Why is there no picture? Should I make one?
Wow, there is no one here. Hi Alice!!!! I think I am going to see Stardust tomorrow, is anyone else? I might go swimming too. I just doodled this adorable little pig!!!
Oh, I see. There it is. *feels silly*
My computer is being slow. Oh-so-slow. In fact, I had something to say, but I forgot it while waiting for this thread to load. What was it?
Grrr. I can’t remember. Darn.
Oh yes! I found in a comment on Ebeth’s NaNo this Random Name Gnerator called Kleimo. My personal favorite name is Long Clinker.
1- There’s a picture now! *yayness*
*hem*
Anyway, we leave to California saturday and then go to Montreal for my grandfather’s memorial service. *sigh*
Almost first post.
:idea:TNÖ:Idea:
*:idea:
Can we please have a new “You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when…” thread? I have a huge long list that is growing longer by the minute.
I see no picture.
6- Hmm, I don’t remember everything that I could say. Too much stuff.
Hey, GAPAs, the random thread’s in the wrong place. You should move it back up, shouldn’t you?
I like the new picture! Haha! Oasis Mirage!
(8) Done! What happened was that our Web host’s server went on the blink while I was in the middle of posting the new thread, so I got it halfway up but couldn’t finish. Then I had to go to bed to rest up for the big Kokonvention today. Anyway, it’s all better now.
6- you know your addidicted to museblog when you start palning the rrr in your sleep
Oh, the convention’s today. Pfft, and I actually am off of work. Sigh. Have many a good time!
6-good idea!! in 8/9days i get to meet my favrite artist/authors. does a happy dance which is actually the weasel dance.
bleehhhh
Our family and the Osterreichers are going to the pool today. Mom gave me a choice of which pools to go to. I said, “Centennial”, and she was like, “no!! that’s gonna cost us $36 cuz it’s in wilmette and we’re not residents!” And I was really sad but we’re going to Oakton. >_
Oh yeah, the Kokonvention is today!
You know your addicted to muse/museblog when you remember the issue the random thread pic came in.
299 on last thread (killerchipmunk) -Forks is an actually place, the author was looking for somewhere to have this town and picked a spot in washington near the Hoh Rainforest, and right where she was looking was a little town called Forks.
We tried to convince our book club directer that we should take a feild trip thiere, but she didn’t think so.
Haha.
Kokonvention today? is that why my coments have been awaiting moderation for 3 hours?
That is a PWNING picture!!!!
Hi, peoples!
20- Hi! Having a nice time?
20- Hello! How goes the convention?
16- Wait. That’s not normal?
Hi MBers! I’m back. Got a lot of catching up to do on this thing…
20- What’s it like, guys??
17 – I thought Eclipse was enjoyable in the way all the series is: you don’t have to think about it, pay attention, challenge yourself. You basically just float along looking at the pretty pictures. Beach reading, in essense. With that said, though, I find Bella really annoying. One, she’s so dumb. I mean, how long did it take her to figure out what was up with Jacob in New Moon? I had that figured out by the second chapter, basically. Two, she’s really self-centered. Three, her relationship with Edward is so shallow:
Bella: OMG YOU”RE SO HOTTTT!!!!111!!1!
Edward: OMG YOU SMELL SO YUMMY omG!1!!!!111!
And also the book just seems kind of.. manufactured, if you know what I mean.
20- uh hello…. kagy wants to know how goes the convention!
Oh I can’t wait for pictures! Here’s a list of attendees:
Julieb (Birthday tomorrow?)
curious and questioning
Shadowkat
Lady Visala of Reverie
Midnight Fiddler
Capricious and her brother
Red-tailed HAWK
Purple Panda & Taiwan Hippo Fan
Glassboro
28-me neither!!!! how soon will they be on museblog? do you know? of course all my ideas of how everyone will be will be shatteres, but no matter.
how goes the Kokonventioning?
my playlist has 1111 songs now, which i find absolutely spiffy. won’t stop me from getting more music, but hey i’ll enjoy it while i can (aka brag about it
it’s like eleventy-one PLUS)
oh and i’m up to dire straits…i did david bowie and def leppard twice, because as soon as i finished with them i got a whole bunch more (especially def leppard) so i went through and listened to them again.
urrrgh, i really don’t want to think about skool. people keep reminding me of it. oh well, this year shouldn’t be too horrible. honors chem will probably be hell (but a rather amusing hell, according to hewitt and danny) but i’ll be on torch and i got hemmelgarn for AP lang+comp (i’m pretty sure). and apparently AP gov is an easy A (nice change from last year…AP US was an easy F unless you worked your butt off. we all did pretty well on the test though, so i guess it worked out)
anyway
i’m not thinking about it any more. grr.
i should do something tomorrow….mebbe go see a movie or something…
Today’s the Kokovention. I should be going… but instead I’m going to a french resteraunt with my aunt who normally lives in Kansas. *sigh*
16-He he he. He.
20-Well hullo there! Nice to see you. How’s the weather?
re: Kokonvention Picz-I can’t wait to see how
prettyintellegent everyone looks sporting little dry pies!!!! I’m sure they’ll be pwnsome.2222 songs on iTunes.
..even though I just deleted two. But they were repeats anyway, so it counts
6- Perfect for you, who is the most obsessive MBer right now. I’d say, anyway.
.:THIS IS NOT AN INSULT:.
32- cooooooooool.
IM NOT AT THE KOKONVENTION ARRRRRGH
I wish I was. urgh.
I sooo wish I could have gone to the kokovention. But that would mean flying there, then back here, then to CA all in two days. *sigh*
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
I wish I could have gone too!!!
Sorry for the second post, but I forgot why I came to the random thread. I am having to more sleepovers, Tuesday and Wednesday, and school starts on the 21st!!! I am going to be really tired.
I’m not there either. What is done at a kokovention?
38-I posted a list of events on the kokonvention thread…
33- Gosh, you think? You’re not the first person to have commented on that. That’s because my life is really passive and I have too much spare time. Pretty soon, I won’t have enough spare time.
I want to be there too.
I just saw Hairspray, it was really funny, and I loved the music and dancing!!!! I am going to try to convince my mom to coreograph one of our dances for the recital to a song from Hairspray so we can dress up all old fashioned like and put our hair up like they do in the movie, and maybe get some guy dancers for partners…..it would be so much fun!!!! We need a link…..that would be awesome!!!
I don’t know how I know I’m addicted to Museblog, though I’ll surely think of it as soon as I press submit. I want to be at Kokonvention, but I’m in Ohio and it’s the middle of the night. Darn. I liked Twilight, though it may have been due to the fact that I was sleep deprived on a 13 hour plane ride and I’d been with Victoria and Molly telling me how great it was for the past 16 days. Now I am faced with this: Did I really like Twilight, or was I brainwashed? Or was I just jealous of Bella and wanted my boyfriend to be like Edward? Yeah I think it’s the last one. Haha.
Goodbye random thread!
Please, GAPAs? Maybe tomorrow, when you have recovered from the kokonvention? I don’t want to be a pest
but I’m going to be one anyway. Honest.I’m back in my hotel room. The kokonvention was great, and lasted longer for some than others. That is, most people went away before PP&THF, Visala and I. You can go the the Kokonventions, Kokontinued thread for more details, Midnight Fiddler posted them. I have no idea when the pictures will be up. Sorry, ask a GAPA.
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you compose posts in your sleep and spend more time checking threads than you do email. (guilty)
We’re leaving for California now. Goodbye.
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
The hippos are happy because they have fresh cabbages.
Whoa! Why did I just say that?
45- guilty
you know your adicted to museblog when you leave museblog only to go write about it in your diary.
GAPAs’ when will the pictures be up?
45-Also guilty. That reminds me- I haven’t checked my email in, like, 12 years.
But, since about 3/4 of the stuff I get is spam, I suppose it doesn’t really matter.
Also, in case no one has noticed yet, it is my birthday.
Fact #307 that You Don’t Need To Know:
I am going whitewater rafting.
(spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam
BUT I DON”T LIKE SPAM!!!!)
