At school, again. Whoooo? Will be in this room for 2 hours straight. Was yelling at my friend for mixing up Star Trek and Star Wars. Hah, we’re nerds here.
And I don’t have much to talk about.
Still don’t.
Physics tonight. Ahh, boredom. The math is beyond easy.
Anyways.
Didn’t do my hw/lab for it, so that’s what will be going on after school tonight. So yeah…

I have algebra homework. Then Hebrew School, a.k.a. Torture with a capital T, then I shall play my awesome new guitar which I got yesterday! I know like six chords already. I want to learn a song in time for the talent show in May. Speaking of talent shows, today in P.E. we did the parachute just for fun. We did that mushroom thing where you lift it up and go under and sit on it? Well, we did that and we had a mini-talent show underneath. I sang a bit and Deja and Brianna did the splits and Matt, Theo (not my bro, the other Theo), and Michael did the Worm, and a Worm race. Then I did hopping around like a frog, and then Michael, Theo, and Matt put their shirts over their knees and hopped around and pretty soon everyone including yours truly was hopping around with their shirts over their knees. ‘Twas the funniest thing I’ve seen and/or done in a while.
You must know I live in Chicago by now, and you must know that the Bears are going to the Super Bowl. Well, my WHOLE DANG SCHOOL is obsessed with that. There are Bears cheers every morning on the intercom, Bears posters on the hall walls, and orange and blue crepe paper strung about the cafeteria! Smart people like me, who absolutely abhor football, are also forced to take part in these pointless festivities. There’s even going to be a Bears assembly and pep rally tomorrow in the auditorium! And we have to wear orange and blue, and we have to make these stupid little shirts with numbers and our last names on them. Of course, I’m doing forty-two, but I mean, COME ON!

Allegra (Kiki) – I know what you mean! The Steelers, from Pittsburgh, where I live, won the superbowl last year, and the city was so excited that we had a 2 HOUR DELAY the day after the super bowl. (I think it was because they didn’t think they would have any bus drivers who would show up for work, but…)

Hello everybody! I got my Muse back issues today: blackholes&tenrecs and perpetual motion machines.
ducklover, how big is cricket in New Zealand?
Cause I always found it funny that in Australia (where I go every few years), 2 of the really big sports are cricket and rugby, one of which is the most long, slow, dry games imaginable, the other of which is so intense and violent it brings to mind the words “gladitorial games”.
Ughhhh. I have to go play at pep band tonight. So boring.
I got a hot pink bunny t-shirt, a PWT PWNS magnet and a Muse Academy notebook for my birthday! Did I already say that?

Reporter/Becky- Colts and the Bears
Mr. W- Don’t Bears eat Colts?
Becky- That’s mean!
Mr. M- *blahblahblahwasn’tlisteningblahblahblah*… Colts are gonna win.
Mr. M and Mr. W- *big debate over the coaches*
Mr. M- *imitates oposing QB’s expression when you’re across from them*

(7) how could you not like music?! Eeeeeeeeeeeeek! You could write a musical about……hm……….3 kids trying to make it through a day of school. One of the kids is a cheerleader that is clueless about anything that goes on around her except, of coarse, her cheers. The other is a strange, random kid (kind of like me) who loves cheese, Muse, music, books, and random facts. The third kid is a new kid that knows nothing about the school and has no idea what they are getting into. Okay. Now you can write the plot.

OMG, I cannot wait!!!!!!!!! (I will be so tired Sat. 21st when I have to get up at 7:30 to get ready for work…..)I hope I can get off work early on the 20, otherwise I’ll be working ’til at least 6, which means I couldn’t get to a good bookstore ’til at least 7, later if I stopped for dinner, which I would probably have too, othewise I would be so hungry!

The books are awesome!!!!!!! The movies aren’t very good though, they changed ’em too much from the books. I like Potter merchandise! I’ve got two HP quilts, two HP towels, HP curtains, an HP cross-stitch book, 3 HP ornaments, and I’m cross-stitching HP designs on a scrub for work. And I’ve got lots of other HP stuff, too.
he probably will die, but I hope not, I will be really sad if he does.
You are a jerk, FS!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not like you, you have very bad taste in books if you think the HP books are not good. And you GAPA’s had better not zap this, or I will be really mad, and will pie all of you with nuclear pies, and will hate you.
Anyway, the reason I was posting this time, is my annoying 18 year old sister who’s at college found out yesterday from a friend when the release date is, and she didn’t even tell me!!!!!! And she knows what a big Potter fan I am. I am going to make her spring break this march miserable. *grr–pies annoying older sister*

You think the movies are incredibly bad. Maybe you’d like to watch the play in London Daniel Radcliffe is starring in better. He will be playing the part of a young man with a religious erotic obsession with horses in the play Equus, and will be performing naked on stage. My mother has only been going on about this 24/7 recently. Saying ‘Harry Potter’s having sex with a horse, don’t you just want to go to England and watch it? i bet Abigail would want to watch it(a girl I know who is madly in love with DR)” And I”m like get a life already mom.
(In the Anchorage Daily News (no, this does not mean I live in Anchorage GAPA, so I’m not telling you where I live, most people in Alaska read the ADN, it’s pretty much a statewide paper.), it reads:
Harry Potter–sans clothes
In images sure to disturb and/or severely titillate fantasy fans, D&D geeks and other fanatic fantasizers, the producers of a London production of “Equus” due to open Feb. 27, have unleashed some seriously sexy publicity shots of the play’s star, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) himself. But this Harry, shown shirtless and even sans spectacles, is no longer a boy.
Peter Shaffer’s play, which is about a man who becomes sexually obsessed with horses, demands that the actor sheds all his vestments and (simulate) equine sex.
Producer David Pugh tells People he was “gobsmacked” to see 17-year-old Radcliffe “have a six-pack like that at his age.”
“He (has) turned into this swan.”)
According to my mother, she looked the play up on the internet, and DR’s character gets off on blinding horses (and blinds six of them) and also rides around on horses naked, getting turned on. (not my mother’s words, I made them a bit more suitable for possibly younger muse bloggers) She also said the play was written 30 years ago and was extremely controversial. (Gosh, I can’t imagine why. (that was sarcastic.))

36: Oh, just cuz I don’t like the hippest child’s books series right now I don’t have good taste in literature! And the HP books are like Jerry Bruckheimer movies, or supermodels. Appeal to the masses, but not very good. Harry Potter is -quite frankly- baaad. It’s amusing, but it’s filled with corruption of Norse, Roman and Greek mythology. It’s not high quality, it’s low, it get’s boring after a very short while, it’s annoying in its immaturity and debasing of Magic. Compare HP to Lovecraft, Tolkien, Sturluson, Ken Follett, Vonnegut, Asimov, Philip K. Dick, Giovanni Verga, Shakespeare, Fenoglio, et cetera, et cetera ad nauseum, and you’ll get a pretty good idea of what HP is

That’s not an accurate description of what happens in Equus. It’s more like a mystery story, in which a psychiatrist tries to figure out what could have driven a boy to mutilate horses in such a horrible way. (Spoilers ahead.) He finds out that the boy didn’t blind them for fun. He went crazy after a girl taunted and humiliated him, and he blinded the horses because they were watching. It’s hard-hitting and disturbing, but not in a kinky, sensationalistic way. The play was made into a movie in 1977, with Richard Burton playing the psychiatrist.

I haven’t read any besides the first three HP books, and in my opinion, they’re kind of like pop music, or most TV, etc: it’s mostly gratituitous pleasure without any actual cultural/intellectual value, but hey, liking it is fine as long as you remain open to other things and don’t then refuse more substantial fare for being “boring” etc.
I do feel rather guilty about enjoying most of the (good) HP fanfiction I’ve read, though.. I mean, that stuff’s _addictive_..

Well, I’m rereading a book called Peter and the Starcatchers by… uhhhh… well, I don’t really remember the authors (yes, there’s two). Anyways, it’s like a sequel to Peter Pan. It tells how everything happened. I am recommending that book to whoever reads this post.

4- Yeah, we’re nerds! I yelled at a friend the other day for thinking Monty Python was one person and for only listening to us quote Flying Circus in social studies and not seeing it.
Harry Potter I thought was good when I first read the first book, but now it seems childish and poorly written, no offense Luna!!! The later books are JKR trying to make them behave like actual teens, which she gets wrong and makes them way too emotional. Note that I want to get Book 7 the day it comes out, though. I don’t want to trash HP, just state my opinion.
Random popular music comment/rant: Why is White and Nerdy so popular? It’s becoming mainstream. Weird Al. I never thought I’d see the day a “cool”, normal person actually liked one of the songs I did, but that one time I brought my iPod to school several people borrowed it to listen to that song.

Right now I’m reading Ptolemy’s Gate, part of the Battimaeus Trilogy. I love the footnotes. They’re funny. Esspecally the ones in the first book. Other than that, I just got a few new books from the library. And one by Al Gore on the environment, which might help me write that paper on Global Warming I should be working on. Now. *sigh* Meh.

So its my brithday. It was so sad. I went to a show and they had a cake for someone who had just gotten a new car.
Oh well. Celebrations will take over most of this weekend. Until 6pm Sunday, when I shall lurk in my room and hate football because my family will be ignoring me.
My birthday was once on SuperBowl Sunday. After we ate dinner, everyone rushed downstairs, drank beer and yelled like donkies. I was upstairs, flipping thorugh the books I had received but was not necessarily interested in, hating football. The one time a year I wan’t people to pay attention to me and it turns out a gorilla fight is more important than my birthday. I was so upset. It was a while ago, but I still am upsest about that.
Oh well.
I didn’t get any birthday hugs today. Damn them, my lovers.

Maybe I could steal my brother’s laptop for the party on here…my computer just hast to be in the same room as the tele. Yeah, put politely, I loathe football.
This blizzard has been going since early this morning. I hope it won’t keep my friends from coming over…hasn’t stop the ever-intrepid mailman. Its beautiful, but I’m bored and people need to come over.
Personally, I think the later Harry Potter books are better. The characters aren’t as two-dimensional. He has all of those adolesent insecurities to accompany the evil he’s supposed to be battling. Haha.
I’m also getting tired of his heroism. That’s why I like Ron: he’s more of a coward/loser and so more realistic. Harry can get pretty annoying sometimes.
I’d like to read a Harry Potter story/book where he’s not victorious. It’d be like a sigh of relief. Although the Harry Potter series tells a pretty sweet story, the classic good-evil squabble is starting to bore me.
0
0
Pardon, I meant: the classic good-evil squabble where good wins every time. Its just evil strikes again and again and good just knocks them down each time. Evil is not dumb. Evil could take this fate-handling, pubescent boy easily. SO WHY DON’T THEY?! Then they could see if good could fight back again. Its just growing too predictable, like the James Bond movies: you KNOW he’ll succeed in his task AND still manage to have clean shirts despite gunshots in his chest, blow millions of dollars on luxery and pick up women for a quick one. Its BOND.
I know its defeating the point, but a classic good-evil squabble in these books would be a lot more interesting without Harry. How strong is good REALLY, when their dominence is dependent on one person?

36 – I definitely agree with 91 on this matter. That was utterly, completely un-muser-like. We are all musers here! Everyone should get to express their views without being attacked and hated. I, personally, like the Harry Potter books, but there is a lot of other good literature in the world and Harry Potter does not appeal to everyone. And hating the GAPAs for something they may potentially do isn’t nice either.

I happen to have been a Harry Potter fan for nearly a decade, but I still respect people who dislike it (except Laura Mallory). Likewise, I respect people who like things I don’t. There’s no point in battling it out. Maybe we need a Harry Potter thread, so Harry Potter can be discussed by fans and ignored by people who don’t like it? Just a thought.
8 ~ Scary leet. @_@
10 ~ I play my dad’s guitar sometimes. It’s strung backwards, though, because he’s left handed.
Crazy football-mania. If that ever happens to me (it won’t, the New York teams suck, I think), I’ll wear a soccer jersey.
Glad to hear you’re wearing forty-two, though!
12 ~ Ohio State is the only football team I even sort of follow, since my dad’s from Ohio. I adore their marching band! I want to go to OSU just so I can play sousaphone in the band. I also like going to UMass hockey games (well, technically, I’ve been to one) because of the cheers and trash-talking.
I love iSketch!
19 ~ The commercials are great. :3
20 ~ My mom told me on Thursday. She’s the librarian at her school, and she always finds out this stuff (title, release date, etc.) and has it announced over the PA. My school is stupid and doesn’t do stuff like that.
37 ~ All I can say to that is Dx. I already knew about Equus and stuff but I hadn’t heard about the six-pack and everything.
57 ~ Wow, that won a Newberry? I loved that book.
69 ~ Have I mentioned how jealous I am that you got to take that test? I hate my school district. I’ll say more in the math geek thread.
82 ~ I hate that station.
65 ~ Sarah and I were pretty shocked when we found out that our friends had never heard of Monty Python! My dad bought a boxed set of all the Flying Circus episodes. It rocks.
86 ~ xD I like White and Nerdy. It’s like…my theme song.
We were going to see Dream Girls last week but my mom changed her mind at the last minute, unfortunately.
Whee. I’ve now learned that it’s not a good idea to not come online for a few days because it takes a long time to catch up…anyway, pizza time!

98. I only read a MIchael Crichton after seeing a movie preview that looked pretty good that was based on one of his books (am a little ashamed). Read book, it was fun, kinda cheap sci-fi but fun…read others of his too, but not tons.

I hath returned.
This week has been totally chaotic. I’ll try to sum it up.
This week…
~ J and I broke up. Guess our personalities were really starting to clash (He’s an extreme introvert, I’m extremely hyperactive these days…You get the picture). We’re still friends…I think. At least he’s been acting like it. Which is good.
~ I might have actually scored higher than a C on my last bio test.
~ I’m doing this Italian song called Sebben Crudele for voice lessons. It’s such a pretty song.
~ J moved to another town. I don’t know if he misses me, but I’m starting to miss him a bit. For some reason.
~ Tabby and I went to the mall on Friday, and she taught me how to play DDR. I’m horrible at it right now, but it’s really fun, so I plan to get better at it. We met these weird guys at the mall, and Tabby obviously likes one of them. Tch…Oh well, they’re not really weird in a bad way.
~Then Tabby came over to my house to spend the night. We figured out that her friend Corey (Yet another Corey – I know several) lives in my neighborhood, so he came over. We played Super Smash Bros and Bad Fur Day until 12:30. Good times.
~ …And then I had to be at work at 9:30 in the morning. Bleh. Got in 7.5 hours today, though.
~ The weird guys from the mall decided to come + visit me at work. Obviously, they think I’m as interested in them as Tabby is…Augh…
~ I watched Employee of the Month. It was hi-larious!

(108) Not necessarily. It’s a commonly held misconception that global warming=only warmer weather. But it can result in unusually cold temperatures, fiercer storms, that sort of thing.
(109) Same here regarding Harry Potter. (Though I prefer the phrase “Potterphile”) The crazy fans me me lulz.
Yesterday I went to the LA Country Museum of Art to see the Magritte exhibit. It was interesting, but I liked the Japanese zen scrolls more… surrealism is not my thing, I guess.

107 ~ Yeah, it seems that way, but let’s not get complacent…global warming doesn’t exactly work that way. Anyway, if some politician cites this winter as an example of why global warming is all a lie, I’ll strangle him/her. (Epicenes, please!) (Also, that’s not a serious threat.

There was a high today of about three degrees, and its still snowing like mad out there. Visibility sucks and a lot of people are getting stuck. They canceled chruch today. There is no way that school can still be in session tomorrow.
I wrote “stupid bowl” on the back of our car, hoping to get a lot of angry honks, but to no avail. Shoot.
I’ve noticed that as one gets older, they get more practical gifts. I’m frustrated with that right now. I got…five books for my birthday, one of which is a guide to London (I’m going there for spring break.) I also got a map of London. And a fat lot of guitar picks. And another bloody setimental card. However, I got a Motion City Soundtrack CD, an Electric Light Orchestra CD and a “Cheat to Win” Onion bracelet (from my friends and my brother). Life goes on.
My hair is currently orange. I dyed it with henna, it was supposed to be reddish-brown and turned out to be orange. I hope it’ll fade nicely in the coming days.

Home from school today. My utterly non-wussy school didn’t cancel or anything – wussy me did. -coughs up a lung- I know if I was at school everyone would be like “OMG you’re dying!

Sorry, guys. You’re right, I was a little overboard in my response to FrigidSymphony. (And I owe you and apology, too, FS, and you GAPAs.) Sorry.
Although, truly, I think HP is quite well written, it certainly captivates my interest and holds it better than LOTR and the Hobbit did. Better than Shakespeare, also. Ugh, i had to read Romeo and Juliet in the confuzzling Shakespearian language (I know, it’s english, but definitely not modern normal english….) a couple years ago for school, and it nearly put me to sleep.
Sorry again, guys (or girls).

#42, that’s just what the paper said, and what my mom said she found on the internet, ’cause she looked more up on it, or some psycho reason. You’re description makes it sound much more normal, and not nearly as psychotic and disturbing (Not that I’m particularly interested in it, or anything.)

132-It’s not so hard to be a teacher. You get paid, it’s not very demanding, it doesn’t require much further schooling except whatever grade you’re teaching, no one forces you to do it, and you have the same hours as your kids. And summers off.
140-I’m partial to Romeo and Juliet. I recommend the opera by Charles Gounod, Romeo et Juliette. You may like it better. No, seriously–you can tell what’s going on.
146-I know what the DAR is. Note that there are no DCR. Wait. There really was no Canadian revolution. Right, then.
Don’t ask me/’Cuz I don’t know!

121- how do you do that? (dye hair with henna, that is)

(146, 147) Ah, the mysterious DAR. For one thing, members who have died qualify for nice little plaques on their grave sites which can then be replaced every few years when the lawnmowers grind them up sufficiently. No disrespect meant, as my mother, both grandmothers, and who knows how many acres of deceased relatives have been quietly bedeviling groundskeepers for decades.
Years ago I did some family-history research in the DAR archives in DC, which was great fun. They have books, documents, and records of all sorts, dealing both with genealogy and the era. In the membership archives I could look up the microfilms of my relatives’ actual applications. By then prospective members could no longer simply copy a relative’s papers from too far back, since not all the older claims could hold up to the scrutiny of modern research standards. (In order to join you have to be able to prove an ancestor took part in the Revolution.)
Other than that, I don’t know too much about it, and maybe some of its rules have changed. My mother didn’t get the bug to join until the last years of her life, so I never heard many details. A certain number of moms probably sign up in case their daughters later develop an interest. Anyway, if ever called upon to infiltrate the organization for any reason (in the interests of world domination or some such), my mother has paved the way.
My mother’s mother also belonged to a lesser known group called Colonial Dames. The name always gave me the giggles when I was a kid. I could picture the big Broadway dance number — South Pacific relocated to 17th-century Jamestown.
By the way, Queenie J, the Colonial Dames do have a Canadian chapter.

Ebeth: There’s a mixture of henna leaves and other botanical things that you can buy at the People’s Food Co-op. I don’t know if there is one where you live, but they’re scattered all over the country. It comes it different colours, too, but adapts to your hair colour (that’s why my hair wasn’t straight red– it shaded my natural hair colour). You mix it in with boiling water, wait for it to cool and apply it to your hair via a paintbrush or squeeze-bottle. Then leave it for about an hour or so (depending) with a plastic bag over your head. The stuff looks like an unappetizing mixture of pesto and…crap. Very weird, but pretty awesome.

(148) Um, as the child of a teacher, I would have to say that teaching is possibly one of THE MOST demanding jobs. (Of course, I’m biased.) And you need to have a lot more schooling than what you’re teaching. You don’t necessarily have the same hours as the kids, depending on meetings and extra duties. Also, there’s always the matter of grading, and lesson plans, and etc etc. Plus kids are unpredictable (though apparently a joy to be around. Sometimes.) so you need to be on top of things; have control of the class, be able to handle situations etc.

149-You buy a bar of henna, melt it, put it on your hair, and leave it on. If you want darker color, leave it on longer. Putting plastic wrap on your head creates red undertones; leaving it off makes blue undertones.
Do you know what really annoys me? We’re learning about World War I in school right now, and Canada is totally ignored. The storm troops. The Princess Pats. The First Newfoundland Regiment. Etcetera.

