in October 1st, 2005 @ 20:17Hi guys! Whohoohoo, it’s good to be back. Anyway, Pheebs:
after my parents got SERIOUSLY annoyed at me for wanting to go on your site, and gave me lotsa lectures about how lots of stalkers pretend to be young girls (if you are a stalker, I guess they were right, but you aren’t about to confess if you are, now are you?) they also started to go on about Museblog and how it was possibly dangerous and anyway was taking up too much of my time, so I banished myself rather than get grounded for life, and then my mom, as a sorta apology, suggested I make MY OWN SITE. My own MUD, just for kids in my school. So I got some of my MAP pals together (Queen Stephonia of the Seven Sisters, Zyviva, and Emperor Varenu of Raen, made ’em administrators, and designed a site. Sorry you guys can’t go on, but it is highest grade security.

And, did one of you go on my site as Niko Miller? If you did, you can go back to see what came of your Application and what you do next. Thank you soooo much for signing up, we majorly needed more boys.

in October 2nd, 2005 @ 11:09Yeah, I used to play an RPG online that had been set up by a few friends of mine, but then it turned out that one of the people there was a stalker or someone thought he was or something so I quit. Basically, I don’t e-mail/IM people, and I don’t do the forums stuff (except for this, but Mom said I could do the Gaboomba and I think she’s still fine with it now that it’s the lovely museblog.)

in October 2nd, 2005 @ 15:35Stalkers and scammers really are out there, so it’s good to be careful. Rosanne and I keep a close lookout for any contact information that MuseBloggers might reveal by accident; some of you have had messages edited or zapped. (Queen J., please try harder to keep the “URI” field on your comment form blank.) If a message or its sender seems suspicious, we’ll put the message on hold and try to check it out by e-mail. If there’s no reply or if it still seems fishy, we keep it off the blog.
We’re happy to hear suggestions for tightening up any possible leaks in the site. Right now, though, I can think of only three ways trouble might arise here:
1. If you use the same handle on another site that does post contact information, someone could find you by going there.
2. Someone might get your e-mail address by hacking into the blog’s master database on our Internet Service Provider’s computer. (I suspect, though, that anyone capable of doing that would rather spend the time getting credit-card information from somewhere.)
3. Rosanne or I could turn out to be shady characters ourselves. We’re not. We’ve been science writers for 15 years and are pretty well known. I work at Science magazine, and she works at Stanford University medical school. Our unusual names make us easy to google, and we’ll be happy to talk to any parents who have questions or concerns or who want character references. (Just showing your parents our video clip should convince them that we’re too klutzy to be online con artists.)
So be careful out there, all. We don’t want anything bad to happen to any of you. Nor do we fancy having to chase any Dementors out of our happy blog. End of sermon.

in October 2nd, 2005 @ 16:57Yeah. My dad told me all these ways you could hack into various things, I guess to try and scare me. In fact, when I told him my security measures for my website, he just laughed and listed about five jillion kabillion ways to hack it. I have a list of rules (very basic):
1) NEVER PUT YOUR REAL NAME, even just a first name preferably.
2) never put where you live anywhere smaller than country
3)never click on links
4)If you think it might be nessesary to put a false name, you shouldn’t be on the website in the first place (obvious exception is here. I put Phoenix on b/c I like it, it’s my real general penname.).
5) Never touch any ad. for popups, alt+f4 knocks ’em off safely.
6)Never trust anyone, especially not young teenage girls (like me!) because hackers often take on the identity of 12-16 year old girls because they seem trustworthy. Listen, I don’t even trust myself. (actually that is a lie. It is really hard to be a nasty person without knowing it.)
7) never, ever, EVER go on a MUD or chatsite. As I said before, some bogus sites have tracers that, if you click on or type ANYthing, deliver your name and e-mail address to the operator. Really, truly, not making this up.
8)if you see someone you know onliine, that dosn’t mean it’s really them.
9) even if the site or company is reputable, that dosn’t mean its employees are. Once some big search engine, I dunno, Yahoo or summat, had an employee that got clients’ personal info, and sold it online to hackers. Also, once my dad went on a movie review site, that he had gone on before, even, and a lurker virus zapped HIS ENTIRE COMPUTER. He had to but a new hard drive because his enitire computer got destroyed. Also, the old Rabbi of my Beit K’nesset had all his files deleted, down to twenty years back! he lost TWO DECADES of work!I heard this story of a guy who woke up in the middle of the night, and his computer was typing by it self. No joke, a hacker broke into it to the degree that he could play solitaire on this guy’s computer. Scary.

in October 2nd, 2005 @ 20:45That reminds me of the guy who had his liver stolen while he was sleeping.
The e-mail I use is strictly for forums and such, if someone hacked into it, they wouldn’t find much about me.

in October 3rd, 2005 @ 19:18Eek. Liver stolen? Did they just, like, numb him up and do some quick surgery or what?
Very smart, Axa.
If any of you are hackers, etc., I know you are. Forunately, I recently got some special software, and if you run it through, any person who has a criminal record, any sort of suspicious software on their own computers name will come up red, and if you have a virus, you come up in green. So all you hackers, I know who you are, so skeedaddle and I won’t call the cops on you. No one appears to have a virus, however, so yay.

in October 3rd, 2005 @ 20:48why has our conversation turned to hackers, viruses, stalkers, and other nice, cosy conversation topics? I think I might have a virus- a cold. Or maybe it’s just ragweed.. I hate this time of year- still hot with lots of pollen despite supposidly being fall… I actually like fall, though, when it gets here.. I majorly hate summer, though.
Hmm, I think Firefox is messed up. not good.
Why is this called “October Surprise”? It makes me think of ice cream. Yum. I think I’ll go have ice cream. Yay for three day weekends. Which unfortuntely is over, but that’s okay. I went skating today. I can do lunges. And can sort of do t-stops. And can’t do backwards crossovers. My legs hurt.

in October 4th, 2005 @ 15:18Lizzie (#16):
Here’s what Wikipedia says about October Surprise:October Surprise is the allegation (as well as the title of a 1992 book on the subject by Gary Sick) that representatives of the 1980 Ronald Reagan presidential campaign arranged the Iran-Contra deal well in advance of the 1980 election in which Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter.
The alleged conspiracy was to postpone the release of the hostages held by Iran until after the election, thus preventing an “October surprise” (a phrase that has come to mean a stunning news event intended to influence the outcome of a U.S. Presidential Elections) that would have aided Carter, the incumbent.

