The randomness continues, amid snow days for practically everybody.

Snow days, all across the country. What an amazing phenomenon. Even for my school, where I don’t think there’s ever been a snow day before. Cool.
WAITAMINNIT KIKI GOT A SNOW DAY? In S*****, Almost-Chicago, Illnois? Penty is crazy-jealous. When she was in a district nearly adjacent, she was forced to go to school in two feet of snow and howling wind. If the Midwest had hills it would have been uphill both ways.
What do we talk about now?
We got off from school early because it’s supposed to be a blizzard tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!
Okay, we were sitting in Science/Homeroom taking the PSSA test thingy (evil little thing). Normally if an announcement came on that said, “Teachers, please check your email” then we all knew we were getting out early. So we were really figety and we kept asking our teacher if we were getting out because she kept getting all these phone calls. Then, it’s the beginning of Science class and an announcement comes on. “Teachers, please check your email…” Seriously, once that came on, all you heard was people yelling, “YES!!!!!!!” in the classroom and laughter. A lot of people jumped up in triumph. It was sooooo funny!
Hi. I’m Evie, and I’m new. I’m a friend of Taiwan Hippo Fan. I have read some of the articles in the January 2007 issue of Muse and I think it’s really interesting. I’m 11 years old. My birthday is July 25, and my favorite color is purple. I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. One of my favorite hobbies is drawing. We had a snow day today!!!!!!!!! Squee!!!!!!
I’m going to make some hot pink bunnies out of soap with THF today – one of us will eventually send a picture of them to the GAPAs.
I’m looking forward to getting to know you all.
Hey Evie! I’m Kricket! Squee is MY WORD!!!!! MINE!!! lol jk.
Sweet, I live in PA too. Careful though! the GAPAs will probably get rid of the city in which you live. I mean, like erase it from that post. We ain’t supposed to say where we live. (for me… think biblical names to get the name of my town. no it ain’t bethlehem.)
Hello, Evie! *pies* You seem pretty fr00dy.
3- Ugh, we had those today. Reading/writing section? Bleargh.
“Practically everyone” must live south from here. Everyone here expects a foot of snow tomorrow and no school, but there was nothing today.
^^ “Practically everybody“.
hi evie i am kt the gr8
i like cows
here is my korny profile!

how korny!
you sound like lots of fun!

Hi, Evie! My name is Shadowkat, as you probably saw. I live in MI, as you can probably see. And I use elipses (sp?) way too often. Lol.
7-Nope. MI here…you can’t really get much farther north…at least, not without leaving the U.S….which could be possible.
i live in texas so probably no snow here.
darn
sorry 4 the double post!
And The Tominator’s colors are orange and black, in that order.
Hey evie! *pies*
Ahh!!!! I missed one day of muse blog (yesterday) and I thought my world was coming to an end! I think I’m getting addicted…I guess that’s a good thing tho…
It was snowing really hard all day in northern IN and all the private schools got off but not us public high schoolers…wah! Maybe we’ll get a snow day tomorrow…
6- Yeah. The writing one. It was sooooooo…. ugh.
Hi Evie!
It’s snowing right now and we’re supposed to get half a foot to a foot of snow! Yay! I hope we get a snow day because I have a presentation for my science project tomorrow. Blah. Yeah, one of my favorite colors is purple. The other ones are blue and black. And I used to live pretty close (well not really) to you. Is Hershey close to Pittsburgh? But yeah, it always smelled like chocolate there because everybocy used cocoa bean mulch. Yum…..*drool*
For Valentines Day, I brought a seven pound bag of mints to school and handed them out at lunch. People were basically attacking me for them, but it was really fun to watch :0 (even though my hands got a bit scratched up).
3 – About jumping up, my class went to see a performance of The Diary of Anne Frank last year.and right before Anne and that one dude kiss, a kid in my class jumps up and yells “YES!” really loud in the silent auditorium. And then it turned out that it was the time BEFORE they actually kissed. Hahahaha.
We had a snow day today! Yes!
And during the day off, THF and I made (drumroll, please), SNOW MUSES!!!
We made a Snow-Kopelli, A HPB, and Urania! And they were enormous! Urania was taller than my dad!!
If you have looked at the valentines thread lately, I said there that I DID get a snow-day! I built a huge snow fort. It wasn’t enough snow on the grass to actually build a snow person/snow muse, though.
R-t H
I got da 2nd snow day of the year. HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And i read muse and pretty much played computer gamez the whole day!! The other time i had a snow day i had a SNOWBALL FIGHT! I love snow days. My porch had 9 inches. And that was JUST MY PORCH!!! And it was sooooo windy! I hat to watch the weather channel in the morning to see the schools that got closed and I saw my school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And guess what; I MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER SNOW DAY TOMORROW!!!!! :):):):):):):):):):)
Whew, to get that over with. w00t.
I might get my 3rd snow day tomoro.
But if i get my 3rd snow day tomoro i would have to miss the valentines day party and treats and games and HUMONGOUS amounts of candy.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
DARN. I think i will have another snow day. The snow is showing no signs of letting up.
w00t, my 2nd post. w00t w00t w00t.
But then again with all that snow i could make *drumroll* THE DREADED HOT PINK BUNNIES!!!!!! *laughter, MWAHAHA* and i could eat allllllllll the valentines day treats i am bringing. MWAHAHA. MWAHAHAHAHA. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Having another snow day would be sooooo fun. Think of how far i could go.!!!!!:evil: :evil:!!!!!
WOW. 3 actual posts & 1 post of absolutely nothing whatsoever.
SNOW DAY TOMORROW PWNAGE!
Please send me any extra snow you have hanging about. Central NC is having the wimpiest winter I can recall. Today the air even felt like snow but no such luck. Rain again.
here, in the land of 10,000 lakes, there hasn’t been any snow days. I’ve only had two in all the time I’ve been in school (fall 1995- present)
We have a snow day tomorrow, too!
That makes for a total of 4 cancellations and 2 2-hour delays this year due to weather!
We (THF and I) ordered Musery stuff today. A HPB sweatshirt w/signatures, and a muse academy t-shirt. Yay!
23-ohio just has the wimpiest people for its winter. Another snow day. Y’know, i love snow days as much as the next person, but this is mildly ridiculous. It wasn’t even cold today. And nobody could do anything cuz their parentals would be like “no it’s cold you’ll get sick, stay in the house!”
If we don’t have a snow day tomorrow, I’m pretty much screwed because I didn’t do any homework.
I have plans to make a humongous snowball. I’ve never done that before. If it works out, expect photos. (And if not, don’t. xD)
I want to move to Oswego. I’ve been reading about how New York’s getting such a horrible winter, with the 8 feet of snow there, and every morning when I see the weather, there’s a big blob of white over them, but there hasn’t been even one cancellation or decent eight inch snowfall yet this winter, and by now we’ve usually had two or three at least. I’m out loud hoping for both tomorrow and thursday off, but I think a hiding part of my subconscious can’t live six days without seeing certain people. And I would like actual time to sleep and finish my science fair project and stuff. Plz 2morrow off though. I will contemplate murder if it doesn’t happen (of the school district superintendent, only that’s Rebecca’s dad, and she’d be miserable, so maybe the weatherman, only that brings to mind the B*witched song, and that starts a whole other tangent).
Here at ucls (Chicago) we don’t have a snow day, and it’s all powder snow, so you can’t have a snowball fight or anything
-: cry :
^__^
-0-0

