First post?….
Anyways,
KOKO ADDICTED?
Kokopelli was spotted yesterday by a river shooting random banapple berry pies at a nearby bridge. We are yet to decide whether this was an act of anger, or our dear Koko can not go a day without throwing pies.
In other news, Musecasts one and two where released recently, and the musebloggers are listening excessivley.

NEWZ FLASHEZ! Ebeth is procrastinating. Ebeth is slightly bored. Ebeth thinks even the bball game would have been better than sitting around. Ebeth wonders if there is jazz band. Ebeth thinks probably not, but she feels like going anyway. But she doesn’t want to go and find out there is none. Which there probably is. None, i mean. Ebeth is hungry. Ebeth is getting food. Yay for Ebeth.

MUSEFLASH – Purple Panda has a 2-hour delay. Sadly, unlike yesterday and the day before, this 2-hour delay will not be turned into a cold day. Purple Panda was enjoying the 4-day weekend, and hoping it would turn into a 5-day weekend. But, alas, it didn’t.

MUSEFLASH:
Visala gets another week to analyse an Akhmatova poem, cos there wasn’t any time to present it at the end of class, mostly thanks to Kelsey, Maddy and Andrew. Which not only puts off her speech, but it also gives her time to THINK about this poem and do a slightly better job than she did at 11:00 last night.
Visala is also worried that her friend might cast her as the star in her Animal Farm musical. She frets. She is chewing off her own hand in her worry.
Visala had a completely pointless day. Does that count as a worthy Museflash?
Visala frets some more cos the person she is writing a play with has screwed-up internet. “Damn,” Visala thinks.
Visala hates talking in the third person. “Grr,” she says.
Visala used the aspirin she bought at the vending machine today. WOAH!! She did not buy coffee. HOLY POOSH!
Visala is currently obsessed with the songs “Magic Bus, “Pinball Wizard”, “Magic Carpet Ride”, “Houses of the Holy” and “Vertigo.”
Visala’s hero left her a happy birthday comment on the Satanic MySpace. It has given Visala’s life a little more meaning.
Visala’s entire English Class of Undying Love and Fear sang “Happy Birthday” to her today and she DIDN’T TURN RED!!
Visala said something laughter-inducing in her sixth hour for the first ever. She feels smug and happy.
Visala has somehow convinced herself that these things are interesting. Talk about delusion.

museflash- there’s been like three inches total snowfall this winter, one two hour delay that would’ve been nothing in a normal winter, and below-freezing wind chill all week. But no cancellations.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Except me. Once I said that in social studies, and now my teacher associates me with it and I don’t not expect him mentioning it anymore or hearing it in school.

MUSEFLASH – Purple Panda did not have a 2-hour delay today. Purple Panda did not have the day off either. Purple Panda had the regular-get-up-at-the-crack-of-dawn-and-go-to-school-for-nine-hours school day. That made Purple Panda very sad because she was getting used to the non-school fun.
Purple Panda loves talking in third person!!

Museflash: Purple Panda has started reading Philosophy. For fun. Her “friends” think she is insane. Purple Panda knows she is not insane. At least, Purple Panda does not think she is insane. Purple Panda thinks Philosophy is interesting, therefore she could not be insane. Purple Panda is using way too many words that start with P, and is confusing herself!

Otzi is angry. Otzi is angry because she is not on the lacrosse team. Because, the coordinator did a lottery system, and though Otzi has played on the team for 2 whole years, she was not selected, as were several other veteran team members. Otzi’s high school of choice does not offer LaX, and so Otzi is unlikely to get a chance to play next year. At Otzi’s school, LaX is a hardcore sport. Several of Otzi’s friends who are similarly veterans- and, like Otzi, LIVE for laX, didn’t make the team, which is now composed mainly of noobs who don’t know how to hold a stick the right way up. Besides, they have next year, and, hello, Otzi and her fellow veterans are going to HIGH SCHOOL. They can play next year. We cant.

