-I hope Dante matches me up with someone cool.

-PJ and Snicket-Face, your profiles amuse me.
-They make me feel like changing my profile, or putting out a poster, or something.
-Unfortunately, PJ stole my idea!
-I was going to threaten people, but then I saw that he's threatening broken arms in his signature.
-Blast.
-It reminds me of something I once said, though...
-"E. may seem like an unpleasant boy, but really, there's a kind, happy little boy deep inside him trying to get out - and I think we should try and help E. to find that boy by breaking both his legs."
-And somebody congratulated me on a long, drawn-out insult I made today against someone who's been kind to me in the past.
-Although I actually thought of it months ago - I've just been saving it.
-It involved barrel-scraping and Dante's vision of Hell.
-I also have another one waiting to be used.
-Waiting...

-Speaking of insults...
-Heh
-"How many parties have you NOT been invited to this week, C.? Four? Five?"
-I know, I'm cruel, but if you met this guy, you'd have to be cruel towards him, too
-Even his teachers told him to slow down at school, and start making friends
-And he has this weird twitching and muttering habit
-...anyways!
-Kai's birthday
-Yesterday
-It was...interesting
-Not a lot of alcohol
-Beer and Wine sucks
-Surprisingly, harder liquor is more to my taste
-I almost gagged when I had some beer-coke mixture
-Bah
-We also, with great difficulty, got the trolley bar off a shopping cart
-It's mine, now
-It's a perfect weapon
-No, really, it's just long enough, and just light enough
-And I can stash it in my jacket
-Self-protection through iron bars is fun
-I've hidden it under my bed
-In case I wake up and find someone stealing my computer
-We only went to bed at 12, which was strange
-I mean, normally, parties go much longer, but we were all so tired, after the barbecue
-And now my clothes smell like smoke
-I must admit, burning all of Kai's french school-books was fun
-I shall burn mine, too
-I'll never need them again
-EVER
-Eh
-Two weeks of holidays
-I need to find some kind of game to play
-If only Alice was working!
-And I checked with Dymocks, Book 12 comes out on the 19th
-Borders was unsure, but I think they're receiving them on the first
-So perhaps they open a day earlier, or I can get one somehow
-I saw The Dukes of Hazzard
-Eh, it was ok
-Nothing special
-But not bad
-And I'll post, now
-*POSTS*

[Dante]

-PJ, if I knew you in real life, I'd probably think you were a real jerk.
-The sky's pretty blue outside.
-I can't see any clouds.
-I just watched a short news report on Hurricane Rita.
-That poor reporter.
-He looked soaked.
-For some reason, I'm suddenly very interested in what the British B12 cover will look like.
-Cool and fiery, I hope.
-I'll probably have to eat breakfast soon.
-I'll probably have to eat breakfast soon.
-I don't seem to get many aSoUE or 667 coincidences.
-Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.
-"There's a refrigerator in my kitchen."
-"I know a person, and there are lots of those on 667."
-"In both aSoUE and on 667, people sit on chairs - and there are five of those in this very room."
-Why, there are dozens!
-I keep on thinking that I'm catching a cold.
-But I haven't yet.
-I finished Waterland.
-It wasn't very interesting.
-Great, and I'll probably be studying it for months.
-I wonder if I can sneak a copy of Crime and Punishment or Phantom of the Opera into class and read that instead.
-If only I had a hardcover Waterland with a dust jacket, I could so easily get away with it.
-Sigh.
-I might be going up to my school today or tomorrow, to take some pictures of the rubble.
-There's quite a lot of that.
-One thing that annoys me about school is that our teachers can't let us go home early, even if we've nothing to do.
-For example, on our third and last period of the day on Wednesday, we barely do anything.
-There's really no reason for us to stay, but the teachers can't let us go early.
-And there's a small gate downhill from the school which cuts off an enormous loop of walking for people who live in that direction, but we're not allowed to use it.
-Local residents don't like kids walking through there.
-Funny how that path's been there for years, but they only started complaining right now.

