Real Life Rantings! Argh!

[The-Elf-Herself]

Hah! Evil overlords? Not while I'm around. Ruins all the fun of perfectly chaos. *laughs maniacally*

Yes, we do, but I have to take remedial math over the summer. Apparently I was getting the concepts to Algebra 2, but not the mechanics. Now, I'm FINE with that, but others insist I go back and work through the dull and dreary mechanics. Bleh. I can't wait til I go to a nice liberal arts college with an excellent writing major and forget all about graphing.

[My_Precious]

I'm not planning on being an overlord, I am planning on being an overlady. Plus, the weather in Chicago is nasty, so I'll live it to you, Yay.

[YayGollum]

All math is pure evil. It's the only thing you have to understand to do well with. You can cram for everything else. oh well. Fine, I'll leave Chicago for this The_elf_Herself person to be chaotic in. You can have Russia. :rolleyes:

[The-Elf-Herself]

I agree about the math stuff. Believe it or not, it's not possible to understand it if you try to cram a week's worth of math into a Monday on a consistent basis. Talk about unfair. :rolleyes: Huzzah! *eyes Chicago* You guys can keep the evil Overlord stuff, being the Bringer of Crazy Inventor Insanity suits me juuuust fine.

rant---> It's a book-lover's worst nightmare: being low on reading material. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! :eek:

[Rhiannon]

Query: Do homeschoolers get a summer vacation? I mean, I would think you do...but when?

It depends on the homeschoolers. We tend to take more breaks during the year, so we go through the summer, but keep it light.

Yikes! I would hope so! If they were being taught school type stuffs all year, wouldn't they be smarter than everyone else?

Too late! We already are! mwahahahahah!!!!!!

rant---> It's a book-lover's worst nightmare: being low on reading material. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!! I have like 70 books I haven't read that I own, plus books I've borrowed (10?+), plus I keep buying books. I am well guarded against such a disaster. Right now I'm reading One Hundred Years of Solitude while waiting for my sister to finished HP5.

I want to go to Chicago. Next spring. Book Expo America will be in Chicago next spring. Do you know how many free books you can get at that thing???

Math is not evil. I love it. I`ve been always good at it. It`s so logical and beautiful. It makes perfect sense. Especially Geometry. Besides it develops your thinking abilities.

[Dragon]

hmmmm....math is still evil, shush, but the fact that u like it makes u a little evil too:rolleyes: :D

what!!! free books!!!???? where!!?!?!?!????!!?!?!:eek: :eek: :eek: :confused: :eek:

[Rhiannon]

At the Book Expo America (which was in LA this year, and NY the year before- it rotates between the three cities) different publishing companies have booths, and give away ARCs (advanced reading copies) of upcoming books. Give away!

[Dragon]

but, but.....I can't go to places like that, I don't have the persuasion skills to get my parents to be allowing or wahtever the word is.....maybe you could go and grab a whole bunch of books, then we could meet at a half-price books and split them?:D :D :D :cool: :cool: :cool:

[Rhiannon]

Well, I have to get there first.

[Dragon]

well, get going then!!!!

heh, when is it?:confused: :D :cool:

[Rhiannon]

Not until next year. It happens in the spring, and this year's just ended.

[Annushka]

Rant - last week we had to hand in this mini paper. After that we split into couples, read each others papers and wrote a small critique. Today she returned them to us. This guy who wrote mine was so aggresive and mean:( I mean that`s alright to say what you think but why so aggresively. I can handle other people`s critisizm. But not when it`s so radically put. And his tone was very unexpected. So I read that and all my day was spoiled:( Now I try not to have any bad feelings for him, cause it`d just stupid. But that`s so unpleasant when somebody just without any particular reason is being so aggresive:(:(
The funny thing is that my critique was very descreet cause I thought that why say something unpleasant to somebody if you have the choice not to do that. And besides nothing really depends on that paper and especially on my opinion.

[Rhiannon]

What a jerk, Shush! There is no excuse for meanness, and radical cruel criticsm is meanness. Totally anti-constructive and very evil. A pox on him!

[Annushka]

You really think so Rhia?? Cause now I try not to be opposed to him just because he wrote that thing. It might quite stupid - I don`t like this guy cause he wrote mean things about my mini-paper. The strange thing is that other than this he looks like he doesn`t have anything against me:confused:

[Rhiannon]

I really think so. Bah! All kinds of poxes and curses on him and his children for multiple generations. Maybe he's one of those people that is normal most of the time but mean and cruel underneath. Who knows. But for this one instance in time, regardless of circumstances, because he has hurt my dear Shush, I wish multiple poxes on him.

[Annushka]

Thank you Rhia so much!:) It was consoling:) I`ll just forget the whole thing and stop feeling all confusedl.

[YayGollum]

Not caring about the other subjects, I shall go back to math. sorry about that. :rolleyes: Sure, it is logical and makes sense and helps out with thinking, but I don't get how it could be beautiful. oh well. I'm just not a fan of the stuff because I am a fan of being lazy. Math isn't hard once you know how to do it, but you still have to think about every problem. *sniff*

[Annushka]

It`s beautiful because it`s logical and when you get it you see that it`s like a tangle. You must just find the tip. It`s like a game. You win or you lose. Anyway, if somebody doesn`t see the beauty of it there is nothing I can do. He`ll just never get it. Sorry about that:rolleyes:

[YayGollum]

I'll take your word for it. oh well.

Real Life Rant ---> My evil father showed up to pick up my evil and popular little sister for the summer. He had cardses for my graduation and birthday. The graduation card had over two hundred dollars in it, but he took the money out and left the card just because I was asleep and didn't care enough to wake up and see him. My evil mom lady woke me up as he was leaving, thinking that I might want to make the guy happy and get my money, but Ha! Oh, please! I could care less about money that I can only get if I have to lose pride for! My evil mom lady thought I was being evil. oh well. She just needed the money for something. :rolleyes:

[Dragon]

yay, I sort of agree w/ u, and I sorta don't, your mom could probably have used the money to pay bills or something like that, but if he's really as bad a guy as u say he is, I wouldn't have taken it either:rolleyes: :o

[The-Elf-Herself]

This is probably just me Yay, but I would have clamped down on the evil pride and taken the cash, no matter how evil your father is. Money is money. Even when my parents stranded me at my Gram's when I was eight so they could spend a year FAR AWAY trying to figure out if they wanted to stay together, INSTEAD of thinking about their KIDSES(gee, why would you do THAT? You're only their PARENTS!), I still accepted any little giftses they gave me. Guess I have too much common sense to get all prideful. Or maybe I just don't get evilly emotional over things. Pride is an emotion, y'know.:rolleyes: ;)

[My_Precious]

Wow, Yay! I thought that my father was a b***ard, but your father beats even that. My father at least understood that my nasty attitude toward him was something he deserved, and gave me money the normal way, and didn't make me beg for it when he was the one who screwed up. I'm really sorry for you. *gives Yay a hug*

[Rhiannon]

Ack, Yay- sounds rough on you!

(I love my parents. They are wonderful people.)

Only we don't get any TV- just videos and DVDs. So it's midnight at my grandmother's and I'm catching up on my History and Discovery channels...History channel....*longing sigh*....Discovery channel...*droool* Three hours of shows about forensic science. Woo-hoo! And a special last night about comic book heroes.

[YayGollum]

It's common sense to take little giftses? I don't see anything especially necessary about them or that evil money. My evil father wasn't stupid enough to think that I don't hate him. He's just stupid enough to think that he's perfect in every way and doesn't deserve evility tossed at him. oh well. Too bad. I was sleepy. :rolleyes:

[Vixen Evenstar]

oh well...good for you. Money can't make you happy right? Nothing can make ME happy....

[The-Elf-Herself]

No, I can understand why you did it Yay. I probably would have done the same if I was in your position. I just like to be crazy and toss in a different opinion to these kinds of arguments. Someone has to play the bad guy, someone has to be devil's advocate. Otherwise things aren't balanced.

[YayGollum]

No, money can make people happy. Very easy. But then, this was a different situation where the money didn't matter. Doobedoobedoo...evil The_elf_Herself person. :rolleyes: Even though that Devil's Advocate movie was good.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Yes, I AM evil, but at least the conversations I'm in are balanced. And yes, that was a good movie.

rant--> got my first paycheck for waitressing. Evil government stole five bucks off me through taxes. Bleh.

unrant---> made fourteen dollars in tips

[Vixen Evenstar]

Oh well...money doesn't make me happy...of course...it sure makes unhappiness a sure lot more nice....:D

[My_Precious]

Check out mine: Made $50 working at a grocery store. After taxes and union fees were taken out, took home $22. THAT's bs.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Ouch! Yeah, that is a lot.

rant---> my pet mouse died.:(

[My_Precious]

Oh, yeah, I had a mouse once too. His name was Elf. He died too...:(

[YayGollum]

Why name a mouse that kind of craziness? Whoops! *hides* That's just like naming it Human. Ack! *runs away* What else? Got it. Money helps with unhappiness, but evil government people like to take it away all the time. Poor you. Easy solution ---> Get a higher paying job.

[Dragon]

yay, most of these ppl r 2 young 2 get n e thing that pays higher than waitressing yet

I've never had a mouse...I have 2 guinea pigs tho!!!

