zen. My brother explained to me that that was what the “sync” button on Window’s Media player was for. I should’ve figured it out myself, but I’m hopelessly clueless about electronics.
Sometimes I wish that I was extremely filthy rich, and could have an iPod and great clothes and fun vacations and a huge house. Then I berate myself for not being happy with what I have. Then I say, heck, no one can tell what I’m thinking, so I can be as greedy as I want in my head. Then I feel guilty anyway and give up.
Heh…just talking to myself there.
Em, I am of the female sort. I have now added a clarifying “a” to my name, in case anyone else has doubts.
My Zen only cost $220. I had to pay for it with my own money. My parents would’ve never dreamed of getting something like that for me. I’ve been saving for several years, birthdays, Christmasses, etc. All I get for a gift is money, so I have a good bit of it.
yeah, i just blew all my money on mine too. i am now absolutely broke. unfortunitly my birthday isn’t until july either. so no income. (tear)
thankie, mera. im so sorry about the delay in simmaking. i’m in the middle of a series of power struggles with my parents. and i have the OM competition coming up on saturday. and i got sick yesterday, hence me being home from skool. plus i have developed a recent tendency to get depressed, and hole myself up in my room, which has not helped in motivating my parents to give me infinite time to play sims.
for those of you who have no idea what OM is, dig up your rube goldberg muse, and find the article about the collage students who were constructing the rube goldberg machines. Odyessy of the Mind is sort of like that, except more in depth, and complecated. and if you win you go on to the states competition, and then the worlds competition.
whenever im in a siuation where peoples say “…and you can’t bring electronics of any kind…” i always say “but i cant live without my ipod!”. incidentally, i don’t have an ipod.
hello paul baker, dlod, phoenix. it’s so nice to see some old faces! well, not actually faces, but you know what i mean.
Robert… would your middle initial happen to be J?
It is and always has been. Why do you ask?
hey, does anyone know how to look up email addresses?
No reason. Just that I was looking you up in the Northern Virginia phonebook. There are four people living in Northern VA named Coontz; Raymond Coontz, Robert and Patricia Coontz, and Robert J. Coontz. I was thinking of calling you up and saying “I know where you live! Mwa ha ha ha ha!”. Unless you don’t live in Northern VA. I would think you would though, because of the shorter commute. Phonebooks are even harder to use than dictionaries.
Hey! I’m not an old face! I have been posting pretty steadily since August, I just (as I said) got grounded.
I’m sitting here eating mac and cheese, drinking sierra mist, talking to one of my best friends on AIM, and not at school.
I am happy.
Nostalgia just isn’t what it used to be.
So Pheonix (19), you’re not allowed on FanFiction.Net anymore?
Where are you laining? Maybe I can come!
actually, the robert that is married to patricia is robert j too. i think robert j must have been some famous person.
i am so bored. i want to call RR but i am too afraid. what if his parents answer!! help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i’ll call my friend instead…
hmm. well, your house is obscured by a tree.
god… my head is tired. why do i always get sick at the most inconvinent times?
e-amil adresses… go to wwwdotsuperpagesdotcom and click on people pages and fill out the form and click search and then click on the option for finding out the person’s e-mail, except it only works if you are a member. that probably wasn’t very helpful.
i know. its just that we’ve had so may newbies, so its nice to see some people who have been here for a while.
psh. i have absolutely no patience at all. you watch, my friend will probbly try and get on this site now.
Congrats, Phoenix! I’m so happy for you! I looked up leining and it sounds froody.
Kricket, call RR. If his parents answer-“Hi, this is Kricket. Can I talk to RR?”
Parent: “Yeah, one sec.”/”No, he’s not here right now, can I take a message?” etc. Don’t worry, Kricket baby.
I have wagered with my future self that the price of the iPod Nano will be down to $120 or lower by this September. I sincerely hope that it will be. Not only will I win five dollars, I can celebrate by going off and buying one. And then being flat broke.
What if past self loses? Will future self have to pay past self back? How would you do that, anyway?
Easily, Lusifer baby. Can I call you Lusy? Lusy, it’s like this. If past self loses, Mera does not buy a Nano or pay herself five dollars.
Oh look! I have the 42nd post! Hoopy!
Lusy? That’s like Lucy in the evil dialekt kontaining “C”s.
Call me Ishmael!
Or Bob.
w00t for march! im back. yays.
i have a relly small philips mp3 that only has 512mb of memory but its cool.
MG: i saw your letter in muse! youre famous!
Oh yeah MG, congrats on getting your letter in! Soon we will be able to infiltrate the cleverly designed Muse Mail system and expertly tweak it to only allow letters from Us Truly on the blog!
Sorry, I don’t speak MP3. What’s 512mb? How many songs is that?
512mb is roughly 125-140 songs, I think. My iTunes has apprx 575 right now and’s 2.55GB.
I posted this on the original topic in August, but I know no one will ever witness my brilliance there so I’m re-posting it here.
You know you’re addicted to reading when:
You walk around reading a book whenever possible and never trip. Even on stairs.
You spend more daily time reading than sleeping.
You don’t want the latest tech accessory for your birthday. You want more books.
You have exhausted the book supply in your house and in several local libraries.
You scream whenever you see someone reading a book with the cover folded back around it.
You keep your Muse magazines in a special drawer in your desk. A locked drawer.
You have no idea what just happened on Lost or One Tree Hill, but you can give a detailed summary of four out of five books anyone can name.
Sadly, I fit most of these categories.
Totally random comment:
I LOVE HOT PINK BUNNIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have changed my name yet again. You should be able to figure out that I am the new, improved Antepenultimate Mer.
Hark! The name transition has malfunctioned and split me into two alter egos.
O.O
Cool.
We are now united again. But still two persons in one body, striving towards different, equally unreachable destinies. Two persons eternally tied to each other by bonds of love, hate and treacle. Two persons eternally set apart by the characteristics that define them and…

I’m leining on Purim at the JCC at 9:30 AM, or possibly 8:15 AM. I don’t know yet.
I won the HG2tG game! It was hard, and I had to cheat twice (once to not crash the boat, and once to find Marvin’s tools) but otherwise I wasn’t assisted.
Dragon, I TOTALLY agree with your name.
I think soon I shall aquire an Mp3 player, if my parents are very nice.
Got into a car accident today! It was snowy and slushy where I live today, and we were driving down a hill on the way to school. The car 3 cars in front of us made a sharp left, the car behind him stopped short, the car in front of us stopped short, and we stopped short, but it was slippery and our car slid. Luckily we weren’t going fast enough for the airbag to deploy, or I would have a broken nose besides a nasty bruise on my shoulder. However, although the car we hit was barely scratched, the front of our car got shmooshed. The car we hit turned out to be one of my dad’s students. Go figure. It was sort of funny, though.
Oh yeah, and I hypnotized myself today, during math class. It was cool.
Antepenultimate Mera- do you fit this category?”You have no idea what just happened on Lost or One Tree Hill, but you can give a detailed summary of four out of five books anyone can name.” if so ill bet i can name 5 books that you cannot give detailed summaries of 4/5 of-the anubis gate by tim powers
operation chaos-poul anderson
A morbid taste for bones-elliot peters
a murder in the place of anubus-lynda s robinson
the kingdom by the sea-robert westall
any four of these and you get 20kg of virtual chocklit -same for me if u cant
53- Luv the name! Gold dragon or somthing like that was my second choise for name.
Hypnotize me and make me do your bidding!
