1-Same.
3-Where do you live? Are you in school?
For some odd reason, my left shoulder is in extreme pain. I am typing with one hand, but will try to correct any spelling errors. I do not remember bumping or straining it, so that is why it is odd…

in August 1st, 2007 @ 07:263) WOW! It’s Winter? That’s so COOL! Do you have snow?
4) Hmmmmmmmmmm. A mysterious sore arm. We shall have to investigate!
Well, I just got from my morning walk. It was different this morning because instead of taking our straight path, my sister and I walked randomly around our town. It was SO FUN!

in August 1st, 2007 @ 08:33HA! You guys have no idea what heat even is! It’s supposed to be around 95 degrees and humid today, and I have a 2-hour-long soccer training session with my new team. We had one Monday, too, and our coach told us that for the entire week, “Bring running shoes and water. That’s all you’ll need.” Yeah…death appears to be something we’ll all end up needing…Aug-xhaustion, indeed…
Sorry, had to get that out there.

in August 1st, 2007 @ 09:38I’m milking in my uncle’s barn 2 nights a week… you don’t know hot until you’ve done that! The outside temperature is about 90* and a cow produces alot of heat (consider that they can kep themselves warm outside in the middle of winter) So I was inside a poorly ventilated barn surrounded by a bunch of heaters yeah, that is hot

in August 1st, 2007 @ 11:58Hello, all! August is here already – I can’t believe it! Less than 2 weeks before the first DC Kokonvention! Flamablamabiguity! Well, I haven’t had a chance to go onto our RRR in a while, I had better do that before PraCan, Julieb, Alice, and those other Etheterrans ban me for inconsistency-or-whatever-the-word-is.

in August 1st, 2007 @ 12:3316 – I start about then, I think, but only for 7th grade.
Axa – We spent two weeks in Mexico, and when we weren’t in air conditioning or in the water (which was about half the time) it was about 110 degrees at least and so humid it felt like we were dangling over a pot of boiling water. Does that count?
Oh, and also – It’s fairly humid in Pittsburgh (where we live) in the summertime, and about 95° average.Do you live in California?No, wait, I’ll just check the Profiles thread and finally add my own.

'Dotty-kay
in August 1st, 2007 @ 12:45I start school August 28.
Work at the ice cream store was interesting yesterday. We were throwing the peach knives at the bulletin board. One kid was really good: he could get them to stick in half an inch from about 6 feet away. Actually it was a little scary because he’s, well, kid-Steve (as opposed to boss-Steve, named such so things don’t get more confusing). Where did he learn to do that? Then this girl who had been working waaay too long and was really wacked out goes, “Let me try!!” And we’re all like, “No. Way. You are not getting a knife.” But she took one anyway and threw it in the exact wrong direction, towards some boxes and the door. We were speculating would it would be like if the boss had walked in then.

urrrgh yes I live in California it’s nice most of the time but we’re all wimps weather wise and complain if it’s too hot or too cold. Or too anything. A girl at school moved here from Chicago and she was like “…..guys you know this isn’t cold right” but afjknda I don’t go outside during the summer for fear of melting.

in August 1st, 2007 @ 15:14Ugh. The problem with Chicago weather is that it’s so awfully inconsistent. We have the 100-degree August days, and then once it gets to be winter we go down to -20 and it is PAIIIN. D8
I start school far too early.

in August 1st, 2007 @ 15:24I haven’t read any of the previous posts, sorry, but I don’t have much time, and I’ve got BIG NEWS!!!!!!! Here goes:
Last weekend I was at Jamestown Settlement in VA to take sail training there [I volunteer there] and one of my dreams from the last 5 years came true: I WENT ALOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (climbed the rigging, incase you’re not familiar with the term) SO scary!!
The hardest part was going on the futtock shrouds- lines that that lead from the edge of the roundtop [similar to the crow’s nest on later vessels], you’re hanging about 80 feet over the water, unable to see your feet and needing to find something to hang step onto……. AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was terrified! So exciting, though.
Sorry if I was totally random, Ididn’t have time to read ad HAD to brag………

in August 1st, 2007 @ 15:56I went tubing yesterday with our boat… the tube isn’t really a tube, it has a better, more comfortable design. I still have pain though.
anyways, I took the ferry over to the mainland today with my mother’s boyfriend, Tony the rocket scientist, and we went to the Marine Biology Lab and went into labs and stuff that the general public can’t, cus Tony has friends there.

Eccentric the Afterthought
in August 1st, 2007 @ 16:028 – Ugh, same weather here. I can stand heat; it’s the humidity that gets to me. Kentucky doesn’t get very hot compared to other places (it’s going to be about 90 degrees every day this week), but it sure gets humid right about now!
I have to go back to school on the 14th!
Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with the blog this year since I’m going to a “cottage school” again, which only meets three days a week. That means more homework, though.

