PJ’s Rant.
Fresh material, this time. You know, this is actually the first time I actually know what I’m going to write about, BEFORE I’ve started to write. I usually start writing, look around for something to whine about, and then write it. So. Whether or not it will be better, I have no idea.
First off, my adventures in another forum. It was some crazy writer forum, and, heaven forbid, it had the word “Mystic” in its name. So, anyways, I introduce myself in a really cool and snappy way, and I instantly get PMed by the admin, who has decided I might be a troublemaker, and has given me an extra warning. What kind of a welcome is that? I even SAID, in my very first post, that I had read the rules.
After telling him that I in no way wished to cause chaos (honestly, what’s the worst I could do on a writer forum?), and then I told him I disagreed with his paranoid stickied rule threads on every freaking board. He replied by telling me that he was only obeying the rules set down by proboards, and that certain unnamed individuals had read my introduction, and had decided I was too much of problem, and advised the administrator that I should be banned. BANNED. ON “SUSPICION” OF TROUBLE. BECAUSE THEY READ ONE SINGLE POST.
After that, my correspondence with the admin ended. I decided to post in my greeting thread, telling everyone that I wasn’t really a problem, and that they where over-reacting. The admin then replied and claimed he never had a problem with me. I, in turn, told him that it was the others who were the problem. He responded by locking my greeting thread. MY GREETING THREAD.
So, no one has read my stories, and now my own greeting thread was locked. Getting bored of the whole thing, I quit, and proceeded to rant on about the shortcomings of the forum, after which I was promptly deleted, alongside my freshly made rant thread.
Ok, I’m done. I just had to get that off my chest.
Moving on, I hate the word “lol”. Its way, way, WAY to over-used. Sure, I may use it from time to time, but only when I actually laugh out loud. This forum is pretty cool in that respect, but it still buggs the hell out of me when 90% of my MSN list use it every ten seconds. Oh, and posting AIM convos. I hate people who do that. Their boring, and no one reads them, and pointless.
So, the Firefly Episode I was just burning onto a CD is done, so I might as well stop ranting as well. I’ll keep some stuff for next week, then. Sorry if my crazy writer forum story wasn’t entertaining. Bleh.

...What I’m saying is, evolution is flawed. It’s stupid to think that the unvirse was created using plausible methods that could be scientifically explained! It’s much more sensible to teach that the creation was guided—
B
Did you just say Creation?
A
Nonono, I didn’t say ‘Creation’, I said ‘creation’. There’s a difference. Anyway, it’s much more sensible and logical to think that the universe’s creation was guide by some—some—something.
C
Do you have a specific sort of, uh, force thing involved?
A
It could have been a, uh...
C:
A monkey?
B
A Jedi!
C
A god?
A
No, no, definitely not a god. But some sort of divine force with godlike powers, maybe. I mean, look at rocks. Aren’t they wonderfully crafted? And toes. How could you look at your toes and say they were a cosmic accident?
B and C
Not really.
A
[mutters]
Burn in hell.
B
Did you just say ‘burn in Hell”?
A
Nonono, I didn’t say ‘burn in Hell’, I said ‘burn in hell.” It’s a place of fire and torture and punishment, but there are no religious undertones at all.
B
So hell can be...
C:
An oven?
C
A jedi!
A
No, not an oven. It makes much more sense to burn in some place that’s least likely to exist than in someplace that certainly does, doesn’t it?
B and C
Not really.

