Hi guys!

Oh gosh.. my mum totally tried-to-get-me-into-a-conversation-about-this half of yesterday - and then I couldn't sleep half the night. I knowww what you mean.

lol. So, do you have another name I could use for you- I know you don't like AC .

Ahh.. I was wondering what it was for. It's a while since I read the books - and I can never reread because I borrowed the first 3 from my school library and don't understand the story from book 4...

aww...you shoudl buy them!

LOL and how hyper your writing gets talking about TRS. The album's actually growing on me - I was listening to it on repeat for a good hour or two this morning, until I decided to go look up Sky Sailing. (which I think I might like much more than Owl City's sound.. less electronic ) Anyway, I really like the sound of the album as a whole, but particularly Cross My Heart, Saturday (that song would've been so good for me all last year when I was under pressure from schoolwork. lol.), That's So You, and TV Family.
Over RK? That's impressive, considering how recently you got into TRS, in comparison. Don't talk to me about play counts though.. it makes me sad , because my iPod stopped syncing my play counts to my iTunes, and now I can't check. My iPod's kinda breaking too.. and it's not even 2 years old.

. I get hyper when I talk about music I like . Oh I really have to buy it now! I'm probably going to have to wait a few months though .

I almost like Sky Sailing better than Owl City too! I like the guitar-driven sound, instead of it being so electronic, but I love OC too .

Lol I know, but it's also b/c when I first got in to RK, I listened to them on CDs or youtube, not on the iPod, so I don't have counted plays for the first few months . Aww, I'm sorry . Mine is breaking too...but I haven't told my parents yet, I'm hoping it will fix itself .

Of course!...

. Sounds like you're having alot of fun with them! I'm glad- babies are so cute!

Anything fascinating going on with you?

um, well besides having an exchange student, not much, besides that we're busy trying to entertain him .

Praying for your sister.

That's great, I hope it goes well.

It's been going great so far- he really feels like an older brother .

Yup, I do! See my response to Libby at the top of my post for where I live.

. I live an hour from Boston too- it would be cool if we could meet sometime .

Ali: aw.....oh well. Alexa likes BTT better than you anyway, right?

yeah, MUCH more .

Sorry!
I haven't been up to a whole lot lately. I don't have plans for the rest of the week either...well, maybe yard work. Yay.

don't worry about it .

haha, luckily we won't be doing yard work this weekend (we usually do ). It's the last weekend with out exchange student so we're probably going to go bowling or to the beach or something .

@ Ali. I know the feeling, on both accounts. Granted I don't have any siblings, but still the pressure is un-welcomed. I'm trusting and hoping God will let em know where I'm suppose to go with my life.

Thanks for the prayers. The AC is working a bit now, which is good, but we still need a new AC.

yep pressure's no good, but God will lead .

oh that's good! Are you still over your grandmother's then?

Ali! *hugs* I've had an eventful week...unfortunately I don't have time to say much else. How about you?

not much . Well, um, I just saw The Young Victoria tonight and it was a great movie .

TTFN

Are you enjoying your break? Great pose by both you and the dog.

I am appreciating the break, thank you. Compliments go to Miss Rachel for snapping that pic too. But thank you. The dog got a treat after that. Me? I starved till dinner.

Lucky, being in the South means humidity and heat go hand-in-hand.

Indeed. I do not miss that weather. Even living out of the desert does not appeal to me anymore unless it is to a much cooler climate. Durango, Colorado, is a possibility.

Do you plan on taking up moderating the forums again any time soon?

There are a number of matters that need to settle in my life before I get back to the job. It could be a few months.

My cousin decided to tackle me, but he got the cream all over his hand. This angered and grossed him out, and he resolved that the best solution to his problem would be to wipe it all over my face.

*Gorse looks over to Miss Rosario and states, "That is not a way for a young man to treat a young lady even though he be kin." He raises his mug of acorn tea to her and snorts loudly, "May the fleas of a camel infest his trousers for week!"*

*enters the square very sluggishly*

Eh... So yesterday I had a really weird lunch and it made me sick! And then last night I threw up! Not fun at all! I'm felling a bit better today but I still feel a bit sick. But I'll catchup non the less

Ben: hehe
well, I do bounce off the walls at home.....I'd be interested in what Ali thinks of my behavior.....