[Kailita]

Unrant ---> Short vacation thing is over and I'm back with the beloved GOO. :D

Rant ---> You guys writing three pages while I was gone. :rolleyes: Oh crackers.

Rant/Unrant ---> We got a new computer. Good and bad thing. This one supposedly has more memory, which is good and means that my brothers and I can play more games. (It's supposed to be faster than our other one, too, but I don't really think it is.) The bad thing is that we have a new keyboard to go with it. :eek: Kailita does not like that. Kailita has a strange obsession and attachment to keyboards...they're like old friends...and she hates this new one. The spacebar is strange looking and it sticks every time she tries to double space, even as she types this! It is frustrating her so much that she has lapsed into third person. :eek:

In other news ---> I'm sorry about your mouse, Jam. :( It's sad to see a pet die. My friend used to have a pet rat, and she was very sad when he died. I was sad for her...but I didn't like the rat. He bit. :rolleyes:

[Dragon]

hey, K, did u keep your old computer? that's what we do, so when its time to get a new one, even tho our old one seems out of date, at least we have 2, meaning 2 ppl can get on at once:D :rolleyes: I have a very good spacebar, it seems:( :rolleyes: :D :cool: heehee

welcome back, K!!! *throws confetti into the air*:D

[Kailita]

Eeeee! Thankies! :D (*Struggles with the difficult spacebar*)

Umm...we kept the first computer, but it's all dismembered now. Not my idea. I begged to keep it so we could have two people on the computer at once, but my parents didn't know where to put it and decided they would just compromise by putting the memory of the old one into the new one. *Pouts*. But my dad's going to need to use the computer a lot in the next few months for work, and that means that I won't be able to use it too (which is why I was begging so much to keep the old one). Erk. So if I suddenly disappear for a few weeks in the near future, you'll know why. :rolleyes:

[YayGollum]

When I wrote that crazy easy solution thing, I was saying that Outcasts should be working themselves up to a higher paying job. A gradual thing. As in, get over it, be patient, and have fun when you have a higher paying job. oh well. Nevermind.

[Dragon]

ohhhhh........... see, It all makes sense now, I thought you were just being forgetful or stupid.......well, you didn't specify

*is determined to make herself feel smarter*

[YayGollum]

Uh, huh. Have fun with that goal. Doobedoobedoo... Real Life Rant ---> I volunteer at a hospital every now and then. Lots of construction is going on over here and they just opened up a new section. Everything is achingly nice and beautiful and new and I'm stuck working in the old part of the hospital. oh well. I can visit. :rolleyes: Argh! The rooms in there are better than the one I have at home!

[Annushka]

Is there a possibility that you will be a doctor in the future? Cause you seem to be really interested.

RANT - I want to have a vacation!! I`m tired, I need to change something, but I`m stuck here because of that stupid thing I have to write. Isn`t summer supposed to be fun?? For me it`s certainly not. I even don`t have time and nerves to come here:(:(

[Kailita]

Ohhh, poor Shush. :( What's the stupid thing you're supposed to write...? :confused: When you're done with it, then can you maybe take a vacation? Or maybe the GOO will just have to throw a vacation party for you...:)

(This...darn...spacebar...!!! It won't stop sticking!!)

[YayGollum]

No, me becoming a doctor or pretty much any crazy medical thing doesn't make too much sense. I've been around those people for too long. They're all achingly crazy and stressed. But still fun. oh well. I'd rather not have to worry about anyone else's life. Yay for only having to worry about yourself, right? Anyways, I have no idea what this scary Annushka person's financial situation is. You can't just go off on a vacation anytime.

[Annushka]

It`s not the financial situation. I just have classes up until August 17:( :(

I can only imagine how stressful it is to work at a hospital. How do they face that?? They see so much terrible things that can happen to people. How can one stay optimistic after all that? So you`re right. Let`s worry for ourselves.

I`m writing this Research paper about New Entry in Armenia:D:D Actually today I`ve to hand in the 1st part:(

[Dragon]

when u say "new entry" do you mean immigrants?

[Annushka]

No! New entry in economics means new enterprises making their first steps in business. I`m writing a research paper about that in Armenia:D

[Dragon]

oh....ok then....:o :o :o :rolleyes: :o :o :o

[Rhiannon]

Aaaaaaaaaargh! I can't get the online catalog of Museum Replicas to open! *dances with rage* I can't order boots without the catalog! Aaaaaaargh!

And I know it's my browser, too. Aaargh.

[YayGollum]

*hides from scary fans of bootses* Anyways, Ick. Are not economic type things achingly boring? oh well. Have fun with that, scary Annushka person. Hospital people aren't always sad because they have cool senses of humor. sorry about that.

[Rhiannon]

It's all better. I ordered the same boots for only slightly more at a different site, to which I was directed by Tal.

[HobbitGirl]

<rant=stepsisters font face=angry>

First, let me start out with a well-placed

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

I just got three new members of my family: a step mom and two step sisters. I'm like Cinderella, only I've still got a dad and a brother, and only one of the stepsisters is evil. She's my rant. She's barely eleven and a royal pain in the......urrgh! Ack! Ackity ack! My space is being invaded! *sob* I know I should be sympathetic, since she just moved here from France and all her stuff has yet to arrive and she speaks very little English and very much French and is all alone in an alien environment, but that doesn't mean I'm not totally up to here *gestures to collerbone*. She follows me around like a puppy dog. She always gets into other people's stuff without asking, especially my stuff. And the one place that's sanctuary, the one place where I go to get away, my little pyromaniac station in the garage, is the one place she's TAKEN A FANCY TO! I know I must sound selfish, but it's beyond a little bit of adjustment to someone who has been the baby sister all her life, and now I'm the big sister. My bro might as well not be here; he's moved into the basement and is a bonefied hermit. I'm swimming through full-on culture shock and whiplash. She isn't the only one who's world is turning upside down. *sigh* *misses her html brackets* <sigh> :D

Ok, html brackets make me fell better.

</rant>

Now you wouldn't be talking about me, would you? Cause Rodent did not bite. Rodent was a sweet little thing. Sweeter than Chalishenn (my second rat, who has also kicked the bucket) :(:(:(:(.

(And yes, Fiara's Mr. Rodent is in honor of my poor dead Rodent. I always wanted a rat with spots. :D)

[Rhiannon]

Ack, HG! Not good! Not good at all! My sister is eleven and royal pain, and I haven't even got the other stuff to deal with.

[spirit]

Hospital people aren't always sad because they have cool senses of humor my aunt works in a hospital and she is soo happy and cheery! she helps the patients to get beter and asll.

[Annushka]

That must be really tough. Changes are always difficult. But I'm sure you'll handle them very well:)

They're far from being boring! At least for me.

Oh no no, I wasn't referring to any of your pets, HG. I was talking about Jill's old rat, Robin. She absolutely adored the thing. I was mortally afraid of him. :rolleyes:

Poor HG. :( *Pats her hobbit friend on the back* It will get better. But now sure must be hard. Especially with having new family members forced on you and not being able to adjust to them from their birth (as it usually is with little siblings), not to even mention the language barrier. Well, look at it this way...at least you'll subconsciously become a lot more responsible! :) (Hey, you can send them over to me! I can always do with more sisters...:rolleyes::D And I love eleven year olds. Even the unreasonably annoying ones.)

[Rhiannon]

Eish, Kaia, you can have mine! She's annoyingly, disgustingly pretty, and she shares a birthday with Tolkien. Take her and welcome- you won't ever get a word in edgewise ever again. And I hope you like hearing about horses. :D

[Kailita]

Hehe...all little girls are obsessed with horses, unicorns, or dolphins at one point or another. :rolleyes::D

[Rhiannon]

She's all three, but mostly horses because she joined 4H.

I was in to dragons at that age. Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville was my favorite book.

Besides The Deed of Paksenarrion, of course, which didn't have any dragons in it.

[Kailita]

Let's see...at the age of eleven...I never really did the horse thing. Or dolphins. I guess the closest I ever got was My Little Pony, but that was like preschool. I did Spider-Man. :D He was my hero, my ultimate joy...every weekday at 3:30 I would devotedly watch the show with my brothers, even if we had already seen that particular episode three times before. There was a time when we could literally quote episodes line-for-line, we had seen them so many times.

But that's not much of a rant. :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

Batman. I'm a Batman girl. But at eleven I was reading a lot- all about the middle ages and fantasy.

[Kailita]

I liked (and like :D;)) Batman too - a lot more than Superman, anyway - but Spider-Man was always my first love. And I was more into Marvel than DC.

I really dove into fantasy around elevenish, too. So see, maybe you can influence your sister and give her that too, and then you two will have more in common and maybe she'll be a little bit more bearable. :)

[The-Elf-Herself]

Hmmm, I'm an X-Men girl. Used to read my cousin's comic books all the time. Lets see, I used to be really into scifi before Tolkien, after...I'm still much more of a scifi buff.

[Rhiannon]

I read my brother's comic books, which are mostly Batman and (recently) Daredevil. I used to watch Spider-Man, but I've never read it.