I heard Chicago had to cancel like 2349829352 flights because of the wind and etc. Stay warm all you in your crazy states that have snow and such. Ni hope for anything like that here but it was all weird cloudy earlier, or so I hear. Hmph.
omg tetsu-tetsu.com got updated. hurhurhuhruhruhr CAN’T STOP BELIEVING ♥♥ -dies-
we had about 4 snow days. That is unusual for us. Usually we get rain. we get rain all the time. In winter, in spring, in summer, and in fall. It’s depressing.
Second Snow Day of the year! Happy Valentines Day everyone!
No snow day again today. T_T Estoy triste.
SHIPUUDEN IS COMING OUT TOMORROW ZOMGSPLEE. Yes, it will be in Japanese and Penty will only understand a few words (and they will be ‘baka’) but she will watch it anyway and pray to kami-sama for a Shipping Moment and she will grin like a maniac and BE IRRATIONALLY EXCITED. ♥ times infinity. -dances-
Snow day! That makes one two-hour delay and one snow day. We had such a warm January but this month it’s so cold. brr!
bleh.
Fifth snow day of the year! Yay! Well, third. The first two were ice-days. Well, actually one because the other two were because of negative thirty degrees wind chill factors. I just went snowboarding for the second time today. I didn’t fall down at all, even on the jumps! Yay!
you know what?? scratch all my previous heartache posts! She broke up with her bf, it’s evening here now but I’m seeing her tomorrow and I’m bloody ecstatic!!!!!!!! HAIL VALI!!!!
Third snow day of the year!! I’m hoping for another tomorrow, but I don’t really think that will happen. I had a snowball fight with some friends and then we built a fort and skated on our rink…it was sweet!
My Valentines Day isn’t much fun yet. Mom got me some chocolate, which is a good thing, but i started coming down with a cold yesterday evening, and today, I just dont feel particularly good. Headache and stuffy nose, but I doubt anybody wants to hear about that.
And I’m just sitting around home by myself doing nothing. (I’m supposed to be doing school, but I don’ want to.) And I’ve got to work later today, which I enjoy, but doing anything when I’m sick isn’t much fun, and we recently got nasty airwick air freshner’s which are plugged into the sockets in the two exam rooms, which are a both a little smaller than a normal bedroom, and somebody keeps turning them up to the almost highest setting, and there’s no way that they’re supposed to be turned up that high for such a small room. And they give me a headache, almost every day I’ve worked since we got them I’ve come down with a headache, and I already have a headache today, so, yeah, fun, fun misery.
I’ll shutup now, I doubt any of you care much about my probelms….
39: I didn’t see it in the mag, sorry.
37-Yay! Nice. Good luck, man. That’s awwwwwwesome.
Today was actually pretty bad. I took a bath early this morning; the water was BRIGHT PINK, even with this old fizzie I used because I didn’t want to waste one of my nice ones, and then I used my little Soft Coeur sample, and after that I had an okay day, and played some pickleball.
The Chicago Public Radio guy came today. I didn’t speak to him. I did make fun of Segolene Royal. She’s hilarious.
37 (FS)- Yay! Glad it worked out for you.
ONE, a very awesome human-rights type club I’m in, decided to do AIDS awareness stuff today. So I wore my red scarf as a red ribbon and had a marvellous time.
37- yay!
39- I don’t think it’s there but you could post it here!
sorry for the double post, but I just listened too the most incredibly cute thing. Maddy Gaiman at age ten interviewing Neil Gaiman. It’s on his official site, under “cool stuff and things” at the bottom. It might take a while to download and might not be very interesting if you haven’t read his books.
To quote Myv…”HAPPY MERRY VALENTINE’S DAY!!! *chu* ~♥”
(33) YES. YES IT IS. Bittorrent works for me now so I can watch it. AHAHAHAHAHA I can’t wait for awesome Akatsuki action akjdvnadkjbds -fangirls pathetically- :’C I just need to read up on the manga again. Sigh.
(37) Yay! I’m glad it turned out well in the end. ^^
And yay for everyone who’s getting snow~
We had a snow day today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!! So far, we only have a 2hr delay tomorrow, but I’m keeping my hopes up! Well, today, it was completely awesome. My friend Megan came over and she brought a mini snowboard!!! Okay so it wasn’t that small but it wasn’t real. Anyways, since I have a kinda steep sledding hill in my backyard, we were like, let’s go down the hill on the snowboard!!!!!!!! IT WAS SOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!! Even though I wiped out practically everytime I went down. fun fun fun!!!!!!!!!!!
45 (Axa)- The cool thing about the current manga would be…erm…not Shikamaru wangsting. >:( Probably something to do with Hidan and Kakuzu because Akatsuki PWNS.
ANIMATED MASCULINE DEIDARA FTW! And Shipper Moments. -fangirls to death-
39 (Luna)- Dunno about the magazine because I do not have mine yet, but even if it’s not there, it could be on the website.
*starts singing randomly*
w00t!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love “Grease”! Can we have a thread for music? like bands and songs and stuffins?
4-omgomgomg…..I forgot what i was going 2 say……….grrrrr.I had something really good to say too…….any way…hi! *pies**pies again, different flavour*
(47) I know Deidara is NOT A WOMAN AFUHAGD!!111 And Hidan=life. -downloads recent manga D:-
(48) OH BUT THERE IS. Music
It’s from early December though. Ahem.
hem? i totally didn’t understand those manga posts, but thats okay, because i don’t understand half the things I say anyway.
so here it was cold and such, but no snow days because the skool is really pushing the get-out-early scheme. but, we don’t have skool tomorrow or friday, or monday, so its a FIVE-DAY WEEKEND!!!! w00t!! we might go skiing too.
I live in the Northern US (Like, Canada border Northen) but we don’t have any snow on the ground. How unfair is that?
Oh yeah, another random thing. My birthday is March 1st.
51 (VF)- Not very deep within even Penty’s psyche lurks a Narutard.
If Deidara were a woman SasoDei would not be nearly as HAWTNESS as it is. -actually isn’t a brainless yaoi fangirl-
Hidan is amaaaaazing. Especially when he goes panda.
Naruto math: Akatsuki=♥
52 (CM)- Extremely.
I think my spacebar is breaking and it makes me sad. This thing is almost NEW!
(51) Awww you’re so lucky! I wish I had a five day weekend. Skiing sounds fun~!
(53) lololololololololol Panda Hidan A++++++
I hate Sakura and her impossibility powers. Okay you can’t power up like that in 2.5 years unless you’re Piccolo and/or over 9,000. (SOMEONE GET THAT PLZ.) Why the ending to the greatness that could have been Sasori and Deidara.
Also not a brainless yaoi fangirl ! XD Unfortunately befriended to two though oh god
(Psssst GAPAs we should not so secretly have an anime/manga/Japan is hawtzors thread so Penty and I and any other brainless fiend who is so inclined may blather about said topics. D: Also so I may discontinue my confusing and spamming of the general populous with my fandom drivel.)
We actually have skewl today. How sad.
The ice was like an inch thick yesterday, covering everything. You could walk on it in spots and not break through. We went and got ice cream. XD We’re so cool. Then we snowshoed without snowshoes to dannys. Wheeee!
i have song stuck in head grrrr
blathering on with bill about KoL has been one of my hobbies lately. Everybody else who knows us is confuzzled. except hewwit and dan. w0000000000t.
did i tell y’allz we decided feathers was a liopleurodan. A MAGICAL liopleurodan for those CtU fans.
S&E on sat and we haven’t practiced all week b/c we haven’t had skewl. haha, we’re screwed….
schneids is gonna be po’d about missing 2 jazz bands too. We’re gonna fail at sing sing sing. we can’t play it. at all.
woah (4) a newbie! Pies and welcome! *hobbit-foot pie*
50- Well then, we need a new one!
We have another snow day today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!! It’s awesome! Maybe my friends can come over! Yesterday they couldn’t come over because the roads were too icy. Only my friend Megan could come. but she brought a SNOWBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (as mentioned in an earlier post) lol
I’m back! Let the annoyingness begin!!!!
They really should have an evil laugh emote.
Sweet. Another snow day.
Luna- Of course we care. *tchoqlit*
And now for some (possibly) not annoying shtick, from the year 2406 A.D. This is my first attempt at posted creative writing, so plz don’t point out its many flaws. It’s also rather long, so if u don’t like science fiction, please go to the next post.
My Trip tp the Remourance Festival by CyberburnedHypermuffins
Last weekend, my family went to the Glorious Maryland Homeland’s Remourance Festival. This is a place where people dress up in wierd clothes and pretend to be people from the Remourance Period (1950 AD- 2030 AD). I found an Ancient Languages Translator on the MindNet and I found out that “Remourance” means “re-death” in Ancient French (referring, of course, to the second almost total death of actual culture. There was probably a first one, but only robot libraries remember it.)
It was a nightmare in the 21st century. We actually had to travel there in actual person! Just because the silly people operating the festival want to be “historically accurate”!!!!! *rants in fury at the horror of it all* They could have a digi-reality MindNet interface, but noooooooo! They want to make it as hard as possible for their guests! But anyway I digress…. because my parents wanted to put on costumes, I had to dress myself in wierd garments that had no MindNet access, no clor-change, and even no advertisments!!! A very strange culture, this 21st century….
Then we sat and watched actors playing a tedious game called “base-balle”. There is a plastic pole (not real plastic since there is only about 3 liters of oil left in the world) sticking vertically out of the ground, on top of which is perched a white plastic sphere. The “runner” hits the sphere with a plastic cylinder and attempts to move in a diamond pattern to his left around a series of four squares. But there are nine other players trying to get the sphere. Once they have the sphere, they can tackle the runner. The game was discoverd in 2391 by archaeologists, who still think it completely bizarre and incomprehensible. They found primitive visual output devices, on which were recorded a scene of this game being played by midgets wearing strange garments which are called “dypurs”. Weird.
We also heard some classic music from this time period, played on archaic instruments such as the synthesizer (invented in the 1990s) , the electric guitar (invented in the 1950s), and the ultra bagpipe-o-tron (invented in the 2020s, to be the most annoying instrument ever made except for the horror of the 2290s, the Megabanjo.) The music was composed by groups of people, with names like the Bugs, the Jackson Family, and Y’all 3. These groups wrote ballads about the alphabet, cephalopod gardens, and firing weapons into the air.
A tradition of this period was to hold strange contests, such as “american Idol”. The contestants were trapped on a deserted island, where they had singing competitions. It was customary to acknowledge their efforts with comments such as “That was absolutely horrendous!! I honestly don’t know how you have made it this far!” Then someone is voted off the island, usually the most annoying.
So then we sampled a delicacy of the time, clown food. The clown food is obtained in a building with two golden arches, and its nutritional value is nil. The menu includes yellow sodium sticks, a giant cow sandwich, and a “diet” sugar water.
Some inventions of the Remourance period were: First, a huge computer chip, called an iSeed, whose only functions were to play music and output film. this chip was too big to fit in the brain (and besides, no one had even THOUGHT of brain stim!), so they listened to the music through wires.
Second, the Internet, the ancestor of our modern day MindNet Even though it was astoundingly simple, 2-D and on a screen, we have to give them credit for at least that. What is even more amazing is that they managed to survive with an average of 20 gigabytes of computer data space, whcih is 5000 TIMES LESS than the current average.
Third, primitive portable communication devices that had no visual, had patchy reception, and were easily lost (called “cell fones”).
Of course, now we can call each other’s sleeves and e-mail each other’s shoes.
All in all, I cannot say how these people survived the boredom! No brain stim, no virtual reality, no SensaTheater, no personal robots, no wall-walker boots, no FUN! But, there were some good things about the Remourance. They still had petroleum, for one thing, at least before 2027. Also, there wasn’t as much pollution, the West Canada Toxic Waste Dump was still inhabitable, and the Alpha Centaurians hadn’t discovered Terra and shot a neutron particle disintegrator at the Moon. Furthermore, the festival wasn’t all bad. They had a Trace Your Ancestry to the Future 21st Century’s booth, and I found out I have the same name as my great-great-great-great-great-great-great great grandfather. But I still prefer the good old 25th century. Now, I will log on to the MindNet and treat myself to a full hour of VR gaming.
Hooray! Snow! even if it is polluted and purple and radioactive…..
What???????!!!??? MuseBlog censored my post!!!!! I worked so hard on it, and it was so long, and now it’s gone!!!!!!!
oh good, it’s back.
Another snow day! Squeee!!!!
My school district is so wussy! I woke up at 6:15 this morning (unheard of – it’s a struggle to get up at 7 for school) and turned the radio on to find that we have another snow day (yay!). But come on! So wussy. xD
59- Very creative! Good job!
This is my third snow-day in a row. I don’t think it will be a snow-day tommorow, though. I am saying that because last time I did, I got another snow-day! 64- yesterday I woke up at four in the morning to the sound of ice pelets hitting my window. Then, I waited for what seemed like forever watching the little banner at the bottom of the TV until my county FINALLY realized that you couldn’t have driven a tank through the crusty six inches and blizzard of ice pellets outside. Either that or they weren’t crazy enough to get up at four
Hello fellow musers. I did enjoy a snow day yesterday and now looking at the horribble demise of a day with a two hour delay. If you look at this time stamp you will notice that I as usual am posting from a school computer and that unlike usual my computer class is in the afternoon. It has also been put to my attention that I hardly know and any of you and should say who I am. My name is ::DandelionsAreWildflowers:: , but you can just call me ::DAW::.
So for the midwesteners how is the weather? How deep is the snow? Where I am in PA which is classified for y’all, we only got 3 inches and we got off from school yesterday.
