Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything
Tehe…I have my ways…lol! Thanks, GAPA’s! Not that it was really a problem, but, you know…we have a record to beat.
Sorry ’bout the 2post, but GEEZ, KIKI!!! YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THESE THINGS! Lol…I’m just kidding, of course, but it wouldn’t have worked out, anyway…I had the ACT that morning, and then a dance recital in the evening…of course, you could’ve come to that, I suppose…maybe…but, oh well…there will be more!
There are a lot of dying threads… PPP, Ships’ Logs, Museica, Computer Games, May/June Muse Discussion… SAVE THESE DYING THREADS!
This thread was up when I stilll saw part 1. The only explanation is that I was looking at teh main page when it went up so that i didn’t see it without using the link in part ine.
3-*eville laugh* DIE, DIE, DIE!!! lol just kidding.
We got to take our book sox off our books today. Yay.
on Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and the Welsh stuff last thread. The Welsh aren’t vowel-deprived, they just pronounce things differently. symbols we view as consonants are pronounced like vowels. (well some of them.) for example, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is pronounced Thlanvairpoothlgoounguthlgogeruchoourndroboolthlantusiliiogogogoch.
me does hate grape jam.
7-I used to, but I like it, now…razzberry still pwns, though!!!
7/8-I hate grape jam, and I love razzberry too! *goes to have some* Snap. We’re all out.
I don’t like jam. BUT BUTTER R00LZ.
6- Yeah, like the fact that w is pronounced oo, and y is pronounced uh. I learned both those things, along with the dd is pronounced th, by reading The Grey King. Yay for informative fiction!
Okay thanks for the hugs and chocolate people! (on the last thread)
But now I can’t tell if the lymph nodes are making me more ill. I can’t decide if I’m just sore from the running around, or catching something. *Gurgle*
Anyway, I like this thing where we have part of a comic strip on the home page!!!
Whoa we almost got to 400 posts on the last thread!!!
Red-tailed HAWK
THAT’S JUST CRUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE WERE ONE POST AWAY FROM 400 AND THE GAPAS SHUT IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 – NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?????????????????????????????? WE WERE GOING TO GET TO 400 POSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT RECORD WERE YOU TRYING TO BEAT, ANYWAY????????????????????????????????????????
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As my old Russian landlady used to say, “May that be the worst thing that ever happens to you.”
16 – Har-de-har-har-har.
*stomps around the room*
*counts to ten*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG
WE WERE 99.75% THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*counts to ten again*
*counts to twenty*
*counts to twenty-two hundred*
*calms down*
aaah that’s better.
16-Good point.
E2MB- See this.
Red-tailed HAWK
16-Hardy har har he ho ho.
18 – That’s a nice song. Where AAAUUGHH WE DIDN’T GET 400 POSTS ON PART 1 EVERYBODY WORK REAL HARD ON POSTING SO WE CAN GET 400 POSTS ON PART 2 did you get it from?
(13-15) chill man, chill. ‘sall cool.
I have my Language Arts and Health final tomorrow..oy. Health will be easy, but essays are not my strong point. -w- Oh well~
What are good ways to de-stress? Anyone have particular things they do?
20-New by Rob Thomas. I think it’s still in the top 20.
Ok all, please read this (at your own risk). I’ve been meaning to post it for ages.
RULES OF THE GAME:
1. If you know the game, you are required to play the game. Therefore, by reading this, you are basically promising to play it your entire life.
2. The goal of the game is to frget about the game. therefore, any time you remember the game, you lose.
3. If you lose, you must announce “I lost the game” either by saying it out loud, or by posting it on MB or something like that. It doesn’t matter if it will make you sound stupid, you still have to do it. If absolutely necessary you can just mouth it.
4. if you remember it because someone else said that they lost, you still lost and therefore still have to say that you lost.
5. after you lose, you have 42 minutes in which you can’t lose the game again. If you think of the game within this 42 minutes, you don’t have to say that you lost.
6. The only way to win the game is either to die outside of this 42 minutes or to die on your birthday, depending on which version you play. It doesn’t really matter, though, since you’re already dead by then.
So, of course, you just lost the game by reading this. all clear?
22-Okay, thanks!
hey GAPAs, 389 on the other thread, i’ve mentioned that teacher’s name about fifty bajillion times…if anybody wanted to/could stalk me by that name they would have already.
but kudos for zappage skillz anyway. it always makes me feel special when i actually catch you zapping something.
23- Most depressing game, ever. I lost the game.
23- Oh. I just lost the game. If you lose, then you can’t still play?
23-I lost about an hour ago…
Dangit! I lost again.
Question I’ve always wanted to know: for the picture on the random thread – does Larry Gonick draw a special comic for the random thread, or do the GAPAs find the perfect (which seems almost too coincidential, especially with the jelly thread) comic for the thread?
30-I was wondering that too!
30- Well, May Melee was a comic from Muse, so I imagine the Jelly was too. Could be wrong though.
Oh, and I lost the game.
30 – The GAPAs find the perfect comic for the thread. This strip comes from the May/June 2002 issue of Muse.
23 – That game is like the best PoPoing generator ever!!! Hahaha!!! You are all sucked into the realm of PoPoing!!!
So what if a thread was named October OrvilleRedinboker?
(35) Yeah, and I keep losing the game even though I keep forgetting about it because I am continually reminded of it from moderating posts by MBers announcing they’ve lost the game.
I lost the game.
27-Yes, you’re still playing for your whole life. You just can’t lose for another 42 minutes. But you can lose an infinite amount of times and still can, and must, continue playing. Wonderful, isn’t it?
36-They probably wouldn’t name it that.
AAAAAAAGH WHAT FREAKING GAME???? Please tell me. PWEASE. *puppy eyes*
oooh. I didn’t read RULES OF THE GAME. From now on, if I write ^*^ at the end of my post, it means I lost.
^*^
6- It’s still unpronounceable.
23- Don’t even start that. You’ll get people posting “I lost the game” every five minutes.
37- I keep losing because of reading such posts! *cries*
40-you’re supposed to actually say that you lost. but whatever.
41-Too late now.
Rule 7. A post announcing you have lost the game must include some additional statement of worth. (Well, “worth” as befits the Random thread.)
Oh, yeah, I lost again.
I lost. This game has, well, no point. Where did you hear/learn about it?
Tomorrow is my last day of school! I’m really excited! Today, I got out of school at 10:00, after my Civics and Spanish final, and tomorrow I get out at 9:00 (?!?) after my Biology final. Then I’m done! *jumps in joy*
45-From my cousin, originally, but then I learned rules closer to the ones I play by now from CTY.
23- I had been playing before that(or was I? If you don’t think of it, are you really playing?), and I’m not going to forget anytime soon. I lost the game. I’ve seen a rule that if anyone else mentions it and you read that, you still have the time before you lose?
I’m reading Wish You Were Here. I didn’t know Douglas Adams was a West Wing fan. I think I’m choosing that as my random fact of this week.
I have another 8 days of school. I have a final on the upcoming Wednesday, a final on Friday, a CO2 car test on Friday, a proficency exam on Monday, a final on Monday, a regents on Tuesday, and an essay on the last day of school. But tomorrow’s the last day of math. Because high schoolers get regents week off. I have to take regents exams. Why can’t school end already?
(25) Yes, Ebeth, you are remarkably careless. But we GAPAs will continue to do our duty, even if intermittently, and however quaint you may consider it and us.
By the way, how many people here know that “kudos” is singular? Kudos is just stuff, like glory or sand. There’s no such thing as a kudo. (It’s a Greek word, and “os” is a singular noun ending in that language. Think pathos, bathos, ethos, etc.)
(23) What is the point of that?
48- What’s the plural form, then?
(50), There isn’t a plural. “Kudos” is like “applause.” You don’t need to say “applauses.”
Technically, it should be pronounced with an unvoiced (hissy) s like the one in “loss,” not the z sound (like the s in “nose”) that we use to pluralize words that end in vowels. But only about 0.0001% of people who use the word know that.
51- I will from now on, though!
Put on headphones and listen to someone strike guitar chords. You can almost SEE it vibrating in the air in front of you! It’s red, or would be if you could see it. Which is weird, because I’ve always thought of guitar music as kind of a dull golden-amber, like honey. Not tinkly-golden, like bells. Those are much brighter.
No, I’m not one of those people who can taste color and stuff, but it’s fun to play at it. I did this associative thing once, I don’t know where it went. Oh, here it is.

My name is pink and blue, and my other name, Lecea, is the same color as guitar music. The song I’m listening to right now is leafy green.
Actually, Sunday might be silk, now I look at it again. Sorry if this is a triple-post.
But not that sorry. My other other name, not a Latin translation but a name that seems to suit me, is either black (weird… probably associated with the bearer of that name, who had black hair and wore mourning clothes. She was a book character in a book I was writing.) or green. My middle name is pink and my last name is white. (Not really, you don’t have to zap it.)
My naym is RED!!!
56- Well, obviously! But it’s reddish-brown to me.
good morning Muse peoples
yawn
58- Your name is purple.
I lost.
And I am done with Biology and Gym finlas. Which means only English is left…I HATE ENGLISH…AND MY ENGLISH TEACHER!!!
59- that’s strange purple is the same thing i think when i read Dracasting
I’ve lost. I’m not even going to say that I lost any more. I’m just going to forget about the whole thing. And then think about it right before I die. Which means I win!
