~*~Tiana: Glad your camping went well!!!! Glad no one got hurt.

~*~malkah: Yippee, 100 posts!!!! (Come on everyone, go congratulate her on the "Conga-rats" thread as well!!)

~*~*waves to CSLN and Ruby*

~*~Syd: Hey! Things are going well, thanks! Not a whole lot is going on--but then again... never mind. A lot IS going on. This Thursday one of my friends has a b-day party I really hope to go to... That lasts until Friday--just a bunch of girls going bowling and to a sleepover. That should be fun. If I go, that is. Then Friday evening we'll be at my grandparents, and... on Saturday we'll be making apple cider!! 200-300 gallons of it.
Then Sunday again... And... yep. That's the week.

*bursts into the Square, breathless*
Guess what everyone!!!! (drum-roll please!!!) It has been exactly two weeks since my last ketchup post!!

*realizes suddenly that everyone is staring at her with a blank look on their face*
Well, I thought it was interesting.

Well, today was the last day working at the 'cluster of barns' and it went quite well! I'm going to miss several of the kids, they were cute!

In other news, I am seriously considering doing NaNoWriMo for the first time! I'm really excited about my idea, I'm just hoping that I can do it to my satisfaction.

Now, to proceed with my ketchup...

Thanks to everyone who commented on my graphics!

Well... um... How's school going?

Well, since I graduated a couple of years ago, I'd say it's going great!
How about for you? (you are still in school, right?)

That's interesting. I'm glad you enjoyed them! Nice avy/sig set, by the way!

Yup, I do (very much!)!
Thank you!

Thanks flam! I have been pretty busy, but luckily this week is the end of the quarter so all I really have is tests and early releases and breaks off! I'm hoping to break in my new iPod with all my spare time!

Sounds great!

Thanks, flambeau!
Oh, that doesn't sound boring! Reading is tons of fun, and I love to make graphics.

Ah, good! I'm glad that it doesn't sound boring.

Oh, meant to tell you... I really liked the song Glorious Impossible!

flambeau, glad you noticed my new avvy. Guess you would seeing as your sister made it. *waves back at her*

Yeah, I suppose that it did help a little bit.
How are you doing?

Yes, yes, that's a better word. And, for the sake of the history fans around here, there are some interesting things.

I thought so.
Yup, there are! The Civil War is probably my favorite time period.

No. *sits.... thinks for a while........ * Yes. Just kidding. So, uh, any new soundtracks come your way?

Well, I bought three last week (my sister owned them, so they're on the computer, but we don't have the discs anymore.). So, I'm happy about that!

Phhht, so it's my fault now, eh? Trying to pass the blame off on me, huh? Well! All I did was offer my humble opinion as to how you could offer a better impression of yourself when people read your writing simply by correcting a few mistakes, and then you get mad and take the whole thing out on me! Humph! (Hehe, joking. ) (Oh, yes, I remember now. I may be good at grammar, but I have a terrible—umm........ a... uh..... Memory! )

Yes, it is.
Yes, I am.
No, you didn't.
No, I didn't.
Get over it.

(Yes, you do! Kidding!)

I am much, much better at the second. But Djaq and I do both. That's neat that you two'll be doing that now, too.

Yes, I've seen y'alls quoting conversations. Quite impressive!

flam, tell Djaq she needs to post!

Well, she did! (and I believe she did it all on her own. )

Flam: Awww! I hope you have some excitement (of the good sort) soon.

Thank you! I don't really mind it being boring, but yes, some excitement would be good every now and then!
Well, let's see... I'm considering doing NaNoWriMo, is that exciting enough?

"If anyone could, you could, my darling..."

*bows* Thank you!

Jokes are? No way.

"It's true!"

*picks up her violin* JK.
"There's no path to follow once you're here..."

"You'll climb up the slide and then you'll slide down the stairs..."

Wow...

Hey! Not nice!

Yep, I'm quite the performer!

Yes, you are!

*tries to think of something more original than a hug...* Nope. Not working.

Hey, nothing wrong with a hug!! *gives one back*

*remembers having a lot of trouble type Djaq*

Um, Mr. Grammar Freak, there's a typo in there.

@ Flam. Very well, we can go with just a quoting conversation since I'm sure I know quotes that you probably don't and vice versa. So, to start things off: "You are the worst pirate I have ever heard of." ~ Norington, POTC 1.

Sounds like a plan!
"It takes one to know one." - Fireproof

518 pages to be exact.

Yup, that's long!

Quinlin! Hey! It's great to see you drop by!

@ KK, congrats on getting your drivers license!!

flam, I'm sick right now, but other than that, doing pretty well. And you? Beautiful new graphics, by the way!

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you're doing better now!
I'm doing quite well! Thank you!
Thank you!

*giggles at Pebbles' cell phone story* That's awesome!

*waves merrily to flam, or P.P., M., M.C.* Guess what? My brother and I are going to attemp the feat of doing Manalive! for a speech. I'm excited and frightened. And I did an Innocent Smith sort of thing yesterday. I was sure he must be lurking about.

*waves back cheerily* Impressive post!
No way?!! That's awesome!
Might I ask what Innocent Smith sort of thing you did? (I might want to try it sometime. )

*the Square Pea bounces in*

*snork* That's awesome!

Hello Jojo!! How are you doing?

Hey greenleaf! It's great to see you stop by!

Well, I do believe that I'm done ketching-up!!
*waves to everyone not mentioned above*

Have a wonderful mortereve all!!

*waves to all and exits the Square whilst singing I Dare You to Move*

--- flambeau

Hello all! *Waves*

I know I have a catchup looming but I just wanted to say congrats, and welcome to Nuthood to Malkah!!!

See y'all!

Oh dear, I'm afraid I have an awful lot to catch up on.

I will do it later. I PROMISE. It could be a week or more from now, but then again I guess the longer I wait the more I will have to catch up on..

But I just wanted to pop in and say hi. Hope everyone's doing well. Oh, and QS, I read that your grandfather has cancer. He is in my prayers. I hope he's doing okay.

Good mortereve everyone!!

Time for ketchup!

Page 43:

Psychological/character-driven novels are the best.

And so fun to write--lots of self-contemplation and angst. Have you worked out your plot yet? You're writing about the Huguenots, right?

It's amazing how much Kale has grown up and changed when you compare her to the first book.

Yes, it is! She matures quite a lot over the series, although I think changes are actually more noticeable in Bardon.

I'd love for you to jump in! The more, the merrier!

Well, I think Winter was able to sum up in one sentence what it took me an entire ranting paragraph to do.

[spoiler=]Hmm, yes, her voice is pretty annoying. I guess I didn't notice it too much; probably too distracted by her hair. I know, we lose Djaq, Marian, and Will, and we get Tuck, Kate and Isabella. Isabella was interesting at first, but the other two are just plain annoying.[/spoiler]

I love your new sig! The text is just gorgeous.

*waves to princess_of_narnia* I don't think we've met, hello! So you're a Buckeyes fan?

Fanny, I'd love to read your NaNo novel when you're done! Are you going to be posting it somewheres?

I don't want to give anything away right now--I'm afraid if I tell you anything it will kind of spoil it... Sorry.

Now you've got me really curious! I definitely understand--I'll just look forward to reading your synopsis on the NaNo site.

Hehe. Skillet.

Ah, okay. That's what I thought it was, but just wanted to make sure.

*waves back to NN95*

Yay for Lazarus! But, yeah, those notices that say you should donate can be annoying.

*really loves Lazarus and Firefox in general* I can't believe I went so many years on the sad little browser I had before!
Lazarus is a wonderful thing to have, but I don't think it's not a top priority in terms of needs/things I would donate to. So it did annoy me a bit.

I'm reading Persuasion by Jane Austen at the moment.

Ooh, please share what you think of it when you finish! That's one of my favorites!

*the Square Pea bounces in*

Lol! Very cute.

