Gwendolyn had something to do with the inception of this thread, too, but we’re too lazy to go back and find out exactly what.

My theory on guys:
If you like a guy, they don’t like you back. If yuo DON’T like them, they like you.
I’ve experinced this; i know it.
anyone ever speculate about paralell universes
Hey! This was my idea to begin with! I DEMAND PARTIAL CREDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay! I’ve get off the Blog for several weeks and suddenly when I come back there’s a whole new thread just waiting to be first-posted on! Yay! Did I get first post?
Whoopsie. That was actually me. I’m getting out of practice. Who’s Ishtar, anyway?
haha i’m the first now i have you all within my power!!
if the true meaning of the expression ‘a stitch in time saves nine’ could ever be found, that would probably clear up a lot of scientific mysteries. oh sure, they say that it means if you watch your stitching you wont have to go back and pull out nintey million things afterwards and start all over again, but what about the book called a wrinkle in time? surely if time can be wrinkled, it can be stitched? or maybe it has nothing to do with anything. it was kinda a dumb book anyhow. but perhaps.
some are born great, some acheive greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon em.
and some arent great at all.
42
Don’t even get me started.
“In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.”
–Douglas Adams
“V’ha’aretz heita tohu-vavohu v’choshech all p’nei t’hom.”
–Genesis 1:2
“Achoo!”
–Great Green Arkleseizure
7- 42 what????
for you people who don’t speak hebrew- the quote from genesis that phoenix quoted means “And the earth was void and empty and darkness [was] on the surface of the depths”.
It was all me!
Ishtar was the godess of love and fertility in ancient Mesopotamia. in the epic of Gilgamesh she sorta married gilgamesh.
my theory is that the harder you attempt to find something, the less likely you are to find it, and the faster you forget to look for it, the sooner you find it, but if you try to forget about if the harder it is to find it, and looking in the mirror always makes you remember the thing you were looking for.
This doesn’t really have anything to do with the topic, but thinking of the universe made me think of space, which made me think of gravity stuff…anyway, GAPA, I have a question:
Have they ever made weightless environments on Earth? My mom said they made simulator type things underwater or something…
9- did you say “42 what”?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!?!?!!?!?
you are in need of a literature lesson. go read the hitchhikers guede to the galaxy now.
that was a direct order.
Another theory: Girls 12-13 should go out with guys a year older, since guys that age haven’t fully matured yet. Now if only I could convince myself… but sadly, I am under the spell with someone my own age.
my theory of death is as follows- eventually you will die. when that happens makem the best of it.
the sma egoes for life.
PP (14),
Yes, if you’re submerged and weigh the same as the water around you, you’re effectively weightless. That’s called “neutral buoyancy,” and it’s one of the joys of scuba diving. NASA trains astronauts in big tanks of water for that reason. The only catches are that water makes you move more slowly, and you can’t breathe it. For a more space-station-like experience, astronauts also go up in jets that make free-fall dives that feel like weightlessness to passengers inside the cabin. That method has drawbacks, too. (The most famous training jet, which was just retired, was nicknamed the “Vomit Comet.” ‘Nuff said.)
Hmm… This was a good question. I think I’ll ask Her-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named whether we can run it in the Q&A column.
Not famous people and presidents. They live forever…
To kwote a song:
“When Heros fall, they live forever”.
Not sure If Jonny Carson is a hero, though.

20- ^_^ I like that picture.
10- I want to learn Hebrew. Give me lessons!
9- How can you not know what 42 means? Go read the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the first in an increasingly inacurately named trilogy.
6- A Wrinkle in Time is not dumb! It is an excellent book!
um… shouldn’t it be she-who-must-not-be-named?
4 noble truths: (buddhism)
life is suffering
suffering is caused by desire
when you end desire you end suffering
to end desire follow the 8-fold path
how do we know we’re suffering if we haven’t got anything to relate it to?
when life hangs you a lemon…
don’t wish for a lime
stick it in a canoe hole
has anyone played/heard of wise and otherwise?
We live. We die. The Universe is out there. Everything is out there.
Why question it?
the thing about the theory of relativityis that its always explained in 2-D. can someone explain it in 3-D?
100%C. (22, ref: 18),
I was having a little grammatical fun. “She” is for subjects of a sentence, while “her” is for objects of a verb. So: “She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named asked me to do something,” but “I’ll ask Her-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to do something.”
It all depends on whether the pronoun should change when it’s part of a name. Harry Potter characters don’t think it has to, but, having studied languages in which nouns as well as pronouns are declined (i.e., they change depending on their function in a sentence), I can’t help feeling it should.
YAY! Grazie GAPAs!
Theory About Celebrity Pregnancies- They’re never really pregnant, they just go on an eating binge that lasts for nine months, or less, possibly, and then they adopt some little kid. The reason they still look so skinny after pregnancies is because they have been doing a healthy diet in their last “trimester”.
Theory About Government Flu Shots (whom my cousin Emily and my friend Evan have proven on numerous occassions)- Ever notice how they give them out just a while before the winter holidays? The shots, while protecting from influenza, contain a hormone stimulator that makes you want to buy things. The government does this to boost the economy through its unwitting denizens.
Whenever something can possibly go wrong, it will, and at the worst possible time.
Any boy your age is too immature; any boy older is a lech.
No matter how much you have, there’s always something else that you want. Sad but true.
GAPA (#18)
how did they film “Apollo 13”?
You mean the weightlessness scenes? I’ve read that they filmed them aboard the “Vomit Comet,” in very short takes (about 30 seconds at a time, if I remember correctly).
I liked that movie very much, by the way.
I hated ‘Apollo 13.’ Dunno why. Though Kevin Bacon was much better in Tremors. But that’s waaaaaaaay off topic.
16-Spill, kid! We want to know more! Hey, we’re Musers, we’re curious, and you just dropped a hint.
23-Because we want to know how it works in case it breaks.
I have a theory about teachers. It runs that they are acting on a motive that involves subjugating us into idiocy so they can continue their world domination. Why do so many people consent to become teachers? What weapon would force them to do such a thing?
Incidentally, can we ban the dating discussion from this thread? That’s what the ‘Boy Power’ and ‘Girl Power’ threads are meant for. Gomen!
Wow. It must have taken a long time.
27- Sounds like Murphy’s Law…
There weren’t many scenes that needed to be filmed in real free-fall–mainly acrobatics and floating objects. Others probably used camera angles to create the illusion.
