Hello My Dear Squarsies!

Oh, how nice it is to be here. *stretches and breathes the sweet sweet air* The weather here--two doors down from Bag End--is delightful! So warm and lovely, and the tulips everywhere are breathtaking. We recently went to a place where they had dark purple tulips, they were so beautiful.

Well, I have the pleasure of saying that I have read a little bit of CoK. Just a smidge though, as we were reading it at a bookstore. *sigh* Much patience is needed when it's being ordered at places.

Anywho, to catchup:

CSLN, long time since we connected here. Great to see you! And what fun about you being assistant director. I bet that's a learning and growing experience. When are the show dates?

Hey there Jo! And a pleasure to see you too. Ah, thank-you kindly, yes it is quite an experience; I'm enjoying it immensely. The show actually happens to be next week! So exciting. How've you been?

@ Ella. Hehe, yeah, LL made that nickname official shortly after you left chat....
Good! I'm doing quite well, thank you. I enjoyed my three day weekend, but now school starts again. Besides that, I'm doing splendidly.

Lol, well it's quite catchy.
Ah, long weekends! They're the best aren't they?
That's good to hear.

*waves to NN*

CSLweisNarnia: I fare well. Hehe,I'm so excited about summer.

Ooh, same here! The warmth, the activites, the summer break. Very exciting.

That's great! What are some of the things that you do?
I'm doing great! I'm planning a few sewing projects to get started on soon so I'm excited about that and other than that...not much is going on.

Well, I take down the information of who's in what play, what props are needed, extra notes the director has, being on-book, and things like that.
Oh, how fun! What are you planning to sew?

*waves to her very own sister* How are you, CSLN, dearest?

*waves to her very own sibling* I am well! Lol, for a secong I thought you called me a "dessert".

*waves to Jojo dear*

"The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings." That has always made me laugh.

The time has come for me to end, good-bye all my dear friends!

Talking of sealing wax with shoes and ships and kings of cabbages,
~CSLN

Moretereve!

You did fine at explaining, my brain just wasn't ready to take it in.
I get it now, thanks.

And I just have to laugh at your list of TRS songs, because (I think) you listed every single song on Of Men & Angels.

lol ok

bwahaha. All except two- This is a Refuge and Let You Go (I love both tunes but the lyrics don't click with me I guess, otherwise they'd be on there too ). I might be adding more songs to that list though, I just got Hello, Good Friend and soon I'll be getting Do You Feel .

Yeah, true; I do, too.

I think so... Though we'd certainly be willing to jump back to creation and evolution.

Ok whatever you'd like. Or we can talk about something that'd be more controversial .

Ali, blisters are no fun!! Sounds like you've been busy! I hope your feet feel better soon.

Yeah me too . I have been busy, but mostly with school. However if I do get a part in this musical I'm sure I'll be very busy. I don't really have time to do it as it is but I auditioned b/c my sister was and I already missed out on another musical she did . What have you been doing lately?

TTFN

Hi, all. I'm back to school tomorrow.. and I managed to properly exhaust myself on the last day of break. Never again will I leave the house during this week of the year - the whole of Japan is out. And I probably won't be able to walk tomorrow.

Still, less than two months 'till summer.

Narnia Girl,Oh yeah, Riley! You have no idea how many memories that brings back. My friends and I were (a little) obsessed with him after we watched the movie.
Yeah, I actually saw NT 2 first, and then watched the first one thinking that it was the second one and ended up utterly confused. It's a long story.

Oh, and good luck w/ the braces, by the way.

Hey Ruby (can I call you that?), yeah, I agree. And I tend to apply a lot of the songs I listen to to Narnia. Ooh, lucky, you don't have to buy it then. Not that I mind it for this particular album.. but still.

I love the smilies on Narnia Web!! I've never seen cuter smilies. <-- This one is a little creepy, but it's still funny.

Me too. I just wish there was something else to describe my over-happiness, something a little more than this -> , you know? *sigh*

Glenstorm, ahh, I missed two? See what I mean about my brain not working?
Oh yes, I applaud you. <- lol, that sounded kinda weird. Whatever.
I'd all but forgotten about the existence of Calendar Days until now. Must get to it some time.

Mortereve, all! This'll be a very rushed catch-up post, so sorry in advance if I miss anything!

I'm doing pretty well, thanks, Winter. A bunch of tests and due-dates are coming up in the next two/three weeks, so I'm a wee bit stressed out at the moment... but I'll feel better once the weekend rolls 'round. What about you?

lol I love it. I don't even like dogs, but blue puppy dog eyes make me melt, especially on humans .

Haha. I happen to like both, but.... puppy dog eyes get me every time.

It's no problem, I just need to pick one, right?
Hmm.. I really need to go look up somewhere, what exactly, if any, meaning, the phrase "SquareOnions" carries. I keep seeing it

Yup! (Unless, of course, you want to confuse things more than they already are...)

Oh, sorry about that. "SquareOnions" is a name for anyone who visits (or used to visit) the Town Square. So yup... you're one yourself now!

Ahh, I see, Nick. That makes sense. And besides, it's still great practice whether you enjoy it or not. (I would think.)

Anyway, we all have to learn to do things we don't enjoy.

True, true. An important lesson to learn.

Narnia Girl: Well, I guess we can just hope for the best.
Ehh... not much of anything exciting has been going on around here. School, homework, tests... all of the norm. I'm doing pretty well, though a bit stressed over school. Not like that's unusual, though. What about you?

Ohh, and I LOVE your avatar!! Riley, Riley, Riley... that guy's downright awesome.

(Oh, btw... did you ever watch National Treasure II?)