I think that censorship is bad, and seriously, people wouldn’t notice curse words if other people didn’t go “OMG HE SAID ___ GAPAS BAN HIM OMG MY INNOCENT MIND IS FOREVER SCARRED OMGOMGOMG” every time someone used one. Seriously. This isn’t that big of a deal. And anyway, that gets into the issue of “what is a curse word”. Do words in other languages count? British curse words? Words that sound bad that aren’t? Hey, since someone might get upset by them, how about the GAPAs start censoring posts that contain anything that someone might disagree with? Or posts about other religions? Hey, it might expose the younguns to different points of views, which is _bad_…. We don’t want openmindedness and diversity here, oh no..
And anyway if they watch TV they probably know pretty much anything you can say already.

(43) I think that once in a while is fin or whatever, but recurrent use of language is not because:
-this site is linked to from musefanpage.com, which is referenced in Muse itself as far as I know. I’m fourteen and so used to language; it doesn’t affect me but I think it’s out of place here.
I agree with you on censorship. Messages should not be omitted etc. People should just tone down. Yeah.

43-bugger has a pretty bad meaning, but a lot of people don’t even really consider it a swear word. it’s all how you look at it. I personally don’t care if you swear. It’s just another word. But i can see how people could be offended, and i don’t swear often for that reason.
Ebeth’s homecoming is tonight. She might go out to dinner w/ck and weisman because she’s giving them rides, but everybody’s extremely indecisive.
She finally got the bridge in KoL. Happy day.
She freaked out her science teacher. “Messerly! Messsserly! We’re on a bridge, messerly!” She and bill are planning to do the same to featherstone when we next see him.
Funny thing-featherstone must think we’re all REALLY messed in the head. He always comes in at the worst moments of a conversation. (Ok, we are messed in the head, and most of our conversations are the worst moments. But still) So i was talking to bill…
Bill: Yeah, i was telling my mom how we kept inadvertently traumatizing featherstone…
Me: haha
Me: he always comes in at the wrong time
Me: What did she say?
Bill: yeah
Bill: she’s like “that’s so mean! he’s like a puppy!”
Me: HAHAHAHA
Me: that is so true
Bill: Yeah, that’s what i said
Anyway. That’s my life. Freaking out teachers, doing the time warp again, and spending an inordinate amount of time online. XD

I’m worried about one of my friends. I know she cut herself once and got help, but yesterday we had art class, and as she tilted her brush to paint, I saw the inside of her arm. Covered with fresh cuts. I asked her what happened (even though I already knew) and she said “grumph” and quickly pulled her sleeve down. Lots of her other friends either carefully avoid looking at her arms or say “I cant believe she’s so depressed. What has SHE got to be depressed about?” Well, I dont see much either- her mom is remarrying this extremely nice German man and his tolerable kids. As stepparents go, he’s probably going to be a pretty good one. I mean, he paid for a bunch of us to all go rock climbing, and he walked a long way through a blizzard to pick my friend up from school when his car spun out. But that really doesnt matter- whether or not she has a reason to be depressed, it’s obvious that she is. Some of us are more resilient than others. I’ve emailed her mom, so if she didn’t know about the cutting, she does now. My friend will be extremely angry with me for “telling”, but I hope she will eventually understand.

45- I think I agree with you. Like, once in a while you’re really angry, and you half-block a word with asterisks, but the context clues make it clear, and that’s ok, and if you forget asterisks, the GAPAs can add that, but taking out large parts of a post, whole sentences, because of it is bad. Except in extreme cases.
0
0
(47) A couple things to point out:
One: It’s good you recognize that it doesn’t matter why; she needs help, and it’s important you help her get it, as a friend.
Two: Just because he’s nice doesn’t mean she’s okay with it. I don’t know her story, but she could be bitter about it, or uncomfortable with it, etc.
Three: Who’s to say it’s necessarily the marriage that bothers her? Most thing that are upsetting people tend to keep to themselves and I am extremely put off by the fact her “friends” wonder what she has to be depressed about. You don’t have to be in a bad home situation to be depressed.
And most important: Act on this now. Tell her parents or a teacher A girl at my school killed herself last year, and her friends heard her talking about suicide but did nothing, and everyone suffered for it. Cutting leads to other things. Don’t let it.

(47) That is really horrible. I think that you did the right thing, telling her mom and everyting. She will thank you in the end. Good Luck.

(47) Ahhh I missed the part at the end, good for you! That’s really an excellent thing of you to do, I’m so glad you did.
and on the topic of censorship, whenever I try to express myself with questionable verbal choices, it gets cut.