Testing this.
Blah.51-Cool. I will now
go annoy people to no endpost on another thread.49-you know you’re addicted to museblog when the blog IS your diary
45- Guilty. Except that my e-mail auto-checks itself.
45-Guilty!!!
26- Yeah, it’s like a chick flick on paper. I don’t really like chick flics, but this book cought me at a moment when I wanted to read something like that.
42- Last one, yes. Vampires=hott.
53- Ahhh, so guilty. I tell you guys things I don’t know myself.
Here’s one that I do know all to well however:
Ahhh my poor dear leggies hurrrrt. I had hockey last night from 8:40 to 10 and again this morning from 9 to 10:30, so I spent about 9 hors at home, 8 1/2 of those sleeping. Ahh tired.
…Even though, if my dad had let me, I probably would have stayed on later at todays, with the U14s practice. Coach said me, Bre, and L could if we wanted, but dad said no. Even though tryouts are sooon… eep.
I got a half point for hitting her in the head, and Bre didn’t it her at all (L’s pretty good about getting out of the way, haha). Later she cjecked her into the boards though, and L fell and was complaining so we said it was 2 points. Good times… I wasn’t as sore then.
Heh, we stayed on for an extra hour once, when none of the U14s showed up. Bad them… me and Bre took turns shooting the puck towards the net and L would try to tip it in, but me and Bre were counting points each time we hit Lauren. 1 pint body, 2 points head.
Wow. sorry! I don’t know what happened back there! My vision seemed to go all pink and now bunnies are all over the thread. *looks guilty* Did I do that?
Well, I am going to my grandparents house tomorrow, so I won’t be here for a few days, unless I get a chance to go online again tonight……………………
45-*blushes* Mee too.
50-Happy Hippo Hoppy Birthday! Whoa, I am losing it.
Okay, so my aunt left and I forgot to give her CD. Boohoo.
Aanndd, I just came back from a three hour Demo Team practice. And DANG I hurt like heck. And I probably stink too. I keep forgetting the end of my last combination, and I almost flinch like I’m going to move when the form music starts… and I forgot the purple belt form so I’m going to have to do some uber practicing today. Although I’m not going to.
{end rant}
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when you make a draft on paper of what you’re going to say on the random threads. I plead not guilty.
You know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when the only things you have open on your taskbar are Inbox, iTunes, MuseBlog, and the MuseBlog fanfiction. I plead guilty to that one, though.
50- Is it fun? How wet do you get?
Yay back to school shopping. I’m plastering my notebooks with all manner of annoying, distracting paraphernalia. Whee. From hpbs to duct tape to “I am NOT a nugget” to trig tables to… I’m forgetting something here… Gasp! Random Trek characters! *goes to print pictures*
I cannot wait for Engineering! Pretty much the only class I plan on caring about this coming year. Huzzah! *counts down the days to the 29th*
59-I just finished school shopping last week. I bought [almost] everything in black just to scare my parents. BweeehehehaHaHAHA okay I’m done no kidding bye.
I also plastered everything with HPB’s, gaffers tape, duct tape, little lables that say “This is the property of YOUR MOM”, green alien faces, multiplication tables, instructions on how to blow up something, facts that you did not need to know, Rihanna, Black Eyed Peas, and, oh yeah… my name on the spine and the subject. But that’s boring. Who really cares what my name is when you can have lots of random pictures???
I’m on a roll ranting today. Yay ranting! I shall stop. (Personal conversation keeps going even after Submit is clicked) no SERIOUSLY ranting is sooooo just the pwnso…
59 – heh, I haven’t started back-to-school shopping yet. I’m actually not sure if I even know what classes I’m taking… not good, mayhaps?
60- Whee, indeed for school shopping, but I can never get everything in the same colour. Because then I’d bring the wrong stuff to class. Actually, I still do that on occasion. Gar. Also, I think my first [homeroom] class is in the freshman building, because it’s German I. Unless the freshmen come to the main building. Gosh I hope so! My schedule is as follows:
First Semester:
1. German I
2/3. Honours Prob & Stats
4. Lunch
5/6. Honours Engineering I ♥♥♥
7. AP English
Second Semester:
1. Honours Economics
2/3. Honours German II
4. Lunch
5/6. Honours Engineering II ♥♥♥
7. AP English
Yay, lazy senior year classes. But not yay for Econ. It’s required. Grr. That’s the reason why I’m taking German instead of higher level Spanish. Because the Spanish won’t fit with that course.
59-I have one of those little chicken “I am not a nugget” stickers!!!!! I love it!!!!
I am almost done buying supplies, I am trying to convince my mother that I need a new Binder for all my notebooks so I dont have to go to my locker all the time, and she sees one and says “that one looks ok” and its like this ugly puke green color, and its way to small, so I say, “its not big enough” and she just keeps going on and on, she obviously has no idea how school works now.
For those who asked how the Kokonvention was, IT WAS SO AMAZING AND FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we learned that Kokopelli is a super bug zapper!!!!
hast anyone else seen Stardust?
It is magical…
64-That’s very informational!
Erglack. Back from Carowinds. Exhausted. Speaking in choppy sentences. But happy.
Random responses to posts-
“I’m not a nugget!”? I LURVES IT! Where can I get one?
Kokon? Sounds flamablamabulous! I’m going to pester everyone about it later…
Back to school shopping place for me: Plato’s Closet. Spiffy prices. Clothes that are the anti-thesis of wiggedy-wiggedy-wack.
Speaking of back-to-school, I got my schedule. Eighth grade, here I come!
Honors English I
Theatre Arts III
GATE Science (we only have Honors English and Math at my school)
Honors Algebra I
GATE Social Studies
Musical Theatre
I’m doing DREAM Chorus, Robotics, GATEWAY, whatever team thing that comes up that strikes my fancy, and a volunteer job or two if I can find them. I want to stay busy. Dunno why.
I think I’m going school shopping tomorrow. I’m about to be a freshman. EEP! I went to the waterpark today and got my back horribly sunburned without even tanning my legs or stomach. Ouch! I also have mosquito bites.
Anyway I don’t have my schedule yet but heres my classes:
Whole year classes:Latin, Honors Geometry, Honors History, Honors English, Honors Science
One semester classes: History of theater, PE, business technology. Business technology has become mandatory for freshman, so we don’t get as many electives. GRRR!
67- fun! i liked 8th grade…
68- best of luck! i didn’t really have problems as a freshman, just the ones that come of a new school when almost everyone else knows each other.
wow, that made me feel old and i’m just going to be a sophmore.
gaps, i think its time to open up a thread for people to share their pre-school worries.
67+68) Good luck! Those looks like good classes too.
69)hur I am too don’t worry. Yes a school thread is called for.
My classes are…
PE (LAST YEAR EVER YES)
Japanese 2 Honors
AP European History
Chemistry
Algebra 2
Language Arts 2 Honors
Web Design
Joy for my workload.
71-ooh! lets have “my workload is bigger than your workload” argument
so i have religious courses on top of:
ap calc
honors ss
honors chem
the first half of ap english
spanish II
hebrew (no idea what level it is techancally….. i’m fairly fluent and have been learning for years)
at leats we’ll be able to procrastinate on mb!
65-I was going to, but then my mom read about the violence on the internet, and I wasnt so sure I wanted to see it. Normally I dont mind as long as it isnt totally gruesome and gory and they show all of it, but it sounded….like too much. I mean, cutting someones heart out? Taking animals entrials (spelling?) out? *shivers*
67-I got my ‘I am not a nugget’ sticker in Washington D.C. a couple years ago at a like….world, different culture festival thingy.
There is a meteor shower this weekend(The Persied, spelling?). It already started but the peak will be just before sunrise tomorrow. I was watching them a bit and there are big ones every 20 minutes or so, but tomorrow (sunday night) they could be almost every minute. They’re beautiful and everyone in the northern hemisphere should find a dark place to watch them. Set your alarms for 3 AM and annoy your parents! Meteor party!
Woo hoo! And after that go on the MB to discuss it! (That includes you, GAPAs)
73-I know! We were watching last night, but not late enough, as perseus was not very high in the sky, and I only thought I saw a couple of faint streaks. But we saw something flash really bright, and then it kept moving, so maybe it was a satellite…
Wow, Unintended Pun, that sounds amazing. I will try to get up in time. Sunrise in Washington, D.C. is at 6:19 a.m. on Monday, August 13.
OOOHHHH!!!! I will go to bed super early tonight so I can get up tomorrow. It sounds really cool!!! When my family went camping a couple years ago we saw a really really small one, but we didnt stay up late enough to see any more.
Yesterday I went to the Discovery Place museum in Charlotte, and they had the most awesome earrings and necklaces and bracelets in their gift shop. Turns out that they are made by women in Monteverde using seeds (gathered in a sustainable way), glass beads, and stones. I got this gorgeous pair of earrings with some large brown seeds (they have an even darker brown patch in the middle- wonder what species?) and some really brightly-colored glass beads, plus a somewhat matching bracelet. All the jewelry pieces are different. It’s all part of a fair-trade agreement so the women can get a secondary source of income to help support their families. I wish I could give the link to the site… just type in ‘women of the cloud forest’ on Google. It should get you to the page eventually.
we doing lists of classes?
(in order of what will probably be the most painful :D)
honors chem
pre-calc
AP lang/comp
torch (newspaper)
AP gov
band
i’m missing something. dunno what though.
73- I’m in on this party. Sweet!
Even though I have to get up erly tomarrow, tennis tryouts aren’t as cool (even though I’ll freak out about it later). Besides, out of everyone there I’m probably in the best shape.
Ooh, dad just said I could watch it, if I set my alarm and don’t wake him up. Our alarm will be off (it’s been broken since the storm…) so I won’t have to turn it off when I get up either. Yay!
Lists of classes? Ack. I don’t even have my schedule yet! Stupid school won’t send it… EVIL! but we go back on September 4th so I’m kinda happy. Then again, we get out around June 20th which is my birthday so… hmph.
*gasp* Just went to the “Musery loves Company” page. How do I add my signature?! *is overwhelmed with curiosity*
so I’m wasting my day watching clips from the Muppet Show on youtube.. I love them..
unfortunately, I can’t find Miss Piggy and the Pigs doing “I get around” on motorcycles. if anyone does, tell me what to search and I will love you forever, please?
yeah, i probably should go practice. I spend way too much time on the computer.
73- Whee, I was watching that last night.
81- You could always call them. Normally, I shouldn’t have mine until the 23rd, but I spent an entire morning on with this one guy trying to straighten out my schedule. Calling the person in charge of your grade, or your guidance counselor should work.
SM needs a new job or something. Being a cashier at a grocery store is not a suitable job for someone with no social skills who also does not eat animals. Ughughugh.
84- Erm…. You could work at a bookstore or something. That could work.
I want to work at Yankee Candle for my first part-time job. I’m a fragrance junkie. *receives several quizzical glances*
84-You could work at a library…
A meteor shower? Froody!
I have no idea what my classes are.
Hey everyone! Did ya wonder where I went? probably not. I’m in new england right now! We saw a bunch of cool stuff today.
87-Awesome! Are you having fun?
87- Cool, what’d you see?
87- Have some clam chowder for me!
87-Hope you are having fun!!! If you are in New Jersey and see the Jonas bros. tell them I said hi!!!
Oh my gosh, if you go to youtube and type in Nick Jonas, there is this hilarious video called the NIck Jonas show. Please watch!!!!! I was rolling on the floor when I first saw it, I laugh easily, and then I cant stop. My friend and I have been watching funny Jonas Brothers videos all day. We have been red in the face for the past hour.
Hey maybe I should have said this earlier, but I thought you all should know, there’s a meteor shower tonight, 9 PM local time!
I got this info in an e-mail:
August Meteor Shower Will Be ‘A Great Show’
The annual Perseid meteor shower is expected to put on a great show this year, peaking in mid-August with a display of dozens of shooting stars each hour.
The Moon will be out of the way, leaving dark skies for good viewing as Earth plunges through an ancient stream of comet debris. Little bits, most no larger than sand grains, will vaporize in Earth’s atmosphere, creating sometimes-dramatic “shooting stars.”
“It’s going to be a great show,” said Bill Cooke of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. “The Moon is new on August 12, which means no moonlight, dark skies and plenty of meteors.”
How many?
This year the Perseid meteor shower could deliver one or two visible streaks every minute during peak times, Cooke said in a statement yesterday. Urban skywatchers will see fewer due to local light pollution.
The meteors in this shower all appear to emanate from the constellation Perseus. The best times to watch will be late night Aug. 12 through dawn Aug. 13.
“The August Perseids are among the strongest of the readily observed annual meteor showers, and at maximum activity nominally yield 90 or 100 meteors per hour,” said Joe Rao, SPACE.com’s Skywatching columnist. “However, observers with exceptional skies often record even larger numbers.”
Observing tips
To see the show, one need only find a comfortable spot with a clear view of the northeast horizon, away from local lights. A dark rural location is best. Lie back on a blanket or lounge chair and scan the entire sky. In the late evening, starting around 9 p.m. local time, sharp-eyed observers might see “earthgrazing” meteors that skim the northeast horizon.
“Earthgrazers are long, slow and colorful,” Cooke said. “They are among the most beautiful of meteors.” But don’t expect more than a handful in an hour, he said.
Later and during the overnight hours, the shooting stars will be higher in the sky as Perseus rises. Some skywatchers enjoy counting the number of meteors they see per minute, per hour or during a 15-minute interval and comparing notes.
Telescopes and binoculars are no help, as the meteors move too swiftly and are best observed with the naked eye.
The cosmic rivers of debris have been laid down for millennia by the comet Swift-Tuttle, which passes through the inner solar system every 130 years. Perseid meteoroids are exceptionally fast, entering Earth’s atmosphere at roughly 133,200 mph (60 kilometers per second) relative to the planet, slamming into the air like bugs hitting a windshield
92- Thank you, I’d wonderd which way to look. I think I’m going to get out our really comfy lawn chair with the padded headrest and put it by the side of the house so I don’t have to go looking for it tonight (tomarrow morning?). Just me and my ipod and the sky.
And maybe some of those yummy cookies dad got and I’m not supposed to have more of *today*. Mmm.
88/89/90/91- I can’t say the places I’ve been exactly but I will say they involve a very famous authoress and a very famous artist. Oh yes and there will definitly be some clam chowder eating, easpecially with those tasty little oyster crackcers….oh yes and I’m having an awesome time here! Thanks for asking!
93-Nice idea…
Grrr. My mom just said that I’m Mason and I aren’t allowed to stay up real late tonight.
72- Entrails.
I should watch the meteor shower tonight. Mm. Okay.
I like bikes. Like, there was a bike circus last night, and tonight I saw the Sprockettes (which doesn’t give away my region, I don’t think). It was all very fun.
We camped out in our backyard yesterday (which was already a plan that just happened to coincide with the meteor shower, but I thought was rather cool. And yes, in our backyard. Because I’m kool like that, as you can see…). But no meteors (that I could see), because of clouds and such. Mind you, I was probably asleep come three o’clock…
94- Glad you’re having fun!
Aw, I missed the meteor shower! Then again, it was kinda cloudly and I had to go to bed ’cause band camp is today. Neh. I wanted to see it…
Anyways, for those who saw it, was it awesome?
99- I missed it too.
I didn’t play to watch, but I wish I had.
I looked for meteors, but I didn’t see any..
I looked, but there were too many clouds and no meteors, so I gave up and went inside. I was feeling a bit out of sorts anyway.
I got up at 3 and went outside and looked, but notheast is towards the city, so there’s a lot of light polution that way even in the middle of the night. I didn’t see any, but the sky was very pretty.
I saw one! I would have stayed out later but I kept hearing suspicious noises in my backyard.
Whoops. If you couldn’t tell, I didn’t read the thread before posting the article. I should have known the MuseBloggers would have already been talking about the shower!