*misses when he was part of the PoPoPo because there was PoPoing happening that he could have gotten a lot of choklit from*
Okay. With every post of mine, we’ll just… Wait, I’ll put it in my name! That saves me the trouble.
*sigh* I feel sad. Yesterday was my last day of school, so now I’m out for the summer. But it still feels like the weekend. I’m in the middle of getting my friends’ contact info, so that we can stay in touch. But I’m having to do this over e-mail and Wiis. The school’s going to be so empty next year…and I’m in 7th grade now. The only good part of that is that I’m a grade older than my friends from my old school.
Ahm……………E2MB is green-blue-black. My real name is yellow-orange.
How are you getting these colours?
We get out on Friday.
God, I can’t wait until Friday.
Because
Friday = last day of school and
Friday = downtown and
Friday = hanging out with him and
Friday = Die, Mommy, Die! and
Friday = yeah. Fun.
Since ATYP has been out (YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS), I’ve mostly been sleeping and playing guitar.
But I miss Drew and Georgi. Dearly.
Glassboro! Change your name! Every time I see it, I lose the game too! Umm… Well…. My proper name is dark brown, but the name that everyone calls me at school, which I prefer, is brown then reddish. Cinnamon moon is Orange, silver and green, Miriam is dark blue, and Soulsinger is silvery.
^*^
AAUUUGGHH. Four stinkin’ teeth pulled! My mouth is Novocain’d beyond belief and I can’t feel my lips. But at least I get twelve dollars. :D/D:
Dank. I lost The Game, for the second time today! NS was bad enough… No, I like The Game!
*falls under trance*
The Game…
c+q: Earth Science? If so, me too. I can’t remember what day it’s on, though. I think it is Tuesday… I’ll be taking the Math A in January, though. I have the State French Proficiency on Monday, too!
Where do you get these colors? My name is julia, so what color would that be? Oh, and I lost the game.
I lost the game. Several times. I hadn’t actually lost again till I came on the blog.
And my little sister is listening to Lum and Abner for the millionth time. And we only have three episodes.
71- These are the colors that our names seem like to us. For me, it’s often what a particular sound/letter sounds like. For example, my name is pink and blue, because A is pink, and L (and I) is blue.
I think your name is dark blue.
This thread always reminds me. *hides from June random thread*
Oh. And Iost the game again. You see, this game is invcredibly stupid. It is impossible! Everytime you announce you lost, someone els loses, which means you lose which means they lose etc.
75- Basically. Maybe it’s time to stop coming on the random thread. I’ll still see it on the recent comments bar though. Never mind.
“The only way to win the game is to … die…”
Sounds like something a life insurance agent would think up
I don’t know what my name would look like, but it’s made up of two prefixes, one that means bad, one that means good.
Alright, my mouth is feeling better now, but the floor of it (you know, under the tongue) is feeling whacked out, and so are the sides of the tongue. Ehhhgrg. I have an awesome party to go to on the 15th, so I hope it’ll be better by then and the root-holes won’t look like big bloodstained spots on my gum. Anyone else have tooth-y stories to share to cheer me up? Maybe we should have a Dentists/Orthodontists/Teeth thread.
I will make this somewhat long and filled wth nothingness. Of course, since Ityped that last sentance it might have filled up the space o nthe recent commments bar. I lost.
51-ha, now i feel really special, because that’s how i’ve always pronounced it
16-i seem to remember your old russian landlady saying that (or at least you posting somewhere else that she said that)
i don’t play the game. actually, i normally ignore the game, which leads people to think that i’m constantly winning the game, but people here seem rather enthralled with the game so i thought i should mention it to show that even amazing people like me lose the game occasionally (even if we’re not playing)
mrahr, pool lady keeps forgetting to put me on the work schedule which means she probably thinks i’m a stalker for calling her fifty bajillion times to make sure that i do, in fact, have a job and can make some money this summer for a new ipod or mp3 (yeah, i’m thinking about getting an mp3 instead…if i ever get the money, that is. of course that would cause new difficulties, like figuring out how to use it…but that shouldn’t take too long. anyhoo.)
ooh, and i’m taking guitar lessons this summer too. bass guitar. from sean’s dad, which is creepy because sean used to stalk my friend bill (female bill) and he’s also my lb’s friend.
randomness is cheesecake.
cheesecake is delicious
therefore, randomness is delicious.
and there you have, in three sentences, the entire basis behind the human species’ will to survive.
if that’s not random enough, i don’t know what is.
ILOVECHEESECAKE
and I agree with Ebeth about the game. And Ebeth, YOU WOULD GET AN MP3 PLAYER? The only one worth getting is a Zen, and those are rawther expensive.
ooowww. My mouth hurts and I’ve had three popsicles!
74,75,76 – Yesses keep up the pointless posting and play the game and then we will get 400 posts bwahaha Um, this game is cluttering up the random thread a bit. Maybe we should take it to an old, abandoned thread?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I Lost the game again!!!! Darn you E2MB! Of course, now I just made everyone ele lose the game again.
PEOPLE! YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! the LOTF/LOFP parody need dedicated writers to assist. it is not an RRR, so only come if you will stick with it. WE DESPERATELY NEED WRITERS! PLEASE COME! PLEEEEEEEEEASE! thank you.
16-Old Russian people say some of the most interesting things…one time, at one of my piano recitals, one of the other students’ relatives (an old Russian lady) came up to me and asked me if I was Russian. I said no, and she said that I had played very well, and that piano-playing would be my career…hm….
23-I don’t get it.
84- I’ve never read LOTF, so I can’t help. Sorry.
I’m not going to play the game anymore. It’s frustrating and boring.
I’m kind of stupid because I take games and such really serious, so I said “I lost the game” in the middle of history, and got lunch detention.
57-Me too!! MCS
Dangit, I read Glasboro’s post and lost again.
And again.
And again. You can see I’m reading these posts a lot in the recent comments bar and stuff. How about instead of posting each time, we count up our losses and then say I lost twenty times today instead of saying I lost I lost I lost each post.
I lost again. *is frustratedededed*
I have an F in language arts, and I’m the best writer. They probably lost all my worksheets or something stupid like that.
I lost reading my own post.
76- But my name will remind you…
80,81-About the Zen…Zen is a great music player (FM radio-count me in) and the touchpad is great, also I love the battery life, but incidentally it lacks an ecosystem–they don’t make a dock any more and the type of CD player that has an AUD input doesn’t sound good. If you think the Zen is too expensive (I didn’t pay for mine, by the way; won it) why don’t you try a Sansa Shaker? Those are kinda cool.
I had tetanus shots today. Then I talked with Fats, George and Eddie. Last night I went to a party at the Stan Mansion, home of the Red Star Fencing Club. Much fun.
The shaker is cool, the zune is ahead of it’s time (it will work once drm isn’t a problem, and microsoft surface is avalible), and ipods are generic/expensive. i love my nano, but it isn’t perfect.
cheesecake makes me throw up. sorry to ruin that, but processed cheese is EVIL.
could we have a thread to discuss programs & competitions that musers might not know about but would like? like cty or People to People.
My iPod battery died. Phooy.
And I lost the game
I’m trying to save u pfor an iPod, but it just isn’t working. That’s because last week at lunch some of my friends managed to name 51 reasonably well-know rock bands, plus some that I hadn’t heard. Because of this, I need to buy a lot of CDs.
My zen lasted two months. Then it refused to turn on. Now I have a 30GB iPod video that my dad got free at a conference (it wasn’t really free, it was sort of as payment for the conference) (don’t shoot me)
I lost the game.
92 – FIFTY-ONE ROCK BANDS? Wow. I can name……….. uh………….. zero. Oh man I’m pathetic.
there’s a Modest Mouse concert right after finals, and all of my friends are going, but I can’t. Even my History teacher is going.
My mom was getting His Dark materials from the library because i told her to read it, and the librarian asked her “you know that this is anti-catholic, right?”, so now I’m scared, because your librarians are the last people you want burning books. Then my mom gave this whole speech about how it only really talked about christianity as a whole, and was more about a fight against general religion, and how ITS ONLY A FICTIONAL STORY, but the librarian didn’t get it. *Sigh*
I lost again. And I don’t have anything of worth to contribute to the thread. Except that my script is 7772 words long.
96- Hey, cool!
23 – I lost! Gah. Did you make up the game or did it come from somewhere?
48 – A teacher of mine mentioned that once, but I’d forgotten about it until now. It’s kind of sad how I forget useful information like that and yet can’t get the game out of my thoughts.
53 – Interesting! I visualized them as navy blue, red, yellow, or green, depending on intensity.
I pictured my blog name as a sort of forest green, and my real name as dark red.
78 – Glad you’re feeling better! Hmm, teeth stories. I have two teeth that came in behind my other teeth that my dentist really wanted to remove, but they weren’t bothering me, so they’re still there. If I open my mouth at a certain angle they look like vampire fangs. And that probably didn’t cheer you up any, but oh well!
80 – Ah, a syllogism! I saw a lot of those in Logic class…too bad I’ve already forgotten most of what we learned about them.
85 – They do. Polish people do, too. My parents used to know an old Polish lady who would pray for them to have children, and every time she prayed that a stray dog would wind up at their door.
90 – People to People? Interesting that you mention it – I’m going on a P2P Australia/New Zealand trip this summer. I leave this Saturday, so I probably won’t be on the Museblog again until July 6th or 7th.
I usually like cheesecake, but I have eaten some pretty terrible ones.