Linda’s Interview Of The Week.[/b]
Each week, one lucky member will have the chance to be interviewed. This week, Jemima got her chance, because the member interview was her idea.
Linda: Now, we all know your username is Jemima, but what is your real name?
Jemima: I don't care to say my last name, but my first is Cristina.
Linda: That’s understandable, I don’t give out my last name either. Where are you from?
Jemima: I live in the USA, and in Michigan.
Linda: Now, tell us a bit about yourself. What are some of your interests?
Jemima: I love art, every kind of visual art. I adore music. Music, besides art, is my life. I also like Cats, and cats. ASoUE is awesome.
Linda: How would you describe yourself, in terms of physical appearance?
Jemima: I have glasses, though I hope to get contacts soon, have dirty blonde hair (natural highlights), I am white, and I'm trying to get skinny. I barely wear makeup.
Linda: How would you describe yourself personality-wise?
Jemima: Very outgoing, funny, an extrovert, but I'm very serious about school. The last two years I've gotten all A’s.
Linda: How did you find out about 667?
Jemima: I was trying to find out about LSASoUE movie, and I happened to stumble upon here and find some actually helpful information in Maligant Movie.
Linda: Were you ever a lurker?
Jemima: Like I just said, I lurked in MMovie for some time, and gradually went into other sections like the rule section, so I would have read them already in case I joined.
Linda: About how much time do you spend on 667?
Jemima: I spend 5-7 days a week on it probably.
Linda: How important do you think is it in your life?
Jemima: It is very important to me because I can meet other people from around the world and talk with them, which gives me some variety in my life, because where I live, nothing ever really happens.
Linda: What sections do you visit the most?
Jemima: I like MM (not the movie thread). I don't visit the movie threads anymore because the movie's over. Basically all the sections that I can access are interesting, but some book ones are a little dull. I like CC and AA tons also.
Linda: What are a few of your favorite threads?
Jemima: Threads that are very random and funny and actually discuss things are great. I love a thread if it has something interesting in it. Threads with BSam in them are great.
Linda: Do you feel like the majority of the members know who you are?
Jemima: I think a lot of members know me; I've been around for over 5 months now.
Linda: What do you feel your level of popularity is?
Jemima: My popularity level could be around a 7 or 8. Of course, I really don't know, since I'm not da people.
Linda: Do you find the members of 667 to be nice people? Is anyone rude to you?
Jemima: Some members can be crude, but overall people have been nice to me. When people insult me when I'm betting they're just being funny, you can't really tell if they're for real or not, so I get offended sometimes, even if the harm was unintentional.
Linda: Is there anything you’d like to tell the members of 667 while you’re in the spotlight?
Jemima: Yes. Be nice, make good threads, participate in things members you don't know create, and for once- please, just once, POST IN THREADS WHEN PEOPLE ARE ONLINE! That's why everyone's been complaining things are boring on here, it's because no one talks when this place is meant to talk and e-socialize.
667 Dark Avenue is an e-community. So get to know members.
Linda: Thanks for the interview, and thanks for being the guinea pig, Jemima. Looking forward: Next week is Deanna’s week to be interviewed. After that, I believe Sixteen said he wanted a chance.
If you would like to be interviewed, contact Linda, and she’ll try to fit you in.

Dear Jemima,
My computer doesn't work. How do I fix it?
-Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,
So the Jemima's How To two weeks ago didn't help you with the computer? Well, I guess I could try to help again. Check to see if the TV thing is on. If it isn't hit it and see if the computer starts up. If that doesn't work, hit the CPU(Column that's a Personal thing to help you write Useless essays for homework) and see if the computer runs. Get a lasso and catch it when it starts running. Then you'll know, after you lasso it, that it's in shape and running order.
Sincerely,
Jemima
Dear Jemima,
I want to do well in school, but I'm too lazy to do any work. I need your advice. Why do energy levels of an atom start with the letter K? Find the difference between (5^2d^2 -9)-2c^2d^2+3cd-1. Based on your observations, draw and color a typical red onion cell mounted in water. Label the cell wall, cell membrance and cytoplasm.
--J.
Dear J,
Am I that good that I get people homework in my inbox? I'm not a teacher! You're cheating, cheater! I found a picture of you...
Wait, maybe that's not you, so here's another picture...
Well, anyway, here's how I can help you. Atomic levels start with the letter K because there were tons of things in the dictionary that started with K that had to do with science, i.e. kerosine, kettle drum, keystone, kidney, you get the picture, 'kay?
How should I know the difference between (5^2d^2 -9)-2c^2d^2+3cd-1? I'm betting it's 2^b^1-b=a(n) Id+ot.
And finally, here's a wonderfully drawn picture of your onion cell.
Don't blame me if you get an F in Science and Math.
Sincerely,
Jemima
And this week's Jemima's How To:[/b]
How to cook dinner! [/b] Note: Use these directions at your own risk. The 667er takes no responsibility for the results of these actions.
Step 1: You know the drill: get food!
Step 2: Get a microwave
Step 3: Follow the directions on the package, if it doesn't have directions, put it in the microwave for at least 10 min in boiling water.
Step 4: Enjoy your dinner when it's done! Careful, don't forget to take it out with oven mitts on and let it cool.

Hi, I’m Sora and this is my first edition of World News. This week in the world:
Bird Flu. Yes, it’s coming people, so lets embrace it with our full clean lungs. Last week a Thai man died of the avian flu, and more men and women in Russia and Turkey are preparing from future cases in their countries by mindlessly slaughtering thousands of supposedly ‘infected’ birds. This is great for German man Phillip Ludwig, a flamboyant birdaphobe, who claimed he had perfect reasons for shooting all the swans in the nearby ponds. Good on ya mate.
In other news, Hurricane Wilma has been passing through the Gulf of Mexico with ‘Category 5’ power. What is this, the third one in 3 months? With all these horrible disasters occuring, e.g the earthquake in Pakistan, the mudslides in Peru, the massive flooding of Gisborne, the marriage of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher; am I the only one thinking Apocalypse? The End of Days? The Day After the Day After Tomorrow? Are we DOOMED! Dun dun dun duuun………….
Well, that’s it for this week. Cheers.