So I stepped outside right after posting, to try to catch a glimpse of some of the earthgrazers. I was at the end of the driveway for an hour maybe, and I saw one. It was out of the corner of my eye though, so I couldn’t be sure. But it was very bright. Later I went back out and looked over the whole sky. With those predictions of “one per minute”, you’d think I’d have seen one, but I didn’t.
103 – northeast for me is actually towards the country, but there was still plenty of light pollution.. I stayed out for about an hour, from 11 – 12, and my mom saw several, but I saw none. It was kind of annoying.
104- my backyard opens up on a flood plain, so we have raccoons and skunks and possums and armadillos fairly regularly. And mom once saw a mountain lion in the floodplain. And we get coyotes and deer also. Haven’t had wild hogs in a while, though. and tons of snakes.
We are moving to town in nine days. *dies*
ooooh! can you make a vacations thread, so we can tell about where we’ve been, where we’re going, and if some one is going some where, and we’ve already been, we can tell them what they should go and see! i would really like that!
(now you KNOW that you have to make this thread so i dont burst into a torrent of tears and short circut my computer!)
108- There already is one.
hey im back every one!
i haven’t been on in the longest time, and soo much has changed! so much to tell- i just came back from a holiday around the world, and let em tell you- it was superb! i had had such a good time, that i had totally forgotten about muse AND museblog, but i was on my old laptop when i found museblog in my favourites page! i forgot how much i had loved this place! well i have to go, i need to go shopping since i’m going to new Swiss boarding school this year, and it is all casual dress, and i am wearing last seasons fashions!
BYE!
109- where????????????????????????
besides i think we should have a new one since it is not on the front page, therefore nobody will be on it!
if we cant have a vacation thread, then can we have a twins thread? i want to know if there are any other twins on here besides me!
♥
hahahahahahahahahahah my parents are in New zealand for the next 2 weeks and were left with a baby sitter for this week until me and my brother go to camp and my sister goes to our cousins house up in vermont! the cool thing is thoughthat she is only here at night- shes working during the day, so we can do ANYTHING we want!
the house down the street from us was vandilised! all the windows were smashed, and there was no glass left in the sliding doors. it is brnd new and butt ugly though! so now we have police driving by our house a couple times a day making sure everything is all right. (we have a multi-million dollar house for sle, and nothing can happen to it!)
(111) TPSPOP: we’re trying to make better use of older threads. Here’s where you can find Summer Vacations, 2007:
https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=862
I’ve also added a link to Don’t Forget These Threads so you can find it more easily.
yeah everybody should go on the summer vacations thread, cuz its really dumb without nobody there
117- Ah-ah-ah! “With nobody” not “without nobody.”
COOOOOOOOOL.
I am currently in Santa Cruz, California and it is AWESOME.
Our house roolz to no end and I got the best room. It has a balcony!!!
Anyone live in the vicinity?
100 was supposed to be “plan” not “play”. Typos.
Today I retook an IQ test, and scored 4 points higher than when I took it a few years ago.
(119) If they do, they’re not allowed to say so.
119) -preens- WHY YES, CALIFORNIA IS VERY NICE. hurhur. Santa Cruz? Huh I don’t know where that is..-kicked- BUT UM. Santa Cruz is -checks wiki- up near Monterey huh. Well I don’t live anywhere near there so no worries, GAPAs XD I hope you have fun there though. Vacation…?
Last night at about 12:30 my mom and I drove around to watch the Meteor shower, and the sky was flashing constantly. Once we got to a clear area without so many trees, we saw lots of lighting, and we thought it was part of the meteor shower. But then the wind started blowing furiously, and so we went home. On the way a sign blew over right in front of us, and almost fell on our car. Once we got home we found out there was a severe T-storm warning, so now we dont know if we saw the meteor shower, the storm, or both. Plus there was alot of smog and clouds in the way. But anyway, I know I saw at least one earthgrazer, maybe two.
Has anyone watched that video on youtube I mentioned in post 91? It is hilarious!!!!
Ooh. One night, there was a thunderstorm, and my mother and I went outside to watch it. There was no rain or wind or anything, just thunder, and lightning all around us. It was like we were in the middle of a ring of lightning, and it was so beautiful.
I’m going to pick blackberries. Yum. What–no! I mean, um, pick them for canning. And stuff. Yeah. Not eat them. Well, that too.
harhar we got up at midnight and prob. saw THREE. Crazy clouds, and street lights, and people who leave porch lights on.
Plus, I just don’t think there where many to see. Even when we were watching, there just weren’t any.
123-If you saw anything other than lightning, you are LUCKY.
RtH
We’re going to try the meteor shower thing again tonight, because the sky looks relatively clear. Maybe I’ll go yell at my neighbors if they leave their porch lights on…
124-Wow, sounds awesome!!!! I dont really like blackberries, sorry. Rasberries are my favorite.
125-We went out to the outskirts of town, we live in a small town so it is really clear and countryside-ish. And ya, I know we would be lucky if we saw anything else, we were just really confused.
No one has watched the video yet!!!! Its really funny, I’m telling you!!!!!
116: There’s also Travelers’ Tales.
85, 86- Thanks, I’ve looked. Library’s fool; bookstores minimum age for hiring is 18. Ah well.
It was cloudy yesterday >_
84 etc.- I may get a job at a coffeehouse when I’m about 16. If I’m lucky. But I need a more immediate job because I AM BROKE. Babysitting is the thing that comes to mind. Yay. Not. I’m not good with kids. I could try to get a job at the Co-op, but they’re not going to hire a just-turned 14-year-old. The candy store, maybe? *rambles on*
129- But you’re almost 18. Right? Something like that… *looks up* Oh. You’re a year younger than I thought you were! Is there something about Musers that makes them appear older than their actual age?
129- what about local museums? maybe you could work there?
I looked out the window at about midnight and kept seeing things that were probably just me being hopeful. Ah well.
I teach people violin and viola.. $20/hour isn’t bad.
*sigh* I need something music/dance/acting to do with a group other than my dance class (not that I dont like doing it with them). I want to try out for the local show, but they are currently working on one, so I have to wait. And the next one will be during the year, causing me to have less time for homework and causing me to miss dance lessons. But it would still be fun. *sigh* I am so confused!!! I dunno what to do. Very simple problem, but I am extremely tired from last night. *doses off* Is anyone else tired?
132- Um…no. That’s a LOT of money.
Has anyone watched the video I mentioned yet? I am sorry, dunno why I want you to so much, but I am telling you, it is funny! Its on youtube, if you type in Nick Jonas, watch the ‘Nick Jonas Show’. PLEASE!!!! Please just humor me, my friends havnt yet, so I am just extremely desperate for someone else but me to watch it.
135- YOU watch, “Where does wool come from?” I could, at one point, recite the entire thing, and still could, but without the expressions it’s not nearly as funny. “The ones with the tusks.” *cracks up, but no one else gets it*
I have a question, if the GAPAs don’t get rid of it for being near the area where I live.
Has anyone here ever been to the YSU English Festival? (it involves a bunch of different middle and high schools and there’s probably a thousand people a day for a 3 day thing, so GAPAs please don’t zap this!)
I’ve been going since 7th grade, and i’m not going into 9th. I plan to go every year. It’s so fun!
No… We all kind of fell asleep. But it looks cloudy, now, anyway. I guess I’m not a “Righty-ho, let’s stay awake and watch the stars!” person, I’m more of a “Righty-ho let’s stay awake and-*snoresleepsnore*” person. And the alarm on my cellphone didn’t work, anyway. And somebody did have a porch light on, but I didn’t have the courage to go and yell at them…
107- wow. thats a change isn’t it? you live in rural…ness right?
112- I’M A TWIN TOOOOO!!!!!!! ooh… isn’t this exciting! yes GAPAs’ lets please have a twins thread! are you a boy-girl, girl-girl, or boy-boy set of twins? I’m boy-girl. and nooo we’re not identical. (I HATE when people ask me that.)
139- im boy girl twin too! i know how you feel when people ask if youre identical- i mean hello- im a girl and hes a boy- there is nothing identical about that!
i think that i we will have to blackmail the GAPAs unless they give us a twin thread!!!!!!!!
does anybody here have a webkinz??
m home all by myself and iim kind of scared! someone ask me why!!!
142-Why?
HARHAR THE BEST TIME TO ATTACK WITH MY PIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
143- im scared because our mansion is kind of old, and it has lots of bedrooms and hiding places, and i think i left the kitchen door open. my parents are in New zealend, our baby sitter is at work, my brother is at a friends, and my little sister is at her friends house. my friends are all away right now or sick, and my neighbor is mad at me, and dosnt want me at her house until tonight when we are going to applebees for her birthday, im probably never going to be able to set foot in Abercromie ever again because i had to ask for a gift card for $10.72 because that is what my neighbor wanted. (she also asked for a meat fork and an extendeble fork because she thinks they are funny)
my cmputers sound isnt working, so i cant watch all the Hannah Montana epesodes i just put onto my youtube account, and i hate the song that is playing on my ipod!
now im just grumpy- not scared!
im really cool!
134- Yes, but lessons would only be 1 hour, unlike babysitting.
Hmm. I could try that with flute, but I don’t think it’d really work. I don’t know what I’m doing half the time, aparently I have natural tone though.
139- A change indeed.
136-Will do.
im gonna go find some food!
be back later!
yum! i just made belgan waffles (our cook has the day off!) (so does our butler, chauffer, and maid thats why im alone) they actually turned out really good!
145 – currently, I teach 3 kids half an hour each: two viola, one violin. They’re all first few suzuki books. I give them muses to read while they wait, mwahaha.
150- Sweet, good for you. Leading them on the right path in life… XD
Shadowkat sent us this picture. She commented: “Slowly but surely, Mostly Harmless is taking effect…”
The next step is to, of course take over the resturant. Unless, of course, you already have…
152- YES! At last!
i was going to say something but i cant remember what it was……
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
152-w00t! Where is that? *Eats mexican food*
oh i remember-
i was just reading the boy power girl power thread- good times1 wow i was a total jerk back then!!!!!!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. i mad at YouTube- its taking forever to upload my horse slideshow movie thingy. if any of you are on YouTube, type in stupid dog and watch the first post! my friend showed this movie to me and it is hilarious!!!!!!!!!! it makes my dog look normal!
152-cool, where is it? I LOVE Mexican food, and chinese, and italian, and…..sorry, I will stop.
152- Nice!! That is cool. Is that you in the picture?
well now, please excuse me while i laugh evily….. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyways, thats pretty cool. i still have to send to the GAPAs the pictures of the Kokopelli plant pots I saw in vermont.
heres a rose @>—–>———–
heres a clown *
it was cut off wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I JUST WENT OUTSIDE AND I NEARLY DIED. AFIJDHAD. IT IS SO HOT. DIES. DIES. This is why I don’t go outside normally. I thought “o hay it looks nice outside” BUT I WAS WRRRRONNNNNG
WRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I shall not read all the posts since my last post, becasue that would take me all day, so please do not be mad if I did not reply to anything. I will, however, reply on the post that cought my attention.
152-Now all we need is to get the owner to make that a chain, and there you have it! World domination! (see McDonalds)
164- My sympathy. I’m roasting, and it probably isn’t even as hot here as it is there.
164-Oh my gosh, I know!!! Its so pretty outside, and it draws you out there, but then you practically pass out from the heat. ARG!!! I hope it cools down before school starts, because I have P.E. the first three quarters, and I have it at like, 1:40!!!!
167) Oh man I used to have PE at around that time too! This year I have it in the morning at like seven, but..yeah that’s a bad time to have it. DX
-WISHES TO BE AT THE BEACH-
Helooooooooooooo everyone! I’m back!
~167~ dude u only have pe 3 quarters! lucky! i have it all 4! and it really sucks running the mile everyday in the spring/summer outside in the heat!! ~168~ this year i have it in the morning too, its going to suck. and the good gym teacher that didnt make u do anything left:( *goes and sulks in a corner* i wish i was at the beach too but thats not gonna happen now is it cuz there are no beaches in
[location snipped — Rosanne]
and im stuck at home babysitting my brother
I was just outside working with my Dad with the stupid oil pipe. There is no water in the pipe. I guess that’s good news. It’s so flipping hot out there, I drank a whole crystal light lemonade when I got back inside.
ha, I’m not taking PE at all this year.. High school, baby!
Excellent work, Feline of the Semi-Darkness. I’m going to try taking over the Linens N Things next. I will probably not be successful in my endeavors, but I can dream!
Everybody Google “aquaggasquack”. It’s a very interesting musical instrument.
172- me neither.
173- Linens N Things. Spare me. That was a weird store…we got out very quickly.
173-I like that aquaggaswack thing.
ACK! I went to a concert thingy downtown with my dad and there was this guy handing out flyers and he thought I was my dad’s girlfriend. So I look really old or my dad looks really young. And then this chick asked me if I had a lighter. So I guess I look old, but I’m only 14. Anyway I feel really old now. Grr.
173) aquaggasquack?
176) Wow. That would be freaky. Something like that happened to my mom once. She was only 30 years old and a waitrus at a restaurat she went to gave her a seniors discount.
Well, it’s official. My parents forgot to water my garden when I was at my grandparents. Half my plants are now dead.
176- I wish I could be mistaken for being older. I could pass for a talli-ish ten-year-old. And I’m almost thirteen. Curse my underactive pituitary gland.
Countrywide mortgage stocks are plummeting fast. Bad news for my mom. She’s a realtor.
I got chopsticks yesterday. Fancy ones. They’re really fun. Now my hair has some seriously flamblamabulous flair. Plus, I can use them to gouge people’s eyes out if I get really annoyed.
*pies self for double post*
So as to be keeping with the “R” names that most of OEADs have, I propose that PB&J have a secondary nickname: R-r-r-r-r-r-raoul! Except we must r-r-r-r-roll our-r-r-r ‘R-r-r-r-s’ when saying it.
R-r-r-robert, R-r-r-oseanne, R-r-r-rebecca, and R-r-r-raoul!
Sor-r-r-r-ry, I’m ver-r-r-ry bor-r-r-red, but what does ever-r-r-ryone else think?
172- w00t, same here!
178- Urgh, same here. I could easily pass for a freshman… I’m rather short….
179- Look, are you psychic? Because I wanted to call him Raoul too. *is weirded out*
Yes, I’m back, if only for long enough to tell you about my Grand Adventure that kept me up till three in the morning. (That’s not the reason I’m back, but it’s probably all I’ll have time to say.)
Okay, so yesterday we were on our way to the City, and everything was going smoothly. We were going to arrive at my uncles house by eleven, get up early in the morning to go fishing, etc. Then there was this huge noise, and when we pulled over to the side of the road, it was revealed that our tire had lost its cap. And it was the spare. But there was still a little bit of air in it, and we were on the highway, so there was nothing to do but keep driving on the mostly airless tire. Which exploded before we had gone two feet. So we rolled over a mile on the steel rim to the nearest exit, which, just our luck, had nowhere to park for a half mile or so. Eventually we stopped in a huge empty parking lot that we found, next to a tiny little espresso shop with a purple neon sign. Which was closed, unfortunately. Miraculously, the rim that we had rode a mile and half on still looked perfectly sound. So wed called a tow truck, and had my grandparents come and pick us and the boat and our luggage up, and then of course we had to eat dinner with them, even though it was 11:30 and far too late to eat dinner. We didn’t get to my uncles house until two, and then stayed up even later playing with his roommate’s cats and stuff like that. So much for fishing at four thirty. I only woke up when I did because voices in my dream were telling me it was nine o’clock and I had to get up. Which it was.
So that is my Grand Adventure, minus some small details. On another note, they have a lot of the H2G2 books here, which I haven’t read yet and most likely won’t, since I have Titus Groan and it’s an exciting part. So I don’t know why I bothered saying that.
178) Ugh same here…fadhfjakg although being short has its advantages.I got to be up front at JRR because people pitied my shortness.
