Mortereve all! How is everyone on this fair and lovely mortereve?

Wow! NN95, that's really exciting that your grandpa has been face-to-face with a bear! (But kinda scary too!)
So, anything new going on lately?

Everything's been going great for me, thanks, Ruby! We're visiting our grandparents for the weekend, and I'm excited about that!

Thanks for helping me so much, pon! I'll work on a backstory for my character.
Lol, well, there are mountains near to where we live (like, I can see some out of the window in my room in the distance), but we don't actually live on one. Sorry for being confusing, lol. No, we've never vacationed in the mountains. It would be nice too, though.

FF: I got one of the Redwall books at the library on Wednesday! It's called Rakkety Tam. I haven't had a chance to start reading it yet, but I'm planning to this afternoon.

I'm doing great, thanks, Bella! It's hard to believe that it's actually fall now. It's beginning to get cool outside! And I've been reading a lot lately, as usual.

malkah, I think my sister does want her ears pierced but she's nervous, plus she doesn't want to have to clean them after they're pierced.
Oh, you should read Fairest as soon as you can! It's almost better than Ella Enchanted! (IMO, anyway!) I've also read The Two Princesses of Bamarre, The Wish, and Dave at Night.
Lol, they do. My siblings are nuts over the Red Lobster biscuits.

This ketchup didn't take too long! Only about 15 minutes. Anyway, this afternoon my family and I are leaving to visit our grandparents for the weekend (they live a few hours away, so we don't see them quite as often). My grandma, my mom, my sister and I are going down to the mall to go shopping on Saturday! Looking forward to that. I suppose I must go now. I have to start packing!

~Lucy

Mortereve all!

Not much to catch up on today.

QS, I don't think I will be going to SAICFF this year (or rather next year because it's in January, right?) But anyways, last trip wiped out most of my savings, and Texas is kinda far away from where I live...so yeah, I won't be able to go. but i think it would be cool for NWebbers who are going, to meet there. Guess it just won't be us...

my wonderful dear friend BENT, Nothing much has been going on with me, except I got my licence on Monday. Anything exciting with you?

Well, I happen to know what state you live in, NG. Not sure whether you told me or I found out a different way. But since your dad killed a bear I just guessed that you lived in the mountians (which would be the Blue Ridge). But anyways, you really should vacation in the mountians. They are so gorgeous for photography, and there are really good hikes.

Tonight I'm going to a teen party!! I've been waiting for this all week, and Friday is finally here!

Mortereve all!

Did you hear that, Dani? He said I was right! And I don't care if you call me Ruby or Dani. Either one works!

Yeah, you tell her, Ruby! Oh, I know that. When I said "Dani or Ruby?" I meant that I wasn't sure which one of you had said what you wrote.

Congrats to you, NN. Glad you got your braces off. I've been doing great. Got my licence (a restricted one) on Monday, and did a little bit of driving. On Tuesday, I got a facebook. So I'm still fiddling around with things on there, trying to figure out how everything works. Yesterday, I wrote a film short that hopefully will be filmed over Christmas vaction. So yeah, things are busy. What do you have going on this week?

Thank you! Glad to hear you've been doing great. Ooh, conga-rats on the license! Ah, how are you enjoying Facebook? Wow, you must be quite the writer—seems like you're most always writing something! What's the film about?
Not much... this will be a pretty slow weekend, which is nice! Tonight, there's a teen activity at church, but there's really nothing that's going to happen on Saturday. Sunday will be a regular Sunday with church and football afterwards. So, yeah, just a normal weekend.

Very good question. I think it's something along the lines such as when people tell you you've grown so much since you last saw them. Do you say "Thank you", "I know", or what? >_>

Well, the example of someone mentioning to you that you've grown.... your response depends on whether or not you like being tall. If you like it, you'd say "Thank you." If you didn't like it, you'd say "Yeah, I know..." Something along those lines.

Ah good, I'm glad it's all clear! Neat! What type of role did you play? And, do you do these plays with other homeschoolers, or is a local theatre group?

