Post at will, but be sure to read The Rules if you’re new in these parts.
November Whatnot
Wist not, wot not. This month’s random thread: a warm place in a cooling season.
First post! Staying up late does pay off! Yes!
Sadly, I have nothing worth saying.
*gasp* wow first comment!!!!!!! I’m shocked! 80
*Kricket sits in shock* Sadly I haven’t gotten my issue… wait that should be on the other thread! 
I finally got the stupid internet to connect today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went trick or treating last night with my friend KKKittyKat last night. We got so much candy!!!!!!!!!! I can’t believe that October is over already!! I mean my half days and Thanksgiving break start in 2 weeks!!!!!! (The halfdays come first because they’re parent teacher conferences and you can’t really have those after Thanksgiving now can you?) You know in about 10 days marks the one month aniversary of me coming here! Wow, time goes on so quickly…. It only feels like I’ve been on here for 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!! got to go! bye!!!!!!
PS. If I’m not first post it’s because someone pushed submit before me…
yo yo yo!
I only wish it was a chilly season!!!!! Next month maybe, ut not November!!! Last night at 10:00 it was 49 degrees. It’s better now because a storm came last night and the wind is blowing and it’s nice.
That’s too boring!!!!! Think, think, think….No, drawing a blank. I’m leaving today. I have to leave my house in three and a half hours to meet some friends of mine who are taking me to the conference. I need to finish packing, finish cleaning my room, make up my bed, print out some speeches, modify some speeches plus I have to get dressed and eat. I really shoudn’t even be on here. *tehehe*
Bon voyage, MG! We’ll “see” you this weekend.
sry for the mini-comment. i had to go to skool.
NOVEMBER ROCKS!!!!!! yaaaaaaaay november!!! whee!!
wow montgomerygurl whatcha doing? like what kind of conference?
toooooooootally awesome…
all hail the turkeys!!!!
I knew someone pushed submit before me…. In December we should have a “Did it snow yet?” thread… Maybe in January…
hello, all! It has not snowed by me, and I live on a mountain, so, well…
we have turkeys in our back yard, a whole flock, and the big male alpha turkey, who looks like a greeting card turkey, thinks he is Mr. America. I mean really, he always walks around with his tail in the air and his feathers puffed out, and turns around sloooooowwlllyyy, so we can all appreciate his magnificance. and he is really mean. Once I was trying to feed all the pathetic little female turkeys, and they came and ate nicely. then the alpha turkey saw what I was doing, and chased all the females away. this happened three times util the ijit bird realized I was the one giving his females food, so he chased me around the yard for a while. It was scary! he’s like, 3 feel tall at the shoulder alone!
how rude!!!!! The poor turkeys!!!!!!! Seriously. MontgomeryGurl, do you actually like freezing?!?! Cool, so do I!!!!! I LOVE THE SNOW!!!! My parents say I’m a regular snow bunny!! lol!
I ski a lot in January… Do any of you people ski? or snowboard?
haha! sry phoenix it’s kinda funny.
I have a baaaaaaand concert today…marching band’s over
oh vell. concert band now…
oh yes and i have a lovely 20 minute speech that just got assigned for english. something to look forward to yeah? *SARCASM ALERT!!! SARCASM ALERT!!!! EVACUATE ALL SARCASM INTOLERANT PEOPLE IMMIDIATELY!!!*
ah the joy of english…
i’m definitely eating way too many kitkats right now. maybe i should switch to twix (heehee
)
i gots to go eat now…foooood yay! choklit for din-din. probably not. but i can dream….
We gotta have a Halloween thread, Los Administradores (I asked my incompetent Spanish teacher about this one, and it’s okay) or else the first hundred-something posts on this one will be about All Hallow’s.
I went as Monty Python (don’t ask). It rained and I discovered my shoes leaked and I got MUCHOS DULCES PORQUE LLUEVE. YAY!!!
Rohan: I’m asking.
Nano count so far: 1,501 words. 48,500 to go.
did u go as a specific python or a character? or just any python?
I was a random melange (brownie points for vocab word)of characters. I wore a fetchez la vache tshirt and bunny ears w/ lipstick blood on my mouth and a dead parrot on my shoulder (not real) I wore a kilt.
NaNo count: something pathetically short
I have shortened my name again because it looked really ridiculous to have just my name in the recent post box.
For all you bored people, AchillesHeel’s boring cure for boredom is here!! It is… Guess My Identity!
I will provide the following clues:
1. I have posted on this site before.
2. There is no clue 2.
3. I will continue posting under my old identity, just to make life hard.
4. If nobody guesses, I will be very sad, but I will not tell you who I am. You need to figure that out yourself using the curiosity common to Muse readers.
5. I (under my other identity) will also be guessing to throw you off. Or will I?
6. There is no clue 6.
Administrator people, if you tell them, I will personally feed you to Shelob.
Don’t you just love a good mystery?
Happy guessing! *evil laughter*
I got TONS of candy for halloween. People give you little paper BAGS.
Even with braces i have enough to last me till February.
I was a street sign. I was the best I could think of.
We had to march in the rain today.
*burns up photo of evil band teacher*
Are you one of these people-
Sheep
Ebeth
MontgomeryGurl
E-A
ME???????
well you obviously must be a muscle freak cause you know about the achilles tendon located in your heel!!!! Either that or you pay attention in fittness class… So do I… Wait am I the unknown person??? How old are you?
Or maybe a Greek-mythology freak.
yeah cuz wasn’t achilles heel the only part of him that wasn’t dipped in the river? so it’s like the mortal part or something…
I think it’s randomrohanfreak or my alter ego.
mwahaha…is it me or not?
I took the name from Greek myths (me a muscle freak? Are you crazy?) Maybe I am your alter ego. And maybe I’m not. I’m as old as my teeth, and a little older than my tongue.
I think AchillesHeel is yet another one of my numerous personalities, just one that I don’t know about. Either that, or he/she/it is Ebeth, MontgomeryGurl, Krissy(Kricket) or an administrator playing a joke. Hey, Achilles, are you a guy or a girl?
Feliz Dia de Los Muertos, everybody!
I will make this riddle a bit easier for you guys, ready?
Phoenix never lies.
Phoenix isa not AchilliesHeel.
Phoenix thinks Hector is SO much cooler than Achillies. when Hector died by Achillies’ hand, Achillies tied him to his chariot and dragged him around! talk about bad sportsmanship!
AchilliesHeel, you are SO Ebeth. or your not. but that is my opinion. Thos clues are really bad! give us some DEDUCTION clues!
I haven’t been on in a while and I see that some threads have go on with Halloween. So sad. I wasn’t on this weekend because something sad happened last Monday. Unfortunately I was not Allowed to go trick-or-treating. I did write a delightful story (sort of) this week. It is more serious than my last one. If any one pays attention to me, would you be so kind as to direct me to the story thread? Has it died out?
******GASP******
My dad went to the Timberwolves gome with out me!!! How per-post-ter-ous-!
Isn’t it weird that I wrote a story about ancient Greece and there is some person pretending to be Achilles’s Heel? I sluff off in math class (Advanced Algebra ((boo hiss)) ) and write stories. In case you were wondering about my plans to go to college and live in Ireland, they have temporarily been put on hold for at least 4 years. Too bad.
dude no! Odysseus forever!!
yeah achillies was kind of a jerk.
I think it’s sheep. sheep likes that little smiley guy. this one
So my guess is sheep. or me. is it me? mwahaha…
I am presently listening to Kate Bush: Hounds of Love, which is almost the definition of Spirit. however, some of the songs are really scary, like “Waking the Witch.” even so, it is one of my favorites. It goes:
Red, red roses… pinks and posies… red red roses… go down… won’t you save the poor little blackbird? save it… red red roses… pinks and posies… confess, woman! confess! red red roses…go down… the blackbird… the blackbird!
the poor girl...red red roses… curse you, woman! pinks and posies… save the blackbird… you will not burn… pinks and posies… you will not burn… red red roses… go down…and so on. it is a really good song, I will try to find a link to it so you can hear it.
I have something to say about Harry Potter and I feel like putting it here!!! Is anyone still wondering about R.A.B.?? I was until I read about it in my school news bulletin. I was kind of surprised to see it in there cus I go to a Catholic school and all.
Well I’ll tell you because I am so darn excited and I will have to ask you to be nice to me because I am slow at figuring this out. And I’m supposed to be doing my homework right now. Aren’t you Muse people so glad that we like this so much we get bad grades on projests so we can mingle with other Musers? By the way, have any of you seen the Crazy Frog video?? I think it is really funny… just a minute… okay, I had to do something. I went upstairs and my mom and sister were watching that show with the guy from Miss Congeniality on it. No i have not seen the second one and don’t tell me about it because I rather liked the first one.
You know where it says you are required to have a name? What if I didn’t have a name? What if I was a no name? What if my name was No Name? I’d be called No Name, the person with no name. But I do have a name. I’m the one who wrote the love letter to the hot pink Bunny. (How I love him so)
Have any of you read Until They Bring the Streetcars Back?
It’s a fairly interesting and exciting story. Plus it’s about Minnesota, the coolest state in the country. Some famous things that come from Minnesota
People:
Prince
Marie GrandPre
Herb somethingorother
Bob Dylan
Movies:
Grumpy Old Men
Grumpier Old Men
Miracle
Jingle All the Way
The Mighty Ducks (one of the scenes was filmed in the hallway of my school)
By now you are wondering if I will ever start talking Harry Potter. I just had to get all of those things off my chest!
Well anyway, I think that R.A.B. stands for Regulus Black. He got far enough into Lord Voldemort’s inner circle to know where Horcruxes are. Do you remember when they were cleaning out Serius’s old house? And they found a locket that no one could open?? You remember the fake horcrux was a locket??? The locket they found in the house was probably the REAL HORCRUX!!!!!!!!!!
See how excited I got? Now I’ll be embarassed if every one of you deceptive people already knew or figured it out.
Well anyway, I’m off to MapQuest to make a map of my community.
Boxty, the Writing thread still exists. It’s just a little hard to find. Here’s a link: https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=65
How about posting your new story there?
Robert has made a handy new thread to direct Musers to oldies but goodies like the Writing thread. It’s here: https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=103
School Rouser

R-A-I-D-E-R-S Go Raiders!
Hi I didn’t write for a while! this stupid homewok and projects…
Hmm…maybe the mystery person is … EVIL LORD IGOTATISSUE!!!!
Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaqucoughcoughcough..
I feel so bad today.. I forgot to tell my mom that I had a huge club meeting today that lasted untill 5:00 and I had a orthodontist appiontment today at 3:30 and I forgot.. bleh..Please make me feel better!
Nancy Kangas, you are so cool. I always love it when something of yours is in the magazine!
oh, my, MontgomoryGurl, I thought I was the only one who got that one! you shouldn’t post that on the net, some people like some mystery…
oh yeah, and someone try my Kate Bush link, I worked hard to find it!
Phoenix, I haven’t posted your Kate Bush link yet because I’m not sure if it’s a good idea. Robert and I have qualms about including links to “off-blog” sites. That’s because we don’t want parents to get upset about links to sites they might not deem acceptable. Since it’s hard to predict what will tick a parent off we tend to play it safe.
So … I sent an email to Robert so we can discuss this and decide what to do. That’s the scoop!
I keep thinking there is something in my trash can and it is freaking me out! And my printer is making weird tooting sounds.
Well guess what. I tore my ACL over the summer. I was sliding into second base. When my foot connected with the base (it’s not supposed to do that!!!) I heard a !pop! That is the sound of a tearing ACL. It is a ligament in everybody’s knee. it kind of helps keep your leg connected. So I had surgery in June. the 23rd to be exact. Then it got infected. A staff infection to be exact. Oh My LORD did it hurt! it felt like somebody was trying to yank my knee cap off. That is the worst pain i have ever had. I had to have a 3″ needle stuck into me to get a sample. They called it Sting. Yes, it hurt too. So they took the speciman in… and then they lost it. So I got more painkillers and when I got better, I started going to therapy. I have just graduated from therapy to go on to amother therapy called the Next Step Program. It helps people get ready for sports again. I think I’m doing the one in February. Wish me luck. I’ll give the exact date later, when I figure it out. It would be cool to have a count down. *hint hint*
Who is Kate Bush? I’m kind of afraid to ask that ? because I’m afraid I should know the answer. With the president and all.
I’m in marching band too!! i play the alto saxophone! what do you play?
Insert appropriate, witty, Muse-related comment here.
Hoo boy, Kate Bush… She’s, like, this crazy singer lady who is really high and loud and generally kind of insufferable. Related in no way to the Prez.
Dang, Boxty, are you ok? That sounded like… how do you describe it… um, does “Ouch” work?
The Historian is At Work!
Hem, hem. When Achilles was born, he was dipped in some Pool of Invincibility somewhere, I don’t remember, by his mom. His mom held him upside down from the heel, so it got all over all of him except that heel. Forthwith, thinking he was completely invincible, he started killing things. In the battle of Troy, an archer shot an arrow directly into his heel, henceforth killing him. So, say your getting attacked by the school bully, and you find his weakness, like the fact that he sleeps with a teddy bear or something, and use it against him. You got him right in the Achilles Heel!
cool…
I’m such a nerd.
Boxty, when you were talking about ACL’s I immediatly thought of these kind.
wow. now i totally hate myself. and the skool comps. and the skool. and my life. and the world. I had a lovely long post and then very stupidly xed out. WITHOUT POSTING IT!!! my life has no more meaning!
ok let me remember what i said…grrrrrrrrrrrrr….
oh yah phoenix, the achilles thing was the river styx. what he was dipped into i mean. i think. oh yeah and i was being an annoying hp know-it-all and telling phoenix and boxty that the regulus thing was not new at all.
and what else…i was complaining on about my having science hw and needing to do it now because science is in about an hour and a half…ish…something like that anyway…and saying how much i hate my horrible conscience that makes me actually do the hw. my life would be so much easier if i didn’t.
that’s basically it. If you feel that this post was lacking in any way feel free to call my skool and complain loudly. a couple pies wouldn’t be too bad either. get the people in the comp lab across from the library, down the hall from the office. the ones who keep blocking off sites (like cliche’s) and using netscape instead of safari or ie where i could just go back to the history. arrrgh.
Hey… This is the 2nd or third post on amything Muse for me… If I ever get put into “who’s here” then I’m a youngish person… What, you want details? Nope! Why should I?
Pheebs, I llike Kate Bush in her late years when she sings alto and not opperetto. yes, I agree with you that she is annoying when singing really high, but in this album she is AWESOME!
rai-sa besh-ta numa numa ye! numa numa ye! numa numa numa ye! Ki-potari raboshami ye, ma-umeshita do yi kaiiye!
(Numa Numa, by O-ZONE, on Newgrounds [no, it’s not porno, thank god.] the lyrics may be a little off, as they’re sung in romanian.)
Truth=Right
Bush=Left
Tell us who you are AchillesHeel!!!!!!!!! pleeeeaaaase? mousie begs of you!!!!!!!!!
hey, it’s me, back from the dead. in case ne1 notticed, i disappeared for a while there. sry, i’m gonna try to get online more but with hw, x-country, dance, and my rather starved social life, it’s hard to find time.
ta-ta for now
If anybody else hasn’t, I’ve noticed an explosion of new bloggers…what caused it, peoples.
P.S.
Welcome mousie!!!
And all newcomers!!!
Life is sweet in November…
ah….
eh…
ooh…
ih…
uhh…
yhh?
Here’s who people think I am so far:
Sheep
Ebeth
MongomeryGurl
E-A
Kricket(Krissy)
administrator playing joke
randomrohanfreak
Here’s who I really am:
[censored by administrator w/ love of mystery]
[actually, no, censored by moi]
I am not a big Achilles fan either, but AchillesHeel is just a cool name, dontcha think? Oh yeah, and RRF, I’m not telling you if I’m a guy or a girl. A clue for Phoenix: My half-birthday was Nov. 1. That’s actually a pretty good clue, because I think I’m the only one on the blog with that half-birthday, and you can find the answer in a different thread. Of course, since I do tell the occasional lie :twisted:, I could just be pulling your leg. However, looking never hurts.
To KitKat, I think the newbie explosion (no offence, mousie or Memyselfandi or anyone else) is due to a little red bubble in the Nov./Dec. issue table of contents that says “Go to musefanpage.com to blog with other Musers and to read the brillant parodies of Muse by David M. and Megan F.” To you new people: Am I right?
didn’t see that. cuz i DON’T HAVE IT YET!!! arrgh…*runs off to check mail again*
nope not there
who’s david m and megan f?
well i have noticed new people but i’ve also noticed a loss of old people. (where are you???)
yeah i’m looking up my math hw *ahem* because i lost my binder. which would be a bad thing. luckily it’s all online. heehee. gives me an excuse to check here too.
OMG PHOENIX THE LIBRARY FINALLY GOT THE BELGARIAD!!! I just finished part 1 before i had to start hw. it’s really good! yeah i should probably be saying this on the books+movies thread though….*goes off to rant on the books+movies thread*
who says I’m new???? I might be one of you musers here. mwahahahahaha
Rosanne, I got your email and since my comp is a little slow and wouldn’t send my reply I’ll try to send it later. Sorry!!!!!!!! Actually for all you musers, I am new and i just might be related to one of the musers here. might. Well actually I am, but I’ll keep that a secret. Rosanne and Robert please don’t tell them whether who i’m related to or who’s alter ego i am (if i am anyone’s alter ego). pleeeeeeaaaaassssseeee!!!!!!!!!
I never did.
mousie,
I’m glad you got the note.
Don’t worry, I won’t reveal your secret secret identity.
I STILL havent got my October muse yet.
Evil postal service.
November is so nice when it’s seventy degrees outside.
It is in Hawaii!!!!
Pshaw, secret identities. Anyone have Veritaserum?
hehe, AchilliesHeel, you just gave it away!
*goes away to snicker triumphantly over her discovery*
And I didn’t even check the birthday thingie! I am SUPERIOR!
Ebeth=Mousie?
Same mwhahahahahs.
Just a guess.
And you know, the one time Nerdbuster actually appeared, he was me. So. There, to make you more comfortable.
Oh. I kind of liked it with the originals but anyway a nice warm
WWWWWEEEEEELLLLLCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOMMMEEEEEEE
to your new musers.
1,000 virtual KitKats being sent to your door.
ACK!!!!!!!! The Attack of the Virtual KitKats!!!!! RUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
lol!!!!!! And no, I’m not Ebeth’s secret identity.
Hm… Who is mousie…maybe mousie=evil Lord Igotatissue (from some other thread around here I forgot which one but if you aren’t a newbie then you should know)
ANd the magazine is so great! Fo school, I need to make a short, interesting speech on anything, and I chose cohineal bugs!!! ANd I used the mag for info!!!!! Yay!!!!!!
:hyper: Is there a smiley for hyper?
yeah ebeth just stole the standard mwahaha laugh that everybody uses.
wait did we figure out who achilles heel was?
this isn’t making the who’s here very easy is it? maybe it should be called who’s here plus their alter egos…
does anybody else here run x-country or track?
yes! I don’t run fast, but I can run for MILES without stopping!
still no mutant_hairy_thing…
I’m opposite of phoenix-i’m fast but i don’t do xcountry because i have no endurance at all. unless i’m walking, which is odd. i can walk for a looooong time. it’s very useful where i live because it’s so small that there’s no buses or anything and everybody walks everywhere. except i always get lost and end up going from the skool (in the middle) to broad (north end) realizing mistake, back to skool, then to my house (south end).
yes i just did that that’s why i just got home.
Dude, Chintsu, here it’s 80 degrees. In November. Which isn’t fun at all.
Check out this aweosme letter we sent muse!
eah of us wrote a part of it so it may seem a little confusing! lol!
Oh ell here it is

Hold up there cow girl, ya’ll forgetten someone….

OH and we both soooo live in MO.
Hi Tay and Shay from Montana!( Or is it Missourii? I’m terrible with state abrieviations. And I can’t spell either.)
Just so you should know, dis place is not just 4 writing letters to muse ya. *runs from pies aimed at chinTsu because she has picked up an annoying Hawaiian accent* It’s kind of like a forum so you can interact with the other people writing.
It’s only cooler here because all there is is rain. Kona, where i went to a beach today, is cooler because all there is is sun.
Ok, tell me what TV show I am talking about.
1. It starts with an F.
2. The main characters are all cowboys, yet it takes place 500 years from now.
3. A movie version recently came out.
4. I don’t think it’s on the air anymore.
5. It’s awesome.
mousie is either Kricket(Krissy) or KitKat. Hey, same starting letter. I get confused.
I am so bad at running, especially over long distances. I’m a good walker, thanks to my lovely dog and all the walks I take with her, though.
I know who Mousie is! Now, shall I tell the nice people? mousie? Can I?
hey tay and shel! you might be able to post stuff like that on the anti-chatroom. maybe not…i never really got the rules of that place…
hey randomrohanfreak, is mousie kricket? (nod or shake)
plz tell the nice people because i know at least one nice person is dying to know if she’s right…
My Spanish teacher from last year wanted to be a postman but apparently she did too well on the test and they told her she was too smart, so she wasn’t able to be one..
On the other hand, my history teacher from last year wanted to be a postman but he flunked the test because he couldn’t remember the state abbreviations..
Um.. where are the “brilliant parodies of Muse by David M. and Megan F.”? I can’t find them…
Sorry! My scanner broke down, so I couldn’t post them. It’s working again now, and scanning and posting David and Megan’s parodies is on my list of things to do today.
yay! parodies=fun.
Speaking of parodies, who here has read Cassandra Claire’s Secret Diaries? I love those!
erm…they’re a bit…questionable…
they are pretty funny though…
I’ve been missing everything lately!
ebeth: *looks*
ebeth: *looks again*
shock and disbelief: *come over ebeth*
ebeth: I can’t believe it!!! the USECGO is back!!!
the general population of musebloggers: *cheer and clap and shout and party* yaaaaaaaay!
wow where’ve you been?
hey peoples my dad just taught me how to play raquetball. it’s soo cool! it’s like tennis, but better. we didn’t play reeeally fast like my dad and uncle do but it was still cool. i almost won the last game!! almost! soooo close we were playing to 5 and it was 6 to 4 (need 2 pts to win)
now i’m going to the liiiiiiiibrary. but i have to wait for my mom because of the evil rule that says kids can’t check out movies ( grr…
) yeah i want to get capt. blood now that we finally found our vcr. and hornblower too if they have it.
anyhoo yeah. saturdays=funfunfun! i love saturdays…
well you caaannn say who you think I am and I’ll tell you if you’re right or WRONG!!!!!!!!
WRONG!!!!!!!! mwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!! I must practice my WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! to your answers somewhere else… bye y’all!!!!!!!!
Hermph. MOUSIE IS NOT KITKAT, RANDOM ROHAN!!! HOW INSULTING!!!! That was very mean to make such brutal and stubborn assumptions about a poor soul.
What I mean: I AM INSULTED!!!
Pheebs, I don’t watch TV.
Oh yeah, Phoenix rant:
member that bully who keeps at me? well, it happened again. I was in English class and we were doing vocabulary. well, I get the word almost every time, and people have been complaining that they don’t get a chance. so I said okay, I won’t do it this time to let someone else try, and he (and some other mean boys) started up a chant. “Tree dosn’t KNOOOOOW it! Tree dosn’t KNOOOOW it!” I kept saying, “you were the ones that wanted me to not put my hand up! I do too know it!” (I did, too) but they kept it up. grrrr!
kricket?
Hey mousie, I’m tellin’ ’em. Well, sort of. Go to the Polling Place thread. Read the posts, especially the ones relating to NAMS. See if that helps.
I am so evil. Sorry mousie, but figuring out secret identities is just so FUN!
Ah, who cares about clues. mousie is Kricket(Krissy). Use NAMS for backup and proof if you want. I’m almost positive.
Phoenix, who is AchillesHeel anyway? I looked for whatever gave him/her/it away to you, but I’m so incredibly dense I couldn’t find it. Guess I’ll have to wade through archives to find the answer to the birthday clue.
The library had the Belgriad after all. The evil publishing company decided to change the name of the first book. I’ve begun reading it, and it’s good, but except for a few themes I don’t see much similarity to Inheritence.
I think Achilles heel is Morbid. (i’m probably wrong, but u never know :mrgreen:)
Or maybe Celebrian who is trying 2 trick us by saying she’s leaving.
HA!!! i was right! yaaaay!
hey chintsu, i didn’t think it was that bad either until i got to the 3rd book there were parts of that almost exactly like eldest.
Just wanted to let the world know I’m alive and well in this corner of the world. I’m too tired to think up something great to say, ao you’ll just have to put up with this boring post. I had a great time, and I got to know a friend of mine so much better!!!!! We’re like sister now, and it happened just in the course of four days.
Celebrian’s leaving?
Celebrian is leaving? Why?!
Ok, I’m going to try isolating myself all day to work on Nano. Farewell!
I know! Eldest/Eragon is SUCH a copy of the glorious Belgariad! here:
orb=Saphira’s egg
Gedwey Ignasia=Mark of the Orb
Arya=Adara
what’s his face, Eragon’s guardion=Belgarath
Drasliona=Drasnia
Saphira=Prophecy
Gareth=Garath
Brand=the king of that place Eragon saves by blowing up the crystal
Eragon’s sword=Cthrek Goru
Eragon’s future sword that he will get in the third book=Sword of the Rivan King
the evil king dude, the one with the black dragon=Kal Torak, the black dragon king
plus, there are some scenes in Eldest that are copied almost WORD FOR WORD, like when Eragon has to lift up the water.
I HATE CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI!
What is Nano, Phoebe? I must have missed the post that you talked abou it on.
Why??? Why is everybody leaving?
And why do we have to have secret identidies? Whoever you are, we liked you before, I’m sure.
Again: Are you Kitten? If you are, feel free to be yourself again. I kind of like zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzooms.
oops. I forgot the t on about.
I’m not crazy about secret identities. Deliberately sowing confusion just seems unMuselike. Well, apart from Kokopelli, but that’s part of his job.
Still, revealing people’s secret identities isn’t part of my job, either, so on you go.
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know Kricket personnally and she was over at my house that day. Yes we go to the same school. She posted that by accident under name when she was over. No I’m not Kitten because apparently Kitten lives in MD and I live in PA. Ha! WRONG!!!!!!!!! mwahahahahahaha!!!!!!
Needless to say, I was unsucessful.
oy phoenix you know that one place in the 3rd book where belgarath is teaching garion some stuffins about magic and all? “take it from ur surroundings…” “not from me”
ok take out eldest. part where that one other rider dude is teaching eragon…”take it from ur surroundings…” “but not from me”
that whole scene was just like “woah. hang on. rewind. back up. plagarism!!!”
ok belgariad rant over.
we just went and saw good night and good luck. good movie. it’s all in black+white like it was actually done at that time. kinda like a documentary. ish. anyhoo. good movie.
OMG I LOVE FALL!!!!!! we have so many trees on here i was leaf kicking aaaaall the way there and aaaaaall the way back (we walked)
yeah for fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unsuccessful on what Phoebe? I shall now type random letters into the computer.

the doom of depression striketh down the USECGO. We feel sorry for him, and offer him much virtual choklit.
you rock. have some choklit. watch monty python. read muse. be happy.
here’s the Prolouge and first chapter of my story. Sorry if it’s too long…
Prologue
Silently, the old man stepped into the circle, and, lowering his eyes to the ground, started to mutter incantations. The trees suddenly sparkled with an unearthly light. The old man took no notice. The trees began swaying so much that they looked like they were dancing. In fact, they were dancing Faster and faster they spun around the old man yet still he took no notice. Suddenly a loud crack interrupted his mutterings. He looked up just as raindrops the size of your fist came pouring down onto his astonished face. He knew what was happening. Horrified, he instinctively took a step back.
“No,†he uttered. “NO!â€
Then he quickly turned and ran as fast as he could out of the circle. After a few steps, he looked behind him and was horrified to see a lighting bolt the size of Consket racing after him. He ran faster yet he knew there was no escape. Just before the bolt reached him he yelled, “Awaken Lady of the Woods, awaken!!!!†Then the bolt struck him dead.
* * *
Miles away in a forest almost identical to the one the old man died in, the trees sparkled. A weeping willow standing dead center in the middle of the forest swayed gently. Then it began to change. Branches melded into arms and legs while flowers and leaves molded into hair. What was once a weeping willow was now a beautiful lady with long brown hair and forest green eyes. She looked around and disappeared with a soft twang like the sound you hear when you shoot an arrow.
The Lady of the Woods was back.
Chapter 1
Lana sighed unhappily as she loaded her luggage into the carriage. Ever since they had moved from Tinca she had been sulking for over a month. It figures that right when she had finally settled into their home in Tinca they had to move. Again. Consket was their next destination.
“Come on Lana! We got to go!!!†called Mom from inside the carriage.
“Coming!†Lana called as she began to walk briskly to the car. However, before she even got a few steps, a voice made her turn around.
“Lana, wait up! I got to give you something!!†huffed Rachel. Lana paused in her stride waiting for her friend to catch up to her, smiling a little at the sight of the plump girl come running over to the carriage.
“You could have told me when you were leaving,†puffed Rachel accusingly. “I thought I was an hour early!â€
“Sorry, Rachel. At least you made it.†Lana tried to keep from laughing a little.
“I got up extra early just so I could wrap this thing.†Rachel said slowly regaining her breath.
It was then Lana noticed the package in Rachel’s hand. “What is it?†Lana asked.
“Open it!†exclaimed Rachel.
Lana concentrated with her mind on the wrapping paper. Suddenly, the wrapping paper flew off the package and landed in a neat pile at Rachel’s feet.
“Hey, no witchy stuff!†pouted Rachel, but Lana wasn’t listening.
“No way! Two dragon scales!†breathed Lana with excitement. “How’d you get those? I hear they’re worth 500 gold coins each!â€
“I got them at the local flea market in Allagan for 20 silver coins for them each.†Rachel puffed out her chest. “Good deal, huh?â€
“You bet! Are these the communication ones?â€
“Of course! How else am I supposed to keep in touch with you?†Rachel asked teasingly.
“But why give me two?†Lana asked puzzled.
“Well the way I figure, when you make a new friend in wherever you’re moving to, give this to her and we can all talk together.â€
“I don’t know who I’m supposed to make friends with in Consket, though…â€
“You’re moving to Consket!! But that’s where all the magical creatures live!â€
“I know. I’ll be lucky to even meet a girl my age. Even one with powers.â€
“Well, at least we’ll be able to talk. I’m sure you’ll be able to find a girl your age there. Don’t worry1†said Rachel half-heartedly.
“Lana hurry up! We have to go! Your father’s getting angry,†called Mom.
“Well, I guess this is good-bye. I’ll miss you.†Lana said sadly.
“What do you mean? You haven’t forgotten about our dragon scales now have you? Rachel said feigning shock.
“It still won’t be the same.†Lana sniffed.
“LANA!!!!†yelled Dad.
“I got to go. See you later… or not.†Lana smiled sadly then ran off to the waiting carriage and a very impatient father and cabby.
“Finally! Now we can go,†Dad said signaling to Joe (the cabby) to go.
The journey was long and treacherous, and by the time they got to the halfway point night had fallen. They made camp and Lana, Joe, Mom, and Dad all took shifts to keep watch for the night.
Fortunately the night was quite uneventful and all except for Joe woke up quite refreshed and cognizant of the treacherous day ahead.
Unlike the night, the day was rather quite eventful. Joe fell asleep several times at the reins, and Lana, who had insisted to sit next to him, was just able to steer the horses back on track. Around mid-day they came to a bottomless (literally) trench. Joe stopped the horses just a few feet from the trench. Lana looked around and gave a shout of surprise. Scrambling down from the carriage she ran over to a sign a few feet away from them. Her mom cautiously poked it with a stick to make sure it wasn’t a trap. Nothing happened so they assumed it was safe and went over to read it. The sign read:
Welcome to the city of Consket.
Normally we would welcome you in but times have changed.
To enter Consket you must have one magical person in your group.
This person must prove their abilities by moving a pile of rocks to the other side of this trench.
Good Luck!
You have 20 seconds.
Go.
Lana glanced at her feet and was surprised to find a pile of rocks there that hadn’t been there before. Suddenly a voice rang out.
“20â€
“19â€
“18â€
“Lana use your powers!†cried Joe.
“17â€
Lana reached for the power deep in her mind.
“16â€
She felt it pulsing through her veins.
“15â€
“Come on,†she thought.
“14â€
Her teeth clenched; her muscles tightened.
“13â€
The magic was stronger now; she could feel it.
“12â€
“Come on,†she muttered under her breath.
“11â€
Her family waited anxiously for the magic to work.
“10â€
“Just a little more,†she growled.
“9â€
Then one by one the rocks began to move slowly across the trench.
“8â€
Lana’s eyes began to glow and her wispy white hair began to fan out.
“7â€
The rocks began moving faster across the trench.
“6â€
Lana began to rise a few inches above the ground, her hands now glowing a brilliant purple light equal to the one in her eyes.
“5â€
Suddenly the whole pile of rocks began to glow and picked themselves up and zoomed to the other side.
Lana sank back to the ground and struggled to her feet.
“Bravo, bravo!!†exclaimed a voice. Lana looked up in surprise.
Out of nowhere (as it seemed) stepped a little brown man wearing an enormous top hat on his tiny head.
“Who are you?†Lana sputtered.
“I should ask you the same question,†piped the little man looking at Lana’s family. “You’ve brought quite a party, now haven’t you?â€
“My name is Lana and this is Joe, my mom, and my dad.†Lana said gesturing to the speechless people behind her. “Now who are you?â€
“I’m Peddercongoga, your guide and guard to and from Consket,†announced Peddercongoga. “But you can call me Ped.â€
“Okay Ped. How do we get to Consket?†Lana wondered for her speechless family.
“Watch,†Ped said, then turned to face the other side and clapped his hands in a way that would take us years to learn. Suddenly a bridge that led to the other side appeared.
“Shall we go?†Ped asked politely. Lana’s family nodded. They crossed the bridge and on the other side Ped whistles and the bridge disappeared.
