in September 24th, 2006 @ 13:30C’mon people… RANDOM!!!!!!
OK… We could think of a new craze, like tenrecs and umlauts. It will have to be sufficiently random, crazy enough, and cool. Ideas… Words that begin with Q. Q is a nice letter, doncha think?
Some type of animal. How about the platypus? It’s pretty random. Or the hoatzin. Or some invented animal, like the vundrilus. One hundred and twenty-seven species. Or a color. Ulfire would be nice. Ulfire platypuses? Like hot pink bunnies? Ulfire vundrili? Ulfire hoatzins?

in September 24th, 2006 @ 16:32oh, I have a good song for the muse song
Oh muses, I am trying to write
in the empty streets, by candlelight
and find that I cannot, do you see me now____?
but I’ll make it throught with you___ somehow________
(instrumentals)
Your keepsake word is but a voice,
to be here now is not my choice,
O’ muses sing me a song
just to help me get along___
(cheesy violins)
O’ muses, where am I to go?
I think you’re there, in fact I know
but why do I feel so alone?
without your word, without a home…
(cheesy choir)
CHORUS
O muse, a word please
to help me–to put my mind at ease
for the paper to meet the pen,
when will you come, when o’ when?
(cheesy humming)
Muses! take me somewhere,
I put my thoughts in your care,
Muses, whom’s voice is sweet and quiet (not smelly)
gentle and compassionate (except for Kokopelli)
Muses, I’ve got a life to live,
one word…can you please give,
I need a kind warm word,
and then I’ll go on…know-ing I am heard!!!!!HALLELUJAH!!!!
(think of it as a cheesy movie theme song and it sounds ok)

Once when you’re born,
And once when you look death in the face.
-Sir Ian FlemingHas anyone ever read The Book of Bunny Suicides? It’a hilarious, as is Return of the Bunny Suicides. One can find an excerpt at bookofbunnysuicides.com. It’s delightfully twisted British humor.
When I grow up I want to live in England. Either England or Canada.

I mean, i pretend to take forever b/c i like looking at books but he really does take forever. he has issues with decisions). It was absolutely hilarious. People kept staring at me cuz i kept cracking up. That happens a lot though XD

emogrl //_^
in September 24th, 2006 @ 19:22Oh, what a day.
For the past two weeks, I hav been planning for today to be a day (…The first in maybe three months) where I could just kick back, read, sing, and…maybe even SLEEP! But…And I knew this was going to happen; I just KNEW it…about a million little things went wrong, and today quickly turned into the s*****est day I’ve had in quite awhile.Today I did the following:
– Rose at eight to get ready for work (Looked at my planner the night before, and SURPRISE – I had to work BOTH days this weekend! Same for next weekend! Life is teh suxxor!)
– Tried to get a mail order ready (We mail most of the fudge orders we get Monday mornings), but I couldn’t read the guy’s writing (Why, oh why, do ppl giv us fudge orders to ship, but write them illegibly? Why?), so now my boss is going to be pissed b/c I didn’t get the order ready.
– Tried to sell these stupid discount cards for the choir fundraiser – but since most ppls around here are too rich to be bothered w/ coupons/discount stuff (myself not included), I was turned down (sometimes quite rudely!) at EVERY bloody house.
– Decided to buy my last three cards – ten dollars apiece.
– Discovered that I’m already at least 25 dollars in the hole.
– Was informed (just as I was getting ready to study for the unit test in AP bio tomorrow that had somehow escaped my mind until today) that I had to vacuum both the second AND third floors…
– Started vacuuming my room – The vacuum sucked up a corner of the throw on my nightstand, and pulled the throw and absolutely EVERYTHING else off – which included, but was not limited to: my lamp (shattered), my flashlight (broke), and my digital clock (broke, but fixed now).
– Cried (My mother bought the lamp esp for me, and it cost her a bloody 40 dollars…I feel awful).
– Recopied my bio notes yet againe (four chapter’s worth), b/c that’s the only way I can keep stuff like that in my head
So. How was everyone else’s Sunday?

in September 24th, 2006 @ 19:44(22) *hugs* I’m sorry. Hope things go better next sunday.
I have a new expression. TOAST as in, that’s crazy toast yo, or wow, party toast!!
and as an opposite, you can all something bread, like oh that this is the sucky bread, or oh my gosh, it was the biggest piece of fricking BREAD ever!.
tralalala.
I had an art class yesterday. It was mixed media. It was fun coz there were only 4 people in the class. Then my freind and I walked around and looked at some shops. We went into this book shop and I bought
1) some really random small books
2) an edward gorey calendar
3) a t-shirt that says
“What if the hokey pokey is what it’s all about?”laughlaughlaugh.

