-I feel rather tired, but I generally do in the mornings.
-And earlier I felt slightly ill, but I feel better now.
-667 seems to have been quiet overnight.
-This is a good thing, in my opinion, as it's less for me to catch up on.
-I'm probably meant to be eating breakfast now.
-There's not a cloud in the sky outside.
-Exercise makes me tired rather than happy.
-I remember hearing somewhere that you're meant to do exercise which gets you out-of-breath twice a week at least.
-Well, I probably get once a week, and walking home from school and up all those flights of stairs probably counts for something.
-There must be soem clouds in the sky outside, though, as it just went slightly dark.
-But now it's sunny again.
-I expect I'll spend today in much the same way that I spent yesterday afternoon.
-Oh, I almost forgot.

-Probably takes more time to complete than The Most Annoying Website In The World, or whatever it was called.
-Although the endings are different.
-Although I suppose that it might just be a trick...
-I don't have the patience to find out.

-Or at least, you can never see whatever's happening.
-Well, I'd best eat breakfast.

-Menacing Miscellaneous has been very quiet over the last few days.
-Which I think is good, because the only good threads (such as this one) don't go on the second page, and I don't need to check lots of new threads.
-I'm going to Helena's party today, until late, then sleeping at Aimee's.
-Should be okay/fun.
-My mum went out to buy us some honey, cream and French breadstick for breakfast.
-I think I have a sore throat coming on, because Aimee has one and yesterday I was with her all day.
-But the same thing happened last Friday and I didn't get one.
-Oh well, I hope I don't.
-I'll just have to "gargle" (well, I can't do it properly, but I can keep it in my mouth for quite some time) some warm saltwater because that's always been the best natural cure that my mum told me to do since I was little.
-I miss going to the theatre.
-Some years ago my mum and I (and occasionally family friends) used to go to the theatre all the time, whether it was to see fairytale plays, modern day plays, classics, ballets, operas, pantomimes or orchestras, it was always very fun.
-I want to have a French tutor or something because I want to learn more French.
-I love learning languages and French is just the best.
-And there's a lot of French in Farsi so it's easier for me to learn than it is for some others.
-Yay.
-This morning Tipsy woke me up by walking across my pillow and mewing.
-She did that all the time when she was little, but nowadays she's always out in the mornings.
-At least I got up early, thanks to her, else I would've been in bed right now, and I hate my laziness.
-My new school shirts finally came after over a month of waiting for them.
-We ordered them, you see, because they didn't have my size in stock.
-Eh, my throat still feels weird.

-And yesterday I played something called Sub-Machine (I think), which was a lot less complicated than I thought it would be.
-And I was going to replay The Dead Case, but I couldn't be bothered.
-I've just had lunch.
-I had pizza, and it was pretty good.
-I'd much prefer it if I had pizza for all my weekend lunches.

[Dante]

-Gods, it lookws awful outside.

-I guess it is an apple tree, but I've never actually seen many apples on it before.
-And there don't appear to be any others.
-This calls for closer inspection.
-To the window!
-Yep, looks like apples.
-Or roses.

[Antenora]

-I have a bad habit of pacing around when I need to think, so I take my pacing outside because it annoys people.

[Antenora]

-Those photos are cool, Dante.
-And that's a good photo of a rainbow, Deanna.
-I wasn't expecting my rainbow photos to look very good, because the photos I take of the sky usually don't work well.
-I had about half a dozen photos of the rainbow, and chose the two best ones.

-I've been too busy to come on 667 for the past few hours.
-I had a request to help with dinner sprung on me.
-I should have expected it, but last week my parents let me off for some reason, and I'd forgotten about it.
-And then Mother and I sorted out my bookshelves, which are now arranged much better.
-That's a cool photograph, Deanna.
-Your area looks pretty interesting.
-Or possibly I'm so used to my own area that anywhere else looks interesting.
-So, a webcomic which I like has been dead for about two weeks or more now.
-The current theory, which I find quite probable, is that the scriptwriter's had a baby.
-/child/youngling/brat.
-I just choked on nothing.
-I wish I'd had my camera with me that time I saw a double-rainbow.
-Or that time I saw a really clear rainbow.
-Actually, those might both have been the same occasion.
-I can't remember.
-Earlier, I solved a puzzle game which had had me stumped for months.
-Not that I'd been constantly playing it.
-I just kept on coming across it every once in a while, and it was only today that I figured out how it works, and how to win.
-The afternoon - or possibly the evening - has gone past really quickly.
-Probably because I was out for a while, and then had to make dinner, and then had to sort out my room.
-So it's really been a busy afternoon/evening for me.
-Tomorrow afternoon should be similarly busy, as I'm going out for a full walk and probably re-arranging more stuff in my room.
-However, I don't think I'll have as much stuff to sort out, and I won't have to help with dinner.
-I'm pretty thirsty.
-My mother and brother are doing some sort of homework on the table nearby.
-I think it involves a comic of some sort.
-About ghosts.

-I'm in some pain right now, too.

This is gonna sound a little obssesive.
Rocky Horror is boring if you just sit on the couch and watch it. So the night didn't end in fire and screaming but it was still terribly boring. Emily put the movie in so she didnt have to talk and I was so bored at the end that I started jumping on Ash and Devin.
They got a new dog named Blackjack and I was saying "hit me" and trying to get it to shake and "stay". How well does that work?
Then we went bowling, or rather we watched bowling while other people actually bowled and that was amazing.
The boy that was a better dancer than me basically prooved it and also that he's a better bowler.
My friend that ignored me last week didn't this week even though I was shamelessly mocking his bowling skills. I'm not an expert or anything but I think you want to hit the pins.
I like this song.