I (contrary to what I said earlier) think the GAPAs do a good job of censoring this stuff. They know when too much is too much. I never swear, and don’t like it when other people do, but I think cutting them all out would be unfair censorship. Plus, I imagine it’s probably more work for the GAPAs.

Wow, fridge. Of course, Swiss teens never cut themselves. Tell me, do you take classes in insensitivity? Depression is a disease. I’ve had it, and it’s pretty much (Speaking of censorship…-Admin). Would you say the same thing if I said I was worried about a friend because they had cancer?

If enough posts are being deleted because people keep swearing, people should just cool their jets. As far as i’m concerned, there is rarely a good reason to swear. I mean, sometimes, the situation permisses it. But under normal circumstances, swearing just makes people sound crude and unintelligent. I, personally, don’t mind a whole lot when people swear. I’ve become rather numb to it. But what reason is there to offend people unnecessarily? So i don’t break my own rule, does anyone consider the word “crap” to be a swear word?

GREAT job Otzi! You did the right thing by telling. Your friend needs help if she’s cutting herself. And if her mom knew about it already and hadn’t done anything about it then… I probably shouldn’t state what exactly what was going through my head (the exact words, I mean) but… yeah. Anways, I shall keep your friend in my prayers. (yes yes, it’s amazing I’ve been like… rejuivinated! I went to a youth retreat and it was just awesome. I seriously was just amazing.)

47- I’m here for you. You definately did the right thing. Depresion is horrible and your friend needs all the help and support she can get. Hugs!
52- well you’re a supportive fellow mber. /sarcasm. You know, I consider you and all other mbers a friend and friends to each other and supporting each other is a big part in that. Even though you opinions may be elsewhere, the least you can do is support her during her hard time. It’s incredibly hard to go through this and I’m sure your commentary isn’t helping. Sometimes it’s better to keep your opinions to yourself and either say nothing or be supportive.

seriously though, they need help. otzi, you definitely did the right thing.

63- yeah, it is hard; I was in a similar situation at the beginning of the year when only I knew my friend was hurting herself, and I had to figure out what I should do (I ended up giving her a deadline to tell her parents before I told myself; it worked, and she started getting treatment and is a lot better now, but I _agonized_ over what to do)..

65- I hope your friend continues to get better! I’ve never been through anything like that or what Otzi’s going through but I’m here to support everyone. love to you both.

After an absence of nearly a year (she thinks…) MemyselfandI has returned! When asked why she had vacated the blog, she sighed and said, “Sorry, guys. Really. There’s lots going on, y’know?”
No word yet on what “lots” is, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated with the latest.
In other news, Kokopelli has come up with a new pie idea– Craisin-Apple-Hamberry-Meringue! When asked for comment, he said, “I don’t know… It sounded good! Fluffy meringue, squishy fruit, and slimy ham! Now to find some test subjects…”
Our reporters did not take the chance to inquire who these test subjects would be, as they were too busy fleeing from a pie-armed miscief-maker. No word on if the pie has been tested or of the results of said tests.
In other news, there is currently a Pie-Projectile Alert for all of Kokonino. DO NOT leave your homes wothout wearing protection against these menacing pies. Thank you.

I am happy to notice that our depressed friend has the confidence to wear short sleeves! I’m not going to state my opinion on her shirt, but what ever. Seeing as I have known this girl since I was 5, I feel more immune to her unhappiness than others. I do understand that she has had a hard life. I think that at the moment she’s just unhappy about real dad vs. step dad and beign constantly reminded of former hardships. but babe, you did the right thing. I just wish you had told me earlier… because believe it or not, I am actually concerned about her safety.