91 – How long did you have your iPod before it died? I’m worried that mine will die soon and I’ll lose my music!
92 – Fifty-one??? I can name…I don’t know, a dozen maybe…nowhere near fifty-one, anyways. Wow.
90-cheesecake…processed cheese…connection? get some good cheesecake! it’s yummylicious.
omg huntr is soooo annoying he gts annoyed at me bcuz i dont talk lik this wch means he cant understand me omgz bcuz he only spekz stupid language wtf
sorry,
we’re having a garage sale. for which we have to get a permit. it costs a dollar. and we can only put up one sign, in our yard. no other signs pointing the way or anything. the sale has to be in our house or in the garage, not in the yard or on the sidewalk or anywhere else. we have to have a list of everything we’re selling to get the permit. all because of a few crazy-rich people in central/north snipville. There’s actually a section in the rules about what to do with estates. pretty crazy.
my script is permanently stuck on 780-ish words. the comp has been broken for three or four days now (hard to tell in summer). i doubt i’m going to win, unless we get the comp fixed and i manage to do some crazy speed-writing, but i don’t think the comp’ll be fixed any time soon. at least not enough for me to be able to be on it for long periods of time writing. i should probably start over on this comp, but it’s mom’s work laptop that she’s über-paranoid about, so i don’t get on it much, just in bits here and there. Ergh.
92-My very, very, very, very, rich friend gave me mine. It’s a green mini. They don’t make minies anymore.
Oops. There has been considerable confusion, because I forgot to write something. They were 51 bands that I hadn’t heard of, not that I knew.
(16, 80, 85, etc.) Yelena Aleksandrovna was my landlady during my sophomore year in college. “May that be the worst thing that ever happens to you” is what she would say whenever she caught me feeling sorry for myself — for example, when I was swamped with homework or had done badly on a test.
She was a real old Russian, born into a well-off family in Saint Petersburg before the Revolution. As a teenager she went to parties and balls, and she told me she had danced with Rasputin. Once we watched “Dr. Zhivago” together on television. There’s a scene during the Revolution in which desperate city dwellers cram into railroad boxcars to get out to the country as quickly as possible. “Uzhas!” I said (“that’s terrible”). “Is nothing,” she replied in English with a dismissive flick of her hand. “In my car there were horses.”
During the ensuing civil war, she married a young engineer who had become an officer in the anti-Bolshevik White Army. She spent her wedding night in an army truck. The White Army was pushed farther and farther back to the south until they stood on the shore of the Black Sea and had to escape by boat to Turkey. Just before Yelena Aleksandrovna boarded her boat, she heard pistol shots. The Cossacks were shooting their horses.
Eventually she and her husband made their way to America. She got a job in a cookie factory but quit after a day because nobody had told her to wear gloves and the cookies burned her hands. Then she set up shop as a fortune teller, reading palms and cards, Russian-style. (Russians tell fortunes with ordinary playing cards, not Tarot cards.) Her thick accent and exotic looks helped her, and business was good. “It was easy,” she said. “With the men, I talked about money. With the women, I talked about love.” Later she became an instructor in the Russian department at Swarthmore College. After she retired she used to rent out rooms to students, including me. Once I asked her what she had learned from her unusual life. She said, “I learned that people can be like Jesus Christ, or worse than the Devil himself.”
She said a lot of other things, too, but the saying about feeling sorry for yourself is the one I remember (and quote) most often. It just seems applicable to a lot of commonly occurring situations. You’ll probably hear me say it again.
(102) That’s an amazing story…I’ve been interested in the Russian Revolution since I was in fifth grade, and i got all sorts of books on it. It’s..wow I don’t know I’m just endlessly fascinated by that period in Russian history for some reason. And, I think a lot more people could do with someone like that telling them what she said, in so many words.
Also. Dr. Zhivago is a v. good movie.
Is nothing! In her car, there were horses.
You’ll meet people like her. You just have to listen to them.
Let’s talk about…*taps chin in thought*… performances! What’s the biggest one you guys have ever done?
102-She danced with Rasputin?!? Thats amazing, though. I just watched nicholas and Alexandra, and I have to read the book sometime this summer…..
105 – Hmmm… I’m not sure.
Rasputin was creepy. (Oh, big surprise there.)
105- If Only I Had A Green Nose, put on by some church or another, and dreadfully horribly moral.
102- that is the best landlady. I’d like to hear more of her sayings. I like that she danced with Rasputin. Parmandiriel told stories similar to that about her French teacher once.
I think I shall go and think on what colour my name is.
Well, good-night y’all.
109 – Turquoise?
109- I think your name is periwinkle. Or green.
102-that’s great she sounds really cool
105- solo, probably the concert with the orchestra after winning the dinky little local concerto competition. several thousand people.
Not solo, all-state (w00t).
I am now done with freshman year.
I will now start ignoring the game like I did while I was at camp last summer.
I have nothing more to say right now.
91- Did you try resetting it? What type of iPod is it? If it has a monochrome screen, go out and buy a new one. If it’s Photo or above, try resetting it and replacing the battery (you can buy new ones almost anywhere).
114.- What instrument?
yyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i have a sleepover tonight
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
118. Ooooh! I luv sleepovers!
By the way, I meant to spell luv that way, it’s my trademark.
102-Wow…that is so cool! Do you still know her, or…?
78- I had four teeth pulled out a couple weeks ago. They’re fine now. I had to do it in two lots, so that I could still chew on one side.
(120) Oh, she died years ago. She would have been 120 years old by now.
You can read more a bit about her here. (“Helen” is the Americanized version of her Russian name.) There may even still be copies of her biography floating around in used-book stores.
I need a really horrible name. Like a name everyone hates and s kind of witchy. Quick!
(123) Griselda?
I just had teeth pulled today. Now I don’t have anything to do other than the computer, not that I’d do much else anyway. This is living hell…

Sigh… I just got my summer reading assignment in the mail. They want us to read a book about Greek Gods (and Muses!) and write a review of each myth we read and fill out two graphic organizers (not for each myth). *groans* We’ve been out of school for all of twenty four hours. I was just going to do it and get it over with, but we have to actually remember it for quizzes and stuff in the first week of school. So now I have to do it and review, so therefore probably read the book twice this summer.
Ahh… I feel better now that I’m done complaining.
125: I’m sorry. feel better soon, okay?
I lost the game. several times.
98- Hey, I’m going to Australia July 18-August? Don’t have an itinerary yet, but I can’t wait.
123- Haggatha?
I know. I’ve had it done before, but that was a year ago. It’s been an hour or two, and my bottom lip’s still numb. I forget how long it took last time.
On the game, just put it in your name. Then you don’t even have to bother writing it more than once!
Only ONE more day of school left!!! W00tity w00t w00t w00t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A joke to humor you all:
Q. What animal is always at the library?
A. A turtle.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*applause*
I have decided to go with Harriet and Hortense. If you can find an alternative to Harriet I would much appreciate it, but I want something not to famous or evil sounding, just a hideous name. Muchas Gracias!
Is that an old Koko and Comp.? If so, WHERE’S THE REST of it? You seem to have reached the end… And on Part 2, too! Too too too too too too too too too too many too’s… *drumroll*
109-e~a the sock monkey is light purple and a little white, but widdershins is a light brown and kind of purple dots.
116-It’s a mini. Resseting it? How do you do that?
I lost the game three times today
122- She became famous among gangsters? Oh kay…
131- The “hahaha *aplause*” made me laugh.
132- Does it have to start with an H? Hathor? Hersilia? Hertha? Yes, I’m reading these off a names site. I just picked a few of the worse-sounding ones at random. Why don’t you look through one and see what they have, because there are tons on there that I’m sure would suit your purpose.
123- What for?
Hmm…what about Agnus, Agnes, or Agatha?
hey, it didn’t block me. anyways, i am sick. i have a fever and chills and i puked at 1am last night and i feel CENSORZ.
just giving an update.
138-I’m sorry. I hope you feel better soon.
Mr. Coontz, what was her Russian name?
Yelena Aleksandrovna Shatagina, after she married — Helen Shatagin, in English. I don’t remember her maiden name.
139- I’m not Mr. Coontz, but, her name was Yelena Aleksandrovna.
Before you ask, I’m psychic.
Actually, Robert said so in Comment 102.
My hard drive didn’t work for 2 hours. I thought it had crashed.
(141) “Aleksandrovna” (accent on the third syllable: ah-lek-SAHN-druv-na) was her middle name, her patronymic. It meant that her father’s name was Aleksandr. If she had been a man, her patronymic would have been Aleksandrovich. The respectful way for adults to address one another is (or was; manners may be different now) first name plus patronymic. In her case, that was Yelena Aleksandrovna. If I had been of her generation and not a close friend, she probably would have called me Robert Robertovich. As it was, she just called me Robert, which was fine.
143- Your dad was named Robert too? You learn things every day. Were you, by any chance, a third child?
70- The last Earth Science class I’m ever taking. It is Tuesday. And I have Italian, but otherwise, pretty much the same. The Math A Regents is easy.
The high-school-wide math final, in my school at least, is hard. Two hours, forty five minutes this morning. I’m so tired.
105- Singing with the Selet Chorus on the radio possibly had a big audience, but in the room there was only us, the conductor, and a radio-person. After that, pretty much every school performance has the same number of people at it. I’ve been in two plays, 6 band/jazz band in school this year(one I had a solo in, which I messed up), 4 band in school last year, 3 band in school the year before that, one really horrible solo in the talent show two years ago, one jazz band at community day last weekend, and ten to fifteen select chorus concerts each year for the past three years. All of which probably had between fifty and two-three hundred people watching. I can’t differentiate between them.