I'm glad you liked it! He is fun, although he looks rather like he's trying to jog with no feet.

Queen Susan, I'm sorry that getting together with your friends isn't working out right now. I know that's really frustrating, hope it gets better for you!

*waves back to Ruby* I'm doing very well, just busy! And you?

That sounds like a wonderful weekend! You've never been to the ocean? Hope that's fun; it's one of the most beautiful things you'll ever see.

I found a really cool 88 page British Army drill manual from 1816, so I've been reading that.

That sounds really, really interesting! British military history is fascinating to read about, especially since it's had such influence on modern warfare. Where did you find it?

I just like coffee for the taste. Yum!

Same here! I love the taste of coffee. It still doesn't live up to the smell, though. How do you drink yours?

I LOVE North and South. I read the book(which is excellent) before seeing the series, and it was an amazing experience watching the story come to life! And so beautifully filmed and acted... Do you like it?

Scotland sounds so lovely! What a neat experience getting to live there. Do you have a kilt?

*does not like or do well at Ultimate Frisbee either*

Cor, I'm doing much better, thanks! Both those pieces are beautiful; I think my favorite is The Place Where Dreams Come True. The soundtrack certainly has a distinctive sound. Do you tend to like soundtracks like Field of Dreams or more epic, orchestral scores?

*starts to skim a bit*

*saves pogginfan's link for typing upside down*

But I must inform you that that pea isn't square.

Oh dear, I was hoping no one would notice! That pea is somewhat of an impostor, but I don't think these would bounce quite so well.

And I love mal as a nickname!

I've never seen snow.

Aww, you're missing out! *boxes up some of her own and sends it poggy's way*

CSLN, I'm doing great! Very busy right now, but it's worth it! Have you been reading anything lately?

Spicy food is the best.

It is! Do you like Indian food?

Narnian at Heart, I'm glad to hear your brother's doing well! The earrings sound lovely; do you still have to wear only posts?

Miss Rosario, I don't believe we've met either. *waves back* Beautiful lyrics that you shared; Kutless is one of my favorite bands!

Meltintalle, the circus sounds fun! I didn't know elephants could do handstands. That sounds like it should defy the laws of physics or something; it must be amazing to see!

Syd, good to hear Disneyland was fun! And I'm so glad you're safe from your accident. There's something about left turns that is just scarier than turning right.

I finished reading The Hunger Games last night and really enjoyed it! I haven't read such a gripping, suspenseful book in a long time! I loved the characters and hated the cliff-hanger ending. So now I'm anxious to get a hold of Catching Fire, but it'll be at least Wednesday before I can borrow it from my friend. I'm looking forward to that, though!

*waves to Edmund P* Enjoy your vacation! And I'd love to hear what you thought of the ending of Jane Eyre, if you have the time.

flam, I hope you do end up joining NaNo! It seems to have really taken off this year!

*sends a "hello!" to MissAravis* How are you doing?

Thanks everyone for the congrats on 100 posts! You all are sweet.

*waves to each and every Onion*

Aaand, this dollop of ketchup is complete. I'll be around for a little while.

EDIT: Good night everyone! Second star to the right, and straight on till morning!

*dances into the Square* Mortereve all!

*gasps* The Square was certainly moving fast yesterday...wow... *wonders how long her ketchup will take*

I'd better get started, then.

Oh, I see now, NN95. Thanks for explaining about the iPods.
Haha, yeah. You're usually second post of the day.

LL! I've missed you lately!

Ruby! Lol, yeah, you can call me Girlee if you want.

malkah, congrats on 100 posts! Now you're a Nut!

Lol, yeah, that's true, Syd! Everything in Costco comes in big packs.
What have you been doing lately?

CS, I love looking at the Narnia books in bookstores too! Yeah, it's so cool to see all the different editions and covers.
Oh, a whole day at the library! I really envy you. We usually only go to the library for a half hour...sometimes an hour, though.

Ti, glad you had a fun trip! (Even if it was cold .)