Both my parents are teachers too! I agree Axa! It is an extremely DEMANDING job!! They don’t get paid alot and they have to deal with little/big brats all day long.
(160) What is henna?
Speaking of teachers, I feel really bad for one of mine! Every year since we’ve been in Middle School all of our A.I.G. English teachers have left for some reason or other. Everyone says that our grade is cursed. Well, our last one left after she had her baby (she did it extremely inconveniently but that’s another story) and we just got our new teacher yesterday. She is fresh from colledge. Need I say more? And here is an example of a kid in my class:
Math teacher: You guys are getting a new English teacher next week! She just came from colledge so……..
Kid: Oooooooooooooooooooooooh! Is she HOT?!
Well, the very first class with her and I knew it was going to be a disastor! Her first speech is: “Good morning boys and girls! My name is _________. I think that literature, especially writing, is a wonderful way of expressing your feelings deep down inside! We’re going to have a wonderful rest of the year!”
Ouch! She has no idea what she is getting herself into! I even heard afew guys in the hall talking about the best way to run her off! Isn’t that awful?!

NO SCHOOL!! For the SECOND DAY IN A ROW!!
I CAN GET HOMEWORK DONE!
And I will laugh my pants off if school is closed again tomorrow. Or at least KPS.
Cos if that happens, we’ll only have a one-day school week! We get Friday off for development.
And I won’t have my English class that I usually spend all of Tuesday panicking about.
I was supposed to have a test tomorrow, but I doubt that’s going to happen cos we haven’t had time to review cos SCHOOL’S OUT!!
So I’m not completely breaking up this flow: my dad’s family has set in their minds that they’re related to Pocohantas. I actually wouldn’t be surprised, cos there was a man in our family named Pohatan and it was a family name. My mum set out to prove them wrong and she did. My aunt (by marriage) is related to George Washingon…
OH!! My favourite!! Our family has a direct bloodline to Jan Hus, founder of the Hussites of Bohemia (or “Heretics” of Bohemia, as Joan of Arc called them when she threatened to invade). My great-grandfather’s last name is Huss and he immigrated from Germany. We think his family was forced out of Bohemia at some point. Tell me that’s not pretty cool.
Ummm..other connections to interesting people…my friend’s cousin is Tea Leoni…both of my great-grandfathers worked for Henry Ford (though that’s interesting in itself, its not a very cheery subject. My grandma has never spoken about it to anyone)…Uh…apart from that, not much.

140- Shakespeare is love. You get more from it if you see the plays being preformed, though. If you’re reading them, its just not the same feel as watching it be preformed by people who already know what the characters are like, how their emotions influence their actions. Shakespeare was playwrite (spelling?), thus his works (sonnets excepted) are meant to be acted out. They weren’t intended as something you sit down to read, like a novel.
But you can get even more out of it if you’re preforming it…
As an actor, you have to study the script, find out what everything means and work with it. You have to put your own emotion into it and put yourself out there as the character.
You can tell I had loads of fun at Shakespeare camp over the summer. “MAAAAAAAAAAAACBETH!!” (I was Hecate and the First Murderer. Go long flowly black cloakes!)
Forgot to say this before, but this is our fourth snowday this year. I’m a happy person.

sorry to double post but okay, i just found actual ice INSIDE my bedroom window. IT IS SO COLD! (my room the attic of the old garage, meaning there is NO HEAT!) and im staying in my room because i cant stand the rest of my family right now. four days with the same two people stranded in the middle of nowhere (i live 20 minutes from the nearest town and civilization). AHHHHHHHH so im wearing a sweatshirt, winter vest, gloves, everything, inside my room. i hope we have school tomorrow so i dont freeze to death here. maybe ill go skiing now. bye!

PurplishGlass – my room doesn’t have heat either! For the past few days I’ve been sleeping on a mattress in Anna (THF/P)’s room because it is too cold there. I have a space heater in there sometimes, but it doesn’t really work very well and it always blows circuits. So, mostly, when it’s so cold things freeze and frost, (basically, the entire winter), I sleep in Anna’s room.

Hello,everyone. does anyone remember me? its probably a stupid question, but i have to ask it. its been nearly a year since i started museblogging and its been months since i last posted. i feel really guilty about not posting or even lurking, so i decided to come back for some randomized informative discussion of the sort that is always prevalent around here. We also had 4 snowdays this year, 2 this week and 2 in january. i could really get to like this kind of winter. And is anyone here planning on becoming a lawyer?

Shakespeare is fun to act. I’ve never tried to read one of his plays though.

168–yeah i though about sleeping downstairs but ive gotten used to using tons of quilts. its really only during the day i mind the cold.
170–No, Twilight as in about vampires. Kinda strange, but in a good way. Im usually not into stuff like vampires at all, but all my friends love it and its new sequel, so im trying it. I’ve read the warriors one though i think (is it about cats?).
I love Shakespeare, though getting past the dialogue and understanding the plot is difficult, the stories are so cool. Not everyone dies though, in Twelfth Night and Midsummers Nights Dream no one dies (those are the only two ive been in though).

178-ha. ha. zelda. oh man. the inside jokes…they’re crushing me…most of them are too dubious to relate…but just go watch the old tv shows…ha.
i’m totally procrastinating now…woohoo…
I stopped by the nano chat a few days ago. Yes, people hang around there in the off-months. A lot of them. it was late at night too. I was impressed. XD
History notes should die. Just go die in a pit. A crocodile pit. On fire. Guarded by ninjas. Inside a solid metal building. Without a door. And with bulletproof shields. And the secret service. And an atomic bomb set to blow the whole thing up, just in case the notes might possibly happen to escape the pit. Yup. That sounds good. Think there’s any way they can get out of that? Mebbe i should add some scorpions.

146: Well this was the first snow day we had all year. Stupid superintendent from the UP…
156: Color Pulse is really neat (But you’re right, it doesn’t exactly look natural). Just don’t use Electric Black if you have red hair – You’ll end up w/ purple highlights! Yes, I learned that the hard way…It was pretty cool the first day, but then the novelty wore off. :s
169: Velcome back!
174: Do you, by chance, know how to insert “`these thingies“` when you’re typing?
178: We should definitely have one of those – And if any of you guys have any questions regarding O of C…I have the cheat book (Which I got after beating the game, I swear!)! Mwahaha!
179: You’re not in stats, are you? Stats is ZZZ^2.
So. I found out today that the guy I like is head-over-heels in love w/ this other girl. Oh well. Freaking lucky girl, she is. Ha. I like how absolutely all my lovelife drama has happened w/ in the course of this year. :S

181 ~ I have brown hair and I used Chilled Plum. It was really purple for about two days, really red for a week or so after that, and then vaguely red for another month. It was pretty cool but weird. I want to try another color soon (that was at the end of October…dyed it on Halloween morning, actually). I’m thinking maybe Funky Cherry or Copper Blast but I’m not sure.
I found out that my friend has a crush on the same boy as I do. I doubt he likes either of us, honestly. He seems to hang out with the popular girls more, although he’s fun when he’s around. He’s also a complete idiot. We were playing with our Sameer voodoo doll and he accidentally ripped my earring out. The newly-ish pierced one. Dx
184 ~ He’s a famous African-American poet.

187- Sameer voodoo doll? This is around when I should stop and ask myself, do I really want to know? He’s not that bad. And it actually seemed to me that he wasn’t as supremely good over us all in the countdown round. But the edge of desparation I usually have around then, with “will this ruin our score”, was kind of drowned, along with most worries and sadnesses, right after I won the award. And then I made a stupid mistake. Solving a problem for undefined instead of zero. That’s me.

Alas. My new teacher got worse. She came up to the front of the class yesterday and said…………………
Teacher: “Good Moring boys and girls! Today we are going to study nouns!
Me: Glares
Teacher: Now, I don’t know if you guys know what a noun is. A noun is a word that is either a person, place, or thing.
Me: Glares
Teacher looks around the room, no doubt wondering why everyone is glaring at her.
Me: Glares
Teacher: Well, I’m going to hand out this worksheet and we’ll go over it together.

I never understood why people were always so hard on lawyers. Maybe because my mother was a lawyer (now she’s an ALS) or because I’ve met plenty living where I live that they all seem perfectly pleasant to me. I just don’t see why everyone’s so hard on them. They’re just doing they’re job. And why are american lawyers worse than any other lawyers?

Today:
We read about the Vikings, then out of nowhere, with no proof from anywhere, my teacker tells us that he doesn’t think that the Vikings raped people because they were good people…
Yesterday:
He told us he was an adult so we automatically needed to respect him.
Earlier in the year, he told us all Spartans were homosexual because guys slept together in army baracks, and all Greeks were egotists for keeping slaves!!!!!!!!!

212 – The Vikings weren’t any worse than the rest of the psychopathic megalomaniacs floating around at the time. Well, not much worse. They did invent the blood eagle, but that’s better than crucifixion, which the Romans enjoyed a few centuries earlier. They were as brutal as most conquerors, really, but less efficient. They only half conquered Britain, so some of the history was written by the losers. That’s why the vikings got a particularly bad press.

I argued (sort of) with my english teacher today. We were doing a charachter analyzation thing on the Prince in Romeo and Juliet. Of course, she insisted that the prince was an arrogant, pompous jerk. First of all, we’ve only got one speech from him (We’re stiiiillllll on act 1) and nothing in what he says supports the charachter traits she picked out when looked at in context. When I pointed this out to her, she of course used a circular arguement that didn’t prove anything. Noting that I had cocked my head to the side and had given a sigh of exasperation, she found it necessary to point out to the class that I obviously did not agree with her. Such is my life.

-deep breaths- Penty has has a very bad day and needs a jug.
…so she read Naruto badfic to cheer herself up because she is lame.
Penty hasn’t argued with a teacher lately, because she either likes them or is scared of them. But she has had three extrmeely stupid arguments in the last week, which she will proceed to tell you about because she can.
1) In a terrorism seminar with a silly child who thought George Bush was a terrorist. Said silly child called her a Republican. OMGWTFBBQ. Anyone who has known Penty for any amount of time knows that she is not Republican. At all. Excuse her. Just because she doesn’t mindlessly bash Bush and slap any negative label onto him she can means she’s Republican? Apparently to be rational is now anti-anti-Administration. If this is the future of the Democratic Party, Penty will take her chances with being an independent.
2) With the stupidest person in the world (not the above). Could be described as anti-Freudian, but that actually makes him sound like he gets his ideas from his head. He has decided that men ‘create’ because they cannot have children, and that for some reason they want to. Here follows the conversation, paraphrased:
PENTY: D00d, women create plenty of stuff besides babies.
D00D: But in history, men have always created more because they feel inadequate or something blah blah blah.
PENTY: -_-; No, men have created more because of nasty sexist attitudes and because there is only so much you can do with seventeen children. Besides, men have children too. That is why I have two parents.
D00D: But it is the actual act of childbirth…
PENTY: -_-;;;;;;; You want to have babies.
D00D: Well, in a manner of speaking…
PENTY: -dies-
I kid you not. Please tell me that rational males have some respect for women and do not think like this. Please.
3) With her roommate, on whether she has ever had four bars of cell phone reception at school. (She hasn’t.)

228: They’ve been tgether for 4 years, and, well… I don’t really know what she’s feeling, but in the meantime we decided ‘friends for now’. Which is working because we didn’t really do anything yet, just openly admit that we like each other and expose the whole topic in order to find the best apporach. So I’ll just go on as before, with a heartache, that’s caught in my eye, and you know… I never cry…

229- Keeping in mind that I’m three years younger than you, have never had a boyfriend and don’t understand the meanings of such oft-used words as “hot”, my advice is to be truthful with the girl’s boyfriend. Not that I’d ever do anything like that in an analogous situation. I’d probably never be in an analogous situation, but if it were me I’d probably wait and analyze my feelings. Do you really like her? Is it worth it to ruin a relationship of four years? Do you think your relationship with her will last? I wouldn’t trust any of my own advice, but you might want many opinions. So here it is.

(222) BADFIC A++++++ You should read ItaSaku. It’s hilarious. Also, I missed Penty. Good job not being a computer junkie like me and actually committing to school! 8D
So now not bashing=being Republican. what. Someone obviously doesn’t know much about anything. But you get get SEMINARS. I envy you. You go to boarding school right? D: Yes plz, gimme some of that.
(227) I think it’s ultimately up to her on what to do, but if she truly likes you, and isn’t just in some weird relationship phase or something (not to say she is! D: I mean no offense, it just seems like that could happen.) then it will most likely work itself out. If she’s sixteen like you, four years means since they were twelve…? Although she may be older. Still, at a young age, four years is a very long time. And such.

222 & 233: Wow, this really has been a Frustrating Friday. I hope it gets better for you all this weekend!
My day was actually really weird…half of it was awesome, the other half sucked monkey butt.
Good half (morning)…
(Yesterday, Dingo, Tabby and I made plans to play hide-and-seek in the auditorium during second and third hour today)
We went to the auditorium at the beginning of second hour. I found Crystal (Tabby’s little sister) and her BF, and Tabby, Corey, and this random kid came later. Dingo was supposed to show up, but he didn’t.
We turned off all the lights except for the red ones for awhile…then we turned off those and turned on the blue lights. Corey found this bouquet of fake flowers, and put them in the front of his pants.
Tabby and Me: “Let’s de-flower him!” XD
We never had a chance to start playing hide-and seek – After being in there for no more than half an hour, the drama teacher (who also leads the Thespian club…Now she must really hate me. ) told us to get out. We went outside, b/c there was nothing else to do. Then everyone went to third hour except for Tabby, Crystal, and me.
We ended up finding Dingo…who was high. He’s such a pansy when he’s high…it’s so funny. Last time he was high, we were walking by one of the abstract murals in F building, and he was like “Oh my gosh, it’s moving [pointing at wall]!” We walked by it again today. Me: “Hey Dingo, I think I just saw that red spot over there move.” Dingo: “Huh…It’s slightly pink…Aw, that’s not funny…” XD. I am so mean.
Bad half (afternoon): Last week, Mia and I had made plans to drive to HL (the town we used to live in) today. But her car got sick, so the plans fell through. But she thought she’d have her mom’s van today, so we just decided that we’d go to the mall instead…Well, her mom needed their van today. So, we thought we could just walk downtown after skool, wait until Matt got out of work, and then all three of us would take the bus to the mall. But alas, those plans fell through as well. So I went home and slept for four and a half hours. What a boring Friday.

220-My English teacher made me recite Jabberwocky to the class, forever showing to the world my status as a nerdy geek, and then made me identify the nouns, adjectives, verbs, and so on. Zarquon. Actually, I didn’t mind the prince so much. But I’m sure you know that I’m the best character. Ever. *jk*
229-Just know that when you’re an internationally known rock star, she’ll be kicking herself and you won’t be.
Ech. I’m a little sad. My teacher was mean at piano practice, my SS teacher basically called me a whore, I got in trouble for something I didn’t even do (miserable!), and last night I had to listen to my sister fighting with my parents and throwing a tantrum over not being allowed to go to an afterparty. Recently my mother’s brother died, and she got home late last night and was upset over that, understandably, and then my sister undid all my hard work in distracting her over two hours by throwing a hissy fit. “You’re ruining my life!” And I have been eating too much over the last few days because I’m depressed and upset, so now I’m fat, which makes it worse. In addition to this, Valentine’s Day is coming up, and this is exponentially depressing due to the fact that, to make a long story short, my two friends at school will be spending it with their respective boyfriends, yay for them, I’ll be left eating lunch. Alone.
I also found out that as a captain, non-Boat Captains are expected to call me ‘Sir,’ which is odd because I’m a girl. I kind of like it, though. I’m not a transvestite, but it’s cool to have people call me ‘Captain, sir,’ because it just is. Again, it makes me seem like a neuter, and that’s kind of bad.

227-A lot of my friends come to me for advice, especially on relationships, and the thing I end up telling them most often is: be honest. Not just with her, but with yourself. Whatever you do, don’t let your emotions get in the way of your thinking. Ask yourself, how much do you really like this girl? If you guys were to go out, how long would the relationship last? How long can you and her talk on the phone, without it being anything about your half-relationship, or anything like that (that’s important, as it says how strong your friendship is, rather than just how much you like each other)? And keep your feet on the ground when you’re asking these questions. Remember to be honest. Also, I know this because I’ve done it before, not gonna lie: there are some girls who like the idea of a guy liking them, even if they have a boyfriend. It still matters to them what other guys think. Now, that’s either a sign of insecurity or of how much she really likes her bf, but either way, it might not be a good relationship idea. The reason I say this is because she said you guys would be “friends for now”…that usually means that she’s not ready to make a decision. Yes, I know you’re thinking “well, duh!”, but one of the reasons she’s not ready to make a decision is because she likes the idea that you like her, but is not sure if she wants it to be “that serious”…in other words, she might just be stringing you along. Now, I don’t know her, or anything like that (and I also, for the record, have only strung someone along once, and am not proud of it), so take this how you will. But, you asked for advice, and I gave it, and I wish you luck, whatever you choose to do.

Our competition was today. I had to get up at five thirty this morning. I’m still sleepy. But oh my god it was fun! Sarah and I had two events together, Rocks and Minerals and Heredity, and we were completely unprepared, but we think we did pretty well anyway. Then one girl couldn’t come, so I got her events at the last minute – Oceanography and Science Crime Busters. Luckily, I learned a bunch of the oceanography stuff in earth science, but for the crime one, my partner and I were completely clueless. Teresa and I were like, “Okay, let’s put some hydrochloric acid and iodine on this and see what happens…hm, that’s interesting. I think it’s table salt.” xD
And I got to wear my sexy Science Olympiad shirt:
“We’re not pyros
We’re scientists”
(For Math Counts, we decided our motto should be
“We’re not mathematicians
We’re pyros”)
Also, I borrowed my dad’s sweater. I’ve never been able to borrow my dad’s stuff because he’s so much taller than I am so I feel extremely special. xD

253- I am so jealous. I wish I could be in science olympiad. One more year… And I am lol over that motto. Both of them. I wish we got shirts for math team. I mean our own motto shirts, not the grneral state shirts (like the red one I was wearing) everyone gets.

@Axa- ZOMG ITASAKU LAWLZ. XDDDDDDD (Yes, I did read some. Yes, it was hilarious.) Boarding school FTW!
@FS’s relationship problems- I was actually in a similar situation at the beginning of the year, where I liked a guy with a girlfriend (a lot) and he liked me. What worked for me, at least, was sort of a ‘let’s just be friends’ attitude, but that sounds like it might not be the best option in your case. (By the way, this guy and I are still friends and it’s less awkward than you may think.) I agree with Shadowkat: be honest both with this girl and yourself about how you feel. Starting off as friends may work out better, because it means you’ll get to see her and talk to her more often and have a better chance of figuring something out, whatever that something may be. I do disagree with Shadowkat on one point: if she’s admitted she likes you, I don’t think she’s stringing you along. If she were, she’d probably dance around with the idea that possibly there’s some mutual attraction going on here, and/or use her boyfriend as a shield. From what you’ve told us, she’s doing neither.
I had an orchestra concert today and I wish I had a soundfile of it because we sounded AWESOME. Totally worth practicing.

My issue of Shojo Beat came and I was quite annoyed at their insistence on spelling Malice Mizer two “a”s. And saying L’Arc~en~Ciel was visual kei. BECAUSE THEY AREN’T AND NEVER WERE. D: Okay long hair is not equal to visual kei, get some brainz for that head of yours.