in October 4th, 2005 @ 16:39Yay! I got a day off too! Since there are a lot of Jewish people at my school (not me), we get all sorts of Jewish holidays off. Like Rosh Hashanah, which means I get to laze around in my pj’s all day, except I have a cello leson to go to. Life is unfair.

in October 4th, 2005 @ 16:46Could we perhaps do a thread/poll on Pwt’s gender? Or will that lead to too much heated debate? My personal opinion: he’s a boy.

in October 4th, 2005 @ 19:36yesterday must have been something, cuz there were a lot of jewish kids from my school gone that day, and the teachers just said, “oh religious reasons” no clue what though.
hey randomrohanfreak, heated debate is fun! don’t diss the heated debate! actually i say pwt’s a boy too, but it would be fun to debate heatedly anyway.
randomrohanfreak: Pwt’s a boy
ebeth: You’re so wrong! Pwt is a boy!
randomrohanfreak: what would you know? he is totally a boy, so there!
ebeth: Nuh-uh, i’d think it would be OBVIOUS that pwt is a boy…
…erm…maybe we should find someone who thinks pwt is a girl first…

I’m back from Maui now. We went about 10,000 feet up on Haleakala Volcano. I said,”My we ‘re high up” about a milloin times.
Our flight didn’t come in till today so my parent used rosh hashana as an exuse 4 me being gone. We did say blessings though.
We didn’t have internet in Maui.

in October 5th, 2005 @ 17:49we got a day off for “staff development”. I think they just didn’t want to teach..
Yay, little homework today because I had four tests, so I have time to go on computer..
I skinned my knees yesterday because they made us run back and forth across the gym and my friend cut over in front of me and I tripped and fell and went sprawling out on the gym floor..
There were a few people out for religious reasons yesterday although for my friend that meant skipping services and writing her English essay..
Pwt’s a boy.
And I hate summer because it’s TOO BLOODY HOT!!!! I mean, it’s October already, people, and we were still having temperatures in the 100s last week! And humid..

in October 5th, 2005 @ 17:51Woo! I barely read any of that, and already I can see it’s hopelessly random.
Any way, I’m going to go wildly out on a limb heer, and say I think it makes no difference whatsoever wether Pwt is a boy or a girl. A much more pressing issue is how you pronounce its name. We should also be talking about the whole Koko vs. Urania thing, and why everyone likes Koko so much! I have the “Kokopelli for President in 2008” on my door, but that was just because it came with my Hot Pink Bunny stickers.
Oh, did anyone else do the Hot Pink Bunny thing? I just got mine, and they are totally awesome!
Anybody want to have a heated debate with that comment? Because I won’t be hanging around on this website much longer, just a few minutes. (Or maybe a few hours. Who knows!)

The Most Horribly Pressing Question about the Most Argued-Over Muse in History (Arguably)
i usually pronounce pwt’s name sorta like “poot” but i can also see where people might say “pwit” or “pwut” maybe more like “poowit”
staff development rocks, cuz you get to laugh at the specific teachers you hate *coughcough* who have to stay and listen to boring meetings while you go watch adventures of robin hood for the 5937493572th time…

in October 5th, 2005 @ 18:11Sorry, I wrote that in resonse to Jusenkyo, before the other two were posted. It might make more sense if you know that. Probably by the time this is posted by the Muse people, a gazilion more people will have commented and it wil be hopelessly confusing! Just pretend you don’t notice.

in October 5th, 2005 @ 19:49I got a… *counts on fingers* 5 day weekend, b/c of Roash H’shana! yaaay! That is why I havn’t been on, It just ended, like, 15 minutes ago. I go to Yeshiva (a Jewish school) so I get EVERY Jewish Holiday off. It isn’t much of a vacation, b/c each day of Roash H’shana I spent praying (3 times a day… 4 hours for morning prayers, 45 minutes for afternooon and evening, that’s, uh… 5 hours 15 minutes, and I got to morning prayers about an hour late. Lots of prayer. Tomorrow, by the by, is a fast day, ChinTsu!).
Ugh. I’m having anxiety attacks ’cause I have a test Friday. And Pwt is SO definately a boy, b/c he is wearing Egyptian traditional male garb. So there. Hahaaha. Grant, don’t start on me, that is not my evil laugh. And everyone who I scared by talking about how long I prayed, dont worry, because that is just on the New Year. Yaaay! it is the year 5766!
(so typically Phoenix. I just talk forEVER. Bye now!)

Ya’ll both complained about hot weather, and ebeth said something about just having moved south. What state do you live in? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, but I live down south, too, and I was wondering where ya’ll live. Like I said, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, but I’m curious, and I’m really not an internet stalker!

*notice strange looks* yeah. hehe ;-)*runs away*
Phoenix, can you tell me about the yeshiva u go to. I only know about them from In the Beginning, The Chosen, and The Promise.
I qualified for Advanced math, english, and science. yay. Math was getting REALLY boring. All the tests have been easy. So far…..
I also went to beaches on Maui. There was this little beach that was great for boogie boarding, which is like surf boarding exept the board is smaller and u lie on your stomach. Haleakala means house of the sun in Hawaiian. It was COLD up there. Almost 45 degrees F. Thats cold for Hawaii. In Hawaii, we have the same climate all year round. It rains alot in the fall. Normally, it stays at about 75 degrees F. We got to Maui just ahead of Tropical depression Kenneth. Thank goodness it wasn’t a hurricane any more.
That was my longest post. Sorry, but i just luv to spout random information. n_n

in October 6th, 2005 @ 14:35Okay, back to religion!
first, ChinTsu: What are The Beginning, The Chosen, and The Promise? Never heard of ’em. So basically, about my school, we have eight 45 minute periods on a normal day, and on Fridays we have four, so we can get home in time for Shabbat (Sabbath). We have four secular and four religious subjects (plus gym and onece a week Jewish History, which counts as secular).
We have Chumash and Navi (sections of the Old Testament, or Torah to us, because, in case anyone didn’t know, that is our bible). We have Gemarah, or the Oral Law (as in, explains the Torah law) and Ivrit, which is the Hebrew word for, well, Hebrew. It’s launguage studies, not Jewish laws. We also have English, math, science (physics–aaaagh!) and Social Studies. We have prayer twice a day, but it’s short. My teachers are just as evil as everyone elses.
Now Mirjana: I am Jewish by nationality, just also by religion–not even heritage! I am an Israeli, really–I lived there for, like, the first half of my life, and my Grandma converted to Judism. I have REALLY mixed blood– I have Cherokee Indian, Italian, Swedish, you name it.
We also get off for Christmastime because the bus drivers can’t come.