I was always in to fantasy- raised on Tolkien, and the first big book I read on my own was The Deed of Paksenarrion (1029 pages of small print- I was ten. It took six months. As soon as I finished it I started it again). I've read SF too, but fantasy is definitely what I prefer.

[Talierin]

First it was baseball :|, then birds :|, then Redwall, then Star Wars, and then finally Tolkien, which seems to have stuck.

[Rhiannon]

Well, if you want to go back all the way to my childhood...First it was Robin Hood, then it was Deed, then it was dragons, then it was Redwall, then it was fairy tales, which has pretty much stuck. Tolkien has just been a given all along.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Let's see, for me it was X-men comic books, then Baby-Sitters Club, then Little House on the Prairie and it's spin-offs, then Honor Harrington, then Star Trek, then Star Wars, then Tolkien. Right now I'm working through Agatha Christie and Discworld.

[Rhiannon]

I went through Star Wars and Agatha Christie phases, but not in the major way I did other stuff.

[Kailita]

*Doesn't think she's had any phases recently, as far as books go...* :(
I just read whatever I can get my hands on. I did have an American Girls period and a Boxcar Children period and a Nancy Drew period...I was probably nine about then.

Sci-fi, hmm Jam? Did you ever do the X-Files thing? That's always the first thing that comes to mind when I think sci-fi, besides Star Trek and Star Wars. I've always liked fantasy a little more than science fiction, myself.

And X-Men have always been a close second to Spider-Man on my list of favorite superheros. :D I had to have the angst...the whole "we're trying to save a world who hates us anyway" thing intrigued me. I like Daredevil, too.

It's about time I got into Agatha Christie. I like mysteries, and a lot of my friends have said she's really good.

I got into Redwall around 5th or 6th grade and really loved it...stuck in that phase for a couple years. But before I knew it, I had read them all and had to find a new obsession. :rolleyes: I loved the otters. And the hares. Then I got into Animorphs, and loved that. Hmm...maybe I've had more book phases than I thought...

Baby-Sitters Club, Jam? You don't strike me as a BSC reader, but I guess it was a while ago, right? I read the Little House books too, but never really enjoyed them...I mean, I thought they were okay, but I read them more because my mom and kindergarden teacher wanted me to, not because I was really into them.

What's Discworld?

[Rhiannon]

Oh, American Girls, I did the AG thing- I still keep my two dolls on my dresser (with my Eowyn doll and my Ireland Barbie). And I did the Boxcar Children too. But they got bypassed sort of quickly and I went on to bigger and better things- namely Redwall.

Discworld is a long series of fantasy books by Terry Pratchett and they are some of the funniest things on God's green earth. You must read some! I have only read just a few myself, but I loved them all. They're wonderful satires.

And my sister just got back from the doctor- she's been feeling sick for a while now. She has pneumonia (sp? too lazy to look it up) in her chest, and she's malnourished (she's one of those never-hungry people so she just doesn't eat) and she doesn't get enough protein and her body temperature is low.

This sounds worse that it actually is, because it's not like she has to be hospitalized or anything, but she does have to take some pills and we're going to have to force food in her.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Yeah, X-Files too. Still doing the scifi thing actually, I catch X-Files reruns whenever I can(I've alread seen pretty much every Star Trek episode in existence, excluding TOS).

Yeah, X-Men are awesome, except when we would PLAY X-Men as kids, my older brother got to be Cyclops, my cousins always claimed Jean Grey and Rogue, so I was always stuck with Storm or Jubilee. Little stinkers. Daredevil's cool too.

Ooooh read Agatha Christie! She's awesome! It's one of my irrational quests to read every single book she's written. Discworld is awesome too. Rhian, you NEED TO READ RINCEWIND BOOKS! I'm already enjoying the witches series, it's your turn to branch out. ;)

From the age of six to ten I was heavily into BSC and Little House on the Prairie. Now that I'm past that, I've kept the Little House books, but I'm trying to get rid of the fifty BSC books I managed to collect. No one wants 'em, they're like Boxcar Children, a phase you go through and then once you're out, you never read the books again. I'm thinking of using them to feed the fires we build in the winter time.

I also went through a Nancy Drew phase, but that passed quickly enough, as I got bored with figuring out the mysteries a third of the way through the book. Then I went through a Chronicles of Narnia phase that really hasn't died out.

Phases I'm still in: Agatha Christie, Chronicles of Narnia, Discworld, James Herriot, some fantasy books.

[Talierin]

I LOVE AGATHA CHRISTIE! But only the Poirot books, don't like Miss Marple. I've prolly read almost if not all the poirot books... love the Mystery eps with him too

[The-Elf-Herself]

I like the Poirot books and the Miss Marple books equally. Miss Marple's so cool. :D

[Dragon]

um.... I don't do phases too well..... is a day a phase?

I've always been interested in dragons and fantasy, so i wouldn't call that a phase, as soon as I realized what video games were, I fell in love w/ them, and once I got an e-mail address, I started surfing the web nightly.... no phases, just lasting obsessions

[HobbitGirl]

Yeah, I went through a BSC phase, and a Boxcar phase, relitively at the same time, actually. I've done Animorphs too; actually I'm still in that phase, I just can't get my hands on any additional books. :( I went through a HUGE Tolkien obsession phase. I mean I ate, slept, and breathed Tolkien. That was last year, when I was just starting on the forum. I'm still into Tolkien, of course, but I have other loves as well. Right now I'm into Wheel of Time. I LOVE those books. And of course, Chronicles of Narnia has been a constant since my tenth birthday, when my dad bought me the whole series. :D

I'm convinced, and several of my friends wholeheartedly agree, that besides your formal boring in-school education, one needs education of a different sort: from the media. Good books and movies need to be introduced early in life, or one does not develop into a functional human being. :D Chronicles of Narnia is the foundation of this education. (I'm thinking of starting a thread on this. :D)

[Kailita]

I just recently stopped getting the American Girl magazine. :rolleyes: Discworld, hmm? Another for the TBR list. I think you spelled pneumonia right, Rhi. ;)

Rogue is my favorite female from the X-Men, but I've developed a deep respect for Storm, heh. She carries that whole Kenya goddess persona...the deep resonating voice, the shock white hair, the awesome powers over the weather, astounding control over her mutant gifts and leadership abilities...yeah. Storm's not bad at all. Then I love Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Beast, and Gambit, but they're all boys.

I got tired of Nancy Drew books for the same reason as you, Jam. They were just too predictable. And they grew a little bland as I got older. But they're not as bad as Trixie Belden, this series that my mom grew up with. They're almost identical to Nancy Drew, but not quite as good. Agatha Christie is definitely high up on my TBR list.

I've loved the Chronicles of Narnia since my parents read me The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe when I was about six. They're wonderful books, and the symbolism is beautiful. HG, I remember your heavy Tolkien phase. :rolleyes:;) Do you remember telling me the abridged version of the Sil over two hours? Of course, that was post-obsession...but still amusing. ;)

Edit: I just realized that this was the ranting thread. :rolleyes: I have multiple rants (three, in fact), but this is a long post already and I will not bend to the evilness of double posting, so I will just wait until someone responds, and then put up my moanings and groanings. I'm sure you'll all just pine away until then. :o:rolleyes:

[The-Elf-Herself]

Yeah, I think Storm's cool NOW Kai, but back then I always thought she was old since she had white hair, and besides I thought Jean Grey was the coolest. Sweet, my Mom read me the Lion, The Witch and the Wardobe when I was about six too!

rant---> I have a new chapter to post and lots of new songs to type up and my parents think I' crazy for not going swimming with them. Hah! Of course, they won't force me, but still, they bug me about it. How can I spell out that WRITING IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE WORLD TO ME? Oh wait, I just did. Now all I have to do is have them read that.:D

[Rhiannon]

I like the Poirot books and the Miss Marple books equally. Miss Marple's so cool.

Hear hear!

Good books and movies need to be introduced early in life, or one does not develop into a functional human being.

HEAR HEAR! My dad read LOTR to me when I was 6. My older brother sat through the entire Chronicles of Narnia when he was 2.

I just recently stopped getting the American Girl magazine.


I still flip through it...my sister gets it now. :rolleyes: Of course, I flip through all the magazines that come through the house except the NRA magazine, and I have been known to get desperate.

RANT: 9 hours in the car with three siblings and massive amounts of luggage. End of story.

(nota bene: I'm not at home yet. We stopped at my grandmother's on the way home and while she and mom are gabbing I am getting through some of my messages. We're going to eat and then drive the rest of the 3 hours home)

[Dragon]

you guys do realize that this is the ranting thread, u guys should b doing this in the who's who thread!

*realizes that she sounds like yay*:eek: :eek: :eek:

*runs off to scrub her hands and mouth*

*is back*

*scurries around deleting postses*

rant---> it turns out someone I have talked about on here (wont say who just in case) knows that I come 2 this site and has looked at my profile, and stuff, so now I must delete all the posts containing *aham* stuff about him:( :( :(

*sigh*

*continues deleting*

man, this will bring my post count down:( :o

EDIT; man, it did bring my post count down, but its ok, I finally finished. it's really hard to hunt down posts u made a month ago... this is all my friends fault, she didn't even stop to think b4 telling him I come here that I might have actually *gasp!*talked about him!!!