258- I live in my own little world too. All my friends are there, whether really in life or my imagination remembers and recreates them, and all the trees have square roots, and the flying meese and unicorns coexist with the bright blue buffaloe. All of winter is 2 hour delays and snow days at convenient times, and my time isn’t arranged so I spend the hottest week of the summer at non-air-conditioned camp without museblog. Frankly, thoughts and fantasies of emails from friends and of my new less-than-a-week MB obsession got me through camp. I don’t think it’s worth it to go back this year. Anyway, off my tangent. Also, I can stop time for the MB so I get enough sleep and stay caught up on threads. And I have all my friends’ emails, and they check them, and the guy I kind of guess I like feels the same way (or at least I can get “best friends” after a year when all Geoffrey’s little sister has to do is be small and cute and walk up to him for that *bitterness*), and we all stand around in the hyper saturated colorful world talking. At school, I am getting above an 80 in tech at least, and I have a fun italian class, and I’m not missing one day a week in February for field trips, and I know what’s going on, and I’m basically omnipotent but without all that responsibility, and school is challenging but not hard and it’s interesting, and people actually recognize the music I listen to, like TMBG and Tom Lehrer, at school, and I can take electronics to school without worrying that they’ll be stolen and thus not bringing them. My life is less-than-perfect, can you tell?

Well, I think we’re waiting for either her current relationship with this guy to end, or for the tension between us to reach a certain point. As for our compatibility, it’s great. We can talk for hours about anything from music (she’s one of the few metal girls) to literature (we both love Shakespeare).

*waves* Guess who’s stopped lurking and has finally decided to post? SM!
[aka, Capt. Obvious.]
Happy 42nd day of the year. So how’s life, all?
Mine is strange indeed.
Tomorrow starts the PSSA testing. In writing. Piece of cake. If you don’t score proficient or advanced, you don’t graduate. I’m not worried. About the PSSAs, anyway. About the fact that they’re during my AP chem class…..*SHC*
I went bowling with a friend of mine yesterday…that guy I’ve been hanging out with. He killed me. Then again, I was expecting that. You don’t want to see me bowl. Then we got food, went to Wal-Mart [where we made fun of the movie selection] and then the mall [where we went in Waldenbooks and put the “Bibles” sign into the fiction section]. Then the weirdness begins.
Okay, background:
We talk pretty much all the time online, but, like, almost never in person. Because we’re both very geeky and awkward. And we make jokes about how weird it would be if we were dating. We also have hung out one-on-one a few times. Which is always awkward and….awkward. He’s referring to such events as “go out and do something days/nights.” Mehhhhh.
So anyway, on the way home, he’s like “Semi-awkward question: would you mind if I tried for a hug when we get to your place?” To make a long story short, yeah, I hugged him. I’m not a very huggy person.
So then SM gets a really stupid idea. She already knows that she’ll be watching Labyrinth [BOWIE!] and was going to do so yesterday, because she’d be alone to do so and no one would have to put up with her Bowie-fangirl-ness. But she never got around to it. And was going to watch it yesterday, when, unfortunately, her entire family was home.
Back to the stupid idea part. She feels bad for this guy because its -53484 outside and is like “Uhh…do you want to come inside or something?” Unfortunately, he does. Then SM’s mom tells him to stay and watch the movie. So he does. And if you’ve ever seen it…
Bowie [♥ ♥ ♥] plus muppets, basically. Directed by Lucas, screenplay by Terry Jones. ‘Nuff said. SM has weird taste in movies.
And it was more awkward. Joy.
So the movie ended with me laughing hysterically and everyone else making the o_O face. And everyone starts talking. He stayed for another hour after the bloody thing ended.
My family is very weird. And likes telling embarrass-SM stories. Take it from that.
*SHC times 9843836861*
Well, now that I’ve managed to permanently weird him out…
Uhh. What else?
I made a pink duct tape wallet. NEON pink. Not sure if I’m really a neon pink person, but whatever. Actually, I made two, but the first was a prototype and it didn’t come out very well.
Hence.
I count it as one.
I got a 99 on my Eeengleesh writing assignment. Why? because I inadvertently wrote asses instead of assess. I thought it was funny. Actually, I didn’t know until the girl sitting behind me told me that that was what I had written. Then we laughed. Whoops. I can just see my teacher’s face when she was grading that….
And I visited my awesome Spanish teacher the other day this week! Yay fun! I miss that class.
SM also loooooooooooves art class. It’s so fun. Art, and the cool people in it. YAY. One of my table-friends is also a H2G2 fan. And a Bowie fan. So it kinda pwns. Hard. And SM loves art itself…so…
And she’s been going on an art spree lately. Still need to get out that scanner. Am painting a really cool design on a tote bag. Yay, fabric paints. I love mine to death.
I implore you, please don’t think to hard about the fact that SM is talking half in third and half in first person.
I also love David Bowie to death. xDxD

FS-Well, then, it sounds like you guys could have a good, long-lasting relationship, if you choose to make it so. It also sounds like you’re doing the right thing. Sometimes it is best to just give it some time, wait it out, and see what happens. It’s good that you have so much in common.

if we’re talking about relationships…
okay, so my very very best friend from kung-fu, Elizabeth, really likes this guy Alex, who also likes her but is too shy. and she made him a valentine for the 14th, and she’s going to ask him to their valentine’s day dance, but i thought it would be bad if she gave him a card and he didn’t give her one, because even though he likes her that’s not exactly the way guys think, you know? so i stole his phone number from her sister katie, and called him! gah! and i almost ruined it from the start because his mom picked up and asked “may i tell him who’s calling?” and i was like “um……. um……. tell him its elizabeth” so he was totally freaked out because i don’t know him or anything, i didn’t even tell him my name, just said “elizabeth’s friend from kung-fu who doesn’t go to your skool” and then i asked him if he liked her and he just said “well she’s my good friend” and all that but i kept pestering him and he finally said yes, so i told him to make her a valentine and ask her to the dance. and he was still totally freaked out and such. and then i finished by telling him “remember… we’re both black belts.” and then i called elizabeth becuase even though she didn’t know i’d called him before this i had to tell her what he said. and then she got all happy-giggly-squealy and i felt so nice, like you know, a modern day St. Valentine bringing people together… so anyway if things go well with them on monday then our other kung-fu friend Sydney will call him too and remind him to make her a valentine and such… this is so freaky!

269 ~ I fail at bowling too but it’s still really fun.
I did that asses/assess thing on my DARE essay in fifth grade. Luckily my dad caught it before I handed it in. xD But every week in English class we have a spelling list and we have to write a story/paragraph with the words, and the teacher grades them, but they go in the grade book as 100 anyway. I’m a fairly good writer (the first to admit I’m not awesome, though) but not once have I actually gotten 100! There’s always at least one little thing, like an extra comma, or I put the words in the wrong order, so my grades range from 95-100 for the most part.
272 ~ Nice!
Have you ever seen Clueless or Emma? (Two different movies based on Jane Austen’s Emma.)

270: meditation…. hmm. i got into that for a while. in kung-fu we do it at the end of every class.
basically you start with your feet together and your hands down in front of you, with your dominant hand on top -left for me- and your palms facing up. then, breathe in and bring your arms up at your sides so they kind of make a circle, then touch your fingertips over your head. you rise up onto your toes when you go up. then come back down the same way, til your hands are in front again. when you go down, bend your knees. repeat. breathe in through your nose on the way up, and out coming down. when you are sufficently calm, you finish by bringing your hands up through your center, breathing in, until they get up about to your chest. then you turn them palm-down and push them down, stepping apart into a feet-shoulder-width stance as you breathe out forcefully. this concentrates your energy into your center, then lets it out into the ground.
which is good.

269-oh man…labarynth. you do have odd tastes in movies. But that’s ok, so do i
homecoming dramaness, wewt. Sydney came back for it! that was kewl. MC Hewwit, peter the freshie, josh peters, bill, phil, hunter and i played go fish and crazy eights with the cards danny brought. josh peters had these sweet flashlight/laser pointer/magnet things. he’s selling them and i’m totally buying one. he said he was the random red dot at the assembly a few days ago. it’s great because you can be like “no, it’s a flashlight, look!” anyway, then we stood around and watched people inhale helium. josh started it, but he only did like 2. Peter the freshie went crazy with them. later he’s like “well, i think i’m finally off balloons. Namely because i can’t find any more.” i didn’t try it, but i did steal one of the little weight things. we unwrapped one but it was just concrete. the wrapping was really shiny though. I named it fred. I felt slightly bad for cheating on the wall (who was my lover for the first part of the dance) but then matt started stroking it and saying they were together now. So i screamed at the wall a bit (How could you do this to me?! I thought you loved me!) and then just danced with fred instead. You know you’re cool when you go into homecoming and come out with a bf who’s also a pet rock. monica is still determined to “girlify” me, and demanded a shorter skirt for next time. Tory was overdramatic, as usual, and apparently likes matt again. but mc likes lizzy anyway, and if he went out with tory again she’d just leave him for jacob again. Oh, dan’s friend lexii made a pic of jacob with hamsters for eyebrows. XD it was hilarious. I named them bob and fred (i like the name fred) so all night courtney and dan and i were like “hi bob! hi fred! hi jacob!” ck and dan and i went to chipotle before the dance, because chipotle is sweet like that. ’twas good.

oh yeah, and bill and i went up to chappelle and did the charlie the unicorn thing and he was extremely confused. and danny and i sang the hitler rap and josh contemplated bringing a DDR set and putting it right in the middle of the dance floor, which i thought was a spiffy idea, and bill was mad because they didn’t play the time warp, and everybody kept telling matt to dance so he did and then everybody kept telling him to stop. XD

well, there’s this kid named Justin. he goes to my church, youth group, and is in my ski lesson. he’s my age too. he’s really funny, we both have the same sense of humor and we like getting even with each other. (REVENGE!!!! lol) anyways, it was about the third ski lesson that i’d had and we were on the ski lift. so then our instructor, mike (who is a complete daredevil, I must say), says, “Justin, don’t you want to tell her (meaning me) what you told me last lesson?” he’s just like, “huh?” and then mike said, “you told me that you liked her!” and the whole time i’m just sitting there really quiet like. then, Justin said that he had a girlfriend already. and i’m just sitting there still all quiet like. then we got off the ski lift and continued on our way as if nothing had happened. we were still talking and such. but after that, whenever i saw him at youth group, he wouldn’t talk to me. and i got really sad because he was my friend *imagine that I said friend in the Tweety voice*… then, this weekend, we went to a youth retreat (AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). again, wouldn’t talk that much. but then, i started talking to him and he warmed up to me (you know that’s an expression. an EXPRESSION) and started talking. so then, we were sledding (yesterday) and then we were standing there. he turned around to look at the boys that were playing football and i picked up snow (we were in the mountains) and put it down his shirt/jacket. then we had a snow war (throwing chunks of snow at each other and such. fun fun fun. then we shoved snow down our pastor’s back. hehe… not the smartest idea we’ve ever had… he chased us… okay so he chased Justin. i hid behind my friend rachel. anyways, then we were laughing and talking for the rest of the time that he stayed outside. then he went in and i went down to the frozen (yes frozen! YAY!!!) lake with Rachel. then we went in to check on my friend Marisa who was sleeping (how she was still sleeping at 1pm in the afternoon, i don’t know). then rachel took a nap and i tried ice skating in ice hockey skates. not fun. the ice was really really bumpy. neh. anyways, then it was around 4pm and Marisa, Rachel, and I went outside again to go snow tubing down the hill. however, we had to demolish the humongous jumps because like 5 people had gotten hurt earlier. anyways, Justin and some other kid go down to demolish the jumps. they’re almost done but they’re arguing and stuff so I go down there with Brittany (who i think is Justin’s sister) to “help”. basically i stood there for a few moments until Justin (who had a shovel) used the shovel to dump snow on me. Then I kicked him really hard in the leg and then (revenge part… we both like revenge… hehe…) he was like, “you’re gonna get it now!” and i laughed because he’s kinda short so… but then i was standing and he tried to tackle me (didn’t work) so he grabbed my ankles and i fell down being the coordinated person that I am. then we started wrestling on the ground until i threatened to bite him. then he got off. so then the jumps were demolished and we were going down on the tubes which was really really fun. then my friend rachel went down and hurt herself (how, i don’t know) so i went down and we helped her up the hill. then i raced back to get her gloves lying on the ground and walked up with Justin who was carrying an inner tube and the other kid whose name i can’t remember. then the other kid is like “i’m going to go down a last time even if i only have to go halfway.” and Justin said, “so am I.” then I say “okay, don’t die!” (me being the supportive person I am). then the other kid goes down and Justin’s like “sucker!” and runs up the hill with me. we dumped the inner tubes in front of the cabin that they were normally in and left them for the other kid to get. (nice people that we are) and we then raced up to rachel and gave her the gloves. soooo (yes i know, i can hear you guys complaining… get over it) later rachel steals Justin’s hat (no wait, i think this was before the tubing… yes, actually it was. oh well.) and they get a wrestling match on the ground. it was really funny. i was laughing really hard because rachel was trying to dump snow down Justin’s shirt at the same time. anyways to cut things short, i saw him today in church and he kept looking at me. like the short sneaky glances. and here’s my stupid problem. i think i like him now. but he said he had a girlfriend! and i like him. i’m an idiot. IDIOT. someone slap me… i need a hug… i’m really really stupid…
okay, i’m gonna go now. byes! i have to eat dinner… be back later!

So yeah, I’ll probably enjoy Valentine’s day as a normal day and sulk inwardly a little.

i don’t have a social life, per se. just with geeks. my “relationship issues” consist of trying to convince everybody that andy and i don’t like each other (weckstein started that i think) In eighth grade, it was trying to convince everybody that alex and i didn’t like each other. what is it with me and people automatically wanting to pair me up?
anyway, my friends are dramatic enough for even the most inane of soap operas. i don’t feel the need to add by liking random guys because i’m bored. XD

Sooooo I’m 6000 days old on Feb.20? That makes life all happy and better.
Yesterday I went to Jim Thorpe with a friend. That place is far off but fun. We got Chinese food with place mats that had TYPOs. So we folded them up and took them. Because everyone wants a typo-ed Chinese zodiac place mats. Durrh. xD
PSSAs today. Suckage.
On the brighter side, I brought my math average up by a point and got highest honours. w00t. And my best grade? 98 in Gov’t. I only went to that class about once a week.
Am trying to convince my mother to let me do this cool thing called LARPing. I want to so bad. In costume. Aaaaah, it would pwn hard. But it’s over a weekend in this woodsy park by us and she thinks I’m going to be like eaten by a bear or something… Only about 20-30 show, but smaller groups are better. I’d have funnnnnnn.
Not sure what race to be. I said I would try being…well, basically, a snake/human, but their species pretty much contradicts my personality, so it would be rather difficult. Meh. Because I was between that and the bird/people [hmm, feathers vs scales…] and this person I was talking to who did it a few times suggested that, because there aren’t any at the moment. So I was like okay, I guess? I dunno if I can deal with only three fingers…….gloves………ack.
Anyways, math hw.
Okay, I’ll pass.
Mehhhh.
Yeah, can’t bring myself to do math, probably not a good idea. Wonder what I got on Friday’s test…
I’d better get out of the view of the window. Meh, class.
Mondyays at school are FUN. Not.

296 – Okay, I’m not in a situruation like that, but my freind is. There’s this guy she used to be freinds with and still is but he now likes her, and the entire school knows. She wants to stay “just freinds” with him, but that isn’t working out. At dances she never says no when he asks her to dance, and everbody thinks that they’re going out. She says that she doesn’t like him, but I’m not sure. As her BFF, we have talked about how to fix that. I said that I should give her a picture of this one guy I’ve met to hang up in her locker and pretends it’s her boyfreind. She doesn’t want to offend the guy who likes her, so I’m guessing that he’ll eventually try to ask her out (for like, the I-do’t-know-how-many-enth time) and he’s going to be heartbroken anyways. If she wasn’t originally freinds with this dude, things would be a whole lot simpler. And I didn’t want to get involved with this, but she’s my bestest buddy! So yeah, I feel bad. Oh well.
303 – Haha! I was sick today, so I didn’t have to go to school! Yay!
294 – Lucky. I’ll probably have some really annoying person give me somthing and ask me out and I’ll either say no and make them feel really bad or say yes and make them feel really bad later. Blah. Oh well, maybe somebody I actually like will do that this year, however unlikely it seems.
284 – Yeah. People either say I look seventeen because of my poise or ten because of my height. *pouts* But the first things kindof nice cuz older guys are asking me which highschool I go to, and I’m not in highschool yet.
295 – I consider pretty much everyone here on MB as a freind. I have friends from school, from extracirricular activities, and from the states I used to live in. Social life and nerdom life do not always mix, so I am having a hard time keeping up with all mi amigas and still being awesomely nerdy. Oh well, both of them are a ton of fun.

QueenieJ: Here is some vertual chocolate!
Axa: Maybe it fell asleep. Or of course you could have always stepped on a poisonous dart, whereas you’ll only have afew more minutes to live.
A Party? WOW! Though knowing me I probubly missed it.
Now, I must say something about some of the language I’ve been seeing. Remember, bad language is BAD!

I am at school. Inference test. Bleurgh. Well, at least I’m done. Someone has chicken pox in my grade. Dunno why the teachers “aren’t allowed to tell” us who has it. Rawther steupid in my opinion. What, if we know who has it we get it too? It’s like when we have lice tests, nobody’s allowed to know the results of other people’s tests. Paranoid education system. *sticks tongue out* Er… I’ve always wanted to have a REALLY REALLY long post, like SM or somthing. But I don’t have enough to say! I just finished The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray, by Chris Woodings, the same guy who wrote Storm Theif, which pwnz. I’ve also just discovered the wonderful talent of clear tape to turn any piece of paper into a dry-erase surface. Awesome, dude. Have play rehearsal today. EEEEEEEK. *goes over lines in head fanatically* Yeah. I don’t even know what we’re doing today…. RUN AWAY!!!!!! j/k. If I really ran away from a rehearsal, I would be kicked out of the play. I can’t even get sick, because I’d miss a rehearsal! I really really REALLY REALLYREALLY hope I don’t get chicken pox. Because that certainly would not be good.

307-You haven’t had it yet? Lucky. *jealous*
I have new LUSH stuff. Yessss. The Chicago shops are fed by the Toronto factory, so I was afraid it wouldn’t be that good, but it turns out it’s a fully-loaded store. With no STROKES hair mask. I’m upset…but I got more Herbalism and Cupcake, as well as Karma, Sexy Four and Cynthia Sylvia Stout-Jungle, so that’s allright.

In band we had a sub. We did a worksheet on Asian music. There was a pentatonic scale and I kept feeling like I was spelling it wrong. I spent the remainder of the time drawing HPB-ish shapes on my black band binder with white-out, then coloring them with my pink highlighter. Brian said they looked like bloated clothespins. Mark said they looked either like bunnies or like a fat peace sign with the two fingers held up. Robert said they looked like bunnies. I didn’t see anyone else I knew between band and Italian. There’s a reason I took earth science instead of art. I’m thinking of printing some.

Friday and monday for us. no idea why. oh and i think tomorow’s a late day but i’m not sure.
bill and i have decided to apply KoL/Charlie the Unicorn/random comic strip characters to all the teachers. For featherstone we couldn’t decide bugbear or liopleurodan (MAGICAL). I asked him, but he didn’t know what either of those were. then bill looked up the wiki articles and we decided on the magical liopluridan because they swim and he tried to swim across the amazon or something once. that was an interesting story. anyway. we sort of tenatively decided chappelle was a baby gravy fairy. that’s as far as we’ve gotten. we contemplated messerly, but don’t really have anything for her yet.

Up by me, a bunch of districts are having Mid-Winter Break, or something like that, when they just got back from Christmas Break about 3 weeks ago…I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but my schooled friends are all rejoicing, when they’re just going to have to make up for the lost days in June.

