Random Fact Thread

[A. the Returned]

-Well guys, I'm back.
-So I've had a hard week without internet access.
-It's just been so hard without people to speculate with online.
-I have friends at school who read it though so it wasn't too bad.
-I just read the entire Book 12 speculation thread.
-It's long.
-I think I'll leave looking at other sections until tommorrow.
-So I haven't got to say hi to Peej or Derik yet even though I was MSN last night and tonight.
-Why is it that people are never around when you want to speak to them?
-Oh well.
-So I got presents when my parents got back.
-And I had a pretty pleasant week with my grandma and aunty.
-We went to the movies, shopping, out for dinner and was just lots of fun.
-Also they live closer to school and I don't have to catch a bus so I got to sleep in.
-Well I have homework to catch up on.
-Goodnight.

[PJ]

-I just saw the first half of The Second Coming
-It's really, really, really good
-Firefly rocks, too
-I really should do my homework
-Strange noises from outside....
-Perhaps I am about to be shot in the head?
-If I do, I'll promise not to haunt you guys
-Though I might drop in once in a while
-What kind of a bird stays awake at this hour?
-Bleh
-I must sleep, soon
-So I joined this new writing forum, right
-And I made a really snazzy and cool introduction
-And, based upon it, some of the members have already asked the admin to ban me
-It's really, really strange
-I mean, sure, I DID say I'd start a flame war if the opportunity arose
-But this is a WRITER FORUM
-What kind of argument happens in a forum about stories teenagers write?
-Crazy n00bs

[Dante]

-I remember there being a lot of controversy when The Second Coming was broadcast.
-And I remember seeing adverts for it.
-I must've thought it was interesting, to remember that.
-But I don't think I ever saw it.
-Ugh, the mouthwash I have to have is awful.
-It's tainted my whole mouth for horus.
-And it's too hot right now.
-I went out for a walk with my father and brother just now.
-I took my camera, but I saw nothing extraordinary.
-No, mainly I just thought.
-There were quite a few people out there.
-If it remains hot in here, then I'm going to open the patio doors to let some cool air in.
-I can hear a plane of some sort.
-Say, PJ, can you copy-paste your snazzy introduction here?
-I'm interested in seeing it.
-Or you could just give us a link, as the whole situation sounds very amusing.
-I think somebody's moved this monitor to the right.
-I've moved it back now.
-There, that's much better.
-It's in the middle of the desk again.
-Now, has anything interesting happened to me recently?
-If it had, I'd probably have told you about it.
-Oh well.
-As soon as anything interesting does happen, though, I'll report it here.
-Maybe I'll take a false name and attempt to trick small children at school into giving me important information.
-But then again, what important information would small children know?
-Father's opened the patio door for me.
-I feel cooler already.

-Some people will argue about anything...
-I'm also interested in seeing this weird introduction of yours.
-Tricking small children into giving you information sounds like fun.
-Some small children know more than you might guess, or something.
-I learned the Spanish word for popcorn earlier.
-It's "palomitas" which literally means "little doves" or "little pigeons".
-I wonder why someone thought popcorn looked like doves.
-I often wonder where words come from in the first place.
-As it turns out, I don't have to revise all three of my essays.
-We only have to choose one, revise it, and turn it in tomorrow.
-I guess I'll pick the better of the two I've revised, or if I can't choose which is better, flip a coin or something.
-Mr B lectured us on the photo-developing process today.
-Tomorrow, I think he'll be demonstrating it.
-Sooner or later, we'll have our first real assignment in that class--photographing people.

[Dante]

-I'd flip coins more often, if I carried coins around.
-But I forget about them and lose them so easily.
-And I can't catch a coin after I've flipped it.
-I'm really awful at catching.
-And throwing, for that matter, although I think I'm slightly better at that.
-Although it's been a while since I've been required to throw or catch anything.
-[insert obligatory joke about catching colds]
-No, I generally just end up spinning pencils.
-Although occasionally I ask other people for coins.
-I give them back!
-Except for that "genius subsidy" that D. gave me.
-...And the second one.
-But he didn't expect those back, anyway.
-And they were only shiny, shiny pennies...
-Anyway, various things have been annoying me.
-Firstmost, it's been a long time since any decent point-and-click games came out.
-Why, the only decent stuff that's been out recently (that I can remember) is "Dark and Stormy Night" and Submachine: Extended Version.
-And let's face it, one of those is a kid's game which only has two merits: Good design and good navigation.
-I can't remember the last Room Escape that came out.
-And I've pretty much given up on expecting Pink Prison any time soon, or possibly ever.
-It's most dull.
-Still, at least I have my books.
-Speaking of which, next time I'm not busy writing, I should read something.
-Maybe I'll grab a book on Friday and spend the evening reading.
-The last time I did that must have been when I read Crime and Punishment.

