1. My favorite letter is in the Japanese Katakana alphabet: ム(Ne)
2. My favorite time of day is definitely the morning, because I’m a big “morning person.”
3. My least favorite chore is cleaning the dishes, and my favorite is setting the table.
4. I’m not exactly sure what my first news event was. I’ll have to think about that and get back to you! But one of the first big political/news things I was actually really involved in was the 2000 Presidential election. I did not understand the whole political issues going on in the world, but I did know what the major candidates thought, and I helped my parents pass out flyers/pins, etc.
22-
1-Um, I don’t know.
2-I like sunrise and sunset, although I am often a bit tired early in the morning. I just think those two times of day are beautiful.
3-Hmmm… I like most of my chores. I like seeing the result of cleaning. I guess I don’t like setting the table. The plates are already clean! I also do yard work (mowing he lawn, raking leaves).
4-I guess it would be around the time Clinton was president. The strongest memory I have was September 11th. Then watching video of the army dropping bombs in the night time. Anybody else see that on the news back then? It seemed big and scary.
1-Blue, Cat (:idea:)
3-Pop, Country, Rock (mostly)

New question: What’s your favorite section of the newspaper?

2. afternoon
3. weeding
4. I really don’t know. This’ll take some thought…
What computer game do you play most often?
For me it’s The Sims 2 or Civilization IV.
22- err… I like the tengwar (tolkien elvish) letter for s
twilight
hmm… I don’t know. Maybe cleaning my room. It takes forever to get any of it organized and then it all becomes messy again quickly. Other chores are something speedy and quick and rather sporadic as they happen when I’m asked.
the 2000 presidential elections then 9/11 then the 2004 presidential elections were the first that I was really interested in. I was aware of the 2000 ones and knew who the cantidates were, and knew which one I wanted to win (Gore, in case you wanted to know) and was aware of the tie but I didn’t really pay that much attention to the issues. I paid attention to the issues in 2004 and in 2008 I’ll be paying a ton of attention as aaah… I’ll be able to vote! It always surprises me and seems so soon and I’ll need to learn about cantidates and it all makes me so nervous but excited. 9/11 really affected me as it made me just want everyone to get along. for the first time I remember concretely thinking “why can’t there just be peace?”
22-
1. Omega (greek)
2. Lunch
3. Taking out trash
4. The Clinton intern scandal
red, green, or blue? Blue
cat or dog? dog
What genre of music do yall like?? Classic rock, jazz
CDs last bought/downloaded/put on computer? a wynton marsalis thing that wasn’t technically downloaded off a cd…it was sent to me over IM…but the last cd is so far back i don’t remember.
what languages do you speak? English, i pretend to speak latin (or i take the class, anyway), bit of elvish, started learning esperanto but didn’t have the time (this summer possibly?), and i pretend to speak spanish (i can say about five words and repeat stuff back at people. it works. sort of.)
math or spelling? Spelling pwnz math any day
Stupid Senseless Smiley Stories or Religions? They’re so different. I guess i’d have to say SSSS, because that was just too fun duuuuude
1. How did you find out about Muse? friend. first bought it from my cousin’s magazine sale
2. How did you find out about Museblog? Wandered by the website one day, as i did every couple months or so back then, and saw it.
1. What’s your favorite letter of the alphabet (any alphabet, any language)? Q. It’s just so cool.
2. What’s your favorite time of day? Oh, middle of the night. does that count? if not, just before night then.
3. What’s your least favorite household chore? When i have to wash the dishes by hand. especially after dad cooks and leaves crusty stuff all over the dishes and i have no clue what it is.
4. What’s the first national or international news event you remember, the one that made you aware of the outside world? Oh boy. Hard one. The elections i guess (i know, that’s what everybody’s saying, but it is) i’m sure i heard of some stuff before that, but that’s the major one i remember. Although the elections didn’t seem particularly important to me then. Interesting sure, but not very important. I was a fairly oblivious child. I guess 9/11 was the thing that really made me pay attention.
What’s your favorite number? 42. what else?
Strawberry, choklit, vanilla, or neapolitan ice cream? Choklit of course!
New question: What’s your favorite section of the newspaper? Well, Life i guess. Mein pater works at the newspaper, so he sends me random articles sometimes, and i don’t know from what section. I do like the comics. Most of my news is from newsweek or something. (yoder’s giving them away now too, and they’re easier to carry in your backpack than a newspaper. yeah, yoder gives away free newspapers/now newsweek. i have such cool teachers)
What computer game do you play most often? Well i don’t really have any. But the one i steal from my friends most often is Sims.
Luvverly q’s, all. Now i’ve got one for everymusery (hey, cricket’s got everybuggy, why should we fall behind?)
What’s your favorite genre? (books and/or movies, your choice) For me, i still love my fantasy, but mostly there’s been a definite switch over to sci-fi. It’s new. It’s interesting. It’s exciting. Fantasy’s really the same story over and over again. Not that that isn’t interesting too, to see how different authors deal with the story and add their own bits and characters, but most sci-fi is just so wildly different from anything else, even other sci-fi. And GAPA RC will probably kill me for excessive use of sci-fi. Or just laugh at me to death. But yeah, good times.

Entirely depends. Some days 5 hours, some days none. On average, maybe 1 or 2 hours. Virtually all is spent on MB, the remaining sliver on Google.

What’s your favorite genre? (books and/or movies, your choice) I like fantasy but lately I’ve been reading more urban fantasy. (yes, I know it sounds really similar…) Urban fantasy is fantasy set in modern times. I really enjoy reading it and how it shows how the little things in life count. ^_^

