-I hope you get better, Amber.
-My History teacher was talking about the cricket today.
-No one was interested.
-He's a cool teacher, Mr Chapman.
-We're currently doing Medicine Through Time and have covered the Stone Age and Aborigines (which I loved) so far, and are going to start medicine in Ancient Egypt next lesson.
-YAY!
-I love Ancient empires, especially Egypt.
-Wow.
-Yay.
-Yes.
-I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say this on here but I think necrophiliacs are the most disgusting people in the world.
-Really, I just can't put into words how wrong it is.
-Ugh.
-My friends and I had a discussion about them today.
-We all thought they were disgusting but Tasha remained opinionless.
-It's because a band she likes are necrophiliacs.
-Eww eww eww.
-I really should change the topic now, it's making me... ugh.
-I write nicely with a quill.

-I often collect feathers.
-This morning, I found one from a wild parrot.
-There was a big flock of parrots on the wires near my house, in fact.
-And I have lots of crow feathers.
-I imagine guests on the forum as cloaked figures, but somehow different from invisible users.
-I think I had the mental image, at some point, of the forum as a huge room, and the guests were watching from the rafters above the rest of us.
-Tomorrow, we're doing some sort of experiment in Photography class.
-I thought we'd be doing it today, but there was just a lecture on the history of photography.
-Mr B told us about Civil War surgical techniques.
-This was because during the Civil War era, someone discovered that a chemical used to dress wounds could be used for photography, to make light-sensitive chemicals stick to a glass plate.
-Anyway, Mr B "demonstrated" how a doctor would amputate someone's leg, using his teacher's aid.
-She still has both legs, though, and she said the "demonstration" freaked her out.
-They'd amputate your leg using a sort of hook-shaped knife, which they'd use to cut the flesh, and then saw through the bone.
-The teacher held her leg up and showed us where they'd cut it off.
-It was indeed freaky.
-And in Computers class, where I am, I finished and presented my nanotechnology slideshow.
-I found a cool picture for it.

-Gray goo is what you get if nano-robots eat all life on earth while endlessly replicating themselves.
-People liked my presentation, and I probably got a good enough grade on it.

[Dante]

-Wasn't it Prince Charles who first warned of the dangers of grey goo?
-I think it was.
-If not, he was certainly well-known for it.
-In my head, anyway.
-I never got to do ancient empires.
-We covered them briefly in primary school, but never anything more...
-I've missed out on so much in life.
-I seem to spend all my time these days trying to catch up.
-And I never will.
-My left palm aches.
-Anyway, I've been reading The Last Continent for most of this afternoon.
-I've been quite enjoying this seemingly-random subplot with the staff of UU, and am interested to see where it will go.
-Aside from where it already has gone, obviously.
-I'm more than half-way through, and I should be able to finish it today.
-I don't see too many rafters.
-Or, for that matter, any.
-But I wish I did.
-I don't often see neat feathers, either.
-And Mother always sniffs and says that they're dirty.
-I reckon that my cover of The Last Continent is an amalgamation of at least two scenes in the book.
-Possibly (probably) three.
-But it's hard to tell, yet.
-Ow, my hand does really hurt.
-People kept on talking about the cricket today.
-People would occasionally ask the scores, or wander off to find out.
-I have no idea how the cricket scoring system works, although I'm sure it was explained to me once.

[xangelkimzx]

-I did two quick updates in my LiveJournal.
-"The Great Below" by Nine Inch Nails... so beautiful.
-Oh, my.

-I believe you mean Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, PJ
-Seeing as how Charlie and the Chocolate Factory hasn't come out yet....
-It was a good try though ;D

-No, Snicketface, I said what I meant
-Just because it isn't out wherever you live, or it is named differently, doesn't mean it is so here
-I'm at school
-So my post ends here
-gah

-Hmm... my mistake PJ, my apologies
-I'm jealous that its out in Australia
-School today was... hard
-I had tons of stuff to do, and no time to do it
-I have some homework but not too much
-I passed my physical science with an 85%
-Isn't as good as I wanted it to be.... I'd rather have an 89% or above
-*pout*
-I'm extremely tired
-I got my camera back today for that photo competition at my school
-should be fun
-It's wicked hot....

[xangelkimzx]

-PJ and SF are both right in a way.
-PJ is right that it's out where he lives but apparently not where SF is.
-SF is right that the older 70's version is called Willy Wonka... and not Charlie.
-Heh.
-I'm listening to Placebo's "Twenty Years".
-It's pretty.
-There are twenty years to go, a golden age I know. But all the past will end too fast.

[Amber]

-My headache has mostly gone but I still feel really ill.
-I've decided what to send Kimia.
-I can write the letter now.
-Yay!
-I'm listening to The Man Who Sold The World.

-Yay, thanks, Amber!
-I'm listening to "Pure Morning" by Placebo.
-I'd really better go soon.

-I'm on a slow library computer, this being my free period.
-Most of the computers in here are off-limits for now, as they have to be repaired or something.
-But I tried using one earlier and it seemed fine.
-Then the librarian said I couldn't use it.
-I have some homework I should start on, for Literature.
-Good thing I have my Flash drive to save things on.
-Darn, it doesn't seem to be working.
-There's nasty old Clipit shaking his...metal arm thing...at me.
-I'll have to try another computer.
-I can always take care of this project tomorrow morning, when I can hopefully get to the "off-limits" computers, or at home.
-All of the others that we're allowed to use are taken.
-Fortunately, this Literature thing isn't due for some time.
-We started writing it in class today, but I wanted to type up what I had of it so far.

[SF]

-She's really awesome.

-I can't really turn yet, but I can push off, and more importantly balance myself, and I can flip the board off the ground into my hands
-I only fell once so far.... it was quite funny ;D
-It didn't hurt that much
-My dad just walked into the loft (where I am) looked at me nodded his head as if saying "no" and walked out... <--that last smiley is supposed to have question marks over its head... but it doesn't show up *rolls eyes*