The fact that summer vacation starts today is just dawning on me. I think I’m going to be smiling absentmindedly all night.
I have been on vacation since the beginning of this month. It’s so nice! No homework, no bedtimes, no rules, no nothing! It’s awesome! I don’t think I’ll get bored this summer like I did last year, since I started posting on MB, but sometimes summer just seems too long. We have 3 months.
I’m going to get math tutoring. I’m not fond of math at all.
Hi!
I am bored so I’m making up a super-strange username. I haven’t been here in forever. What have I missed?
hi!
I changed my username again.The other username I might use would be AmberSwordfire, so if you see either of those, they’re from me.The names are from a novel I’m writing with my bes t friend BTW. 147:I’m off school too and I’m bored already. Probably I’m like the only one who can post except for people in this town near me with a teacher strike. They get to skip finals-lucky them!
148: I like math. It’s fun! I like doing it. I’ll do your math for you!
My favorite kind of jelly is lingonberry jelly. It’s a Scandinavian thing, kind of like cranberries and kind of like raspberries. you can get it at Ikea. I really like Ikea. BTW, I keep forgetting to say that I lost the game.
May I make up a poem? Thank you. It will be a haiku. I am a haiku master.
Baby robin shrills
Its beak opening up wide
Waiting for its food
Thank you, thank you.
(Gives a bow)
155- I LOVE lingonberry jelly! i get it for my dad every christmas.
*frowns disapprovingly at spellcheck* You ought to acknowledge that lingonberry is a word, you bad thing.
Anyhow, AdrienneWildwind, who were you before?
Oh dear. That should be 151. Oops.
I like any kind of jelly. I love jelly on toast or biscuits. When I vacationed in Europe last year, the breakfasts were very good! My family didn’t like them, but I did. They had fried eggs, cooked tomatoes, baked beans on toast, sauteed mushrooms, and sausage (although I’m a vegetarian now). I liked it a lot, but my family said it was too salty.
Can’t…..stop…..posting…..dying…..cheescake…..I…need….cheesecake…….\
this statement is wrong.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Try to wrap your brains around THAT one!
Okay, I’ll come back in an hour and see if anyone else has posted. I hope so!
P.S. My user name is black and the color of a storm cloud(there are ni good words to describe that color) my reall name is lilac and the color of old lace, my nickname is turqouise and red, my middle name is golden and pink, my last name is bright lime green.
156- You haven’t been here in ages, you don’t eat/need/like cheesecake, you like lingonberry jam, you’re a haiku master . . . I have no clue who you are.
Hang on! Are you and GazoombafromtheCheesePlanet one and the same?
AAAAAAAAAAAGH. I couldn’t sleep last night and I finally got to sleep at three in the morning and the roofers woke me up at 8:45. OH CRUEL WORLD.
158-Yes, krool woreld.
Anybody miss me?
I have been gone for a couple of days.
I wasn’t feeling well a few days ago, remember? Well, now I am actually SICK.
Highest fever: 104.something. average: 102/103.
Tired.
Sore.
This is the last day of school, I should be celebrating, but instead I’m reporting on my absence.
If anybody had a question for me, or if anything cool happened since I was here, please give me a link or something.
I will check for new threads.
RtH
I knew I was forgetting something…
I went to the doctors like two days ago and they didn’t know what was wrong. Took three tubes of BLOOD, a throat culture, a urine sample, and poked and prodded looking for whatever. OH and blood pressure and pulse and heart beat thing and checked breathing. *Is exausted even two days later*
RtH
159,160-Ow. I hope you feel better soon.
Yeah, I’m awake. I haven’t eaten yet. But I have a new Panasonic stereo system. It’s very nice.
INC: I knew that about patronymics. Just so you know.
(144) Nope, first.
(161) I felt sure you did.
160- Oh, you poor thing. Have lots of get-well-soon pie for eating, virtual Choklit and hugs. I really hope that you are feeling better soon. When ever someone feels bad, I feel bad as well. And on your last day of school too. I didn’t notice that you were gone as I haven’t really been on that much myself, but I miss you now.
I GOT MY SIGNATURE SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
:idea::idea::idea:
I like jelly. JELLYFISH! *throws live jellyfish all over the place* Mwa ha!
160- Here’s a pie with “get well soon” written on it! I hope you feel better soon!
I’m a first child too, Robert! I wonder what MBers are or whether we’re a mix of different birth orders.
Oh, I’m sorry, RtH. I hope you feel better soon.
I’m an older child too. I was just wondering because there’s this thing that says:
First boy is named after paternal grandfather.
First girl is named after maternal grandmother.
Second boy is named after maternal grandfather.
Second girl is named after paternal grandmother.
Third boy is named after the father.
Third girl is named after the mother.
Everyone after that can be called after various relations; admired figures; and so on.
166-I’m a first child!!!
Thanks for the hugs and pies!!!
I’m feeling a little better at the moment, but that could change any time. *Gorges on pies and chocolate*
Yummy!
RtH the Feeling a Little Better Now
Just wondering, has anyone heard the new Daddy Yankee featuring Fergie?? IT’S AWESOME!!!!!!
I’m a second child; the youngest (well, younger, since there’s only two of us and you need three to have a youngest). I’m named after my mother’s grandmother.
168 – that would only work in some cultures, though – my family is Jewish (reform), and apparently in Jewish culture it’s an insult to name your child after a living relative – it’s like saying “I wish you were dead”.
I’m an only child! What now? lol
172- Yikes.
My middle name is the name of a great-great-grandmother, but I’m not sure.
I’m an only child. I think my name is after what my mom’s aunt called her and that my middle name is after my one of my mom’s best friends, her high school librarian.
I am the eldest child, first, and named after my great-great-grandmother or my dad, or my grandfather depending on how you want t olook at it. My dad’s name is Julian, his dad’s is Julian (my grandfather) his dad’s is Julian (my great-grandfather) and his mom is Julia(my great great grandmother). My name is Julia, so you decide.
I am named after my mother’s aunt. My middle name is a family name from my dad’s side (it is a last name, not a first name)
I’m named after my Mom’s favorite saint, and my grandfather’s middle name.
Yeah, I’m named after my father’s great-uncle or grandfather, I can’t remember which. Both my siblings were named after my grandmother (sort of. Her’s were MJ, my sis is MJ and bro is JM.) Like Lizzie said, it’s a jewish tradition to name your children after dead relatives.
HAW HAW HAW HAW SUMMER
MUCH REJOICING
Now I’m going to sit at my computer and wait for AX to email me about the SKIN tickets..sigh….Oh the things I do for Gackt.
As for names, my middle name is Mariko, which my mom thought was like “Little Mari” since her name is Marilyn… I guess that works. XD The actual meaning would depend on the kanji used.
I can’t say exactly where my name comes from or you could look me up (even with my first name) but I think I can say that my first and middle names don’t have anything to do with my family.
Wowsers! I lurve summer! The only problem with that is that now I have nothng to do. Boredom. I need a hobby.
You have peanut butter in your shoe.
182-The summer is a great time to (well, of course relax and recover from school) but also get some stuff done that you wish you could have been doing during school. Make a list; I have trouble thinking of things too in the summer.
i’m a first child who unfortunately has a younger brother….i was named after my great-grandma/it’s kind of a family name
184-learn esperanto! i started that last summer, but it kind of dropped off during the skool year…i should get back to that…
This might be my last post on the random thread before I leave for France and my last post on it until July. That’s assuming that I don’t have time tomorrow. And for the second one that I don’t have internet in France. *is sad*
Have fun in France! Where are you going, if you get a chance to answer? We went to Paris for a week and then drove to the south of France and Arles. We then crossed to Italy and then Germany. Of course, that was about 5 years ago when gas was cheaper and the dollar was worth more than the Euro.
SSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL””””””””SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
187 – Have fun in France!
188- Chamonix, in the French Alps. I’m on again, I finished packing early.
189- I wish that I was so excited about it.
190- I’ll have trouble doing that, as if I have any chance to get on the net I’ll only be allowed to go on every two or three days at this point.
Let us know if you get to go up in the Eiffel Tower! when my family went there, we went to the very top. It was beautiful! You could see for miles!
-WRITHES IN AGONY-
WHY DOES ANIME EXPO CHOOSE TO DO THIS DO ME.
WHYYYYYYY.
I am leaving for Mexico next Friday.
we should have somewhere to suggest things to do in the summer. My suggestion: create things. (write, draw, paint, bead, etc.)
Speaking of summer vacations, I’m leaving for mine next Monday. It’s going to be awesome! My family is going to Paris, Malon, Venice, and Rome! yay!
Well. Hmmmmmmmm. Things we could do. Let’s see….
1. Read books that we wish we could have read during school
2. Draw beutiful portraits of all our friends from school using our yearbooks. Then draw aweful portraits of the people we didn’t like.
3. Make up annoying songs that we could sing on our vacations while we’re driving/flying to our destination to ammuse us.
4. Run around the yard screaming. You definetly couldn’t do that in school!
5. Pass the time by making pointless Power Point presentations on the computer.
6. Start writing a novel about a deranged squirrel.
7. Set up a lemonade stand in our front yard. Attract civilians by playing your instrument or by performing acrobatics.
8. Have your parents drop you off at a mall. When you see someone interesting there, follow them around for the whole time. Make sure they don’t see you. If anyone asks, just tell them that you are on a top secret mission.
