The Topic of Great Randomness

[Zgirl]

Nobody knows what doubles are unless you've done chat in the old chat with me. Everytime I typed a word my keyboard would mess up and post the word twice. It was very annoying. And now that doesn't happen in the new chat.

Yes, I am Eowen. That's cool! What happened to the fairy, btw. She just came in, we made her part of the story, and hasen' shown up in days!

I am leaving on vacation tommorow morning. I will be gone for 11 days. I DO NOT want to come back and see the togr....... Well, bye guys. *huggles all*

Question: Instead of meeting in AIM and MSN chats why can't you guys just go to the YW one?

Ermm... because it doesn't work for a lot of us and it has glitches.

What, only 23? I have 195! 58 from YW.net alone. Though about half the screennames I've forgotten who they belong to. And Buck Whiley has half a billion screennames. *rolls eyes* Some people...

My screenname is IzzaGryphon!

Chani:
*sigh* it should be severson14@cox.net So, if that is what you have, then I am okay. If not, could you please change it.

Urp. Stupid Avidgamers won't let me see the e-mail addresses. That annoys me so much because a lot of people don't get their passwords because they put in the wrong e-mail address of mispelled it, ect. And I have no way of knowing. What you could do is say you lost the password for whatever e-mail you ut in. If that doesn't work, I could make you an account with that e-mail address. Just... I hope you saved your profile somewhere. If you know what e-mail address you used, you'd have your profile sent back to you.

nitafan:
Calliope, you are on the desert on Gryphs VGDawn? So am I! Who are you?

Astraea. But Calliope answered that already. You're Eowen, right? I could remember who's who for everyone if they said who they were. The majority of people are from YW.net anyway.

Calliope:
Doubles? As in people in the chatroom?

I thought doubles were funny and that you were doing them on purpose. Ddoouubblleess. Hheehhee.

Ella:
ANYway...I just finished The Sight, by David Clement-Davies, which was a long, dark fantasy but moved faster than I thought it would. It's about wolves and a strange power called the Sight. It also has some valuable lessons at the end...good overall. But long.

I loathed the Sight! But then, it could've been because I had just finished Firebringer, same author, and the plots sounded nearly the exact same. And just about everything else, though it wasn't.

Really? It looked like it was doubled letter by lleetttteerr.

[nitafan211]

Okay, Gryphs post got to the screen before mine did, so look at my post before her's! Sorry, Gryph.

[Gryphon]

I'm taking karate now. My mom signed up for it yesterday. We sat and watched the class yesterday also. Then right afterwards my mom put me down for the class today. Ack! But then I honestly didn't feel well... I have my gi, but no belt. I'm not even a white belt! *whines* I'm a nothing. But heh, I'm supposed to get my white belt after three lessons, I think. After that you have to earn your belts.

You guys have parental controls? I'm lucky, I have absolutely NO parental controls. Not on the Television, radio or anything.

I'm scared , I think that my friend is developing an eating disorder or something, I don't know what's going on with her. She rarely eats lunch at school, and when she came to my house, she didn't eat. Or maybe she ate already, maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions, but I don't know what to do.

[EWizard11]

vegan_chick: TALK TO AN ADULT. Eating disorders are scary. Watch for other warning signs. Does she think she's fat, but really is not? Is she always looking in the mirror? Does she wear baggy clothes because she thinks that's all looks good on her? Does she talk about dieting constantly? You might want to try to bring up the subject in a general way: say, you're in health class talking about eating disorders and you start up a conversation. "Sounds really dangerous," you say, et cetera.

If these signs show, she looks unhealthy and seems to be losing a lot of weight, TALK TO AN ADULT! Do that even when you suspect something! If it comes to a confrontation make it clear you were really worried about her. If it is an eating disorder stand by her side. Good luck, and I hope that's not what it is. *is distressed*

Gryphon: You didn't like The Sight? I don't think I'm gonna read Fire Bringer. I have a lot of other things to read right now. Plots were almost the same? Hmm...that's kind of what I thought when I read Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons...you know...secret brotherhood stuff...etc. etc.

