ALWAYS take the chance to become famous ( like writing a letter to muse)
About famous, anyone done the latest muse contest? Its the one called Flourish and blotts. I just sent mine in. So just in case you see one by Nicole (sorry, can’t tell you my last name) that’s me.
French Cafe’s
*gag gag gag gag gag*
thts my french hw topic. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
mi advice is dont put a bougus jumble of letters in the email box. it gives you a you need to enter a valid e-mail adress sign. i bet im the first person to ever get that sign. *grins like the idiot she is*
PSPoP (14),
Aha! Sounds as if you’re ripe for the advice I offered over on Muse How-Tos.
Possible starting points: Absinthe. Decadent artists, writers, and poets. Alienated philosophers. Everybody chain-smoking. Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir. Nazi-occupied Paris. There’s plenty of material.
Robert- its already done.
here it is for every one to hate
~FRENCH CAFÉ~
By Zoe
In France, cafés are the center of social life. Cafés are common, and have many customers. In a French café, you would never be bored. There are bright books and magazines to buy, a huge array of delectable pastries, and the entire world around you.
Cafés will usually be found on every single street in France. Cafés look like a little store, and are known for their little tables in front that are just right for two people to comfortably sit at. People go to cafés to relax, meet up with friends, and to just sit and life rush past you. Cafés are noisy, filled with happy chatter.
Inside a café, there are many things to eat. You might enjoy fresh pastries in the morning, or a regular lunch of hamburgers at lunch. Some café’s offer dinner, and some are even open 24 hours a day!
French cafés smell like nothing you have ever smelled before. The delicate smell of pastry is mixed in with the pungent smell of herbs and other foods. It is very relaxing, and a great way to calm yourself.
So if you are ever in France, remember, STOP AT A CAFÉ!
wha…heyyyyy…
i definitely asked for an advice thread @ least 2 times back in february, and i was definitely ignored!
but thats ok! i mean, no one listens to me anyhow…*sigh* lets all ignore emogrl now…shes obviously not worth listening to…
*goes outside to eat worms*
*comes back inside*
oh oh my advice: go to the random thread, b/c im about to post a relly random, relly entertaining story.
*sprints to the random thread*
this from klaus the extremely german blacksmith:
> a third degree burn can ruin your whole day.
> life is harder when youre stupid
> [not verbally said but implied] make decorative things out of metal and sell them for way more than they are worth, and youve got an honest living.
Absinthe? I know only one person, besides myself, who could tell you what it is without resorting to Google, and she’s my mother. And Albert Camus is really sick of being overdiscussed.
I haven’t seen him on the Muse RPG lately. Or ever.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
:?:: Don’t obsess over getting the first post. Not even in French. That is my advice.
:!:: Advice… hmm… how about “don’t start Penty-chan in on her first-post crusades?”
21- I could.
Advice: if its green and has teeth, DON’T DO IT.
Advice: Never send emails when you’re angry. If you’re really upset at the person you’re sending it to, put it in the “draft” folder for a day. This will save you a lot of friends, time (explaining yourself, and reading their angry replies), and energy.
My advice for the day:
-Start studying for the test the day you get the material/whenever you know you’re going to get one
-When proof-reading/editing a draft or something, read it out loud. You might get something like this that you may not notice until you read it aloud:
I ate a salad with green beans and
and tomatoes.
Advice. I’m chock full of advice.
Museblog advice:
Don’t use more than three exclamation points in a sentence, ever. You’re happy. We understand.
Don’t think it’s phun or kewl to not spell. At all. ts’ rily arhd ot undtand, nda most peoll wnt’ boehter.
Do put though into your posts! No just
“OMG IAMTEH FIRST POSTTTT111111!!!1!11!!! ONEONEONE”
General Advice:
Chain emails are bad.
Save Word documents often. Computers like to crash at the worst possible moment.
MySpace is the root of all evil.
Don’t be afraid to scream random things to the eternal perplexity of your peers.
Recycle.
29 (Axa)- I second all of those pearls of wisdom.
Advice:
– If at all possible, involve a cow. (That’s a quote, but I forget where it’s from.)
– It’s all right to be sad.
– Join Aebvoraena.
– Ignore lunatics like Pentatonikk, who enjoy putting paradoxes in their advice to make your head spin into oblivion.