MUSEFLASH: ::DAW:: had the first snowday yesterday (of the year) She enjoyed mind numbing hours of T.V and also finished reading the second book in the Maximum Ride series.
In other news ::DAW:: had a two hour delay and has not been enjoying her day at school so far. Though with the probability of homework from teachers is 2 out of my 8 classes. So with the next clas containing a horrible class with a test though was warned about was not studied for because of a snowday yester which ensued children running around outside without normal clothing on. They had their Pjs on thank you very much. If there was a ban on homework now would be the time for such measures. ::DAW:: is approaching a four day weekend at four ‘o clock for she is not leaving the school until then.
Now the missings report. ::DAW:: has misplaced her Cellphone. Henceforth it is missing.If anyone who lives in her area and somehow knows of her location and sees a sliver cellphone with a reinforcement on it will recieve a hug.
That is all for today’s MUSEFLASH! this is ::DAW::’s conscience saying ‘ I am going to fail my TEST!!!’ that is all. Have a good afternoon!!
*Conscience runs wildly around screen while musers stare blankly at her*
Please note: I have no responsibility for my conscience currently because it has decided to run away if it attacks you just throw a five inch binder at it and it will promptly not bother you. Thank you.

Hi. *scuffs paws shyly* Today’s weather will be clear and sunny. The temperature is two and a half Popsicles on the Kilograde scale.

Oh, the joys of the IB assessment. I have to make an advertisment for a book. I am allowed to do this in anyway that i can turn in. I have chosen to use the book All Creatures Great and Small and plan to use clips from a BBC TV series based on the book. Beyond that, i haven’t done a thing.

*tangent*
I had my jazz band today. One more practice until the school concert. We assigned solos this week. We played too, and stood up, and the school music stands failed yet again to go high enough to see the music properly while standing. And that was on level ground. In the concerts, the music stands are on the riser below you. Fun. I could barely see any music at all the fall concert between my bifocals that I have to look through the top for music and the defective music stands and the risers. We’re a middle school jazz band, though, and we do only the three school concerts a year. It’s an extracurricular. And the third trombone part is easy. I hadn’t had whole notes in forever before this.

