Outcast-Type Things Done

[YayGollum]

Ack! Everybody has an accent to somebody that you think has an accent! oh well. Yes, styrofoam makes a sound. It doesn't bother me, but it's fun to see what it does to some people. :eek: :rolleyes:

[Kailita]

*Has never heard a sound from styrofoam...* :confused:

Is this like that hearing the TV on mute thing? *Feels unspecial again*

[YayGollum]

I wouldn't think it's like that. Styrofoam makes a noise when you rub two pieces together, I guess. It's nothing special. oh well. Those little packing peanut things dissolve if you toss them in fingernail polish remover. *wonders where that random fact came from* :rolleyes:

[Saucy]

i liketo eat styrophoam!

Ooh...that's so cool...:D

I like to pop the little packing peanut things. But dissolving them would be good, too! :D

[Frodorocks]

This one time I took a whole bunch of packing peanuts (the starch kind) and licked them and stuck them together and built a little ship, and then I put it in water to see how long it would take for it to dissolve. Yeah, powersauce, British accents are cool. But when most people think of British accents they usually think of English ones. Those are cool too, but Scottish ones are much better. I'm going to pick up a Scottish accent one day.:)

[Wonko The Sane]

And I'm going to pick up an English one! :) SCORE!!

And Roxie...you'll never believe it...but my roommate and I made stuff out of packing peanuts all the time.

We even taped them to our walls for decoration along with bubble wrap and those free AOL CDs. :)
We're so cool.

Ooh, and we made a microphone and stand out of a pizza box, wrapping paper tubes, a paper towel tube, and duct tape.
And I made her a rubber band banjo out of a few rubber bands, a kleenex box, and a papertowel tube!

[Frodorocks]

Yay for the queen of junk reusage, Wonko the Sane!:D

[Kailita]

Whoa...way to recycle...:D

[Dragon]

Ohmygoodnessgraciouscrazygoshness!!!!!!!

It's like I've completely vanished from existence!!!!!!

Where did I go!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Wonko The Sane]

Score thank you!!! :)

We had SOO much fun in that room.

My side of the room was the craziest...my roommate didn't ALWAYS agree about my decorating preferences.


AAH! POST 2222!!! :) SCORE!

I missed you, D! You weren't forgotten! :D

[Frodorocks]

Was I forgotten?:D Ick, don't listen to friends like that
Wonks, they don't understand the art of insanity.:D

[Kailita]

No, Rockie, I could never forget you either. ;)

Speaking of missing outcastses...I haven't seen Jam around in a while...hmm...

[The-Elf-Herself]

*Pokes head back in*

Oh I'm here alright, but I tend to stay quiet unless I've really got something to say. Besides, been busy with all those last-minute assingments and junk. Huzzah, creamed some people at the fencing tournament today! Team motto: it doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you kick butt! Huzzah for coming in second! The girl that took first place was really really superly good, must have a talk with her so I can learn how to counter her attacks. Also, went to really nice place to eat, had steak and mushrooms marinated in wine and cheesecake too. In a very good mood right now.

[Kailita]

Sounds like a motto to me! :D Fencing tournaments...how lovely-nice...those are the coolest to watch...

[The-Elf-Herself]

Yeah, and they're equally fun to participate in. The only thing that ruins it is lousy coachs yelling instructions to their student who happens to be YOUR opponent. This one guy did that, then walked around till he was right next to me outside the strip and continued yelling. Completely threw me off and I lost the bout, which was really irritating since I was about to win. I could have told the ref. but I didn't know that at the time. Fortunately the next time one of his precious pupils got up I ignored him and smoked her. :D Ooops, this sounds like it should go on the rant thread. Ah well.

[Saucy]

ARE U SURE NOBODY HERE HAS SEEN MY CRAZINESS? it's seems to of disapeared?

[Lossengondiel]

***HARK***

Has anyone seen powersauce's craziness? it seems to have been misplaced somewhere...

In the meantime would you like to borrow some of my craziness?? I seem to always have a lot of it. :D

Hmm...what's something crazy I have done lately? I spent the last ten days in flip flops CONSTANTLY, all day and everywhere. I bet that is more stupid than strange, hmm...oh, I got it! heh heh I like to eat the little green decoration leaves that come with all the fancy-smancy meals. it tastes quite good actually. Then I pick apart the meals of what I don't want to eat.

I am sooooo strange! possibly stupid, but strange...

[Kailita]

Probably both, Lossen. :rolleyes: But that's okay, I'm the same way! :D

Cheers for Jam SMOKING (I love that word :D) people in fencing! Yeah! :cool:

I wish I could smoke someone at something...:(

I'm not very competitive...which means I lose at lots of fiery competitive things...but I've gotten used to it. Oh crackers. :rolleyes: Well...there's always the card game Spoons. I play a mean game of Spoons. :p I never lose. :D;)

[YayGollum]

Never heard of it. oh well. Have fun. I'm not into too many competitions. Mostly the trivia types. *hides*

[Kailita]

Spoons is a pretty cool, superly easy game to play, as long as you can pay attention to more than one thing at a time. Funness. :) Hmm...I'm usually okay at card games, as far as winning...I actually won twice at BS with my friends on Friday. (Heh...we have no life...we play cards at lunch. :rolleyes::D)

[YayGollum]

Whatever you say. Yay for Mao! There was a thread about it in that Stuff and Bother section a while ago. oh well. Anyways, I am a Latin convention and chess champion. *hangs head in shame*

[HobbitGirl]

Chess is the best! I suck at the game, but I love it. I like how it's all skill and no luck, cause with games of luck I always lose. :D Yay for Yay being a chess champ! :D

[YayGollum]

Since when is it all skill and no luck? That's the only reason I ever win the thing. :rolleyes: I always go for the good players when they're tired and hungry. :eek: :rolleyes: That's why I have three trophies from when I was in school. Some of those guys were good! *hides*

[The-Elf-Herself]

Oooh, I love Spoons! I play killer Spoons with my friends, lots of fun. Huzzah for latin! I'd love to learn that, but nobody teaches it around here.

[YayGollum]

Senex MacDonald agrum habuit

E. I. E. I. O. :rolleyes:

Et in agro bovum habuit

E. I. E. I. O. :rolleyes:

*** moo moo ubi

Ubi moo, ibi moo

Senex MacDonald agrum habuit

E. I. E. I. O.

There ya go. Bovum = cow. :D

[The-Elf-Herself]

Haha! Thanks Yay. One word, how very useful. Now when I come upon an amish farm I can point at a cow and say "bovum". :rolleyes: :D

[Frodorocks]

He he, RD had a thread with lots of Latin quotes. Great things like, "In the good old days, children like you were left on windswept crags." I have them written down somewhere.:D I love fencing, but I've never learned how to play chess. Oh well. I can beat anybody in a rolling down a hill race. :p Go me.:rolleyes:

[YayGollum]

Ack! Please don't tell me that you can't figure out what the rest of those words mean! oh well. Yes, even though I'm not a big fan of the superly evilly sarcastic Rangerdave person, that list was cool.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Sure I did. I was being sarcastic, since that was the only word you spelled out like this "_=_". Superly tired because of DST, so in a seriously sarcastic mood.

[YayGollum]

D.S.T.? *has no idea if he's achingly unintelligent for not knowing what that's supposed to be*

[The-Elf-Herself]

Daylight Savings Time, the bane of my existence. Gah! I hate it when they always switch the times! The Amish around here refuse to convert to DST, they call it Diefelzeit, which means "Devil's time" in PennDutch and I completely agree with them. I waste a whole week trying to adjust.

[YayGollum]

Huh. I would think that the idea was superly useful. Something about saving wax. :rolleyes: oh well. Whatever you say. Daylight savings time is evil. Yay for insomnia making it so you don't notice! :D

[Lossengondiel]

Nassty daylight savings time. I always cant fall asleep then because everything is sooo furshnickity (like the word? i made it up myself. score 1 for Loss!)

[YayGollum]

Am I crazy for thinking that I've heard that word before? oh well. sorry about the problems you people have with daylight savings time. Yay for getting to look forward to the next clock changing, right? :D

[The-Elf-Herself]

Nah, I can't do that because then I'm looking forward to school starting again, and who wants to do that? I just deal.

[Lossengondiel]

Ugh, thank goodness for no more time changing for a long while

[YayGollum]

Well, the next time change will be for the better, lady. Anyways, Yay for not being in school anymore! :D *hides*

[kohaku]

funny. i was in mexico a few weeks ago which is one hour behind my time zone. so i had to get used to their time, then readjust to my time, then a few weeks later they change our time. oh well.

[Lossengondiel]

Whadya mean no more school anymore?

Yay...have you been skipping school? lol :D

[YayGollum]

I would think that that would be cool for you, crazy kohaku person. It cancelled itself out. oh well. By no school, crazy lady, I meant no school. I'm out. Many people over here are.

[kohaku]

nah, they don't really cancel out, i just had to adjust three different times. first i had to deal with everything being an hour early for a week, and once i was used to that i had to deal with everything being an hour later when i came back. once i was used to that, it happened again with the time change.

[YayGollum]

Ah. Got it. oh well. I'm a crazy person. Let me see here. What else can I talk about besides time changing? Are any of you crazy Outcasts messing with that creepy council of nine thing? I think that if the moderators had been doing an excellent job, the idea for this thing wouldn't have even come up.