21: so could I
Pentatonikk (30),
About the cow — wasn’t that from the Muse article about pranks at Caltech?
*claps hands* That’s it! Yes!
21(HRHQJ)- I could. The New Yorker recently ran an article about it, which I read because I was bored… Normally I just read the cartoons and the Bushbashing articles.
we know we’re insane, but some people get seriously disturbed when you use that word in reference to yourself. say “eccentric”
If you have raced with men on foot, and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses?
-Jeremiah 12:5
not exactly advice, but i’m slow either way and so i guess my advice is dont race at all.
*LB*
hmmm, think….
!
1. when your tamagotchi dies, press A and C to start again!
2. Call anyone who insults you a word from your unique alien language.
3. Draw anime caricatures of all your enemies, give it to them and say it’s their shashou. thats image in japanese.
Advice:
If your parents don’t like your eye makeup, wear sunglasses until you are safely out of your house.
Have fun with opinion questions on tests. You can’t be wrong.
Don’t use Sparknotes or anything of the like. Especially for essay tests.
Write legibly.
Read Muse. Make as many Muse or MuseBlog references as you can.
Don’t tan with that lotion or in booths. Everyone can tell it’s fake.
more:
always ask when you are going to quote something obscure like HG2G or monty python or else it won’t be funny.
always quote obscure things.
Advice:
when you get in a fight, stop and think. Meditate, hypnotize yourself; just STAY CALM. You can miss many great opportunities because you lose your head.
Quote songs often. Make sure you have a song for every possible occasion.
“something obscure like H2G2 or monty python”
Obscure? What? No…
MONTY PYTHON IS ONE OF THE 293804110396305326032938609183750938710937843019837
MEANINGS OF LIFE!!
you can tell i really like monty python
Okay… I’m not exactly an advanced player in the game of life, but here’s my advice anyway:
If you think that you have borderline personality disorder, it’s most likely just those danged hormones acting up again. Or at least, I hope…
When someone is lying to try to make you feel bad but you know the real truth, DON’T say anything in rebuttal. Look at them very strongly and silently, and if you must say something, just say, “and your point is?”
Never let a secret consume your life entirely. You’ll lose friends, your grades will slip, etc.
Please, does anyone have any advice for asking someone out? Whenever I try to talk to the guy I like, I shut my mouth, avert my eyes, and walk away. Either that or I say something completely moronic. Good thing he’s so polite, or my dumb middle school heart would have suffered some major damage by now.
You know, on second thought, it’ll be about five years until I can drive. I don’t want my mom chauffering me to my DATES. I suppose the advice can wait….
Never Eat Soggy Waffles.
43- I know this sounds stupid, but it’s true. Before asking them out, it’s a good idea to get to know them better. Such as smileing at them of sayin hi when you walk past in the halls. Averting you’re eyes will only make it seem like you don’t want to see them or are avoiding them, which is not the point.
In response to 29- I got this in an email. Sorta kewl.
this is one for you smart people…..
Try to read this. I’m sure you can….but it’s interesting.

random thought: what if ppl turned green when they tanned, instead of bronze? would ppl still want to tan?
probably, dont you think?
My advice is also to never mistake Hyde for Gackt. Ever.
And yes. It would be seen as attractive for some unknown reason. Fashion is like a chicken without a head: it’ll last for awhile, but eventually it’s esophagus will scab over and it’ll die.
Yessir.
(46) If you can read this, you have a strange mind too. Can you read this? Only 55 people can. ( I’m assuming they mean percent) I couldn’t believe that I coula actually understand what I was reading. The phenomenal of the human mind, according to a research at Cambridge University, it doesn’t matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place.( This sentence makes little sense) The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing huh? Yeah and I always thought spelling wasn’t important!
It’s a real pain when it’s not intentional. I make mistakes, I admit, but I often copy my whole comment into Word and spell check it. Because I care.
Sage words of wisdom :
Don’t kiss babies unless you know they’re the right way up.
Don’t try milking a hedgehog.
Don’t throw cheese at a llama.
Always check the oil level before starting a compressor.
Always carry a tripod when trying to get video footage of a kingfisher. You’ll never get the footage, but at least you’ll have a nice, steady shot of the branch where he might have been five seconds ago.