If I went to any other school anywhere other than Chicagoland, I would have a snow day. We have wind like heck and snow that is probably a foot deep in places and we have school. Where is the logic in this?
YAY!! First poste?? Oh well. It’s a magnificent thread title, anyway.
I remember that. I didn’t realize for a while that we could suggest titles. If I named this thread, Flamablamablous February would definitely be the name I would call it.
I dunno what to say…. Happy February, everyone!
Hahahaaa!!! Great name, peoples! I don’t know, I’m just hyper…happy February!
Happy Feb!
At school, again. Whoooo? Will be in this room for 2 hours straight. Was yelling at my friend for mixing up Star Trek and Star Wars. Hah, we’re nerds here.
And I don’t have much to talk about.
Still don’t.
Physics tonight. Ahh, boredom. The math is beyond easy.
Anyways.
Didn’t do my hw/lab for it, so that’s what will be going on after school tonight. So yeah…
I can so get it done.
</randomness>
w00t! Flamablamablous title!
Hello fellow Musers!!
5~ I think so too.
4~ RANDOMNESS IS AWSOME!!!
EAT CHEESE!!! GO BAGERS!!!
Bleh I am very something. Bored. Random. Who Knows?
I ahve to write a scipt for a musical. Really Don’t want to do that. Oh well.
I like writing scripts for plays, but I don’t do music. Bleh
Awesomal
Where’s the µ83|^ |=|^00?7 (uber froody) pic from?
Could you get someone else to write the songs? Between the songs, after all, a musical is just a play. Maybe Juliette could offer some advice.
I have algebra homework. Then Hebrew School, a.k.a. Torture with a capital T, then I shall play my awesome new guitar which I got yesterday! I know like six chords already. I want to learn a song in time for the talent show in May. Speaking of talent shows, today in P.E. we did the parachute just for fun. We did that mushroom thing where you lift it up and go under and sit on it? Well, we did that and we had a mini-talent show underneath. I sang a bit and Deja and Brianna did the splits and Matt, Theo (not my bro, the other Theo), and Michael did the Worm, and a Worm race. Then I did hopping around like a frog, and then Michael, Theo, and Matt put their shirts over their knees and hopped around and pretty soon everyone including yours truly was hopping around with their shirts over their knees. ‘Twas the funniest thing I’ve seen and/or done in a while.
You must know I live in Chicago by now, and you must know that the Bears are going to the Super Bowl. Well, my WHOLE DANG SCHOOL is obsessed with that. There are Bears cheers every morning on the intercom, Bears posters on the hall walls, and orange and blue crepe paper strung about the cafeteria! Smart people like me, who absolutely abhor football, are also forced to take part in these pointless festivities. There’s even going to be a Bears assembly and pep rally tomorrow in the auditorium! And we have to wear orange and blue, and we have to make these stupid little shirts with numbers and our last names on them. Of course, I’m doing forty-two, but I mean, COME ON!
Allegra (Kiki) – I know what you mean! The Steelers, from Pittsburgh, where I live, won the superbowl last year, and the city was so excited that we had a 2 HOUR DELAY the day after the super bowl. (I think it was because they didn’t think they would have any bus drivers who would show up for work, but…)
10-ha…ha…ha…try living in columbus. Sorry i’m laffing, but at least i’m not alone in the pain of crazed football fans.
isketch is life now. totally.
apparently band today really sucked. andy’s like “yeah, david’s probably mad at you because you weren’t there,” i was like “what? it’s my fault that the other trumpets couldn’t play? since when?” he said it was really painful. guess i’m lucky.
seriously though, it’s a really good thing peter’s coming back next year.
has anybody seen epic movie yet? is it good? i’ll probably go see it this weekend.
joined megan’s relay for life team. pretty much everybody is on it. XD we’re gonna have the biggest party tent around.
book club tomorrow. a lesson before dying.
lots of history notes to do. blech.
omg we still on summa vacation
is the superbowl rugby or soccor?
in new zealand the whole place is OBSESSED with rugby!! nearly every add on t.v shows rugby players or th All Blacks (national rugby team) and if you say you dont like rugby they say you cant be a new zealander
what is so great with kicking an egg shaped ball arond a field… most of the players get hurt anyway…
hahahaha i just said all that yet i still love going to the games with my friends and we wear gold and blue scarfs, hats, socks and beanies!!! oh well they serve good pies at the stadium!!!
phew that must be my longest post ever !!!
oh gold and blue is the colour of the umm regional? team – the otago highlanders…
the otago highlanders song
otaaaago high landers…thats our name
otaaaago high landers…thats our game
otaaaago high landers…welcome to the house of pain
that is seriously what it is (the house of pain being the nickname for our stadium i dont know if i can say the name on MB though, GAPAs can I?)and it is quite amazing to see a huge amount of people belt out that song at the beginning of each game :
mrgreen:
We have:
a Stupid Bowl Assembly
a Stupid Bowl drive
Stupid Bowl posters
Plus, all news channels, newspapers, and other sources of information are totally centered on the Stupid Bowl. How ’bout them Bears?
Nobody likes the colt?!! Come on, the colts are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Peyton Manning is going to kill!!
Hello everybody! I got my Muse back issues today: blackholes&tenrecs and perpetual motion machines.
ducklover, how big is cricket in New Zealand?
Cause I always found it funny that in Australia (where I go every few years), 2 of the really big sports are cricket and rugby, one of which is the most long, slow, dry games imaginable, the other of which is so intense and violent it brings to mind the words “gladitorial games”.
Ughhhh. I have to go play at pep band tonight. So boring.
I got a hot pink bunny t-shirt, a PWT PWNS magnet and a Muse Academy notebook for my birthday! Did I already say that?
(8) 1337 STRIKES AGAIN!!!11
(15) Stupid Bowl=Endless Laughter. I love you a lot. I have to go to my grandparent’s house and it’s a huge waste of my Sunday.
18- lol “stupid bowl”. Must use that tomorrow. Lol again. Yeah, football sucks BAD. What’s the point of an “exiting” game, where they stop the stupid playing every fifteen seconds? Geez, I only watch the Stupid/Super Bowl for the commercials (gotta luv Budweiser) and the half time show.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HARRY POTTER SEVEN RELEASE DATE!!!!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOOMGOMGOMGOMOGMOMOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!! JULY 21ST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
19 ingeneral, football is a dumb game, played by dumb people…BUT it is fun because my friends get so worked up about it (and can’t believe i don’t), and this is the first “stupid” bowl with african american coaches…
Seriously, football sucks. It is an idiotic game that stuck-up, smarty head weirdos play. :^
Do not even ask what that means!
But I still love Tom Brady!
19- I know, right? Everyone in PA is obsessed with the Colts!!! However, here’s a kinda funny conversation that was shown on the school news between two teachers and the “reporter” person.
Mr. W- so who are the teams, again?
Reporter/Becky- Colts and the Bears
Mr. W- Don’t Bears eat Colts?
Becky- That’s mean!
Mr. M- *blahblahblahwasn’tlisteningblahblahblah*… Colts are gonna win.
Mr. M and Mr. W- *big debate over the coaches*
Mr. M- *imitates oposing QB’s expression when you’re across from them*
quite amusing. Becky was just standing there.
The Steelers just hired an African-American coach.
I’m definitely not watching the “stupid” bowl. No way.
WHY IS LANGSTON HUGHES”S BIRTHDAY NOT ON THE CALENDAR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Yay! Just realized my half birthday, in 10 days, is on the 42 day of the year. Coincidence or omen? Coincidence.
19- The comericials are the whole point of the superbowl. And yes, the budweiser coms. are definitely some of the best. I loved the little donkey training to be a clydesdale. Hilarious.
The only thing that the superbowl does for me is… well, I mean to say that, umm… Bean dip and funny commercials. Period. End of story.
(7) how could you not like music?! Eeeeeeeeeeeeek! You could write a musical about……hm……….3 kids trying to make it through a day of school. One of the kids is a cheerleader that is clueless about anything that goes on around her except, of coarse, her cheers. The other is a strange, random kid (kind of like me) who loves cheese, Muse, music, books, and random facts. The third kid is a new kid that knows nothing about the school and has no idea what they are getting into. Okay. Now you can write the plot.
(13) How could you still on summer vacation? Its FEBUARY!!
I feel kind of let out of the conversation. I never watch andy football. Much less the Superbowl. It just doesn’t intrest me.
30- He’s a New Zealander. Tis summer there, hence Summer Break.
#20, it is????? Where’d you find that out???? GAPA, please let her post where she heard the release date, please, ’cause I know if it’s a websight, you don’t always let people, but please. Please, please, please, please, please, pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase. (hey, just be glad I didn’t use the other ‘p’ word, though I still don’t get why you all think it’s so bad….)
Never mind, I yahooed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows release date. Came up with a site that said the official release date h ad been announced on JK Rowling’s site, went there, saw that it was indeed true!!!!!
OMG, I cannot wait!!!!!!!!! (I will be so tired Sat. 21st when I have to get up at 7:30 to get ready for work…..)I hope I can get off work early on the 20, otherwise I’ll be working ’til at least 6, which means I couldn’t get to a good bookstore ’til at least 7, later if I stopped for dinner, which I would probably have too, othewise I would be so hungry! Sorry, I am just so excited! This is so awesome!!!!
Thank you Kiki the Great! This has just become a totaly flamablamablous day!!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bah, HP is overrated. I hope that prat dies in a horrible, long, drawn out painful death. To make up for the incredible badness of the movies and all merchandising. Screw JK Rowling, you bloody sold out!!!!!!
(33),
The date is in newspapers today.
*pies FrigidSymphony with a huge nuclear pie*
The books are awesome!!!!!!! The movies aren’t very good though, they changed ’em too much from the books. I like Potter merchandise! I’ve got two HP quilts, two HP towels, HP curtains, an HP cross-stitch book, 3 HP ornaments, and I’m cross-stitching HP designs on a scrub for work. And I’ve got lots of other HP stuff, too.
he probably will die, but I hope not, I will be really sad if he does.
You are a jerk, FS!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not like you, you have very bad taste in books if you think the HP books are not good. And you GAPA’s had better not zap this, or I will be really mad, and will pie all of you with nuclear pies, and will hate you.
Anyway, the reason I was posting this time, is my annoying 18 year old sister who’s at college found out yesterday from a friend when the release date is, and she didn’t even tell me!!!!!! And she knows what a big Potter fan I am. I am going to make her spring break this march miserable. *grr–pies annoying older sister*
You think the movies are incredibly bad. Maybe you’d like to watch the play in London Daniel Radcliffe is starring in better. He will be playing the part of a young man with a religious erotic obsession with horses in the play Equus, and will be performing naked on stage. My mother has only been going on about this 24/7 recently. Saying ‘Harry Potter’s having sex with a horse, don’t you just want to go to England and watch it? i bet Abigail would want to watch it(a girl I know who is madly in love with DR)” And I”m like get a life already mom.
(In the Anchorage Daily News (no, this does not mean I live in Anchorage GAPA, so I’m not telling you where I live, most people in Alaska read the ADN, it’s pretty much a statewide paper.), it reads:
Harry Potter–sans clothes
In images sure to disturb and/or severely titillate fantasy fans, D&D geeks and other fanatic fantasizers, the producers of a London production of “Equus” due to open Feb. 27, have unleashed some seriously sexy publicity shots of the play’s star, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) himself. But this Harry, shown shirtless and even sans spectacles, is no longer a boy.
Peter Shaffer’s play, which is about a man who becomes sexually obsessed with horses, demands that the actor sheds all his vestments and (simulate) equine sex.
Producer David Pugh tells People he was “gobsmacked” to see 17-year-old Radcliffe “have a six-pack like that at his age.”
“He (has) turned into this swan.”)
According to my mother, she looked the play up on the internet, and DR’s character gets off on blinding horses (and blinds six of them) and also rides around on horses naked, getting turned on. (not my mother’s words, I made them a bit more suitable for possibly younger muse bloggers) She also said the play was written 30 years ago and was extremely controversial. (Gosh, I can’t imagine why. (that was sarcastic.))
34 the books did get a bit repetative…and then they were totally commercialized by the movies…
it would be pretty hilarious if he died in the next one, so many people would be pissed
I cannot wait ’til July 21st. I’m so excited.
Anyways, I will go leave all you musebloggers alone, as you’re probably getting bored of my multiples posts, and go eat a slightly early lunch, and do some more school (it’s 11:30 here in AK)
I won’t be on again ’til Monday *sniff*
Somebody please answer my question on the Feb. Muse mag thread about whether my contest entry was one fo the winning ones. Please. (Answer it there, not here.) Thank you!!!!!!
36: Oh, just cuz I don’t like the hippest child’s books series right now I don’t have good taste in literature! And the HP books are like Jerry Bruckheimer movies, or supermodels. Appeal to the masses, but not very good. Harry Potter is -quite frankly- baaad. It’s amusing, but it’s filled with corruption of Norse, Roman and Greek mythology. It’s not high quality, it’s low, it get’s boring after a very short while, it’s annoying in its immaturity and debasing of Magic. Compare HP to Lovecraft, Tolkien, Sturluson, Ken Follett, Vonnegut, Asimov, Philip K. Dick, Giovanni Verga, Shakespeare, Fenoglio, et cetera, et cetera ad nauseum, and you’ll get a pretty good idea of what HP is
[Cut the profanity — Rosanne]

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!!!!!!

That’s not an accurate description of what happens in Equus. It’s more like a mystery story, in which a psychiatrist tries to figure out what could have driven a boy to mutilate horses in such a horrible way. (Spoilers ahead.) He finds out that the boy didn’t blind them for fun. He went crazy after a girl taunted and humiliated him, and he blinded the horses because they were watching. It’s hard-hitting and disturbing, but not in a kinky, sensationalistic way. The play was made into a movie in 1977, with Richard Burton playing the psychiatrist.
Do you think that Dumbledore’s really dead? It would be dissapointing if he was. I thought that he had some wierd sort of power in HP book 6 that he couldn’t die.
40~ How are the HP books hip? I wouldn’t really use that term.
Cheeseness,
Bagerfan
40-Sorry, you lost me. How did Vonnegut get in there?
I just realized something; Franz Ferdinand is like Francis Ferdinand, the Austrian archduke that got assassinated by Gavrilo Princip at the start of WWI.
A kid in our class thought that ‘Ice Ice Baby’ was actually ‘Nice, Nice Lady’. I laughed really hard.
My parents saw Equus on broadway, I think… Said it was very disturbing, really hit.
[Gratuitous DR slam deleted. –Robert.]
HP is popular, like bad pop music, therefore hip.
10~ THE SUPERBOWL IS SUCH A BIG DEAL!!!!
Okay, your school is obsessed ( with 5 s’s) with the Chicago Bears. NOTHING TO GET TENSE ABOUT, SCHOOL!!!
The fate of the western world does not lie on the bears winning, but it does lie on me getting to the chip bowl to wach the game. People think that It’s wierd that a girl would wach football, but, I really like the sport.
CHEESENESS,
Hockey, football and soccerfan
37~ EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWEEEEEEEWWWWWWWEEEEEW!
Why would people WANT to put up news that DR likes to have photoshoots? Something very minor to care about if you ask me.
Cheesefreak,
Saxophonejazzgirl
44: Did you read Breakfast of The Champions? Pretty good. Oh, and add Orwell to the the list.
40~ Youknow, know that you put it that way……. the HP series isint all that good. Being a Shakespere and Tolkin fan myself, you could compare HP with the Matrix movies 2 and 3.

As you may have noticed, I, the great and powerful SM2K, am back. I apoligize for being gone for a while, but at least I returned.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HP comes out a week before my Bat Mitzvah. Is stressed.
It is the week end. *Does Happy Dance*
I just read a good book again.
I haven’t read any besides the first three HP books, and in my opinion, they’re kind of like pop music, or most TV, etc: it’s mostly gratituitous pleasure without any actual cultural/intellectual value, but hey, liking it is fine as long as you remain open to other things and don’t then refuse more substantial fare for being “boring” etc.
I do feel rather guilty about enjoying most of the (good) HP fanfiction I’ve read, though.. I mean, that stuff’s _addictive_..
53: WHich one?
I have a suggestion. RRR, v. 2007.2. Specifically, a sci-fi RRR. Most of the past ones have been fantasy. I like fantasy a lot, but I think we could use something different. kiki_the_great also agreed with this idea (reference, http://www.musefanpage.com/blog/?p=646#comment-32 ), so you have two requests already. Please?

Oh joy. Flaming Harry potter, the super bowl and terrorism. This looks to be a fun thread.
*lurks off*
60) Hot Topics plz
I
would you guys stop arguing? “super bowl good vs. super bowl bad”, “HP good vs. HP bad” sheesh.
So, obviously Fridge-y dislikes Harry Potter. I’d like to know what books the rest of you are reading (not excluding you, FS! I’m curious!) I’m currently re-reading a quite good but often not heard of book – War for the Oaks by Emma Bull
63- yeah, it’s getting rather annoying when people are slamming each other’s opininons and ideas. really really annoying.
Well, I’m rereading a book called Peter and the Starcatchers by… uhhhh… well, I don’t really remember the authors (yes, there’s two). Anyways, it’s like a sequel to Peter Pan. It tells how everything happened. I am recommending that book to whoever reads this post.
sooooo, yeah. that’s about it. bye for now!
4- Yeah, we’re nerds! I yelled at a friend the other day for thinking Monty Python was one person and for only listening to us quote Flying Circus in social studies and not seeing it.
Harry Potter I thought was good when I first read the first book, but now it seems childish and poorly written, no offense Luna!!! The later books are JKR trying to make them behave like actual teens, which she gets wrong and makes them way too emotional. Note that I want to get Book 7 the day it comes out, though. I don’t want to trash HP, just state my opinion.
Random popular music comment/rant: Why is White and Nerdy so popular? It’s becoming mainstream. Weird Al. I never thought I’d see the day a “cool”, normal person actually liked one of the songs I did, but that one time I brought my iPod to school several people borrowed it to listen to that song.
10- I know what you mean… I live near Chicago too, and everyone’s getting so obsessed. Between the guys in science running around yelling, high-fiving each other while jumping on tables yelling “Da Bears!” and the supperbowl shuffle being repeatedly played over the intercom… *groan*
Right now I’m reading Ptolemy’s Gate, part of the Battimaeus Trilogy. I love the footnotes. They’re funny. Esspecally the ones in the first book. Other than that, I just got a few new books from the library. And one by Al Gore on the environment, which might help me write that paper on Global Warming I should be working on. Now. *sigh* Meh.
So its my brithday. It was so sad. I went to a show and they had a cake for someone who had just gotten a new car.
Oh well. Celebrations will take over most of this weekend. Until 6pm Sunday, when I shall lurk in my room and hate football because my family will be ignoring me.
My birthday was once on SuperBowl Sunday. After we ate dinner, everyone rushed downstairs, drank beer and yelled like donkies. I was upstairs, flipping thorugh the books I had received but was not necessarily interested in, hating football. The one time a year I wan’t people to pay attention to me and it turns out a gorilla fight is more important than my birthday. I was so upset. It was a while ago, but I still am upsest about that.
Oh well.
I didn’t get any birthday hugs today. Damn them, my lovers.
*life goes on*
Someday I’m going to crash a Tupperware party and bring in a dish with a Rubbermaid container.
(65) As said my one of my friends (regarding Weird Al) “It’s not okay when you actually like the songs he making fun of”. Missing the point.
I look forward to the Harry Potter release nights at Borders. Funfunfun.
There should be a math thread. Or a math geek thread. It amounts to the same thing. Me and whoever else comes discussing MathCounts and our regents scores. I am still ecstatic about my 100 on the Math A. And so modest. xD
68- Sometimes. Like, I hated that Avril Lavigne parody. But I loved the polka that included Float On. It was funny. And White and Nerdy gained a lot of fans from fans of the original song. I can say that personally, having heard the original usually makes me more appreciative of the parody. Has that friend heard any good Weird Al?
Yes, it is one in the morning. Yes, I am still online. Yes, this is a double post. Oh well.
My school is basically a nerd school. It’s really fun!
A nerd thread would be fun, too! Or we could just discuss it here.
Sigh….
MuseCast 2 is out. I’m listening to it on iTunes.