Haha! Did you see what she said?

sounds fun! I've never been camping but I think it would be cool to go sometime .

Really? you are missing out! Especially here in the mountains!

*nods vigorously* Libby is always always ALWAYS hyper . When she gets really excited she talks alot and really fast and practically jumps up and down, but I've gotten used to it .

Haha! That is pretty funny! Is she always drinking coffe or something?

you're making it WORSE!!!

Am I?

I think not!

I think so

lol ok- don't forget!

Ok I will try to do that after catching up here...

you did?! Oops I forgot . That's about a week after my younger sister's .
Oh maybe you just never got the text/email... Oh cool

fun! I love...well I don't have nephews, but I have cousins! Lol, I only have 3 cousins older than me and then all the rest are 10 and younger .

All my cousins are older than me...

sounds fun! I've never been camping but I think it would be cool to go sometime .

*waves back*! Life treating me quite well, thank you. How about you? Naw, it's not your fault we haven't talked. There just hasn't been anything to talk about.

Good! Glad it is! Oh it is treating me fairly well other than the fact that my lunch yesterday made me sick and throw up!
True

*comes bouncing into the Square waving to everyone and carrying a plate of chocolate chip cookies* There are plenty for everyone! (And, if you happen to not like chocolate, then I have some oatmeal raisin ones...)

I like oatmeal a lot better than chocolate chips but I do like Chocolate just not the cookies very much...

"Dqaj" is close enough. I, personally, find that "Djaq" is easier to spell though.
Things are going really well with me, thanks! I've been doing yard work (we're trying to fix our very sloped back yard...), getting together with some friends, playing miniature golf in the rain ( ), and just hanging out around the house (among other things).

;))

Oh nice, sounds like fun! I have not played miniature golf in forever!

It is really neat! Lots of my family members want to read it now.

Cool!

Oops! I forgot that I asked you how you were doing twice. I typed that post up on two different days and got a little mixed up.
How well can I expect you to be? I have always thought it would be neat to go to Colorado. It sounds lovely!

It is a easy thing to do Well when I wrote that you could expect me to be well, but now Look at the top of my post...

@ Ben. The Royal Family was doing very well that day, thank you. Getting ready to go on vacation, actually.

Oh cool! Where to?

*waves to stargazer as he leaves the square*

--Benjamin

Mortereve all!

NarniaNut95: wow! that's so cool! it's good to know that there are other narniawebbers besides Ali and me from New England btw, Ali and I are best friends in real life, so we see each other a lot

Yeah, it's pretty neat, isn't it? That's right, I seem to remember reading that you and Ali are real-life friends.

What? No "welcome back!!"? Yes, I know that my post was long overdue. Forgive me?

Ok, ok, welcome back! Yes, you're forgiven. But, the way you said "Forgive me?" (well, I guess it was the way I read it), reminded me of a movie quote, but I can't quite place it. Any ideas?

Sorry about that. I haven't watched it in a while. Can I get back to you on the next line? I need to watch it again and I don't have time at the moment.

No prob! Like I've said before, I'm spoiled, because I have the movie on my computer.

"Oh, you listened? I also told you confronting the sheriff wouldn't work. You didn't listen to that." BBC Robin Hood.
Yes, I have seen it twice now. I loved it! Pixar did a really good job continuing the story. Have you seen it?

"A minor detail!" (Not positive what that's from, but I know I've heard it recently.)
Yeah, that's what I've been hearing from most of the people that have seen it. No, I've haven't. We'll probably wait till it comes to DVD.

Oh, very! I've always been intrigued by 'intriguing'...

Hmm, I'm intrigued that you're intrigued by "intriguing."

True, Nick, but we have dial-up. So, our internet is insanely slow. To watch one of the World Cup games would take years to load.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that you watch it online, I was just explaining how I watch it, since we don't have TV.

It's been going great so far- he really feels like an older brother .

That's great!

Good! Glad it is! Oh it is treating me fairly well other than the fact that my lunch yesterday made me sick and throw up!
True

Ohh, what did you eat that made you throw up?

Mortereve all!

Hey ho, on this very hot and humid day.

