Mortereve, all! Last week we got several feet of snow, and had a snow day on Thursday. I typed this post up three times, and lost it... so... here we go again.

Ben: That's neat that you play both guitar and piano! Are you taking lessons, or just learning on your own?

Heh, well.... maybe I can find a way to send you a recording of me playing a piece on the violin. We'll see.

Thank you! *bows, or rather attempts to and falls flat on her face*

Oh... um, sure. Perhaps you'd better try curtsying next time?

*decides against "bowing" again*

A very wise decision.

Hehe, Narnia Girl, I like that scene as well. And then,

Abigail: “What led you to assume there's this invisible map?”
Ben: “We found an engraving on the stem of a 200-year-old pipe.”
Riley: “Owned by the Free Masons!”
Abigail: “May I see the pipe?”
Riley: “Uhh… We don't actually have it.”
Abigail: “Did Bigfoot take it?”

Hehe, thanks Djaq. Your posts are always fun to read!

I have thank you. How have you been keeping? And how's winter in Michigan? Heard they expect quite a bit of snow...

I've been doing fairly well, thank you. Yes, it's been... rather cold up here. We got quite a bit of snow Wednesday night, but it's melted down considerably since then.

Good to see you again! Are you still working on your story?

Oh, goodness! That link you posted had me howling! *regains composure*

Cor: That's good to hear! I should try that as well: one post per week (at least). It seems I keep disappearing for... err.... a little more than just one week at a time. *must stop that habit once-and-for-all*

Oh, I really enjoyed your blog! I haven't seen several of those movies, and it was really helpful to read your detailed reviews on them. Thanks!

On quoting my post: For a very good reason, no doubt.

Oh yes, definitely.

About "limping along when it comes to math tests"... heh. I, uh, had two math exams last Wednesday, which did not go well... at ALL. Very, very depressing scores. *sigh* Ah well, it happens.

@ Rose and Djaq about Rose's cat: *No need to fear ladies, I do not eat cats. Besides, they are usually more fur than meat.... like sheep. *

Or slippers.

Heh. You should tell her yourself, Vern. I have a vague feeling she's not going to take my word for it.

*waves to Miss Betsie*

Oof, Miss Rosario. I begin to think that all I do is 43 page catchup posts.

I was beginning to think that as well. Heh, you're much braver than I.

Conga-rats on the 1,700th post, Ben! (Though you seem to be far past that number by now.)

*listens to Phantom of the Opera and decides to leave the Square for a bit now* "But think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye! Remember me, once in a while, please promise me you'll try!"

Rest assured that we will.

Hehe, congrats on finding the "perfect" hoodie!

Oof, and I've missed Nick's birthday! My, oh my. *scampers off to send a birthday PM* It's been great knowing you, and I hope you have a wonderful non-chocolatey birthday!

Hello, flambeau! (Random question... what is the "Manalive Secret Society"? )

Aww, your novel sounds like a good story (though sad in the end). *wants to read it now...*

Niagara Falls is an awesome place. If you do ever go there, be sure to look for this particularly amusing landmark.

Hehe... I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Wow, ILoveFauns, congrats on getting all those A's and A+'s!

It's a very fun tradition, though!

Oh, yes! Definitely!

Humph. No need to brag.

Oh, well excuse me. I'd love to send some your way, though, if we could concoct some big snow transportation truck!

Hehe, I heard several years ago about this guy who really wanted snow. So, he went and bought a snow machine, set it up in his yard, and... had a white Christmas. Rather ridiculous, but entertaining all the same.

*waves to Ata* It sounds like you've been busy. Good to see you again!

And, that's all for now. Mortereve, all!

*Walks into the square very stiffly* i slept on my back weird and now its acting up.... Hopefully by later on today it will be fine......

Hey Everyone! how are you all?????

Ben: That's neat that you play both guitar and piano! Are you taking lessons, or just learning on your own?

Heh, well.... maybe I can find a way to send you a recording of me playing a piece on the violin. We'll see.

