Wow!! We might actually get to four this month!
okay. RANDOMNESS REIGNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! 2 first posts in a row!
Yay! new OF thread!
must write something random…
AHA! oh, wait never mind…
1 (AP)- GAAAAAAARY! NOW!
You don’t want my Spam Rant. Really, you don’t. I swear.
Penty is…procrastinating on math homework.
today’s random thing for me is…
Today, I was typing at the keyboard, and I was supposed to do my homework but I did a bunch of random computer stuff. Is that random enuff for you????????????
Random. ☂☑â˜âœˆâœ‰âœâœŒâ™£â˜€â˜¢â„œâ†”✎ð➹↵â¿â¤â¦â§âœºâ‚!!!! Hehe… Ask me how I did that.  Yay for macs!
Sometimes, when I’m online, some of the buttons on my keyboard get switched around…And sometimes I even get new buttons (Like the monetary pound sign instead of #) too… What’s up w/ that??
8- how do you do that?? I have a Mac. Iknow that there a paste in symbols program, but I can’t figure it out
On the other thread:
#266: I was agnostic before.
#273: Why do I need it? Technically, I don’t need to have a religion, but I like to have one. I’ve believed in magic my entire life, so that’s why Wicca appealed (sp) to me much more than any other religion. Before I discovered it, I couldn’t find a religion w/ a set of beliefs that were even close to what I believe, and…Eh, I can’t think of any other way to describe it, but I just felt v confused and depressed in general.
Wowzers!!! Part 3, already?! It’s only the 17th!……….shweet!!!
Migoozee!!
balooooooooga.
I’m tired, yet hyper.
Another thread. wowsies.
I like doing fun symbols! I have a mac too! ˆø¬˚∆¨˙˜˚øœ´∑ßç√ƒ©®å
8-Actually, i’m currently hating mac while loving it at the same time, which is normal i guess but even more extreme now that stupid itunes wouldn’t let me download sir duke (illegally, true ) until i got jacob’s password so i had to wait 2 days before i remembered to talk to him. Grrr.
PSAT tomorrow. And btw, DON’T call it the PSAT test. Same goes for SAT, OGT, and all those other fun standardized tests people insist we take. That’s really a pet peeve of mine. It’s completely redundant. And it annoys me. Both my madre and my science teacher do that. Grrr. Ok rant time over.
Jazz band was pretty sveet, annoying ex-sevvie aaron was gone (eighth-grader isn’t an insulting enough term, so he’s an ex-sevvie) and carolyn came. Amusing things were said, mostly inappropriate (or could be inappropriately taken, which is really the joke) so i won’t bother.
I’m really hyper. Don’t know why.
The weather is absolutely perfect outside right now. Seriously, it’s brilliant. I’d go outside and go biking or something but it’s kind of dark and suchlike. Durn.
Got a 98 on my english test. w00t.
failed the history test. it was one of those buggers that narrowed down to two “right” answers and you had to choose the best. I hate tests like that, because you don’t know if you did brilliantly or failed. Right now, i’m going with failed. *sigh*
Oh, and i forgot something on the math quiz too…but i got everything else right, so that one’s ok
latin failed. w00t. as in, i put meat down for three different answers because i knew meat was in there somewhere, and i figured i might as well get one right. and i mixed up something i forget with something else i forget. But we listened to these pig chant latin things…idk, it was a cd or something, and they did these chants where they were like “oresnay, oresnay..” and then started chanting the words to old mcdonald had a farm in latin…it was really funny…
I love language recordings. In spanish, we used to listen to these ones where theyd say stuff like “Miguel and his friends are going to the mall. Listen to what they bought and write it down on your chart.” And Miguel would say something like “Hello. My name is Miguel. Today I bought a pair of blue pants, green sneakers, and a tie. The tie was very expensive.” They were hilarious.
♫Lalalalalaaaa!♫
ANOTHER one?
I hope we make it to FIVE!!!!
15 (Ebeth)- You’re a junior? The juniors at my school have PSATs tomorrow too, which means I only have late classes rather than all of them.
What all the Windows Alt+ stuff does–A comprehensive guide by Penty.
We start with Alt+1 and work our way up.

Alt+250: ·√â¿Â²â– After 253, they start repeating themselves. I’m sure there’s more, but that takes a lot of time and I’m lazy.
15- Me too. At my school we take the PSAT 4 times- once a year from 8th to 11th grade. This is my first year taking it, being an 8th grader.
Random:
“Go West” by the Petshop Boys is running through my head. Incessantly.
For some reason I associate it with Monty Python.
Please don’t ask me why.

whoopsies. Double post.
Hi peoples. Today was icky, but tonight was ok because we had band practice and I was hyper and the cool air (yes! finally! cool air!) made me feel better. Plus, we set the last of our drill. It took us ages because we had to learn an extra show this year coz we’re going to NY.
So there’s my life.
And, in answer to question on the other thread, my favorite type of cheese is roquefore (sp?).
Choklit!!
Whoooo….another part.
Today is going to be wonderfully shiny! I’m already in a happy mood because I got on the quiz bowl team for my school; we film on the 31st. I tied to make it on the team with the other member. Two other people tied for the alternate spot, but I don’t know who will be on yet…. And there’s a science club meeting after school today! Huzzah!
….which reminds me that I still need a decent PJAS project idea…hmmm…it’s too early to think about this.
And I’m not sure if my chem worksheet is due today or Monday. I thought it was today, but our weekly outline says Monday! *sigh* I hate when that happens.
Maybe I’ll do it now…
(Note-Names have been changed to protect identity)
Yeah, band practice, that’ll do it. I love band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When my sister started playing saxophone, I didn’t play an instrument, so I called her a band geek, but now that’s what she calls me now, because every five seconds I ask, “when’s band?” I started playing guitar a year ago, and guitar isn’t a part of band, but (here’s where it gets just plain stupid) we kept running into the band teacher at the grocery store and she said I should join Jazz Band. So she gave me the music and when I looked at it I felt retarded. So I asked my guitar teacher for help. So I did that whole dealy just fine, and then it was summer. I didn’t practice, or even touch the guitar the entire summer, and when I played it again, I was miraculously better! So this year, I was going to learn drums for band this year but the first day I made a complete fool out of myself, so that idea went out the window pretty fast. And then, I learned that they allowed guitar in band this year, (and I found out, it was all for me!) But two others were there, a girl named Sarah, and a boy, Danny. So the band teacher dragged me back to band and begged me to help Sarah, because she had only been playing for 6 months. Danny I already knew. Nobody in my school knew I played guitar, because they were all focused on Danny. WELL, I learned he can’t read a note of music. Not for guitar, anyway. He’s only good at improv. Which really ticked me off, because I had worked hard all last year, and he was going to steal it away, simply for no reason. But I cried a river, built a bridge, and got over it, and I love band. I’m doing better than he is now, anyway. Haaaah!!!!!! Score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry. Random rant I had to get out of me.
Hello, all!
I have nothing to say.
So I will shut up now.
That reminds me of a passage from Kurt Vonnegut’s H2G2-like book The Sirens of Titan:
There are creatures in the deep caves of Mercury. … They have weak powers of telepathy. The messages they are capable of transmitting and receiving are almost as monotonous as the song of Mercury. They have only two possible messages. The first is an automatic response to the second, and the second is an automatic response to the first. The first is, “Here I am, here I am, here I am.” The second is, “So glad you are , so glad you are, so glad you are.”
Here we are. So glad you are!
Oh. My. God.
My best friend’s senior friend(we’re freshmen) Jordan came to us at lunch and was crying because her best friend for 6 years had just told her that she was annoying and drove her crazy and thats why she had no friends. Molly, my best friend and Stephanie, another friend, went over to talk to Ellen, Jordans ex friend, while Josh and I stayed to comfort her. I didn’t even know her, but I knew that she needed someone to hug her and tell her it’s ok, Josh sorta just stood there, dumbfounded because Jordan was talking(well, sort of choking in between sobs) about how she didn’t want to live anymore. Then after he saw what I was doing, he hugged her akwardly. Then Mol and Steph came back. They didn’t even try to talk to Ellen. As soon as Ellen had started yelling at them, they ran away. Jordan was sobbing about suicide while my friends just stood there> hands to their sides, not saying anything helpful or comforting (I was rubbing her back). Then the bell rang. They all just left>. I skipped first period to talk to Jordan in her photography class, I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if I hadn’t tried to calm her down and she had done something drastic. She explained how she had manic depression and was off her meds that day and that her crazy mother who had beat her when she was little had gotten doctors to say she was certifiably mentally incopetent to take care of herself and so she maintained parental control over her even though she’s 18. And her mom won’t let her go to college or drive, and her boyfriend was thinking of breaking up with her because she couldn’t drive and it was to far for him to drive to see her, and her dad does nothing even though she loves him and he disagrees with her mother. I just sort of sat there, asking questions like a therapist(she does see one, and so does her mom) and hopefully being very reassuring, though now I am shaking. By the time first period was over, she had calmed down alot and admitted she would never really be able to kill herself, though she’s tried before. I’m just glad that I was there to talk to her, because most people who try to commit suicide really just want the attention, to know someone cares, and obviously my friends could not empathize, teenage emotional range that they have. I just can’t believe that my friends, who have known Jordan much longer than I have, as I said I only really met her today, would have let her kill herself rather than miss class to talk to her. I am just really shaken right now and I don’t know what to do. I think I just really need to get this out of my system, which is why I’m posting here. Also, if anyone has ever been in this situation before, or has been in Jordan’s place and can tell me what to do to help her I would really appreciate it.
28: I’m going to say something really insensitive now.
I honestly cannot understand why american kids seem to overreact all the time!!!! I hear about these things all the time from american friends, but not once have i come across something like this, not even in an indirect manner. Give her a few days and she’ll get over it. It’s not a soap opera. And maybe check the room for knives…
18-Sophomore. We take it twice. No idea why…we’re weird like that.
28-you probably did the best thing there, just listening and comforting. and 29-please stop generalizing. Like Julieb clearly said, jordan’s depressed and hadn’t taken her meds. She wasn’t overreacting, i’m assuming it was a medical condition, no? Anyway, i’d be depressed too if i was in her place. And plenty of people have never run across problems like this, whether in american or elsewhere. In fact, most people don’t have problems like this.
PSAT today. Not bad. Incredibly boring though. Oh and i was late to science…we were in band marching for the full 19 min of class we had (w00t) and i went off the field and into the band room before i realized i’d left my sweatshirt. So i ran all the way back past the new wing and across the football field, through all the small children being forced to play lacrosse by evil gym teachers, and all the way back and then i had to run BACK because i left my backpack right outside the band room, and then back AGAIN up the stairs and all the way across the skool to the science wing. Needless to say, i was late. Don’t think it counted though. Hope not anyway.
28 — !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
24 — i did pjas last year. swore i’d never do it again. maybe junior or senior year tho cuz then i can use it for my senior project.
we had to run a mile today. it sucked in the zillionth degree.
I don’t like Kurt Vonnegut’s Harrison Bergeron, has anyone read it? It’s so unrealistic.
:smile::grin::neutral::said::evil::twisted::mad::razz::wink::cry::roll::
:oops::mrgreen::shock::eek::???:
29- you DO generalize too much. I’m not to proud to be an american, but it isn’t my sworn duty to hate everyone who is.
****** rant over******
(randomness begins)
i am complaining. everyone refuses to go to school because of the weather, and to 58!!!! and cloudy. people here are wimps.
IT IS FALL BREAK!!!!!!!!!
oops. should have said IT IS 58. not to 58
32- i actually read that for a test i had to take. an entrance tihng for a uber 1337 high skool. u read, it, and wrote 2 essays. 1 on whats was his poin. 1 on how it relate to ur life. twas cool. i liked it. personally, i think it could happen, certainly u can see where he got the idea.
28- ur kinda right. american teenagers ae more depressed than most. but i agree / what every1 else said.
wow!
i just realized that the GAPA changed the “slow down cowboy” thing!
it used to say “slow down, cowboy” now says “patience, worthy Museblogger” coolio! thanx for messing w/ javascript GAPA!
28-Calm. Calm. Control.
The first night I was ever at camp I scared some people away and yanked a boy’s head out of the lake and held him while he threw up a LOT of water. An enormous amount. Then I sat on his chest and made him tell me what was wrong, which was that he was being bullied because he was gay. At half-session my second year, I had to wrestle a knife out of my friend’s hand because she was going to kill herself after people found out that her father raped her, and her sister just stood around and then left. I am serious. Stand by Jordan, pleeeease, and don’t totally blow off school but Jordan has higher priority than school. You did the right thing. Call us if you need help. No, post if you need help. Yeah.