in October 6th, 2005 @ 15:09Oh, my! ohmyohmyohmy! This religion rant just reminded me: I totaly forgot to mention that today is Tzom Gedalya!
Here is the story: (by the way, I wouldn’t know all the detail had I just not had J.H. the other day.):
Sumaria invaded the Middle East. Malchut Yisrael had already been scattered, so they went right to Malchut Yehuda. For some odd reason, Yehuda decided to rebel, which was pretty dumb because they were this tiny weeny country. So Sumaria came in and put Jerusalem under siege, and after almost a year, when the people were almost all dead from starvation, they destroyed the walls and went up to the Temple Mount. Now the Jews realized the Temple was going to be destroyed, and the ones that were still alive went up to defend it. But they were weak and finally the Sumarians came in and destroyed the Beit Hamikdash–the Temple. This totaly broke the Jewish spirit. They captured everyone and deported them to Babylon. Anyway, each of these sieges, and the day Jerusalem and the Temple fell, are fast days in the summer. Tisha B’Av, Shiva-Asar B’Tamuz, are these fasts. So the Sumarians left about 500 or so Jews out of millions in Judea, and set up a governor– Gedalya. He was a Jew, so the Babylonians were being nicer than most conquering countries, but since they destroyed the Temple they are still not the people most Jews wanted to be ruled by at this point.
There was this one guy who claimed to be of the line of David. Traditionally, all the kings of Judea were from David, so this guy wanted to be king. So he came one day and murdered Gedalya. The Sumarians were NOT happy because they had appointed Gedalya, so they sent everyone to Babylon. This is a fast day because it marks the final exile from Israel, and because it was so horrible to think a man could murder his friend just for power. It is not the longest fast, but still long enough that we get a half day (yay!).Out of a whim, here is the song that the Jews sand in Babylon (translated, of course):
We sat by the rivers of Babylon and wept there as we recalled Zion.We hung our harps on sunken willows, for our captors there demanded song, and our tormentors teased joy: “sing to us from the music of Zion!” But how could we sing a song of the Lord on strange soil?
Oh, Jerusalem, if I forget you, may my right hand fall lame! My toungue should lock to my palate if I do not cherish your memory–If I do not raise Jerusalem to the pinnacle of my happiness. Lord, alert the children of Edom, who that day in Jerusalem cried, “destroy, destroy, to its very foundation!”: pilliged daughter of Babylon, how would it be if you were repaid in kind, someone grabbing and dshing your children against the rock?

i don’t really live too far south, just in ohio, but it still feels way hot. except today it was cooler…oh yah and except in geometry class…the a/c in there is just crazy…brrrr…
why do people say brrr when they get cold anyway? (ooh! Q&A question! heehee! can our GREAT AND POWERFUL AND OH-SO COOL ADMINS (sry that’s my new name for you guys) answer that? plz?)
wow i feel special cuz i can actually understand you guys about the religion stuff. there weren’t a lot of jewish people in GR but there are in bexley, and i swear i learned more in the first couple days there than in all the culture things we used to do…pretty cool stuff (what i learned, not the little culture celebrate differences stuff, that was pretty stupid-no offense if by some amazing chance somebody actually happened to be on here who helped w/those things) now i forgot what i was talking about. :-o*sulk* i hate it when that happens. hoom. ok i’m just gonna leave then. yay off to the next thread to ramble some more…

in October 6th, 2005 @ 19:26I know why people make the brr sound!
they either shake their head when they make the sound
or
they yell burr! because they have one in their armpit and that really hurts.

in October 6th, 2005 @ 20:42Hi Phoebe TARFFTHATDMOAYP,
How about if you use initials to refer to your glorious monarchedelic title? Just an idea — because if you spell it all out it takes up so much space there’s no room left in the “recent comments” column for a single word of your pronouncements. And that’s a major bummer.

in October 6th, 2005 @ 21:22Pheebs, I LOVE your new name! Major cool, but I suggest you bring it down to initials as well. I can’t tell what you wrote on the most recent posts thing…
New topic time!
I just was looking for pics of wolves so I could study the anatomy and learn to draw them. I ran into a site like Pheebs’, except it had wolven charecters. So I looked about, and now I understand why my dad dosn’t like me to surf: THAT SITE WAS DISGUSTING! It was so nasty, I was too embarrased to stay for more than 30 seconds. Do NOT go there!

I am not copying anyone’s idea about giving themselves lavish titles, I didn’t even know there was an Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman!!! It was my own original idea, and anyone who did it before me just copyed me using the magic of this parrelel unverse to find out I was going to do it! This is clearly the way it is, what could be more obvious? (Remember everyone, I’m the Queen, my word is law.)

A question for multilingual musebloggers: How do you express feeling cold in a language other than English?

Queen Of This Alternate Universe, And Therefore More Important, And Wonderful, Than That Nasty Imposter, Phoebe, Who Is About To Find Out What The Wrath Of A Queen Can Do, MontgomeryGurl
in October 7th, 2005 @ 11:40Today is so nice outside!!!! It’s really cold, and I’m going to have to wear a sweater!! That may not sound like much to you puny subjects, but a day this cool before December is very rare here in Louisiana. There has only been one other day all year, from May on, that was not actively hot, and that day wasn’t really cold, either. I’m just upset that I have to do school today!! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!! *sniff* Too bad I only rule this alternate universe, because I have so many great ideas for the other world! Like, the arrival of a new Muse magazine at the home of any Muse subscriber is a national holiday, and on days as nice as this one kids can choose to stay home.
There is this girl in debate who disagrees with me about the resolution, and who isn’t as smart as she thinks she is, but other than that we’re the same in every other way!!! Our names start with the same two letters, we both like some classic books, and we like the same music!!! How weird is that? But, we were talking about music, and it got me thinking about something….
As QOTAUATMIAWTTNIPWIATFOWTWOAQCD MontgomeryGurl, I am making the official proclomation that we should talk about music. (Pleeeeaaaaase??? Pretty please??)
My favorite bands are Relient K, Switchfoot, Thousand Foot Krutch, and any other rock, hardrock, heavy metal, punkrock or rock/pop bands. ANy one disagree with me on this subject?

in October 7th, 2005 @ 17:43I unfortunatly live in Texas, and it FINALLY got cold today.
We had a homecoming pep rally today at school, which was in the morning so I couldn’t go home, alas. It was stupid.
I was just reading (skimming) Emily of New Moon the other day, and I realized the last line was actually “I am going to write a DAIRY, so it may be published when I die.” I always thought it said diary before! I like it a lot better this way, though.
anyway I go take a walk because it is nice outside.