Also lol at two years on MB for me. And it’s Morbid’s birthday, though I haven’t seen her around in ages…
170- Um, are the GAPAs going to zap that?
179- I dunno. He’s the odd one out a lot, he doesn’t always sign in, lives in England, isn’t on as much. Plus his nickname was rather spontanious, and funny. I like PB&J.
178: I’m short too- I could pass for a seventh grader. Ah, well. It’s not really a problem except in cross country. Shortness= short legs=work harder to keep up. In the heat. bleh. On the other hand, it’s nice to be short. Although, sometimes when I meet someone and tell them how old I am they say “Really? You’re fourteen? You’re really short!” Well, gee. Thanks.
It’s OK that you’re short violindino. Besides, you might even get a grospert in a few years. The only thing that you have to worry about besides track is if some giant football player decides to stick you in a trashcan. “Trashing” someone in this manner is a tradition at the school I’m moving into this year. Thankfully, there are a lot more shorter people then me, so I hopefully won’t be a target.
181-Wow….sounds tiring.
185-Creepy…
Okay, what is wrong with PE? I actually quite like it, I get a period without having to do work.
179- No, but something like that happened to me last night on AIM. I always set myself invisible, and about half an hour after I got on, my friend Rebecca came on. So she sends me something saying, “Hi! I’m on!”. I had a small freak attack. I am now convinced that Rebecca has ESP.
I got a haircut today. It was just a trim, but now it looks so short! But much neater. I had a lot of dead ends, apparently.
My toenails are now painted a lovely purple shade called “Catherine the Grape”. It’s from some brand’s Russian collection. Such clever names they come up with. “Kreme de la Kremlin”. “Boris and Natsha”. “An Affair in Red Square”. “St. Petersburgundy”. “Moscow Mauve”. “Russian Navy”. Clearly, I have way too much time on my hands if I can remember all these nail polish colors.
182- I’m in contact with Morbid and I wished her a happy birthday. But I think I’ll pie her here *Pies Morbid with pumpkin pie* Happy birthday!
I know my exact height now. I had to get a physical for cross country today and they told me. I’m not exactly short but not exactly tall either. Nor am I average, really. I’m 5′ 5″ and a quarter. I’m seventeen too in case you wish to factor in age.
Jadestone (183): Thanks for the alert!
I have two things to say about the desert scene in “Star Wars Episode VI”:
1. How could Jabba fall for Luke’s trick?? Aren’t Hutts supposed to be relatively WISE?
2. How could Leia strangle Jabba who is probably 5 times bigger than her?!
In short: Jabba is a good crime dealer, but not so good when it comes to wisdom and strength.
183- What, he’s odd because he lives in England? lol
Howdy everyone! I have been on vacation for the past few weeks, but am back.
189 – can you wish her a happy birthday for me?
191) I agree about Jabba. He isn’t very bright. I mean, he is half slug after all.
Well, I am now going on a diet and start excerising more to prepare for PE this year. The highschool PE teacher is apparently merciless and I’m not very athletic. I must say that I’m not too worried about the exam at the end of the class except for one of the sections. Jump roping. Jump roping drives me CRAZY! I can jump, and I can swing a rope, but I just can’t seem to get the hamg of doing it at the same time! I can only do a good jump when a think REALLY hard about it. I’m pretty good at my studies, but I’m hopeless at athletics.
187- We have to look like we’re participating, and I didn’t have many friends in it last year so I would hang around the ones I did until they got annoyed at me and left and then I’d be all alone and I hate what we do there anyway. The only good thing then was that it was instead of science and earth science is unimaginably boring.
188- It’s well known that some Musers have psychic powers. For example, on AIM, we frequently do things *at the same time*.
193- What did you change your name from? You seem just barely familiar.
I AM BACK! Sorry, a french student came for TWO WEEKS, and we had to remove my computer.
194- yup! I just did! and I pied her!
Mythbusters is awesome. I’m watching the new episode! The “viewer request” episode! w00t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111oneone11!!!!1
196- Yes, we do. Even extending to song names. It’s very scary in your first few days experiencing it. *shivers*
Ahora he visto El Laberinto del Fauno. (Now I’ve seen Pan’s Labyrinth). Visté esta noche. (I saw it tonight.)
Diksha-what? article 1:
a|gag|a|bag|a|bag|: uh gag uh bag uh bag. proper n. name of gen 12er MBer. second on who’s here list, zemtee army commander, only human raised on pie isle.
diksha what? article 475836:
|pwn|: pone. v, slang. Slur of “personally own.”
Just wanted to clear that up.
I was the only one who caught ANY fish whatsoever, and I caught two. Yay. We’re barbecuing one right now.
Oooooooooooooooo. Bar-B-Qing is FUN! But at 11:56? That’s kind of late to grillen!
204- My time zone is two hours earlier than MB’s.
Meet The Teacher was last night. Now I’m excited. Looks as though I’m goingto be pretty busy, however….
I just started reading the Pendragon series by DJ MacHale. Anyone else like them?
Wow! I haven’t been on here in forever.
Anyway, I got a new computer. My very own Yay :D.
It is a MacBook laptop. Very nicelike. Runs on tiger 10.4 Very Awesomeness
*is hyper*
Sorry about that.
Ah well skool starts on tuesday….
208- Noooo! Why do you get one? How old are you?
209-I bought it myself with bat mitzvah money. (AKA I’m almost 13.)
Though I do get away with pretending to be 15 sometimes.
If I hadn’t been able to pay for it myself I wouldn’t have got it at all. Plus I got some sort of discount because my dad has teaches at one of the universities.
It has a camera!!!!!!!!
Good to have you back, TIBS.
ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!
TO ANYONE WHO MAY care,
I will not be able to post for several days. If I don’t seem to be saying something when I should, this might be the reason.
Thank you.
Red-tailed HAWK
ok thank u red tailed hawk
187-I am not sports inclined. All I can do is dance. I make a fool out of myself in P.E.
212-Bye!!!
I think my computer is starting to hate me. I just restarted it, and I’m trying to download Firefox (better late than never? IE was being worse than usual so I threatened it with Firefox and it didn’t get better.) And then Outlook froze on me today. And the file is corrupt (?) apparently, whatever that means, so I’ll go try again(had to fix the abnormally slow internet connection.) And now it’s going fast. And a box came up but I was typing and it went away when I pressed space, wonder what I did. So I know not what’s going to happen next. Hopefully this is one of my last posts with Internet Explorer. I’ll go try to find the setup file or redownload or something.
200- *evil laugh*
This seems to be the place to announce going aways, so, here it is:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Midnight Fiddler will be gone from MuseBlog for about a week. She is visiting her grandparents in Wisconsin, and will not have access to a computer except for possibly Monday the 19th. She will miss you all, and sends pies.
208: Welcome back!
212: Got it.
I have just one thing to say- TGFMB (thank goodness for museblog!!!) I can’t go upstairs because there’s some PTSA treasurer meeting in the kitchen, and my sister is outside with her friend sharing *shudders* celebrity gossip! *shudders again* Also, there’s about a hundred thousand mosquitoes outside.
So, this is Firefox. I’m playing with extensions, so actually it’s Firellama, but same difference. Fun! If anyone has any suggestions of random cool stuff to add, it would be nice.
And goodbye to everyone who’s leaving for a time. See(? talk to you, write to you, blog with) you soon!
Bye-bye, Fiddler and Hawk! Have fun!
215-When a file is corrupted, it means that the data in it cannot be accessed, for whatever reason.
218- I’m playing with it too… it’s fun. I’m sticking with the default theme for now, while I get used to it.
Hi everyone if you’re wondering, I have been at the north shore (aka Duluth MN) for the past 10 days and i just got home around 5:00pm
Hellloooo! My computer is frustrating. Whenever I click the “home” button, if I roll the mouse over a date at the top of a post it stops loading and I have to click again.
201) I love that movie.
I went the the beach today, yay! We made a sand octopus.
*Cries in corner*
218- Get TabMix Plus. I use the red cats green flavor as my theme, but you don’t have to.