Edit:

-The same applies to TV.
-There's just nothing to watch any more.
-And life - there's just nothing to photograph any more in any of the places I usually go to.
-I need something unfortunate, unrealistic or uncertain to occur.

[Antenora]

-It'd be nice if unrealistic things happen, as long as they weren't unfortunate.
-I don't often ahve to ask people for coins, because I usually have a few in my pockets.
-And at home, everyone leaves lots of coins lying around, so I can often find one for quick decision-making.
-Anyway, I flipped a coin for my essay, and the coin agreed with the choice I thought was probably better, so that worked out.
-Now I don't have any big homework-type things.
-There is an outside reading thing for Literature, though, that's due in a couple of months, and I should at least think about it.
-I think I'll read Pride and Prejudice, or Oliver Twist.
-I found some cool games a while ago, but I now don't quite remember what they were.
-Ah, here's one: www.trevorvanmeter.com/flyguy/
-Not so much a game as a time-killer, but pretty cool.
-I have some ASoUE fan art I should upload and post.

-That's the link
-Heh, the fools
-They get all jumpy because I said "damn"
-<<sigh>>
-I don't think I'll stay long in this forum
-Praps I shall move to another one
-...later

[Dante]

-The other Literature class in my year is reading Pride and Prejudice.
-Or is that the Language class?
-Oh wait, E. is doing both.
-I must have mixed them up.
-Anyway, I'm slightly jealous.
-I'd far rather read Pride and Prejudice than Waterland, which is truly dull and dismal.
-Anyway, I did indeed grab a book and stay up late reading it last night.
-It turned out rather too angsty, but the protagonist committed arson at the end, so I can't complain.
-That game is pretty neat.
-I like it.
-Heh, they really over-reacted to your introduction, PJ.
-Anyway, my grandparents are here, and we're going out walking soon.
-So I'm getting off now.
-I'll be back around lunchtime, -ish.
-For me, anyway.
-Who knows what time that will be for all you?

[PJ]

-Heh, they really over-reacted to your introduction, PJ.

-Yeah, the admin sent me this PM after corresponding a bit:
"I have stickies on many boards, because believe it or not PJ, some people do not read the rules in a rule board. I am not strict, I ask very little of my members. I am following PB TOS, and I will not break that which I signed. Rules are easy to follow, if you don't think you can follow the rules then you don't belong here. I am not saying you are incapable of this, I am sure you are a mature minded person PJ. All I ask is that you follow the rules okay?
A few people (not on this forum) have asked me to delete you from here, because they say your intoduction and believed that you would be a problem later. I refused to do so."
-I was telling him how it was stupid to have a stickied thread with the same rules in every single board
-And "damn" is a swear-word, apparently
-They'll probably ban me for saying "teh sex"
-Firefly is teh roxx0rz awesome
-I have masses and masses of homework for next week
-Read the german book
-Do the English Oral
-Prepare the Economics Portfolio
-Do Prac 5 Planning A and B for chem
-And Practice for the Chemistry assessment
-<<sigh>>
-I feel good
-Perhaps its Firefly and The Second Coming, but I dunno
-I'm currently writing a story about the Second Coming
-But from the point of view of the reincarnation of John the Apostel
-Her name is Jean Bapist
-Heh
-And she can summon kick-ass demons
-Thrown in an immortal or three, and a quest, and you have a story
-I might even make a series
-One about John
-Two about Jesus
-Three about the last battle
-Nice little series
-Perhaps an allusion to my Nothingness Series
-Or two
-Chocolate Wafers are yummy
-Damnit, I seem to keep missing Akbar, Derik and A. when they are online
-A.'s been back since Wednesday, but I haven't spoken to her
-And Akbar and Derik are nowhere to be found
-Now, to read my book!
-Porcelain by Moby is the best
-No, really, its a really, really, really good song
-And so I end my post

[Antenora]

-That was an interesting introduction and response, PJ.
-It seems that forum wasn't ready for you...
-Your story idea sounds pretty interesting.
-And I've liked your previous stories.
-I had a weird night.
-First, I woke up feeling sick.
-Then, when I fell back asleep I had some pretty strange dreams.
-They involved my grandparents, a supermarket full of neon signs, aliens, and an ominous voice that I couldn't understand.
-In my literature class, we're reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
-We're currently going over it in class, which is helpful because the book's writing style is a bit confusing.