“But there’s nothing here!†Joe said speaking up for the first time since Ped arrived.
“Is there?†asked Ped mysteriously.
Lana puzzled over what he said for a moment then gaped in astonishment. For gold and silver light flowed over her milky white hair, naturally pale face, and pastel purple eyes. Where there had been nothing before, now stood the golden city of Consket.
Please don’t call me rookie. I have been here longer than you. Mine was the very first on the Museblog. I’m depressed because I’m feeling worthless.
you like?
sorry Grant O. , it was the only song I could think of!!!!!! Now come off it! You aren’t worthless!!!! As you said, your comment was the very first on the museblog!!!! (come on people back me up here!)
again, you like my story? Yes rookie is a compliment for staying to guide us ignorent musers into the world…
worthless? worthless? WORTHLESS??
HAHAHA!!! that’s a good one…
ur not worthless. have some virtual choklit.
see? would I send virtual choklit to someone who didn’t deserve it?
Who wants more how-to’s?
here, Grant:
You, Utimate Supreme Executive Chairman Grant O., are completely, totaly, and undoubtably deservant of your title. The Most Senior Muser of the Blog, you are a talented writer, great RP’er, and the first one to use a really long, original title. I can assure you that, as a teenager myself, the way to counter feeling worthless is to take a hot shower and lie in bed eating chocolate and reading, writing, or drawing somthing. This can be very productive. I do my best work when depressed, Dragonseye was so born!
anyway, I would just like to assure you that you are a great person. even though we don’t really know you. isn’t it nice how people can like you when they have never met you in thier life?
if it will cheer you up, I will laugh evily so you can critique it.
Yhhhaaaaaayhaaaayhaaaagharfsnorglesnortchaaachchaaakieeeeeeehhahhhaaaaiyaaah!
I MADE ALL-STATE!!! TOP ORCHESTRA!!!!
Random comment, from MG is happening. I came back, and I’m inspired to do more work on speech adn debate in the future, in the hope that I will win something. Sorry I’m not myself, I’m very tired.
darn, I forgot what I was gonna say… maybe I’ll think of it…….
Congratulations, Lizzie! (#121)
Ha! You didn’t say that there is a parrallel for Roran! Because there isn’t! *evil laughter*
And the gedwey ignasi is silver, not white. And orbs don’t hatch! And there is ABSOLUTLEY no divine intervention in Inheritence!(Sorry. I’m very stubborn and will continue ot defend a book i like until given proof. When i read the 3rd book of the Belgriad, i will switch sides and we can all rant about what a copy Inhertance is. n_n) But even if it’s a copy, I like Eragon and Eldest more than the Belgriad.
YEAH!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS LIZZIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure Grant, why not? how-to’s!!!!!!!! how-to’s!!!!!!!! how-to’s!!!!!!!! And, Grant, I know how to be evil!!!!!!!!!!! I post my looooooooonnnnnnnnng, bbbbbbbbbbbooooooooorrrrriiiiinnnnnnng, PSSA PRACTICE WRITING ABOUT HOW TO SWIM ON HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
I like the belgariad better now for 2 reasons. A-it’s just cool, B-I don’t like plagarism (except when i’m doing it
jk!!!jk!!!) and C-I HEART SILK!!!
(referring to comment #53, even if that was halfway up the page too bad mwahahahaha)
Actually, AchillesHeel (whoever you may or may not really be), I’ve been hanging around and not posting since pre-GABOOMBA. I’ve just never gotten around to posting and haven’t been here very often.
Ebeth The Lurker– I don’t know if that was on purpose (it probably was, though) BUT… that was 3 reasons.
Okay… will somebody be nice and enlighten the uneducated? What is “Belgariad”? Please? Somebody? Be nice?
MMI,
The Belgariad is a series of books by David Eddings. Phoenix described them in the very first MuseBlog thread, comment 166.
–Robert
oh. yah. heh.
muse should do a belgariad excerpt. seriously. you can’t find that book. you are not going to just stumble across it in the library or whatever. it is a long-lost…thing…yeah. anyhoo.
IIIIIIIIII actually did the stupid fundraiser thing!!! and got SUGAR!!! sour twizzlers and chewy jolly ranchers. oh yeah and a quick draw pen. it’s a little pen on a string thingy. like those dog leashes. yeeeeeeeeeaaaah. i wanted a flying frog but i didn’t sell enough.
actually i don’t expect much sympathy seeing as i sold 2 mags altogether. both bought by my mom the night before it was due. but whatever. i didn’t sell any muse… 
i’ve already preordered for like another year or 2 so my mom thinks i’m gonna outgrow it (*scoff* outgrow it??!!! whatever!!!)
i caught my dad reading muse today. MWAHAHA!!! TAKE THAT MOM!!! yeah he was reading pb&js brit tower thingamajig.
I have nothing more to say. I think. *thinkthinkthink* oh yeah i’m really hyper. sugar overdose. WHEEEEEE!!!!!!
SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *pants* wat’s a flying frog? and who could outgrow muse???
Not Rosanne and me, that’s for sure.
yeah! I heart Silk too!
ChinTsu, they discribe Garion’s mark as silver. Also, I never said the Orb hatched, I just compared it to Saphira’s egg because it resembled it, and had the same charecteristics and history (read the Mallorean)
I forgot what Roran was… the cavern city with the dwarves in it? why, Riva, of course!
Roran was eragon’s cousin/foster brother/friend. he was the guy that led all of carvahall (the town they lived in) to the Surda.
That was hardly recognizable as a laugh.
you’re right, ChinTsu. there is no double for Roran. Congrats for Christopher Paolini! he managed not to commit plagerism in one aspect of his book! good, an accomplishment for him!
no, wait! Roran was Durnik. No go!
and Grant, did it cheer you up?
Not really. I’m now attempting to validate the purpose of my existence besides torment.
You aren’t alone.
OF SIGNIFICANCE ONLY TO GRANT: I eerily predict that Lola just fell of her broom!
hehe! bet she did. by the by, you guys should tell her that if she is on date, even one in an RPG, she should stop flirting with other people. it isn’t polite.
ok, I just read the thread where she fell off her broom. she is certainly not flirting with… uh… ok, she is…
Heehee. Yeah, but she and Grant are going to the Yule Ball. And she likes randomly flirting. I’m not about to stop her.
Eek, there we go giving people chocolate… You’ve gone as mad as Lupin!
please relay this message to Yi Min:
the quote goes, “ah, spring… that magical time of year when a young man’s fancy turns to love…”
Yi Min, you left out the middle part!
Pheebs, as for the flirting, it’s funny for us readers…
and Grant, didn’t you ever study physiscs?!! basic law of motion: the mass of a falling object does not affect the force of gravity drawing it down, or air resistance pulling it up… you becoming more streamlined would have made you fall a tiny bit faster, but not enough to catch her! you were both falling at 9.8 s./s. there is no way to change that fact! however, it was funny to read…
YEAH!!! rock on lupin! Choklit forever…
phoenix, Durnik is not Roran, Durnik is definitely Horst. Roran would be if anything that dude w/the welsh-sounding name. the double-l thingy. forgot who he was. anyhoo. yeah.
mom’s getting mad. i’d better go act productive for a bit. later peoples!
Actually, the line (which everybody misquotes) comes from Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem “Locksley Hall.” It occurs just before Amy tells her cousin that she loves him. (He’s explaining why he asked.) Here’s the passage:
In the Spring a fuller crimson comes upon the robin’s breast;
In the Spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest;
In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove;
In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.
Just what I was thinking about the physics, Phoenix, Madame (bow) And I do apologize for insulting your supreme (snort) knowledge, and will hasten to critize it no more.
Oh, hi, Yi Min! don’t tell me you read Muse as well…
small world!
hold on, did you just call me ‘madame’? Nachin stands stunned for a few moments, then in one lightning quick movement pulls a Filbuster’s FIrework from her pocket and hurls it with incredible accuracy at Yi Min…
older bloggers: who said they had a good web site for the Warrior series? it was in, uh, somthing like August.
It was Axa, in the September “Things We Like” thread.
The Chairman wants to know if that be the case, how come skydivers can go faster or slower downwards based on how they are positioned.
Because their position affects how much air resistance affects them. If they’re in a classic swimming-pool-dive position, they’ll go slightly faster than if they were in a belly-flop position. The difference increases exponentially over time.
Right, guys? Anybody else who agrees?
Mi madre tiene cabasa larga.
Me too.
Holy Smokes! (By the way, I just figured out where they came up with that term on Saturday!) I was reading about the guess for who AchillesHeel was and then I scroll down and people are talking about skydiving. Have you ever heard of the movie Me Myself and Irene with Jim Carey in it?
Uhm… Nope. Has nothing to do with my name, either, if that’s what you were hinting at. Well, obviously, since I’ve never heard of it. Whatever.
I was just trying to think of posting as on Chasing the Sunset and I came up with this. Because I found CtS on the GABOOMBA, it seemed only natural to use it here.
by the way, who was AchillesHeel anyways?
Yi Min calmly ducks under it and doffs his invisible cap to Nachin. “Ah, good afternoon, Madam,” he says, “No doubt you are merely celebrating the joys of combustability, are you not? I bid you farewell.” He hopped through a nearby tapestry into a secret passage.
On the site its in 3rd person though.
All right, who’s sick of the secret identities and wants to know who I am? I will tell you. If you want me to.
Grant, you would have gone infinimestially faster, and certainly not fast enough to catch her! however, reading the thread made me crack up, so I guess it’s okay…
Nachin jumps at the tapestry, but the passage door shuts before she can reach it. As soon as she is sure that Yi Min is gone, she lets go of her usual careful composure and falls over laughing. The joys of combustability… Suddenly realizing that the Gryfiindor might be watching her through a peephole, she jumps up and, carefully replacing her mask of annoyed nuetrality, collects the reamins of her firework.
oops.. only the word”infinimestially” was supposed to be italiscized…
Fixed it! –Yr. ever-helpful GAPA
and oops, sorry, Yi Min.. didn’t mean to write in present tense. I won’t do it in the furture.
Yi Min peered out and decided to freak her out again. He jumped out from behind the tapestry. “Ah, Nachin, Madame!” he cried, with another one of his ridiculously deep bows. “So wonderful to see you. It’s felt like years.” He had a sudden urge to pluck a few notes on a lute.
Tell us, tell us, tell us…
wait, Yi Min, let me just explain Nachin a bit first. She is very self-consious– she tends to act the way others expect her to, but not how she really feels. It’s hard to get her off balance, but it’s been done…
Oh, yeah, and she’s Mongolian.
Nachin felt the urge to flinch, but she figured she had made a fool of herself quite enough for one day. “well, Yi Min,” she said composedly, “it is a joy to see you. but maybe you should be more careful when you shut those secret doors of yours. As a recent appraisal, I recived the impression that more than one has shut on your fat head recently…”
Is there some special Phoenix/Yi Min thingie going on that the rest of us people don’t know about? Oh yeah, Yi Min, would you by any chance be Chinese? I’m half. Just curious.
Durnik doesn’t have a parallel in inheritence. I like Eragon/Eldest so far because I think the characters are pretty shallow. But that just me. The way you describe plagerism, you’de think someone would sue Paolini for copyrite.
Anyway……. i luv fallafel. And vertual chocklit………
8)
darn hints page is defective. cool with colons makes the sunglass smiley, not 8)
or maybe my computer is just crazy
tell us who you are, AchillesHeel!!!!!!!!! We’re too lazy to gues!!!!!!!
The question-mark doesn’t work, either. I’ll see what’s up with “Hints.”
is anybody else totally not getting what’s going on here? just wondering….
YES TELL US ACHILLESHEEL!!! pleeeeeeeeease? I send much virtual choklit if you do…
The Chairman is feeling “infinitesimally” better. Still pretty rotten though.
hi, all! today, our evil Hebrew teacher was absant, which would be a good thing, but she left us work :(. The work wasn’t hard, but the problem was that for approximately two weeks now we have been reciving a quiz ON THE EXACT SAME THING! same format, even! also, the sub, while one of the nicest and coolest teachers in the school, she was a Christian and didn’t speak Hebrew. Also, the woman in the story whose blanks we were supposed to be filling in was really annoying. She was complaining the entire time about how she had to type this and copy that and read this other thing and how her back hurt and she had to keep readjusting her chair and blah blah blah, and it was driving me NUTSO. at the end, we had to write the rest of the story in, so Zyviva (who was working with me) had this great idea: we made it so that, right after the annoying woman finishes her work, she gets a message on the computer that says that, due to an internal error, all work that has been modified in the past 24 hours will be deleted! mwahahaahha! so she throws the computer out ther window. we got that idea from the sub, who said her friend once really did that!
Don’t be depressed, USECGO. I would do the “Feel Happy, Feel Flamablamabulous, And On And On Like That For A Bit” song and dance, but my dying frog singing and drowning orangutan dancing tend to make people even more depressed. Even virtually. If you, for some reason, do want the dance, tell me. I shall do it and you shall wish you hadn’t asked.
To those who want to know who I am, (and because Ebeth offered me chocolate), I
AM
*fanfare please*
Ah, the Mystery of The Achilles Heel! That would be the perfect title for a special on the History Channel.

Now, about that chocolate. (And, to USECGO, the offer of the song and dance still stands.)
aha! fooled us! well virtual choklit coming your way…
achillesheel is a cool name though you should still use it sometimes…
that might confuse people though…
whatever. anyhoo. virtual choklit *whoosh* yes it makes a whoosh sound!
I would like to read some more how-tos. Those were the first things I saw when I went on here and I thought they were very, very funny.
By the way, does anyone know of a web site were I can hear someone sing When Irish Eyes Are Smiling or Toora Loora Looral?
They are the same tune, just with different words. I am in love with them both.
Toora Loora Looral
Over in Killarney
many years ago,
Me Mother sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
in her good ould Irish wasy,
And I’d give the world if she could sing
(Chorus)
Too-ra-loo-ra-looral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now son’t you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra, that’s an Irish lullaby.
Oft in dreams I wander
To that cot again,
i feel her arms a-huggin’ me
As when she hled me then.
And I hear her voice a-hummin’
To me as in days of yore,
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.
(Chorus)
Too-ra-loo-ra, Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-ra-loo-ra, hush now don’t you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra, Too-ra-loo-ra-li
Too-la-loo-ra, that’s an irish lullaby.
When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
When Irish eyes are smiling
And Irish smiles are wide,
When Irish hearts are happy
And the piper plays a slide,
When the Irish stew is bubbling
And the soda bread is hot
And the Irish tea is steeping in
A little Irish pot,
When the room is warm with laughter
And the songs are bright and bold
And there’s poetry and magic
In the stories that are told,
Isn’t it a blessing,
Isn’t it just grand
To know the heart and soul
Of you belongs to Ireland?
Now if that doesn’t make you just sigh with love and that stuff,
I don’t know what will. Except the way Ebeth says choclate.
You know, I am an extremely shy person. I was so scared to
start writing on this. So, yeah. if you’re somebody whose just reading tis and they ae too afraid to start writing, don’t be afraid
like I was. We won’t bite. Or at least not me. I’m not sure about some of those other people *eyes shift suspisiously* Just a
message to all the little Boxys, Champs, Mutton Stews and
Potato Dumplings out there.
Does anybody know how to punish fingers that miss the keys they are supposed to hit. I mean, they miss the key and they punch! Talk about naughty!
Anybody going hunting this weekend?? I am going on Sunday and it is my first time. Don’t even talk to me about how I’m killing Bambi. He is a fictional character and venison tastes good. So there. I am satisfiying a primitive urge to hunt. Not stay home and clean the house like a good little girl. Nope, that is not for me.
Does anybody have a Renassiance Festival in their state? I’ve gone the past two years and i have loved it. I did the tomato(e?) throwing game. My first two missed the guy by alot (remember, I had to miss the softball season becasue of my injury) and then after he had said,” C’mon girly, wipe the Jergen’s off your hands” (I don’t own Jergen’s), I hit him in the face. Then the crowd mad that ohhing noise and then the gut next to me hit the tomato(e?) guy in the face too. That was a great day for me.
YEAH!!! I love the rennaisance fest IT TOTALLY ROCKS!!! I didn’t do tomato throwing and stuff though. I escaped by bringing just enough money for food. if you bring extra money it just vanishes *poof*
my mom sings that second song aaaall the time. didn’t know the first one though.
punish your fingers by dipping them in something sticky. that always makes them mad.
ok i need help. please. does anybody here have a password to get on the prentice hall online textbooks? anybody? cuz otherwise i’m screwed.
i almost signed up for the free trial thingy under a random skool and the evil plot would’ve worked until i got to the bottom and it said “we will email a postcard blahblahblah” and i was like “nooooo!!!”
stupid conscience. bleh.
plus i’m ultra-paranoid about comps.
unless anybody can guess my teacher’s password. something to do w/shoes??
plzplz i know i’m a bad girl for forgetting my book and i deserve what i would get but if anybody knows how to get on there i neeeeed the book! 25 pt thing! due tomarrow! need book! baaaaaaaad.
i know i’m a terrible horrible procrastinator and you should just let me try to guess through it and get a bad grade and maybe that would teach me a lesson but i really don’t want to learn any lessons right now and would be extremely grateful.
virtual choklit! and bunny pts! and whatever the heck you want!! yes i’m desperate!
uh, oh! Grant! we are pumping you with SELF ESTEEM! *ominous theme music* heee’pppppp! heee’pppp! Hatzilu!