A couple of interesting factoids about working in space: astronauts get terrible backaches because their spines stretch, and they get stuffy noses because fluids in their bodies don’t drain properly in microgravity. Oh, and space scientists talk about “microgravity,” not weightlessness: there’s a little gravity up there, though not enough to notice.
oh… cool, GAPA, srree:)
yeah..I knew there was some gravity, but not as much as Earth. Are there any planets with a higher gravity than Earth?
every person is motivated by their own wants in one way or another. no one can do a completely selfless deed. that is what makes us “human”
well, now that we can post here already *glares @ gapas* here is my first theory:
life only does one thing. what it does is both incredibly great + incredibly awful. what it does is go on. + the wisest thing to do is to simply go along w/ it, living each moment as if it was your last.
you know, someone probably thought of that exact same thing long before i did
Many types of Buddhists believe something very much like that.
the meaning of life is MONTY PYTHON ALL THE WAY *shameless plug*
it could also be to be kind and listen to your iPod and help poor people. Boy am I feeling crazy today.
At any given time, an endless aount of things are happening in botht the past nad the future. Of course, there isn’s eally an accurate future since “time” is always moving “forward”.
Hmph. Words.
37-How passive.
Anarchy is the only thing that lasts. Governments are like diets-they work for a while, but they’re unhealthy, they’re fadwagons, and not everyone likes them. Authority is always corrupt. There is no way out of the grind.
i believe that the universe created humans so that the museblog could come into existance!
: what a concept. and today’s jeopardy question is, was that stupid or not?
: try again.
KitKat: not
KitKat: not!!!
:mrgreen:: oh, i give up! WHERE ARE THOSE SCREENERS???
Authority. Odd thing. Ever hear of Milgram’s study of obedience? Creepy.
22- yeah, I’ve played that game. tis funny.
There is no meaning to life. However, there is suffering, so the best idea is to avoid that.
Only trying to svae yourself from suffering just causes more suffering.
“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind”
Ghandi
thats why in Judeism an eye for an eye isn’t taken literally, it means that if some one loses an eye, that person who caus ehte person who lost the eye to lose his eye pays the monetary value of the eye.
(thta was a really long winded sentance- is it clear enough)
The universe is gaint pie. I’m Pie-thiest
I admire your piety.
life is but a torture
death’s given to you
the universe is everything
and everything is true
words, they have no meaning
rhyming is a song
all that you can wish for
never will be wrong
me theory of livings
as follows, it states
all are are stupids
will never be greats
I believe in the “eye for an eye” in a looser context. FMA fans know “Equivalent Exchange” which means to get something, you must give something, and vise versa. I find this is true in all scenarios.
I don’t think Humans were made to eat meat
if you want a long and detailed explanation, I’ll post it.
53- Do it!
53- humans weren’t made to drink milk either. people who are lacktose intolerant are the normal people. everyone lese are just mutants.
Mutants with superpowers.
go us!
53- i agree.
im vegetarian. but not by rebellion like other people, by religion. Hindu.
cool. my sister has a friend whose this insane vegan, but cause she really believes it. only, she uses leather coach bags becasue its “an honor to be made into a coach.” go figure.
i think that the idea of revenge isnt something one could classify as “right” or “wrong.”
i believe in the whole “eye for an eye” thing
I’m lactose-intolerant, but I’m definately not normal.
anyway…humans weren’t made to eat meat:
Carnivores’ jaws go up and down. Herbivores’ jaws go up and down and side to side so they can grind meat. (Test your own jaws – they go both ways). The teeth of a carnivore are also pointed and long for tearing meat. The teeth of an herbivore are blunt/flat. We would find biting into fresh meat and pulling it off the animal, etc.
The intestines of a carnivore are very short – only about 3-6 times their body length. They are so short because they can pass the meat through without absorbing too much fat and cholesterol. Humans/herbivores have intestines that are 8-13 times as long as our body length. (We absorb everything and anything, so any fat, etc. we put through our digestive tract is absorbed.)
The stomach of a carnivore also has very strong acids. Carnivores can eat rotting, bacteria-ridden meat without getting sick. If we try to do that…..
Natural meat-eaters also like the smell of rottiing/dead meat.

1. No one does anything unless it benefits them in some way, shape, or form.
2. The Butterfly Effect.
3. Everyone should read Freakonomics.
“There is a theory that if anyone finds out what the universe is for and exactly why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. It is possible, of course, that this has already happened.”-If you don’t know by now, that’s pathetic
Awesome.
My personal views tell me not to eat meat, but I have to for health reasons. I don’t have eneough iron in my blood. I am always cold, my nails and skin are always purple, and if I lose even (comparitively. Like a pint) a little blood I faint.
How about this: the “future” has already happened, and as it “happens” to us, we’re really just remembering it.
Ugggh. Abstract theories make my stomach hurt.
Well i dont know, WAIT!!! maybe mimi knows!! *ask* oh whoops she is busy getting along with people. maybe feather knows. *ask* ugh. “donuts”. I’ll ask koko!!! *ask* YES!! he knows!! The meaning of life is *blrp* *zzzt* *cracle* yep, thats it!!
ps. I dont know, i seem to be less philosophical than the rest of youz guyz.
I eat meat, because I’ve done it for so long I just don’t think about it. The cow’s already dead. If I don’t eat it, either someone else will, or it will go to waste, and the cow would’ve died for nothing.
I eat meat…but only because my whole family eats it and if they’re serving it for dinner, I have to eat it..I’m not allowed to make something else. I am obsessed with cooking it to the right temperature, etc. to kill bacteria and other stuff like that.
I used to be anemic (from not enough iron)
my family’s vegetarian. always have been.
67: but if NOBODY eats meat, then people will stop producing it.

who caught that mismatching comment? did anyone bother to read it that far?
well anyway
i have a theory: this is my theory on having theories: get a blog.
Windows weep a lot: i caught it.
if you honestly have a serious theory about Life, the Universe, and Everything, i second the motion that you get your own blog so you can gripe about it. works for some at least.
61- Ok, well, just to play the devil’s advocate, what about onmivores?
69- Then what would they do with all the cows+chikens? You can’t just stop producing meat- theres still all those animals. Whta are you gonna do, just set them free and let them overpopulate and destroy the ecosystem?
I’m not saying that humans should eat meat. I’m just saying that there’s more to it than most people think about.
I caught it too!
BTW, 65): that is more or less true according to the chaos theory, or it will be a few billion years in the future.
“Caught it”? Like a cold? Does that mean you’re both now weeping uncontrollably?