Well, I was the sort-of main character—the proud guy who bosses everyone around. He does some evil plotting and gets someone sent to jail... fun part to play! The homeschool group at our church does these.

There he goes again! *sighs deeply* (just kiiiiding.)
I keep telling myself I need to get Firefox and Lazarus soon, I'll get around to doing it sometime. (But, if it helps in the way of pleasure if my distress without Firefox, I can't do any decent graphics without it, because I need it for my fonts. ) I'll download it tomorrow, if I get time. =]

Lol! Well, I tell you for a good reason.
Well, as long as are there a couple of things to make you miserable until you download Firefox, then I'm happy. Hehe, kidding.

Good, I was getting worried!
Oh, dear! No, no not like that. I only meant to defend my Potato self! The Square Onion and the Square Potato are the same! Both roots and cuz's.

Yes, well, no need to be worried any longer. (About, what........? )
Ok, ok, then. I forgive you for temporarily and inadvertently putting a bad light on the SquareOnion. Ooh, we're root cousins?

*gasps* The truth... *claps hands twice, then wonders why she did so, then proceeds* has been revealed.

As if you didn't know that before.

That it's Ruby's fault or that someone could have a dual Onion/Pea identity?

The latter. I can easily believe that it's Ruby's fault!

Hm, I'm not sure. I think it is in the middle for nearly everyone. Mine, Your's, Queen S's, and a few don't have it in the middle but most do.

Whoa, there's definitely something wrong with your computer. None of the avatars or post counts are suppose to be in the middle—they should all be off to the right.

Wow! NN95, that's really exciting that your grandpa has been face-to-face with a bear! (But kinda scary too!)
So, anything new going on lately?

Yeah, it was quite exciting, but scary too.
Ummm, nope not much going on. Tonight there's a teen meeting at church, but that's about it.

Well, I'm off. Have a great Friday, everyone!! Mortereve all!

EDIT (about seven hours later): Wow.... the Square isn't moving at all today....

*finds NN's signature line "Once a SquareOnion, always a SquareOnion" quite amusing in light of recent conversations*

*wishes the royal Lady A a birthday as happy as it is belated, which equation should mean much happiness* Or... I could wish you a very happy Un-Birthday, so even if I messed up the other one, I've still wished you much happiness!

Someone asked how I typed upside down... I cheated. I used letters from the original upside down statement and formed my own sentence. You'll notice a few oddball right side up letters.

Hello all! *Waves*

That's great, Winter! Though I must say that I'm a bit scared of horses, myself.

That's ok. Lots of people are (myself included). What helped me get over it was taking lessons, a few years ago. Tacking up and spending time around the horse before you get helps dispel (dispell?) the fear fast.

It doesn't? I thought it did. And Suspain. You know? Su-san. Ca-spian. Though instead of Suspian, I write Suspain. Because it's painful.

Well, it shows your dislike of Caspian, just not Suspain. Oh, so you don't like the Susan/Caspian pairing? (Neither do I, it's so not-canon and generally IMHO) Of course the other reason you might've typed Suspain was because you weren't paying attention...

That's really no fun. I'm extremely blessed--I normally fall asleep within 15 minutes of trying to... And sleep soundly until my alarm beeps... It's a rare occasion that I don't sleep well. Indeed, I'm blessed. I guess I take it for granted--way too much.
I really hope that you're able to sleep better as well!!

Wow...I remember waking up one morning and my mom asked me how I slept and I was like: "Great! I fell asleep at ten!" (Which is an hour after I went to bed). I hope I can start sleeping better anturally, because there aren't a whole lot of things you can do about it as a young teenager... You know, they don't make medicine for teens for things like sleep-less-ness, and Restless Leg Syndrome? Makes my life not very fun... Anyhow, onto more pleasant topics, how have you been?

Hoooooray! I have survived braces!

Lucky! I just got elastics.<--That doesn't look right. Maybe I'm imagining things.

Yeah, you brought it on yourself, eh? Wow, there's another long one!

Pretty much...I just don't have time/energy on the weekdays. In fact I'd be doing this catch-up tomorrow except I'm going on a youth retreat.