in September 24th, 2006 @ 19:57Like my name? I’m not going to keep it, but it’s nice. My birthday is 04/02. Isn’t that cool?
2 – I think a high record is 6. Wow, I know. I was surprised.
14 – What? I went, and there wasn’t anything interesting about it.
16 – It sounds good for the Greek muses, but not as much for the new muses. Know what I mean? But I like it. It doesn’t even have to be a song, just a poem.
19 – Quintessentia has been here for a while. Check the names list to know exactly how long.
22 – It was pretty good. My cousin (actually a step cousin, but oh well) came over for dinner. I had to clean the bathroom. But other than that, I could do anything I wanted. My Sundays are always pretty good.GAPAs, I forgot to tell you: You’ve been so fast at moderating! I think that the number of GAPAs helps, but wow! Thanks a lot!

26-She’s not on there…unless she changed her name.
GAPA’s-I’m not on the list of MuseBloggers, and Bellatrix Lestrange changed her name again. She’s now Necromancer. There might be other things, but I wasn’t looking, I just happened to notice those.

Sweet Melpomene
in September 25th, 2006 @ 11:09An entire weekend without MB. I almost died. But instead I started learning how to drive. I’m horrible. I get scared when I go over 10mph. It’s sad, really.
17- Sounds cool. I want to live in England or Italy.
20-
22- Aww…*gives choklit*
23- I heart that slang! But a new calendar already?!? I do not wish to part with my Dali one!!!
Too many new things on the blog, too little time. Being grounded does not equal fun.
Nor does homeroom/1st period. I want to finish my homework in the extra time, thank you very much! I do not care about how the cheerleading bus broke down or if the football team won!!!!!!! It’s really unfortunate that our teacher is also the cheerleading coach, eh?
High school needs nap time.
No fun at all.
I don’t know if my Español [is that capitalized?] teacher is back yet; she was gone all last week. No clue why. She probably went to España or something…
Meh.
One of my lab partners didn’t come to school today. No. He went to the fair instead and didn’t even email me or our other partner his part of the report. This greatly irks me. I wish to defenestrate something. *twitches*
Only 2.5 horas are left. 1.5 classes. And Spanish is fun….so the rest of the day will probably go quickly.
What colour is ulfire?????????
Should go…..
Sorry for the blog-clogging with this verylongpost.

in September 25th, 2006 @ 18:285-Platypi! The plural is platypi! I vote for a craze in favor of fuchsia Geiger counters. That’s pretty random.
33-That’s not horrible, that just means you’ll live longer. And anyway, slower driving is safer.
42-How is Canada like England? How?!?! I want to know.
Today I managed to kick my locker so hard I broke my lock. Well, it did receive the weight of my steel-toe 1420s, so I don’t blame it, but my principal is really mad. Even though I paid for it. So, I don’t really understand why everyone’s all upset.
My paper on Andrew Jackson had a CD with “Indian Reservation” by the Raiders on it. Did you know that Andrew Jackson had a bilingual parrot that had to be removed from his funeral because it was swearing in both Spanish and English?

#24: Thanks.
#25: Thanks. Oh…mmm *Munchmunch*
#26: Heck yes, your new name is teh pwnxor…or hvr you say it!
#27: Thanks. No, I’m actually from MI, but I always spell stuff like Europeans/Canadians do, b/c…Well, let’s face it: The British and the Canadians are waaaaaaay cooler than us!
#29: Thanks.
#33: Thanks. And yeah, driving can be very, very intimidating sometimes!
#45: *Giggles* Be nice to your locker, now…The Queen of Mood Swings is back.
…Today was great! It was actually one of the best days I’ve had in a long time…For once, I didn’t feel like a zombie until lunch hour (Probably b/c I was listening to The Faint and Dragonforce all the way to skool…Metal in the morning! With my banana muffin! Woohoo!). Then…My friend came up to me at some point this morning, and she was all excited b/c she had bought an N64, so now we’re planning an N64/old skool vid game party. W00t. Oh, and the best part of to-day: I, for once, had less than an hour of homework! *Is still in shock*

42- You could move to British Columbia and leap from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers…the larch, the fur, the mighty Scot’s pine…!
On the brighter side, I got up to 40mph yesterday. Going on an actual road. I almost cried. It’s getting better all the time [can’t get any worse…whooo, Beatles]
The magickal “Gifted” room has been overpopulated today. That depresses me greatly. No HW doing. Not even maybe. It’s really loud.