On second thought, maybe not. Stuff like that is dangerous in the wrong hands. *coughemilycough*
alright, this is my skool story for today.
so yesterday i got this note that said we had to go “careercruising” online today during ap lang, + that 9&10 news was going to be filming us! whoa, i freaked out.
i didnt need to freak out. we went to the comp lab this morning, + the news reporters were there, but they only interviewed this one guy (literally the “big shot” of the entire class of 07-ah, coincidence) + they didnt film the rest of my class. the thingie is going to be on the 6:00 news on monday. hey, you know what? i wont be seen in this thingie, but i might be heard, see, the careercruiser “matchmaker” is incredibly innacurate, so i took the matchmaker test + got … it was either “taxidermist” or “gunsmith” as one of my career suggestions, + when my friend + i saw this, i started laughing insanely, thinking “what an incredible waste of time this turned out to be!” it was a very loud, very insane laugh. yes, ill be the first taxidermist/ gunsmith/ vegitarian/ animal rights activist. sure. w00t for careercruiser.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Heeeeeeeeeeee Heeeeeeeeeee i is hyper!
wow! i just tried the IAT test from this months muse… very interesting!!!!!!!!!!!
do you guys know wwwdotholdthebuttondotcom? its very entertaining and muse worthy so GAPA please make the link work and dont zap it
whew. i’m here. first the fan page it self woldn’t work, then the blog. x_x finally
I think I did the hold the button down thinger once. I remember that it made my fingers sore and was a complete waste of time. But to each his own, I guess.
Sphinx, I just read your story on fanfiction.net. IT. WAS. AMAZING. Great charecters (yes, I know they’re real), great motivations, great everything! Just two small problems. One, the whole find-the-brother thing is kind of cliched. And knowing your brother personaly (I still have some butter in my hair), I don’t think you would WANT to find him.
second problem: YOU NAMED ME (here I assume it was me) ANNA?!?! What kind of of name is that for me? Okay, I’m just making a fuss. The story was awesome! Even if you put my siblings in there so I couldn’t leave, which was evil! Because you knew perfectly well I wouldn’t betray my family, even in a story, so I’m STUCK there.
Well, not entirely true. You said you guys were turning seventeen. So I would be turning eighteen. In four months I get to have my own place, bring my sibs with me. So there.
Seriously, I loved the story. You are a great writer, you have majorly improved from your already-good style at the beginning of the year. Keep it up!
And I bet you know why I’m not posting a review? Good. By the way…
Name: Haley Edriger
Nickname and reason behind nickname: Carp– she is one of the most amazing swimmers you have ever seen.
Age: 17
Gender: female
Appearance: medium height, thinnish and flattish, with long limbs and strong arms. She is a bit clumsy out of the water, but she makes up for it swimming. She has shoulder-length hair about the color of maplewood if you set it on fire for a short while, and hazel eyes. Her hair is almost ALWAYS messed up.
Personality: Carp is direct and straightforward, blunt and expects everyone else to be. As a result she insults almost everyone. She loves jokes but rarely tells them, and she is inclined to distrust people she doesn’t know.
History: She used to live with her father in Michigan, by Lake Huron (which is where she learned to swim). Her father’s small business went broke and they moved down to NYC to make a life. She works as a Newsie in Brooklyn, but goes home to sleep. She and her father love each other very much.
Other: Carp has a crush on her gangmate, Pine. This is one thing, though, that she isn’t very blunt about, and in fact she has never mentioned it at all.
As for clothes, she usualy wears a faded red shirt which she almost never takes off. It gets plenty of washing, though. If you want to know why red, look up which light travels farthest under water…
How’s that?
Ha! I now know how to hypnotize! C’mere, jess! You can bew my first Guinea Pig (literally).
Hypnotize?Let no awake Muser evade your eyes, remember why the good lord made your eyes! So don’t shade your eyes, but hypnotize, hypnotize, hypnotiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiize…
We don’t take career tests at school. No one ever understands a word I say, so the whole school is just one big joojooflop. Still, I get to bring in my Paul Simon “Graceland” CD and play it during Social Sh…studies, and that should be mod frood. Even though Simon plagiarized a Los Lobos song for “All Around the World”.
Still, you can’t have everything. Q.E.D.
Mer:
(59) Congratulations, DLOD! Not many people could name five books I’ve never heard of. You win.
Mre:
*throws hissy fit*
Mer:
Temper, temper, alternate ego.
Mre:
*runs off to hug the doggy*
Mer:
*follows her*
hello. bye.
I can hypnotize myself. Never tried to hypnotize anyone else.
okay, this is really starting to drive me nuts. what is with all this name-changing, alter egos, and secret identities? i may be bored, but at least im not that bored!
Thanks so much for the review, Pheonix! Thank you so much for all the compliments!
And don’t worry, Anna isn’t done in this story. You’ll see more of her, I promise. And I called her Anna just to spite you. :p
Don’t worry, if the find-the-deserting-brother thing seems cliched right now, it won’t be soon. Trust me, it won’t follow any cliches. I hate ’em, and I’d never let one in to this story. I love it too much.
I can use Carp? Thanks! That’s the best charcater I’ve gotten so far! I hope I can live up to your writing.
I should probably post the story in Writing by now, shouldn’t I?
Yes.
You can also use Pine, Helio, Unity, Greenbean, Photo, and all my other Brooklynites. Proud to have them in your story!
PhEonix, who would be Pine? And no fair, you get two characters!
Jess, quit complaining. You get to be a main character!
I was just gonna ask you if I could use Pine too. Thanks so much! I think I’m gonna use Carp, Pine, and Photo. Do you have descriptions of them, or do I have toi guess from what you’ve written?
I refuse to contribute any characters. You wouldn’t want them anyway, I can’t write creatively to save my life. Which is good, as having to write to save my life is an unusually remote contingency. Maybe it’s just supposed to be an idiom.
I’m all right at the moment, just a little depressed.
OK, a lot depressed. I can see you going straight to the next post. *weeps into virtual handkerchief*
I GET TO SLEEEEP!!!
Some rather intelligent person *cough* ordered the wrong test for us freshies, but fortunately for us, it’s not required, just something to keep us busy while the sophomores take the OGT. SO IT GOT CANCELED! Which means i don’t have to go in to skool until 12 all next week!!!!!! YESSSSS!!!!! The sophomores are all really mad, and we’re walking around laughing our heads off in a slightly maniacal way. YES YES YES! I GET TO SLEEP IN!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah. I already wrote Carp’s description. Pine is tallish and quite slim for a boy, but as good a fighter as the next man. He’s self-confident, a natural born leader (at least by his own description) and seems to get along with everyone. He has a very good opinion of himself. He is cockey and determined, and always seems to be laughing at you. He has dark brown hair and striking green eyes. He has a talent for annoying people.
Photo is short, dark skinned, and grumpy. He is very pessimistic, but somehow everyone seems to like him. Unity is his younger sister, and his favorite thing to do is make fun of her. However, if you try to hurt her, be prepared to be flat on your back with Photo strangling you. He has a VERY short temper and no patience whatsoever.
You know the article on the bias comitee? Well, ohio loves standardized tests(all the worse for us). So i show the article to my language arts teacher,and she just starts laughing.
P.s. phoenixes rock, too
Why am I equated with “the big guy” in the “Youngish Musers” section of the blog area?
Also, would the subject of homophobia and discrimination against homosexuals be considered “inappropriate” for discussion on MuseBlog? (I tend to take those issues with me almost everywhere I go.) Just wanted to ask.
So… Uh… What are you people talking about?
Standardized tests…Anyone read the book Story Time by Edward Bloor? (really funny)
DOHHHH! I JUST READ OVER THE BOARD!!!! violetfire is INFINITELY WISE and who else has seen Wicked??? we sang defying gravity in school chorus!!! it was totally wicked.
uh will they call us freshies? that sounds even worse than sevies!