Lol! Well, there are many other ways to have fun other than yelling. For example, blowing things up or smashing old, useless things. You get the idea.

Ooh! Blowing things up...sounds fun! You know, I've never actually blown anything up... I have smashed lots of things, though.

*stands back a ways* Case in point.

I have just one thing to say:

Very weird. Oh, that was a rhetorical question.....

Brilliant demonstration of your intelligence there...

WinterStar: I know the feeling! When I get something new- mainly a new book or something, I can't stop looking at it for a few seconds over and over either, although I know it's not exactly going to go away if I don't look at it...

Mmmm, yeah, it can be confusing/weird at times, eh? It's almost as if the love of horses and the wanting to be around them overcomes (most of the time) the scared feelings, I think.

Ah, yes, I do understand those. For us it's mainly the hay that adds up. If it's any help (or you can store this for future information), horses will do perfectly fine if you leave them in a large-ish fenced in pasture area with room to run and a run in shelter for them in place of a barn and stalls. That's what we do- we have a smaller corral where we give them the hay with a run in shelter, and then have fenced in forest and a small pasture for them to run in and go about as they like. It cuts down on the mucking out for sure (for the most part. We need a tractor to come in and clear out the mud/muck in the corral, it's hard to stay on top of that). But if you dry land/grass area, they'll do well on that. But, I can understand, the thought of vet bills, farriers and the like can be something. I guess we've been fortunate to not have needed them (well, we have a farrier, although my sister is learning how to trim the horses feet in a natural way so they can go without shoes) as much, but we might need them some day, and then what? >_>

I haven't had a new book in a while, but I do that with them, too. It's kinda funny, really.

Hmm, that sounds like our pasture, what you described. We don't have a run-in shelter but I bet it'd not be too hard to build one. (I mean, come on we're building a whole new building) A shelter would be no biggie, of course we do have to finish the building, but it's already half-finished... But the thought of the vet bills and stuff is really quite frightening and then a farrier, too... Hay might not be so difficult but we still can't get a horse...*sigh* Oh well, maybe when my cousin goes to college she'll come down here and get a horse. (Such is the current plan, but a lot can change in four years...)

Did that ^ make any sense? No? I thought not.

I've seen episodes 2 and 3...

Yeah, you can adopt mine and my sisters policy of the second-half of the finale and the whole third season are non-canon.

WINTER!!! How are you, dearie? Ok, so I have come to the conclusion that Merlin is an inspiring show. I've taken up FanFiction writing again!! And when I'm writing FanFiction...you know I've been inspired....or I'm just crazy...

I'm leaning towards crazy...
I'm good.
Did you get my note about how I'm really not a fan and I only like three of their songs, I'm not into their music at all and really don't appreciate having people say that I am?

@ Winter. *laugh* I've been meaning to ask, who is that in your avatar? I've seen Ryan (Rising_Star) with some graphics of that kid, but I can never figure out what he is from....

The kid in my avatar is Mordred from the BBC Merlin. I don't know the actors name, unfortunately, but I do know he plays the boy in The Boy in Striped Pajamas
Ryan makes wonderful, graphics doesn't she? And yes she does have quite a few with Mordred, but to be fair he's her favorite character in just about every version of the legend.

Hello, LucyTheValiant I'm sure everyone else has already welcomed you, but Welcome to the Square! Do you have a nickname or something you would like us to call you? Or do you not want a nickname? Just wondering, 'cause some people have nicknames and some don't.

*skitters out of the way* Wow, it certainly was!

No need to be too scared I managed not to run over anybody.

Thanks for making me feel better. It's true, after 10pm, the memory just goes.

I know, and if the memory doesn't go, it's the sanity that does.

Oh, I just read your reply to Djaq, much longer and more elaborate than mine, but I think they convey the same thing.

See y'all!

*peeks in* Hello, and good mortereve to you all! It's been awhile since I posted here. *sigh* I hope you all have been doing well! I've missed the Square.

School has been.... well, insane. I'm going to try to post several times weekend, though they won't be long ones.

