-There's Slime Soccer, Slime Basketball, Slime Tennis, Slime Cricket, Slime Volleyball, Flying Slime Volleyball, Slime Boxing (although that was glitched and didn't work), and probably many others.

[BSam]

i know the feeling, when i'm not being busy working anyway

[Dante]

-Yes, there is one where there are various powers.
-Some sort of super jump, invert ball, attract/repel, some other craziness...
-I find it really sad that I remember it when I've never even played the games, just watched.
-I've started reading Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent.
-Mainly because we don't have a copy of Heart of Darkness.
-Although we're ordering one.
-There are two shiny photograph frames on the processor next to me, showing pictures of happy families which aren't mine.

-They deserve it.

[Amber]

-I'm never really on MSN that much anymore.
-But when I do go online, no one I want to talk to is online.
-My luck, really.
-Anyway.
-I have my French speaking exam tomorrow.
-At least I'm talking to a tape recorder, not a teacher.
-I always get really nervous when they stare at you when you get a word wrong.
-I've got my prompt sheet, but the teacher never checked it.
-I'm pretty sure I'm sort of cheating.
-I'll make her check it before I do my tape.
-It's good because I have no work left.
-And my room is tidy.
-Though I should go to bed early tonight.
-I haven't been getting to sleep until really late.

-Considering I do actually get up late, it's not helpful.
-I got my new bed, at last.
-It's really fun.
-I'll photograph it soon.
-At school today, there seemed to be a lot birthdays.
-I got some good news though, I only have one practical PE theory lesson left.
-The teacher I have is awful.
-He actually told me and my friend, we'd missed the last lesson because we had to help out with the open day, that we'd be better off dead.
-Each lesson we make a list of what he has said and we'll write a letter and send it to the head of department.
-I'm really nervous about that test.
-And I have a Science exam in 16 days.

-Yowum.

[Charles Vane]

I'm pretty sure I love C-SPAN.
And C-SPAN 2.
C-SPAN 2 is probably more interesting because its the Congress.
Senators are totally catty.
The Arkansas senator talked forever and when she was close to getting done the New Hampshire senator tried to interupt but then she said hold on so when she finished he was like "Well we don't even have the bill in front of us, we never got it so we don't even know what this is about and she wouldn't let us interhect for just a moment to get the bill."
-He had an attitude.
-He's a freaking congressman and he's acting the way people except a seven year old girl to act.
-Then later he was like "Sorry we actually do have it at my table."
-The congress has more drama than expected.
I want Sark to hurry up and be on Alias.

[Antenora]

-My government teacher likes to have C-SPAN on in his classroom.
-I keep meaning to reread ASoUE, but I only like rereading the more exciting parts.
-Currently, I'm rereading the Chronicles of Narnia, which I haven't read in years.
-I'm hoping to see The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe whenever it's out, which I think is in December.
-In Spanish class today, we made guacamole.
-We were in groups, and each member brought in some ingredients.
-I had a lemon and a tomato.
-We went to the teacher's lounge to do the actual guacamole-making.
-Since I dont' like guacamole, I didn't do anything but chop tomatoes and eat a few chips.
-And someone brought in cake, so I had a little of that.
-I like class parties because they mean not having any actual work, and there's usually something I like to eat.
-I have an essay in Literature class.
-The first draft is due in a week, and I already have some stuff written down.

My dad likes to have Fox News on in his office.

One time some author who wrote a book about George Washington and graduated from my school came and taught a class and it was filmed as a C-SPAN special, and my sister's friend was in it a bunch of times.

I'm not a friend of meatloaf.
I didn't mean to say that but I guess it works.
I was a bit distracted.
Homework bad.

-At all.
-I'm having a pain in my stomach.
-I don't know if thats because I haven't eaten in more than 10 hours, and I'm hungry (which I don't feel like I am).
-Or if my stomach is just going chaotic
-I'm tired.