Very funny, GAPA
*sobs, weeps, cries, sheds tears, however you want to say it, water is falling from my eyes*
Does that mean my eyes are the sky?
And the pupils are the clouds!
Wheee! *is happily delusional*
Wait, does that mean i’m god?
Woohoo!!! *starts flexing*
Yeah, i’m hyper today ok? Nvm, nvm. Eat your weetabix. And #9, i shun you. *shuns* I shun you so much i won’t even bother to look back and see who you were. Except i will because otherwise i wouldn’t know who to shun. *looks* Yoyo power? you a newbie? Anyway. I haven’t seen you before, so…*pies yoyo power* And PLEASE read the Hitchiker’s Guide. Or you will be so hopelessly confused. Plus if you read it before the 25th, you can be a frood and carry your towel around. Fun.
hahahahaha
Heh heh heh…I wonder what people will say when i show up in school with a towel…
What will you say if you seen someone else carrying a towel?
If that happens, quickly write “Muse Magazine — http://www.musefanpage.com” on a piece of paper, run over to the other towel-bearer, say “You need to know about this!” and hand him or her the note. Then vanish.
I’m trying to make all my friends bring their towels. Hunter probably will, Lizzy might if i bug her enough, Bill might, Andy probably won’t (loser!), Sarah H. might but i’m not sure…
OMG i just had an idea! I can tell testaguzza about towel day and he’ll make andy bring his towel! And then he’ll bring his too! It’s perfect! Two strags with one towel!
All set with that. Anyway.
If i see somebody i don’t know with a towel i will be shocked. I know pretty much all the geeks of the skool by now(of which there are sadly actually not menny…)
90% of the things you obsess over in regards to your physical appearance arent even noticed by most others.
i totally made up that stat, but i wouldnt be surprised if it was true
I think the government is actually monitoring the Internet, but hasn’t chosen to tell us yet. And that there’s something behind Bush we haven’t met yet.
81- I think I’d do that. And then hug them.
the government is psychotic
My philosophy of life is cheese.
72-HA!!! YOU DIDN’T! okay, okay, i’m getting technical, but actually its widows weep a lot.
you guys really would have to read it to catch this one.

ddude i’ve read HG2G and its AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! im a newbie.
ive also seen part of the movie. *throw up yarn*
WAIT!!!!!!! ive discovered something!
43.
was that right? iv eonly read it once.
Welcome, Kiki_the_great. Glad to have you here at MuseBlog.
And, um, I think 42 is more the thing.
The chinese governemnt censors the internet, so you’re part right.
I think she’s talking about the US gov.
But yeah, the chinese gov. censors google and suchlike. Well actually google censors google in china so china will pay them. I think.
here’s your complimentary newbie pie, Kiki (if youve already had one, oh well)
*pies kiki*
*pies kiki again*
OH SWEET KEY LIME!!!!!!! *slurp*
thnx Purple Panda
ps purple’s my favorite color.
Actually my favorite color is Elepondea, a color from the fifth universe.
ps the fiflth universe is made out of time, so Elepondea is one of the 13 shades of time.
bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
sorry i was experiencing trouble with my brand new HG2G copyrighted electronic vogon-poetry protector towel.
bleeeeeep-ford-bleeeeeeep-arthur-bleeeeeep
see?
I found/caught it!
pies are like ppl… you dont know what a one is like just by looking @ its crust…
well, it made sense to me.
hey, i like key lime pie too! give some here!
fine then. *cries*
yes, i am hyper. hey, im chain posting too! w00t!
My favorite color is octarine, the color of magic! Yaaaaay!
100-I want one! Wait-I’ve got six. Neever mind.
Emogrl, hyperactiveness seems to be a constant with you. Sheesh.
Pies aren’t like people. If someone threw a person at me, I’d be upset.
My favoritest color of all is the color of life, and since life has so many topics, colors are constantly swirling in and out of the “color” and giving it soul, character, and breath.
Does that make any sense at all to anyone? It made sense to me, but I’m in one of my philosophical, analytical moods.
108- that makes sense and it is cool!
My favorite colours are chartruese (though I can’t spell it and am not quite sure if I spelled it right) and plum (a deep blueish purpleish colour)
My favorite color is the blue at the top of the sky, the green of the first full leaves in spring, the shadowy dusk in summer, the crimson fallen leaves in autumn, and the pure white of snow in winter.
Question; does anyone else feel like the letters of the alphabet have colors? It’s not synesthesia, because I don’t see them in color, but they feel like different colors.
A is light red.
B is blue.
C is yellow, almost orange.
D is dark green.
E is light green.
F is light pink.
G is purple.
H is light brown.
I is white with a tinge of ice blue.
J is grape purple.
K is brick red.
L is dark blue.
M is red.
N is orange-brown.
O is yellow.
P is sort of red-pink.
Q is orange, but smooth like gold.
R is dark red, but looks like fur on a rabbit’s back.
S is yellow-green.
T is forest green.
U is bluey-purple.
V is lavender.
W is gray like rain clouds.
X is dark gray.
Y is light yellow.
Z is black.
Oh, and my theory is that the secret to the universe has already been discovered, which wiped the universe out. It has since been replaced with another universe even more bizarre.
The word “bizarre” is half black-and-white polka dots, because of the “biz” and half dark red accented with green, because of the “arre”.
W is totally dark blue.
U it totally reddish orange
and X is totally neon yellow.
My theory is that whatever somebody out there in the world truly believes in is there or happens that way or whatever. I mean if nobody believed in Buddha (sorry if I spelled that wrong) or God or whoever, then no cathedrals would be put up, no llama academies created, no religion or anything would have been established if nobody believed they were doing it for God whoever the believed in. I know that doesn’t make much sense, but try to bear with me. If Christopher Columbus hadn’t believed there was a faster way to get to china, he never would have discovered America, someone else would have(Sorry to those of you who don’t know who Columbus was, it’s just, I’m only in the fifth grade, I don;t know world history yet). If the fastest ice skater in the world didn’t believe that he was the fastest ice skater in the world, he wouldn’t trust himself to go fast, and in result he would go slow. The thing is, if you truly belive something, I think that it, whatever it is, is real. I know confusing.
were all going to die.
yes, that is my theory today
My favorite color is lunistar. That’s the color of the moon and the stars. I lik 110 I think all of it’s correct.
Time is the longest distance.
Love is the difference between the good and the great.
Time is as unnending as a circle.
Muse is the best magazine in the world.
