*enters square with too much logic in her head!*
Hello everyone! Popping back into the square after a day of school to say hi to a few people.
Oh don't worry. Even if you called me a name I hated I wouldn't be upset with. Alright!
Ok, Aiden! You are officially way too nice!!! Someone should do something about it!
Thanks! I,m been doing Great!!! and you?
Hey, Benjamin! I'm doing pretty well. School's kind of crazy, but ya know...
Well, that'll be all for today! I'm off to a write some nonsens and read a speech written by some radical feminist and write an analysis on it. (Should be interesting)
See you all later!!
God bless!

Hello Everyone!
*sigh* School has become such a normal part of life at the moment, that it feels like as if we've been doing school for over a month! Any how, it has started to grow dark when it used to be light. Soon, it will be dark in the afternoons. But, I always love that "Terracotta" feeling. Some of you might know what it is, but its that nice warm feeling you get when its dark, but your nice and toasty infront of a warm heater with a lovely soft throw on you, and a wonderful book about adventures, and not to forget the cup of hot tea! *melts* But, thats a Winter thing. Yes, I'm a pretty optimistic person I like having a ton of stuff to look forward to for all seasons so you don't get that "sad" feeling.
Anyhow, its catchup time!
Ella: Those LotR characters/examples are C-U-T-E! Are you making all of them, or just some of them?
Aren't they? I nearly squealed when I saw them!
Hm.. I might make all But so far, I love the hobbits and the Legolas one so much right now, that I think for the present I'll make a hobbit, then Legolas.
Aww, hehe! Your sister sounds like she has a sense of humour, eh?
Hehe, she can get funny Today, she was feeling "punny" and said a real lame pun.
So my dad got those tubs of icecream, and we were obviously "Wowed" by it. When we reached home, Aitb said, "Hey, you can knock someone out cold with that icecream. Get it? Knock out cold? *nudge nudge*" For a split second we looked at each other then burst out laughing. Yeah.. she's the best sister in the world for me
Oh dear! That's no fun! Maybe if you can't get a copy elsewhere, you could try reading it online? Sites like Project Gutenburg would probably have the text... Joes was a loyal and faithful person, wasn't he?
Actually, a funny thing, we were able to renew it. Maybe the site was down for a little. But what a relief. Yes, I found Joe a pretty nice character, so agreeable
Nothing much is going on except for the fact that tomorrow evening I am going to "play practice" for a drama I'm in.
Ah, how interesting. What is the drama?
Since you were three? Wow, CS! That's super cool. I've only been playing since I was seven
Why thankyou Ah, that’s very cool! Yes, isn’t it a wonderful hobby?
At the moment my sister and I are “teachers” to some friends of ours (although, my teacher says he actually wants to start us on a little teacher thing) So, it should all go well.
CS- Sounds like a great afternoon with your mom. I love long walks and talks with my family.
A-Hee, aren’t they the best?
Your avvie looks so beautiful! I’ve always noticed it, and thought it was very pretty.
Ok, ok. Glad to hear it. All goes well here, too.
Yeah yeah, “roll the eyes”.
* at Aiden and Bella’s posts about Spanish.*
And the same goes for your sister. Yes, it is a reasonable threat, but I would not want you to think the mods mean, terrible tyrants either.
Lol! No, no, we do not think that you are “terrible tyrants”
How are you Cep?
@ CSLN. Thank you! Right now, I prefer film scores (the orchestral music in a movie. aka movie soundtracks). I also really like Oldies and Classic Rock. (music from the 60's- the early 80's) There's also some Classical music that I like. Doesn’t sound like a very varied selection, but there is a lot of different styles just in those three groups.
Ah, I see. Lol, it’s a great group of Music Well, I understand about differences. Its kinda frustrating when some groups of music are looked at as the same, but really, they are different in themselves.
I usually hear Soundtracks, David Crowder, Jars of Clay, tobyMac, Newsboys, and Francesca Battistelli. We do like the feel of some of the 60’s through 80’s songs.
Yeah, Geometry is starting to get harder, unfortunately. I think it's the fact that it's near the end of the book... Thanks! I'll try.
Aww, sorry ‘bout that. Ah, the lovely feeling of nearing the end of a hard subjects. *sigh* I’ve just begun to wade in the depths of Geometry…
Which Science are you doing?
At the moment, I’m doing Physical science, which is requiring me to remember a lot from Math too .
"Major in" as in college? I'm not sure at this point.
Lol! Yes… I understand. We’re praying about it, here, too.
Well, now, I shall be around. Good Moretereve everyone!