67- Awww! *hugs* HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Even though i should be sayingg that on the birthday thread. But it sounded like you need it now, anyway. Hmm. I think we should have a party on sunday for any museboggers who don’t want to watch the super bowl. We could just all be here. Unless the GAPAs are watching it, though. Plus it would take a lot of moderating. Oh well.
Has anyone seen MirrorMask?
what is it called on iTunes? I can’t find it.
Thanks, Jadestone! *hugs back*
Maybe I could steal my brother’s laptop for the party on here…my computer just hast to be in the same room as the tele. Yeah, put politely, I loathe football.
This blizzard has been going since early this morning. I hope it won’t keep my friends from coming over…hasn’t stop the ever-intrepid mailman. Its beautiful, but I’m bored and people need to come over.
Personally, I think the later Harry Potter books are better. The characters aren’t as two-dimensional. He has all of those adolesent insecurities to accompany the evil he’s supposed to be battling. Haha.
I’m also getting tired of his heroism. That’s why I like Ron: he’s more of a coward/loser and so more realistic. Harry can get pretty annoying sometimes.
I’d like to read a Harry Potter story/book where he’s not victorious. It’d be like a sigh of relief. Although the Harry Potter series tells a pretty sweet story, the classic good-evil squabble is starting to bore me.
Pardon, I meant: the classic good-evil squabble where good wins every time. Its just evil strikes again and again and good just knocks them down each time. Evil is not dumb. Evil could take this fate-handling, pubescent boy easily. SO WHY DON’T THEY?! Then they could see if good could fight back again. Its just growing too predictable, like the James Bond movies: you KNOW he’ll succeed in his task AND still manage to have clean shirts despite gunshots in his chest, blow millions of dollars on luxery and pick up women for a quick one. Its BOND.
I know its defeating the point, but a classic good-evil squabble in these books would be a lot more interesting without Harry. How strong is good REALLY, when their dominence is dependent on one person?
(70) Yep! (Another one Rides the Bus, Frank’s 2000 inch TV, etc XDD) It was really just us hating the music they play here, and how it’s odd that people who LISTEN to the garbage played on KISS FM and other “omg we play fergilicious 4598348543 times everyday” stations like all the song he’s poking fun at. dfjhakgd I’m not making sense, sorry. It stems from a deep annoyance at all this crap on the radio. No artistic depth. -sigh-
(77) Shall I bring popcorn, Jadestone?
Yay Harry Potter!!!
31-am a SHE
i used to love the hp books but they are sort of boring now its like jk rowling has pressure on her to produce the books and is making them as fast as possible and therfore they are not so good, the 5th one for instance was awful…in my opinion but now i have to read the 7th just to find out what happens :I
i’ve come to dislike white+nerdy almost as much as the original (forget what it’s called..riding dirty or something?)
who’s seen dreamgirls? i just saw it. ’twas good. good music.
63-american gods by neil somethingorother.
64-i read that. ’twasn’t bad. XD i didn’t think it worked as a prequel though. it’s really its own book.
(79),
It’s filed under “MuseCasts” in the “Kids & Family” section of iTune’s podcasts. But it also has its own thread on the blog now, and you can listen to it there.
86-i agree i hate that song…both of them but everyone at my school loves it
86-i agree i hate that song…both of them but everyone at my school loves it
at the bottom of the page it says – some HTML allowed: what does this mean??? please tell me, some one… Please
You can format your text in boldface or italics, create links, and do a couple of other small tricks. Nothing very exciting.
[Flammable comment deleted. –Robert]
But Luna…just because someone doesn’t take interest (or rather hates) the things you like, doesn’t me you immediately have to dislike them. Or hate the GAPAS for not posting your comment for that matter.
82- Kiss 106.1 ? Yeah, I don’t listen much to the radio these days. THey don’t have verily good songs.
86- Nup, I haven’t seen that movie. Looks good though. Anyone here watch Freedom Writers?
36 – I definitely agree with 91 on this matter. That was utterly, completely un-muser-like. We are all musers here! Everyone should get to express their views without being attacked and hated. I, personally, like the Harry Potter books, but there is a lot of other good literature in the world and Harry Potter does not appeal to everyone. And hating the GAPAs for something they may potentially do isn’t nice either.
No book drama, please! People have different tastes when it comes to a lot of things, and books are one of them. I happen to have been a Harry Potter fan for nearly a decade, but I still respect people who dislike it (except Laura Mallory). Likewise, I respect people who like things I don’t. There’s no point in battling it out. Maybe we need a Harry Potter thread, so Harry Potter can be discussed by fans and ignored by people who don’t like it? Just a thought.
8 ~ Scary leet. @_@
10 ~ I play my dad’s guitar sometimes. It’s strung backwards, though, because he’s left handed.
Crazy football-mania. If that ever happens to me (it won’t, the New York teams suck, I think), I’ll wear a soccer jersey.
Glad to hear you’re wearing forty-two, though!
12 ~ Ohio State is the only football team I even sort of follow, since my dad’s from Ohio. I adore their marching band! I want to go to OSU just so I can play sousaphone in the band. I also like going to UMass hockey games (well, technically, I’ve been to one) because of the cheers and trash-talking.
I love iSketch!
19 ~ The commercials are great. :3
20 ~ My mom told me on Thursday. She’s the librarian at her school, and she always finds out this stuff (title, release date, etc.) and has it announced over the PA. My school is stupid and doesn’t do stuff like that.
37 ~ All I can say to that is Dx. I already knew about Equus and stuff but I hadn’t heard about the six-pack and everything.
57 ~ Wow, that won a Newberry? I loved that book.
69 ~ Have I mentioned how jealous I am that you got to take that test? I hate my school district. I’ll say more in the math geek thread.
82 ~ I hate that station.
65 ~ Sarah and I were pretty shocked when we found out that our friends had never heard of Monty Python! My dad bought a boxed set of all the Flying Circus episodes. It rocks.
86 ~ xD I like White and Nerdy. It’s like…my theme song.
We were going to see Dream Girls last week but my mom changed her mind at the last minute, unfortunately.
Whee. I’ve now learned that it’s not a good idea to not come online for a few days because it takes a long time to catch up…anyway, pizza time!
47- Do you play saxophone?
I made a Sharpie drawing of a noir hbb. Hot-black bunny. B/c it’s noir. I might fax it to the GAPAs. What’s your fax number?
40. Out of curiosity, do you read Ian Flemming, Michael Crichton, stuff like that. Not exactly the same class, but the same genres and IMO, not bad…
okay
so i might have been a little off topic
just watch the video
96 ~ I got my dad Michael Crichton’s book State of Fear for Christmas, but I am ashamed to say that I only got it because it seemed like something he’d read. Luckily, I was right. I might have to steal it and take a peek myself, though.
hi
[Nicholorumus– We’re glad to have you here, but please don’t try to post links to videos. We strongly discourage that. –Robert Coontz, Administrator]
98. I only read a MIchael Crichton after seeing a movie preview that looked pretty good that was based on one of his books (am a little ashamed). Read book, it was fun, kinda cheap sci-fi but fun…read others of his too, but not tons.
I hath returned.
This week has been totally chaotic. I’ll try to sum it up.
This week…
~ J and I broke up. Guess our personalities were really starting to clash (He’s an extreme introvert, I’m extremely hyperactive these days…You get the picture). We’re still friends…I think. At least he’s been acting like it. Which is good.
~ I might have actually scored higher than a C on my last bio test.
~ I’m doing this Italian song called Sebben Crudele for voice lessons. It’s such a pretty song.
~ J moved to another town.
I don’t know if he misses me, but I’m starting to miss him a bit. For some reason.
~ Tabby and I went to the mall on Friday, and she taught me how to play DDR. I’m horrible at it right now, but it’s really fun, so I plan to get better at it. We met these weird guys at the mall, and Tabby obviously likes one of them. Tch…Oh well, they’re not really weird in a bad way.
~Then Tabby came over to my house to spend the night. We figured out that her friend Corey (Yet another Corey – I know several) lives in my neighborhood, so he came over. We played Super Smash Bros and Bad Fur Day until 12:30. Good times.
~ …And then I had to be at work at 9:30 in the morning. Bleh. Got in 7.5 hours today, though.
~ The weird guys from the mall decided to come + visit me at work. Obviously, they think I’m as interested in them as Tabby is…Augh…
~ I watched Employee of the Month. It was hi-larious!
It’s two degrees right now. According to the news, the windchill is -31 in Marquette. This is pretty crazy.
(101) Ugh. Sympathy for you where Biology is concerned. I pulled a B- this semester and was overjoyed.
OH MY GOD DOUBLE POST BUT EIJI WENTZ IS ON TV ADKFJHADJKGNHAAHNKAB
I love you, channel 18. oh god.
UGh, Biology, Physics and Chemistry are my worst subjects.
I’m taking biology right now. I like the class…and have always liked science, but I don’t really like my teacher.
Twas -10 last night. Brrrrrr. Looks like Global Warming isn’t coming for a while….
if it gets below zero here, we don’t have skewl.
wimpy ohioans.
but i guess a lot of people walk to skool here…
98,100-Ew. I hate Michael Crichton.
I got tickets to a chimpanzee lecture with Jane Goodall for March 25. I’m excited.
I have chemistry right now. Boo-ring.
Find the secret message! “Beryllium, Argon-Tungsten, Indium”
I’m not an intense Potterhead, but I can hold my own in a trivia quiz. Sometimes.
Went to go seen The Complete History of America [abriged] last night. Sooooo funny. I was literally doubled over laughing, with tears streaming out of my eyes almost the entire time. Cynical, but fabulous. And got two giant bags of Lindt chocolate. A very good day.
No school if it’s below zero! Cool!
It went below zero here last week and we had a 2-hour delay! Squee!
(108) Not necessarily. It’s a commonly held misconception that global warming=only warmer weather. But it can result in unusually cold temperatures, fiercer storms, that sort of thing.
(109) Same here regarding Harry Potter. (Though I prefer the phrase “Potterphile”) The crazy fans me me lulz.
Yesterday I went to the LA Country Museum of Art to see the Magritte exhibit. It was interesting, but I liked the Japanese zen scrolls more… surrealism is not my thing, I guess.
111 ~ Your school must be really wussy or something. -kidding, I’m totally jealous-
GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
108- if it gets below 35 here we don’t have school.
no…go BEARS!! “I an’t here to start no trouble, I’m just here for the superbowl shuffle!” lololol.
I’m so sore. My back hurts. I feel like an old lady. Plus my mom’s still making me do all the chores because of her foot. Argh.
101 ~ Yikes, you have my sympathy! I’d give you a heart, but the bracket thingies screw stuff up since they’re the same ones used in the HTML.
107 ~ Yeah, it seems that way, but let’s not get complacent…global warming doesn’t exactly work that way. Anyway, if some politician cites this winter as an example of why global warming is all a lie, I’ll strangle him/her. (Epicenes, please!) (Also, that’s not a serious threat. I’d be pretty pissed, though!)
108, 111, 113, 115 ~ Guess my joking scorn was misdirected. Lizzie’s school gets the wuss prize!
They all ready canceled my school for tomorrow!!! Its been 2 degrees here all day… I’m so excited!!!!!
116-We are the Bears’ shufflin’ crew,
Shufflin down like you knew we would.
We’re so bad you know we’re good,
Blowing your mind like we knew we would.
We ain’t hear to cause no trouble,
We’re just here to do the superbowl shuffle.
Has anyone seen Mirrormask? Has anyone read Stardust? I recomend them!
There was a high today of about three degrees, and its still snowing like mad out there. Visibility sucks and a lot of people are getting stuck. They canceled chruch today. There is no way that school can still be in session tomorrow.
I wrote “stupid bowl” on the back of our car, hoping to get a lot of angry honks, but to no avail. Shoot.
I’ve noticed that as one gets older, they get more practical gifts. I’m frustrated with that right now. I got…five books for my birthday, one of which is a guide to London (I’m going there for spring break.) I also got a map of London. And a fat lot of guitar picks. And another bloody setimental card. However, I got a Motion City Soundtrack CD, an Electric Light Orchestra CD and a “Cheat to Win” Onion bracelet (from my friends and my brother). Life goes on.
My hair is currently orange. I dyed it with henna, it was supposed to be reddish-brown and turned out to be orange. I hope it’ll fade nicely in the coming days.
Peas and wuv from Visala.
Oh maaaan! I can play defense better than the Colts! If only that guy had been forty-two instead of forty-three.
But seriously, you should have seen my awesome tackle in the boys versus girls game in gym class this fall. Travis did not score, I’m proud to say. The only thing is that it was flag football. xD
We have a 2-hour delay tomorrow because it’s supposed to be REALLY COLD!!!
The windchill is going to be -20 degrees! That’s colder than it has been here for, like, a zillion years!
Colts won. Aw. Not that I care, or anything, but everyone at school will be extremely depressed.
WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! NO SCHOOL FOR EBETH!!!! kind of sad, but i’m not complaining! Especially since i was just forcing myself to do my history notes…cleveland and themsuch are so boring. well except cleveland got shot by some crazy guy who wanted a job. but the presidents around that time are boring. and nothing happened. except immigrants, which i’ve learned about several times.
(123) It was 88 degrees here.
I love California.
:O
YAAY!!! Colts won!!!
(That’s because the colts beat the patriots, who beat the chargers.)
88 degrees?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? That’s so cool!
Today the windchill is -20 degrees. And we have a 2-hour delay! Squee!
125 – No school 4 me either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! w00t! I don’t have to decide between going to assistnat teaching or volleyball practice! (we have a game tomorrow, and then a game after that, and we’ve only had 3 practices.)
Home from school today. My utterly non-wussy school didn’t cancel or anything – wussy me did. -coughs up a lung- I know if I was at school everyone would be like “OMG you’re dying! Go home!” because I always do that to people who’re coughing this badly and I wanted to save my dad the trouble of coming to pick me up. xD I really don’t want to get any sicker.
Yeah Colts! Not that I cared much – I was rooting for them only because of Steven Colbert’s anti-bearness. xD
Yes! Our 2-hour delay was turned into a snow day! Squeeeeeee!
I got The Princess Bride (book) from ze book store today. Yes!
131 ~ Nice.
I think teachers complain too much. They complain about grading work that they assigned, they complain about coming to school even though they get paid and we don’t, and now, apparently, they’re complaining about getting work together for people who are sick. I guess they want me to get way behind on my schoolwork!
Hey guys.
hey! long time no see! i think…*pies*
Hahaha…we skipped page 666! try it. there’s 665, this is 667, no 666. *laffs at superstitionness* whee! that amuses me. i wonder if we skipped 13?
no we didn’t. odd. oh well…
135 ~ Oh yeah. That’s weird.
No Stupid Bowl for another year! Yea! And i don’t have school today because of parent teacher conferences! Yea! What was everyone’s favoite Stupid Bowl commercial? I didn’t see every single one, but i’d have to go with the beard comb over.
Hey GAPAs? I would like to request a thread called “Musings.” People can write articles for the newspaper, and other people can read them! Whaddya say, Musers? Sound good?
137 ~ That one was bizarre. xD
138 ~ That sounds like a cool idea!
Sorry, guys. You’re right, I was a little overboard in my response to FrigidSymphony. (And I owe you and apology, too, FS, and you GAPAs.) Sorry.
Although, truly, I think HP is quite well written, it certainly captivates my interest and holds it better than LOTR and the Hobbit did. Better than Shakespeare, also. Ugh, i had to read Romeo and Juliet in the confuzzling Shakespearian language (I know, it’s english, but definitely not modern normal english….) a couple years ago for school, and it nearly put me to sleep.
Sorry again, guys (or girls).
#42, that’s just what the paper said, and what my mom said she found on the internet, ’cause she looked more up on it, or some psycho reason. You’re description makes it sound much more normal, and not nearly as psychotic and disturbing (Not that I’m particularly interested in it, or anything.)
“for some psycho reason” not “or some psycho reason”
Whoever wrte equus was either really sick… or totally metal!! yeahè
143, true, very, very true. (I assume you mean mental, not metal? Sorry, not trying to be a jerk and criticize you’re writing, just wanted to know.)
137: Stupid Bowl, LOL. I hate the super bowl. My boss asked me who I would be cheering for when I was working on Saturday…I was just like “You know, I really don’t care.”
144: Oh wow, hi! Long time, no see!
Today’s a snow day for me as well! W00t! I got 12.5 hrs of sleep – Felt sooo good to my sleep-deprived soul.
I missed the Super Bowl… I was at a chamber music concert. it was in a chapter house for the DAR. Does anybody know the point of the DAR??
(If you don’t know what that stands for, it’s: Daughters of the American Revolution)
145~ you are so lucky!!! we haven’t had a snow day in… oh… a month. We’ve had a surprising amount of snow this year. but now it’s just raining… which is totally normal.
146 ~ I always wondered what the point was…
We haven’t had a snow day yet. It finally snowed, but on a Friday night.
132-It’s not so hard to be a teacher. You get paid, it’s not very demanding, it doesn’t require much further schooling except whatever grade you’re teaching, no one forces you to do it, and you have the same hours as your kids. And summers off.
140-I’m partial to Romeo and Juliet. I recommend the opera by Charles Gounod, Romeo et Juliette. You may like it better. No, seriously–you can tell what’s going on.
146-I know what the DAR is. Note that there are no DCR. Wait. There really was no Canadian revolution. Right, then.
Don’t ask me/’Cuz I don’t know!
121- how do you do that? (dye hair with henna, that is)
(146, 147) Ah, the mysterious DAR. For one thing, members who have died qualify for nice little plaques on their grave sites which can then be replaced every few years when the lawnmowers grind them up sufficiently. No disrespect meant, as my mother, both grandmothers, and who knows how many acres of deceased relatives have been quietly bedeviling groundskeepers for decades.
Years ago I did some family-history research in the DAR archives in DC, which was great fun. They have books, documents, and records of all sorts, dealing both with genealogy and the era. In the membership archives I could look up the microfilms of my relatives’ actual applications. By then prospective members could no longer simply copy a relative’s papers from too far back, since not all the older claims could hold up to the scrutiny of modern research standards. (In order to join you have to be able to prove an ancestor took part in the Revolution.)
Other than that, I don’t know too much about it, and maybe some of its rules have changed. My mother didn’t get the bug to join until the last years of her life, so I never heard many details. A certain number of moms probably sign up in case their daughters later develop an interest. Anyway, if ever called upon to infiltrate the organization for any reason (in the interests of world domination or some such), my mother has paved the way.
My mother’s mother also belonged to a lesser known group called Colonial Dames. The name always gave me the giggles when I was a kid. I could picture the big Broadway dance number — South Pacific relocated to 17th-century Jamestown.
By the way, Queenie J, the Colonial Dames do have a Canadian chapter.
Ebeth: There’s a mixture of henna leaves and other botanical things that you can buy at the People’s Food Co-op. I don’t know if there is one where you live, but they’re scattered all over the country. It comes it different colours, too, but adapts to your hair colour (that’s why my hair wasn’t straight red– it shaded my natural hair colour). You mix it in with boiling water, wait for it to cool and apply it to your hair via a paintbrush or squeeze-bottle. Then leave it for about an hour or so (depending) with a plastic bag over your head. The stuff looks like an unappetizing mixture of pesto and…crap. Very weird, but pretty awesome.
140-i like shakespeare. ’tis kewl.
bill and i totally went to graeter’s and got ice cream. YES WE PWN. And we might not have skool tomorrow either! w00t!
143- Me is in agreement.
138- Erm… isn’t that what Mews Nuse is for?
We have a 2-hour delay tomorrow too! Squee! Ahh, I love -20 degree (F) weather. Yes!!!
I think we should have another Mews Nuse thread. We haven’t had one for a really long time. And it was fun!
Anybody ever been to the DAR museum? They had a great exhibit on colonial oddities about a year ago.
150 ~ Well, Patrick Henry was my ancestor on my dad’s side, but I have no idea if anyone’s actually sure or whether they just made it up. xD
151 ~ I’d like to try that. It’s so much more natural sounding than Color Pulse.
I DON’T CARE IF I DIE. I’M GOING TO SCHOOL TOMORROW.
(148) Um, as the child of a teacher, I would have to say that teaching is possibly one of THE MOST demanding jobs. (Of course, I’m biased.) And you need to have a lot more schooling than what you’re teaching. You don’t necessarily have the same hours as the kids, depending on meetings and extra duties. Also, there’s always the matter of grading, and lesson plans, and etc etc. Plus kids are unpredictable (though apparently a joy to be around. Sometimes.) so you need to be on top of things; have control of the class, be able to handle situations etc.
Maybe it was 6 months. I have a horrible sense of sequencing/timing.
157 ~ Yeah, my parents are both teachers (although my mom is now a librarian at a middle school and my dad’s a college professor) so I agree.
I don’t think that bringing a piece of paper down to guidance is a big deal, though.
149-You buy a bar of henna, melt it, put it on your hair, and leave it on. If you want darker color, leave it on longer. Putting plastic wrap on your head creates red undertones; leaving it off makes blue undertones.
Do you know what really annoys me? We’re learning about World War I in school right now, and Canada is totally ignored. The storm troops. The Princess Pats. The First Newfoundland Regiment. Etcetera.
160- If you’re in an american history class, get used to it. Canada is just not an abrasive enough country to get mention in our war mongering society. I’m sorry, but it will be overlooked in every [american] history class you take from here on in.
Both my parents are teachers too! I agree Axa! It is an extremely DEMANDING job!! They don’t get paid alot and they have to deal with little/big brats all day long.
(160) What is henna?
Speaking of teachers, I feel really bad for one of mine! Every year since we’ve been in Middle School all of our A.I.G. English teachers have left for some reason or other. Everyone says that our grade is cursed. Well, our last one left after she had her baby (she did it extremely inconveniently but that’s another story) and we just got our new teacher yesterday. She is fresh from colledge. Need I say more? And here is an example of a kid in my class:
Math teacher: You guys are getting a new English teacher next week! She just came from colledge so……..
Kid: Oooooooooooooooooooooooh! Is she HOT?!
Well, the very first class with her and I knew it was going to be a disastor! Her first speech is: “Good morning boys and girls! My name is _________. I think that literature, especially writing, is a wonderful way of expressing your feelings deep down inside! We’re going to have a wonderful rest of the year!”
Ouch! She has no idea what she is getting herself into! I even heard afew guys in the hall talking about the best way to run her off! Isn’t that awful?!
NO SCHOOL!! For the SECOND DAY IN A ROW!!
I CAN GET HOMEWORK DONE!
And I will laugh my pants off if school is closed again tomorrow. Or at least KPS.
Cos if that happens, we’ll only have a one-day school week! We get Friday off for development.
And I won’t have my English class that I usually spend all of Tuesday panicking about.
I was supposed to have a test tomorrow, but I doubt that’s going to happen cos we haven’t had time to review cos SCHOOL’S OUT!!
So I’m not completely breaking up this flow: my dad’s family has set in their minds that they’re related to Pocohantas. I actually wouldn’t be surprised, cos there was a man in our family named Pohatan and it was a family name. My mum set out to prove them wrong and she did. My aunt (by marriage) is related to George Washingon…
OH!! My favourite!! Our family has a direct bloodline to Jan Hus, founder of the Hussites of Bohemia (or “Heretics” of Bohemia, as Joan of Arc called them when she threatened to invade). My great-grandfather’s last name is Huss and he immigrated from Germany. We think his family was forced out of Bohemia at some point. Tell me that’s not pretty cool.
Ummm..other connections to interesting people…my friend’s cousin is Tea Leoni…both of my great-grandfathers worked for Henry Ford (though that’s interesting in itself, its not a very cheery subject. My grandma has never spoken about it to anyone)…Uh…apart from that, not much.
140- Shakespeare is love. You get more from it if you see the plays being preformed, though. If you’re reading them, its just not the same feel as watching it be preformed by people who already know what the characters are like, how their emotions influence their actions. Shakespeare was playwrite (spelling?), thus his works (sonnets excepted) are meant to be acted out. They weren’t intended as something you sit down to read, like a novel.
But you can get even more out of it if you’re preforming it…
As an actor, you have to study the script, find out what everything means and work with it. You have to put your own emotion into it and put yourself out there as the character.
You can tell I had loads of fun at Shakespeare camp over the summer. “MAAAAAAAAAAAACBETH!!” (I was Hecate and the First Murderer. Go long flowly black cloakes!)
Forgot to say this before, but this is our fourth snowday this year. I’m a happy person.
YES!!! Our 2-hour delay was turned into a cold day once again! *Rejoices*
I agree, teaching is really demanding. You have to make lesson plans, attend meetings, teach (which can be exhausting), and it requires a lot of schooling.
yeah this is our second snow day too. actually im starting to go rather insane. i just finished the fifth book ive read this weekend and am partway through another. its good though “twilight”, by someone i cant remember. i also finished a whole music theory book for piano, my teacher will die of shock, i never do my stupid theory. anyway, im very bored. thats why i decided to read museblog, its always entertaining.
sorry to double post but okay, i just found actual ice INSIDE my bedroom window. IT IS SO COLD! (my room the attic of the old garage, meaning there is NO HEAT!) and im staying in my room because i cant stand the rest of my family right now. four days with the same two people stranded in the middle of nowhere (i live 20 minutes from the nearest town and civilization). AHHHHHHHH so im wearing a sweatshirt, winter vest, gloves, everything, inside my room. i hope we have school tomorrow so i dont freeze to death here. maybe ill go skiing now. bye!
PurplishGlass – my room doesn’t have heat either! For the past few days I’ve been sleeping on a mattress in Anna (THF/P)’s room because it is too cold there. I have a space heater in there sometimes, but it doesn’t really work very well and it always blows circuits. So, mostly, when it’s so cold things freeze and frost, (basically, the entire winter), I sleep in Anna’s room.
Hello,everyone. does anyone remember me? its probably a stupid question, but i have to ask it. its been nearly a year since i started museblogging and its been months since i last posted. i feel really guilty about not posting or even lurking, so i decided to come back for some randomized informative discussion of the sort that is always prevalent around here. We also had 4 snowdays this year, 2 this week and 2 in january. i could really get to like this kind of winter. And is anyone here planning on becoming a lawyer?
NOOO SHCOOL TWO DAYS IN A ROW!!!!!!
Has anyone ever been to the house on the rock in Wisconsin? I hav’nt but my dad says it’s awsome.
166~ Twilight meaning Warriors?
164~ I know that all of Shakespere’s plays are REALLY cool, but havent you noticed that almost everyone dies in the end? ( Keels over)
I’m still sick. Dx I went to school anyway, like I said I would, but I kept coughing during the quiet parts of the competition. Oh well, at least I’m getting out of youth chorale because of it!
166 ~ Oh, I read that. Stephanie Meyer or something, unless that was another book…anyway, about the vampires, right?
Shakespeare is fun to act. I’ve never tried to read one of his plays though.
168–yeah i though about sleeping downstairs but ive gotten used to using tons of quilts. its really only during the day i mind the cold.
170–No, Twilight as in about vampires. Kinda strange, but in a good way. Im usually not into stuff like vampires at all, but all my friends love it and its new sequel, so im trying it. I’ve read the warriors one though i think (is it about cats?).
I love Shakespeare, though getting past the dialogue and understanding the plot is difficult, the stories are so cool. Not everyone dies though, in Twelfth Night and Midsummers Nights Dream no one dies (those are the only two ive been in though).
164-When I saw Macbeth, Duncan listened to the wounded soldier’s account of the battle in Act I and then said, “Go get him, Surgeons!” as opposed to “Go, get him surgeons.” Ten out of ten for creativity, but minus several hundred for accuracy, no?
quiero una thread por hablar en otros lenguajes como los coy woodness-es. Por favor???? (translation: I would like a coy woodness thread. Please?)
I like your name, PurpleishGlass!
HI! would you like to vote on muse’s awesomeness? come visit:
[Sorry, Ch.! We’re glad you like Muse, but the blog’s “post no links” policy remains in effect. –Robert]
I’m so bored. this is strange since I have so much homework to do…
I hate my name!!!! grrrr!!!! I’m going into hysterics again!!! AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Where’s that muse to keep me calm??? *pant* *pant*
I just got my mental_floss. They did an article on Noam Chomsky (May/June 2006), English as she is spoke (ditto), and John Symmes, who thought the Earth was hollow (can’t remember the ish)! OMG PLAGIARISM!!! j/k. Speaking of mental_floss, if we joined forces with those guys, then we could REALLY put Mostly Harmless into action! Of course, they’d only be our groveling minions, but you know what I mean.
OMG! There’s a Wiktionary article on “meh”!
Hey MBers it’s been awhile but anyway CAN WE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HAVE A THREAD ON THE LEGEND OF ZELDA SERIES it would make me very happy
169) D: I remember you!
Today I almost feel asleep 34825924876 times in math class. Not fun.
169-i remember you too. go me.
If i had a million dollars…
ok, get this for ohioan wimposity
jacob: let’s go to the bball game at skool
me: um
jacob: there’s nothing else to do
me: true
me: when? /do i get a ride? /does it cost money?
[blahblahblah]
jacob: oh wait…i can’t go
me: what?
jacob: my mom says it’s too cold out
me: um…i just walked to the freaking library. it’s not that cold
jacob: i know
me: you won’t even be outside
jacob: i know, i told her that. she still says no
me: is she from like florida or what?
178-ha. ha. zelda. oh man. the inside jokes…they’re crushing me…most of them are too dubious to relate…but just go watch the old tv shows…ha.
i’m totally procrastinating now…woohoo…
I stopped by the nano chat a few days ago. Yes, people hang around there in the off-months. A lot of them. it was late at night too. I was impressed. XD
History notes should die. Just go die in a pit. A crocodile pit. On fire. Guarded by ninjas. Inside a solid metal building. Without a door. And with bulletproof shields. And the secret service. And an atomic bomb set to blow the whole thing up, just in case the notes might possibly happen to escape the pit. Yup. That sounds good. Think there’s any way they can get out of that? Mebbe i should add some scorpions.
146: Well this was the first snow day we had all year. Stupid superintendent from the UP…
156: Color Pulse is really neat (But you’re right, it doesn’t exactly look natural). Just don’t use Electric Black if you have red hair – You’ll end up w/ purple highlights! Yes, I learned that the hard way…It was pretty cool the first day, but then the novelty wore off. :s
169: Velcome back!
174: Do you, by chance, know how to insert “`these thingies“` when you’re typing?
178: We should definitely have one of those – And if any of you guys have any questions regarding O of C…I have the cheat book (Which I got after beating the game, I swear!)! Mwahaha!
179: You’re not in stats, are you? Stats is ZZZ^2.
So. I found out today that the guy I like is head-over-heels in love w/ this other girl. Oh well. Freaking lucky girl, she is. Ha. I like how absolutely all my lovelife drama has happened w/ in the course of this year. :S
I think the next thread should be called “Marvelous March, ‘Cause It’s /gradster(1)/’s Birthmonth”.
Meh. Nobody will notice me again.

