-Well, I'm neither on the top posters list nor a moderator.
-*sulk*
-Today was my birthday.
-It wasn't a big deal or anything.
-I just came back from eating cake and opening presents with my family.
-For presents, I got a good camera (I have a digital camera, but I wanted an SLR to take black & white pictures with), The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, some supposedly humorous cat book that doesn't look very good, Hello Kitty playing cards, and an electronic chihuahua.
-The last two were sort of...filler gifts.
-And the last was more for my dog.
-Oh, and there was some stuff from Amazon.com that hadn't arrived on time.
-Don't Panic, by Neil Gaiman, The Deeper Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams, and one or maybe two more that I don't remember.
-The cake was good, although a little too sweet.
-My mom had the people at the bakery put a V.F.D. insignia on it.
-Yes, that's right.
-It came out pretty well.

-Oh, my goodness, that's just about the coolest thing I've ever head of.
-Also, happy birthday!
-I didn't have school today, huzzah.
-My family and I went out to lunch, and then up to a rather rustic town where a music store is located so I could get a new oboe reed.
-A llama farm was supposed to be on the same road as the music store, but it turns out that it was sold about a year ago.
-*mourns*
-After that, we brought my grandmother some soup because she is ill, and we then went to see my grandfather's headstone at the cemetery. It was put in last week.
-I'm rather angry because the people that I usually talk to online mysteriously disappeared this evening.
-It's cold, even though I've wrapped myself in a blanket.
-The blanket only allows me to type with one hand.
-I'm not too angry, though, because Phantom of the Opera music is playing. (:
-I hope that Snicket Face doesn't kick me off 667 Factor.
-I am having a very difficult time evaluating whether my voice is good or bad.
-I'm leaning towards bad.
-Meh.
-"Say you love me..."
-"Know I do..."
-Would anyone like to send me money so I can actually go see Phantom of the Opera? I'll give you muffins!

-Only time will tell
-I still haven't listened/looked at some of the entries due to my limited internet access, so I have no idea who I'm going to kick off
-I was just on the telephone with Andrew for a few hours
-I have more to talk about, but no time....

-PJ, your threats remind me of something I said yesterday.
-Or rather, two things.
-The first thing was that algebraic long division, if written within a pentagram, would cause the earth to split open, and thousands of demons would pour out from the abyss to ravage the world.
-The second thing was when I was accused of stealing another team's money when playing Poleconomy in my Government class.
-"Yeah, that's right. I stole it. And you know what? I stole everything else, too. I'm actually a time traveller, and every theft in all of history was actually committed by me."
-Lousy J.C.
-Everyone hates him, except for about two people.
-I think I'm pretty near the top of the Top Posters list, as well as being a moderator.
-Not that anyone knows any more, since the Top Posters list has been disabled since v4 was brought in.
-Quite possibly forever.
-Which is another reason to take a strong dislike for ProBoards.
-It's even more annoying because without ProBoards, this forum wouldn't exist.
-Anyway, happy belated birthday, Curio.
-Sounds like a neat cake.
-My birthday's coming up in around a month, so I may ask for something like that.
-Although my cake will probably be home-made.
-Unless it's not.
-I can't even remember when I first got on it.
-I think that only two or three people had over 10,000 posts at the time.
-Now it's been so long that there are quite a few members with over 10,000 posts, although some of them have deleted their accounts.
-There's a llama/alpaca farm not far from where I live.
-It looks quite pleasant outside this morning.
-It's sunny, and the sky is clear.

[Grace]

-This laptop is burning my knees.
-Plus I got rug burn, so...it hurts.
-What are the rules for cursing here?
-Maybe I should look for it in the rules.
-It'd be a good idea.
-OMFG I have a new crush!
-I. am. such. a. prep.

-Pretty neat
-I didn't know anyone, but it was fun
-Though the movies he picked sucked
-I mean, honestly, who picks a movie titled "Pteradactyl"?
-"The Breed" was a lame vampire movie

-*shakes fist*
-Meh
-My list of books I want grew some more
-John Marsden's new book in the Tommorow Series is out
-Well, actually, it's now called the "Ellie Chronicles"
-But still
-Woa...I must be tired
-Its doing the crazy thing were everything else goes kinda blurry
-And I'm super focused on this tiny text box
-And the letters are really small...
-It's like I'm leaning forwards, staring at the box....but I'm not
-*psychadelic*
-And I'm off

-I didn't know about that story.
-It looks like it was completed just a few days before the first time I visited Chaotic Creativity as a new member.
-I'm reading it now.
-Though I probably won't have time to finish it today.