Every time I think of a quote or witty comment to put here, the quote is not so spectacular and the comment is not so witty.
To answer your question, CSLN about the drama, here's a paragraph I wrote on the last page. I figured it'd be easiest to copy and paste. 😀
It's for the "Providential History Festival" which is put on once a year. This is the... 3rd year (?) I believe that it's happened, though the 2nd year it was both in the spring and the fall. Anyway, it's a drama about Esther. 😀 Though it doesn't go through it all step by step, but there is an "interviewer" (...me) who asks the people (Haman, Zeresh, Vashti, and Mordecai) their views on what happened, and slowly... *dramatic pause* Everything unfolds!!
Um, yeah. Anyway, I'm really excited for it, and it seems to be going fairly well. We'll see though. Obviously we're all trying hard not to have it be... "corny." It's embarrassing for both the people in the play and the people watching it if it's badly done. So.
Here's a few of last year's entries, videoed. (Obviously, don't feel obligated to watch.) http://www.vimeo.com/provhistory
Anyway. Tonight I'm "babysitting" my two youngest brothers. Ages 8 and 4. They don't need much attention.

Hello all! *Waves*
I had a whole big long post typed out, and but it died when I tried to post it. I'm too tired and frustrated to retype it, so I thought I'd just stop by and say hi!
This isn't very substanceful, but I don't want to loose alot if this dies, too.
See y'all!

Okay, I'll do my full catch up later, but I just wanted to pop in and say hi really quick!
OH, and it's SO great to see you, Ben!! I haven't seen you forever!
Aaaand, you too Jojo, my dear sister!!
EP, if you have the time, I am dying to hear about the concert. Not like you didn't already know that.
All righty, g'night all, and I will catch up tomorrow. Bye!
*Comes into the Square waving in all directions*
Hello, poggy!! It's really good to see you again! Your concert sounds like a lot of fun!!! Oh, and I'm sorry you broke your guitar!
Dennie! It's always so lovely to see you in the Square. I'm so happy that your job is going well!
Yes, the concert was totally fun. Thanks, though I'm not sure I deserve so much compassion. A lot of it had to do with carelessness, I'm afraid. But I did get a new one, and I like it better than my old one, actually.
Hey! I recognize you! Yes, I do make a relatively regular habit of haunting the deep, musty corridors of both TLC and FF.net...
I hope you don't mind me calling you Moony?
That you do. And I must say one of your fics (How to kill a Mary Sue, I believe) had laughing realllly hard. I almost fell out of my chair!
I've been doing really good! Not a whole lot going on in my area, but that's not bad.
I'm glad to hear that! Yep, not too much going on in my part of the world, either. But I like it.
poggin!!! So good to see you on the square! hugs How have you been doing??
Hiya! I had no idea Moony was your sister! I've been great, thanks! How're you? Haha, yep, I let my brother get the big bugs.
And I thought I had it bad when I was tightening my violin bow and it snapped... or when I was tuning the violin, and the bridge went flying across the room... I hope your new guitar is nice.
Well it sounds like you've had your share of breaking instruments. But that's really neat you play the violin! How long have you been playing? My brother just bought a violin...he's rather ambitious. Do you fiddle or do you do classical?
Thank you, my new guitar is very lovely.
Well that's very neat you take such pleasure in both, KK.
Hey, Ben! It's great to see ya again!
Thanks, NG, I did get my new guitar. It's very nice. Haha, so you break stuff, too? I'm usually clumsy in the morning. I hope you get through half of the dictionary...it sounds tough. I tried reading it once and stopped on page 20 or something. So I greatly admire you.
And yes, homeschooling is amazing.
A hearty ditto to that! I totally love homeschooling. And I do get to do it in my PJ's, though I usually don't.
Bella! And Ella! That was far too long of an absence from both of you. It's wonderful to see you two. And I'm very glad you got your computer in tip-top shape, Bella!
Jojo!! You're finally back! You've been missed. I like your new avvie very much.
That teapot story was so funny, Winter. Thanks for a laugh!
*thinks about the old Forum... weeps*
*sniffles* Don't remind me! I'm getting used to it so slowly. But surely. Which is good.
I'm sorry you lost your post, Winter. That happened to me yesterday, so I put off this post until today.
And that finishes my catchup. *waves to all she didn't include*
*sighs* They're never as long as I think they are. I admire all of you who have those massive posts.
I did get my new guitar, as I said up there a few times. And I love it more than my old one! It has a really nice feel to it, and the sound is great.
Today was Gramp's birthday, so we went out to dinner with him which was lots of fun. Other than that, nothing worth noting has happened these past few days.
I shall be lurking. *Curtsies and exits for the mean time*
Edit: The Square's slow tonight!
Well...I thought I'd post a picture of my new guitar, if everyone doesn't mind. I'm quite proud of it, probably because I bought it with my own money. It makes it more special for some reason. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=238dg3&s=3 Mm, not the best picture, I'm afraid.
Mortereve all!
Looks like this is going to be a pretty short post. Not much to ketchup on.
Thank you, Ruby! What have you been doing lately?
Ha, yeah the old forum seems so strange now, NN95. I was on it yesterday, and I saw all the avatars on the left side, and I was like, "What?! Man, the avatars look so weird on the left side!"
Thanks, NN95.
Yes, playing the piano is wonderful, CS! I love playing Christmas hymns or songs near Christmastime - that's always fun.
Oh, that's neat! I would love to teach my friends how to play the piano.
Oh, I'm sorry, Winter! I hate losing posts!
That's good that you got your guitar, poggy! Yes, I do break lots of stuff sometimes. Why thank you! Well, I'm only on page 9 so far. It takes such a long time to read a single page of the dictionary, doesn't it?
Anyway, now that ketchup is done and out of the way, how is everyone on this lovely mortereve? It's a bit cloudy here - looks like it might rain today.
All right, I have a confession to make. Here goes. *takes a deep breath* I started listening to Christmas music yesterday.
Okay, so it's not that much of a confession! But it's true. I took out one of our Christmas CDs and started listening to Christmas music yesterday morning. I love Christmas music, and I always start listening to it early. (Super super early. .) Christmas music is one of my favorite things about Christmas.
Other than that, I've been playing the piano, doing schoolwork, reading...all that normal stuff. Anyway, mortereve all!

NG- I LOVE Christmas music too. I usually start early and sometimes even sneak it in all through the year. I have all kinds of wonderful Christmas CDs. Some of my favorites are: Steven Curtis Chapman, Handels Messiah and Trans Siberian Orchestra.
Pebbles- I thought you were getting more accustomed to the new forum. Are you still weeping?
Winter- How terribly frustrating! I lost a post just two days ago and had to rewrite the whole thing. Hope things are better now.
CSLN- Thank you, Pebbles helped me pick that out and I love it.

Yay! Jojo is back!
Anyway, it's a drama about Esther. 😀
Ah! I seem to remember you talking about the festival earlier. It sounds quite interesting. Is it always a drama about Esther, or do you do other stories as well? *has made a note to watch some of the videos today*
My brother just bought a violin...he's rather ambitious.
When my brother was... three? Four?... Well, he was little and I'd just started taking violin lessons, he'd get up really early, sneak downstairs and hide behind a chair with my violin and try to play it. We got him a tiny violin and he started lessons. All of a sudden, he wasn't nearly so interested in practicing. I've been playing, off and on, for about six years. I did lessons from the Suzuki books, so that'd be classical. And every year my teacher would put on a fiddle fest, so I also did some fiddle music. Now, I usually play hymns for church. Except my bridge is warped, and I need a new one, so I haven't been playing lately.
Your new guitar looks very nice. And is that a TT poster I see in the background?
I have a confession to make. Here goes. *takes a deep breath* I started listening to Christmas music yesterday.
Don't feel bad. I did too. I got Enya's Christmas/winter CD from the library because I realised I hadn't listened to it yet and I've been listening to it off and on ever since. Her rendition of 'O Come O Come Immanuel' is AMAZING. I wish they'd overplay it on the radio with Josh Groban's 'O Holy Night' this year... that'd be soooo much nicer than listening to 'Santa Baby'--which makes my head hurt.
*curtsies to SPELC* It's nice to meet you! And, if I may ask, what does your name mean?

Last night's rehearsal (for Alice in Wonderland) went quite swimmingly We were done in an hour Though our director warned us that is would be the last early night....We'll be running acts from now on, then onto tech week!
WE also learned that typing now longer counts as a High School tech class....so we picked up a "Begginer's Guide to GIMP" so now my hobby becomes a high-school credit
Oh, and really happy news......
I'M OVER MY MILK ALLERGY!!!!!!!! I keep realizing all the things I can now enjoy...like omelettes, nachos, pizza, better tasting tacos Though drinking milk still makes me gag, as its been 6 years since I've actually had any.
Why thank you! I may choose not to though... Who knows.
Oh, but it is quite fun, being so strange! You can wear zippers on your ear, have a banana for a phone, and speak Keanese. It's a language my friend came up with.
A hearty ditto to that! I totally love homeschooling. And I do get to do it in my PJ's, though I usually don't.
I tried it...its just too hard to concentrate. I end up rolled up in my bed, sleeping, when I was supposed to be working.
I'm almost done with Spanish for the day. Just one last test about measurements and stuff used for measuring and its the weekend!!! WOOHOOO!

"The Adventure of the Speckled Band" is a good one- I remember first reading the children's abridged version years ago, so when I got to the real thing, I knew all about it.
Pebbles! Aww- is the computer acting up? No fun. I hope the cause for your frustration is gone soon. I'm pretty good, thanks!

We'd like to pick it up, but... We think maybe why we stopped was because we're not used to filming a movie with an actual script. Most of the time we just have a basic outline, telling us what to do in a few sentences, and then we fill in the blanks. We love all the freedom, so I guess we're not used to the script/having more set plans/ideas. *sigh* Anyways!

Glad to hear vacation is going well, Ben.
Ooooooh. I get it now. 😉 Obviously I'm not too well-associated with the going-ons and such of Mac.
(But neither am I well-associated with PC/Windows stuff.)
No worries, I wouldn't have known, but I heard it on the radio. Not being a Mac fan, I'm not too well-associated with their going-ons either.
(Ah, but you are a PC fan, I hope?)
Ok, Aiden! You are officially way too nice!!! Someone should do something about it!
Aw, everyone in the Square is nice, it's not just me!
Yeah yeah, “roll the eyes”.
* at Aiden and Bella’s posts about Spanish.*
What are you rolling your eyes at? *doesn't remember what we were talking about*
What about you? Are you taking Spanish, too?
WinterStar, aww that stinks you lost your post! That's been happening a lot lately, huh? *would put in a plug for Lazarus, but WS already knows about it*
Ha, yeah the old forum seems so strange now, NN95. I was on it yesterday, and I saw all the avatars on the left side, and I was like, "What?! Man, the avatars look so weird on the left side!"
Yeah, I know. It's amazing how quickly I got used the new forum. *feels bad for those that are taking longer to get accustomed to it*
All right, I have a confession to make. Here goes. *takes a deep breath* I started listening to Christmas music yesterday.
That's not a confession! I was listening to music back the the 4th of July!

BTW, do you have a nickname?
"The Adventure of the Speckled Band" is a good one- I remember first reading the children's abridged version years ago
I remember reading the abridged version of that a while back, too. I think it was for school. I should get the full thing.
Aiden: No worries if you've already asked it! We haven't done anything more on it in a month or two, we want to, but with school resuming and us working and everything, we haven't had time.

Well, I think I did, but anyway... Yeah, school and work slow everything down. Oh, I see. I wouldn't really know the difference, but I suppose I can see how one would be easier. Anyway, I hope you'll be able to finish it at some point.

Hello, my good friends! I hope you're doing excellently. Yesterday was my first full day of work, and it went the best yet. I didn't do too many stupid things. Anyway, the more I work, the more I am convinced I'm going to love this job.
He he, I love your username...
Well, that's good.
Wow, Djaq, I had no idea you liked to laugh and smile! Fancy that!
No, you just accidentally typed my name "Dennis." Good thing, too!
No, I don't think I'd heard Soft Goodbye. I'll have to sometime, since I liked the lyrics!
I'm listening to Nickel Creek right now. I like them a lot!
I've really been wanting voice lessons recently, especially since all my siblings seem to be getting annoyed with my croaking--er--singing. Just ask JMoon.
Heh heh.
Fanny, I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts concerning R rated movies. What you said in your post caught my interest. I'll try to send you a PM sometime . . . but if it doesn't come soon, feel free to send me one.
And yes, I'm pretty happy about my work schedulde-I wouldn't mind maybe working one more day-but this is probably better anyway. The next day I work is Tuesday, and I think there's going to be a paycheck in my little slot. I hope so! It's so exciting!
Heh heh, Bella. A translator, eh? No wonder I didn't understand some of those words. Usually when someone is just starting spanish, I can understand everything they say.

Please don't wrack too hard! I don't want my friend to get hurt!
And that's fine about having to leave. I understand. I had a nice time talking with Djaq anyway.
Alright, *writes long list in her head*, whenever you're ready for those book suggestions.

For awhile, I stared blankly at this, and wondered what in the world you were saying. I thought it had something to do with DITTO. But then I studied it a bit more, and realized that it was my "name."

Hello, Meadow!! I've been quite well. You? I liked your polyvore set! I've nearly finished my Agatha Christie one-I found the perfectest dress, but have had such a tough time getting other things to match!
Nope, Aiden. I believe I was 14 when I started the college class. It was a course at the local technical college. And I have little doubt anyone knew how young I was. But yes, I enjoyed it a lot.
I think I'd be really surprised if I actually woke up some birthday and actually felt older.
II feel older everytime I have a birthday.
So, we weren't saying: "All 16-17 year olds are immature" or anything.
Oh, I know. I'm just giving my adoptive sister's sister a hard time.
Hello, Jojo!!! So good to see you again! I just watched the recent version of Little Women the other night.
Cor- most noble friend. Oh, no. I had not dreamt of returning the tissues. It's a good thing you don't want them, too, for I had already disposed of them.
Oh dear, I'm sorry you've watched a few movies you've regretted seeing. . . my parents are pretty strict about what we watch, so as long as I follow their guidelines, I really don't have to worry about much. After I watched The Village, however, with older siblings, I was a little freaked out for awhile . . .
Oh, really? The class originates from England? That's fantastic! Are you happy with how it's been going?
Sounds like you had a good dinner, Fanny!! I believe the correct term is Chow Mein. Otherwise, it makes me think of a half german/english phrase-"my chow."
We have the same kind of windows as your friends. As I've said before, my parents aren't too enthusiastic about meeting online friends, but hey, if I promised that Fanny would wash our windows . . .!!!
What kind of windows do you have?
I can't remember the titles of all of them. Or many of them actually.
Yes, my friend. I believe you've been reading Sherlock Holmes for as long as I've known you.
Aww, thanks, poggin! It's good to see you too! You've been missed! Ah, I'm so glad you're already set with the new guitar, and like it even better! It looks lovely!
Good, catchup done with. *waves to all her dear friends*
Hello all! *Waves*
*Yawn* I overslept by three hours this morning. What I don't get is why no one got me up, I mean you would think around 8:30 or 9:00 someone would've noticed I wasn't up yet. But they didn't and I woke up at 9:30...
Haha! It is nicer to do that, yes. I dislike it when you say something in general, like, for example if you wrote on Facebook "I got wonderful birthday presents!" and then you comment on it, and write what you got. Then a bunch of ignorant people ask, "What did you get?!" That's totally irrelevent, though...
Eh, I just googled "Spanish transator" and chose whichever sounded best.
LOL! A translator tied up in my broom closet? Nay, I do not, for broom closets are far too suspicious. But, if you look in my pantry there should be a translator's room somewhere in a hidden door at the back. (That just brings up why so much food is missing! Who would've thunk it!)
Ah, that's interesting about French! Yeah, Rosetta Stone is also Learn-it-yourself. I don't think that fits me the best at the stage I am, because I really need alot of motivation to get myself doing something, so it is hard for me to just start and actually get somewhere. I prefer having a teacher, like I do in the other two languages that I'm learning, because then I have someone to be accountable to and someone who will push me. I know, I do seem rather not self-dependant in that aspect, but I *am* working on that! I think with regular school I'm more independant, when it comes to Spelling, Science and Social Studies notes, and sometimes English, but not so much in others.
Riding lessons? =0 That's SO awesome! We used to take some a while ago, but stopped for some time. I hope you have lots of fun. Are you assigned to one horse, or do you use different ones every lesson?
Ok, this is the third time I've tried to reply to you. Three's a charm, right?
Ah, I see.
