The Topic of Great Randomness

[Dragon Writer]

Those having a bad day may wish to look away.
*dances* I got an artist! I got an artist! My comic is actually going to WORK! Oh my god.... My comic is actually going to work! Yeeeeedeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!


Sorry. I've not had the best few days - a few problems, and those who know me well can probably guess who's causing them. Otherwise, I'd rather not talk about it. So this is sort of the sudden release of pressure with a burst of good news I have been waiting weeks for... So long as nothing blows up in by face, Life, Death, and Chocolate will have it's first comic in no time.

[kk]

Dragon Writer: Link? When the comic is up, that is? Pleeeeaaase? haha.... Oh, and Happy Birthday!

Hmmm.... I'm going to keep this from being a one-liner, by saying, did anyone notice that the publishing company took down the release date for A Wizard of Mars? I did... I wonder what's up with that! I hope it goes back... I hope it stays at the same date! I'd be so sad if it was changed to later.

[Tsakaki]

Is that a recent development? Because I remember looking for it before and not finding it (a month or two ago). I wonder if there's some problems between DD and her publishing company? It's been post-poned a few times, and it always seems to be last minute, as the book stores don't seem to find out until the (at the time) release date.

I'm getting worried, I hope it comes out soon.

Wow, this past weekend I had the oddest dream of SYWTBAW. It was from Nita's point of view and took place in the school. There was some weird talent show or something, and the girls who picked on her where chasing her around and she it was supposed to be how she met Kit, but it was all wrong, (seeing as it took place in the school). It was so odd and cool at the same time. And the whole time I kept thinking that that wasn't how it happened.

I always find it weird the few times I have a dream where I'm half-conscious that I'm dreaming/that somethings wrong. It doesn't happen often to me.

[nelina]

I can have dreams that are from first person, or third person.

If I ever dream anyhting where I may die, I always wake up before that happens.

Sometimes I have dreams that reveal things about the futre or the past; and sometimes, in those dreams, I am conscious enough to ask people questions.

One time, I had a dream telling me what really happened to one of my enemies in elementary school. but, I had no idea what the year was, so I asked a janitor at the school, and he wouldn't tell me.(the dream started in the b-rrom.

I'm at school, and my class is almost over, so I've got to split.

Seems like I haven't been here in forever, but apparently it's only been a couple weeks!

Anyway, here's my first post at YW being 16 years of age (as of March 3rd).

So being 16 in Connecticut means getting a learner's permit for motor vehicles.... I'm pretty myeh about it. I have the birth certificate, a passport-sized picture, and a proof of address (letter mailed to me), so I believe I'm all set for the permit; I just have to to take the vision and knowledge tests. But there isn't much of a point for me to get my learner's permit now since all I do is go to school (I love riding the bus) and to up to MA with my grandfather, where CT permits can't be used, from what I can tell. I never do anything else.

School has been pretty chaotic, especially History. Math homework is reasonable and so are Spanish and Health, but History.... We have notes to do almost every night, and the textbooks we use are old and the lettering is small and the sections are very long and boring-looking and over-worded. As of last night, I had a worksheet on a bunch of questions about Chinese culture that required heavy thinking that is due tomorrow (I got that out of the way), an essay due tomorrow, and a pamphlet "advertising" a specific Chinese dynasty due Monday. Compared to other stories I see here and what my sister goes through in college, it's nothing, but it's pretty overwhelming by my standards....

Our school goes on a two-day rotation schedule, blocks going in the order of A, B, C, D on day 1, and B, A, D, C on day 2. I prefer day 2. B block alternates each day between Gym and Health, and I prefer Gym because it requires less thinking and gets me up and moving around first thing in the morning and awake for Math, which is second. History is third, during which we have third (out of 5) lunch, which means that we have 45 minutes of class, lunch, and another 45 minutes. I just don't like having Spanish last, but it's not as bad as having it lunch block.

On day 1, Math is first, which I hate. Health is second, which is OK at that time of day. Then's Spanish, during the lunch block. I hate having Spanish during lunch block because we have 4th lunch, so we have a long part of class, lunch, than a short part. The long part drags on and on and on.

My favorite lunch as for Science, second lunch. We'd have 25 minutes of class (during which we usually just talked about random things or non-class Science stuff), lunch, and then an hour of class.

...Sorry about the rant!

EricG: Happy late birthday!

Heh, though where I live you can get your permit when you're 16, I didn't get around to it until I was 18.

Yeah, while I consider high school nothing now, at the time I found it hectic. I didn't think it could worse -__- then I entered 2nd year college.

I know about history notes. Last year I had Art History for both semesters and had to do extensive chapter notes. They weren't due until the end of the semester so I kept putting them off to do other work. -__- During second semester I did 12 straight hours of notes the day before they were due. SOOO painful. This semester I have History of Graphic Design, and I'm being pretty good about doing each chapter as it's assigned, though it still sucks.

O.o You're lunch break rotates? Laammee. I'd heard of that, but my school never did it. Lunch was always at the same time.