COLUMBUS DI NOT DISCOVER AMERICA. Do you want to know what he and his men DID do, Draggy? they landed in Cuba, demanded gold the Tainos did not have, enslaved them all, raped, pilliaged and burned, shipped the Natives back to Spain as slaves, made dogs attack pregnant Native women and babies, cut off the hand of anyone who tried to resist and commited monstrosities too awful and numerous to describe on MuseBlog. Tell that to you teacher, because they are lying if they say otherwise. Columbus committed Genocide. He is no hero.
sorry. Rant reflex.
I don’t believe that we’re the only life forms in the universe. I mean, that’s just selfish. That’s like saying your the only one in the whole world that has truly silver colored hair.
I just found this thread and even though it has probably been posted at least once…

Go Otzi. Way to get on a soapbox.
46- actuly an i for an i meent if someone poked your eye out, they got their eye poked out
Ok dude who’s mad at me for saying Culumbus discovered america. Thing is, I don’t actually believe He did. You probably think I’m lying, but it’s true. And I never said that He didn’t do all that bad stuff. What I do believe, is that way back when(before you start reading this go get a globe) the human species started on the west coast of Africa. Then in some amount of time 40 or so people migrated southwards down the coast of Africa went up the East coast of Africa. Way back when, there was a land/ice bridge where the red sea is now. So when the decendents of the origonal 40 or so people got to what we now call Southern Egypt, they turned Northeast for whatever reason. Now our travelers are somewhere in Suadi Arabia. Oh forget it. It would take too long to tell you the whole thing, but basicaly they endup colonising Africa and Asia. Now way up north in Russia( the part that’s really close to Alaska, there’s a land bridge in that time. So the desendendts of our 40 or so people stumble across America. So therefor, I do not believe Christopher Columbus found America, But the decendendts of our 40 people who started immigrating from africa. So are you still mad at me for posting that.
Sorry, I made a mistake on the Africa part. what I ment to say is that they went southward down the west coast of africa and then went northwards up the eastern coast of Africa. Man I’m getting all caught up in my theories.
Oh and by the way, Otzi, I don’t have a teacher, I’m homeschooled.
#117: Amen.
Why is every body so mad at me??? for heavens sake I’m only in the Fifth grade. Does anyone in the world take the slightest bit of pitty for me. Anyone think my theories have the slightest bit of truth in them? Guys, I’m a fellow muser. Have mercy!!!!
OK, Dragon Eye, sorry. I’m just a bit of a stickler for that kind of stuff. I’m not mad at you. Much. And I know where Russia is. And I also know how American Indians ended up in America. And how we all started in Africa. And how we adapted to our surroundings, so as to look different. I just have this little reflex inside me that taps out a custom made rant every time I get angry. Which can be useful.
P.S. I’m not a dude. I’m a girl. Remember that.
123- Otzi is not a Dude shell get mad at u. but at least its not queenie, she scares me
The first European to discover America was Lief Ericson.
dude, girls can be called dudes. Like dude. Totally dude.
Guess what otzi, I’m a girl too. It’s just the fact I have a really annoying brother that calles me dude all the time so I’m pretty used to getting called a dude even though I’m a girl.
WAAAH! Why did no one give me a newbie pie! I’m new!WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Dude, i have dude friends who are girl dudes who call me dude all the time, and call my dude friends dudes and dude and where in middle-earth did the word dude come from anyway? It looks like dud. Except wiser (see Advice thread)
DudeOk enough with the dudes…for now…MWAHAHAHAHAAnyway we had “circle time” in history today ie a discussion and we debated the whole Iran thing. It was pretty interesting. I like discussionness and suchlike…
here you go, hpb lover!!!!!
*SPLAT*
America was already there, and inhabited. So, technically, it didn’t have to be discovered. Besides, the Vikings got to Newfoundland waaaaaaay before Columbus.
anyway…110- Yeah, I know what you mean. But some of my colours are slightly different.
A is light red.
B is sky blue.
C is darke green.
D is mac’n’cheese yellow.
E is neon green.
F is purple.
G is green-brown.
H is brown-yellow.
I is pale blue.
J is pinkish red.
K is purple with yellow highlights.
L is tan.
M is fuschia.
N is darke brown.

X is black with white streaks.
Y is neon yellow.
Z is apple-red.
Dude…..like dude ranches. Like a wannabe cowboy-type-rodeo-person…like city people who think they’re rodeo-tastic…
123-Dragon Eye, baby, we are discussing the European discovery of America, which began unequivocally with the Vikings and Wineland, not to be confused with Rhineland. And kindly stop telling me to ‘believe in myself.’ I’ve had that message shoved into me since I can remember, and quite frankly, if I give myself over to frank introspection, I must candidly admit that there isn’t anything to believe in.
My theory is that Martin Luther King was not assassinated, but shot by the federal government because he was too inflammatory. The man convicted for the crime has been forgiven by the King family, as they think the murder was staged. I’d like to hear your opinions on this.
um, dudes…do any of you actually know what dude means?
um…i dont relly feel like posting it, but you could look it up! heh heh…
a good theory:
every person should be able to voice their own opinions w/o being shunned. opinions dont hurt anyone. however, lies often do.
once againe:
Dude…..like dude ranches. Like a wannabe cowboy-type-rodeo-person…like city people who think they’re rodeo-tastic…
ok. *gets dictionary*
hahaha “dandy” “fop” “a city fellow … who is vacationing on a ranch”

(138) King not assassinated? Interesting. I’d like to see hard evidence first. But it sounds plausible to me.
also, I don;t think Dragon Eye’s message was simply the “believe in yourself” shpeel. You should give people’s a bit more of a chance.. She can correct me if I’m wrong,but I think she was more like saying that the people who actually have the mindpower to think of doing something are the only people who will actually end up doing it. (sort of like natural selection)
It’s not really the gooey “believe in yourself”, it’s more just a logical conclusion.
(130) Leif Eriksson was the first to land here. Bjorni (or however you spell his name) actually sighted America before him, but didnt land on it.
theory of brain #509480192834701938470193840935691837010193847013.8.5.3.3.5.6.6.78.9.5.45:
If you cut your offsprings brain open, you may find something you swallowed when you were 3.
146- the yiddish word that you used in the correct context is actually spelled shpiel. I know, I m part russian.
147-That would be child abuse. How could you cut someone’s brain open?
148-Zarquon! I have been in error my whole life! Oh woe is me. I have things to edit, and people to remonstrance-on my jump drive, which is at home.