Don’t try to buy dilithium crystals at your local drugstore. They won’t stock them.
Don’t stand in the middle of a busy road while reciting Shakesepare.
Make sure your Word spellcheker is set to American English. Or in my case, British English. Which is why I spell things wrong. Or you do. But that’s OK. It’s just a little local colour. Or color.
Don’t use Word. Install OpenOffice. It does the same job, and it’s free. Fight the monopoly.
Rotate regularly. It keeps the blood flowing.
Don’t listen to advice from PB&J. He’s an entertainer, not a sage.
Keep smiling. You know it makes sense.
Heres some advice to add on to PSPOP’s about French cafes. If you ever got to a French cafe to eat lunch, don’t order a hamburger. (order something French, not American)
(I saw a lot of Americans do this…)(it bothered me)(ok, I’ll stop with the parantheses now)
(46) I don’t believe only 55 percent of people can read this. Want there a thing in Muse about that? Most of my friends got that email and they could all read it.
Advice: If you act like you know what your doing, people generally assume you do.
Advice:
Impeach George Bush. If you would like to learn an anti-Bush

Whoever wrote that article analyzing Wicked (and moreover, not the actual play but the SOUNDTRACK, for Pete’s sake (at least, I think it’s the soundtrack they’re talking about) had WAY too much time on their hands.
TOTAL OMG!!! i just got a letter from Koko…but ohno… thats the letter they send when they dont print your letter….. *sniff* ah well, it’s hand checked, and a letter from koko is a letter from koko! im going to frame it!!
52- What article analyzing Wicked? I’m going to go see Wicked! I’m excited.
49-Don’t use WordPerfect. It’s useless and rewriting anything is a pain in the neck.
Only bluff when you know you can pull it off.

Words of wisdom from a random person:
If you’re laughing about chinchillas it’s probably not funny.
When you start showing people the gunk on the bottom of your shoes you’ve either run out of things to talk about, or it’s getting way too late.
Learn how to laugh at yourself. It will make people stop trying to embarrass you.
When you can make someone fall over laughing by drawing fake hair on a picture, you’re probably up way too late.
Llamas are Satans animals.
Don’t talk about things that you know nothing about. This includes politics, religion, and foreign policy.
The vast majority of the population just wants you to shut up.
Never tell someone who you like unless you already know who they like. You never know how they’ll react, and it’s good to have some counter black mail on them.
Don’t listen to advice from someone who can’t evil spell their own name.
That’s supposed to say “cant EVEN spell their own name”, not “evil”.
56–I totally agree.
if you have been waiting for your tamagotchi to hatch for more than 45 minutes, either go on museblog of reset it by pressing (B) and select reset.
boys are idiots. act like they don’t exist.
books are like water. you need them to survive.
money is not always wanted for greed, seldom it is wanted for confort.
yes, we could live without love. but who would want a meaningless life?
unfortunately, everyone judges books by their covers, so don’t be misleading and let your cover reflect your soul.
your voice is a mirror of your mind. misleading are impersonators, and confused is their conscious.
color is life, and lack thereof results only in effect.
live as a person, not as a shadow, and danger will always be near. but go along as if it’s not there, and never will you ever fear.
intellgence your born with, knowledge you acquire, observations may be peak, but wisdom’s always higher.
think not of reason to do something, but what will come of doing it.
enrich your life with diversity of surrounding and tolerate the stupidity of others with a steady hand.
endure all and find out what you will never do, for knowledge is power that lies within you.
do not look to the future for answers to questions you do not know; instead learn from the past and live in the now.
music is the poetry of nature.
i hope those are all mine. if they’ve been said before….sorry. but i made those all up just now.
that was really cool, Jadestone!
(or should I say, “ttha wsa raelly colo, Jedastnoe!”)
54- I’ll give you the link, but I don’t know if it will be allowed- it’s at
www.musicalschwartz.com/wicked-score-notes-1.htm. If they pull that link, it’s called “Wicked’s Groundbreaking Score” and it’s by Robert Vieira, and is a track-by-track analysis.(GAPAs- sorry for including a link).
Don’t evewn bother, Gwendolyn. At the age you’re at (*Whcih is the age I’m at also) he will probably just back away slowly. Either that, or not be allowed to date.