in September 26th, 2006 @ 14:3050- the pie wars… ahhh…
Otzi requested a chuck norris thread. the gapas made one. Em declared that chuck norris was boring and made the thread into a watership down one. the gapas obliged. Otzi insisted that the WD (watership down) thread was still the CN (chuck norris) thread and declared pie war. people started throwing pies. robert tried to create peace but failed miserably several times. eventually the two main groups fighting at the end, the Op and the PWLs created a treaty. Museica has since lived in a muser- like peace.
Any other pie war veterans around to summarize 5 threads worth of pies into a paragraph?

in September 26th, 2006 @ 18:5948-In the US, it’s platypuses. In Australia, it’s platypi. Where do platypi live? Australia. Hmm. “Having delivered myself of my favorite duck-billed platitude…”-Dr. Richard Ames, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls
I got home, made myself a Coke float, and cried. My teacher gave me a D on an Andrew Jackson essay I spent FOUR HOURS on. Wanna read it?
Andrew Jackson: Savior or Scoundrel?
“Cherokee people-Cherokee pride…†The words come from a 1971 rock hit by popular band Paul Rever and the Raiders, ‘Indian Reservation.’ The lyrics of this song are mournful and sad, telling of the Europeans’ effect on the Cherokee native nation and the Trail of Tears, an event that happened in almost two hundred years before the song was written by Don Fardon in 1965. Andrew Jackson was the man behind the tragedy the song tells about, the Trail of Tears. Jackson’s administration confiscated more than 100 million acres of traditional Native American land, and moved Cherokee, Seminole, Choctaw, Iroquois, Comanche, Cree, Ojibwa, Pawnee and Shoshone personages and more than four thousand slaves belonging to them. He was also one of the U.S.’s great military geniuses and a commanding personality.
Andrew Jackson’s nickname was ‘Old Hickory,’ a reference to his legendarily hardheaded pragmatism and battle techniques. He’s on the $20 bill and was the first US president ever to suffer an assassination attempt (an unfortunately unsuccessful one on Jan 30, 1835 by mentally ill Richard Lawrence, who fired two pistols at Jackson, missed, and was then beaten with a cane by the irate president and subdued by his aides). He was considered ‘the people’s man’ because he came from a poor Carolina frontier (it’s still debated what state Jackson came from, North or South Carolina) family of Presbyterian Scots-Irish immigrants. Andrew Jackson was the youngest of three brothers born on March 15, 1767. He joined the militia at the tender age of thirteen, and then was taken captive by the British. During this time, he refused to shine the boots of a British officer and was struck in the face and left hand with a sword, leaving him with permanent scars and a pervasive anglophobia. He came to Tennessee by 1787, a lawyer on the frontier, though he could barely read law. Jackson was Tennessee’s first Congressman, became a U.S. Senator in 1797, resigned within a year, and was appointed a judge in the Tennessee Supreme Court in 1798.
We leave Jackson’s legal career aside for the moment and concentrate on his work in the Tennessee Militia, which he had led since 1801. Peter McQueen, the Northern Creek Indian Band chieftain, massacred 400 men, women, and children at Fort Mims in 1813. Jackson then commanded the campaign against the Northern Creek Indian Band, also known as ‘Red Sticks’. In the Creek War, a subset of the War of 1812, Jackson defeated the Northern Creek Indian Band at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. He did this with help from the Southern Creek Indian Band. In the battle, 800 ‘Red Sticks’ were killed. Jackson spared the life of Creek leader Red Eagle (William Weatherford) in a rare display of restraint and imposed the Treaty of Fort Jackson on both bands, with help from Sam Houston and Davy Crockett (“King of the Wild Frontier!†Yes, that Mr. Crockett), who served under him at the time. Jackson’s other notable victory was the Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815, which was a huge American victory. Two thousand British fighters were killed, in comparison to Jackson’s losses of 8 dead and 58 wounded or missing. The First Seminole War started when Monroe commanded Jackson to lead a Georgia campaign against the Seminole and Creek Indians. The command was purposely, and artfully, worded ambiguously, in an effort to give Jackson more power and take the responsibility off Monroe, should an international conflict arise.
Jackson’s aim was to capture Florida for the United States in under sixty days. Seminole warriors attacked his volunteers, and Jackson retaliated by burning entire Seminole villages, children, and crops. He captured Pensacola, Florida¸ with little more than a few warning shots, then killed the Spanish governor of the town and took over. He and his men killed hundreds of escaped slaves to whom the Spanish government had given asylum. He illegally tried, captured, and execeuted (in that order) two British citizens who had been supplying and assisting the Native Americans; Robert Ambrister and Alexander Arbuthnot. Neither was present at the trial, which Gen. Edmund Gaines presided over, and it reached no conclusion. Andrew Jackson determined both men guilty, and sentenced them to death-Mr. Ambrister was shot by firing squad and Mr. Arbuthnot was hanged from his schooner’s masthead on the 26th of April in 1818, his store and house sacked and confiscated. Jackson came a hair’s breath away from being censured, and Spain demanded that he be punished. Then-Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, a strong defender of Jackson’s actions during this time, wrote back contesting that Spain had not placed adequate forces in Florida. Jackson’s conquest was key to the negotiation of the OnÃs-Adams treaty, which ceded Florida to the United States. General Jackson was then named its territorial governor. Jackson spread bad blood here, which led to the dramas of such Seminoles as Micanopy (“Crazy Alligatorâ€), Osceola, Alligator, and Wild Cat in the Second Seminole War, later in the area. Jackson left Florida to consult with his party, the Democrats
In 1824, he ran for president as a Western Republican but failed to win a majority of the electoral vote. Instead, John Quincy Adams became president. Jackson called Henry Clay’s appointment as Secretary of State a ‘corrupt bargain’ because Clay had voted for Adams. Interestingly, this seeming defender of democratic values would do the same thing with his backers when he was elected. In 1828, he ran again and won in a landslide. A month after his election, his wife Rachel Donelson Robards Jackson had died, leaving Jackson devastated and with a strong aversion to reporters and writers, because he blamed them for her death. Jackson never fully recovered from her loss, and never remarried, instead choosing his niece Emily Donelson Jackson and daughter-in-law Sarah Yorke Jackson as first ladies.