Conga-rats on the 1,700th post, Ben! (Though you seem to be far past that number by now.)

I don't take lessons right now I,m learning on my own but hopefully I will be able to get lessons for piano...... Yeah that would be cool! I would love to hear it!

Thanks Yeah I,m about to be on the 1800th mark........

I,m off now

~Benjamin

pogginfan!!! *hugs* Good to see you on the square again!! Missed you lots! How has everything been going?

Aw, thanks! I've been doing excellently! Today was a church picnic, it was lots of fun. How've you been? Do you get a Christmas break from school soon?

*returns the Wave to Pogginfan* How are you?

Very well, thank you. How've you been?

*waves back at pogginfan* Good to see you!

Thank you! How have you been lately?

*waves back to poggy* I've missed you! Glad you're back again!

Thanks! And how have you been?

i slept on my back weird and now its acting up.... Hopefully by later on today it will be fine......

Aww, I hate it when that happens. It makes me feel old. I hope you're feeling better!

*Runs into the square then remembers that his back is supposed to be hurting so he stops* Ok one catchup post

i slept on my back weird and now its acting up.... Hopefully by later on today it will be fine......

Aww, I hate it when that happens. It makes me feel old. I hope you're feeling better!

Yeah it is thanks! Usually i can pop it bu t**s in my lower so its harder but its doing a lot better now!

*Walks out of the square heading for the Narnian graphics to post a couple Narnian ones*

That's cool, Ben. I took piano lessons for around five years, but stopped when I started school this year. And yes, I'll see if I can make that recording happen. No promises though.

Oof, and now you're at 1,802 posts! Wow. I'm--*counts*---exactly fifty nine posts away from 2,000. (Or was while typing this post.) I haven't been posting around the forum much, lately. Last Christmas I reached 1,000.

*waveth to Poggy* Hello, there!

I'll be around for a little while. I think we're watching a movie tonight.

That's cool, Ben. I took piano lessons for around five years, but stopped when I started school this year. And yes, I'll see if I can make that recording happen. No promises though.

Oh cool! how many instruments do you play?
Oh goody! hopefully you can make it happen [/color

Well I,m going to head over to Games and blogs to see whats happening there and also chat with some people on the chat....

*pops in and waves to Benjamin, RubyGamgee, Fanny, Flambeau, Narnia Girl, and Pogginfan*

Mortereve, all!

RubyGamgee: I believe you're right; nice to met you!

Fanny: Hello, dear! (as my great-great-grandmother used to say, the feeling's 'mucilage'! ) Life's been very well! I recently got a Canon Rebel Xsi, so I'm very excited to begin my adventures in photography; I also got to drive a lot today (in practice for my license) with my mom after church, and it was a very misty-rainy, FOGGY day. A little un-nerving at times, but overall very enjoyable! And the message in Church this morning was very inspiring! How about you?

Narnia Girl: I'm doing wonderful, thank you! And how about yourself? (I'm so glad your cold is getting better! )

Poggy: Poggy! How are you? (I have to get off now, so I'll have to reply to your PM next time I get on. )

Oh, if any of you wouldn't mind, prayers for my younger sister would be very much appreciated; this week is FULL of finals at school, and she's very stressed out about them, as well as battling some sort of respiratory-thing (she lost her voice yesterday, and had a frog in her throat today!)

Random question: (for anyone who cares to answer) What are your top 3 Christmas carols? (bonus points if you list the specific renditions )

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

EDIT: Oh, just thought I'd add a little note: Fanny, Avra, and I (at least I think we three ) are starting a writing group called 'The Wordsmiths' - if any of you are interested, you can read more about it here.
*Goes off humming Chloe Agnew's 'Walking in the Air' before heading to bed...*

Top 3 Christmas Carols:

3. Joy to the World - Well, okay, this technically isn't a Christmas carol, being originally written to describe the Second Coming, but since it has since been associated with the holiday, I'm counting it. This song has a great sense of energy to it. For added effect, mix it with the chorus of the Three Dog Night version.