[Lossengondiel]

Wanna hear something crazy I did?

I was in gym class on a treadmill for the period, and when the lady-teacher-person came over to check off my heart rate, and I turned ever so slightly to give her my chart and I stubbed my foor, fell, and shot off the back of the treadmill and landed on my you-know-what in front of everyone.

heh heh I am genius....

[YayGollum]

Landed on your face? :confused:

[Lossengondiel]

heh heh not quite...try again

[YayGollum]

Hm. Back? oh well. I can't make a post that small.

[Lossengondiel]

Nope, my oh-so-lovely be-hind.

Heh heh that was a classic moment

[Kailita]

Lovely-nice, Lossen. Quite the graceful one, you are. :)

I have a love-hate relationship with Daylight Saving's Time. I love that it stays lighter longer...but I hate that I have to be cooped up inside doing schoolwork instead of outside taking long walks and enjoying it. I also don't like it being so much darker in the mornings...harder to get up. Blegh.

[Lossengondiel]

Graceful I am not

[Kailita]

Neither am I. I'm that girl who always gets caught up in what she's saying and the hand movements that go along with it, then forgets to look ahead and runs into a pole. :rolleyes:

However, graceful or not, I somehow managed to make the advanced dance class at school! :):D *Is so happy*! I don't know how I did it...considering that I ran into the wall twice when we were doing turns...but I guess they liked me! :) Which means no more PE! I get PE credit for dance instead now! :D

[The-Elf-Herself]

Been there. It's very embarrassing, especially since I try to be graceful. I'm tall, so when I first started sprouting up I was knocking over everything. I broke so many things. Now I'm pretty good about that, but I still end up banging my head against things or tripping over my own two feet when I'm not careful.
Huzzah! I used to take modern dance, lots of fun. Not as cool as fencing, but still fun. :D

[Kailita]

I think I would agree, if I took fencing. :)

Hmm...today the school voted for the ASB officers. (Forget what ASB stands for :rolleyes:...something Student Body, I think.) Being anti-social, I don't usually do that sort of thing, unless there's an officer that I really want "in power". I guess I have better things to do with my lunchtime then wait in superly long lines just to fill in a ballot to elect people who really have no influence on the school anyway, besides what goes into pep rallies and what colors the homecoming float should be. :rolleyes: And...do I go to pep rallies? Do I go to float meetings? Umm...no. :rolleyes: I never complain about ASB or the officers, since I figure I have no place to complain if I don't take the trouble to vote, but really their decisions don't effect me much, so I never have much cause to complain anyway.

Anyhow, there was this scarily enthusiastic girl with bleachy platinum-streaked hair trying to convince me and some of my friends to vote for her for treasurer today at school at lunch. Too bouncy. Shiver. I felt bad for her, though, heh...she didn't know how brutal some of my friends can be toward overly-social people. But we were mostly polite. Listened to her little speech thingy, nodded our heads, then calmly explained how we were anti-social and didn't do that sort of thing. She didn't seem to see our reasoning.

"But...but...I thought everybody loves pep rallies!" she stammered. We laughed. I tried not to. Like I said, I felt bad for her. She just didn't understand our side of the spectrum.

But then, when she went on to promise us that she would support our anti-social point of view if she was elected to ASB, I couldn't help laughing along. Craziness.

[Dragon]

how do you support an anti-social point of view?

if people are anti-social, how do you even find out their veiwso you can support it? you don't!!!! stupid bubbly people:rolleyes:

[Frodorocks]

I like pep rallies just because I like to scream at the top of my lungs.:D Also, I totally agree about the graceful thing, I walk into walls and trip over nothing.:p

[YayGollum]

Sounds like a scary lady to me, crazy Kailita person! oh well. People always used to ask me to vote for them and since I could care less, I just toss an oozingly sarcastic ---> Oh, I will vote for you! at them and leave. They are offended and run away. oh well. Yay for anti-social people! :D I'm trying to be nice to these crazy council of nine types when they PM me. Anyways, Ick. Nasssty pep rallies! Teachers would always find me hiding out somewhere with a book and escort me to the evil place. *sniff* oh well.

[Dragon]

well, I'm not in high school yet (next year;) ) so I haven't had the chance to go to a pep rally, but they don't sound like much fun to me....I think when they come around, I'll make like Yay does and hide with a book somewhere.....

[The-Elf-Herself]

*is ever grateful that she's not in school and so doesn't have to deal with nassssty pep rallies. They seem dumb anyway.*

[Dragon]

yes, is good to be grateful for absence of pep rallies...

[YayGollum]

I have hidden in the library and my Latin class many a time to escape the madness that is a pep rally. Guess what I did? If you guessed ---> Read a book or come here, you are right! You win nothing! Yay!

[Kailita]

Tee hee...yes, yes, silliness. You have to feel sorry for them, though...you have to be patient. They just don't understand, that's all. :rolleyes: And it's not just the bubbliness that bugs me...one of my best friends is quite bubbly (then again, she's probably the closest to being social in our group...ack)...it's the bubbliness added with the preppy peppiness...ick. :o:p

I like pep rallies, too. I love them! :D Because they give us an hour block to miss class, hang out in the hallways, wreak havoc, and play cards (Spoons! Mau! BS! Hearts! :D) while all the other (normal and sane) people actually go to the pep rallies. :rolleyes: At our school, we have the choice of attending the pep rally or not, THANK GOD. If we don't want to go, the hour they cut out of class for the pep rally is ours to dispose of as we please.

Oh Yay...poor, poor Yay...to be forced into going to a pep rally...oh, the horror! :eek:

[HobbitGirl]

<sobs because she realizes the horrors in store for her>

I am going to high school next year. I predicit that they will force us to go to pep rallies. If only you know how horribly, horribly control-freakish and peppy the admisistration was, you would scream. I have. AND EVEN WORSE, the principal has taken a liking to me. I'm a principal's pet. <vomits> I try to avoid the admistration, yet it happened, and I don't see how. Perhaps it is because around here everyone knows everything about everyone else. <shivers, then vomits again> Never move to Salt Lake!

[YayGollum]

Yikes! A school with options? Sounds mythical. oh well. It's not too bad sitting at the back of the bleachers and reading a book while everyone else proves that there's strenght and stupidity in numbers. The people next to me think I'm crazy. :rolleyes: Anyways, what's so bad about adults being friendly in Salt Lake City? :confused: Or are they just annoyingly and achingly friendly and you could care less about them even though the fact that they think you're cool could be helpful?

[Kailita]

Yes, our school lets us choose to attend pep rallies or not. But that's about the only thing we have a choice in. It makes up for that one good thing with plenty of other bad things...:rolleyes:

Yipes! HG, you're a principal's pet? :eek: How did that happen? :confused: The way that society is and the way you are...I would think that the principal would absolutely hate you. Scary. Well, you can always find a way to work the situation to your advantage...:rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

Pep rallies are evil. I had to go to some because I was in the choir and we sang the anthems. *shudder* I do. not. get. highschool. I don't get football, I don't get small towns, I do not get the combination of small towns and high school football...

Stuff I do...he he he

Well, I read, for one thing. For fun. And blow all my money on books. I listen to almost no music made in the last decade; just short of the last two decades. When I was 9 I made an entire nativity set out of leaves. A year or two ago, I dressed my younger sister up and took a whole roll of posed photos of her for use in my attempts at artwork. A few nights ago, my sister and I randomly acted out several scenes out of my Complete Works of Willy S(hakespeare), and were very awful, especially when she kept laughing during Macbeth's lines. And just the other night, I went to Wal-Mart at midnight wearing red plaid pajama pants and a bright turqoise shirt with a Hispanic Shakespeare on the shoulder (it was from a drama competition and the coloring didn't work out right).

[Kailita]

Oh Rhiannon...*grins and shakes her head*...it's about time you joined GOO. :rolleyes: You need somewhere to channel your craziness into...;)

Me neither. I live in quite a small town in California...and one of the main attractions here is our highschool football team, which has gotten rather good this year and last. So, naturally, the whole town rallies around the team, and if you're not a football fan, you're completely shunned. Doesn't leave much room for us anti-social people to move about. :rolleyes:

I wish I had a sister to do that with :(...that would be so awesome. My brothers don't really do that sort of thing...especially not with Willy S. (That's a great one...;))

[Rhiannon]

You need somewhere to channel your craziness into...

Well, I'm the Ruler and Grand Poobah Originator of the Book-End Manor and Island, which is a fictional island centering on a large manor full of books, and populated by my various minions, including but not limited to The Benevolent Anarchist Librarian (Among Other Things), The Perpetual Student (and her minions), Her Clankyness the Armoress Extraordinare and co-Keeper of the Oven Mitts, The Wooden Spoon, War-Leader of the Imaginary Chocolate Minions, Head Satirist and Master of Sarcasm and Irony of the University of Cynics (my brother- Spoon because he stirs up much trouble), and Her Ladyship of the Quill and Brush, Official Artist of the Great Poobah, and The Great Royal Sculptress, empowered by the Great Poobah to make weird bronze-and-stick things of a vaguely sinister nature.
The Great Poobah speaks in the third person, encourages both weirdness and the reading of many books, and bestows titles on people. Also wears big hat.