Jackson’s first movement in office was to introduce the spoils system into American politics. He not only replaced officials with his backers (who called themselves “Jackson Menâ€) he removed representatives of political minorities who he felt had become corrupt by being in office too long. Jackson also campaigned against the federal charter of the Second Bank of the United States, which had been authorized under James Madison in 1816. He opposed the national bank on ideological grounds. In his veto message, which was written by George Bancroft, he stated that the bank was unconstitutional, centralizing of the nation’s wealth, exposed the government to “foreign interestsâ€, exercised too much control over Congress, and favored Northeastern states over territories and Southern and Western states. Jackson’s Herculean struggle resulted in the veto of its re-charter by Congress in 1832 and the withdrawal of U.S. funds in 1833. A multitude of state, or “pet,†banks sprang up, and were noted to considerably dent the nation’s economic progress. Congress censured him on March 27, 1834, but the censure was expunged when Jackson’s supporters gained a majority in the Senate.
It’s worth noting that during this time period Jackson fought a battle with the social straitjacket of his cabinet. The Secretary of War (1829-1831), John H. Eaton, was married to Peggy Eaton, a former barmaid and “harlot†whom the other wives of the Cabinet regarded as inferior, lower class, and unworthy. Perhaps Mrs. Eaton reminded Jackson of his deceased wife. Perhaps Jackson felt a companionship with Eaton, as they were both backwoodspeople and not aristocrats. Perhaps it was because Mr. Eaton was Jackson’s personal friend. Whatever the reason, Jackson crossed wires with the ladies of the Cabinet over the matter. Most of Washington, including Jackson’s Cabinet, Congress, and the Senate, were shocked when Jackson was heard to yell, scream, and by some accounts, swear, at the distinguished ladies of the Cabinet. The crisis ended in Jackson appointing a new Cabinet with more understanding and socially tolerant wives.
The second crisis of Jackson’s tenure was of nullification. In 1828, Vice President John C. Calhoun supported the right of his home state, South Carolina, to nullify a tariff imposed on European goods. South Carolina threatened to secede over the issue. This created a considerable amount of friction between the two men. In December 1832, he denied the right of secession and spoke resoundingly against the nullifiers. In 1833, Congress passed a ‘Force Bill’ and Jackson sent troops to South Carolina in order to enforce the law. The crisis was passed over safely when Jackson sent troops to Charleston and the tariffs were gradually lowered until 1842.
It was during President Andrew Jackson’s tenure that the infamous “gag rule†was implemented. No one in Congress was allowed to discuss or bring up the issue of slavery. Roger Brooks Taney, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, ruled in the Dred Scott case for slavery. This ruling was both hotly protested and hotly supported, and Jackson supported it. John C. Calhoun, the Vice President and a Southerner, referred to slavery as “our peculiar institution,†and many saw this as an extension of self-denial over the issue of slavery.
Perhaps Jackson’s most villainous feat is the implementation of the Trail of Tears. The Indian Removal Act was signed into law in 1830, allowing treaties to negotiate the purchase of tribal lands in the east for out-of-borders. Almost seventy such treaties were ratified during his administration. In the South, the policy was especially popular, due to population growth and the discovery of gold on Cherokee lands. In Georgia, Cherokees could not testify in court against whites, conduct tribal business, contract, or mine for gold. Georgia became involved in a court battle between the state and the Cherokee, which ended with the 1832 Supreme Court decision of John Marshall that Georgia could not impose its laws on Cherokee land.
There is some considerable contention among historians on what happened next. Some say Jackson here produced his famous quote: “John Marshall has made his decision…now let him enforce it!†and openly defied the Supreme Court. Others say that Jackson’s ally Major Ridge negotiated the Treaty of New Echota with the Jackson administration. About 300-500 Cherokees were present at the negotiations, none of them elected Cherokee officials, and around twenty of them signed the treaty. This document was objected to by most Cherokees and protested by 15,000 as illegal, but the terms of the treaty were strictly enforced by Jackson’s successor Martin Van Buren, and it led to the Trail of Tears. It is estimated that a fifth of the Cherokee population died on the journey. Two-thirds were trapped between the frozen Ohio and Mississippi rivers during January.
Jackson’s career was certainly exciting. He shook up Washington and created the ‘Jacksonian Democracy’, a new type of American democracy in which the people exercised their right to rule and didn’t sway in favor of “their betters,†but believed they had none. He was a military expert who won the Battle of New Orleans in the most stunning way possible, and he won Florida from the Spanish within sixty days. He was a people’s man who defended his peers in Washington. He destroyed the US bank, and was the only president to date to have eliminated the US debt. Jackson also was responsible for a horrific number of crimes against the Cherokee people. He burnt Seminole children, ordered the forced removal of many Cherokee from their native lands, fought in some very colorful duels over his wife’s reputation and various insults, and successfully eliminated the states’ right of secession. Jackson was a man who was infinitely complicated, a perfect subject for an alternate history novel. He married a woman who was already married to another man without realizing it, shot another man after taking a bullet in the shoulder, had two scars and two internal bullets, and was known for gambling and drinking, as well as swearing (on one occasion at the wives of his cabinet members). His administration saw the clearance of more than 100 million acres of traditional Native American land. His soldiers cut strips of skin off the corpses of dead Native Americans and use them for bridle reins. His bilingual parrot had to be removed from his funeral because the bird was swearing in both languages. There are three identical statues of him in different parts of the country: one in a doorway of the Capitol Building, one in New Orleans, and one in Nashville. He was referred to as ‘Jackass’ during the 1828 election, credited as the creator of the term ‘OK’, either as an abbreviation of the humorous spelling ‘Oll Korrect’, or a branching-off of the Choctaw word, and has been portrayed in film by Charlton Heston. Jackson’s crimes were many and heinous. He was a blatant and unmitigated hypocrite who introduced the spoils system into American politics. However, he also was an incredibly forceful personality whose influence on American politics cannot be denied. Jackson will live on as a force that changed America forever.Juliette R., 8B