How did you get your color-letter associations? I’ve never heard of that before. I have other, embarrassing associations I give to syllables. For example, the word “parsley” has a pinched and bony nose because the ‘pars’ is like “parsimonious” which is an old-lady word. However, the ‘sley’ means it has a potbelly stomach like a fat old man. The word “butterfly”, however, is perpetually fond of flowy chiffon clothing that makes it look fat and ugly. Like Trinny and Susannah on steroids.
147-Huh?
I just had a brilliant revelation while I was in the shower.
It’s so simple.
Completely obvious, and yet… so enlightening.
(to me at least.)
You only need to do one really virtuous thing to make yourself feel like a really good person for the rest of the day.
SO, if you do one virtuous thing a day, you will always feel good about yourself!
Hooray!
(ok, I know there are some serious flaws. whatever)
Hm. Yes, Skipper Nancy, but what is the POINT ? Does it make you beter than other boys? ect.
Anyone who cogs the reffe gets 42 extra HPB points.
146- and don’t forget the Chinese, who dropped anchor here (literally!) a long time before Columbus.
(152, Queen Juiletaini the Froody) What do you mean other boys? Im a girl…
But that is not the point. You misunderstood me.
No, the point was (and it was really more of a joke, because obviously you need to do more than one vitruous thing a day to feel good about yourself) was that I was that I had come up with another way of justifying that I’m a lazy bum.
…..Just forget it.
Theories?? Coool!!! *Get’s even more hyper than she was before (from finding that the GPAs made a thread for “by the musers”*
Ever notice that sometimes something halarious happens and a few people don’t laugh? And sometimes people laugh at things that are barely funny. (like when I laughed about finding a paper clip that looked like a purple foot) Well, my theory is that people go through cycles that dertrmine how likely they are to laugh at something funny. Hyperness is also a factor, because when you’re hyper you’ll laugh at anything. But when you are in a good mood but don’t l;augh you’re at one end and when you laugh at wierd stuff you’re an the top. People cycle through different parts of the range, which effects people’s sence of humor.
(144) Do you see letters as colors, too? I do a little, but I usually just notice it if each letter is a different color and something is the wrong color. Some letters are colorless.
A red
B blue
C yellow
D green
E pale orange? not a strong color
F colorless, but not green, blue or purple
G green
H red
I colorless, not red, bright orange or purple. Not too yellow.
J pale blue / navy
K Sometimes orange, depending on what’s arround it
L green
M magenta???
N purpleish
O blue / purple
P magenta on its own, colorless in a word
Q greenish???
R green
S blue
T blue
U purple sometimes, or colorless
V greenish
W green
X no Idea
Y yellow
Z green???
1 red
2 blue
(familiar???)
3 yellow – orange
4 I can’t tell
5 blue
6 colorless
7 green
8 red or orange
9 redish???
10 no Idea
110 – It’s like that for me, my sister and my neighbors Rosie and Lena. I asked my mom, too and she doesn’t have it and can’t remember ever naving it. She thinks I’m crazy. Mabe you loose it after puberty? It’s cool either way. My sister and I spent hours arguing over B – she thinks it’s ORANGE!!!
By the way, what color is the name Ali? Most people with synesthesia agree that it’s some shade of red (not pink) , and I agree.
Really? I think I thought more of a dark, saphire blue. But red makes sense, too, I guess.
Skipper, can you tell me what the name “Holly” would look like? I always thought that it would look like a little girl with curly dark brown hair, hazelly green eyes, and very black eyelashes. She would be wearing a blue pinic-cloth patterned dress with a hoop skirt that stopped at her knees and a white apron with yellow flowers stitched onto it. She’d have poofy sleeves with lace trimming, and she’d also have long socks with lace trimming. Brown loafers. And she would be holding a bright yellow parousel with- you guessed it- lace trimmings. You were kind of talking about colors rather than specific appearances, but I’d like to know.
Okay everyone, I’ve composed a “quiz”. It’s really a list of random words. I want to know what you envision as you read these words.

The Beginning of the world-
Genisis 1-
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
life-live to serve god
death-go to heaven or hell
heaven=has faith in god, trusts in him. beileves he came to die to forgive our sins etc.
hell= everything else besides what you to to go to heaven heavven
(158)
Sorry I took so long to read that Gwen, I forgot about this thread.
OK.
Holly? Holly would be girl with black hair, tied back in a pony tail. She would be wearing dark blue, and have long legs and arms. Long lashes, hazel eyes. And she would be sort of sharp, clever looking. That’s what I thought of.
I think it’s cool that you had such a detailed desription for one name.

Hypnotize: Thin, uneven stripes that morhp into small spots. Neon yellow, bright red and purple. A circus tent.
Masquerade: green velvet with red silk ruffled trimming, and round pearls.
Antidisestablishmentarianism A hut. A rough wooden hut, and muddy light brown dirt. And some weeds.
Sequoia A turquise sequen.
Sports Yellow. Big. Orange, with light green. Grass cuttings.
MoronSomething round and rolling. Green and redand greyblue and the painting “Scream” and something hollow. A wooden door.
Idiosyncracy bumps. black and shiny, but with mottled purple, blue and yellow. Steel.
Repetoire Deep purple. Choklit. Wood.
Kitty little, bright colred flowers, red hair.
IdeaAn egg. The sun.

what do I look like to you?
#164: that is very good imagery!
i dont mean to change this topic, but i actually hav another theory…one has the strangest dreams/thoughts when under the weather.
*goes into preaching mode*
ok, chillun, this rant is about the truth . so you think you know the truth, huh? you think you can handle the truth, whats that i hear you say, son? well. i am right pleased to say that i am here to tell you youngins about the truth, and i say *shakes fist* i say i am gonna tell yall right now!
the truth is always there, whether you like it or not. its there even when you choose to ignore it. there are a lot of truths we forget exist b/c so many ppl choose to ignore them…b/c were “lying to forget” (quoting lacuna coil here). white lies fit in here, b/c youre lying/being lied to – in order to ignore something you dont want to think about. the truth may not always be “good,” but hiding from it will only make things worse.
and that, my disiples, is the truth – whether you like it or not.
whew. *panting*
( sry
)
Just out of curiosity, what would you imagine me to look like? Or someone with the name Klara?
Lavender: The color. Someone washing her hands in a dimly lit, comfortable room. The soap smells like lavender.
Hypnotize: Charisma. Someone or something with the power to absolutely fascinate and captivate. A golden pocketwatch on a chain swinging back and forth in front of me. Losing conciousness.