2. Angels We Have Heard On High - I just love the "Gloooo-o-o-o-o-oooo-o-o-o-o-oooo-o-o-o-o-ooor-ia... in excelsis Deo" chorus of this song.

1. Do You Hear What I Hear? - The chain from wind to lamb to boy to king is cool. Granted, said king would later try to kill the child he claims will bring goodness and light to all, but... oh well, it's still a cool song.

Hey ho! How is Square Life? I haven't had such a whoopy day, but "It certainly hasn't affected my tongue!" I was really hoping to put our Christmas tree up today, but other things got in the way and now our house is still un-Christmasfied on the inside and the days 'til Christmas are far less numerous than they once were. I think we're going to run out of time.

Now for some catch-up:

Edmund P: Hey, cool, I watched your latest vid, and as usual, liked it very well! The end made me and my sister laugh heartily. Yes indeed, I've been keeping really busy. And this week is going to be busier than ever, I think! Oh yes, definitely, "view halloo Christmas Break"!! Mmhm, I forgot to add "Narniaweb, writing, and decorating" to the list. Ah well. Say, did I see something about you doing NaNo this year? I think that's cool! I did it too, and am quite happy with the taste of success.

Fanny, wow, you're part British and Polish? How I wish I were in your shoes! But, since I am not, I can only say that I am doing "fairly well". Why, that's right, besides, young ladies never dash, we hasten, and did you further know that we are never late either? Everyone else is simply early! I'm glad to hear you're well. Is there a special secret to your alive and wellness? My secret is:

Cor! *curtsies and extends hand* Yes, yes, it is I. Yeah, your posts have been longer these days. Quite the substance.

Yes, we're going to a ball. Probably an all-nighter too. We'll ring in the year 2010 with swing-dancing, big-band music, and genuine Christian fellowship. That's what kind of ball it is. And just like in all the fairy-tales, something significant will happen at midnight: a new year will come!

NarniaGirl, yeah, and we feel REAL unfortunate for being homeschooled don't we? Haha, Just KIDDING, because it's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. How neat, I'm sure you were a beautiful and radiant angel! Lissa will be the angel, because she has this fantastic angel costume. Your Christmas plans sound great! Have a very Merry one!
Yes, NaNo did that much good for me. You should do it! It isn't that hard, as long as you have faith in yourself.
Yes, the Zion Covenant series is very good. They're extremely intense, though. They brought me to tears, near stomach-sickness, and also to everlasting joy.

Heya Ruby! *Hugs back!* Yes ma'am, I do, and this particular candle store is really cool. Not your normal craft-store. The candles are all made at the owner's home, (just over the hill from us actually, so we've helped pour candles) and they make specialty candles and scents with decorative wax "toppings". (mini blueberries on the blueberry candles, apples on the apple, almonds on the almond, a clothes-pin on the Linen scent, etc) Ditto about babysitting! I'm looking forward to not doing it as my "job".

Woohoo on final tests, Ruby! I wrote two research papers this week; it was so much fun, because I dearly love researching loads of topics. Good luck on your Biology exam! I hope you enjoy your Christmas break immensely! Have a tremendous time with your sister and her family!!
Yes, everything has been progressing all right. Rapidly, for sure, although also very draggingly, since what I am waiting for (Christmas and New years) seems forever in the future. Odd how that works.

*really misses Lady Liln* Anyone seen or heard from her? Oh Lady Liln, come back at least to say hi!

Pogginfan: What a beautiful avatar; it reminds me of some dreams I've had. I'm doing fine, thanks! You? Oh thanks! My avatar is from the movie "The Importance of Being Earnest". The girl is Cecily, who was always imagining fanciful things (like I am, haha) that made her look like she was in a dream-world, like the blueish cascading color behind her.

