lol me either. . I do like it though. I recently got the soundtrack out of the library

Nice! Is it good so far?

that was me you quoted, not Libby
It is good, I love the songs where they combine the cello and classical music with the rock songs the band plays

Goodbye to all! Wish me luck, I get braces tomorrow.....

I hope it doesn't hurt too much! I had braces since I was ten and only got them off this past Christmas. Getting them on doesn't really hurt, just when they tighten them.

Yeah.

. The episode we watched last night was so sad. I was crying b/c

Oh cool! I'll have to check it out sometime!

you will, it's really good. The first time we sang it was the day after I first saw The Passion. Needless to say I was crying during the whole song...in front of the whole church. Oh well

Yeah they did not need to but it would not have been as touching if they did not.
Yes I would suggest that you read the book, as long as you don't read it with the intention of finding fault with it If you read it with an open mind you will know way better where Will (the guy who wrote the book) was coming from

lol Same with me when I was watching it!

. And it's funny b/c I'm kinda liking it against my will. When I first started watching it I didn't want to like it . I don't like modern twists in period stories, but at least there's not much in this besides Robin getting kissed every ten seconds .

I actually dreamed about the show last night . I tend to dream about what I've been reading or watching lately . It was pretty stupid...

TTFN

*enters* I leave tomorrow!

So anyways How's it going all?

Catchup.......

. The episode we watched last night was so sad. I was crying b/c

Spoiler

poor Allan when they killed his younger brother . It doesn't help that both of them have these big blue adorable eyes so they look like sad little puppy dogs . It was soooo horrible, I hate that sherrif.

Yeah that was sad also. lol (about "big blue eyes") Yeah the sheriff is pretty annoying!

you will, it's really good. The first time we sang it was the day after I first saw The Passion. Needless to say I was crying during the whole song...in front of the whole church. Oh well

That's cool that it touched you like that!

;)) . And it's funny b/c I'm kinda liking it against my will. When I first started watching it I didn't want to like it . I don't like modern twists in period stories, but at least there's not much in this besides Robin getting kissed every ten seconds .

haha! That's funny! How you are liking it against your will
Yeah that was one part of the shows that I wish they would have left out! X a million

I actually dreamed about the show last night . I tend to dream about what I've been reading or watching lately . It was pretty stupid...

lol

Mortereve all!

I watched the first two episodes of the BBC Robin Hood over the weekend. Wow, what a great show!

yep. So, what have you been up to lately?

Honestly, not much. Just the regular routine of school each day... not much more than that! What about you?

@NN: It's in Charlottesville,VA.
Ah,I see. I still do that out of an old habit though.

Oh yes, I knew that. How cool!
lol, I see.

It's "Lothlorien". Not "Lotholorien". lol

Actually, it's Lothlórien with an accent over the "o".

*chuckles at the Ruby-Winter post, as always*

Those are pretty much my thoughts. I like to listen to soundtracks and classical a lot too. But you are so true when there are a lot of artists who write "clean music" that isn't really Christian or they say they're Christians when they're really not. What do you look for in music? I try and focus on the content, such as the lyrics. But then there are some styles of music that I just cannot listen to (like rap, for instance).

Oh yes, how could I have forgotten about classical. Some of the best music ever written! And a lot by Christians, too.
I think focusing on lyrics/content is the wrong way to view music, since music itself has waaaay more effect than lyrics. Now, obviously, if there are bad lyrics, then don't listen to it... I know you initially agreed with me, but actually, I know there's a lot of music you've mentioned you listen to that we wouldn't approve of. This is mostly an application of principles from Scripture, so a lot of it is a matter of opinion from one Christian to another, but there are obviously rights and wrongs when it comes to music.

@ NN. Heh, well, you're right.

Aye, that it is! I suspect we'll get a teaser trailer possibly sometime during the summer. I would really like to see a model of the sea serpent or dragon, though they will probably keep those two secret until the film is released....

For the longest time I only knew his work from The Mission and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (<--- which I find to be on the goofy side, musically). I think you would Once Upon a Time in the West. It has that sweeping, epic sound you like.

I guess so!

Yes, most likely. Since those things probably take the longest time to make in post, there will be featured very little in the trailers. I don't know they'll necessarily be kept secret, though.