[HobbitGirl]

Ack! Poor D! Pure evilness, that is. My brother logged on as me once. Posted a one word post in a very serious rp. I deleted it at once, but the starter of the rp pmed me about it. :o (humilation, humilation) Also, my brother used to be a member of this forum. He posted one post and was banned. :D He deserved it. So my brother is a rant, I guess. Not as annoying as my sister, though. :rolleyes:

[Annushka]

That's disturbing, D!!! But now when you did all that work it'll be OK:)

My brother knows about this forum, but luckily NEVER comes here. In fact he doesn`t really understand what's the point of all this. And I really don`t bother to explain to him.

Is it possible to be banned from here :confused: For what???

[Dragon]

for saying bad words repetitively, for being offensive 4 no reason....yeah, that's pretty much it...

[YayGollum]

Ah. Rants about relatives again. My evil mom lady knows about this place. She's a member and posts every now and then. Mostly debates right now, as far as I know. She does more at the RPG place. Boring war RPGs, though. Ick. She is evil because she ignores what I say about love being bad. Now she's involved with some evil person who's all into being a pagan and things like that. Ick. No offense to Outcasts who are into that, but I was raised differently. So was my evil mom lady. Since when is it a good thing to suddenly switch religions? I thought that people were supposed to have faith. Silly me.

[The-Elf-Herself]

That's nuts Yay. I mean, the whole thing can only really go so far, because there's that big gap difference of opinion part about religions. What's the point if that's always going to be there? Just curious.:rolleyes:

rant---> evil evil EVIL math. As soon as I get a nice high score on my SATs, I am never doing any higher math again(or I'll try not to, at any rate).

[YayGollum]

What whole thing can only go so far? Big gap difference of opinion part about religions? Of course there's a big difference in the two religions. What's the point of what if what's always going to be there? Please excuse my ignorance. I don't know what all of these pronouns are talking about. *hides* Anyways, yes, math is evil. But then, the S.A.T. type tests are easy.

[Kailita]

[rant #1] ---> I've been feeling sick lately. I can't sleep at night, which makes me feel groggy. My head aches. My throat is scratchy. My appetite is all thrown off...I get hungry around 11:30ish, and sometimes in the afternoon after lunch, but that's about it. My mother is being evil and says it's only stress, nerves, and teenage angst. :o:p [/rant #1]

[rant #2] ---> I am so tired of people bagging on Evanescence. Have you heard any of that, Jam? I seem to be hearing it everywhere. "Well, Bring Me to Life was good, but most of their stuff is so dark...and they talk about death and being hollow inside..." Is it so wrong to feel empty once in a while? I'm glad that Evanescence tries to explain the hollowness, because that helps me get that feeling across when I'm stuck in it. Life is not always peaches and cream. Evanescence, though definitely a dark and brooding band, is just trying to be real about that. Urgh. [/rant #2]

[rant #3] ---> Went shopping for shorts with my mother on Thursday. Couldn't find anything that wasn't wedged halfway up...well, you know. Am I the only girl who doesn't wear things five sizes too small for her? Erk. Such an annoyance. [/rant #3]

And now, rant/unrant ---> I'm at 49 bottles! Ack! So close, yet so far away from the glorious 50. I need one more!!

[Rhiannon]

Re Rant #1- aw, feel better soon, sisi! *big-sisterly concern*

Re Rant #2- I haven't ever heard them, but my best friend loves them, so ignore all the evil people.

Re Rant #3- Amen!

Yay, almost 50 bottles!

[The-Elf-Herself]

Well, that'd be my opinion too Yay. Since they're not going to change, that's that and be done with it, has no effect, but I've seen times when it can. I just don't see the point period. Mayeb that's my cynical 'love is bad' side.

Evanescence rocks! I think it comes down to how you experience music Kai. Some people I know use music as a release, so that kind of music helps them feel better because it broods for them. For some people music effects them, so they don't like listening to music that's brooding because they don't want to brood when they're depressed or want someone to brood for them, they want to listen to something happy. Then there are those like Yay and my brother, where music is just music.

I hear you about the clothes Kai! Huzzah for more bottles!

[Kailita]

And huzzah for Outcast girls! Outcast boys are great too, of course ;), but I really need some people to understand where I'm coming from on this whole clothes thing, to understand that I can have a sense of self-worth without dressing like a prostitute! - and other Outcasted girls get that. :D Thank you Jam and Rhi. :)

I think your explanation of music and its effects on people is very true, Jam. Very well put.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Sure thing Kai.

rant---> Fanfiction.net is blocked because the traffic's too heavy

unrant---> having seafood tonight. Also, wrote lots of new songs that are getting great reviews from people who's opinions I really value.

[Talierin]

Happy Rant ---> I went dreaded swimsuit shopping yesterday, and I ACTUALLY FOUND SOMETHING CUTE THAT FITS! It's this black halter top tankini... the bottom was a little small, but I got a pair of cute black shorts to wear over them :D I wore the whole thing to my youth group's beach day today and it was great! So now I'll actually look somewhat good for the waterpark on friday!

And while I'm at it, 37 hours till my boyfriend gets heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeee!

[Dragon]

unrant; he has brown eyes!!! I finally figured it out!!!

to Ks rants;

1, really? me too....weird...

2, ppl r stupid kaia, just remember that.

3,again, ppl r stupid, wear boys shorts, they're cheaper and cooler

tal; really? me too! well, it wasn't recent, but I'm still happy about the fact that it fits and is cute:D

[Rhiannon]

Yay for cute swimsuits that fit! This trip we took was the first time I'd been swimming in pretty close to a year, because I hate being seen in a swimsuit (the last time was right after I got back to the states, when I was staying with my best friend, who is also kind of heavy, and her mom, who is too, and we were going to a pool where I was never going to be again with people I would never see again, so it was all right). But this time I struck on the idea of getting swimming trunks to wear over my swimsuit, to protect the innocent public from my thighs.

So I was decked out in bright blue one piece swimsuit, brighter blue swimming trunks, sunglass, and a big floppy hat. Picture of a shameless geek in action :p

[balrog]

my rant....
just hope my fellow outcasts will wish me luck for wed jul 9
going for an operation on my eye

i hope to return...provided i can still see!

[spirit]

good luck... but why are you getting an onperation on your eye?:(

[Rhiannon]

I just got my rejection letter from Cicada. Bah. I was already in everyone-hates-me-until-proven-otherwise mode, and now I want to go wallow in depression. I was sort of banking on that being my break out story, and all I got was a form rejection- not even a they seriously considered it before rejecting it postcard. That means it only went to one of their teen readers, not to one of the actual editors. Bah. Bah bah bah bah. The only times I've ever gotten an outright rejection were for things that really did suck. This was supposed to be one of my best.

I need chocolate.

[Dragon]

awww, poor rhi!:(

~*hands rhi a superly big chocolate bar and a mug of hot chocolate*~

well, rhi, if it only went 2 the teen readers, then they don't really know if it was any good or not, it could have been read by a complete dufus. at least we know ur good!:)

[Rhiannon]

It's all better! I had chocolate and I read some bibliocrack and I had a brief cry, and my boots arrived- and my boots are seriously kick-tushie. They rule. I'll take pictures soon.

[Dragon]

yes rhi, boots and chocolate make everything better. hey, what about chocolate boots? wait.....that would b nasty...:rolleyes: :D

[Rhiannon]

Yeah, especially with my feet...

[Dragon]

eeewwww.....

I don't wanna think about that too much....:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Annushka]

Good luck Barlog!! Be back soon:):)

Yeh, swimsuits can be very annoying. Both wearing and buying them . Last year it took me forewer to buy one. And even after that it wasn't what I wanted. Anyway UNRANT - this weekend I`m going with my friends to a friend's country house and there is a pool there. So I`ll have to face the problem of wearing a swimsuit again. But that's fine cause 1. it's a question of feeling comfortable with the people you are with 2. I'm ready for anything just to leave the city for couple of days.

Chocolate boots??? There are many better things to do with chocolate than to make boots from it:D

[Dragon]

yes....like eat it, and use it as lipstick....mmmm... I have a peice of chocolate in front of me right now....oh, not anymore:D :D :D

[spirit]

greedy...you could atleast share it with me if you dint ant to share it with the others...:( ;) :p

[Dragon]

I'm srry, but the pull of the chocolate is too strong 2 b denied or forsaken 2 others...(in other words, get your own!!!):D :D :D :rolleyes: :p j/k

[ely]

I hate when people want to change other people, especially when the person they want to change happens to be me... can't they just accept us the way we are?!

Even more I hate that most people only care about appearance, outer beauty...

And I hate it when I have to wake up early in the morning! Wanna sleep longer...:( Fortunately it's summer now, and I can sleep as long as I like:D

[The-Elf-Herself]

Yeah, changing people is bad a lot of them time. It's a universal thing though, pretty much everyone has tried to effect change upon someone else at one time or another. in fact-*realizes she's going to go into a dirge*. Yeah, sleeping in is great.

[Dragon]

sort of rant sort of unrant--->

STEVEN IS HERE!!!!!:D:D:D

hi steven, wont u join us?