*waves to RileyTea and Ben*

Miss Rosario, dear! LOL, "my heart can rest assured", because "I can take you at your word" that you'll remember me. Haha! Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are too kind. Tooooo kind. Thanks, I can't wait for the hoodie to arrive; "I've been good, but I can't last, so hurry, UPS, don't be late!"

Well, now I should go away. I have "Ever After" in my head, and it makes me want to dance!

Good-bye, one and all!
~Jojo~

*Cor enters the Square accompanied by his dragon friend and takes his seat at the fountain. Vern takes up his usual spot near the fountain as well*

Mortereve all! Well, I managed to squeeze in two posts this weekend. I'm really excited about next week..... Christmas break starts when I finish school on Friday!!!!

*You're overdoing it again.....*

Sorry Vern.... Anyway, onward to catching-up!

----------------------

@ Lucy. Actually, I think snow just hates our little part of the state we're in. A few years ago the counties around us got snow, but we only got a slight dusting. Of course, tornadoes also seem to hate our little area, so I guess it's a good thing..... maybe.

@ Ruby. Lovely avatar there!

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it or not, but it's always fun to read your joint posts with Winter. I think you two have too much fun with those things....

@ PogginFan. Glad to have you back around! How is life Post-NaNo?

*waves to RileyTea* I'm not sure if we've met or not.... anyway, I'm Cor and this is Vern. *points to the rather large---ish dragon laying down beside him*

*Greetings and well met, Miss RileyTea! *

@ Fanny. It's easy to remember but a pain to get the lyrics correct. Especially if you have not seen it in a while.... *raises guilty hand* I think that one is simply called "Just You Wait". I always thought that bit was a little much myself.... kinda creepy to me.

Another good song is "I've grown accustomed to Her Face". Well, just edit out the cursing at the beginning of the song.... Oh fine! Let's just admit the obvious... ALL the songs in the film are great!

Ah, good! Glad to hear that. We always like to see our extended family, though certain members are only fun to be around in small doses....

@ Flam. MmmHmm, and now we can continue our game!

"I get that a lot....." ~ A quote from any number of movies in any number of genres.

*waves to Ata and Stadf*

@ Rose. It's a good way of making sure you don't have a flood of stuff to respond too. Of course, even making a post once-a-week gives you a ton of substance.

Yay! Glad you enjoyed it so much! So far all the feedback I'm getting about the blog is good, so I guess I'm doing something right.

Um, yeah well.... er.... *nervous look* I wont say what my scores have been lately. At least highschool is nearing it's end..... *sigh*

*Oh, very well. Where is she, by the way?*

*Cor begins to hum some of the BTTF theme*

@ Jojo. *kisses extended hand and smiles* As it is I, aye. MmmHmm, and all of this is simply from posting once a week.

Sounds lovely! Never been to a Ball of any sort, but that sounds like an excellent one to go to. Hope you have a simply marvelous time! *Psst! Pics posted on FB of the Ball would be nice.... *

---------------------------

Alright, that does it for me tonight! I should probably head off to bed now, seeing as how it is after 11:00 here and school is tomorrow....

Goodnight all and may everyone have a pleasant night and a good week this upcoming week!

*Cor and Vern exit the Square with the Prince humming bits of "Once Upon a Time in the West".*

*scurries into the Square* Mortereve all! Well, I'm in a hurry today because I have TONS of schoolwork to get done, so I'll hurry through this ketchup as fast as possible.

"Did Bigfoot take it?" LOL, Miss Rose, I love that quote too! Abigail is so awesome!
Have you seen National Treasure 2? Our library has it...I'm checking it out as soon as I get a chance.

I've been doing pretty well, pogginfan! I'm going to be very, very busy with school this week...I can't wait till next week - Christmas break! How have you been?

I'm doing pretty good, thanks, Riley! My cold is much better today.
I'll be praying for your sister!
And as for top 3 Christmas carols:
1. O Holy Night.
2. Mary, Did You Know?
3. Angels We Have Heard On High.