That is so cool, because I actually named myself after L. M. Montgomery!!! The coincidences are piling up to the point that this is just scary! What part of Texas do you live in? I live in the norther portion of Louisiana, you know, the part that got hit by Hurricane Rita. We had so many limbs in our yard the day after it hit! You know, it’s really funky, Katrina knocked out our power for an hour, but no limbs came down, and the electricity didn’t go off at all with Rita! Weird….

Also, if you are posting try not to post a really short post saying “sorry” or “hi” or something like that. Posting twice in a row is also a little confusing so you could just post everything you want to say in one post. It is just easier to read that way. Also this place is getting really hard to keep up with. I miss the Gaboomba… It was very easy to keep up with.

I did my speech report on tenrecs in summer school. I think I said that already here though. No, wait, that was still on the Gaboomba. Yeah, I agree with E~A that all the name changes, etc are tricky to keep up with.. Maybe could you please try to restrict yourself to one name every few weeks, MG?

in October 9th, 2005 @ 13:20A ton of these people have now said they don’t like it when you call yourself “PotterHaterGurl.” My sister suggests “PottyMouthGirl”, but you don’t have to listen to her, it’s fine to agree with Julietaini about Harry Potter, but Julietaini, as I recall, mentioned she didn’t enjoy Harry Potter, but she was polite about it. So quit it.

PotterHaterGurl
in October 9th, 2005 @ 15:10I actually didn’t make a big deal about it, except for the temporary name change, which will be over tomorrow. I really just did it to bug everybody, so maybe you should just ignore it. Oh, my parents wouldn’t let me read HP, even if I wanted to which I don’t. Allright, I will just say this once, and then I am not responding to anymore Potter related comments. I am a Christian, and I believe that all witchcraft and talk of witchcraft is inerrently bad. I am not saying that all people who read Harry Potter will want to cast spells and stuff, but that isn’t the point. The point is that they glorify something I believe is evil. And some people will want to be witches because of the series. I know this because after the first movie came out, someone set up a hotline in England for kids who wanted to learn how to be witches, and thousands of kids called. Now that I have said that, I am officially dropping the name and every other thing to do with HP. I don’t want to heat nasty comments because of this post, I am just making my position clear, once and for all. I am not conemning anyone who reads them, I am just saying that I won’t because of that. Now can we please drop the subject?

Also, kind of related, is anyone in robotics? I was last year and the year before but I’m not now because at the high school it’s an after school club and I don’t have any time.. I really wanted to join Young Democrats this year, but it meets on Wednesday afternoons, and I have my violin lesson on Wednesdays.. And all my friends keep trying to get me to join Latin club..

in October 9th, 2005 @ 15:29Oh, and one more thing. I actually have no opinion on HP itself, it’s the concept of a series of books about a boy who is training to be a sorcerer that I disaprove of. And the name thing, and all the previous posts about HP had nothing to do with the fact that I hate the concept of them. I just did that to make everyone mad and go against the mainstream. If everyone on this site had talked about how much they loved Lichtenburg, and Julietaini had posted something very courageous about how she doesn’t like Lichtenburg, I would have gone all the way with that subject, too. It wa just a random thing, and the fact that I hapen to hate HP’s very basis was really just a coincedince. Really! All right, can we pretend that the whole Harry Potter thing never hapened? Please don’t hate me for writing this. It is just something that I believe. Don’t take it personally, please.

I have posted several things, and they haven’t been moderated yet, even though it’s been awhile since I posted them. No one else’s comments are getting approved, either. Of course, that could just be because no one is writing any, but I suspect differently. Come on Muse administrator people, wake up and start moderating!!!!!!!!!

Actually, you’ve all been receiving unusually fast service this month. Don’t get spoiled! This is a blog, not a chatroom, and approvals won’t always come right away–especially on holiday weekends when moderators may want to spend time playing with their nieces and nephew and going out to see The Corpse Bride. In general, fewer and longer comments might help to minimize frustration.

in October 9th, 2005 @ 22:13No one wants to hibernate with me? Phoo. Fine. I’ll post my recipe for perfect hibernation up here anyway:
1. Finish all of winter homework.
2. Eat a lot. I mean, a lot. Even if you gain a ton, don’t worry, you’ll thin up during hibernation.
3. Get a lot of warm blankets, teddy bears, spare food, etc., and find a nice comfy place where you won’t get any cramps whilst hibernating.
4.Eat a lot of bendryl.
5. If you’ve ever gotten that stuff that puts you to sleep during a teeth pulling or something, they sometimes let you keep the litle masky thing. It might have some stuff in it still, so sniff it regularly.
6. Settle down and sleep.If you awake from hunger or untiredness, eat some benadryl and food, use the bathroom, and go back to bed.

in October 9th, 2005 @ 22:41I feel like I shouldn’t post this and make things even harder fo the Muse administrator people, but I really want to, and I will try to write everything I want to say in it.
Phoebe, I would never hybernate through winter, as it is the only time when I actually like the weather around here! It’s hot all the time, and I would never waste the only precious months of coolness by sleeping!!
I really am sorry about posts 129,131,132. I didn’t know ya’ll were out doing your non-Muse administrator people stuff, and I kthought maybe something was wrong since everything was taking so long. I kind of forgot you guys existed outside the blog. I wouldn’t have minded if you had told me where you were going! Maybe next time you could post something? Like, just tell us you’re leaving so us newbies who don’t know what the Average Moderation Time is don’t get worried. Thank you, I will try not to post more on this thread untill I have something worth posting.

in October 9th, 2005 @ 23:30Aw, MG, now I feel bad for making you self-conscious and discouraged. Moderating posts really isn’t hard for Rosanne and me. It’s fun, and we’re both online enough to keep things moving pretty fast most of the time. But sometimes we do take breaks, so…don’t worry if the blog slows down once in a while, that’s all.
And do keep posting, please. We love to read comments, even silly ones. Especially the silly ones, sometimes.
–Robert
P.S. One thing you (all) should know is that the Fan Page and MuseBlog are not officially connected with Muse. The magazine doesn’t sponsor the blog and doesn’t pay Rosanne and me to administer it. Nobody does! We’re here for the same reason you are: because we like Muse and Musers. So when we take an afternoon off, we’re not really walking off the job. (In fact, sometimes we’re walking onto the job because we need to work on our Q&A column–the one thing the magazine does pay us to do.)