*sighs* Didn’t mean to disspoint you, there.
Listen, I wrote a riddle. The answer is “Love”. I wrote it for the guy I like, but everyone was telling me to gfive up on him, so I didn’t give it to him. You can use it.
What naakes songs?
What makes all emotions come together?
What conquers everything in the world?
What can make a half whole?
What changes everything?
if he responds “God” or “Drugs” just ell him the answer.
Urgh. No more dating advice. It’s annoying. Shouldn’t we be talking about more Muse-esque things? I’m very sorry I ever gave reason for that to rear its ugly head.
Here’s advice for the blog:
let’s start trying to keep those content free posts to a minimum. Sure, we don’t all want to lapse to into complete lurkdom, but how about, if you don’t have anything to say, just postpone (ha ha get-postpone) posting until something comes to you. That way, we can have interesting conversations, and posts will actually be responded to, because we wont have to wade through the mush of randomness to get the to posts tha actually have content.
*wins gold medal in long winded post event at the virtual olympics*
Also, I’ve noticed in a couple of threads (mainly the RPG and Pie War ones, I think) people going crazy bashing the president or other things. Come on, let’s be mature here. Dissing Bush isn’t a game. OK, I don’t agree with the president’s polocies on the most part, but at least I take it seriously enough not to make it into a joke.
Rant over. Sorry.
i need some advice. i’m mean. any suggestions?
(68) Um…don’t..be…mean? Just think about how other people feel and if you think doing something will hurt them, don’t do it. Try and see things from other people’s point of view.
68- Don’t talk? It worked for me…I’m usually one of the most cynical, sarcastic people ever.
Heh heh heh I just found this button on the hottopic site that said “I’m not shy–I’m quietly examining my prey” must obtain.
Or just laugh at the idiots on the inside. They’ll just think that you’re crazy. Enjoy your mental superiority, but don’t flaunt it.
As some dude called Lord Chesterfield said, “Be wiser than other people, if you can; but do not tell them so.”
“Genius has its limitations, but stupidity is not thus constrained.” I tihnk that’s the quote. Just think that in your head quietly whenever the silly people start to vex you.
Never tell anyone who you like. Ever. Because, by the end of the day, the entire state will know. Middle schoolers have RAGs–Radar Antennae for Gossip.
“Don’t use words you don’t know the meaning of them.” The kids in my younger brother’s class say this a lot, because they don’t know any better.
Um…and land on your feet, like a cat.
the switcy-letter thing is really cool Jadestone.
worrying does not empty tomorrow of it’s trouble’s; it empties today of it’s strength.
also, just because somebody does one thing bad it doesn’t make them a horrible person
73- Precisely. We’re all humans/aliens. We can’t help it if we aren’t perfect every once in awhile.
1) Don’t change your computer’s important settings if you don’t know what you’re doing. Seriously, don’t do it!
2) If you’re an introvert, use your natural quietness to your advantage. Take some time to sit still and listen to peoples’ conversations around you. They never even realize you’re listening to them! It’s amazing how many things you can find out about people just by doing that. I know this from personal experience at school. (*slightly evil grin*)
alright, heres a question: what should you do when ppl are mean to YOU? there are a lot of rude, senseless ppl where i liv, & when they give me their unsolicited opinions of my hair, clothes, etc, i seriously dont know how to respond. i usually just try to be “nice” to everyone, & act like i dont know whats going on if someone says something “mean” to me…& then i go fume about it quietly.
but how can “mean” ppl live w/ themselves? thats what i wonder. are they just incredibly misinformed?
being wiccan, i believe that every bad thing that someone does will come back & get them where it hurts.
im actually paying for several years of being a “mean” person right now…my “payback” started a couple of years ago…i relly felt sorry for myself for awhile…but then i sort of had an epiphany not long ago…kind of realized that the only way to get rid of bad karma is to create some good to replace it
hvr, i dont believe that “white” lies are ever justified. they dont make a person “nice.” if anyone has anything to add to that, go for it.
If someones mean to you in that sort of condescending way, laugh at them. It’s completley stupid to insult some one because of the way they dress, so if some one does it to you, joke about it. Maybe let them know, gently, how pathetic that is.