Mmm, daughter of the King, very, very nice list of books you bought!
And ... how did those two tests go?

*waves a cheery hello to Jojo, Ruby (for some reason I first typed "Rugby" ), Aslans Country, Bella, GtG,Liberty, Cymru, PA, stargazer, and ... Gorse!!!*

Whoa, that's quite a Newsflash, O Epic lysander! I was so awestruck I could barely make it through your post. *ahem* Really, though, how great you saved a child, even in the midst of your sick-y-ness. Hope you're feeling better today.

Yes, cep, I'm sure we'll be camera-happy at the Moot. We will so miss you there!

How cool about your river jump experience, Ben! I'll have to look at those videos.

Heehee, cep, I can see what you thought the username "Leuthilalda" referred to a female. But poor Leuth. Btw, George is adorable. And he's a girl, yes? No wonder we're all mixed up.

Yes, Aiden, I quite like hockey, but not as much now as in my teen years, when I was quite a fanatic. Vive le Montréal Canadiens!!! (And especially #20, Pete Mahovlich. )

*reads with interest the Wiki article on mandolins* They're such pretty instruments. How is "Oscar" doing, anyway? Or is that flam's? (Was that even his name? Or is he a female? )

Oh, Ralph is a gerbil, Son of Horace. I must admit, Vern doesn't really like being told what to do by a gerbil with a German accent.

A gerbil? Whoa! Never expected that! Verrry interesting. You know, I can see why Vern is a tad bothered by this. Btw, I do hope the Castle's air-conditioning is fixed soon. *idly wonders if Vern had something to do with that as well* ...... wups, did I say that? *looks around innocently*

And speaking of our dear dragon, I must needs find him a treat. Let's see ... fresh river salmon?

Ruby, enjoy the road trip! Safe traveling.

Louise the First: so glad, glad, glad (oh my, I sound like Pollyanna) to hear of your wonderful experience at the Joshua Bell concert. And to think you actually met him?! Were you at a loss for words? Ah yes, I thought I recognized your account of the concert.

Ugh, so sorry you were feeling icky-sicky, Ben.

Well, good weekend to all you dear SquareOnions. I know, one day shy ...

So, do you have another name I could use for you- I know you don't like AC .

It's not that I don't like AC, it's just that the Aslan's Country/Air Conditioning thing kept popping out at me, and that was kind of annoying. You can call me Kathy, instead, it you want.

aww...you shoudl buy them!

I know.. I want to. I even saw a box set of the first 3 in a bookstore on Wednesday that was 2000 yen (about $20?) but the thing is I'd rather spend the money on books I haven't read. That's what I don't like about libraries.

. I get hyper when I talk about music I like . Oh I really have to buy it now! I'm probably going to have to wait a few months though .

I almost like Sky Sailing better than Owl City too! I like the guitar-driven sound, instead of it being so electronic, but I love OC too .

Lol I know, but it's also b/c when I first got in to RK, I listened to them on CDs or youtube, not on the iPod, so I don't have counted plays for the first few months . Aww, I'm sorry . Mine is breaking too...but I haven't told my parents yet, I'm hoping it will fix itself .

I've noticed.
A few months? Aww, too bad.

I'm actually thinking about getting the physical CD when it comes out - I've sort of had a liking for CDs lately and wishing I had more. lol. Plus, it's the kind of thing I'd want to play in a CD player. If that makes sense. I feel bad, considering that I only have erm, 4 OC songs on my iPod. But anyway.

Ahh ok then.
Haha, I'm hoping mine will fix itself too, but I probably drop it too much. The screen keeps going white, and it shows the wrong cover art for songs/the wrong song title half the time.

*waves to others upon securing that she is not mentioned in their posts*

*really wishes her brother would stop testing her failing perfect pitch on the piano right now *

Well, that's it, I guess. Enjoy your Friday.. or Thursday, or night, or whatever.

Mortereve, Square ones!

poggy: awesome! I love the VotDT trailer! I honestly don't see anything wrong with WW and The Dark Island (foggy island.....?) and I love the whole thing! I think this is going to be the best Narnia movie yet? what do you think?