I didn't mentioned the times I've done things like dance and sing in Tokyo subways and bribed a Wal-Mart employee to give me an LOTR sign.

[Wonko The Sane]

Weird things I do:

When I sleep in too late I wait until like 6 to shower and then I put on make up and get all dressed up and go watch TV.

That's pretty outcast-y of me. I get all dressed up and then do absolutely nothing.

Cool...and stupid at the same time.

I wonder if my X-Files is still on.

[YayGollum]

Sounds like a bunch of craziness to me, Rhiannon person. I mean, Oo! Interesting! *hides* That thing of yours, crazy Wonko person, I wouldn't say it was cool. Whoops! *runs away* Sounds like something I'd do, though. Getting ready for my day, not putting on make up and getting all dressed up. :rolleyes:

[Dragon]

hmmm..I dont put on make-up at all unless I really feel like being extra pretty because I feel like its a waste of time......but thats just me...

Rhiannon.....extra GOOey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The-Elf-Herself]

Hmmm. I hate getting all dressed up. I dress for comfort and what I like, dresses and skirts are definitely outside that restriction. One day all the girls at supple. classes decided to dress up for no particular reason and I purposely dressed down, in graffiti khaki pants, a fencing tee, and old sneakers. Crazy people, why dress up when you don't have to? Never understood that.

[Frodorocks]

I know, I don't like to dress up. I'd wear hip hugger jean bell bottoms every day of my life if I could.:D With big holes in the knees. I never put on makeup when I want to feel extra pretty, for I am not good at putting makeup on, and would probably end up looking like a clown.:D Lip gloss and the occasional glitter is good enough for me. I like glitter.:) It's sparkly.

[Kailita]

Ditto.

Originally posted by The-Elf-Herself

Double ditto.

Ick...make-up...I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've worn make-up. And every time it's been by force. (Evil mother...evil girly friends...:rolleyes::p) Let's see...my campaign against make-up: it makes me feel like I have cake on my face, it takes forever to deal with, why spend money on make-up when I could spend it on music or books?, it gets messed up easily, etc. etc..

My campaign against skirts/dresses: Well, basically just that they're restricting. I love to sit with my legs apart - I dunno, it's just comfortable and natural for me - and I certainly can't do that in a skirt or a dress. The only time I wear them is to church, and that's only because my mom makes me. I guess one plus you can give to skirts is that they're very airy and breezy and such, though.

For Outcasts who like skirts, dresses, and make-up (c'mon Yay...I know you like to wear the occasional skirt every now and then...;)): I say if you like it, go for it. Whatever makes you feel comfortable. I don't feel comfortable with those kinds of things, so I don't wear them. But if you like them, then rock on. :)

[Rhiannon]

I don't like to wear make-up; I break out enough without its help. And I like skirts well enough, but only long, and only full enough to walk properly in, and only on Sunday. And never with heels. Heels belong to the Antichrist. They are the invention of the devil- or the French, whichever's worse. I think it was the French. Anyway, heels are satanic and I never wear them. Clunky heels I can handle, especially on boots. Boots are wonderful. Boots are heavenly. The Great Poobah loves boots. Looooooves boots. Especially knee high boots. Knee high boots are to die for.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Oh boots are an entirely different matter. Boots are great. :) I agree, heels are possibly the worst invention of our time. How they ever lasted is beyond me.

[kohaku]

yay! i was beginning to think i was the only girl in the world who never ever ever wears makeup. i own nothing of the sort... no makeup, no hair gel or blow dryer or curler. I'm 21 and not once in my life have i used a curler. For me, its boots or tennis shoes... occasionally sandals. I consider it "dressed up" when i wear nice black pants, something besides a t-shirt, and earrings. Whatever that says about me.

[Rhiannon]

Make up is one of the lesser evils. Blow dryers, now THOSE are antichrists. Hair gel the same. Curlers I can deal with if someone else puts them in- I can't put stuff in my own hair. Totally helpless. I end up strangling myself.

[Wonko The Sane]

I never curl my hair, I never dry it, and I only gell it if I care...which wait..is never.

I don't do anything to my hair except put it in a pony-tail or sit still to have somebody turn it redder.

And about makeup: I'm really unnattractive and I need all the help I can get. I feel naked without makeup. I never dress up...I'm too self conscious...I'm all not thin and stuff and I get scared that if I wear my nice jeans or my nice skirts or something that everyone will see how yucky I look.
So it's baggy jeans and big sweatshirts for me. (Case in point ALL my pix in the forum photo album.)
I just don't feel comfortable when I dress up.
Plus all my jeans are so tight around the waist...I hate that feeling. :(
I don't dress up for the same reason I wear makeup all the time: I'm ugly. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

And no I'm not fishing for compliments and I don't want any, "You're not ugly" comments...Cos I won't listen.
And I don't wanna hear it.

[Rhiannon]

That's me too. I don't have to look at myself all the time, though, and I'm not forcing anybody to look at me, and make-up takes up a lot of time and feels icky, so I only bother when I feel like putting out the effort to make myself half-way presentable (no small task- I've got one of those squished-potatoe looking faces. No definition at all).

[Wonko The Sane]

Yeah...pretty much..except I hate looking in the mirror. If I'm gonna do it at all there'd better be some kind of eyeliner and foundation on me.

If I had to survive with no makeup that would be it.

To me that's no makeup.

I hate my eyelashes because they're blonde (Even though I'm a brunette) and I hate my face cos I have evil blotchy skin. :(

[Rhiannon]

Mirrors are evil. Tools of the Antichrist. I avoid mirrors.

I have evil non-descript brown hair, fine, thin, oily, lank, which is always inclined to do whatever I don't want it to;
Evil horrible blotchy spotty skin (it's broken out big time at the moment, curse it);
Murky grey eyes with near-constant bags under them even I did kinda-sorta get some sleep;
Large, bulbous nose infested with black heads;
Small, scabby lips;
Straight teeth due to four years in braces, but truly evil breath;
Indistinct jaw with double chin *shudder* which gets nasty black hairs on it, evil evil evil EVIL kill the little monsters!;
Plus a figure that most closely resembles....a dumpling. Or Mrs. Potatoe-head. Also gigantic bones and square hands and huge wrists and ankles and large calves. And big, wide, flat feet, which come between me and my great love, boots.

Mirrors are evil. As long as I avoid mirrors, I can feel good about myself because I'm ever so brilliant and cynical and clever and stuff.

[Wonko The Sane]

If I went on and on about just why I'm ugly I might have to commit seppuku.

How do you do it and continue walking? *sigh*

[Rhiannon]

I'm coming to terms with it. I have a bunch of Foxtrot comics taped next to the mirror, too; I assume if I have to look in the thing I'll need a good laugh ("Um, those lines aren't in the script." "But they're in the book." "Yeah. We memorized it." he he he). Also I have a kitten on my lap- that helps.

This doesn't mean I don't accidentally glance in the mirror and go 'Argh! Evil troll-ogre thing!'; when that happens I hit the dirt and crawl to safety.

[YayGollum]

Do you really expect everyone to know what this seppuku thing is or do you just expect everyone to ask? oh well. That's a pet peeve of mine. Anyways, what's so great about bootses? Oh, I mean, the only thing I don't like about you, crazy Rhiannon person, is the hair thing. I like nice hair. *pets his own beautiful hair* :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

So, YayGollum, d'you want me to tell you what seppuku is, or are you just being contrary and know already? (it's the ritual suicide commited by Japanese samurai when they were so dishonored the only way to cancel the dishonor was death: the samurai knelt and used his short sword (I can say the name of the sword but not spell it) to cut his belly open crosswise, while another samurai beheaded him from behind- a most honorable position).

Bootses are God's own footwear. They are, as my friend Rax would say, totally kick-tushie. But if you can't comprehend it, you can't comprehend it. We forgive you, though.

And my mother claims my hair wouldn't be so intolerable if I blow dried it, but as mentioned above I think blow dryers are of the Antichrist and won't go near one of my own volition. The world at large is lucky I brush my hair and should count its blessings. It's particularly bad at the moment because my bangs got too thick and I'm growing most of them out. I look like Cousin It.

[YayGollum]

Contrary to popular belief, I do not know everything. Thanks for the definition. I hope you can see why I might be peeved by someone who just shows up saying something like ---> "Oh, yeah, semper ubi sububi! My favorite Latin phrase for some insane reason. I'm sure you all know exactly what I mean by that." :rolleyes: Or ---> "Ever play sabacc?" without saying what it is to anyone else reading the post. oh well. Got it. Bootses are cool. I say they're too much trouble. Give me laceless sneakers any day.

[Rhiannon]

Heehee, I know all about the samurai because I read Shogun. I learned more about the samurai before I moved to Japan than I did while there. 's funny. Also, a vulgar name for seppuku is 'hari-kari' (not spelled right, but who cares); we found this out when my mom once said 'Do such and such before I commit Harry Carey!', which is something she picked up from my grandmother (like the Medusa Stare, only less potent).

I hope you can see why I might be peeved by someone who just shows up saying something like ---> "Oh, yeah, semper ubi sububi! My favorite Latin phrase for some insane reason. I'm sure you all know exactly what I mean by that."