Something I once read might help: “An insult is like poison: it affects you only if you accept it.”
75, #2- Yeah, I do that.
76- I also do that. Pretend to be clueless, that is.
augh, im in agony right now. does anyone hav advice pertaining to allergies? i feel so gross today…even my eyeballs are itching right now
Advice: Look where you’re spitting out your gum. Make sure it isn’t one those bins in which clothing hangers are stored.
{I hate when I do that}
recommend books. you probably will get thanked for it and then that always feels good.
Don’t bend the spines of books or dogear their pages. It’s just not cool. Especially if the books aren’t yours.
[you can tell which books I’ve loaned to people…]
Does anyone know what to do when your reputation at your SCEOND school is trashed?
(83) I’ll never dogear pages in books, but sometimes I do for magazines and catalogs. (but not Muse. I never mess up Muse – exept the time I let my little sister draw a mustache on Kokopelli)
All I have to say is: Don’t act like my friend vid. Or vidioman, or whatever you want to call him.
Here’s an example of vid-speak:
“OMG You’ve been to Duluth?? Wow! We have so much in common! Let’s attempt procreation!”
“Edited – inappropriate comments ~zel~
I can do better but it’s innappropriate. Just, to get that out there.
If I said it, skigeek would have my head. …
At least you aren’t me.
And at least I’m not a starving Ethiopian baby.
See, there’s always a good side! … -ish.”
“Defcon is probably bisexual. I’ve experienced days where I’m not interested in guys at all, today was one of them. If I go into it, though, I’ll get in trouble. Moving on.
~-Edited-~ ”
“I wanna ride someone…”
“I’m very good at pissing people off. In fact, I just did!
And if things go right he’ll be even more pissed off, once his parents find out about what he’s been up to the past 10 days… hehehe”
“Oooo… a psychiatrist!! Is he cute? Hehe.. I wear boxers But if I’m feeling really crazy, I’ll wear boxer briefs! Ooo, naughty!”
“Vid, you know better than that. ~zel~
@Aran: To tell the truth, that’s something I probably wouldn’t have noticed… Though I don’t consider it really appropriate for ST myself. but since you posted that I would make a deal of it, now I’ve gone and made a deal of it.
again… ~zel~
Ah, an inappropriate naughty comment and regional slur! I got two at once this time! ~zel~
He’s from a town of 3000..”
“Tell me who’s bullying you and I’ll wrap a desk around their throat! One move, and teddy gets it.”
“My art teacher was a.. what the french call chienne..”
“I used to like Dragonball too, but then I realised it’s just a bunch of half naked guys standing in a field and grunting at each other. Which is why I like Dragonball.”
Yyyyyeah… Just don’t talk like him too much. He isn’t a great example.
BTW, the “edited” things were added by forum moderators, not me.
OK, I don’t want my sister finding out I like someone. She think I’m still 4, and would bother me to no end (though I have liked him since Nursery Skool, it just got stronger in later years). Any ideas for making sure nobody tells her?
Advice to all:
We shall all flee to a giant island, henseforth known as MUSELAND,and there we shall be removed from the chaos of our life. Then we will all be hermits (or hermit crabs). Farewell Cruel world!!!
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
88 – Hooray! And then we can plot world domination from the island…with all of the musers gathered together, anything is possible!
Yes!!!! We will conquer the world with our supreme intellect and many pies!!!
Lets do a little count on who knows I like a guy:
My parents
My grandparents
My aunt
My cousins
My cousins best friend
(Comign soon) My entire old school (Aagin, they don’t know yet, but the way rumours fly around in my school district, its bound to come soon)
Everybody in my class
Half my hebrew school class
Him
But I don’t want my sister to know
88- Brilliant!
oh yes! *looks into obtaining sailboats and concludes that her neighbors is to heavy for her dark minions to pull*
Gapas, (and i mean robert) if your so interested in stopping the piw wars, just stop the thread. keep anyone from posting on it. just a bit of advice which you probably wont take.
91- ooh!!!… Torch singer and Random Dude sittin’ in a tree!!! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!!
Yeah, I know I’m immature…
Yuki Tanabe is a homosexual and he likes to eat pigs feet! :D:D:D:D:DDD:D::DD:D:D:DD:D::DD::D:D:D:DD:D:D:D:
