Hmmm...*reaches up and hugs her big brother (who must be taller than her, being older) to see if he's cuddly*

I give you a 7 on a scale of one to ten. Maybe if you put on a teddy bear costume...:D;):D

[Rhiannon]

*choke* BWAH! Ha ha ha ha!

[Kailita]

*Laughs like a taunting middle child*

(How do taunting middle children laugh...?)

[Rhiannon]

It's sort of like an insane maniacal cackle with some 'hee hee's thrown in.

Or maybe that's just my sister.

[BranMuffin]

Nope, not gonna do it. I can't put on a Teddy bear costume. If I did I would probably get tranquilized and tagged...
I was already a ballerina against my will, and now I'm wanted as a bear aghhh...

I still have my stuffed bear "Mr. Bear", though he's getting old and missing part of his lips...
Have a blankie too. It's in storage though so it won't get destroyed.

What were the laugh's for??

[Rhiannon]

It was the idea of stuffing you in to a bear suit, dear. That's all.

[BranMuffin]

Yeah that would be pretty funny. It would be hard to find one that fits me.

[Kailita]

*Practices her insane maniacal cackle* Hahahahehehe...MUAhahaha! BWAhahaha!

Hmmm...I'll practice that.

*Laughs, getting a mental picture. Aww, but you were so cute as a ballerina...you'd be adorable as a big cuddly teddy bear. Don't worry...Rhi and I will scare away anyone trying to tranquilize you. :D *Rummages around for bear costumes*

[Rhiannon]

*helps Kaia dig* Bunny suit, bunny suit with bow tie, bunny- ooh, that's not much of a suit....Ooh, this one has a hat!

Santa Clause....naw.

Easter Bunny....naw.

Teddy Bear! Oh Braaa-aaaan!

[Talierin]

*is getting wicked idea... must consult with co-conspirator mac sometime soon...*

[Dragon]

hmmm, middle-child laughter...imagine a high-pitched cackle, now un-high-pitch it...yeah, that's it:D :D :D

tal....u r a monster....really funny, but a monster nonetheless...show us when u get it done;) :eek: :eek: :D

[Kailita]

*Gets wicked maniacal look on her face* Yes, Tal, yes! Do it, do it! BWAhahahaha!

(We need an evil laughter smiley.)

(*Cracks up behind hand* That's great, Rhi...:D)

Eureka! Teddy Bear costume! *Breaks in her cackling evil middle child laugh...suddenly looks incredibly innocent and leans over towards older sister Rhiannon*...*lowers voice*...Okay...we tackle him on three...

*Whistles...looks innocent...* :)

One...

*Meanders over towards Bran casually...* ;)

Two...

*Smiles convincingly...* :D (Okay, maybe not that convincingly...)

Three! NOW!

:D:D:D

[Annushka]

Excuse me! Is there somewhere Bran's picture as a ballerina?:D:D Or I misunderstood?

[Talierin]

There is, Mac and I made it while Mac was here, in Photoshop *devil grin* It's in the Photo Album or Hey hey it's my anniversary in Member Announcements :D


I will, as soon as Mac and I make evil plans! I forgot to talk to him about it tonight :rolleyes:

[Annushka]

Yeah, I found it! It's hilarious!!! Especially the expression on Bran's face:D:D

[BranMuffin]

Kai, Rhi...I hate to break it to you but I don't think you'll be able to get me down. It took 9, count them NINE, girls to get me down. They weren't wimpy girls either, they were my cousins and sisters ganging up on me. We have video of it somewhere...it actually was the inspiration for the 100 Agent Smith's scene...
*ponders what's next on Tal's "evil to do list" and hides from being put in bear suit*

[Rhiannon]

You can't be bigger than my brother, Bran, and I can take him down with help. *hurls self at the backs of Bran's knees, unbalancing him *

BEAR SUIT! BEAR SUIT!

[Annushka]

Poor Bran:D There's no way out:D But maybe we shouldn't do something against his wish? I mean he really doesn't want to be put in a bear suit:D On the other hand why am I spoiling all the fun?:o

[BranMuffin]

I can, and probably am. Not really fat just big..
That's how my cousins got me down too, by wrapping around my legs.

Why is it always fun for younger siblings to pick on and mess with the older(and bigger) brother. I guess it goes both ways though...
*Hides in fear of knowingness of Tal's evility*(are those words even?)

[Talierin]

Project BearMuffin is complete! AIN"T HE ADORABLE!!!! AWWWWWW!

[Dragon]

:D :D :D :D :D

who's a teddy bear? (*teasing voice*) who's a teddy bear?

well, if u do it right, It doesn't take that much...:D :D :D :eek: :D

[Elbereth]

*chokes on the rice that she is eating for dinner*

LoL!! That is the most "Adorable" thing I have ever seen...:D

[BranMuffin]

Terrible....
How is it that you can find the worst bear possible to put me in... Blue?!
Adorable? Abhorable you mean...

[Talierin]

I think the color "suits" you nicely! :D

[BranMuffin]

Why couldn't you use this one or something like it....?

[Dragon]

nonono, we were talking about cuddly teddy bears, not bears *sigh* when will u learn?

[BranMuffin]

What you don't think that one is cuddly?I do just look at this one...

[Rhiannon]

BWAH! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! *laughing hysterical*

Aw, isn't Bran CUTE???

[BranMuffin]

Didn't we already go through this cute conversation?
I'm not cute... though that blue really brings out my eyes...

[Annushka]

LOL... This is fun!!! It really does bring them out!!!

[Kailita]

Oh, BRAN! :D:D:D

How CUTE! Absolutely adorable! You just rose on the Cuddly-Meter all the way to a nine and a half. ;)

*Shakes Rhi's hand, congratulating her on a job well done* We should torture our older brother more often...

(And Tal, major kudos on doing the real work. ;))

[Talierin]

The kudos go to MacAddict, he weilded the photoshop arrow of power... I just posted it ;)

[BranMuffin]

I don't think Mac loves me anymore... esp. since I heard rumor of the next work being a bunny. A bunny?!?

[Rhiannon]

BUNNY SUIT! BUNNY SUIT! Wheeeeeeeeeee!

[BranMuffin]

Don't encourage it Rhi or you may find yourself being Photosh-chopped.

[Kailita]

Bunny...? Bunny...

*Evil smile...maniacal middle sister cackle*

Ooh...does widdle Bwanny-wanny like bunnies? :D


Bran needs a girlfriend. It would be so much more fun torturing him if we could show all this great stuff to his girlfriend and embarass him more through that. :D [/random thought]

[Dragon]

heheheh, great idea K....wait, do we know 4 a fact that he doesn't?

teheh, I haven't posted ne pics, so, no one can do that 2 me:D :D :D

[BranMuffin]

Well I know for a fact that I do. Sorry ladies I'm taken...
And no I'm not going to give you any info about her esp. how to contact her and give her pictures...

[Kailita]

Awww...but BRANNY...! :( *Pouts...sad face* You're no fun. (*Nudge* D, you're the youngest sister, you're the one who's supposed to break into uncontrollable tears and make the big brother guilt trip...)

[Dragon]

~*sniffle*~...but...bran!!!!!!!!!

pweeeeesseee????

you'll ruin all our (*hiccup!*) fun...:( :( :(

(;) )

[Kailita]

(Ooh...nice one, D. Now throw in a wail! A really long annoying wail...he'll have to relent! ;):D)

[Rhiannon]

I have a better idea. MAC! WHERE'S MAC!

Ooo-ooooooh, big brother does have a girlfriend! Wheeeee!

[BranMuffin]

Mac can't help you here Rhi. He's met her once and back then she wasn't my girlfriend. I don't think he would remember her unless I brought up an embarrasing moment she had at church.

[Dragon]

well, can u at least tell us about her if u wont let us embarrass u in front of her?

plus, if she had an embarrassing moment that u know about, I thinku should make it fair, and let us embarrass u:rolleyes: :D :eek: :D

[Annushka]

Something tells me Bran isn't going to agree with that:D:D:D

[Rhiannon]

Shush! That's the cutest avatar EVER!!!!

Mm, we'll think o' something, Bran, don't worry! :D

[Kailita]

Originally posted by Baby Sister D

I agree! It's only fair, Branish!

(*Gasp* Bran has risen in status...Kailita has bestowed the coveted "-ish" upon him :eek:...ooooh...)

[Dragon]

(ohmygoshness,whathashappened?)

bran should agree 2 it, it's only fair

[BranMuffin]

Well you see I would IF she had one up on me, but I have had plenty of stupidity/emabarrassing moments to make up for quite a while...

[Dragon]

hummahumma.... aren't u gonna tell us about her?:confused: :(

[BranMuffin]

I shall use a quote from one of my favorite movies-

"Maybe, Maybe not, eh I dunno."(Who can guess that one?)

[Dragon]

... um.... it sounds soooooo familiar...

NEW AVVIE!!!!:D :eek: :D

[BranMuffin]

Nope that's not it. heh New Avvie what kind of a guess is that...

I think I've turned this thread into the movie quote game thread...

[Dragon]

:mad: don't b evil.:mad: :rolleyes: :eek:

[BranMuffin]

I'm not being evil...

