-Lately I haven't been eating a lot anyways, without being sick
-Well, I don't have much else to say, I think I'll go check on some other sections.

[deanna.]

-I feel like sending e-cards to people.
-Maybe I'll send e-cards to random 667 people and creep them out.
-Yes, that sounds fun.
-Waah, my brother and sister went bowling without me.
-I wasn't invited to their 'bowling party'.
-Ah, well.
-They suck anyways.
-*sour grapes*
-But not really.

[Dante]

-Well, it's raining really heavily outside.
-But I had a good Bonfire Night yesterday.
-The cake was delicious, the fireworks were attractive, and the bonfire burned merrily for hours.
-I had a pretty good time.
-I'm sorry about your ProBoard being deleted, Linda.
-It's strange how harsh they are over such a pointless rule.
-I thought they were meant to give a warning before deleting a ProBoard if it was only a minor violation...
-I'm sure I read something like that on Support once, in a thread about ToS violations.
-As usual, I'm meant to be eating breakfast as I type this.
-This seems to be true most days.
-I guess it is mid-morning already.
-But nobody in the house got up until long ago.
-I don't have much to say right now.
-Except that fireworks have weird, inaccurate names.
-And that Father has inexplicably put a branch inside the base of the washing-pole, so it looks like we have a tiny tree growing in the middle of the lawn.
-Which would actually be a fairly interesting place to have one.
-I wonder if there's anything good on TV right now?
-Probably not.
-But I might as well go look.

Edit:

-Actually, I saw a little of a political show.
-Several individuals were discussing today's newspapers.
-And there was a political cartoonist on, talking a little about his work.
-It was fairly interesting.
-They also mentioned the pirates who attacked that cruise liner recently.

-*gaspeth*
-Random Fact Thread was on the second page!!
-It's a travesty!!
-A scandal!!
-Okay, not really.
-So.
-It's 4:35 p.m. where I live.
-I'm going to Mass at 6:00.
-w00t.
-I have Britney Spears stuck in my head.
-Most unfortunately.
- I have a Mardi Gras necklace wrapped around my wrist.
-It's purple, and the beads look like little dice.
-My parents got it for me when they went on a bus trip to Reno, Nevada.
-And they got me a tshirt and a water bottle.
-My brother got these little dice that say 'Jon's Casino' on them.
-I want personalised dice.
-So I can roll myself all over the place.

[Charles Vane]

-I get to go to bed at 10.
-I'm beyonf excited I didn't even expect to be home before 10:30.
-The show finished early, it's confusing but I rock the sound board. Or the sound board book since seniority will always prevent me from solely running the board.
-Today one of my closest friends at school was late to practice because she got in a car accident.
-I think I freaked more than I should have but managed not to show that to her.
-I'm going to lose it before this week is over.
-On the bright side I think I'm going to make a t-shirt that says something like "Sound Crew: Teaching Sex Education since 2002."
Speaking of that I have to remember that we need more condoms.
I love shows.

[Dante]

-I had a medical appointment this morning which I'd forgotten about.
-Anyway, everything's fine with me.
-Apparently, I've been consistently losing weight for the last year.
-Now I am being encouraged to eat more.
-So now there's no excuse for denying me a second helping of cake.
-...Even though that's never happened.
-Dark already?
-It's not even five o' clock.
-*shakes head* Winter.
-Also, I have a new book, which I quite like.
-And this morning, although I missed General Studies, I am told that it was even more of a waste of time than usual.
-And we had a presentation encouraging us to go on gap years and help poor communities, and stuff.
-I don't really care for going away, myself.
-If I could, then I would become a complete recluse.
-Well, more so.
-What are these distant tones that arrive at my ear?
-'Tis somebody mowing the lawn in the dark!
-Well, I guess at the moment, it's dark most of the time.
-I think I've gone off-track somewhere here.
-I've got no homework.
-I don't know if I've mentioned that or not.
-Economics was easy, too.
-Although Mr. F. says that he's going to start throwing out people who talk too much.
-I'm not sure if he means forever, or just for that lesson.
-I'd quite like to get photographic records of my teachers, but I don't think cameras are allowed in school, and I'm pretty sure some of my teachers wouldn't let themselves be photographed.
-Mr. F. probably would, and Mr. E. and Miss B. might.
-But Mr. B. seems the sort to confiscate the camera for the rest of the week - I understand that that's the policy for any electronic device brought into school, although I'm not sure if that still applies to Sixth Formers - and Mrs. D. would probably be really sarcastic about it, if she was actually here.
-I wonder if my parents have sent our Amazon order yet.
-Probably not.

[Sixteen]

-I got a headache in school today.
-Then when it went away it started to rain.
-That scared me.
-Mainly because I think I'm getting my mother's family "curse".
-All her side of the family get headaches before heavy rain.
-But they're not normal headaches.
-They're special rain-predicting ones.
- I know it's crazy.
-But it's true.
-When my aunt wakes up with a rain-headache, she can predict the exact minute of when it will begin.
-I don't want to be a freak
-Stupid genes.
-I have to write up my first CV for homework today.
-And I'll have a video interview next Tuesday, to prepare me for real interviews.
-And then I'll have my DATs (aptitude tests) the following Thursday.
-Then on the Saturday, I have to do my 26km walk for my Gaisce (President's Award).
-I have a busy November schedule.
-Well, I better get started on my Curriculum Vitae.
-Hehe, I love saying that.
-Vitae, vitae, vitae...