Wow, glad you liked it! I don't know, this trailer made me really skeptical. I'm hoping it will be the best Narnia movie yet, and I have a feeling it will be, but still...the trailer shook my opinion a bit. Overall I'm not too pleased with it and I hope they release a better one in the next months.

If you do go see it, please post your thoughts either here or in the Spare Oom's Avatar: TLA Special Feature. I'm very curious about how people who aren't familiar with the show will react to it.

I was going to go see it with some friends who are familiar with the show, but I decided not too. I didn't want to spend the money on it, and, honestly, the reviews have scared me away. I might go see it when it hits the dollar theater, though. Have you seen it?

It is a really good show but badly put together movie (for I went to see it anyway )
Oh I see. Who were or who was your favorite character(s) in Season 3?

Ah, so you agree with the reviews?
I really liked Alan in Season 3. I kinda liked Tuck, too. And, truth be told, Guy grew on me in this one.

*nods in sympathy* Yes, I'm doing summer school, Bio I and II in twelve weeks. What are you taking?

Wow, you've got quite a plateful!
I'm doing Bio 1 and Algebra 1, and I'm going to attempt to squeeze in an extra English credit, though I'm not sure that's going to work.

Poggy!!!! Glad to see you around again!

Thanks for the warm welcome back! How have you been?

*sends a huge wave to pogginfan*

*throws it back* How've you been?

*tosses the wave back like a hot potato* I've been quite well. Hot. It seems like I've been crazy busy, but then there were also days when I didn't do much at all, so... Yourself? Seen any fun sights this summer?

Mm, hot here as well. And humid. Haha, same here, my summer is a nice little mixture of hectic and quiet days. No, I haven't seen any sights this summer. I've been swimming a lot, however, and have taken some lovely visits to the beach.

Thank-you, Poggy! I found it somewhere online and liked it quite a bit, too--Princess Bride is such a fun movie.

Hehe, it is. So many great lines and characters! "Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is trying to sell you something." That's one of my favorite quotes ever.

Poggy, sorry about summer school. That's no fun. What is fun is seeing you in here!

Aww, thanks. It's so good to be back in the Square after a long absence.

*sends a wave to Bella* So CS is learning to drive, eh? She strikes me as someone who would be a rather safe driver. I'm glad to hear you're doing so well.

So, how is your math course faring, pogginfan?

As good as math can be. My dad's teaching it to me, which I quite like, because he has an enormous amount of patience. Thanks for asking.

Haha, lys, epic story telling skills. It really made me laugh.

Well, it's time for the grand departure to bed. *drowsily departs*

*appears in the Square in the wee hours of the morning here*

And in the spirit of Town Squares gone by:
Happy Friday, everyone!
Hope your weekend gets off to a great start.

Mm, hot here as well. And humid.

Ditto here as well, making the night sky rather hazy. I can't wait for the cool, clear skies of autumn for stargazing. But right now, we're coming up to the warmest 2 weeks of the year, on average.

Wow, glad you liked it! I don't know, this trailer made me really skeptical.

I know a lot of people are concerned about a few things that were in the trailer. But I must say, I was really impressed with the appearance of the sea of lilies.

And if The Last Airbender trailers were any indications, a lot of those scenes may not make it into the final edit of the film.

Speaking of TLA,

I didn't want to spend the money on it, and, honestly, the reviews have scared me away. I might go see it when it hits the dollar theater, though. Have you seen it?

I can understand your hesitation! Especially at the prices of movies these days. It helps that there's a local cinema that offers $5 movies most weekdays and even some weeknights.

I've actually seen it twice now, and didn't mind it so much the second time as I wasn't anticipating a good adaptation of the original. The cinematography really is quite beautiful, and the bending action, on the whole, is pretty good. There are more comments, including some reviews from people who weren't familiar with the original series, over in the Spare Oom's ATLA Special Feature. (Note that movie reviews contain spoilers).

Yes, cep, I'm sure we'll be camera-happy at the Moot. We will so miss you there!

Ditto! You'll be missed (though I'm quite looking forward to meeting a lot of NarniaWebbers for the first time in real life). Too bad I haven't joined the digital age, camera-wise.

I should find my bed soon. In the meantime, here's a pleasant good morning to those who will be rising soon to begin their day!