Nelina: my dreams mix. It's weird. I have some that are first and some that are third. I think sometimes I even have this strange mix of third and first where I'm looking from 'my' perspective but can still see myself. It's odd.

Does anyone else know their guardian angel b/c I do.....I know alot that i'm not supposed to...

btw, did anyone else have paent issues upon 1st joining? I joined in 06, and got grounded off the computer for being in a chat room. I couldn't remember my password by the time I tried 2 log in again, until I got it changed.

Girls, do ur moms have issues w/ guys not having crew cuts? just saying...
I don't know a/b u, but my relationships have, without exception, lasted very long; I pity those who are crazy enough to date w/o seeing any prospect for the future.....

Also, you all need 2 check out the wikipedia article on Universal Language; it seriously needs some of us to edit it... I havent been able 2 find the time.

I recently got my meningitis vaccine, ( a/b 4 yrs after the recommended time..) and one of the side effects is "behavioral changes"; am I the only one who thinks that's weird?

[Neo]

Hello all! Once again Neo has returned to declare that he is still existing on this planet, though no one who's still here probably remembers him...Well, a couple of you might, but anyway. Hi. I'm actually going to try this time to stay on here regularly. And I need to update myself on the goings-on of the Young Wizards series...So! How is everyone these days?

[illiriam]

On pretty days I am reminded why I love my college campus. Everything is green and full of promise.

Today my dad called during one of my classes. I called him back after it was over. You know a conversation is not going well when the other person says, "Don't worry, everything is fine, everyone is fine, but..."
My grandma died today. This morning. I had two more classes to sit through after I heard. Which helped, because it kept me distracted and from bursting out in tears. But now I feel non-functional. I just need to keep busy. Hence, here I am.
This year sucked. My maternal grandmother died this past summer, then one of the family dogs, then my great poppop, then one of our cats, and now my grandma. I thought bad things only came in threes.
I found it interesting though, because I needed to read for a bit to compose myself before class, I am re-reading the YW series, and am on WD. Which makes me cry, or at least tear up every few chapters. So I was sitting outside my class building practically holding back sobs. I don't know why, but that made me laugh when I realized while I was sitting there. Maybe I found it a little ironic.
SO if anyone has a comfort book, I would be glad to hear about it. I don't like crying, I would rather turn pain into furious determination to do something productive. Homework and books will have to be my outlets for now.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know everyone says that, but I truly mean it. I know how it feels to lose a Grandparent. My Gramps was one of my best friends, losing him was one of the hardest things I've even been through. As for books, I can't think of a specific one but I'd suggest rereading one of your favorite childhood books. Something that is light, and brings back those happy memories of when you were young. For me books like that are "Mandy" and "The last of the really great Wangdoodles" (sp?) they are both written by Julie Andrews Edwards. (and yes I mean the Julie Andrews) Another is "The Girl with the Silver Eyes".

My University's campus is beautiful too! Well... actually right now its a bit ugly because everything is still dead. lol. But the campus sits just at the mouth of a canyon and the mountains are beautiful when its been storming and they are covered in mist.

[kk]

Illiriam: Awwww, I'm so sorry! I agree with bookgirl about the childhood books thing... When my grandfather passed away, I reread Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and dug through my bookshelves and found some of the older Nancy Drew books that I used to be addicted to. The stories are very relaxing, and have good plotlines; no matter what age group they're supposed to be for. Plus, Roald Dahl has such an amazing imagination; I wonder what inspired him...

Not much is going on. Life is normal; and since that absolutely never happens, I'm getting a bit worried.

[nelina]

hey peeps; I was @ home late @ night last time I was on, and I did not get to delete the browsing history as I was kicked off the computer to go to sleep, so I was discoverd, so I can only get on at school now. (I know it's a slong sentence).

And only when I have a substitute...
Wahhhhhh..............

[Glede]

SWEET SIXTEEN ERIC! HAPPY B-DAY!

Aw, I'm sorry illiriam.

[Emi]

Happy Birthday (Belated) Eric!!!

illiriam: I'm am soo sorry. The only comfort books that I would think of reading for myself would probably be something that would make me laugh. Even through my moves I always make sure I have a funny book that stays out. For now, I have the Blue Is For Nightmares book. It may not sound funny, it's not really a "comedy" but it does have "comid relief" in it. I love the "supporting" characters in that story. They are all very comical.

Gah, I've got a new online/texting addiction... Twitter. Yes I said it, I'm officially a twitterholic. I don't know how that happened?!? I think it started when my mom made me sign up for one so when I go to college she can read what I'm doing... then we just signed her up for facebook. But yeah... now I Twitter online and on my phone while I'm away from the computer. Sad? Yes. Bad? No. Haha. It's fun... to me at least- to see what the celebs are doing.

I need to start to network with them somehow if I want to become a famous director. Haha.

I shall go to bed. I have a sore throat... a semi stuffy nose... and a tired pair of eyes. Goodnight all.