[Kailita]

What did you turn into Cicada, Rhi? I'd like to see it. If you say it's your best, I'm sure it's worth seeing.

Originally posted by Ely

The rant of my life, Ely. Someday I will write a book. :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

"You should write a book. How to offend women in five syllables or less." </random memory quote>

Kaia, it was The Story Without End. It's on my Elfwood page, I think you did see it.

[Kailita]

"Did you gain weight?" always works...and that's only four. :D Women can be so paranoid about their weight.

"I like your hair."

:eek: "Are you saying I'm fat??"

:rolleyes:

Oh yes, I did see that one, and I loved it! They didn't like that one?? *Grumble...mutter* Pooheads...:mad:

[Rhiannon]

I figure I'll re-submit it in a few months, now that I'm not traumatized and paranoid anymore and can think rationally and cynically think about these things; Cicada uses teen/YA readers to screen their submissions, since they get so many. Mine didn't get past the screening. So maybe the reader just didn't like fairy tales. I'll try again and hope to get a different screener.

[Kailita]

Sounds like a good idea to me. :)

Umm...rantings.

My dad has been on the computer practically all weekend working, so I haven't been able to do anything fun - e-mail, TTF, write in my journal or my stories (all of which are in files on the computer). *Pout*.

But unrant ---> Dad is now done on the computer. :D Which means I can have it for at least this one day left of the weekend. :)

[Rhiannon]

Yay! That means we get more Kaiaishy goodness! Hurrah! *tackles Kaia and give her a hug-noogie-tickle-thing*

[Kailita]

*Is hug-noogie-tickle-thingished!* :eek:

:D *Loves having a big sister* :D

*Wonders how "Kaiaishy" is supposed to be pronounced...* :confused:

[Rhiannon]

kay-yuh-ish-ee. Kayuhishee! Kayuhishee! *dances happily*

[Dragon]

~*steps slowly away from her sisters and watches them warily*~

rant---> steven is driving me crazy. almost completely in a good way, and then I come here, and I wanna talk about him, and my feelings and stuff, and I can't, cause he knows about this place, and he comes here and reads posts. I know I shoulod b able to tell him some stuff I wanna say here, but I can't, I wanna say it 2 u guys first.....~*sigh*~

ki-i-ay-shee<----I like this better...but, ok...:rolleyes: :D

[Kailita]

*Joins in the chanting with Rhiannon* Kay-yuh-ish-ee! Kay-yuh-ish-ee! *Waves arms about like an Indian war dance* :D

D, us older sibs aren't embarassing you, are we? :D

Steven. Hmm. D, Kaiaishy is in need of some clarification here. Who is this Steven person again?

[Rhiannon]

Kayuhishee! Kayuhishee! *does stomping hoppy-type dance*

Of course we're embarrasing her. That's our job.

Steven is the guy D had to proof TTF from, yes?

Unrant: A friend of mine in the UK just sent me a signed copy of The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde. Woo-hoo! (it's the third book in the Thursday Next series, and it's not out in the states for a while yet).

[Dragon]

psh, embarrassing? I can embarrass myself enough as it is.ha! embarrassing, try walking thru a mall w/ me, heheheh

steven is.....a person...a nice person...yeah...

yes, now I need 2 think of a new siggy.....hmmm....:rolleyes: :o :confused:

[Kailita]

Is Steven an Outcasty-type person? Can we welcome him in and initiate him? Because that might solve the problem. Or should we avoid him at all costs? *Gets all paranoid...* :eek:

MUFASA! Muahaha! Cheers for D's new siggy! :D

We should go mall-shopping together, D. I'm quite interesting in malls. ;) I drag my feet (annoys my mother to no end), break into random verses of song, smile cheesily and wave to people on the escalators, stick my hands in the pockets of boy mannekins' pants (I've gotten in trouble for that more than once :rolleyes: ), and make an elaborate deal of crossing myself when passing by prep hangouts such as Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, AfterThoughts, etc. It would be fun to take you along. :D

[Dragon]

nononononono....yes...no...now I'm confused, lemme try answering these in order...

yes. ask him. no........ I think that works. the reason I was all freaked out about steven knowing about this place is bc I talk about my problems and ppl and other random stuff on here, and one of my other friends told him about it, and I got wacky...where is steven? he was here, now he's gone....he's so sporatic.....:rolleyes: :o

[Rhiannon]

Another unrant: Sabriel is back! We put her outside when we went on our trip, and when we got back she was apparently put out, because she didn't show up. It seems she missed her canned cat food, though.

Kaia, you should come to Wal-Mart with me- I like to sit on Ronald MacDonald's lap, and put my fifteen year old sister in the shopping cart and push her around humming the Imperial Theme from Star Wars. 'Tis fun.

[Dragon]

heh, K, 4 some reason the first time I came 2 this thread it only showed me the first paragraph u wrote, now I must respond 2 the rest, ~*ahem*~

heh, I would love 2 go 2 a mall w/ u sometime K...u too rhi, then we could b the weird adopta-sisters who freak everyone outheh, I like 2 go into the preppy stores and make it look like I'm actually considering buying something, of course, I make a point of wearing all my chains, baggy pants (w/ big pockets) funny shirts, and sometimes even my beanie whenever I go 2 the malls, heh, sometimes I even wear makeup.... (I don't usually wear makeup...)

heh, rhi, I used 2 sit in ronalds lap, but thne my mom decided I was too old and that it embarrassed her....that was when I was oh say.....12? yeah, well, that's y I like molly better (my best friends mom)

oh yeah, and I run down and up the escalators...both of them, either is funny...when u run down the down escalator, it feels almost like ur falling, but ur not, when u run down the up escalator, ppl give u the funniest looks ever! haha...

~*loves her new siggy*~

now I need 2 think up a better deep thoughts, the one I have now is ok...but it must b mahvelous!!!:D :D :D ~*is a little hyper*~

[Rhiannon]

I love sitting in Ronald's lap with my arm around his neck, grinning hugely at people. Once an old man came up and warned me Ronald was married. Really? Then why does he wear those awful socks?

[Dragon]

heh, that's funny, old ppl r funny....no disrespect 2 any1...

maybe bc his wife has 2 leave 4 work first, since he has this easy-schmeasy job, so she doesn't have time 2 complain about his clothes?:confused: :rolleyes: :D :eek:

[Kailita]

Hmm. Sporadic Steven. :rolleyes::D

Ooh, that would be glorious fun! :D

What's really fun is to start riding up the up escalator, then change directions midway and start walking down. You don't go anywhere! I've always found that incredibly fascinating...

(*Is easily amused* :rolleyes::D)

One of my biggest problems at malls is bumping into mannekins, then apologizing profusely for about twenty seconds until I realize that I'm talking to a piece of plastic. :o It's also embarassing when I'm caught zipping and unzipping the boy mannekins' pockets by boys my age (or even worse...from my school...*cringe*). :rolleyes: And I can't tell them to go away because, I mean, it is their clothes section after all.

[Rhiannon]

Pfft. Who cares what they think? Bah. And when we go to the mall we will totally take over the boys section and you can tell whoever you want to get lost. I'll climb up on one of the racks and tie a shirt around my head and yell incomprehensibly at people and throw things at anyone who tries to stop you fiddling with zippers.

So there.

:D:D:D *Laughs and claps* Let's do it! :D:D:D

Rant ---> I had a rant, a really good rant, but I didn't want to double post so I decided to save it...and now, agh, I can't remember it! :mad: Urrghh...

[Rhiannon]

That's right. Let's do it! *practices deep booming voice* You there! Who do you think you are to try and stop the Great Poobah's little sister from messing with zippers??? I don't care if you own the store! Begone, infidel!!!

Rant: It's hooooooooot!!! It's been 100+ degress for the past two weeks- and that's not at noon, either, that's the whole day. Augh, I'm going to die. *hugs air conditioner*

[Dragon]

bah. hot, just stay inside all day, have ready at least three friends w/ air conditioning in case urs goes out, it's always worked 4 me:rolleyes: :D

I'm easily amused 2, K

escalators are amazing machines that can give u hours of entertainment........I wish I had one in my house...:o

hmmm, I barely ever run into anyone from school at the mall.... even tho I'm going 2 a different school next year, I still doubt I'll run into anyone, cause it's in a different, I think the word would b city, but it's not that far...

hah!:D :D :D that's hilarious rhi, psh, I don't c y it's so bad 2 get caught doing things, we are Outcasts!!! this is what we do!!!!:D :rolleyes:

[The-Elf-Herself]

rant---> Geocities won't let me sign in.:( I have no idea why. I was going to upate my page and add your stuff Kai. *glares at Yahoo Geocities* Also, male parental unit is driving me nuts. Female parental unit was on a personal vacation, it's up to me to keep things calm, hah! *counts hours til crazy-hobbit-Mom comes home*

[YayGollum]

Crazy hobbit mom? Sounds scary. oh well. Have fun. Doobedoobedoo... I have a rant. I gots to get to evil college soon. Had to go to some evil orientation thing recently. Uncomfortable beds. Nasssty food. oh well.

[Rhiannon]

My brother is loving college, Yay. I'm looking forward to it next year. The idea is to get an eduction, y'know.