10,11,12 et cetera – I hate football too, but the ads are usually good.
And Ebeth…. You play trumpet? Kool, me’s too. I got into All-Districts and was really happy until I found out it was

Oh well. Keep reading!

I don’t know much about football, but I do know that the Bears were freaking awesome in the first quarter. I don’t care who won.
/gradster(1)/
182-i think miraculous march
181 ~ I have brown hair and I used Chilled Plum. It was really purple for about two days, really red for a week or so after that, and then vaguely red for another month. It was pretty cool but weird. I want to try another color soon (that was at the end of October…dyed it on Halloween morning, actually). I’m thinking maybe Funky Cherry or Copper Blast but I’m not sure.
I found out that my friend has a crush on the same boy as I do. I doubt he likes either of us, honestly. He seems to hang out with the popular girls more, although he’s fun when he’s around. He’s also a complete idiot. We were playing with our Sameer voodoo doll and he accidentally ripped my earring out. The newly-ish pierced one. Dx
184 ~ He’s a famous African-American poet.
185 ~ That kickoff return touchdown thingy was pretty damn awesome, I’ll give you that!
thanks all of you who remember me!
179- Math is one of the most boring classes of all. Or were you almost falling asleep because you didnt get enuff sleep?
What about Museful March? not that all months arent museful, of course
187- Sameer voodoo doll? This is around when I should stop and ask myself, do I really want to know? He’s not that bad. And it actually seemed to me that he wasn’t as supremely good over us all in the countdown round. But the edge of desparation I usually have around then, with “will this ruin our score”, was kind of drowned, along with most worries and sadnesses, right after I won the award. And then I made a stupid mistake. Solving a problem for undefined instead of zero. That’s me.
188- *anger built up from days of being excited about math team and having everyone else insult math* MATH IS NOT BORING!!!!!!! I’ve been told I have anger issues by friends.
I HAVE A SUGGESTION!!!!
*Ahem* A spoonerisms thread.
Some of my favorites:
Beorge Gush
Brodo Faggins

Stingo Rarr

190-s/he did say math class….
176- in what way?
okay, bedtime.
(189) I’ve been getting no sleep for the past few days. Like six hours, and I need way more than that. x___x Ugh. (But it’s boring too!)
I’m simutaneously reading Jane Eyre (of my own volition thx) and Great Expectations (because of school) and it does not bode well. Classics should not mix.
(191),
Sounds like a natural for the Words & Names thread.
(164) Lady V, many of my ancestors were followers of your ancestor.
March Malarky?
Alas. My new teacher got worse. She came up to the front of the class yesterday and said…………………
Teacher: “Good Moring boys and girls! Today we are going to study nouns!
Me: Glares
Teacher: Now, I don’t know if you guys know what a noun is. A noun is a word that is either a person, place, or thing.
Me: Glares
Teacher looks around the room, no doubt wondering why everyone is glaring at her.
Me: Glares
Teacher: Well, I’m going to hand out this worksheet and we’ll go over it together.
Me in thought: Does she think we’re idiots? This is an advanced class! Grrrrrrrrrr!
(169) No. I don’t want to be a lawyer.
If you guys had to make a whole meal out of beans, would you it be …..
A) Grean Beans
B) Lima Beans
C) Black Beans
You know how american lawyers commit suicide? By jumping from their Ego onto their IQ.
199-oh man, lawyer jokes.
that’s a good one
198-i hate beans…
193-i didn’t like jane eyre much. mostly because i hated the title character…with a fiery burning passion…
199: ha. ha. ha.
Oh sheep. My DS got stolen. At school. Sheep. Gosh. Grrrrrrrr. *headdesk* IT COST 140 FRICKIN DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!
/rant
I never understood why people were always so hard on lawyers. Maybe because my mother was a lawyer (now she’s an ALS) or because I’ve met plenty living where I live that they all seem perfectly pleasant to me. I just don’t see why everyone’s so hard on them. They’re just doing they’re job. And why are american lawyers worse than any other lawyers?
202- My TI84+ was stolen at school. Sorry to hear about the gameboy. How can people do that?
Today school started up again. Much as i hate the idea of it, if we had had any more snow days we would be forced to make them up at the end of the school year, a waste of time for all involved.
198- garbanzo beans, also known as chick peas.
203- I meant ALJ. oops.
178-Pass me the stupid hat, but what is mental_floss.
199-And Swiss guitar players commit suicide by jumping from their self-image onto their ratings.
203-No offense meant to anyone at all, but Americans tend to sue more. It’s just how it works. Therefore, they support more lawyers. You’re right, though. The lawyers I know are all very nice people, with lots of integrity.
I found out something interesting today. P.G. Wodehouse’s stories were used to educate German spies about English culture. One was actually let down in the middle of Warwickshire–in spats. He was apprehended at once.
My reflexes are now in English. English. English. Man, am I depressed by that. It’s like some of me has disappeared.
190 ~ We don’t actually hate him. We also have no grounds to dislike him on personal reasons, since not one of us has ever spoken to him. It makes us feel better to have a red smiley face thing named Sameer that we can throw around, though. xD
It also made us feel better that neither of our math teachers knows how to find the volume of a pyramid.
More in reply to that post in the math geek thread.
193 ~ My English teacher gave me a copy of Jane Eyre last year but I still haven’t read it. I’m not sure where it is, actually.
202 ~ You reported it and stuff, right?
OH MY GOD.
IF YOU LIVE IN LAS VEGAS I OFFICIALLY HAT YOU AND EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU.

I am flamablamablously working on my flamablamablous essay. I have a flamablamablous beginning and not much else. I am writing in a flamablamablous persona that i still don’t know exactly what to do with.