You must have a pretty harsh history teacher….in my experience history teachers only want interesting facts, which the bit of your article i read is full of. But mebbe i’ve been cursed with a single type of history teacher. Mebbe they’re actually the minority. Who knows…anyhoo, i thought the source listing was very hard-core and should get extra points. Kudos and a sympathy pie. *pies queenie j with amazing flavor-changing pie that switches to meet the face it lands on*
You could always go argue him into submission. Some teachers are weird and want you to come yell at them and then they’ll change the grade.

in September 26th, 2006 @ 21:2871- I’m sorry. I am usually the one who turns in 14 sentences and gets an A-. Your completly right, about Jackson being a boring dirp. The thing is, history teachers don’t want to read it either. They’ve seen, like, 2,000,000 essays and just want to know you get it, not that you looked up everything up on Jackson. Try taking out the middle. I bet most teachers wouldn’t even notice. Heck, they probably wouldn’t even have read that far. We did jackson for like two months in history last year. I learned none of that. Try keeping it to key points like “spoils system”,ect. instead of leaving that to one sentence while giving the description of his private life, even if that is much more interesting. Peace? I know we have conflicting views on the religion thread, but I really am a very nice person. If it makes you feel better, you should know that I have a chemistry teacher who failed me on a quiz because she didn’t like the way my name was written. Is that legal? Can I argue discrimination against people with messy signatures?
73- If the bluebird has any brains, it will fly, and therefore the buffalo will hit the ground first and the bluebird will be smirking because it got the buffalo to jump of the empire state building.