[spirit]

not just education y'know! :D

[Rhiannon]

I like getting an education. I like learning. And I'm looking forward to going and becoming an individual.

[Vixen Evenstar]

Oooo...where we talking about freaking people out? Total strangers? SUCH fun! :D I go around in my neibourhood, talking to horses and picking flowers in my bare feet. I sit in bushes and watch people walk past. Really scared this one lady's dog. :) Lots of fun...

[Dragon]

hmmm, I can't walk around in my bare feet, the grass irritates me, but I like 2 make crowns out of flowers! funness:D

[Annushka]

Yeah, me too. It tickles.

Why is college bad?? It should be fun.

[YayGollum]

I just said that college was bad because of uncomfortable beds and nasssty foods. I never said anything about learning or whatever. *looks sarcastically brainless* The idea is to get an education? No. Really? Wow. I never knew. :rolleyes: That doesn't mean that I have to like it. Oh, Yay for sitting in classrooms and listening to teachers spout out assignments that just waste my time! :rolleyes: Ick. You're not an individual yet, Rhiannon person? I disagree.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Sometimes I can't wait to get to college. Past all this stuff I have to learn that'll have nothing to do with my chosen career. Out on my own, being able to arrange my own schedule. Getting huge amounts of writing assignments and NO math! *grins beautifically* I'm leaning towards this one place that has these big seminars where everyone gets to talk to everyone about all these cool writings; argue, debate, all that stuff. Sounds really interesting.

Since when weren't you an individual Rhian?

[Rhiannon]

My family is really close and really clannish and if you get one of use you get all of us- because I'm homeschooled I'm around my family pretty much 24/7 and hardly ever do things without them, etc. etc. And my older brother and my younger sister are both close to me in age ( 1 and 1/2 yrs, and 2 yrs, respectively) and I'm really close to them, but I've also always felt like I'm either my brother's shadow, or the lump that hangs around next to my vivacious sister. Being a part of my family is my identity.

And yet...I've pretty much decided to go to the same college my brother is going to. But they will send me to Cambridge for a year and the head of the English department had spiked blonde hair and four different copies of Beowulf (also three different copies of Wuthering Heights and only one of Pride and Prejudice, but I forgive her), and I could just tell that she's really interested in all the English majors they've had...which is important to me. I hate the idea of being one out of a thousand.

But then again, my brother- my infamous brother- is going there. When we took part time classes at the high school on base in Japan people were always asking if I was 'Brad's little sister'. Gah. He was famous because he melted a Luke Skywalker action figure as a visual aid in AP Euro.

And...well, I'm intimidated by my family. Go figure. I have an inferiority complex.

Yay, my brother hasn't complained about the beds or the food, but he used to sleep on the floor and has been known to eat cold ravioli out of the can with a paper clip, so...

Unrant: I got to talk to one of my oldest online friends (three years? Four?) on the phone for the first time. It was lovely, though kind of weird at first. But we got over it.

[YayGollum]

Uh, huh. Got it. I would have assumed that you'd have enough of a personality to be thought of as an individual no matter who's relative you happen to be. But oh well. I don't know your relatives. Have fun.

[Dragon]

rhi.....um.....no. being part of ur family is an identication device, and the company u r w/. it is not who u r. I spend almost all my time w/ my friend CC, but the fact that I am always w/ her is not who I am.I am always w/ her bc I had an identity in the first place, otherwise we wouldn't b friends. u r one of the most original and fun people I know. lots of ppl are sheep, one way or another, if u think about it long and hard, w/ u, there's no way

college, I can't wait. I really can't find any really uber-bad things about it, choose ur classes, escape ur evilly paranoid and prying mom. yeah. I can do that.:D :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

What I mean is, other people identify me as being a member of my family. 'Risa's daughter' or 'Brad's little sister' or 'Melody's big sister'. Not 'Charis'.

[Dragon]

well, that's bc ppl r stupid, and if they r stupid, then it doesn't matter. in fact I have been friends w/ too ppl b4 who I later found out 2 b brother and sister, bc I didn't even ask, it doesn't matter 2 me, I don't think I've ever asked "are u so&so's doughter/sister/brother?" the closest I''ve ever come 2 that is "who's ur dad/brother/sister" or, "do u have any siblings that come here?":rolleyes: :o

[Rhiannon]

I just like to be taken on my own terms, I guess. I have an inferiority complex- I'm always convinced people are comparing me (unfavorable) to my siblings. In fact as a rule I'm convinced everyone hates me until proven otherwise. I'm totally paranoid.

[Dragon]

well don't. the only ppl that would do that r stupid ppl (gosh there seem 2 b a lot of those:D) so just don't worry about it. we like u. so hooblah on evil ppls:rolleyes: :o

[stizzle]

hello,this is confusing
how does it work:confused: :confused: :confused:

[Dragon]

well, this is the ranting thread, if u wanna join the GOO, post in the official stuffs thread...

(~*points and mouths*~ this is steven!!!!)

EDIT--> this is the 900th post in this thread, I dunno y, but it feels significant:rolleyes: :D :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Rhiannon]

*waves to stizzle*

Thanks D. People are stupid. Yes, v. good.

[Annushka]

Hi, stizzle!!

She's right. People are not only stupid, they are dangerous, hopelessly disgusting, arrogant, selfish, boring as well. Being around them is a torture sometimes. The saddest part is that I see all these things in me too.

[Rhiannon]

Ah yes- there's the rub. We're just as bad. Only at least we know it.

[Annushka]

I agree. The only difference is that we're able to recognize the simptoms and to accept the real picture. But there's no way to fully control these things.

[Dragon]

nonononono. we are persons. people are stupid...well, some persons are stupid too, but mostly it's people.

persons are individuals. people are like hive minds.:rolleyes: :eek:

[Annushka]

D. that was quite interesting. I'll start to separate people and persons too. That really makes sense:D

UNRANT - the university I'm applying to has this service. It sends job vacancy announcements to all students (technically I'm still a Preparatory program student). For the last 2 weeks I got 145 letters. Most of them don't work for me. But I'm sure in some time I might find something that'll suit me.

RANT - these jobs require work experience. How am I supposed to have work experience if I can't get a job because I don't have any experience (and I've just graduated). Doesn't make any sense:(

[Dragon]

u become an intern. I don't think they pay u 4 it (not sure) but they count it as experience, and so, viola!

....that's a lot of letters shush...

[The-Elf-Herself]

rant---> evil walk-in freezer at work locked me in for fifteen minutes. Brrr! And there's no stinking lock, the thing just wouldn't let me out! I was hammering on the door and pounding on the walls, and pushing the stupid knob and it just wasn't moving! It's only out to get ME though, because no one ELSE has had problems. It only wedges itself shut when I'm inside. Also, I had to defrost and clean out another freezer, huge amounts of work, very tiring, did I mention I'm really not feeling charitable towards freezers?

unrant--> got paid. Money is good.

[Rhiannon]

Ack, Jam! *shudder* that's like my worst nightmare. Eeeek!

[Annushka]

That's really scary:eek: Did you manage not to get crazy?

Rant - tomorrow I've a job interview. Am scared to death. Fortunately it's in the morning. Otherwise I'd feel sick all day long and be all tired by its beginning.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Well, I panicked like a smart chick:rolleyes:, and then focused on getting the dang door opened. I mean, I guess someone would have come out and checked for me, but I didn't know when that would be. I was a bit terrified yes, but I figured, since I was in a freezer with all these raw veggies, I'd die of hypothermia before I'd die of starvation. Yeah, I have a dark sense of humor.

Oh, I'm sure you'll do fine Shush! ;)

[stizzle]

ok i dont know any of you,but i think im part of the Outcasts now,but anyways,im like really new to this(i guess you can consider that my rant) and im guessing annushka=shush
and tho i dont know you i wish you good luck
and being stuck in freezers isnt good

one time i wanted to know what it was like to be burried alive so me and my friend dug a hole and put a box in it and then burried me and then he wouldnt let me out...hes not my friend anymore

so i know how it feels to be traped,but not in a freezer

[Dragon]

hmm, we used 2 get in lockers at school just 4 the fun of it, but we wouldn't lock them, I now know how 2 get out of a locker...useful knowledge, I know:rolleyes: :eek: :o :rolleyes:

good luck shush, if they turn u down, they are'nt worth it:rolleyes: :D

[Annushka]

OK, first thanks everyone!! Something must be really wrong with me. I couldn't find the damned LTD. I'm a big loser:(:( I checked all the buildings in the area, asked 23 people for directions. Nothing. I really don't get it. Nobody has even heard of Rolforma LTD.

stizzle, is that the reason why he's not your friend anymore?:D

[stizzle]

yes thats the reason
after he finaly let me out(20 min later) i calmly stood up
got out of my hole,looked him straight in the eye and said"i hate you" then walked into the house,and we just never talked after that.....actually i never even saw him after that.......ya know people do kill other people while sleep walking.......hhhmmmm

[Rhiannon]

Argh, stizzle- that is Not Good. Very bad of him. I wouldn't want him for a friend.