Just a few things that caught my attention on the last few pages... Nick, you got your braces off? Yay!! I'm getting mine off in early November sometime. At least, that's the plan right now.

And PoN... congratulations on getting your driver's license! Oh, and how's your book coming? Do you have it posted anywhere? I'd love to read it if you do!

Good mortereve, all! How is everyone this clear and starry night? Which reminds me...do any of you guys enjoy the art of Vincent van Gogh? You should definitely look at some of his work. Brilliant. Here is a my favorite painting by him:

And for those of you that where wondering when my next video blog would be out, here's the link: A Narnia Fan's Journey #7. I hope you guys enjoy the video!

I thought I would just shout this out since I'm sort of a math geek. NarniaWeb takes up 0.000111111111111% of the population. Yes, this is what I do in my spare time .

Of course not! I only listen to their music every day or so. That's pretty moderate, don't you think?

Yes, I suppose.

Ouch! I'm sorry! Back injuries are no fun--I fractured my spine a couple years ago, and it really affects every motion you make. Are you going to do therapy for it?

I'm sorry to hear about that, malkah . No. I am only doing some exercises to help...but the exercises are so painful .

Well, EP, yesterday at the library I checked out The Ruins of Gorlan, which is the first book in the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. It's really good so far.

H'mm, sounds interesting. Perhaps I'll have to check it out sometime .

Gracias. Sí, no hay nada mal acerca de usar un traductor. Yo prefiero no usarlo, per sólo porque me gusta escribir español por mi mismo.

Ohh, lo siento. Espero que sienta mejor.

Parece que seguimos dejando a esta conversación que nos hace más largos y más largos. Quizás deberíamos cambiar el sujeto.

¿Qué lengua toma usted después?

Oh, ok, I figured that's whom you were referring to. the LotGK has been cut from what movie? Yeah, at first I didn't pay much attention to it, but it is kinda scaring me now.

The LotGK has been cut from VDT . Yes...'tis scaring me also .

*laughing* For a moment, I had forgotten what I had been talking about too..until I read the rest of what you said.

Haha! Really?

By the way, Ed, what does your signature mean?

It is in French. It is a quote, from Jane Eyre I believe. "The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself."

Edmund P: That is interesting weather you've been having, I'd guess. Ours has sounds like it's somewhat been like yours- rain/sun/rain/clouds/sun, etc, all in one day. Today was rather mild and sunny though.

Yes, very interesting weather . Today it was pretty sunny, but humid .

I think I have detected a slight improvement in my cough, thanks! How are things for you?

That's good, FF. Your welcome . Things are going well. I hardly had to do any school today, I doubled up yesterday .

Bella, welcome back !

So everyone's info is in the middle of their posts, instead of on the right? Odd! Maybe it's just a difference in browsers or something.

That happened to me once...but everything is fine now. It probably just some glitch that happens when loading.

I'm doing pretty well; unfortunately, my whole family has come down with the H1N1 virus (which is overly exaggerated, but still not fun. )

Oh, malkah that's AWFUL! I hope everybody in your household gets well soon !

MISS ROSARIO! Where have you been all this time?! Tsk, tsk, you've got to come back more often.

That's all for today, folks. I'm off to watch The Lord of the Rings.

G'night everyone!

Mortereve, all!

*is typing this from Firefox, and downloaded Lazarus, so she's going to 'x' out the browser and see what happens*
---
*lets out a huge gasp* Wow! I think I'm in love with this Lazarus thing. It works so nice...

School was...not so amazing today, but I'm pulling through it well. No Columbus Day here, because I'm a day or so behind in some of my work, but I don't mind too much.

Since I have Firefox now, I'm going to go and download some fonts and work on a cover for my NaNo novel so that should be fun.

Catchup:

Aitb, no, I don't have a nickname yet, but it would be fun to have one! Any ideas?

Nothing comes to mind right now, but I'll think of something!

So everyone's info is in the middle of their posts, instead of on the right? Odd! Maybe it's just a difference in browsers or something.