in September 27th, 2006 @ 00:48technically, all things fall at the same speed regardless of mass. the blue bird might go into shock or be unable to open its wings because of air pressure, and go plummeting to the ground. however, if the bluebirds wings are open enough to create resistance, it will slow down and hit the ground first. maybe the bluebid is a baby and cannot fly. maybe the blue bird has been pinioned. maybe its dead. okay, so it couldn’t jump if it was dead, sorry.

in September 27th, 2006 @ 01:20(71) Oh, what the heck. I want to cane your teacher so badly right now. He/she/it probably didn’t like the fact that you characterized Jackson like the jerk he was.
(And by the way, have you happened to have read the book “Project X”? They say “dirp” in that a lot, though it could be a common phrase…hmmm.)
I think you should complain, if that girl got an A on a SHOPPING LIST with Jackson spelled wrong, then there is obviously some favoritism or something going on. Did you get any reasons for the grade? Or was it just a D?

in September 27th, 2006 @ 07:36I just woke up.
I had the worst dream in the world last night.
It lasted for hours, which is the worst thing about it.
And I thought it was real, even though it couldn’t have been.
I dreamed that there was an earthquake, and suddenly [snipped] Mountain exploded, and it was a volcano.
At first it was a little cool, but then everyone was scared, and I went home, but nobody else did. And it got even worse.
Because then I picked up my cello and my trumpet, and then the volcano exploded again, this time sending lava to our house, and I jumped out of my window with the cello and trumpet, and ran to the beach and the ocean and jumped down a hole. (I know, unrealistic, but it was a dream.) Dakota, a boy in my school who also plays trumpet, (I have NO idea how HE got into my dream….. 0.o) came too. Then, we baked little pies on a biiiig stone board, and then another girl came, and we ate them, and were happy and sad. Happy we got away, sad because others probably didn’t.
Then Paul Baker came up, and we all sat there, in front of the fire we had built on the beach. It was nighttime so we went to sleep.
The next day, we all woke up, and my little brother came running through a pass in the rocks, and said, “[Zyka], come now.” I came, even though I thought he was just being annoying.
In the volcano I dreamed that my dad had died, and it was a funeral. The worst part was that in the dream my dad had gone looking for me to make sure I got out okay, and had died. That was the reason for the funeral. I started crying, and I ran away, because they hadn’t even saved me a seat for the funeral. They thought I was dead, too, until I came out.
Then my mom went to go inspect the damage at the school, and there were dead, burnt, lava-covered bodies everywhere. It was the worst dream I have ever had. It went waay into more detail than that, but it would be really sad if I did.
The worst part was that I kept waking up in the middle of the night during the dream.
It must have started sometime around one and went on, because I woke up in the middle of it at 3, then at 5, and now at 6-something. A six hour dream.
Now I must go find my dad and give him a biiiiiiig bear hug.

Let’s see, I finally caught the nasty bug that’s going around my skool, so my head is completely devoid of oxygen right now…Then I took some sudafed…*Giggles* Does anyone else here find that sudafed makes them go a little…wooOOOooooooOO…(Oh man, I am so out of it). Listening to Mars Volta probably doesn’t help that much (For those of you who don’t know, The MV are an indie band; their musik is pretty much borderline psycho – Ever heard Viscera Eyes?) … *Turns up volume* Hehe… WoooOOOooo…

in September 28th, 2006 @ 10:31108- Sudafed is pretty cool. I always take it when I get colds… I think it should be spelled, “Pseudaphed.” I like “ph”s. Or at least “pseudafed.” Practically everything beginning with “su” where the “u” makes a oooooo sound or “so” with a long “o” should begin with “p.”
109- Yesm, I love them! [That is supposed to be “yesm.”] They blend so nicely. Except I just use charcoal instead of black pastels. Basically the same thing, just easier to use in pencil form.
I hate typing on ‘the school laptops; it’s so uncomfortable. And I want to demand that the librarians stock banned books!
READ BANNED BOOKS, KIDS!!!! They’re too cool to be allowed… Actually, I’m usually quite surprised when I find out that a book I have read/am reading has been banned. Well, HP wasn’t really a surprise…other than that, I had no idea about Huck Finn and The Catcher in the Rye. There are more too…I just can’t remember…

in September 28th, 2006 @ 11:52108: actually, the Mars Volta are labeled ‘prog rock’. And they’re supposed to be very good, but I’ve never heard anything.
Also, I have to laugh whenever someone says ‘Indie’ music. It should mean indipendent, but most ‘indie’ bands are actually signed to major record labels.

I can see it now: “Ten Ways to Combat the Perception That You Are a Genius: (1) Walk around with your shoelaces untied, and trip over them. (2) Consistently confuse Iraq and Iran, and argue with anybody who corrects you. (3) Talk incessantly about your massive crush on [insert name of latest popular but obviously brain-dead singer or actor].” Etc., etc.