To be continued…..
poll:who do you think is the worse dictator:Kim Jong-il or Fidel Castro
Stalin
What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever gotten upset about?
Losing a chapstick.
52- Fidel Castro
53- I get upset about lots of ridiculous things.
How much time do you spend on the internet each day, and how much of that is on MB? As much as i can…which isn’t generally that much. But maybe a couple hours a day? On MB…well i haven’t been on for a while, but generally i just come, check, post, leave, mebbe come back later…i’d say about 10, 15, 20 min, depending. I don’t spend all that much time on any particular site, except maybe KoL, because i’ve got so many sites to split up in that time.
New Poll: Which president is better, Harrison or Washington? I don’t know anything about benjamin, but william henry didn’t do anything. So Washington.
What instrument(s) do you play? Trumpet, piano, violin, ocarena, recorder, kazoo, pencil-tapping (i’m actually a pretty sweet pencil-tapper. Really. I’m not making that up.)
poll:who do you think is the worse dictator:Kim Jong-il or Fidel CastroProbably Castro. But that’s probably because i’ve heard more about him. Most of what i know about kim jong is just how ridiculous he is (people making fun of him and suchlike).
What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever gotten upset about? Oh, so many to choose from. I’m sure there are a lot, but i honestly can’t think of any right now. I guess there are just times when everything bugs me. I can’t think of anything particular though, probably because i was too busy telling people to shut up and go away, or fleeing to the internet.
Which president is better, Harrison or Washington?
Do you even have to ask. Washington was the IDEAL president. Everyone should read his Farewell Address. We’d be so much better off if we’d listened to that throughout our country’s history.
1- red
2-dog
8-How to save a life, The Fray and X&Y, Coldplay.
10- English, Spanish, a little Hebrew/Yiddish
14-Well, pretty much both. And um, Stupid Senseless smiley stories!!!
18- My mom got me a subscription, and I learned about MB from the fan letters page.
22-
1. I’d say Omega (Greek).
2. Late afternoon, during the summer.
3. Um, probably cleaning my room.
4. 9/11
24- 42, or 6, or 12, or 35. Hard to say…
25 – Chocolate and vanilla.
28- Health-Science, or sports (go red sox)
29- I don’t play them that much, but when I do it’s probably Rise of Nations, or online games.
32- For books, sci-fi or fantasy, or movies, fantasy, comedy, or non-fiction/documentary.
39- A fair amount of MB, the rest is probably games.I probably do about 1-2 hours a day.
44- I don’t know much about the Harrisons, I’d say Washington.
52-Castro
OK, my questions:
a. Mac, PC or Linux?
b. Favorite car?
What instrument(s) do you play?
Piano, trumpet, and xylophone. Xylophones are cool, man.
Washington; trombone; no idea; too many to count; I’ve only used PCs; something good for the environment, idk
Is it better to be ignored or really annoyed?
57a- PC
57b- n/a
58- I play xylophone too. Love it. I like marimba better. It rings. I’m playing Bach partita in E major (Preludio, the first part) on marimba. Even though it’s for violin. I’m not good enough for it on violin *dies of shame*. I practice on xylophone at school. But I play it on marimba at my lesson. It bounces more, because I’m using yarn mallets, and therefore is a little easier on marimba. 16th note runs are fun.
59- Annoyed. Being ignored would get me depressed. And when people annoy me it’s usually a joke.
57a- mac
57b- Maserati
For Girls!!!
A guy playing piano? – OR – A guy playing guitar?
Strawberry lip gloss? – OR – Cherry lip gloss?
For Guys!!!
A girl playing powder puff? – OR – A girl playing soccer?
Sweatshirt? – OR – Letter jacket?
62: Piano, because most guitar-playing guys I know are jerks. But if you’re going solely on looks, then I’d say definitely guitar, unless you can tell he’s a wannabe.
Neither. I don’t like lipgloss… too sickly sweet and shiny and unnatural. I guess it looks good on some people, but it seems like more of a middle-school thing. (No offense, middle-schoolers.) I like that line Burt’s Bees has out with all the different tints.
What instrument(s) do you play? Piano, and a bit of accordion
Who do you think is the worse dictator:Kim Jong-il or Fidel Castro Kim Jong-il. My newspaper publishes a magazine thing every sunday, called “Parade.” On Sunday, Feb. 11th, it had a big article about the “World’s 10 worst dictators.” The first was Omar Al-Bashir, in Sudan. Second was Kim Jong-il. Fidel wasn’t even on the list. Personally, I don’t think Castro was that bad. But that’s just me.
How much time do you spend on the internet each day, and how much of that is on MB? I used to spend hours and hours every day on MB, reading every single old thread. I read the entire Gaboomba and every single MB thread. But now I don’t spend as much time, just because it hasn’t been as enjoyable for me as it used to be…for many reasons (already explained). I spend a lot more time on the computer, though, not necessarily on the internet. I make a lot of MB graphs and digital pictures, as well as MuseCasts, etc., on the computer as well. And there’s always homework…
Which president is better, Harrison or Washington? Probably Washington. Apparantly he was a really nice guy. Not a good general, but still…
Is it better to be ignored or really annoyed? Definitely ignored.
62- Piano, or violin. cherry lip gloss..
48-hms pinafore.
64-kim jong il….
62-umm. whats powder puff? i would say soccer though and in general sweatshirt.
57-pc, dual boot ubuntu and winxp pro.
58-guitar. electric
35-what? guitar pwnz piano. *is insulted* lol.
45-Thank you. There is absolutely no reason why you should know anything about Harrison. He died 30 days and 11 hours after his inauguration because he stood out in the rain for 2 hours without wearing a coat. He did almost nothing in his 30 days as president, and that is why most people don’t know about him.
Washington RULES!!!!!!!!
(62) Lip gloss is sick nasty business. It makes people look like the drooled on themselves and forgot to wipe it off.
And in answer to your other question. BOTH. lul no. I can’t decide. It’s all about ~~~~what’s inside~~~ after all.
(64) Clearly we subscribe to the same paper. Or maybe there are other newspapers that publish Life. Um. Still, I read that.
Being ignored is better. I am always annoyed, and often ignored so I know. My story is so touching.
New Question: What are you looking forward to right now?
Jrock Revolution. Words do not convey.
1- Blue. Dog.
3- Gospel
8- Sarah Kelly’s “Take me away”
10- (In order of fluency) English, Pig Latin, quite a bit of German, a small piece of real Latin, a teensy piece of Spanish, a breath of French, and a few words of Italian. Plus about one word of Dutch. But when in Italy, I find that all you need to know is Ice cream (Gelato, but that’s probably spelled wrong) and Pizza (Pizza).
14- Math, probably. SSSS.
18- 1) My Grandma sent it to me. 2) I thought it looked good, and came on just after Valentines day.
19- Neutrals.
22) 1) Aa, both cases. 2) 4. When I get home from school (Which dismisses at 3:15, but I have a mile and a half to walk), but half an hour before I have to do homework. 3) Cleaning the toilets on Saturday. 4) Maybe 9/11, but maybe the London bombings. Or maybe the tsunami. I’m not sure.