Mercury Retrograde starts Oct. 28 and ends Nov. 17. Watch out!
39-What is mercury retrograde? A band? Cuz there are posters about it all over our skool…
Oh and i have to try the quick-post thing. ready…set…GO!
w00t! Kewlios!
28- Wow. Poor girl. You’re really nice.
29- I partially agree. While many teenagers are attention-desperate, and therefore p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c, some are actually depressed. I say that rather gingerly, because, when you think about it, mental “diseases” are just abnormalities. Sometimes just social abnormalities…. It gets a tad grey. I just don’t really like drama queens. Unless they’re being dramatic in a sarcastic way, in which case it’s hillarious. I’ve heard girls at my school go on huge rants about stupid things, like [actual situation] not being able to sit by someone on the bus because a different friend sat there. But in the case of post 28, I’m fairly certain the angst is completely understandable [sp?].
40- It moves backwards through the zodiac. No biggie; Mercury does this often.
*sigh* I’ve pretty much just gotten used to FrigidSymphony’s generalization…it doesn’t bother me, anymore. Don’t let it bother you.
18-You have waaaayyyyy too much time on your hands. But I’m glad you do!
28-That’s really, really, sad…all I can tell you is that I’ve consisdered suicide before, and gone through some tough times (I’m still going through them, but it’s not that bad, now.), and I did get better, so Jordan probably will, too. Just be there for her, and remind her that you care about her. I think that most of the time, the reason someone commits suicide (assuming they don’t have a really serious problem, like they kille someone, or something like that) is that they feel like no one would care if they died, so why not do it? I know it sounds kind of crazy, but really, that’s what they think (or at least a lot of them). I know. That’s what I thought. All I can really advise you to do is tell her how much you care about what happens to her. It’s what she needs, right now, if I’m understanding your story correctly.
im bored… very bored… TO THE LEFT TAKE IT BACK NOW YALL 1 HOP THIS TIME LEFT FOOT LEFT STOMP… srry, spaz moment
44-OMG!!! THAT IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!! At least, it’s really good. RIGHT FOOT RIGHT STOMP! TWO HOPS THIS TIME! CHA CHA NOW YA’LL! EV’RYBODY CLAP YOUR HANDS! *clapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclap* WooT!!!!
31- Really? Why not? This will be my fifth year
I’ve been so lazy with my online life now that I’m in school. Bleah x 1000. I finally checked my dA account and I had over 500 messages. Responding to them has been long and painful.
I have no idea how I’ll keep up with NaNo. I’ll have to put tons of stuff on hold…
FS- I found the videos from some of the bands you mentioned on YouTube. I like them muchly. Huzzah for you. And random bands whose names I can’t pronounce.
*random*
…MC Escher, that’s my favourite MC…[sic]
Halloween = Scholastic Scrimmage. Which I cannot spell. I had to look it up on the consent form. And our teacher won’t let us go in costume. There’s a bloody dress code. We need blouses and non-jean pants. And, for girls, the blouses cannot be black or white. Aargh. I have, I think, one blouse that isn’t black, white, or a combination of the two. I’m being a bit dramatic here, aren’t I? Pie at will.
I have to go read some Trivial Pursuit cards or something like that…
44- Are you new? Hello! *choklit pies*
I like Meatloaf. Not the food, the singing person. My sister is currently playing that Paradise song…
Science club was fun today. We had fun with the latency of corn starch and water. And made insulator from these random polymers. I asked the teacher what they were, but he gave a vague answer, so, I ask you:
A) What are they?
B) How would one create them from scratch?
My web searches have yielded kits only. *searches more*
29~ you’re right, that was extremely insensitive. Manic depression is a very serious disease, and not at all like normal angst. She isn’t going to “get over it”. She needs help.
omg. my life is the boringest thing. the problem with suicide in modern culture is that is has become too declasse with the wrist-slitting and the sleeping pills and the hanging from your crush’s swingset and omg have you never heard of an actual knife??????? also people use it as an easy way out like if theyre being bullied or w/ever. @#$%^&*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
does anyone here speak welsh or gaelic?
29-Look at our culture. We have more guns than adults. We can’t solve problems without the help of therapists, lawyers, or armed forces. We’re also addicted to soap operas-we don’t have Degrassi, but still. The police use PCP and LSD to interrogate, for god’s sake. Does it surprise you in the least that kids would take the example?
40-The planet Mercury. It’s astrological. Mercury does not actually recede, but it appears to from Earth. During this time, it is good to work on old projects, re-read books, visit old friends, etc. It is not good to quit your job, start a new project, or marry. Notice how NaNoWriMo starts in the middle of Mercury Retrograde.
44-The Cha-Cha Slide!
Today someone shut my new Countess Mara tie in my locker so that it got crammed between. I am so infuriated. Does anyone realize how much those things cost? All the other girls are like, “Don’t touch my UGGs!” and “Don’t look at my Dolce&Gabbana shirt/necklace/glasses/headband/panties!” But does anyone even think to speculate that something Queenie owns could be as special to her and even greater in monetary and sentimental value?!!? No, they do not. All they do is criticize me, tell me I dress strangely, and that my skin is too pale. Well, I’m French-Canadian. Doesitreallysurpriseyou. And hey, my pinky finger is sexier than a whole city of sunburnt limbs. I’m sick of my school and I’m frustrated with being bullied, teased, and baited all the time. I know I’m different. I know they hate me. If they could act like they didn’t? Hello?!?! Professionalism is not dead. I have lots of people who love me, but none of them go to my school.
RIGHT FOOT LETS STOMP. SLIDE TO THE RIGHT. SLIDE TO THE LEFT. CHACHA REAL SMOOTH
28- Wow. Must be high school. I feel so sorry for your friend. My friend is depressed, and I mean chronically depressed, and she takes meds and everything but she says “it doesn’t work”. She also has really bad acne even though she’s twelve, and my mom says that maybe the midicine gave her it.
Mmmm. On a Mac, you go up to Edit and select “Special Characters” You take it from there.

28–Oh my.
Thank heaven I have never experienced anything like that. I really don’t know what to say.
The closest I myself have ever come to that is thinking that I hated God. It only lasted for a second, but I prayed for DAYS afterward (and once for five hours; it was the Yom Kippur, the day of judgement, and I spent almost the whole day in synagogue) that I would never sink to that level again. I remember how horrible it was. I can’t even imagine what having a suicidal friend, or worse, being suicidal yourself, might be like.
You were so good with your friend, mate. Everyone who expericenced something like that was. I didn’t think these things happened in real life. I’m still trembling from reading those stories.
FrigidSymphony: Yes, American teenagers are more likely to be depressed that those of any other country. But the fact is, depression is a medical condition and suicidal teens must be treated as such despite the rule of averages. People are individuals, not numbers.
suicide-i cant even think about it im too afrai to die. like seriously afraid to die.like anytime i think of my own mortality, i cant sleep for hours. its scary. and like, even if they were able to transfer your brain to another person, would you still be in it? there would be no way to tell, because the person would think so. but you might be gone. bloody scary.
anything better than death. o vell.
50-addicted to soap operas? whos addicted to soap operas?
quennie, i feel for you. im in a cool skool, with awesome people. my high schools gonna be that way too. the rise of the smart geeks! im lucky. the only kid i know who is disliked (but not bullied) in my school is this 7th grader named dorian. but hes just strange. like creepy. he is obssessed with a girl in my class whom he has never talked to. he wears old fashoned formal clothes, and is a “socialist” not communist, but cannot say why. not very smart. i guess im very lucky.
54-I TOTALLY agree.
And now for something completely random…
I like to eat, eat, eat, sausages and pick-les…
I like to eat, eat, eat, sosages and puck-les…
I like to oat, oat ,oat… CHEESE!!!
50-Ah. Well there’s some local band apparantely named after that. Odd. And i definitely just spleled apparantly rong agane. Y kan’t Iy splel tha stoopid wurd rite?!?!?!? Owe wele, creeativ spleling pwnz.
Qveenie, you should totally come to my skool. We’re all weird. You’d fit right in. As for weird clothing, well, we have lucy. Nothing beats that.
Soap operas are a drug. Seriously, i don’t know who writes them but they must live in a high skool because we usually have a good number of excellent (ie confusing and pointlessly dramatic) plots going at once. None at the moment though, fortunately.
I coloured a sharpie today. We were in the costume room and bored. There are clicky sharpies in there. So i took one and coloured another one all black. It was pwettyful. Then we found a horrible skirt that we decided to make graham wear. Maniacal laugher ensued. Then i biked home in the dark and got yelled at for it by parentals, who still can’t seem to grasp the fact that we live in [Snippity-snipville, w00t! Lookit me, i’m a GAPA!] and can bike home after dark without A-being hit by a car B-being mugged/kidnapped, etc or C-falling off (something which i haven’t done since….7th grade mebbe? somewheres around there). Banned from comp tonight and tomorrow. Wow, i’m intelligent. I definitely forgot that i was banned until just now. Huzzah for Ebeth and her sugar high. And huzzah for frosted chex, which i don’t know why we bought but i’m very glad about! whee!
I think I’ll wear a tie tomorrow.
hey, that’s a good idea (coloring sharpies.)
random story: they put these big concrete blocks on the sidewalk outside my school to keep car bombers from driving into the front of the building. but they block the handicapped-accessible ramp. no one cares, because no one at my school has a wheelchair. now for the fun part: one of my friends has plans to paint them all sorts of loverly colors. maybe for the senior beautification project…
#14: How do you type those, anyway?
#16: The recordings we have to listen to in espanol tres really suck…The ppl talk so fast! I swear, at least 95% of my class can’t comprehend those things at all!
#28: …Do you ever find yourself wondering how some ppl (I’m referring to your friends…Sry : / ) can just do that? Like they don’t have any shame whatsoever? Props to you for helping this person. You’re the only one who did the right thing!
I think I have been in a similar situation – I have a friend who has bipolar (A person w/ bipolar is usually happy all the time, but about once a month they become extremely, extremely depressed. They are often pathological liars as well). After I met her, back in ninth grade, I noticed that she told a lot of crazy stories…and I noticed her dramatic mood swings. I asked my other friends (I was the new kid at skool) about this, but all of them either said they didn’t notice anything, or…got angry w/ me! They were in complete denial. Anyway, things got really bad during the spring of soph year, and…I wanted to help her. By then, my other friends were starting to admit that they were noticing her weird mood swings and stuff, but none of them wanted to do anything about it. I was out of ideas, so…I did the whole “tough love” thing – I told her to her face that she was a pathological liar, and needed to get some help…Big mistake. She had no idea that she was lying about so many things…But her mom wanted to talk w/ me later, and I told her everything…and she wasn’t even angry w/ me for telling her all of it – She believed me, and made my friend get some help – So I guess my plan did work, in a fashion. But I did lose a couple friends b/c of that…Oh well. I think I did the right thing. This all happened over a year ago, and my friend is somewhat better now – and we’re on good terms again. But when she needs someone to talk to, I try to help her (I hope my other friends do also…)…But it’s kinda hard for me, b/c I’m clinically depressed as well…I try my best, though. I think that’s all one needs to do when in this sort of situation – Just “be there,” be honest, and try your best…
I am currently dressed up as… um…. something. I have on khaki pants, with red shorts over them, then I have on a gray and pink soft sweater, then on top of that a pink short sleeved shirt, then a towelly-robe (Pink–why do I have all this pink stuff?!?!?) with a comb and umbrella sticking out of it. (The long kind, not the short)
And in the sweater, I have stuffed tissues in my sleeve, as I am sick and need them constantly, and I have a raincoat on top of all of that, with goggles on my head, a hair clip in my hair, (along with a pencil and a paintbrush) and clothespins all over–Oh, yes, and ankle socks.
I decided that bedtime was a monotonous routine and needed some mixing up.
TTFN, TaTa For Now!
28 (Julieb)- That is absolutely terrible. I can’t say I’ve ever experienced anything like that, but I do honestly hope that you will all be all right. Last year, one of my closest friends started cutting. I think she was doing it for attention, but it was still one of the hardest things in my life. When something like that happens, you feel like you have no one to turn to. I couldn’t talk to my parents (they’d forbid me from associating with her ever again), or a school counselor (ours gave out stickers and candy if you’d been particularly responsive and was trained to work with playground bullies, not self-mutilation). It forces you to grow up, to take responsibility, to hold another person’s life in your hands. And that’s really, really hard.
Keep going. You’re doing the right thing.
29 (FS)- I think you should find an American exchange student program. A lot of your misconcieved generalizations could easily be corrected by three days here.