*gasps* The Torch, two weeks since your last ketchup?! Wow.
Glad you enjoyed the GVB song!

Winter! Yes, you do have a ketchup looming. Better get it done soon.

MA!!! You haven't been in here in ages. How are you doing?

That's true, malkah. Bardon was definitely a stuffy, boring character when he was first introduced in Dragonquest, and he definitely changes a lot in the last three books.
It was a twist! I was amazed at little Toopka!

All done! Yippee! So, yeah, we went to the library yesterday. I got The Faerie Path by Flewin Jones and books 3-5 in the Ranger's Apprentice series. So I have plenty of books to read for a while.

Volleyball was lots of fun yesterday. I'm still not very good at it, but I'm enjoying it.

Today we're going to the mall with some friends. I'm looking forward to it. Now I have a report that I need to finish...so mortereve all!

~Lucy

Mortereve all!

NN, I like every aspect of the filmming process, the script writing, casting, directing, costuming, set dressing, editing, SFX, the whole kitten-cabutal. But writing seems like the only thing that I don't need a ton of people around to help me. Hope that answers your question.

QS, ahh, I see. Do you have a lot of younger siblings to help take care of?

flambeau, I'm doing great. *tries to think of something else to say* Sorry, I'm not very conversational today... How are you doin?

*waves back at malkah* No we haven't met, but I've seen some of your posts. (not that I read them I'm always in a hurry here.) yes, I am a Buckeye fan. I actually took that photo that you see gracing my sig. I had the oportunity to go to an Ohio State football game a couple of weeks ago, and I took along my 15X optical zoom camera. Sooo cool! Anyway, do you like football?

Funny how the Square goes slowly on weekends but fast on weekdays. I would have thought it to be the opposite...

And that's my thought for the day.

Good Mortereve everyone! I trust everyone is having a good day. I am, although currently I'm rather cold. >_>

And now for some catchup...

Mel: Thank you! I'll try to remember to send it to you when it's done. *adds Mel to The List*

Fauntastic: I'm glad no one was hurt in the mishap, that would be a frightening thing to have happen!

I'm glad your trip went well, that's great!

Ahhh, okay! For some reason I thought you were in college (probably because I didn't know high schools had Oct. breaks...)

I know how you feel/felt (as you don't feel that way anymore...) for the longest time at parties and such I was always with the "kids" table, even though at that time I was one...but it always kind of bothered me. Now it really doesn't. Maybe because we actually get the regular table and all the adults have to eat with their plates on their laps or something.

Edmund P: That's too bad! I guess you weren't able to figure it out? I think those kinds of problems can be the most frustrating- when you've tried everything you know of that could solve it and it still doesn't work.

I'm glad you were feeling better for a while- even though it started to hurt again and was bad it must of been at least nice to have some days were it felt alright.

Narnia Girl: Ah, yes! I wouldn't mind snow either, even though it is *just* the middle of October. Have you gotten lots of rain?

How is the Redwall going, by the way?

Oh ok, well as long as you don't mind it's ok. A lot of people just don't like quoting. *cough I'm not one of them cough* Anyway, the code is [ quote="So and So" ] [ / quote ] putting apostrophes around the name of the quotee ( ). Kinda annoying but easy to get used to.

Things are going just fine, thanks! How about for you?

Thank you! Hurrah, it worked! (which of course, I knew it would)

I'm pretty good, thanks! Things have been kind of quiet lately, but that's alright.

*sends a huge to ~LL~* Great to see you post here, dear one! Don't worry about not being able to post alot, it's much more important to get your schoolwork and other things in life done then post here! Praying of course!!

Queen Susan: Ah, okay! Now, the next question is, do you like getting lots of snow?

I'm really glad that your time with this other family and the girl went well- that's great! The games sound fun too!