Masquerade: A quiet girl who has established a certain image for herself that veils a darker personality hidden within.
Antidisestablishmentarianism: A rebellious newspaper article, fully expressing the author’s opinion regardless of the consequences. A deep, complex theory.
Sequoia: A tall, old, green and leafy tree providing shade against the summer sun. A sequence of words or numbers on paper.
Sports: Mindless running and sweating. Overpriced hot dogs and screaming fans.
Moron: Preppy girl who doesn’t care about anything but makeup.
Idiosyncracy: Oddness, uniqueness, eccentricity, power.
Repetoire: Secretary’s schedule for the day.
Kitty: Athletic female thief dressed in black running by night from the police.
Idea: A formless concept taken shape. Imaginary friend.
Those are some really strange associations! That was an interesting exercise.
What do you think I look like?
Yeah, Gwen, how do come up with such clear images! It’s cool.
emogrl, I like your theory about truth. Here’s what I have to say about truth:
You can never know if what you have is the truth. You can only know what is the most logical conclusion based on information you have. It’s important to come as close to the truth as possible, while remembering that you never know for sure, and tha tyou could be completely wrong.
Otzi, here how I imagine you:
Tall, straight dark blondish hair that is very long. Erm… green eyes,
wearing a green shirt with a wide neckine and jeans. Your hair is down. Braces, maybe. Tan. Long limbs.
EtA/ Klara:
Tan complexion. Dark hair, brown or black and wavy. Silver earings with blue stones in them. When you smile, it is a full smile. Wearing a jacket of some type.
I’m sure Gwen would some up with much more detailed descriptions, but I’m not so good at this.
Gwendolyn:
Wavy light brown hair, blue eyes, some freckles. Hair is about shoulder length. Wearing blue. Brown eyes. Rectangular glasses with wire rims.
#170: youre right! – b/c nothing can ever be completely proven
what about me? imagine me! I’m curious!
Ooh, try me too!!!
170- Wow! I never envisioned that’s what the name “Gwendolyn” looked like! That sounds more like me in real life.
To everyone who’s been asking, I honestly don’t know just how I can imagine so vividly. I’m thinking it has something to do with all of the Anne of Green Gables books I’ve read (there’s more description in those things than a fancy, pompous hotel brochure) and the fact that I am mainly a visual learner. I can create images better that way, I guess.
Name: Elasse~Adael (because she asked first)
Short golden bob (just above chin) that is slightly wavy. Always seems to stay in the exactly same position with the exactly same amount of light and shadow weaved in and out of the curls. Caring eyes the color of the most radiant violets of the season. Long lashes, but a very light color. Good natural pink-ish red-ish color in cheeks. Ordinary mouth. A tanned outdoorsy sort of complexion. Think of a white lady who knows just the right amount of sunscreen to put on at the pool, so she has a healthy glow but no sunburn afterwards. Graceful arms and legs that are just a smidge shorter than average. Normal weight. Wears jeans that are a little faded in the legs, but fit perfectly. Is forever wearing a pastel colored T-shirt. Looks to be about 15.
Name: Otzi
Very straight, thin black hair that comes down to middle of back. Is always worn in a very low ponytail. Black eyes that are calm, but very bold. Has small nose. Also has a mouth that is a pearly pink color and is perfect for demure smiles that confuse people. Skin that is not quite pale but not quite like the skin my vision of Elasse~Adael has. Definitely very leggy, a tad uncoordinated. Wears dark denim jacket that cuts off just before naval level, with tons of funny, interesting, or just plain obscure buttons. Wears a white short-sleeve shirt, occasionally one with mod-looking Japanese writing on it. Always wears jeans.
Mwahaha. I’ll do Ebeth later. I love seeing you guys beg me to do something.
I’ll do Gwendolyn.
Name: Gwendolyn.
Has wavy reddish lightbrown hair that is always blowing in the wind. There are freckles on her face. She has deep green eyes. She is short and of normal weight. Her skin is tan. She wears long loose-ish but slightly fitted shirts that are comfortable with embroidered patterns on the shoulder of the shirts. The shirts are in bold colours. She wears knee length jeans skirts and sandals.
Name: Ebeth
Straight dark brown hair. Hazel eyes. Tall and slender with pale skin. She likes to wear shirts with pretty patterns on the front and dark skirts with big buttons on them. likes to collect shoes.
Does someone else want to do me? I’d like to see what others see me as and I’m willing to describe you if you like. I think it is kind of fun.
Oh! I didn’t see Otzi’s request. Sorry!
Name: Otzi
Dark brown almost black hair in braids. Wears a necklace with a emerald green stone around her neck. Wears black jackets made out of that sort of thick denim jacket-y material that is not denim but makes jackets. Wearing a cordoroy (sp?) skirt that is dark brown and knee length. Wearing a bold coloured t-shirt. Skin is pale tan. average height, average weight.
you can imagine me if you want…well, that probably wont be much of a challenge though
Name: emogrl
Brownish hair in braids. Jeans, black bag with those buttons that have messages on them. Black tshirt. Average height and weight blue eyes.
I knew I should have been named Gwendolyn. All of your descriptions of me are nearly identical to me in real life. It’s so weird!
Name: Ebeth
Has very copper hair that is soft and frizzes easily. A little wild. Perfectly straight bangs hang just above her eyebrows. She has mocha-hazelnut colored eyes that seem to always have shimmerings of light dancing in and out of them. Has a normal nose. There is a smattering of pale reddish freckles running across the bridge of her nose. To me, she kind of looks like a teenage version of Elizabeth I transformed into a modern teenager, complete with witty banter and jokes. She wears a somewhat fitted blue embroidered shirt with lovely gold thread designs stitched into the shiny azure fabric. The shirt has really pretty bell sleeves with the same designs on them. She wears something similar to black gauchos, but they are longer. Still loose-fitting, though. Her limbs are all normal, but she herself is a little short.
This is what the name Gwendolyn- not me, or anyone named Gwendolyn- looks like in my mind.
Name: Gwendolyn
Has long, glossy chestnut hair that is tied back with a lacey paisley scarf that is a bit sooty. Has worried, tired, but still somehow happy amethyst eyes, and pink-y nude pantyhose colored lips. Wears a simple necklace with plain wooden beads at throat. She wears a very frumpled but still very clean brown dress with a creme apron. The skirt reaches the floor and drowns out her footfalls. She is very tall and graceful.
This is cool.
emogrl
Dark, frizzy hair that is cut pretty short and sometimes tied back. Tall. Wears a black shirt and paint spattered jeans. Has green hazel eyes and a straight nose.