9. Sit down with a Rubics cube. Instead of trying to get all the same color on each side, try to mix everything up so much that it would practically impossible to solve.
10. Pretend that your house is an exotic jungle. Then crawl through it as if you are on a safari. Beware of your cat! It’s a raging tiger!
Hmmmm. That might keep me occupied.
Hi I’m back!
Not many posts since I was here…
187-have fun!
Well, the test results should be back today but they aren’t.
Anything I should know about on the blog???
The Sad, Sick HAWK
Wait. My mother was just on the phone with the doctor again, and they had called the lab…
I have…mono! OH joy.
199- My friend had mono. I feel sorry for you. HERE BE HUGGLES. *hugs*
I am suffering from Muse deprivation. I hate the summer because that’s when the two-month issues come out and then you don’t have a Muse for all of June and all of August. >_
At least it’s not during the school year. seriously, then you have to either miss all the work and fail class, or do it all using some special method while you’re sick.
187- have a good time in France!
In 2 weeks- CampCampCampCampCampCamp!!!!!!!!!!
*happiness*
200-Thanks! But I know what you mean…LONG_TIME_WIV_NO_MUSE!!! Waaahhh!!!
197- Beautiful. Awful. Amuse. Definitely. Other than that, sounds like a fun list!
199- What is mono again? I don’t even know, but I now that it must be awful. I’m sorry.
196- Lucky.
199- Hope you feel better!
203- Mononucleosis. It’s symptoms are like those of influenza, and you get white spots in the back of your throat. My friend had it once.
Sorry about the 2post, but…
Hey, guys, I think I have a great idea for an RRR!!! Just maybe… Ok so the main plot would be however-many-MBers-participate (or just a few) characters, and no one would ever meet, except in Dreamland…I mean that literally. The characters would see each other in dreams, and dreams only. In their dreams (or this one big dream), each character would have ONE power…just one, and they would all use these powers to defeat Nightmares, or creatures therefrom. The point would be that kids are no longer only having their own nightmares, but the boundaries have been broken down, and kids are having nightmares that weren’t meant for them to have. The story could also include parts of the characters’ daily lives, and it wouldn’t be written in letters, or anything, but characters could only be controlled by the MBer who came up with them…make sense?
157: Maaaaaaaayybee, maaaaaaybeee not. I think you will be able to figure out. (Yes.) All right, I used to be emeralda7 ages ago, but that name is extremely boring. I lost the extremely depressing game. Has anyone here ever read Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood? It’s sad but funny and sweet. I am more or less obsessed with books.
205-That was a 2post??? Where’s the first??? *Is confused*
I will now stop taking up valuable blog space with posts about me being sick.
RtH
205- oooh, that sounds like fun. I like that idea.
205- That is a really good idea. I think it’d be fun. How bout it, GAPA?
132: Prunilla? My best friend has a baby name book with names for everything! Unfortunately, she isn’t with me at the moment. I did see her this morning, because both our moms had to come into work. They are the librarians at our school.
199: Poor baby. Tee-hee.
200: Absolutely right. No Muse=WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like exclamation points.
205-YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love writing fantasy, so that is more or less perfect. Bye now!
Oh yeah, forgot to say: 197-cool ideas!
196; I’m leaving on a four-day vaction to Philadelphia on Tuesday. But I will have to leave you all, and for that I weep. BTW: I DO like cheesecake. The Cheesecake Factory is opening up near me! Happy!!!!!
(205) Would that be better as an RRR or more of an RPG or something more loosely defined?
205- Yes! I want to do that! Please, GAPAs? Anyhow, ‘bye! See you in a couple of hours, the sheep are calling me. Don’t start without me, please! (Oh, how likely is that now?)
I have an idea for getting a letter published in Muse! Yay! It’s a good one, too. It should work… It involves Pinball Wizard, my vacation, and my house.
212- RRRPG!!!
214- I think you told us this before…
I am feeling very apathetic and depressed today. I think I might actually be missing school….
No fair!!! Everyone is done with school it seems…except me!!!! I’m homeschooled and don’t quite have that required 180 days yet. I’m almost there! But still, not fair!
212- I think it would be like RRR.v.2006.5, or whatever one it was that had about a hundred characters, all of which knew how to fight, because everyone created their own character rather than there being a few very well-developed ones. (Yeah, I made that sound bad. I don’t mean it like that.) Just one question. Would we be able to control other people’s as well as our own, or would there be no dialogue at all, except among NPCs?
There’s still 2 May threads on the main page!
207-The GAPA’s deleted my other one…and the one before that…because they mentioned something not-so-secret…if you know what I mean…and I can’t tell you what it was, because then this one might be deleted. Meh.
212-It would be kind of like a mix of the two, only closer to an RRR. And, as I said in my description, we could just have a few characters, and leave the Role-Playing out of it. Whatever everyone decides.
218-I don’t know what you mean by NPC’s, but each person could only control their own character. Or, if we didn’t do RPG, then everyone could control anyone.
220-That is an AWESOME IDEA!!!! I CANNOT SAY IT ENOUGH TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother helped with the exclamation points, by the way.
219-Really? How strange! What was the May one called, anyway? How many threads did we get to? I remember in February or something we got up to about five, and then there was a lot of trouble about people just writing to say “I got the first post!” or “19 POSTS TO GO!!” and stuff like that. I never did that, of course.
I lost the game, as always. Maybe on thread 3 I will forget the game.
189- *glares*
Please no one do that. Three more days. I don’t want it to end. But I do. I feel confused and sad. And I was so happy at the end of school today, because of what had happened there, not because of 3 days left. Marching band will be my salvation from boredom.
220- NPCs = Non-Player Characters. I’ve read the Dungeon Master’s Handbook way to many times. Or rather, the beginning of the Dungeon Master’s Handbook. I never got very far . . .
Who feels like going Emo today? Raise your hand. *raises hand*
hehe. The following amused me and those of you who know of the ballad of Tam Lin may find it amusing too. I have edited out the phone numbers for no particular reason but eh.
Hello Trusted Friend,
I must apologise for any discomfiture you are experiencing as you read this letter and solicit your utmost confidence by virtue of this proposal. Let me introduce myself to you. I am Miss Janet Lin, a director at the First Bank of Carterhaugh. I came to you in confidence because of some money, namely TWENTY-EIGHT MILLION GOLD COINS (28,000,000.000 gold coins) belonging to my missing husband, Thomas (Tam) Lin, who was abducted by the faeries in a ghastly incident many years ago. The money has been buried under a thorn hedge for seven hundred years. I have given up hope that my beloved THOMAS LIN will return and so have decided to retrieve his money and move to Tir Na Nog. I want you to help claim the buried money as you are a source for good investment. For this we are prepared to give you a reasonable percentage of the money. Meanwhile 15% (FOUR MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND GOLD COINS) has been set aside for you and the rest will be for me and my milk cow called Derek. For the intrest of doing business please do not hesitate to contact MR DEREK GUERNSEY on (fake phone number) Fax (fake fax number) IMMEDIATELY. I thank you for your cooperation and warn of DIRE CONSEQUENCES if you fail to solicit my confidences.
On a completely unrelated note, somebody has finally put Neko no Onegeashi on Youtube! Yay!
hey, is no one awake?
228 – I’m awake! And so is Robert, apparently.
Not for long. It’s late here, and I have a lot to do tomorrow. ‘Night, all.
230 – Well, good night.
And speller73 (or more commmonly known as rose [not bibliorose, rose from the spelling bee]) must be awake, as she just posted on the spelling bee thread.
226 – Don’t clog the blog, please.
I just came back from a party! It was fun. There was a huge trampoline, and a bonfire, and food, and conversation. I am happy.
Good morning, everyone! *yawns* I hope speller73 comes to the random threads, she’ll probably have fun if she’s not dazzled by weirdness. Has anyone here read East? I know quite a few people on one of the RRRs were talking about it. Is anyone interested in books? If so, I could recommend a few. Tell me what you’re looking for. By the way, how do you make smileys and stuff? I used to know, but I think I forgot.
234- I’ve read East. It was good. What RRR, though? And for books, you want to go to the Books and Reading thread.
134- I have read and LOVED East and I bet it’s a book that FS would like to for some reason. If you have any reccomendations we’d love to hear but go to the aforemnetioned thread.
I hung out with Penty last night at a Muse-related party. We tried to do a double post on my dad’s Treo on the way there but it didn’t work. It was soooo fun and I THOUGHT I saw Robert but I don’t think it was him. I was there because of my top-secret MiB project and Penty was there because of hereditary connections. But the food was GREAT and we had soda and talked about MuseBlog and writing books.
And we also set up a fantabulous plan: everyone in the Chicagoland area, go to the Harry Potter release party at the Barnes and Nobles in Evanston, the one that just moved. Me and Penty’ll definitely be there!
237-I wishhhhh….
hey all, i definitely just got limewire to work on the latest new old comp. squee!
Hi
240 – Don’t clog the blog, please.
OMG! I’m being abducted by bunnies!
237-Sounds like fun to me. I can’t go to the HP party because I’ll be at camp, but I’ll think of you.
242 – Don’t clog the blog, please.
237 – Wow. That does sound fun.
224-noooooooooooooooo!
242-Don’t worry, they don’t bite too hard.