I hope you can go to the party, of course. Hmm. Well, for the past couple days my Mom and sister were out all day at a horse thing- someone who is trained to teach the program we do was in the area, and hosted a clinic (which is basically where some people pay and bring their horses and ride/learn under the instructor, and others, like Mom and Sis, just watch and also learn), so of course they had to go. That left me with my three brothers and Dad, and it was fun! We watched movies over lunch and supper, and all around it was nice. Now the clinic is over, so Mom and Sis are home...but tomorrow they're going out again to another horse friend's farm, and they're taking two of our horses...and I think they're doing that on Friday too, but I'm not sure. So it will be one busy week. I'm kind of glad I'm not going...I doubt I could do well with so much "out" time!

Ruby! I'm sorry your plans were changed, but I am glad you still had a good time.

Don't feel guilty, it's alright! Life has been treating me pretty good these days! And you?

Ella: Good questions! Hmmm. Well, let's just say that unless it gets really cold and wet in the autumn/winter, the books won't fall off. It it does get miserable during those seasons, then of the course the books should come off so they don't get ruined. But, I'm sure the tree would be picked clean first...after all, they are books!

Ah good! Hehe, yes! The kids' stories were rather good, I agree.

Flam: Hurrah! I'm glad you're considering doing NaNo, I'm sure you'll do well!!

I agree about the more quiet days, they are really nice. But I think everyone likes at least a little excitement now and then!

Malkah: Thank you! Hmm, I might be posting it somewhere, although I'm not sure. I'll for sure get it to you somehow though, I think I know of some ways I can upload it and PM it to you, or something like that.

Annnnd I guess that's it! I shall be off! Cheers all!

flam: So--you're graduated. Wow. I don't know why I'm so dumb all the time. I usually assume people are in their teens unless--I know differently. Hopefully you'll take it as a compliment... or something.
And yep. School's going well here.

Kat: I'm eagerly awaiting your Catchup! And thank you so much for your prayers!!! That means a lot to me...

malkah: So far I don't have a synopsis on NaNo other then "A tale of sorrow and joy and..." and that's about it. Though in different words. I really have to write out an outline-ish thing yet. Because... so far I haven't. My preparation is so far pretty much nil.

PON: Yes, I do have "quite" a few younger siblings to take care of. Not tons and tons, but 4. A fair amount I guess. All of them boys. It's fun. Sometimes. And I'm sure you'll know what I mean if you have younger siblings too...

ForeverFan: I like snow OK... depending. Once it rolls around to Feb. and March, I'm well ready for Spring. But the first month or so of snow is usually pretty fun. Living in Canada (Am I right??)...(Sorry if I'm not... I forget exactly if I've heard before) I assume you have snow quite a bit as well? I've been to Canada once--about 5 years ago. Around August... we went to Banf and Jasper. Or however you spell it. I thought it was one place because Dad and Mom always said it together. So--I thought it was "Banfinjasper, Canada"... Hehe.
Anyways, now it'd be rather embarrassing if you didn't live in Canada. Because I've been rambling all about it.
I think I got permission to go to the birthday party! So I'm quite happy--and really excited. It'll be a blast I'm sure. And plans changed and my really good friend will be able to make it--which makes it better. Of course, I love all my friends, but... hm. You probably understand.
Ooh, sounds fun! (Staying home while your Mom and sister were away) I enjoy staying home with my brothers. Of course, doing the horse-thing (if I may so call it that) sounds pretty fun too--but yeah. I know what you mean about maybe not wanting so much "out" time.
So. Yeah.

Talk to you all later!!

Mortereve all! Well, I just got my regular retainer on. Man, it's a ton more annoying than my temporary one. Oh well...

LL!!! Great to see you stop by, but you really must make it more often. I understand busyness keeping you away, though. 3 tests in one week? I had three tests today! But I suppose three tests in highschool is only about the length/difficulty of one test in college.

NN: Snow? We got snow on Oct. 10th, but that's it so far. Today it's about 60 degrees. Yay!!

Yep, it was great! We've gotten in it two days so far.
Yeah, it's 60 degrees here today, too, and I was just outside—what a perfect temperature!