in October 10th, 2005 @ 20:32I suppose everyone is busy doing homework, or something. It’s really a shame, to, because normally everyone is yelling at me to let them on the computer, or let them use the phone, or to go get some fresh air for heaven’s sakes, but my brothers and my dad are gone, and my mom is busy so I have free reign of the computer. Why is it that when this once-in-my-whole-blogging-career-which-has-been-exactly-six-days opportunitycomes along, everyone is busy? Come on, Musers!!!!!
To Phoebe: (You can put away the Hot Pink Bunnies, I won’t bring that up!) I enjoy blogging with you, and I think you are smart, funny and probably run a great site. Sorry about the wars. I hope we can move past that and be good blogging buddies again.

in October 10th, 2005 @ 21:34Hello! Sitting here listening to Kutless go on about the strong tower, ( D_Q: You didn’t mention Kutless or Creed in your favorite bands. Do you like them? What about my personal favorite, Third Day? You need to answer this!) and I just thought I should amuse myself somehow, so random comments are going to get spewed on to this thread.
Why is ebeth always going on about chocolate? I’ve had hardly any in the last several months.
Why is everyone gone? Is there some big Muse party I wasn’t invited to? I feel so left out. My existence means nothing now because I have concocted a bizarre theory about where everyone is. I think I might cry.
How come hardly any of the people in the “Who’s Here” section actually post things? I’m totally addicted to this site, and I don’t think I could make it six days without checking up om my now-beloved MuseBlog. Maybe they’re all lurking, but how can they stand to see al theseincredibly interesting things being posted and not respond? If anyone is lurking out there, please come on right now! I know this isn’t chat, but I want to talk to someone!
What is Phoenix’s real name? This one has been bugging me for a while….
Does anyone else love fried okra? It’s my favorite vegetable and now that I’m SOTWIAE I think I’ll post a random comment about it.
Wooooooo!!!! Getting really random, really random, really random!!!
*MG gets on* Sorry about that. I didn’t know she was on here, or I would have stopped her.

She also sends her sympathy to the poor deprived child who hasn’t had chocolate in several months and tells everybody to try organic chocolate which she just tried a little while ago and found incredibly yummy. she offers no explanation to why she’s talking in 3rd person.

in October 11th, 2005 @ 13:55I have a question for the Muse administrator people: Sometimes a post will say “real name censored” but how do you know that’s the person’s real name? Like, what if I was to say here that my real name Jaquiline Throrp, would you censor it? That’s actually not my real name! (Or maybe it is, you don’t know!) What if someone just drops a name in conversation, like Allison Gretts might do, do you censor that? What if I wanted to change my name to Rachel Wildred, would you let me? And that name on RRF’s post, do you know for sure that wasn’t just a nickname? Why do you just censor it, instead of using those awesome Hot Pink Bunnies? Are you going to delete all the names I used in this post? None of them are my real name. (Or maybe they all are!) If you do censor them, could you use Hot Pink Bunnies? Thank you, that all Breanna Woodruff has to say.

There’re a LOT of things coming out in the next month that I REALLY want to buy — A Series of Unfortunate Events book 12 (ONE WEEK!!!!), Dawn Escapes (Falling Up), Wicked: The Grimmerie, Apathetic EP (Relient K), and Ducktales & on DVD — so I can’t exactly go out and spend a bunch of money on random CDs.

in October 11th, 2005 @ 21:05ebeth, Zyviva is NOT my alter ego! I do not HAVE a blog alter ego! Zyviva is my best friend at school! (well, one of three.) there is a DIFFERANCE!
here is some backround info on Zyviva so you won’t risk death by dagger again by suggesting she is me:Zyviva is the screenname for my friend. It is the name the charecter ‘Zyviva’ comes from in DRAGONSEYE. She is a genius–literaly. I am not making this up. Her nicknames in school include “the math goddess”, “the human spider”, “spidie”, and, of course, Zyviva. She has a sense of humor, but do NOT call her Zyvvie if you want to see daylight again. Like Phoenix, hates racism and sexism. Writer. Devestatingly and deliciously evil.
quotes: “what’s the fun of that?!?” “yes, and isn’t that just lovely?” “no you don’t, you’re just saying that to make me feel better.”
PLEASE do not accuse her of being me again!

in October 11th, 2005 @ 21:11I really don’t know why a recipe has to wait for modration.
You know, I’m really obsessed about going to Ireland, Greece, Rome, italy, germany, England and that new Target down by Perkins (which is a really nasty restaurant in my opinion.). I love history. I’m going to travel back in time and live in Greece and then Rome and then Italy and then England, but not Deutchland.
You give me a Greek god and I can tel you (most likely anyway) who they are married to, who their kids are and what they are in control of. i think my favorite one is Aphrodite. She is so cool. She’s married to Hephaestus, the ugly crippled smith god.
I used to be really obsessed with ancient Egypt. I still find it muy interesante but not as exciting as Greece. does anyone share my facination? I love it all. But I do find the marrying your sister and having babies with your other sister kink of creepy… and gross. But I’m not judging anybody. Though I do judge the Mart of Wall. they are one of the top users of sweat shops. It disgusts me.
You know, I really like winter. Where I live, you;d think it would be typical that every body worships winter. it just so happens that there are a ton of things to do in the winter. and our accent. The yah shur you betchas. i have never heard any body say that unless they were exagerating our accent. No I do not live in Canada. I will give ten points to the person who can guess which state I live in. if that’s Allowed.
There was a shadow at school today! It’s where an eighth grader comes and follows a freshman around for the day. Ten points for the person who can guess what CDH stands for. If that’s Allowed.

in October 11th, 2005 @ 23:21I never liked ancient Egypt. They were really a horrible society, what with all that human sacrifice. I always get pretty bored with ancient societies, too. I don’t know why, they just never have floated my boat.

in October 11th, 2005 @ 23:42MG,
Human sacrifice was very rare in ancient Egypt. Some of the earliest kings (prehistoric and First Dynasty) may have ritually executed prisoners of war and apparently took a few servants with them when they died, but the practice was never widespread, and there’s no evidence of it during thousands of years of ancient Egyptian history. Maybe you’re thinking about the Aztecs? Now, they were nasty customers (as Paul Baker might say).

in October 11th, 2005 @ 23:54Okay, I had no idea what I was talking about, I ws just sort of randomly dissing the Egyptians because they hold no interest fo me. Maybe I think they were a horrible society because I keep on hearing about the Isrealites being kept in slavery. I did think that they did that thing where they would kill all the servants of the king, and bury them with him, and sometimes his wife, or was that someone else?

in October 12th, 2005 @ 14:29actually, MontgomoryGurl, that practice is called suttee, sometimes practiced in anciant India, in which when an imporatant man died, they would get all his wives together on a big wooden alter and burn them alive. Lovely cumstom, huh?
Plus, the Anciant Egyptians, although certainly not the nicest people in the world, were one of the better anciant peoples, and really advanced for thier time. However, the Pharoes themselves were not very nice at all. King Akenahten IV insited that everyone all of a sudden out of nowhere worship Ahten, the sun disk, or they would die a very grusome death. So diplomatic, doncha think? (note: when I went to verify my facts with my dad, who is a major Egyptologist aside from everything else, gave me a lecture about all of Akenahten’s wives, sons, forebears, and all the forms of worship and names of the sun gods, and how they were merged into the sund-disk, and thier national orgins. Whew!)
Anyway, about the Isrealite slavery, they escaped after 200 years, and this is evident because I am on this blog. Slaves aren’t allowed to read science/culture/mathematics magazines, especially ones with Koko, b/c then masters would be bannana-pied every time they gave an order. By the by, the movie Prince of Egypt, while basically accurate and a good movie, is not ENTIRELY accurate. Read the book of Shemos if you want to learn more.