Just because you have never met someone with the medical condition of depression doesn’t mean they don’t exist. It certainly doesn’t mean you can call the condition overreacting. It’s like blaming an autistic person for not understanding your emotions. Julieb’s friend will not ‘get over it’ as quickly as you or I, and you need to respect that.
Cheese and shiny objects,
Penty out.
#46: Ooo, I’ve done that thingie w/ cornstarch + water before! Hehe…First it’s gloopy, then it’s hard…
#50: I’m sry . That’s junior high for you…Just hang in there – Things do get better in high skool, believe it or not. It’s really weird to look at all the ppl I’ve known since junior high…and see that we’ve all become so much more unique and appreciative of each other’s individuality…Most of us, anyway – I do run into jerks occasionally…But there aren’t as many as there were in junior high.
Today we (The Thespian Club) had auditions for the play – Anyone ever heard of a play called SPAR (Steven’s Play About Renata)? I think I did okay – For part of my audition, I had to act like a ditz, and I had to act like a schizophrenic for the rest of the audition…The fact that I’m already kinda crazy in real life made the whole thing pretty easy! ^_^
oooh Pheonix, I like that rule about being able to marry the guy who raped you in the torah. Now I can’t imagine most people would want to, but I can see someone marrying them then immediatly getting divorced so that the guy had to pay for the child. See, this is why I want to become Jewish. That, and the big party you get at 13. That’s always a plus.
Righto, I’ll stop talking about religion. Just read that post.
woah kiwimuncher. In post 287 you described the BEST DESERT EVER! (what do you want to be I’m spelling desert wrong?)
You know what three parts of the random forum tells you? We musers are waaay too random. I think there should be an article on muse in which us, the fans, get to send articles in about anything we want and they’ll print the best ones. They could be total randomness, and I would forever cherish that muse.
Ebeth, the same thing happened to me on my french test that happened on your latin test. We had to fill in verbs, and since I couldn’t remember what the verbs meant but knew one of them was “remplir”, I just filled in remplir on all three. And I can’t even remember what remplir means. But I’m pretty sure I have like a 150% in french, so no worries.
Julieb, my mom is a behavioral and developmentarl pediatrician, so though she isn’t like a psychiatrist (sp?), she does sometimes deal with kids that are thinking about committing suicide, and sends them to her psychiatrist (sp?) friends. Obviously adults already know about this, so you don’t have to inform anyone. At this point, just being there for her is what you did, and should continue to do in the future. If she truly is manic (sp?) depressive, she has highs and lows, and this was one of her lows. The fact that you stuck with her through her crying shows just how lovely of a person you are. Don’t blame your friends for running away; they were probably very scared and really didn’t know how to act. The fact that it affected you so much shows how comforting someone that is threatening to kill herself is a very scary thing. I myself had to comfort a friend when she admitted to me she was cutting. I applaude you for what you did, and I hope the girl is alright in the future. You and your friends keep an eye on her, k?
kiki, she probably just has really bad acne. i started getting acne when I was 10, and it’s only gotten worse since then. I’m not a self conscious person, except when it comes to my skin, thanks to the lovely child in 5th grade that called me “pizza face”.
omg, nerdz! I like to eat, eat, eat eepples and beeneenees! I like to oat, oat, oat, opples and bononos! I like to oot, oot, oot, ooples and bununus! I like to ite, ite, ite, iypples and bynynys!

I FINISHED THE END OF THE END! This is why I haven’t been posting, since I’ve been avidley reading since my wonderful gorgeous kind generous talented smart friend lent The End to me. All day at school people were jealous, and I was like, “Ha! I have the end and you don’t!” I’m not going to give anything away, but it does leave questions. Still, I was thorougly satisfied with the end of the end, and this book is even further proof that Lemony Snicket is a genious. It was a little sad though, which is funny, because these books are a series of unfortunate events, which you would automaticly think would be sad, yet true sadness is rareish in these books. Ok, I’m going to stop talking before I give something away.
Toodles!
oh, shoot. I hate to double post, but I just realized I mixed up being manicly (sp?) depressed with being bipolar. Woops. Shows just how much I listen to me mum.
(24, Sweet Melpomene) What is quiz bowl?
(25, Frank_Sinatra) Hi! Are you new? *pies with blackberry-coconut pie* Welcome!
That sounds cool about band. Guitar is great and so is jazz band. I play clarinet/bass clarinet in band, but last year I did piano in jazz band. That was fun too. I’m kinda obsessed with band to now; it’s sort of consuming my life. But that’s ok coz band nerds have more fun :D.
(28 Julieb) Wow, that’s intense. It sounds like you did the right thing. I mean, if had been anything less, I would have said just stay out of it, because it’s probably just teenage drama and will sort itself out. But it sounds like the girl does actually have real problems, so it’s good that you provided an outlet for her. I guess it’s best just to be nice to her and make her feel not completely alone and unappreciated; sometimes that’s all a person needs.
(29 Frigid Symphony) Ok, so I might seem like a total hypocrite for saying this after what I just wrote, but you make a point, though I would question your phrasing of it. It’s teenage drama in general. there is a very large “poor me, I can’t handle my problems” feeling in high school. I would credit it to the movies and TV shows (all those cop shows with depressed teenage suicides/homicdes) that people watch… and just the general message of the media in general, which is that if you have problems, you are special and interesting.
(Not to say that some people don’t have real problems, but not as many as people make seem)
(44+45) I love that song! *does dance*
(46 SM) What’s scholastic scrimmage? Sucks that you have to miss Halloween. But Science Club sounds cool. I can’t answer you’re question, though…
(50 Queenie) That makes me really mad. That people are so mean, I mean. You are probably the most intelligent person my age I know (or at least half-way know). I would give up being freinds with almost all of the people I hang out to know some one like you. Not to sound stalkerish, I’m just sick of talking to pasta-heads. But seriously, it’s like if some one doesn’t follow the tasteless, bland mainstream fashion and actually has an active brain in their head as opposed to a modem to hook their cell phone up to, they’re shunned. Ikk. Well, we love you Queenie. High school is better (my middle school experience was bad too). Because, as incredibly impossible as it may seem, people do actually grow up.
(60, Zyka) Most Excellent :dude:
(62, emogrl) Haha! Cool. Theatre pwns.
Today was a late start day coz of conferences, but we had marching practice in the morning. After practice, there was pizza and fruit slushies for everyone.
It was like chickens crowding around a pile of seed. I though I was gonna be crushed under the weight of people pushing to get food.The slushies were gone in minutes, but I still went back for seconds, in the vain hope that some might have been overlooked.
Long story short, I ended up gettting the giant styrofoam container that held all the slushies. It still had a bit left at the bottom. I just walked around with a bunch of spoons and my freinds and I stood there eating slushy. Then the bell rang and I wasn;t done, so I took it to biology and sat with a gallon sized container for the first 10 minutes of class (we were watching a movie, otherwise I would have throw it out).
Needless to say, I was bouncing of the wall for the rest of the day.Fun fun fun.
/ridiculously long post.
first off: People ARE numbers! does no on know what psychohistory is? [/bad joke]
and i would so love doing an american exchange program. You know that high schools here (called Liceo) are selective? You can only get in with a certain grade average. And a pretty high one.
63- Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) is Jewish. Huzzah!
Today is going to be a long day. We have 351368868135432lbs of homework in both math and chem. And I have a driver’s ed theory class tonight. I do not want to sit for two hours and listen to someone go on about not driving through a red light. *dies* I probably won’t get online at home….
50- Would suggesting revenge techniques be immauture? It would be funny… Erm, hang in there. You’ll find cooler people in HS. Hopefully. Well, you’ll find different people, anyway.
58- Haha, we got thick yellow poles in front of our school for the same reason….
63- Wow, that was a long post. I hated the end of The End.
65- Quiz bowl and scholastic scrimmage are the same thing. It’s a quiz bowl, but they call it a scholastic scrimmage. Each school has a team and they answer questions about obscure trivia or math. The teams go against eachother in a lovely nerd-off. And someone eventually wins.
I don’t want to go back to class. It’s going to be soooooooo dull. Propoganda techniques for pseudocampaigns. Which wouldn’t be bad if we didn’t waste so much time just talking about stupid things. During the first half of the period today, my class went on about baseball-team themed urns. No joke. And it’s not even the whole class. Just the teacher and about five of the students she loves. Everyone else was bored beyond all reason. I could have been doing my homework!
I feel so nerdy for saying that.
Sorry for the double post, but I have just had an Einstein-worthy realization!! When you sit down at a computer, you always have to go to the bathroom! I’m still working out the details, but the equation will be C=B1².
(69) Great! Maybe while your at it, you can find an equation for how it’s always hot the day you finally wear a sweater.
(66) Yeah! Come to America! despite the obvious negative points (ei, government and a culture based in excess of everything), it actually can be a pretty cool place. As long as you come to the right spot. and find the right people (like Musers). And, even though we complain about it a lot (and rightfully so), our education system is good in that doesn’t say no to anyone. I mean, that’s also a bad thing, because you end up with a lot of pasta-heads who only get through hisgh school because they learn how to milk the system, but it also means everyone has a chance. Maybe not a fair chance, but a chance.
Actually, I’m a little sad. My dad’s next sabbatical is due next year, (which means normally we would move to France for a year) but it’s not going to happen. He just started a brand new institute for collabortation between math educators and researchers, so he can’t exactly leave for a year now. But maybe when I’m a junior.
I get today and friday off!
*jigs*
I mean, I’m a not a stranger to the states, I’ve been to manhattan a lot to visit relatives. I have memories of standing on top of the twin towers…
But I think selective high schools are better. The more intelligent people get into high school, and everyone else can start working. Here it’s called getting an apprenticeship.
28- I can sort of relate to your story…
My friend Heather really liked this guy who was sort of her friend, but wouldn’t talk to her around other people who were popular and stuff. She also had a popularish friend who was gaining status and stuff, and she would ignore/dis Heather in front of her other friends. When Heather talked to her about it, she said stuff like Ellen must have, like “you have no real frieds” and “everyone hates you so just leave us alone” which were not true at all, Me+my other 3 friends are good friends with her even though she’s a year younger than us. Anyway, she was getting all sad over this stuff, and then the guy she liked(((I’ve sworn under oath never to reveal his name, so I’ll just call him Dale))) wouldn’t talk to her at all, so she got really sad. Then he started saying stuff like “i hate you go away” and she would get so depressed… we would go out of our way just to give her a hug in the halls. Eventually she got a little better((although she did change from harry potter freak to goth that year; but I think she would have gone goth anyway)) and was more like her normal self… she made other friends with the goth people(it was really fun-we snuck out of the 8th grade gym where we have to sit for 15 minutes while school starts and sat with her and her new friends in the 7th grade gym-we had a mini poetry slam. It was great) adn she’s a lot btter now.
I guess I would sugest just being extra nice to her, and another really good thing you could do is sit with her at lunch and stuff. Try to make sure she’s not alone all the time, maybe write her a note or two to read in class.
Also, don’t blame your friends. I remember when Heather first started getting depressed(and it wasn’t acting-she cried a lot) I didn’t know what to do… I’d never really had somthing like that happen before to anyone I really knew. They were probably scared. The fact that you helped her when she really needed it and didn’t leave her alone shows how great of a person you are. You did good.
50- high school will be better, for one thing, in highschool the “cool” eighth graders will be puny freshmen, and also, there are cok people in other grades who are actually cool instead of “cool”.
66- one- that was a bad joke
2- you mis understand. crowds are numbers, but the reasoon the whole plan was thrown off was because ONE person didn’tfit. i won’t keep going into it so i don’t give it away- but read all books by issac asimov
69/70- its called murphy’s law
Hello. I just got out of school early today, but I had to take the bus home and even though it says the bus comes every ten minutes, I had to wait over 20 minutes for both times! It took me an hour to get home. Darn!
(71) Yeah, we have apprenticeships here too, though they are less common. My cousin is doing one right now.
I see the benefits of the selective high school, and sometimes I wish we had that (well we do, but not for regular public schools), but I like our system because it gives you more time. I mean, I remeber when I lived in France, they were already trying to get my sisters to choose their classes based on what they thought their careers would be. And my oldest sister was only in 9th grade.
In a less selective system, you don’t have to know where your going immediatly. You can take classes just because they seem interesting. Even if you’re not very good at academics, you still have a chance to go to school.
I might also add that just because you’re not good at school, doesn’t mean your less intelligent. Some people just struggle in school. But they might still want to do something other than an apprenticeship.
On the other hand, because of the openess of our system, it often ends up just being a game of how-to-beat the system. So many kids I know haven’t learned a thing from their classes; they just regurgitate anwers in essays and get away with 100%.