Ebeth The Titleless
in August 1st, 2007 @ 16:068-Ha! Two hours? i’m in band camp every day for the week, and we’re outside from 8:30-12 and again at random points between 1 and 4! And then we go outside in the afternoons to play paintball and watch the OSU marching band and other fun bonding stuff like that.
I only got two bruises, and no welts! I’m happy about that. One in the side, that broke, and one right below the knee that didn’t. And i got out once when somebody hit the hopper of my gun. Never got hit in the mask though. High tower got it right through the slits down by the mouth…and his mouth was open, so he got a mouthful of watery paint (except that it isn’t really paint, but whatever)
I haven’t done summer reading yet. whooooops. i need to go get those books. i’ve got three for summer, and then two more before winter semester.
danny got back from england today (actually yesterday, but at night, so nobody saw him) He got another FCUK shirt, but it just said french connection! there was no united kingdom. so i told him he killed the UK and everybody was like “WHAT?”
He was also wearing long sleeves. We thought he was insane. But then, he’s been in the rain for two weeks.
oh hey, pizza now w00t! i finally put anthony’s on my phone…i now have all the pizza places in snipville (and donato’s which is right outside, but we consider it part of snipville anyway)

in August 1st, 2007 @ 19:0337~ Yeah, that’s an estimation, I don’t know the exact height I was, but it was high. If you pay attention to where you are, and not how high you are it helps.
I’m homeschooled, and was supposed to do school work all summer. I haven’t gotten as much done as I should have, though. Ugh.

curious and questioning
in August 1st, 2007 @ 21:47must not flame people with bad spelling and capitalization… I don’t know why that bothers me more when I follow it less. Perhaps because I realise how easy it is and still manage to not annoy people like me and Glassboro when on MuseBlog. Penty and Axa get a reprieve because they’re oldbies.
Sunburn is not fun. Playing at the lake with a small, mostly deflated beach ball, with a friend, her brother, and whatever random people we know who are counselors at the lake summer camp is fun. Being buried in the sand so no sunscreen sticks to me is also fun. So I guess having my shoulders, face, and part of my scalp red and painful is worthwhile. This was in July, though. All I’ve done today was marching band.

in August 1st, 2007 @ 21:48I start school on the 24th, I think.
53- I love New Orleans. I went there once about 4 months before the hurricaines and passed through about a year afterward. It’s a beautiful place.
The best heat-related story I can think of (suffered through) was having to wait outside for six hours at a climbing competition. I was 75th out of 76 people and the gym didn’t have an indoor isolation room. I drank about seven liters of water just waiting. *shudder*
I wish schools had the longest break in winter instead of summer.

Unintended Pun
in August 1st, 2007 @ 22:15Woah. You people start school early! I don’t start until Sept. 4. I have a heat related story but it’s not about me. I was at summer camp a few years ago and we were riding horses. This girl there had a heat stroke, fell off the horse, and got her stomach stepped on by the horse, and she still wanted to get back up, but the horse people wouldn’t let her. Then later that week she got sick and she got the bravery award because she was always trying to go back out and do stuff instead of staying in the nurse’s place.
It’s supposed to be 90º here tomorrow. It doesn’t seem too bad to me now because a few weeks age I was in China and it’s really hot there. We didn’t know how hot, but it was a lot hotter than it is here. The hottest day was when we went to the great wall. The great wall does not have nice small stairs. It has 3 foot high ones that are really hard to climb. I feel bad for all the people who had to run up there in full armor. Ok that was long. Sorry, I just get on something and keep going.

kt wonders if she should change her name. these are her ideas.

in August 2nd, 2007 @ 17:09New Orleans is the city of heat-related stories. Here’s mine: We (me and some other people on the trip) spent the last two days gutting a house, and we had to wear these biohazard suits in at least 90 degrees and probably over 80% humidity. Luckily, they were white, but still, i thought i’d die in that thing. So i guess i’ve partly answered the question of what we did, but other than gutting, i painted this lady’s house and some other people in my group put up drywall and plastered the same lady’s ceiling. Other than being hot, the city was kind of mismatched. There’s be a totally rebuilt house with someone living in it, and the house right next to it would be untouched since Katrina. When not working, we’d blast the AC and listen to “When The Levi Breaks” in our vans. Gutting is an experience like no other. You don’t know bad smells until you gut a house that had 5 feet of water in it for days, and then went untouched for 2 years. And even though we never met the owners, we got to know them pretty well from their stuff. Maybe better than we wanted to… we found some marijuana, and piles of porn, and other stuff i won’t mention here. So yeah, it was great.

in August 2nd, 2007 @ 18:27Oh my feaking god!! I posted last time as #9 yesterday at like 12:00 noon and now it’s almost 7:00 (kinda) and there are almost 90 posts! *gasps in shock* I never would have thought there would be that many posts in such a short space of time. *tries not to fal over onto little bro*.
Anyway, It’s been really hot here in Colorado while I’m visiting my grandparents. Enough where all my energy just about disapeared when I woke up.
Oh I start school on the 4th of September. Hee. Usually school starts at the end of august dunno why its later this year. Yayy! exicted for school to start! Although my whole class (8th) isn’t there any more because I decided to stay back a year to do a post graduate thingy, and everyone else went on to highschool. I know I probably sound kinda silly for making that decision, but I really what to go to a great highschool after (NMH), and I don’t think I’m quite ready for something that big, considering my last school (1st – 6th) had only 32 students in the entire 1st throught 6th grades. Plus I want to refine some of my skills so I’m even better prepared.
Ha! Math is totally awsome! Love Algebra with all the x’s and stuff! pi r squared bugs me though. buahahah my school had to make a whole new curriculem for me and freind for math because we were the highest math students ever in the history of the entire school (1st – 8th) bua!
Oh, just curious: what are peoples oppinion on the word hell. Is or is it not a swear?
Cheers and hedgehogs