188: It’s always awkward when you + one of your friends find out that you like the same person…LOL, maybe you could share – The guy would probably think he’s the luckiest guy ever! XD
I HATE my stupid AP World History teacher!!!!!!!!!!
Today:
We read about the Vikings, then out of nowhere, with no proof from anywhere, my teacker tells us that he doesn’t think that the Vikings raped people because they were good people…
Yesterday:
He told us he was an adult so we automatically needed to respect him.
Earlier in the year, he told us all Spartans were homosexual because guys slept together in army baracks, and all Greeks were egotists for keeping slaves!!!!!!!!!
212: O jej. One of those. Do some research on your own (Cartoon history of the world…) and ace your quizzes.
and maybe correct him if he’s really off track. But don’t get in a hissy fight w/ a teacher. I did once…it didn’t end well. 
My birthday is on the list!!!!! YAY!!!!! (cerulean blue)
Halfway to school, my dad turned the car around because of my coughing and now I’m home for another day. Yay.
213 ~ Arguing with teachers can be really fun, though. I argue with my Spanish teacher almost daily – it’s a nice end to the day. Seriously. He thinks I should be a lawyer because I enjoy arguing with him so much, plus I usually win. xD
212 – The Vikings weren’t any worse than the rest of the psychopathic megalomaniacs floating around at the time. Well, not much worse. They did invent the blood eagle, but that’s better than crucifixion, which the Romans enjoyed a few centuries earlier. They were as brutal as most conquerors, really, but less efficient. They only half conquered Britain, so some of the history was written by the losers. That’s why the vikings got a particularly bad press.
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Well? What do you have to say?!
That was a random thought. Oops! :blush: of course it was! This is the RANDOM THREAD!
My smilie didn’t come out. I got the wrong word! Okay! Here goes!
Try saying water da wad o’ water, what? really fast in a funny accent. like waddadawadowaddawha? it’s really fun. I made that one up today. XD
212-Um, yeaaahhhh……….ok, then, your teacher’s crazy. Just…plain…crazy.
I argued (sort of) with my english teacher today. We were doing a charachter analyzation thing on the Prince in Romeo and Juliet. Of course, she insisted that the prince was an arrogant, pompous jerk. First of all, we’ve only got one speech from him (We’re stiiiillllll on act 1) and nothing in what he says supports the charachter traits she picked out when looked at in context. When I pointed this out to her, she of course used a circular arguement that didn’t prove anything. Noting that I had cocked my head to the side and had given a sigh of exasperation, she found it necessary to point out to the class that I obviously did not agree with her. Such is my life.
215: Monty python moment…
“Crucifixion?”
“Yes”
“through there, then”
-next person-
“Crucifixion?”
“Ah, no. Freedom.”
“Freedom?”
“Yes, ah, I’m supposed to go free.”
“Okay, go down that hall and turn left, then”
“Only kidding. I really meant crucifixion”
“Okay, through there then”
-deep breaths- Penty has has a very bad day and needs a jug.
…so she read Naruto badfic to cheer herself up because she is lame.
Penty hasn’t argued with a teacher lately, because she either likes them or is scared of them. But she has had three extrmeely stupid arguments in the last week, which she will proceed to tell you about because she can.
1) In a terrorism seminar with a silly child who thought George Bush was a terrorist. Said silly child called her a Republican. OMGWTFBBQ. Anyone who has known Penty for any amount of time knows that she is not Republican. At all. Excuse her. Just because she doesn’t mindlessly bash Bush and slap any negative label onto him she can means she’s Republican? Apparently to be rational is now anti-anti-Administration. If this is the future of the Democratic Party, Penty will take her chances with being an independent.
2) With the stupidest person in the world (not the above). Could be described as anti-Freudian, but that actually makes him sound like he gets his ideas from his head. He has decided that men ‘create’ because they cannot have children, and that for some reason they want to. Here follows the conversation, paraphrased:
PENTY: D00d, women create plenty of stuff besides babies.
D00D: But in history, men have always created more because they feel inadequate or something blah blah blah.
PENTY: -_-; No, men have created more because of nasty sexist attitudes and because there is only so much you can do with seventeen children. Besides, men have children too. That is why I have two parents.
D00D: But it is the actual act of childbirth…
PENTY: -_-;;;;;;; You want to have babies.
D00D: Well, in a manner of speaking…
PENTY: -dies-
I kid you not. Please tell me that rational males have some respect for women and do not think like this. Please.
3) With her roommate, on whether she has ever had four bars of cell phone reception at school. (She hasn’t.)
PWT PWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
223 (ts)- Yes he does. Hello, because I do not believe I have had the pleasure of your acquaintance before. I hope that I find you in good health.
222 (yours truly)- Penty needs a hug, not a jug. Although a large jug of apple cider would not be that bad either.
215: I rise to defend the vikings. There is a whole, great rich culture in norse viking culture. actually vikings where just norsemen who went raiding as a way to get fame and fortune. realy. the vikings are about th most heroic people you could find.
224- Lol. here. *hands jug o’ cider to Penty*
On my iChat buddy list, there is this handy little feature that lets you not just have the person’s screenname on your list, but their actual name. So I have all my MB friends listed as “museblogname/reallifename”. Except for Margaret, who I have listed as “Margaret from the MB” so I don’t confuse her w/ another Margaret whom I happen to know.
what do you do when you and a girl both like each other, but she has a boyfriend and feels guilty, and you feel guilty because she feels guilty because of you?
Now I’m getting the relationship problems…
227-i’m thinking if she likes you she should probably break up with her bf. she’d most likely feel guiltier cheating than breaking up, and just not doing anything es stupido.
226-how about me?
i tried that whole naming-my-friends thing, but i actually like seeing their sn better. it kind of helps me separate online conversations from real-life ones. and it helps me remember peoples’ sns in case things go crazy-messed, which they have before.
Homecoming’s this weekend. i’m not terribly excited. but it should be fun, despite the horrible music.
228: They’ve been tgether for 4 years, and, well… I don’t really know what she’s feeling, but in the meantime we decided ‘friends for now’. Which is working because we didn’t really do anything yet, just openly admit that we like each other and expose the whole topic in order to find the best apporach. So I’ll just go on as before, with a heartache, that’s caught in my eye, and you know… I never cry…
(ok, the alice cooper referencewas a bit much, but I AM sad inside…)
229. That sucks…the “friends for now part”…
228. eww…homecoming. At my school it is some DJ who has no clue what he/she is doing, play idoit boy bands or rap…still I’ll probably waste 4 bucks to go anyway.
229- Keeping in mind that I’m three years younger than you, have never had a boyfriend and don’t understand the meanings of such oft-used words as “hot”, my advice is to be truthful with the girl’s boyfriend. Not that I’d ever do anything like that in an analogous situation. I’d probably never be in an analogous situation, but if it were me I’d probably wait and analyze my feelings. Do you really like her? Is it worth it to ruin a relationship of four years? Do you think your relationship with her will last? I wouldn’t trust any of my own advice, but you might want many opinions. So here it is.
(222) BADFIC A++++++ You should read ItaSaku. It’s hilarious. Also, I missed Penty. Good job not being a computer junkie like me and actually committing to school! 8D
So now not bashing=being Republican. what. Someone obviously doesn’t know much about anything. But you get get SEMINARS. I envy you. You go to boarding school right? D: Yes plz, gimme some of that.
(227) I think it’s ultimately up to her on what to do, but if she truly likes you, and isn’t just in some weird relationship phase or something (not to say she is! D: I mean no offense, it just seems like that could happen.) then it will most likely work itself out. If she’s sixteen like you, four years means since they were twelve…? Although she may be older. Still, at a young age, four years is a very long time. And such.
………….-drowns misery in KAT-TUN- oh god I hate Las Vegas.
*hugs Penty*
*does a jig to cheer her up*
And my sympathies for FS, too. I don’t really think I can give any helpful advice. But here’s some virtual choklt *gives*
I have no friends…
just kidding. I have lots of friends. Who have other friends, who they like more.
Life’s really not that bad. Deep breath. Ahh. Sigh. Hmmm.
(Skipper had a bad day)
222- *hugs*
That’s stoopid. Did you correct this silly child?
Poor fridgey.
Need hug too?
232- Fwa I would die if Fahrenheit went to Las Vegas and I couldn’t go. I might stoop to hitch hiking..
Relay for lifeeeeeee.
Captain..first time doing it this year.
stress-stress-stress-stress
We’re trying to fundraise $3,000.
per person.
hahahahahaha-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
226 – that’s what I do, too!
*hugs Penty*
*hugs FS*
234-w00t for relay for life! We have such a big team this year. Megan’s capt, not me. I’d never get anything done XD
#170: Don’t they die anyway? MacDuff and Malcom survive. MacBeth doesn’t and Lady Mac committed suicide…I love that play anyway. It was written after they invented blood bags for theatre, so that’s why its such a bloody play.
(Blood bags were sheep bladders filled with wine.)
*hugs to everyone, cos I’m in a good mood*
(234) DX I may have been able to go, but nooo the place is like “LOL AGE LIMIT SRY GUYZ” and I cry tears of blood. Pff. At least he’s in America D: And I WOULD SEE THEM TOO even though I still only have one of their songs.
But I just bought Miyavizm AND MYV☆POPS I’m so happpppyyyyyyyyymskmbsdv.
222 & 233: Wow, this really has been a Frustrating Friday. I hope it gets better for you all this weekend!
My day was actually really weird…half of it was awesome, the other half sucked monkey butt.
Good half (morning)…
) told us to get out. We went outside, b/c there was nothing else to do. Then everyone went to third hour except for Tabby, Crystal, and me.
(Yesterday, Dingo, Tabby and I made plans to play hide-and-seek in the auditorium during second and third hour today)
We went to the auditorium at the beginning of second hour. I found Crystal (Tabby’s little sister) and her BF, and Tabby, Corey, and this random kid came later. Dingo was supposed to show up, but he didn’t.
We turned off all the lights except for the red ones for awhile…then we turned off those and turned on the blue lights. Corey found this bouquet of fake flowers, and put them in the front of his pants.
Tabby and Me: “Let’s de-flower him!” XD
We never had a chance to start playing hide-and seek – After being in there for no more than half an hour, the drama teacher (who also leads the Thespian club…Now she must really hate me.
We ended up finding Dingo…who was high. He’s such a pansy when he’s high…it’s so funny. Last time he was high, we were walking by one of the abstract murals in F building, and he was like “Oh my gosh, it’s moving [pointing at wall]!” We walked by it again today. Me: “Hey Dingo, I think I just saw that red spot over there move.” Dingo: “Huh…It’s slightly pink…Aw, that’s not funny…” XD. I am so mean.
Bad half (afternoon): Last week, Mia and I had made plans to drive to HL (the town we used to live in) today. But her car got sick, so the plans fell through. But she thought she’d have her mom’s van today, so we just decided that we’d go to the mall instead…Well, her mom needed their van today. So, we thought we could just walk downtown after skool, wait until Matt got out of work, and then all three of us would take the bus to the mall. But alas, those plans fell through as well. So I went home and slept for four and a half hours. What a boring Friday.
I liked Macbeth too. It’s not my favorite Shakespeare play, though. I like Macbeth’s character, it’s a very complex character and it’s interesting to analyze.
everybody sign the petition on the musling thing ok!
please it is very important
220-My English teacher made me recite Jabberwocky to the class, forever showing to the world my status as a nerdy geek, and then made me identify the nouns, adjectives, verbs, and so on. Zarquon. Actually, I didn’t mind the prince so much. But I’m sure you know that I’m the best character. Ever. *jk*
229-Just know that when you’re an internationally known rock star, she’ll be kicking herself and you won’t be.
Ech. I’m a little sad. My teacher was mean at piano practice, my SS teacher basically called me a whore, I got in trouble for something I didn’t even do (miserable!), and last night I had to listen to my sister fighting with my parents and throwing a tantrum over not being allowed to go to an afterparty. Recently my mother’s brother died, and she got home late last night and was upset over that, understandably, and then my sister undid all my hard work in distracting her over two hours by throwing a hissy fit. “You’re ruining my life!” And I have been eating too much over the last few days because I’m depressed and upset, so now I’m fat, which makes it worse. In addition to this, Valentine’s Day is coming up, and this is exponentially depressing due to the fact that, to make a long story short, my two friends at school will be spending it with their respective boyfriends, yay for them, I’ll be left eating lunch. Alone.
I also found out that as a captain, non-Boat Captains are expected to call me ‘Sir,’ which is odd because I’m a girl. I kind of like it, though. I’m not a transvestite, but it’s cool to have people call me ‘Captain, sir,’ because it just is. Again, it makes me seem like a neuter, and that’s kind of bad.
I propose we have a MuseBlog party to cheer everyone up.
>>I propose we have a MuseBlog party to cheer everyone up.
Good idea! How do we go about it?
Cartalk pwns. So does iStopMotion.
Yes! We should have a muse party!
I’m actually really nervous right now, because I have a piano lesson in an hour with a new piano teacher, and it’s 1 hour long, and I don’t have anything good to play. So I’m really nervous right now.
At times like that, I find that there’s nothing like a good pie in the face to calm me down.
The Insane Blue sage is back. Fear me
I want to kill my sister. Bleh. She deleted half of my music on itunes and i can’t get it back and i don’t have the albums.
The weather is weird. 2 days ago it was 70 now its 20 bleh.
227-A lot of my friends come to me for advice, especially on relationships, and the thing I end up telling them most often is: be honest. Not just with her, but with yourself. Whatever you do, don’t let your emotions get in the way of your thinking. Ask yourself, how much do you really like this girl? If you guys were to go out, how long would the relationship last? How long can you and her talk on the phone, without it being anything about your half-relationship, or anything like that (that’s important, as it says how strong your friendship is, rather than just how much you like each other)? And keep your feet on the ground when you’re asking these questions. Remember to be honest. Also, I know this because I’ve done it before, not gonna lie: there are some girls who like the idea of a guy liking them, even if they have a boyfriend. It still matters to them what other guys think. Now, that’s either a sign of insecurity or of how much she really likes her bf, but either way, it might not be a good relationship idea. The reason I say this is because she said you guys would be “friends for now”…that usually means that she’s not ready to make a decision. Yes, I know you’re thinking “well, duh!”, but one of the reasons she’s not ready to make a decision is because she likes the idea that you like her, but is not sure if she wants it to be “that serious”…in other words, she might just be stringing you along. Now, I don’t know her, or anything like that (and I also, for the record, have only strung someone along once, and am not proud of it), so take this how you will. But, you asked for advice, and I gave it, and I wish you luck, whatever you choose to do.
GAPA’s, what do you think of the science fiction story?
PARTAY! *brings out the ddr and popcorn*
242: I don’t really know enough about what happened to give you some real advice, but I’m really sorry you had a bad day! Teenage drama sucks monkey butt.
Yeah, we could have a Love Sucks party or something! Does anyone have a virtual heart-shaped pinata we could beat to shreds?
*Brings out some pie to go w/ the popcorn*
(249),
I’m hooked!
Our competition was today. I had to get up at five thirty this morning. I’m still sleepy. But oh my god it was fun! Sarah and I had two events together, Rocks and Minerals and Heredity, and we were completely unprepared, but we think we did pretty well anyway. Then one girl couldn’t come, so I got her events at the last minute – Oceanography and Science Crime Busters. Luckily, I learned a bunch of the oceanography stuff in earth science, but for the crime one, my partner and I were completely clueless. Teresa and I were like, “Okay, let’s put some hydrochloric acid and iodine on this and see what happens…hm, that’s interesting. I think it’s table salt.” xD
And I got to wear my sexy Science Olympiad shirt:
“We’re not pyros
We’re scientists”
(For Math Counts, we decided our motto should be
“We’re not mathematicians
We’re pyros”)
Also, I borrowed my dad’s sweater. I’ve never been able to borrow my dad’s stuff because he’s so much taller than I am so I feel extremely special. xD
252- Are you referring to RRR ‘07.2?
I did science olympiad last year!
We didn’t get any shirts, but oh well. I placed the highest in the naked-egg-drop competition thing. ‘Twas much fun!
253- I am so jealous. I wish I could be in science olympiad. One more year… And I am lol over that motto. Both of them. I wish we got shirts for math team. I mean our own motto shirts, not the grneral state shirts (like the red one I was wearing) everyone gets.
Yes. Party for us’ns. Hugs and candy all around!
@Axa- ZOMG ITASAKU LAWLZ. XDDDDDDD (Yes, I did read some. Yes, it was hilarious.) Boarding school FTW!
@FS’s relationship problems- I was actually in a similar situation at the beginning of the year, where I liked a guy with a girlfriend (a lot) and he liked me. What worked for me, at least, was sort of a ‘let’s just be friends’ attitude, but that sounds like it might not be the best option in your case. (By the way, this guy and I are still friends and it’s less awkward than you may think.) I agree with Shadowkat: be honest both with this girl and yourself about how you feel. Starting off as friends may work out better, because it means you’ll get to see her and talk to her more often and have a better chance of figuring something out, whatever that something may be. I do disagree with Shadowkat on one point: if she’s admitted she likes you, I don’t think she’s stringing you along. If she were, she’d probably dance around with the idea that possibly there’s some mutual attraction going on here, and/or use her boyfriend as a shield. From what you’ve told us, she’s doing neither.
I had an orchestra concert today and I wish I had a soundfile of it because we sounded AWESOME. Totally worth practicing.
My issue of Shojo Beat came and I was quite annoyed at their insistence on spelling Malice Mizer two “a”s. And saying L’Arc~en~Ciel was visual kei. BECAUSE THEY AREN’T AND NEVER WERE. D: Okay long hair is not equal to visual kei, get some brainz for that head of yours.
To avoid personal problems: Live outside of reality. It’s not denial, it’s fun! -pets unicorn-
Yeah, we ordered our own shirts last year. I’m going to do middle school science olympiad again next year, I think, cause I love the coach so much. xD
I got a Chuck Norris Facts widget.
“When Chuck Norris goes swimming, Chuck Norris doesn’t get wet. The water gets Chuck Norris.”
If Chuck Norris got in a fight with himself, he would win.
258- I live in my own little world too. All my friends are there, whether really in life or my imagination remembers and recreates them, and all the trees have square roots, and the flying meese and unicorns coexist with the bright blue buffaloe. All of winter is 2 hour delays and snow days at convenient times, and my time isn’t arranged so I spend the hottest week of the summer at non-air-conditioned camp without museblog. Frankly, thoughts and fantasies of emails from friends and of my new less-than-a-week MB obsession got me through camp. I don’t think it’s worth it to go back this year. Anyway, off my tangent. Also, I can stop time for the MB so I get enough sleep and stay caught up on threads. And I have all my friends’ emails, and they check them, and the guy I kind of guess I like feels the same way (or at least I can get “best friends” after a year when all Geoffrey’s little sister has to do is be small and cute and walk up to him for that *bitterness*), and we all stand around in the hyper saturated colorful world talking. At school, I am getting above an 80 in tech at least, and I have a fun italian class, and I’m not missing one day a week in February for field trips, and I know what’s going on, and I’m basically omnipotent but without all that responsibility, and school is challenging but not hard and it’s interesting, and people actually recognize the music I listen to, like TMBG and Tom Lehrer, at school, and I can take electronics to school without worrying that they’ll be stolen and thus not bringing them. My life is less-than-perfect, can you tell?
I’m pathetic to have such a detailed little world and to tell you about it.
Chuck Norris started the Great Pie War.
258 (Axa)- How does spelling Malice Mizer with two a’s even work? Maalice Maaizer? That sounds like a sheep.
262 (c&q)- Can I hide in a little corner of your world and sleep if I am very good?
Well, I think we’re waiting for either her current relationship with this guy to end, or for the tension between us to reach a certain point. As for our compatibility, it’s great. We can talk for hours about anything from music (she’s one of the few metal girls) to literature (we both love Shakespeare).
263-*nods* Yup.
265-Do you listen to yourself? This is getting a bit too Wodehousian for me…
Does anyone else like Public Image Ltd.?
Happy 42nd day of the year, everyone!
Did you know today is also National Inventors Day, celebrated on the birthday of Laszlo Biro, inventor of the ballpoint pen?
Oops, sorry. Wrong person. Just wikipedia’d my facts and found out I mixed up Argentinian inventors day with ours. It is today but it celebrates Edison’s Birthday, not Biro’s.
*waves* Guess who’s stopped lurking and has finally decided to post? SM!
[aka, Capt. Obvious.]
Happy 42nd day of the year. So how’s life, all?
Mine is strange indeed.
Tomorrow starts the PSSA testing. In writing. Piece of cake. If you don’t score proficient or advanced, you don’t graduate. I’m not worried. About the PSSAs, anyway. About the fact that they’re during my AP chem class…..*SHC*
I went bowling with a friend of mine yesterday…that guy I’ve been hanging out with. He killed me. Then again, I was expecting that. You don’t want to see me bowl. Then we got food, went to Wal-Mart [where we made fun of the movie selection] and then the mall [where we went in Waldenbooks and put the “Bibles” sign into the fiction section]. Then the weirdness begins.
Okay, background:
We talk pretty much all the time online, but, like, almost never in person. Because we’re both very geeky and awkward. And we make jokes about how weird it would be if we were dating. We also have hung out one-on-one a few times. Which is always awkward and….awkward. He’s referring to such events as “go out and do something days/nights.” Mehhhhh.
So anyway, on the way home, he’s like “Semi-awkward question: would you mind if I tried for a hug when we get to your place?” To make a long story short, yeah, I hugged him. I’m not a very huggy person.
So then SM gets a really stupid idea. She already knows that she’ll be watching Labyrinth [BOWIE!] and was going to do so yesterday, because she’d be alone to do so and no one would have to put up with her Bowie-fangirl-ness. But she never got around to it. And was going to watch it yesterday, when, unfortunately, her entire family was home.
Back to the stupid idea part. She feels bad for this guy because its -53484 outside and is like “Uhh…do you want to come inside or something?” Unfortunately, he does. Then SM’s mom tells him to stay and watch the movie. So he does. And if you’ve ever seen it…
Bowie [♥ ♥ ♥] plus muppets, basically. Directed by Lucas, screenplay by Terry Jones. ‘Nuff said. SM has weird taste in movies.
And it was more awkward. Joy.
So the movie ended with me laughing hysterically and everyone else making the o_O face. And everyone starts talking. He stayed for another hour after the bloody thing ended.
My family is very weird. And likes telling embarrass-SM stories. Take it from that.
*SHC times 9843836861*
Well, now that I’ve managed to permanently weird him out…
Uhh. What else?
I made a pink duct tape wallet. NEON pink. Not sure if I’m really a neon pink person, but whatever. Actually, I made two, but the first was a prototype and it didn’t come out very well.
Hence.
I count it as one.
I got a 99 on my Eeengleesh writing assignment. Why? because I inadvertently wrote asses instead of assess. I thought it was funny. Actually, I didn’t know until the girl sitting behind me told me that that was what I had written. Then we laughed. Whoops. I can just see my teacher’s face when she was grading that….
And I visited my awesome Spanish teacher the other day this week! Yay fun! I miss that class.
SM also loooooooooooves art class. It’s so fun. Art, and the cool people in it. YAY. One of my table-friends is also a H2G2 fan. And a Bowie fan. So it kinda pwns. Hard. And SM loves art itself…so…
And she’s been going on an art spree lately. Still need to get out that scanner. Am painting a really cool design on a tote bag. Yay, fabric paints. I love mine to death.
I implore you, please don’t think to hard about the fact that SM is talking half in third and half in first person.
I also love David Bowie to death. xDxD
Oh, I also meant to ask: anyone have any tips on meditation? I’ve been getting into it this year, but have a horribly short attention span. Also not much time. Thank you.
FS-Well, then, it sounds like you guys could have a good, long-lasting relationship, if you choose to make it so. It also sounds like you’re doing the right thing. Sometimes it is best to just give it some time, wait it out, and see what happens. It’s good that you have so much in common.
if we’re talking about relationships…
okay, so my very very best friend from kung-fu, Elizabeth, really likes this guy Alex, who also likes her but is too shy. and she made him a valentine for the 14th, and she’s going to ask him to their valentine’s day dance, but i thought it would be bad if she gave him a card and he didn’t give her one, because even though he likes her that’s not exactly the way guys think, you know? so i stole his phone number from her sister katie, and called him! gah! and i almost ruined it from the start because his mom picked up and asked “may i tell him who’s calling?” and i was like “um……. um……. tell him its elizabeth” so he was totally freaked out because i don’t know him or anything, i didn’t even tell him my name, just said “elizabeth’s friend from kung-fu who doesn’t go to your skool” and then i asked him if he liked her and he just said “well she’s my good friend” and all that but i kept pestering him and he finally said yes, so i told him to make her a valentine and ask her to the dance. and he was still totally freaked out and such. and then i finished by telling him “remember… we’re both black belts.” and then i called elizabeth becuase even though she didn’t know i’d called him before this i had to tell her what he said. and then she got all happy-giggly-squealy and i felt so nice, like you know, a modern day St. Valentine bringing people together… so anyway if things go well with them on monday then our other kung-fu friend Sydney will call him too and remind him to make her a valentine and such… this is so freaky!
I officially request a new Hot Topics thread.
I humbly and officially request both a new coy woodness and a new p&s thread.
Yay for the forty-second day!
269 ~ I fail at bowling too but it’s still really fun.
I did that asses/assess thing on my DARE essay in fifth grade. Luckily my dad caught it before I handed it in. xD But every week in English class we have a spelling list and we have to write a story/paragraph with the words, and the teacher grades them, but they go in the grade book as 100 anyway. I’m a fairly good writer (the first to admit I’m not awesome, though) but not once have I actually gotten 100! There’s always at least one little thing, like an extra comma, or I put the words in the wrong order, so my grades range from 95-100 for the most part.
272 ~ Nice!
Have you ever seen Clueless or Emma? (Two different movies based on Jane Austen’s Emma.)
270: meditation…. hmm. i got into that for a while. in kung-fu we do it at the end of every class.
basically you start with your feet together and your hands down in front of you, with your dominant hand on top -left for me- and your palms facing up. then, breathe in and bring your arms up at your sides so they kind of make a circle, then touch your fingertips over your head. you rise up onto your toes when you go up. then come back down the same way, til your hands are in front again. when you go down, bend your knees. repeat. breathe in through your nose on the way up, and out coming down. when you are sufficently calm, you finish by bringing your hands up through your center, breathing in, until they get up about to your chest. then you turn them palm-down and push them down, stepping apart into a feet-shoulder-width stance as you breathe out forcefully. this concentrates your energy into your center, then lets it out into the ground.
which is good.
269-oh man…labarynth. you do have odd tastes in movies. But that’s ok, so do i
homecoming dramaness, wewt. Sydney came back for it! that was kewl. MC Hewwit, peter the freshie, josh peters, bill, phil, hunter and i played go fish and crazy eights with the cards danny brought. josh peters had these sweet flashlight/laser pointer/magnet things. he’s selling them and i’m totally buying one. he said he was the random red dot at the assembly a few days ago. it’s great because you can be like “no, it’s a flashlight, look!” anyway, then we stood around and watched people inhale helium. josh started it, but he only did like 2. Peter the freshie went crazy with them. later he’s like “well, i think i’m finally off balloons. Namely because i can’t find any more.” i didn’t try it, but i did steal one of the little weight things. we unwrapped one but it was just concrete. the wrapping was really shiny though. I named it fred. I felt slightly bad for cheating on the wall (who was my lover for the first part of the dance) but then matt started stroking it and saying they were together now. So i screamed at the wall a bit (How could you do this to me?! I thought you loved me!) and then just danced with fred instead. You know you’re cool when you go into homecoming and come out with a bf who’s also a pet rock. monica is still determined to “girlify” me, and demanded a shorter skirt for next time. Tory was overdramatic, as usual, and apparently likes matt again. but mc likes lizzy anyway, and if he went out with tory again she’d just leave him for jacob again. Oh, dan’s friend lexii made a pic of jacob with hamsters for eyebrows. XD it was hilarious. I named them bob and fred (i like the name fred) so all night courtney and dan and i were like “hi bob! hi fred! hi jacob!” ck and dan and i went to chipotle before the dance, because chipotle is sweet like that. ’twas good.
oh yeah, and bill and i went up to chappelle and did the charlie the unicorn thing and he was extremely confused. and danny and i sang the hitler rap and josh contemplated bringing a DDR set and putting it right in the middle of the dance floor, which i thought was a spiffy idea, and bill was mad because they didn’t play the time warp, and everybody kept telling matt to dance so he did and then everybody kept telling him to stop. XD
That rant should really be on the “geeks” thread, shouldn’t it? I love being a geek and having geeky friends…it makes life amusing.
272- Ah dang you black belts and your threatening ways… Im only a yellow belt m’self
Eugh Valentines day in 3 days
As Charlie Brown would say…
What does Charlie Brown say on Valentines anyway?
I second 273’s request.
270- maybe if you listened to music while you were meditating…
alrighty, since everyone is talking about their relationship problems…
well, there’s this kid named Justin. he goes to my church, youth group, and is in my ski lesson. he’s my age too. he’s really funny, we both have the same sense of humor and we like getting even with each other. (REVENGE!!!! lol) anyways, it was about the third ski lesson that i’d had and we were on the ski lift. so then our instructor, mike (who is a complete daredevil, I must say), says, “Justin, don’t you want to tell her (meaning me) what you told me last lesson?” he’s just like, “huh?” and then mike said, “you told me that you liked her!” and the whole time i’m just sitting there really quiet like. then, Justin said that he had a girlfriend already. and i’m just sitting there still all quiet like. then we got off the ski lift and continued on our way as if nothing had happened. we were still talking and such. but after that, whenever i saw him at youth group, he wouldn’t talk to me. and i got really sad because he was my friend *imagine that I said friend in the Tweety voice*… then, this weekend, we went to a youth retreat (AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). again, wouldn’t talk that much. but then, i started talking to him and he warmed up to me (you know that’s an expression. an EXPRESSION) and started talking. so then, we were sledding (yesterday) and then we were standing there. he turned around to look at the boys that were playing football and i picked up snow (we were in the mountains) and put it down his shirt/jacket. then we had a snow war (throwing chunks of snow at each other and such. fun fun fun. then we shoved snow down our pastor’s back. hehe… not the smartest idea we’ve ever had… he chased us… okay so he chased Justin. i hid behind my friend rachel. anyways, then we were laughing and talking for the rest of the time that he stayed outside. then he went in and i went down to the frozen (yes frozen! YAY!!!) lake with Rachel. then we went in to check on my friend Marisa who was sleeping (how she was still sleeping at 1pm in the afternoon, i don’t know). then rachel took a nap and i tried ice skating in ice hockey skates. not fun. the ice was really really bumpy. neh. anyways, then it was around 4pm and Marisa, Rachel, and I went outside again to go snow tubing down the hill. however, we had to demolish the humongous jumps because like 5 people had gotten hurt earlier. anyways, Justin and some other kid go down to demolish the jumps. they’re almost done but they’re arguing and stuff so I go down there with Brittany (who i think is Justin’s sister) to “help”. basically i stood there for a few moments until Justin (who had a shovel) used the shovel to dump snow on me. Then I kicked him really hard in the leg and then (revenge part… we both like revenge… hehe…) he was like, “you’re gonna get it now!” and i laughed because he’s kinda short so… but then i was standing and he tried to tackle me (didn’t work) so he grabbed my ankles and i fell down being the coordinated person that I am. then we started wrestling on the ground until i threatened to bite him. then he got off. so then the jumps were demolished and we were going down on the tubes which was really really fun. then my friend rachel went down and hurt herself (how, i don’t know) so i went down and we helped her up the hill. then i raced back to get her gloves lying on the ground and walked up with Justin who was carrying an inner tube and the other kid whose name i can’t remember. then the other kid is like “i’m going to go down a last time even if i only have to go halfway.” and Justin said, “so am I.” then I say “okay, don’t die!” (me being the supportive person I am). then the other kid goes down and Justin’s like “sucker!” and runs up the hill with me. we dumped the inner tubes in front of the cabin that they were normally in and left them for the other kid to get. (nice people that we are) and we then raced up to rachel and gave her the gloves. soooo (yes i know, i can hear you guys complaining… get over it) later rachel steals Justin’s hat (no wait, i think this was before the tubing… yes, actually it was. oh well.) and they get a wrestling match on the ground. it was really funny. i was laughing really hard because rachel was trying to dump snow down Justin’s shirt at the same time. anyways to cut things short, i saw him today in church and he kept looking at me. like the short sneaky glances. and here’s my stupid problem. i think i like him now. but he said he had a girlfriend! and i like him. i’m an idiot. IDIOT. someone slap me… i need a hug… i’m really really stupid…
okay, i’m gonna go now. byes! i have to eat dinner… be back later!
i just saw peter pan (the musical) and a lot of the actors when they flew they got messed up and thier feet got stuck in the strings (while flipping upsidedown) or they swung offstage aand in the wrong direction
also the fire alarm went off in the middle of it because of the smoke from the smoke machine.
overall it was pretty good
Why are we talking about relationships? ah well…. Don’t have a boyfriend don’t plan to for a year or so, but that’s proving harder than it sounds cuz’ I look 2-3 years older than I am. ( I’m barely 12 but People usually think I’m 14 or 15. freakyness).
I should be doing homework now…. *wanders off*
(264) I don’t even know. They spelled it “Malace Mizer” three times in a row. I’m not even a FAN of theirs and I knew. Argh.
Darn you people and your social lives that you have!!!1 I’m actually not concerned at all about Valentine’s Day. I’ll probably just watch Pride and Prejudice and cry a little bit inside. Or Kagen no Tsuki. That sounds good.
Hiroki=♥Maybe a thread for our thrilling personal lives should be made in honor of Valentine’s. Or something.
283 – where did you see it (was it professional or done by a school). My school did the musical Peter Pan last year…I was Peter Pan! *smiles*
I definitely think we need a new Poems&Songs thread…or at least get people to go to the old one. Because it is dying.
285-That’s what I suggested. Great minds think alike, eh?
285: you mean bare our souls to strange people on the internet we have never met and whom we probably wont ever meet?
*thinks*
Okay.
vampire: :-)=
264- Of course! I’m currently in the midst of a general celebration for the five victories I and various teams I am on have accumulated over the past two weeks. Any and all MBers are welcome. If they choose to enter my mind and risk loss of sanity. Just pretend you’re here and you will be.
285-Sure. I will now complain online to many instead of just to Potato Chip. I just really really for once hope that nobody else I know is on MB. Usually I wish they were so we could talk about it, but if they knew what I thought… *embarrassing*
Hey gapas, I have a random question: At the bottom of the page, where it says copyright 2007, did you have to change that manually? Or was it automatic? Did you even notice? And is it really copyrighted?
I have no social life. Whatsoever. And i can’t say i really want one.
*is sad* no one listens to me and my rants! *goes off and cries in a little corner*
285 ~ I don’t have much of a social life either. And the part of my social life involving boys is nonexistent. I’m sure I could find plenty to complain about (mostly involving the previous sentence) in a personal life thread and spare you the exasperation of having to filter through it here… xD
So yeah, I’ll probably enjoy Valentine’s day as a normal day and sulk inwardly a little.
Actually the spelling bee is that day.
I totally forgot about the spelling bee. o.o
I hope no one really good is in it so it won’t matter that I forgot to study…
I have sort of a social life at school…with other geeks, etc. But they aren’t real geeks…they are just nice to me and stuff. So I consider them really good friends in school, but outside of school I don’t really have any friends..my social life is here
i don’t have a social life, per se. just with geeks. my “relationship issues” consist of trying to convince everybody that andy and i don’t like each other (weckstein started that i think) In eighth grade, it was trying to convince everybody that alex and i didn’t like each other. what is it with me and people automatically wanting to pair me up?
anyway, my friends are dramatic enough for even the most inane of soap operas. i don’t feel the need to add by liking random guys because i’m bored. XD
288-you’d rather bare your soul to people you know in person and will have to meet awkwardly every day of your life?
297: good point. We cant blackmail each other.
(287) XD Then I second it!
(288)…OR DO I? hurhurhurhur I’ve gots me a LiveJournal so it has ceased to matter. Though I lock a lot of my stuff. -stares into space-
My thrilling personal life consists of hanging around at nerd-school with fellow nerds. And talking on AIM with everybody back at my home school. And Museblog. And a pathological attraction to guys with girlfriends.