That’s also something good about European schooling. The grades aren’t inflated like they are in America. I have 104% in one of my classes right now. That’s competely ridiculous. It doesn’t mean I’m smart, it means that the system awards way to many points for small things.
So, that was kind of an incoherent post, but basically, I think both systems have lots of ups and downs. I don’t think one is really better than the other, at least in princible. In practice, it depends.
*is really bad at voicing a deffinate opinion*
49 – I wish I did. Sorry, no.
69 – LAUGH OUT LOUD. AKA lol. What does the 1(exponent)2 stand for?
Sorry, I’m lazy, I didn’t read over the posts. Only skimmed. I’m a bad MuseBlogger.
Random idea to test for myself:
Do the italics and stuff work if they’re capitalized?
I got a radio.
Put it on soft and low.
I have decided what I am going to do. I am going to print out my bibliography on bright blue paper. Oh yeah. Then I’m going to go to fencing, and then hand in the bib tomorrow afternoon.
I don’t have school tomorow! I can’t wait, I can sleep in, eat breakfast, be lazy, spend time with the animals… My steer’s half birthday is in 9 days, what should I give him? I was thinking some molasses because he likes it.
73- I heard of murphy’s law somewhere. It stated that when you build a computer and you close the case when you first turn it on, something will go wrong, and you will have to open the case. Today, i went onto wikipedia to know what it actually is, and here it is, folks…
whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
one time i wrote that god is a stalker.
PS i hatehatehatehate the cha cha slide. it is sooooo ah-nnoying!! we have to dance to it in gym class and everyone is all w00t and im just like, whatever. i hate you whoever made up this stoopid dance.
the closest thing to a depressed friend ive ever had was when my friend found out that her crush liked someone else and she cut herself with a pen cap.
(6) Gary…requested I post this for him:

29- you know, I’m from the states. And until about a month ago, I had never known anyone who felt like that, etc, either, and I pretty much assumed what you did and thought they were mostly being drama queens, due to the number of emo/preppy people being all like “woe is me my life is a pit of endless angst black black as my soul” etc. And then a close friend of mine broke down one day as we were walking to third, and told me that she had gone crazy last night and started clawing at herself and so now had bruises on her arms. And she’s not a drama queen type. so yeah, it can be real, and it can be serious, and I should be doing my history essay, but I’m not, and I think I’ll go now.
And I took the psat wednesday- all the sophomores and juniors at my school take it. It was easy.
I just talked to Penty on the phone. She sounds a lot different that you would think. We’re getting together on Sunday. Any Chicago RSVP’s?
The cha-cha slide is…. Interesting.
I just got my mental_floss mag. Hurray!! I shall read it now.
(28) You just did it. I have felt similar, though not on the same level, emotions and the best thing a person can do is seriously and calmly listen, and help out in a way that shows you care.
To me, it’s appalling her friends didn’t help her as you did. I’ve often gotten angry with my friends because they don’t seem to care enough about what I’m feeling, but que sera sera. I think it’s great that you skipped class to help her, though.
Any good high skool in nyc is selective. like, very much so. 3 skoold i want to go to. 1st one. SAT stlye test. must have around 85 score to get in. have taken about 20 hours of prep for it, and have acheived an 87. 2nd 1. own test, with essay, and math. looks at grades, attendance, and interview. 2rd. need an english project, graded, and a math project, graded. give both to skool. interview, grades, and attendance. turns out your not so special after all .
anyhoo, is vv stressful. theres like , at good skools, 1 chance in 20 kids to get in.
now, i have to go write my 6 page historical fiction project! yay!
28 — maybe you should be telling someone about your friend and her problems. not that i would know because i only ever had my friend stab herself with a pen cap.
85 (kiki)- I have a terribly nasal voice, and I’m very quiet when I don’t have a Backspace key.
Chicago Musers, Kokonvention Sunday-ish? We can always have another one. And it’ll be awesome if more than two people come.
I love the cha-cha slide when I have other people to make an idiot of myself with. Coward.
the simpsons are having a movie in july 2007. im gonna be like the first in line to buy tickets.
90- Just because of your voice, I picture you with a small nose and brown hair. Am I right? You also heard my bro, didn’t you?
#60: Hon, I dress like that every single day!
No. Not really. LOL
Oh my goodness, I just started a pie war in the emptyspiral forums – Hehehe…I’m still a newblet there too! Wow, that just made me feel so good.
I got my proofs from senior pix back today…Looking at them felt extremely weird – I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s b/c I basically nvr look in the mirror, or maybe it’s my new haircut – It was just so weird to look at all those pictures (They’re not even retouched yet, either!)…It just felt like I was looking at a different person!
Well, I’m an extra in the play. I was a bit disappointed at first, but then I learned that there was only one speaking part open (My friend got that part b/c she’s awesome like that), and only two extra parts open, for some reason. And I think about nine or ten ppl auditioned, so…guess I didn’t do that badly!
We played my favourit theatre game today at the meeting – Hitchhiker. Bet some of you have heard of it – It’s the improv game where there are three ppl in a “car,” and they pick up a fourth person – This person is supposed to act like a crazy character, and the rest of the ppl have to act like that also. The “driver” can get out at any time – When they do, the ppl all move up a seat, and then the new driver has to pick up a new hitchhiker. Whenever I have to make up a character, it’s usually either a little kid or a ditzy person, for some reason. The first time I was a hitchhiker, I decided to be a girl scout selling cookies…The second time I couldn’t think of anything, so I just got in the “car,” punched the person in front of me, and yelled “SLUG BUG!!” Then this guy got in the car + played he was a gangster…It was so funny. I think this whole Thespian club thing is going to be pretty cool…
88 (dlod)- To get into a really good school for really smart people here, you have to be smart. But you can still succeed in a normal public school, which is why I’m glad I don’t live in Japan or another country that places so much emphasis on your high school. Doubtless I would have made it in, but I wouldn’t like the pressure. Gak…cram school. (This coming from someone who took the SATs, wrote six essays, and hunted down teacher reccomendations to allow herself to drown in homework.)
83 (Axa)- ilu, Gary!!!!!11!!1ELEVENTYONE!!21!!
LAWLZ.
Who’s Gary?
93 — that sounds weird. thank god i have no acting talent.
93 (emogrl)- I love that game.
92 (kiki)- Yup. Small nose, freckles, pale skin, very messy long brown hair, semi-Asian hazel eyes, pierced ears, atrocious fashion sense. Now if anyone sees me on the street, they know who I am.
95 (also Kiki)- Gary is Axa’s appendage-ripping, toothpick-stabbing net-lit crusader. Spammy first posts tend to set him off rather badly.
HijustgotbackfromabandconcertpleasehelpmeGAPASwhatisaprojectIcando thatisabouttheconstitutionthatIcandointwohours,answerfastitsduetomorrow!!!
AAASAVEMEEE!!!
Please, GAPAS, what is a project I can do about the constitution that I can do in two hours? I have thought of maybe summarizing the articles, but that seems like a lot of work.
I have to work quickly before my brain explodes from lateness of time.
If you aren’t on, go ahead and ignore me. But if SOMEONE is on…..
SAVE MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *brain explodes* Oooh, I didn’t know I knew THAT……
gulp.
Apparently, according to mmy Spanish teacher, if you write “inglés” without the accent, it doesn’t mean “english”
Oh no, not at all.
It means something else. Something vulgar. My Spanish teacher turned bright red when he talked about it, and we didn’t press him.
Well, actually, we did. But the GAPAs would kill me.
(93) That sounds really fun.
Meh. I wish I could go to one of those rendez vous (what would the plural of rendez vous be?). Maybe I’ll hitch hike to Chicago…
There were construction works all around my house today making lots of noises with jack hammers. Grr.
28,29 etc. – as she actually has a medical problem, she does need help tell an adult you trust. Keep in mind that we support you! hugs and good luck
49- Ydy. well, a little bit.
and that is all that I have time to get to tonight. soomany posts….
IT’s MA BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
w00t!
Please.
Help. I still don’t know what to do… AND I AM RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!!
GAPAS, at least acknowledge me, and give me SOME kind of idea.
I really don’t know what to do. And it is really late and my brain has already exploded.
I don’t want it to explode even more.
(I wouldn’t even GO to school tomorrow, because I am sick, except for the fact that I have a Social Dance test tomorrow)
Our teacher’s exact words were:
“As long as it is somehow related to the constitution, you can use it as a project.” When asked what a project was, she ignored me.
Bleh.
I have NO idea what I am doing, and she should change the due date because everyone else hasn’t started either. (Okay, maybe they have NOW, but they hadn’t when they were in class today.)
Zyka,
I hereby acknowledge you and your quest for a project on the constitution. Sadly, no project idea is springing to my mind either.
How about this: compare the U.S. constitution and the constitution of some other place and write about how the two societies reflect the differences in their constitutions.
Trouble is, that might take a while. And it seems like you don’t have much time, right?
108) Correctlings.
I have thought of simplifying the whole entire document to 750 words or 1000 words. The problem is that I don’t understand some parts of it.
For examples:
“Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first
Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes.
The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the
Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the
fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so
that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by
Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any
State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next
Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.”
and:
“Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several
States which may be included within this Union, according to their
respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number
of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and
excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual
Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the
Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years,
in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives
shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have
at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the
State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight,
Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six,
New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia
ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.”
Yup, verra comfusin.
That is an amazing idea, though…. I wish I could have asked you before and done that. That would be cool.
Wow, I am really going to be tired in the morning. I doubt if I will get three hours sleep. I still have most of the Constitution to go, and I don’t get part of it at all. How can I simplify something I don’t get?
And some little parts need to be explained.
And after this, I need to do my math and my history.
Yeeks.
Rosanne, I am using your idea. It is a wonderful one, and the Cambodian Constitution looks pretty good.
The preamble is hilairious, I think:
“Accustomed to having been an outstanding civilization, a prosperous, large,
flourishing and glorious nation, with high prestige radiating like a diamond,
Having declined grievously during the past two decades, having gone through
suffering and destruction, and having been weakened terribly,
Having awakened and resolutely rallied and determined to unite for the consolidation of national unity, the preservation and defense of Cambodia’s territory and precious sovereignty and the fine Angkor civilization, and the restoration of Cambodia into an “Island of Peace” based on a multi-party liberal democratic regime guaranteeing human rights, abiding by law, and having high responsibility for the nation’s future destiny of moving toward perpetual progress, development, prosperity, and glory,
WITH THIS RESOLUTE WILL
WE inscribe the following as the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia:”
It does fit their culture perfectly, too, as they are a nation with many “supreme” customs (supreme in quotes not because they aren’t but because they believe them to be….) and are dominantly Tharhblahdyblah Buddhist, and treat you as your status says you should be.
The higher you are, the higher you are treated.
Yeek. There is impending doom.
Well, I can’t say tomorrow, because tomorrow is today, but I have about 2 sentences written, I can barely think, and oh dangit I just got a headache.
I really just want to go to sleep but I can’t because I have to do SOMETHING for tomorrow.
Ooooh! Bad Zyka! Quatrytrumple posting!
unless someone else put stuff there.
I FINALLY FINISHED!!!!
I decided against doing the Cambodia thing because it was taking too long. So I made up a scenario that we could do.
With some information and stuffs.
Hey, I am just glad I am done so I can *try* to get two hours’ sleep before I go to school and live through a terrible day of tiredness.
(My stomach is feeling very acidic. Very, so that my throat feels acidic. Not nice, but I ate some grainy-group stuff, and it feels a bit better)
Oh my, Zyka, you sure had a tough night! You really shouldn’t go to school–take a retest or something. I mean seriously, go back to sleep!
I still haven’t gotten my October Muse. Is this a bad sign, or is it just because I live in Canadia, the Land of the Ice and Snow?
Drop your panties, Sir William, I cannot wait till lunchtime.
OK, I gotta go to the bus.
Zyka – I know I’m too late, but you could do something about the constitution being made. Like a family tree or something. I don’t know. A description of each of the Founding Fathers, and a picture. Or something. I really don’t know. That sounds like a kindergardener’s project. Oh, well. It was an idea.
113- I hope you get a good grade on your project
Zyka (111),
The preamble is a little less funny when you think about what Cambodia actually did go through during those two decades, under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. It’s worth finding out about. Hope your project gets a good grade!
47: I didn’t say that manic depresseion wasn’t serious, I only doubt very much that she has it. Still, if she does, it’s only more proof of what a screwed up society you have in the US.
GGGGGGRRRRRRRRR
The Sage is annoyed!!!!!!!!!!
I let a friend use my Computer to post, and now Every time I want to post, I have to change my name back.