*enters*

Hullo all! How are you all? What's the point? I always ask it and of course no one answers But I guess it's fun to ask anyway so... How are you all today?

Catchup....

Ohh, what did you eat that made you throw up?

It was chicken,grapes a little (believe it or not) cookie dough and then a ton of Iced Tea. So after I completely and I mean completely filled myself up on that I felt a little weird and then when I got home I felt a little worse then... ...

How cool about your river jump experience, Ben! I'll have to look at those videos.

It was very cool! Oh and note that it is not me screaming! It was my sister

Ugh, so sorry you were feeling icky-sicky, Ben.

Thanks! I'm felling a ton better now!

Ah, so you agree with the reviews?
I really liked Alan in Season 3. I kinda liked Tuck, too. And, truth be told, Guy grew on me in this one.

Well I think that the reviews are over rated. But I'm glad they are because they prepared me for a REALLY bad movie and when it was not as bad as all that I was not really disappointed because I was expecting REALLY bad. So I came out liking the movie better than I thought I would, but of course that does not mean that it was not a badly put together movie...
Yeah I hear that Alan and Much would be the only reason worth watching the thrid season. I can understand that because I have heard that he becomes a lot better of a person (Guy the is).

I can understand your hesitation! Especially at the prices of movies these days. It helps that there's a local cinema that offers $5 movies most weekdays and even some weeknights.

Seriously! I had to pay 12 dollars to watch it! What is the world coming to?

--Benjamin

Nice rhyme, Mel. You've mentioned toast and now I'm hungry.

That wasn't the type of toast I was thinking of, but now that you mention it, a bit of toast wouldn't go amiss...

*wonders about the steampunk novel Cymru mentions* Is it any good? Most of the ones I hear mentioned always seem a bit... eh. Leviathan is getting decent reviews...

*grins cheesily at Bella* Corn and cheese, mmmmmmm... I's good, thanks. I'm blaming you for my latest sewing project, by the way. I'll try and get pictures of it tomorrow.

*writes a new note to Jojo* Dear Jojo,
Again I take my keyboard in hand, but I find that more coherent sentences are formed by placing the console under my fingers...
1. Alas, no...
2.
3. It is, indeed. I find myself wanting to watch a couple of the movies again. Busy and productive is much better than busy and not productive.
4. Hopefully!
I find myself much more brief than I had expected...

Oooh, such delightful finds, Dot! Congratulations! I particularly like the note about the illustrations. I always like prettily illustrated books.

*commemorates the Epic One's Epicness with random Capitalization*

Hullo, Djaq. I do indeed have a copy of my book! And I see you have yours and the cover is very pretty-ful indeed! Very cheerful.

I can't remember specifically what happened in the rodeo, because one year we watched a Western horseshow because they had a performance by a group of girls who rode their horses without saddles or bridles at the halfway point, and so I can't remember if the barrel racing and team roping were from the rodeo or not... But yeah. The roping events are cool. I liked the bronc riding too.

*chuckles at the pizza comments in Cor's post* *waves back to the prince and his dragon*

The concert sounds delightful, Miss Rosario! I'm glad you went through the trouble of typing it up at least once.

I've been swimming a lot, however, and have taken some lovely visits to the beach.

Oooh, that sounds like fun! Do you have ocean beaches or lake beaches? (Or river beaches, I suppose... are there any other options?)

I always ask it and of course no one answers But I guess it's fun to ask anyway so... How are you all today?

A bit disappointed today, but part of it was my own fault, and I'm over it now, so.... I'm good, thanks! I'm glad there weren't any lasting effects from you meal. It sounds tasty, actually. Pity it wasn't so good for you. [/rambles]

comes in muttering rubbish about annoying people

but you all are not annoying! yay!

hi all! wow, there's so many posts! yikes!

*waves to everyone who waved to me*

I just had a heated disscusion on a chat room about religion and I am worn out. ugh.

Ben: yeah I saw her reaction but she speaks the truth!

I must dash!

Good mortereve, Lysander. "Epic."