OH YEAH! i got my sims game back! now, where was that cheat for getting money…
koko13 i still need a description!!!!
sry if im throwing anyone off topic (well, if there even is a spec topic in this thread now) but does anyone know the storyline of Aida? ive heard a bit about it. i started a short story the other day, + i have the strangest feeling that its starting to have a few parallels to aida.
i feel like my insides have been replaced with radioactive snot, hot pink bunnies, and large blue spikey things. WWWHHHHYYYY NNNOOOWWW???????? of all the times to get sick!!!!!! i have to go to the OM competition tomorrow!!!! aaaahhhhh!!! diediediedie!!! my team will kill me!!! cursed be the irony gods!
doesn’t anyone want to know roberts adress/phone #? i thought you peoples were th crazy stalker fangirls/dudes.
MG: can u really unwrap a starburst w/ ur tong?
grr the monie cheat is not working!!!
Being a freshie is WAY better than being a sevvie. But not as good as being in 8th grade, whatever they call them.
Em, you have his address and phone #? STALK-FEST! I say we hold the Muse Convention at our dear GAPA’s house. Just show up at his door some day and go “Whee! PARTY!”
You’d love that, wouldn’t you, Oh Most Esteemed And Yet Stalked GAPA R.C.
Oh defcon pilot (#84) no, we’ve discussed them, but it’s restricted to hot topics. I think. *thinks* Yes, i think. Amazing.
Guys, i just watched part 1 of a sound of music…i haven’t seen that movie in ages. Good movie. Happy singing sunshine flowers. Except now it’s better cuz i understand the political junk too. (Ok look the last time i saw this i was like somewhere in 8-10. Give me a break, yeah? lol)
mrahr.
wow, i had a relly bad day. it seems like life has just been this… happy, spaz-ish dream… until recently. + i relly dont know why. theres this girl who has maliciously ruined a great deal of my life recently, so maliciously that i dont know how she live w/ herself anymore, but she made up a ton of [censored] about me last year + i think shes @ it again. i should post the story behind this sometime; you ppl would find it incredibly entertaining. ive never told anyone the complete story b/c its so long + pointless
Long and pointless is the motto of the monthly thread. Besides, i’m bored and i don’t feel like going to bed anytime soon.
I leave for three days and we end up with 95 posts. (Well, two, actually, since the blog was down for me most of March 1.) Wow.
I HAVE A LONG WEEKEND! YAAY! We had conferences yesterday and today, and we get Monday off for Pulaski Day. (One of the advantages of living in Chicagoland is that you get all sorts of Polish and Polishy holidays off.)
Defcon pilot (84): There’s a thread for that called “Hot Topics.” I’d give you the link, but I’m too lazy. Check on the Archives page.
im back. ooooooooh, i just found some toll house cookie dough in the fridge…it was soooooooooo good; ive wanted some of that stuff for ages.did anyone watch NUMB3RS tonight? they actually didnt do a rerun this week, + the preview for the one next week looked even better. the psychic guy looked kind of creepy
does anyone out there get the mag new moon along with muse?
ok this is weird……….i just posted a comment and the time says 7:36 am but it is 8:39 am! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH i live in a different time zone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the whos here it says that WatermelonStars= Popcorn. That is not true! we are two different people. GGGGGGGGGRRRRRR
psychic guys…….are creepy………cause no ususal word should have p then s then y then c…it’s strange.
So whatre we gonna call next month’s random thread? Forward April?:)
Nice.
SG,
You have to remove the spaces between the word and the colons. Hold on, I’ll do it for you.
oooooooo! Now I’m so excited! I found another person who’s actually seen Wicked!!!! *Smiles and almost explodes* (Ok, maybe I’m a Wicked Freak, but, you know….)
Did that really just happen,
Have I actually understood….
Good news, everyone! I used to have a weblog, where every so often I would make posts and discuss things. Sadly, it switched owners some time last August, about the time this thing came up. I was unable to get in, make articles, or anything of the sort.
Yesterday I was reminded by a buddy of mine about it, so I decided to visit it. I read my old material, which was really quite funny. Just for fun, at the top of the page I saw a thing that said “Log in,” which had not been there previously. I clicked on it, entered my username and password, and behold! I was in! So now my magnificent blog is up and running again.
Penguin7-you live in my time zone! YAY!
And penguins rock. Me love penguins.
Yay! I can get on again! My brother has been playing some shoot ’em up thing every waking hour the past few days, so that’s why I wasn’t here. Fortunately, he isn’t really up until about noon on Saturdays. I saw Numb3ers! That was one of the best episodes yet. But what exactly is Charlie’s relationship with the FBI? I mean, do they pay him or what? And of course Larry just drops by to chat about confidential cases whenever the mood takes him. So it’s a bit unrealistic, but oh well. Welcome back, Mr. Baker!
reader person, dont fret i enjoy reading as much as you do. 8-]
hola amigos!
*feels refreshed after 11 hrs of sleep; about as much as she had in the previous five nights combined*
penguins are cool. so are ducks. i like ducks. i collect rubber ducks… alright im leaving now… adios
I’ve decided to go on the mission trip, by the way. People from last month will know what I’m talking about. It’s to New Orleans. Now, to raise $600. Oh boy. I hope my aunts are gentlemen. And if my dad goes, thats $1200. Say hello to PB&J every meal of the day. Actually, we’ll be doing some group fund-raising too. But somebody had better have smarter ideas for fund raising than they did for the one my brother went on. Some unidentified person had the bright idea of putting decorative flamingos in people’s yards and then making them pay to have them removed. Very thankfully, it was never done. Not only would that be annoying and totally obnoxious, but it would give a rather bad name to the church. Hello, we’re St. ********! We put ugly lawn ornaments in your yard for free! (until you don’t want them any more.)
mer-72 YAY!
*continues from post in muse movie thread*
right, so a while ago (@ my skool) you had to have all these certain things about yourself to be “emo” (these things are so trivial, but i always notice them), then it changed so that if you were wearing any sort of black shirt, it would qualify you. now, if someone merely has 1/2 their bangs hanging in their face, someone else will walk by them + be like ” out of my way emo kid!”
but heres the flip side, which kind of amuses me
on any given day last year, thered be a few “emo” kids hanging around in the hallway between C + F buildings, and a few B’s + K’s would walk by + be like “oh, haha, look @ the emo kids.”
this year, the same ppl are like “oh haha, look @ the emo ppl!- [sees that there are 10 more behind them] uh…i mean…”
+ now the [barbies, kens, plastic ppl, preps, choose your word] cant even say that anymore b/c for some reason we are everywhere. mrahr.
ack!!!!!!!!!!!!! i’m going INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ack!!!!
(99) I get New Moon too. I think it’s kind of an annoying magazine, because it keeps saying YES GIRLS ARE EQUAL TO BOYS AND EVERY BIT AS GOOD AND WE’RE AWESOME AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE SKINNY TO BE A GOOD PERSON AND NEW MOON IS DEDICATED TO SENDING YOU ARTICLES ABOUT WOMEN/GIRLS WHO DO THINGS JUST AS WELL AS MEN/BOYS, ETC!!!!! and it gets tiresome sometimes.
My cousin is on a mission trip type thing in India for three months. I wish I were allowed to tell you people about my blog, but I can’t, because the extension is my full name.
Awwww……..Moderators aren’t on.
Tonight I am going to a bar mitzvah party. I know you don’t care, but it should be froody. I can keep being not asked to slowdance! Yay! Woohoo!
Okay. I can never make up my mind about names, which is why I’ve had about six since I’ve first entered the blog. I’ll see if I can stick to this one for longer than “Antepenultimate Mer”. Short and sweet, baby.
These name changes are getting kind of annoying. Just chose one and stick with it, good? At least for a month. How long did it take you to figure that out, kricket?
What is in a name. That which we call a rooooose-*is pied*
I get to recite lines from Romeo and Juliet. My first name IS Juliette.