Has anyone read the Maximum Ride books by James Patterson? My friend forced me to read them and they were pretty awesome. Sadly the third doesn’t come out till mayish. So has anyone read them.
Snow day. Oh joy. I’m beginning to miss people from school, and there’s still four more days left until school resumes Tuesday. Not that I enjoy waking up at quarter to six, but… I’m procrastinating and I feel horribly about not doing work but not enough to do the work. I really should.
37- Yay! *hugs* Good for you!
55- I had a song stuck in my head yesterday for an hour or too. Not so bad until you acknowledge the fact that it was Yanky Doodle. Curse marches played in band.
61- It’s because you changed your name in the next post. It doesn’t let you view them if you do that. Post 59 was interesting. Hopefully not a true acount of the future, though.. no Moon? *horrified*
67- Hey ::DAW::! I know who you are! I’ve read the MR books, they’re pretty good. Interesting. Do you remember me?
Why does it always seem to snow elsewhere?
(65)- Thanks! I try.
(69)- No Moon. Just pieces of shrapnel.
This is my second snow day and tomorrow is Renaissance Day where you have random classes mine are Chili Maknig, Horseshoes, and How the West was Won. But they might postpone it because of snow, in which case i have a history test…
59- heehee… I like it. and I agree with Jadestone. I’d hate to be without a moon.
YES! Three snow days in a row!
[Tomorrow is canceled, too. State of emergency, and all…]
59- *applause*
So I was really bored today and had fun with face paint. Well, lipstick and eyeliner. Close enough. I have almost a Mardi Gras masque on my face. It’s super-fr00dy. I sent pictures of three of my friends, and they agree.
Well, two of them, anyway. The other was a bit vague, but thought it would be funny if I wore it to school. So.
I just may….
67- Well, I have the first one.
My post is very disorganized, yes?
Nothing much else going on in life. Just no school fof quite a while. Early D on Tues. Off Wed thru Mon. Back on next Tues. Pwnage!
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!
today was a rather good day. I rediscovered the song Vincent by Don McLean (see the music thread) and I checked both Neverwhere and Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman out from the school library. I was quite pleased to discover that my school library had these books.
No snow day for us today, but we did have a 2-hour delay! Yes!
We should have had the day off, though. It was 2 degrees.
ATTENTION!!!
The Piites (inhabitants of the Pieceful Pie Planet) would like to recruit MBers to join our teams for a sport that is something like soccer. At this time, Otzi has a team, and someone else can make one if they like. Teams are limited to 6 players, and slots on cheerleading teams are available. Please go to the PPP thread Part 4 to join. Thank you.
2day wuz alright,a tad bit of snow.and . . . . . well .. . . never mind
Wait!!!!! I have it!!! The reason Feb. is so flamablamablous issssssssssssssssssssss . . . . . . . . . . . . . (DRUMROLL) . . . my b-day is the 24th!!!!! yes,yes,thank you ,thank you!
Hi guys. I’m sorry that I haven’t been posting for a while, er, I’ve been v. busy, what with [deleted for the element of surprise] and the play. So I’m catching up now. ‘Ooray.
Fun thing to do: interview random people on the first topic that comes to mind. Like where they lived when they were 8 or what kind of music they listen to.
I’ve been doing this for the last few days and recording the interviews in my Muse Academy notebook. So far I’ve gotten a girls who raises chickens for 4h, a girl who rides horses and does al the obstacle race things, and a boy who likes skiing and scuba diving.
Museblog is quiet lately. Eh? Jigaroo.
Penty does not have school tomorrow. It’s about time, too. Not a snow day, she has a long weekend and is at home right now.
But RAWR I’m on dialup and can’t watch my Naruto (unless I wait an hour or so for it to load) and hear Deidara’s amazingly sexy voice and such. T_T How bittersweet. (which reminds me of Apocalypcta which I could blather on about for quite a while)
54 (Axa)- Thread request seconded so I may spam up some other place with my Akatsu-squeeing. Please, un? -sparkles hearts stars-
55 (Ebeth)- I AM A MAGICAL LIOPLEURODON K-THX-BAI. -dances-
Those who do not know what I am talking about, watch Charlie the Unicorn. Ahora.
67 (DAW)- I remember you! Gawsh, way to make me feel old. We have about a foot of snow here and still the educational system marches resolutely onward. Someone tell me why.
73 (SM)- -is not a stalker but wants pictures anyway-
I is thinking maybe I is getting chapter the first of my latest plotbunny novel done yey.
So, since I have a 3-day weekend, and I have no school today…. I have a 6-day weekend! W00T! Unfortunately there’s that history test and a history paper and a drama project so its going to by busy…. But there is a Mardi Gras party tomorrow!
Who else likes Chasing the Sunset?
The problem with our snow is that since yesterday it’s benn 2 inches of pure ice, so you can’t make decent snowballs, you can’t build snow forts, all you can do is sled down hills on flimsy sleds and wince as you are dragged over every ice-frozen bump and crash into other people and end up all in in painful heap but…. its still fun!
in my habitat, we finally got a foot of snow after a stupidly warm/ice-covered two months. The pile of snow in my driveway is nine feet high and I am PSYCHED, except for the fact that I have school six days a week and we don’t do snow days. I won’t get to frolic among the frozen precipitation until *snizzle* probably the next vacation.
And now I have a lab report to write and a page of French homework that I have to change to the past tense and my math homework.
Here’s something that I got from CyberburnedHypermuffins.
To: BurnedMuffins in the year 2007 AD (my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather)
From: CyberburnedHypermuffins in the year 2407 AD(your great-great-etc.-grandson)
On The Countries of 2407 AD
At the dawn of the 25th century, the countries are very unlike the countries that there were at the dawn of the 21st century. There have been wars, conquests, renamings, and just random events that have changed the world’s geography.
The first, and major, change in geography is the rise of the Glorious Maryland Empire. In 2205 AD, after the States’ Union of America (at least I think that’s what it was called, I forget) dissolved in a conflict over cheeses and when to serve them, there was a great war which lasted for seven minutes. Maryland easily conquered because- you know how Maryland never did a great part in any war? This is because Maryland offcials had been planning this, the Maryland takeover since the War of 1812 and stockpiling weapons, nukes, troops, and pink elephants of doom. After Maryland took over the former States’ Union, it was not satisfied. It wanted more! So it sent two expeditionary forces to Canada and Mexico. A fierce battle followed, with the Marylanders just inching victory from the jaws of defeat. A MuseBlogger came up with the tactic actually, an ancestor of mine, MachineburnedManumuffins was his screen name. He called it the “Look! A Chicken!” Technique. I cannot divulge anymore, as the “Look! A Chicken!” technique is our greates advantage and secret.
But they could not take Alaska, for a reason below.
So, after the conquest of N. America, they took all of south America too except Brazil, which had a revolution and monkeys were now in power. Then they took over Greenland, the British Isles, Ireland, all of Europe except part of France and Ukraine. There they stopped and helped “spread democracy” as you will soon see unfold.
Iceland changed its name to which means in Ancinet French, “this is not an island”. France took over Belgium, but then the Glorious Maryland Empire took over all of France excpt for the part formerly known as Belgium. Alaska broke free of Canada, taking an iceberg with it, and, over the course of 3 hours,, went all the way around the tip of south america, into the Mediterranean Sea, and straight toward Italy. In the resulting collision, Italy was crushed and the Alps extended, dividing Europe. Alaska is now shaped like a boot.
New republics founded by the Glorious Maryland Empire include:
-We Are So Totally Independent Yo!, a state made up of 21st-century west russia, ukraine, and turkey.
-Israel, made up of 21st-century Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, and all the Middle East.
Remember the Neutron Particle Disintegrator from Alpha Cnetauri? Well, the shrapnel vaporized the rest of Asia and the Earth sealed up the gap, except for the east tip of rRussia, which is now an island. Scandenavia is now one republic called Cold. A new island has appeared called Freeland. it is near iceland. The rest of africa besides egypt is in Glorious Civil War.
Israel and We Are So Totally Independent Yo! are puppet states of the G.M.E.
The only unpolluted sea is the Chesapeake Bay.
So, that’s about it.
Penty, I have today off too. And Monday. I’m going to Galena for SKIING!!!! Wheeeee! And there’s going to be REAL snow, not the icky-blecky manmade stuff. My parents are at a parent-teacher conference for my brother.
Carnival holidays. No school for a week. Going to Bellinzona to spend the night partying. Dressed as a viking. With my little vikingette…:D
40, thanks. Glad everything seems to be working out with you and the girl you like.
89: Thanks, me too. Although there were some awkward moments… I mean, what am I supposed to say when she tells me that she broke up with her bf, but the fact that she left him for me is obvious, but unspoken?? Luckily it ended up in making out instead of wierd glances…
(86)- I forgot some things.
Austrailia: disintegrated along with Asia.
Three Completely Unrelated Facts
1. McDonalds moved its HQ to Madrid in 2401.
2. All the vodka in Russia misteriously teleported to Antarctica, where, in a drunken frenzy, the penguins pushed Antarctica into the Madrid Harbor.
3. McDonalds now sells penguinburgers
OMGUSABBQLOLROFLW00T!!!1!
What? Who said that?
Anyhoo…. i guess you guys r all at skool…….
Just curious… who else hates survivor?
I should really stop posting ’cause im not supposed 2 b on the computer right now…. but im gonna keep posting till i get caught or until i think of something actual to say.
You know what’s really bad about snow days? Work accumulation!!!! On Tuesday, I have a history test, history paper due, science quiz, drama project due, drama review due, science test, AND a religion quiz….. which i really should study for. Actually the only thing im done is the drama review…..
Can you spell failiure?
Are all the comment moderators on coffee break or something?
(96) Sadly, there are times when offline concerns tear us away from MuseBlog. We try to keep such rude intrusions to a minimum.
90-Aw…cute.
93-Ay!
97-Oh, you guys! Don’t worry about it…we love you, anyway! ♥
86- Again, very good!
Ugh, I’m so bored! EVILNESS…………. Ah well. Oh guess what! we had the PSSA Writing Test thingy today. The persuasive one was my fav. I’ll tell you in a sec. my mom wants me to get off for a min.
(shall be continued…)
Okay I’m back.
Anyways, the persuasive prompt was that we had to write an essay (5 paragraphs) to our local community about who we think should be given its “good citizen” award. We could make up someone or nominate a random person that we knew, etc. Guess who I wrote about. HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol, I am completely serious. It probably was the stupidest thing I did on the PSSA but whatever. It was funny.
So apparently I’m the Countess Pentatonikk the Unctuous of Leighton Buzzard now. Please address me accordingly. Thank you. This is, I believe, a mostly harmless link. But maybe it isn’t, and snip will go the metaphorical scissors. We shall see.
[Indeed, I deem the foregoing link entirely mostly harmless — Venerable Lady Rosanne the Bewildered of Frome Valley]
The Countess wishes to cough politely in the direction of a certain thread.
101- Okay, Countess Pentatonikk the Unctuous of Leighton Buzzard. Why may I ask are you now Countess Pentatonikk the Unctuous of Leighton Buzzard? Do we all get new names?
101- never mind.
So now, apparently I’m Countess-Palatine Kricket the Intransigent of Fiddlehope in the Marsh.
Her Noble Excellency Lady Bunniful the Random of Kirkby Overblow is pleased to be amongst such distinguished company.
I’ve invented a kewl character. Her name is Kyaera Emmeritus, and she’s from the year 2258. I also made up a version of the alphabet that they use then. It’s funky!
Hello. Like my new name? It is all the rage in Muse-land. (By Muse-land I mean Museica, PPP, the magazine, Kokonino County, Musery Loves Company (which is actually an independent country), and the blog.)
why hello there, fellow royalty. You are all welcome in West Smeesborough anytime you like!
-jumps on the band wagon-
I’m laconic. Win.
Oh hay guys Shippuuden was not animated so well but Deidara’s voice was made of all things perfect in the world so I’m satisfied.♬
it is infuriating that u peeps hav NO SKOOL!!! blaak. we did hav a bunch of sno when NY was all hot and sunny (then it snowed there right after our sno melted) check the weather reports from, uh, a month ago? i think… whoever it was that said they get rain, rain, and more rain, do you live in seattle? it is really rainy there (here, hint hint) especialy last november… my friend actually got a FLOOD day fromschool… it was like watching the news of the river streets and saying oh, look, there’s my neighbor’s house! lol it’s AWESOME!!!
pent-up excitement over nothing whatsoever exlpodes violently out of me in the form of a very strange nnoise slightly resembling “eeeeiiiioleeeeeem!” or a high-high “g” on a flute.
My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Marquess Robert the Mad of Brompton Underfoot |
100- So I didn’t take that part yet. Thanks? Is this bad?
My title is Her Grace Lady Olivia the Incontrovertible of Withering by the Wold.
Anyway, SM has a big rant about nothing you care about and stuff you probably think is stupid anyway. What is this about, you ask?
THE SAT SCORES ARE IN.
That being said, my math score went DOWN. It was 700 last year. Now it is a 670. I am out of the 700s club. This is bad. *dies*
Overall, a 2010. This is unacceptable.
Ugh.
Sorry, see, you really didn’t care about that. And mother says I’m being unreasonable. Still, I’m pretty mad at myself. *SHC*
So I’m signing up again, and I am going to take it on May 5, and hopefully not SUCK this time.
Thank you for reading/not/whatever. Ugh.
Excuse me as I sulk and have an overall depressing or bad day.
106- I thought I had a long name! lol
107- Greetings! You are also welcome in Fiddlehope (in the Marsh.)
110- how’d you get the picture? Or is it a secret?
Henceforth, I am Honourable Lady Quintessentia the Contrite of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.* Bow to me, knaves. Those who cannot pronounce my title will be beheaded.
My royal pet dog is Imperial Majesty Fangits the Flavoursome of Fishbourne Sneething. The revered nickname of such a pet is Fang.