123,124-splat! I like fanfiction. Can’t write it, but love to read it.
I went to the library last night and did two things. First, I picked up a copy of The Religions of Man (only took me six bloody months to get around to it) and then I saw Queen Kelly, which was really good. It’s a silent movie with Gloria Swanson in it. It was kind of dark, and a little soppy, but still good. And I liked the nuns, the underwear, and P. Wolfram’s eyebrows. (Gotta see it to believe it.)

in September 28th, 2006 @ 18:30I’ve noticed lately that I get accused of things, then it turns out it was wrongful and I get no apology. The other day I was accused of doing something wrong. I was pointed at and everyone around me did that “ooooooh” thing that makes me absolutely furious. The kind of furious that makes me want to pull someone’s ligaments out. All of them. Then it turned out that it wasn’t me, it was someone to my right. Then they did that to him, but nobody thought to apologize to me. A second example: I am accused of spamming, but it’s a quote from my favorite video game, so I take several minutes, or thirty seconds at least, to explain. And I get no apology. What am I, sub-human? Am I the reknowned superhero, “Guy you Don’t Have to Apologize to!!”? Is there something wrong with me? Or is it with everyone else?

Have you read daniel pinkwater? specifically snarkout boys ? he’s as bad as the teachers in that! ( i believe you called him a he).ooh. just read a bit. ouch. calling an assasination attempt “unfourtunatly unsucssesful” is kinda… yeah.well, still nowhere near a d.

in September 29th, 2006 @ 00:50141) Play it over and over. French horn? Then you have a mouthpiece. My trick with the trumpet is to take the mouthpiece and a copy of the music I have to memorize/play for passoffs/play for chairs is to play the mouthpiece while hitting the right notes and fingering along with an invisible instrument to the music over and over everywhere I go.
And that brings me to another point.
YAAAAY! MY FRIEND AND I ARE TIED FOR FIRST CHAIR IN BAND!!!! WE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TO PLAY OUR PASS-OFF BECAUSE SHE (our band teacher) LISTENED TO US, BEING THE ONLY TWO PLAYING TRUMPET 1, WHILE WE WERE ALL PLAYING TOGETHER, AND WE GOT 100% ON THE PASS OFF, TOO!!

Hehe.
My suggestion is to break it up into sections of about 4 measure or so (ie, into phrases) and just memorize those and then stick em together.
kudos for playing french horn! that’s a froody instrument.

If they need refuge, fine, but you can’t stay here. We’re packed already. The immigration process is long, and it’s very restricted. Scandinavian countries have even more restricted procedures, so don’t tell me Denmark is better. I want to become Finnish, I just don’t think they’ll let me. And yes, I am swiss.

Necromancer (Bellatrix Lestrange)
in September 29th, 2006 @ 16:55Memorizing music –
there are two kinds of memorization: perfectionism memorization and time-memorization (this is a good one for situations that require memorization immediately).
Perfectionism memorization:
I sit down in a chair without my instrument and look at every single detail. Go measure by measure, phrase by phrase. Ask yourself “What note? What dynamic?”. When you think you’re done, get someone to ask you “What is the first note of measure [number]? What is the dynamic?” If you don’t know without looking at the music, it’s not memorized.
Aim for perfection – I’ve been handicapped for the past month (tendonitis) and I can’t play my cello, so I memorize the music. If you don’t cheat and set high standards, you’ll be even better than before.
Trust me on this one – my cello teacher was taught by the greats, and it was the greats who told him this, so do it.Time-memorization:
play it over and over and over and over and over. play it until you can humm it in your sleep. okay, so you won’t hum it in your sleep, but hum it everywhere else. make the music your bible.
Summary: PLAY. HUM. PLAY. HUM. PLAY. HUM.
simple.I hope this helped your hypothetical situation. probably more than you needed, but oh well.