Whoa-I’m in Safari right now. The blog looks so different! The text, the submit and go buttons, everything!
Anyway, our TV just died like 20 minutes ago, and we opened it up and something in the tube had burned.
OH and the ?|? things look like they are in diamonds!!!
RtH the ed
Okay now I’m in explorer. Safari is TERRIBLE!!!
249 – Really? I guess it just takes a bit of getting-used-to, but I think Safari is the awesomest thing ever! And Internet Explorer doesn’t work well at all on Macs.
What does the blog look like on Explorer?
I like Firefox, and have used it since all my nice websites started shutting down on Safari.
250-The text of your post is “Arial” when put into word, the submit button is a large white rectangle, the go button is a small green square, and the things between your name and the date looks like this: | just a line.
It’s really weird! And the font on the home page looks weird especially the large links to threads.
What I didn’t like about safari was how slow it was. It didn’t want to go to any of the blog pages after my first post within it.
Anyway, maybe blog traffic was heavy at that moment…
The text on the home page is “ArialMS” and the text in the links is “Georgia”.
NONONO!!!!!!! I’m so stupid. THAT’s how it is in SAFARI. *Hits head on table* Let me see how it is in explorer, as you already know what it looks like in safari!
Now I feel really stupid.
All of the text font is the same for both, but in safari, the lines of the text are thicker.
But the two buttons are different and the diamonds look like a |.
RtH, you do know that was a quadruple post, right?!
256 – Yes, but his posts weren’t pointless, so we can’t fine him anything.
256-Well, I think he can be forgiven (maybe), because he kind of had to make multiple posts since he had to keep signing out.
Oh, sorry about 2post, but…
can we have a thread for my idea, perchance? It could be called Discovering Dreamland, or something like that.
259- I’m still unclear on the concept, but I don’t think that you want it to be a Role-playing type thing. There couldn’t be any dialogue if it was.
But ANYWAY, I second Shadowkat’s request.
248- One time our tv got struck by lightning. We unplugged it afterwards, and it still was static and didn’t turn off at all.
I’m using Firefox!
And did anyone find my Tam Lin spam spoof amusing?
249- NO! I ♥ Safari. Safari pwns Explorer, anyday!
261- ditto.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
263-Everything and its neanderthalistic grandmother (don’t ask) pwns IE. But firefox FTW!
262- I did! I didn’t get the cow part, never having heard of a cow being involved, but the rest was funny.
Three of us want it (Shadowkat, T.N.O, and I) and I’m sure lots of people will come if it is made! Please, GAPAs?
262-haha, i did! actually, i found the ballad pretty amusing too.
262 –
I’m using internet explorer.
Safari is SO the best!
Well.This is my last day before I leave MuseBlog for a whole month. I’m trying to think of something important to say, but I can’t think of anything.
Being abducted by the bunnies was interesting. They told me that on my trip I had to take a giant picture of a bunny7 with me to take pictures with. Perhaps I will.
260, 266-True…alright, no Role-Playing, just an RRR. You know, I think the GAPA’s are just trying to torture us by making us wait for, like, ever…*hem, hem*…:puppy eyes:
(262) I liked your Tam Lin spoof. (“Tam Lin” is one of my favorite spooky old ballads.) Did you write it?
GAPA’s, pleeeeaaaaaase can we have the Discovering Dreamland RRR???
262 – I loved that spoof – it was like, yesshh, this would be the coolest spam-mail ever to get.. did you make it?
I use internet explorer but I have a horrible computer so I don’t know what it’s like compared to anything else. The only thing I’ve ever used is internet explorer. I wish i had a mac…..*sighs*
WE GOT THE RRR!!!! WE GOT THE RRR!!!!! WE GOT THE RRR!!!!!!!!!! Thank you GAPAs! *gives everyone a big virtual hug*
Bye, kiwimuncher! see you soon!
My mom was cutting our guinea pigs toenails (we have three of them) and one of them has black toenails and she accidentally cut past the quick and he started bleeding! It was So Sad!!!! He stopped bleeding eventually though.
I’M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! w00t!! Catalina was great! I completed every merit badge! I even survived sleeping in a shelter i built! But l lost my watsh and foxes stole my brownies… but it was cool!!!
257/258-Yeah yeah I forgive him cuz he kind of needed to do that.
275-*gag* Merit Badges. The bane of my existance. *dies* I quit a million years ago.
I’m in Opera. The font is… Dunno. The submit button is a grey rectangle surrounded by a black outline. The Go! button is a small green rectangle surrounded by a white outline. When I go into Firefox, the font is smaller, and there is a speech bubble by the side of each comment. The submit button has no outline. Everything is longer and thinner.
265, 267, 271, 273- No, sadly, I did not write it, I found it on the internet. I’m glad you found it amusing, though! I would also enjoy receiving in my email and I have no clue who the cow is either, though he was amusing.
266- I said I wanted it, too, way back when it was first suggested!
275 – Congratulations! Does this mean you are a boy scout? I’m one too!
279- Yes, even though boy scouts stands for everything l don’t. But I’m telling you people, my troops different! Most of us are atheists and none of us are serious about scouting!
BEACHYBEACHBEACH
I went to the beach. It was totally awesome and the water was really warm and when I wasn’t frolicking in the lake I was reading Many Waters. But then it started to rain. Natch.
280 – But-but-but how can you be a boy scout if you aren’t serious about it?
Agagabagabag, what rank are you?
Have you gotten the swimming merit badge yet?
By the way, I HATE it when boy scouts do stupid stuff like throw lizards in the girls bathroom or overturn portapotties when somebody’s in them. It gives boy scouts a bad name.
There’s been exactly 1 new thread every day for the past 7 days.
I just noticed, we get a new thread in ten posts!
Zurg BSA. My poor cousin is still being forced through it and it’s “serve God serve USA” pledge. *eyeroll* Not that I used to beat up kids like that in grade school… *innocent look* But I’ll keep the majority of my BSA rantage to myself. Keep it civil and all.
Well, this whole convincing-the-parents-I-should-LARP thing isn’t going so well. Mumsy’s convinced I’ll get raped or something. Which totally isn’t the case. It’s just a bunch of geeks RPing in costume, in the woods, for a weekend. No big deal. I know a good number of them. She’s just all twitchy because the ones she knows and I know are mostly in their 20’s. Big deal. *eyeroll* I’m not very good at being trusted, am I? *goes off, being sullen*
I hate summer. I’m also losing a lot at SF, but I’ll have nearly all day tomorrow to myself. So I’ll do much catching-up.
On lighter ♪s:
I’ve always read/thought of/heard Gunga Din as a drinking song. You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din…
Adam Ant is my new hero slash object of fangirl affection. Prince Charming, Prince Charming, ridicule is nothing to be scared of…
I now have an additional bookshelf in my room because I worked up the motivation to bring one up from our nasty basement. I still may have stacks of books loitering around, but that’s totally okay, because they’re quite comforting. ^_^
283 – Noop noop noop. We need 400 posts before we can start a new random thread or else I will pointless post with no mercy on June Jelly, part 3.
284 – BSA does not have a “serve god serve USA” motto! The motto is “be prepared”! The scout slogan is “Do a good turn daily!” And the scout oath has nothing about God! I quote:
On my honor,
I will do my duty,
To guard my country,
And obey the Scout Law,
And to keep myself physically strong,
Mentally awake,
And morally straight.
The only part that has anything to do with god is when you recite the pledge of alleigance to the flag of the USA, when you say “…..one nation, under god, indivisible….”
286- I knew the stuff about the motto. But seriously, the one pledge the kids in that troop say has an additional line about God. That’s quite weird… o_O
284- What’s LARP? If RP stands for Role Playing, what’s LA stand for? Los Angeles Role Playing? Landed Aliens Role Playing? Lovely Art Role Playing?
288 – Live Action Role Playing, I believe
MAN my head hurts. It makes me forget anything I wanted to say!
289- Oh, that makes more sense than “Little Antelopes Role Playing.”
Why is my comment after Alice’s in the recent comments bar when it is before on this page???
292 – Because it was posted earlier. Here, the most recent comments are at the bottom, while on the recent comments sidebar the most recent ones are at the top.
Oh my gosh it’s only one and a half weeks until the July Muse!
Ooh, don’t we feel special! The Econimist ran an article on how the oil and gas boom out here is negatively effecting our econemy, environment, and leading to an increase in crime. *groan* Funny, though, there was this quote from somebody who said “you don’t live in Wyoming to be sociable” heh…
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
Hi everybody! I have just discovered the secret of posting in different fonts! Roll your mouse over this text in order to find out how to do it.
Weird. It didn’t quite work.
NOW it works.
GAPAS!!!!!!!!!!! WYOMING HAS A POPULATION OF LESS THAN 1 MILLION PEOPLE!!!!!!! THAT VIOLATES THE RULES!!!!!!
Nope. You’re allowed to list your state. It’s metropolitan areas that have the million-inhabitant threshold.
299 – Ah.
MWAH HA HA!!!!! POST 300!!!!!!!!
Um… um… grr. Can’t think of anything to make this a non-pointless post.
298- yes… but Wyoming isn’t a city. That I know of anyway. *_*
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
May we have an RRR involving time travel? I know another RRR just got started, but we can wait a while before it’s up.
(286) loloolollllll so many subliminal messages in that pledge.
*thinks of something random*
I went to the barber once and he cut my ear. We should have sued.