in August 2nd, 2007 @ 18:30Gah…this summer has gone way too fast. A large chunk of it has been eaten by moving (which, incidentally, has sucked).
I might go to Chicago for the weekend. If not, I’ll see Edward this weekend, and Blue Oyster Cult in concert.
I leave Monday morning for D.C. (Woohoo!)
I get back Saturday.
My camp starts Monday, ends Friday.
Leaving me with about two weeks in which to do the following things:— go climbing
— explore the abandoned mental hospital near my house
— have a Disney movie marathon
— have a regular movie marathon
— go to the aviation museum
— start a band
— go to an underground concert
— read about three books for my English class (WHEE!)
— and several thousand other thingsIt’s been fairly hot here…and we had a spurt of humidity in the past week, but honestly, it hasn’t rained steadily here since mid-spring. Everything’s dead. It’s just hot. And dry. Our new house has A/C, which is actually nice. I didn’t want it before, cos it seemed too bourgious (sp?).
Google “something french music.” Listen to the demos. They are amazing.

in August 2nd, 2007 @ 20:4587. Augwich: To me, it’s not a swear. I mean, if it was, i would be offended about a million times a day. But i figure, why offend someone if it’s not necessary? On the other hand, just about anything you could say is probably offensive to someone. Um…just do whatever you want. I won’t care.

in August 2nd, 2007 @ 21:49I am quite shocked on the bridge collapse in Minneapolis. I’m sort of surprised that no one has brought it up. Yes, I live in Minnesota, no I do not live in Minneapolis. I live somewhere in Minnesota that is not Minneapolis and it is very, very shocking to see a disaster happen this close to oneself. In one’s state. I am thinking of all the victims and the survivors and heros.

Learn to roll a kayak (technically in September, but before school starts, so it’s still summer)
Make some renaissance garb
Learn to spell renaissance without spellcheck

Here in NC we have a tax holiday this weekend for school supplies, computers, clothing, and sports equipment. It’s kind of a pain though if you need to do other sorts of shopping as the stores will be crowded.

in August 3rd, 2007 @ 16:10OH man. Summer was SO short!!!! I start 8th grade on August 21st, and if its anything like 7th grade I would LOVE to crawl in a whole until its all over with. I know alot of people who will be on my team, thats good, and bad. There are alot of “popular” people who think they are so cool and make the school year so not fun for everyone else that are in honors, so that means that I will HAVE to deal with them, becuase there is only one team with all the honors classes. UG!!!! P.E. is my worst nightmare, I am such a klutz outside of dance class, I dont even want to think about it. Hopefully there wont be any ‘popular’ kids in my p.e. class becuase that just makes it worse. AND I got the teacher who is like the dodgeball king, and I HATE dodgeball, unless I am playing with friends. I will just go to the front and get out before someone gives me a concussion. I also got the creepy health teacher who is creepy and gruff. But at least I dont have the evil spanish teacher who lowers youre grade if you dont raise your hand (which actually means if she doesnt call on you, which she doesnt unless you are a ‘popular’ person). I dont want to go back to school. Sorry for all that negativity.
We still havnt gotten new neighbors yet. They are keeping me in suspence.
Last night we went to see Joseph and the Amazing Techinicolor Dreamcoat at the Muny, and I saw my arch enemies best friend. It took all my patience and restraint not to run over to him and stomp on his feet or something. But, I didnt want to start an episode and get in trouble. Gotta go!!

in August 3rd, 2007 @ 19:52(115) kiwimuncher, I can’t help being a UNC fan since I have generations of ancestors and relatives who’ve been involved with the school since its founding. I didn’t go to Chapel Hill, but I went to graduate school at UNCG, which is how I ended up living here.
I’m also the proud owner of my brother’s UNC-CH letter jacket — he was on the fencing team.
Was that the right answer? *hopes*

And remember this- soon, those ‘popular’ people will be loundering in high school, where the old status que crashes down and they’re left scrambling for the first few weeks as everyone suddenly stops worshiping them and finds their own place. Very amusing.