It's something like that. All the information is in the middle. Yeah, it might be because of browsers. I'm using Firefox right now, and everything's the same way. Personally, I thought it being in the center looked really neat.

Is your NaNo story about the 1800s/Trail of Tears? (saw your post in the Books thread)

There are probably going to be several stories in my NaNo novel, and one of them is going to be on the Trail of Tears, yes. I still have to read a little bit more on the 1800's and the Trail of Tears so I don't have any historical flaws with it. This story's going to be around a Native American girl and a settler making friends, having some differences in their friendship but still being friends, then the friend's family might be taken with the Indian Removal Act and the settler thinks that her friend is dead and is sad about it, but just continues in life and then after a couple decades or so the settler (I haven't figured on names yet, can you tell? ) returns to the place she grew up at, and finds her Native American friend. It's still somewhat fuzzy, and sort of "Happily Ever After!" themed but I'll be fixing that in some ways.

Oh, and congrats on 3000 posts! That's awesome!

Aw, thanks! =]

I'm doing great, thanks, Bella! It's hard to believe that it's actually fall now. It's beginning to get cool outside! And I've been reading a lot lately, as usual.

That's good! Yeah, it is hard to believe that this year has breezed by so fast. I keep thinking that March was not a while ago, and then realize we're in October already! But that just means we're closer to (oh joy!) Christmas.
That's nice that you've been reading alot. I haven't been reading as much as I'd like, since school has been keeping me real busy lately but I'm just about to finish The Princess Tales by Gail Carson Levine and I really enjoyed them. They all were sweet stories, and it's neat to see how better her writing got over time. (Ella Enchanted is still probably my favourite by her, though.) What have you been reading?
I saw you had read Fairest! I agree, it was really good. (Although, I like Ella Enchanted a bit more.) But, yes, it was a great book.

My wonderful, dear friend Princess B:
You got your license? How cool is that! That must be really exciting for ya. ^^ Congrats!
Nothing too exciting is going on here, either. It's just...well, just October. ~.~ I'm really looking forward to November, though, because of NaNo WriMo, so that's pretty exciting.
*sighs* How's school and all with you?

Aiden, conga-rats for getting your braces off! Yay!

Lol! Well, I tell you for a good reason.
Well, as long as are there a couple of things to make you miserable until you download Firefox, then I'm happy. Hehe, kidding.

Heh, I see you were. Lazarus is COOL! I'm tempted to finish this post, 'x' out and see if it will save. Which it probably will. Thank-you, O FireFox's worker and Eye Opener.
Ahah! Well, I recognise how miserable I was...sort of. And it's so helpful that Firefox copies and pastes emoticons so they show up, too. IE doesn't do that. =(

Yes, well, no need to be worried any longer. (About, what........? )
Ok, ok, then. I forgive you for temporarily and inadvertently putting a bad light on the SquareOnion. Ooh, we're root cousins?

Worried about you being offended. Because I'm just that caring that I would be. ;] (joking, joking)
I feel honored, then and I feel less miserable because I am forgiven. Thank-you. =] Haha! Yes, I suppose we are! ^^

As if you didn't know that before.

*...sniffs* I did not.

Whoa, there's definitely something wrong with your computer. None of the avatars or post counts are suppose to be in the middle—they should all be off to the right.

LOL! Sorry, I find it really funny that you thought I was saying that the avatars and everything were in the middle of the screen.
No, everything was off to right where it should be but the Username under the avatar, posts, location, and all that stuff were in the center under the avatar. (Listed like the way the sigs are if you put them in the center.)

Mel, even thought it was a cheat that still was a pretty smart way to get the upside down letters. They had this site for facebook on how you could get that, and I'm sure it could work on other sites too. But, I lost the site.

"Once a SquareOnion, always a SquareOnion"? I guess I do feel pretty out of place. Like the oddball, or the odd square.

*waves to Winty(who I just accidentally called "Windy"...), Miss R, and Ed P.*

Well, I'm off to watch Bolt with my dear sister! Good Mortereve, all!