[Antenora]

-Burning school books sounds fun.
-I'm pretty sure I overheard some people in one of my classes talking about doing so.
-I'd like to burn my AP test practice books.
-We could use them for a fire in the fireplace this winter...
-But I'm supposed to save them so my sister will have them for when she's in high school.
-They're packed up someplace now, I think.
-I've started reading some stories by H P Lovecraft.
-My parents bought me a collection of his stories, which I haven't read much of so far.
-What I've read is really cool, though.
-My father's addicted to the game Bejeweled.
-I found a cool Bejeweled-type game a while ago.
-The Queen's Jewels: www.lifetimetv.com/games/game.php?game=queen
-The circular design of the board is interesting, and you get a queen's title when you beat a level.
-I've been awake, or at least half-awake, since about 1:30 AM.
-I think I'll go rest and read for a little while.

[Dante]

-I've been pretty busy writing some stuff this morning.
-People at my school always talk about burning their school books, but I don't believe any of them ever have.
-I'd love to burn some of my old stuff, rather than shredding it or packing it away in the loft.
-My parents wouldn't approve, though.
-I'll see if I can persuade them to change their minds on Bonfire Night.
-Queen's Jewels is quite fun.
-It's a pity I'm meant to be eating lunch right now.
-I'm having some pizza left over from yesterday.
-I wrote down a few quotes in my commonplace book yesterday.
-Here's one:
-"Paranoia means having all the facts."
--William Burroughs.
-I think there are two more Lovecraft collections I need to have a complete set.
-I've only got one at the moment.
-I can never find large volumes containing the entire works of author X.
-Although I did see such a Poe book at Waterstones the other day, and a copy of The Scarlet Letter with some other Hawthorne stories included.
-But my parents wouldn't have let me buy them, as then some of my other books would become obsolete.
-They don't like buying repeats, and I guess I don't either.
-And I'd best go for lunch before my parents shout at me.

[idiotj]

my hand still hurts

[Antenora]

-I keep hearing a weird rustling noise.
-It's probably just my sister in her room, or something outside, but it's a bit scary if you've been reading Lovecraft stories.
-We have a lot of big collections of stories by various authors, many of which overlap.
-For instance, there's a book of Poe's stories with illustrations, and a book of his complete works, and probably other collections as well.
-We have a lot of books that I keep meaning to read, but can never get around to reading.
-We were going to visit my grandmother at her new house today, but decided not to.
-She's too busy to accept any guests, it seems.
-We'll probably visit her sometime in October.
-In junior high(I think) we got to shred our old workbooks once we were done with them.
-I remember us tearing apart our books with a good deal of joy.
-Tearing up paper is a pretty good way to release frustration.
-Mother sometimes asks me to shred paper for her, and I don't mind doing that.
-I hope your hand recovers quickly, J.

[Dante]

-Oh, J.
-I hope you get better quickly.
-And do be more careful next time you're stabbing yourself.
-I've just had lunch.
-It still looks pretty sunny outside.
-I might be going to take pictures of my school later.
-But I don't know.
-I haven't discussed it with my parents.
-I will have to make dinner, though.
-But Father's doing pudding, so there'll be less work for me.
-Mother's just about to take a nap.
-I got some new shirts a few days ago.
-Mother's just trimming them down to size at the moment.
-I don't like shirt-tails, so I've been having Mother adjust my shirts so that they cut off just below the waist.
-It actually looks fairly nice outside, but I don't feel like going out.
-By "shred" I meant "put in the shredder," which isn't much good for relieving stress.
-At the moment, I favour kicking my beanbag repeatedly in a berserk rage until my leg aches.
-Although mostly, I don't actually relieve my stress.
-I just bottle it up, in the hope that someday I'll go insane.
-I've been doing this for years, and if I'm insane, I'm not insane enough yet.
-Lousy misleading TV shows.
-I'd like a new coat, too.
-And a top hat.
-I have no idea when I'd wear it, but I want one.
-Oh, that reminds me.