Ebeth
Medium height, long limbs. Brown hair, freckles. Blue eyes that smile with the rest of the face. Long fingers that are very good at being devious.
I have more to add to what I said about eccentric:
hair is curly, dark and worn partially up with bits haning down. A blue strip of cloth is tied in the hair. Wering a dark green tank top.
Here’s what I think “Nancy” looks like (but this isn’t what I look like):
Brown-blonde chin length hair and tan skin from being outdoors a lot. Freckles, a turned up at the tip nose. Mid calf length brown pants and a simple button up short sleave shirt. Callused hands. Eyes that are wild and imaginative.
What do you guys think I look like?
What is the meaning of life?
Well, it depends on who you are. There is no real set meaning; You make it for yourself. Study science? That’s the meaning of life. Find the best values on Javanese bananas? That’s the meaning of life. Eat, sleep, drink beer, get a TV to watch the game and some erotica, and defecate? That’s the meaning of life.
What is the purpose of dying?
Well, it keeps things in balance, and it’s fun to see your enemies kick the bucket.
How did the universe come into being?
Umm… A big bang.
Why did the universe come into being?
It just happened. I mean, when you think about it, there isn’t really any reason why we’re here, right?
On another note, I’ll play along with the “name” thing. My first name’s Yuki; What’s that sound like?
Here’s what the name Yuki puts into my mind:
Girl with short black hair that is cut stylishly short and layered. Red and white striped tank top. Dark eyes that smile. Round red earings.
The meaning of life is forty-two. We’ve established this. But the secret of life is to become very, very good at something that’s very, very hard to do.
Nancy. Blonde pageboy, diamond earrings, sparkly halter top, leather pants, red vinyl pumps. Nude lipstick, wide eyes, degree in something painfully boring, French-manicured hands.
Yuki sounds like the Japanese girlfriend of your best friend, who leaves lingerie in the bathroom and is constantly sitting on couches eating soba noodles gracefully with chopsticks and watching TV.
Gwendolyn conjures up the sort of actress who is perpetually playing Lady Macbeth and wears the sort of things that are ‘Miss Marian’ from “The Music Man.”
Emogrl has short, shaggy brown hair, jeans, Vans, and a gray hooded sweatshirt. She’s the nondescript little sister of your favorite anime guy. Has a treehouse painted black and decorated with Warhol prints. Closet Beatnik. Has read ‘Lolita’ twice.
Ebeth wears a a pink tube, dark jeans, and serious-looking loafer shoes, with long black shiny straight hair and bland makeup. Secretly major part of SDS and often seen in taffeta for church benefits. Knows all Billy Joel songs. Girlfriend or sister of your favorite coworker.
Robert is your brother-in-law, the steady and dependable guy who handles stress well and probably has some secret talent. He also makes a mean fettucini, and has a green thumb, as well as chestnut hair and wire-rim glasses.
Rosanne is your best friend’s other friend, a practical person who carries two handkerchiefs in a pencil skirt and white blouse. Terribly good at Sting imitations and knows all the details to everything. Gives presents wrapped in comic strips. The sort of girl you want your brother to marry.
This is interesting. It’s hard to tell when the image described is based off the name alone or the people who go with the name. (I sincerely hope I don’t end up like QJ’s description of the name Nancy).
what about me?
Queenie J, you forgot to do me! I’ll do you though
Juliette has curly dark brown auburnish hair and green eyes. grrr.. it is hard to do someone that you have an idea of what they actually look like.
Nancy, my fellow Sally- short dark blonde hair green eyes. wears capri jeans and orange t shirts. always carring a book or a note book in a colourfull bag/purse. wears earrings that she made herself everyday.
Please describe me! I’m curious if you guys will agree on what I look like!
FantasyFan- dark brown hair in braids, deep green t-shirt, jeans. Always wears sliver necklace. Dark brown eyes. wears some bracelets on right wrist. average height and weight.
elassë~adael – light blonde hair and two braids. green eyes. wearing gouchos and a peasant top with sapphire necklace and horn rimmed glasses.
Does anyone think I look differently than elassë described me??? there are like 6 emogrl descriptions! I feel SO left out! *sniffle*
I described you in 170 and Gwen did in 174, Otzi. They’re very different form what e~a said.
not that i usually wear braids, but otherwise not to bad!
Oh. Thanks. i wasn’t looking hard enough…
*goes off and feels bad*
very interseting. 170 came almost close…
I only have two! Describe me! I’ve described most of you!
#184 : thats fairly close
i shall make an attempt
Otzi: shoulder length straight blond hair ( ok so you mentioned your hair colour on another thread…) . grey eyes. light pink “message” shirt that has something printed on it regarding a world issue. ratted jeans. clogs.
Nancy: almost-straight brown hair just past chin. likes to wear sweaters. red scarf + navy blue beret.
Wow. This is interesting! Tank yew everybody who described me! Although i will say two of you gave me freckles where i have none.
Shall we compare to real life now, or not? See how good y’all are? Or would you prefer comfortable ignorance?
e~a (194) You have three; look at my description of you in post 170.
So, no one has come close to what I look like, which makes this even more fun.
Gwendolyn, you haven’t done me yet… *whinewhine*
The Skipper: chestnut brown hair in a rosie the riveter bob. Dark Blue jacket with a silver pin in the shape of a music notey type thingie. Khakis and shiny boots. Men’s wristwatch.
The Skipper Nancy: Nnnnno. I’m a guy. Yuki is a guy’s name in Japan. It means “intelligent boy” or something close. Of course, that’s a Yuki with an extra “u” Hirigana (like an alphabet) character in it. (ゆã†ã with ㆠbeing the extra “u”.) Without that extra character, it means “snow”. (ゆã.)
wow, that’s akward. Well, is uppose a boy COULD leave lingerie in the bathroom and eat Soba noodles gracefully.
It would just be a different kind of lingerie.
uh, what are you talking about?!?!??!?! i am confuzzled
nope I only have 174 and 189. 170 is describing Eccentric the Afterthought, EtA not E~A.
Skippy, I did you on 161!
Lessee how y’all did…
by E-A
Straight dark brown hair.That’s right! Hazel eyes. Nope, sorry. Tall and slender with pale skin. Um…short. Skin isn’t that pale. Sort of though. She likes to wear shirts with pretty patterns on the front and dark skirts with big buttons on them. likes to collect shoes. No skirts. Shirts w/pretty patterns are kewl. Shoes, i don’t like collecting really. I have one pair of shoes, one pair of sandals, and one pair of flip-flops. That’s about it.
