-Heh, I got a classic song, "Cows with Guns"
-Its hilarious
-A Derik-Type song
-I'll send it to him if he hasn't already got it
-Made by someone called "Dr. Demento"

Incorrect.

A lot of people make that mistake, the song is actually by Dana Lyons.

[raoawr]

I love Dr. Demento. He's from around the area where my mom went to college so we have his CD. I don't know if he has others, but it's amusing. And Baby Daddy, you don't need to put that in such huge letters. We can still read it at a much smaller size.

My dad just came home from work. I can't believe he went to work on Labor Day. Actually I can. He works a lot. He works every day except Sunday.

Quiche tonight.

But with the amount of rubbish posted in this thread, PJ might not see that. Not that it really matters, it's just something that annoys me when people get the song or band names wrong.

[raoawr]

Well if he saw he sees that he's been quoted he'll probably read what you have to say.

I want to go to bed but I want my quiche first.

Erg. Registration, choir, and cross country tomorrow. I have one hour of freee time. In cross country we're doing a three mile "easy run" and then we go to the weight room. School starts on Wednesday.

-Well, the version I have says Dr. Demento
-He's probably the guy who sings it

I don't think you're that arrogant PJ, atleast Dante seems more arrogant than you.

-Ha!
-Suck on that, Dante!
-Heh
-I'm at school
-....Actually, this is my post

--I can't get to sleep.
--I think about the implications...
--Squee for that song.
--I can't get to sleep.
--First day of high school tomorrow.
--I'm supposed to be asleep.
--Was supposed to be hours ago.
--Can't.
--Oh, god.
--7 hours.
--Less than 7 hours, actually.
--I'm so scared that both my arms are bruised from biting them, so I started on my legs.
--I'm starting to think biting my self is weird.
--SO KJLJSDHLKDF
--I hope I don't get caught by my parents.
--I should be doing constructive, like the asoue fic but I
--JUST CAN'T CONCENTRATE.
--This ALWAYS happens.
--When I know I should sleep, I can't.
--I'll stay up, with anime and all.
--Too late to turn back now.
--I can do it. Time's short when Inuyasha and FMA are going to be on, then Family guy and Futurama, then rinse and repeat.
--I guess.
--I'm tired, though. I should have given myself like 3 hours to sleep. That's how long it usually takes, and I shouldn't've been tempted by the internet.
--I wonder why PJ isn't on MSN.
--I logged on looking for him.
--Then I went onto AIM; there's enough for a chat.
--It's still early. It is. Ugh. How can I pull of 7 hours even with Adult Swim?

[A. the Returned]

-I read Shade's children a while back.
-It was pretty good, or at least I liked it.
-The next door neaighbours are over at the moment, My mother is more motherly to them than she ever was to me.
-She is always visiting them or having them over.
-Even when she bakes something she saves some for them.
-I like them though. They're 5, 7 and 9 years old.
-I remember when they first moved in. The youngest wasn't even born.
-They're watching home videos with my brother and sister.
-I had a pretty good day today.
-I was just in a good mood, the weather sucked.
-We watched the weirdest movie in religion.
-Former drug-crazed prostitute and savage killer became what many saw as a fully rehabilitated and beautiful, loving person- Straight from the blurb of The Power of Forgiveness, the story of Karla Faye Tucker.
-It's a true story about a pick axe murderer who was converted to faith while she served in jail for 14 years but was eventually put to death anyway.
-Only in Texas is every second person a druggie or prostitute.
-The story just got weirded and weirder.
-The dead girls father was shot dead by a mal prostitute, her brother was a druggie until his drug dealer gave him his father's bible.
-Yeah, it was really distorted and hard to believe.
-Entertaining none the less though.
-Well that's pretty much all I have to say.