Is it better to be ignored or really annoyed? ignored, definitely
(70),
In my experience (backpacking around Europe many years ago), the essential words and phrases to know in every European language were
– ice cream
– bathroom
– please
– thank you
– excuse me
– I don’t know
– I don’t understand
– I don’t speak [local language].
“Ice cream” topped the list, however. You can live on it it if you have to — and very pleasantly, too.
A girl playing powder puff? – OR – A girl playing soccer?
Um…I would go for a girl playing soccer, partly because I really like soccer and partly because I have no idea what playing powder puff is.
Sweatshirt? – OR – Letter jacket?
Sweatshirt. Leather jackets are just too…too…shiny, I guess. And smooth. And lots of animals have to get killed for them.
Am I a valuable addition to this website or am I an annoying polemical moron? Remember, there’s only one right answer.
73-Not leather jacket…letter…does that change your answer, any?
74-You are a valuable addition to this website, in part because you’re so annoying and, therefore, make things interesting…lol. But, no, really, despite what everyone else says, I personally like having you here. Is your internet back up?

Mac, PC or Linux?
Macs rule!!
Is it better to be ignored or really annoyed?
Depends on my mood and who it is. Mostly ignored, unless it’s someone I like.
A guy playing piano? – OR – A guy playing guitar?
Depends. Are they good? Let’s assume yes. What kind of guitar?
Probably guitar, though. But any instrument would be nice.
Strawberry lip gloss? – OR – Cherry lip gloss?
I don’t wear lip gloss or like it. I don’t like cherry flavoring either, though, so probably strawberry.
What are you looking forward to right now?
hmm…nothing, really. Posting this I guess.
Is FrigidSymphony a valuable addition to this website or an annoying polemical moron?
Weeeell… probably an interesting addition. You give us something to arguetalk about, at least.
(74) I often find your barbed responses are things I would like to say but am too timid/avoidance prone to do. Yes.
How did you hear about muse?
I saw it at the library and checked it out, and it was really good so my grandma got THF and I a subscription
How did you hear about museblog?
MG’s letter
SSSS or religions
Religions, although the whole point of the thread has completely fallen apart. I’m putting in a vote for a Huston’s World Religions thread.
Mac, PC or Linux?
Mac!!
Is FrigidSymphony a valuable addition to this website or an annoying polemical moron?
FS has a lot of interesting points, but sometimes you/he gets a bit too involved in things and says some nasty comments. But I think some of his viewpoints are really interesting and would love to discuss them, if he were more open to others’ ideas.
74-A combo of both. You arent a political moron, but you can be really insensitive sometimes. How about me?
When you read a bokk or magazine, do you turn one page at a time or put your finger under the next page in anticipation?
What is your favorite day of the week? (sorry if that’s been asked)
Snuggling on a couch or curled up alone in a chair?
Favorite planet?
Would you rather kiss someone i nthe dark and find they had:
pustules on their lips
OR
it was your father in law?
I heard that one on some commercial for the would you rather game.
69- 4 week music festival in June/July
74- No, you have a good point about a lot of stuff, especially on the religions thread.
72- Ah, but I’m talking about Italy here. The rest of Europe depends – when in France, bread. And Pain’de chocolates (Or however you write that). When in Switzerland, Chocolate, Cheese, and Milk. When in the Netherlands, Cheese. When in Spain, Tapas. When in Ireland, Guiness (Joking. YOU might need that). But in Italy, Ice cream and Pizza see you through.
When you read a bokk or magazine, do you turn one page at a time or put your finger under the next page in anticipation?
When I’m close to finishing a page, I put my finger there.
What is your favorite day of the week? (sorry if that’s been asked)
Saturday pwns it
Snuggling on a couch or curled up alone in a chair?
Alone
Favorite planet?
Earth definently, definently pwns it
Would you rather kiss someone i nthe dark and find they had:
pustules on their lips
OR
it was your father in law?
Pustules??? What are those?
74 – Um…uh…er…eeeh…iggg….christianity tells me to keep my mouth shut.
Actually, I will just say it.
On the religions threads I really hated you. On the April Fools Bunny threads I really liked you. Everywhere else…so-so.
muse or national geographic?
85-At least you’re honest.
Well, I’m flattered. Now, why did you hate me on the religions thread? Because I was consistently hacking away at Christianity, exposing it for what it is? Or just because you felt personally attacked? Remember, no inhibitions. Say your thoughts, give in to your urges, do what your mind and body tell you to and you will find gratification.
80-
Flipping pages, Friday, Couch, Pluto ( I feel sorry for it) Umm it depends what kind of pustules
finger under page
saturday
couch
pluto
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I said :
do you like muse or national geographic better!!?
91-Muse!
I’m too lazy to answer all the polls, but I shall definitely answer FS’s. Now, how to do it without being too mean……
Annoying and polemical, definitely. Not necessarily a moron. Definitely not a valuable addition to the website. You insult people and things at every possible opportunity, and not necessarily with good reason. Basically you’re just obnoxious.
Please no one get upset with me for saying that, since he was literally asking for it.
91 – Muse.
88 – Um…yea. Christianity is the most important part of my life, and you say it’s garbage on the Religions thread. Though at least we both hate hot-pink bunnies! That makes the canyon between us a little shallower. If you didn’t hate hot-pink bunnies, I probably would have said I hate you everywhere.
Is FrigidSymphony a valuable addition to this website or an annoying polemical moron?
It is annoying when you don’t appreciate some of the things others are saying. You’re a valuble addition to this website when you’re entertaining and when you try to be considerate.

err… the “me” isn’t supposed to be there. I was copy pasting and it somehow didn’t get deleted…
New question: How old are you?
Polls copied from 76 (JS) because Penty is laaaazy. So lazy, in fact, that she didn’t even correct typos in poll questions. Never mind, she did, because some of them are just painful.

He’s a valuable polemic. This is, contrary to popular blog opinion, a real option.
Never mind laziness. Hunting down posts now.

Am I supposed to keep track of these things?

Hott Supersexy Dude
Do you have any idea who Amilia Robinson is?
Yes she sometimes stays at my house.
Do you hang up the phone, say something witty to tell them off, tell them never to call again, or play along and make fun of tellemarketers? (We all know you dont buy that vacume cleaner)
play along and make fun
How on earth would I know if Beavo was a Hotte Supersexy Dude? I’ve never seen him/her!
Next time a telemarketer calls I’ll pop a balloon then say “AAAUGH I’VE BEEN SHOT” then hang up.
One day I’d like to randomly dial a number and say “Hi I’d like to order a large pepperoni pizza” then after they say they have no idea what I’m talking about say “oh I’m sorry you must have dialed the wrong number bye” and hang up.
NEW QUESTION: WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE COMIC STRIP?
107-Use context clues. Dude means him/her is a him. My friend called 1-800-Buffalo on my birthday party and talked like Borat and was like “Jim, have you decided about tonight” and stuff like that until she found out it was a girl and hung up then we prank called our parents. HEHE. Or so she said.