15) Shweet. You live near (meaning within a radius of eighty miles at the most…. probably much closer) my Friend in Maryland. She moved there when I was in fourth grade.
…sniffle
Luckily I still talk to her a lot.
MUSEFLASH:
Kiki has a sore throat and a headache! pweeeeeeez don’t be strep….
MUSEFLASH:
Visala gets another week to analyse an Akhmatova poem, cos there wasn’t any time to present it at the end of class, mostly thanks to Kelsey, Maddy and Andrew.
Which not only puts off her speech, but it also gives her time to THINK about this poem and do a slightly better job than she did at 11:00 last night.
Visala is also worried that her friend might cast her as the star in her Animal Farm musical. She frets. She is chewing off her own hand in her worry.
Visala had a completely pointless day. Does that count as a worthy Museflash?
Visala frets some more cos the person she is writing a play with has screwed-up internet. “Damn,” Visala thinks.
Visala hates talking in the third person. “Grr,” she says.
Visala used the aspirin she bought at the vending machine today. WOAH!! She did not buy coffee. HOLY POOSH!
Visala is currently obsessed with the songs “Magic Bus, “Pinball Wizard”, “Magic Carpet Ride”, “Houses of the Holy” and “Vertigo.”
Visala’s hero left her a happy birthday comment on the Satanic MySpace. It has given Visala’s life a little more meaning.
Visala’s entire English Class of Undying Love and Fear sang “Happy Birthday” to her today and she DIDN’T TURN RED!!
Visala said something laughter-inducing in her sixth hour for the first ever. She feels smug and happy.
Visala has somehow convinced herself that these things are interesting. Talk about delusion.
museflash- there’s been like three inches total snowfall this winter, one two hour delay that would’ve been nothing in a normal winter, and below-freezing wind chill all week. But no cancellations.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Except me. Once I said that in social studies, and now my teacher associates me with it and I don’t not expect him mentioning it anymore or hearing it in school.
Museflash – Kingswinford has snow. Just thought you’d like to know.
MUSEFLASH- i got an 100 on the constitution test! yayyy!
and I have changed my name back.
we have snow where in blanksvilletown, SOMEWHERE. And freezing temperatures to boot!
Boot!
MUSEFLASH – Purple Panda did not have a 2-hour delay today. Purple Panda did not have the day off either. Purple Panda had the regular-get-up-at-the-crack-of-dawn-and-go-to-school-for-nine-hours school day. That made Purple Panda very sad because she was getting used to the non-school fun.
Purple Panda loves talking in third person!!
Museflash-same for ebeth! woohoo…not. Ebeth is EXTREMELY tired and will probably not go to pep band. although she might. she’s still not sure. Hoom de hoom. She really doesn’t want to be up too late tonight. So she’s going back to some tartuffin’ now. And historicality. She hasn’t even finished 23 yet. and 24’s due tomorrow. She’s going to the library for study hall after all. she actually needs to work for once.
Oooooh…I’ve just found an article on Corsica on Wikipedia and I SO WANNA GO THERE!!!! *sighs* ‘twould be awesome. I mean, it’s pretty hard to imagine a cooler vacation place for me. It has
-Family records
-A SUPERCOOL language
-awesome mountains (I’m a climber)
-Awesome beaches
-awesome history
-awesome food
-awesome wildlife
In fact, Corsica is just all around awesome. :grins:
OK, let’s try that smiley again.
Museflash: Purple Panda has started reading Philosophy. For fun. Her “friends” think she is insane. Purple Panda knows she is not insane. At least, Purple Panda does not think she is insane. Purple Panda thinks Philosophy is interesting, therefore she could not be insane. Purple Panda is using way too many words that start with P, and is confusing herself!
MUSEFLASH
the gapas are letting too many people write curse words! What about the poor innocent little kids who see this and go “mommy, what does *&%$# mean?” then the gapas will go to jail ad there will be misery to all the bloggers!
(35) D: Axa agrees!
(35)
Purple Panda agrees too!
Otzi is angry. Otzi is angry because she is not on the lacrosse team. Because, the coordinator did a lottery system, and though Otzi has played on the team for 2 whole years, she was not selected, as were several other veteran team members. Otzi’s high school of choice does not offer LaX, and so Otzi is unlikely to get a chance to play next year. At Otzi’s school, LaX is a hardcore sport. Several of Otzi’s friends who are similarly veterans- and, like Otzi, LIVE for laX, didn’t make the team, which is now composed mainly of noobs who don’t know how to hold a stick the right way up. Besides, they have next year, and, hello, Otzi and her fellow veterans are going to HIGH SCHOOL. They can play next year. We cant.
And um, among other things…I don’t mean to be rude but I don’t need to know about people’s…personal lives that often include iffy details….-hides-
plz don’t kill me D: D:It’s good to talk but sometimes there is subject matter which is of a dubious nature for any and all young Musers. Yes, THINK OF THE CHILDREN! DX(38) Lottery systems are idiotic. It should be based on effort and skill if it’s a competitive sport, and that’s that.
YAY LETS START A PETITION!
this petition cleary states that the gapas shall not be allowed to baste curse words in honor of our youngest bloggers. They may however blackout the curse words and then noone can tell what was meant to be there!