* I swear, it really gave me this name.
Hey, am I the only one having problems with museblog?? I can’t see the recent comments on the right hand column…
114 – That happens with me sometimes. It will probably fix itself by tomorrow. At least, it does for me.
113 – Ah, yes, I actually know how to pronounce it! Go me! I get to keep my head! W000000t!
An amazing name, is mine not?
I think the GAPAs will frown upon such a long name… well, it’s just for this once.
We got our Musery shirts!!!!!! W00000000t!!!!!!!!!! A Muse Academy value t-shirt and a hpb sweatshirt with the signatures on the back.
I am going to organize a Muse Academy summer camp for 2009. Any suggestions for where it should take place? I’m thinking it should be near me, in Muse, PA, but if anyone has other ideas, tell me. :D:D:D:D:D
PB&J wishes it to be known that he still prefers the appellation “Argolath the Magnificent”.
Howver, he is delighted to receive notice of entertaining fripperies on the Internet, and undertakes to personally investigate any that are not too time-consuming. In reciprocation of which, he hereby recommends the “Holly Dolly” song, available at various locations, which is very funny on a first viewing, but could become as annoying as Crazy Frog. Type “Holly Dolly” into Google and you will undoubtedly find it.
117: Argolath the magnificent should watch the video for Eluveitie’s Fire, Wind and Wisdom on youtube. It’s not time consuming and it’s definitely superior to anything that could be compared to Crazy Frog.
105 – Woah. Kyaera sounds like my name (well, not really name, but name on MB).
111 – SAT scores. Yay. Haven’t gotten mine yet, but sine I got really high MEAP scores, my parents told me to participate in womething called the Midwest Academic Talent Search in the summer of seventh grade. I took the ACT for highschool freshmenn then and recently took the SAT for highschool senoirs. The ACT scores were okay, except for math. (sixteenth percentile. ouch.) But I also had to take a test for catholic highschools and antother one for Cranbrook, a school I want to go to. The first test scores I can’t find right now, but the second percentiles were: 99th in Verbal, 83rd in Math, 96th in Reading, and 97th percentile total. Not horrible, but I wish I was a little better at math.
I am appearantly:
My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Baroness Kiara the Evanescent of Tempting St Mary Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title
If that ended up just being a bunch of HTML, sorry.
it dosnt snow booo you are lucky!!!
Hello, royalty. I have a long, cool name, too!
The sage is back! she has recovered from the ‘flu. bleh
My Peculiar title is:
Entirely Miss Reverend Lady Blue Sage the Sophisticated of Dramble Buzzcock
ooookkkkk.
Yeah, you know you’re jealous.
Okay this is seriously really messed up. I know we get spring-ish weather early here, but I heard it hit 90 yesterday and it feels like early SUMMER outside. More than a little creeped out.
Also I’m downloading Goong and am very happy. Yay for Korean dramas. XD
I admit it. I’ve been fooling around with LUSH North America and not spending enough time on the MuseBlog.
Heheheheheheheheh…………………….
Bow to me, my subjects!!!
As predicted, I forgot all about you people. *skims thread*
No snow for me. It hasn’t exactly been warm, either, so I’d rather have warm weather again at this point. (If we do end up getting snow, I intend to create a time-portal and dump it on Christmastime, which was spent in t-shirts here.)
My peculiar aristocratic title is indeed quite peculiar. I will admit to hitting reload several times until I found one I liked.
Marchioness Rachel the Unusual of New Invention.
…interesting, isn’t it?
Some of them really dislike me, and persist in saying ridiculous things like “the facile”, “the funereal”, “the bibulous”, or “the ovine”. My favorite, however, was “the Apocalyptic”.
I did the aristocratic title again, this time with my blog name:
Imperial Majesty Sweet Melpomene the Ingenious of Chalmondley St Peasoup.
I do believe I shall keep that one.
LOVE the titles!
Went to the opthamologist today. In 6 months, I’ve managed to creep ever closer to being completely blind. Ugh.
OH YAH. I’m in Galena, and WHOOO. Went skiing for six straight hours today. omg. It was SO COOL. My brother did snowboarding, and, as always, sucked. I’m sure he’ll get better, though. I’m here till Monday! w00tyt00t!
113, 115- I can pronouce it too! I take Welsh lessons.
116- YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
131- It’s welsh? Really? Hmmmm, didn’t know that. Or did I???
(yes yes, changing the subject now. oh well)
omg, Phantom of the Opera is soooooooooo sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I nearly cried at the end when *shuts up so no one will read the ending description and have the movie spoiled for them if they are going to see it*
Has anyone seen the Princess Bride??? I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watched it with my friend last night. It is sooo funny. I think that was like the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve seen it.
132-I’ve never seen The Phantom of the Opera, but The Princess Bride is great!
132- yup! it means something like the town with the red church in the valley…. etc. It’s a town in Wales!
133- I lurve The Princess Bride , but how do you get from The Phantom Opra to The Princess Bride ?
117- Ooooh my…. creeeepy sheep
118- actually, I have watched that. that was the band you said had a flute player in it a while ago, correct?
132- I’ve seen both. PotO in a theatre in Chicago. It was reeeeealy good. The person who played the Phantom and Christine were married in real life at our showing. Coolness.
I love titles! I got several, and shall force my friends to adress my by them. Maybe I’ll change it every week. Heehee.
Her Eminence the Very Viscountess Jadestone the Kind of Goosnargh on the Carpet