Yeah, same here. And I agree that The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is very musically goofy. I'll definitely have to check out Once Upon a Time in the West!

You all have posted a ton! Well, mortereve all!

EDIT: Just recovered this with Lazarus!

There's a reason behind it, but that doesn't excuse it to me.

No, it doesn't. What's the "reasoning" though?

You're moving into a new room? I just moved into a different room in our house! And I'm still working on getting all my stuff in there. I hope everything works out!

Yep. The room itself is nice... I just don't like leaving behind the old memories in my old room---and my new one is in a completely different spot in the house... Or at least a whole different level, so everything's a bit different. I really enjoyed it where I was--and I was right next to my two oldest brothers, so I would talk with them before we'd go to our separate rooms for bed or whatever. Now it feels like this room is kind of separated from everything... But I'll get used to it I suppose.
Do you like your new room? I have all my stuff moved in, I should just organize my desk and dresser... And clean the bathroom that's attached--because it's filthy.

It's hard to get past that point but you would understand it a lot more if you read it.

Mm. I'll still always be extremely skeptical. I mean, really.
So--what truth DOES it have in it?

Some episods are better than others in that respect.

Definitely. I didn't really like Episode 15 of season 3 either... Just--yeah. Too much like a horror movie I guess. Who would you say your favorite character is? Juliet seems pretty likable... Shawn just makes too many stupid comments sometimes. Gus has his head on fairly straight most of the time... Lassie gets more likable as you go on I think.

Even my older brother thinks Juliet is one of his favorite characters... Probably mostly since she just doesn't say all the stuff Shawn does.
Of course, the chief and Shawn's Dad are OK too... One of my little brother likes Buzz a lot.

Lark: Hey! I'm doing well, thank you!! Today my plan is mostly to organize my room, give my brother a piano lesson, practice piano and violin, then--yeah. Random stuff. And cleaning probably.
Tomorrow is "homeschool day" at our Capitol, so we're going to that...

Mm. I'll still always be extremely skeptical. I mean, really.
So--what truth DOES it have in it?

Always is a big word
What truth? In my opinion all of it is truth But of course that's still my opinion
One of the things that I love about the book is the interaction between Jesus and Mark. Jesus is this fun loving person who is.... fun! Not this super religious guy

Definitely. I didn't really like Episode 15 of season 3 either... Just--yeah. Too much like a horror movie I guess. Who would you say your favorite character is?

Are you talking to me?

*wanders in for an overdue ketchup post*

Good mortereve everyone! How is everyone today?

I'm doing good. I am currently trying to get caught up on everything before April, cause I probably won't be around much that month (not like that will be very different in here... ). I am planning on taking a break from online activities (except mod duties), and graphic making ( Maybe I could still do a little bit...), and spend my time that month writing a book! So, basically I'm going to try to do my own NaNoWriMo (which I have jokingly begun calling 'flambeauWriMo' ). I've already written parts of the book, so my goal is to finish the book that month, not just reach 50,000 words. I'm both excited and nervous... but I am determined to do it.

Soooo, enough about me! Time to ketchup!

*Waves to Flambeau* How do you like my Avvie and Sig? A friend of mine made them for me and I love them!

Heya Ben!
Oh, really? Well, how cool!

What do you think of the 3rd Robin Hood season? Do you think it is worth watching?

Did.not.like.it. It's not worth watching. I personally think they should have scrapped the whole thing and then re-written it all. Robin's behavior is a bit irritating through most of it, and by the time the season was over I was feeling like it wasn't the same Robin from the other seasons. The new characters are all annoying (or end up being annoying), and steal most of the screen time from the original cast members, which is a huge shame! The best characters in season 3 are Allan and Much, both of whom are very underused (Allan most of all)! And then the whole 'three-different-gang-members-having-a-crush-on-the-same-girl' thing was sooo dumb.......
Sooo, yeah, I didn't like it. (in case you couldn't tell )

Flam: . I'm great

Very glad to hear it!

flambeau!!! Good to see you on the square! Oscar is sooo beautiful!! Thanks for sharing the picture. How are lessons coming by the way?