107: I’m guessing you’re a fan of Calvin and Hobbes,
110 – HOW DID YOU KNOW???
108 – You answered Shadowkat’s girl questions, so I assumed you were a girl, but since you used the word dude I wasn’t sure.
111-The question was there so I answered it! Its true, I wouldnt be caught dead in lip gloss (since I AM a boy) (and I had to wear lipstick for a highschool play because the room was so big that everyone’s face seemed like a blotch. ALL the boys complained as the girls applied lipstick and mascara and eye liner *shudder*) (the girls laughed up a storm) would you? I’m assuming you’re a boy since your previous name was davidude…
New question:
What does everyone think of me?
penty and FS, did it, so I figured I would too. Since I have no idea what people might think, I’m leaving this as an FRQ rather than a multiple-choice. I want people’s opinions on me.
112 – Oh yes. I wouldn’t be caught dead in lip gloss. But you didn’t answer Shadowkat’s boy questions.
113 – You are another MBer who has ideas and no strong opinions or mean posts so I am very neutral with you.
114-I have plenty of strong opinions. I just don’t usually post them on MB.
98- I copied it from a different post. Not my fault.
When you read a bokk or magazine, do you turn one page at a time or put your finger under the next page in anticipation?

Are you ever going to give up on this whole Pluto thing?
I miss Pluto, but I’m not active about it.
Are you ever going to give up on this whole bunny thing?
I’m not in the whole bunny thing.
Pie or cake?
Depends on the kinds.
Do you know what an RRR is? Do you care?
Yes, and yes. I write for two of the recent ones and two of the old ones no one goes on. *glares*
Do you even know MG? Do you invoke her name whenever a conversation doesn’t go your way?
Yes. I knew her, and I talk to her occasionally online. I only invoke her name if there is PoPoing or stuff like that, not if I disagree withtwhat people are saying.
Would you ever become a vegan?
No. I enjoy meat to much. And milk, I couldn’t go without milk.

I don’t usually answer the phone when they call. I’d like to say something witty if it’s ever me picking it up. I did make fun of the person who called from the modeling agency, though. She got really offended. Hee hee.
What’s your favorite comic strip?
Hmm. Doonsbury has some good political stuff, both Frazz and Get Fuzzy have made references to Douglass Adams, and therea another that’s funny with a title I don’t remember.

Soccer

I like hoodies. Does that count as a sweatshirt? If not, the leather jacket.

Erm, not answering, as I’ve never seen a picture.

Who?
Do you hang up the phone, say something witty to tell them off, tell them never to call again, or play along and make fun of tellemarketers? (We all know you dont buy that vacume cleaner)
We are on the don’t call list, so I hardly ever get calls from them. It is fun to say things like “I’m on the run from the law for tax evasion” and see if they still try to sell you a credit card.
What’s your favorite comic strip?
Foxtrot or Pearls Before Swine. definately Pearls Before Swine.
New question.
Do you put ice cream on your cake or in a separate bowl?
98-I’ve always liked having you here, Penty!

Is Shadowkat a nice person to have on the blog, or can she be a little bit stubborn, and annoying because of it, sometimes?
I’m answering Penty’s questions because they’re actually interesting and easy to cut and paste.
Are you ever going to give up on this whole Pluto thing?
Um, I never really cared. It’s now considered a dwarf planet, so what.
Are you ever going to give up on this whole bunny thing?
I never go absolutely crazy over them. They’re funny, to an extent.

Cake unless the pie is amazing.
Do you know what an RRR is? Do you care?

Do you even know MG? Do you invoke her name whenever a conversation doesn’t go your way?

Would you ever become a vegan?
no way
Is Penty a valuable addition to this site or an annoying elitist hypocrite?
Well, I like reading your posts.
Okay, now for random ones:
What are you looking forward to right now?
Anything but school.
Weirdest thing that has happened to you recently?
The other day I got barely any sleep, but when I woke up I felt as though I had slept in. So, of couse, the logical conclusion at 6 in the morning was that the previous day must have been a dream. To my great relief this was not the case.

Shadowkat is an absolutely spiffylicious person to have on the blog!
Weirdest thing that has happened to you recently?
Probably finding out that mater and i both have messed up thyroids. Some kind of genetic thing. Apparantely it explains our uber-thick hair and extreme b-witchiness when we don’t eat when we’re hungry.