Bye, people who are leaving. I’ll forget you in a few days, probably.
224- Why? What’s wrong?
OMG! OMG! OMG! you’ll never guess where I just got back from! Dancing in the rain! The RAIN! IT’S RAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can you BELIEVE it?! It hasn’t rained in MONTHS!
*jumps and does a little jig*
:ecstatic:
That’s nice… I don’t like rain. I don’t like Windows Vista, either. I’m at the library at the astro department waiting for water polo time, using one of their windows machines. And they bothered upgrading to Vista. Waste of money, if you ask me. It seems that they’re trying to copy Apple right now.
I’m siiiiiiiingin’ in the rain…just siiiiiiiingin’ in the rain….
I love rain… ‘sept not when I’m supposed to be playing thennis. Well, if it’s just a little drizzle then it’s really nice to play in it, but I hat ewhen it’s hard and we have to use the giant squeege roler things.
Speaking of tennis, I made JV! Yay! Aparently I almost made Varsity, even. O.o But I’d rather do JV, it has a little more free time and I know more people on it.
One of the reasons that I’m happy about the rain is that it will help the whole environment. We haven’t had rain in months, literally, so the land around here is parched. The creek that runs through our town has slowed to a trickle. The trees are losing their leaves early do to the heat. There have even been talk of water rashioning in our town. And, my garden is dieing. Rain ,will hopefully help solve a lot of these problems. That’s why I’m so happy.
It’s raining here too. I think that it is because of tropical storm Erin (at least for me) Texas gets slammed and we get drizzle.
It rained everyday for 28 straight days in june, but we need rain again.
I seriously like how rain makes me feel.
We got hail around 2pm.
OOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGG
Guess where I am. No seriously, guess.
I’ll just tell you.
I’m at APPLE HQ!!!!! Yep, you got it! 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California! In the “Company Store”!
How cool is THAT???
*gapes* No fair… I wanna go!
Whoa! You’re blogging in a computer store?!
By the way, where is everyone? There have only been 4 comments (not counting mine) in the last 5 hours!
Whoa! Oops! It’s 6:30 where I am! Here it says that it’s been only 4 hours!
@ the picture I sent: Yes, that is me, and it’s in Livonia (don’t worry, GAPA’s, I don’t live there).
Gwendolyn-That’s a nickname I haven’t had before…but I kinda like it…I think I’ll use it (sort of) for a while, see what people say.
~Feline of the Semi-Darkness
234- Schweet.
236- I’ve been at the beach. They buried me up to my neck. I was the All-Knowing Head That Sticks Out of the Sand. Quite froody. I had the answer to all your problems.
It is also raining here.
not unusual.
antarctic rain.
from antarctica.
sigh.
i wish I was in Neverland.
oh well.
(NOT michael jackson Neverland…)
226- Because everyone ignores me when i return!
239- Sounds a bit like The Oracular Sleeping Bag. That is, me, laying on the couch under a sleeping bag. But don’t tell anyone.
We have had a very wet summer. Lots of rain, very little swimming. But that’s okay.
I dislike touchpads. You can’t right-click. My life was miserable. But now I’m back on my own computer again, blatantly ignoring the touchpad in favor of a mouse.
Yeah, touchpads are annoying! Mouse’s are so much more easier to use. (Is mouse’s right? I’m sure you don’t say mice when talking about more then one computer mouse)
Although I do think mice (mouses?) are easier, I really like touchpads. They’re hard for some things, but they’re really covenient, because they’re *in* your laptop and you don’t have to hook up something else. I hardly use mice anymore…
Alice – you can right-click with a touchpad – control-click.
Interesting, isn’t it, that we want to regularize the plural when dealing with something that only looks like a mouse. I wonder why that is.
And how about the Canadian hockey team, the Toronto Maple Leafs? The plural of “leaf” is “leaves” when you’re talking about real ones on trees. Curious.

tis the official site for the new Smash Bros. Brawl game coming out for the Wii. anyone who has played either of the previous Smash Bros. games, i highly advise at least taking a glance at the character list. GAPAs, could we (prettyprettyplease) have a thread on Brawl? it’s most likely going to be a revolutionary game for any console – doesn’t it at least deserve it’s own thread?
please?
245-fun
I am still trying to get used to using a touchpad. It’s kind of annoying, though apple ones seem to work better than the ones on PCs but that may be an illusion.
(246, 247) There already is a Computer and Video Games thread.
I just say mice… Actually, I’ve started calling the normal sized ones rats and the mini ones mice.
I prefer mice/rats to the pads, but am too lazy to plug mine into my usb port.
249 – noooooo…
My cat is sitting on the keyboard and it makes it very hard to type. Sorry I havent posted here in awhile, my computer wouldnt let me get on for some reason. UG, CAT!!!She is in the way, but I love her anyway, ew, she stinks!
There’s a hummingbird caught in our garage. It keeps flying in circles near the ceiling. We moved the car out, but it’s still doing that. Suggestions, anyone?
253- my mom says to hang a hummingbird feeder outside the door, but only if you’ve got one.
It just stopped raining. My turtles’ cage is flooded. Oh well, they can swim.
245- Haha, yeah, I used to play for the [town near me] Leafs. My last year there before I moved to another rink we had an english teacher for our coach, and he had to explain our name to pretty much all his classes who thought they’d caught him making a mistake.
I think it’s because it sort of serves as a title, not a regular noun.
253- Hmm… the garage door is open, I assume? If you’ve tried just leaving it alone for a while, maybe sticck a flowerpot in there near the door and then leave it for a while, and see if it can be temted to the flowers then out.
Well, I’m home! ♥ I’m really happy to be back and I’ve missed you guys so much! I’m not posting anything long at the moment because my keyboard is sticky and gross because there were stickers on it that have somehow vanished, leaving no trace but sticky stuff, while I was gone. Blech.
By the way, where can I send vacation photos to Gapas? (With parent’s permission of course.)
252) I agree with The Insane Blue Sage. How could any normal hummingbird resist the wonderful taste of red sugar water? If you don’t have one, try to get one, if you can’t get one, then just leave the door open and hope that it escapes.
254, 255, 258- We went out for awhile, and left the garage open just a crack. It flew out by itself, as far as we can tell. We did try some sugar water. Thanks for the advice, everyone!
239- I did that once. Then I burnt my shoulders later in the day because sunscreen didn’t stick to the sand that wouldn’t come off me.
234- I just love the name of the road.
228- But Vista’s so pretty. I haven’t used it, but the transparent windows… It might be annoying in other ways, though. I haven’t used anything other than Windows 95, 98, and XP, for that matter.
It rained yesterday. During marching band. The first time we went inside. The second time we kept marching, we were in the middle of going all the way through the first song for the first time. Later it stormed and the power went out. Fun. Today we went to 4H judging(I got in 4H because of the lego robotics team and own no animals) for the county fair and my duct tape dress(which I seem to have entered) got a blue ribbon. Not like there were any other duct tape objects to compare it to, or any real standard like there was for sewing, which took up the rest of the category.
re: mice/mouses/touchpads : I’m quite used to using the red dot found on IBM ThinkPads (and occasionally the blue center scroll-down button) to navigate my computer. Probably because I use it incessantly and have some trouble clicking accidentally with the touch pad. And the USB port is on the wrong side of the computer for a mouse/I don’t care enough to get a wireless one/there are only two ports anyway, and I need one free for the extra hard drive and one free for my iPod.
253: I did a report on hummingbirds, and accidentally got a bunch of info about that problem. It’s common, I guess.
259-Yay!!! One flew by our window today. They are so beautiful!!!
Just to tell you guys, after school starts for me on Tuesday I wont be able to post as much, becuase we will have tons of homework (of course) and our fall dance schedule will also be starting, which means at least 9 hours a week. So sorry if I cant post as much!!!