I just made a very stupid mistake, so now I’m even more self-condemning. I won’t go into what it was. Hey, did anyone here ever play Command and Conquer? The original one? Because using handy little software I got at http://www.finalenotepad.com, I am aranging some of the music for marching band cheers.
oh dear. Say goodbye to your grades mr. chairman.
hey phoenix, what does heee’pppppp heee’pppp Hatzilu mean?
“heee’ppp” is how an old cartoon charecter called Pogo says “help”, and “Hatzilu” is help in Hebrew.
Nothing we are saying seems to be helping Grant O. fell better about himself, so let’s try a differant tune:
MR. CHAIRMAN! QUIT MOANING AND CHEER UP ALREADY! IF YOU DON’T, PHOENIX WILL PERSONALLY SEND 50,000 RED ANTS TO TO SKEWER YOU ON A BARBEQUE STICK AND EAT OUT YOUR EYEBALLS! SHE MEANS IT! PHOENIX NEVER LIES! SO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE BEFORE SOME OF US ROLL OVER YOU WITH A CEMENT MIXER!
Did it work?
yeah mr chairman if i got depressed over all my mind-bogglingly large number of stupid mistakes i would be dead by now. I would most definitely have jumped in front of a cement mixer willingly instead of waiting for phoenix to do it for me.
so stop being depressed or I will call you Marvin!!! mwahaha…
marvin! marvin! marvin!
phoenix would those be virtual ants? i really hope so. ants creep me out. stupid conformist ants. grr. get a life you stupid little ant!!!
sry that would be me talking to invisible ants just there. It’s a bit late for me to actually make any sense at all. Usually the only time I make any sense is when i keep my mouth shut. Which happens..erm…when I’m asleep. Sleeping does make sense doesn’t it? and now i shall leave since I am making no sense and would like to create the illusion of pretending to attempt to try to sleep. zzzzzz
yeah right. like that’s gonna happen. maybe i’ll re-read the belgariad. It’s that or stalky+co. hoom. decisions decisions…
I love Pogo! Yay for the Okeefenokee!
Things I Got For My B Day:
Rechargable Tealights
Character Is Destiny (John Mcain Book)
Moulin Rouge! DVD
The Penultimate Peril (12 book in the Series of Unforunate Events)
Eldest (Inheritance Book 2)
Phoenix, don’t kill me! I’ll read Belgiarad sometime, I promise!
omg! it seems the GAPA is on!
what are rechargable tealights???
unfortunate events rocks. hilarious. good stuffins. haven’t read the 12th one yet though.
yay for phoebe! sending some virtual cupcakes now because i honestly have nothing better to do but send you more virtual junk that will just keep piling up in your virtual room until your virtual mom comes in and says, “you need to get rid of this virtual junk. we’re having a virtual garage sale.” virtually of course. everything’s virtual. online anyway. cuz that’s how it is online. actually that’s sorta what it means. ish. and now i’m making no sense again.
Heehee i was wright, it was randomrohanfreak.
Phoenix, you make great threats.
*bows like Yi Min* Why thankee, dear lady. Yes, those would be virtual ants.
*bows like Yi Min* Why thankee, dear lady. Yes, those would be virtual ants. twice posted…
guys…i had hardly any skool today cuz the band went and marched in the veteran’s day parade downtown…it rocked we just stood around talking for like half an hour then we marched then we ate pizza, then we totally hung around doing nothing in the hallways so we could get out of class. good times…
but I NEVER want to hear god bless america again, that song really got on my nerves after the 124548543th time…
why did you post that twice phoenix??
oh yeah and mr. green is still alive. i haven’t been using him much lately. it’s mad him very sad. he loves getting cloned.
The Chairman has been feeling a little better recently, which is remarkable as it was a really horrible mistake. The plumbing just came back on, so I’m going to go take a shower because I feel GROSS!! I make better threats.
Ebeth, I posted twice becaus the first time I forgot to put in my name and then it said I’d already posted, so I had to post twice.
Grant, you do NOT make better threats than me! stop insulting my genius or I’ll take a blunt meat cleaver, chop off your legs, feed tham to rabid squirrels, feed the rabid squirrels to you, which will make you rabid, and then give you ten zillion painful rabies shots. haha. I win.
oh, yeah, and I bet my mistake was dumber. I just had a MASSIVE Jewish History test, and I wrote that Persia conquered Judea and destroyed the Temple, and were later defeated by the Maccabies. That was really dumb, because the Maccabies came 200 years later and defeated the Geco-Serians, the Persians were the ones who let us REBUILD the Temple. I will probably fail, and if that dosn’t seem like a dumb mistake, you are not Jewish. even my BROTHER, who is FOUR, could answer that more or less correctly.
Don’t make me render you impotent.
Just try it, you ugly wart on a salamander’s tongue.
(I was also named Grand Exalted Class Insulter. really! I’m not kidding!)
I feel like a 200th post.
Unfortunately, I have nothing good to say. Other than I want my virtual chocolate.
Oh, yes, and Boxty, I have never been hunting. I have never felt the slightest urge to go hunting, and even if I did I couldn’t because meat isn’t Kosher unless it has been Shechted, or killed in the most humane and painless way possible, which is by severing a nerve that goes to the head. by cutting the nerve, you cut off all feeling, so for the millisecond before it dies there is no pain. and don’t go on to me how this is a religious myth, it has been scientifically proven. I still wouldn’t want to do it myself, though. And also, the blade has to have no serrated teeth, because that would hurt the animal, just plain, flat steel that is so razor sharp even touching it lightly can cut off your finger (like in LOTR :)).
and about the tomato… you go, girl!
what tomato? of course I am not Jewish!!! I’m a Christian!!!!!! (no religion wars please) I think Jewish people are probably just as nice as everyone else in the world!! (really they are, my bff is Jewish and well… she’s my BFF) duh.
to poop with spelling!
I spit blood plasma upon thy worthless carcass. Maggots consume the flesh of those who tried stepping up to my awesome skills and got pwned.
That is, if there’s anything left.
Oh, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
YOUR MOTHER WAS A HAMSTER AND YOUR FATHER SMELT OF ELDERBERRIES! I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION! I AM THE SPECIALEST AND YOU ARE BUT A GRAIN OF SAND TO ME! BOW, COWER IN MY AWESOME POWER AND WORSHIP YOUR BENEVOLENT DICTATOR AND APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE NO MORE THAN A SMALL INSECT UNDER MY FOOT! RAAAAAAHHHHH!
(You call ’em Mad Skillz, Grant.)
Your insults are so feeble I must restrain my laughter. Fwahahahaha… Fear my Shakesperian-style insult vocabulary!
(No, that does NOT mean I insult people in Old English. It means that I insult in a creative fasion that leaves the insulted wondering what the heck I just said.)
mousie, I was talking to Boxty, and I was annoyed about the HUNTING, nothing else! if you took offence, IT IS NOT MY FAULT. the tomato… I mean, when you said you threw the tomato at the guy at the fair and it hit him in the mouth. plus, when I said in #197 about you not being Jewish, I meant that all Jews know this fact, I wasn’t implying anything anti-Christian! misunderstanding city!
*goes away and pouts at the fact that CERTAIN PEOPLE think Phoenix is racist, which she most undoubtably isn’t*
your feeble insults cause me amusement, oh unsightly wart on a pig’s backside. I shall certainly take no cheek from a dunce such as you. your lauguage is the foul slang of the lowest street thieves. apon seeing your overlarge head, people are doubtless reminded of a giant, burbling tomato.
and as for Pheebs… QUOTING FROM MONTY PYTHON IS NOT FAIR!
ooh burn!
yeah monty python rocks but it should be origional.
how’s this?
you are as special as the small wrinkly bit of paper that I crushed and threw in the trash. I fervently hope that your fates will be much the same. your brains are considerably less than those of an ant. I wait for the inevitable day when your incredible stupidity will bring about your completely untragic demise.
lol no offense people!
no, wait. #210 was an overeaction. mousie, I certainly didn’t mean to make any religious comment whatsoever, other than a bit of meaningless culture fact. I was not implying that hunting is evil, I was ot implying that Jews or any other specific racial or religious groups are not nice, I was merely grumpy because I personally dissaprove of hunting. the thing about shechting was just there because I thought maybe people would find it interesting. I was not trying to start a religion war or make comments about animal abuse. let me make this absolutely clear: I am a treehugger (sometimes known a s a whale lover). I do not think that everyone should be an animal rights activist or whatever. I merely (a) am a religious Jew, (b) do not like hunting, and (c) am a nosy fiend. I am not one of those hippie guys who wear t-shirts saying, “hug a dandelion”, or people who belive that they have the only right ideas in the world. Mister Administrator, will you pleas delete the offensive posts?
Whooo so many evil insults. Looks like i started something her:twisted:
I am not a very religious jew. The last time i went to services was on Rosh Hashana. We can’t find a synagogue that is close to here. sigh…..
Meanwhile, I shall grind up all my enemies, turn them into falafel, and fead them to devil. It’s quite fun.
Who are we insulting again? Or did you empty-headed typer-babbler balls of dog hair on the floor that are about to get eaten (yes, my dog eats her hair. And she sheds so much, I do too.) forget why people are insulting the other half-digested grapes on their way to the large intestine on this blog? My insults are not feeble, either, just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above your insanely tiny and vacuous heads. If you did happen to forget, I will personally cut you up and feed you to Shelob, you silly dog-slobber wipers. Take that!
I didn’t mean that!!!!!!!!!! I was just commenting on religion!!!!!!!!! COMMENTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m…. wait this shouldn’t go on this thread… To the Anti-Chatroom!!!!!!!!
ooooh getting toasty in here!!!
erm…phoenx? “hug a dandelion”???? I mean, dandelions are great and all but aren’t they kinda small to hug???
did you actually see a shirt like that or did you just randomly make up something that it would say?
I spit upon your overlarge hairy feet (woohoo hobbits rock!!!) and eat your voice box while it’s in your throat. You are the small speck of dirt under my left toenail that fell out in the shower. I laugh as you fall down the drain, your incredibly tiny head making such a journey possible. Somebody must have made a mistake when you were born-it appears what’s in your head instead of a brain is another set of large intestines. It would give me great pleasure to boil you in a large pot and eat you for dinner. I shall not do that however-I don’t eat things that eat dog poop. OOH BURN!!! what do you have to say about THAT???
It was a joke from a comic I like, Bloom County. And I am having an insult contest with Grant O.
I’m not good at insults. Threats perhaps,but not insults.
Want to be insulted, knaves? Go Here!
http://www.pangloss.com/seidel/Shaker/index.html
Contest? Bah! I grind the heel of my boot into your worthless, vapid, and unorginal insults. Besides, I don’t want to offend anyone on here, as in 10 years or so I will be attempting to expand the Ministry of Amusing Enterprises into a vast and powerful organization. I don’t need to bother with this. I apologize with being depressed and for wasting your time and brain power.
Not to get into a war with Pheonix or anything, but everyone in my family hunts. My dad and brothers are actually going hunting tomorrow. I don’t think I could live without deer meat. My least favorite movie of all time is Bambi (no joke). I understand you weren’t saying it’s wrong to hunt, but I like to randomly talk about hunting. If you want to hear mildly disgusting hunting stories, let me know and I will tell you some.
i don’t hunt but I my dad knows somebody who lives in MI who ran over a deer once and then ate it cuz he didn’t want to waste it.
i don’t even remember bambi all that much. i remember a stupid cute little skunk and a deer but that’s it.
Thou bootless folly-fallen fustilarian!
yeah i totally stole that. nice site yi ming chang!
does anybody happen to know what a fustilarian is though? cuz i have no clue.
guys i have an itk tournament at st. charles today!! woohoo!!! g2g now, i’ll tell you all how badly we lost.
The football playoffs have started. My brother’s team is the #1 seed for our state in our class. We’re hoping they can pull off beating some other really good teams to make it to the championship. The state high-school final game used to be played in the Super Dome, but that’s obviously out. Last night my brother’s team, the #1 team in the state, played the #32. They creamed them, even without thier two best running backs, who got hurt last game. They’ll be able to play next week, though. Our absolute best RB hurt his shoulder diving for a ball a while back, and he won’t be able to play until next season. They do good anyway.
Bambi was so annoying!!!!!! It made the hunters into the bad guys, which is not true. It acted like the hunters were just trying to be mean and kill a few helpless deer. You may not believe this, but hunting actually helps deer. If we don’t hunt, them their population will get huge, and then there will be no food, which will lead to mass starvation. Believe it or not, but in areas where hunitng has been outlawed the number of deer in the area has gone down and in places where deer hunting is encouraged, the deer population has risen. It may be hard to believe, but hunting is actually good for deer as a whole.
hey guys… I gots foot surgery yesterday. well actually it wasn’t foot surgery. I had an ingrown toe nail and they had to cut it off. not the whole nail! just the right side. only a sliver. blech. stupid novacaine… my parents went christmas shopping right now….
I don’t hunt; I think hunting is stupid, pointless, and.. inhumane, I guess is the closest word to what I’m looking for.
Coltrane got the nickname “Bird”, short for “Yardbird” because once his van ran over some chickens (also known as yardbirds) and so the group stopped, picked them up, and ate them for lunch or supper or something.. or at least that’s what my brother said..
I had quartet rehersal yesterday (we’re doing Beethoven’s op. 18 no 4 in c minor first movement for S&E (solo and ensemble- it’s a competition), only it was more like trio rehersal, because our second violinist was practicing during advocate, and somehow managed to break his bridge in half.. he came out into the cafeteria holding two pieces of bridge and was like, “Um.. Lizzie.. this is my bridge.. I don’t think I can practice this afternoon..” So. yes. High drama in the music world.
I think I just explained why hunting was not inhumane. It’s more inhumane to let them starve to death than kill a few and save the whole, don’t you think?
I’m in debate, and we’re debating the resolution “the media’s right to protect confidential sources is more important than the public’s right to know.” Thursday I debated as negative, which means I was against the resolution. Sometime this week I have to write an affirmative case. In about four weeks, I’m going to have to debate my best friend. We’re both going to be arguing for the side we don’t agree with. It should be fun.
I shall never speak of it again
Two years ago, when my sister was in fifth grade, we were driving her friend home from the rollersakting rink. My sister’s school had been having a get together thing. Well we were dirving down a highway and I see a buck come running across the road. It rams into the car in front of us. Gets on the hood of our car, rools over the top of it, smashes our wind shield, hits the car behind us and the car behind that drags it on for a while. I was sitting in the front passengar seat. If it hadn’t been for the dashboard, the wind shield would have plopped down on me. Forunately, the only one who was hurt was me. I only had a bloody lip and lots of little pieces of glass on me and in my hair. I was wearing glasses at the time so no glass got in my eyes. But they were etched into the lenses. There was a little boy in the car in front of us. If he had been sitting on the other side, he wouldn’t be here right now. He escaped with some scratches. So our car was totaled and we were standing outside in November waiting for the cops. She let us get in the car. I then figured out that you can’t open a cop car from the inside. That was an extemely scary night.
Oh, by the way, my school’s football team won the game last night. Quater finals I think. The next game they’ll play will be in the Dome. Cool.
I love rollersakting.
rollersakting??????? I like it!!!!!!!
Can we stop pointing out other people’s typos? I mean, if we really don’t know what they mean, fine, but don’t do it just to do it.
the following is a quote from Mandorallen:
how darest thou insult mine honor, craven knight? Come face me, wastrel, and I shall prove thine foul villainy apon thy body. Or wouldst thou prefer to crouch doglike behind thy parapet and yap at thy betters?
making insults is too hard when you can’t see the other person, so I’ll switch back to threats: quit insulting my refined skill, or I shall take a big rock and hit you with it. then I shall tell Zyviva you insulted her, and see how long you last! soory, but I have a limited amount of time and I can’t waste it thinking up something better.
poll time, guys! 1 wish– and you have to wish for somthing for yourself. No world peace or anything, just some object or ability or even a magical power. think about it!
anyway, Boxty: wow. you are one lucky girl!
nuts! another double post! grr…
THANK YOU, MG!!!
I should be doing math homework. but i’m not.
i dunno i think people are more careful when other people point out their mistakes. i mean seriously aren’t we all better typers now?
but whatever.
hey guys…our jv team won the first two rounds and then tim and alex (I think his name’s alex…I’m pretty sure it’s alex. if it’s not, oh well you guys don’t know him anyway) and some of the other jv team (we had so many people we split into 2) went to see the state championship thing for our soccer team at crew stadium (we won btw go us!) and they’re the ones that know all the answers. we lost the next one 7 to 21. pretty sad. but it was fun. I had to leave after that for rip, and the two remaining members of our team were planning on leaving at around 12. so we most definitely didn’t win. I dunno how the varsity team did though. they all stayed i think.
yeah so much rambling happiness about that. oh and I’m watching capt. blood and it totally ROCKS!!!!! woohoo! awesome story. and errol flynn is hott. even in black+white. one thing bugged me though cuz it’s called capt. blood, but they didn’t actually get a ship until about an hour in. I kept waiting for the mutiny on the slave ship but no never came. they got across got bought did a few other things and then got a ship. plus i know almost nothing about james II (pb&j???) it’s always cooler when you know the history. but it’s totally AWESOME!!!!! this should all be on the books+movies thread actually. copy+paste time.
but I said I liked it…. *pout*
well I said i liked it… in my head……. I think Kricket can read minds…
I’m a vegetarian, so I’m not really a big fan of hunting for sport. I think that hunting only enough to eat supports an ecosystem and keeps numbers of prey under control is fine and even good, though I’d never do it. (Leave that to the wolves.) I haven’t seen Bambi in something like ten years. All I remamber is a deer named Bambi. I’m good, right?