Yes, my plan to change the subject has worked!

[Wolfshead]

No, don't worry folks, I'm not rejoining, I'm just making a special guest appearance :D It's amazing what you come up with when you type your name into the search function-thing. I happened across these clever comments, all the way from the end of June ;)
Originally posted by Kailita
Yes Yay, you're quite stubborn and controversial as well :rolleyes:...but Craig was really the king of arguments. :rolleyes: Ugh. Don't ever...ever...get him started on soccer...or football, as he insists on calling it...or how to spell the word "defense" (which he will swear has the letter c in it). He won't give up until he wins. Oh, but we all know I won, don't we? Both the sport and the language started where I am, so therefore, what you have is a mere interpretation, a botched attempt to be different, if you will :p
Originally posted by Kailita
My family is usually fairly easy-going, unless the topic is something they feel very strongly about. I hardly ever argue anything unless it's important. That's why Craig took me by surprise...when I met him, I suddenly felt the urge to argue every little point...I could not stand to let him win! :rolleyes: He reminds me of a stubborn older brother. Oh, and it gets better, I'm an older brother now! ;) Wait, I am already... And of course, I would have won against you as well :D Oddly, though, I feel I've mellowed a bit over the last few months. During my search earlier, I found a lot of stuff I posted a while ago, and it's quite surprising how insensitive, moronic or blunt I'd been. I like to feel I'm a much nicer person now ;)

I can feel somewhat proud of this thread, in some ways it's my legacy to you all ;) I started it, and now this is the 805th reply!

[Annushka]

Shush! That's the cutest avatar EVER!!!!

Thanks, Rhi! :):D

[BranMuffin]

Thanks Craig, and hello from GoO's older brother...
Thank you TTF for making Craig a nicer person...
Yes, Craig you've started something and now its out of control. Well maybe not completely out of control but its still fun.

[Dragon]

no, bran, u have not been succesful, I am persistent. tell us about ur girlfriend:D :)

craig! hiya! y would we b worried if u wanted 2 rejoin? we like u!...well... at least I do... I dunno about everyone else... ~*looks around*~

[Wolfshead]

Thanks Craig, and hello from GoO's older brother... I think you really blew it when you announced you'd managed to change the subject ;)
Thank you TTF for making Craig a nicer person... Yes, a round of applause for TheTolkienForum, please? Oh, go on... please? :rolleyes:
craig! hiya! y would we b worried if u wanted 2 rejoin? we like u!...well... at least I do... I dunno about everyone else... ~*looks around*~ Someone likes me? Oh, I'm flattered ;) Why would you be worried? Well, I'm not entirely sure, but it seemed as good a way to say that I wasn't planning on rejoining as any...

And good luck there, Bran, I think you're going to need it :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

Hey! It's Craig! Hurrah! *waves to Craig* I like you too, even if I did pick on you for being chauvanistic and things.

*joins in applause for the Tolkien forum*

[Kailita]

(Chauvanistic...had to look that one up...:rolleyes: )

Awww...Craigy...*distinctly remembers being told not to add the -y suffix to Craig's name...but conveniently forgets it...* :D

You really should grace the GOO with your guest appearances more often. This thread is your gift to us, eh? Look what a monster you've created...

Yes, yes, I take full responsibility for those quotes. ;) But I really would not say that you "won" the argument - rather, I think we put it aside for the time being, due to an excess of the infamous :p face.




So :p. *Gets the last word in.* :D;)

[Wolfshead]

I like you too, even if I did pick on you for being chauvanistic and things. I still feel that was an unjust accusation (we are talking about the 'Is Craig's Avatar Scary' thread?). But I'm not going to get into that argument again :p
Awww...Craigy...*distinctly remembers being told not to add the -y suffix to Craig's name...but conveniently forgets it...* Yep, that's about right...
You really should grace the GOO with your guest appearances more often. This thread is your gift to us, eh? Look what a monster you've created... Yes, I am sorry, so very sorry :rolleyes: Maybe I'll pop up now and again, take you by surprise, steal some cookies and be gone again. Maybe.

[BranMuffin]

Guest appearance= nice!
Stealing my cookies= bad things happen to hand caught in cookie jar...
This is a good monster thread though...like Mike Wazowski.
Please continue to grace us with random intrusions and subject changing posts...

[Wolfshead]

Please continue to grace us with random intrusions and subject changing posts... Oooh, look a butterfly... *giggles inanely*, it waved at me :D

You see, now that was a subtle subject change :rolleyes:
This is a good monster thread though...like Mike Wazowski. :confused:

[BranMuffin]

Mike Wazowski is the little one-eyed green monster from Monsters Inc. the Pixar movie.

And a heavy metal guy giggling at a butterfly is kinda scary...

[Kailita]

Oh, isn't it...

Mike Wazowski is cool. :D

*Guards cookie jar*.


(Gah, this whole post has been completely random...)

[Talierin]

Our Mr Beorn looks like Mike, I swear! ;)

[Wolfshead]

Mike Wazowski is the little one-eyed green monster from Monsters Inc. the Pixar movie. Oh yeah, so he was. I've only seen it once, so I didn't remember :rolleyes:
And a heavy metal guy giggling at a butterfly is kinda scary... You see, it was remarkably clever, you were diverted from the topic at hand :p Of course, I wasn't giggling, infact I didn't even see a butterfly! I made it all up :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

And a heavy metal guy giggling at a butterfly is kinda scary...

Disturbing, in fact...

Mike Wazouski! Mike Wazouski! *loves Monsters Inc*

I still feel that was an unjust accusation (we are talking about the 'Is Craig's Avatar Scary' thread?). But I'm not going to get into that argument again

That's the one...and it is chauvanistic to make the generalization that girls freak out more easily than boys...but right, we weren't going there :D I like you anyways. My brother is a chauvanist, and I still like- well, I still tolerate him ;)

*hooks burglar alarm up to cookie jar*

[Wolfshead]

and it is chauvanistic to make the generalization that girls freak out more easily than boys...but right, we weren't going there It's sadly true, though, not chauvanistic. But yes, we did that argument to death, so that's it definately over now :p
Disturbing, in fact... And on my clever butterfly saga goes :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

*claps hand over mouth to keep from screaming about media inspired female stereotypes and saying that Craig should meet some of the girls of her acquintance*

[Wolfshead]

Yes, but try meeting some of the girls I know. I live in a small community, so whereas you will be able to mix just with the people you want to, I have to meet all different kinds of people. Of course, there are girls that don't scare easily. Just, in general, girls do scare more easily.

But this has been done to death, and we can't end it with a result other than a draw, I'm afraid :p

[Rhiannon]

But see, but see...this is an important distinction! Is it the majority of girls you know who scare more easily, or the majority of girls out of the whole entire huge freaking world who scare more easily? If it's just the majority of girls you know, then it's not chauvanistic, because it's possibly true of them...

Yes yes yes, I'm going I'm going, I'll sit in the corner, I'll shut up....:D

[Kailita]

*Giggles behind hand at Rhi and Craig* You guys thrive off arguments...or I know at least you do, Craig. :p

[Dragon]

... where'd the butterfly go?:confused: :(

...u guys.... u just.... ~*sigh*~

[Rhiannon]

It's hereditary. I have to be right. And I will sledgehammer the opposition until I win....Imagine what fun family reunions are.

Um...I think....the butterfly....er...flew away.

[Annushka]

What butterfly??

Why bother and waste so much energy trying to sledgehammer the opposition ?:D

[Rhiannon]

Because. I'm. RIGHT!

Yes, my family is really loud and obnoxious and opinionated. We're a riot. Literally.

[Dragon]

yesyesyes, shush has a point, machine guns are much better:D :D :D :D :D

[BranMuffin]

Agressive negotiations, huh?
Yes, Craig likes to argue, but Rhi likes to think she is always right(and I'm shure she will tell me so). Humbleness isn't a bad trait you know.

*points at butterfly and pretends to shoot it with his imaginary hand gun*

*is really surprised when it actually blows up!!!*

[Rhiannon]

Rhi knows she is always, right, with a very few exceptions (it's "Death, thou shalt die", not "Death, thou too shalt die" like I thought it was).

I can be plenty humble. Just not when I'm right.

[Dragon]

humbility.... is for.... the wrong... heh... well.... urgh... ~*shutting up now*~

[BranMuffin]

I thought I was wrong once, but then I found out I was wrong, and therefore right all along.

What is the death talk?

[Rhiannon]

John Donne.

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

[The-Elf-Herself]

*wanders in after a long absence* Nice poem. What's this about arguments? Those are fun, except when the other side punks out. *waves hi to everyone*

[BranMuffin]

*Waves back* Where've you been?

Rhi was arguing that she was right all the time....or something like that.

By the way where about do you live in PA? I was up there recently and might have been near you(poor you, huh).

[The-Elf-Herself]

Oh here, there. Been busy with work and whatnot, it's been crazy. Well, no one's right all the time; if she had said she's MOSTLY right, that may have been more correct, I'm not certain, having not studied the character of Miss Rhiannon Charis lady in depth. I live in Central PA, about thirty miles east of PennState University.