please sign below in your own post
thanks
oops i forgot to sign
-kt the gr8
40- I agree, but people can sometimes figure out what’s supposed to go there using context clues, so maybe they should black out the whole sentence, or just delete the post!
-Jugglebug
I think that censorship is bad, and seriously, people wouldn’t notice curse words if other people didn’t go “OMG HE SAID ___ GAPAS BAN HIM OMG MY INNOCENT MIND IS FOREVER SCARRED OMGOMGOMG” every time someone used one. Seriously. This isn’t that big of a deal. And anyway, that gets into the issue of “what is a curse word”. Do words in other languages count? British curse words? Words that sound bad that aren’t? Hey, since someone might get upset by them, how about the GAPAs start censoring posts that contain anything that someone might disagree with? Or posts about other religions? Hey, it might expose the younguns to different points of views, which is _bad_…. We don’t want openmindedness and diversity here, oh no..
And anyway if they watch TV they probably know pretty much anything you can say already.
well if they can figure out whats sposed to go there good for them
all we want is for the little people to not repeat those words
(43) I think that once in a while is fin or whatever, but recurrent use of language is not because:
-this site is linked to from musefanpage.com, which is referenced in Muse itself as far as I know. I’m fourteen and so used to language; it doesn’t affect me but I think it’s out of place here.
I agree with you on censorship. Messages should not be omitted etc. People should just tone down. Yeah.
43-bugger has a pretty bad meaning, but a lot of people don’t even really consider it a swear word. it’s all how you look at it. I personally don’t care if you swear. It’s just another word. But i can see how people could be offended, and i don’t swear often for that reason.
Ebeth’s homecoming is tonight. She might go out to dinner w/ck and weisman because she’s giving them rides, but everybody’s extremely indecisive.
She finally got the bridge in KoL. Happy day.
She freaked out her science teacher. “Messerly! Messsserly! We’re on a bridge, messerly!” She and bill are planning to do the same to featherstone when we next see him.
Funny thing-featherstone must think we’re all REALLY messed in the head. He always comes in at the worst moments of a conversation. (Ok, we are messed in the head, and most of our conversations are the worst moments. But still) So i was talking to bill…
Bill: Yeah, i was telling my mom how we kept inadvertently traumatizing featherstone…
Me: haha
Me: he always comes in at the wrong time
Me: What did she say?
Bill: yeah
Bill: she’s like “that’s so mean! he’s like a puppy!”
Me: HAHAHAHA
Me: that is so true
Bill: Yeah, that’s what i said
Anyway. That’s my life. Freaking out teachers, doing the time warp again, and spending an inordinate amount of time online. XD
I’m worried about one of my friends. I know she cut herself once and got help, but yesterday we had art class, and as she tilted her brush to paint, I saw the inside of her arm. Covered with fresh cuts. I asked her what happened (even though I already knew) and she said “grumph” and quickly pulled her sleeve down. Lots of her other friends either carefully avoid looking at her arms or say “I cant believe she’s so depressed. What has SHE got to be depressed about?” Well, I dont see much either- her mom is remarrying this extremely nice German man and his tolerable kids. As stepparents go, he’s probably going to be a pretty good one. I mean, he paid for a bunch of us to all go rock climbing, and he walked a long way through a blizzard to pick my friend up from school when his car spun out. But that really doesnt matter- whether or not she has a reason to be depressed, it’s obvious that she is. Some of us are more resilient than others. I’ve emailed her mom, so if she didn’t know about the cutting, she does now. My friend will be extremely angry with me for “telling”, but I hope she will eventually understand.
45- I think I agree with you. Like, once in a while you’re really angry, and you half-block a word with asterisks, but the context clues make it clear, and that’s ok, and if you forget asterisks, the GAPAs can add that, but taking out large parts of a post, whole sentences, because of it is bad. Except in extreme cases.
(47) A couple things to point out:
One: It’s good you recognize that it doesn’t matter why; she needs help, and it’s important you help her get it, as a friend.
Two: Just because he’s nice doesn’t mean she’s okay with it. I don’t know her story, but she could be bitter about it, or uncomfortable with it, etc.
Three: Who’s to say it’s necessarily the marriage that bothers her? Most thing that are upsetting people tend to keep to themselves and I am extremely put off by the fact her “friends” wonder what she has to be depressed about. You don’t have to be in a bad home situation to be depressed.
And most important: Act on this now. Tell her parents or a teacher A girl at my school killed herself last year, and her friends heard her talking about suicide but did nothing, and everyone suffered for it. Cutting leads to other things. Don’t let it.
(47) That is really horrible. I think that you did the right thing, telling her mom and everyting. She will thank you in the end. Good Luck.