Hey everyone, just dropping in real quick to answer this question:

@ Winter. *laugh* I've been meaning to ask, who is that in your avatar? I've seen Ryan (Rising_Star) with some graphics of that kid, but I can never figure out what he is from....

The kid is indeed Mordred from the BBC Merlin and he is played by the young actor Asa Butterfield. Asa was Bruno in The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas, a Brethren boy who spoke briefly to Will Proudfoot in Son of Rambow, and is going to be in the next Nanny McPhee movie as a boy named Norman.

I think he's an amazing little actor who has incredible blue eyes. He's been quoted as saying he doesn't want to have an acting career, but I'm hoping he reconsiders, or at least stays around for a long time before he stops.

Ryan makes wonderful graphics doesn't she? And yes she does have quite a few with Mordred, but to be fair he's her favorite character in just about every version of the legend.

Hehe, thanks for the compliment! But also to be fair, I have done several other graphics with other BBC Merlin characters. Specifically of Arthur for a certain someone . . . But I do like Mordred a lot in general. And having Asa as a young!Mordred is just squee-worthy for me, lol.

P.S."Brooklyn!"

Mortereve all!

Just a really quick ketchup. I don't have tons of time at the moment.

pon: Yeah, I told you and eusy the state I lived in, but I think it was a while ago, like when it was just the three of us in RP. Not really sure...
Teen party? Totally cool! Did you have fun?

Sounds cool, NN95. Hope the teen meeting went well. How is school going for you?

Yeah, being around horses more would probably make me feel more comfortable around them, Winter.

Miss Rose!!! It's great to see you in the Square again! I've missed you!

Yup, Christmas is just two months away, Bella! I got out the Christmas CDs in September. Yeah, I love Christmas music.
Oh, The Princess Tales are good! I've read all of them except for The Princess Test. They're so funny and good for a quick, easy read.
Me? Well, I've been working on finishing Dragonlight by Donita K. Paul, as well as Ranger's Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan.
Yes, Fairest is a great book! I do love Ella Enchanted, though.
Oh, you're watching Bolt with your sister? Love that movie! It's hilarious!

All right. Anyway, we're at our grandparents' for the weekend. We arrived early afternoon yesterday. My grandma, Mom, my sis, and I went shopping during the end of yesterday, and we didn't get back until almost 10 p.m. And right now my grandma, my mom, and my sis are out shopping again. I would be with them, but when I woke up this morning my legs were aching really badly (and they still are right now, even though I'm sitting down). I don't know why they're bothering me so badly, but I took an Ibuprofen (sp?) pill earlier, and I'm hoping that if my legs feel better later, I can still go shopping with them this afternoon. But other than that, I am really having a wonderful time. Had powdered donuts for breakfast this morning. And it's so great to see my grandparents again.

~Lucy

Whaaaaat? The SquarePotato is a step above the SquareOnions? Hmph!!!!

Good, I was getting worried! The Square Onion and the Square Potato are the same! Both roots and cuz's.

Ditto.

I'm doing pretty well; unfortunately, my whole family has come down with the H1N1 virus (which is overly exaggerated, but still not fun. )

The Centers for Disease Control website has good information on H1N1 too. Yep. Pretty much run-of-the-mill flu, affecting some very hard with other known health problems. Hitting our schools locally thoroughly, but folks are being sensible and staying home with it.

Nothing much has been going on with me, except I got my licence on Monday.

*puts on his paramedic hat* Wear your seatbelt. Practice avoiding distractions to driving.

EDIT (about seven hours later): Wow.... the Square isn't moving at all today....

Or much at all over the last few days.

School has been.... well, insane. I'm going to try to post several times weekend, though they won't be long ones.

I am glad you are paying attention to school.

Yes, this is what I do in my spare time .

You are allowed.

*prepares a late breakfast of oatmeal and brown sugar*

Reasonably uneventful shift on the helo. One trip to Las Vegas with a wee tyke that had some problems with his tummy.

Hello all! I hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday afternoon! I am- and even better, we found out tomorrow we're going to some visit some cousins, which should be fun. And then, of course, for us Canadians, it's Thanksgiving on Monday. Which sneaked up on me quite suddenly... oh well...