[Rhiannon]

I suppose 'always right with a few exceptions' could be translated as 'mostly right'.

'Mostly right'. Heh. That's sort of like being 'mostly harmless', right?

Miss Rhiannon Charis lady

Heehee, I like that.

[Dragon]

yeah, except, right (urgh they don't have the don't equal sign on my keyboard! ack) doesn't equal harmless. so.... no... not really

glad 2 b of service, miss rhiannon charis lady

tehe...:D

[BranMuffin]

I was in Lancaster, PA. and spent a day in..... Intercourse.... it's an actual town. I got a patch that says I love Intercourse PA

[Wolfshead]

Argument died in my absence, pheww... I was too busy, really, with school starting again, and playing Championship Manager :D

A town called Intercourse, oh, the jokes... Didn't they go to somewhere like that in Jackass once? It was somewhere called Mianus, wasn't it?

[Rhiannon]

Heh- I'm ready if you feel like reviving it, Craig ;) But I'll hold my silence otherwise *buttons lip*

[BranMuffin]

Children. Children. No arguing.... I said stop it. Don't make me come back there! That's it I've had it. You two go to your rooms.
(man that sounds familiar)

Didn't they go to somewhere like that in Jack*** once?


I don't know, I've never seen the show. Thankfully.

[Wolfshead]

Heh- I'm ready if you feel like reviving it, Craig No, I don't think so.
Children. Children. No arguing.... I said stop it. Don't make me come back there! That's it I've had it. You two go to your rooms. Thanks for that, Bran, it's much appreciated :rolleyes:
I don't know, I've never seen the show. Thankfully. Sometimes it can be sick, disgusting or plain childish, but on occasion when I've actually bothered to watch it, there can be really funny stuff in it :D

[Rhiannon]

No, I don't think so.

As you will it...As my friend pointed out, Ellisons would argue with a rock, so I'll just take the matter to the wall over there...

Sometimes it can be sick, disgusting or plain childish, but on occasion when I've actually bothered to watch it, there can be really funny stuff in it

Sounds like Kevin Smith.

Come Rhi, are you losing your touch? Don't let the wall beat you!:p

[Rhiannon]

The WALL is NOT even CLOSE to WINNING! *Rhian stomps out, and returns with a sledgehammer, which she proceeds to apply to the wall with gusto*

We could use more light in here anyway...

[Dragon]

hmmm.... has anyone thought about cushioned walls 4 this section of the forum?:D ;) :rolleyes:

j/k rhi

[Wolfshead]

Sounds like Kevin Smith :confused:

[Frodorocks]

*Enjoys the lovely new light, while birds fly in and settle amongst the rubble.*

[Rhiannon]

Kevin Smith = Comic book writer (currently writes for Daredevil), Uber-Geek-King, and maker of such films as Dogma, Chasing Amy, and Bill and Silent Bob Strike Back (every movie has a Star Wars reference). Also creator of the animated series 'Clerks', which only aired two episodes (and they only made six), and all around blasphemous, foul-mouthed, but really funny, really geeky guy.

[Wolfshead]

Ah, that clears that up then...

[Rhiannon]

Outcast type thing done today: Laughing hysterically all through Henry V, even though it is a serious, dramatic, Shakespeare film.

But I have to be thinking about it in order to understand Shakespeare- my sister doesn't, apparently her brain just works the right way or something- so my sister and I paraphrase/translate as we go; ie, Henry's long speech in reply to the insult from the French messenger translates as 'Man, you have really ticked me off. Now go back and tell them we're coming to get you.' This in addition to our usual commentary- 'Ooh, dirty people. Ugly nose. Okay, moving on...'

We stopped laughing during the battle scene, though. Man, that was one intense battle scene. It was less flashy than, and I think had more real oomph than, the major battles scenes in 'Braveheart'.

We also gave names to the French officials- Iguana, Spock, Beaver (the prince), and Zombie/Dead Guy.

[Froggum]

I'm taking Ancient Greek just for giggles, is that outcast-y enough? Or maybe too much? Oh well. Back to memorizing.

Alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon... (bangs head repeatedly on desk)

[Dragon]

it's....... giggle-able? really? I didn't know that.... woa

I think ur missing some letters in there...

[Wonko The Sane]

Outcast-y thing I did: I recently dyed my hair pink. FUN! :) It's like a dark magenta. :)
red-violet in the crayola colour box of my youth. ;D

[BranMuffin]

Intersting...is a Pic possible? My brother had his hair pink once(though I think he's have every color of the rainbow and then some).

[YayGollum]

Sickening. Why can't people be happy with what they have? My evil older sister made just the edges of her hair blue. Why? Stupidity. Wasteful. No offense. It's not my fault that it's incomprehensible.

[Rhiannon]

It's FUN, Yay.

So it's all pink, Wonks? Fuuun.

I'd kind of like to do a temporary blue streak- just one, on the temple.

[Annushka]

My last hair-cut experience was soooo bad that I prefer not to have any business with these people as long as possible:( If I decide to dye my hair there's absolutely no guarantee that it won't start falling out. I hate hair salons and people who work there.

[YayGollum]

Ah. I got it. So people can't be happy with what they have because the fun of being unnatural is just too much to pass up. Sounds crazy to me, but oh well. Why waste money? It's fun? Craziness. You can spend your money in better ways. *runs away* But then, I am an Outcast. Being unnatural in that way is popular.

[Dragon]

~*gasp*~ it is???

how? who-da-where????

I know it's really popular 2 get blond highlights here, something that I will never need nor want 2 do:rolleyes: :o I like subtle(-ish) hair dying, I want a bright blue streak in the front, and that's it, nuffin else... but yeah....

I told mom and she's like "oh, u can do that w/ food dye" this really suprised me, bc I would have thought if I told her I wanted 2 do something like that she'd say no, not under any circumstances, but woa! she prolly only said that bc it's very temporary...urgh:rolleyes:

thing not done but wanting 2 do:

I wanna stay inside a lot for a really long time so I can get my orange-ey-ish-ness back. I don't want blond!!!!!!!!!! I want blond 2 go away!!!!!!!!! I didn't ask for it, y must it b here!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? well, it is a very nice, shimmery, goldenish, shiny, bootyful shade of blond, but still. blond bad! me want orange back!:mad:

[Rhiannon]

*rolls eyes* Don't worry about it, Yay. We won't tell you about our clothes, either.

Blonde highlights are big here, too. All these girls look like racoons. They aren't natural looking highlights.

I liked having (subtle) highlights in my hair, because I have natural highlights, but they don't come out because I don't get a lot of sun, and without them my hair is an oh-so-lovely dishwater blonde. Yick.

[Talierin]

I got my hair highlighted the other day, so now it's got subtle blond and reddish streaks in it... I like it a lot

Oh gosh, I saw a girl at the store today that had racoon eyes.... OVERKILL on the black mascara and eyeliner... sad thing was that she was actually pretty.... needs lessons in makeup *nods*

[kohaku]

Mostly I agree that natural is best... I say no to makeup, styling my hair, and wearing uncomfortable "fashionable" clothing. But I must say, hair-dying is kinda fun. Once I tried to dye my hair purple, but I have brown hair so it just ended up with subtle dark highlights. It was neat.

[Annushka]

kohaku! Welcome back:)

I haven't ever done anything with my hair.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Ah. I got it. So people can't be happy with what they have because the fun of being unnatural is just too much to pass up. Sounds crazy to me, but oh well. Why waste money? It's fun? Craziness. You can spend your money in better ways. *runs away* But then, I am an Outcast. Being unnatural in that way is popular.

Yeah, you could say that Yay, but it IS their cash, isn't it? I got my hair streaked with copper highlights two months ago, just for the heck of it. It's my hard earned money that I waitress for, I run my bank accounts, so I do believe I can decide how to spend my own money when I want to experiment. Same with the other girls here. Why should we let what your idea(or anyone's idea) of popularity decides to dictate whether we want to mess with our hair? This isn't about that; this is an example of 'Yay completely not getting why people do this", also known as an issue of Yay saying 'Outcasts Against Everything Yay Thinks Is 'Evilly Popular'."

*steps off of soapbox with a small smile and goes off whistling*

Man, it felt good to get something out. *wanders away*

[Frodorocks]

*Whistles in awed appreciation.* Go Jam...
I've had reddish highlights in my hair for awhile. You can't really tell unless you know what you're looking for though. I got them when my dad told me I couldn't get blue streaks in my hair over the summer. My mum didn't mind as long as I dyed it back before school, but no, my dad has to refuse.:rolleyes:

[Kailita]

Kohaku! Jam! Where have you two BEEN? *Attacks with huggling*

Hmm. I think streaks are cool if they're done right. But I don't think I'd ever do it to my own hair. I like my hair fine, and I'd be afraid of screwing something up and not being able to fix it.