(47) Ahhh I missed the part at the end, good for you! That’s really an excellent thing of you to do, I’m so glad you did.
grrmmpfamericanteenagerscuttingthemselvesfornogoddammreasonarghwasteofairwasteofspaceworthlessmoronsggrmmpff
and on the topic of censorship, whenever I try to express myself with questionable verbal choices, it gets cut.
See? We’re not entirely derelict.
I (contrary to what I said earlier) think the GAPAs do a good job of censoring this stuff. They know when too much is too much. I never swear, and don’t like it when other people do, but I think cutting them all out would be unfair censorship. Plus, I imagine it’s probably more work for the GAPAs.
52- you know, American teenagers can be depressed too, and it doesn’t always have to be a matter of having a reason – depression, bipolar disease, etc, are a matter of the chemicals in your brain being out of wack or something..
You can’t blame someone for their neurotransmitters.
Wow, fridge. Of course, Swiss teens never cut themselves. Tell me, do you take classes in insensitivity? Depression is a disease. I’ve had it, and it’s pretty much (Speaking of censorship…-Admin). Would you say the same thing if I said I was worried about a friend because they had cancer?
museflash! purplefinch is in a cafe with wireless internet! She warns MBers that she will not be *sob* on the internet that much for the next month, although she SHALL pop in from time to time.
that is really sad about that girl
GOOD JOB TELLING OTZI!
YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON OF THE COOLEST KIND
(52) That didn’t even make sense. Why would you say that when Ötzi’s friend is obviously going through something hard and Ötzi was concerned? o_o Does not compute.
If enough posts are being deleted because people keep swearing, people should just cool their jets. As far as i’m concerned, there is rarely a good reason to swear. I mean, sometimes, the situation permisses it. But under normal circumstances, swearing just makes people sound crude and unintelligent. I, personally, don’t mind a whole lot when people swear. I’ve become rather numb to it. But what reason is there to offend people unnecessarily? So i don’t break my own rule, does anyone consider the word “crap” to be a swear word?
GREAT job Otzi! You did the right thing by telling. Your friend needs help if she’s cutting herself. And if her mom knew about it already and hadn’t done anything about it then… I probably shouldn’t state what exactly what was going through my head (the exact words, I mean) but… yeah. Anways, I shall keep your friend in my prayers. (yes yes, it’s amazing I’ve been like… rejuivinated! I went to a youth retreat and it was just awesome. I seriously was just amazing.)
47- I’m here for you. You definately did the right thing. Depresion is horrible and your friend needs all the help and support she can get. Hugs!
52- well you’re a supportive fellow mber. /sarcasm. You know, I consider you and all other mbers a friend and friends to each other and supporting each other is a big part in that. Even though you opinions may be elsewhere, the least you can do is support her during her hard time. It’s incredibly hard to go through this and I’m sure your commentary isn’t helping. Sometimes it’s better to keep your opinions to yourself and either say nothing or be supportive.
61-i don’t consider it so, but some might. idk.
fridgey, i’m going to pretend i didn’t see that and sleep easy knowing you’ll never complain about serious issues like that “wasting space” again. Right? *crosses fingers*
seriously though, they need help. otzi, you definitely did the right thing.
63- yeah, it is hard; I was in a similar situation at the beginning of the year when only I knew my friend was hurting herself, and I had to figure out what I should do (I ended up giving her a deadline to tell her parents before I told myself; it worked, and she started getting treatment and is a lot better now, but I _agonized_ over what to do)..
65- I hope your friend continues to get better! I’ve never been through anything like that or what Otzi’s going through but I’m here to support everyone. love to you both.
MUSEFLASH:
After an absence of nearly a year (she thinks…) MemyselfandI has returned! When asked why she had vacated the blog, she sighed and said, “Sorry, guys. Really. There’s lots going on, y’know?”
No word yet on what “lots” is, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated with the latest.
In other news, Kokopelli has come up with a new pie idea– Craisin-Apple-Hamberry-Meringue! When asked for comment, he said, “I don’t know… It sounded good! Fluffy meringue, squishy fruit, and slimy ham! Now to find some test subjects…”
Our reporters did not take the chance to inquire who these test subjects would be, as they were too busy fleeing from a pie-armed miscief-maker. No word on if the pie has been tested or of the results of said tests.
In other news, there is currently a Pie-Projectile Alert for all of Kokonino. DO NOT leave your homes wothout wearing protection against these menacing pies. Thank you.
Welcome back, MemyselfandI! *pies*
NUSEFLASH:
Wingnut will be leaving the blog (in a few days) for a week or so due to ABS Nationals. Which is in Maryland!!! WOOOO!
In other news, wingnut thinks he has noticed a (somewhat exaggerated, no offense) artists impression of FS in the February issue of Muse on the Q&A page (28).
Sorry for referring to myself in the third person. It was an accident, honest!
Oooo! Has anybody seen the iPhone yet?