Ebeth The Titleless
in August 3rd, 2007 @ 22:0187, 108-i love the phrase “holy hell” Mostly because it’s alliterative and fun to say, but also just because it’s so ridiculousat first, but if you think about it for two seconds you realize that hell actually is a religious idea, and a lot of people consider their religion (or religions in general) as holy.
that was only vaguely connected, but whatever.
So wow! band’s over! Our junior year band camp! god, i’m old. i still don’t really believe it. We’re doing a beatles show, but we don’t actually know the whole show yet, because we spent a LOT of time with the new director teaching us how to march right. So for the parent concert we just did pregame and a hard day’s night. The entire trumpet section missed a cue where we’re supposed to go forward diagonally sixteen counts and then diagonally backwards thirty-two counts. So we just kind of stood in straight lines. (just the trumpets are supposed to do this. We’re half of the front line of a box) Yeah, it was bad. but the best part is, since we ALL messed it up, nobody realized we messed up at all.
Johnson (our new director) has a house in snipville, and it’s behind andy’s, near bill’s grandpa’s. So andy has this big light-up palm tree in his backyard, and johnson was talking about it one day in band, saying how much he liked it. So for the prank on his house, they stole the palm tree to give to him. The next day, he was like “I appreciate you trying to steal andy’s palm tree and give it to me…but you got the wrong house” and everybody cracked up. Then the next day, he was like “Ok, that time you got the right house. If anybody’s missing a sign, it’s in my front yard” which was even funnier. I think that might be the best band prank ever. We have blue music notes that look somewhat like swans or flamingos that say our name and graduating year, and they’re stolen pretty regularly, but they’re usually just returned after a while. This was much better. his yard was entirely blue. They even used signs of people who just graduated, like billy and prater.
There was a good amount of TP and suchlike this year. harry got done twice-the seniors did it and then as soon as he cleaned it up the juniors hit. the latest plans i heard were saran-wrapping johnson’s car (he has a freaking sweet car. it’s a convertable of some type, i’m not sure what kind) and something to do with harry and cheese (not the person, the food)
why do so many freshman nicknames have to do with food? is that just a snipville band thing, or is that the same for other people? we had salty last year, LSD (which isn’t really a food…but it’s consumable (not legally, but still)), cheese, saltine, snap (intending that the next two would be crackle and pop). it’s pretty crazy.
so today being the last day, we had a pizza party before the concert and then we taught the freshmen cadences and dances, which was basically like an insane band dance party. But johnson said the tear it up dance was iffy…that’s our cleanest dance. the only bad thing is the ride it, ride it. But there’s no way we’ll be able to do jerk, jock, peacock or pretty fly or even let’s get it started. :'(
so i left the house today at 8, had penn station for lunch (which is freaking amazing, btw. we just got one here, next to chipotle which is a down the street and a couple blocks over. right on the same street as the school. then i had more band camp, pizza party, fall asleep to the orchestra (and watch hewitt make a sweet paper airplane, and marvel at the fact that the orchestra director even manages to have fat bits on her feet) and then concerty thing, where the trumpets screwed up so horribly but nobody noticed, then i went to danny’s, him being newly returned from england and having amazing european crack-candy (seriously, it’s sooo good) and watched an absolutely horrible zombie movie involving a lot of people throwing up congealed blood (not my favorite type of horror movie, i think. i still managed to eat crack-candy, popcorn, and a load of oreos though
) and played PD, which i suck at (i suck at most videogames) and poker (i came in second to hunter. hunter’s a hardcore poker player, he used to be in tournaments and stuff. So we were playing a game, and i was bluffing, and i figured hunter was bluffing, and i also knew he would never fold and admit to bluffing (he’s REALLY good at bluffing. putting in half your chips is quite convincing) and we were planning on watching the movie. So everybody else had folded, and we were going slowly up, and i was just like “screw it, if i lose, i lose” and shoved everything in. Well, hunter WAS bluffing, fortunately, and i won on a high ace. a HUGE pile. still smaller than hunter’s though. anyway, at that point we were just like “k screw it, movie time”) (it was texas hold ’em btw, which is less fun, but whatevs)so anyway. i got home at around 10ish.
so now to stop rambling and actually join the conversation, 121 is absolutely true, and i only wish i had stayed in middle school to watch the popular kids from our grade get shoved down (bwahaha)

When all there is to do is read and clean house and you’ve already cleaned house and you don’t have any books and it’s too hot outside to even move then MB does become my main source of entertainment. But I’m trying to spend less time on the computer and i think that today I will only come on once or twice.
I don’t actually think I’m going to be here for the rest of the summer. I’m going fishing with my dad and my uncle later this month, and I’m going to a kayaking party for two days before Labor Day, and then I start school on the 5th and probably won’t find a whole lot of time to get on that first week and the weekend after that I’m going to a Ren Faire. But I will, of course, try to get on some in that time.

We don’t play tricks on our band director. That I know of. It would be fun, though…125- Yes! I just need to go to Michael’s and find black feathers (goose wing feathers, not the little fluffy kind) and tear up a pair of black capres and a t-shrt I have. I’m being Zia, my friend’s Madia.