I love this blog. It’s so much nicer to debate stuff here than on the mail page, where it takes forever for your letter to show up even IF they don’t throw it in the FMP, and then it’s highly likely that you’ll get bunnied. I like the mail page too, of course, but you can’t do round-robin-writing or roleplaying in letters.
aha! mousie=kricket! yes? no? nod or shake. wait..never mind. say yes or no. i can’t exactly see you from here.
If I could have anything, I would wish I could fly. Maybe fly to different dimensions. That has been my #1 wish since I was tiny.
I changed my mind. I would wish that some girls at my church were not there. When my BF in the WWW went to school with them they were really mean to her and hurt her, deeply. As a direct result she doesn’t trust them or anyone else in our youth-group and can’t enjoy it. I know my BF in the WWW stays away from things she would otherwise enjoy because of them. My BF in the WWW thinks they’re still mean to her. I don’t know if they are or not. I do know that BF in the WWW thinks they are, and she will never learn to trust them. I do so wish I could stop the pain I know they cause her. I wish I could take all of her pain. She doesn’t deserve what she has gotten, and I just want to take some of her load. I also wish I could show those girls at church what jerks they were and make them experience what they caused BF in the WWW. The world is horribly unfair.
no ebeth. I am not Kricket. I know Kricket (she goes to my school) but I’m not her alter ego. I’m innocent!!!!!!!! lol!
*shakes head*
ouch. i hate it when that happens. i don’t mind (much) if it happens to me cuz i’ll just tell them what jerks they are and not care, but i know some of my friends just won’t do that. at my old skool half the girls in the skool were those “i think i’m the coolest cuz i spend five hours putting my hair up and you don’t” girls, and they were bugging one of my friends about her shoe size (cuz the idiots can’t see that if she’s tall she’ll need bigger feet so she won’t fall over) and she never did anything until like the last day of skool and then she got soooo mad. i was like “yes! finally! you tell them!”
could somebody please explain to this poor child why she’s doing homework at 8:04 and then going to a dress dress rehearsal that takes all day (the dress dress was intentional btw-this is the dress rehearsal for the final dress rehearsal. so much rehearsal.) and then totally doing her hw at the last minute instead of doing a good job. oh and while you’re at it maybe you could explain why she’s still on the museblog instead of doing her hw. just wondering.
Yeah. I would just tell those girls to stop it, or I would ignore it. My BF in the WWW is not that way. She can’t bring herself to do something that might be rude. Sometimes I’m in youth-group and the girls are being so nice to me, and I wonder if everything BF in the WWW says about them is true. Then I remember the incredible pain they caused her, and I can barely be civil to them. Because she is so sweet and sensitive, they inflicted emotionaly scars that will take her years to recover form. I know that she has so many problems because of them. They may have changed, I don’t know. My BF in the WWW thinks they’re still mean to her, but of course she doesn’t trust them and would think that. I do know that even if they have changed they would have to come up to me and her and apologize for what they did to her before I will be able to liek them. I don’t think that wil ever happen. I think I should forgive them, but number 1 it’s not my greivance to forgive, and number 2 I don’t know if they’ve really changed. If they demonstrate that they are different people from the one’s who hurt BF in the WWW, I think I wil forgive them, but as it stands I can’t get the thought out of my head that she has “issues” all over the place with trust and self-esteem because of them, and much of was caused exclusively by them. I literally love her like a sister, and I love her more than myself, so sometimes I could kill those girls.
ok, Phoenix rant time!
1) I am not allowed to act in musical. this REALLY bugs me! all my friends act in these musicals the JCC puts up (no regular plays, I can’t act for my life) but I am really good at singing, or so people tell me. Unfortuantely, I am outshone my my sister, the little musical prodigy, and anyway my parents say it isn’t modest for me to sing in front of boys. I don’t have any problems with this theory, because I agree, but still, my voice just got good the YEAR I stopped singing! how annoying is that? I’m a soprano, too, and the play needs one… *sigh* oh, well. Plus I’m always humming in class and my teachers yell at me. but that was unrelated.
2) School trouble: I wrote a paper for History last week which was supposed to be two pages long and I made it five, and I spent 3 hours at the library researching it from reference books the size of Paris, France, and taking a zillion pages of notes in miniscule handwriting untill my fingers are actually FALLING OFF, and then I get home and write it, and then I go to school and find out that since I used an “outdated” method of making a bibliography (it is now supposed to be called a “work cited page” and the sections seperated with periods instead of commas), even though to make it I looked through my mom’s editing books (she is a private professional editor and used to work for a major law firm) I had to do it all over again. And I have an extracurricular activity called Torah Bowl, where we were supposed to be studying two books of Old Testament and then, suprise suprise, a week before the meet we found out we were supposed to be learning three books. Also, we don’t have a coach. the boys’ team has a full time coach who is also supposed to be coaching us, but he isn’t, so we always lose and the boys always win. plus, at the end of the season we go to Dougies for a treat, and there is ONE GROUP OF BOYS, like, say, 8 people, who don’t want to eat with girls b/c they say it’s immodest, and so the moderators make us girls (all 40 or so of us!) go eat in a warehouse/bar across the street that is disgusting and smells like cigar smoke. And guess where all the moderators eat! Not with us! I think that, if those boys have a problem with us, THEY should go eat in the warehouse! how sexist is that?
plus, I have been doing four chapters of the book Shoftim a day for the upcoming BJE exams, in Hebrew, which wouldn’t be so hard exept it’s archaic Hebrew. Sort of like reading the pink bunny wars article two month’s Muse ago for an entire book! Argh. Plus, my parents do not notice! this wouldn’t be so hard if they did, because, I admit it, I live for approval. But my dad is an Egyptologist/teacher/computer programmer/ Rabbi/ lots of other stuff, and my mom is a professional author/ editor and just happens to be a genius, so, well, they kinda think I should be immediately a supergenius like them. It’s annoying, that’s what it is. they’re like, “Oh, Tree, my students study in every spare moment they have, so should you…” even though thier students are high school seniors! it really bugs me.
Oooh, I hate bibliographies. I say, as long as it’s clear who you’re crediting, what matter is format. Same thing with citations. I hate National History Day…
Oooooooh…. Bibiliographies. Don’t get me started. Pointless. Annoying. Useless. Overinformative. I mean, come on. All you need to find a book is the title and author, not the editor, publication date, publisher, CITY of publisher (I mean, why do you need to know whwere the darn publisher is!?!), and MORE?
Also, they are simply an invention to bring down your grade to half of what is would have been otherwise.
hear hear!
agreed!!!!
Haha, “hear hear” always reminds me of that line from the Sword in the Stone- “the beer is never clear near here dear”… I think it’s after Wart says “What did you do with Wot?” or something like that, after the Robin Hood episode..
I hate having to cite within the text. I like to write in the manner I speak, and sometimes that doesn’t involve definite endings to sentences. It for sure doesn’t involve saying open parentheses doc a pg 26 close parentheses.
I agree. I think I ‘ll speak that way in protest of citing. My grade for the rough draft was very low, since it was too much like a “narrative” Pssh. I don’t listen to my Language Arts teacher becayuse he doesn’t know what he’s doing. H egrades on structure, not creativity. That’s like trying to interpret a poem: it takes away from what it means.
Okay, I’ll stop my incohernet blathering open parentheses book title pg 50 close parentheses.
I’ve just been looking through “who’s here” and I realized that everyone has mildly goofy, Muse-ish names, like Chewy_as_a_granolabar, George of the Jungle, and Sheep, or just moderately normal to normal names, like Ebeth, Axa, Lizzie, and Phoebe, or Elvish-fantasy-style names like Elasse~Adael and Celebrian and Zyviva, but I’m the only one with a name like… well, you know what I’m talking about. I feel so alone!
I wonder if I should change my name.
Oh yeah, and Adon Moreh: please put in a hitchhiker’s guide to the Blog! PLEASE?
My name is actually three letters from my real name:
Alexandra. Very imaginative, I know. Apparently, these a soccer company of some sort called Axa( thr uniforms in Bend It Like Beckham had it on them I think). The name is unrelated.
Phoenix is a good name! You should keep it because it’s original, and such.
Phoenix (comment 257),
I’ll be happy to start an “HG2MB” topic heading if you all will agree to write the Guide itself. Once we have enough material, maybe the Guide could replace the current “Hints” page. (The list of smilies would be an essential part of it, of course.) Sound good?
–Robert
By the way, I have no idea why the time stamp for MuseBlog posts is an hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time. The Web host’s server must be on Nova Scotia time or something. That’s odd, because the company is based in Vancouver. I’ll let you know if I find out what’s going on.
no phoenix i love your name!
on second thought if you really don’t want it i’ll have it!
jk you keep it. it’s cool.
erm lizzie? what are you talking about?
HG2MB sounds cool.
It’d be way off for me anyways, living on the west coast. Always behind….
Your not alone Phoenix. My name means bug in Japanese. Not very Muse like.
And Chewy doesn’t sound very musish. Which reminds me, I out to bug her and tell here to post…….:smile:
Wall Mart was playing Jingle bell rock.
You think life is hard for u Axa. I live in the middle of the Pacific.
thanks for the moral support, guys!
Yay for Phoenix!! And who says randomrohanfreak is a MuseBloggish name? Why are we not posting this on the Things We
LHCFThat Really Get On Our Nerves thread?I’m running for class prez next year! My slogan is going to be: “Don’t be ignorant, vote for Grant!”
nice. uh… didn’t you already post that? Anyway, good luck! does your student council actually do stuff? ’cause ours dosen’t.
… Is that supposed to rhyme?
*coughvoteformarvincough*
lol! jk.
what is a musebloggish name anyway? does anybody on the museblog actually have a musebloggish name? what is the definition of a musebloggish name?
oh and randomrohanfreak, this would be the november whatnot thread. just so you know.
i have an hour to totally bs my hw cuz my mom is now saying that i can only stay up until 11 doing it cuz apparently being awake in skool is now more important than hw. wow! I never would have thought of that!!! how amazing!!! yes that would be sarcasm. seriously though the teacher’s complain that we’re never awake well how about not giving us so much homework? would that really be so hard?
oh yeah and I’ve found a way to preserve my sanity. I found a piece of hopelessly tangled string that i’ve attached the meaning of my life to. So now I’ve dedicated my life to untangling that string and if it’s not untangled by the day I die, then we can just figure the world’s a mess. It’s a very productive thing to do, untangle string. Very interesting too. Definitely keeps me from boredom. Now that we’ve got the stick guys and all.
ok the stick guys-this is a stage left crew inside joke. Our play is the odd couple, so we have a window with a mini-New York outside it. like skyscrapers and stuff. So Matt found a couple of those pipe cleaners and made little stick figures out of them, and we put them so that one has jumped out the window and the other’s leaning over grabbing him and stopping him from falling. No suicide for you today! anyway we put it just below the window so you can’t see it unless you’re backstage. just an interesting insight into our complete insanity.
i g2g do hw now, later peoples.
I vote Grant! Even though I don’t go to your school. Oh well. I vote for Grant anyway because he’s probably a better candidate than anyone else out there. Do any of them read Muse? Didn’t think so.
yeah, that was the plot of Mostly Harmless, remember, Grant, Pheebs, ChinTsu? to replace the world leaders with Musers!
Ummm… what would a MuseBloggish name be? I dunno. Something creative and a bit funny or weird or tied into Muse or an interest common to a lot of MuseBloggers, like LOTR. (Assuming, of course, that most MuseBloggers like LOTR.)
Is randomrohanfreak a MuseBloggish name? I would say yes, sort of, according to this defintion. Of course, the best definition of a MuseBloggish name would have to be:
“A name used on the MuseBlog.”
Hi, all. I feel depressed. I want to join Pheeb’s RPG but know better than to ask. I have BJE exams on Sunday. I want to know who Yi Min is. I am still writing my next Steel story. I went on to a Warriors sight. it said my name is Rainpelt of Windclan. I do not like Windclan. I like ThunderClan. So I am from ThunderClan because I say so. Hah. I have the songs from Newsies stuck in my head and I hate them. I think I will do something random right now. Actually I won’t because I am too lazy to getup now. My brother just told me to get off the computer but too bad for him. I do not feel well. Blah blah blah.
Hi, all you big scary people! I’m friends with randomrohanfreak, but I’m not her secret identity. I don’t have email (grr) so I use her address. I love Muse, hate pink bunnies, and think Pwt is a boy. Unlike randomrohanfreak, (henceforth known to me as RRF because most people online call her that anyway), I’m really really really bad at writing. (Although RRF says she’s not that good…) I turn 14 on Jan. 13. (YAAAAAY!) That’s it about me. What? I’m boring!
Pheonix, have you ever seen the X-Men 2 movie? when Jean Grey is in the water, you see some thing. Her symbol is pheonix rising. Don’t change your name! Please?
Yah! Boycott Wal-Mart products!
My band has it’s concert on Thursday and we are so not ready for it. Especially on Blue Mountian Saga. You know, I reall like it when people expand more on my topics. That makes me feel like people actually read what I write. I get enough ignoring at school.
I’m friends with this one girl. Even when she is in certian peoples path, is most definatly talking to that person, they walk right by, pretending like she isn’t even there! That makes me so so mad. I don’t know why somebody would do such a thing. It’s mean and rude and I highly despise people who are like that.
I don’t hate people, except for Sam Walton. *shudders*

I would love to know if anybody knew a thing about the ballad of Young Tam Lin.
I feel lonely. I don’t know anybody besides me in Minnesota who subscribes to Muse, much less, go to my school.
Oh well. Happy days (are yours and mine). Now……On to that Saint report that is due tomorrow. Unfortunately, there are no St. Rachel s so I have to pick osmebody else which is a bother. igualmente mis amigos
Or not… maybe i moniter this site day and night because I hve nothing better to do.
Oh Monsieur Robert and Madamoiselle Rosanne, if you see somebody that has the same e-mail address, it is one of two things, or maybe both, who knows
1) Somebody has the same e-mail address and my parents and they are on the MuseBlog
or
2) My sister now does this. I have seen her sneaking around this web site. So just in case she says something, we do live in the same house hold and I know how to use it! *e-vile laugh*
oh I forgot! I’m going to paint part of my wall with blackboard paint! Then, when it’s finished, I’m going to have a black board party! I would invite you all, but it would be kind of hard for you people to get to my house. So my genious self thought that we could have a black board party here! First I have to get my pig sty cleaned up aka bedroom.
I’ll let everybody know when it’s going to be and i expect nobody has ever been to a black board party before so this will be a first!!!!!!!
Oh boy! The Winter Carnival is soon! Do you have a winter carnival in Chicago?
ilovebonjoviilovebonjoviilovebonjoviilovebinjoviilovebonjoviilovebonjoviilovebonjoviilovebonjoviilovebonjoviilovebonjoviilovebonjovi
I really like 80’s music such as, oh, I don’t know, Bon Jovi and U2 and ACDC and Wang Chung and ChumbaWumba and Rick Springfield and more and Bon Jovi and Bon Jovi and Bon Jovi and Bon Jovi and i can just remember one more…. oh yeah……
Bon Jovi
yes, I have seen X-2. Welcome, A~C, to our humble Blog!
at the risk of promoting a ranting screaming fit about what a poor deprived child I am, what the heck is bon jovi??
Ebeth, you must be really out of touch. No offence, I’m pretty out of touch too, but you’ve never heard of Bon Jovi?!?!! That’s just a little bit sad.
I will never understand why people hate Wal-Mart so much!!!! I mean, I understand not liking their products, but boycotting them? I’ve heard all the reasons, and none of them are very compelling. People say that they use sweatshops. First off, I’m not sure that’s really true, and second nobody forces the people in the sweatshops to work there!!!! If they didn’t have that job, they would either have a worse one or none at all, so I don’t think they mind working where and how they do, so why should we be all upset about it? I love Wal-Mart. I do all my shopping there.
I know, it’s pretty sad. Actually i probably have heard of them somewhere but I don’t remember random stuff like that i’m just like nod smile move on.
there’s no wal mart near me anyway so i don’t have to decide. hahaha! anything to get out of *Gasp* an actual decision to make?? oh the terror.
i apologise for the random sarcasm (and the britishness of the apology-yes i am allowed to do that, my dad’s british). I don’t even know what i’m being sarcastic about. if i am being sarcastic. it seemed like sarcasm. oh vell. my brain is totally not working right now (overdose of mindless history note-taking about conservatives and the congress of vienna and all the random stuff i really don’t care about until i need it which might happen and might not so yeah whatever i’m not even sure what i’m saying anymore. soooo bleeeping tiiiiiiired. I shall be going now. wait i have a parentheses. i feel proud for remembering. ok bye then people)
It’s frigid outside! It’s at least 15 degrees colder than it was this morning, and there are snow flurries. Not that this means I’ll be getting a snow day; my worthless school is notorious for not giving many snow days. How about everyone else?
hee hee– where I live, it’s 67!