[Rhiannon]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaargh! *jumps up and down* He touched my books! He touched my books! He messed with my freaking books! Aaaaaugh! *runs around in circles*It's my mom's birthday, right? We're having a surprise party, right? So we're cleaning up, right? My sister is the Valkyrie Cleaning Lady and she's insane, but I'm used to this and I just stay out of her way and vaccume what she tells me to vaccume. Only she's brought my little brother in as her Apprentice Viking Cleaning Boy, and the too of them are going at it heave, ho, grrr, dust! etc., and it's all getting very clean. Now, Rachel knows NOT TO TOUCH MY DESK. I have STUFF sitting on there. It's all ORGANIZED. I have it all in PILES. I NEED that stuff. And Travis comes along and MOVES MY STUFF!!!! He just picked up a load of my stuff of the floor under my desk and tossed it! Hello! Mine! Mine! And he tossed all the books out of order on my desk. Those were STACKED! STACKED! Neatly stacked with the address of the person they were to be sent to in the pages! He had to take a bunch of books out of a mailing envelope in order to throw it away! You'd think he'd get a clue! I had to go dig my addresses and my mailing envelopes out of the trash and sort the books out again! Aaaargh! *jumps up and down* DONT! TOUCH! MY! BOOKS!

*pant*pant*pant*

Okay, I'm done now. *sits down*

[Rhiannon]

I'M BOOOOOOORED! I'M BORED I'M BORED I'M BORED I'M BORED! AAAAAAUGH! *runs around in circles* WHERE IS EVERYBODY? I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S POSTED PRACTICALLY IN DAYS! *hops up and down* WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH MYSELF? HUH? ENTERTAIN ME ENTERTAIN ME ENTERTAIN ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*falls over panting*

[The-Elf-Herself]

rant--->I found out that I really don't like m-um, I can't type the word, too creepy, those bugs with the millions of little crawly legs. *stops typing to shudder* My friend just brought one in and I was curled up in the fetal position in the corner, refusing to look up until it was out of the room. I think tears were even coming out my eyes and I was hyperventilating. So then everyone starts picking on me because I'm terrified of this little, snaky, leggy, thi-aaack! *shakes head to remove mental image* Evil of them.

[Rhiannon]

Millipeds? Ooooh, I hate those too! Ick ick ick ick. I have a serious problem with bugs of all sorts. I can deal with spiders, though, as long as they're not too big. But I've found that my sister, the tough-girl-who-isn't-afraid-of-heights, can't handle spiders. It's sooo funny! "Charis...I need you to come kill this spider in the bath tub for me so I can sterilize it and take a bath!" My favorite method is to 'bomb' the spider with the shampoo- that is, drop the bottle on it. Eeheeheehee. It'll cut the body in half and the legs will still be wiggling when I wipe it up...

Of course these are little house spiders.

[Dragon]

um...rhi...ick.:eek: :eek: :eek:

rant--> my 3 friends that I spend most of my time w/ or talking to or whatever r out of town, it's not fair, I have other friends, but it's just not the same!

stizzle is one of the ppl out of town. I feel so alone!

[Rhiannon]

um...rhi...ick.

Mwahahahaha! :D That's what Rachel says too.

[Dragon]

yeah, things like that r like my trademark, I can say things most ppl would scream in a scorful or even conversational voice, it's really quite amusing, so imagine me someone saying um, rhi, ick in the same way they would say "hello, how r u?"

that's how it would sound;) :D

[Rhiannon]

Heehee, I do that too :D

[Dragon]

everyone who's ever heard me do that either thinks it's really funny or really scary...both of which r good....:rolleyes: :D

[Rhiannon]

Rant: My sister has been a perfect beast all day! She's such a nutcase! And mean!

[Dragon]

um.....how do u b a perfect beast?

it's ok 2 b a nutcase, as long as ur not mean about it:rolleyes: :o

[Rhiannon]

She is mean. She has been grumping at everyone and spitting venom all over the place :mad: And being a perfect beast is...um, perfect is used sort of like 'total'. It's a Britishism.

[Dragon]

yes, but I don't know much britishism, ok, so...yeah, that's what I thought, but I wasn't sure, so...yeah...d...o...t...s...:eek:...:eek:...:eek:: D :rolleyes: :o

[The-Elf-Herself]

rant--> spent an hour working on a post for the debate. Did huge amounts of research and everything. Then, when I was about to post, the computer arbitrarily disconnected me! AAAAAAAUUUGGGHHHHHHH!!!! DEATH TO BILL GATES! DEATH TO MICROSOFT!

[Rhiannon]

Augh! EVIL! EVIL! Did you lose the post Jam? Aargh, how awful! This sounds like an emergency chocolate situation.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Yeah, I lost the entire thing. I worked hard on that sucker. *sniffs* And there's no chocolate around here either!

[Rhiannon]

Aw! *pats Jam comfortingly* That really stinks.

[Dragon]

that's terrible!!!:mad: :(

but then again, ur here!!! yay! a person!!!:D:D:D

well, next time, try typing it on word or exel or something, then copy and paste

[Rhiannon]

Yes, you're here! That's a good thing!

[The-Elf-Herself]

Yeah, I'm going to post tomorrow morning again. Too ticked off to concentrate right now.

[stizzle]

that does stink
but i have a bigger problem
dragon left me! arrgh! and right now shes my whole life
so all i have left are my friends...oh wait theyre all gone too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
must destroy everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[YayGollum]

I noticed that you never got around to posting anything in that debate, The_elf_Herself person. Too bad. Maybe you just weren't able to. I don't know. oh well.

[Kailita]

Rant ---> Spent three weeks in Texas with relatives. Was drowning in country music. Cousins are turning into preppies. (:eek::eek::eek: ) Was very humid.

Unrant ---> Am back now. :) Also have collected 59 bottles!! :D

[stizzle]

texas is good

[Rhiannon]

Yeah, Texas is good!

Country music, however, is not. Eh. And now is not a good time to be in Texas, the heat is killing me in Oklahoma.

[Dragon]

unrant!!!!! I IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok....hi...

texas is.....hot....dry....and texas....country music is blech

how was it humid??? r u sure u were in texas? hummahumma?:confused: :eek: :rolleyes:

[e.Blackstar]

Argh! Augh! Eeek! Nooo! Evil!

Okay then. Well. I just got home from a looooooooooong trip to Iowa (eight grueling hours) and I think that I left my walkman in Iowa! Noooooooooooooooooo!

[Annushka]

Really!! Last year I left my bag with the CDplayer in the bus we were traveling on. The worst is that my whole collection of CD's was in it. One year has passed but I still can't talk about it without wanting to smash everything around:( I HATE losing things!!!! That makes me uncontrolably mad!

[stizzle]

dragons right texas is far from humid,and its not that hot here...........ok everyonce in a while it gets a little hot ......i mean 104 degrees yesterday wasnt that bad....leave me alone!!!!!

[Dragon]

yaarg, it is really hot, we're just used 2 it, have u ever seen ppl from out of state in texas? it's like they're dying:eek:

[Rhiannon]

It actually felt cooler when I was down in Texas. Up here I'm absolutely dying at the same temperature. Go figure.

[Annushka]

Exactly how high is the temperature?

[Rhiannon]

100-110. Ugh.

[Kailita]

Oh blegh. When I was in Texas, it actually got up to 111 once. But that was the highest. It was mainly in the 103-107 range. We even got down to a cool 85 one night. :rolleyes: Here in California, things are WAAAY different. I'm enjoying a nice 60 degree evening right now in the middle of summer, thank you very much. :) It's good to be home.

D, I was in Mesquite (though also in Dallas and Huntsville), and yes it was very humid. Blegh. Yucky. Dallas and Huntsville not as much so.

Country music is definitely a rant. All those people sing about are their horses, their ranches, their boots, their trucks, and their whiskey. :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

I'm enjoying a nice 60 degree evening right now in the middle of summer, thank you very much.

Oh. Shut. UP. *ups the AC* ;)

Country music = evil.

Celtic music = way cool.

Folk music = way cool.

Classical music = way cool.

80s rock music = way cool.

Broadway music = way cool.

Bagpipe music = way cool.

Country music = evil.

I think I agree with most of your list...except for maybe 80s rock. I just can't reconcile myself with the 80s for some reason. Some of it is okay. But I'm not a huge fan of the synthesizer. And the hair and clothes back then...!!

And 70s rock is just funny. :D

[Rhiannon]

Nay, really I hate the 80s myself; I should have said 70s-80s rock. Specifically I like Styx, and some Queen.

I also like Simon & Garfunkel.

[Talierin]

Generally, any oldies music is good...

My absolute favorite 70s band is ABBA :D I have almost all their albums on cd, and I've started collecting the old vinyls as I find them at thrift stores... *runs off singing Mamma Mia*

But currently my absolute favorite band ever is the Orange County Supertones... Christian Ska, woohoo!

[BranMuffin]

Tal you should look into Five Iron Frenzy, they are another Christian ska band and The W's if you like swing.

[Talierin]

Yeah, I'd like to hear FIF, but Mac doesn't have any and I'm too lazy and too poor to buy a cd ;)

[BranMuffin]

I'll let him borrow mine tonight for ya.

[Kailita]

Christian ska! Viva! :D

Five Iron Frenzy...never heard their music, but they have a cool name. ;)

Christian rock is also good to check into. Switchfoot...Kutless...Skillet. Good stuff. :D

[Rhiannon]

I really like LaRue.