Aiden! How goes all? How are the other two personalities doing? I've been doing rather good myself. And you know Ruby, she's always doing well. I never know what Erubadhriel is up to.

I'm doing quite well, thank you! NN95 is off doing homework, but I'm procrastinating here on NarniaWeb. Double N is peering over my shoulder. Quite disturbing.

Glad to hear Ruby and Erubadhriel are both doing well, too!

Conga-rats on 100 posts, malkah!

I might have to disagree with you there, I prefer the heat! I despise being cold, and I always am cold! But I do love winter clothes. I love wearing jackets and sweaters and scarves!

Yes, well, you live in Arizona, I live in the Northeast—it makes sense that you like it hot and I like it cold. Interestingly, I am not a fan of winter clothes. Now isn't that odd.

Ha! This'll probably be a hoot for you. It covered basic nouns: girl, boy, dog, cat (and the like) and basic nouns: dance, jump, walk, run (and the like)

Ah, that's cool. Good to hear things are progressing, then.

I thought so.
Yup, there are! The Civil War is probably my favorite time period.

Yeah, Civil War and WWII are two very interesting periods to study.

Well, I bought three last week (my sister owned them, so they're on the computer, but we don't have the discs anymore.). So, I'm happy about that!

Ah, that's neat. Any you really like a lot?

Yes, it is.
Yes, I am.
No, you didn't.
No, I didn't.
Get over it.

(Yes, you do! Kidding!)

No, it's not!
Well, you shouldn't!
Yes, I did!
Yes, you did!
Fine.

(lol!)

Yes, I've seen y'alls quoting conversations. Quite impressive!

"Impressive", to quote Darth Vader.

Well, she did! (and I believe she did it all on her own. )

Whee, good for her! Now she needs to post again.

Um, Mr. Grammar Freak, there's a typo in there.

I know, I know, I saw it later but didn't take the time to fix it. Boy, you have point out everything, don't you?

*waves to MissA*

*really loves Lazarus and Firefox in general* I can't believe I went so many years on the sad little browser I had before!
Lazarus is a wonderful thing to have, but I don't think it's not a top priority in terms of needs/things I would donate to. So it did annoy me a bit.

Yes, Firefox is the most amazing browser ever (which, of course, is in part due to all of its great add-ons, such as Lazarus)! What browser were you using before?
Lol, no I would say not.

Oh, I see now, NN95. Thanks for explaining about the iPods.
Haha, yeah. You're usually second post of the day.

No problem!
Yep, I usually am, but certainly not today!

NN, I like every aspect of the filming process, the script writing, casting, directing, costuming, set dressing, editing, SFX, the whole kitten-cabutal. But writing seems like the only thing that I don't need a ton of people around to help me. Hope that answers your question.

Yeah, that makes sense. I have to agree with you that just about every aspect of making of movie is quite enjoyable, though I'm mostly into editing and acting (which you didn't mention ).

Thank you! Hurrah, it worked! (which of course, I knew it would)

I'm pretty good, thanks! Things have been kind of quiet lately, but that's alright.

Yay, it did!

Glad to hear it. On the other hand, things have picked up quite a bit around here.

Well, I'm off. Mort'reve all!

*bounces into the Square, both arms full of binders, textbooks, and loose papers* Mortereve, all! I have time (well... I'm making time for a quick catchup post in-between studying).

Well, today was a fairly good day. I'm looking through my collection of graphics for a new avatar, as I've had this one for quite some time. But it's so nice... *sniffle* I'm not sure I want to change it.

The particular group I heard sing that song, Fanny, was "Kutless".

I now have read Jane Eyre. It was brilliant. A very well written book .

Oh... well, excuse me. Glad you liked it!

W.o.w. That's a long post, Rosa! Anyway, good to see you drop by, and I'm glad that you'll be able to come by for the next two weeks, since there's less homework. What's this testing that you'll be having at school?

*sigh* It took awhile. And... I'm not exactly sure what the testing is. It's basically deciding how well we understand certain subjects, though.