132- Likely I am too, though in september I will be cut down to _no_ free time. And I don’t mean like last year where free time was minimal, because apparently I am joining a second hockey team along with the other one, and hopefully will make the tennis team.

in August 4th, 2007 @ 12:27for christmas and suchlike, i’m usually just like “i want money, so i can get something big and expensive (or these days, small and expensive), yay” and then i get money, but not quite enough for small expensive things so i get to try to save money, which is an interesting and quite difficult task in snipville, especially when you have to pay for your own food when you go out. and i go out to eat all the time, since everything’s right down the street, and all our food’s from kroger since it’s closest. (i’m not a big fan of kroger. i am, however, a big fan of chipotle and penn station.
)actually, it’s quite sad how often i eat out. a burrito and a small drink is $7.31, and a sub and a reg lemonade (they don’t have smalls) is $6.49 i think. or 94. whatever. And i now get a $10 allowance since i pay for my own stuff all the time. i also go see movies fairly often, but usally at the cheap places far away that are between $2 and $4. easton’s like $7-something in the evening, and that’s with the student discount!
So i’m not very good at saving moneys. but i’ve still managed to hold on to around $100, with the pool job and transcripts. hopefully i can make up the other $100 for an ipod in october for my b-day (i always ask for money then too
)i’ve forgotten how i got into this. oh wells.
so now that band camp’s over, i’ve actually had time to listen to musics! i’m still only on the B’s (bon jovi) but moving through them fast (yesterday alone i was on the comp for ages and went through billy idol, billy joel, bob marley, and half of bon jovi. i only have about a cd’s worth of each, but still)
my mind just went blank. i was about to say something else, but now i guess i’m not. ha, what a great memory i’ve got, huh? yeah, you wish your memory was as cool as me. *cough*

in August 4th, 2007 @ 12:43103– Yeah, my friend kinda started a Disney heroine club when she fell in love with Phoebus from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Each one of us is a heroine (I’m Belle, she’s Esmeralda), so we need to get together to watch all of our movies.
Okay. I’m using the URL loophole: www. something french music .com. LISTEN! NOW! I’ll post the lyrics to the first song (“Grand Manan”) sometime soon, now that I’ve mostly figured them out.
A large portion of my friends are being eaten by band camp and drills and rehearsals and stuff, so, of course, I have limited time with them. It sucks. Those not being eaten by band stuff are either A) grounded B) being eaten by something else or C) just kind of gone…It’s been a tad frustrating. I’ve had a week or two when EVERYONE but ONE person was gone. I was moving that week, I guess. But still. It went very slowly.
aggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh.
And life goes even slower when you’re listening to the same music over and over again, and trying to find interesting things to say while waiting for a phone call.

Gosh…it’s been forty years of a lot of things:
— Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
— Magical Mystery Tour
— The Summer of Love
— Woodstock
— Blue Oyster Cult (and they were awesome last night)
— The Rolling Stone magazine
And probably a bunch of other amazingly revolutionary things I’m forgetting.

I am thinking about getting a nano… just because it has more space. I really prefer the shuffle because I’m odd and like to be able to go to any song I like without having to look at it. Very good because I can just keep it in my pocket and press buttons through the material.
I’d use my own money to get it, but I’d probably pull it out of the account I started when I was… 7 and wanted a laptop. Badly. I have enough for one now, but by the time I get to college and actually need one it’d be obsolete. Plus I’m going to see if I can make parentals get me one when I graduate.

My parents just kinda ask me to help out with random stuff. They buy me clothes, although not many at one time since they get so expensive, but when I get money and they know I have it and I want something, I have to use my own.

At our school, marching band has camp the whole month of August. I think the first week it’s like 8 to noon or 1 maybe, then every other week 4:30 to 9:30. I’m not in band but a lot of my friends are. Then they have parades every weekend… it’s insane.

Jean Sibelius was a composer. The reason I know he lived in Helsinki is because there was an article in the New Yorker about him. Some of his best known works are the seven symphonies and his violin concerto.All this tax-free stuff… I don’t think I’ve ever had that. Or I don’t remember, or I’m so out of it that it comes and goes without me realizing.

Sorry about that, just had to get it out. *shiver* It is so creepy. A girl just got attacked by a tiger shark. She has a 12 inch bite, she is losing blood, and they are really far from a city. Their life boat drifted off and someone has to go in the water to get it when there is still a vicious shark in the water. *shiver* OMG here he goes, he is on a surfboard, very carefully, ug. OMG, OMG, OMG, this is freaky…..HE MADE IT!!!! *sigh of relief* This is a true story, they are recreating it, you know how they do it on discovery channel. I feel really bad for that girl…..wow. Oh man, now she might get an infection becuase the nearest hospital isnt very big. Few, she is alright!!! She is just scarred for life forever, ooh. Ug. 6 hour operation? *shivers constantly*

It’s just food, and I don’t even like peanut putter and jelly together! Jelly is gross ,to me, and peanut butter is OK with chocolate, but that’s all. Maybe you can make a story where you ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich before you went to a big performance you were involved in and you got so nervous that you barfed all of you PB and J everywhere. That seems kind of realistic.

I met interesting people, though. This is the first time I’ve ever met anyone with any TMBG music on their iPod. New best friend! And I was the only girl there, but it was okay. There were only six people.

curious and questioning
in August 6th, 2007 @ 20:08212- Yes. Only it was going to be a Dirk Gently book. He’d realized that it might work better as a Hitchhiker’s book, but died before that happened. There was a collection published, posthumously, titled The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time that contains lots of short stories he wrote and the first few paragraphs of the unfinished Salmon of Doubt. It is slightly annoying to not get to read the rest of the book, though.

in August 6th, 2007 @ 20:16Yes, it is. I read it at the library, then this summer I had a copy I had just bought but somehow it disappeared. The fact that it disappeared halfway around the fricken plenet is not making me feel any better, especially as I bought it specifically to use durring my book report. GRRRR.

