<span class="ev_code_RED">Happy Valentine's Day</span>EVERYONE!!!
Hope all was well, and Everyone had a Fantabulous day! teehee

[Emi]

Good luck Mel, hope all goes well with you and "G"!! I wish I can go to Florida!!

Sooo... yeah... our team lost. It was really bad. haha.. 68-18. Oh well. At least this dramatic season is over. I was starting to get annoyed at my fellow teammates.

Um what else. Oh I sang yesterday. Blah. And we had a snow day on Wednesday. It was nice...

My sister and I are collaborating together to make a movie. It's pretty neat. We're actually going to make one. She's like writing it in story form, and I'm taking that and making it in to a script. Then she's going to contact people about letting us shoot in town and stuff. I'm pretty psyched. Because I know when my sister starts a project she really wants to finish it. We may not start until next year... but I want to sumbit my script in a contest.. So... we have to finish soon. It's going to to be fun.

Alright That's all for now... I'm going to uh find something to do. No basketball = uh laziness? Can't wait til spring.

[Dragon Writer]

MY SITE"S BACK! *Cheers* Dragonwriter.shocknet.chat now...AND IT"S BACK! Now mousey won't kill me! (Ok, she will, butfor a different reason!)

[alla]

I went and saw Phantom of the Opera on stage on Thursday night (Anthony Warlow as the Phantom). It was awesome. Much better vocal talent than the people who had the parts in the movie. And Raoul didn't seem as much of a pansy boy, which was probably aided by a deeper voice.

Well, this time tomorrow I will be on the plane to New Zealand. I'm going for 11 days around the South Island, visiting Dunedin, Queenstown, Te Anau, Fox Glacier, Greymouth and Christchurch. I will be taking lots of photos, which I may post as I go around (depends if I can access the internet anywhere along the way or not). I hope everyone has a great next couple of weeks . I will give a report on the trip when I get back

[Angel_Star]

So, um, Angel has a boyfriend. =) He's super sweet and treats me like royalty, lol. And he doesn't need to, the silly boy. I got to actually celebrate Valentine's Day for the first time ever. We went out to dinner and chilled at my house afterwards.

This is really short, but I have to get my homework finished so I can hang out with J tomorrow. =) I don't see him all that often because he goes to a different school, and neither of us can drive yet. So, we get our weekends and our phone calls. Oh, and work, but that hardly counts. Eh...I've got work in half an hour. Adios.

[Ash78]

congrats Angel. My sister just got a boyfriend and is in the same stitch as you, no driving, different schools, but she doesn't get to see him at work, and they live in different towns.
Anyway, just thought I'd drop in and say Dai', cause I haven't been on in a while. This is the final day of my four day weekend, and I really don't want to go back to school. We have 2 major projects going on, and everyone is talking abou high school. (I'm in 8th grade) Almost all of my friends are going to different high schools, because our town doesn't have its own, because we are a little rinky-dink town surrounded by a bunch of not-so-small-actually-quite-large-and-rich-towns. But, we are all going to 8 ,count 'em, 8 different high schools. It really stinks, because I just want to try to enjoy the rest of this school year, and our guidance keeps calling us down to talk about our high school. It's soo annoying! *rant*
Anyway, on a lighter note, my piccolo got fixed, yay! I finally get to go back to playing 2 instruments in band. Once again, yay!
Ok, I have to go back to doing homework, but I'm almost done, soo double-yay. (yes, I am that corny)

[seabiscuit1009]

So...speaking of boys. Hungry got her first date to a dance! Very good news, if I do say so myself. Well, not technically a date; Hungry got her first boy who's a friend to go to a dance with her-but still, that's an improvement from last year, where I sat on the couch all night, watching Grey's Anatomy. Happy. Feel accomplished, actually, which is kind of strange, but oh well.

So, I'm going to see Wicked tomorrow; fairly excited about that as well. Supposed to be a great show, so I'm excited to see it.

What else has happened...my basketball team is still undefeated, and is on track to win the district/league/whatever the heck you call what we play in. The championships, I guess you'd call them. Yesterday we played a really mean team, however; all they did was swear whenever they got a foul called on them, or whenever we didn't get a foul called. And one of them decided it'd be a good idea to snap my bra strap while the referee wasn't looking. Seriously, how rude can you get! But we beat them badly, so I guess I don't mind that much.