Hello Museblog. I’ve been gone a while. Did you notice? Just kidding, don’t answer that. Anyway, I went to Paris for two weeks.
In Paris I went to the Catacombs. I’ve wanted to ever since that Muse article! It was so cool. The walls were made of human bones and skulls.
I took a picture of me reading Muse in the Catacombs. I’m going to send it in. I wonder if they’ll publish it?
How has everyone’s summer been so far?
Wait, I just thought of something! There was a mothers day thread, but not a fathers day thread! Fathers are so underappreciated. lol
297 (E2MB) – When I put my mouse over that post, a message came up that said “hiya peoples.” How did you do that??
305 (Skipper) – Welcome back! Human bones and skulls? That’s…original. Sounds like fun!
306 (E2MB) – I noticed that too…indeed…
306- My father isn’t underappreciated!!!!!!! how dare you generalize!!!!!! does the million-inhabitant threshold mean you can state your area if it has more than 1 million people? I cna’t tell how many people live around here, but I live in MA.
293-But, um, maybe I said it wrong. Anyway, I knew, and know, that, so I must have said it backwards.
My head still hurts so I can’t remember how it was at all, so we can’t say any more about it.
RtH teh SORE
So if two times it twice and three times is thrice is four times quice?
305- Oooh. My mom went to Europe and she was going to go to somewhere like that, but she didn’t.
My dad is going to drag me along on an Intergenerational Elderhostel sometime in July! And I ♥ intergens. We get to kayak all over the place until our arms are ready to fall out, and we get to drive to all these museums, and last but not least . . . THE KAYAK RODEO! I have in the past gone to the rodeo and only the rodeo, because there are things like:
Races
Tag
Relay races
Kayak rafts,
AND
Dead fish polo. (With a fake fish, naturally.)
Maybe my dad will even make me a Greenland paddle in time for that. They’re much better than Euro paddles.
284-“Oh Canada” is also a popular Scottish drinking song.
311-You’ve never seen the All-Canada Annual Rodeo, have you? I think you might enjoy it.
I have finished with my Cody Linley collage. Because let’s face it–he’s very handsome.
312- Never. But it sounds fun. Unfortunately, I don’t live in Canada. But my dad is probably going to take me to one of his kayaking conventions next year – this year I missed it, being busy with SF – and they have rodeos there. Of course, I’ll have to learn to capsize first . . . I mean capsize while being strapped in.
OK, does anyone else want an RRR involving time travel?
314- Well naturally. But we just got Dreamland, and I think we should wait a while.
314 – YES!!!!! I WOULD LURRRVE AN RRR WITH TIME TRAVEL!!!! TIME-TRAVEL RRR!!!!! TIME-TRAVEL RRR!!!!!
307 –
[acronym title=”words you want in the yellow box”] words you want to be in the special font [/acronym title]
but with angle brackets, obviously
Acronym title?
I try.
Does this work? What did I do?
This is me in one easy sentence:
My name is Alice, I’m almost fourteen, and I keep rabbits and sheep and write novels.
OOH!
I love to read, everything I own is green, I love to read, and, oh, my name is Julia.
301 – You have to be careful when you are in the realm of no moderation. You have no idea weather you got post 300 or not.
310 – I know thrice is three times. I don’t know about quice.
I can’t describe myself in a sentence. You have to be around me for several hours, most days a week, many months to know me. Some MBers qualify.
323- I don’t mean my personality. I mean this is like the kind of thing you do at camps and stuff, name, age, and interests.
There is peanut butter in your shoe.
324-I find it hard to sum everything up in that small sentence. I may like more than a couple of things!!!
Whoops, I have to do that on the other HTML thread, don’t I?
Can we have a new New Muse Slogan thread? Please?
And while we’re at it… If you won’t put the TT RRR up yet, would you do it as soon as possible?
305- that’s awesome! I really want to visit the catacombs. Welcome back! *pies with pumpkin pie*
Alice- I am a seventeen year old girl who enjoys reading, writing, whimsies, ideas, theatre, beading, and sitting on rooftops.
Who is Cody Linley?
330 You like sitting on rooftops? So do I, as a matter of fact!
312- THAT HE IS HAWTNESS YESSS
Alice- Funkalicious red-haired eleven-year-old with fantabulous musical talent and writing whimsies.
Time Travel RRR? I’m personally not interested but it sounds kewl.
328 – Why is the L bold? Were you trying to hint that Ple looks like Pie?
331 – I don’t know.
(329) PC, could you wait a little? Please? *tries to think of good bribing material* We just started the Dreamland RRR and there are several others going. Let’s give the new one a chance to settle down a bit, before pulling people off to another story. I promise we won’t forget.
As an aside, I can’t help but wonder if at least some of the proliferation of complaints about writer’s block owe something to the same handful of writers’ having spread themselves so thin. Speaking only for myself, I find that keeping several projects going at once stimulates creativity but having too many grinds it down.
332- No problem at all. I don’t mind. I’ve noticed that too.
This should really go on the HTML thread, but everyone else seems to be doing it. While I’m typing in this crazy font thing, I’ll say random stuff. Actually, I’ll do one of those things Alice and E~A were doing. I am a fifteen-year-old girl who enjoys reading, writing, playing piano, reading Muse, sailing, and playing tennis. Wow. It’s sad how little that describes me. Oh well…
(Rebecca (the number is bound to change) ) – Who has writer’s block? I do, on Terenika, but everywhere else is going strong. I agree that we need more writers (hinthint, writers), but recently not so many people have been complaining about WB. Oh, and everyone has writer’s block on 2007.5, but that’s just because . . . it’s just because . . . Am I making too many lame excuses?
334 – Well, I sort of got lost on the Dreamland RRR, so I’m going to hop straight into the TT RRR. I’m only working on one other RRR right now, and none of the others seem to fit my kind of writing. A TT RRR sounds perfect.
Though those reasons are good ones. I’ll wait a few days. *sits and waits*
334- To indicate that I wasn’t saying the word we’re not supposed to say. (HG2MB)
333- I thought you were fourteen. (Just kidding!)
Holy heck there’s a ton of new posts.
Prarilus Canix – is your first name Alec? I think I might have met you.
So, I think that Rebecca is right. I need to pare down my RRRs.
I am involved in:
Terraformed
The Sea Roc, formerly FoS, known to most as Capt. Pye and Co.
Dreamland
Etheterre
the fractured fairy tale
Terenika
The one about the afreet or afareet (though I haven’t written anything yet)
2007.5
The Empowered, if that counts
I can’t very well quit Terraformed, the Sea Roc, the Empowered, or the FFT, since I am essential in all of those. I ♥ Etheterre, and I would feel bad about leaving Terenika. I don’t really want to leave any of them! Oh dear.
i lost the game.
did it work?
343-holy moly, that’s a lot!You’re probably the site’s most dedicated user!
346- I’m crazy, is what I am. Dedicated sure, but crazy too.
344- Are you new? *pies pignamedllama just in case*
Me in one sentence? Easy. My name is Ebeth and i’m insane. Ta daaaa
OOH! OOH! OOH! Pick ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a thread idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look:
So, it’s kinda like an RPG only the musers RP as themselves. Sounds weird, right? Yeah… So anyways we all meet in a cool place thing and do things. Just like if we where there in real life. Plus, we can do whatever we want (is this a story or what?)
Example:
I walk into the room and see bob “Hey bob!” I say, and tap my foot as I wait for his response.
Um, we can decide on the name of the place we meet and stuff but he have to have our first “meeting” first.
Cool or what?
-Cappy
ARGH! I hate this time of day. See, the computer’s in the laundry room, and I sit sort of parellel to it, and the sun shines through these windows behind me and reflects off my head so I can see part of it reflected in my glasses. It’s sooooooooooo annoying.
Hm, one-sentence biograpies? My name is Haley and I am an utter fruitcake. (Don’t ask).
*pies pignamedllama in case of newness* [}[}[}!!!!!!!!!
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
My name is Lizzie, I am 15, I play the violin, and I am only misanthropic some of the time.
349- I think the meeting should take place in a really awesome bookstore. It would have books all over the walls, and one of those ladder-y things and a loft space for people to gather. (that’s where we’d meet)
332- yay! rooftops! I once had a swordfight on the roof with plastic swords. That was fun. Don’t worry, the roof is a flat one. I like wide, higher up rooftops better than one story rooftops, though. When you are on a high roof-top there is a lovely view. When the roof-top is small, the view isn’t so great, sadly.
336- I agree. I’m only writing on the dreamland one and the roleplay writing one. I don’t go to either all that often, too. I might stop by the fractured fairy tale one again, though. I enjoyed that one.
I want more of these one sentance thingies! GAPAs? I want to see yours! I want to see MBers’ too! These thingies are fun!
I’m off to see the moon and Venus in the sky!
They were very pretty last night. Sort of a Pac-Man effect, the crescent open to the shining point of light.
Around here it’s so cloudy you can hardly ever see the sky, unless it’s December and freezing cold. But occasionally a nice clear summer night comes along.
I finished the scarf I was knitting! Yay! It’s pretty, with variegated yarn in a feather-and-fan pattern.
353- Ooh, getting metaphorical now, are we? LOL. Very nice.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
e~a, I just posted the entire story on the Fractured Fairy Tale RRR, if you want to start writing there again.
I’m only on five really active RRRs, and two sort-of-active ones, and a mostly dead one, and I quit 2007.5. *realizes that this is not exactly pared down* But it’s better! Sort of . . .