Sooooo I’m 6000 days old on Feb.20? That makes life all happy and better.
Yesterday I went to Jim Thorpe with a friend. That place is far off but fun. We got Chinese food with place mats that had TYPOs. So we folded them up and took them. Because everyone wants a typo-ed Chinese zodiac place mats. Durrh. xD
PSSAs today. Suckage.
On the brighter side, I brought my math average up by a point and got highest honours. w00t. And my best grade? 98 in Gov’t. I only went to that class about once a week.
Am trying to convince my mother to let me do this cool thing called LARPing. I want to so bad. In costume. Aaaaah, it would pwn hard. But it’s over a weekend in this woodsy park by us and she thinks I’m going to be like eaten by a bear or something… Only about 20-30 show, but smaller groups are better. I’d have funnnnnnn.
Not sure what race to be. I said I would try being…well, basically, a snake/human, but their species pretty much contradicts my personality, so it would be rather difficult. Meh. Because I was between that and the bird/people [hmm, feathers vs scales…] and this person I was talking to who did it a few times suggested that, because there aren’t any at the moment. So I was like okay, I guess? I dunno if I can deal with only three fingers…….gloves………ack.
Anyways, math hw.
Okay, I’ll pass.
Mehhhh.
Yeah, can’t bring myself to do math, probably not a good idea. Wonder what I got on Friday’s test…
I’d better get out of the view of the window. Meh, class.
Mondyays at school are FUN. Not.
296 – Okay, I’m not in a situruation like that, but my freind is. There’s this guy she used to be freinds with and still is but he now likes her, and the entire school knows. She wants to stay “just freinds” with him, but that isn’t working out. At dances she never says no when he asks her to dance, and everbody thinks that they’re going out. She says that she doesn’t like him, but I’m not sure. As her BFF, we have talked about how to fix that. I said that I should give her a picture of this one guy I’ve met to hang up in her locker and pretends it’s her boyfreind. She doesn’t want to offend the guy who likes her, so I’m guessing that he’ll eventually try to ask her out (for like, the I-do’t-know-how-many-enth time) and he’s going to be heartbroken anyways.
If she wasn’t originally freinds with this dude, things would be a whole lot simpler. And I didn’t want to get involved with this, but she’s my bestest buddy! 
So yeah, I feel bad. Oh well.
Oh well, maybe somebody I actually like will do that this year, however unlikely it seems.
303 – Haha! I was sick today, so I didn’t have to go to school! Yay!
294 – Lucky. I’ll probably have some really annoying person give me somthing and ask me out and I’ll either say no and make them feel really bad or say yes and make them feel really bad later. Blah.
284 – Yeah. People either say I look seventeen because of my poise or ten because of my height. *pouts* But the first things kindof nice cuz older guys are asking me which highschool I go to, and I’m not in highschool yet.
295 – I consider pretty much everyone here on MB as a freind. I have friends from school, from extracirricular activities, and from the states I used to live in. Social life and nerdom life do not always mix, so I am having a hard time keeping up with all mi amigas and still being awesomely nerdy. Oh well, both of them are a ton of fun.
Am I the only one who has today off, then? O_o And next Monday…
..my foot hurts. I think I stepped on something and it’s twitching involuntarily owowowowowowowowow.
(303) Whatever that LARP thing is, it sounds interesting.Go for it,etc.
Penty: Here’s a jug/hug.
QueenieJ: Here is some vertual chocolate!
Axa: Maybe it fell asleep. Or of course you could have always stepped on a poisonous dart, whereas you’ll only have afew more minutes to live.
A Party? WOW! Though knowing me I probubly missed it.
Now, I must say something about some of the language I’ve been seeing. Remember, bad language is BAD!
I am at school. Inference test. Bleurgh. Well, at least I’m done. Someone has chicken pox in my grade. Dunno why the teachers “aren’t allowed to tell” us who has it. Rawther steupid in my opinion. What, if we know who has it we get it too? It’s like when we have lice tests, nobody’s allowed to know the results of other people’s tests. Paranoid education system. *sticks tongue out* Er… I’ve always wanted to have a REALLY REALLY long post, like SM or somthing. But I don’t have enough to say! I just finished The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray, by Chris Woodings, the same guy who wrote Storm Theif, which pwnz. I’ve also just discovered the wonderful talent of clear tape to turn any piece of paper into a dry-erase surface. Awesome, dude. Have play rehearsal today. EEEEEEEK. *goes over lines in head fanatically* Yeah. I don’t even know what we’re doing today…. RUN AWAY!!!!!! j/k. If I really ran away from a rehearsal, I would be kicked out of the play. I can’t even get sick, because I’d miss a rehearsal! I really really REALLY REALLY REALLY hope I don’t get chicken pox. Because that certainly would not be good.
306-*with mouth full* Mmm. Thank you.
307-You haven’t had it yet? Lucky. *jealous*
I have new LUSH stuff. Yessss. The Chicago shops are fed by the Toronto factory, so I was afraid it wouldn’t be that good, but it turns out it’s a fully-loaded store. With no STROKES hair mask. I’m upset…but I got more Herbalism and Cupcake, as well as Karma, Sexy Four and Cynthia Sylvia Stout-Jungle, so that’s allright.
302-Lol…you would say that.
305 ~ I have next Monday off. And hopefully Wednesday if it snows like they’re saying.
i have thursday and friday and next monday off… yay for a five day weekend!
We might get tomorrow off, it’s supposed to snow a lot.

Erp! Sorry for the doublepost.
I have Friday and Monday off. Plesae Wednesday for snow too!!!
In band we had a sub. We did a worksheet on Asian music. There was a pentatonic scale and I kept feeling like I was spelling it wrong. I spent the remainder of the time drawing HPB-ish shapes on my black band binder with white-out, then coloring them with my pink highlighter. Brian said they looked like bloated clothespins. Mark said they looked either like bunnies or like a fat peace sign with the two fingers held up. Robert said they looked like bunnies. I didn’t see anyone else I knew between band and Italian. There’s a reason I took earth science instead of art. I’m thinking of printing some.
GOING WAY BACK in the thread…
wow, everybody listens to the same bad radio station.
If you’re sane, you’ll listen to a different local station… that plays better music… like me.
Friday and monday for us. no idea why. oh and i think tomorow’s a late day but i’m not sure.
bill and i have decided to apply KoL/Charlie the Unicorn/random comic strip characters to all the teachers. For featherstone we couldn’t decide bugbear or liopleurodan (MAGICAL). I asked him, but he didn’t know what either of those were. then bill looked up the wiki articles and we decided on the magical liopluridan because they swim and he tried to swim across the amazon or something once. that was an interesting story. anyway. we sort of tenatively decided chappelle was a baby gravy fairy. that’s as far as we’ve gotten. we contemplated messerly, but don’t really have anything for her yet.
re-read muse again yestiddy. spiffylicious. XD
friday is teacher conferences, methinkz.
er… I think it’s time for a part two…
I showed my english teacher Muse today, and she said that maybe the school could replace the stupid Scope magazines that we get with Muse!!! SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ack. I still have my stupid relationship problems. *goes off and cries in a corner* neh.
Snow day today! Squee!!!!!
320 (Kricket) – that’s great! Your school will be enlightened!
319 (Kiki) – I agree, we do need part 2 now.
I got a snow-day today today, too! It is snowing pretty hard where I live.
Up by me, a bunch of districts are having Mid-Winter Break, or something like that, when they just got back from Christmas Break about 3 weeks ago…I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but my schooled friends are all rejoicing, when they’re just going to have to make up for the lost days in June.
Oh, GAPA’s! I’m sorry, I forgot to tell anyone, but my brother (The Tominator)’s birthday is today, and it might be too late to do anything, but, well…he’ll be 11 at 3:08pm…*sigh*…I’m in for it, now. Anyway, I don’t know the color, but I’ll ask him and post later.
Snow day today too! First snow day that I’ve EVER had. Seriously.
If I went to any other school anywhere other than Chicagoland, I would have a snow day. We have wind like heck and snow that is probably a foot deep in places and we have school. Where is the logic in this?
Also, isn’t about time we had a Part 2?