Rhonda: No, you don’t. That’s no excuse for sadism.
Ikol: It’s not sadism, it’s culture!
Stig: Listen, you semi-evolved simian, go climb a tree, will you?
Queenie: No no, sir, your monkey has got it right.
Ikol: *splutters incoherently*
Queenie: It’s the bard!
Rhonda: As in “pearded like the bard”? Sorry.
Stig: You should be, that was a horrible joke. Rhonda!
Rhonda: OK, OK, I’m sorry! I apologize profusely. I couldn’t resist.
Stig: Pah! Won’t even crawl, baby. No Shakespeare quoting, OK?
Queenie: But!
Ikol: Monkey! Pah! Ape descendants!
Rhonda, Stig, Queenie: Not really.

i like to post on old threads and there i will be known as…

*nonchalantly eats some grapes*
Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
if you’re talking to me, then the last word of your question should be “lady”.
i got my muse!!!!!
yay!!!!!
MG is famous!!!!
good for her!!!!!!
Has anyone gone to https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/ and taken any of the implicit association tests? It said I had a slight preference for Judaism over other religeons and (gasp) a moderate preference for George W. Bush over other recent presidents!
krickie, you’re insane because i don’t have enough money to install a toilet in your house.
(130) yes, on the march muse contest thread, which has inconvienientally drifted down the page where non-musebloggers don’t know about it.
Hey, I’ve kept the same name I started with, back in the days of the Gaboomba AND ever since my comment was the first on this blog!
Mmmm I love David Bowie music. So very sentimental.
I’ve been getting Muse all my life, and my sister since it came out, but I’ve never written or entered a contest or blogged, because I’m lazy. So i thought it might be a nice time to start…
I allready told you guys how to get more money on sims. Hold down Shift+Control+C and a little box pops up in the corner, then type in ROSEBUD !;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;dhfbfuedjvbusdjvhbefujhvbhdufjhgnoikdfhgikr
That last part is just random lettes. Fill up the whole box with those. Then press Enter/Return. It will say sorry, no such cheat but give u more moneyat the same time. Press Enter/Return again and it will give you more, press it again and get even more, and so on. Enjoy!
Oh, and make sure to put a space bewteen ROSEBUD and the !;!;’s.
And by the way those were from me.
Does anyone have sims 2? I want to try it but none I don’t want to actually spend my money on it yet. But i heard it was pretty cool.
(130) yes, im apparently very prejudiced toward old people.
I dont know exactly what to think thats supposed to mean. I dont know any old people.
109- Charlie’s brother works for the FBI, so he helps to advise them.
There’s a Sims cheat where you somehow get a box and you type “motherlode” and it gives more money. Worth a try.
I was just perusing the blog rules in boredom and I noticed that the words “We’re all Musers here” were repeated in bold. It does leave the reader on a slightly spooky note.
We’re all Musers here.
Or is it just me who senses this?
lol i started using the rosebud cheat right after my LB + i got sims. my sim family’s house is worth 120,000 something $ right now
131: Where did that come from? I haven’t taken the test yet. I started the race test, but then I had to quit. Even the picture matching was hard! They were all gray and you had to judge by they’re noses! Being someone who is not in the habit of looking people in the nose, that was difficult. Sure, Charlie has a connection to the FBI, but where does his income come from? The FBI stiffs him. He is supposedly a consultant, but the only consulting he ever does is for the FBI who, as mentioned earlier, are a bunch of tight-wads. So where does his fortune come from? He bought his fathers house, so he must be pretty rich. He also is appearantly a professor or something at the college, but you never see him teaching either. He spends days on end scribbling pis and such on chalkboards without any students getting in the way. How’s my sim doing, by the way?
Guilty of too-frequent name changes. I’ll try and stick wth Pentatonikk for longer, but then I find a new name I reaaaaaally reaaaaaaaally want to try and it’s all downhill from there.
Hi. I’m back. Yes, I was gone. Yesterday I was on the internet *gasp, Musers are shocked*, and I was talking on AIM *Musers are further shocked*. Well, one of my friends told me that she was going to be coming to my mall (she lives about 45 minutes from me), so I could meet her, and spend the night. So we did it. I watched “Signs”. I stayed up way too late. We dressed up goth. We attempted to make a movie, but the camera died. Yep, sleep over.
Guys, Pheonix just got her Muse, and I was over at her house, so we looked at it together (I don’t gte Muse; I steal Pheonix’s, but she, Zyviva, and others pooled together to get Lusifer and I Muse for our birthday), and MG isn’t the only one who’s famous! Did you guys see the letter about the nonexistence of logic, on page 45? The one that made Urania and Aieu cry?
Yep. That’s Pheonix and I.
It was my idea, of course.
The best way to get money on sims is the rosebud ;!;!;!;!;qldg cheat. I would try the motherlode (141) one but, alas, my sims cd is snapped in two.
AAHH!!!! I just remembered my susbscrption is expired!!!!
Your idea? But that’s the logical conclusion…
Congrats! You made TWO Muses cry!
I think I’m going to write in saying this:
Dear Muse,
Please DO NOT THROW THIS IN THE FAN MAIL PIT!!!!!!!! That is all.
Lusifer Ink (Muahahahaha)
The place where adults never grow down
I know. We’re just so talented, aren’t we?
I just got muse from my grandmother for my a-MUSE-ment and i just took a test on the website and it was really cool and it wasen’t all questions it was games but it was really cool check it out it was in the new issue for March i think and it was with the flesh with the crayons so check it out!
THE BEST

I’m sorry. I’m just the Living Dead right now because of my de-sucrated state. (Is de-sucrated the right word? Is it a word? Do I care?)
You mean the IAT?
My letter to Muse:
Dear Muse,
Please throw this in the Fan Mail Pit. And they all lived happily ever after. The end.
Vith much love and insanity,
Pentatonikk
This is NOT me.
It’s my friend, vid.
I think it’s a good picture though. Well, I think so. : mrgreen :
Whoops. Forgot to close the [a].
Hello to anybody who’s reading this. I am an avid reader and devoted fan of MUSE® Magazine. I am dark, lonely, and depressed. My mom hates me AND my dad, my sister has emotional issues, and I’m stuck at home every day with my six-year-old brother. If there are any others like me, please respond, at this time I really need a friend.
With a lonely sigh,
BlackRaven
PostScript.: I’m also a big fan of dark poetry, particularly Edgar Allen Poe (my all-time favorite poem is “The Raven”). If there are any poets out there, I’d love to talk!
“Reflections”
as i lean into the cold, dark water
ready to immerse
my pained, aching face
into the black liquid
i stop–
pull away,
breathe
i see my reflection staring up at me
with a tiny glow in the crooked smile
that’s false on my face
but real, here in the water
and then i smile
standing
gathering my things
realizations taking a toll
for though i am lonely
my reflection and i
we are destined to live
-from the Poetry of BlackRaven
Hi, BlackRaven,
Welcome to MuseBlog.
Your poem is beautiful. It’s sad and happy at the same time.
Ooh. Poetry. I have bits and pieces scattered all over a note book of mine. Mwa. That was really good! I love Poe too, he was awesome.
Thank you, Axa! I feel sorry for Edgar Allen Poe. His life was terrible. I think the only way to describe him is a tortured soul. And about your poetry – you should combine the bits and pieces into a very random poem. I tried it once, and it came out really nicely. It’s like a found poem off your notebook. And thanks for noticing my comment!
I like your poem BlackRaven! Especially the bit about the smile being false on your face but real in the water. I like what your poem says. Sometimes I avoid dark poetry (well not Edgar Allen Poes, I like his) because i find it too…. I dont know, self indulgent, I guess you could say, but I think yours was really good. It was hopefull, even though it was sad.
Poetry is great! Post some more.