Jojo, that's true, being homeschooled is awesome, even if we don't get snow days! Lol.
Ooh, Lissa's gonna be the angel? How exciting! It's lots of fun. I love wearing the angel costume - it's all soft and white.
But writing a novel in a month? I can't write a novel in a year, much less a month. Still...if I really spent lots of time on writing, I could probably get it done.
Have you ever read the Dragons in Our Midst series by Bryan Davis? They're really great books, they're full of adventure and excitement, and I absolutely loved them.

PrinceCor, I would consider that a good thing that tornadoes hate your little area. Fortunately, we never get tornadoes where we live either...lol, but we've had tons of rain this fall. I mean tons...

~Lucy

Mortereve all! Yay, we got a ton of snow a couple days ago! Sorry I haven't been around in a while. Things have been busy lately!

Ah, glad to hear it! There's always something so, well, tempting, I guess, about having a new Season of a favourite television show, it always makes me want to watch as many episodes as possible to see what happens next, eh? We're almost done Season 3, we have one last episode on Disc 3, I think, then all of Disc 4. It's been such a fun ride.

Definitely. I agree.
Ah, sounds good. Let me know when you finish.
BTW, do you ever get the feeling that the episodes end very abruptly and don't have a finished feel to them?

How fun! We are supposed to get snow tomorrow, but I don't think that we will. Rain (or sleet) = The South's version of snow.

Aw, I hope you did end up getting some! I feel bad for the people in the South (or similar places) that don't get much if any snow.

Well, at least you vaguely remember. (You might remember me more as, like, "Jack" or "Riley" )

Yes, vaguely. (Ooh, now that rings a bell... )

No worries. Sounds good to me; I did that on my really long Riley line.
"Well if Ian...the Preservation...the gala...huh...this might be possible."
Mmm hmm.

Whew!
"It might."

"Do you really think that mere force will deny me my right, little king?" LWW. That kind of fits, right? (It works. )
Do you have any idea how long we've been doing this? It's been awhile, I know, but I don't really remember when we started.

"Why not?" In due Season. Sorry for the kinda lame quotes lately.
I don't know, but you're right; it has been quite a long time.

"Oh! Your majesty, with the greatest respect, I do believe courteous, courageous or chivalrous might more befit a knight of Narnia."

"Well, at least we know some of you can handle a blade."

I thought that it had been too long since I did one.

It had! I'm glad you decided to do it!

How have you been lately? Did you have a good Thanksgiving?

Quite well, thank you. Yes, I had a great Thanksgiving.

Actually, for once we are. My grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary is just after Christmas so we're gonna go and celebrate Christmas, and then their anniversary with them and my cousins. You?
(Never! )

Oh, that's great! I hope you all have a good time.
Nope, we're not doing much out of the ordinary.
(I figured as much... )

lol, I kind of thought of that so you wouldn't kill me. Or throw it at me.

No, I wouldn't do that! It wasn't your fault I got a pink diary. If I were going to throw it at anyone, it would be Santa.

*waves to Bennett*

NN95, I haven't seen National Treasure 2 yet, but our library has it and I'm going to check it out as soon as possible. Have you seen it? Is it good?

Great! Yeah, it's every bit as good as the first one. Some parts are better. If you liked the first, you'll definitely like the second, too. And, speaking of which, they're making a third.

*waves to Balustrade the First* Have you ever noticed that all of our conversations are dead-ends or arguments?

Lol, no I hadn't noticed that. That's either a sign of very sophisticated minds which like to debate and never concede their arguments... or a sign that we're both stubborn...

*Waves back* Hey, NN95! I haven't spoken to you in weeks. So, how've been ?

Hullo! You're right, it has been a while. I've been great, thanks! You?

Nutty...thanks, it was good to stop by! ;] For a while, now, however, I'll be sliding by, since it's all icy outside. Howth life, for my fellow kindergartner?