in August 6th, 2007 @ 20:23I imagine it was going to be about a Salmon of Doubt, whatever that is.
Oddly enough, that conjures up an image of a bowl of salmon dip. Just salmon dip.
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I love salmon dip. It’s very good with bread. I also like smoked salmon, although that it is not so good with bread. And baked salmon, but that gets boring after a while and moreover it often tastes funny. And canned salmon, but you have to eat it with something hot because it is Cold. Brr. But my very favorite is salmon that’s cooked in our fire-pit with garlic and other tasty stuff. But here’s something you should never do: Try to make blackberry cobbler over an open fire. With biscuit mix instead of a good homemade crust.
Waste of a good can of blackberries, that.
Oh yes, seafood. Oysters=delicious. Especially on crackers with lime. Not raw so much, though. Clams=ditto. But not fried, they’re too strong. They’re simply wonderful in chowder, however, and you get the bonus of a nice day at the seaside digging them up. Except it isn’t a nice day at all, because of the sand and the wet and the fact that clam season is in winter and more often than not it’s freezing. But it seems like nice day.Somehow I think this is irrelevant. Was I supposed to be talking about Douglas Adams? Those books were weird. Too weird. I couldn’t finish them. But maybe I should try again?
Presently?

in August 6th, 2007 @ 21:22216,
217218 – They were too bizarre. I must have missed the gross bits, or maybe I quit before I got to one, or maybe I forgot all about it. All I remember was that they were at the restaurant at the end of the universe, and the landscape was weird and there might have been a weird musician. And Zaphod Breeblebrox (or whatever his name is) sitting in a spaceship/airplane while a voice talked over the intercom. And a very large building. And a lot of references to previous the book(s) that I didn’t understand because I had never read the previous book(s).My science fiction education has been sorely neglected. I couldn’t remember more than a scene or two that I glimpsed while half-asleep from Star Wars, until I watched it a week or so ago. It was very good, now I have to get the next two.
…And yet I managed to write perfectly good scifi. Maybe because I focused on the fi and not the sci.
Now I think of it, I can only name a few science fiction titles that I’ve read. One of them being Time Ghost which is highly obscure. I think. The others being the Young Wizards series. And HDM, which hardly counts.
Am I missing something here?
I’ve watched a lot scifi, though. Serenity, Farscape, and Red Dwarf are the only ones I can name right off but I know I’ve seen others. (Not including Star Wars, because I already mentioned that.)

in August 6th, 2007 @ 23:08Oh, I hate it when moderation messes up the numbering. For example, before ‘Dotty-kay’s post was moderated (217), my post, 219, replied to Glassboro’s and Canix’s post (now 216 and 218). But I doubt anyone else noticed before this post, so it doesn’t really matter.
[‘Tis amended. –ReB]
221- It was my mother who tried to turn me onto to those books anyway. I don’t think the library had the first one, so she picked one at random. Or something like that.
As it was, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe spent quite a while in places I won’t mention for fear I should be banned while I recovered from the weirdness and until I had quite forgotten about it. In fact, a lot of books ended up in that-place-that-I-can’t-mention, including The Two Towers, which may account for it’s somewhat bedraggled state currently. *sigh* Now they just end up under my pillow or in my coat pocket or in some other such unlikely place.Speaking of which, I found my book out in the pasture today, sitting on a log.
Brilliant of me, to be sure. I’m lucky it didn’t rain.And while we’re on the subject of unfinished sequels, Arthur Ransome was in the middle of a book when he died. Bother. It was called… *wikipedias it and gets sidetracked by the nice timeline*
Oh, what? Oh yes… It was (and is) called Coots in the North. I need to get my hands on it…

in August 7th, 2007 @ 06:12A long time ago, I read the first book of The Hitchhikers Guide, and I didn’t like it at all. But after coming to MB, (a year or two later) I decided to read it again, and I found it, and the rest in the series, quite hilarious. But I’m not denying that they’re completely confusing, and I hated the ending of the last book. And some parts are gross.
I still have to read the detective stories, though…

My dad used to watch Star Trek, and I must admit they sound interesting. But it is rare that I’m in a place with cable or satellite or whatever so I don’t get to see them. I’ve seen a few of the downright ancient ones, but I can no longer tell them apart from the numerous Farscape episodes.

in August 7th, 2007 @ 13:13229 & related- I wouldn’t say gross, exactly. They just have more on that topic than other things that you’ve read at this time. Of course, that’s my own opinion. I also think that they’re some of the best books ever, although I’ve lost the end of the last one. Don’t but The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, because it’s badly bound.