Bella: A hearty conga rats on your surpassing 3,000 posts!

Oh good! I'm very glad to hear all is better for you!

Hmmm....well, I've mainly been planning my NaNo story and reading. What about you? Your NaNo story sounds great! I read a Dear America diary on the Trail of Tears once, but for some reason there was a few things in it I didn't like...Hmm. Oh well! All the best with your novel plotline/research!

Queen Susan: Ah yes, that too. But hopefully you can see them at others times? Oh, and I'm very glad you'll live too. We wouldn't want you not living, now would we?

Malkah: *waves back* Oooh, I hope your family feels better soon! Other than that, how are you?

Narnia Girl: Great! I haven't read that one yet, will you let me know how it is? And of course what you thought of it in general and whatnot.

Aiden: Ah, alright thanks! *understands now and henceforth has the proper reply for the next time someone says that, which will be never as she has rather stopped growing*

Playing the antagonists can be fun, can't it? Ah, I see! Do you have a large homeschool group?

WinterStar: Don't worry, it does make sense! I hope your cousin's plans are able to be carried out. And who knows...maybe after all you will be able to when you and your siblings (or those who would want the horse) are a bit older? Not saying I doubt your ability to care for a horse and whatnot, but you never know.

Is there anything new with you? Have you been able ride/work with the horses you mentioned earlier recently?

*waves to Miss Rosario* Great to see you around, even if it is just for a drive by post! I'm sorry to hear school is swamping you, I, er, hope it lets up soon!

Edmund P: Hurrah for hardly any school work! How has the rest of things been going for you?

Well, I suppose I should be off now. Cheers everyone!

Hey everyone! Long time no chat! This week has been crazy, it was the last week of the quarter. But now its over and we have OCTOBER BREAK for a week! And to celebrate, my family is going to DISNEYLAND!!! I'm so excited, although I'll miss chatting with you all for the next week! (Even though while I'm there, I might completely forget about the amount of posts piling up on the Square. xD)

Hello stargazer! Wow, SNOW!! Don't see much of that here, haha xD

Costco is the place to get iPods, NG!

QS, please, call me Syd!!

Wow, that is rather crazy! Most people here have been wearing jackets, but it's up into the low 60s! I think that's warm!

o.O *thinks NN is insane..*
But yes, the longer you live in Arizona the thinner your blood, it seems. And since I've lived here for practically all my life...
And maybe boys' pockets seem so large compared to girls'

And congratulations for getting your braces off!! I got a few brackets placed on while you got yours off...and dang does that hurt! My ortho just ripped them off, i thought he was gonna yank my tooth out with the bracket. And now my teeth feel all bruised...

FF, life is great! Crazy, but great! This week is October break for me, and its definitely needed. One week off, and then its back to school for another two months! How have you been?

Yup! I don't know what I'm going to get everyone in my family yet either. Last year flambeau and I split the gifts that we got everyone so that they were from both of us. It worked well. Less shopping.

smart idea! I do that when I get friends birthday presents, me and my neighbor will sometimes just put it all together. But my family is rather small, so I only need to get three or four gifts to get everyone convered
ooooh! I CHOCOLATE cake! Thats definitely what I want at my wedding, I'm not gonna mess with all this vanilla and white business
Aannd yes, I did get my iPod touch! It's so great!

Ruby, I know what you mean! Everyone expects you to be amazing because you are the teacher's child, but you aren't really. And I recently gave up violin, ahaha...But I was only taking it through the school and it was just turning into being too much of a bother to practice violin, piano, do homework, and finish my chores!

*waves back to Prince Cor* How have you been?

Hello CS!