-That's a great line.
-I don't think I'm arrogant.
-I probably am sometimes, though.
-Dante, I don't think you're arrogant.
-Yesterday I had some chocolate fudge soda.
-Father bought it while off visiting Grandmother M.
-It wasn't bad, really, but not great.
-I bite my cuticles a lot.
-Currently, they have little cuts all over them.
-I need my coffee.
-Mother bought more of the kind of coffee I really like.
-I slept pretty well last night.
-At least, I fell asleep pretty quickly.
-I don't remember any dreams I had.
-Recently, I haven't been remembering anything about my dreams at all.
-I think I'm prepared for school today.
-I've read part 1 of Crime and Punishment(there are six parts).
-My Spanish writing thing was done a while ago, but I may add to it.

[Dante]

-So my first day back at school wasn't really.
-It was just induction and administration, sorting us into forms and having us fill in forms.
-Again, accidental pun.
-Or at least, it would've been, if I'd phrased it as one.
-Instead it just sounds awkward.
-But anyway, they let us go just before lunch.
-And tomorrow, we only have to come in for first lesson, and that's more form-filling.
-The real lessons begin on Thursday.
-I have first lesson Monday off, and all of Wednesday afternoon off.
-And my new form tutor is a teacher I like, but nobody I know well is in my new form.
-Well, that's probably how I'd've liked it.
-Also, we're meant to be doing some weird induction team-building activities on Monday and Tuesday.
-I can't really be bothered to explain, though.
-Let it simply be said that I'm trying to get out of Monday.
-I should read some more of Lords and Ladies.
-I read a bit of it before I went to school, and I was going to read some during a lull in form-filling, but the moment I got it out we moved onto something else.
-Works every time.
-And I'm pretty sure that N. is on holiday.
-It's either that or his whole family has vanished off the face of the earth.
-The former seems more probable.

Edit:

-I had a dream last night.
-I can't remember anything about it now, though.
-And what I could remember of it earlier wasn't much, either.
-It was weird and fragmented, and I think a book (or the story from one) was involved somewhere.

[xangelkimzx]

-I don't think Peej or Dante are arrogant.
-I'm listening to Hole's "Dying" and before that it was Auf Der Maur's "Taste You".
-Tasha sent me some really pretty Celtic songs, so I was listening to them earlier on.
-I generally like chill-out music of all sorts, I just never get 'round to listening to it most of the time.
-Aimee's back today. Yay!
-I'm going to try and make her re-join 667.
-Not that she left, she just generally drifted away.
-If she says no then I think I'll make a petition thing.
-Hehehe, I've got it all planned. I just hope people will join in because once I've made it, all you need to do is sign your (user)name.
-So it's one more post for you and one more reason for Aimee.
-As she would say - "Excellent."
-I have school tomorrow.
-I don't hate school, unlike everyone.
-It can be pretty interesting somedays, and the dull days are okay because I get to see my friends, and it's better than being at home online all day.
-I'm getting my hair trimmed in a few hours, so I need to wash it soon.
-Usually the hairdressers wash it for me but I want to wash it myself today, for some reason.
-I bite my cuticles too, and always have done.
-I've never really bit my nails, though.
-I like my nails.
-I think I slept well last night too because I went to sleep early (11:30ish... early for me, in the holidays) to get into the "routine" and it only took me around half an hour to sleep, I'm guessing.
-I'm reading The Butterfly Lion.
-It has big print and is generally much lower than my reading age ability, but the blurb sounded sweet so I bought it earlier this year.