I am almost completely certain that I am the only one up at this hour. Where I am, the time is 2:58. I’m not even tired!
Welcome, BlackRaven! That’s really good! I love Poe’s work. He was amazing. I agree, though, his life was horrible.
Well, I guess, since you shared one of your poems, I’ll share one of mine. It’s still dark poetry, but not as dark as yours, I don’t think, and a different feel. It’s rhyming, which helps.
Lost At Sea
All alone on a deserted island
Lost at sea
Why is no one ever
There for me?
By myself, all alone, no one
Reaching out
Thought someone’d help but now
I’ve fallen into doubt
Drowning in a river
Of my tears
There’s no getting away
From my fears
When will this torture
Finally be done?
When will this war
Finally be won?
It can’t go on like this
Can’t end this way
But I don’t have the strength
To live another day
I can’t take it, can’t
Do it anymore
There has to be another way out
Some other door.
No one to hear me
When I call.
No one to help me
When I fall.
No one else here
It’s just me.
On a deserted island
Lost at sea.
Eh, not so good, but it’s one of my earlier works.
I like poetry (that was really good, by the way), but now poetry is being butchered. Just like how modern “art” is now any random images thrown together, modern “poetry” is just random words. Once, I wrote a modern poem. I asked my little brother to throw out big words, and then I connected them with conjunctions. It turned out a lot like some modern “poems” I have seen.
What? What! The times for you guys says 11:45, but its only 9:20, or is my clock just messed up????
Yeah I’m a newbie but who really cares i have just as much right 2B here as the rest of U!!!!
If Edgar Allen Poe could bring 2 life all of the things that he wrote about, then the world would be much more evil & i coulld sleep easier at night, knowing that there were more evil things out there!!!!
Yo
Luna did U somehow get your name from Luna Lovegood, the loony Ravenclaw student in HP #5? How DID she get into Ravenclaw in the first place? i think that U have 2 B smart 2 get in2 Ravenclaw!! i mean she was seriously loony!!!!
KokoBoy: Kokopelli, UR my hero!!!
Oh shut up pieboy
What?? All my comments dissapeard or mayB thats just mi computer
AAAUUUUAUGHGHGHHGHGHGHGGH!!!
Is Edgar Allen Poe the Raven guy? (sorry, kind of poetically ignorant here)
AUUAUAUUAUAQUAAUAUAUAUAUAUAUASUAUAUAUA8AIUHYIRTVWY I/DOR5BY EIRU5BY IPRFTYITTPCFIFUBIO OPFTFKJGJOPHJ
Sorry about that i was just alittle crazy about my server not loading the page shutting down now
wow you’re a little hyper. are you Luna?
Wow, BurnedMuffins, hows it going?
Ya know, in Luna Lovegood’s defense, I think she is really smart, but people don’t thinkd so cause she acts differently than everyone. But look what she does in the 5th book, in the last part. (i wont actually say just in case someone here hasn’t read the book). She has to be smart to do that.
BlackRaven, have you ever heard of a guy named Edward Gorey? He was a writer, a poet and an artist. A lot of his stuff is really random, if not entirley nonsensical. He wrote short litte books with only one or two sentances on each page and a big picture to illustrate. I don’t cal them story books because a lot of time they make no sense or are really dark. Some times tho books are one long poem. It can be really funny, or really sad. He also wrote lymerics (is that how you spell it?) and books made of nothing but pictures.
Yep, Edgar Allen Poe is the Raven guy. I want to get a pet raven and name it Quoth, but Terry Prattchet already took the idea.
Oh, you know the Walrus and the Carpenter, by Lewis Carrol? Lusifer wrote a parody of it, the Seal and the Lumberjack. I’ll get her to post it.
So, I found Tom Lehrer’s address and phone number on the internet yesterday.
All hail the awesome powers of google. well, actually I used anywho. But I found anywho using google.
mmm tea….I love tea…
Excuse me, but who’s Tom Lehrer? And I like the Walrus and the Carpenter!
If renewed my subscription yesterday, is there any chance I’ll get this months issue of Muse?
Jadestone’s still asleep! And I’m still in my pajamas.
ToR (189),
I think it’s unlikely, because that issue has already been mailed. You can special-order it from the publishers.
YOU DON”T KNOW WHO TOM LEHRER IS??
*gasp* Blasphamy!
You can find out more about Tom Lehrer on the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Gaboomba. I’m sure there’s a Wikipedia entry about him, too.
Tom Lehrer is AWESOME. How can you not know and love him and all his satirical, cynical glory?!?! Easily?!?!
I thought Tom Lehrer was dead. Do you think he’d read or respond to a letter from one of us? He was 68 in 1996, I find from an Internet search, and apparently Wikipedia says he’s alive. Ye gods, he must be in his eighties by now. In the 1980s he produced the London stage musical Tomfoolery, and I don’t think he’s done much since. Oh, it mentions a camp where he goes to sing songs occasionally-Androsscoggin, in Maine.
Tom Lehre is awesome, although he has a terrible voice.
Once, when we were going to Manhatten, my Mom put on a Tom Lehere CD for us to listen to. It had one of my favorite songs, Poisening PIgeons in the Park. Later, we were crossing through a smalll park and we saw a sign that said “Please do not feed the pigeons”
I was just reading throught eh Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Gaboomba and I saw on the “Things We Like” list Archie and Mehitbel. I love Archie and Mehitbel but no one I know has ever heard of it! Yay! Some one else out there is like me…
*sniff* *wipes away tear*.
Or course, I love it but I still can’t spell to save my life…I meant Archie and Mehitabel, not Mehitbel .
I love Archie and Mehitabel! Tom Lehrer has the most glorious baritone voice to be heard on the American stage since the memorable debut of Millard Fillmore, Jessie. You’re “The Evil One”, not “The Tone-Deaf One”. I stick up for my favorite satirists.
Yay! Tom Lehere and his amazing Plgeons!
It’s fun to make fun of Jessie’s spelling and grammar mistakes.
oh oh i heard poisoning pidgeons in the park once- yeah!
wha… heya, new ppls
blackraven- i love your poetry! dark poetry + musik can be so beautiful. i usually spend spare time @ skool writing dark toned song lyrics, hoping that ill meet someone w/ the gift of composition someday that can actually turn them into musik…
Laeve me alone alreadyy!
Ooh, here’s one I just wrote. It’s more of a song than a poem.
Can’t Believe
I look out the window but I don’t see the view
I’m too busy just thinking of you
I close my eyes but I can still see
The image of you, how you used to be
You’re always at the front of my mind
I think of you, and I need to find
That face that’s always in my head
I replay over what you said
I love you, words so strong
And I just can’t believe that you are gone
I need you, words so dear
And I just can’t believe that you’re not here
Time goes by, but I don’t know
To me everything goes too slow
Seasons pass, but I don’t care
Because I look around, and you’re not there
How could you go, how could you leave
And even worse, you had to theive
You stole my heart and went away
But I won’t forget what you used to say
I love you, words so strong
And I just can’t believe that you are gone
I need you, words so dear
And I just can’t believe that you’re not here
You’re not here…….
You like?
144-Charlie works as a professer at a collage for his real job. The FBI stuff is on the side.
In reponse to Trillian of Rhodes, yes, I LOVE Edward Gorey. He has some really creepy works, like “The Insect God” and this thing about children dying in various ways. I have many books on him. He’s really creepy!
And emogrl, thanks for the compliment! You are so right, by the way. Music goes really well with dark poetry, and some people have made songs out of it.
Also, Sphynx, I think your poem was AMAZING. It reminded me of a swirling riptide at suset, when the seven-sided moon falls past a winded ridge…oh man…another poem coming on here. Anyway, it was great!
Thank you everyone for being so accomodating on my first visit here. I really didn’t think anyone would notice me.