Go heroic, Epic lys! *cheer*

oh and I can't forget *trumpet fanfare* The Epic One . *waves*

*giggles at lysander's "epicness"*

*gasps in awe at The Epic One's post* Very epic, indeed! (Hello, by the way! )

@ Lys. *is in ever so slight awe at the Epic Ones epic...ness* Congrats Lys! Saving a life when you feeling down yourself. Amazing....

Whoa, that's quite a Newsflash, O Epic lysander! I was so awestruck I could barely make it through your post. *ahem* Really, though, how great you saved a child, even in the midst of your sick-y-ness. Hope you're feeling better today.

*commemorates the Epic One's Epicness with random Capitalization*

Why, thank you all! (I think I want to thank all of you ... *eyes the giggling faction with disapproval*) And hullo back! I would have loved to have posted a bit of Ketchup instead of (or at least along with) my Newsflash, but I'm afraid I had to much to "ketch up" on. Anyway, missed you all, and am back now (at least temporarily).

lysander, when did you become the epic one? *chuckles* I hope you get over your cold soon.

What a question! As you may imagine, I have always been Epic by nature, but the title was not really conferred upon me until about a year or two ago, when someone (Mel? DTR? I can't remember exactly who) described the avatar I was then using ...

... as "Epic." I replied saucily with something along the lines of, "Why, of course ... I am Epic." And so a Town Square legend was born.

And thank you. I'm mostly over my cold, still slightly groggy, but other than that quite well.

Miss Rosario, that sounds like a wonderful concert! Mendelssohn is one of my favorite composers, so the musical selection alone would have made it worthwhile to me, but Bell's presence is a definite plus.

Hullo all! How are you all? What's the point? I always ask it and of course no one answers

I think people may not answer that directly, mostly because they've usually already covered the basics of "how they're doing" at the beginning of their posts. But this time, I will. I'm all right overall - happy about my save, the fact that I submitted a short story two days ago, and my morning (more on that later) - but still getting over my cold, and sad that I have to work today.

Have Cymru and PA stepped back out? Awww, looks like I missed them! It was nice to see two old faces about the Square, anyways. (Note: "old" as in "beloved former denizens" ... not "aged." ) If either of you pops back in, hello!

Now, guess where I just came from? Breakfast with ValiantArcher and peterpevensie! We did this last summer too, when Valia was down here for an internship, so it was fun to get back together over some yummy food and chat. It's getting to be almost a tradition!

Alas, I cannot claim to have had a hand in bringing the epic nickname to the surface, lys. However! I can unearth the original conversation... so we can give Aravanna credit where credit is due.

And, for posterity...

LOL! How does one go about looking epic? Please share, we'd all like to know you're secrets.

Share my secrets? Pish posh! Whether looking epic is a gift of nature or the fruit of my own cunning and resourcefulness, I'm jolly well not going to let the cat out of the bag. Why, if we were all to look epic, life would be very boring, don't you think? So in the end it's much better if I look epic and the rest of you are just plain old you.

*really wishes her brother would stop testing her failing perfect pitch on the piano right now

You have perfect pitch? Or at least mostly? That is COOL! I have relative pitch, but not perfect.

As good as math can be. My dad's teaching it to me, which I quite like, because he has an enormous amount of patience.

Sounds exactly like my father. He was the one who helped me through math and I can't thank him enough. He was a banker for 40 years, so yeah, very numbers-oriented. Unfortunately I did not inherit enough of his talent.

Ditto here as well, making the night sky rather hazy. I can't wait for the cool, clear skies of autumn for stargazing. But right now, we're coming up to the warmest 2 weeks of the year, on average.

Ditto and double-ditto. How many days until we could possibly have snow? 50-something? Likewise, we are coming up to our two warmest weeks of the year. But these past two have been excruciatingly hot and humid, so I'm hoping the weather got mixed up and put them at the first of July, instead of the end so that it begins reaching down to more agreeable temperatures somewhat soon.

*will answer Ben's question for once* I'm okay, thanks, Ben: warm and staying quite quiet (which is the only way I survive this weather). Looking forward to a Mod Moot this upcoming week (July 20-27). Some will be there whom I have not yet met; others who I have. A joyous and memorable time, I'm sure.

I just watched your jumping videos. What FUN! Thanks for the heads up about the screaming.

And now I'm listening/watching the one of you playing the keyboard. Very lovely. You're an excellent pianist. That's all by ear? And on-the-moment? Wow!