Outcast Type Things Done. Hmm again. Well, my bottles have accumulated to the point where I can no longer keep track of them anymore. I think I'm almost to 80...or maybe past 80. Heh. People at school who didn't even know me last year are bringing me bottles...even if they don't know my name, they know me as "The Crazy Bottle Girl". :rolleyes::D

Also: The school security guards are onto me. *Looks around, paranoid*. I know they're watching me...they've posted security guards right by the stair rails. Just waiting to catch me when I succumb to the temptation to slide down. Naturally, that just means that I have to be more cautious about my rail-sliding habits. Give it up completely? That's just absurd. :D

[The-Elf-Herself]

*shrinks back* Eeeek! It's hugses from Kai! *hides but grins* It's nice to be back. :)

Outcast things...well, I sing in the dish room. Very loudly. At the top of my lungs. Usually either The Song That Never Ends or 99 Bottles of Beer On the Wall or What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor.:D However, because I do such wonderful work washing dishes, no one can say anything. Mwahaha.

[Rhiannon]

Goodness, Kaia. You need to make a bottle sculpture, or something.

Outcast type thing done: Wearing my new Cambridge University t-shirt and reveling in feeling pretentious :D

That's awesome, Jam. :) I love to sing...but I'd be really embarrassed to sing in front of a lot of people if it wasn't in a show or something. It's weird...I don't mind singing in front of audiences...but singing informally around lots of other people is just hard for me. *Shrugs* I always wish that I could, though.

New Outcast-Type Thing Done ---> I RECYCLED MY BOTTLES! :eek::eek::eek: But that was the original plan in the first place, so it's all right. I earned 5 bucks, too! *Is rolling in the wealth*. So now I only have one bottle left...a really cute mini-water bottle (if a bottle has the ability to be cute) that I couldn't bring myself to recycle...so I'm keeping it in my bedroom as kind of a momento of my first pack of bottles. My mom rolls her eyes every time she sees it. :rolleyes: So now I get to start a whole new batch of bottles! At this rate, I'll probably have fifteen by the start of next week. :D

[Dragon]

ack! have u seen the ity-bitsy 12 oz. minute maid bottles? they is the cutesest!!!!!!!!:D

...couldn't he;p meself...:rolleyes: :o

[Rhiannon]

Wow! Kaia recycled her bottles!!! :eek: Hee, I have a little coke can I keep...I think it's an 8oz as opposed to a 12oz. Anyway, I think it's adorable. :D I also have a foreign coke can.

[The-Elf-Herself]

That's awesome, Jam. I love to sing...but I'd be really embarrassed to sing in front of a lot of people if it wasn't in a show or something.

Nah, see I like that kind of silly singing.

That's awesome that you recycled them Kai, although I did have a moment of silence for the dearly departed bottles once I read that.

[Rhiannon]

Well, today I stood on the highest point in Oklahoma (Mount Scott- not much of a mountain, if you ask me, but v. pretty), I came within ten yards of some bison, and I walked around the permanent set of the 'longest running passion play in America'.

This wasn't particularly outcasty, but it was the best I could do on short notice.

[Dragon]

.... y r u taking a sabbatical, rhi? that's....not good....

outcasty thing done....erm...well, when me and my big bro got home 2day, as soon as I got out of the car he started driving it back and forth so I couldn't get my stuff out, so I jumped on top of the car and started acting like I was having seizures and banging the top of the car a lot... when my bro finally stopped and got out he was crying he was laughing so hard, the ppl across the street were pointing at me and speaking spanish...lots of spanish...

I don't usually do stuff that spastic, but it "this calls for acion!!!" and other stupid stuff like that....:D :D :D

[The-Elf-Herself]

Um, sounds like fun D. Sounds interesting at least. I would have like to have seen that.

Outcast things-well, I spent half the day working through yet another new civilization. Very catching to write those. And I spent it singing the Oscar Meyer Wiener song, just because I felt like it and who's to stop me?

[Dragon]

:D:D:D:D:Dyou're a weiner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D

[MacAddict]

Well how about playing games like WarCraft and StarCraft till your fingers are knumb, your feet are frozen and your ears hurt from headfones, does that qualify? :D Then after that you wandering around repeating "WarCraft. WarCraft. WarCraft. WarCraft. WarCraft. WarCraft." for several hours. Or any long, hard game for that matter.

~MacAddict

[Dragon]

um, well, no, the numbness is...well....ungood... I like to quote things from warcraft tho...yesh...funnnessssss.....

and I would repeat them, but the best ones might b considered inappropriate:rolleyes: :o

[BranMuffin]

Mortar Combat!!! heh heh

I know how that is Mac, I don't use headphones though.
A bunch of friends and I stayed u pall night playing a LAN game of Starcraft. We saw the sunrise and we were like oh well too late to sleep now, so we kept playing.
Actually they were the same friends that we made that movie with. Good fun. Good fun.

This is not Warcraft in space!
It's much more sophisticated...
I know it's not 3 D.

[Annushka]

I know absolutely nothing about those comp games. Except for Mortal Combat which I was very bad at:(

Outcast type thing done - when I go to sleep after being here my dreams are full of conversations with different people from here:o :eek: Isn't that weird????

[Kailita]

Ooh, that's not weird, Shush, that's cool! :)

Mortal Kombat. *Stands in awe*. I am quite the worthy opponent when playing Mileena, Kitana, or Jade. Comes from long hours of nonstop MK with my brothers. But I've always preferred Street Fighter. Chun Li's cool...and there's less blood.

D, I'd be interested to know what those people were saying about you. :rolleyes:

The Oscar Meyer song, Jam? Oh man...major kudos for that one. :D Very outcasty.

I know, Jam...*sniff*...I know. But their time had come...*nods solemnly*...they were ready to go.

Oh yes...and speaking of my bottles...new Outcast-Type Thing Done ---> Today I probably broke a record of most bottles collected in one day. I started out with about five walking from lunch to math - I always get lots of bottles during lunch because everyone is too lazy to get up and throw their trash away, so they just give it to me. :rolleyes::) So I walked into English with three bottles in my arms and two in my backpack...and a handful of people noticed and asked about it, so I told them about my little collection...and by the time I left English, I had six more bottles, putting me at eleven. It's surprising how lazy people can be. And how many questions they can ask to a simple question like, "Can I have that bottle when you're done with it?" :rolleyes: And then in Spanish there was a bottle waiting for me on my desk (one of my friends in that class always leaves one for me :)), so that inspired more questions, and after that class I had accumulated three more bottles - for a grand total of 14 at the end of the day. :D And add that to the nine I already had at home - and you get 23! Yay! (A whole $1.15! :rolleyes::D)

[Dragon]

mmmm, kaia, the financial expert peron-ish-ness....er....yah... just ignore me, kay? ok...:o

they were prolly sayin summat like "what the wisconsin is she doin?!?":D :D :D

[Turin]

One really fun game is Soul Caliber 2, very entertaining, fun too, I hope to buy the game soon, once I get money that I don't have to spend on something else.

[Kailita]

Soulcaliber! (Or however the heck you spell it...) Yes, I've played the demo version of that...reeeally cool. :) My brothers and I want to get it, but I doubt they have it for our game system.

[Dragon]

mmmm, we have soulblade, pretty much the one taht comes b4 it, just not as cool

I'm saving money 4 a turntable:D

[Talierin]

Like a turntable for old records? I have one of those.... I collect ABBA records :D (hey, it gives me something to look for when mom hauls us to the thrift stores)

[Wonko The Sane]

Yeah, but Tal...why ABBA?! :)

[Talierin]

Cause I love ABBA! Even saw the musical (which is awesome) I have all but one album on cd, so I figured I might as well start on the old vinyls :D

[Wonko The Sane]

Hmm...I dunno...ABBA...hmm....WHY ABBA?!
Why do you love them so much? They're *shudders* Swedish!!
I once dated something Swedish...*EEEEEW*

[Rhiannon]

We have a turntable! We've had it all along, but it hasn't had a needle for ages and ages- after it got broken repeatedly by small children. But now that we're all older Papa fixed it, and I love it because I can listen to Papa's old records (yes, I listen to my parents music. Sue me). And the only recording we have of Rhapsody in Blue is on vinyl.

Outcast type thing done: I know most of the words to "Johnny Fedora" (which is a short animated musical about a hat, narrated by a chorus- no actual talking). "Johnny Fedora met Alice Blue Bonnet in the window of the department store..."

WarCraft is cool. I'm terrible at it (also terrible at Risk, chess, and anything else involving strategy of any kind), of course, but I did enjoy going and clicking on the little people until they said funny things.

[Talierin]

I dunno why I like them... they're just good :D they had about 20 international hits back in their day, they ain't all that bad

[Wonko The Sane]

Hmm...I guess I like Dancing Queen. :)
And Rhia, my family has an old turntable too, and my parents have an AMAZING record collection. Most of them are my dad's but some of them are collector's items! :)

Hehehe, ditto. Same with Age of Empires...I just like ordering the little people around. Or setting the game up so the enemy is surrounded by a large wolf pack, and then waiting to see how long it takes them to be devoured. Oh yes, funness...

Records are cool. There is no punishment for listening to your parents' music (unless it's unbelievably horrible).