Lady Jadestone the Hunted of Much Madness upon Avon.

125- ditto.
Extremely sunny yesterday. And warm.
Oh woe.
II couldn’t enjoy it without thinking about global warming ;__;
135- They both start with The and P?
I unno.
Gonna take me awhile to catch up with all these posts. But that’s ok…got two more days ofno school. sadly however, we got our president’s break cut down (three days taken away) to make up for our snow days/wind days.
You despise everyone, and everyone despises you. None of this surprises you, when you are…Snape.
*bashes head off of wall*
What have I been doing since about two today? Star Wars. Episodes 2 and 3. Like for the first time ever. Actually, I think I saw 2 and didn’t realize what I was watching…but anyway…
[+10000 Geek Points]
Where was I? Yeah, so my friend and I are sitting there on my couch, watching SW2&3. All bloody afternoon. And he is quoting along. And humming the music. Oh, yes.
And every once and a while we’re commenting on the fact that something isn’t sensible or scientifically possible. Yeah, it was a geek party.
Of two.
And whichever one of my parents appeared at the time…
Ugh. So. Getting to the point.
What is up with this guy? So we talk online all the time, right, but almost never in person. And he’s always mentioning that we should hang out. Which we’ve done. Yeah. And also that I should join his RPing cults/groups/whatevers.
[speaking of which, I think I got myself into D&D…eek]
And then he’ll eventually ask for a hug. I hate hugging. A lot. Ugh, but I feel bad about it because he’s always horribly nice and all…so…
Ugh! This is kind-of annoying.
This person is too confusing.
So, to the point: Anyone have extensive knowledge of D&D? I only know the veryvery basics. And I’ll look like enough of an idiot already…
Still have tomorrow off.
Mayhaps I will confront the realities of my HW and of my piano lesson? Yeah, I’ll have to…
And keep myself mostly offline all day. Bleah.
…DOCTOR!
HULLO!
ARE YOU…THE BRAIN SPECIALIST?
…HULLO!
ARE! YOU! THE BRAIN SPECIALIST?
NO! NO, I AM NOT THE…UH…BRAIN SPECIALIST, NO, NO, I AM NOT…………YES! YES, I AM!
MY…! BRAIN…! HURTS!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I’m back!
yes, hoorah!
okay, got a lot of things to cover in a short amount of time, so let’s hit the ground running.
1) How did the Pie War back in August-ish go? The one I started and suddenly disappeared during? Yes, I know, awfully bad manners to leave during a war, but… something came up. And I couldn’t come to the MuseBlog. At all. It was really sad. But now I’m back!
2) Whad I miss? Care to fill me in?
3) ——- Public Schools are so stupid! We get one frikin half-snow day. That’s it. One frikin half day. All those other schools got two days off, but oh no, we have to stay in school, and the school board has to make fools of themselves and make it a half day because the roads are so frikin frikin bad. Grrr.
4) Papaya
5) I’ve started a Pirate Club at my school. I’m co-captain with another girl. My ship’s name is the Wraith. I wanted to use “The Sweet Tiramisu”, but that wasn’t quite piratish enough.
6) Papaya
7) I don’t like papaya by the way, it’s just a cool, random word.
8) You don’t know how much i’ve missed this site. really. my life is almost blah without it. not the word “almost”
‘k, I think that it. please respond!
and happy birthday to all of my bestest musebloggers!
Jellyman, are you there? Noer? Coxswain? Guy-who-never-comes-to-pirate-club-even-though-you’re-called-the-coxswain?
Sorry for this comment, but I’m checking to see if my friend has signed up.
Sure, why not? What does larychmose mean, though? And I would like to point out that, unlike the above, my name is LOWERCASE, curious and questioning, or if you prefer to abbreviate, c+q looks nicer to me than with an ampersand.
(143) *welcomeback cheese pie in the face*
HI!
1) How did the Pie War go…hmm, well, I tried to revive the Neutral party, but I’m not sure it work. I think the thread may have fallen asleep, though I’m not sure. I haven’t checked it in a while.
2) Tell the truth, it’s been pretty quiet round here. Were you here when the Musecast was release? It’s by Purple Panda and Taiwan Hippo Fan, with contributions of VF and possibly others. It’s good. There have been 2. It’s a PodCast, for clarification.
Lesseee…FS sent in a clip of his intense guitar skills, which was cool.
And yeah. Fun times.
3) Hmm…suck it up. At least you get snow.
Just kidding. Funny story. It actually snowed here once last month, which is incredible, and even though it was only a few inches (at MOST), some of the in-town schools got snow days. Not ours, though. I guess the snow did kinda screw up some of bridges, which is why some schools got off. Still made me laugh though. Seriously, it was all melted by noon, but we were all making such a big deal out of it.
4) Mango
5) Cool! VGI. (Very Good Idea). My friend and I started a holiday called Happy Tuesday. You brings 5 boxes of crayons and hand them out to everyone, and you give one aquaintance (not a friend and not a stranger, but an aquaintance) a pineapple. It’s good.
Do you guys collect booty in your Pirate Club?
6) Kiwi
7) I agree.
8) We’re glad your back It’s nice to have some around who posts such readable posts.
(it’s a Wikipedia link. I hope those skill are ok)
136–Jadestone! How many times to we have to tell you not to goosnargh on the carpet?! Sheesh!
143- Hiya! I remember you!!! Yes, as Skipper said, it has been pretty quiet around here lately. I think we need another Pie War thread. That would be fun.
My hair is dripping onto my keyboard. Wow, that sounded weird. My hair is wet and the water is dripping onto the keyboard. There. That sounds better.
Okies, now onto my original point. I’m going to list some names and I want you peoples to tell me which ones you like best.
1) Amandis
2) Celeste
3) Christina
4) Dabria
5) Donata
6) Esperance
7) Juno
8) Natalie
9) Olympia
10) Risa
11) Vera
They’re all Latin girl names. Please please please help me choose one! Thanks!
fur=For Unknown Reason
pdn=Pretty Darn Nifty
143- FUR, we at ucls (Univetsity of Chicago Laboratory Schools) have had no snow days, in spite of having
(Sorry, this conmputer sucks, it just posted randomly FUR)
143- FUR, we at ucls (Univetsity of Chicago Laboratory Schools) have had no snow days, in spite of having 2-foot snow drifts, this’s far from PDN.
^_^
(- )-)
–/
EP Even though Oswald doesn’t really have moods, he sad to.
148- Numbers 1 & 6.
It isn’t fair, we only got one day off b/c of snow, even though there was two inches of solid ice on the ground. The school near us got 4 days in a row off!!!
Hello!
Back from Maryland last night. It was cool. There was “snow” everywhere. the reason i say “snow” is because the snow had a layer of ice over it that you couldn’t break through unless you jumped and landed on your heels. Oh yeah, I was in the mall with my dad (Townson Maryland has the MOST CONVOLUTED mall layout I have ever seen), And I saw a store called “Kokopelli”, complete with flute. We didn’t go in, though. I think they sold clothes, art, and pottery.
i like donata and esperance. dunno why, they just sound kewl.
hey, welcome back! the pirate club sounds spiffy
148- I like Dabria.
148–I like “Risa” and “Vera”.
145 onwards– What’s with all those huge names? Hah! I’m not being cool by having a name consisting of only five letters!
Welcome, Magus. Regarding the long names, we’re experiencing a bout of peculiar aristocratic titles. You can obtain your very own by way of the link in comment 101. In general, however, we discourage excessively lengthy names as they clog up the recent comments column on the main page.
148-They’re all awful names. I’m sorry, but they are. I have no preference, but Celeste is probably the least bad of the lot.
Well, I have to say that my life has flattened out lately. I hate Chicago, and I do not like winter. But I like LUSH and my biofreshies and bath ballistics make me happy.
I had a bad dream last night about the time I went to San Francisco, and it took me twenty YEARS to persuade the Customs guy to let me through with the bath ballistics that are bright purple and read BOMB on them. OKAY, maybe it wasn’t the smartest idea to bring them on a plane, but the man was way too straight about it. I thought I was going to have to hold him at gunpoint or something. Bloody awful.
I report, though, that I have lots of yummy shower jellies. I went out and bought a coconut. Because the jelly looks good, but it doesn’t taste very nice.
148- Either Esperance or Natalie. Natalie because it’s pretty; Esperance because it’s pretty and has a good meaning.
148 – Excellent!! Celeste is best, with Amandis a close second.
I once knwe a girl named Celeste. She was way kewl. We were stand partners in orchestra
Wowsers! I was gone for the weekend and now there are so many posts that I am gasping with dismay. “Gasp” Gasp” Gasp” Gasp”
O.K. I’m done gasping.
Well today was very interesting. When we firswt came to school the heater was busted and evaeryone freezed their buns off. But now they turned the heat back on and it’s so hot it’s UNBEARABLE This is like EXTREME climate change! Eek!
(159) Are you saying that you actually ATE your SHOWERGEL?! Ewwww!
(154) Hey! We saw alot of those when our family went on a trip to western America. There was one town with about 10 places named after Kokopeli! Hey Kokopeli! Did you know that you are so famous?!
159- Hey, they’re Latin and I picked them for a reason.
Thanks everyone! So far, Amandis, Celeste and Esperance are tied. (2 votes each)
Anyways, those names are for a story that I’m writing. It’s just a short story but I can’t think of a name for this one character and she’s one of the main characters! I’ll post this story when I finish it. And to finish it, I need the name so… yeah. Thanks!
kricket ever think of josephine? its a wonderful name… okay.. i like it, it means may god add
I want to propose a “Muse Encyclopedia” thread. Where Musebloggers can write the name, how to pronounce, and description of an object that they ‘found’, and other Musebloggers can read it and tell them what they think.
My friend has a fursona named “Selest” pronounced the same way.
Capricious–I like the Encyclopedia thingamabobber. I’d, of course, write about the Muse Encyclopedia Thread–getting all the facts wrong.
IRONIC!!
165- ooh, i like that idea!
(165, 167, 168) Sounds good. Done.
132 – I love those movies!!!!!
148 – Esperance. Definently. And Dabria. Try some Celtic names, they sound really cool and have awesome meanings too.
169 – Kewl.
148- Vera, definetally. I used it in a story, she was the MC.
Me ish back! Whee! Well, er, yeah. I have been playing KoL a lot lately, 9ask Ebeth) and writing. And practicing for ze play. A lot. And I learned Blowin’ in the Wind on my guitar. Yay! And skiing was teh ultimate fr00dy. I also used Terminal for the first time. It’s a computer program where you actually enter the code.
I got very high scores on last year’s ISAT, which’s results just arrived. I got “Exceeds Standards” in all three subjects, and I’m better than 99% of the country. I feel good!
OMG! has anyone seen The Bridge to Teribithia? it is soo sad! but it is AWESOME!!!! Go and see it if you haven’t already!!!
hi aha does anyone have a yelly lunch lady like mine? well she’s horriffying and everyone’s terrified. however she calms down when she sees an adult around. but seriously, she YELLS INTO THE MICROPHONE?!?!? rediculus! come and share your misery w/ me on the greatest blog in the history of the universe- museblog!
yay!
anyone else hate popcorn w/out butter? Gross!
anybody there? am i the only one on museblog at this very moment? kewl!
so how’s life treatin you?
Nope, you’re not the only MBer on right now. But my mom just told me to get off of the comp. Sorry. And I can “tolerate” popcorn without butter, though it isn’t very tastey.
Quintuple post? The PoPoPo is much displeased.
I always flee to the hallway during lunch. We have to share the cafeteria with the elementary kids. Small children are scary, especially at lunchtime.
172-I haven’t seen it, but i really want to. I love the book. It is really sad though.
172- Seen? it’s a movie now? hmm… I wonder if they ruined the book or did a good job… Didn’t know there was a movie. I loved reading the book. and please try not to have multible posts at once, try to say everything in one post.
(180) From the way the were advertising it, it looked like they took it in a completely different direction…I found the plot lacking in the first place, though it’s just me.
I have watched 12 hours of Goong. My life has been taken over. OH YUL YOUR LOVE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND TRAGIC AKFJAKGJABABVNAKB -dies-
(148) Juno
(154) Yeah, sometimes I see Kokopelli themed stores too. I always want to take a picture, except that usually they’re really cheesy cheap stores that are rather a disgrace to Koko’s name.
(159) What are biofreshies?
Hmmm…I’m going to be in Chicago for a week during spring break…
(171) Congrats on your test scores! That’s great. And cool about learning Blowin’ in the Wind. I like the chillness of that song,
(173) I don’t buy lunch. I bring it and then either chill by my locker and be a geek who does homework or I sit in upstairs House 2 with my crazy friend and her crazy boyfreind and my other crazy friends. ANd then get yelled at for eating in the halls.
I’m on a team that is organizing a concert to raise money for the genocide in Darfur, and I’m being stressed. The lady at the university who said she could get an ad put into the newslettter for us hasn’t e-mailed me back and I don’t know what to do.
But I am kinda proud of myself for finding a Rwandan lady who survived the genocide there and then came here who is very well educated and knowledgable who said she would do a speach at our concert.
Bye Museblog!
Just watched Shippuden. DEIDARA I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUU~ The animation is eh. BUT OH AKATSUKI MAKES UP FOR IT. TOTALLY. -fangirls to second death-
182 (SN)- When’s your spring break? We must Kokonvene! It is destiny!
182–Oh, you’re in STAND? We have a chapter at my school, but all it really does is tell us stuff we already know (That the genocide is horrible. I KNOW THAT.).
Furthermore, I have just returned from a dinner with the one and only Robert Coontz, whom my parents are good friends with. He’s an awesome guy.
i have decided to change my name. and then go to bed. good idea, no?
I’ve read Bride to Terabithia, but I haven’t seen the movie. Did they completely butcher it, or was it similar to the book?
Sorry, I don’t have time to read the thread (I really need to come here more often).
We’re supposed to perform our plays next week…and we don’t even have the set done yet!(Eep!)! There wasn’t any skool yesterday, so we spent from noon to four building the set…or at least a few other ppl and I tried to. Everyone else was just goofing off, blasting musik from someone’s iDock thingie, and hiding backstage. We’re going to be in a lot of trouble next week.
I’m a little freaked out now – I, previously thought to have invincible immunities, have gotten sick. I don’t think I’ve been this sick in my entire life. Hopefully it’s just a worse-than-usual bug that’s going around.
172- Yeah, I saw it yesterday. I had already read the book so I knew that it was sad…
178- I feel bad for you… Evil little elementary school kids!!!!! Yay for middle school and high school!!!!! BOO SIXTH GRADERS AT MY MID. SCHOOLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!! lol, jk. Seriously, all the 6th graders are at least an average of 3-4ft tall. Scary.
183- I know this post was not directed at me, but oh well. If I get back from Disney World before Spring Break is over, I shall try to Kokonvene with y’all. If not, GO DISNEY!!! lol
186- No, it followed the book’s plot and stuffins very closely. Maybe there were just a few times where it strayed, but overall it wasn’t that bad. Not as good as Narnia, but then again, Narnia followed the plot and script of the book exactly except for one phrase. I think.
187- Hope you get better! Being sick is awful.
Anyways, it’s 11:00am right now. I actually slept in ’till 8am! It’s amazing for me. So far, nothing is going on. My friend invited me to go skiing with her this morning but she was going skiing at 8am which would have meant I would have to wake up at like 6am. So I politely declined.
There is absolutely nothing going on and I’m really bored. My sis is ticked off at me…. hehe…
So who heared about the NASA female astronaut who drove all the way across the country in diapers to murder her love rival?
189- I think I heard about that. Crazy, huh?
especially one of the news stations who said something like: “…and with true NASA ingenuity, wearing a diaper.” To which Jon Stewart replied: “What?? My nephew is 2 years old, he wears a diaper!!”
191- I must ask, what time does the Daily Show come on in Switzerland, or do you watch clips on the Internet?
Stewart and Colbert are very, very good at their jobs.
I watch it on the web. Dailymotion.com, my friend. Jon Stewart for President, Stephen Colbert for Vice.
181- Hey, my sister is watching Goong right now I watched the part where the girl went to the teddy bear museum with the queen. That museum was so cool. *drool*
182- meep. Yes, me too, except I’m raising money for cure for cancer. AGH so hard to think of good fundraising ideas.
189- Oh my.
189-Who heard about the other one who just broke the record for female spacewalks?
Is there a Prisoner of Zenda movie?
Dear People Who Want Boys To Get the HPV Vaccine:
You’re crazy. Go learn something about pharmaceuticals.