120 – That’s what it was like with PP and I, until we decided that one person would use Firefox, one would use Safari or Explorer.
Zyka – Do I say good luck, or I hope you get a good grade, or you’d better have done a good job or you’re going to get a bad grade? You can pick either #1 or #2, and I suppose #3 as well. But I wouldn’t suggest it.
Zyka, OMG. Well, i hope you get a good grade so all your latenite endeavors will have been worth it.
i tried out for a lawyer on one of our school’s mock trials teams and so did my friend and so we made this “pact” that if we made it or if we didnt we wouldnt have any spaz attacks. then we were laughing hysterically all the way to the mock trials room. neither of us made it but thats ok because we technically tried out for the other team so we might have made it onto that one :grin:. anyway, we were calm until about halfway down the hallway and then we started laughing again and stayed like that all the way home. i am still hieper! :mrgreen:!
“I felt freakin’ emo there for a minute!” — me
oh, by the way, my gifted seminar teacher named one of my story characters ian bagadonuts. plllllllllllllllllllllllzz dont ask. i dont even know where that came from. its even weirder cause my friends younger brother is named ian.
Thanks for all your support guys. I’m going to talk to Jordan again on Monday. Meanwhile, I’m going to try to be cheerier on MB. I figure, with that’s wrong with the world and such a short time to live, I should make the most of it and be happy. I am going to try to convince Jordan to talk to child welfare people about getting emancipated if things don’t get better, but when I talked to her last she seemed much better. And yes FS, she does have depression. I think she takes zoloft or prozac or something for it. Society does not cause an imbalance of serotonin in the brain. It is purely chemical, otherwise she would not feel better when put on SSRIs, now would she?
So last night was the choir concert, which was pretty amazing. It was kind of awkward though b/c i was kind of late, so i got there as the sevvies were walking up to the stage and everybody for some unknown reason was sitting way in the front center. so i had to walk/run past everybody to get there before they started. Anyway, concert was really good, we saw monica and michelle and leeny and everybody, and then afterwards we went over to danny’s and hung around until about 11. Then i didn’t feel like going to sleep so i stayed up until like 2 playing Snood, which is the next calculator game obsession (following Tetris, which now bores me slightly. Still better than math class though ), and reading. Then i slept in really late, went to panera for dad’s b-day and was threatened with various “fun, exciting” things like a pumpkin show (just for the record A-ok, we all love pumpkins, but really, large pumpkins aren’t particularly exciting B-It was definitely wet and drizzly and not fair-type weather C-it was 45 min away) Fortunately parentals found some garage sale or something, went there, we came home, and then they went back again to look at something else. Now we’re gonna watch a movie, then football game w00t! And we’re going to fail miserably. I know, i say this every week, but really we had 4 days to learn the show and one of those days was only 20 min long cuz of the PSAT. Plus i don’t remember the Pretty Fly dance, and we’re in the front row, which for pretty fly means on the track right under their noses. Oh well, senior show, always fun. Lucy won the couch thing this time but she was grounded so she had to give it away.
I have a semi-sort-of idea for nano. Doubt it’ll last 50000 words, but it’s a start.
Life.
Yesterday I tried out for my school play, Guys and Dolls. I wanted to be Adelaide, but today they posted the cast list, and I saw I was Nicely!! OMG, I’m a dude! But I have roughly 3 solos and in my moms words, “the character with the most character”.
Choir concerts! fun.
I sing in a choir and we’re singing Mozart’s Coronation Mass witht the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in a few weeks!
i feel like talking about the inside of a broom cupboard so here it is
1. broom cupboards are dark thats why if you have one big enough you always trip over stuff unless you have a light in the cupboard
2. they are almost always dusty……i like to write stuff in the dust like dust me or _____ was here unless you hav anti dust closets or you or any1 in your family loves cleaning everything including thngs which are so cluttered that its the only thing they can do to make it look nice
3.they are SUPPOSED to be messy……..all you who have clean,undusty,and organized broomcupboards i can mess it up for you
4. some people dont even have brooms in their broom cupboards…..I mean seriously dosent that take away the greatness of a true broomcupboard………….grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…………these cupboards have to be called cupboards formally or never known as broom cupboards
…………. ok that was my long comment of randomness……….
i have moments………
I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM
Thats ok, LOTBC, we’re all that random and more. Just wait.
93-Ever played the Tray Game? One person picks up a tray and hands it to another person with a message to bring it to (name). This person adds something to it and hands it off to a third person, who adds something to it and hands it off, etc. It’s lots of fun. Our tray started out as giraffe feed and ended up as the tampon supply to Guantanamo Bay. (Don’t ask.)
115-What is that from?!?!?
126-Nicely Nicely Johnson is my favorite character. That is amazing. Cheerie cheers for you.
We-ell, I know it’s still going, but it never will end…
66- Coolness. I wanted to go to Ireland, but my parents wouldn’t let me…and I couldn’t fund it myself. There are quite a few exchange students in my school. You should totally do it. It would be lots of fun. I think… Actually, there’s something I could post here so that everyone in the nation would know what school I go to….but that’s a bad idea. I don’t think I’ve said too much, though….I hope…. Actually, my school is the exact opposite of selective.
73- Murphy’s Law! w00tness! I was going to mention that, actually. I have a lovely poster in my room that features it.
78- Fencing! We started fencing today.
82- I had a friend who attempted to cut herself with a pencil cap. Her arm just turned white, though…she was going through a rather rough time. She was also frightened of blood. Yeah.
101- You just made me look it up. Thanks, buddy. Haha, it’s like how papá is dad and papa is potatoe….I think….and Papa is Pope….ish…
I’ll be gone tomorrow visiting RPI….bleah…..then I have a hard lab to finish and some killer thermochem worksheet problems. Of course, everyone is clueless, but mostly my lab partner [the one who wasn’t absent today] and I were the most confounded of all. But our wonderful teacher walked us through them…so, yay. We’re doing electron configurations next. Which will rock because I actually can do that. YAY.
And I majorly butchered the last problem on my calc test. My average in that class is completely screwed. And I think the quarterly exam in two Mondays from now. So I shouldn’t miss it. Huzzah. If it’s Tuesday or Wed., I will miss it. I do not care. I don’t want to think about it right now. Of course, I’ll probably miss my Gov’t one, but that’s not much of a problem.
Life. *Marvin moment!* Don’t talk to me about life.
Okay, randomness.
I have a spiffy family tree project to do for Span. It shall be fun. Because we can be creative, and make the tree something that isn’t actually a tree! I’m thinking a tree-pipe hybrid. In pink and brown and tan and green and marigold. It’s going to be so much fun. I LURVE Spanish class.
Excuse me as I read chapter five of my book of knowledge [read as: chem book]. The teacher let me take my homework home to review over the weekend, which I am so completely greatful [grateful?] for. Major lifesaver there.
And someone actually e-mailed me our typed homework questions. I didn’t expect that. The other people in that class are all seniors who have been in all of the same classes for years and are therefore quite tight. It’s intimidating [sp?] being the junior new kid.
And I still need a PJAS project. Before Nov. 7. II wish I could do something with superconductors, but I’m not sure how I could put one into an actual experiment. Scientific method and all…*sigh* Or even get insane temperatures. Hmm… *searches more*
its very strange being called lotbc itcould stand for anything like
Lover Of Crazy Bear Catchers
Lunatic Of Chicago’s Beautiful City
or somthing like that but i dont mind so ya i just didnt want to stop talking on mb
ty for the name julieb
130-Fanks!
I’m carving a Koko pumpkin tomorrow.
I think I have a callasium(sp).
Hah! Here I am, awake and good as new!
I slept until 12:something (I went to sleep at almost 4:00) and then went to the last half of school.

I’m so exited about Sunday! I’m going to see Penty at a local cafe. Any Chicago-ers want to come? It would be great if it wasn’t just me and her. Pweez?

teehee
137 (kiki)- Hopefully. I’ll call you if I can’t make it; I haven’t gotten a chance to talk to my parents about the whole deal.
So, how’s your love life going? (For newbies: This is the Rhetorical Question. I ask it frequently, when I have nothing else to say. It’s better than the the seemingly standard comment about cheese. Do not answer unless you really want to.)
I lurve Evanescence. *scuttles off to Music thread*
Being super bored an procrastinating waaaaaay more than I should, I was just playing around on MB and I clicked on the “Uncategorized” category. There’s nothing in there. Go check it out. So, why does it exist? It serves no purpose. But that is one of the great questions in life, as many things exist that serve no purpose and to question their existance is useless. So, I give my full approval to having a useless folder. I think this post is probably pretty useless to, but oh well.
We did guys and dolls last year! w00t! mostly b/c there were strippers. Yep, that’s hellsclaw for you. but he’s gone, w00t!
Good game…we didn’t mess up too bad…only problem, i REALLY had to go to the bathroom. All through the march to the skool and pregame. Couldn’t leave any time in there. I didn’t even try to play, it’s pretty much impossible when you have to go that bad. After pregame i definitely shoved my trumpet at cheese and ran for it. Haven’t been that close to wetting my pants in quite a long time.
But anyway, i’m sure you all really care…
We’re totally on football friday night. Go us! Well actually the football team is. but whatev.
Oh and apparantely supersneaky videotaped our london halftime show and put it on youtube. Must go find now. I’d tell y’all what to search for, but the GAPAs would zap it. XD

#126: Hey, congratulations for getting a part! My high skool did a production of G+D a few yrs ago.
#128: LOtBC, welcome to the Origin of Randomness. *Pies w/ tofu taco pie* You can be as random as you want here. Pretty cool, huh? Yeah. So are tapiers…Is your broom closet under the stairs? Are you related to Harry Potter?
#130: Haha…I’ve never heard of that game, but I’ll def bring it up at the next meeting!
#134: Yeah, that’s good that you got to sleep after that! Did you end up pulling a complete all-nighter? Those really suck. LOL, the last time I did that (I used to be an insomniac), I had coffee and a few no-bakes for breakfast…and then I was just fine! Hehe…
#135: I’ve read the first one…Best anime I’ve ever come across so far!
I’m letting my hair air-dry for the first time since I got it layered…It’s doing something very, very weird right now…I’m starting to get scared.
Today was awesome – We watched Over the Hedge in Spanish class (The raccoon talking en espanol was so cute)…Then I went to 2/3 hr (biology), where we watched one of my favourit movies, Spirited Away…Then I went to both lunches, b/c I have a free hr…Then I went to sixth hr (Chorale). I’m not entirely sure what happened, but a random sequence of events led to the entire choir having this group hug…which was actually more funny than creepy. Then I went to seventh hr (Stats)…and we did a practice AP test problem… and, for once in my life, I understood the freaking problem! That just made me feel good. Like, even better than I did during that messed up group hug in sixth hr.
I have a stupid question. *Takes deep breath* Right, here it goes…
How does one use AIM??
*Cheeks turn bright red* Right, I know it’s an instant messenger, and I do know what those are, but…that’s all. I have an AIM account, but I have no idea how to use it.
:shy:
ok…
on to xplanation-
open aim/ aol.
type in account to im. type message. press “send” wait for relpy. repeat.
not very difficult. whats wrong? ask a question about what you dont get.
emogrl, I ADORE IMPROV GAMES! I did this very intense theater camp this summer, and we had an improv class. The teacher wanted us to get over being embarressed when doing crazy things in front of people, so as homework we had to go into a public place every week, get the peoples’ attention, and shout, “Emphasize the hate and not the corn beef!” before running out. My friends and I did it in all these shops in san fransico, and it was extremley embarresing but very fun. I love hitchhiker also, but my fav game is prom. You have four settings, the admitence room, the dance floor, behind the stage with the band, and the girl’s bathroom. Basicly you can be whoever you want, but you must start out in one setting, be only one character, and in your setting announce if you’ll be going to a different setting. (you can’t have magical teleporting powers and pop up everywhere.) When we played, there was this girl in the admitence room who’s date had stood her up, a cat fight going on in the bathroom, this whole twist with who was actually prom queen (I was in this) on the dance floor, and band geek love backstage. So. Much. Fun.
omg Zyka, not only am I studying american history this year, but I’m in school house rock! (don’t laugh) One of the songs is all about the constitution, so I know a crazy amount about it. Too bad I’m a bit late, huh?
Pentatonikk, my love life hasn’t existed since preschool, lol. My friend’s love life, however, is getting interesting. Basicly she’s had a crush on this guy for forever, and he’s finally starting to show an interest in her, and last night she had a dream where he did something mean, then was picking weeds, and then gave her the weeds as an apology. So we are now calling him the weed man. Huzzah!