in September 30th, 2006 @ 16:04It’s ok, you can just pie the math geeks on the pie war.
Not that it’ll help much, but it’s something to do. So yes i’m going to rant about band! Hah! Thought you could get out of it? Never. So Whitehall came to our band spread. Terrible. The band spread is sacred. Not that we don’t love mingling with other bands, but it’s the band spread! The abomination! Anyway, we got used to it after a bit and went around to do a bit of mingling. We talked to a nice drummer named russ, the one soul brave enough to cross into the bexley line before everybody finished eating and began mingling, and then we went around the whitehall side and talked to their drum major (who was pretty incredible btw. especially when he like bounced his baton off the ground, that was amazing) and another kid i forget the name of who knew Sean H—— (he was a senior sax last year-the one who gave leah and marika tandems on a stick for valentine’s day. Yeah. He was weird. Not as weird as his brother is though). Then we all did the playing for the parents thing and had our first experience being conducted by a whistle (i much prefer schneids waving his arms at us. the whistle hurt my ears). Then we did pregame and while we were waiting for the football players, schneids told us stories about how he and Mr. H******* (the whitehall director, and John H*******’s dad (John H*******’s the senior sousaphone and band president, he also plays piano in jazz band)) basically grew up together and their families were really tight and all. Then we did halftime and didn’t totally mess up! It was amazing, especially on the pinwheels b/c we had NEVER done those right until last night. Then we watched their band pwn us, and the amazing drum major, and then we played some songs standing still together, and that was pretty much it. They didn’t come over for third quarter until we had left, and we had mingled with just about everybody in their band anyway. The football team pwned theirs, so it was good.
Thus ends ebeth’s weekly rant about band. XD Next week’s is going to be quite interesting, as it’s home again so we have a week to learn a completely new show, so stay tuned!

in September 30th, 2006 @ 18:39(159, 160),
The road to becoming an Administrator starts in early childhood. Some hidden member of the Kokonspiracy notices something about you–a certain light in the eyes or twist of mind–and alerts the others to single you out for special training. Then, as you get older–
No, it’s not like that at all. At least, I don’t think that’s the way it happened with Rosanne, Paul, Rebecca, and me. But maybe it was, and even we don’t know about it. It’s a conspiracy, after all.
I’d say that willingness to do the job counts for a lot. Long hours, no pay, bizarre company, virtual pies in the face without warning at any moment–all of that narrows the field considerably.

in September 30th, 2006 @ 19:32118-Mention Jesse McCartney. There you go. Man, am I brilliant.
163-I weep for you, (the walrus said), I deeply sympathize. With sobs and tears he sorted out those of the largest size.
165-Oh, woe, woe, woe, etcetera. Ezra Pound. Whom I hate, oddly. I feel bad for you-my own hair has the texture of a Brillo pad (you know what really makes me mad) but it’s curly, jet black and shoulder-length.
I have a nasty headcold, and am more congested than Naples at six o’clock in the evening. Unfortunately, the stuff I just took has the power of a Deux Chevaux. Blergh.

in September 30th, 2006 @ 20:04I like Ezra Pound. For the most part.
My hair is reddish brown and shoulder length and wavy/knotted. I kinda wanna cut it all off though.
Ebeth, I appreciate your band geekiness. It makes me happy to be a band geek. And congrats on not screwing up! That is one thing i shall never accomplish
Haha my shoe fell off yesterday during marhching practice because some one stepped on the back of it
Luckily it happened just before a 16-count kneel so I had time to get it back on and I didn’t even stand out because everyone was kneeling.

in September 30th, 2006 @ 21:27#157: …Hm. They sound familiar. Aren’t they a hardcore band or something?
#165: Mine used to be to my shoulders, but then I got it layered, so now it’s a bit shorter.
#168: LOL…Kudos to y’all for your dedication!! ^_^I kind of need some advice right now. I just found out that my friend got kicked out of her house (And I’m absolutely furious about it, b/c she’s one of the nicest ppl I know, but apparently her stepdad has been making up stuff about her, and then telling her mom, and her mom believes whatever he tells her). Anyways, I might be seeing her soon, and I hav no idea what to do/say! I feel so awful about this!!

in September 30th, 2006 @ 21:35Ebeth has come to a decision! Almost! (w00t w00t!) she will go get in her pjs and possibly come back down for a last post! Possibly! On the other hand, she might find that it’s freezing cold up in her room (it sometimes is) and decide to jump straight into bed and pile blankets on top of herself! In any case, and whatever she does, happy almost-october!

in September 30th, 2006 @ 21:44179-woah…kicked out of the house? Harsh…i can understand a kid running away, but parentals kicking them out, that is teh suxxorz. Seriously, is that even legal?
Oh btw i remembered that dad bought AAA batteries for the calky so i figured i’d put them in. Then i wanted to eat b/c we had dinner early (b/c we didn’t have lunch, b/c we had breakfast late…) but decided i didn’t feel like eating. Then i wanted to make hot choklit which would’ve been SO good right now but of course we have none. *snibble* I’d make popcorn but i definitely did that this morning when i woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. Which is why i had a late breakfast. Food is such a confusing subject…

in September 30th, 2006 @ 22:38165- Mine is shoulder length and light brown.
179- that’s terrible! You should tell her to tell someone that she trusts who’s an adult. If her stepdad is telling lies that are that bad to her mom, and this causes her to be kicked out, it needs to stop.