It’s freezing here. In the fifties. That may not seem like much, but it’s very unusual in Louisiana.
In Chicago, it snowed today. And stuck. A-C and I celebrated online (she lives in the actual city, not the suburbs like me) by throwing virtual snowballs at each other via IM.
O
Got you! HA!
Actually, there isn’t enough snow for snowballing. Oh well.
There is no Wal-Mart nearby that I go to. I find sweatshop-produced goods disgusting, and try not to buy them anyway, although it’s not easy. I think Americans should make more of an effort to not buy things made in sweatshops in poor countries. We have the purchasing power, and we should use it to try and improve conditions for poor workers desperate for a job. Give them better ones.
the problem is, most americans don’t even really know what was made in a sweatshop and what wasn’t. sometimes they have vague ideas-“um. i think wal mart might do that. i dunno…” but mostly i think they’re clueless.
not that i can really talk cuz i’m sadly underinformed too. except i don’t even shop. i have a disease that prevents me. it’s called not-really-caring-to-spend-my-time-among-clothes-and-grocerys-and-other-things-that-are-absolute-necessities-that-nobody-really-needs-and-have-to-sift-through-all-the-stupid-ads-that-serve-no-purpose-to-look-at-a-bunch-of-stuff-i-would-never-buy-and-possibly-a-couple-of-things-i-would.
haha we listened to bits of the les mis soundtrack in history. it rocked. obviously. featherstone was like “wow when i hear that i just want to go out and start a revolution!” and we just stared at him like “dude it is 9:00 in the morning and i was up last night until 2 doing hw i am falling asleep in my chair and you like your coffee too much”
but it was a totally awesome class anyway. hah. listen to music. woohoo go us!!
I wish it was snowing here! I likez snow! and it’s better than rain.
I’m happy because I discovered my school computer doesn’t block MuseBlog! YAY!!
Wow, even colder today. We got a dusting of some real snow.
my skool doesn’t either but nolan does. boo! actually that was only once. but he’s been getting like majorly do-your-hw-or-leave cuz there’s a bunch of people who just go there and talk. can’t blame them, but still.
opening night male version!! yay!
oh yeah and we have an xtra credit thing w/lamuth called “stream of conciosness” which is basically what i do on here-write down any random thought that comes into your head. except it has to be skool appropriate and somehow related to the play. otherwise you can just think it, not write it down. i’m gonna do that tonight. maybe. ish.
ok GAPA, I know you’re here.
Peek-a-boo, where are you?
SHOW YOURSELF!!! there’s nobody else here!
pwease? *puppy dog eyes*
*gasp* never mind I guess you’ve left. I’m all aloooooone…
Who’s GAPA?
The Great and Powerful Administrator(s): me and/or Rosanne. As in “I am Oz, the Great and Powerful.”
GAPA would be Senor Administrador.
We seem to like coming up with names for Los Administradores. (And that one would be mine.)
O
snowball for A-C because she’s online.
It was -7 dergees Celsius (yes, I am fond of metric) today. Brr.
OOO
Triple snowballs for RRF. She’s online, after all. Come out, come out, wherever you are!
*pulls out snowball machine gun made of ice*
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Take THAT, everyone! I got snowed on, and you didn’t (with the exception of USECGO and A-C)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
300th post! Whoo-hoo! YAY!
Snowball party!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
November what not.
What not?
Want not, waste not.
Win not, won not.
November what not.
Random Burst of Craziness
I like the rain! I love thunder storms especially, and wet, green-leaf summer rain, and late Spring sun showers.
***To be read like a hillbilly***
MR ducks.
MR not ducts
OSAR. CD EDBD wangs!
YLB! MR ducks!
I’ll translate that post to phonetic Hillbilly, and then to English.
‘Em are ducks.
‘Em are not ducks.
Oh yes they are. See the eedie-biddie wings!
(I think this was supposed to be “LIB”) ‘Ell, I be! ‘Em are ducks!
Those are ducks.
No they aren’t
Oh yes they are. See the little wings!
Well, I can’t believe it! Those are ducks!
YLB= “Why I’ll be”
So, today I bombed my geometry test. So much for my 100 average.
Seriously. I mean, I didn’t know how to do the proof so I took 21 steps to get to what we were supposed to prove and skipped some stuff because I couldn’t figure out how to get what I wanted to get congruent congruent and the proof was worth 6 points out of the 83-point test and I think I missed another problem and I didn’t have time to check any of it and I think that overall I did rotten. But I did manage to keep from crying at school…
See, I think Wal-Mart is bad.. it squeezes local mom-and-pop businesses out, basically creating a monopoly for one thing.. additionally, it pays its workers less than a living wage, and doesn’t provide health care. It uses over-sea labor in sweatshops with horrible working conditions, discriminates against female employees, breaks child labor laws, forces some workers to work overtime without compensation, and overall exploits the workers. It also isn’t environmentally responsible. Just because the workers could be working somewhere worse is no excuse for not providing decent, humane working conditions.
Jeat Et?
Hillbilly—>English translation
Did you eat anytime recently?
hah! rock on hillbillies!!!
whee just got back from another lovely show. I am proud to say that HARDLY ANYTHING WENT WRONG!!! and WHAT DID GO WRONG WAS STUFF I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN!! So HAH! yes! such a lovely change…
they played beatles again at the beginning. not the fool on the hill though
i love that song. so then matt and i were having an argument about what cd it was (crew has so many random arguments. basically cuz we don’t know what else to do. we get bored.) he said it was beatles 1 but it WASN’T! cuz they played hello little girl so i think it was the bbc.
wow this is all very random.
oh yeah and we decided we’re all gonna wear black ties at the curtain call on closing cuz A-it’s cool B-it’s closing night so hellsclaw can’t kill us and C-We learned how to tie ties today.
random rambling rants rock ridiculously realistically.
yay alliteration! yes that too was random. deal. mwahaha evil me. evil random me.
meh. blahblah. be kind, i still have more hw to do. actually it’s extra credit but i need extra credit in english cuz nobody understands her grading system. she makes it purposely confusing so she can get us all afraid enough to do extra credit. attack of the evil teacher.
Right, all, a brief report on my doings. I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire tonight with the gang from the D.C. Science Writers’ Association. It was great. Well, except for Fleur Delacour, who was utterly wet and a weed. I’m the only one who understands her, I’m afraid. That’s all I’ll say for now.
We DCSWANs do have fun. Last week we went to the Austrian embassy to hear a talk by Austria’s “Scientist of the Year.” At the reception I ran into Ivars Peterson, who writes Muse‘s math column, and we talked about math and Muse until some other people came along and started chatting us up separately. I love being a science writer-editor, and I love being in Washington.
Heehee we get to skip class of the 16th to watch HP. It didn’t snow her. But it rains, ALOT. *hides from ice gun*
I think Hello Little Girl is in the anthology.. I’m not sure though..
It doesn’t snow or rain here, but it’s finally gotten cold, as of last Monday…
I think that Hermione being blonde is horrible, and Rupert Grint looks like a big, blundering giant!!!!! Well, at least their voices are pretty much the same and nobody’s sprouting beards and mustaches yet, so…
well, I really like the creatures. It’s very visual. Fluer Decor is wierd. I expected her to be a bit less…well I don’t know. It’s great for visual only, I’ll say. My local newspaper gave it tfour kokopellis. (Our mascot is Kokopelli I forgot to tell you!!!) I think it only deserves three. Well anyway….
No insult, but that Fleur Delacour actor could pass as a pig with those big, flaring nostrils. And to think that Bill actually marries such a wierd person. *shudder, shudder*
It was Bill, right?
I haven’t seen it yet. We were going to have a theater thing to go see it but nobody told the crew. they were supposed to but they didn’t. hmmph.
oh yeah and coleslaw’s being soo evil to the female cast! Today they just finished their closing night-at the same time as the OSU/UofM game. the audience was really sad. seriously, he’ll do anything to get his own show ahead. the claw of hell hath struck. i mean come on, there’s no way he could have missed the game being today. he scheduled it at the same exact time and he lives in OHIO!!! even I knew about it and i just moved! i don’t even care about football that much!
we saw a little clip thingy in english cuz lamuth felt like being nice. dan radcliffe talked 3/4ths of the time. i really don’t like him. sorry to any rabid dan fans but i think he’s kind of an idiot, and not hott at all unless he has a major makeup job. everybody rambles on about him all the time. grr.
omg your mascot is koko??!!! how cool is that!!! where do you live cuz i’m moving there right now!!!
hermione’s blonde???!!! wow. observe extreme disappointment, disgust, and despair on my face.
has anyone besides me noticed that livejournal is very slow and erratic today?
also, I just played badmitten with my mom. It was fun.
Yes, LiveJournal is acting weird today. I never use mine, but I still use it for icons resources ans such…
I saw The Goblet of Fire at the midnight show, and I loved it. I was practically bawling when Harry brought Cedric back. Personally, i thought all the actors/actresses were fabulous, though it was rather obvious Cho was, in fact, not Chinese. But oh well. Hermione isn’t really blonde, she just has highlites. I think. I was too busy loving Daniel Radcliffe to notice. Bow to the girl of fan.
Ew. Hermione’s blonde? Yick. I haven’t seen it yet. I’m not obsessed.
This is to annoy my Orlando Bloom and Harry Potter-obsessed friend: Who here thinks that Orlando Bloom should play Umbridge in OOTP?
Axa, does some body loooove Daniel Radcliffe with his new and improved shag cut and deep chocolaty *hem hem* voice?
*snicker snicker*
Shall I begin that obnoxious chant?
Axa and Daniel sitting in a tree.
lol! jk.
Okay, okay, peoples
I may have not made it in the mag….
BUT I MADE IT ON THE INTERNET!!!!!
Go here: http://www.cricketmag.com/activity_display.asp?id=359
a look for the Fogun Fish.
(and there may be a little revealing of my real name, but I am still Kitkat, peoples!!!!)
AHAHAHA! Ha…ha…ha… :dies:
Yeah. Just yeah.
Didja miss me?!
Anyway, today I get to go see HP4 in an IMAX theatre! I know what you’re thinkin’; crazy awesome, man! Yahoo! I’m wearing my Hogwarts Badge to show my support. Shazam, y’all!
‘Ello, all. Cho is not Chinese. Cho (in the book) is Japanese, or else Rowling didn’t look it up. Chang is a common Chinese name, but Cho means butterfly in Chinese. Phoenix the launguage freak does it again!
“Hello Little Girl”? isn’t that a song in the play “Into The Woods”? with the wolf and red riding hood?
hello little girl, whats the rush? the birds are singing sweetly… you’ll miss the birds completely… take your time!
I am feeling miserable. I just took my BJE’s, for high school admission, and I knew every question, but since I work slooooowly I didn’t finish and I think I failed.
KitKat, your name is almost exactly mine, except with an “i”. I loff that fish too. Yes, loff.
I’ve need to see HP4 about five more times.
hey. love the punk fish.
hello little girl might be that or something else or a type of cheese or whatever but the one I’m talking about is the song by the beatles. ok here are the words…
Hello little girl
Hello little girl
Hello little girl
When I see you everydayI say,
“Mm mm hello little girl”
When you’re passing on your way I say,
“Mm mm hello little girl”
When I see you passing by I cry,
“Mm mm hello little girl”
When I try to catch your eye I cry,
“Mm mm hello little girl”
I send you flowers but you don’t care
You never seem to see me standing there
I often wonder what you’re thinking of
I hope it’s me and love love love
So I hope there’ll come a day
When you’ll say, “Mm you’re my little girl”
It’s not the first time that it’s happened to me,
It’s been a long lonely time
And it’s funny funny to see that I’m about to lose my mind mind mind
So I hope there’ll come a day
When you say, “Mm mm
You’re my little girl, mm mm mm
You’re my little girl, mm mm mm”
You’re my little girl, oh yeah
You’re my little girl
Do do do do do
that should be on the music thread shouldn’t it?
arrgh. thread crossings. wait for the light please. green….yellow…red. red…..red….red….green! green….yellow….red….red….red…green! cross here please! DON’T WALK…..WALK. honk honk…SLOW!!! Left turn only….green….yellow….red….red….red….green!
excuse the insanity.
oops, I mean CHo is butterfly in Japanese.
omg hahaha funny story. ok we went to bupa for the crew dinner, for the play, and they had random volunteer parents bring us back. So Luke’s mom brought Luke, Matt, Sarah, Monica, and I all back from bupa(which is downtown) and we were in the car (it was a van) w/Luke’s mom in the front, and then Luke and Matt in the back, and then Sarah, monica, and i in the back back. So we (the girls) were all talking about how being a girl sucks if you’re old enough which we were calling The Plague and we were talking and Matt was totally not listening, he was talking to Luke. Then Sarah goes, “Yeah The Plague is really terrible” and Matt goes “Of course the plague was terrible!” and we started cracking up it was sooooo funny!!! and matt totally didn’t get it for about ten minutes. i know he’s a guy and all but still it’s hilarious. is this blog-appropriate? I’s hoping so. anyhoo we were like “No…THE PLAGUE. not the plague” and he was just sitting there clueless. and then he finally got it. he was like “ok if you’re talking about what I think you’re talking about then I’m disturbed” and monica’s like “yeah I think he finally got it”
random girly story. bupa was awesome though. Sarah, Monica, Matt, Luke, Luke’s mom, and Ebeth the lurker were all sitting there playing blackjack before dinner. mwahaha. fun stuff.
and we had FETTUCCINI ALFREDO AND TIRAMISU!!!!!!! yaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!
sry for the rantings people, ebeth had fun.
It just bothers me that casters think there’s no difference between someone who’s Chinese or Vietnamese or Japanese or Korean. I’m half Japanese, and it bugs me to no end when I’m asked “What’s the difference between China and Japan?”
RARGH!!!!!!!!
Half Chinese, Axa. Same.Grr.
Can we have a Q&A thread?
Um, I don’t want to sond insensitive here, so I’ll be careful. I understand that Chinese and Japanese are different ethnicities with different cultures. I’m just wondering what the physical differences are. I don’t want to be mean, but no one ever told me, so I don’t know. I can understand how it would bother you when people don’t even seem to care.
Phoenix (#322),
I think that despite her first name, Cho is meant to be Cantonese (Chinese). The actress Katie Leung is of Cantonese descent. Wikipedia discusses both of Cho Chang’s names in its very thorough article about her.
RRF (#329),
What? And put our Muse column out of business?
–Robert
aaaaaaaaah!!! wikipedia!! run away!!!!!!!! *clicks on link because she has nothing better to do *coughhypocritecough*
You won’t believe this, but today some loser tried to tell me I wasn’t Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman. I smote him verbally, leaving him reeling in the midst of his stupidity.
*gasp* WHAT?? WHO WAS IT??!!!!
DIE FIEND!!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sry i feel like killing somebody today. y’know what i mean? *coughlbcough*
go USEC!!!!
who here does NationStates? I have 2 new nations, Gillieth and Euaria, but I like Gillieth more.
yesterday I really felt like hitting someone. So I did, one of my friends who was sitting across from me on the bus, and he got mad, which he had no right to do as I expressly told him I felt like hitting someone so he shouldn’t sit there. It was ok, though. Had a Physics test, I think I did ok but there were, like, 7 or 8 essays on it and we only had 45 minutes so I ran out of time and couldn’t do the ten-point extra credit which I knew how to do. grr.
I still want to punch somebody. I will punch your prosecuter, Grant. *punches virtually* ahh, much better.
Well, it’s hard to explain.( #330) It’s mostly face structure, I think, but I can just tell. I understand when people get the characters and stuff confused, but when someone says” What’s the difference?” I get annoyed. I’m glad you can see the difference though MontgomeryGurl , there should be more people like you. XD
I’m half Japanese.. I think it’s mostly the face- overall Japanese tend to have longer and Chinese tend to have rounder or something like that? I don’t know..
And I get really annoyed at that too.. I mean, the difference is that it’s a whole different country and culture and LANGUAGE and everything (although the Japanese did borrow a lot of the culture, etc from the CHinese).. I suppose it would be sort of like asking, “What’s the difference between British and French”…
I know! Like my friend always says when someone asks me “A couple thousand miles, to start.”
I’m Cherokee Indian and Italian and German, and Checkeslovakian and Norwiegan and Irish and Scottish and Welsh and Israeli (duh) and basically a sprinkling of everything. I don’t look like any particular nation, just a sprinkle from each.
or like north+south in the U.S. non-americans are all like “there’s no diff! same thing!” but they’re waaaaay different.
i like that one axa. gotta remember that.
Irish! rock on! I’m half english, and then like a quarter Irish and then bits of German and French Canadian and i think Scottish too. yeah i’m majorly brit. woohoo go me.
I like particular nations. i’m just groupy like that. does anybody have a clue what i mean? like nationalism and all that stuff. or musishness, or whatever else.