So…my halloween party is tomorrow! I’m not going to be here for halloween because of an awesome vacation to Japan, and thus the party. I hope it’s fun. We’re doing a scavanger hunt around the neighborhood (won’t the neighbors be confused when we knock on their doors in our costumes) and then eating, and then watching hocus pocus, monster house, and monty python and the holy grail. Oh, and in the halloween theme, we’re reading edgar allen poe stuff in class. First off, HE MARRIED HIS 13-YEAR-OLD COUSIN! Second of all, I like most of his stuff, but that man was very disturbed. The House of Ushers movie is aboslutley halarious. I have to write a gothic story and want to set it in the catacombs under paris (thanks muse!). Any ideas?
What is everyone being for halloween? I’m a pirate.
I had today off. I didn’t want to get together with any of my friends, and I didn’t want to stay home, so I went to work with Mum and spent the day wandering around the university. There was a farmer’s market and a reggae band. I bought a Dire Straights album and two books. Poetry 180 and a book on Henry Matisse, who is one of my fav. artists. I wanted to get a book on MC Escher but I ran out of money.
Now I’m working on a collage. It’s black and white, because all I’m using is newspaper. It’s based of a photo of this woman in a white cleopatra dress doing a fancy pose. It’s lots of fun. I’m using this new matte medium stuff. Works much better than glue.
Ebeth- w00t sounds fun! What is the Pretty Fly dance?
143: you don’t. MSN is infinetely superior.
Has anyone ever seen Monty Python and the Holy grail? It is like, the king of funny movies. my favorite part is the part with Sir Robin and his minstrels. I also like The Book of The Film, and “the aptly named Sir-not-appearing-in-this-film”. Okay, probably no one is going to read this because i am really boring, but whatsoever.
So much one does miss when one decides to be a bit lazy and not post for a few weeks. I’m going to go and read the recent threads before someone tries to pie me for uninformed, overly extensive commenting.
and now for something completely different, as they say…..
Okay, who has ever gone on Club Penguin? Totally cool website. Not as cool as here of course, but you get to play games. I think all of you musers would like it. i have not been on here in forever, so i am talking like mad. How many comments do you have to have on a thread before it fills up? Hopei am contributing to the total. Sorry for any spelling mistakes. i am a terrible typer.
My school is right next to a strip club. lol. It’s pretty funny.
151: I am jealous.
131-Fencing is great.
139-I could tell all about my radical stalker Omar, but I’m too busy hiding from him.
143-No te preocupes. You’ll do fine. Muser, remember? Just channel our enormously large IQs and you’ll ace the thing. No, really. Don’t worry about it. You’re really smart and you could do it with your eyes shut.
146-That sounds like fun. Which Straits album did you buy? “Making Movies” has ‘Romeo and Juliet’ on it! Actually, their debut is my favorite, seconded by MM and thirded by ‘Brothers in Arms,’ because ‘Money for Nothing’ is just so catchy.
151-Haha! Mine’s next to four churches: Lutheran, Catholic, Protestant, and Mormon.
Okay. It’s 8:48 AM my time (it’ll take me a few min to write this), I just woke up, Nassime and Jerome have major hangovers, and I don’t because I spent last night watching Sunset Boulevard because Gloria Swanson is amazing and so are the 20 seconds Buster Keaton has in it. Did I mention Gloria Swanson is awesome as the soul of madness, even though her old age was actually v. sane and v. cool? And that William Holden is also a very good actor. My father is at work, my mother is at a rummage sale with my sister, and J&N are both asleep and leaving today. In about three hours-they have a cab to the airport; I would have driven them but I can’t. I’m kinda sad-who am I going to sing Joe Dassin tunes with? Who’s going to pronounce my name right and try to fix my godawful Quebecois accent?!?
No one.
148- Whoo, Katrina, are you in luck! We’re pretty much Monty Python’s ultimate elite-type fan club fanatic-ky-sort people. We pie you if you do too much quoting from there, however. Speaking of pies, you need a welcome one! *pies Katrina with key lime pie that has been dyed pink* Sorry. It’s a MuseBlog tradition.
My family just got a new kitty! Her name is Izzy, she’s eight weeks old, and is an adorable dark gray-and-white tabby who likes popcorn and is afraid of heights. We all like her, but Cleo, my fat, six-year-old orange tabby is hissing at her a lot. Hopefully, she’ll adjust.
*skips off to have big, happy reunions with MBer’s*
There is, in fact, a Monty Python thread ‘way down in the depths of the blog.
143-no i wish i was related to harry potter that would be sooo cool but im not so that stinks
since youve read the first fruits basket you might wanna know that they have movies of the books but they are expensive
and all the books are out in japan so ive heard some things about the characters
145-have you heard of whoose line is it anyway
our drama teacher steals the improv games from that but they are sooooooo fun
Lots of Canadians. Ooh.. shiny. Speaking of Canada, has anyone read The Trolls? I don’t know who it’s by, but it’s about Canada and is hilarious.
155- Yes, we know, but pull it back up!!!!!!!! Pweeeez?????
154-Gwen! How ya doin’, kid?
Before I go eat, I’m going to suggest Warren Zevon to whoever was compiling the list of creepy Halloween songs. In particular ‘Excitable Boy’, but it does have thematic elements.
157- why are canadiens shiny i dont get it oh well
for queen j and zyka
i dont no why but when i check the newest entries in museblog it makes me laugh because your names take up the WHOLE THING
no offense if it upset u but just sayin
i like the names though they make me laugh
138 — at the end of the 2nd one i was like WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
in my head. i cant believe they . . . did what they did. dont wanna say it b/c it will be the spoiler to end all spoilers if i do.
errgh, i was gonna say something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yea, for halloween this year im being Willa Turner and my friend is Jackie Sparrow. it will be hilariousnessisity.
157-I’m Quebecois. And not shiny. Deal with it.
160-Thanks. I like the enigma, anyway.
162-Slash fanfiction! Fun!
I could be Romeo, but I’ve been that for years…
we don’t have halloween here… BUT ME EVIL ANYWAY!!!!
157- My language arts teacher is Canadian, and he was yakking about Canadian Thanksgiving just a little while back. We all make fun of him because he has an accent. I must say, however, he’s improved since coming into our midst. On the subject of Canada, my friends all refer to it as Canadia, due to a mispronunciation by Kathryn about a year back. I still don’t understand why they have higher taxes. But I like their flag. And their bacon. Yum.
158- Excellent, Your Grace. Good to know that I was a bit missed. Makes me feel all special and fluffy.
160- It is actually sort of funny.
Okay, two brilliant web things to check out:
The Fifth Avocado
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.
Google them. The second one features Chuck Norris and Monty Python and the Holy Grail’s Black Knight. If you’ve all ready watched, then you get five bunny points apiece and some choklit.
137- Ooooh, where? I want to!! But I have a hockey game and a practice…*sigh* Not fair. I live outside of Chicago. *checks calender* Aww, darn. it’s an away game at 1:55. That prety much rules out that posibility…
166- They’ll be monthly once we get ourselves together. And if we get one on a weekday during Winter Break or suchlike, we can visit the Muse offices!!! Huzzah!!
165- I’ll check ’em out.
137-When? Where? TELL!!!!
164 — forgive my ignorance, but where’s “here”?
canadia! ha! i laff!
i am currently waiting for my friend to email me back. i cant call her because i dont know her phone # and her cell is turned off. it is making me craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazyyyyyyyyyyyyy
168- Tomorrow (Sunday) 2 o’clock, at the Café Express in South Evanston. I think the street’s Hinman and something…
i have this random urge to make a lot of rollyeyes. and lols.

blur your eyes and look at it and it starts flashing.
164) ……………….Woww……..
I have never seen you act so muselike since….. Since……. EVER!!
I think we are rubbing off on you.
I a have finally had time to start posting today!!!!!!!!!!!
It is realllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy mch colder than usual here, and its now 49℉ No will go out side so the sage thinks that people here are wimps. ( no offense to anyone who lives in Oklahoma). this sounds like a rant I”ve done before. oh well
i think myt muse rev iew got deleted.
175: Never. I must retain my individuality. But it is a fact that I’m evil anyways, halloween or not. Now go listen to some Darkthrone, and you’ll understand just how evil I am. Or some NSYNC, that’s also very evil. But in a wrong, wrong, wrong way. *shiver*
137- Wish I could come. Alas, I live sevral hundred miles away and have Internet-paranoid parents.
Aww… Izzy’s entirely exhausted. As I type this, she has completely zonked out on my lap. *goes all big-and-teary-eyed at the unbearable cuteness of it all* Oh. Wait. Kristina’s come to take her away. She doesn’t wanna leave! OUCH! THAT’S MY LEG! Okay. Back to normal.
Okay, so according to TIME, Barack Obama is probably going to be a major contender for the ’08 elections. My take: better him than Hillary Clinton. And sorry if this offends anyone, but I personally dislike her with a passion. The only reason she stayed with Bill is so she could have a better political career. She claims to be a feminist, but she’s really a hypocrite. Any true feminist would have kicked an unfaithful husband to the curb then and there.
179- your parents cannot be more internet paranoid than mine. They almost banned me from this site!!!!!!!!! Thy insist on checking every site out before I can go on. GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRR
GAPAs, may I suggest a “Snow” thread for those who either don’t have snow or love snow? There’s a lot that you can discuss about snow.
I think there should be a youtube thread. I’ve only ever heard favourable reports on youtube, and it would be fun exchanging vidoes.
147- what is up with Europeans and MSN? No American I know has an MSN account, besides I think my dad, but my Finnish friend does as well as you…
I just got back from RPI! It was very cool. The dude who invented the Ferris wheel went there And I got a free t-shirt. And spoke to the guy from the chem department for quite a while. It was really useful, because if I take the right AP courses, I can opt out of the first year! And the tour was fun. My parental unit started talking to this lady so I just sopke with her son. And they actually had a veg option on the free lunch menu. Which was quite nice.
And I introduced myself as Indigo Montoya. I’m in such a happy mood right now.
145- Creepy, wasn’t he [Poe]? I thought she was 12, though…..and they lied about her age on the marriage certificate.
148- We’re pretty much all MP-obsessed here.
153- Love Buster Keaton!
156- Love Who’s Line!
164- So you can’t beg in costume? How sad
165- Dude, I call it Canadia, too. How hoopy! It just sounds cooler that way…
178- Never. Mention. N*Sync. Again. I had a geometry teacher obsessed with them. It was traumatizing [sp?] to say the least.
179- Hillary Clinton is just plain creepy.
182- If you want to exchange videos, get a Nationstates country and join the Land of the Muse, or get a NaNo. The GAPAs strongly dislike links. OR any sort of personal contact info. Read the rules….
FS, the GAPAs just keeled over, I’m afraid…
Speaking of internet paranoia (179, 180) —
For those of you planning to get together at the cafe in Evanston, I urge you to bring a parent along for safety’s sake. Please!
179- Hillary Clinton isn’t that bad, and you shouldn’t judge whether a person would be a good political leader or not by their past social life, especially when our president and a few other political leaders I know of have gotten a DWI and done worse. Kuhl, for example, but most people that don’t live in New York wouldn’t know who that is, for those that do, I hope you also know of Eric Massa (running against Kuhl) because he is a really great opponent. Otherwise, I agree about Obamma, I really like him and the way he does things.
FS- I was wondering, what’s the officilal language of Switzerland?
140. They have an “uncategorized” category to point out an interesting paradox: anything that is in the “uncategorized” category is miscategorized because “uncategorized” is a category.
179. My major issue with Hilary Clinton is that she wouldn’t win the election because of what you said and more. I try not to let how politicians are personally effect my opinions of them because their personalities don’t affect me- only their policies.
Obama would make a great president. I met him, as my friend’s dad is the Senator of IL. w00t.
145- “Emphasize the hate and not the corned beef”? Wow, I should do that.
185- O RLY? I don’t think so.. How would your comment get posted?
I hope Hilary Clinton runs. I don’t think she’d win, but It’d (yes, I know It’d is not grammatically correct) definitely be a foot in the door for a future female president.
186- Of korse!!! Definetly.
Your friends dad is the Senator of my state?wait- *looks up name of senator* That would be Richard Durban? Cool. Obama does seem like he would be good; lots of people think he should run. He keep’s saying he won’t though, that he has no plans for running in 08.
170-I’ll see if I can-I should be able to persuade my parents and I’ll wear a Muse t-shirt and carry something recognizable. I may be going up to random teenagers and saying, “Hey, are you Pentattonik or Kiki?” and they’ll say “Security!” No, really. I’ll bring a parent along, yes. And it’s a public place, not some back alley.