[Antenora]

-I like some things about school.
-My classes are interesting enough, this year.
-The only seriously difficult one is Literature.
-We have to do some sort of "outside reading" and write something about it, before winter break.
-And we're going to do this three times in the year, apparently.
-The criteria for this assignment are really, really vague.
-I have a vague idea of what I might read for this--possibly something by Jane Austen.
-We're supposed to read three novels from the same time period or with similar themes, I'm not entirely sure.
-It does sound awkward when you use the same word in two different senses, in the same sentence.
-Sort of like a half-realized pun.
-I like puns, but not if they're taken to excess.
-Zany Video Game Quotes.
-I found this site about a year ago, forgot about it, and only just rediscovered it.
-I seem to have the weird ability to find funny/interesting sites that have just stopped updating.
-Or sites that stop updating a little while after I find them.
-It seems that whenever I start on some activity to pass the time, such as reading or drawing, we move on to something requiring my attention.
-I draw a lot in my classes, when we're not doing much.
-I carry a sketchbook in my backpack for just that purpose.
-Once I got my sketchbook taken away from me because the teacher caught me drawing in class.
-Fortunately, I got it back by the end of the period.
-It didn't have much in it anyway.

[xangelkimzx]

-I've never had a notebook or anything taken off me because I don't take them to school.
-I'm listening to another Celtic song Tasha sent me.
-It's called "Return to Innocence" and is by Enigma.
-It's pretty relaxing, and I like the African-style chanting.
-I've always been a dreamer.
-Always dreaming of the impossible, the unlikely and the supernatural.
-I guess that's why Aimee called me Luna when I called her Cho.
-Hehe.
-Well, I'm all set for school.
-I have everything apart from my new shirts, which are coming next week, I think. Until then I'll just wear my old ones, because we only got these a few months before the end of last term so they're not too old.
-It looks like my friend Chris is back from his long holiday in Australia.
-His display picture is a picture of him on the beach and he looks much thinner than I remember, and younger.
-He's the kind of guy who gets out his ten different credit cards in Maths lessons to impress the teacher and generally shows off and is clever.
-We used to always get put next to eachother in French and Geography lessons and I won't be surprised if we do again this year. But we always argued a lot, too, because we had our differences.
-For example, he said books were "s**t" and then we argued over that for a while.
-This song is really long.
-I thought it had ended but there's still like, ten minutes of it left.
-It's nicely weird.
-As I said, I like thinking outside of the box.
-I always wanted to live by the sea or in an enchanted forest.
-I still do, but with a more realistic attempt.
-Oh, well.

[Dante]

-I hate it when you're asked to do something important, but then the criteria are really vague.
-I worry that I'm doing it completely wrong.
-I worried a little that I'd done some English things wrong, for that reason, in my exams.
-I think my most difficult class this year will be Maths.
-It'll probably be my most boring, if it's anything like last year.
-Too many days spent doing practically the same exercise out of the textbook.
-But I don't really know what to expect from most of my classes.
-Not much, to tell the truth.
-As you've probably gathered, I don't think too highly of my school.
-Those video game quotes are funny.
-I saw a cabbage butterfly earlier.
-It's really sunny here.
-Again.
-I'm pretty tired of it by now.
-It's meant to be autumn, not more summer.
-I can hear an aeroplane, or possibly the wind.
-Earlier, when I was walking to school, I couldn't see a cloud in the sky.
-And one of my knees hurts.
-I have no idea how I'm going to spend the rest of the day.

Edit:

-I just read through this post, and it sounded garbled and only semi-coherent.

[xangelkimzx]

-Aimee's home! Yay!
-She's not online yet, though, but her sister is.
-That means she will be soon too because they're usually online at the same time.

[Antenora]

-I have a CD someplace with "Return to Innocence" on it.
-That's a lovely song.
-Somebody compared me to Luna/Loony Lovegood once.
-Can't remember who, or when, though.
-I wanted to live by the sea at some point.
-Right now, I'd say that my ideal house is a mansion on a remote hilltop.
-Someplace isolated and remote, at any rate.
-I found a weird chess game: The Thinking Machine.
-After you make your move, the computer traces out possible next moves for both you and itself.
-The ripple effect on the board gets annoying after a while.
-I was just looking at it, and when I switched back to this window I could see the after-image of the ripples for a moment.
-It's giving me a headache.
-I think I'll stick to less flashy chess games.
-Maybe I'll have time to play chess with Father this evening, although I'll probably want to go to bed early.