[Antenora]

-My Spanish teacher confiscates things from students sometimes.
-If you're caught using a cell phone in his class, he'll take it and put it in a box, and you won't get it back for a week(I think).
-Speaking of which, I had to program some numbers into my cell phone yesterday.
-I also set up a voice-mail thing, and somehow I already had three voice mails.
-One of them went something like "We're having dinner without you. Oh well, I'm tired of waiting..."
-Another sounded like someone yelling angrily and running, or possibly playing the drums, and the third was just a few seconds of whispering and static.
-I guess those were either wrong numbers, or messages from another dimension.
-Somebody's covered the windows of this classroom with yellow paper.
-I don't like it, as I liked looking out the windows at the hills.
-I did see Zorro yesterday.
-It was pretty good, although I thought it was too long.
-Father had a fun time pointing out all the historical facts the movie got wrong(for instance, that there were no railroads in California in 1850, when the movie takes place, and yet there are several chase scenes involving trains).
-In a few days, I'll be checking out a camera from Mr B and starting on our first photography project.
-I'll have to photograph a drop of water, which should be a fun challenge, as well as various things including an Exit sign and an unusual-looking fruit or vegetable.

[Dante]

-The wrist I broke feels... uncomfortable again.
-Which is unfair, as I haven't even been doing much typing.
-Maybe it's like your family curse or blessing, Sixteen, and feels odd whenever something something is about to happen.
-My father likes films with plenty of swash and buckle, not to mention swashbuckle, so he'll probably want to see the new Zorro film at some point.
-Maybe.
-I wonder what I'm doing on Wednesday?
-Well, I suppose I have more pressing concerns at the moment.
-For example, the Maths test tomorrow.
-I'm not worried about it yet, but I'm slightly worried that I'm not worried, as I'm sure I should be worried.
-I think the only reason I'm worried about many tests and such is because everyone else is, and I get the impression that I should be, too.
-I have around a quarter of my book left, unless it has more or less pages now than it did earlier.
-Several books I've read have indeed been longer or shorter when I've finished them, so I would not be at all surprised.
-It looks like there's more than a quarter left, for example.
-It seems like a while since I've taken any photo -
-Oh, my mistake. I took some thirty-six photographs just two days ago.
-Although that was a special occasion - I was home, rather than out somewhere.
-And I seem to have photographed everywhere, or everything interesting there.
-Oh well.
-Maybe I'll go somewhere else interesting soon.
-Although that's unlikely.
-Odd how I've lived here for years, but only recently gotten extraordinarily used to, and bored by, many of the places around me.
-That's probably one of those comments to which the answer - although it's not a question - is "That's life."
-Life - a kick in the shins, a book that's less interesting the more times you read it...

[deanna.]

-Aww, Dante.
-Uncomfortable wrists suck.
-I sprained my right wrist a couple weeks ago.
-I've never broken a wrist before, though.
-My sister's broken her left one once and her right one twice.
-Grr, I have to do my homework.
-Too bad I don't have a dog I can feed it to.

[jemima]

-I'm procrastinating like Char right now.
-I have to read Ender's Game, do dang Algebra, and Science. And study for three quizzes tomorrow.
-And I was very tired today.
-Plus, I had to get allergy shots today, and they, for some reason, hurt a lot more than they usually do.
-Overall, today was a horrible, terrible, bad, bad, bad day.
-Gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Fortunately, I have two half days this week.
-And on Saturday, I'm going down to Detroit to see Cats with my family.
-Should I wear my Cats costume to it?
-Nah, everyone would look at me.
-The tickets I bought on Ticketmaster were a lot of money.
-A lot.
-I had to pay back my mom with all of my birthday money.
-Ah, well, I'll get it back someday.
-Does anyone on here live in Detroit?
-It's a big city.
-From what I here, it's bigger than some cities in Ohio.
-And where I live.
-Well, anyway, I better start that gosh darn dang homework.
- >:-(
-So anyway, I better go.
-Bye, see you guys tomorrow.

[Antenora]

-At the moment, I guess I'm procrastinating.
-I should study for an upcoming Government quiz, but I think it can wait.
-I worry so much about those quizzes that I sometimes actually find it hard to study.
-Is there a word for the opposite of procrastination--doing all of your work as quickly as possible, and then slacking off until it's due?
-That's pretty much what I did with my essay, which is due tomorrow.
-I finished it all last Friday.
-I might look over it tomorrow morning, though, or something.
-"Swashbuckling" is a cool word.
-"Swash" means "to swing a sword" and "bucklers" are a kind of shield.
-I've seen some of my grades, and they're mostly B's.
-I don't know what my grade in computer programming class is, though.
-As far as I know, I've gotten full credit on all of our projects.
-I have a C+ in Government class ,and it'll probably be hard to bring that up.
-That grade's based only on the quizzes and class participation.
-We've done a lot of work that won't actually be added to the gradebook for quite some time.

[Grace]

-Everyone procratinates. Especially me. Hehe.
-Wow, I just sounded really weird.
-Eh, whatever.
-I saw Family Guy last night.
-Anyway...
-I just looked up at Antenora's signature and I don't get it at all.
-Except the 2 pictures.
-I played tennis yesterday.
-And football today.
-I'm SPORTY!
-Naw, I'm not.
-But tennis was hell fun.
-And football, wasn't because nobody passed.
-To me, it's like Ultimate Frisbee (my <3) except less fun.
-And I'm much better at UF.
-Gym is alright though because we play games.
-Unlike Deanna who has to have a test.
-Which is dumb, for Gym.
-Byeas!

[deanna.]

-Stupid gym test.
-I wish we got to play Ultimate Frisbee.
-Last year, our P.E. teacher set up a Disc Golf course all around the school grounds.
-It was pretty cool.
-Me and my friend Jennie won.
-But we have a new P.E. teacher this year.
-And he makes us go outside in Antarctic conditions to play football.
-*hiccup*
-I hiccup at random intervals of the day.
-And I hiccup really loudly and weirdly, too.