Aw, ice is no fun. After the snow we got, we had some rain that turned into ice, so it's icy here, too. Anyway, life are good for I. Thankyou. And you?

Firstly, I'd like to wish Nutty a VERY happy birthday!!!!!! I truly hope that you are having a truly great day...truly!! (did I use "truly" too much?)

Thank you!! I did have a truly great day!

What's this? It's Nutty's birthday? Well, by all means, Nutty, my friend, do forgive my previous ignorance to this fact and allow me to wish you a very happy day now! May it be HAPPIFIED to the max, and may your cake be deliciously non-chocolate. (if that is possible...) It's been great to know you. You're a pal!

Thank you, too!! Aw, you're forgiven. I, too, always find out it's someone's birthday because someone else wished them a happy birthday. Happified to the max, eh? Thanks, it was. And, yes, I has a deliciously non-chocolate cake (which is quite possible). It's been great to know you, too.

Aaaand, I do believe that today is your birthday! Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a good one!

Thank you very much! I did have a good one.

Um... I can't really remember. It's been so long since I posted that, I can't remember what ones I was talking about!

Lol, no problem.

Says you!
No, you didn't!
No, I didn't!
Good!

I'm right.
Yes, I did!
Yes, you did!
Yes, good.
I don't have any clue what we were talking about.

Firstly! allow me to send a very, very, happy birthday wish to NN95!

Thank you much!

And before I forget........... HAPPY BIRTHDAY NN!!!!!!! May you have many more and the hair on your toes never fall out! (Hobbit line there. Not meant to infer that you have hairy feet....)

Thank you, very much! Umm, and thanks for the good wishes about my the hair on my toes, too....

Aiden! Did I miss your birthday? I'm sorry. Did you have a good one?

No need to be sorry. Yeah, I had a great day!

*waves to Nutty* Happy, happy birthday!!! Slightly belated...but you had an excellent birthday, I hope?

Thank you! I did indeed! Belated is fine.

Oh, my brother's 12th b-day was yesterday! Woot!

That's funny, someone I know turned had his 12th birthday that same day.

NN95 had a birthday? I can't believe I missed that! Well, happy belated birthday! Hope you had a fantastic day!

I did! Don't worry, I miss birthdays all the time! Thanks! I did have a fantastic day!

Oof, and I've missed Nick's birthday! My, oh my. *scampers off to send a birthday PM* It's been great knowing you, and I hope you have a wonderful non-chocolatey birthday!

Not a problem. It's been great knowing you, too! I did have a non-chocolatey birthday, I assure you.

Wow, I do believe I got the most birthday wishes I ever have on NarniaWeb! And... 7 PMs?!?! I think the most I've ever had before is 2. Thank you all so much!

Whew, that was a lot of skimming! Well, I shall be off. Mortereve all!

*Walks in with a pep in her step as Christmas break quickly approaches*

@Benny Ooh, you can pop your back? I never could. I'm glad you're feeling better! You don't mind me calling you 'Benny', do you?

*waves back to Rose* I love your new avatar! Very Christmas-y.

Poggy: Poggy! How are you? (I have to get off now, so I'll have to reply to your PM next time I get on. )

I'm quite well! Just finishing up an essay. How're you?
Okay! Do take your time.
I love the 'Wordsmiths' idea. I've always wanted to be in an Inkling sort of group...may I possibly join?
I'm praying for your sister! Finals are so stressful.

*Exits to finish her essay*
@Jojo Thank you! I'm doing quite well myself. Ah, 'The Importance of Being Earnest". My friend keeps telling me I need to read that play/watch the movie. Heh, 'imagining fanciful things' sounds an awful lot like me, too.

I have "Ever After" in my head, and it makes me want to dance!

The movie? If so, is it a good movie? Because my mom randomly bought it at the library for me for 50 cents because it looked medieval, and I love medieval stuff/fairytales. But the cover is slightly freaking me out. Do you like it?

Glad to have you back around! How is life Post-NaNo?

