*is semi-obsessed with Sky Sailing (another project of Adam Young's, the guy behind Owl City) at the moment*
Minor service announcement. I'm noting that many new folks are in the Square, whom I've not got an "official color" for. If you like (or dislike) a color I use, let me know so I can try to be consistent.
*is glad PA came back*
Hear, hear! I use several here and there, but when an entire sentence/conversation looks like that, my grammar alert goes off and I'm a red pen maniac. Abbreviations on the other hand. . .Rose wrote:I, too, am not a fan of chat speak. (With the exception of lol, btw, and rofl). It drives me insane, heh.
Eep! Rose, you're reading Attolia! YAY! What do you think of it? How do you like Gen? Where are you in the series? Yay!
It missed you too!The lovely Miss named similar to a flower wrote:And yay for having my special 'rose' color back! I missed it.
Jo, I'm surprised Ly or WW haven't talked you into a McKillip yet! The Bell at Sealy Head is indeed a good start for her writing. Plus, it's such lovely writing.
Thanks for the kind reply about The Hobbit. I'm not following it well enough to have had an opinion about Del Toro, but I did think it was sad that he stepped down, though I agree that it's an understandable move. Do they have a new director yet, or is PJ doing it?
So, if I just quote you this time, does that avert the insult I unknowingly conferred on his Highness last time?Cor wrote:@ LL. Yes... well, you still could have said something like "waves to Cor and Vern" or something of the like. But, never mind all that now. You have spoken (typed?) to me, so all is forgiven.
*chuckles at Vern's antics which resulted in a wet Cor* Let's do it again!
Becca! Glad to see you in the Square! We're all a bit crazy here, some more so then others. The crazier ones, like myself, post terribly long posts because we think it's fun. My therapist and I are discussing this phenomenon. (Disclaimer: I am completely joking and do not need a therapist. . . yet)
Glad you like the color! *makes note of Matette's color* Oh, and glad I could help with the quote code.Matette wrote:P.s. I have seen you around as well, nice to officially meet though (and be given my own colour)!
Agreed on the lack of sleep, though for me, exams usually mean eating lots of junk foods. Hope your exams went well!Matette wrote:exam time means not much eating or sleeping for me (I've already lost 3kgs and gained under eye circles).
Not fun! June was terribly rainy here, but I doubt it was like yours.Kathy wrote:I think the rainy season has started for real in Japan now, so.. goodbye sunny days and dry weather for about a month and a half. I finally get out of school and all it'll be doing will be raining.
I think it's supposed to be a "cool" smiley. Cause shades mean one's wickedly cool.Kathy wrote: (I don't really get the point of this smiley so I just use it at random times)
*hugs Betsie to pieces* *puts the pieces back together and chatters to Betsie* The sky's up, as is the moon. I've been pretty well. I'm currently reading LWW and Till We Have Faces; I've read a multitude of books which I recently posted in the Books thread, I won't post them all here, for fear of being kicked out due to my boring list. School is finished for forever, or just for the summer? I can't recall if you graduated this year or not. *mutters "I wonder where this goes. . . anatomy and physiology are not being remembered. . . maybe she won't mind having a right leg and a left hand on the same side. . ."*Betsie wrote:So greetings, all my old friends, and those who may some day be new friends! What's up? How have you been? What are you reading? (That's my favorite question, in case you hadn't noticed yet...) I: finished school; am doing tolerably well for the (maybe) 90th day since I saw sunlight (I love rain, but I think I have had Too Much); and am reading Start Here, the sequel to Do Hard Things.
Ahkay. I thought so, but I can be a tad too literal sometimes.Aiden wrote:My sig does say to avoid sesquipedalianism, but obviously it's quite ironic because it is sesquipedalian itself. So, despite advising people to eschew it, I obviously do have a preference for it.
*chuckles at Mel's nursery rhyme* When can I expect to see Mother Goose, As Remembered by Meltintalle at B&N? What is your sig quote from?
Ali, have you gotten into any more McKillips?
Jojo! It is so lovely to see you again! Do you really butcher your own chickens for food? That's cool, but just something I'm not used to people doing.
*gives the Westlife songs another chance* Not too bad. I still think that "My Love" music video looks like a boy band though (the late '90's hair styling isn't helping). Seeing as I only like maybe half of the music videos of the bands I like, this isn't is bad as it may seem. *decides not to look at the videos for the other songs Jojo suggested* "Seasons in the Sun" is pretty nice. I think the music just has to grow on me.
Mwahahaha! It isn't that terrible of a pun!Ly wrote:(Dear, when did you all get me to start using this terrible pun? I was against it for so long ... and now I've crossed over to the dark side!)