I’ve watched a bit of Star Treck and Star Wars, and I have to admit that I like Store Wars better than either of them, though they are all good… XD

in August 7th, 2007 @ 18:48Ah, wonderful to see some of the people I used to know are still here.
I am completely fried on summer reading, and school starts in two weeks. On the positive side, however, I’m going to Carowinds with my friend Kathryn on Thursday!
Star Wars posts: “The Death Melon!” Five hot pink bunny points to Ravenclaw if you can name where that quote came from.
Seafood- Mahi mahi. The fish so scrumpdiddlyumptious they named it twice! Try tilapia, too.
Considering I’ve been gone for nearly a year (and I am completely open to “BLOG DESSERTER!” hate-pies, I deserve it), I never told anyone about the fantastically brilliant musical that my school put on that was a massive success. I wanted to audition, but I had to be a band geek again *mutters darkly*, and I just painted sets. But this year, I’m in! And we are most likely doing The Wiz. Can anyone tell me about it? I couldn’y find much on the Webernet.

in August 8th, 2007 @ 09:51249- Yes, it’s a good movie. Very talented actors and actresses. John Travolta doesn’t do drag in that movie, and he’s emulated the sixties housewife almost perfectly. Queen Latifah is awesome, too. I’m going to see the Broadway touring production when it comes near my town this spring. It’s supposedly much different from the movie. I also may be going to see Wicked (EEEE!!!!!) when it comes to Charlotte. I’m obsessed with that musical. I’ve read the book it was based on- and the sequel- and memorized almost every song. Bloody good books, by the way, read them if you get the chance.
I have a random question for GAPAs and MBers alike!
If a rip in the space-time continuum were to open up, swallow you, and then spit you back out in 1943 in the middle of a big band dance hall, what would you do?
I have actually worked out several scenarios for this, but the answers I get are always interesting.

It was gross, especially when it got on my hand and burned three fingers.
But it was better, cuz we had the pool go to. 254-I would probably freak and start asking hotte girls to dance. I would probably be mega cool or mega unpopular because the clothing style would be completely different. Then I might do something completly fun like throwing eggs or cartwheeling around or screaming fire and run VERY FAST away.

I am varying my name, if you hadn’t noticed. I’ve been wanting a good variation that I could use for a while for a long time now (not something like, “Alice who is bored right now”). This is not only a good variation, but an apt one. I will always be an exception to the rule, whether here where I am one of the few people who realize the merits of miniskirts (not reeeeeeeeeally short ones, though), or in “real” life where I am the only pie-throwing novelist in the class.

It was really nice that everyone I sparred hit the same spots again and again. It was also nice that the spot on my leg was the same spot where I got hit by the corner of a heavy bookshelf a few days ago. Ouch! No pain no gain! *sings intro to “Eye of the tiger”* Yay sparring!
I think Wicked is in Cleveland. Or they already left. I’m so mad I can’t go though because my mom doesn’t want to take me all the way to Cleveland. Bleh. My friend Jake saw it last year in Pittsburgh. I should scan his brain and watch it. Wow, long post!

in August 9th, 2007 @ 09:23My main problem is that I feel bad after reading a long post because I write short ones. Maybe I make up for that by not keyboard mashing or anything…

in August 9th, 2007 @ 09:33speaking of long posts…(copied off my LJ cuz i’m lazy)
the fair!
So i didn’t end up going to see weird al…it was just too much money for him, honestly. i like him, but not that much. maybe if he had come a few years ago i would’ve. but i didn’t feel like spending $20i spent plenty of money at the fair as it was! eep. i always spend way more than i plan on. anyway, from the beginning, i had band camp at 9. we got out early (11:30ish) so i saved a bit by eating lunch at home. i got a ride with bill, monica, leeny and bill’s mom (bill’s mom didn’t actually stay though). leeny and i got wristbands right away (it’s $20, but it pays for all rides, and with the number of rides i went on, it was a good deal :D) bill and i got the refillable lemonades (i got about seven or eight refillls…it was SO hot). they’re a bit expensive, but you also get to keep the bottle, which is rather nice, and certainly large. so i have another good waterbottle now. we walked around and looked at the animals. the rabbits were all so scared, it was sad. and we went through all the stands and looked at stuff. we didn’t actually buy anything though. then danny called to say he, hewitt, and dan had arrived, so we met up with them and went on a bunch of rides. then jacob, courtney, and hunter came. hunter found a girl named trillian (amazing name :D) and hung out with her the whole time. she seemed cool. bad taste in music, but hunter’s is horrible. Once jacob got there, dan (who i had been mostly hanging out with, along with bill and leeny) started being an ass, like usual, and courtney, we love her but she does tend to squeak and squeal. so hewitt and danny and i went over to the campgrounds and did the archery and fishing and hung out there a bit. oh and hewitt got us some buckeyes which are surprisingly fun just to throw around. i still have mine
it rivals a raquetball (not quite as bouncy, but that’s probably a good thing in a crowded fair. we also had some samples of fish, which were really good. i had so many free samples…they were selling dipping sauce stuff, and there was one called garlicky garlic that was amazing…i had like five pretzel sticks worth of that. and then people were selling chips and putting out little boxes of samples…i took like four pretzel boxes and a chip box. but anyway, getting back to our vague chronological order.around dinnertime we went to the meat place…i think it was called taste of ohio or some such, it was a big air-conditioned building right by the giant slide that sold ice cream and meat. bill and monica started midly freaking out because i had their weird al tickets (i had pockets that snapped), so they called and we told them where we were about five times to about five different people, all of whom got the wrong building (the same wrong building). around then hewitt left to meet his dad, who had come for the concert. Finally, we said “we’ll just come to you” and so we did and immediately dan starts bitching at US for being stupid, even though they were the ones that screwed up. so i give bill and monica their tickets, and we go off with those who aren’t going to the concert (me, leeny, danny, jacob, dan, and courtney) and go on more rides. at 8:30, danny’s parents come and leeny and i leave with him…we’d been there (leeny and i) since 12, so we were like “eeh…”
it was really fun, as usual
i went on the drop for the first time. it wasn’t that bad…by the time i realized we were falling we were halfway down. it was freaky, but not as freaky as i thought it would be. and it was a great view (which was how danny had gotten me up there in the first place) so another good time at the fair