I like the poetry Black Raven!!
“The Centennial”
and so we look out into the distance
waiting for the sweet melody
to rush inside
as it did a hundred years before
quiet and calm
yet filling your heart with energy
but the melody never comes
Sorry if it doesn’t make much sense, but dark poetry rarely does. The theme here is expectancies can’t always be fulfilled.
-BlackRaven
My sister taught me to waltz to “Poisoning Pidgeons in the Park”. Or at least she tried to but stopped when I stepped on her toe for the 17th time.

whoops. sry kricket. been doing other random stuffins…
Hey Raven and Muffins. What was that, 209, modern “poetry”?
i write very strange stream of conscience poems/ potential song lyrics. heres a sort of sappy one i wrote the other day:
beyond “love”
why kiss its pointless why hold hands it just makes it harder to walk down this road why just “be together” what is the reason why is it OK? why call + have nothing to say why go nowhere together its just wasting a day why buy the roses they dont help me at all only glamorous until all the waters gone- then theyre invisible + i wonder, would it be the same for me?
…why love just to love kiss just to kiss hold on to each other because theyres nothing else to do? if life is this way, why cant we just “not + say we did?” the world has a thin skin + were only a hollow bone inside it…
i wonder why youre never there when i call when i fall i wonder why you never want to go anywhere lend me a hand unless they all want to it wouldnt hurt you to ease my pain it wont seep into you…
make a prick just use a pin i want to make sure theres blood flowing underneath the skin. dont you even care? youre nothing yet youre there so look under my mask its old + fading youll see the pain its been shading my pleas for unmentionable reality strike true. it wouldnt hurt you to help me but ive been hurting so much helping you…
…why love just to love kiss just to kiss hold on to each other because theres nothing else to do? of life is this way why cant we just “not + say we did?” the world has a thin skin + were only a hollow bone inside it…
oh i just read #202- that was amazing! it made me think of a girl who thought she had met “the one” – + then suddenly she sees that he has been playing her the entire time, then he abandons her
augh! my LB is running around the house chasing my dog + screaming @ the top of his lungs + its getting very annoying! plus his voice is in the middle of changing, so it keeps alternating from his reg. annoying little boy voice to this weird guy voice… actually, its kind of funny
I have written some poetry, but most of it is sentimental joojoofloop. Here’s one of my works anyway.
Lallie
How do I feel so alone, when there are other people in the house?
The cranberries are red like blood, sweet like blood, sharp like blood. But blood comes from pain.
Where is the pain?
It is a paper shape given to me by a little girl who does not know me, who I do not know.
But she chose me to love me, and I do love her.
I am orange and I drift down the dark stairs in the empty house in night.
Am I a specter?
Am I an angel?
I lie down and fall into the sky while the snowflakes cover me. A lovely blanket.
Will someone catch me?
No.
I fall back in time, slowly stretching back the memories.
I’m dreaming now.
How else could I have wings?
I was suddenly inspired to write this at about 10 p.m., and had to sneak down to the computer to type it quickly. I think strangely at night.
Violetfire, do you have a mac? I do. I like macs, and my internet is safari.
Er. That looks like a string of random sentences. Sorry.
Thanks, guys! It actually makes me think moe of death than willing leaving, but whatever.
Here is some poetry that I’m making up as I type.
I am a king
A king of all
A king of happiness
a king to the tall
A king who sits
with everyone else,
who does not gloat
and sits,
and sit
with everyone else.
I’m not really a king, for all you gullable folk. But am I related to King George the III? You’ll just have to speculate.
#220-woohoo, me too sot! or should it be sot (srtapnaa)? Bit long, isn’t it. Ah well.
GAPA didn’t we have a poetry thread somewhere before? Oh vell. Methinks a new one might be needed…
i had a band concert today yes precious i did. We get to dress up (blech) and go be geeky ooh fun times. we didn’t mess up too badly.
Who’s watching the oscars tonight? ooh me me me.
I don’t have to go to skool until 12:00 tomorrow. *smirksmirk* did i tell u guys about that? Somebody messed up our test thingys so we don’t have to take them, so we get to stay home while the sophomores take the OGT. Fun fun fun!
i can sleep!
wow
amazing…
I’m bored. Amazingly bored. Incredibly bored. Bored bored bored. Nobody is online. I shall go hide in the corner and cry now. No, maybe not. It’s not really all that fun.
BORED!
ME!
ME BORED!
YODA I AM!
NO YODA I AM NOT! A DARTH YODA THERE IS!
POOEY!
OH VELL
ME GOING NOW!
BYE!
*thingies
Awesome poems, Sphinx. Are you a Sphinx Without A Secret?
Heya, all! Poetry, eh? I think I’ll try my hand…
Weeds, dry and dead in the sun
Grey, like the skeleton of what once was
And never again will be
Rustling in the heavy breeze.
A blackbird, drab as its resting place
Startled, pokes up its head
Adding death-colored life
To death-colored death.
The creature, startled at our footsteps
And our bright clothes, full of warmth, our faces
Flushed with running,
Squawks, angry with these gaudy strangers.
Spreads his wings. Now
We ourselves are outshone
By the bright red feathers, before hidden
But now showing, uncovered
In flight.
s’okay Ebeth.
220- Yes, VF and i have a mac. Go macs! We have safari too. Yay for us!
Wow I only started blogging here yesterday but this is so cool! It’s nice to read everbody’s poetry and stuff, it’s all really good. Maybe I should try some poetry… I haven’t ever written very much, outside of school assingments.
Black Raven- Thats’s so cool that you know Edward Gorey! I really like “The Object Lesson” by him, and also “The Doubtful Guest”. You might already know this but you can by collections of his work instead of just the single books. Thay are called Amphigorey, Amphigorey Too, Amphigorey Also, etc. I have a phobia of spending money, so I like these.
yes me have mac too! hooray for macs!
Ebeth what do play in band?
I play the bass clarinet, which is good fun, and the piano in the jazz band.
I know my poem’s random. I don’t think in straight lines all the time. Once, some time late at night, I thought I was two people. Another time, right after I woke up in the morning, I mused to myself that I had been sleeping in circles. Just a little taste of my perception of the world.
I will compose a lame, rhyming poem right now.
Let me sleep.
Plague my mind not with sheep.
But I’m not tired.
All the chocolate has got me wired.
I keep jumping around.
On my radio I turn low the sound.
I want to rest.
Sleep is best.
When tomorrow there’s a quiz.
You really need a zizz.
Hrmph.
Ooh, Trillian, I play clarinet too, although b-flat and not base. One does one’s best.
ooo this is good. i just mixed the last of the chai tea mix w/ some hot choklit mix + it kinda tastes like a gingerbread cookie w/ choklit frosting…
+ im relly bored. anyone want to have a mock flame war??? it could be fun.
Hey, Sphynx, Mer, King George, Phoenix — the poetry was GREAT! I’m glad you are all interested in poetry. And emogrl, your song lyrics were beautiful. Trillian, I also LOVE “The Doubtful Guest”. It is one of Gorey’s less creepy but more interesting works.
i belive you mean “All the chokit has got me wired.”
Me plays flute!
233- Will they let us?
Okay, I wrote this poem like an hour ago. It’s a lame prose, but whatever. Tell me what you think.
Endless
Trapped in here, no way to get out
I don’t know what to do
I scream until I can’t anymore
But nobody’s listening
Nobody cares
About me.
Where is everyone?
So cold, so all alone
A pale, empty moon stares down
Nobody up there
Nobody down here
With me.
I am frozen
Like my bleeding heart
I huddle up and go down
Trying to keep warm
But the ground is cold
Like me.
When there’s nowhere to go
Where do you go?
You have to go somewhere
Because life goes on
Doesn’t it?
