Random Fact Thread

[Antenora]

-My computer froze when I tried to post earlier, and I lost everything I had typed.
-I'm not going trick-or-treating tonight, but staying home handing out candy.
-Mother has promised me that I'll still get candy.
-We bought Sweet Tarts, which I like, to hand out, and I'll get some leftovers.
-We also have chocolate.
-According to my horoscope, my Halloween alter ego is "a scary doctor or a sexy nurse".
-That's kind of funny, because when we discussed healthcare plans in Government last week, my group had to discuss the concerns of nurses.
-Today, we'll probably be discussing healthcare plans further.
-The time change yesterday really confused me.
-Last night, we had dinner early, and it was dark even then.
-I'll get used to this in a few days, though.

[Dante]

-At the time of writing, 667's font may have changed.
-Or, alternatively, I just don't recognise it.
-That happens to me sometimes.
-Now it's changed back.
-...Or has it?
-I think it had actually changed slightly for a minute.
-I might just be insane, though.
-Bah, there's too much dust in here.
-And now it's on my glasses.
-The dust made me sneeze.
-Anyway, I got home early from school.
-Mr. F. had to leave early.
-I had a pretty good day.
-Actually, what I really mean is "easy."
-I didn't really have to do anything.
-From Economics:
G: It's like I'm surrounded by pigs.
Me: I know the feeling.
-I guess the new dark evenings will be good for Halloween.
-My father and brother did indeed do the pumpkin themselves.
-And my brother was indeed off school today.
-I don't reallly like candy.
-I mean, I'll eat some if I get the opportunity, but I don't really care much for it.
-Now, what was I about to say?
-I've forgotten.
-Great.
-Well, I'm going to scout about on the Internet for something I found a while ago.
-Actually, I think I posted it in this thread.
-But this thread is so enormous now that I could never find it.

Edit:

-Oh, and nobody was dressed up for Halloween at school.
-Nobody even mentioned it.

[champ103]

-I wasn't at school today
-We get an extra week for half-term w00t
-I don't like halloween.
-I haven't seen the font change once.
-Weeeird.
-I wrote a new volume of 'Missing'
-Or more, I FINISHED one today
-That only happens every couple of weeks
-I like 'Missing', because I like 'Lost'
-Yay.

[Skeleton Key]

-It's halloween.
-I'm a zombie.
-My zombie friend dumped me to go with her pirate friend.
-I feel so alone.
-My heart hurts.
-I've never felt this way before.
-Is there something wrong with me?
-I'm so sad.
-Please tell me what's happening to me.
-I feel horrible that it's halloween.
-I should be happy.
-But I feel like crying.
-I have a feeling I won't enjoy trick-or-treating.
-Am I getting old?
-I'm ten. Is that too old?
-Please answer my questions, I understand lots of you are older, therefore smarter than I.

[Dante]

-The font change turned out to be because the font size on my computer was mysteriously flicking back and forth between two different settings.
-I've never been trick-or-treating.
-Maybe by the time I was no longer too young, I was too old.
-But I'm afraid I can't answer your other questions, Skeleton Key.
-I'm sorry that I can't help you.
-Hm, interesting.
-It seems that I do have some sort of feeling in my supposedly-numb lip.
-For example, while eating, some piece of food - I don't know which - suddenly provoked a moment of searing pain.
-Well, any feeling is good, I guess.
-And we had some trick-or-treaters earlier, but I didn't see them.
-If only I lived in a later time zone.
-It's awfully annoying when things that are supposed to update today don't do so until I'm asleep.
-Oh, look, some photographs of Halloween costumes.
-Say, nobody's offered me any pudding.
-Which is odd, as I actually want some today.
-Huh.
-Well, I guess I'll wait a while for somebody to be polite and offer, but if not, I'll have to ask myself.
-Oh, and I may have to do something on some website in accordance with some sheet we got in assembly.
-Bah.