[idiotj]

--i heard a twittering sound, and i thought there was a squirrel in my room
--it was just a bird that was really close to the window
--i could have gotten tetanus
--but i can't tell my parents
--not yet, anyway
--i'll tell them i was practicing yoga or sonething, did a mismove and hurt my wrist
--that doesn't explain the cut, though, so i have to it for it to go down
--my hand is probably going to be one big bruise
--i think i have a good enough excuse
--my dad would buy it, if not my mum
--i'll try not to tell them, though
--grr, my nose is runny

[Antenora]

-When I have a lot of stress/anger to release, I like to go outside and whack things with a croquet mallet.
-They say that when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
-I think when you have a croquet mallet, everything looks like a croquet ball.
-I mostly whack croquet balls around with the mallet, or just hit the ground with it.
-We have a small paper shredder someplace.
-It's either put away, or behind a bunch of things on the counter.
-Mother was using it to shred old reciepts, but I think it kept jamming.
-Speaking of shredding paper, I once took a bunch of my old drawings and pages from my notebooks and hacked them up into tiny pieces with scissors.
-I don't remember what they were, but I wanted to get rid of them for some reason.
-It's quiet, but I keep hearing weird little noises.
-A few minutes ago, there was an odd clanging noise from somewhere.
-I keep thinking there's a cricket in the house, but they're just outside and particularly loud.
-We had a giant grasshopper or something in the house recently, when one of the cats brought it in.

[Dante]

-I don't hear crickets very often.
-And this house is generally rather loud, so strange noises are rare.
-The humming of this computer drowns out most noises.
-The other day at school, I twisted my head to see what somebody next to me was writing, and my neck made a rather loud *cruch*ing noise.
-A few seconds later, I added "Ow."
-It didn't actually hurt, but it felt necesary to give some small exclamation of pain.
-I used to tear up large pieces of cardboard when I was in a bad mood.
-It was never really good enough, though.
-What I really need is to hit things with a bat of some sort.
-But there's nothing around here that I can safely hit, and nothing that I can safely hit anything with.
-I have my first General Studies lesson on Monday.
-I expect to be underwhelmed.
-Although I don't expect to have to do too much work.
-It seems rather optimistic to have the entire Sixth Form crowded into the hall, and to expect them to do much work.
-I expect - let me be honest, I hope - that it'll just be like a long assembly.
-And then I have assembly after it.
-It'll probably be the obligatory "Most important year of your life, work hard, etc. blah etc." speech.
-They don't seem to actually try and motivate us.
-We'd be a lot more motivated if they said that it didn't actually matter too much, so we could take it easy.
-Wait, that doesn't work.
-But trying to make us fear doesn't work, either.
-Or it shouldn't.
-Or it doesn't work on me.
-What does motivate me?

[xangelkimzx]

-Once my friend Steph and I had nothing better to do so we burnt some old tissues.
-A man sat nearby (we were in town) who had a Scandinavian accent, was listening to headphones and was smoking weed said something like, "Whoaaa, cool."
-I should do my History homework now.
-Mamanie, my grandma is back and she brought me my sormé.
-It's really neat. It's a tiny bottle of finely crushed volcanic rock that is blackest black and I have three or four tiny wooden sticks, all different sizes, to apply it.
-It's supposed to be like natural black eyeliner and eyeshadow in one.
-I've wanted it for ages, so, yay.
-I'm talking to my Swedish cousin, Sormé (heheh, she was named after that) through MSN.
-She wants me to go on webcam but I'm kind of busy and need to do my homework, as I said.
-I have Nineteen Eighty-Four on my desk ready to read but I've still not started, and I got it quite a long time ago.
-The cover is really cool, it's the eyes of what I'm guessing is a main character.
-And it says, in white block capitals: "A POWERFUL CRY FOR FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION, NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR CONTINUES TO HAUNT THE IMAGINATION WITH ITS STARTLING IMAGES OF TOTALITARIAN TERROR."
-Yay, sounds very good.
-I'm also kind of happy because yesterday Aimee asked Byron (the person I've liked for over three years) if he likes me and he apparently kept asking "Why?".
-Much better than "No", and there is a tiny possibility that "Why?" means "Yes", else he would've just said no... right?
-Or perhaps I'm getting my hopes up for nothing.
-How would anyone else translate "Why?", then?