I am happy to notice that our depressed friend has the confidence to wear short sleeves! I’m not going to state my opinion on her shirt, but what ever. Seeing as I have known this girl since I was 5, I feel more immune to her unhappiness than others. I do understand that she has had a hard life. I think that at the moment she’s just unhappy about real dad vs. step dad and beign constantly reminded of former hardships. but babe, you did the right thing. I just wish you had told me earlier… because believe it or not, I am actually concerned about her safety.
70-Hey, I do that all the time. In fact, I’m amazed I didn’t do that in this post.
71-Yup! I even did an article for my school newspaper on it. Pretty sweet, huh?
MUSEFLASH: ::DAW:: had the first snowday yesterday (of the year) She enjoyed mind numbing hours of T.V and also finished reading the second book in the Maximum Ride series.
In other news ::DAW:: had a two hour delay and has not been enjoying her day at school so far. Though with the probability of homework from teachers is 2 out of my 8 classes. So with the next clas containing a horrible class with a test though was warned about was not studied for because of a snowday yester which ensued children running around outside without normal clothing on. They had their Pjs on thank you very much. If there was a ban on homework now would be the time for such measures. ::DAW:: is approaching a four day weekend at four ‘o clock for she is not leaving the school until then.
Now the missings report. ::DAW:: has misplaced her Cellphone. Henceforth it is missing.If anyone who lives in her area and somehow knows of her location and sees a sliver cellphone with a reinforcement on it will recieve a hug.
That is all for today’s MUSEFLASH! this is ::DAW::’s conscience saying ‘ I am going to fail my TEST!!!’ that is all. Have a good afternoon!!
*Conscience runs wildly around screen while musers stare blankly at her*
Please note: I have no responsibility for my conscience currently because it has decided to run away if it attacks you just throw a five inch binder at it and it will promptly not bother you. Thank you.
MUSEFLASH: Bloggers all over the, er, blog are horrorstricken! Honourable Lady Quintessentia the Contrite of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch has a math test and a science test on Monday! Not good. At least she has an entire two-day weekend to procrastinate.
Let’s now go to Imperial Fang for the weather:
Hi. *scuffs paws shyly* Today’s weather will be clear and sunny. The temperature is two and a half Popsicles on the Kilograde scale. There is a thirty-percent chance of small, tasty snimals running around on top of the snow. So you know where I’ll be today. Back to you for the celebrity update. *trots off to find a chew bone*
Celebrity Update: HLQCL is reported to have been seen playing outside in the snow. Our best candid photographer shot these scandulous tell-all shots from the top-secret location of HLQCL’s recycling bin. *photos of HLQCL making a snow angel*
Aaaand…that’s all for today. As always, the HLQCL Stalking Show is proud to sass you!
Museflash: i have a huge bio test on Tuesday. It is so large, in fact, that it will also be on Wednesday. And i have a loathsome project due soon that i have barely started. Oh, the joys of the IB assessment. I have to make an advertisment for a book. I am allowed to do this in anyway that i can turn in. I have chosen to use the book All Creatures Great and Small and plan to use clips from a BBC TV series based on the book. Beyond that, i haven’t done a thing. It’s times like these when i begin to rethink my prcrastinatious (i’ll put a definition on the Muse Encyclopedia) lifestyle.
MUSEFLASH-Ebeth has history hw (what else is new…), has been neglecting the poor dear museblog, is reading P&P for skewl and is skared smallwood will destroy it for her, has very wet feet from walking around in the slush, needs to finish her library books, is having a spiffy time as always on kol and has almost finished her first run, got a facebook (*gaspe* yes she did), is rayther bored, should probably finish that tape for her mater, and is in fact off to do so now. After a bit of isketching. That’s her life…
Oh and jazz band was canceled, making this the third week in a row of not having it, meaning we’re all going to FAIL especially at sing, sing, sing since we can’t play it at all.
*tangent*
I had my jazz band today. One more practice until the school concert. We assigned solos this week. We played too, and stood up, and the school music stands failed yet again to go high enough to see the music properly while standing. And that was on level ground. In the concerts, the music stands are on the riser below you. Fun. I could barely see any music at all the fall concert between my bifocals that I have to look through the top for music and the defective music stands and the risers. We’re a middle school jazz band, though, and we do only the three school concerts a year. It’s an extracurricular. And the third trombone part is easy. I hadn’t had whole notes in forever before this.
NUSEFLASH:
UFO sighted over O’Hare Airport in Chicago. Does this show extraterrestrial interest in sneaking a peek at the upcoming Muse?
BRING GUM!! THE PIGS ARE ATTACKING!