I’m not sure of my heritage, but I’m sure it’s a completely uninteresting European one. I mean, physically my skin is really white, my hair is red, and my eyes are green. There’s nothing there to indicated anything but European!!!! And it’s the same way with the whole rest of my family. All I know for sure about where I come from is that my great-grandmother was Scotch-Irish. So that translates to 1/16 of each in me. That’s all I know for sure.
I’m Scotch-Irish, British, Welsh, regular Scottish, Swedish, Viking (I’m pretty sure but don’t have proof that a few of my Swedish ancestors were Vikings), possibly Mongolian (I thought I was but it’s been called into controversy lately), and Chinese.
Normally, I think that Chinese people have a rounder face structure, like Axa (336) said, but we also tend to be… I dunno… different. If you see a lot of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and other East Asian people, you sort of learn how to tell them apart. There aren’t many physical differences. Most of our differences are cultural. I love Asian culture because we never seem to study it in school and I try to find out all I can about it. I really reccommend Larry Gonick’s (yes, the Lord of the Muses) Cartoon History of the Universe volumes II and III if you want to learn more, because it’s cool.
Enough with the Asianness blurb. I don’t want the Q&A thread to replace the column, just to have it be a place for us to ask questions that are really bugging us and have other Musers and possibly Administradores answer them.
I’m about as white as you can get. Anglo-Saxon, bit of Irish.
I’m totally European, too. British, Irish, Scottish, German, French, and probably other stuff I don’t know about.
is it ethical to suck people’s blood? Some of those titchy little obnoxious sixth graders in my school really deserve it.
Only if you’re a leech or a tick, Phoenix dear.
Leeches freak me out though- I don’t know why. I guess it’s their lack of a head and the way they move..
I also used to be afraid of spiders and mushrooms (I don’t know why, they can’t move, but I was afraid of them- maybe I thought they’d jump out and poison me) but I’m better now.
I’m still afraid of crowds, though.
Argh- I just got bitten by fire ants. Including one on my wrist. I hate those ants…
And I need to write a “third person autobiography” for English in the style of Thurber and it has to be a satire.. argh. My life: First I was born. I grew up. I slept. I ate. I went to school. I got bitten by fire ants. The End.
what about vampires? (mwahahaha)
You know, everyone, I would like to know who Yi Min Chang is. It initiates curiosity in Phoenix’s nosy brain.
ok i have an announcement!!!!!!!!! Kitten emailed me and said if she goes onto this site her mom will ground her. that’s why she wasn’t on here!!!!!! We were thinking that if all you musers post a lot of posts that say, “We miss you Kitten!!” , I could copy+paste them in an email and send them to her where she could show her mom and then her mom might let her on!!!! plllllleeeeaaaasssee help!!!!!!
Why will she ground her? This is an awesome sight, and it’s tantamount to child abuse to keep a Muse-loving child off of here!!!! Anway……
KITTEN, WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!! WE DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU!!!!!! OH HY GOSH, IT’S ALL A MESS BECAUSE YOU’RE GONE!!!!!! WAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the following message is from kitten:
kitten says:
i miss you too, mongomerygurl!!!
i’m trying to get my mom to change her mind…so far, so bad
she screamed at me yesterday for brining it up…think hapy thoughts!!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzoom!!!
kitten
i am officially a messanger girl…
Why won’t she let you on here? Has she given a reason, or is it just random? Randomness is generally a good thing, but not when banning web-sites. Anyway, I was just wondering.
She can e-mail me directly (robert at musefanpage.com) if she wants reassurance that we’re all sane, sensible individuals. Or maybe not…
Are you refering to Kitten, or her mother? I have a suspision it’s the latter, because the former has already been exposed to our craziness. Just so everyone knows what we’re talking about.
I meant Kitten’s mother. That goes for anybody else’s parents who might have questions about the blog, too: just send them my way. Muse parents tend to be interesting and reasonable people, in my experience. Maybe I can sign them up for NationStates.
No one is here!!!! Where is everyone? Why does no one come here when I’m on? Will someone please get on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, MG! We’re all out frolicking in the fresh air and sunshine.
Fresh air and sunshine are highly overrated. I have a really bad cold, and I don’t feel like doing much of anything. I just want to do something that doesn’t require much physical activity. It’s really a shame that I feel so nasty today, because it’s the day of our big Thanksgiving meal.
Grrrrrrr, everyone is still frolicking!!!!!! When will it end? I’m the only one who’s posted all day, and it’s about to get annoying. I understand that some people are gone for Thanksgivin, but surely everyone on the entire blog isn’t busy!!!
Maybe they’re all over on NationStates starting wars or something.
Or maybe ourm evil overlord brother stole the computer because he “needs it for college applications” but is actually just on Xanga.
Grr.
I checked all over Nation States. And you can’t start wars, you just have a random nation that does random stuff and is randomly ranked according to random criteria, and you can randomly talk to people in your random domain and vote randomly on random bills in the random UN. That’s basically what you do.
MG, dear, some of us actually have lives away from the computer.
I know, it’s a shock.
Anyway, I had a nice session at the ice rink- my back crossovers are actually starting to be good, I think I’m just about ready to pass Beta, just finished having a piece of pie and reading “Cat among the Pigeons” by Agatha Christie, will go practice sometime soon, and have had a fairly nice day overall.
Modnar is random spelled backwards. Tsuj a modnar thguoht haht deppop otni ym daeh!
No way Lizzie!!!!! You don’t live on the computer?!? My innocence is completely and totally shattered by this horrifying statemetn made by you. I think I’m going to cry. Where do you live, then? I guess I normally have other things to do, but we haven’t had debate in a long time, so I’ve kind of gotten lazy about that, and now I don’t have anything to do that’s not computer related.

HOW DO I GET INTO LAND OF MUSE?
I miss you, kitten! I miss all those zzzzzzzzzzzzoom!s. The blog isn’t the same without ’em. (For your mom) We’re all perfectly sane, normal people on here. Well, not sane or normal, perhaps, but harmless. Well, not harmless, but certainly not dangerous. (To kittem again) RETURN TO US!!
Well, hardly anyone posted today. I’m going to bed now, even though it’s only 8:30. I didn’t get enough sleep last night because my cold kept me awake, I ate too much for supper, and my cold has drained all the life that might have remained in me out. Goodnight people!!!!!
Unlike the rest of your strange people, I live on my computer. If it was a person, I would enslave-er- befriend it. Yes that’s what I meant. My brother finally left, but the curse that is the pacific time zone has taken it’s toll. Sigh.
Speaking of computers and brothers, my brother’s hobby is to continually build his computer over and over again. He’s on his 4th time, I think, and he’s purchased a completely aluminum case for it. Really shiny, unbelievably light. The first time he built a computer he overclocked it (made it go faster) so much that it fried itself.
i’m a very neutral person……
I guess the MAPs are out frolicking again. That is so annoying.
My grandparents were here yesterday and Friday. My mom, grandmother, and I went shopping Friday (yes, big mistake, but we only stayed out for an hour or two). Well, I hate to shop, and I only went to get a leather jacket. After I got the jacket, I was ready to go. This surprised my grandmother, who loves to shop and can’t imagine anybody not liking it. She went on and on and on about how funny it was that I didn’t like to shop and saying stuff like, “Amanda doesn’t want to go shopping with us later,” “Jack (my grandfather), Amanda got her jacket and then she was ready to go!!!” She thought it was soooooo funny, and was sooooooo shocked, even though my mom has been telling her for years I don’t like to shop.
My grandmother found it amazing that I did chat-rooms. I think it’s because she doesn’t have internet. “So you post that, and then they all can read it?” “Yes, Memar.” “Well, who do you talk to ?” ” I don’t know them outside of the blog” “Oh. Well, what are their names?” “I only know their screen names.” “Oh. What’s your screen name?” and so on. Eventually she asked me what I talked to you guys about. “Oh, just whatever we want to.” “Why don’t you ask them if they like shopping?” “Memar, we talk about other things.” “Well, it wouldn’t hurt to ask.” Apparently she didn’t get that we might have more interesting things to discuss than whether we like shopping.
She was kind of shocked that I do chat-rooms, though she didn’t say so right out. “Jack, you know all those stories about what goes on in chat-rooms, and here Amanda does them!!” That last comment wasn’t as mean as it sounded, it was just thoughtless. Eventually she said, “well, I guess there’s nothing wrong with it, just as long as you don’t try to meet someone from there.” Hellooooo, does she think I’m an idiot, or what? The reason she said that is she’s heard all these stories about kids who ran off with perverts they met online, and that’s what she thinks of when she thinks of chat-rooms. I’m not the type of kid who would ever dream of doing something like that!!!! I told her I couldn’t, even if I wanted to, because no one lives near me, and I don’t know anyone’s exact location.
Man. I love my grandmother, but gosh it’s hard to be around her!!!! She never stops talking, and so often she says stuff that’s just plain rude. The funny thing is, she would never intentionally hurt my feelings for the world, she does by accident, or thoughtlessnes, because she just says whatever comes into her mind without thinking first.
yo people SNOW!!!! all i can say is SNOW!!!! holy wa, eh?
yes, we went up north for thanksgiving. happy days. i love snow.
no snow here of course. just rain *sigh*
we played a loooooooooooot of schmere too. who knows how to play schmere? anybody?
schmere is like our family game. eeeeeeeverybody in our family plays it. and if somebody marries in that’s the first thing we teach them. IT IS OUR WAY OF LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yaay schmere rantings. i love schmere. oh yeah and this will make no sense if you don’t know how to play but cat (my cousin) and i set a new record for game against dad and pat (my uncle dan’s girlfriend) (see? we teach them even before they get married!) 68 points in game. you may all clap and cheer now.
before that we got 61 points in game on the last round and lost. this was us again against uncle dan and uncle jack.
so then we figured out that the max was 80, but that’s pretty impossible to get cuz you’d have to have all 4 tens, aces, kings, queens, and jacks out and win them all, which means you’d have to win at least five tricks.
by now inside my head i’m watching you all go huh say what? so i shall teach you how to play schmere.
hooray! ok. first you take a regular deck of cards, and take out the jokers, and 4s-8s. that leaves ace, deuce, three, nine, ten, jack, queen, king. then shuffle what’s left and deal 6 cards to each players. oh yeah there are four players and partners sit across from each other. Then everybody looks at their cards, and the person to the left of the dealer bids first. What you’re bidding on is how many points you can get in the round (not game points, those come later) there are four points you can get-high, low, jack, and game. So it depends on what you want to risk. ok now i’m gonna make some peoples. P1, P2, P3, and D. P1 is to the left of D. P1 has ace, jack, three of hearts, and king, deuce of clubs, and 3 of spades. just a random hand to show you how to bid. P1 would probably want to bid 2. maybe 3 if the other team was ahead. NOT FOUR!!! don’t bid four. ever. baaad thing to do. Technically you’re allowed to, but it would not be smart. You’re not allowed to bid 1. (if everbody passes just give all the cards back to the dealer and reshuffle and redeal)
So now P1 bids 2, so P2, sitting to the left of P1 can either bid 3
(or four)or pass. P2 passes for simplicity.now P3 can bid 2 or pass. P3 passes again because ebeth is lazy and wants simplicity.
Now D can bid 3 or pass. guess what D’s gonna do? yup. pass. ebeth’s getting tired of this and wants to get to the game.
So now P1 leads, and whatever suit P1 leads in is trump. P1 puts down the ace of hearts. aces are high. they can’t be taken by anything but trump (ace of trump can’t be taken by anything) and being the highest card, they give you one of the 2 points you bid for. P1 doesn’t lead with the jack because jacks can be taken. even if you don’t have the ace, don’t lead with the jack. lead with a low or something.
So now the players have to take turns and put down a card from their hand. You have to follow suit unless you trump it (like somebody leads with a diff suit and you put down a trump card) so P2 has to put down hearts. If you don’t have any of that suit you can go off but if you have it you have to put it down.
P2 has the 2 of hearts. We play keep low, so P2 and D have a point out of the 4 now.
P3 is P1s partner so P3 wants to put down something good. tens are good for game, and P3 knows P1 has the trick, so P3 puts down the ten of hearts.
D has no trump so D puts down a low off-suit card.
P1 took the trick so P1 gets to lead again. probably king of clubs is good. try to go off-trump leading the second trick.
ok skip that trick not important. say P2 takes it.
P2 gets to lead now, so P2 wants to see what trump people have left. P2 plays 9 of trump. P3 plays something unimportant, D plays something unimportant, P1 has to follow suit so P1 puts down the JACK!!! that is safe because P1 went last. If P1 hadn’t gone last then P1 would want to wait a bit because P1 wouldn’t know if anybody had higher trump.
So now P1 and P3 have their 2-bid (high and jack) and they are safe. If you don’t get what you bid, you go back the same number that you bid. P2 and D have a point (deuce (which is the 2 btw if you didn’t know that)) and it’s all good.
So we’ve done 3 tricks, skip the other three and go to the end-one player on each team takes the cards they won and counts for game. aces are 4, kings 3, queens 2, jacks 1, tens 10 (tens are biiiig game. if you have a trump and you see three tens go in trump it. it’s worth it.) deuce, three, and nines aren’t worth any game. So let’s say that P2 and D have more points for game. They got game and low, and P1 and P3 got high and jack.
P1 and P3 get the 2 pts they bid and P2 and D get two points. If P1 and P3 had only gotten one point they would have gone back two points because they didn’t get what they bid.
That’s round 1. Then you go up to 15 points. It’s lotsa fun. whee!!!
that was really long. i’s sry. i’ll send you all a virtual deck of cards if you actually read that.
MG (#373),
What’s a MAP? I thought I was a GAPA. Anyway, I’m done frolicking for a while, so stifle your annoyance and post away.
Schmere sounds like fun. Probably impossible to play online, though.
–Robert
Hello y’all. did you miss me? sorry i haven’t posted in a while but my computer goes only about 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 miles per hour. grrrrrrr.
Sorry I’ve been gone so long. Zyviva and I saw the fourth HP last night! it was good, they put in almost every detail from the books, but only gave each one about five seconds of screentime. they didn’t even play out the Moody thing, or Cho!
We had some girls sitting in front of us, and when Voldemort came on screen they said, and I quote (you can delete this if it is objectionable, Adon Moreh/Madrich) “oh, he is so SEXY!”
Montgomery, my paternal grandparents are almost exactly like that. Except he TRIES to be mean to me. It is impossible to maintain total sang froid while fending off mean comments with Keats quotes. (Him:”Your hair looks terrible! Why don’t you ever brush it?” Me: *pats hair* “I try to, you know!”) And these are the people who are supposed to love you UNCONDITIONALLY. Pah! I don’t like shopping either. This is because a) I have almost no time to spend on appearance and b) I have no slushy money either. Sigh.
What is NationStates, anyway? Sounds addictive.
voldy? sexy? what? are you sure you heard the right name? tom riddle maybe…
voldemort no way. wow.
hey phoenix guess where that should go? THE BOOKS+MOVIES THREAD!!! WOOHOO!! the one i’m going to now cuz i saw a couple movies…
aaah! shopping! I feel your pain queen j.
I dislike shopping. It makes me anxious. And all the florescent lights and people and if you want a piece of clothing you have to try on ten million different things all on the same idea, and then there’s just so many people and it’s all so sterile and there’s Christmas music playing, which I hate, unless it’s good, but less than one percent is good, and it just all feels so fake…
OF course, that’s only the department stores; I like thrift shops- they’re nice and comfy and they have the most wonderful outdated clothing and stuff and it’s sort of like a treasure hunt, only not really.
And my bubbe (grandmother) is really nice only she lives too far away so I only get to see her in the summer…
My grandmather is the nicest, sweetest, most caring person I know, she just doesn’t think about what she says before she says it. She doesn’t stop and go, “how will this sound to the person I’m talking to?” and that means she says a lot of things that would horrify her if she knew how they really sounded.
A MAP is a Muse Administrator Person. I know everyone is going to GAPA, but I’ve been calling Robert and Rosanne Muse Administrator People since my first day on here, and I like a bit of nostalgia. Plus, I just want to be different. I don’t want to do the standard thing, even if it is a random standard thing (if that makes any sense) (or if it doesn’t). I’m going to keep on calling them MAPs.
They are the MAP to insanity.
*deep, thoughtful, and solemn dramatic pause*
*everybody stares*
heh.
I likes my grandma. she’s cool.
I signed up for nationstates people. *sigh* this is gonna turn out bad, i just know it. “never give in to peer pressure, it will lead you to do things you shouldn’t do!” yup. judging by that joining nationstates was the worst thing i ever did. ah well. I’m the Dominion of Evil Mwahahahaha. there should be a comma in there i know but they wouldn’t let me put one in. grr.
Nation States isn’t that bad, I think. It might lead to paralysis for all I know. I’ve only been doing it for three days. But Phoenix has been doing it longer and she……Wait a minute!!!! Nation States will make us like Phoenix?!?!! Everybody run!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! RUN AWAY!!!! WHERE? ANYWHERE!!! AAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!
the population of nationstates: *scream, panic, and helplessly run around in circles*
Man, this is just doing wonders for my self image, you know? But don’t worry, going on NationStates won’t make you like me, unless you have some way to immediately become bilingual. And multi ethnic.