[Annushka]

Yay, yay - Age of empires!!! I know that game. i used to play it all the time. Up until watching those little people in my dreams. After that I decided to clear my poor head from that stuff. Now I see geometrical figures at nights:o

Loud music is OK for a while - 1/2 hour maximum. After that I get a headache!

[Rhiannon]

I listen to Jim Croce and James Taylor and Petulia Clark and Styx and the Alan Parsons Project and the Mommas and the Papas and the Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel and Vivaldi and Mozart and Bach and Beethoven and bagpipe music and Celtic and opera and Broadway and...

I just like ordering the little people around. Absolutely!

[Talierin]

The LOUDER the better, woohoo!

I like christian rock, ska, punk, etc, ABBA, Enya, Loreena McKennitt, soundtracks, Broadway....

[BranMuffin]

LOL, I bet you didn't know that if you click on an animal a lot of times it blows up! Funny stuff...

[Rhiannon]

I did! My brother would spend the whole game just blowing up critters. He's so cruel :(

[Turin]

I've never played Warcraft:eek:, I hope to sometime at Mac's house but I'm not really into computer games.

[Dragon]

tehe, my dad's playing warcraft right now, and I told him that (about the animals) and now he's trying 2 find one 2 blow up:D

:D the initials 4 my ppls tae kwon doe school is ABBA(american black belt academy) and that really confuses ppl:D :D

[Turin]

I don't like tae kwon doe that much, too easy, well atleast all the schools around here where your garanteed a black belt.

[Dragon]

~*snorts*~


then u prolly aren't going 2 a very good school.

the ppl from our school pretty much always win at tournaments, which may sound like an overstatement, but it's not. it's a good school

[Turin]

I don't even do tae kwon doe, I've just heard and read about the schools around here and there easy, I've seen kids walk out of the dojo with black belts that are still wearing dypers, your school might be better than the ones in my town, I'm sure that the schools here aren't the real thing. I do Kempo Karate, which consists of judo, jui jitsu, karate and weapons.

[Dragon]

I think I confuse ppl sometimes bc we call it karate, but it's actually tae kwon doe, and the ppl that know the difference think that we do both, which we don't, so I'm practicing saying tae kwon doe instead of karate:rolleyes: :o

[Turin]

Its too much to type out, I copied and pasted it when I said it in my post. I like my style karate better because its more practical hand to hand and street moves kinda stuff, I also do a little kung fu, not that much though.

[BranMuffin]

Oh yeah! Well my Dad can kick your Dad's butt...

Man I feel like a kid again. Good ol' days...

I don't take any martial art, I figure that it can't stop bullets so it really doesn't matter. Plus I am big enough that people usually don't mess with me. Though I've come to find out that somehow girls can see right through my big tuff guy look and see the real me... a big softy.

[Rhiannon]

A big...soft....teddy bear!

That's scary. Really scary.

Yeah I know. But you can't do anything about the person if he's hundreds of yards away. If up close then martial arts may come in handy.... then again so would a gun of your own.... a bigger one than theirs. Guns don't kill people, I kill people.(on a shirt in Happy Gilmore.)

No teddy bear for Rhi!

[Rhiannon]

No teddy bear for Rhi!
*sulks*

Instead I have an obnoxious cat that keeps crawling all over my paper. "Cat...I can't see to draw with you doing that..."

[BranMuffin]

Ok. ok. You can have a teddy bear but not me. I already belong to someone else.

My cat does that all the time, too. I'm trying to read and, whoomp, there she goes right onto the book.

[Talierin]

No stealing mine either! ;) :D *cough*

[Annushka]

I very much doubt that Rhia was going to steal anybody from anybody!!!!

Plus, Bran can be her teddy-bear-brother!!!

And Bran you can't do anything about it: you're too teddy-bearish:D

[Rhiannon]

Yeah, Rhia very much doubts that Rhia will be stealing anyone from anybody either!

*takes consolation teddy bear*

This was a huge conspiracy/joke earlier this year- since Tal and Lomie are seriously attached, I was feeling sort out left out, so I started wondering about whether it were possible for find a guy that a could theoretically form an attachment to (who wasn't related to me).

All my friends were looking for me. We never did find anyone. This might be due to the fact that I can count the unattached guys I know on one hand-

Eli: too old, even though he does read Jane Austen. Also he's around my sister a lot more than he is me.

Chris: cousin of my good friend, but...well, no. No chance.

Quest: technically he's not attached, but he's in love with my close friend- the one Chris is the cousin of. Also he's four inches shorter than I am.

And that's it. Good thing I'm not seriously looking right now.

[BranMuffin]

It's ok Rhi one day....one day....

And what does being shorter have to do with anything?
*Thinks Rhi might need to get out more to meet new guys*
Church might be a good place to start looking some of the guys might have their heads on straight. Here (http://www.marklowry.com/outside/funnies/pick_up_lines.htm) are some pick up lines that might work. I dunno I've never tried them.

And Bran you can't do anything about it: you're too teddy-bearish

I wouldn't know about that. I'll have to ask my girlfriend...

Tal I think your teddy bear isn't much of a teddy just more of a bear.

[Talierin]

*sticks tongue out at BearMuffin* HA!

[Wonko The Sane]

Hmm....Rhia...sometimes it's better not to look...


In my experience looking for guys always either failed or brought me trouble...

So I decided to be like a sea anemone and wait for the guys to come to me. ;)

[Dragon]

anenananamamae

:D :cool: :D :D :cool:

it's fun to play w/ words.....:cool: :D

[Wonko The Sane]

Right...but not when you have to spam to do it. ;) :rolleyes:

[Dragon]

oops....... I'm sorry, that was a pointless post, wasn't it?

um....... those are.... interesting, bran.....yeah.... actually, they're kinda good:o

rhi, I think wonks is right tho, looking wont work, just... just see... that should work:D mehehehehe:rolleyes: :eek: :D

[Wonko The Sane]

Question: I seem to have missed a lot...

Why is Bran a teddy-bear? *has re-read things and still doesn't understand*

[Talierin]

Umm, cause he's just got that teddy bear personality.... gruff on the outside, but a big old softie on the inside.... also cause of a certain photoshopped pic that's around here somewheres *looks around and whistles innocently*

[Wonko The Sane]

Aaah...I've seen the pic. :)

Hehe. I guess I understand a bit better now...

*HOOTS!!!!*

WOOOO!!! 4 FRIGGIN DAYS UNTIL ENGLAND TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Almost 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[Rhiannon]

And what does being shorter have to do with anything?

Well, I'm not just tall I'm...er...big. If I do find true love, I'd rather not squish him on accident.

Really, I'm not looking. But the conspiracy was fun while it lasted. There were annoying chants involved, as Tal might remember.

Yay for Wonks going to England! *jealous*

[Rhiannon]

Oh yes-

Outcast Type Thing Done: On Thursday I wore my medieval boots to school, just because I could (Mom wasn't around to sigh and groan at me). These are my black suede lace up knee high boots, and I wore them with a black shirt and a khaki skirt.

Nobody really seemed to notice, though; and they were fun to wear. I felt so cool.

And here's the best part...for some reason unknown to me, my grandmother subscribed to Vogue. She can't have ever looked at it before, because my grandmother is a Southern Lady Baptist Sings in the Choir Gets Her Hair Done Once a Week and Always Eats at Caroline's Country Cafe sort of person. So she gets Vogue, but doesn't read it, so that's what I do to entertain myself when I'm at her house.

And guess what was in the Sept. issue? (aside from big Mongolian fur hats)

Yup. Knee high suede boots, khaki skirt, black shirt. All much more expensive and rather uglier and weirder than mine, but still.

[Kailita]

Cheers for medieval boots! :D Don't worry about finding your true love, Rhian, you already have...your bootses. :)

Freshmen at my school seem to find it funny that I slide down the stair rails. I mean...I guess I can see why...but no one last year ever seemed to find it funny. And all the sophomores are so used to seeing me do it that they just think it's natural. But every time I slide down these days, the freshmen giggle or stare or treat it like some big thing. And it's really not. It's just fun. :) It would only be a big thing if I got caught again...which I will, if they don't all shut up and stop drawing attention. :rolleyes: I've timed myself so that I slide down at the exact same time that the especially nasty security guard takes his shift on the balcony...which means he can't see me. :D But still...too much giggling would draw his attention, and that would definitely be a bad thing.

[Dragon]

And guess what was in the Sept. issue? (aside from big Mongolian fur hats)

ok, this is where I say yuck...

Yup. Knee high suede boots, khaki skirt, black shirt. All much more expensive and rather uglier and weirder than mine, but still.

that's the way the world turns, rhi, steal as much stuff as possible from everyone else, then make it your own by either making it extremely ugly or slutty, or both.

it never fails

invite the freshmen to join you! mehehehe, they think it's...odd, don't they, they think it's.... outcasty, don't htey?

um.......

maybne it's best not ot pay attention to me right now.... I'm still sorta not awake

[Kailita]

Oh, I'm going to go farther than just inviting them to join me...*evil smile*. I was thinking more along the lines of duct taping them to skateboards, then sending the skateboards on their way down the stair rails...:D

[Rhiannon]

Cheers for medieval boots! Don't worry about finding your true love, Rhian, you already have...your bootses.