Thank you! And thank you again! Lessons are coming along quite well! We're learning some new songs, so it's quite fun!

@ Flam. "That was nicely handled..." Susan, LWW.

That's good to hear. Didn't want you losing it while she was gone.

"So says the outlaw!" - The Sheriff, Robin Hood.
It was touch-and-go there for a while...

*waves to flam* Oscar is a....?

*waves back* An F style mandolin.
How are you doing these days?

*draws her sword and stands behind Allan--er, flam*

Hmmm, all we need are Robin, Much, Will, and Little John and this has the makings of a pretty good ambush! "This is how it goes..."

*has already met Oscar so skims over that part*

You most certainly have!

Oh, dear! Not that again.

What makes you think I would start calling you that again?

Ditto!
Um, you pick.

Ehhh, Reasons Why?

No.

Well there goes that excuse!

Sorry! Wrong number. *hangs up and is slightly embarrassed*

!! Ahh, that brings back memories!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

You're quite welcome! I most certainly did!

*waves back to Flam* Hiya! How's you?

Hey back! Me's good! How's you?

flambeau, Oscar is a B.E.A.U.T.Y!!! And I kind of like that angle: it's really unique. What a gorgeous mandolin!

Thank you so much! I really like him as well!

*skims...a lot*

Fun! Were you able to go over and watch the episodes? For the most part I do enjoy that show, although I've only seen Series 1 and over half of Series 2. Series 1 was definitely my favourite. Life is good for me, thank you! Spring is coming and for that I am quite happy. How is life for you now?

We were, and it was quite fun! They (our friends) enjoy the show as well. They hadn't seen it before we introduced them to it, and now they've seen the first two seasons and really like them. I agree that Series 1 is really good!
I'm glad to hear it!
Agreed! It's time for spring!
Life is going quite well, thank you! Not a whole lot going on, as usual, but still good!

"Hallelujah" is one of my favorite songs by Tenth Avenue North. It's so beautiful. Anyway, how are you?

It is quite lovely! But then, most of their songs are pretty!
I'm doing great, thank you! How about yourself?

@ Flam. I for one am looking forward to your catch-up post!

Here it is!

I think that this one will be one of my longest But I have done some REALLY short posts on here before

I agree, that is a pretty good sized post for you! Nice work!

EDIT: Oh, and flambeau, DTR and Betsie will be interested in knowing that I've just started Manalive, so I can take my proper place in the conspiracy very soon.

Hurray!! *throws confetti* Have you finished it yet? If so, did you enjoy it? If not, are you enjoying it?

I'm off to watch more Robin Hood! (I'm finding myself strangely addicted to that show )

*realizes this was not directed at her, but was excited anyway* I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the show! (might I also mention that I found your spoiler in this post rather amusing? In a good way, of course. And I agree with it as well... )

I watched the first two episodes of the BBC Robin Hood over the weekend. Wow, what a great show!

Awesome! I'm glad to heard you're liking it!

And, lastly... A huge thank you to Lark, GtG, Dani, Cor, Ben, Jo, QS, Djaq, and FF for your congratulations on reaching my 1000 post!

I believe I'm caught up now, so I am off! Have a wonderful mortereve everyone!

*departs while humming He's My Brother from the Robin Hood soundtrack* (A short, but lovely song that goes with one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite episodes. The title should give you an idea of what part it is from... )

--- flambeau

Mortereve!! So apparantly, even after changing my alarm clock, Daylight Savings Time is still getting the better of me... I woke up this morning, took one look at the darkness out side and said "Yeah, right." Next thing I knew I was sleeping again. *needs to buckle down and get used to the change*

*waves to Bother Eustace* sorry I forgot so say hi on my last post . I'm doing fine how bout you? ... I don't have to change my clock- I have an iHome and it sets itself

Hi GtG! I'm doing very well. Oh, I wish I had one of those! but it would be pointless for me, since I don't have an iPod. My sister has something like that though. At least, I think she does.... she's got something that's cubular (I know, that's not a word ) and changes color, and her iPod docks in it. I don't think it has the time or anything, just speakers.

Yep for sure!
Yes my brothers and Dad own it

Neat! My Dad owns an electrical business, me and my brother often go along and help at jobs. Mostly my brother nowadays, I've been busy this year with other things.