Thank you! I actually still haven't finished my novel. I made it to the goal in November, but now I've kind of lost my inspiration. I'm going to make sure I finish writing it before the new year, though. Then there's editing... How have you been?

@Lucy I've been doing well. But like you, busy with school and anticipating break!

I'm glad you had a good birthday, Nutty!

*Goes to finish her essay*

*Runs into the square* Yay my back is better! whoot whoot!

Good Mortereve all! how are you all doing???

Catchup post...........

*Walks in with a pep in her step as Christmas break quickly approaches*

@Benny Ooh, you can pop your back? I never could. I'm glad you're feeling better! You don't mind me calling you 'Benny', do you?

Yeah I can i just learned how i can do it by myself Today i can hardly tell that there was anything wrong with my back!
Oh no i don't mind at all!
Lol I love your Siggy! its too true!

*Runs over to the Games and blogs tread to see if anyone has posted recently*
See you all later ( I mean talk )

~Benjamin

Good mortereve all!!

A HUGE HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes to WinterStar!!!! I hope that you have been having a GREAT day!!!

Yes, the yellow smiles are so much warmer and friendly, somehow inviting a jovial conversation to take place, in my opinion. I think the blue ones look cold, sickly, and/or rather frightful. But that's just me.

It's not "just you"; I completely agree. You have such a way with words that I think I'll just let you describe something and then simply agree.

Yeah!! How about a third time?? I love pickups! Also, I really want one. There was a really snazzy navy Silverado in the parking lot of the car-wash where we worked fireworks last summer, and it sat across the yard from me, shining and glistening in the sun, inviting me to take a look, get inside...check the price. And that is when I dejectedly went away with the resignation on my lips that I couldn't afford such super-delightfulness.

Ooh, "third time's a charm". Aww, that can be depressing. My Dad looked at sooo many trucks before he found the Tundra (and bought it that same night). It's a really pretty truck!

You know what's another really good song? "End of the Beginning" by David Phelps, as well as "You Are Loved" by Josh Groban. =] AND "Day Three" by Lordsong is purely wonderful.

I've heard "End of the Beginning" and it is pretty. "You Are Loved" is one of my very favoritest songs! It's so lovely and Josh's voice compliments it really well! I think that I've only heard "Day Three" once or twice (not three times, yet ), but I'll listen to it again. =]

I don't think it's too light at all. In fact, it's very peaceful looking. Sometimes I just need to see something peaceful like that and my hyper-thoughts settle a bit. Thanks!

I'm glad that I could help in some way. That may be the first time that I've ever helped someone not be hyper...

BTW, guys, congratulate me and be happy for me because: I ordered a hoodie the other day!! It's my first hoodie; I've never found a cute one that I liked and that fit me, or my budget. So yes, this has been random.

Congratulations! I am very happy for you! Hoodies are really nice (and usually warm). Is it more of a "tomboy" fit, or slightly fitted (or can you even tell yet?)?

D'aww, thanks! Yours is pretty cool as well! Your MC is quite interesting!

"You're welcome, Mr. Dickens." Hah! She's a little odd, so I guess that makes her interesting.

"But it feels like I'm home again..."

"...there's no place to hide..."

What, is that a requirement, or something?
*sighs* I'll try.

Yes, you are supposed to be nice!

I'm glad you approve!

Why wouldn't I approve?! It's one of my favorite songs.

@ Kat, conga rats on Jon Foreman mentioning your cover of 'Your Love is a Song'! I absolutely love your cover of it! It's awesome!

I can vouch for that; she listens to it all the time!

*exits the Square to go eat supper with visions of sugarplums and sounds of We Are One Tonight floating through her head*

(Do I need to do this again? ) !!

Yeah. . . you must be busy then?

Well, I said "events", but I didn't really mean actual events, I meant more like when certain people would be where, when my sister has her twins and how my Grandma is doing. I am fairly busy, though. How about your Christmas plans?