253-We used to have them all the time. There was a little thing hanging from the garage door chain that was red, we put a black one on and they stopped coming. My dad used to catch the hummingbirds with a pillowcase as soon as they flew low enough, but he’s really good with birds so I don’t know if you could do that. If you leave the door open at night it’ll probably go out. Try to hide anything red after it leaves. I love birds. My dad has a blue parrotlet. They’re smaller than a normal parrot, but they can learn to talk and they live about 20 years. They’re so cute! Google them!
I like birds too. Our family is crazy about them, so we have feeders, bird houses, etc. We know the names of all our birds and if we ever see a new one, we fratically search in all of our bird books to find out what species it is. I think that my favorite of alll our birds is the phoebe. Every spring, it comes back from its migration and makes a nest over our front door. The birds are amazing because they catch insects to eat midair! They always perch on top of our bird feeders so they can easily take off after a bug. You can tell when they are about to fly because they start bobbing their tail up and down. They are so CUTE!
Welcome back, Juliette! I’m sure there’s a pie for you around here somewhere.
Allright, I am back. Mwahahaha!!! I flew in yesterday, lost my checked-in bag, had it delivered at midnight last night, and am now unpacking/catching up on sleep/getting ready for school. Ugh. When I wake up now, Kate isn’t snoring, Isabelle isn’t singing, Kim hasn’t fallen out of bed, Jane isn’t talking, Kaili isn’t babbling in Chinese, and Vail isn’t thrashing around. Also, Barney the bat isn’t chirping.
Oh well. Back to work for Jules, I guess. BLECH. I have to clean my room, buy school supplies, etc. etc. gross gross yuck yuck ew ew EW. Blargh.
Did I mention that MUSE now has an article about HARRY POTTER? John Snow, allright, entomology, go ahead, but the Harry Potter piece I scorned. I leave you guys alone for TWO MONTHS and it goes to pieces around my ears. PIECES, I tell you. Geez.
I have a budgerigar. Does that count?
Last year my grandmother took care of her neighbor’s budgie and peach-faced lovebird. My mom and I were trying to get the lovebird out of the cage, but it kept biting us and screeching REALLY, REALLY, REALLY LOUDLY. Finally my mom put on these heavy-duty gardening gloves and let it bite her finger and it just hung there and she took it out of the cage. It was straange . . .
I always wanted a pet bird, but my mom has a thing about keeping them shut up in cages when they were meant to be flying around. Also, I have two cats, so that wouldn’t really work.
I don’t know why, but I feel like typing a lot today for some reason.
265- Welcome back! *pies* The Harry Potter article was written by Kiki, actually…
265- *pizza-pies* Ni hao! How’ve you been, Juliette?
GAH! I GO BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW! ZARK HAVE MERCY ON MY POOR PITIFUL SOUL!!!!!!!!!
265-*pies*
269-I am so sorry!!! I start on Tuesday though…..right after you. Doesnt it stink? *sigh* Well, at least the first day of school will be fun, except for the extremely boring assembly where the principle and staff state the obvious and then give a touching speech about how they have watched us 8th graders grow, and give us luck in our last year of middle school. And then we go home and dread the next 8 or 9 months which consist of school school school and more awful school. Ug. Sorry, now I am being negative.
I feel like an awful person. I hate it when I talk back to my mom, but I lose my patience and my calm. As soon as I do I regret it becuase then she gets mad and either wont talk to me or is just really crabby and gets mad every time I talk. I love her so much, and I am going to try so hard not to talk back or anything, but it is so hard when she doesnt really understand how hard school is or anything, I mean things have changed and all. I tell her about it and she doesnt think it is that big of a deal since she has adult stuff to deal with. She tries to comfort me, but she says things like “you will just have to go through it” or something, and that doesnt help me. I love her so much, but I dont know what to do, becuase both of us are impatient. Help!!!! Please dont think I am awful, I hate it when this happens with me and my mom!!!
Sorry for the second post, now my mom is trying to find ways to make me feel bad, by giving me stuff to do and talking in that tone of voice that I hate. I have to go school shopping with her today. *sigh* Today is a bad day.
270,271- I know that feeling. I alo think it’s normal, unfortunatly because it’s so hard to deal with.
It’s still raining. Rain makes everyone grumpy.
My older sister’s boyfriend took my little brother fishing, so I’m stuck at home with my little sister. I am Sooooooooooo bored.
At this point I am really looking forward to tuesday, when school starts. Mostly because It will give me something to do.
Ah well….
Ha Ha!
I don’t start school until next week! A whole week of freedom!
Just a heads up, I’ll be gone for three days.
270: *gives plate of cookies* I don’t really know what to say, but my mom does that too. She’ll yell at me for putting off homework, which is ridiculous, because I always do my homework and turn it in too. But if I’m up thirty seconds past my bedtime she’ll say I put it off. If you think you can, try to be extra-nice because then she’ll feel bad about making you feel bad, plus it beats yelling. Hope that makes sense- I gotta go, it’s dinner time.
270- Tell me about it. Happens to me all the time. We should have a support group for this. Except, my mom checks EVERYTHING on my recent search bar eventually, and I would get caught….
Just be freakishly perfect and nice for a bit. It helps to remedy her anger.
270) Tell her that you’re sorry that you made her mad and that you love her. Then give her a BIG hug.
Ugh the storm sewers are blocked on my street, so part of it is flooded. Ew ew ew
*pies queenie j* I’ve missed you, Julietaini! (Juliette, Der Wachtelschlag etc, etc.) Glad you’re back!
Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s the last day before school starts aaahhhhhhhhhh.
*Runs around trying to do everything she said she’d do this summer*
I still have two weeks and 1 day
Ahhh. I feel much better now. Yesterday I started feeling weird and kept missing keys when I typed, then I started to get a headache that turned into a migrane. Not fun. But I did take some ibuprofen right away when I realized what was going on, and that helped a little, but I stll crawled into bed around 3:30 and stayed there till nine. Errg. No it only hurts a little if I move fast…
Thanks all you guys, its all better now!!! After avoiding eachother while she stormed around the house I just stopped talking at all unless she asked me a question, and eventually we both calmed down and we were fine. I just hate it when we get on eachothers nerves.
280-I start tomorrow too!!!! Do you live in the midwest? Just curious, there are tons of places that start tomorrow obviously.
281-Lucky!
I have already planned out my outfits for the whole week so I will look ok until I get to go shopping this weekend. My friends and I are really nervous about P.E.
I don’t start school until Sept. 4, nyah-nyah! “razz” “lol”
I still have to read my summer reading and finish my summer math. Graphing inequalities and equations involving absolute value — eck.
283) Wow. I don’t know even what I’m wearing tomorrow, much less next week!
Ooooooooooo.
Today was a cooking day for me. I made my famous banana cinnamon bread and muffins. 
It was so much FUN!!!
Just got back from tennis- Second singles, yea!! R is first, even though she’s a freshie and this is her firt year playing, she’s amazing. Coach wanted us to play doubles, but we both suck at doubles so we get to do singles. Yess!!
First day of school. Actually pretty fun. I’m psyched about The Wiz!
I’m in Wisconsin, close-ish to Milwaukee. I’m visiting my grandparents. It’s raining here, and has been for days, apparently. I wish it would rain at home in Maryland, it’s been the second driest summer since forever ago. I like rain, but I want to go swimming in the lake.
This is the only time I’ll have to be on the computer this visit, so poop. I’ve been away for two days and I was getting super hyper, no outlet, AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! It was a bit of a problem….
Hey, I went to a Gaelic Storm concert last night at the Milwaukee Irish Fest!!!!! WWHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gaelic Storm is one of my favorite bands. I was so excited!!! I got to see them IN PERSON! Wow, I was hyper o the way home last night….. *sniggers*
I think that, once everyone starts school again, everyone who owns a Museblog shirt should wear it to school on a posted day. That way, we can discover other Musebloggers in our own school. Wouldn’t that be cool? Especially if 50-70% of the people we see were wearing Museblog shirts….But that would never happen. Who thinks that would be fr00dy?
288- Cool!! I have a few songs by them (and would get more, but no money, psh), they’re good. Sweeet. You’re luckey.
MF — You’re not in Waukesha, are you? That’s where I lived when I started the Q&A column.