Tommorow is Yom Kippur, and I’m fasting so i get 2 stay home. And there’s no school on Friday.(yay)
There are ten gazilion Egyptian Gods anyway, and they have all these different forms and are identified with one another. MG u shouldn’t dis things that u have no idea about, cause that’s predudiced. And there were alot of other slaves in Egypt too.

It’s pretty pathetic, but we Americans can’t make any popular foods right. All those foods that people like like hamburgers and hot dogs, well, they aren’t American. In fact, in Germany, hot dogs were made when men sold hot dogs in carts. They were orginally called hot daschuns, those long dogs that are so cute! Well, people started to think that hot dogs had daschun meat in them, so they just called the hot dogs, and in the 60’s they started using the phrase “Hot Diggety Dog” as a phrase of excitement. That’s an oldie, but maybe one day you may just hear it again.

in October 15th, 2005 @ 21:33Excerpt from a Google Article:
History of American Cheese: Years ago, there were companies who were manufacturing and cutting all kinds of cheeses. When you produce cheese and cut it in to uniform shapes and sizes, there are a certain amount of cheese trimmings which are left over. One day a cheese maker decided to utilize the trimmings to make a new type of cheese. He threw all of the trimmings in to the cooker (American Cheese is cooked or processed), added some barrel cheddar for consistency and sliceability, added some moisture (water) for meltability, and voila . . . American Cheese! This was a great day in Cheese as it gave all of the cheese makers a place to use their trimmings.Disgusting.

Not really. But gut strings aren’t very good anyway if you’re not playing baroque style, or so I’ve heard- they don’t stay in tune and they apparently don’t project very well.
And I just spent ten minutes tuning my violin. Because I changed my strings, so they’d be nice and fresh for my auditions. I use Dominants, and those take a few days to break in, so I change them a week in advance. But now my fiddle goes out of tune every few minutes. Eh, it will wear in soon.

in October 16th, 2005 @ 05:24Time to gross you out, as I believe the colonial saying goes.
I, along with most makers of historical instruments, still use what is now called “animal glue” – ie. boiled down bits of animals. You can’t get the different specific types now – Hoof & Horn, rabbit, fish, etc. because the market isn’t big enough. But it does have major advantages over modern glues. It’s stronger than anything science has come up with, it doesn’t creep under pressure like PVA, and it’s reversible. If a bar under your soundboard ever comes detached, you can unglue the whole soundboard, fix it and glue it back good as new, even after 200 years. Try that with epoxy.
It’s the same with strings. Modern strings, and modern instruments generally, are designed to be LOUD (and brash and characterless). They call it “projection” to be polite. It’s necessary when you’re playing to 2000 people in a huge hall without amps, which they insisted on doing in the 19th century. Real music happens live, ina smallish room, with an audience of 150 tops. But then, I’m just opinionated.

in October 16th, 2005 @ 05:49So, what sorts of cheeses can you actually get over there? I get the impression that it’s Cheddar or Amercan Generic, which sounds revolting.
Most supermarkets over here stock at least a dozen varieties of European cheese, with more coming on stream every month as suppliers discover how to scale up production to meet the insatiable demads of Wal-Mart, who have taken over our Asda chain.
The standard list would be Cheddar (in various varieties, incuding applewood smoked), Cheshire, Stilton (Blue, white and apricot contaminated), Wensleydale (very popular following the Wallace and Gromit films), Red Leicester, Double Gloucester, Caerphilly. Then the imports – Brie, Camembert, Gorgonzola, Emmental, Gruyere, some French herby garlicky stuff, Jarlsberg, Gouda, the ubiquitous Edam (yuk), and German soft smoked. Then there are the newcomers like Greek Feta and Port Salut. My favourite is Tome de Savoie, but you need a real specialist shop for that.
So, does the Richest Country In the World get decent cheese then?

in October 16th, 2005 @ 13:56Asda was the biggest supermarket chain in Britain. It’s been bought out by wal-Mart and overtaken by Tesco, who do very good profiteroles.
Edam is a mild, semi-hard cheese from Holland that comes in big spheres coated in red wax, or black for the real top quality stuff. It’s not to my taste, but a lot of people like it.
Ebeth – your dad’s favourite is Cheddar because he knows no different. Pester him to take you to a cheese importer and educate him. And tell him to watch a real game like cricket, instead of pathetic soccer.

in October 22nd, 2005 @ 19:37hehe. I’m thirteen, ebeth… do the math. (I didn’t get skipped or held back or summat.)
eeehh… I like the Oompa Loompa song, in passing. We do plays in school, but no musicals, because both girls and boys perform and girls arn’t allowed to sing non-religious stuff in front of boys. Even though boys are allowed to sing in front of girls for some reason… I have no clue why. My dad and my rabbi say it’s because girls are more focused, and boys have trouble keeping thier eyes to themselves, which is true, but it still isn’t fair! I am a good singer, butt I can’t perform. I have a friend who told me at his camp they did The Princess Bride. He said it was fun, but he was Westly and he had to kiss Buttercup (they allow that in his school but not mine…yuuuch!) and he said he did NOT like it. They did thier own stunts, and they had to learn the acrobatics and fencing and all… cool, huh?

in October 22nd, 2005 @ 22:01I just thought I should post something because I’ve been sort of, well, LURKING for the last several days. I just wanted to get back to posting.
I have a speach and debate conference week after next. it’s four days, and I get that many off of school, even though one day is a Saturday, because we have to allow one day for travel. I’m going to be going down with three other girls, and while I’m not good friends with two of them, it should be fun.
I got some new CD’s, I’m procrastinating, and I am supposed to read some peoms soon, so I have some other threads to visit.