@ Bother Eustace. Greetings and well met! Welcome to the Square! You seem to be fitting in rather well with us.

Thanks for the welcome!! And I agree with your thoughts on the P&P adaptions - I prefer the '95 version, even if it is nearly three hours longer. However, I've never read the actual book (not yet, anyway); I think my judgement was persuaded by others around me who had read it.

Oh yes, how could I have forgotten about classical. Some of the best music ever written! And a lot by Christians, too.
I think focusing on lyrics/content is the wrong way to view music, since music itself has waaaay more effect than lyrics. Now, obviously, if there are bad lyrics, then don't listen to it... I know you initially agreed with me, but actually, I know there's a lot of music you've mentioned you listen to that we wouldn't approve of. This is mostly an application of principles from Scripture, so a lot of it is a matter of opinion from one Christian to another, but there are obviously rights and wrongs when it comes to music.

I know this wasn't directed to me, but I wanted to say something . I love Classical, especially Bach and Vivaldi. Also, I'm really interested in your views on music... it sounds like we share some common ground there. I personally believe that in the same way the lyrics need to be judged as right or wrong, the music itself needs to be considered as well if not more so. That's my personal conviction on the matter; I think this subject is, to a certain extent, one of those Romans 14 issues.

Definitely. I didn't really like Episode 15 of season 3 either... Just--yeah. Too much like a horror movie I guess. Who would you say your favorite character is? Juliet seems pretty likable... Shawn just makes too many stupid comments sometimes. Gus has his head on fairly straight most of the time... Lassie gets more likable as you go on I think. Even my older brother thinks Juliet is one of his favorite characters... Probably mostly since she just doesn't say all the stuff Shawn does.
Of course, the chief and Shawn's Dad are OK too... One of my little brother likes Buzz a lot.

Episode 15... was that the one where they went to the "Murder" camp? I didn't like that one either, if that's the one you're talking about. My favorite character... Um, I'm not sure. I enjoy how all of them interact together, I guess. But I do like Juliet. I felt bad for Lassie too! He definitely gets more likeable, but occasionally he lapses back to being unlikeable. As for Buzz, I love him! He's awesome, I only wish he was in it more often; he usually only gets small parts.
I changed my signature image, as you can see, to a picture from the show "Monk" which used to come on right before Psych on the same channel; did you ever see it? I personally always liked that show a little better than Psych; I think it was funnier, and it had less bad humor (almost none, really). Sadly it ended last season, after eight years of running.

GTG wait, did I miss something? what soundtrack? I don';t remember posting that!

I watched the first two episodes of the BBC Robin Hood over the weekend. Wow, what a great show!

Sweet! How were you able to get them?
I'm most glad you liked them!

Good mortereve everyone! How is everyone today?

I'm doing good. I am currently trying to get caught up on everything before April, cause I probably won't be around much that month (not like that will be very different in here... ).

I've already written parts of the book, so my goal is to finish the book that month, not just reach 50,000 words. I'm both excited and nervous... but I am determined to do it.

Good Mortereve! That's a good thing to do every once and a while *loves the "maybe I could still make a little"*
Cool a book! *likes the "flambeauWirMo"* I hope and I'm sure that you will accomplish it Flam!

Oh, really? Well, how cool!

Yeah

Did.not.like.it. It's not worth watching. I personally think they should have scrapped the whole thing and then re-written it all. Robin's behavior is a bit irritating through most of it, and by the time the season was over I was feeling like it wasn't the same Robin from the other seasons.

Sooo, yeah, I didn't like it. (in case you couldn't tell )

I got about the same response when I asked your sister
Why do a lot of TV Show get worse the further along they go?!
The only reason I would watch it would be to see Allan and Much. But I will probably never watch it.

*draws her sword and stands behind Allan--er, flam*

Hmmm, all we need are Robin, Much, Will, and Little John and this has the makings of a pretty good ambush! "This is how it goes..."

haha! I'll be Much As you may already know he is probably my favorite! Though its so hard to choose!

I agree, that is a pretty good sized post for you! Nice work!

lol thanks

And, lastly... A huge thank you to Lark, GtG, Dani, Cor, Ben, Jo, QS, Djaq, and FF for your congratulations on reaching my 1000 post!