[jemima]

-Will anyone wish me a Happy Birthday?
-Because today's my birthday.
-I think I'm not enough popular to get a birthday thread.
-But Epar made me a thread.
-Thanks Epar.
-I guess I'll just wish myself a happy birthday.
-Happy Birthday, Jemima.
-Wee!
-And a happy Halloween.

[Dante]

-Happy birthday, Jem.
-Here's something I just found:
-Pumpkin Simulator
-For anyone who didn't get to carve pumpkins themselves, such as me.
-Occasionally, I stumble across a game that I first stumbled across ages ago, and find that it's been updated.
-One in particular I have seen in several different forms.
-Someday it'll be finished...
-Maybe.
-And someday I may finally discover the code to access the GPS.
-If I mentioned earlier that I was looking for something I once posted in this thread, I can't find it.
-Which is a pity, as it had a really original feel.
-Also a tacky feel, but that contributed.
-The name of one of the lead characters inspired the name of the lead character in one of my stories, The End of the World.
-If only I could remember how I found it in the first place.
-Hm, I wonder...

[jemima]

-Thanks Dante.
-I've got a sliver in my finger
-It hurts.
-
-It'll go away soon, I bet.
-I want to buy War of the Worlds when it comes out.
-That movie was really good.
-All right, I better leave.
-Bye!

[Antenora]

-Happy Birthday, Jemima.
-It's also the birthday of someone in my Spanish class.
-We sang to her in Spanish, as we often do on these occasions.
-Someone at my school was dressed as a washing machine.
-I took photos.
-Iv'e seen something like the Pumpkin Simulator before.
-There's also something out there called the Rot-O-Lantern.
-You carve a virtual pumpkin and watch it rot, and I think it complains or something.
-I don't think you're old, Skeleton.
-667's font looks normal to me.
-If it changed at some point, I wasn't around for it.
-I'm learning to create programs that generate random numbers, in my Computers class.

Edit:
-I looked up "Rott-O-Lantern"(that's how it's spelled) and the site's apparently blocked on this school comptuer for being "tasteless".

[Dante]

-At lunchtime today, a few people mentioned to me the pain of having paper cuts or splinters under one's fingernails.
-I don't believe I've ever experienced that.
-Lucky me, I guess.
-I don't think we ever - or much - sang to people in French in my French classes.
-Which is odd, as it seems the sort of thing we'd have to do.
-I recall us learning the song, but not actually connected with anyone's birthday.
-Which reminds me.
-One of my old French teachers once brought her dog into school - a small, yappy little thing.
-She proceeded to shut it in a stationery closet for the duration of the lesson.
-Actually quite a spacious closet, I believe.
-That's probably the wackiest thing that I've ever seen in school French class.
-And I've probably mentioned it before, but long enough ago for people to have forgotten, or only dimly recollect.
-Heh, "tasteless."
-That's a new one.
-It reminds me of the Blocked image that shows up on the computers in my school if you go to a blocked site.
-It appears to be the hedgehog from those annoying road safety adverts (a torture which I suppose only the English would know), looking at a computer screen and then turning away with a shocked expression.
-At the rotting pumpkin's tasteless appearance, I suppose.
-My parents are now watching their favourite TV show.
-Huh, I never was offered pudding.
-And it might be too late now.
-I guess all of us forgot.
-And now I'm hungry.
-Or possibly I just like the taste, and so am imagining that I'm hungry.
-Oh dear, I just remembered what lessons I have tomorrow.
-English may be interesting, but more likely will be more and more of the same sort of thing.
-And in Maths, we might be doing a test.
-Or possibly that's next week.
-I'm not really sure.
-I just expect to have a boring day.

[Antenora]

-My school computers just block sites by redirecting you to a site called Websense.
-There's a message saying "Blocked by Websense" and something like "The Websense category "Tasteless" is filtered".
-I sometimes vaguely wonder what all of the Websense categories are, and which ones are blocked.
-Websense also blocks translation sites like Babelfish, for some reason.
-Someone in the library once mentioned that it blocked the KKK site, for being racist.
-I had to wonder why they were looking up that site.
-A boy in my Government class was dressed as the Pope.
-He was wearing a robe that appeared to be made from a couple of tablecloths, and a red cap(which I guess the Pope wears when he's not wearing his tall Pope hat).
-In Government, I had to say a few things about healthcare systems.
-And in Photography, we'll be doing our first project pretty soon.
-We'll apparently have to photograph things such as drops of water and close-ups of smiles.
-This evening, I think I'll wear my black velvet dress to greet the door.
-And maybe I'll do a little trick-or-treating, even if I just go around the block.