i know people who’s moms let them skip though. which is really weird because they’re the ones that always go to skool. the people who’s moms don’t let them skip are the ones always trying to get out of it. (like me
)the princess bride rocks. that would be sooo cool to do that! but we’re doing the odd couple.
male+female versions.it’s ok i guess. and guys and dolls for our musical.phoenix yous 8th grade? or 7th? or 9th? when’s ur b-day anyway? i’m really bad at guessing grades based on ages. probably 8th right?
i just woke up peoples. be kind to me.

in October 23rd, 2005 @ 11:18Remember umpteen years ago, at the beginning, Muse did an article called “Roald Dahl books into movies”? It showed the Roald Dahl books and then it showed the movie productions that had been made. The one about “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” had this particularly amusing passage that said “‘The Candy Man’ has to be one of the most horrible songs ever written and you can’t get the dreadful ‘Oompa-Loompa’ song out of your head no matter how hard you try.” They were as right back then as they are now.

maybe i’ll go as a llama. hoom… or a choklit bar!!!
or…maybe…ooh! a computer!!!! whee!!ok krissy-how to use italics
1. Buy a computer
2. Argue with random people and make them fix it first. There is no way you’re gonna get a computer that works perfectly on the first try.
3. Get on the internet.
4. Go to https://musefanpage.com/blog
5. Pick a thread. Any thread.
6. Type in a random crazy comment to start off.
7. Press the key
10. Type in a random crazy comment that you want italicized
11. Press the key again.
15. Wait…wait…wait for the GAPAs…
16. Come back and take a look at your lovely italicized comment.yes i am veeery bored.

in October 23rd, 2005 @ 17:03Ratchet and Clank is acknowledged by me as the best game series ever. It features a Lombax (sort of a bipedal catlike furry alien) and a little robot who acts as a jetpack for Ratchet who run around and blow $#!+ up. It is a platforming type game.
I have been getting Muse since pretty close to the beginning. The first issue I got was the one that had the cow on the front and had an article about slaughterhouses and vegetarians and stuff.

in October 23rd, 2005 @ 20:15In Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando there was a weapon called the Sheepinator which turned your enemies into sheep. In each of the progressive RC games there has been a weapon which turned your opponents into farm animals. I will now list them, followed by the animal they transformed things into. RC: Morph-o-ray, chickens. RC: Going Commando: Sheepinator, sheep. RC: Up your Arsenal: Qwack-o-ray, ducks. Fans are now awaiting the fourth RC game, especially me.

I never got the show, the humor was pretty stupid and the plot lines were predictable. And it wasn’t even like it was so bad it was funny, if you wan’t to see something like that watch Drake and Josh on Nickelodeon (I think), it was just plain bad!!! Okay, maybe I’m insane for getting upset about something written months ago on a different forum. You’ve grown up now and see the error of your ways, right?
I ahve to memorize a speech to give tomorrow afternoon. I have to practice delivering it after I memorize it, so I really shouldn’t even be on here. Oh well.

Tomight my church youth group is having a game night. We get to come a half an hour earlier than usual and eat pizza. I don’t know what they’re planning on having us do after that, but I’m hoping they’ll just let us sit around and talk. I hope they won’t make me play any games. I just had a terrible thought!!!! What if my friends WANT to play games? Surely they’re smarter than that!!!!! Of course, you never know about people, they seem so normal, and then *WAMMO* one day you find out that they like to play games in church youth groups. I think all the meaning would go out of life if that happened. (I joking, I promise)

As the games store I go to is near there, I went with my money to get it, only to find out that that was the day they shipped it out from the bloody company. So here I am, waiting for it to be in the store.

in October 26th, 2005 @ 21:14Oh, so THAT’S what you were talking about on Pheeb’s game, Grant! you had me confused there.
MontgomoryGurl, you are SO lucky your church youth group gets you piza. My junior NCSY occasionally sends us somewhere good, like snow tubing, but mostly we just go to the shul where they feed us disgusting cafeteria food and the moderators perform dumb skits and play guitar at us. At least they don’t make us dance; Phoenix does many things, BUT DANCING IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

in October 26th, 2005 @ 23:37Okay, I have a sort of funny story!!! I was at youth group, and I was there early so no one I knew was there yet. I wasn’t going to go into the gym and hang around with a bunch of people I didn’t know, so I was kind of wandering around waiting for my friends to show up. Well there’s this guy who hangs around the youth group sometimes. He’s the assistant pastor’s son, and he’s like 22 years-old. Well, anyway, he’s like incredibly out-going, nice to everyone, always talking to people and all that stuff, almost scarily so. I was honestly sort of avoiding him, and everyone else, and I walked outside because I felt like total dweeb hanging around by a wall inside. I was talking to myself, like I always do when I’m in social situations where I’m avoiding everyone, and I turned around and he, the 22 year-old scarily-out-going guy, was standing in the doorway of the church and he was giveng me a really funky look. You know how some times people say someone was looking at them strangely, but it was all really just a product of their self-centered imagination? This isn’t one of those times. He was looking right at me, and he the look said clearly that he thougt I should be in an asylum or two. It also had this sort of note of disbelief in it, like he couldn’t believe some girl would actually hold a conversation with herself. So, anyway, pointless story, except now he thinks I’m a total freak, and I am, but only online. I keep on snickering when I think of what must have been running through his mind at that moment. *snickersnickergigglelaugh* Sorry if you didn’t really care about that story, I wanted to post it.

in October 27th, 2005 @ 09:52I'm just making a random post, I really have nothing to say, so if you value your sanity you should probably stop reading if you don't like stuff that's stupid.Is anyone going to see the new Zorro movie? I'm not, but it looks sort of interesting, and I was wondering if anybody really had the urge to go, or if I was a freak. I mean. I know I'm a freak, but I was hoping not in this area. I would have posted this under "Books and Movies", but no one ever goes there anymore.
I think my mom thinks I'm spending way too much time on here. I'm trying to convince her that I'm actually practicing my typing, and that therefore she should let me stay on all the time, but I don't think It's going over too well.
I have speech and debate today. I still don't have my speech perfectly memorized, but I'm close and it won't take long to finish. I'll get on that as soon as I get off of here (famous last words).
Wow, that didn't take me long at all to type!!!!!! I've gotten a lot better at typing since I started coming here. Before it was kind of pitiful, and now I don't know what it's like.
In case you're wnodering, I made my post look like this by putting the word "code" in between "greater than" and "less than" signs . If I wanted to stop writing in this font, I would put a slash before the word code inside the thingies and it would stop.