Wow, Edmund P, you sound like quite the iPod person! I was so frustrated when the new nano came out with a video camera and FM radio, but it's all right. I already have a very nice camera, one better than the nano, and the radio in my car works just as fine...its the games that I'm so excited for! I LOVE all the applications for the Touch!
And Yes, as soon as I got it I went right to Best Buy and got Ghost Armor on my iPod! I also ordered a case from Amazon (soo much cheaper online) that should arrive anyday...I don't want anything to happen to my baby! xD

Oh dear, now I'll be dreading that as I read! This is why authors should release a whole series at a time. I'm going to borrow both books from friends as well; still no luck at the library. The T-shirts sound fun! (maybe post pics)

Yay! I'm so excited you are reading it!! And I agree, or at least release one once a month or something! People keep saying "When is the next one coming out???" And I have to sadly reply "Not for another year..." Its killing me!
And yes, I'll definitely post pictures!!

I actually like to shop really early...I've found Christmas presents in April before.

Oh my! I usually wait if I find something good that early...because they could get it during the year, or maybe won't want it by the time Christmas rolls around. But maybe thats because my family can't make up their minds!

and ahaha, If he'll let me I will post a few pictures xD

Hello to LucyTheValiant, I mean Emmy! I'm glad to have you! Now I'm not the new person anymore! xD You'll fit in just fine, even though it is a bit overwhelming at first!!

*waves to FaunstaticSyd* ;] That long post took you only 45 minutes?! 😮 !

Should it have taken me longer? Lol I thought that was a long time

I love The Wish, NG!! I remember reading it in second grade, and it was twenty-something chapters long, and I thought I was soo cool for reading such a big book! xD I loved it then, even though I didn't know a lot of the words, and have since reread it multiple times!

Sorry if I didn't reply, I just skimmed on this! Don't expect a reply for the next week either:B

Hello again! We had a lovely afternoon, and went for a 33 mile bike ride. It was.... tiring, but fun all the same.

*chuckles* Thank you for... er... letting us know that NarniaWeb takes up 0.0001111111111111 (or whatever the percent was) of the population, Ed P.. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I am actually liking math now. Something changed dramatically after I started school, I guess.

Aww, thank you for the warm welcome-back! I've... umm... been neck-deep in homework, I guess. Good to see you again, too!!

Oh, you have firefox now, Bella? Let me guess... was this the result of Nick's work?

Thanks, Narnia Girl! It's good to be back.

Yep, Ceppault, I've been spending a lot of my evenings doing school lately. But it seems to be paying off, so I don't mind.

Hello, Fanny! It's good to "see" you again! How is everything your way?

And fauntastic, I don't believe I've met you yet. *extends hand* I'm Miss Rosario, called Rose, Rosa, Miss R, and the like. It's lovely to meet you! I'm around the Square off and on, as I'm sure you'll notice.

I hope you all have a lovely mortereve!

*sneaks in quietly, and a bit sleepily*

Hello all! I hope you are all doing splendidly. My apologies for my looong absence... my lovely grandparents have come for a too-short visit, and there isn't much time for the internet--let me rephrase that; there isn't much time for Town Square catchup posts that take up to two hours to write up...

There is one event that happened whenst my sister was here visiting that is quite humorous... you see, we have cell phones exactly alike, and we are always grabbing each others phones (secretly) and switching pictures to make it look like one belongs to the other (If you get my meaning, but don't worry if you don't, I'm hard to understand sometimes ). So, whilst she was here the day before yesterday, I grabbed her phone and mine, sneaked off somewhere and put her background picture on mine and my background picture on her's. I then came back in the room and sat them on the table. My Brother-in-law glanced at each phone, and grabbed the phone with my sister's picture on it (which if you have been following this story closely, it happens to be my phone). He then looked at me and asked, "You didn't change pictures?" I just smiled, and he put it in his pocket and they left (You can only imagine the laughter I was holding in). I then told one of my other sisters (which sadly, she doesn't have a phone like mine, so I can't torture her ) what I had done and we both began laughing so hard we probably had tears. I called my phone (which was in the pocket of my bro), and he answered (which made me laugh even harder knowing he had picked up the phone seeing my sister's name, rather than mine), I laughed the entire odd phone call, and moments later they pulled back in the driveway. I ran outside (still laughing) and we exchanged phones. As I was walking off my sister said under her breath (and while she was changing her phone background), "Have a lovely night, Poo-head."

Good Mortereve, everyone!