Not me.
I’m stuck here
And there’s no getting out
No light at the end
Of the tunnel
Because there is no end
For me.
#234: thanks!
#237: they relly should
*in whining little kid voice* gapas, can we plz have a fake flame war? plz?
238- I like it! Its good for an hours write.
There are stars in the sky above the city
but no one takes notice of them
the sky is clogged
with smoke and structure
with voices and movements
with noise and light
They shine out there,
alone and apart
but, being ignored
they shrink into inky blackness,
the safety of solitude
the quiet of night
When I first wrote this poem, a long time ago, it was only one star, and it was just one verse of a longer poem. This time I felt compelled to make it multiple stars, I’m not sure why. Its the first poem Ive tried in a long time, but I was inspired by every one else here.
Me likes. I WILL write a poem at school tomarrow and dedicate it to you guys. Oh! Get this, but my book report has to be in poem form. 60 lines long.
Nice poem.
I’m bored.
Iggly oggly inkshee mangleshagaaahhla bliet piiong!
I also am bored.
Ah. How fun. again.
Maybe the GAPA should publish this stuff. Me thinks so. What’s with talking like smeegle? Down with Windows XP:evil:
And up with Windows Vista!
Macs are better (but im forced to use an XP because all my games work on it) Up with Tiger!
‘Ello, all! Still very happeeeee.
maybe we should have a poetry thread…
Yeah, kricket, we definitely should. Sphinx — your poem was really beautiful but really sad. It was cool how you put the “nobody up there\nobody down here\with me”.
Yes, Trillian, you wrote a poem! It was REALLY cool! Nice alliteration with “alone and apart” — I thought that was cool.
Are you a poem critic, blackraven, cause you’re pretty good at it?
#230 Trillian-i play trumpet. w00t! *blasts trillian’s ears out* lol
Poetry is cool guys. Trill, i like the stars one especially. great idea. And Sphinx-that’s amazingly sad and good.
I don’t have to go to skool for…an hour and a half. Yes, i will rub it in. lol
We have a weird schedule though-i only have my first 5 classes today…
The oscars.
The song.
Never. Again.
Omg
That. Song. Sucked. So. Bad.
It. Should. Not. Have. Even. Been. Nominated.
Wow.
Kricket,
Good idea! I’ve just created “Poems and Songs.”
Um…I’m not a poem critic, but that’s a good idea.
Okay, who wants to know something EVIL??? My math teacher flushes everyone’s work down the toilet and then claims it to be missing. I have just recieved a progress report for the first time and, even though I get 100s on my test and do all my homework, I have a C. This lady loses everyone’s work — when I get a lawyer, I’m going to file suit against her.
I play percussion!
thanks for the comments on my poem.
yay for band geeks! I was thinking of learning trumpet, but I also kinda want to do acoustic guitar.
Thats sucks about your math teacher, Raven. My math teacher doesn’t lose our work, but she majorly picks favorites, and they’re all boys.
Which song sucks, Ebeth?
random:
i have a science competition on saturday. on AMD (acid mine drainage). there is nothing more fun than presenting an overview of a scientific experiment (ON TRANSPARENCIES!!!) in front of a room of about 10 other compeditors and 2 or 3 judges.
please do not mistake that for sarcasm. this is the stuff i live for!
everyone just makes so many friends at such events! after all, about 700 people attend it EVERY YEAR!
so i’m completely hyper now!
this is my fourth time, i think!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES, FOURTH!!!
and i can’t wait for the GoF DVD/PSP release tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!
i play piano and guitar and flute and violin
i play piano too
happy monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
right, dont all virtually kill me now. but i luv mondays. i rarely get more than 2 hrs of sleep sunday nights, + i always end up w/ a ton of homework on mondays, but just feeling the beginning of a new week (not counting sunday b/c it seems like nothing happens on sundays…) makes me excited!
yeah. TofR: me likes the poem about stars! were you thinking of sometime in the distant future when society has built upward so much that the stars arent even visible? or something like that?
do post it!
poetry rocks unbelievably hard!
in a fantastically good way
And the Oscars, 2006. Let the lampooning begin!
Jon Stewart really was the last syllable of his name. You know? We poked fun at Tom Cruise and Brooke Shields. We’ve insulted everyone that needed an insult. And then we make bad jokes about them. More bad jokes. What? Excuse me? “In The Deep” should have been ‘In The Wastebasket’. The penguin people were very, very French. And very, very cute. Atman didn’t get an Oscar yet? Excuse me? What?!?! Who-wh-wh? Oh well, the mistake is over now and it’s all good. Meryl Streep struck back with Lily Tamlin, which was pretty funny, but were we surprised at little, bland, blonde, white-bread-loaf Reese Witherspoon winning? NO! Not in the least! She’s as pure as the driven snow. The driven-over snow, that is. With edelweiss littered around it like Jon Stewart’s pokes littered through the ceremony. Jake Gyllenhaal was-well-short next to Will Ferrell, who looked slightly lost throughout the thing, like he just stumbled in from a biker convention.
emogrl- well, I was paritially going for an environmental thing in the poem, because it does always make sad to see the skies all dirty and the stars blocked out (though its not so bad where i live). but i was also going for a metaphorical thing too, though i guess its sort of hard to see it.
I just saw GoF in the theatres for the second time yesterday, cause I went to one of the cheap cinemas that plays movies that have been out for a while. I love it! And now I can buy it!
unfortunately, I missed the oscars (though I caught up by checking the news on Wikipedia).
I thought it was actually pretty good, but I didn’t get to watch it all. The beginning was hilarious, Jon Stewart was really funny, and yeah. Way better than last year.
i absolutely LOVE john stewart’s impression of george “dub-ya” bush. huzzah for the daily show!
161-i can totally relate. and i heart poe! poor guy though…with his evil stepfather…and seeing his mother “die” on stage as a young child….and when his wife died…but it definately did make for some good literature!
182-carrol rocks.
^^yeah that was completely off subject…oh, well
What’s the subject???
I feel special…no gym tomorrow, no math tomorrow. Three cheers for the total cluelessness of whoever messed up in the office!!! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH!
I ate girl scout cookies….yuuuuummmm…i ♥ girl scout cookies. *eats more girl scout cookies* See? I’m supporting the girl scouts. Why, i have no idea. Because it tastes good.
I wonder if we’ll ever beat the february record….
are we betting phillis again?
or was that just for whenever it was…jan? dec?
whatever
i saw back to the future 2 today.
1 was way better.
right, i have nothing to say
i’m sort of doing nothing
nothing with any purpose anyway.
maybe i’ll go type a nice long time-consuming triangular sentence.
What’s the february record?
ooh girl scout cookies hehe… the white choklit macadamia nut ones are sooooo good. but we didnt get any this year! this little scout girl came to the door a week ago + asked, + my dad literally scared her off like he does w/ door to door salesppl! actually, he pretty much does that to everyone who comes to our door… poor brownie scout or daisy or wvr…
Oh my gosh,I love Story Time. That is the best book ever.
Heya! BurnedMuffins is back agian! #208(orsomething)- No, i am not Luna. i understand how U thought that, with the muffin reference.
I am on a school computer!
And now for some hyper random sentences-OMG GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ROCK!!!!! I AM A 6 GRADER AND IN PRE ALGEBRA AKA 8 GRADE MATH!!! SOME IDIOT BROUGHT 3 FISH, 2 GERBILS AND 4 PARAKEETYS TO OUR CLASSROOM!
Oh yeah soon we will have a bunny! Yay! (But a brown one, not a hotpink one… Sigh. Maybe ill bring a sharpie..)