Even though it's President's Day, and we're all supposed to be lazy (or so that's what I've done for the last 12 years of school), I went down to my 3rd choice college for an interview since I'm trying to get another scholarship there on top of my merit one. I can't decide if it went well or not, since I'm bad at interviews. I mean, when I had something to talk about, the conversation went well, but there were a few awkward silences...I'm just not good at interviews. And I'm just sick of college in general right now. I'm annoyed that this time last month, I was sure of where I wanted to go...but then I got my merit scholarship from there, which we're still arguing with the admissions/scholarship office about (we both think it's wrong, but they won't admit that they think it's wrong...it's a mess.)

What else is going on...I don't even know. I love three day weekends, they're really nice. I mean, yesterday I slept until 10, and would have slept later except I got woken up for church. I love the idea that it seems like the weekend is going to be longer, but then you still end up doing homework late on Monday/Sunday night (depending on whether your day off was Friday or Monday.) So, speaking of undone homework...should probably do mine, especially in math since I've missed 2 days of that class in a row (college visit and poll worker training.) Urgh. The only bad thing about working the polls in March is that I'll have to vote absentee...which isn't as "fun." Oh well...at least I'm exercising my right as an almost-18-year-old American (you can vote in Presidential primaries here when you're 17, as long as you'll be 18 for the general election) and voting! Haha, being the daughter of a government teacher is seriously beginning to corrupt me politically. XD

[EricG1793]

Wow, I hardly come around for a month, more or less, and while I'm gone, we seem to be resorted to talking about ourselves in third person.

Yep, Eric wishes everyone happy Valentine's Day!

Eric's friend has arrived at Eric's house. Therefore, Eric says bye-bye! :

[Emi]

Congrats Hungry on your date and the bball thing!!! I know what you mean with the whole "mean team". I've played against some of those.. granted, my team might have been one of them. I had this one girl on my team who had a really bad mouth!!

Yay ANGEL!!!! (i need a guy )

Um... what's new?

American Idol people are the bomb this year!! Yeah, I'm watching it right now... Just the guys today.. but so what!

Umm... Oh we're ending up doing CLASSIC Broadway now instead of MODERN. Huh, so I'm going to sing "Somewhere" from West Side Story. I love that song... and it fits my range. So yeah.. let's cross my fingers and drink a lot of healthy crap. I'm not going to get sick this time...

Tomorrow's Rent-A-Senior Day, it's when all the underclassmen or teachers can rent a senior and make them do stuff. BUT they can't be extremely embarrassing stuff and blah, blah, rules. Unfortunately I don't know many seniors to rent so I didn't rent one. I'm nervous for next year though, because I don't want my Marketing Teacher to rent me!! I hope one of my good ol buddies rent me. It should be interesting tomorrow though, to see all the outfits people have to wear. I know that one person is going to be a fairy!!

Well, that's basically the update... I'll come back on in a couple days or a week. Oh Feb vaca is next week!!!

Dai!

[magicalmike]

I always say i need to post more but i never do. It seems that after chime left us most people dont show up. I havent seen some poeple in ages(mousey, ariel, nate, snuffles), i doubt they even remember me. Ah well life passes on, n'est pas. Speaking life its been up and down. Mainly down in the section of it dealing with relashonships. The musical is comeing to a close. Preformence after preformence falling t the same time as a large paper worth 50% of my 4th marking period english grade. Safe to say, im stressed slightly. On the bright side i seem to have made new friends this year. If we go into the whole structure of that your brain will explode. *think a shakespere comedy without the jokes or the happy ending* THAT confuesing. YAY many new books comeing out in april inclueding our own AWOM HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. Man i cant make long posts for the life of me. Oh well i must be off. Paper to write and world to conquer.

Dai cousins

-addendum. Im nervious. Someones comeing to our musical who is slighly famous because there grandchildren go to my school(one of them is my friend). But when i say famous i mean like most poeple know there name. I wont disclose there name but it freaks me out.