352 – Lucky. Over here I can barely see any stars yet! !@#$%^ light pollution
My dad just got three bags of 10,000-year-old WOOLLY MAMMOTH TUSK from Russia. It’s so cool! And ancient! It’s older than anything I’ve ever seen before. I am in awe. Clearly, I’m not an archaeologist.
Hmm, what RRRs are I on?
Terraformed
The Sea Roc (for about 2 posts)
After spending maybe 15 minutes trying to catch up I think that I’ll give up. I’m happy! I got TWO days in a row! *is happy*
purplefinch is going to fail the regents. Don’t mind her, she’s just going insane rrrrreeeeeeeeally slowly. Oh. I suppose she should say more insane. Well, anyway. Weep for her, the poor deranged soul.
May I ask why my siggy is not in the design? Ah well, s’probably cuz i didn’t show up for a couple of months.
OMG LIKE, SCHOOL ENDED YESTIDDY! YAYNESS!
358 – Oooh, cool.
360 – Are you in Europe right now?
furgyburgy.
I rode my bike like a MILE AND A HALF to get to my friend’s house. And then when I was halfway back, I realized I had left my cell phone on the side table next to the WarioWare case. Ugh.
How are you then?
364 – That isn’t so bad. At least you didn’t have to bike ALL the way back. I hope you had fun at your friend’s house.
It is now exactly 12 hours until midnight.
bored…feeling random…and depressed…again…I went to the doctor yesterday and got two shots…fun,fun…I spent most of the morning cleaning my room…I wish that it were July 19 instead of June 19…I’d be at camp right now, and July 19 is my birthday…I’ve only heard from one of my friends since school ended…I’m a little sad about that…I’ll stop rambling on about stuff that nobody cares about…
*dies*
Well, as you all can see, purplefinch survived the New York State Examination of Earth Science in a Physical Setting (Or some such nonsense), but only so she could die in a happy place (AKA Museblog). Because it would be awful do die in the unhappiness of THE DREADED STATE TESTS!
225-Ha. It amused me in my dying moments…
*dies for the second time. Don’t mind me. I was rescued by the Abhorsen the first time.*
364- I know how you feel! But a mile and a half isn’t that far. I walk that far every day just to get to school, and then the same back.
370-You’re lucky you can walk to school. I used to ride my bike to school almost every day, but then my swim practice schedule changed so I don’t have time anymore.
371 – Are you new?
My name is The Skipper and I have difficulty finding the right words to describe things.
373 – Well, you seemed to have described yourself in your name, but we don’t know if it’s teh right word to describe you because we’ve never seen you skip .
GAPAs- This is the LAST time I will mention the TT RRR until the Dreamland RRR is fully established, I promise! But it was called to my attention that people will all bring their theories and beliefs about time travel into the story, which would get confusing. So, to eschew obfuscation, one theory will be paramount in the said RRR, to wit:
At each moment, there are several thousand possibilities. Right now, just to mention three: I will continue typing this comment and post it; a giant rock will fall on my head and kill me, preventing me from posting it; or a lunatic from the future will pop out of a wormhole or other time machine and smash my computer. The first possibility took place in this universe, but the other two took place in parallel universes. If you go back in time and alter the past, you will create another parallel universe.
Savvy?
OK, shutting up… (is pied in mouth w/ duct tape meringue*)
*Phrase copyright 2007 Prarilius Canix. Other use prohibited without permission.
Technically I’m not new, but I haven’t been here for a really, really, really long time.
My name is Sylvie, and, um, I like chickadees…could you tell?
274- I have a book recommendation for anyone who doesn’t know who The Skipper Nancy refers to in her name. Read Swallows and Amazons. It’s worth it. Read it even if you do know who she refers to.
BTW, Nancy Blackett is one of my two heroes. The other is Dido Twite.
(375) So noted.
PC – I’ve written a long introductory post that I will post on the Time Travel RRR when it is open.
And by the way, is your first name Alec?
375- To eschew obfuscation? Oh right, we had best eschew it.
About the different time-travel possibilities, I mean. Not actual story.
Oh, if this is a double post I’m sorry, but there are a few things I have to say.
1. I really like your name, Chickadee94. Your real name. Sylvie.
2. In response to PC’s post about time travel. Where are you sitting that a giant rock could fall on your head and kill you?
380-Why eschew obfuscation? I’m going to make a shirt that says “Obfuscation is tired of being eschewed. Obfuscate! *SPLAT*”
Oh and heeeeeeey what’s this i hear about kokonventions? (my, aren’t those little birdies chirping loudly today? :D)
What does eschew mean?
379- No. I have never even met someone called Alec.
I wish there was an MBer who I knew in real life…
385 – So you’re not Alec…… *racks brain for other Muse-reading people he has met* …….I don’t think I’ve met you. Oh well.
382-Thank you, most people think that my real name is Sylvia and Sylvie is my nickname, but I swear, it’s not. My real name is Sylvie.
384-Doesn’t eschew mean shun, or something?
382- Anywhere on Earth, if there’s a passing meteorite.
387 – Does the “94” mean you were born in 1994?
Eschew obfuscation means escape confusion.
389-Yes.
385- Don’t we all wish . . . Only today I was contemplating the likelihood of any of my acquaintances – one in particular – reading Muse and coming on the MuseBlog. It seems unlikely.
392-I know that none of my friends would ever come on MuseBlog, knowing them, they would probably think it was nerdy, I’m sorry to say. I don’t really care, though, they consider anywhere that one can have an intelligent discussion nerdy.
393- I consider it a compliment to be called nerdy. At least until people start insisting that “nerds fall in trash piles.” “Since when?” “Since forever.” Then it can be a bit of a problem. Luckily, that has only happened once, and I never actually fell in the trash pile.
394-Yeah, I know that some people say “Hey, sure, I’m a nerd and I’m proud of it” in hopes that nerd will stop being an insult like the word “queer” did. But I do think it’s insulting when people call other people nerds just for being smart. I can’t consider it a compliment unless it’s meant to be.
395- Well, no one really calls me a nerd, though my sister calls me many things that are meant to be insulting, but the best thing to do is just let it blow over, with her at least. I don’t really know anyone else.

These are just people I’ve seen recently, (as in the past month or two) so it’s bound to be slightly inaccurate, but there it is.
Amanda might have left, too. But I kept her on there in the off chance that she hadn’t.
One thing I noticed during that compilation was that TNÖ was nowhere to be seen.
[She started out as lilbro777. Her entry has been brought up to date and also added to your list. –Admin.]
396 – Where did you see AJR? I haven’t seen him?
397 – The last time she appeared was 3 months ago.
400th post?
399- Oops. I missed some people. I’ve never seen Calla Lily either. and probably not Cappy, but I assumed they might be Capricious.
Can we have a thread that we can post who we have seen on MB?
YYYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSS
VVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIICCCCCTTTTTTTTOOOOOOORRRRRRRYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry. Back to the topic.
398 – *checks* that is weird.
Yes. I enjoy being nerdy but I loathe it when people talk about it like it is a bad thing to be nerdy. It’s not! I live an awesome life! Sheesh, people, just because nerdiness doesn’t appeal to you doesn’t mean that it isn’t enjoyable!
383- nice shirt idea!
358- that’s awesome!!
404- High five! Nerds rule! At my school, I’m the king of nerds. This doesn’t mean that l’m the nerdiest, but the protecter of nerds.
368-My dad’s b-day too!
396-But PLEASE take off the code name hahahah!!!!!!!!!!!! HE isn’t here any more!!!! Plus it isn’t exactly alphabetical. The list, that is.
I like this where the GAPAs leave a thread up even past 400 posts!
That’s four hundred comments, btw!
404-Indeed. nerds pwn.
Go nerds!!!!!!!!
Ugh. I’m so depressed. I won’t go into detail, but I can only trace it to my darn script.
404- Nerdom is a happy, happy place.
396- I won’t be around, though, in the next two weeks. Off to France!
So bye all.
410 – I’m sorry. Writing a script that long can be daunting and dissapointing.
412- I quit. Which is precisely why I was depressed. Plus the fact that I had only eaten an English muffin and a cup of tea since the previous night. Yeah. I’m feeling much better now though!
LYK OMG ITS KIKIS FAREWELL POST
No, I’m not leaving. At least not permanently, that is. The truth is,
I’M GOING TO CAMP!!!
Yup. Four weeks up in Min-a-soda a.k.a. Minnesota. Bemidji, to be precise. Four weeks of cabin-staying, arts-and-crafting, doing-your-thing-in-the-woodsing, and dredging-up-cow-leeches-from-the-lake-bottoming. It’s my second year at this totally awesome camp and the trip won’t be TOO bad. Apart from the fact that I’m already up at FRICKING FIVE THIRTY and that I only got three hours of sleep. -lawl- But I love my camp, and, yep, it loves me too. I only wish some Musers went. Because THAT would be awesome. You know, we could convert and unsuspicious, normal sleepaway camp into a GINORMOUS MUSERY CAMP! But I’m getting off the subject, which is me leaving in half an hour. The ONLY problem is with my camp is that NOOO ELECTRONICS ALLOWED except for mp3 players that don’t play video like nanos or shuffles. So no internet access and no phones. Only- *gasp*- SNAIL MAIL. lawllomg. Well, MuseBlog, I guess I’ll see you in July!
Oh, and, btw, I wrote an article for the next ish of Muse.