Hehe, that's probably how most orthodontists are. Ooh, so now you have a retainer? How fun... [sarcasm intended] I had two of those several years ago (during my year-long break from braces) and lost them both... one in a trash can, and the other out the car window. *sigh*

Yep, school's going well for me, too. I never knew how much work it took to get A's, though...

Well, I'm actually that way, too. Everyone comes to school in a winter coat, and I'm only wearing a light sweatshirt. But yes, I'm definitely looking forward to winter!

Maybe since you got them on?

Oh... maybe.

Lady L!! I've missed your cheerful appearances in the Square. Aww, hopefully life will slow down a little for you these next few weeks, and you'll be able to relax. It's good to see you again!

Oh, Queen Susan, that stinks...

*sends a back in the direction of Ruby (or are you going by "Dani" now?)* It has been awhile. Sorry to hear your camping trip didn't work out.. but at least you got to visit your friends!

Congratulations on passing your 100th post, malkah!

Ooh, fauntastic, you're not the only one there. I love wearing winter coats, boots, and scarves. It's probably because I happen to really like the ones I have.

Glad you guys had a good camping trip, Tiana! No one was hurt? Wow. Amazing.

*waves to MissAravis* Hey! Good to see you again!

All right... I skimmed a lot, but that's all for now. *sigh* I have two tests tomorrow, and three on Thursday and Friday. So, back to my books.

Mortereve, all! *bounces back out*

Mortereve all of you Square Onions! I hope everyone is well?

I recently found a new way to procrastinate homework! I found the old old TV with a VCR connected to it, and have been watching all of my old Disney VCR tapes! I never realized how funny those movies were, because when I was little I didn't get a lot of the jokes. But now that I'm rewatching these wonderful movies, I am always laughing!

CS, hooray for autumn! Autumn is great. After such a long and hot summer, it's relaxing to get a break and feel a bit chilly for once . I wish I lived in a place where the leaves from trees turned different colors, I think that would make it feel more like fall.

Sounds like a very fun week, QS! I LOVE birthday parties, so hopefully you'll be able to go! Bowling and sleep overs with a bunch of girls...gonna be fun! Might be a bit crazy tho..ahaha And oh my...200-300 GALONS of apple cider?? That's a LOT of cider! I really like apple cider, so send some my way! xD

I'm soo soo glad you enjoyed The Hunger Games, Malkah! Wasn't it just amazing?? Feel free to send me a PM if you wanna talk about it, although you might want to read Catching Fire first, so that way I don't ruin anything for you! And yes, the cliff-hanger is just dreadful! But the characters are so great, even though they have to do horrible things I really feel sorry for them.
And oh yes, right turns seem like a dream compared to left ones!

*waves to NG* I've been keeping busy over here! Homework mostly, and I've just rewatched Hercules and Sleeping Beauty (while doing Chemistry homework)! What have you been up to?

Thank you FF, I'm so grateful everyone was okay! And October break was something they just added this year. It was a well-needed break, and I'm so glad they added it!
Haha, I never even realized, but that's true! The adults always get their plates full of food, then go in the living room and eat off their laps. I always end up spilling when I do things like that, so I'm glad we get the table! ;D

Interestingly, I am not a fan of winter clothes. Now isn't that odd.

That is very interesting, actually! Maybe we like the clothes we wear the least...? But I don't really know what kind of clothes you wear all the time, so I can't say that as a face

Miss Rosario, I'm glad to hear we have something in common! I too really like my winter clothes, and they are just so comfy and warm! I don't own any boots though, I'd love to. But my family doesn't see the use in buying boots when we can only wear them for only a few weeks a year before they become too hot to wear. :/ But I love boots! And scarves! and coats!

Mortereve all!

MA, I saw a license plate on a car yesterday that began with the letters KAT, and it reminded me of you.

pon, how is your book coming?

Yes, FF, we have gotten lots of rain. And when I say lots, I mean lots! It was raining tons last week.
I'm enjoying Redwall so far! I'm about halfway through the book, and it's pretty good.