Oh, how silly of me! A broom closet is far too obvious, you're right! A pantry is far more subtle and far less likely to be noticed. You can always blame the missing food on being a growing girl can't you?
Yeah, learn-it-yourself isn't very easy for things like another language. In regular school it's easier to be independent becasue you have something of a foundation to stand on.
Yup! I think I'll ride the same horse most of the time. It's a small ranch and they only have two horses they can use for lessons. (Three of the horses had foals this spring and two of them are really stressed because the foals are being weened.) It has been really fun thus far, even with the horse going the opposite direction all the time. Apparently, she does that when she knows you have control and wants to see how much. She also likes to step on people's feet. I think she believes in "No pain, No gain" for her riders.
Ah yes. I have heard many woes from various acquaintances who bewail the fact of no older brothers. I am quite blessed to have 3, and 4 younger. (Odd-I haven't heard tons of people bewail the fact of no younger brothers... ) I guess they don't know what they're missing out on.
Anyways. I was blessed to have an older sister as well. But she's out now. Married, with a sweet little daughter. 😀
Life is good.
I do sorrow for and with you though. I really cannot imagine life without my sweet and... cool ( ) brothers.
Really? I think having older brothers would be nice in some aspects, but you can hardly ask an older brother for help when you can't find an acceptable outfit to wear. Or you can't borrow your older brothers shoes. You're probably right-most people don't know what they're missing. I don't, either, but I've heard from Ruby, and having younger brothers sounds like it can be fun and annoying at the same time. Is it?
Aw, how old is your niece?
I have an older sister, a younger sister, and older brother, and a younger brother. Smack dab in the middle am I.
I'M SO MISUNDERSTOOD!!!
You should tlak to MeadowMaid she feels the same way.Does it bother you that you're the third daughter, too? Third daughters are apparently very misunderstood.
Winty (can I call you Winty?), I'm doing swell! How are you? You can call me Pebbles, Pebs, pels or whatever you so wish.
Alright, I'll cally uo Pels! You can call me Winty, Winter, Ws, or pretty much anything that correlates with my username.
Ouch. Sounds like you needed some coffee from the coffee pot.
I do. Sadly, my family are all tea-drinkers and despise coffee.
That doesn't sound very good. Too much homework? That's usually the problem. I hope things get better!
Something like that. Not to mention the whole doing-the-wrong-problem-set thing.
Well now I'm sure we both feel better after that.
Aaah! *looks around wildly for an exit* I think I just walked into an "anger management" support group!
Hey, Benjamin! Long time no "see"! How's life?
That teapot story was so funny, Winter. Thanks for a laugh!
*Bows* Thank you, I strive to entertain. (Half the time, it's on accident, though.)
Oh, I'm sorry, Winter! I hate losing posts!
So do I. I had hoped to instal lthe latest firefox and get Lazarus but that plan kinda died. BTW, have you seen "dead" emotion? I was looking for one, and I couldn't find it...
Winter- How terribly frustrating! I lost a post just two days ago and had to rewrite the whole thing. Hope things are better now.
Thanks. As long as I can post this without it dieing I'll be very happy. That's too abd about your post, though.
Oh yes! And do let me know, when you're 16, how the trick works for you, I'm sure you'll be able to pull it off nicely.
I will! I hope you don't mind waiting a year, or two, or three... Maybe I can start practicing now. I think I'll be really good in three years if I start now, don't you?
WinterStar, aww that stinks you lost your post! That's been happening a lot lately, huh? *would put in a plug for Lazarus, but WS already knows about it*
It really does. Yup, it never happened with the old NarniaWeb. The new one hates me. I don't care how many times people say it's inanimate, I know it's out to get me! BTW, do you advertise for Mozilla or something? 'Cause you're doing a pretty good job.
Oh, I know. I'm just giving my adoptive sister's sister a hard time.
Oh, ok. Oops. When I read that i thought it said "adoptive sister" and I thought you meant Fanny was your adoptive sister. (You did start off talking to both of us) And I wrote up a lovely little reply about how you were picking on Fanny, and how mean that was. And then Valia pointe dout what that really said.
See y'all!