Ah, good to hear it! I shall be praying for you as you play on Sundays- I'm glad you've got an opportunity to use your talents and stuff, that must be exciting! *gives a hug* I hope your sister is well, of course! Any updates?

Thank you very much for your prayers! I'm getting more used to playing in front of people, so it's getting better.
My sister is doing very well, still! She hasn't had the babies yet, but she's doing good.

*Psst! It's "Bennett". Two t's. * Yeah, I kept wanting to say "D-jack" instead of "Jack".

Oh, dear. I guess that I didn't proof-read that part very thoroughly. It's fixed now, Bennett.
That's what most people have said about it. I almost used the user name "Will Scarlett", which would have been easier to pronounce, but it's also a guy name, and I wanted something that was actually a girl character (even if Djaq was pretending to be her brother ). I suppose I could have been "Wilma Scarlett" (just kidding).

All day today it's been in the low 40's and is suppose to stay this way over the weekend.

It got up in the 50's over the weekend. It's supposed to get colder later this week sometime (I think), and I hope it does (I like cold weather ). I hope that you get some snow this year.

*Not anymore..... *

True. I suppose that you'd have to try at least one to know that you didn't like them.

Ah, trucks. Trucks are definitely cool.

Yes, indeed! Do you have a favorite kind of truck?
Lol! That's a great picture of someone that definitely needed to get a truck!

Djaq, is National Treasure 2 good as well? I was thinking about checking it out at the library...

Yes, I like the second one as well. It's good!

That would be most entertaining if you could.

I will see what I can do.

How fun! I wish I could hear you play...

It has been rather fun. It's a little nerve wracking to play in front of a lot of people, but I'm getting used to it.
I have some of my songs recorded and I've asked my parents if I can put them on YouTube, but I haven't really gotten an answer yet. I'll let you know if I can put them up.

Everyone's getting snow but me!

You're not completely alone; I'm not getting any either. We'll both be snow-less together.

*waves back to Poggin* Great to see you here!

*waves to RileyTea* Hello!

*departs whilst singing the chorus of Second Second Chance*

*squeals*!! Cute song!

*waves at Ata*

I'd love to send some your way, though, if we could concoct some big snow transportation truck!

Can I get in line for snow?

Random question: (for anyone who cares to answer) What are your top 3 Christmas carols? (bonus points if you list the specific renditions )

Hmm, top 3?
1: "Carol of the Bells" by David Foster.
2: "Joy to the World" (pretty much any version)
3: ... "Do You Hear What I Hear?"
I think...Those are the ones that are coming to my mind right now, so they're my favorites for now.

*Goes off humming Chloe Agnew's 'Walking in the Air' before heading to bed...*

I just listened to that. It's a really pretty song!

Aw, I hope you did end up getting some! I feel bad for the people in the South (or similar places) that don't get much if any snow.

We had some snowflakes, but nothing stuck. Oh well. Maybe later this month we'll get some.

Yes, vaguely. (Ooh, now that rings a bell... )

Whatever. (At least something does. )

Whew!
"It might."

Do we want to go on with the whole sequence, or just stop here and do another scene? It's your call.

"Why not?" In due Season. Sorry for the kinda lame quotes lately.
I don't know, but you're right; it has been quite a long time.

"I don't know, just pay! Now stop whining, and just take it like a man!" Night at the Museum. Your quotes have been fine.
*is crazy enough to go back to the Old Forum and look to find out* ...I'll edit it in if I find it.
EDIT: I found it! I had to look through a great many pages first, but I found when we started. Here is where you first use a quote, and I reply here. Well, there you go.

"Well, at least we know some of you can handle a blade."

"Yes, indeed. And, I've recently put it to good use securing weapons for your army, sire."

It had! I'm glad you decided to do it!

Thanks!

Quite well, thank you. Yes, I had a great Thanksgiving.

I'm glad to hear it.

Thank you!! I did have a truly great day!

Good!

I'm off for now. Good mort'reve all!