Today MP failed to hit a tree with a snowball, so I told him he was a rotten shot. Then he, the kabluna, threw a snowball at me, a Mo, so I hit him back with three at once (I have lots of practice) and made a face. Dirty kabluna. Then I felt better. Hey, there are advantages to spending winters in Yellowknife.
QJ,
Zenda, yes. I’ve seen the 1937 version and the 1950s version. The 1937 one was much better. Apparently there are several others, including a BBC mini-series that I’d like to see sometime. Wikipedia, as always, tells all:

Hey, what about me?
Wowwww….quadruple post. Any thread other than this one, and….
We just got new neighbors! They don’t have any kids, unfortunately, but they threw a ‘welcome to the neighborhood’ party for themselves, and when we went, they had shelves and shelves of books, including a whole shelf full of Douglas Adams. Cool!
I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i’m going to anyway. GAPA(s), would it be possible for me to post a video i made (or rather, have yet to make) on the blog? I have to have a way for peers to evaluate the project mentioned in the musings and i figured, “What better way than the good ol’ blog?” If this is possible, please tell me how because i am in no way good with computers.
(183) My spring break is first week of April. I’m going to Chicago with my friend. And yes, I think a Kokonvention is in order, if we can make all the necessary arrangements.
(184) I’m not technically in STAND, as my school’s club meets during a period when I have a class, but I help out on the side.
You MET the GAPA? :shocked: COol!
(195) How much snow is there in Chicago right now? I wore a tank top and no sweat shirt today….
(203) That’s good. I hope you feel better!
(217) Your neighbours are cooler than mine. They just tore up their backyward to build a guest house, and in the process destroyed my lovely path to the riverbed. Pooeyheads.
I have thursday and friday off this week for Rodeo Break! Band is marching in the Rodeo parade, which will be interesting seeing as we haven’t marched since November.
Then most of my friends are going skiing. I’m chillin at home to paint. Lots and lots. And read stacks of books. It’s gonna be a party.

219- Sweet! As it approaches, we’ll plot it out in more detail, but we’ll do it on a Saturday so Penty’ll come, and Queenie’ll be there, and JS and VF, and maybe Phoebe and Zallie… YAY!
I have a huge ego, but I have a reason to have one.
*Coughs* This is really weird – I woke up this morning, and my fever had come back, even higher than it was yesterday! I’m going to be out of skool for the rest of the week, at this rate…missing rehearsal…and our performance is on March first.
I watched Marie Antoinette yesterday. It’s probably one of the best movies I’ve seen all year, so far. I like how the soundtrack was mostly modern musik – I mean, it doesn’t seem like it would go w/ a movie like that, but it does, somehow.