[eowyngirl]

Yayyyy! A thread of randomness! Totally my thing. *grin*

Congrats Angel! Even though I don't know you...because I'm new here...but still, congrats! And Emi, my school choir is doing stuff from West Side Story--including Somwhere--for part of our annual fundraising show. And I totally agree about this season's American Idol, but sadly I haven't been able to watch as many episodes as I'd like.

magicalmike--good luck on your musical!

-Dai

[Gryphon]

Heyyy, welcome, eowyngirl. I used to give newbies a big introduction, but I've gotten super lazy, and I guess there's less to talk about now that our chat isn't always open anymore. But it still exists, and every once in a while Diane Duane will open it up to chat with the members. Anyway, ello

Congrats, everyone! It sounds like something good is happening to everyone, even if it's something small. It's a good thing.

The concert that I was so pumped about was amazing! Serj Tankian from System of a Down played as the opening act, and Against Me! I guess was the opening for the opening act (I'm not sure what you call it XD). Very good. I love Serj and all, but I was embarrassed for my friend's parents cuz they had to sit for his act, and it was pretty vulgar. XD Whatev. :P The Foo Fighters though... I LOVE DAVE GROHL! Their entire performance was amazing and intense, and haha... they had a triangle solo. A couple of the guys in my group got hit with some beer that a person in seats above us were throwing.

My life isn't that exciting at the moment, I guess. My art club started painting a wall in the school. The mural is gonna be based off of the theme of the running of the bulls in Spain. This week, I get to visit a college that accepted me. I applied regular decision for all, so I don't get to find out where I'm accepted for a month or something, but the one in Maryland told me that they've accepted me early anyway and that I can come visit. So I will. I get the luxury of a day off of school for this. But mm... I'm just content that the weather is warming. :P

Oh, and I love House!

[seabiscuit1009]

Well, now my brain hurts, as well as my arm (it got wrenched around a bit during my basketball game today...not happy about that.) Last night was the winter dance, Snowball (creative name, I know.) And I had a "date" supposedly-just a friend from elementary school. I met him there, since he was working beforehand, and we went inside, and the minute we get on the dance floor...some other girls comes up and starts, well, "dancing" with him. She left...and another comes up and does the same thing. And all this is while I'm standing right there! So I pulled him aside and was all like "Look...if that's what you want to do, fine; pay me back for the ticket, go have fun, you're not with me anymore." It really kind of stunk; not at all what I'd wanted to happen, but he was just being so rude that I felt it was the right thing to do. And my friends agree with me, which makes me feel better about it.

The night wasn't a total loss however, since I slowdanced with the guy I really like. He hadn't brought a date, so that was nice. I don't think he likes me as more than a friend, but hey...he was nice enough to dance with me, and it was just really nice. The only problem is that his best female friend (who's one of my best friends) likes him as well, so when she found out that I'd danced with him, she made an "ugh...seriously?" face, like she was a bit angry about it. Personally, I think she needs to get over it; he's rejected her so many times it's ridiculous. Sorry...bit of a rant there, but you know what? Sometimes you just need to rant when stuff happens.

Oh, but I got a better scholarship offer from the school I really want to go to, which is amazing! I didn't think they'd actually up the offer, but they looked at the letters we sent them from other schools, and realized that they'd made a mistake. It's really nice when you get good news like that, since it makes it possible for me to go to the school again. I love that school, I really do. It's just a fun place to be. But really, I'm all confused again because of my visit last week to my second choice school. Oh well...I have to go shower or something...I surprisingly have no homework this weekend, which is amazingly nice.

[Tuttle]

I so don't have time to be posting, but I am going to be doing so anyways. In general stuff's been...busy, and not bad, but not good either.

I just looked back to figure out how long I should be posting about. Wow I've not posted in forever.

Well, they figured out my skin problems about 3 months after I started showing symptoms. I had scabies, meaning little mites were living in my skin (if people have heard of mange, that's the pet version, scabies is the human version, they're different mites). When they figured it out they gave us (me and Jono both went with these symptoms) prescriptions for a treatment. Unfortunately they gave us the secondary treatment, not the one you should use the first time. By which I mean it even says on it 'don't use this unless the other stuff failed'. This stuff (Lindane) had lots nastier side effects, because it was easily absorbed. And all these treatments are neurotoxins you need to spread from the top of your neck down on your body. And this one that they gave us was one 'don't use this if you're under 110 lbs' I think I' 115, I may be 120, I may be less than that. I don't think I'm under 110 though at least...just really close. So it was close enough Jono was like, your phone is going to be next to the bed and your door unlocked in case anything happens. Because it can cause seziures.