Your welcome

Neat! My Dad owns an electrical business, me and my brother often go along and help at jobs. Mostly my brother nowadays, I've been busy this year with other things.

Oh cool!

Edit: *see people talking about how beautiful Oscar is, he goes and trys to find where to look at Oscar* Wow Flambeau! What a beautiful instrument!

^I was quoting GeorgieXOXOsmile, not you

Honestly, not much. Just the regular routine of school each day... not much more than that! What about you?

me either, besides that I've been watching BBC Robin Hood lately.

Yeah that was sad also. lol (about "big blue eyes") Yeah the sheriff is pretty annoying!

he is! At first I kinda liked him (one of those villains you almost can't help liking) but then he did that and now I'm just too mad at him

haha! That's funny! How you are liking it against your will
Yeah that was one part of the shows that I wish they would have left out! X a million

I know. Like in the episode last night and that "nun" was kissing him I was like "what the heck?". The only kiss that has been funny was when that girl kissed Much and he was so taken back

lol

No, it doesn't. What's the "reasoning" though?

Mack (the main character in the story) had an abusive father so God appears as a woman so Mack doesn't build a wall between them or something. Just b/c it would be easier for him to accept a woman than a man. God changes in to a man later though, after Mack gets used to him.

*realizes this was not directed at her, but was excited anyway* I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the show! (might I also mention that I found your spoiler in this post rather amusing? In a good way, of course. And I agree with it as well... )

lol yeah, it's true! Almost everyone has big blue eyes, which does not help the sadness factor! But yeah, I really enjoy the show so far (minus the kissing, I mentioned before ).

Hi GtG! I'm doing very well. Oh, I wish I had one of those! but it would be pointless for me, since I don't have an iPod. My sister has something like that though. At least, I think she does.... she's got something that's cubular (I know, that's not a word ) and changes color, and her iPod docks in it. I don't think it has the time or anything, just speakers.

Oh yeah that's an iHome, just a different kind. An iHome is basically and place the iPod can dock. There are just different versions with different extras. iHomes are pretty cool, but not as good if you don't have an iPod . Although the radio presets are nice...if you listen to the radio .

TTFN

he is! At first I kinda liked him (one of those villains you almost can't help liking) but then he did that and now I'm just too mad at him

I like him only because of the oddness, but other than that!

I know. Like in the episode last night and that "nun" was kissing him I was like "what the heck?". The only kiss that has been funny was when that girl kissed Much and he was so taken back

Oh my Word! That was the worst!

lol I love that! Much was like in a daze! lol!

I like him only because of the oddness, but other than that!

ditto.

Oh my Word! That was the worst!

Spoiler

I don't think Robin kisses anyone else after "The Tax Cometh" That's the one with the Nun Except for Marian of course

lol I love that! Much was like in a daze! lol!

Good, and yeah it was funny, my sisters and I were cracking up

*is about to go out to eat with his Family and also grandparents* My grandpa decided to take us all out to eat since I was leaving tomorrow!

Good, and yeah it was funny, my sisters and I were cracking up

lol! How many sisters do you have? Do they all like the BBC Robin Hood?

Well I'm off! See ya all later!

*walks all dejected-like in to the square humming "Shoreline" by Deas Vail*

I'm sad. Owl City was coming to Boston and I can't go b/c the tickets are all sold out. I'm very dissapointed. THis is the second time this has happened to me .

lol! How many sisters do you have? Do they all like the BBC Robin Hood?

I have 3 sisters, but only two of them watch Robin Hood with me, the other one is only 4 and usually in bed by the time we start watching it . Watch me get her hooked though .

TTFN

*walks in very full from a huge supper* Wow! I ate a lot! That was a really big supper!

I'm sad. Owl City was coming to Boston and I can't go b/c the tickets are all sold out. I'm very dissapointed. THis is the second time this has happened to me .

I'm sorry Ali

I have 3 sisters, but only two of them watch Robin Hood with me, the other one is only 4 and usually in bed by the time we start watching it . Watch me get her hooked though .

Oh cool!
lol that would be kind of funny