Victorian novelists like to toss around phrases in French and Latin and assume you know what they're saying. Makes things rough on us uneducated modern people.

Bootses are cool. I say they're too much trouble. Give me laceless sneakers any day.

I wore slip-on white Keds for far too much of my life. You really don't want to know about that.

I consider it "dressed up" when i wear nice black pants, something besides a t-shirt, and earrings. Whatever that says about me.
Cheers, kohaku! Kudos to you! I want to be just like you when I grow up. :D

Let's see. My make-up (all of which my mother bought me for my fourteenth birthday) is still unopened in some dank corner of my bathroom cabinet, collecting dust. Cheers for that! I admit...I do have hair gel. :o But I have to use that to keep my hair from going TOTALLY unruly on me (my hair is quite thick), and it doesn't take up time or feel too weird, so I don't have a problem with it. And it's more of a conditioner thing anyway. Blow dryer...don't have one of my own, but my mom has one. Only use that thing when my hair needs to dry super fast...maybe twice a year. Or when I just get quirky and feel like doing the whole hair-blowing-in-the-wind-super-model thing. :rolleyes: Curlers can be fun, but only the little sponge curlers. Not curling irons. Blegh. Take forever, burn your scalp. Icky.

I don't have my ears pierced, so no earrings for me. My mom was going to take me to get them pierced for my fifteenth birthday, but...I'm scared of pain, heh. So I've been avoiding it. The only reason I might relent and go do it is if I find these super cool guitar pick earrings that my friends have been mentioning to me. (*Loves guitar...loves guitar picks, too...*)

Heels are stupid, I think. Ruin your feet. Blegh. What's the point? But boots are cool, even though I don't wear them.

Cheers for unattractive people bursting with character! Ohmygosh...Rhiannon...the fact that you're not super beautiful makes me love you more! :D And you have one of the most shiningly sparkly wonderful personalities ever. :) And BRAVE, too...and brutally honest...Jam (The-Elf-Herself) would be proud of you. I could never go through all my physical faults and just list them out without feeling some discomfort.

And Wonko, I know you said you didn't want to hear this, but I've seen pictures of you and you are NOT the slightest bit ugly. :p It's really how you conduct yourself that matters. And you conduct yourself like you're...well...Wonks the Fox. :rolleyes:

Now three random things ---> 1) Seppuku. Wow. New vocabulary word. Didn't know any of that stuff about it, but figured it had something to do with suicide. (Those crazy Samurai people...:rolleyes: ) 2) I love Fox Trot! I have one clip cut out where the blonde kid with the glasses (Jason?) and his friend (ack, I don't know all the names...) are stuck up in a tree, and the older brother comes up and asks, "Having fun, Merry and Pippin?" Hehehe. :D

[YayGollum]

Yay me! I am self-centered and having fun with it! I happen to know that I am an evil person in that way. At least I'll admit it. Unlike some people. *squints eyes at some evil people he knows of* Whoops!

[Rhiannon]

Aaaaaaaw *blushes all over the place* Actually I'm a complete whimp, but whatever you say ;)

The Japanese have an incredibly different world-view from the West. It's amazing how differently they think. And Foxtrot is the absolute best.

And YayGollum has way too much fun.

[Kailita]

Yup. ;) He's Yay...he has certain license with that sort of thing. And he'll be the first to tell you how self-centered and evil he is. :rolleyes:

Mm...I just heard the sprinklers come on in the front yard...which means that it's past midnight over here. *Yawns* :o...speaking of bags under the eyes. (I have the same problem, Rhiannon...I hardly get any sleep these days. And I always tell myself I'll catch up during the break, but who wants to sleep during vacation? Well...normal people, I guess...but not me. Not when I have TTF. :))

One more thing before I head off to bed: Murky grey eyes are cool. Think of them as mysterious. ;)

[Rhiannon]

Only midnight, Kailita? It's past 2am here (and my sister's dog just jumped up on the window and scared the pants off me. Sheesh).

One more thing before I head off to bed: Murky grey eyes are cool. Think of them as mysterious.

Hee ;) Whatever you say, dahling, I'm sure you know best.

And hm...I suppose it wasn't really much of an Outcasty-type thing, but I did lie down in the middle of the floor in the Seattle airport. I was beyond caring who saw me do what by then, of course.

[Wonko The Sane]

I lie down in the Seattle airport EVERY time I travel out of there. I usually leave from roughly the same terminal and I have a special corner near a post with a plug so I can charge my phone or use my laptop.
That's GOOey of me. :)
Cos I live in Seattle.


Anyway, whoever it was that said I wasn't ugly. (It was you Kailita I know it was!!!) Is wrong.

Pictures say nothing...if you ever meet me you'll know why.
I'm overweight, I have bad skin, I have big teeth, I have a pointy nose, I appear to be eyelashless, my hair is yucky brown, I somehow always look messy and stuff...like I woke up on the wrong side of the garbage can.
Like...Elgee for example...her skin glows.
Mine kind of rots...and Elgee's all rosy...whereas I'm pale and green.

Ick.

And Yuck.

I won't go into details about why I'm gross because it makes me uncomfy. I'm not cool like Rhiannon.
Just trust me grossness.

And the whole, "Wonks is a fox" thing was a stupid thing I put in polls when I first joined because I wanted a self-esteem boost. Nobody had seen my picture at that point so they were just going off personality.
And it stuck.

It's just a nickname. Like when your dad calls you, "beautiful." It doesn't mean a thing.
It's just words.

PS- In addition to being ugly I'm also dumb. What does "semper ubi sububi" mean?

PPS- Anyone for a round of Sabacc? :D

[YayGollum]

Yay for people that know and love sabacc! When will they actually make that game? oh well. Semper ubi sububi means ---> Always wear underwear. Anyways, what do you mean when you say that you're overweight? *hopes that it's not that she wants to have some insane ideal weight thing*

[Wonko The Sane]

It means that I am overweight...
I wear clothes that hide it...but from my ankles to my mid torso I have evil bodyness...

And I DO want to be an ideal weight...but my ideal weight is somebody else's "OH MY GOD I'M HUGE!!!"

[YayGollum]

Whatever you say. Most people can get pretty crazy with their idea of how they should look. You must have really been evil to yourself since the most recent picture I've seen of you.

[Wonko The Sane]

THOSE PICTURES LIE!!!

I told you...I wear clothes to hide my blobby figure...and large amounts of makeup to hide my ugly face.

Most of the time I fail miserably.

PM, or MSN, or AIM me sometime and I'll send you an ugly picture of me to prove it.

[YayGollum]

Okay, okay, okay. You seem determined to convince people that you're not a fox. Even though you wanted to make them think that not too long ago. oh well. Crazy people. You're ugly. Have fun with it, don't whine. It's no big deal. I'm not the handsomest dude around. *gasp!* :rolleyes:

[Wonko The Sane]

I didn't want people to think I was a fox...I just wanted them to say it.
It made me feel good.
Today I feel crappy and want to make sure the world knows it was just a ruse and I'm not a fox after all.

[Rhiannon]

You come sit by me, Wonks- my ideal weight is 180. On account of I'm stocky and've got giant bones. And I'm a long ways from getting there still.

[Kailita]

Oh Yay...:rolleyes:
How can you manage to be harsh and endearing at the same time...? :p I'm not a huggly person, but I would hug you if I didn't know that you would just squirm away from me. Reminds me of my little brothers. :rolleyes: And...I absolutely refuse to believe that you're not the handsomest dude around. That's one of my constants...the things that will always stay the same. If you change it then...then...who knows what will happen! The seasons will always change...the ocean will always be blue...God will always love me...I'll always be horrible at cartwheels...and Yay will always be the handsomest dude around. :p:rolleyes:

*Hugs Wonks* There. I think you need it. (And I know you won't squirm away. ;)) No matter what you look like physically, or what you think you look like physically...that's all beside the point. You're an Outcast! You're an original! You're special and different! That's what matters! And it's not like people don't notice that.

[Frodorocks]

*Knows wonks won't listen to this, so she yells it into the distance at nothing in particular* You're pretty, snaga loves you, you're one of the coolest people I've met, so what else matters?! *Looks at wonks* No, I swear, I wasn't talking to you, honest.:)
I like hair blow dryer type things. My hair is curly and I hate it, so if I put some stuff in it, blow dry it, put some other stuff in it, iron it, and then put some other stuff on it, it's straight and I like it. But as you all are probably thinking, that's a lot of work, so 8 times out of 10, it's braided or in a pony tail or something.:D

[Wonko The Sane]

*Doesn't listen but appreciates Roxie's attempts.*

Thanks Roxie...but I'm sorry I can't listen to you. You're one of the beautiful people. 5'10" and model-gorgeous? I can't listen to you, pretty-face!!!

*hides*:rolleyes:

PS-Thanks for the hugs Kai

[Frodorocks]

I'm only 5'8.;) Thanks, but you can listen to me, I hate my smile, it makes me look like I'm stoned or something! *Decsends into the pit of self hate* I can't spell either!

[Wonko The Sane]

You said you were really tall and super-model looking.

Ok...so you're the same tallness as I am...that's not important.

YOU'RE STILL GORGEOUS!!!