Inbetween
Weirdest thing that has happened to you recently?
Hmmm…no, I have a pretty boring life. Let’s go for dreams! All right, 2 nights ago I had a dream that I was in 2012. This can obviously be explained by the Mayan’s doomsday date (Dec 23 2012), which is the culture we are studying in school right now. So anyway, here I was, on December 9, 2012, (yes I know this cause a dude in my dream told me so) on the campus of an elementary school near me wearing only a shirt. But the shirt was big enough do drape down to my knees, thank god. Anyway, I was right by this tall tree with a big ladder and each rung had a date on it and the last date was Dec 23, 2012. But it looked just like the tree in my backyard, and sudenly I was in my backyard and the tree was there, exactly the same. (oh wow) So then the ladder snapped and big black shapes whirled around because it was the end of the world, of course and then in the midst of the swirling blackness I saw a grandfather and his grandson at this counter choosing which object to look at. And they chose to look at some chubby legs that looked just like the legs of St. Peter in the front of Carmel’s Spanish Mission in California. [I live nowhere by this but I have been there and seen it.] And the chubby legs danced around while the grandpa paid his $1 to look at the chubby legs and suddenly I was on top of a skyscraper, watching a huge pool of water swirl around and looked around and saw most of the city was underwater. (I visited a hydroelectric dam 3 days befor this.) And then I got pushed into the muck and swam around and climbed out and somebody pushed me in. Suddenly I was right next to a chapel and I tore off a wooden chunk of it and threw it at this random guy who just happened to be there playing football and it bounced off his rear, knocking him over and richocheting the chunk back to me. I ate a chunk of it absentmindedly and it tasted just like cream cookies and I looked down and it looked just like one giant cream cookie with rainbow sprikles so I ate it and then woke up, dazed by the profound weirdness of my dream. I have so many weird dreams, and if the GAPAs could make a dream thread like they did a year ago that would be nice.
Ok guys I was kidding about the hotte supersexy dude. Im surprised you didnt figure that out. But I still want your opinion on me!
Shadowkat, I think you are a great addition to the MuseBlog.
123-Oh come on, you gotta like one of the two (Mel or Monty)!!
I’ll explain who Amelia is later. She is not a random person I picked off the street.
Actually, I change that. Shadowkat is nice on the blog. I like Shadowkat. Beavo, I like you too.
I’m feeling friendly today.
116-Sorry for the double post, but Mel Brooks is a producer/director for movies such as Space Balls, Blazing Sadles, and The Producers. He is a RIOT I must say. Even better *gasp* than Monty Python *gets pied*. And now, for something completely different.
(126) Even a short list of Mel Brooks’s movies is not complete without Young Frankenstein. The Twelve Chairs also had its moments.
Brilliant how I managed to spark of a train of ego stroking.
which one do you think made/is a better president : george bush Jr. or george bush Sr.?
124: How dare you spell “Amelia” wrong when you first introduced the question, initiating a chain of blasphemously butchered, cut-and-pasted alterations of my name?
Yes, I’m overreacting; only one letter was wrong. But that Shakespeare thread got me in the mood for big words.
So anyway I googled this Amelia Robinson, after I saw you spell her name correctly (for how could I not be interested in one of my name-mates; it’s so seldom I meet or hear about one), and basically she’s a 96-year-old civil rights activist. She’s stayed at your house?
What does everyone think of me [emmatheduck]
I don’t really know you. You read muse, though, so that puts you ahead of tmost of the populace with all the other musers.
Is Shadowkat a nice person to have on the blog, or can she be a little bit stubborn, and annoying because of it, sometimes?
Interesting to talk to, I disagree with some of your opinions but thats good, and you have facts to back them up unlike other people so I respect you more.
126- I havn’t seen any of those, so, I still have to go with MP.
*hops on the ego train* What do you all think of me?
128-*strokes his ego* Oh, yes, you’re amazing!
131-Jadestone, I think you are absolutely cool!!! Granted, we don’t always agree (as you pointed out), but, hey, even with that in mind, I’ve always gotten along with you pretty well, I think.
127-Sorry. I know those movies, but I havent seen them. I only listed the ones I have seen. I can (half) honestly say Blazing Saddles was my favorite movie ever. Now matter how much innapropriate jokes. FS, you should like that one.
129-They were both dolts.
130-Yes. She works in the organazation that my parents work in. She did not stay at my house once, she stays at my house every time she comes to (Im already snipping my location so Rob/Reb dosent have to ). I have to say everyone loves her. She was actually the woman who invited (or one of them) Martain Luther King JR to Selma Alabama. Her life was saved when a yellow hat fell over her head on Edmund Pettus Bridge. She is quite an amazing woman.
Jadestone, you have some really interesting ideas. I guess your on my “MBers who I like” list. thats a good thing
Oh dang this thread is almost dead
131 – I like you because you started the Jadestone side in the Pie War.
New question: Does anybody notice me or read what I write? I have been feeling ignored lately.

137- Thanks for noticing me, at least. I really didn’t mean to copy your name when I changed mine, which is what some people on other threads thought.
neither, he has to play a brass instrument; no lip gloss; the They Might Be Giants concert I’m going to next Saturday (if they let me in); Wednesday, because I don’t like the thought that everyone autmatically prefers weekends; alone in chair; Pluto; I’m not kissing anyone in the dark; Muse; I don’t really care, Pluto’s just convenient to think of as a planet and is associated with positive stuff for me; I don’t really care, mildly positive about bunnies but consider me given up; pie; yes and yes, I like reading the RRRs but I can’t write; I’ve read of her but I don’t think about her too much; no, too hard; neither HP or LOTR, His Dark Materials if you must; MONTY PYTHON; book; conspiracy theorist; no, who is Amelia Robinson; hang up; right now my planner’s covered in Calvin and Hobbes, but the favorite my newspaper carries, Dilbert or Foxtrot on weekends; ice cream on cake; TMBG Clock Radio pwnz all; human; ;green

Too hard to choose.

Comic Strip
Either Calvin & Hobbes, or Foxtrot. They’re both amazing.

If you’re referring to the Civil Rights activist, it’s Amelia
Do you hang up the phone, say something witty to tell them off, tell them never to call again, or play along and make fun of tellemarketers? (We all know you dont buy that vacume cleaner)
I don’t really answer the phone to begin with, but on the chance that I do…I just kinda say “bye,” awkwardly.
How old are you?
15
flute or piccolo?
Flute, probably. But I don’t play either, so I can’t really answer this question.
TV or a good book?
Book
What’s your favorite comic strip?
Foxtrot
What is your favorite radio station?
I don’t listen to the radio, ever, but if I did, it would be either a classical music or a news station.
What is your favorite animal?
That is a really hard question. My favorite animal for a pet is a cat, but I don’t really know beyond that…
What is your favorite smiley?
Oh dear…I have no idea.
“What do you think about me?”
Everyone is asking this question. Instead of doing everyone individually, I’m going to say what I like in general about a museblogger. I like people who really seem like they’re part of the community. People who get along with other people even if they don’t have the same views or opinions about things (basically, if they have information to back up their ideas, and are willing to discuss their opinions with other people, and not be really close-minded and think they’re the only person who’s right). Community, to me, means that everyone also knows how to take care of their environment. So this means I like people who don’t popopo, etc. And there are a lot more qualities, but they’re basically along those same lines.