I know what you mean, Ruby. By the time Monday morning rolls around, I'm already looking forward to Friday. Only two more days.... only two more days..... Yeah. I just have four tests and a project to finish in the meantime.

BUT. I'm surviving.

Oof, a formal debate? And you and your sister are on opposing sides? Wow. I wish you luck! I don't do well in stuff like that.

SO ADORABLE! I need to learn how to make that face to my parents...

I know, right? It never works for me.

Thank you for the prayers, Queen Susan!

*waves to Ella and anyone else not mentioned* Hello, hello!

Annnnd..... that concludes my catch-up post! I hope you all have a fantastic rest of your week. Tchau!

*waves to everyone*

Hey! Today is--Thursday. Piano lessons. Hooray.

This Saturday we have a sewing class at our house--should be fun.

What are you all doing for Mother's Day?
Wish it was on a Monday.

Mortereve!

Glenstorm, ahh, I missed two? See what I mean about my brain not working?
Oh yes, I applaud you. <- lol, that sounded kinda weird. Whatever.
I'd all but forgotten about the existence of Calendar Days until now. Must get to it some time.

bwahaha . *repeat* . I want to get Calendar Days too...can't find it where I usually get CDs though...maybe it's on Amazon. I can't get it anytime soon though. Too much money spent! Aaahh! yeah I'm a little hyper today...idk why. Probably still side effects from the concert .

Haha. I happen to like both, but.... puppy dog eyes get me every time.

*waves to Queen Susan*

*Runs into the Square VERY EXCITED TO BE POSTING IN IT AGAIN!* It has been FAR too long! I have been missing you all so much! Anyway!

Good Mortereve all!!!!!! *adds some more !'s* I hope everything is going well in the square! Especially since I have been gone! Ali have you been keeping things in order?

Well well time for some a lot of catch up! ? Here it goes!

Page 148:

Gotcha, that makes sense. So, you're really into painting, huh?

Now it turns out that I will not be flying back up to Oregon but my Family is going to drive down here... It's all a bit confusing right now...
Yeah, I have been doing about 5 days a week sometimes 6 in really hot weather! It's hard sometimes but good..

How've you been doing of late? How much of Robin Hood have you seen?

I have been doing good thanks, and yourself? I actually have not been watching much of those, I have been so busy! How about you? You done with the first season?

yay you're back!

I actually haven't started season 2 yet . But I'm done with season !! Hopefully I'll get to start it soon

Oh I see, how did you like the first season? Have you started the second now? (since it has been a while since you wrote that)

Page 149:

Great to see you again, Ben!!

Great to See you again too Djaq!

*reads about Team Hoodie* I've been wanting a long time to become a member. Such a cool name. *puts it in her sig* Lovely, lovely. Oh, I don't have to be inducted or something, do I?

Welcome to Team Hoodie Princess!

Glad you're having such a good time in Florida, Ben! (Forgive me if this is a little behind in news, though. ) Oh, I bet Florida rains would be lovely! How've you been doing lately?

Thanks! Oh We just had one about a week ago and it was sooooooo fun! It was POURING!

Page 152:

Hi Benjamin! Wow, you have a lovely, big family with eleven siblings. Where do you come in the line?

I am number 9, 2 sisters and 6 brothers above and 1 sister and 2 brothers below me.

Page 154:

Ah, cool. And, have you noticed that the Square is picking up even without Ben? I wonder why...

I know! It's weird...I think more people have been coming on...different people

Are you talking about me?

*waves back to Winter*

Page 155:

I know! It's weird...I think more people have been coming on...different people

Yeah, a lot of new people lately, and some oldies as well. Ben can just keep painting.

lol! I think i just scare them off so when I finally left for a while then they all come rushing in

Page 156:

LIL JOE! How's it going?

Page 158:

Well I suppose he could, but it's nice to have him around- I miss his cheery, Much-like self .

*enjoys the conversation that Micah and Ali are haveing*

WOW! That took long enough! I hope I did not miss anyone! Do forgive me if I did

Well I'm off for now! Hope to see you all soon!
*hops out of the square listening to Delirious?*

Mortereve, all!

I don't have the energy to catch up in here, but I just wanted to pop in and say hi! I had my last final this morning! (Hurrah! ) So, hopefully, I'll be around a bit more.

I'll be around for tonight, if anyone wanders in.

*waves and hugs all her dear Square Onions!*

*Runs into the Square VERY EXCITED TO BE POSTING IN IT AGAIN!* It has been FAR too long! I have been missing you all so much! Anyway!

again, Yay you're back!

Good Mortereve all!!!!!! *adds some more !'s* I hope everything is going well in the square! Especially since I have been gone! Ali have you been keeping things in order?

hmm, what would you mean by that exactly?

Oh I see, how did you like the first season? Have you started the second now? (since it has been a while since you wrote that)

Well when I first saw it I absolutely loved the show...idk what I think about it now. I have some friends that love it and some who stopped watching it after the first season. They said it's very sympathetic with the Muslims and that they make light of God. Now I'm trying to decide if I'm going to watch season 2 b/c of that. I think I will though .

Are you talking about me?

we most certainly were!

lol! I think i just scare them off so when I finally left for a while then they all come rushing in

yeah and now they left again

*enjoys the conversation that Micah and Ali are haveing*

bwahaha

Well I'm off for now! Hope to see you all soon!

yes you'd better not dissapear again!

*Just remembers something* So I just ordered the "Erak's Ransom" in the "Ranger's Apprentice Series"! To all you Oakleaf bearers

again, Yay you're back!

Yay indeed!

hmm, what would you mean by that exactly?

Just wondering if you kept everyone in line while I was gone (you know taking my place for a while)