AND NO SELF-HATE FROM GORGEOUS PEOPLE!!!!


*sigh*

Though you can't prove you're gorgeous cos you won't post your picture.
So you can join our new guild if you want...
Just no lying and telling us we're gorgeous anymore ok?

[The-Elf-Herself]

*Looks around confused*

Um, did I miss something? Since when was everyone bashing their own looks? Craziness. I'm 5' 8" too(must be a popular height :rolleyes: ), and I don't mind the way I look. Sure I could look better, but then I wouldn't be me. At the behest of my friends I once got all dressed up, make up and everything. I looked normal and noticeable for once, but I didn't recognize myself, so I hated it. Much better for me to be the semi-comely who everyone passes by. Wonko, I've seen your pics, you're distinctive. That's a great thing to be, take it from someone who is sort of, not exactly bland, but the type who never gets noticed and likes it that way. That is, I never get noticed until I start speaking and weird everyone out.

*Looks at what she read* Okay, that didn't make much sense, chalk it up to lack of sleep.

[Wonko The Sane]

Trust me I'm NOT distinctive...

TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The-Elf-Herself]

Whatever. You look distinctive. Why would you be so anxious to deny that, whether it's true or not?

[Wonko The Sane]

NOT distinctive...

People pass me by and never notice me.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Well, that's different. I'm talking about where you're physically right in front of someone and they genuinely don't see you. I have that problem.

[Wonko The Sane]

Are you kidding me? That happens all the time.
In class.
At work.
In shops.

People just don't see me. I'm invisible.
An invisible troll.
*stalks off to find some black eyeliner to make her look as angry and bitter as she feels*

[kohaku]

hmm let me make this clear... females, no matter what their weight, are almost never satisfied with it. i've lived my entire life underweight and i still went through a phase in high school where i thought i wasn't thin enough. but, luckily some say, my huge appetite kept me from acting on my beliefs. eventually i just got over it. even so, i tend to wear baggy clothes... i don't feel self conscious anymore, but it's just much more comfortable. my face, on the other hand... not too bad i guess, but i have acne that will follow me the rest of my life, and my cheeks and chin just don't form a very attractive shape. but there are some people in this world who think i'm beautiful, that's good enough for me. besides, i'd rather everyone see how i really look, whether they like it or not. same story, i used to always think i was hideously ugly, but not anymore. so many people out there with different ideas of beauty, there's always going to be someone who likes the way you look and someone who doesn;t. as for me, i find most deviations from the norm to be attractive.

[Wonko The Sane]

Well you're way ahead of us then...

Because most of us just want to wallow in self-loathing and smash our mirrors.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Then there are us who like to humor the wallowers... Yuck, smashing mirrors is not good, the shards get everywhere.

[Wonko The Sane]

Humour us?

WE'RE RIGHT!!!

We ARE talking about ourselves you know!

[YayGollum]

Oh, please. You people are crazy. People have different opinions. You may think you're right about how disgusting you look, but other people might dissagree. Ick. Anyways, Yay for me being harsh and endearing at the same time! My family agrees that it's a very good description of me.

[Wonko The Sane]

Hehe. :) Harsh and endearing.

THAT IS SOO YOU!!!!

[Rhiannon]

...and I was going to say something but one of the kittens just threw up behind me. Oh boy.

[Rhiannon]

...never mind, false alarm, what sounded horrible was just a little bit of watery stuff and it was on a piece of paper anyway.

Ahem. I don't wallow. I don't think I'm pretty, but I don't think I'm ugly, and I am content because if I weren't content I would be even crazier than I am. However, complaining is fun, especially complaining in company, particularly with Wonks. So complaing is habitual, but the cynicsm is new; I decided this last year gorgeous people had much less fun than I do, and besides I'm excessively wonderful in all other ways, so...

And changing the topic, I got to skip art class today so that I could work on my Easter clothes. I managed to hem the blouse, but then the skirt pattern had disappeared. Then I found the skirt pattern, made the skirt with only minor mishaps (I am a complete domestic incompetent and I was doing all this without supervision or aid because my mom is gone on a trip), and was working to but the STUPID ELASTIC IN when....

I broke the needle.

The needle. On my mother's sewing machine.

AGAIN.

Actually last time it was one of the needles on the surger, but God help me, I'm cursed. Jinxed. I am so completely jinxed. I can't even make toast without burning it- one of these days I'm going to cause a kitchen fire and maybe win the Darwin award from removing myself from the gene pool (actually I did set fire to my room- on accident!- last year, so there's a melted patch in my carpet, but you really don't want to know about that. I've given up candles cold turkey). I'm surprised I didn't manage to blow the stupid sewing machine up by now.

At least I mostly finished the skirt before I caused it to self-destruct. And my Easter shoes are really cute and comfortable, which is good because I'll need something to be buried in once Mom finds out about the needle.

[YayGollum]

You've given up candles cold turkey? What's that supposed to mean? oh well. Anyways, Yikes! Scary people and their bad luck! *grins* I'm a very lucky person. *hides*

[Wonko The Sane]

Aaah!

Well I do wallow. I wallow because I hate myself.
And I like to complain.
And I like to whine about how gorgeous people have all the fun.

Which in my case is sadly true.

Unlike you Rhiannon I don't have any other shining qualities to make up for the other areas I'm lacking.

I just lack all over.

*curls into a ball*

[YayGollum]

Oh, Ick! Am I an evil person for being disgusted? I don't run around trying to boost people's ego. They're supposed to do that for me. :eek: :rolleyes: Yes, I am an evil person and I should stop. oh well. I'm sure that someone will show up and toss gobs of ego boosting speeches at you. *runs away*

[Wonko The Sane]

I don't WANT ego boosting.
And I'm glad your not giving any.

I want to wallow.
It suits me.

[Annushka]

Will someone explain what ego boosting means. Please:) Most people love complaining:D But I`ve noticed something. In real life if you don`t show or talk about your flaws at all, no body will see them. But as soon as you open your mouth to point others your weak sides, be sure that everybody else will gladly agree:D So, why, knowing all weaknesses, keep the mouth shut?:)

On the other hand all girls like to talk about their problems. So do I.:D This looks the perfect place to do that. I totally agree with kohaku. I could sigh under her post:)

[Wonko The Sane]

I'm afraid that if I don't point out my flaws somebody else will.
And that would hurt a lot.

So I do it for them. At least then I can say it's my own fault.

:(

[The-Elf-Herself]

Wallowing is okay in moderation. I clearly recognize all my flaws and I'm reconciled with them, so if anyone tries to pick on me about them it doesn't affect me, because they're telling me something I already know and am okay with. Plus, it's nice to brush them off with a disdainful looks that says "duh, I'm not perfect. Any other brilliant things you have to say?" :rolleyes: Instead of making me feel uncomfortable, I shift it over so the other person feels uncomfortable.

[Rhiannon]

Plus, it's nice to brush them off with a disdainful looks that says "duh, I'm not perfect. Any other brilliant things you have to say?"

Yeah ;)

You've given up candles cold turkey? What's that supposed to mean?

I used to have candles all over my room and I would light them all the time. Y'know, ambiance and stuff. But my pyromaniac tendencies have kind of...burned out.

oh well. Anyways, Yikes! Scary people and their bad luck! *grins* I'm a very lucky person. *hides*

Oh, hush, you.

[YayGollum]

Not my fault. Anyways, when I asked what that candles cold turkey thing meant, I had no idea what the combination of those words was supposed to mean. I still have no idea. oh well.

[Rhiannon]

Giving something up cold turkey means you just stop suddenly and don't start again.

[YayGollum]

Okay. sorry about that. I don't know all of those crazy little phrases. *hangs head in shame* Anyways, yes, be content with what you have, crazy critics of yourself type people. No need to be evil. *hides*

[Dragon]

I think that I have a great body, but my face is only semi-ok-ish...I'm starting to be ok with that.....the weird thing about my appearance is that my body is all long and skinny and softly muscle-y...and then I have these HUGE love-handles...it confuses me...

[Frodorocks]

*Thinks of what YayGollum might have pictured when he saw the words candles cold turkey.*
*Pictures lighting a frozen turkey on fire*
*Grins:D *

[Wonko The Sane]

I'm sorry for wallowing...
Sometimes I can have fun with disdain and laugh when people point out my flaws.
mostly I just get hurt.

[Rhiannon]

*hugs Wonko* I don't care if you wallow! You can come sit by me anyway and wallow all you want.

[Wonko The Sane]

Thank you! :D *hugs Rhiannon*

[YayGollum]

Ick. Why are people so sensitive? Why can't they just stop emotions and act sarcastic and not care about evil people? oh well. Anyways, Ack! I didn't picture anything when I read that cold turkey thing. Hmph. Poor Smeagol. :rolleyes:

[Kailita]

Oi. You peoples is too much. :rolleyes:

Wonksyishness...I know what you mean about pointing out your flaws so no one else will. I do that, too. But what Annushka said is right: a lot of times if you don't say anything about it, no one will notice. Besides, what do you care what they think anyway? Don't let it affect you. And DOUBLE besides: this is the Guild of Outcasts! Nobody is going to point out your flaws here! (*cough*Except maybe Yay...*ahem* :rolleyes: ) So please...please please please please please...don't give it a second thought. We love you, even if you don't love you. :p

Kohaku has some great points and is totally right. Jamish is also right, as usual, in her blunt way. Know your faults, learn to live with them, then just brush off the people who realize them. *Snap* Easy.