That really stinks. Hopefully you'll be able to add dairy back in. Edit: ye cell phone died a noble death in the washing machine. Mayhaps it was attempting to reach another world and could only attain a strong signal in the bucket which fills with water and suds and spins to achieve a stronger connection. [/randomness] (Actually, I take that back, this whole post is random )Ly wrote:To answer all the inquiries and expressions of concern: I'm afraid my cell phone is lost for good, and I will have to purchase a new one in the next couple of days. I'm afraid also that I'm going to cut dairy completely out of my diet for a while now, and maybe try to ease it back in in a few months.
*enjoys reading the posts made here as folks waited for the trailer* I didn't have the ability to stay up for the trailer, sadly. I think I would have been terribly depressed if I had though.
*chuckles a Booky's post here*
*hugs QS* Tis lovely to see you as well!
I know we've discussed this elsewhere, but a hearty ditto to you! And, I am very glad you didn't keel over!Jo wrote:Hey ho on this Voyage Trailer Day! I'm pretty much of the same opinion as lys when he said that some scenes were simply right on (Dufflepuds, the ship herself, the Magician's library, the sea of lilies ♥ ... ), but other parts I went and almost keeled over.
*hugs Fanny* I've not spoken to you in forever; how are you doing?
*chuckles at Cor being able to fill the pool in twenty minutes * It does feel good to jump in though! *splashes the Soundtrack Man*
Conga Rats! And, that is rather sad about how difficult it is to bring all one's family/friends together.Mal wrote:We had my graduation party a few days ago, which was a lovely time, with all sorts of dear people I hadn't seen in forever. It's really sad that it takes your graduation, wedding, or funeral to bring everyone you care about together. And you don't even get to attend the funeral.
I didn't know this! I'm studying nursing currently (taking my first clinical this fall). Best of luck with it, and many blessings. I'm sure you'll do well!Mal wrote:Well, I'd like to study nursing, and then eventually get my master's degree as a nurse practitioner.
*is starting to skim more* So, sorry if I miss anything that I should have seen, but I'd like to get to bed before 4AM tonight.
*has a wonderful laugh at Lady A's post* Nice to see you and Narrator are still posting as usual. *sneaks Lady A some more fresh chocolates, without letting Narrator see, of course; hands Narrator a toothbrush, to prevent Royal cavities, of course*
I was Aggravation Impersonated or some such thing, I believe.Betsies wrote:And here is a Scary Thing: I am afraid I don't remember all of those names I made up for you!!!
Winter! Yet another lovely Oar Sunion, er, Square Sounisian, um, I mean Square Onion that I've not seen in ages!
And, Valia! Yay!
Dot, what are you studying? I didn't think most majors required students to take two lab sciences, which is why I'm curious. It might just be your college though. Edit: I see you're studying communications/drama. Sorry about the sciences.
Nice to see you about, Leafy! Eep! And, you've read CoK? What'd you think of it? How'd you like Sophos?
*Only six more pages. . .*
May I join?Dot wrote:I was thinking about starting a club, something like The Honorable Society for Witches Who Are Dead to Stay That Way.
*laughs for a Long Time at Mel's recreation of my and Aiden's ads for Lazarus* (And, yes the Square's history is fascinating. We're all crazy, that's what makes it so humorous. )
*skims way faster*
Ti! It's been ages since you've been in here! Wonderful to see you in here again! I looked at your blog; you little niece is so cute, and your nevvys are still adorable.
Poggy, sorry about summer school. That's no fun. What is fun is seeing you in here!
Kathy, that's truly miserable that you don't get VDT until late February. *offers chocolates and lots of other goodies to make up for this*
Ruby! *also hugs Ruby, but not to pieces*
*starts just looking for her name*
Cep! Nice to see you about again as well! Gorse and you still drinking that acorn tea?
Ooh!! Whadidya find? Anything amazing? *eagerly awaits the list of all Dot's finds*Dot wrote:Well, it's almost time to go. I'm so excited! Last year I found a copy of Jo's Boys that was printed in 1949 for only $8. I wonder what treasures I'll find this time......
*thinks the name Djaq sounds familiar, wonder how it's pronounced though*
*LL will pout if Djaq waits this long to return again* It's been lovely seeing you in the chatroom, though!Djaq wrote:Lady L!! You were back for a while and I wasn't here! *pouts*
Cep, little Tayla looks like she loves you, and I'd be inclined to say you love her too, no matter what you say to the contrary. She's a really cute dog! She takes good pictures. Oh, and it's a good shot of you too.
And, I think that's everything.
*waves/hugs any and all that she missed earlier*
Not much to report going on with me. Just this and that; mostly the sorts of things which while away the summer.
*snags some chocolates while Lady A's Narrator isn't looking and heads to Dreamland*
Sweet dreams all, and God bless!
*adds colors and hits submit*