Nice job though!
by Gwen
Has very copper hair that is soft and frizzes easily. Nope. Brown hair. Straight. A little wild. Very true. Perfectly straight bangs hang just above her eyebrows. Got that one right She has mocha-hazelnut colored eyes that seem to always have shimmerings of light dancing in and out of them. Mine eyes are brownish yes. However, i can’t actually see them so i don’t know much about shimmerings of light and suchlike. Unknown. Has a normal nose. Seems normal to me… There is a smattering of pale reddish freckles running across the bridge of her nose. No freckles, no. To me, she kind of looks like a teenage version of Elizabeth I transformed into a modern teenager, complete with witty banter and jokes. Hmm…Idk. Mebbe, yah. But then i don’t know much about Queen Elizabeth’s personality. She wears a somewhat fitted blue embroidered shirt with lovely gold thread designs stitched into the shiny azure fabric. The shirt has really pretty bell sleeves with the same designs on them. Not really, no. T-shirts mostly. But yeah, sometimes when i feel like it i guess. She wears something similar to black gauchos, but they are longer. Still loose-fitting, though. I assume these are pants? Then yes, i suppose. I don’t know what they are exactly… Her limbs are all normal, but she herself is a little short. Very true.
Nice! Lot of it vewwy good! *salutes*
by Skipper Nancy
Although still not as fast as my mom. But then, she’s insanely good.
Medium height, long limbs. bit short, but i suppose not extremely so, so yeah. I don’t know that my limbs are particularly long though. Brown hair, freckles. Brown hair, no freckles. Blue eyes that smile with the rest of the face. Brown eyes. As for the smiling stuff, as i said in gwen’s thing i think it was, i have no idea. I don’t usually watch my eyes, such a thing being absolutely impossible. Long fingers that are very good at being devious. Mwahaha, deviousness. Well my fingers are a bit long i guess. I used to play piano, and i’m killer at typing.
by queen j (Ok i realize this is for the name, not me, but whatev)
Ebeth wears a a pink tube, dark jeans, and serious-looking loafer shoes, Pink, probably not. Jeans, absolutely. Loafer shoes, sure. with long black shiny straight hair and bland makeup. No makeup. No way. Ergh. Hair is brown, and short. Secretly major part of SDS and often seen in taffeta for church benefits. Uh…no… Knows all Billy Joel songs. Yes! Absolutely! Girlfriend or sister of your favorite coworker. ???
Wow, you people are pretty amazing!
You should all do zat so we can see how everybody did on urs!!! Twould be most interesting.
Actually, we should put some of this on the H2GMB too.
Hmmm…*ponders*
*reads 161* Oops, sorry Gwen, I forgot you’d done that one!
200 *oops* beg your pardon. very ignorant of me. I’m embarrased. Hey at least I didn’t say you left lingerie in the bathroom.
203 Ak sorry! I’ll do you then:
E~A, fellow Sally
Shoulder length straight layered very hed hair, but not orangy red. (Auburn). a delicate nose with freckles. Green eyes. Tall and wearing a blue shirt. Hair is tied up in a pony tail.
I just realized that was 3 apologies in a row. Yeesh, I was out of it yesterday.
I guess I’ll do what Ebeth did, except some of these are more the decsription of the name than the person, but whatever.
Gwendolyn
Nancy looks like a tall girl with perfect perm hair that is the color of honey mixed with a hint of maple syrup. Not exactly, though it goes well with the name Nancy. I don’t have honey colored hair or a perm. She is wearing a white trench coat tied with a white sash. Many buttons. Not the type of thing I wear usually, though I like trench coats. Maybe I would wear one if I could pull it off. She’s also wearing shiny white soft leather boots with two inch stilletto heels. I don’t like wearing heels really, and I don;t have much occasion to wear any type of boots. Bright blue eyes. Perfectly white, straight teeth. Brown eyes. My teeth are sraight-ish but not exactly perfectly white.
I liked that description, and I think it went well with the name Nancy, Gwen!
I have to go now, and I think I’ll wait to do more to see if any one else describes me.

Queenie J., you got me! At least the part about wrapping presents with the funny pages. Lately I’ve been practicing a variation on that theme though: wrapping presents with pages from an old Kenny Scharf calendar.

what’s that supposed to mean?
(22)We’re taking turns describing what we think we/our names look like.
ah… i have no idea. skipper nancy u have brown hair… that’s all i can think of. and you wear jeans and…. dunno. i’m not good at stuff like this. actually i am, but not when it’s 90 outside and humid and my brain gets all muggy…
I have a theory! What if I am the only actual MuseBlogger on this ENTIRE BLOG and the GAPAs are posing cleverly as everyone else, and everytime I talk, it is not to Skipper or Otzi or Jadestone or (very long list of supposed MBers), but I am in fact talking to Robert Coontz and Roseanne Spector?????????!!!! Or what if the GAPAs are still really the MBers, but the people who should be MBers actually take turns being the GAPAs??????!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rosanne and I are too busy to impersonate all those MBers, so that version of the theory can’t be true. It’s much more likely that they’re all impersonating us.
How do I know you’re really the GAPA?????? What if you’re a MBer phony????????? AAARRGGHHH!!!!! *is carted off to loony bin*
*sitting in her room, cackling evilly, rubbing hands together, thinking how clever it is of herself to be impersonating every person on the blog at once besided Gwen*
*reads Gwen’s posts*
ZARK! SHe’s seen through my clever plot!
*begins plotting a new way to fool innocent musers*
MHAHAHAHAHahahahahah!
no, i mean the dresses like a skater bit. and by the way, i’m the same person as someone else on the blog, just different names. (MAPs, if you know [but i’m not sure how you would ’cause i’m using a different e-mail] don’t tell, please.)
life is like a grapefruit. death is a skeleton dude who rides around on a horse named binky. the universe is infinite. everything is incomprehensible.
I think I know why we’re imperfect. But I’m not sure if this is allowed on MuseBlog so I’ll write it and If it is edited or not there, that’s okay.
*Ahem*
Someone told me once that if you married your sibling and had a child that it would be imperfect (Yes I know it is gross but bear with me.) Adam and eve had children that multiplied. Get the picture?
So, if there had been another couple other than Adam and Eve, and Adam and Eve’s kids had had kids with the children of this other couple, we would be perfect? What is perfect? What is imperfect?
What is going on???!!