in August 9th, 2007 @ 10:31283- Good times. I missed both of the fairs we have here, both Snipvillefest and Snip County Fair. We used to make stuff for the fair (drawings, odd things and such) and win ribbions (and money! 3 dollers for a blue, two for a red, 1 for a yellow, none for the rest even though it goes to about 9 places. It costs money to enter though). Last year or the year before I got one of those big ribons for a plate I painted at a ceramic place. I didn’t thinnk it was that great, but whatever.
This year we just sort of missed it… Snipville fest had been while we were on vacation though. I was looking forward o it, too… oh well.

in August 9th, 2007 @ 12:02Our fair is on the 16th. And lasts to the 18th. Fun. But it would be funner if I had some friends to go with. =\
But today and tomorrow and all the way to Monday, there is a climate convergence thingamabobber that I will go to. It will be most interesting, to see people subverting the dominant paradigm in town where three quarters of the population doesn’t know what subvert or paradigm means. I wonder what they’ll do. Last year I won Best of Show for a pillow that I made. It’s still a lovely pillow, but the embroidery is started to come apart. This year I will be submitting my pretty lacy scarf, a purple dress I made years ago, and possibly some blackberry syrup if we ever get around to making it. And I might finish another little pillow and submit that too. I need to finish it no matter what…

in August 9th, 2007 @ 13:06Wow. I’m sad.
My penpal from Canada just ditched me after 5 years of being friends. She told me that she had changed and that I didn’t understand her anymore. Then she cussed me out and told me that our friendship might as well be over. I miss the old version of my friend. Now she’s a jerk.

in August 9th, 2007 @ 14:19288- Woa, harsh. I have a penpal from England, but I havnt heard from her in like two years, and she is like four years older than me, so she probably isnt interested anymore or something. I also have a penpal from California that I emial, but I havnt heard from her since like… New Years, but I am confident that she will write me back, she takes long brakes like that, and plus, now its summer. Well kinda, almost over. *sigh*

I never manage to keep penpals. One of us always stops writing eventually. The penpal I kept the longest was my great-grandmother, and now she’s dead.

in August 9th, 2007 @ 15:15I had an Irish penpal when I was eight or so. After a while she stopped writing, though… God, I can’t even remember her name now!
I’ve had various penpals who I wrote about two letters to, before one or the other of us quit, and myself and a friend of mine corresponded for a long time, by email and letter, since we live far away from each other. It’s been a while since we talked, though.And then I have the address of a girl with which I am going to play the letter game, and she’s much older than me, and I haven’t sent the letter yet. I’ll get around to copying out the draft sometime.

in August 9th, 2007 @ 15:43276-I hate sparring. Maybe that’s because I’m ALWAYS paired with people twice my height. But I love forms and weapons! I do Karate, not TaeKwanDo.
288-*gasp* For some reason, that reminds me of Cho Chang from Harry Potter… maybe it’s because I was reading it ’till six last night….
290-My longest pen pal was about two years, and we were corresponding from VA to CA. I’m going to see her (and missing a KoKonvention) on the 15th.
I went and found an online radio that lets me put the songs on my WMP library.

in August 9th, 2007 @ 16:53I had an italian penpal. She was my aunts boyfriends neice. Except for a lot of time spent poring over an italian-english dictionary it was pretty fun. Then my aunt and her uncle got engaged. Then my aunt dumped him. That was the end of my penpal.
288- I’m sorry. It was nothing you did, just her being rude.

I’m typing this on a Nintendo DS. DS Browser, the program’s called. It comes on a regular game chip, you put it in, it finds a WiFi network, and you’re set!

in August 9th, 2007 @ 19:48i have a french exchange penpal, i like it cuz i practice my french and she’s really cool. i also had a friend who moved that i used to write to a lot but that just sort of died, mostly because i kept forgetting to actually mail the letters.
wow, it’s been a while since i last posted and i feel so out of it. one reason it has been a while- this weekend we went to a renaissance faire. it was amazing and i officially love them.
is anyone else excited that ECLIPSE just came out?! i know i am. speaking of which… alice, i think you live in washington (if not, i am really sorry. i thought i saw it on the newbie post like 2 months ago but it could have been someone else) if so, do you live in Forks? do you know if it actually exists? (GAPAs and everyone else, this is not some creepy stalker question. anyone who has read twilight, new moon, or eclipse knows what i’m asking)
hope everyone’s having a good summer (or winter if they are south of the equator ::): )

I know there is one, because it said so in the index, but, irritatingly enough, I can’t find it. It’s somewhere in the Puget Sound area, anyways.