Btw, not to diminish Jojo's caring in the least, but that was me who asked about your icky-sicky. I know: Jojo and Jo are verrry similar. Glad you're feeling better!

*reads Mel's post with interest, as always* Oooh, Mel, you found the origin conversations to Lys as Mr. Epic. Wonderful! *begins reading through the pages* What a hoot!!!

overly modest[/s] Epic One":39qh6khb]Share my secrets? Pish posh! Whether looking epic is a gift of nature or the fruit of my own cunning and resourcefulness, I'm jolly well not going to let the cat out of the bag. Why, if we were all to look epic, life would be very boring, don't you think? So in the end it's much better if I look epic and the rest of you are just plain old you.

Wow, what a statement. *tries to think of a brilliant (and *sigh* plain-old-me) response ... but can't* I guess you would say that's because I'm just not Epic. I'm surprised you yet deign to speak with us lowly souls. (Drat, the strikethrough doesn't work in the quote bit.)

Ah yes, lys, it was Ara's comment about your Ciarán Hinds avvy that began all this Epic-stuff. I wonder if she knows it's still going on. Must tell her.

Niiiiiiice about your breakfast with Valia and pp again. I was hoping that would happen this year. Should I be expecting a note in the mail? (J/K) Glad you could do this.

Well, heading off to see Inception soon, methinks. Then hopefully The Last Airbender tomorrow. Yep, it's movie weekend here!

EDIT: After a morning of a brilliantly blue, sunny sky (and far too hot and humid), dark clouds have moved in and the thunder and rain are starting! Hurrah! *loves adventurous weather*

Hi hi!

I'm very happy today . And have been the past few days. God's really been working in my life- making me more content and just doing good things to me. Usually (you might not be able to tell online but) I'm very depressed and sad. But recently, God made me realize that I had him and I needed nothing else and that I should rely on him for my love and happiness. So I was feeling really good but I was still upset that Iñigo is leaving soon. And then one of my friends, without me telling him or asking him anything, said that he wanted to be like an older brother to me, and just help mentor me. So Iñigo might be leaving, but God gave me another older brother to take his place, and he's a more suitable brother too .

Really? you are missing out! Especially here in the mountains!

lol I know, don't remind me .

Haha! That is pretty funny! Is she always drinking coffe or something?

nope! Coffee makes her sick .

Am I?

you know you are!

I think so

well I don't and I'm the on that counts!

Ok I will try to do that after catching up here...

you remembered! He's so adorable!

Oh maybe you just never got the text/email... Oh cool

probably

All my cousins are older than me...

lucky!

oh great, more . .

That's great!

yep . So the other night, my sisters and I finally watched the first episode of Robin Hood (season 2)! It was pretty sweet- I hope we get to watch more soon .

It's not that I don't like AC, it's just that the Aslan's Country/Air Conditioning thing kept popping out at me, and that was kind of annoying. You can call me Kathy, instead, it you want.

lol ok .

I know.. I want to. I even saw a box set of the first 3 in a bookstore on Wednesday that was 2000 yen (about $20?) but the thing is I'd rather spend the money on books I haven't read. That's what I don't like about libraries.

lol I only buy books I haven't read . I use libraries for books I have .

I've noticed.
A few months? Aww, too bad.

I'm actually thinking about getting the physical CD when it comes out - I've sort of had a liking for CDs lately and wishing I had more. lol. Plus, it's the kind of thing I'd want to play in a CD player. If that makes sense. I feel bad, considering that I only have erm, 4 OC songs on my iPod. But anyway.

Ahh ok then.
Haha, I'm hoping mine will fix itself too, but I probably drop it too much. The screen keeps going white, and it shows the wrong cover art for songs/the wrong song title half the time.

yeah, just b/c I don't have any money, that my parents will let me spend, anyway.

4 songs! Shame shame!

lol I drop mine alot too . My screen just freezes or sometimes it will only play the first few seconds of the song and then go back to the beginning .

The Epic One: I miss that avatar . So I asked a question in the Books thread and no one has answered yet so I suppose I can ask you on here . What McKillip should I read next? I really want to read more of her books .

*waves to Jo*