I got my muse magazine on Saturday!!!! I was going to mention that Monday, but the stupid computer refused to connect to the internet!!!
I am incredibly disappointed in the Snape/Dumbledore contest. For one thing, I was incredibly disgusted that they published an entry by someone who hadn’t even read the books, and didn’t have a clue what the circumstances surrounding Dumbledore’s death were, and therefore, couldn’t have any sort of a decent theory as to what happens. And as far as the other entries go, none of them had any actual thought put into them, the best one (in my opinion, and even it waasn’t that great) that said Snape just always does what’s easiest, presented a relatively good idea, but didn’t support it with any specific examples from the book. If she/he had, it would have been much better, as it would have had a little bit of thought put into it.
Personally, I think my entry is way better than any that were published. Maybe that’s just ’cause I wrote it that I think that, but you guys/girls can be the judge. Here’s my entry. Please tell me if you think it’s better or worse than the ones published, or if you haven’t got your Muse yet, just tell me if you think it’s good.
I am mad! A certain other computer in this house, refuses to connect to internet, and of course it’s on that computer that my Sanpe/Dumbledore theory is on, so I’m going to have to type it up all over again over here, as I can’t email it to myself if it won’t connect! Ugh!
Okay, here is my theory (starts in response to the question: what really happened to Albus Dumbledore):
What happened?! There’s no question as to whether Snape killed Dumbledore. The question lies in whether Snape wanted to kill Dumbledore and whether he is loyal to Voldemort or the Order of the Phoenix. I believe Snape is working as a sort of double agent, pretending to be loyal to the Dark Side, when in truth his loyalties like with Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix. Many of you are probably thinking, ‘Sure, then why did Snape swear the Unbreakable Vow to Draco’s mom, Narcissa?’ I’ll get to that, but let’s start with why I don’t think Snape wanted to murder Dumbledore.
At the beginning of the book, when Narcissa is speaking with Snape at Spinner’s end, Snape said he would try to help Draco, but he could easily ‘try’ to help Draco without it ending in Dumbledore’s death, as Bellatrix basically said when Narcissa suggested the Unbreakable Vow. Also, since Snape said he already knew what the plan was, Dumbledore would have known; known that Draco was supposed to try and kill him, and that, as Snape said, “He intends me to do it in the end, I think.” And Dumbledore, being the noble, crazy wizard that he is–was–would have instructed Snape to go along with it to the end; to kill him if that was what was necessary to maintain the charade of Snape’s loyalty to Voldemort.
Snape agreed to make the Unbreakable Vow to narcissa because he had almost no choice. If Snape had refused Narcissa’s plea, both she and Bellatrix would know he wasn’t on Voldemort’s side. In addition, although he agreed to the first two parts without muich hesitancy, when it came to the third part, killing Dumbledore if Draco could not, he obviously didn’t wnat to: “Snape’s hand twitched within hers…” [An obvious relfex that he wanted to stop, wanted to pull his hand away]. In fact, the only reason he agreed was most likely because, as I mentione before, he knew it was the only way he could continue working as a double agent–and because Dumbledore probably told him that if it was necessary that he, Dumbledore, sacrifice himself, then Snape must go along with it at all costs.
Other little things throughout the book also lend credence to my theory that Dumbledore knew Snape might have to kill him and was okay with this happening. For one thing, in chapter 17, when Harry was telling Dumbledore what he overheard Snape telling Malfoy aobut something involving the Unbreakable Vow, Dumbledore seemed unconcerned. In fact, when Harry pressed the matter, suggesting that Dumbledore didn’t understand what he was saying, how important it was, Dumbledore said he not only understood, but that “you might even consider the possibility that I understood more than you did.” This statement practically comes out and says that Dumbledore knew full well that Snape swore an Unbreakable Vow, and that he knew what was contained in the Vow. He also goes on to say, “you have not told me anything that causes me disquiet,” so obviously he is okay with sacrificing himself.
Then, on the fateful nikght of the invasion of Hogwarts, you might inquire why Dumbledore was talking Draco out of killing him if he was planning on sacrificing himself. Obvious. He didn’t want a sixteen year old to become a murderer. It had nothing to do with him not wanting to die. Then, oonce Snape entered the tower, Dumbledore began pleading But was he pleading with Snape to kill him, or pleading for Snape to kill him and not hesitate and break his Vow, resulting in Snape’s own death? Personally, I go with the latter. It alsoo states that there was “revulsion and hatred etched” on Snape’s face as he gazed at Dumbledore. However, I believe that this was not be cause he hated and despised Dumbledore in eneral and was loyal to Voldemort, but was either hatred and revulsion for himself for going through with this deed, or hating that Dumbledore was sacrificing himself and making Snape be the one to kill him.
Then, as Harry was chasing Snape, it was obvious that Snape was upset and hating himself for what he has done. When Harry calls him a coward for the second time, snape looks as though “he was in as much pain as the yelping, howling dog” in Hagrid’s burning hut. Why would he be upset at being called a coward unless he thought it was true, thought he was a coward for murdering Dumbledore instead of openly defying Voldemort?
Also, if Snape was truly a loyal Death Eater why would he save Harry Potter’s life during the Quidditch match in book one, prevent Voldemort from successfully retrieving the philosopher’s stone, and stop the other Death Eater’s from torturing Harry intno insanity with the Cruciatus Curse on the night of Dumbledore’s death? Although you could believe what Snape said about the latter item, that Harry belonged to the Dark Lord and was his to torture and kill, doesn’t it make more sense that Snape didn’t want Harry disabled or dead, because then there would be no one left who could defeat Voldemort? I certainly think so.
So to sum that all up, I think Snape is good even though he killed Dumbledore, because Dumbledore knew he had to sacrifice himslef. Of course, there’s also the much less complicated theory that Voldemort had Snape under and Imperius Curse, but I like my theory much better, not to mention it fits in with all the clues dropped throughout the book, whereas the other theory does not.
Wow, that got moderated fast. Did you really read it, GAPA? Didn’t seem like you hardly had enough time to do so…
O_O Jesus, it’s a book! It’s not some bloody second life or reality show where what happens to the characters has a mortal impact on your life! Personally I was disgusted with all entries, and have been very disappointed with Muse these past few issues. Remember, it’s all in the mind of an average british woman who got filthy rich by selling out. Eat the rich!
I wrote a nice poem in skool today. I’ll post it later.
(229) Luna, for moderating, I skimmed it for content in the interest of getting it posted quickly. Then I went back and actually read it. Two entirely different processes, really.
Ohhh [brief but piquantly expletive-laced lament deleted]… I am now the saddest guy on the planet. Arianna just told me that she ran too fast, that she still feels something for her ex, and that she want’s us to be friends, although there was a ‘for now’ thrown in. Goddammit, I should have known, after 4 years you can’t just forget everything, you need time… But I’m madly in love with a girl I can’t be with. Damn every happy couple in the world right now, I’m broken.
230, FS, I never said what happens has a mortal impact on my life! I know bloody well they’re just books. But they happen to be a series of books that is very good and enertainint, and just ’cause I didn’t like any of the entries published, and posted one with more thought doesn’t mean I think it has a mortal impact on my life, it just means I like the books. And what happens to the characters in reality shows has mortal impact on a person’s life???? Hello, reality shows are the stupidest shows invented, and don’t affect anybody but the people in them, and perhaps their families.
234: You create a whole elaborate plot based on a bloody book. Don’t mess with me now, I’m emotionally destroyed and in no state to conduct a flamewar, no matter how gratifying they may be.
I didn’t create anything. It’s all there in the books. JKR created it, I just read the clues, and drew a conclusion from the info presented in the books.
And I’m not trying to start a flamewar, you are. i didn’t start arguing with you, you started this by always having to criticize everything anybody else says, in this case me. All i did was post my entry for the Snape/Dumbledore contest and say I was disappointed in the ones published. You are the one who took issue–again–with my liking HP and had to make some comment about my thinking they have some mortal impact on my life.
And what’s your problem, anyway? did your girlfriend break up with you, is that what you’re referring to in 235? If so, I can see why, if you’re as disagreeable in person as you are on here, I can understand why she would do that.
oh, yeah, and flamewars are banned, even if you wanted one.
stop it you two. geez.
I’m sorry about your girlfriend, Fridge.
238, you’re right. I’m not going to let FS push my buttons anymore. If he wants to always criticize everything people say, that’s fine. i’m not going to lower myself to his level anymore by arguing with him when he insults me and the things I enjoy.
Luna – I loved it! That’s exactly my side on the whole thing, but I could never write a big essay on it. Good job!
I think Luna and FS are secretly siblings. Because they fight a lot.
233-Oh…poor Fridgey…it’s alright…I’m with you in spirit…I know that’s not much good, but you have a virtual shoulder to cry on.
236-Hey, watch it, LtL…Fridgey’s going through a rough time, and I know where he’s coming from. Someone breaking up with you for someone else after just a few days is more than enough to piss you off. Lay off, please, alright? Fridgey tends to annoy everyone…you just have to learn to live with it…I have.
222- No, we don’t……….. lol
223- First week of April??? Drat, I’ll be in Disney. I think.
228- Actually, I think that Snape isn’t good or evil. He’s practically just doing what he has to do stay alive. However, I’m inclined to think that he may be leaning towards the good side. I’m just optimistic like that.
233- Aw, Fridgey, that’s so sad!!!!!! (However, please don’t d*** Christ…) That’s really sad… *tries to be optimistic* She said for now, didn’t she? That’s always a plus! I think (this is just my opinion) that you shouldn’t let this consume you and your daily activities. Just be yourself, like you normally are. And whatever you do, don’t give up hope. Wow, that sounded really… corny. Seriously, don’t slide into depression. That’s not good! Maybe… maybe, ummmmm, well… maybe… you know what, I’m not even going to say what I was going to say because that was very pessimistic and just downright unhappy. Again, I feel really sorry.
239- Seriously, you’re doing it again. Just let it drop.
Fridgey, you too.
Anyways, back to what I was going to write when I first came here… Ummm… Ack! I can’t remember! Well, if I remember it, I’ll post it on here later. Byes!
240- Yes, they are long lost siblings! They argue too much not to be!
Pfft, the Snape Killed Dumbledore debate is soooo 2005.
But on that note, I don’t remember exactly but isn’t Avada Kedavra supposed to kill a victim *immediately*? Like, they’re dead before they hit the ground? That most certainly was not how it went down with Dumbles. Veeery suspiiiiciooouuusss!
GAPA? Mostly harmless link, totally muse-related and it’s just a pic. Please? (not the l)
(245) Very clever of you, Ebeth — you knew I couldn’t really object to that one, now could I?
Honestly, Luna, it’s excelent. But I kind of agree with FS on this, JK Rowling is a bit of an idiot. If you want a decent thoery a magic, look at A Wizard of Earthsea, it’s wonderful book, so is The Tombs of Atuan, and the fourth book is good, but The Farthest Shore is scarry.
244- I agree!

Muse Amazon review a few days ago:
Brain food for kids, February 18, 2007
Reviewer: Mrs. Patricia A. Cervantes “reading and loving it” (Pasadena CA USA) – See all my reviews
When my 10 year old Grandson received his first issue he sat down and went through it non stop. He is still quoting it.
This lady rocks! (And her grandson)
228- It’s good. I didn’t pay too much attention to the contest entries this issue. I would have added something about the part where Voldemort is accounting for his former Death Eaters right after he comes back and says Snape’s a traitor (end of book 4?)
other Luna- Try to ignore FS. He’s always disagreeable like that and you just happened to come at a time he was in a bad mood. And please don’t be all morally superior about it.
247- Have you read anything else by Ursula K. LeGuin? I read The Lathe of Heaven the other day, about the guy whose effective dreams changed reality, and I was curious about other people’s opinions on it.
The only thing I didn’t like about the HP series was that magic was made so, well, mundane. I really prefer fantasy where it’s rare and mysterious, at least for the protagonist.
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT HARRY POTTER= SRS BUSINESS.
Well, I’ve LeGuin’s book Eye of the Heron, but that’s it.
-252 Spot on! The wizards seen to have infinite power, and however many spells they cast, the never seem to upset off unbalance earthly powers, they just keep casting and casting, without worrying about a thing except how good thier aim is (?!?!?!?!) like gods or something.

aww, kiki now i’m depressed. You know more latin than i do. Speaking of which, i still have to do that translating…*beats head on wall*
So i have a history test next period…yeah, fun…except not. at all. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I enjoy flamewars occasionally, as they lighten up an otherwise sometimes boring blog.
But yeah, I’m really just cranky with everyone in general right now, I feel terrible and broken inside, so just… Learn to cope, ya know? Btw I saw One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest with Jack Nicholson this morning, as to remind me that there are people worse off than me.
254- I know. Even Paolini had the sense to make magic fatiguing for people who used it.
Yes. Magic kills you. And in HP there’s no explanation at all for magic or whatever, it’s a ripoff of every folk-loric culture aspect ever. Bah.
a good book series where magic is at least interesting is wheel of time by….. um i forot the author -_-” but its still good except u dont just die when you overuse magic you become posessed/ignite/ any other means of overall chaos and or destruction
for more information type “wheel of time” into google, and if that doesnt work also type in “ba’alzamon”
aaaaahhhhh! the POPOPO are out to get me! NOOOO!!! *glomp*
Does anyone know how to make a mousetrap car that will go at least 25 feet? I think I get the basic idea – big wheels, longer distance between spring and wheel it’s attached to for slower movement – but I have 8 tech classes of 15 minutes each to do it (start to finish) in, plus whatever of lunch I’m allowed to come in for to complete it, and if someone’s actually done this, I’d appreciate some wisdom from experience.
210- Cool! I like the WDB! We’ve been trying to perfect the bunnies out of text for years…good to see a new one.