184-Yes, Buster Keaton is the man. I’m seeing Eric Idle’s ‘The Mikado’ tonight, actually. Ko-Ko and Yum-Yum forever!
Haha here’s another list of stuff. Might as well post it, this is the random thread.
Things You Don’t Want to Hear During Surgery

– You know, there’s big money in kidneys. Heck, the guy’s got two of them.
– Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!
– Could you stop that thing from beating; it’s throwing my concentration off.
– What do you mean he wasn’t in for a sex change…!
– Anyone see where I left that scalpel?
– This patient has already had some kids, am I correct?
– Nurse, did this patient sign the organ donor card?
– Don’t worry; I think it’s sharp enough.
– What do you mean “You want a divorce”!
– She’s gonna blow! Everyone take cover!!!
– FIRE! FIRE! Everyone get out of here!
And while I’m at it, I might as well stick this one in here too.

I think Hillary would make a great president. But that’s just me.
And I don’t think she’ll get elected.
187: I’ve been to Switzerland. They speak ALOT of languages there: French, Italian and German being the most prevalent. I wsa in the French-speaking part. (Geneva, Versoix , Gex and Neon. I stayed in Neon for a month)
189~ I don’t mean all of them. Probably just Robert. They have lots of replacements…for all we know, there could be thousands!
145 – I love acting, but I’m too scared even to say my name. I don’t know if it would be physically possible for me to do it. Maybe it would be easier if one of my best friends did it, but I don’t know.
178 – There’s no danger of that. She just means that you are actually saying something that anyone else might say.
Attention, Jadestone, Rebecca Lasley, Ruffled Grouse, and sundry other crewmembers of the Black-Footed Ferret whose names I have forgotten because they haven’t posted for a month.. Please go to the Ships’ Logs’ Thread, as the PMs have finally assigned us a voyage.

TELEGRAM FROM KIKI-
WE ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THE KOKONVENTION TODAY. WE ARE EXTREMELY SORRY AND WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HAVE IT NEXT WEEK.
TELEGRAM COMPLETE
IMPORTANT:
Okay, guys, I need an idea for a mole to make (sew; we have the pattern; I just need a theme). Should be able to be done by someone with little time and less skill. Examples people have done are: Kermit the Mole, SuperMole, Molby Dick, etc.
Last night I saw The Producers (the new movie, not the play *is sad*) but it was really funny!
Tonight I’m going to go to a Matisyahu concert live with my twin and my big sister!
But…I have a pressing issue which I need advice on.
My parents want me to skip ninth grade because the Canadan curriculum is two years behind the American one.
School is so easy, I want to skip…but I’m just starting to make some friends in this infernal country! Moving here was enough of an upheaval. I’m being pulled two ways, and I don’t know what I want.
215- will you see the current ninth grade if ouy skip? do you know any tenth graders? do you feel the course is insanely easy?
could you take finals NOW, and pass with flying colors? is the acedemic side worth the social upheaval?
there is good in skipping, thats how i met you, but there are lots of social problems that go with it.
call us ppl back in the states. we will talk to you, garanteed.
Switzerland has 4 official languages. French, German, Italian and Romantsch.
And Hilary Clinton would be an awesome president. People who judge presidents on their personality rather than their capacity to govern were the ones who, for example, voted Bush over Kerry.
208-I’m attending Cafe Express in Evanston at 14:00. I’m coming with my mother and sister (no freak, Robert), and I’m wearing a Urania t-shirt and brown pants. I’ll look for you guys, and we’ll take notes so we can write up the minutes when we get home. K?
214-A mole on skin? A MoleHill (into mountains)? Holy Moley (expression)? Roly Moley (“ya-ya roley, ya-ya poley, ya-ya-roly-poly”, old 60s piano bar song from 60s film Pillow Talk)? Toad in the Mole (toad in the hole, that thing with an egg in a circular hole in the middle of a piece of toast)? Mole on a Pole (as opposed to Mole on a Stick)? A MoleBooth
(tollbooth)? Molby Cheese (Colby cheese)?
215: Pros of skipping:
More challenging curriculum
Less time in jail-I mean, school
No repetition
Cons:
Stop seeing some friends so often
Chaos
Confusing
More work
If you feel like you’ll be unhappy in ninth grade, skip. By all means. If you feel you’ll be less happy in tenth, don’t skip. What is your twin doing? Have you talked to teachers? By the way, I love Matisyahu and am insanely jealous…
Juliette,
You know that Kiki can’t make it? See msg. 213.
You’ll all miss me terribly. No one to be serious.
Wow! You all got the answer! You would just climb the tree!
Hey, here’s another question! What would you do if one day a frog hopped up to you and said, “Kiss me! I’m a prince/princess!”
221: If you kiss the frog and it is in fact a princess, you win. If it isn’t, no harm done.
Or just sell a talking frog to someone.
221- what would you do with a prince/princess once you had gotten it?
192- he is still a little young to run, he should get more experience and then run
206-ask the person at the nerest house for a ladder, if they refuse,bribe them with the gum, if they still refuse, threaten them with your tweazers and scisors, if they refuse again hit them with the ruler. Keep hitting until you get the ladder, use he ladder to reach the apple.
214- Albert Molestien
221- I’d say, “what do I want with a prince? and What are you doing talking? and Yuck, a frog!”
I got a dog yesterday! I’ve wanted a dog for ever, and this was kind of a mistake, someone just dropped her off, but anyway, I’m excited! I named her Dicey, after the main character in the book The Homecoming, if you haven’t read it, you should, it’s good.
Queenie J, don’t go!! I’m not going to be there. Penty has to go to skool early. *is sad* Next weekend is a must.
Does anyone other than me have an Alivan’s wand?
Link which GAPAS really shouldn’t zap
221 — give it a very thorough bath first. also, do you lilke kiwis?
they’re sweet, exotic, and hairy! (kiwis, i mean) my friend’s friend made that up. he is brazilian and supposed to be kind of hot.
my dad made me tell him my email password. he also threatened to cancel the account if i changed the password. even if i told him the new one. he is so stupid sometimes.
221~ Freak out that the frog talks, and then maybe kiss it. What could it hurt? If it did turn out to be a prince, I would say “Go home. I don’t believe in monarchy. Scat!”
Kiwis waddle around, can’t fly, and steal people’s sandwiches.
218- phoenix doesn’t have a twin. but its stillan interesting question- what are your siblings doing?
222- hahaha.
thats a good answer. i would sell it to some cable show for a couple billion dollars.
229 — ??????????????????????????????????????????????
borederific.
oohhhhhhh, you mean the bird, not the fruit, dont you?
227- not all kiwis (the fruit) are hairy and brown and grown in the tropics. I’m not kidding, we have a type of kiwi called hardy kiwi that grows here (in New York) It’s sweet like the tropical kind, but they are a little bigger than a cherry and have green, unhairy skin that you can eat.
215- tell me what the concert is like!
whoa, i haven’t been on here in FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My SCHOOL twin and my SCHOOL sister. My school twin is Sagy, and my school sister is Sarah.
I will tell you what the concert is like when I go. It’s going to be so awesome…
I just finished my French homework, but I still need to study for my French quiz. And do my art sketch. But that’s it for my homework. Yaaaay!
Heya, book-addict!
I feel so iffy today.
curiosity is the most undervalued trait of genius in the classroom.
what does w00t mean?
I am terribly sorry I had to back out on the Kokonvention. Tho’ I love boarding school, it can be rather annoying at times. Next week, perhaps, or the week after since I’m pretty busy. We could make it a semi-regular event with not everyone showing every time. I apologize most sincerely for the inconvenience, and hope you will accept this virtual chocolate in penance.
214 (Lizzie)- You’re in chem, aren’t you? A mole with a mole (fuzzy critter with little dot thingy on cheek), guacaMole, Moles on a Plane, Mole on a Stick, Mole on a Museblog, NaNoWriMole, Punxatawney* Phil the Mole, etc. etc. etc.
*Or however you spell the gol-darn thing.
I am very randomly happy, and that majorly scares me for some reason………………………
238- i know1 i have lost count of the times teachers have told me that what i was asking about is not strictly relevent and would likely confuse people. or they answer dead wrong.
take my physics teacher last year. i asked her about the bonding of the noble gases and she gave me a curt doesn’t and can’t happen, since they have no electrons to share/give up/take. BUT i looked it up on the internet and you can bond the noble gases, you need to run a strong current throught o brake up the bond of the electron with the nucleaus, and then it can bond.
Okay. So. I went. To two Cafe Expressos-one that changed its name to The Brothers K Coffeehouse (Main and Hineman). No one was there. Then I went to a Dempster St. place by the name of Espresso, with a cute band playing. No one was there.
I went couch-shopping with my parents. Then I went home, only to see that people copped out, leaving me in the dust!
Conclusion: 1st Kokonvention was a no-show.
You cads!
I’m not that angry. Just-next time, let me organize it! I had no idea what and who I was looking for. We’ll carry magazines next time. If there is one…
238: I believe the answer is in the HG2MB page (not the thread)
nope. I lied. not in there.
215- S.K.I.P. I chose not to skip 4th grade, and it was a baaaad idea.
220- ?
221- GAH! A talking frog! *pokes*
225- Next weekend? *tries to come up with plan to get from PA to Chicago* [it won’t work…]
Meep. Must finish lab report.
242- What’d I say? See post 213 and post 239. We’re terribly sorry, Queenie.
245- My friend has a suspicion that you’re her cousin.
HOW many of you live in chicago, I feel so disconnected.
Hi my name is Keoto. I am from Saretobia, which is an island somewhere in the Atlantic ocean.I am a freind of Kiki’s and can change into a wolf and a babelfish.
247- Me, Penty, Queenie, and Jadestone. Maybe more.
Wow. You miss alot in 1 1/2 days. I still have to memorize my spanish report, study for a history test, finish an essay on Of Mice and Men for english, and finish about a million flashcards for science. But as usual, I’m procrastinating. I have to make up everything I missed when I went on a school field trip to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water and another one of his houses called(I think) Kentuck Knob in Pennsylvania. Very fun. Here’s what I learned about Frank Lloyd Wright
1 Frank Lloyd Wright was a genius
2 Frank Lloyd Wright was a jerk
3 Frank Lloyd Wright was short
4 Frank Lloyd Wright was extremely stubborn
The houses were really cool though. I was like the only freshmen on the trip, so my ceramics teacher(it was origianally an asian studies + art history trip, but they opened it up to ceramics because there weren’t enough people, plus my ceramics teacher teaches art history) kept bugging me to try to make friends with some juniors, who were actually pretty nice. They showed some alien movie on the way there, and of course I wake up from my nap because of boom sound caused by the aliens invading or whatever, and know I will have nightmares for a week. All in all, it was a good trip.
Ok, enough about me. Responses to posts:
I’m jealous. I have yet to confirm the existance of anyone but me who reads muse within ten miles from here. Even if the first meeting doesn’t work out, you can plan another one. We should seriously plan a giant convention sometime, maybe we could get the mall(the giant courtyard used for gatherings in washington) Then my parents might let me go.
I like Zyviva’s approach to the apple problem, ask the frog what country it’s supposed to rule over, and If it’s a rich one, make it promise it will cut me a piece of the action, otherwise sell it. Love the holey mole idea Queenie. You could give it a halo or something. Whyd’ya have to make a mole? Sounds like a cool project. TTFN
welcome keoto!
*pies keoto*
242 (Queenie)- I feel terrible now. We need more definite dates, not something cobbled together at the last minute, and we need to figure out all the nasty little scheduling bugs. And I need to get my parents to talk to all yours. (Kiki- Phone still charging.)
249 (Kiki)- Phoebe and Zallie too.
Keoto made a Hogwarts blog on Proboards.
hogwarts blog omg where i must find it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to the internet
248- Hello! *welcome-pies with key lime*
I need a rant. I was reading a comedy/parody site, and found a link to a very similar comedy/parody site. I am appalled by it. The first few articles were amusing, but clicking links….it was just disgusting and offensive, and not even vaguely funny. There are some pictures people should just not post. Mainly those of large people in clothes not meant for persons their size….and it got worse. Bloody internet. Sorry, just got a bit mad there….
252- Jahwol, I fergot.
QUEENIE- Please get an account on NationStates. I can telegram you my phone number and we can get in touch.
Thanks Zyviva.
What is the Kokonvention?
Hello, I have come to say one thing:
GAPAs, PLEASE let me post just this one link! You have full power to check it out first, and if you don’t want me to put it on, then just see it yourselves, then erase the post. But put a post by me saying, “Moo”
Okay, this is a thing from Dove about real beauty. It was a really cool commercial thing.
www.campaignforrealbeauty.ca/bblank.asp?id=6895
247- I don’t live there either.