i haven’t been to a movie theater in ages…
gonna try ur
font now it's way cool. rock onur green font is actually a link to the top of the page btw. didn’t know if u knew…
my mom knows i spend way to much time on here. actually, for her, five minutes a day is too long if you’re not on microsoft word. typing and emailing work stuff are the only comp joys in her life. i feel sorry for her
but she doesn’t know exactly how much time. see i say, “hey mom i have hw today” and drag the comp off to my room (her laptop i mean-the imac still has it’s internet messed up. plus it’s kinda hard to drag an imac up to your room every day) anyhoo she says “ok” and off goes the comp. then i take breaks from my hw.heehee. you know, taking a break actually gets your mind going again sometimes!
it’s true.

in October 27th, 2005 @ 16:36It’s in! I’m so psyched! Today marked the founding of my club, the Ministry of Amusing Enterprises. I did the rules yesterday and me, along with my other 2 founders, signed it. The founding committee is: Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Grant O., Makhlook S., and Travis N. Neither of them get Muse so don’t expect to see them on here.

in October 28th, 2005 @ 09:36Hhhhmmmm. Sounds like I’m not the only one on this site whose super analytical. Not that anyone said I was, or anything, I just wanted to point out that it wasn’t just me. Let’s see, with Phoenix’s riddle it was mainly Rosanne and me, but Ebeth did some. I guess it must just be a Muse thing, because none of my friends do, though my entire family does, or maybe it’s in the genes? Anyway, I just got into a whole thing I probably shouldn’t have, so ignore it if you’re thinking that I’m probably insane. I am, but this doesn’t prove it. Anyway, us super analyzers will one day take over the world, if our friends don’t kill us first!!!! Sorry this post was weird.

in October 28th, 2005 @ 18:53Hi, guys.
Just apologising for absence. Went down with a bug. Just the usual coldish shivery thing. Not bird flu, despite my recent chickenised state. Anyway, it’s put my schedules back a few days, and I have clients wanting things doing (they’re inconvenient people, clients), so I might be absent for another stretch. Tell you what – write my Museblog posts for me. See if you can serve up an appropriate degree of lunacy. My next major task is to go and look at a submerged pathway in a bog. That might give you few ideas.

We only have to beat one other team and we’ll be the district champions!!!!!! I fwe can beat this team again, we might win the state championship. The state high-school championships are usually played in the Super-Dome, but obviously that won’t happen this year. My brother’s pretty upset about it, because he wanted to be able to tell all his friends in Mississippi that he played in the Super-Dome, but I guess there are worse things that can happen to you in life, right?

in October 29th, 2005 @ 11:31K/K,
Type “i” where you want the italics to start and “/i” (slash-i) where you want the italics to stop. Put both the “i” and the “/i” between angle brackets (i.e., a less-than sign on the left and a greater-than sign on the right). In other words,
less-than + i + greater-than + word + less-than + /i + greater-than = word.

in October 29th, 2005 @ 11:50word, dude, seriously.
Anyway, all-state auditions were today, and I pwned them… I only messed up a bit on the tremolo thingy at the beginning of the last cut and my vibrato wasn’t as lush as usual on the first cut, but other than that I was pretty good!!!! AND I DIDN”T GET NERVOUS!!! See, last year on the Region auditions I was in 8th grade and I freaked out really badly in the auditions and didn’t do so well, but this year I haven’t been getting nervous!!! And so all I have to do now is wait until next weekend (:-/) and see if I made it..
I really hope I did… there’s never been a freshman violinist to make it from my school…

It was from a girl that I thought was pretty normal, but at the beginning she said “who knows, maybe I’ll get lucky!!!” At the bottom it said “this letter has been going since 1865, and you don’t want to break hte chain,” so I deleted it and felt really good about breaking the chain!!!

in October 31st, 2005 @ 18:09We used to turn off the lights and all that, but since we moved we don’t live in a neighborhood and we don’t have to worry. I mean, no one is going to go trick-or-treating on a highway!!! Anyway, the kids aren’t supposed to go to houses where the porch lights aren’t on, so it shouldn’t matter whether or not they can tell if your home, just if you leave you outside lights on.

in October 31st, 2005 @ 18:38It’s a religious thing that hardly any non-Christians understand, and would take a long time to type out, and I’m too lazy to try. It has to do with the origins of Halloween, and all that stuff. We just never have given out candy, and I doubt we ever will.

in October 31st, 2005 @ 19:08I know about it! Halloween was frist known as All-Hallow’s Eve, a Paegan holiday where they said spirits would take you away and ghosts roam and all that stuff, so you wore hideous masks to frighten them away (I don’t really get the logic of thet… I mean, they were ugly too, right? so wouldn’t they, I dunno, ask you out on a date or somthing?) Now, however, Halloween, or tecnically Hallowe’en, is just an American culture thing, or I guess an opportunity to worship the toilet god from eating all that candy. Even so, observant Christians don’t follow it (and neither do Jews, obviously.)

in October 31st, 2005 @ 19:38Thank you, Phoenix!!!!! I actually knew all that, but I was too lazy to type it. That thing about the masks was pretty funny!!! I don’t understand it either, but I hardly ever understand pagan religions. They were all pretty freaky from my point of view!!!!

in October 31st, 2005 @ 21:46*sigh* No one else is on here. Everyone is very busy with Halloween and stuff. I want someone to come!!!!!! I’m about to get bored!!!!! What was it Ebeth was doing? Rip, or someting like that? What is that?!!? Okay, all alone in the lovely MuseBlog, no one’s here. I would declare myself queen, but the last time I did that the whoel thing got out of hand. I’m bored, bored, bored. When will you trick-or-treaters be back? Where is Phoenix? Has the whole world abandoned me? I feel so alone.
I guess this is the last night for “October Surprise”!!! Tomorrow we get November’s random thread. I sure will miss this thread!! Okay, not really, because it got so long that no one ever posted on it!!!!! I think the next one will be better because I won’t have to scroll through 450 posts to see the response to mine.

in October 31st, 2005 @ 21:57well, my dad studies all these ancient cultures and whatnot, and he showed me how the Greek and Roman gods are based on people. they said they were gods, but really it was THEMSELVES! I guess it was an excuse to do all those horrible things the gods were always doing. like, “oh, I can murder because Hera murdered this dude…”

in October 31st, 2005 @ 21:59I just noticed that the “While You Were Out” thread is now closed for comments! I guess it makes sense, since the thread was started in early August, but the MAP only shut it down after I posted something there today. Guess you guys decided that you didn’t watn people going to obscure threads to post irrelevant drivel, you wanted it all here!!!! Just sometihng stupid I noticed.