150- I don’t care about those people. They’re all things to make money from poor, innocent, kids.
Batman, Superman, or Spiderman?
Dude, Spidey all the way!
SPIDERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, since everyone is asking, I will ask to. What do people think of me? Am I annoying?
Aww. I like Batman. He’s a normal person who made himself super, didn’t get powers from some freak accedent or anything. Plus there’s the smexy mask and cape to factor in…
155-True, but the Webhead’s powers kick it.
All time favorite book/book series? Mine is A Seiries of Unfortunate Events.
Yes I did…which name should I use now? I know RtH doesn’t want me to be Ravenhawk….
157 – Chronicles of Narnia.
VERY IMPORTANT POLL SO PLEASE EVERYBODY RESPOND INCLUDING ALL OF THE GAPAS:
Are you left-handed or right-handed?
PLEASE ANSWER THIS POLL!!!
And btw-I’m right-winged
right-handed
Why is it so important?
right handed
Right-handed.
right handed
Primarily left-handed, though I’m sufficiently ambidextrous to use my right hand for just about anything.
Hmm…just had an idea… Yes, I can simultaneously write normally with my right hand while mirror writing with my left, but it makes my brain feel really, really weird.
Righthanded. In my case, it’s not even close.
165 – I should try that (writing with both hands at the same time)…it sounds cool!
I’m basically like Rebecca, except primarily right-handed. I usually write with my right hand, but I can write pretty well with my left, and I’m left-eyed and left-footed, etc. I think we’ve had this discussion before somewhere…
Severely righthanded.
I’ve tried to train myself to use my fork with my left hand — so I could blend in better in Germany when visiting my relatives there. Unlike Americans, righthanders in Germany (and I’m guessing many other places) eat with a fork in their left hand and a knife in their right.
As for my training efforts, let’s just say that right-handed fork use is still my best bet if I want to avoid drawing attention.
I might be able to write with both hands at once, but only if I had two normal pens. (I just tried with a highliter. It didn’t work.) I can write shakily with my left hand, but possibly better than most. Whatever I write with my left hand tends to be backwards unless I concentrate. I’m trying to make myself somewhat ambidextrous. So far, it’s going okay.
167 – The random factoids thread.
168 – Even though I’m right-handed, I find I can eat cereal with a spoon without much difficulty.
It’s weird writing with both hands simultaneously. My left hand does a mirror of my right hand, alebit a fair bit sloppier. It has this weird feeling that actually feels good. *writes more*
Yay! Lots of people have responded!
I have a TERRIBLE time trying to write with my left wing, but I think I’ll try with both.
Oh and I’m going to see how many people here are left-handed (or pawed or winged), just out of curiosity.
So far it looks like eight right and one left, but she said she can also do a lot with her right. Interesting. Now I can’t wait for other people to respond!!!
*Goes off to try writing with both wings*
(171) To me it feels like being tickled from inside my skull.
Woah! I can do it! It’s bizarrely cool.
(171, 172, 174) Try it with drawing — or doodling, if you don’t draw. I tried it three ways: (1) both hands doing the same thing, (2) one hand working in mirror image of the other, and (3) each hand drawing something different (try Xs in one hand and Os in the other if drawing is too difficult).
I can do a mirror image of what I’m writing with my left hand, though it’s sloppy. I can also write quite well with my left hand, but it doesn’t feel natural.
I haven’t yet tried it with drawing.
Here’s a poll: Who here has tried free writing, and did you like it or not?
It’s fun when it’s really free writing, especially in school. Then you can continue an RRR.
I meant when you open a document and just type. After a few sentences your fingers take over, and you start typing things without your mind even telling you to. Such as (no really, I did say this): “what a lovely shade of green.” Huh?
It’s fun.
My free writing experiment.
Well here goes> I’m supposed to be trying free writing, and I wonder if it will work. I am at my grandparent’s house on their computer and it’s mother’s day. This is kind of fun. I wish h I had a dog, or a mouse. Hey mouse! I would name it ringo after the one ins the science classroom in mo. But ringo died. So did Dumbledore. I like Dumbledore. Why did he have to die? *sob!* The world is unfair, just fairer than death that’s all. I like quoting things, but I don’t have that many memorized. I don’t know I f I’ll ever have them, all memorized. I have a book of quotes that I am making up, but I don’t know who said them all so I’ll have to do that later but for now Mrs. Robins has them. I really wish she’d give them back, but IT‘s Sunday. I have so many more! Sometimes I get them from books, like now I am reading Slaves of the Mastery, and I’ve gotten like 15 quotes from there and it’s cool. The book is kind of slow. Speaking of books, I have to do a book talk on Friday which I’m dreading, cuz I don’t know what book I[‘ll be doing. I think I might do Un Lun Dun, but I’m not sure.
Wow. Somewhat more connected than my free writing, but not much.
I’m too scared to try now. *shudders*
NEW QUESTION!!!!
How many names have you had on this blog(including alter egos)?
ANOTHER NEW QUESTION!!
Do you think its a good idea for people to have lots of different names?
Free writing? Fun. Dunno if it’d work that well for me though because I look at the keyboard when I type because I’m sad like that. Though I don’t have to look at it as much as I used too.
182- 3. Jadestone, and two alter-egos, Dragonfly and Thornblossem. I’ll probably make a new one soon though.
I don’t like when people cange names all the time, because I never remember who they are, and sometimes I get sad when an old person changes thir name. I think variations on one’s name are great fun though.
I’m right handed though I can do some things with my left. Not very well, though. and I was fairly good at the mirror writing. My left is fairly illegible but opposite what I did with my right. My right was very clear and neat and not at all like what my normal writing looks like. I found that fairly easy actually
(184) Yes, it’s much easier than one might think. Drawing is even easier and potentially quite useful. More difficult was trying to draw one thing with one hand and something else with the other. One of the worst for me was trying to draw squares and circles simultaneously. That would require some practice.
183- I look at the keyboard too. Let’s try it without looking. Ooh, that’s hard. I can’t not look. It hurts my eyes to try not to.
186- Okay. I AM NO- ahh caps lock, sorry. I am not looking I am not looking I am not looking… ahh, to many mistakes this is hard… giving up now.
pick one: Scotland, Wales, England, Ireland
Scotland.
Ireland.
Ireland
Ireland!
England. I wrote this post without looking at the keyboard or at the screen. Ha!
Goody for you! I wrote this without looking at the keyboard.
Ireland
wow…it seems like this Traggle person can make threads die. this is the second dead thread i’ve been on where Traggle had the last comment…
interesting isn’t it? btw, great way to insult me….
ireland
172 – I thought hawks wrote with their feet. It’s much harder to pick up a pencil with your wing than it is with your talons.
kwickpowl: where you breastfed as an infant or bottlefed?
Breastfed. I believe that (in most circumstances), it is much better for the baby. That is what my mom says, anyway…
Both. I think. Yes. Both.
201 – Me too. It’s more natural, and breastmilk has antibodies and other things formula can’t supply.
I was breastfed.
is it just me, or is this particular subject a bit…..odd???
Maybe so. I just wanted to see how popular breastfeeding was versus bottlefeeding today.
I willnie kiis IU will nw kiis i wikllk niw kiis
Okay that is what happened when I didn’t look at the screen or the keyboard. It says:
I will not look I will not look I will not look.
Here’s my attempt to type without looking at the screen. It probably wo AAG I LOOKED oh well
I will shut my eyes and not look at the screen or keyboard while I am typihng this
Hey, I'[m pretty good at this/
It’s eary. Don’t you gree? I would write all of my posts like this, excefpt it’s not worth the trouble of looking up. I did that post again, taking twtwice the normal time that I take to write posts because I had to re-start, because of an error. I may have made another mistake or two earlier, this time I tried to fix it without re-typing.
Worhoit lookinf ar tje kernparz pe xpeeexrinf mu mistales.
It’s not that hard to type without looking at the keyboard of the monitor~
213_ Oa tpp!
But i can type without looking at the screen easily. It might have someothing to do with my keyboard.