Oh crap...my sister gets to read HP6 first when it comes out, and of course I'm feeling jealous, even though I know it's absolutely and completely fair and I shouldn't grudge her it, just wait the week or so it'll take her to finish it. *moan* I've read all the other ones first....NO SYMPATHY PLEASE. Trying to get over jealousy *struggles*

Parental controls? I don't really have any. I never go on sites with...uh...questionable material, so I have full web access. Because, for some weird reason, when I have access that blocked out 'all but the most explicit' stuff, I couldn't come on here. And of course we're not explicit...can't explain it. Sympathy to those of you with prying parents. My mom asks me what I'm doing and I say I'm on message boards for a book series.

EDIT: Well, it's a start.
But too many of the bill's opponents oppose it becaue they don't want to amend the constitution or they don't think it's an important issue. *growls* This gets me so angry...that's what the rant/essay in my blog is about...*not starting, not starting, not starting...*

[Zgirl]

Those are good tips Ella. I've never met anyone who was anorexic before...Did you know that animals can be anorexic? (I found that in a book about leopard geckos.) I have a leopard gecko.

I love those long posts Chani and Gryphon and Ella do. I wish I could make long posts like that but...I have nothing to say.
GRYPHON! Karate is cool. I used to watch my little brothers lessons, (kick butt!) My friend was 2 belts away from a blackbelt when she quit. But she taught me a few things so...watch out. *Does fake Jackie Chan moves and falls.*

[Birdhead]

*concurs heartily* I agree with Ella: if you're concerned, talk to an adult. If you're wrong, then she'll be mad and you'll be embarassed. But if you're right, it's worth it. Also, and I realise this is a predictable answer, there are books. *rolls eyes* my solution to everything, but I've found books to really help with some stuff- your school library should have them, but may not. Or you could talk to your school nurse, or counsellor, or health teacher.

Er, hope that helps...

Oh, and Ella, go ahead and start, I'll help you out. thank goodness it didn't pass.

Well, I always used to wear baggy clothes because I hated how I looked in normal clothes, and then it just to the the point where I was like "... Right. Tight shirts=discomfort and can't move. Forget it." And I don't eat much.... but then, that's just me. Why I know I'm not at risk for anorexia or bulimia...

Anorexia- What? Not eating? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!! FOOD TASTES GOOD! Heck, if I had to choose between food and boys, I'd take food. Food isn't tempermental. Food doesn't care what the heck you look like. Food is ALWAYS comforting. Boys get mad at you. Food doesn't. Yup. I'd definitely choose food.

Bulimia- What? Make myself puke? Heck, throwing up is bad enough when you're sick, I mean, first of all it's GROSS, and secondly, you can never get enough air when you're puking, and it's just.... Ew. I hate puking in the first place, why would I make myself do it? I mean.... It's like going to the school bully and offering to be a punching bag!

Just keep an eye on her. ^^ That's what I do to my friends who are suicidal.

Did you know there are actually people that are PRO anorexia and bulimia? They're weird.

[vegan_chick]

I like to read about eating disorders and stuff like that, but I never thought something like that would happen to anyone I knew.

Yeah, you don't really understand eating disorders until you experience them. She doesn't show any of those signs, she just skips meals a lot and I am afraid that she is starting an eating disorder, I'm just hoping it won't escalate I'll just keep an eye on her.

Bulimia (I nicknamed it scarf-n- barf) is scary, I think that it is scarier than anorexia. But you don't always puke, sometimes people take laxatives.

I should get off of the computer now, it's storming outside.

Excersice it's better.

[Agent M]

Easy for you to say, you don't have to do an hour of it everyday and get nagged about excersizing 24/7...

[crookedfrog21]

Well, you have got to have mad determination to lose weight by excersizing (or a good metabolism) so I can understand why those people would resort to that.I hate it, I think it is wrong and those people need help, I don't agree with it, but I can understand. Not the suicidle people, becaus eone thing I hate above all others is when someone is selfish, and suicide is the ultimate act of selfishness.

[Birdhead]

I just HAVE to say this. THERE'S No 'C' IN EXERCISE!

Oh, help, yes there is. Okay. rephrase.
THERE'S ONLY ONE C In EXERCISE AND IT DOES NOT COME AFTER THE X!!!!

Thank you.

Oh, and it should be s, not z.