Oh yes...My one true love!

Hee, Kaia...poor unsuspecting freshmen! Little do they know what is in store for them!

[Turin]

I'm not looking forward to high school, though I'm probably going to homeschool through it because my brother goes to public school and he has piles of homework.

[Rhiannon]

Outcast type things done today (oh boy!):

1) skipped down the main aisles of Wal-Mart humming 'Rule Britannia' loudly

2) attempted to teach my sister to waltz in the Barbie aisle (appropriate place, neh?)

3) attempted to teach my brother to waltz in the Barbie aisle with resulted in

4) chasing my brother around the toy department saying 'Aw, I only wanna dance wif you a widdle bit!' and shouting 'Chase scene in progress!' whenever we went past people.

5) pushing the cart for my mother while doing my Igor impression, dragging one foot, and saying 'Yeth, Mathter'

6) getting a running start, then standing on the cart and riding it down the main aisle shouting 'Ware!' at people who got in my way

7) letting my brother get a running start and stand on the cart riding it down the aisle while shouting 'Ware!' at people who got in his way and yelling 'Hold!' at him

8) led my sister across the store at a cracking pace while humming 'Rule Britannia' loudly, and shouting 'Hold!' when I wanted her to stop and shouting 'Hard port!' when I wanted her to go left.

9) attempted to teach my sister to do the can-can in the flour aisle

10) attempted to teach my sister the tango in the purse aisle

And I got gel pens, and I am seriously considering buying a pair of suede patchwork brown boots. I'll get them if they're still there tomorrow and I don't see any I like better at Payless.

[Rhiannon]

Oh yes, and I have lately been obsessed with heraldry- designing it, specifically. I'm very pleased with my results, and I just put them in my art thread (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=358244#post358244) *nudge nudge*

[Kailita]

Wow Rhi, your art is lovely...especially the sea woman and the Sleeping Beauty and the woman made of dots. :) That's great! And the shield was really cool...I've always loved heraldry and all the symbols behind the pictures...

I am always incredibly bored when my mother drags me to Wal-Mart with her, but your list of ideas has greatly helped to inspire me. :D Rule Britannia!

[Rhiannon]

Thanks, Kaia *happy beam* And that's the shield my deep thought is off of (just replied to your question else-thread)

Wal-Mart is great fun, especially when Rhian is in a Mood. Oh yes, and while all this was going on, our car battery somehow mysteriously broke and my dad was in the auto department getting a new one.

[Arebeth]

I sang Rule Britannia today in the school restaurant. But anyway, I don't think they recognised it...

[Dragon]

um.... what's rule brittiana? it sounds really familiar, but... what is it?

walmart makes me uber-hyper...

I dunno y, but after I go to walmart I really energized (???) for the rest of the day

[Rhiannon]

It's the song always played in connection to Britain- you know, Dum - dum dum dum - Dum DUM da dum dum dum....

[Dragon]

um.......that's.... REAL descriptive, rhi. loads of songs could be described like that....eh, I'll ask one of my ppls:rolleyes: :o

[stizzle]

her hyperness does exceed my own!
um..how could you not know that song?!? its just like the one that goes dum dum da dum duummm DA DUM DUM dum ...dum

[Dragon]

ok....that's just cold.

all the dumdadumdums are reminding me of the star trek theme

*shudders*

heheh... stizzle's seen me right after I've gone 2 walmart... I think I traumatized him....oops:rolleyes: :D

[Rhiannon]

What outcasty things have I done lately? Hm...

I wore my medieval boots to church. I had my dad take pictures of me in my medieval boots. I had my dad take pictures of me standing on a brick wall in my medieval boots. I had my dad take pictures of me standing on a brick wall holding a black cat in my medieval boots. I had my dad take pictures of me up on the roof of the shed holding a black cat in my medieval boots....

[Turin]

I haven't done many outcasty things lately, actually I haven't done much of anything lately, except sitting around the house doing loads of school and stuff. I'm losing my social life, I need to get out of the house more!:eek:

[YayGollum]

Ack! That made no sense at all. It is an Outcastish type thing to do to hide inside and do nothing. The more normal types value their social life enough to care. Insanity.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Outcast Things Done-Um, well in chemistry class on Tuesday my writing buddy and I laughed out loud right in the middle of class for apparently no reason, at least none that the others could see. In fact, we were studying the periodic table and I had just realized that 'Argon'(a gas) is also the name of a little-known brother of Fingon and Turgon who died in the Crossing of the Helcaraxë(at least, he's there in an early draft that I read). For some reason this seemed hilarious to us and we couldn't help the hysterical laughter. :D

[Turin]

Heres an outcast type thing to do, when someone asks you a yes or no question give them a totally random answer like 18 or something, I'm sure some of you have already done that, just thought I'd make a suggestion.

[Rhiannon]

FORTY TWO! FORTY TWO

[Turin]

89! Talk about spamming.:rolleyes:

Numbers?!? Come on, the best one is Your Mom! :D

[Turin]

'Your mom' does work in some cases.

[Dragon]

monkeys seem to work well.... and so does responing in pig latin or frenchor better yet, saying random things in other languages! hehe, the best of both worlds...:D :D :D

[Turin]

Potatos work well too, if someone asks you why you did something just say potatos.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Outcast thing-well, I dunno if this is truly outcasty, but I've taken to staring off into space at the oddest things lately. It's intentional, you see whenever inspiration hits me(as it's been doing with alarming frequency), I tend to just space out until I have something I can use(that's the part where you lunge for the notebook and write like there's no tomorrow). Now I've decided that if I'm going to space out, I'm going to space out in an interesting way, so I've taking to staring at heating vents, a corner of the ceiling, the handle of a cabinet-it's great fun to see people sort of look where you're looking, to try and see what the heck is so fascinating about a piece of lint.:D

[Rhiannon]

Me too, Jam! "What are you looking at?" "Nothing." "What are you doing?" "Thinking."

I think too much. I just be walking along and I'll sort of stop...or walk in to something. I was thinking!

[The-Elf-Herself]

*nods* Exactly! And sometimes my parents will ask me 'why do you look so angry?' and I'm like 'I'm NOT angry, I'm thinking!'.

[MacAddict]

I think outloud and my fam has gotten used to it. Like when I'm trying to find a problem in the comp or something I'll sit there and literaly talk to it, mumbling of course, thats really the secret if you want to avoid stupid questions, just mumble, or wander around outside, thats what I tend to do usally.

~MacAddict

[Kailita]

Numbers, potatoes, monkeys, your mom, and random answers = lots of confusion, lots of fun. :D Personally, I have a proclivity towards the random answer of "puppy biscuits", but that's just me.

Staring off into space is one of my characteristic-Kailita-things, so I know how that is. ;) Thinking is important. But it's funny how it can change your facial expressions. A lot of times when I get an inspiration for a story that I'm writing, I start mouthing the dialogue...and my expressions change according to the character speaking...it's a little disconcerting when people catch me in the middle of that. :rolleyes:

I do both. :) Unfortunately, when I talk to myself I'm very clear - as opposed to mumbling or murmuring - so when people catch me at it, they know just what I'm thinking. But I do wander aimlessly quite a bit, especially when I'm pondering...

[Rhiannon]

Me too! Especially when I'm listening to music with headphones on, I start having bizarre conversation with myself. It creeps people out :D

Here's a kind of outcasty thing: I'm a lot like the author of Eregon- you may have seen it, fantasy novel by a teenager, there was a good bit of marketing based on that. I haven't read it, but this New York Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/07/books/07DRAG.html) from the other day made me sit up and take notice; I'll have to read it now, because this kid sounds scarily like a slightly more extreme version of me.

He loves Wagner and holds forth learnedly on the "Ring" cycle. His agent's idea of a publication present was a recording of the entire "Ring." He keeps Seamus Heaney's translation of "Beowulf" by his bed.
Love that Ride of the Valkyries. We have a graphic novel of the first part of the Ring cycle. I know everything there is to know about Seigfried and Brunhild. I haven't managed Beowulf yet, but I've read parts of it.

Despite his lack of formal schooling he invented three languages for his characters of dwarves, elves and humanoids, some based on Old Norse, some from scratch.
A pause to say BAH to the writer of the article. "Despite" indeed. How about 'because of', hm?

The story of the title character, Eragon, who has a mysterious parentage and wields a magic sword, was inspired, he said, by "Le Morte d'Arthur," "Beowulf," Norse and Icelandic sagas, the "Ring" cycle and the fantasy books he loves: Bruce Coville's "Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher," about a boy who buys an egg that hatches into a dragon; "The Worm Ouroboros," by Eric Rucker Eddison; and the "Dragonriders of Pern" series by Anne McCaffrey.
Someone else in the world knows and loves Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher!!!! I checked that book out every week from when I was 10 to 13. I read Le Morte d'Arthur back then too (don't care for Mallory so much, though- like White). I memorized a book my brother checked out about Norse mythology when I was eight (the illustration of Hel was deliciously creepy). I have Eddison's Zimiamvia trilogy in the bathroom ready to be read.