That was a poll, so I hope you will be answering it. And it was also me practicing writing without looking at the screen or keyboard!
217- Completely unintelligible. This is written with my eyes closed, and I just hope it’s easier to read than that mess.
218- Much.
I am currently typwing with my yes closed. I don’t know how many mistakes there will me but I’lm typing at my usual rage.
I meant rate. but you know, I’m not changing it. this is with my eyes open and looking at the screen by the way.
I”m typing this with my eyes closed, at my normal speed. I did kind of cheat by putting my hands in the right position before I started tyhping, but other than that I haven’t looked.
That’s not chearing. There are the things to tell uou where the keys are, anyway. This time, I did it with my hands on the part next to the trackpad on this laptop with a bad screen.
220: “I’m typing at my usual rage” just may be the funniest thing I’ve heard today. I don’t know why it gives me the giggles. XD
What would your daemon be?
This is not multiple choice.
Since I read the books when I was ten I have considered the following
owl
cat
sparrow
pine marten
pygmy elephant (that would not be convenient!)
mouse(I disagree with this one. IA friend suggested it though I can’t imagine why!)
None seem quite right to me! I have no idea what my daemon might be! Maybe after everyone here knows me a bit more they could give a good guess…..
224- Macaw.
225- I couldn’t think what mine was, but recently my mother decided I was very catlike, and it fits perfectly!
Tell me my daemon. I’m curious. The movie website says Gibbon if you want an answer from me, though I like crows. Hmm… I’m curious what you guys think.
228- I said this on the random thread, but I’ll say it again here. Some sort of bird. Yeah, maybe a crow.
Well, according to the painfully slow Golden Compass movie site, my daemon is a mouse name Aerodon, or something along those lines. I still think I’m a cat.
I HAVE TWO POLLS. PLEASE ANSWER THEM. I AM TRYING TO GATHER SOME DATA.
qwikpoll#1: Do you think Pwt is a boy or a girl?
qwikpoll#2: How would you rate Koko on a scale of 0 to 10?
If you would like to include a short segment explaining why you made your vote, please do. Also, please understand that your response, but not your blogname or any identifying material, may be subject to publishing. Thank you for your time.
I’m designing an unofficial quiz to find out what you daemon is.
231 – Definitely a boy. Listen to MuseCast #something…I talked about it there (and so did THF, Kiki, and Penty)
I’ll think about Koko some other time…
231-
#1: No clue.
#2: Do you mean how annoying, how cool, what?
232- Cool! Post it when you’re done, please?
231 – 0 high or 10 high?
236 – 10 high.
234 – What I meant was, how much do you like him? Do you like him a lot, or not very much? I suppose I didn’t make it very clear in the origional question.
Koko: 4. I don’t like him very much. He’s slightly annoying and has a habit of throwing pastries at people, sometimes with unconventional things as filling. He does make for an amusing comic, though.
My daemon is a raven.
239 – Yay! Another GAPA on besides Robert, who is going to bed now.
239- Cool! According to you? Or according to the site? I am a cat according to me and a mouse according to the site. Uh-oh . . .