[Dante]

-I can't even remember the last dream I had.
-I think I'll probably read another book today.
-I feel like reading at the moment, rather than just hanging around on 667 and writing.
-Of course, I'll probably end up forgetting about it until late, and then I'll stay up late reading again.
-I really shouldn't do that.
-Still, I don't think I'm doing anything tomorrow.
-My grandparents got me and my brother some Halloween ornaments.
-My brother got a little pumpkin lamp.
-...Which may be broken.
-And they got me a little paperweight-thing which is a pumpkin, with a spring on top, and a ghost atop that.
-...Which may be broken.
-Still, I like it.
-I wonder when Mother will be home.
-Now, apparently.
-The sky looks grey here.
-And it started raining not long after we'd finished walking.
-And it turns out I'll be out for a lot of the day on Sunday.
-Oh, and I realised that I should probably revise for some tests that I have next week, or possibly the week after.
-I can't actually remember whether I have a test in Economics or Government, or both.
-I guess that's one of the disadvantages of having the same teacher and the same room for both subjects - one mixes them up.
-Or at least, I do.
-And my memory's pretty poor anyway.

[Amber]

-667 has been quiet for a while.
-Ah well.
-I just got back from holiday today.
-I went with my friends and it was fun.
-We went up the Spinnaker Tower.
-The view was amazing, even though it was quite cloudy.
-I'm sure I should be doing something.
-Never mind.
-I haven't got much work to do.
-Just typing up a few pages of notes.
-I'll get more when I go back to school.
-But having a break is nice.
-I cleaned my room before I left, so my room is still neat.
-Ennui hasn't been online is a while.
-I hope he's not hurt, or ill.

[Antenora]

-I think Ennui's avoiding 667 till he can get Book 12, and because he's busy with other things.
-He said he was going on a self-imposed exile, as some people did to avoid B12 spoilers.
-I had a fairly good day at school.
-Mr B demonstrated how to develop photos, using various chemicals.
-I'm looking forward to developing film myself, but I worry that I"ll forget everything he's explaining to us.
-Later, I had a Government quiz.
-Those are always hard, and this one had several questions we'd never discussed in class.
-I've read that the average person has four dreams every night.
-I don't believe that, because I never remember having more than one dream.
-Then again, I might be getting bits of several dreams mixed up into one.

[Dante]

-I've been past the Spinnaker Tower a few times.
-My family eats dinner in a restaurant very close-by while we wait to catch the ferry to France.
-It's always been under construction while we've been there, though.
-I think.
-We probably wouldn't go up it, though.
-Heights make all of us rather uncomfortable.
-Ennui's been online a few times recently, but he hasn't posted.
-I notice him occasionally.
-Father's badgering me to eat breakfast.
-I also need to revise for my Maths test a little more.
-And I may have an Economics test on Thursday.
-Or at least, if I do have an Economics test, I hope it's on Thursday.
-As I won't be in school that morning, so I'll miss it
-Gr, so much for the case being closed on Friday.
-Although maybe it's still Saturday in some distant parts of the world.
-Still, that's no excuse unless you live there.
-I finally managed to take a picture of a magpie yesterday.
-It's all blurry, though.
-Still, it demonstrates that their psychic ability to know when I'm going to take a picture so they can fly away mere seconds before doesn't always work.
-On this occasion, the magpie flew away several seconds after I'd taken the picture.
-The sky's grey out here, and the weather's dull again.
-The weather has been all over the place this week.
-Torrential rain for a few days, then bright sun and sweltering heat another, and then grey indecision the next...
-It doesn't want to settle.
-Anyway, I'd best go eat breakfast before my parents complain again.

[SF]

-So I haven't posted in here for a while.
-I have been grounded for a week.
-Before that I wasn't posting in here because I was working on a longest post.
-Right now, I'm too lazy to even continue working on it.
-It takes so much time for me to do.
-So it has been raining all week.
-It's getting a bit ridiculous.
-Here is a picture I took out of the car window (it has the said rain on it)

-I went on a field trip yesterday
-It was good
-I'm very tired
-I was up until one a.m. last night.
-I saw March of the Penguins with Andrew and my mother last night.
-It's a documentary gone big.
-It wasn't very... eventful.
-I wouldn't suggest seeing it.
-I'm very tired.
-I've been catching up on 667 for more than 2 hours.
-All I've eaten so far is ice cream, and it is 1:30 here.
-I find that funny.
-Yet I am not laughing.
-In Dante's post he talks about it still being Saturday in some parts of the world.
-It is Saturday here.
-I don't know how that works, as I think Dante is just 6 hours in front of me, so it would be 7:30 there.
-I'm too tired to analyze this any further.
-My dad is watchin Nascar.
-Bleh.