I think the time is ripe for a Is Snape Really Evil? thread. (I wil not elaborate. o fine i will.)
nOT REALLY
I used to be an Oscar Meyer weiner. Everyone tried to eat me. I was traumatized. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
Some of the people at the Oscars are “seriously fashion-challenged,” in the words of A-C. Actually, she said “feriuffwy faffun-hallengd” because her mouth was full of popcorn, but I could tell what she meant.
yeah… great letter MontgomeryGurl (if that isn’t your real name)
It had interesting points. And it’s all actually interesting, not that interesting that you see and at first you get freaked out about it but then see the true light and find it compelling in a repulsive way. GO CONTEST as well… oh yeah…
Go MILTON RUPINES!!!!!!!
(the guy who dissed LOTR in a public letter AND GOT IT PRINTED!!!!!!!!)
276: Me too!
I also love Girl Scout Cookies, especially the lemon ones.
280: I agree!
I just feel agreeable today!
(just so you know… all of you! MUHUHUHUHAHAHAHA) (Milton Rupinees rocks. LOTR doesn’t)
270-i suppose there wasn’t ever a subject
277-snape is completely awesome. his evil is not a factor in his amazingness. then againe, i suppose that begs the question, “does eville exist?”
280-fashion-challenged? wouldn’t that depend on what one considers “fashion”?
bleah. i have a pre-calc test tomorrow…i cannot properly graph sine functions with phase-shifts.
280 – Yeah… I’m not sure “fashion-challanged” is the right term. Try a stronger adjective (But I do agree)
277 – SNAPES NOT EVIL!!!!! Although there is evidence against… like when in book 4 voldemort was going thru the list of death eaters who returned and he dismissed one for being an “agent at hogwarts” Crouch or Snape? Barty never had the tatoo, didn’t he? It wasn’t on him in the movie… But there is evidence for snape.
For example, in the first book dumbledore says “death is but the next great adventure” but when he’s about to die he says “please… severus.” Could this mean that he was convincing him to kill him and continue with a secret plan they had??? Because Voldemort thinking Dumbledore dead could be his ultimite demise! THAT’S GONNA BE HOW BOOK 7 ENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i know this isn’t really in the right place, but have you noticed a lot of crazy people read Muse? All that fan mail that Muse publishes is usually really wired. So weird and so constant that it becomes predicatble. THAT crazy. Does Muse have an affinity to crazy people? Do the editors feel a close kindredship to these “crazies”?
We normal people may never know.
286/277- i completely agree. IT HAS TO BE A PLAN. besides, dumbledore can still talk to harry, etc. through the little pictures of hogwarts headmasters. so he’s not really gone anyway….
ARE YOU CALLING ME CRAZY????? Well, WARP TO LUDICRIS SPEED!!!!!! (sir that’s dangerous) I DON’T CARE! FULL THROTTLE! (yessir) EMERGENCY STOP! WE PASSED THEM!!!!! UGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!! 5 minute break?
Yes, of course. Although wouldn’t the picture be the mind of Dumbledore at time of painting? No, wait… Hmm how do the paintings work????? AND WHY HASN’T THERE BEEN A HARRY POTTER ARTICLE/ISSUE OF MUSE YET? THere’s been LOTR and that sucked (I wish I was Milton Rupinees, cause I sure feel the same way)
Oh, and what about the people who CAN believe it’s not butter?
Thanks for the complement
Its wierd to be normal and normal to be wierd
Milton Rupines=Lupine Tremis
Yes, Lupine, not Lupin. Lupine is the flower, as immortalised in the wonderful ballad “Dennis Moore.”
We’re goibg to need another potter theard
evildude131 (289)- There was a Harry Potter article in Muse. It was in the chess issue from a loooong time ago. I think you can still order it if you want.
i feel so guilty because i have been meaning to do this 4ever and now there r gonna be sooooooo many new ppl cuz of mg’s letter. ok so hi and also crazy ppl RULE!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
hehehe k bye
I know. I have that one. But It was about chess, not HARRY POTTER. Fine line between CHESS and HARRY POTTER. What I, and millions of fans like me, want is an issue similar to the (horrible) LOTR issue. The main reason it was horrible was that it was based on something completely (insert derogative comment here) and I still feel like Milton Rupinees.
the reason I love muse is cause it caters perfectly to a weird person’s intelluctual appetite (try saying intellectual appetite 10 times fast).
I agree with 286, exept I think Dumbledore is really dead. But Snapes not evil.
I just did tally on all my old muses, in an attempt to avoid math HW. Final count: 56. Now my next project is to read every single one starting from 1997 back to front. I have found the perfect procrastination activity!
Here is some poetry I really:roll:? spent some time on!
La la, la la, la la, la la,
ta da, te dum, twas sucking my thumb,
fa la, fa la, fa la, fal la,
dip, a dat, and don’t you like that?
Okay, I admit, it’s really bad.
Trillian (296)- Hah! Did it!
Evildude(295)- Yes, but it was Harry-Potter-ified chess. And if that’s your case, then the LOTR issue wasn’t based completely on LOTR, either. Did you see the wicked cool dragon article?
I wrote “Harry Potter’s Chess Teacher,” and I say it counts.
#287: but do you know what? the misery snape encountered during his earlier years is what caused him to turn evile. rowling shows hp readers that he isnt evile to the core in the 5th book
hey something got omitted from the middle of my last post... it was after the first sentence. it was:
crazy ppl have all the real fun! yay! mrahr!
PLEASE make a potter theard!!
Harry is cool but very un-random
I’m not saying it wasn’t a good article, I am just saying that I think an article emphasizing more on the Harry Potter side of things would be cool. Like a special effects article, like from LOTR. (although the special effects in the movies are blah). I’d also like to see which ultimate villan would win from both universes (voldemort for example). And the dragon article was sweet, but the majority of the LOTR issue WAS about LOTR (otherwise it wouldn’t be the LOTR issue, would it)
Hiya, black raven! Welcome to the place of utter and total randomness(commenly known as Museblog). Your poem was soooo pretty.
Hey, this one time, g. bush made a speech on national television and he made a total fool of himself! Ex:
:the people in Iraq are “violet”(said w/ a southern drawl)
We should convert to “nuculer” power.
With liberty and justise “froll” Americans.
Harry Potter is ok, but Eragon rocks.
just so u guys know, the hp article in the chess issue was the math page. it was abopout the math in the chess scene of the 1st potter movie, how they did it so it woprked
Seriously, the editors have talked about a Harry Potter article or issue ever since H.P. & the Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone, but it’s hard to think of anything new to say. The story of the real Nicholas Flamel? Veela legends? The plagiarism controversies? I’m sure fansites have covered it all already. And you can bet JKR isn’t going to tell us any secrets.
I sold something on eBay and now I have 20 bucks!
not that anyone cares, but whatever.
yes, lets have an HP thread, i want to see what people’s theories about book 7 are!!
JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I NOW HAVE A PET TURTLE! And that my friends and I have an ongoing argument about whether Harry Potter or Eragon would win in a wizards’ duel. (It’s me for harry potter and all my other friends for Eragon.)
You know i’m going 2 be hated for this but: SNAPE IS SO TOTALLY EVIL!!!!!! Evil people have all the fun. In response to someone or other- No. Not only crazy people read Muse. I bet there are a lot of people out there like me, who aren’t really completely insane but are just going along with the crowd.
Eragon would so totally win ’cause he has all these cool fire powers and such.. All Harry has is a stupid wand. BUT Harry is still better than Eragon.
Eragon is so totally copied form Lord of the Rings!
How can anyone argue that Snape is anything but evil?Sure, he had a tough life, but still!
CCM (305),
‘Twasn’t the math page–that was about fisheye lenses.
That reminds me: I’d better bring the Back Issues section of the Fan Page up to date soon.
Also, now that this topic has accumulated more than 300 comments, some people will have trouble loading it. Time to start a new one…