Ummm… I do NationStates. And I’m learning Chinese and Spanish. And I’m multiethnic…
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!
Wait. Bilingual. I’m saved.
Can we do a NationStates thread? Because it’s clogging up all of the other ones…
The Chairman has got his temporary driver’s permit. Look out if you live in or around Worthlessville, Ohio. [Specific location zapped by the Administrator.]
woohoo go chairman!!!
haha you know that i’m gonna blame every stupid driver on you now right? “oh that must be the USECGO taking a vacation over here…”
lol!
hey I know the GAPA’s on…anybody else?
anybody?
GAPA? you want to have a conversation about…erm…something…?
come on people…
Sorry, E., I’m working. I’m spending more time approving comments than I should be as it is.
oh vell. you work then. I’ll see if anybody’s at nationstates.
When worse comes to worst, converse with yourself!
Example:
-Why hello, what a nice day it is.
-No it’s not
-Yes it is.
-Why?
-Because it’s cloudy.
-I hate cloudy days.
-No you don’t. I like them, and I’m you, so yes, you do.
-Nuh uh.
-Yeah well…fine.
And then we could discuss other things, like why I have a D in SPanish, and that would lead to asking why I’m in the class at all. Sigh. I had an A like two days ago. All theses mini projects she dosen’t explain.
you have a D in Spanish!!! shameshameshameshameshameshame!!!
shame on you!!!!!
:sob: It’s becuase her teaching is strange. I went from and A to B to a C to an A to a D! And she springs these ridiculous projects like “Bring your utensils to school” and gives a grade. It’s stupid. I’m very glad high school offers Japanese.
oooooooookkkkkkkkkkk…..??? atrange teacher…
i meant strange
I am shocked to hear this! I currently possess an A in Espanol. I can say some useful stuff already! Nuesto presidente es un tonto gordo y feo. Quite!
And blaming things on me just because I am now able to drive is illegal. I do not take hundreds of vacations a year. Where do you live, anyway? If it’s not in Ohio, then you can’t blame it on me.
Did you know that Ohioans have the thickest blood of all Americans? It will take 10 minutes longer for an Ohioan to bleed to death than a Hawaiian!
Wow, USECGO, the Ohio blood factoid is intriguing. Where did you learn that? Why do you think it’s so thick?
cool!!!!! I was born in Ohio and so was my mom!!!!! does that mean if I’m bleeding to death i’ll still have a few minutes longer to be rescued?
haha i do live in ohio but I wasn’t born there.
no thick blood for me
well, blood is thicker then water.
were ever that comes from.
You know, Grant, you have posted your location all over the net and IF I were a stalker I could find you in about 2 seconds. Ohio– I shall not post your hometown– which you said is the middle of nowhere, so I could probably find you by using the phone book or even asking people for people with last names which begin with the letter O, or look in the archives for junior driver’s lessons. you should really be more careful.
Ha! I haven’t even started taking the bloody classes yet! And good luck with the stalking thing. Why would anyone want to find me? Usually people get as far away from me as possible.
I heard the blood thing from my brother last week. It’s handy to be an Ohioan, except if you’re depressed. Ha ha ha! I crack myself up.
You know, someone could find me really easily if they wanted to. You know that [bla bla bla…yes, MG, but there’s no point in pulling all the information together like this. Make your abductor do a little work, for heaven’s sake. –GAPA]. Maybe that’s kind of far-fetched, since if anyone were going to go to all that trouble they might as well just abduct a random child off the street, as come all this way to find me.
Hmph. It actually wasn’t that much information. It would be kind of hard to find me with just that. Actually, if someone was willing to come all the way to Louisiana, after having searched through all the posts on here to find the necessary information, go through everything it would take locate me, all just to abduct little old me when there are thousands of children my age in any town, I kind of want to meet him. Okay, I’m joking. I’m not serious. I promise. Don’t have a heart attack.
Ha ha USECGO, “bloody” classes. It’s funny after all that talk about blood. Or maybe it’s not. I don’t know. Anyway, Relient K is from Ohio, and in one of their songs (Hoopes, I did it again. I promise, it sounds nothing like you would expect a song of that name to sound like), they say, “Ohio has the flavor of a water chestnut. It’s not too crazy, and it’s not the best but we’re not setting forest fires just out of boredom, I’d rather see a movie, if in fact I can afford one.” I like that song. It’s nice and random.
Yes, but you MuseBloggers are people of destiny, you see. We can’t afford to lose any of you. Maybe after blog traffic picks up a little bit…
Joking. Joking. Hold your pies!
But apperently you don’t mind of someone abducts the Chairman. You let Phoenix post exactly how someone could find him.
uh oh. I’m sensing yet another of the GAPAs phrases to go down in the history of Museblogging. “hold your pies” heh.
multi tasking rocks. i’m watching the three musketeers. again. go me.
yeah anybody who kidnapped me would probably end up paying my parents to take me back. If my parents were smart enough to bargain that is instead of just saying “sure we’ll take her”
hah. maybe I should post exactly where I live so somebody’ll come kidnap me and i can make some money…
Ok guys I live on Mars, on Zoopdoodle Street, 3948 Zoopdoodle Street, Mars, The Solar System, the Milky Way, The Universe. Between Spaceships-R-Us and my friend Glooble’s house.
ok go follow the directions now! I’ll sit here comfortably at [censored] (by Ebeth) and laugh at you.

That’s right! Nobody cares about meeeeeeeeee! *sob*
Awww, Grant. We care! But I don’t think you’ve given a stalker much to work with.
Phoenix — thanks for the reminder
Oops! Oh, well, win some, lose some.
ha! you underestimate my talents GAPA! YES….I am a STALKER!!!! I’ve hacked into Ebeth’s email and taken over her identity! You’re next Mr. Chairman! MWAHAHAHAHA.
ok just kidding. I’m not a stalker.
I don’t think…I can’t speak for my alter ego though…
*ominous music*
For those people on NationStates, GH/ Ishmael/ Sphinx’s twin stole her cousin’s post-it note, and then wrote on it, “I have stolen your post-it note. If you ever want to see this post-it note again, deliver your two tons of chocolate to my doorstep no later than 2:30 PM”. then she stuck the captive/rasom note on her forehead and walked around with it.
And of course that mistake will be on the internet forever for all to see. mwahaha…
lol!
vewwy good movie i just watch-ed. yay fun.
“How pathetic. Killed by the same man that killed your father.”
“You killed my father??!!”
“No…I AM your father…”
“NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!”
*ahem*
“You killed my father??!!”
“Oh yes.”
*lunge*
*schmack*
“One thing is certain, you are no musketeer.”
*stab*
“I might have been mistaken”
*die*
Ssssssss. The Chairman is feeling aggressive. I guess I’d better ask John B. at my school for my pen back, the one he’s had for several weeks! Stupid jock…..
I never lend out pens. I tried once, but the choild then proceeded to suck on it, which was exceedingly disgusting. It neede to be disinfected. My lending practice have since stopped.
I just realized I have the Wierd Sisters song frim Harry Potter stuck in my head. So THAT’S what it was. Ahahaha….
hello. yes, it’s me. again. and this time hopefully i won’t disapeer. hehe
Ebeth the Lurker is having fun. y’know those weird little buttons between the right+left mouse clickers on the skool comps? yah if u click them you can move the mouse around and the leetle bars and the screens move up and down. And this thread, for some odd reason, goes side to side too. Ebeth is going to go make herself dizzy now. whee!!!
I think I know what you are talking about. My mouse has one of those, too. I don’t really like it, it makes me kind of sick.
Hey, have any of you guys ever heard of the band Relient K? They’re, well, I guess they’re technically punk rock. They’re really awesome. Ever heard the song “Sadie Hawkin’s Dance” or “Mood Rings”? What about “Forward Motion”? If you haven’t ever heard any of these songs, I pity you from the deepest part of my heart.
I love that little middle button trick! I don’t think I’ve given out too much personal information. And besides, any stalker doesn’t even know my name. Any part of it, because I don’t mention any part to anybody I don’t know.
Why don’t Sphinx and Greggory House ever post on here? Or do they, and I’m just to dense to notice?
Relient K? I’ve heard of that. Where have I heard of that? Oh…somebody on the museblog is like a huge fan…yeah…I remember now…what was her name…emmmm mmon mont monty? no…montgom montgomer montgomery…montgomerygurl! yeah! that was it!
never mind me i’m strange.
WARNING!!! EBETH HAS ISSUES!!! SHE IS POSTING THEM HERE!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT HER TERRIBLE HORRIBLE LIFE AND HOW AND WHY SHE IS DEPRESSED!!! PLUS IT IS LONG CUZ SHE LIKES TO RANT AND COMPLAIN!!! BE YE WARNED!!!
i do not want to do my history hw!!!!!!!!! eeeeeevil featherstone, assigning it right after thanksgiving! And giving us time in class to do it when we all need the comps and there are only 4 there! and we can’t get to the comp lab cuz some other evil teacher took it!!! grrrr. that means I have to do it tonight so that I’ll have an excuse for not doing anything tomorrow unlike today where i had no excuse for sitting there staring at a picture of a victorian parlor and doodling on my lovely piece of BLANK paper cuz i couldn’t get on the COMP to type up anything!!!!!!! AAAAARRRRGGGGHH!!!!
oh yeah i’m joining jazz band tonight too. from 8-9. what kind of crazy person schedules somethiing from 8-9!?!?! insanity. I don’t even know if i really want to join or not. it was fun last year and all but last year A-I knew people in the jazz band and B-I played first part. Let me tell you right now, 3rd part is EVIL!!! that’s what i play in concert band cuz i’m a freshman and we haven’t had chair tryouts yet. grr…
AND another thing I want to read my BOOK, I’m reading 1776, but every time I start it i feel GUILTY because it’s more stupid HISTORY and I don’t want to do my HISTORY but I have to and the HISTORY book reminds me of that. grrr…rar. arrgh. woof.
*sigh* the horrors of my life…I’m depressed peoples. Plus we had a math test today and i know i FAILED because A-she always complains about how we don’t double check things but she never gives us enough TIME to do that and B-I got a killer headache in HISTORY today (grr more HISTORY) towards the end so my head HURT all the way through it. I think i’m getting sick and it’s all SOMEBODY’S fault, I don’t know who’s, but SOMEBODY is being evil to me. So in order to have somebody to blame for my issues, I’m gonna make up an invisible enemy and name him GREG. GREG IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!!! *WHACK WHACK WHACK*
here I go, whacking away at thin air…
well whaddya know, hitting greg seems to help. good boy greg!
I don’t have many problems, except my Hebrew teacher hates me and, even though I am an Israeli raised and my Hebrew average last year was a perfect 96 even though I never studied and we all spent the class time locking two brothers (the class wqas for 7th and 8th grade together) in the closet using only a hanger and a plastic chair and playing pro volleyball with crumpled paper because the teacher was never there, she still fails me for every test. And my parents have forbidden me to get in any more fights because I always get in fights with boys (I am the self-appointed human rights officer in my class) and they say that some day I will get squashed, so my friend is teaching me karate and I am teaching her practical defnce (pressure points and throws and such).
yeah phoenix!!
that’s very naughty of course.
observe the internal struggle-Ebeth’s good girl against her rebel alter ego…wanting to cheer you on…but knowing that fighting is wrong…
THE SCRIPT OF LIFE (oh yeah, here we go again)
Good Girl (GG): Fighting baaaad. baaaad phoenix.
Fighting Spirit (FS): They deserve it! Go phoenix!! woohoo!!! schmack them!!!
GG: No! Violence is NOT justified!!!
FS: You really think that?
GG: YES!!!
FS: Wanna fight?
GG: *slap*
FS: haha *kick*
as you can see the fighting spirit won. mostly because knowing phoenix, they probably deserve it. (i don’t think you randomly go around hitting people. You’re a muser.)
I don’t have many problems either. But i still find greg useful. *WHACK*
yes *sigh* once again procrastination is the Cause leading me to the computer.
doodle dee dum…hoom de doom…lalala…girschfiggle schmorkenkorfen…
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have now reached the stage known as the Second Panic. The First Panic led to some work on the homework, but the need to procrastinate drove Ebeth back to the computer, where she is now. At the Second Panic stage, she will return to her homework, get agonizingly close to being done, and give up again, resulting in the Third Panic which should come either around 7:55 (right before jazz band) or at about 9:15 (right after jazz band). This is known as the Completion Stage, where she says “yes this sucks but I have to get done” and finishes up whether she thinks it’s good or not. (Of course she always thinks it sucks. Most of the time it’s because it does. Occaisionally she’ll (by a complete and miraculously well-timed accident) do something right.) Now that the Second Panic has set in, she will be leaving. Possibly for the night. (haha good joke.) She has a message to all and I shall forward it here-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! IT’S THE SECOND PANIC!!!! RUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t panic, Ebeth. Come on, control yourself. People who call themselves up at home never get anything done.
BRRING!
Ebeth: Hello?
Ebeth: Hi, this is Ebeth.
*logic glances at conversation*
CLICK!
You see? Ebeth, either be good girl or fighting rebel alter ego. We can’t have any of this messing about going on, can we? No. Won’t fly around this joint. No crawling either.
oooh, maybe that’s why i never get anything done…
no but Ebeth isn’t talking to Ebeth, Ebeth is narrating the fight between two of Ebeth’s alter egos. Neither of them actually live at home. One lives in Preppyland, the other lives in my nationstates country, the Dominion of Darkness, Mwahahahaha.
can i walk then? or run? or maybe I’ll just apparate around this joint…
Yeah, I was threatening the boy because he was harassing my friend. He didn’t back off, but at least he let her go to answer me, and then my friend the blackbelt came in so he couldn’t start again. I would have hit him, though, even though he is a head taller than me and probably stronger. I wish we were allowed broadswords in school. grr. *Phoenix virtually whacks of the guy’s head with big broadsword* i mean, honestly! some people are just jerks. (don’t worry. there is only 1 person in the entire school of 550 or so kids that acts like this. Don’t judge…most of my classmates, even the boys, are quite nice.)
Grr. I’m displeased. My Spanish teacher was just smart enough to assign a ridiculously long worksheet the night before yet another mini project was due. I see no point in it, and may not do it today. :sigh: But then my grade will plummet farther.It dosen’t help that the computer we were supposed to use to start the sheet wasn’t working. So I had a total of three minutes to start an hour long worksheet, that will most likely be worth a ridiculous amount of points.
Oooh I know some karate.
I have a huge english project that i haven’t started on, and we get assigned days today (like when we have to present) and the earliest is the 7th, so if i get that i’m totally screwed because we have to ramble on for 20 minutes.
I picked humor though, so i’ll just quote monty python the whole time
maybe tell everybody the world’s funniest joke…
say the same thing in a bunch of different ways like;
1. i am crazy
2.people think i am from another planet
3. eccetnric is a term aplied to geniuses and me
4. the word sane has never been used with my name….
The word sane has been used with my name. In sentences like, “We can only hope that [name] becomes slightly more sane in later life.”
Hey Zyv! nice to have you back here with us again!
Feh. It turns out the worksheet wasn’t even due today. Rargh.
Yay for the last day of November! Actually, I’m just happy because I found another song by an very obscure band that I love to death. And I just realized it’s the new single. Hohoho. Axa is slow today/all the time.
today wa the fourth snowfall!!!!! I love snow
i’m just a poor boy nobody loves me he’s just a poor boy from a poor family i see a little silohetta of a man gallyoosh gallyoosh can you do the randando tons and tons of lightening very very frightening! Galileao Galileao Galileao Figaro oo oo oo oo…..

i love my handwriting!!!! I read three books over thanksgiving break. I had half on Monday and Tuesday off and then the rest of the week off. I had finals on Monday and Tuesday so that’s why we had it off. i’ve seen Harry Ptter twice now
Guess what!!! I’m selling chocolate for band!
byebye, time for religious education!
Go band person! Really odd weather over here. The worthless band director of my worthless school, Mr. Lowe (IQ is my nickname for him) did something smart for once and made me the piccolo player for the concert band.
this is a strange question that may result in insanely long discutions that make no sense between two or so people, but what the heck. has anyone read the stravaganza series? (or part of it)
nope. never read it.
but it should go on the BOOKS+MOVIES THREAD!!!!!!!!!!
hey boxty what do you play?
My band teacher is completely insane and also really cool. A couple years ago we were playing some piece with a really complicated rythem and the precussion was messing it up, so he starts to sing to the tune, “Oh, some poeple could not count if it was thier lives…”
Last year we were playing “Mars” and anyone who has heard it knows that at the end there is a series of notes that have a bunch of randomly alternating staccatos and rests, and the idiot saxaphones were throwing us off, so it sounded crazy, and anyway the saxes can’t play. So the teacher (named Mr. GItter, by the by) hummed again to the tune, “I don’t like kids… no I don’t…I don’t like them at all…they get one my nerves…and I wish they’d… diiiiiiie.”
And when he gets angry at somone for playing a wrong note he threatens to throw his keys at them. Really. It’s really funny, and he onece even did it, but he purposely aimed off.
I really like him.
anybody here? GAPA? Kokopelli #2? USECGO? Axa? RRF? Phoenix? Zyviva?