I followed it through, and I came out as a carpenter. (!) I don’t even SEE Ornithologist on the list!!! You invented it yourself, E2MB?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!?!?!??!??!? 8)
POLL: DO YOU HAVE ANY MUSERY ITEMS?!?!?!?!?
Red-tailed HAWK
Weird. It’s not at all accurate. I came out as “Joe’s Junkyard dude” on the first try, and it took me about three tries to get to novelist. Probably because I am not very goal-oriented when it comes to most things (such as fiber projects), only writing, and for some reason I wasn’t counting that.
270- Sadly, no. Unless you count my desktop/screensaver.
270- No, but I’d love something. What do you have?
271- heh, yeah. I’m not a goal oriented person but I am motivated. I too got Joe’s Junkyard dude. I have no clue what that means, but I am motivated. you need to realize that motivated and goal oriented are two different things.
273- Whatever a Joe’s Junkyard dude is, I don’t think E2MB has a very high opinion of it!
Do I have any musery items?
Sadly, no.
270 – Yes, I made it up myself. I cranked it out in 1 hour, which is why it isn’t all that accurate or include that many jobs.
271, 273, 274 – That part of the quiz left me baffled for a job. It had to have
+little physical activity
+little or no involvement of strangers
+not include super-long-term projects
Can you think of a job that meets that:?:
275- No clue. Writer of veryveryvery short books or poems?
276 – That’s BRILLIANT! *hands over a pie*
277- Are you being serious or sarcastic?
Somewhere inbetween, but leaning toward serious.
I took my test 3 different times, because there were some questions I couldn’t decide between, and got computer programmer, cartoonist, and novelist or poet.
255- I LOVE Celtic music!!! Its beautiful!!!
256-I have seen the mirrormask, it was pretty good, and bizarre, but it was cool.
275- writer, painter, musician.
69-I am looking forward to my dance recital rehearsal, and the actual recitals, and dancing at a festival, and possibley telling someone i like them. My friend and i spent all night last nigh writing a note.
97-I am 13
103-I have been a vegetarian my whole entire life
137-a.) 103.3 KL (Oldies)
b.) I dont have a favorite, they are all wonderful and amazing
c.) the blushing one, its so sweet
Just to say, the people answering the vegan/vegetarian questions, i dont mean to sound rude, i would just really appreciate it if you wouldnt be so harsh, becuase i am really sensitive about that particular subject, and when you say something like no way, its kind of offensive, but again, i dont mean to sound mean or anything.
Argh! I am so sick of the whole vegetarianism thing! I don’t mean I am sick of people being vegetarians (I don’t care one way or the other about that), I just mean it comes up on just about every thread, lord knows why. And it makes me feel peculiar. I accept that you are a vegetarian, Dancergirl13, and I don’t like you any the less for it. I am sensitive about it too, albeit for different reasons. Now can we bury that subject yet?
I could kick myself, that sounded so rude. But I have to submit that, because it is making a point.
And Dancergirl13, please, please, know that it isn’t personal in the least, and that I’m not against vegetarians. I just HATE the topic. Can’t we all just accept this subject and let it sleep?
Now I am going to click submit before I die of my own rudeness and audacity. I hope I didn’t offend anyone.
Im sorry….I just wanted some respect for people, I kinda understand you, but cant i just ask for respect once in awhile? Im sorry this sounds rude too, but when people find out I am different they dont respect me sometimes, and I dont want that to happen anymore. In the fifth grade these girls that i totally thought were my friends found out i was a vegetarian. They asked the most stupid questions in the world, and then started getting REALLY snotty and harsh, and i am very sensative, and get really upset at any thing that offends me or hurts me. In science we started talking about herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores, and one girl raised her hand and said “she is a herbivore” in this nasty tone, and then someone asked as loud as they could, “wont she die” and there was this horrible conversation. I went home and had about a million panick attacks, and sobbed for 2 hours. Maybe i sound like a baby, but you have no idea what it was like. And every year we talk about carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores in science, and people say “oh its so stupid”, “what do they eat”, “have you ever seen a healthy vegetarian? They are like sticks, and are so pale, i just dont get why they dont eat meat” and i just keep my mouth shut, but i would like to go home and stay there. Im sorry about all this, i would just finally like everyone to be ok with it. My uncle even got onto my mom for being a vegetarian, people always fight us with fire, and try to convince us to stop becuase its ‘unhealthy’ and i just want it all to stop. Im sorry. I know its nothing personal, but i just want to feel like people accept the subject, and dont act like I’m a freak (not that you do, im just saying some people do). Some of my friends tease me sometimes, and they arent harsh, and they dont know it makes me feel bad, becuase they barely say anything, but….Im sorry i wont ever talk about it again…
Im sorry if that sounded horrible, i dont mean anything, but why so upset over one comment? I didnt mean to start anything. Sorry again. Im really, really, really, really, really, really, sorry. And, ok please dont get mad, maybe it would help if there was a thread for vegetarians, and you wouldnt have to ever set foot in it. Ever.
285- I respect you. I don’t care that you’re a vegetarian, I’m just sick of talking about it. I’m sorry that you’ve had such a horrible time with it. I didn’t mean to be rude, and I’m really sorry. It just makes me feel very strange, and I don’t like it.
Oooh, and that sounded petty.
Again, I couldn’t be more sorry about that. I really don’t mean to be snobby.
Poll- Do you:
a) Say mean things on purpose.
b) Say mean things on purpose that you regret afterwards.
c) Accidently say things that you regret afterwards.
d) Say things that you don’t think are offensive but other people do.
e) Think before you say anything (or just don’t talk) and never offend anyone.
You may pick one for how you treat people your own age or your friends. You may pick a different one for your siblings.
Also:
Do you:
a) Think that killing people is wrong, for any reason.
b) Think that killing people is O.K , if it’s for a good reason.
c) Think that killing people is O.K, if it will further the development of the Earth.
d) Want to kill everyone for no reason at all, because you are a mad maniac.
I ask this because in Social Studies we’re talking about the genocide in Darfur. One of my friends thinks that a solution would be to kill all the racists. I think that we shouldn’t, for a number of reasons. What do you think?
a) Say mean things on purpose.
Well, not to hurt someone. I do the whole insult-ack-and-forth with people because I’m rather good at twisting something they say, nut it’s in jest, nt real. Although if I ever have the misfortune to talk to some of the [censored] at our school… It is I good thing I have so much self-control.
I used to be mean to my sister, but I have many, many reasons for that. I shall not go into listing them.
b) Say mean things on purpose that you regret afterwards.
I guess I don’t really mean some of the things I used to tell my sister, but as I don’t say them, not really.
c) Accidently say things that you regret afterwards.
Not really. If I do say them it’s either on purpose or I fight for it.
d) Say things that you don’t think are offensive but other people do.
I’m pretty good at avoiding those situations, thankfully.
e) Think before you say anything (or just don’t talk) and never offend anyone.
I don’t really talk unless I’m with my friends or decide to be outgoing and such (like at drama club).
287- I am typically C, but I try to be respectful all of the time.
And on the second one I’m B, but only in self defense really, with some exceptions for wars.
Wow. I just realized I totally mis-[err…dunno the correct ver] how we were supposed to answer 287. Wow.
287-
Well, as for the first, I think I’m C.
The second . . . *tries to avoid it* *fails* I think it depends. I don’t think anyone should kill anyone unless it is necessary for survival, or, in the case of animals – NOT humans -, the natural thing to do. So I guess I’m B.
290- Misinterpreted?
And here is a question or three:
Do you:
a) Think Museblog is the coolest thing in the world and all you want to do,
b) know that you should do something other than Museblog, but can’t because it’s fun and addictive,
c) think Museblog is fun but no substitute for a real life, and act accordingly
d) rarely ever come on Museblog, and almost never think about it?
286-its ok, i understand, but next time could you like, i dont know. sorry. I guess i was just in a bad mood (i hate hormones) and i felt like you kinda exploded. Sorry!!!
I dont think anyone should kill anyone unless like Alice said it is necessary for survival, or if like they have some horrible disease that will kill everyone becuase its contageous, or like if they are in ALOT (and i mean so much that they want to die) of pain so they could be put out of their misery. With animals i dont think (i am sorry Alice for talking about it again, but i am answering their questions, please dont get mad!!) they should be killed unless it is completely and totally absolutely necessary, or again if they are in horrible pain and misery so they can be put out of their misery and go to a better place. Im sorry alice!!!
I usually think before i say anything, but it is really easy to offend someone sometimes, so no one can totally avoid it, but i dont blurt out what comes to mind immediately. Sometimes i say mean things, not to hurt anyone, but like if they arent being fair or something, i try to snap them out of it, but i try not to get harsh becuase i HATE hurthing people’s feelings, and i always feel horrible if i do.
I am b and c for Alice’s question.
I’m C on Alice’s question. I have a life. Question Time! My answers are below.
What is a political figure you admire?
Angela Merkel
What is your favorite smell?
White tea
What is your favorite poem?
IF by Rudyard Kipling. I know it by heart now.
292- It’s okay. In fact, now that you have mentioned it I can fill in the rest of my answer. I think that humans can kill animals to eat, just as an animal could kill a human to eat. That’s all we are, really: animals with a bit more brain power than most. We shouldn’t act like we are so superior to everything else.
I think that maybe my request was a bit far fetched. Sorry.
293-
What is a political figure you admire?
I don’t.
What is your favorite smell?
Chocolate, maybe? I don’t know.
What is your favorite poem?
There are so many, I could never answer that question.
285- Wow. I never have that problem. There is a vegetarian thread, I don’t know where it is, though.
Right here:
https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=385#comments
160-right pawed
294-i agree, i dont think like we should act so superior either, although thats pretty much what has happened.
296-really? well, just to make Alice feel better, and since shes right, i am kind of getting sick of it, do you think we could please move on to another subject?
Thirteen-letter words. What’s your favorite?
Why don’t we start with a new thread? GAPAs-you can delete this comment if you want there to be exactly 300 posts.
We’re not superstitious. The 300 figure is just a guideline. Still, now is as good a time as any, and better than most. Here goes…