Luckily I didn't get seizures. Unluckily, I did get migraines from the point of tuesday night when I did the treatment until saturday still. Not constantly, but common. And Wedensday at noon I was supposed to have a midterm, but I had migraine and had been doing the treatment until 11:30. I missed the midterm and got permission to retake it at some point and stuff went weird and eventually I never took it. I also did hit the point of uncontrollable shacking for short periods of time. It was really weird. And not good.

And doing all your laundry in hot as possible water and drier is also a pain. And a lot of laundry when it includes things like all bedding, anything you've been handling needs to be either quarantined or washed like this. I ended up ruining my hat through two sets of this (the scabies came back (probably forgot to clean something and needed to do treatment again. Did a nicer treatment the second time though), because its a wool hat. It can almost be stretched back to wearable... I wish I had a hat.

And between the scabies, the treatment, and such I ended up hitting the point I couldn't pass one of my classes . So I'm just not going to it and putting effort into the other ones. I think I can pull off As without that class, so that's at least good. And just NRing one a year you don't lose scholarships and if it really was necessary I'd be able to argue that one really easily since it was a medical reason. It's just annoying and saddening. Luckily its not bothering my parents too bad, though the fact I didn't tell the everything all along was. But I knew if I did I'd be getting lectures and it would waste the time I needed to be working.

Umm...project report due soon. Need to get back to writing.Don't even have a full roughdraft yet. Too much work. Crazy.

People have been loud here so I've been doing this, but people are being quieter so I can write again.

[Mel]

You poor Tut! I hope ...I guess, that you get well soon, first of all (an Jono too, if he still has it), and that things work out okay with school. Man.
But don't worry. Good things _always_ come out of bad things.

Okay, moving on...

Emi: That's so awesome!!! sounds like loads of fun. My one friend likes to make impromptu movies, and it's sort of fun 'cause we get to star in them, making up lines and plot pretty much as we go. It makes some pretty interesting scenes, haha

alla: Phantom is my love. As I have stated several times, haha

Angel: *squee!* that's awesome!

Hungry: Man, that sort of sucks. That isn't right of him. :/ Boys are stupid. Basketball: very cool, very not cool. I don't know what to say. Good luck with your arm.

hi there eowyngirl! A very late welcome to YW!!

Gryph: Weird. My brother is obsessed with Against Me!.


Okay, so now onto my own news....

I don't think things with G are gonna work out. Like, at all.

He never came on Saturday. I was sitting in the mall, and I texted him asking where he was, and he said he was sick. I blew off a concert for him, and he couldn't so much as text his friend to tell him he couldn't make it! >.< That made me angry.

But then, on top of that, that night I started to get really, really sick. And by sick I mean, it felt like I had constant vertigo and was going to fall over, the whole time, and my parents weren't home.
After a series of scary days and such, I went to the doctor's on Monday. They think it might be dehydration + labyrinthits which is just lovely.
I've had it all week, including in Florida.

Speaking of Florida....

It was actually really nice! I mean, taking Amtrak for 20 + hours isn't too fun, but the rest of it was. It's sort of funny how that sort of trip will bond you with people you wouldn't have normally bonded with. And, I'll admit, it was really, _really_ nice not to be around my parents for a week. It was really cool to just be able to do whatever, This is only reinforced by my parents' constant naggings as soon as I got home....*sigh*

But Universal=cool :P it really is quite awesome! I suggest the Mummy ride, Spiderman (3d!), and Dueling Dragons (this last one was the coolest -- two rollercoasters in one, you nearly hit each other!)

So, even though practically everyone got sick the last day (?!!) and trains suck for long distance, it was quite worth it. I got a mini tan! haha


okay, I gotta go take a shower (which will feel _very_ good after those trains....*shudder*)

Dai, guys!!