*Jumps in the hug with Rhiannon and Wonksish* Cheer up, Wonks. If you just listen to the important people - Rhi, Jam, Kohaku, Annushka - there's no problem. :)

Yes Yay, harsh but endearing. Can't believe you didn't know what cold turkey meant. I have the strong urge to hug you again...better run. :rolleyes:

[YayGollum]

*runs away* Anyways, Ack! Since when do I point out everyone's flaws? I thought I was a nice guy. :( :rolleyes:

[Wonko The Sane]

*Hugs Kaia and Rhia*

YAY!!!
:)

Thanks Kaia. :) I appreciate it. I still hate myself...but it's nice to hear encouraging words. :D

[The-Elf-Herself]

*taking a cue from Yay, goes and hides in a superly secret place from all of the hugging*

Wow, I'm important? Scary. What's wrong with pointing out flaws? It's only when people take it personally, which admittedly they usually do. Plus it's all in the phrasing and stuff. I dunno. I was just born with super-thick skin I guess. Huzzah for being harsh and endearing! Huzzah for being blunt in a reasonably nice way!

[Rhiannon]

*is squished between Kailita and Wonks* Oof! Careful, you'll crush all the popcorn!

[Wonko The Sane]

*pulls back astonished*
The popcorn? Is it Kettle CORN!?!?

*squeals in delight and then settles down with Kaia and Rhia in a big comfy couch to eat popcorn and talk about stuffs.

:D

[Rhiannon]

Of course it's Kettle Corn, I don't eat any popcorn but Kettle Corn *loves kettle corn*

*claims corner of couch and squishes self down in to it*

[YayGollum]

What's the difference between popcorn having to do with a kettle and rhe usual kind? :confused:

[Rhiannon]

Kettle Corn is a specific flavor of popcorn...it's kind of sweet, almost. You know how in ye olden days people popped popcorn in kettle things over the stove/fire; it's meant to taste like that.

[Kailita]

Kettle Corn...mmm...crunchy sweetness. :)

Methinks I've gots a new nickname. *Likes the name Kaia...puts it in her nickname file, along with Kai and K*

*Thinks Yay must be sheltered if he doesn't know what cold turkey or kettle corn is* ;)

Psh, of course you're important, Jam. As for pointing out flaws...well, bleh, I don't usually do it, just because I hate for it to be done to me. I try not to take it personally, but it's hard. I'm sensitive to that kind of stuff. Some things more than others, though. Like if you tell me that my biology notes suck, I'm sure I'll nod and agree with you. But if you tell me that my singing sucks, I'll smile but feel bad inside. (Which is why I try to avoid singing in public, heh...I love to sing, but I don't have the best voice in the world. :rolleyes: ) I guess criticism hurts me more when it's about things involved with my creative side - singing, dancing, writing, etc. Except for my drawings. I know those suck, heh. :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

I guess criticism hurts me more when it's about things involved with my creative side - singing, dancing, writing, etc.
Yeah. Constructive criticsm, like 'I think the pacing could be improved' or 'This dialogue is confusing' or 'You're not breathing from the diaphragm' or 'You're scooping on this line' and things, those are great. I love those. I go hunting for that kind of thing. Stupid criticism, like 'That's a stupid story' or 'You sound like a frog' or 'That's an ugly picture' are not helpful and are just ugly and are shin-kick-worthy. Only nasty evil people would give stupid criticism, but since they're the kind of people we don't WANT to be around, we don't CARE what they think, and we ignore them and sashay off to do our thing around people who are good for us and make us better.

[YayGollum]

Got it. I've had cold turkey, but not kettle corn. I'm more into the superly and achingly buttery type. oh well. Anyways, no, I'm not particularly sheltered. I just hang out with Outcasts that don't get into the common knowledge type stuffs. just the crazy little things we especially like. *hides* Yes, Yay for constructive criticism! Very fun to toss around. :rolleyes:

[Frodorocks]

I like both kettle corn and really butter popcorn.:) Those are my favourite kinds. You know what's really gross? Plain popcorn. Blegh, dries (or is it drys? I can't remember which ones the real word.:D ) out your mouth.

[Wolfshead]

This is the first time I've bothered checking this thread for ages, and I started it as well, and I find you talking about popcorn. Odd. Anyway, I took a trip back to the first page, and I think Yay should be mercilessly mocked for this post

Maybe the time where I trusted this old friend of mine to not hurt me when he said he wanted to show a karate trick. I gots a trick knee thanks to him. oh well. I probably have more. :rolleyes:
You couldn't get much more stupid ;) Well, that's my time wasting done for today. I'm off to bed, assuming there aren't more PMs for me...

[The-Elf-Herself]

Frodorocks: it's dries. Huzzah for popcorn absolutely soaked in butter! Boo for kettle corn! Too sweet, I was born with a salty tooth.

Constructive criticism is the best. People who don't know me are afraid to really say what they think(I'm a little intimidating), they're not sure how I'll react. Hehe, so I have fun and pretend like I'm going to bite their head off, then drop the act and thank them.

CraigSmith: I read that on some other thread. Yeah, wow it was stupid. Everyone does stupid things. Not sure why someone should be mercilessly mocked for for something like that, although maybe my idea of mocking is harsher than yours. I dunno.

[Annushka]

Constructive critisizm is useful. But one can get that from very few people, I think. They must be people that you trust, you`re not afraid that they will hurt you, you believe that they want the best for you and know you very well.

I remembered an Outcast-type thing I`ve done a few days ago. I was in a mini-bus on my way home. The seats in this bus were facing each other. So I was sitting right in the middle and had the most stupid and uncontrolable smile on my face, from one ear to the other. There was nothing I could do. that smile was just stick to my face. I was sitting there having the strongest feeling that everyone in this bus thought I was absolutely crazy:D

[Kailita]

What was making you smile so much, Annushka?

Constructive criticism. Yes, that is good. But rare. A lot of times people criticize for the sake of criticizing, just to hear their own voices, not because they want to improve what you're doing. :rolleyes: That's why I go to people close to me when I want good criticism - people I trust and people I know won't say something just to put me down. And I've learned to just ignore the stupid criticism. It just shows the person's ignorance.

[Thindraug_2]

There was two Gardening shacks I climbed on one and I went to jump to the other one and I hit the other one and fell on some barb wire it hurt. I also tryed to walk over a electrite fence and I got stuck i have not learned my lesson.

[YayGollum]

Hey, crazy people! No, I shouldn't be mercilessly mocked. I had a good excuse. I was a stupid little kid. oh well. Yes, you were being stupid there, Thindraug_2 person. Anyways, I've been hearing superly recently that my constructive criticism isn't coming off that way. oh well. *sniff*

[Thindraug_2]

I like playing with knifes Cut my self once I cut my bone it was fun

[The-Elf-Herself]

Oh well, I like any kind of criticism. The constructive stuff tells me what I might need to work on, the petty stuff tells me the other person is annoying. For the former I am grateful and for latter I am glad to be able to identify another person that isn't worth getting to know better. Besides, it's funny to listen to(alright, I officially have a strange sense of humor). The other person is the one who's making themselves look like an idiot with stupid criticism and they're trying to tell my what's wrong me me? :rolleyes: :D

[YayGollum]

How can cutting yourself be fun? I would think it would be painful. oh well. Anyways, sure, I can see why you might think that way about the stupid type of criticism, The_elf_Herself person, but the people that are tossing it around don't think they're being stupid. They're complaining. They see a problem and they point it out. They're trying to help themselves by telling you what to do. There's a good reason for it. At least for them. Every now and then, this type of criticism isn't very stupid. *hides*

[Elfarmari]

My friends and I were bored one night, so we went to Meijer's and walked up and down the aisles singing random Christmas carols. We got lots of people to look at us strangely!

[YayGollum]

Yikes! I would creeped out by that, too! Crazy ladies! oh well. I'm guessing that Meijer's is some kind of store? Let me see here. Has anyone else been paying attention to that Helen Of Troy TV movie thing? This Elfarmari person reminded me of it. Whoops!

[Thindraug_2]

I'm Banned from knifes in home ec:D I was Juggleing knifes

[YayGollum]

Got it. So you were having fun with juggling, not with getting cut. Phew! I was about to think that you were crazy.

[Thindraug_2]

I get cut alot so I have no feeling

[YayGollum]

Are you that clumsy? oh well. sorry about that. Ick. Not funny. Or maybe I'm just a little wimpy dude with sensitive skin. :rolleyes:

[Frodorocks]

Don't be mean to poor Yay for being stupid.:( ;) His sister is obviously very evil.:D
Re: Helen of Troy- They say that she could launch a thousand ships with her face. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[YayGollum]

Yes, she is very evil. Anyways, I would think that being able to launch a thousand ships in the way Helen did would be a bad thing. Silly me.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Yeah that's true about the criticisms Yay, but the majority of the time it's both useless and stupid. My idea of stupid criticism is the kind that just says "you stink" or "it's just bad" without telling me why or even trying to defend their opinion. Those pointless kind of criticisms waste their time and mine, since they obviously don't care enough to eaborate, so why say anything in the first place? I dunno. :rolleyes: Yeah, I'm pretty resistant to knives as well, due to birds with extremely sharp claws perching on my hands for long periods of time. I used to get scratched up, now my skin even show a mark. It's just the skin on the tops of my hands however.