NN95, you just got your regular retainer? And it's more annoying than your temporary one? I always thought that the temporary retainer was more uncomfortable - it seemed to slide around in my mouth. They were both kinda uncomfortable, though. *shrugs*

Lol, it sounds like you're having fun watching the old Disney movies, Syd! You're right, they are so funny - when I was little I didn't get all the jokes either. I watched the Disney Peter Pan with my siblings a few weeks ago, and I kept cracking up!
Well, I've been reading and practicing the piano a lot lately. And busy with schoolwork, too...

The Torch: I was looking up a word in the dictionary and I saw the word "flambeau" at the top of the page. I was so startled for a minute. I didn't know that the word "flambeau" was in the dictionary.

Yay, I'm done with ketchup... Anyway, yesterday we...what did we do yesterday? Oh, I remember now. We went to the mall with some friends, and we got dinner there and shopped for a while, then my mom and my siblings and I left for church to go to a homeschool meeting there. Besides that, we were at home the rest of the day, doing schoolwork.

Mortereve all!

*sigh* It took awhile. And... I'm not exactly sure what the testing is. It's basically deciding how well we understand certain subjects, though.

Yes, I can imagine! Oh, I see. So you can't really do well or poorly on it—it's just evaluation, eh? I see.

Hehe, that's probably how most orthodontists are. Ooh, so now you have a retainer? How fun... [sarcasm intended] I had two of those several years ago (during my year-long break from braces) and lost them both... one in a trash can, and the other out the car window. *sigh*

I suppose. Yup, I've got a retainer. Man, it's annoying. I really would much rather have braces than a retainer any day.
Ooh, sorry you lost both of yours! Were they expensive to replace?

Yep, school's going well for me, too. I never knew how much work it took to get A's, though...

Good! Yes, one must study to do well in school.

Well, I'm actually that way, too. Everyone comes to school in a winter coat, and I'm only wearing a light sweatshirt. But yes, I'm definitely looking forward to winter!

Aha, so I'm not weird after all. Or we both are.

I wish I lived in a place where the leaves from trees turned different colors, I think that would make it feel more like fall.

Oh yes, that's one of the great things about the area in which I live—all of the beautiful fall colors.

That is very interesting, actually! Maybe we like the clothes we wear the least...? But I don't really know what kind of clothes you wear all the time, so I can't say that as a face

Nope, that's not the case at all, because I wear a short-sleeved shirt every day! I just plain don't like winter clothes.

NN95, you just got your regular retainer? And it's more annoying than your temporary one? I always thought that the temporary retainer was more uncomfortable - it seemed to slide around in my mouth. They were both kinda uncomfortable, though. *shrugs*

Was your temporary retainer a clear type that fit right around each tooth? For me, it wasn't nearly as uncomfortable as my regular retainer because because it took up less room in my mouth. My regular one seems huge and it's so hard to talk without it being slurred and garbly. Ah well, enough complaining.

That's neat that flambeau is a word in the dictionary!

Whee, second post of the day again! Mort'reve all!

Mortereve all!

QS, I know what you mean. When my three younger siblings were younger, they certainly were a handful. But now the youngest is 10. They're growing up so fast...

NN, I left out acting for a reason. Even though I have acted in several of my films, and I do enjoy it, I don't think I'm very good, and also it's a bit difficult to direct yourself. I also am mostly filmming behind the camera, and my fellow filmmakers aren't as good filmming as I am. So my shots are shaky, or not cropped right, or it's zoomed in wrong. *sigh* Yeah, it's difficult to act while telling everyone else how to do your job.
*begins to realize that she's rambling* I love talking about filming.

NG, you mean you're not reading my book. jk, I've finished the fifth chapter, finally! So I'm trying to write a big chunk of the sixth today...probably...hopefully...maybe. Yeah, whatever. I'd love for you to read it and tell me what you think about it.

And the Royal Princess Thought of the Day is... : Dreams tell you more about yourself than you realize.
(if you want the story behind that thought, just ask)