Oh, and they mentioned Wheetabix in the book I’m reading for the library book club so t gets an extra point when I rate it( 3.76 out of ten, btw. but I always rate books really low).
228- It was probably just to long for them to put in
230- Eat the rich? Haha!
233- Oh, I’m sorry. *hugs* But just be patient… if they broke up, they probably won’t get back together. Just giver her some time and wait, then maybe somthing more can happen. *sends choklit*
230-236 – Calm down. Eveyone’s entitled to an opinion, so don’t go insulting each other and let it go… I can understand Fridge is having a hard time and Luna’s upset a bit, but relax.
265- Er, dunno. I remember doing somthing with cars and Keneand a rubber band in 5th grade, though
hye. mie name iz Ut-zee. Eye eam rye-tingue thuh whey Eye sountaulking. Trie ut!
not to change the subject or anything but, can anyone give me a crash course in ethanol? I’m supposed to be studying it and be ready to give a little talk on it, but I don’t even know where to start learning stuff
258- I am SORRY! lol, though.
265- what’s a mousetrap car? sounds pretty dangerous if you don’t have good motor skills. hehehe.
(sorry for triple posting, but i need to comment on a few things.)
254- i like the inheritance books better in that area, because spellweavers have limited energy for magic.
249- how do you “srike” stuff out? i need to know how to do that.
GAPAs, could we have a thread on computer and video games? that would be fr00dy.
Mousetrap car. Sounds fun!
I’ve never done it before, but there’s a wikipedia article about it! Just type “mouse trap car” into the search boxy thing.
Ekk… mich no kira siulo maonkey anenkle oladne nir.
Well, I have a stupid “conventions of nonfiction” paper to write. I HATE NONFICTION!!! ekk…
The snow is now turning, churning and burning (burning? what am I talking about?! It’s all that would ryme.) Anyway, in general english, the snow is turnig to a slushy mixture that upon closer examination is composed in its prmary nature of small somewhat squishable but individually hard ice crystaline structures. Very plain jargon INDEED!!!
Go to the newcomer thread and see how sad my hawk drawing is.
Yep, snow’s melting. Didn’t get a chance to go snowboarding on any big hills. I really hope that it snows again before spring is here. Actually, todays weather was actually ibn the high twenties, and I felt warm enough to go outside without a coat, except it was super windy.
I’m pretty annoyed with my english teacher because my forensics peice was turned down because of “lack of remorse for the killing of innocent people” I go to a catholic school, so we need to represent good values. Here’s the peice that I was denied. Try reading it. It’s quite a good piece, and i don’t deny that’s it’s fun to act as the villian sometimes.
Cold Blooded Murderer, by Pen W.
You want to know, I suppose, what turns a nice little girl like me into a cold blooded murderer. You want the truth? You want to know why I did it? Why I killed all those girls? It’s because I like it. I don’t expect you to understand what it’s like. You have no idea. To hold someone’s life in your hands. To be in control.
There’s always that moment of acknowledgement between a killer and their victim. That instant when she realizes your power, and she looks at you and you look at her, and she pleads with her eyes. She begs for mercy, for her life. And you have a split second to decide: To save her, well that’s great. You could give her her life back, give her back to her family and friends, the people that love her. But to kill her… That’s something different. To remove her from this earth, to take away the thing that most value above all: Her life. Now that’s real power. None of these girls deserved their lives. Look at them! The musician, the actor, the writer, the dancer, the artist, the model. None of them appreciated what they had. They were the best. And that meant nothing to them. I’ve never been the best. Always smart, but never the smartest. Pretty, but never the prettiest. Talented, but never the most talented. But despite all this, I always thought I was special. I thought there was something inside me, lurking within, that would make me great. I’ve never been content with the idea of simply living my life, dieing, and being forgotten. That’s just not me. I want to be remembered for my achievements. And I will be, won’t I? sure, you’re disgusted by what I’ve done. You’re horrified, you think I’m a monster. But I can guarantee that you’re not going to go home to your boring lives and just forget me. Oh no. I’m willing to bet I’ll be on your mind for quite some time.
I used to think I could find other ways to be recognized. I wanted to be famous for a while. But then I realized how stupid that is. People would want to be me, without really knowing what that means. Then I thought of being a lawyer… Me! I thought, ‘if I save lives, people will worship me.’ But I realized, not long ago now, not long before I killed for the first time, that saving people isn’t enough. I could save the lives of one hundred people, and they would be grateful, and so would their families and friends. But what about everyone else? They’d see me on the news and think, ‘Huh. That’s nice.’ Then change the channel to something else. But what if I killed just one person . and not just kill them, brutally murder them. With my bare hands, staring them right in the eye. Not for revenge, not for personal gain, because I like killing. People would pay attention then. The whole world would stop, with me in the center. Everyone looking at me.
And I know what you’re all thinking. I can see the looks on your faces. You think I’m just an attention seeking little kid, but I’m not. I just want someone to notice me. All my life I’ve stayed in the background. There’s always been that one student who gets better marks than me, That one teacher who makes me feel stupid, that one friend who always shuts me down, that one parent who’s not interested, that one sibling who overshadows my achievements with theirs. And nobody even cares. I just want you to think. And don’t act like this doesn’t apply to you, sergeant, cause it does. You’re just the sort to do it. You’ve done it to me… Next time you’re going to put someone down, point out their faults, make them feel stupid, be-little them, think about me, then think about them, and what they could do to you. How much would you respect them if they had their hands around your neck, and they had the choice: To release their grip on your throat, or to just keep pressing. Think about it.
Okay, depressing piece is over. Whadjya think of it?

This may come as a shock, but I’m not dead. (I’ve been really busy though.)
The most interesting things that have happened are…hell, did anything happen? I won the school spelling bee which was incredibly non-competitive, as usual, and Sarah got her first issue of Muse. I think that’s all.
Anyway, nice to be back. ♥

I’m just going to be lurking. I’m really too worried to do much else, really.
Yesterday was one of the best days of my life.
Today, my teachers all told me I’m brilliant and that they expect me to be famous.
Today, I acquired the flu.
Today, my inbox is empty.
I’m doing all I can do, which is hoping and waiting and watching.
You all know what this is about, I’m sure, but I’m so sick over it, its pathetic and embarassing.

(In ENGLISH), since everyone’s talking about pie-wars, has any one seen the movie Bugsy Malone? It’s a movies with an all-kid (under 16) cast, and the weapons are cream pies, until the enemy ‘gang’ getts splurge guns, an automatic device for firing mini cream pies and, well, creaming th enemy. The idea is good, even though the plot isn’t fr00dy, whatever fr00dy means. If you havn’t seen it, you should.
I have a job delivering newspapers. *money eyes*
TRI TESTS ARE TOMMOROW!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
At least my art project is done.
*Throwing down petty pie trebuchet and hand-pies*
Mwahahahah! Now SP’s got a splurge gun!

Hey GAPAs!
Why don’t we have a new thread – a list of Musers, along with their bios! Not anything that would give away vital information or secret identities, but just a place where people can tell us about themselves – faves, music, food, opinions, etc.
Just an idea.

You mean like a Muser Profiles thread?
Spider Plant- Froody is a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference. Froody means very put together, cool, knows where their towel is. On museblog, it just means something that is very cool or interesting in a muse-ish way.
Auhg! My beautiful link *sniff* was just zapped by the PoPoPo!
Revised Core Rulebook (Star Wars Roleplaying Game) is awsome, or so I’ve heard. I want to purchase it, does anyone know anything about it? Any comments? Thanks!

EP I’ve an RPG club, but we only play Tunnels and Trolls.
269- I know it’s chemical structure! we were talking about it in chemistry class today. go to wikipedia and there’s a pretty picture of it. it’s CH3CH2OH maybe. I’m not exactly sure if that’s right and the numbers are supposed to be below.
I had an idea! A light bulb popped up over my head. When/if there is enough interest/ enough people have read some, could we have a Newford thread for discussing Charles de Lint’s Newford novels and short stories.
Also I humbly request a new books thread and a new poems and songs thread.
Reposted from the Suggestions thread as no one but penty shall see it there.
*sniffs* no one’s talking about me. it makes me sad.
what makes me happy is that today is friday, and that means i only have 1 more school day to struggle through! w00t!
I’m on holiday… monday back to hell.
Poeples? Could some one answer to 283? And 29?
Sorry, 294, should we be talking about you?

276- that’s pretty good, they didn’t like it because you didn’t show remorse? Showing remorse would have made your point a little confusing, that you wanted to have power and be different and killing is the only way you can do that, but your really sorry about it. I got out of that that you aren’t at all sorry, your happy that you can finally be recognized as someone that is important (even if it is in a bad way)
oh, and btw, I went to a catholic school too! only i’m not catholic… oh well
297- thanks.
i finally made it through four classes, lunch, and seminar! yay! it’s the weekend! w00t! and i have an MS dance tonight! w00t! w00t! w00t!

You know what’s really stupid? When someone says “i’m speechless.” If they’re speechless, why the heck are they talking???
AARGH! Please stop applying logic to my posts, Robert!