[YayGollum]

*sniff* Poor Smeagol and his sensitive skin. :rolleyes: Anyways, sure, I get your idea of stupid criticism. People still value their opinions. Maybe they're just not very good at putting them into words? :confused:

[The-Elf-Herself]

I guess not. Maybe they're intimidated by my impressive verbal skills.:rolleyes: Anyways, that's great if they value their opinions, someone has to, I definitely don't. Yuck, Helen of Troy was such an annoying myth sometimes. This whole war and everything started because some pretty boy had to ask Aphrodite for the most beautiful woman in the world. Of course, I'm guessing they won't put the mythos into the TV series, they'll just make up some love-story thing to go along with it instead. Still, that's another reason love is bad, although the battle scenes might be impressive. They're also making a movie called Troy on the same subject.

[Thindraug_2]

Me clumsy no well alittle

[YayGollum]

Oo! I hope this movie is better. That TV movie is already over. Was very evil. They barely had the gods in it at all. They made Helen and Paris and Clytemnestra look like the most pure people you'll ever run into. They made Hector and Achilles and Agamemnon (I might be spelling that wrong) look bad. Ack! Those are the few heroes that I will actually defend!

[The-Elf-Herself]

Well, the movie won't have the Greek gods in it as all. Like I said, they made up this enduring lovey-dovey story between Paris and Helen instead. Grossness. Yuck, I'm glad I didn't watch the TV movie. Oh well, they're supposedly working hard to really make it look like a thousand ships.

[YayGollum]

Ack! How can you not tell the Trojan War story without the godses? They're all kinds of fun. *sniff* oh well. I always thought of Helen and Paris as some of the stupidest people in mythology. oh well. Why make them look good? Ick.

[Rhiannon]

Helen of Troy was a twit. Unfortunately common trait in pretty people. She was a total loser as a person, no will power, no loyalty, absolutely nothing worthwhile. Rhian hates Helen of Troy.

Athena, on the other hand, Rhian thinks is really cool. Also Artemis/Diana.

And Rhian loves the Fates.

[YayGollum]

Oo! Yes! Thank you. Helen was boring. Athena is achingly cool. I never was a big fan of Artemis, though. She never did anything especially interesting. *hides*

[Annushka]

I love greek mythology. It`s cool. Athena is the best, the most intelligent, fair, strong, powerful. Artemis is not as interesting. Yay is right, she never had the chance to do something important or interesting. Personally I hated Appollo. He was always against the characters I loved. Including the Troyan War.
The Troyan War was all about Achilles, Agamemnon, Odysey (my spelling is terrible cause I haven`t read the book in English) and other heros. helena was just the cause for the war. Not even she herself but her beauty. So I can imagine what they have done with the story to make her and Paris (who by the way is the most boring character) the main characters.

Ditto, ditto, and ditto. And Kailita says cheers for talking about yourself in the third person! :D Kailita does that all the time...it is becoming a bad habit...so Kailita is trying to stop. :o:rolleyes:

Helen of Troy ---> Pretty face, empty head. Blegh.

Athena ---> Best character in Greek mythology, in my opinion. Cheers for wisdom over beauty! :D

Artemis ---> Pretty cool character. Awesome name. (Even though I guess it's being used as a guy name too these days. Weird.)

*Drags Yay out of hiding* Not true! Artemis turned some guy in the forest into a stag, or something to that effect. I haven't studied Greek mythology in three years. Guess he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. :rolleyes: Temperamental goddesses. *Shakes her head*

[YayGollum]

Yes, what's so cool about being tempermental? oh well. That thing where she turned that poor guy into a stag was pure evil. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, just like you said. Artemis is evil. oh well. Yes, Apollo was always achingly boring to me. Lots think he's a superly perfect type guy, but he was just as mean as his twin. Also, sure, Paris was boring. He was a huge coward who just happened to have the favor of some goddess. I usually like cowards, but not in the Trojan War! That's just craziness. Odysseus was the coolest.

[The-Elf-Herself]

I never thought much of any of the gods and goddesses of Greek Mythology. They were too tempermental, it got very annoying after a while. Hate some chick? Turn her into a spider! Suspect your husband of cheating on you with this other chick? Have her be able to only echo others words! The only ones who were halfway decent were Athena and Artemis, more Artemis than Athena, since the latter got her feathers ruffled with that whole stupid "who's the fairest" thing that started the whole dang war. The whole thing would never have gotten started if that other goddess Eris didn't throw that stupid apple on the table at the big dinner party. They're all crazy. Yeah, huzzah for Odysseus! Huzzah for mortals who make the gods look bad and live to tell of it!

[Annushka]

Maybe all these gods are so interesting and intriguing because they have all the weaknesses of mortals? They get jelous, mad, embarassed etc. Naturally they use their powers to solve their problems. I wish I could turn into a spider some people I know:)For me their being tempermental makes them even more appealling. Though I agree that sometimes they get a little paranoid.

I don`t remember very well, but was Athena one of the three to take part in that <the most beautiful> contest?

[The-Elf-Herself]

*Checks book on Greek Mythology*

Yep, it was Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. I guess they were more interesting because of that, although I've been on the other end of the "irresponsible person with too much power" thing not to find them a bit annoying.

[Annushka]

That doesn`t characterise her (Athena) very well, does it?:)

[The-Elf-Herself]

She's a tiny bit better. I used to like her until I read the Helen of Troy myth. I still like Artemis the best.

[Frodorocks]

I liked Artemis the best too.:D She got to run around in the woods and have fun.

[Rhiannon]

Yeah- she's the goddess of the hunt and the moon, after all.

I read a lot less Greek mythology than I used to, mostly because of my issues with the gods- I'm all in to Celtic mythology now, and Norse. You get the Wild Hunt and the Morrigan and the Sidhe and things.

[Wolfshead]

Rhiannon, do you know any good sites for Celtic and Norse mythology? I'm into both those just now - very interesting. David Gemmell draws on a lot of Celtic history in his books, so reading where it all comes from is great.

[Rhiannon]

Not off the top of my head, no, but I'm sure I have some bookmarked somewhere- A quest! A quest! If I do not return, send a search party and give my leather-bound LOTR to Lomelinde!

[YayGollum]

Norse mythology is cool. I haven't gotten into crazy Celtic type things yet. oh well. Yay for Loki! Anyways, let me see here. Ick. Athena is way cooler than Artemis. Artemis does less cool things. What cool things does she do that makes you people like her so much? oh well. Athena was always helping out the coolest heroes in mythology. *hides*

[Wonko The Sane]

It's sweet and salty at the same time. :) DELICIOUS!!!

Artemis is my favourite too. :) Though I was more into the Roman mythology because of my love of the planets (Named after Roman gods) and stars. So Diana was my favourite. :) And Gaia.

Though I like Hestia as well. And Athena didn't do much for me. I like her. She's wise and a warrior. But she's too wise, and too sterile for me.

:)

[Kailita]

Mm...the Roman gods didn't do much for me, just because the Romans pretty much just barged in, took over Greece, stole their gods, tagged new names onto them, and called them their own. :rolleyes: Norse mythology is pretty cool. My brother has a book on that. I think I would like it more if I didn't have a friend who I think actually believes in it and keeps trying to convert me over to it. :rolleyes:

It seems as if Rhiannon has fallen into an abyss somewhere near Guildford - which is unfortunate, as it would imply she failed in her quest :rolleyes: So now I can't read about all that mythology stuff...

[Rhiannon]

No no! I was kidnapped by goblins....Skimming through my bookmarks (great Scott, where did all this COME from?) I found this (http://www.pantheon.org/); I know I have more somewhere, but they're buried. Stolen by the goblins, y'know.

[YayGollum]

That's a cool link, lady. I used to be all into this national Latin convention thing, so I could probably dig up a few cool sites if anyone cares. Mostly about trivia and how smart you are, though. :rolleyes: Anyways, sure, the Romans were pretty evil with the godses, but they came up with a few things that were original. Not as cool as the Greeks, but oh well. *hides* I always thought that the Greek names sounded cooler. Hephaestus versus Vulcan. Ick. Athena versus Minerva. Ick. I think that only Apollo kept his name.

Diana is boring.

Athena is more fun. Sterile = bad?

Hestia never does anything.

[Wolfshead]

I suspect I'll read more about the British and Irish parts of the Celtic section. I've found a couple of other mythology websites that could be worth mentioning, but I'll have to read them first. I'll do that eventually...

And I'm glad you got away from the goblins :D

EDIT: I'm starting to see more blatant David Gemmell liftings - other than stuff about the Seidh and the Morrigan.
Llew Llaw Gyffes
by Karen Davis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Llew Llaw Gyffes, "the Bright Lion with the Sure Hand", son of the virgin Arianrhod. He could only be killed neither by day nor night, indoors nor out of doors, riding nor walking, clothed nor naked, nor by any weapon lawfully made. Because his mother had cursed him to have no human wife, he married a made woman, created of flowers, Blodeuwedd. She betrayed him with Goronwy, tricked the secret of his death out of him, and led him to it. Llew became an eagle, and was recovered into human form by his uncle Gwydion. He then killed Goronwy, but Blodeuwedd was turned into an owl.
The second last Gemmell book I read, Knights Of Dark Renown had a hero called Llaw Gyffes. The only comparison I can draw is that his wife was murdered - so had no wife...