Meanwhile, they home-schooled Christopher and Angela, because, they said, the children were precocious and worried that they would feel out out of place in a formal school. Kenneth Paolini said he wanted them to have time "to watch the clouds, to have thinking space."
...thank you, that is what homeschooling is all about.

When Christopher became interested in pirates, "I made a pirate map," he said, "and soaked it in tea and singed the edges so it looked like a real pirate map."
...mine caught fire. Go figure.

He said he had read more than 3,000 books but knows "nothing about math."
I'm in love.

[Kailita]

Gosh, Rhi, this guy's your soulmate. ;):D Homeschooled, deep-thinker, reader, creative...yeah, you're destined for each other.

[Rhiannon]

I know...It's just uncanny. Well, my parents never belonged to an extreme survivalist cult, but that's practically the only difference.

[Dragon]

...I'm thinking along the lines of him being rhi.

mmm.... I don't look at things, I look past things, or don't really look at all, I do the whole glassy eyed, zoning out thing, and I zone out a lot. I zone out in the middle of my sentences sometimes, it's just not normal...

type thing done--> due to my total lack of gore-withstanding-ness, I went to a movie the other day which I just didn't want to watch, there was a needle, and there was *shudders* cartoon gore. that's the worst ever... anyways, since I didn't think it wise to stay in the movie theatre, I sat outsied in the hall, crosslegged, w/ my eyes almost closed, so close it must have looked like they were, because t3 teenage boys decided to come running at me from the side, and I guess it kinda surprised them when I opened my eyes really fast, and my head snapped around to look at them properly... they're eyes got really wide and they ran away... I later heard them saying to eachother "man, how did she do that?"

thus the reason y I never completely close my eyes when meditating, or waiting for sum1/sumthing. you never know when some stupid ppl are gonna decide to mess with you.

...and, it provides much entertainment when they don't expect you to know they're coming:D :D :D

[Rhiannon]

Hurrah, D! Mwahahahahaha!

I'm thrilled all the way down to my stinky socks- we went this weekend to see my brother's play (it was awesome, he ruled, a good time and lots of Chinese food was had by all), and we shopped for fabric (I didn't find any), and I DID find the one poster that I have been wanting wanting wanting: The Accolade (http://www.mayhemltd.com/poster/accolade.jpg). And I found a poster of Ombria in Shadow (http://www.kycraft.com/Poster%20detail%20pages/Ombria%20Poster%20detail.html) (I have the book that this is the cover of- It's by Patricia McKillip, and I collect all her books with Craft covers). AND this Alphonse Mucha poster (http://images.art.com/images/products/SMALL/10089000/10089746.jpg).

Happy happy happy.

[Kailita]

D, you are absolutely crazy. :rolleyes::D:) I'm not a big fan of gore in movies either. Or needles. I especially hate needles. Watching people get injected...*shudders*...*covers eyes*...

Rhi, those are beautiful, especially the first one. And that red haired chick sure has a lot of curly hair!

[Rhiannon]

Aren't they lovely? *sighs happily* Yes, Craft's women always have lots of hair.

Outcasty type thing done: At this moment I am performing my third online knighting ceremony, this time for my friend Cadenza.

[Kailita]

Ooh, online knighting? With a ceremony and everything? What do you do?

[Rhiannon]

Heehee, I was hoping someone would ask! It goes a little something like this...

WARNING! LONG! This was when we knighted Quest the first time- he's actually been knighted twice- and I drafted Tal to be a witness.
Talierin: yo
Quest: Hello
Quest: *is shy*
Rhiannon: Katy, Quest, Quest, Katy
Rhiannon: *coughs*
Rhiannon: *unrolls large official scroll thingy*
Talierin: nice to meet you :)
Quest: Pleasure is mine dear
Rhiannon: Hear ye, hear ye! We are come forth on this day...er, night...no, day...To see the knighting of this noble sir! *waves hand at Quest*
Talierin: *claps*
Quest: *steps foward a bit flushed*
Rhiannon: *puts down scroll and realizes she is still attired in jeans* Oops... *gestures and is now wearing a brilliant blue gown, laced in front, with dagged sleeves*
Rhiannon: Much better!
Talierin: *snaps her fingers and is now attired in official-looking robes*
Quest: *looks at own Jeans* yikes this isnt proper
Quest: *snaps fingers and is in PJs*
Quest: Shoot
Rhiannon: Here...
Rhiannon: *waves hand and attires Quest in suitably opaque black leggings, tall black boots, and white tunic*
Quest: Thank you dear, Ive been meaning to get that fixed
Quest: Oo I like this
Rhiannon: My pleasure. Where was I?
Quest: Sorry Carry on
Quest: Um the scrolll
Rhiannon: Ah yes. Quest, come forward! *stands tall and official like*
Quest: *steps foward*
Quest: *glances at Talierin and pushes fingers up from side for a quick wave*
Quest: *smiles*
Rhiannon: Do you, sir, come before these representatives of the Three Sisters in good faith, with a true heart, and of your own will?
Quest: I do
Talierin: *smartly salutes*
Rhiannon: Do you come prepared to swear yourself to knightly service? To give yourself to the code of chivalry? And to be bound by such oaths as I shall give you?
Quest: Whole heartedly, I do
Rhiannon: *smiles* Then kneel, good sir
Talierin: *nods approvingly from the audience*
Quest: *kneels and looks to ground*
Rhiannon: Give me your hands, my lord
Quest: *exstends hands*
Rhiannon: *arranges Quest's hands so that they are back-to-back and places her palms over his*
Quest: *feels a bit dumb but keeps a straight face through it all*
Rhiannon: Now answer me 'aye' or 'nay', sir, e'n I question you
Quest: *nods*
Rhiannon: Do you vow to respect the weak and the helpless, and make yourself their defender?
Quest: aye
Rhiannon: Do you vow that thou shall never lie, that you will live your life in honour, and that your pledged word shall be your bond, and that of your house?
Quest: aye*nods in agreance*
Rhiannon: Do you vow to treat all ladies and members of the gentle sex with honour and respect, to value and cherish them, and make yourself their defender in need?
Quest: Aye Milday Aye
Rhiannon: Do you vow to give your earthly allegience to your liege lord (or ladies), to do as they bid (in that it does not conflict with the teachings of Our Lord), and to be their vassal in good faith?
Quest: aye
Rhiannon: Then do you vow to live your life in Truth, Honour, Loyalty, and Courtesy, that you shall in every place and time always be the champion of Right and Good, and the foe of Evil and Injustice?
Quest: Aye
Rhiannon: Then *Kat releases Quest's hands and takes up a long, slender, gold-hilted sword and lays the flat of the blade upon Quest's shoulder*
Rhiannon: By the power vested in me as the Eldest of the Three, the Wyrd, the Fates, and in my own right as High Queen of Tithia, and Ruler of the Isle of Book-End..
Rhiannon: I dub thee Sir Quest *she touches the blade to his left shoulder* Defender of the Helpless, Protector of the Weak, Vassal of the Three Sisters, *she touches his right shoulder again* And most gentile parfit knight.
Rhiannon: *Kat sets the sword point down in front of her* Rise, Sir Quest!
Quest: *bows head in one last act of repect to Her majesty*
Quest: *rises to see her face to face*
Talierin: *walks up and wacks Sir Quest on the shoulder* Be thou a good knight
Rhiannon: *curtsies to Katy* Thank you for being a most excellent witness, milady, and for delivering the knightly blow
Quest: I will Do All i can to be that great knight

[Rhiannon]

...my first and shortest knighting ceremony. The second time we knighted Quest (when more of the Sisters were present) was a long, complicated affair, because we ended up simultaniously designing our coats of arms; it's in my livejournal here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/charismitaine/45849.html#cutid1)

Tonight's ceremony wasn't as elaborate as that one because people kept LEAVING- by the time I got to the accolade bit it was just me and Denzi, plus Kay and Syf who showed up late. Rhiannon loves pomp and ceremony!

[Rhiannon]

And an outcast type thing not related to smacking people with imaginary swords...

I just spend an hour or so playing with wax. In case anyone ever wondered, the best way to seal a letter is to fold it sharply so it lies as flat as possible, and hold a crayon three or so inches above it, torch the crayon but take the heat away as soon as one drop of wax falls otherwise you get to much (and if you hold it too close it doesn't spread out enough and is too thick). Wait until it just barely loses the 'wet shiny' look, and then press the stamp in lightly and lift away (careful not to smudge). Ta-da!

[Talierin]

Or just buy sealing wax (they come in convienent little disks), place it where you want it, heat it with a hairdryer until slightly melty, and then press your stamp into it :rolleyes:

[Rhiannon]

Well if you want to do it the easy way....

Whimp *sniff*

:p

[Arebeth]

Is singing very loudly a German song with some Germans when you have no idea what you are saying and when the girls you're suppose to be with are begging the friendship of some boring Frenchmen (I have nothing against Frenchmen, understand me) an outcast-type thing???

[Rhiannon]

Yup. Sing away!

[BranMuffin]

Watermelon.....if you don't know the words t oa song just keep saying watermelon. Or you could just go with the traditional la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaa....