233~ wow.
217)Hilary Clinton? An “awesome” president? You have to be kidding me. I don’t base my views on her about her personality, either. It’s about her moral values, where she stands on today’s issues, and, yes, on her ability to govern.
She would be a TERRIBLE president.
And just so you know, I felt the same way about Kerry.
Go away.
(259) All right, Zyka — by special request, and because it looks Mostly Harmless. But not as a link.
*wanders* any of you guys seen Cormag around here?
All right, I’ve made the change. But please be advised that there’s no such thing as a dijinn. See
https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=377#comment-87
boo.
what’s up musebloggers? i’m bored…
ok, i really want to change my name…
ha. changed my name.
whoa… what happened to my other comment????
ok then… it’s gone.
I have been so ultimatly terrified of my speech class, I do not like to speak in front of people at all. So I really don’t why i signed up for it.
I finally found the special characters thing!!!!â˜âœ˜â˜‘☠****feels dumb for not seeing it sooner******
263- That says Mostly Hamless. Ham? We must be being brainwashed by pigs….
We (re)learned how to make pentagrams in Math today. They’re so purdy.
You can always tell when I’ve been moderating on my Treo. Darned sticky keys. I’ll go back and fix it.
Penty- PENTAGRAMS!! Penty pied the pentatonic pentagrams. That sounds nice. Say it five times fast.
221- If I didn’t kiss it on the spot, I’d put it in a box and keep him/her in my room. Than I would talk to it and figure out why he/shewanted to become a person, what his/her motives were, and so on. Eventally it would decide being a person was rather dull and teidious and would live out the rest of it’s froggy day’s in happieness in the lake in my backyard.
THE sage if you dont like speaking in speech youll have a problem…… unless you have some real mean people in your class(who knows ya might) i dont think they will think bad of you for bieng scared……if you mess up dont let it ruin your day its not right for people to make fun of you for trying so really what are you scared of get out there and speak that speechy lingo
okay speechy lingo not one of my best words deal with it
259- The one with the evolution? I didn’t click it yet because I’m lazy and may have seen it…
268- You can’t see your un-moderated comments when you change your name and then post. I’m guessing you’re book_addict?
I won’t be on much this week. Drivers’ Ed and midterms and all. And then the extra review HW….*sigh* And not at lunch because of fencing…..maybe tomorrow, though…..
I’ll try to get back on, on the weekend. Can I use two “on”s like that? I feel so behind…
Helllooooo Musers!
On the NaNo thread, somehow the ‘average age of a Museblogger’ came up, and I’ve decided that it would be pretty awesome to figure out what that number actually is.
SO: if all of you would please give me your age, I’ll do the math and post the results.
238-Acronym for ‘We Owned the Other Team’ but with 0s for Os…an expression of happiness or victory.
Eesabella-ah donde deu, ah donde deu mere la ruche! Sabe toi!
We spent LA discussing GossipGirls, A List, and the Clique.
My model boat went down well in SS.
278 — lurve the gossipgirls even though technically i am below the suggested age range (15 and up). ah well . . . i shall bide my time until this march.
we got to set things on fire in science class today!! pyros of the world uniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite! actually i am a pyrophobe but it was fun seeing a marshmallow burn. i just dont like matches because i am scared that they will burn me.
i am really furious right now because i have this one friend who is my complete opposite on every current event under the sun and SHE. IS. SO. STUBBORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:twisted::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
hi guys, I won’t be on at all until next Saturday, and I’m busy now, so see you then, bye, and pies to all!
make mine choklit!
277- I’m 13.
I need a new name…
230-They’re tasty, though.
277-Thirteen earth years, twenty-seven Haskamirian ones.
279-GossipGirls are dung of Satan. Perhaps that it’s a little far, but I hate them. ChickLit and WomFi are awful. I love sci-fi and fantasy, but not YA, CL, WF, and VoMit.
283- I agree completly(though I probably would have phrased it differently myself) Not to offend you BMG, but these books are so shallow, no plot, and are not at all thought provoking or something you’d remember. They were written to appeal to the masses of girls who like reading garbage, and serve their purpose.
I just realized we’re already past 280 posts! Looks like we’re gonna make it to 4 this month.
So far, the average Museblog age is apprx. 13.1. How exciting.
277- i am 12 3/2 years old. No, that is not a typo. i did not mean to say 12 1/2 or 12 3/4. i meant to say 12 3/2. that is my age. please do not try to tell me that that is the same as 13 1/2 because it is not.
263) YAY!
I don’t care if it is a link or not. *happies*
277- 11. Yes, I’m young. I think the average age would be 13.
283,284 — theyre not supposed to make you think. theyre supposed to be for kicking back and relaxing after a week of being a slave to the machine (aka school). theyre “fluff reading” for when you just wanna empty your brain and pretend your a dumb chickie like the girls in the books.
you know what would rock my word? a debate thread where we can debate current issues like abortion or iraq or whatever. then i could actually argue with someone whose mind i stand a chance of changing.
I am 11.
Hi. I’m board and exited about this trip that we are going on. We have to pack and everything and I am not packed at all plus I am really busy tommarow and We leave the next morning.AAAAAAAAHH!
emmatheduck were you born on leap year??
or why are you 12 3/2
i’m 13. it doesn’t seem like we have many older musebloggers anymore. they all had better things to do in life…
279-!@$!@$^*$!@#%$!!!!!
#!@%$!@%$#@!!!!
I oculd tell you what is wrong with them, but seeing that you are an inteligent being, you should be able to figure that out by yourself.
283-agree, but what’s wrong w/ YA? (assuming you mean young adult section of library.) all-most good books are there. i find that the adult section is composed of piles and piles of boring books, making anything good impossible to find. in my expeirience.
291-AKA…. hot topics?
(153) I love Money For Nothing! I think it has one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. I bought Brothers in Arms.
Crazy toast, Queenie, you certainly have interesting relatives (assuming those were relatives you were talking about).
(149) Hi Gwen! It’s nice to see you back!
Welcome Katrina! *pies with cream pie*
As a matter of fact, most of us here are rather pretty Monty
Python fanatic, so you’ll fit right in.
I have an independant study project. I will be working on it ofr 3 1?2 months. What should I do it on?
I’m going on the same trip as Keoto. AAAH! I’m not going to be on here Thursday. That’s it. We’re going to an educational ranch thingy for two nights.
I’m 14, by the way.
246- ? Really? I doubt it…I only have 4 first cousins. I think. The older female lives in NY. And the other one is an infant…so….yeah. Weird.
I’m 13.5 years and a few days old… my half birthday just came up.
291: It’s called the Hot topics thread.
And I’m 15.
Snorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre………………………………………………………………..
I like cheese and Muse! Muse should do an issue on cheese.
Hello again! I really LOVE kiwis. That’s why I’m called kiwimuncher.
(222) I would do the same thing that you would do Frigid Symphony. If it really was a prince then I would shove it out the door. Once they aren’t a frog any more they aren’t any fun.
(297) Hey, The Skipper Nancy! You should do the independent study on Hycotheriums or however they’re spelled. I did a project on them in the 6th grade and they were really cool! Of course, if you want to sound smart, you could always study Endoplasmic Reticulums.
Okay everyone! Lets do a poll! Which is your favorite kind of chocolate?
Milk chocolate
Dark chocolate
White chocolate
You don’t like chocolate
Oh, oops! I was talking about the fruit kiwi. Not the bird.
I wonder what a kiwi bird tastes like.
305- NO!! NO!! NO!! NO!!! It’s not “chocolate”!!!!!! It’s choklit!!!!!!!!! That is the way-correcter spelling!! “Chocolate” is a misspelling!! CHOKLITCHOKLITCHOKLIT!!!
291- Check out the Hot Topics thread.
I think we should have a Museblog Time Capsule, like the one on Yahoo. We can “put stuff in” and open it on the next MB B-day. Great idea, or what?
I like milk chocolate. Monty Python rules! I showed it to My cousin and she didn’t get it.
277- I’m 14. Or am I? Mwahahaha…
308- Oooh, yeah. But there’d be a limit, like, two posts per person so it wouldn’t get filled up with random responces.
Jadestone, Rebecca Lasley, we still need your votes on the location of the Museican colony. Go to the Ships’ Logs thread to vote.
Hi!
I’m new. This is awesome!!!
I have been getting Muse for like, 6 years and I just discovered
MuseBlog…I have definitly been missing out on life.
I love randomness…..
305-I love all chocolate, but especially dark chocolate : )
295-I’m 17. Believe me, the reason u don’t have many Muse Bloggers over 14/15 (it seems) is because we have way too much homework, like 8 page history papers that I need to be writing right now but I really don’t want to…..
Or did u mean, like, adults?
How many posts does it take before a random thread gets a sequel?
i like dark chocolate.
i have mucho tests to study for — bio and history. also math and writing homework to do.
312 — 8 PAGES????????????????????????????? gaaaaaaahhhh
but whatever happens i shall not desert museblog. unless i stop getting muse which probably wont happen because i lurve muse to death.
#145: *Laughs* I’m going to a Thespian Festival in December (It’s an overnight trip)…I have a feeling my friends and I are going to be doing a lot of crazy stuff like that (Or at least stuff that would be humiliating for a normal person!)!
#151: O_O Eek! Don’t you go to one of those cool fine arts skools, though?
My skool is in a suburb…No where interesting.
#237: Shweet! Have fun!
#259: I love that campaign. It’s so nice to finally see normal (Read: NOT models) ppl in beauty product commercials.
#277: I’m seventeen. That’ll def boost up the avg age here…I’ll bet I’m the oldest one here. *Reads rest of thread*
#312: Oh! OMG you might actually be older than I am (Oh well, I moste likely hold the record here for subsribing to Muse – > Seven yrs!)! Ha! Okay, sry about that random outburst. Yes, I agree that ppl our age get waaay to much HW, esp in AP classes.
Oh, and BTW, velcome! *Pies*
I’ve concluded that I shall probably nvr use AIM, or at least not on this comp – Last Friday, I tried to access it for about three hrs (Not like I had anything better to do… : / ). Something in my comp’s security was preventing me from accessing it. I tried to fix that, but it didn’t work…So then I did something quite stupid. I attempted to temporarily “turn off” the firewall/Trend-Micro. Well, I didn’t exactly turn them off – I deleted them! I didn’t know this until my parents told me the next morning (By the way, I had tried to access AIM after deleting the stuff, and I still couldn’t, so I’ve pretty much given up)…So then I was kinda afraid to use the comp for awhile.
But yesterday my LB managed to restore Trend-Micro, and all is well.
And…That was pretty much my weekend. Heh heh. Yeah.
HeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHechheeeessseeee…
312- i meant like your age. i wouldn’t say you’re the only one with too much homework. i definately have a TON! and homework wouldn’t be a “better thing to do in life”! it’s definately the worst. or one of the worst.
*pies I Need a Name with choklit pie* Hi! Welcome! Congratulations on finding the MB. Isn’t it a loverly feeling to be able to justify procrastination by talking online with a bunch of random loonietilks?
I likes dark choklit. And I’m 14. But why are we talking about ages?
(305) OK, kiwimuncher, you have me stumped. What is a hycotherium? We’re learning about endoplasmic reticulums in biology, but I’ve never heard of that. Thanks for replying though!
I like kiwis too. How do you eat your kiwis? Cut up, or with a spoon, or some other way?
For my independant study, I was thinking of studying 2 types of art. Then I could compare them, talk about their significance and such, and then do 2 pieces of art in that style as my presentation piece. I would really like to do Impressionism as one of them, but the problem is, I’ve never painted in oils.
Are there any art experts who have a favorite style they could suggest?
Hey, Musers,
Just a reminder: Curse words are unwelcome on MuseBlog, even if they’re spelled out mostly in asterisks. The GAPAs will most likely zap them if they crop up in your comments.
318- Someone is figuering out the average museblogger age
317- oh yes. homeowrk=evil
im 13!
DArk CHOCKLIT!
313-300.
so, where is it?
hint hint.
319) YAAAAAY!!! Zap them anyways, they really offend many people. (P.S.-I count as 258 people… mehehe…..)
OK, so I just thought up something funny about dragons. SO there’s this dragon. Just a random one. And it’s singing, “Firedrake is my friend, Saphira is my friend, Maia is my friend, but Nettlebrand is not my friend, and neither is Durza..” I know, it’s not funny, but my friends are obsessed with Dragon Rider and Eragon, so they thought it was funny.
I just went to a tasting for my dad’s new restaraunt.
dark choklit is good… so is every other kind of choklit.