[Rhiannon]

Blatant liftings off of mythology don't bother me at all, because most of my favorite books are based directly on it, one way or another (the title Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast is a bit of a give-away). I just read Tamsin by Peter S. Beagle, and there was a lot in there about Dartmoor mythology, which I'm going to have to research now.

[Wonko The Sane]

Hestia does do things...she's just not all over the place like Athena and Diana.

I like her because of what she represents.

And Athena IS boring because she's sterile, war-like, and serious.
But not in any kind of butt-kicking way like Diana. :)

*Knows she's mixing Greeks and Romans and doesn't care.*

[YayGollum]

Hestia = hearth, home, boringness. *hides*

I never thought of Athena as especially serious. I thought of her as a superly cool and very powerful lady to have on your side. But only if you're a superly cool person yourself. oh well. I love seeing her talk to Ares. Very crazy. Anyways, Ick. Athena is a much better fighter than boring old Artemis, if that's what you're into. I'm more into wits.

[Wonko The Sane]

I like the hearth and home. :)
I know it's wrong but I like taking care of a house, and cleaning things, and being domestic.
:) Especially if you have someone you love to take care of. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[YayGollum]

Oh, Ick! *collapses* oh well. That's the only reason you like Hestia more than Athena? That's just craziness. Athena actually has a personality. *raises his hand like a little kid* I know a twin brother and sister named Athena and Hermes! *hides*

[Wonko The Sane]

Hestia has personality too.
She's warm, and caring and loving.
She's giving and nurturing. She cares for everyone and loves them and protects and looks after them even if they don't appreciate it or acknowledge it.
She's selfless and loving.
She's admirable.

And there's nothing wrong with me liking her domestic qualities.
*kicks Yay*

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I think that's wonderful. :) Personally, I'm only 15 and too young to be tied down with thinking about that kind of stuff...but someday I know that I'll probably want that.

And the classic Yay response:

[Wonko The Sane]

But see...you said, "Tied down"...I'm not tied down...
And never will be. You're only tied down if you choose to look at it like that.
And you can be domestic and stuff and still have a job, and go to school, and blah blah blah..

Anyway, enough of that.
I probably look really stupid. :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

Never stupid, dahling- slightly confused, but never stupid.

[Wonko The Sane]

You think it's confused of me to want that?
To actually like it?

Don't get me wrong I'm not some boring home-body...I love adventure, and danger, and really wild things baby...*decides to stop quoting HHGTTG*...I just like the domestic side of life too.

*sigh*

I feel like some dumb girl....

[YayGollum]

Why was I kicked? What myths have you ever seen any cool personality with Hestia? That's just craziness. I must have missed them. I only know about that lady. oh well.

[Wonko The Sane]

I know she doesn't have any cool stories and stuff.

So she's not as exciting as Athena! BIG DEAL!

She's still cool. She doesn't nead "AMAZING STORIES" to make her so.

*Crosses arms and sulks*

[Frodorocks]

Artemis was cool specifically because she did not go all over the place and do important things. Instead she had a fun personality and a good time.:D She was smart too, just not overly scholarly and serious like Athena. Not that that's a bad thing.
I don't like Roman mythology too much because I have a grudge against them for rampaging all over Britain and being mean to my Celts.:)
Ack, you're right yay, Minerva is an awful name. My parents almost named me that!:eek:

[YayGollum]

Sounds like you're just saying that you're a big fan of the things this Hestia person represents, crazy Wonko person. Is there anything that makes you especially like the Hestia person? sorry for the confusion. Anyways, got it. Artemis is cool because she doesn't do cool things. Makes all kinds of sense. :rolleyes: *hides*

[Frodorocks]

It does make sense. She's cool because she doesn't have to be all important and busy. She gets to swim and climb trees. That's cooler to me than helping heros.:)

[Annushka]

Personally I never liked Artemis veru much because she was Apollo`s sister. That`s enough for me:D

[YayGollum]

sorry, person who's name I won't say, but I'm more of a fan of characters for their personality, not for what they do or don't do. oh well. Whatever you say, crazy person. Anyways, yes, Artemis and Apollo were a lot alike. Both very boring and overly mean. *sniff*

What I meant to say was that since I'm only in highschool, a lifestyle like that would be restricting for me right now, and I would feel like I was being tied down. But in the future, it would be a very good thing. Does that make sense? (Btw...ooh...Wonkses gotses a new avatar...cheers for eyeses. Kailita hearts eyeses. But whose eyeses are they...?)

Mmm...I guess Athena was a scholar...but I didn't really see her as overly serious. Focused, maybe. But she had fun. She wasn't all somber and junk like...umm...you know...those somber gods. :rolleyes: (*Can't think of any examples right now...*)

[YayGollum]

Hades. Cronus. Poseidon. Apollo. Probably others. oh well. Let me see here. Outcast-Type Things Done. I watch many shows and movies just for the music. Even though I sometimes hate the stories. *hides*

[Saucy]

puts foot in mouth
what do feet taste like?

[Kailita]

Like chicken! :D

Originally posted by YayGollum

Me too! In fact, when I was younger I used to tape music I liked off of movies with my little portable tape recorder...it came out really scratchy and fuzzy, but that was about all I could do. Now I just go out and buy the soundtrack. ;)

[Thindraug_2]

how many bones have everyone broke?

[Rhiannon]

I've taped music off of movies! Mostly musicals, but I have a tape somewhere of the soundtrack of The Last Unicorn (all the songs, anyway).

And I have not broken a single bone in my body. Not a one, not ever. I have had more than nine teeth pulled, though. And feet taste disgusting, except for baby feet that haven't ever been walked on yet.

[Kailita]

I've never broken any bones either, nor have I ever gotten a bee sting or had a tooth pulled or even gotten a cavity. *Is very sheltered*.

And, yes, feet are disgusting. Bleh. :p Feet and noses. I've never seen a nose that I really liked, except for LeeLee Sobieski's. Hers is, for some reason, exceptable to me. *Shrugs*

Rhianish, what's the first part of your signature about? And what in the world is "arglefraster"? Oh...btw...my dad was listening to an old Fleetwood Mac tape, and the song "Rhiannon" played, and I thought of you. :) Ever heard that song?

[Rhiannon]

No cavities here, but big teeth in a small mouth. Urk. Four years of braces, two head gears, Ick ick ick. *puts hand over mouth protectively*

Kaia! You must must must go read The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patrica Wrede this moment. They start with Dealing With Dragons and are hysterically wonderful! Brief explanation- one of the best characters is the very matter-of-fact witch Morwen, who has a sign in front of her house reading 'None of this Nonesense, Please'. Arglefraster you must read the books for. Run run run now!

And I have never heard that song, though you're the second person to mention it. I must seek it out. I don't think we have any Fleetwood Mac in the house (we've got Rush and Led Zeplin and Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd and The Alan Parsons Project, though. And lots and lots of Beethoven).

[Thindraug_2]

I've never broke a bone, and I think I should have.

[YayGollum]

I haven't broken anything, but I did have some crazy thing tear in my legs. *sniff* But then, it made it so I'm double-jointed. :rolleyes: But then again, I do have trick knees now. :( :rolleyes:

[Annushka]

I`ve broken my arm when I was 11. And that was fun cause I didn`t have to attend jym classes and wasn`t able to write. That was splendid. but now whenever it rains my arn starts bothering me very-very much.

Kaili, why are noses disgusting. And why are people always NOT happy with their noses? I am.:D It gives my face something very unique. Besides it`s our family nose. Every woman in our family has it. The sad thing is that in time it starts to hang down a little:D

Yay, it was a very nice way to change the subject;)

[YayGollum]

Yay for noses! Nothing wrong with them! Mine is huge! Yay me! :rolleyes: Anyways, what was that about changing the subject? Did I forget when I did that? I think so. oh well.

[Kailita]

No, no, no, no subject changing yet! *Reverts back to old subjects*

Dealing with Dragons! I've heard of it, but never read. Must seek them out! Running, running, running! :)

The Rhiannon song by Fleetwood Mac isn't the bestest song in the world...I don't think it's even called Rhiannon, it just has that name in the chorus...but I heard it and I thought of you. *Shrugs*. Cheers for Led Zeppelin! Hehe...those peoples...so funny...;)

I don't know why noses are disgusting...they just are. Ugh. Kailita abhors noses. Blegh. Especially her own. Well...she's come to accept it the way it is, since there's nothing she can do to change it...she doesn't like it but she's dealing with it. :rolleyes: But I'm glad that you like your nose, Annushka. Always better to be happy with what you have. :)

[Frodorocks]

I've broken my arm, twice. Once when I was little, and once a couple of summers ago when I was playing street hockey and some kid tripped me when I was going for a goal. But it didn't really hurt, I just couldn't move it, so I got back up and kept playing. My mum yelled at me for that, didn't realise how bad it was and go to the hos