[Turin]

One outcast type thing to do is to go to a totally retarded movie(like harry potter or agent cody banks 2) and stand up and yell 'Hey could you shut up your dog', then someone else(one of your friends) in the opposite side of the theatre will stand up and say 'hey why don't you shut up your dog', the first person yells 'I don't have a dog, and if I did, I wouldn't bring it to the theatre', person 2 yells 'well excuse me for breathing, I'll be sure not to let a pin drop'. I plan on doing this soon. :D

[Dragon]

hmm... today at an assembly, me and the girl next to me were making paper boats, and we were talking about making an armada of paper boats.
the boy on the other side of me told me I was weird. I said "well, I already knew that, tell me something I don't know." then we started talking about paper boats and the like again, and I looked back at him and he was still staring at me, so I said "what's so bad about being weird?" he looks speechless for a minute and says"...it's.... weird..." nancy (the girl on the other side of me) said "well, you're weird" and he says "no I'm not!"

I laughed at him. after all, everyone is weird to someone. some just more than others.

[Wonko The Sane]

Um...so...I watched The Ring the other night...and in the end when the couple is back in the cabin where Naomi first watched the video...Snaga called....and the phone ringing FREAKED me and my dad out...and so...yeah...we jumped...HIGH.

Then I couldn't go to sleep that night, so I listened to a show on the radio about the paranormal...and got MORE scared.

So I called up Johndor at like 3am to get him to talk to me so I wouldn't be scared and BOY was he mad. :)

[Rhiannon]

And this is why Rhi avoids horror movies like the plague...

[celebdraug]

who is Johndor? Snaga?

[Dragon]

hmm, yes, I don't do scary stuffs...

[Niirewen]

Ahh, me neither. I once watched the movie Donnie Darko (any of you seen it?) and was scarred for life. I'm paranoid because of it. I'm getting freaked out right now just thinking about it..

Yeahh.. scary movies are definately not for me.

[BranMuffin]

Ahh, me neither. I once watched the movie Donnie Darko (any of you seen it?) and was scarred for life. I'm paranoid because of it. I'm getting freaked out right now just thinking about it..

Yeahh.. scary movies are definately not for me.

Isn't Donnie Darko about a guy who sees a possesed giant bunny, or something along those lines? I started cracking up when I saw the previews.

My brother and I can sit through any scary movie. They just don't affect us. the only thing that really "scares" me is when some loud noise or unexpected jump happens all of a sudden. The so called creepy things are usually funny to us. Hey, I am an outcast.

[Niirewen]

Isn't Donnie Darko about a guy who sees a possesed giant bunny, or something along those lines? I started cracking up when I saw the previews.
Yeah, sort of. It wasn't funny, it was scary. Very scary. I was severely traumatized. This is why I don't watch scary movies.

[Kailita]

My brother and I can sit through any scary movie. They just don't affect us. the only thing that really "scares" me is when some loud noise or unexpected jump happens all of a sudden. The so called creepy things are usually funny to us. Hey, I am an outcast.
I wish I had that outcast quality. I am so easily scared. Yet I'm strangely attracted to scary movies. I never see them, because I know I can't handle that...but I always ask people who have seen them to tell me the plot lines and suspense stuff, so I can know how the movie turned out without seeing it. And even then the images that I make up in my head for the movie freak me out at night. *Shakes head at self* I'm such a wimp. I only saw a couple previews for the movie Gothika, but I can't stand looking at condensation on the mirror anymore. And I'd never be able to watch Psycho, otherwise I'd never take a shower again. :rolleyes:

[The-Elf-Herself]

Aww, there's no shame in that Kai. I'm not a fan of scary things meself, doesn't seem particularly brilliant to go someplace just to be frightened. The only stuff like that I love is Hitchcock, Hitchcock is marvelous. Except for The Birds, that was by far the funniest and stupidest movie I've ever seen. As if birds would be that open about their plans for world conquest! Hah!

Outcast Thing Done: I have taken to singing Weird Al at the top of my lungs when I'm running the vacuum cleaner at work. Spooks people out, because they can only hear bits and pieces of the lyrics. Huzzah, the outcast singer lives on! :D

[Dragon]

well, today, me and another girl were walking around the halls singing L-O-V-E really loud all day long.

no, this had nothing to do w/ valentines day. I am trying to ignore valentines day. it is not working.I will try harder.

[Kailita]

Hurray for Outcast singers! :)

Ah yes...and Happy Evil Black Death Day to you all. *Smiles serenely*. I have two dates this year. Their names are Ben and Jerry. The three of us go way back. :D I believe I will be having a customary Evil Black Death Day...going to the mall, buying ice cream, candy, and Mrs. Field's cookies, and enjoying the ABCDS (Anguish, Bitterness, Cynicism, and Depression) of loneliness, while scoffing appropriately at the displays of mushy affection between twitter-hearted couples. ;) Of course, the only reason the mall is involved in any of this is because Skillet and Bleach are going to be playing there, which will greatly improve my Evil Black Death Day. :D Normally I celebrate this morbid holiday with one of my best girl friends, who usually tends to be single around this time of year - but she had to screw things up and end up with a boyfriend, so it will probably be a bit different. :o She promised to come by and share my pain (and my cookies), though. ;)

And then, the day after EBDD, is my birthday! :D

[Niirewen]

I hate Valentine's Day, of course, but this one isn't going to be so bad. I'm going to make yummy cupcakes for my family and then we're going over my grandparents' house for the day to celebrate their anniversary and my aunt and grandpa's birthdays. Later tonight I'll just be baby-sitting, which I don't mind. Mostly I'm just trying not to let this evil holiday get to me. And happy almost-birthday, Kailita!! :)

[Rhiannon]

Today is definitely the day to go out and do something Outcasty...but I'm too lazy. I'm at home, in pajamas, working on my writing project, while Mom makes the traditional eclairs and I plot for my anti-Valentine's Day Party for One on Monday (rent movies, buy on-sale chocolate....mmmm....)

Happy birthday, Kaia! *hug-squish*

[The-Elf-Herself]

Huzzah for Kai! *tosses confetti everywhere*

rant---> I killed my feet at work yesterday, and my back. EVERYTHING hurts.

unrant---> I had a very nice Vday AND I'm going to see Dr. Joe the cool chiropractor tomorrow!

[Dragon]

I'm very proud of myself.

on valentines I stayed at home on the computer all day, and completely forgot that it was valentines day

that was a nice feeling.

[Kailita]

Ah yes...hurray for completely avoiding Evil Black Death Day. :)

*Gasp* Jam changed her avatar...can it be? (Nice touch, though. ;)) How'd things go with the chiropractor?

And - *gasp* again! - I'm sixteen! :eek: It's so strange. Sixteen. That's when stuff happens; when you're a little girl and you play house, you always make the older sister sixteen, because that's when you can do stuff. Like drive. And date. But I still don't have my permit (darn the California DMV). And - ha - me...dating...what a laugh. :D I don't exactly have guys lining up at the door. So nothing really changes. But still...it's weird. Sixteen. :eek:

Umm...Outcasty stuff...well, I recycled 300-something bottles this weekend. :) And I was counting up my bottle money yesterday...and, thus far, I have made $120! Not bad for taking the trouble to recycle other people's trash. :D

[Turin]

Happy late birthday Kailita :D. I still have a year and a half until I can get my permit :mad:.

[The-Elf-Herself]

Huzzah for Kai! Happy birthday girl! Yeah, sixteen is that scary age, driver's license, first job, all that crazy stuff. Must be one of the reasons I wanted to skip straight to seventeen. ;) Ah well, I still need to test for my license, hopefully I'll be better by mid-March. Mom wants me to start carting my older brother around, she doesn't trust him driving.

Yep, Jam changed her avatar AND her signature! I was feeling bored one day, decided a change was in order.

[Kailita]

Oh my goodness, I don't know if I'll be able to handle this much change! :eek:

And I got my permit! :) I missed six...the most you can miss is eight. So now I'm driving up and down the driveway and in parking lots. What funness. My mom: "Okay, turn now. Ease on the brakes. A little more...brakes...brakes. Brakes!" :D I was born to drive.

[Niirewen]

I just have a funny/strange story I feel the need to share..

I have a cute little hamster, and usually I let him out of his cage at night to run around my room because I can hardly stand keeping him in a cage all night (hamsters being nocturnal). But the other night I woke up and heard him gnawing on something.. and found that he was in my wall. He had chewed a hole in the floor in a corner of my closet. (Hamsters are true escape artists, apparently my bedroom wasn't big enough for him.) I was very worried, thinking he might be stuck in there, so I went down to the kitchen and got some fruit to put by the hole, thinking I might lure him out with the smell of it. When I got back to my room I found he had crawled into his cage and was already asleep. I could not believe it and I'd probably think I was crazy except for the hole in my floor.

Having had three hamsters previously, I've experienced their funny cleverness many times.. but this one definately tops them all. (In case you were worrying- I haven't let him out of his cage without keeping an eye on him since this happened, for fear of losing him inside my wall- which would be devastating.)

Is that crazy or what?? :eek:

[Niirewen]

PS- Congrats on getting your permit, Kailita! ;) :)