[Kailita]

Oh, LaRue...they're very very good. But their song Ok to Cry...well...makes me cry.

[BranMuffin]

Tal, did Mac get the cds to you? I gave him two of them Five Iron Frenzy and the Insyderz.

I've heard OF LaRue but probably haven't heard them.
*need's to revamp the Reliant K thread*

[Talierin]

Aye, he sent me the live FIF one last night, along with Pirates of the Caribbean... I'll prolly get the other one from him tonight, we usually only send two cds at a time cause they take awhile to send. FIF was interesting to say the least, hehehe... still like the Supertones' sound a bit better though

[BranMuffin]

Yeah me too. But they are still a ska band. The Insyderz is a long CD with a couple ska styled praise and worship songs. It's cool.

[Kailita]

They can't make me go back to school! NOOOOO! I refuse! *Clings for dear life to her computer table as the school administration tries to pry her off and carry her back, kicking and screaming, to highschool for another year...*

Aiieee! How can summer be drawing to a close ALREADY?!

[/rant]

[BranMuffin]

My real life sisters are already in school. They've been in for about a week now. Crazy school, it started on a Thursday...a Thursday.

[Kailita]

:confused:

Insanity.

Our school starts on Monday...not this Monday, but the next. But what really stinks is that the elementary/junior high district - which my brothers (grades 3 & 7) are in - don't start until Wednesday! :eek::mad: So I have to go back two days before them! Ergh.

[Dragon]

rant--> my head hurts and my mom is being evil...

:mad: :(

[Rhiannon]

Poor D *hugs*

I've started my classes this week. Review of basic grammar in English Comp 1 = booooring. And the teacher seems nice enough, but he's going to be very picky about form on our essays. Aw man, I hate that. I just don't write that way! Economics 1 teacher seems very nice, and the class might actually be a little interesting in spite of the subject. Early US History is of course good- I made sure to get the same teacher I had for late US History last Spring, and he's an excellent lecterer, very interesting, especially on military history.

And my classes started on a Wednesday.

Also my ID isn't hideous! It's amazing. My ID last year was hideous either- all the other ID pictures I've ever had my whole life (and I've had lots- military IDs, passport, driving permit...ALL hideous and awful and inspiring me to go "Augh! Troll! Troll!" every time I look at them...)

But rant: Eek, driving, scary! I drove in town-town for the first time today, as in four lane highway, and pulled out in to the wrong lane *wince* You know you're going the wrong way when there are cars coming STRAIGHT AT YOU. I didn't hit anything, though, just was mortally embarrased because it was a stupid and potentially dangerous mistake.

[Dragon]

.... that's... not good, rhi...

rant--> AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like the whole state of texas went 2 a party and I wasn't invited. I've called all the ppl whose numbers I know, and some whose I don't. no one hads e-mailed me in the last 2 days. I am alone except 4 u guys.... and u guys may not even b alive. urg. I want out of my hole!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Rhiannon]

*throws arms around D* It's okay, we love you! Even if we're figments of your imagination, we are GOOD figments!

[Dragon]

:D :D :D :D :D

it's funny that u should say that, bc my friend CC always says that she's a 40 year old woman in a mental institution, and all the ppl she's ever met are simply figments of her imagination... and I'm her strongest figment *beams*


yes, u r good figments, u actually have personalities and everything!!! wow! I'm an artist:rolleyes: :eek: :D

[YayGollum]

I also have an evil and school related rant ---> I just got to my nasssty college place. Bad food. oh well. Easy classes, it looks like. Shall start on Thursday. I have no idea how often I'd be able to show up in these types of places yet, but oh well. Shall find out and show up when I can.

[Rhiannon]

Good luck, Yay!

[Dragon]

hey look! it's yay!

u haven't been around much lately...

[Annushka]

And it looks like he's not going to show up often:(

Anyway, good luck, Yay.

[Kailita]

Yay, is you really going to college? :eek: Ohmygoshness! Well, good luck! What are you majoring in? And don't forget about us little people...:)

[Dragon]

what college, yay?:confused:

[YayGollum]

Do what? I've been around. I post when I'm interested in things. You people just haven't been interesting lately. No offense. Anyways, no, I'm sure that I'll be able to show up every day as usual. It'll just be a chore for me to work things into evil schedules. oh well. I have this evil and boring Human Resource Management thing as a major. The college I am going to (wonders why anyone would care) is called Anderson College.

[Dragon]

if u think it's boring, y r u going 2 major in it?

[Kailita]

What in the world is Human Resource Management? :confused:

[YayGollum]

It's my major even though it's boring just because it seems to me to be an easy and sure thing to have to deal with. Anyways, I have some theater thing as a minor, so I'll get to have fun, too. Human Resource Management = hiring and firing type things. Some kind of crazy manager. Good leadership skills necessary. *hides*

[BranMuffin]

Agh little sis is driving Agh internet sis is driving Aghhhh....Ok I'm alright.
Rhi what type of school do you go to?
College is a whole lot better than High school. FREEEEEDOOOOOMMMMM!

[Rhiannon]

Aaaaaah! Yay is going to be Catbert!!!

Agh little sis is driving Agh internet sis is driving Aghhhh....Ok I'm alright.

Just remember to keep breathing, you'll be fine ;) I'm really a very good driver, except for the pulling in to the wrong lane thing, which I won't do again. I just need more practice in town.

I'm taking classes at the local community college for concurrent high school/college credits; Basic Economy I, English Composition I, and early US History (I took late US History in the spring). Very close and convenient and things, and all my teachers seem nice, although I just know the English Comp. teacher is going to drive me mad. He's the anal-retentive details sort. He's actually a lot like my Sophomore Honors English teacher, only less small and flaky; and I hated that teacher because of he gave my brilliant Antigone essay a B because I didn't address the family relations, which weren't part of the essay question anyway. Bah humbug.

...but of course that was three years ago and I'm a senior now and mature and things.

[Talierin]

I'm driving too! Get my license in September, whee...

My college major is very cool if you ask me! I'm doing Graphic Design :D Start August 25th

[Rhiannon]

Yay for Tal! That does sound cool. Any word on that graphics design job thing you mentioned way way back?

[BranMuffin]

Originally posted by Rhiannon

Mature....Riiiiight....

Hmmm, Tal driving....the real question is will Tal be driving when she comes down here? I start school then, too. My gf doesn't start till Sept. 11 yay for me but then she has to go....to a different town and it's an hour and a half drive away....:( :( :(
But I have cell phone yeah;) :) :D

[YayGollum]

Is something wrong with Catbert? Catbert is the coolest. I plan to get a sign just like his. Anyways, rant ---> There's a dart board without any darts over here. Is annoying.

[Rhiannon]

So....get some darts?

Nothing wrong with Catbert. Love Catbert. But Catbert + Yay = SCARY.

[Annushka]

Who's Catbert??? If someone tells me I'll understand why exactly Catbert+Yay=scary:D

[Talierin]

Catbert is the evil human resource director from the Dilbert comic strip... yay is now creepier than I once thought he was ;)

And I don't know if I'll be driving while I'm down there... might be nice if I can, cause then we can go places!

[BranMuffin]

Really, Tal. You're gonna go places, huh. There isn't anywhere to go to really. There is a reason why everyone calls our town SLOWcala. Though being able to get out is better than being stuck at home I guess.

[Talierin]

Well, maybe not in Ocala, but we wanted to go to Busch Gardens, the Apple Store, beach, etc

[BranMuffin]

Ahhhh, What better place for a romantic get-a-way than your nearby Apple store. Color coordinate with your mate. LAN with your PAL. Shop for a new cover with your lover. Give your iBook and your loved one another look. Just come on down to Apple computer stores where the service sucks but the computers still look nice. Open all the time except when you need them, weekends, and weekdays.

[Talierin]

rotfl! *falls off chair* that was too funny!


Heheh, it's kind of the tradition with mac and I now, gotta go to the apple store! He was hugging all the comps when we went in July, it was quite funny.... :D

[Dragon]

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

~*snorts*~ ~*chokes*~

wow bran, u could go into stand-up comedy:D

[The-Elf-Herself]

Catbert's great, Dogbert is cooler though. Waaaaay cooler. You're going into Human Resources Yay? *snorts down her laughter* Sounds very dull. Why would you want to go into something that dull? Even though it's probably easy money. Wait, for a moment I forgot who I was talking to.:rolleyes: Mr. Miserly.;) Why not go for something that you love AND that's going to make lots of money? Hunh.

[Rhiannon]

Bran! Hahahahaha! *applause*

Yeah, Dogbert is way cooler. And I like Alice!

Rant: AAAAAAAURGH! Homeschoolers are not socially stunted! We are not limited! We are not totally lacking in any kind of diversity! I have more sense of culture than any of the public school kids I've ever met! AND I'm smarter than all of them, including most of the people at the college here!

[BranMuffin]

*Bows* Thank you. Thank you.

Yeah, Tal. That sounds like something MacAddict would do. What is it about men and electronics that makes them so giddy?

Who said Homeschoolers were socially stunted? I don't think they are and Mac doesn't think so either(seeing as he is one).