[glow=orange,2,300]- I've never carved even touched a pumpkin.
- I didn't get to trick or treat or hang out with Mary
- But when the trick or treaters came by, I didn't give much candy.
- More for me.
- Wait..
- I don't like candy!
-
- Oh well.[/glow]

-Hell no!!
-I'm going, and I'm older than ten.
-Why pass up a chance at free candy??
-I think you're officially too old by the time you're 20 or so.
-Cause I would be kind of freaked if a 20 year old came to my door with a sack of candy.
-ANYWHO.
-I'm going trick or treating fairly soon.
-I'm supposed to meet my friends Katelyn and Marie at 5:45.
-And it's 5:22 right now.
-I'm dressed as an ice fairy.
-YAY!
-I hope it's not raining outside.
-*checks out the window*
-Nope, it's not raining.
-It's windy outside, though.
-I hope my sparkly hairband doesn't blow away.
-Today at school my friends Josie and Karissa and I were killing ourselves laughing.
-I can't even remember what we were laughing at.
-But it was hilarious.
-Fun fun fun.

[SF]

-I'm still sick.
-At about 10 in the morning I got a really bad headache and had to get some ibuprofen from the nurse.
-I hardly got anything done at school, because I was sneezing and blowing my nose every 5 minutes.
-I posted a drawing of mine in AArt in my art thread, cleverly titled "SF's art"
- ;D
-*cough*
-I went over my friend Dawn's and she gave me candy, as I don't go trick or treating and she feels bad and therefore gives me candy and cookies.
-While I was there I met one of my new-er neighbors.
-Their kids are snots, and I want to set them on fire.
-*sniff*
-I'm charging my batteries for my digital camera.
-I need to clean up this loft.
-*looks around*
-It's a bit dirty.
-I had something to say, but I can't remember what.
-Ah yes, that's it.
-My teacher has started reading Lord of the Flies to our class.
-I know, I know, you all probably read that in 6th grade or something.
-Well, I'm not required to read any books besides religion based ones.
-I was planning on reading it anyways, but I'll probably end up re-reading it afterwards.
-If I start reading it while he's reading it in class my teacher will flip out.
-I really must clean up this mess and go to bed.
-G'night all.

[Dante]

-My second English teacher, Mrs. D., is still away.
-Although I hear she's recovering from whatever it is she's ill with.
-I need to have lunch.
-Heh, our pumpkin's outside, and it looks almost cheerful in the sun.
-In fact, I'm going to take a picture of it.
-Father says it's a rather cheerful pumpkin as opposed to a rather baleful pumpkin.
-I quite like the word "baleful."
-My English class this morning was fairly dull.
-We didn't do much.
-Maths this afternoon, however, may be far more terrifying.
-Trick-or-treaters only came to our house once last night.
-Although it was more evening than night.
-The weather's quite nice at the moment.
-I think our school computers use some blocking company that blocks stuff quite literally within seconds.
-A lot of Sixth Formers use the computers to play online games, and they're slightly annoyed that some of them are blocked.
-I don't understand why they like those Slime Sports games.
-Some people I know are holding real tournaments of those.
-They have Excel documents in which they record the results.
-I don't know if that's normal or not, but personally, I think it's going a bit too far.
-Anyway, time for lunch.
-And then I'll have to go again, although not too soon.

Edit:

-What's sixth grade?
-*looks up*
-11 to 12 years old?
-I only did it in class when I was...fourteen or fifteen.
-Although I had already read it some years before.
-My English classes have never involved much reading, which I quite resent.
-It means I have to do more of it in my own time, and time is so short.