-Oh yes
-You'll want to read Abyss
-And Divided, too

-But yeah, you guys should read them

-I think I got lost at an Ikea furniture store once.
-We were shopping for a new bed for me, and I wandered off and waited someplace.
-I remember going to the furniture store and climbing all over the beds there.
-I was pretty young at the time, but I don't remember just how young.
-And I once had a nightmare about getting lost in a furniture store which had a giant slide in it, which I fell down, or something.
-Last year, my family celebrated Daniel Handler's birthday.
-We had a little tea party, complete with the sugar bowl.
-We had chocolate squares with the VFD insignia drawn on them in shiny green icing.
-I don't remember if we had a cake, though.
-Speaking of cake, we've got some good cake for dessert.
-I just got back from a restaurant.
-My sister's doing some project about the Constitution, and she's actually using my Government textbook.
-It has some information she needs, about court cases relating to the amendments.
-And if she's studying from the textbook, she won't take the computer all the time.
-I think I'm getting a cold.
-Earlier, I had a fairly bad cough.

[Dante]

-Yeah, I felt like mentioning The Abyss..
-I'd been re-reading it, you see.
-Or at least, I'd been re-reading the comments.
-I felt like looking back on it, for some reason.
-I had fun writing that.
-I don't think I've ever gotten lost inside a store of any sort.
-Or anywhere, for that matter, although I could be wrong.
-My memory isn't reliable.
-I do remember the last time we went to a furniture store, though.
-When we got back, there were flash floods.
-I remember there was water flowing out of the manholes, pouring down the streets...
-We had to avoid some roads as the water was too deep.
-It's been a while since that happened around here.
-Hm, it's the 13th.
-We should find out who won that Egmont Nameless Novel competition sometime soon.
-Within a week, I'd guess.
-Unless they're not actually going to make any public announcement about the winners or anything, which would be pretty irritating.
-Some family friends are coming over to my house for lunch today.
-I really dislike having guests over for lunch.
-Or at all, really.
-I'll have to talk to them, probably.
-And I've got to bake them a cake.
-I wish my parents wouldn't just randomly invite people just because they happen to be nearby at the time.
-Most mornings, I feel like I'm getting a cold.
-But I know that I probably won't get one for about a month.
-Because that's when the Christmas holidays start.

Edit:

-Puzzled 1
-First Room Escape game in ages, and it's another one of these rubbishy ones.
-Well, it gave me something to do.

Edit Again:

-Good news: I didn't have to bake a cake; Mother did that.
-Bad news: The family friends came about fifteen minutes early.
-Trivia: They weren't who I was expecting them to be. I am awful at keeping track of my relatives/family friends.
-They're okay so far, though.
-I just don't want to have to speak to them much, as I never know what to say, so I feel rather uncomfortable.

[Grace]

-The actual playing time in a Major League Baseball game which lasts about two and a half hours has been clocked at 9 minutes and 55 seconds.

-Cause I saw a lot of swearing.
-The rules say none at all but different mods have different rules.
-I'm a Renthead.
-Which means I like Rent.
-I can't wait for the movie.
-I was [mad] when it was postponed.
-Malaysians protect their babies from disease by bathing them in beer.
-You are more likely to be struck by lightning than you are to be eaten by a shark.
-But what about wounded? *raises eyebrow*

[Amber]

-The Abyss was awesome.
-You should write more, Dante.
-I've been pretty busy this week.
-On Thursday night I broke two toes.
-I got jumped on and they just crushed.
-I couldn't feel it to start with, but when I got home and took my shoe off it was horrible.
-I really shouldn't be so frail.
-At school, in year 7 someone pushed me and my rib broke.
-I've broken so many bones.
-All of the ones in my arms and legs and quite a few ribs.
-I need to sort out my work experience.
-We need to hand the forms in on Friday and I still don't know what I'm doing.
-Where I live there is almost nowhere for me to go.
-I'll probably just end up in a shop.
-Ugh.
-But it's so quiet here it'll be really boring.
-I want to move to somewhere more fun.
-The year I leave school my parents said I might be able to go on holiday with my friends.
-We'll go somewhere fun.

-Well, I guess you're frail
-That's pretty ridiculous
-Someone hasn't been drinking their milk
-*wags finger*

-So I'm home!!!
-In a little over a week, I have traveled over 2,200 miles
-Which is pretty ridiculous
-And for the bad news...
-My computer has crashed
-*SIGH*
-I hate my computer
-Second time within a month or two
-I'm on my dad's right now
-It's rather slow
-I think I'm going to have to take time out of my lunch break tomorrow at school, and sort out all the entries for The 667 Factor, and pick who I'm going to boot off
-How troublesome
-What a horrible time for my computer to crash
-Darn thing
-I'm tired
-I have a bit of homework to do before tomorrow
-*gets aggravated that her computer crashed*

[Antenora]

-I drink a lot of milk.
-My parents have never bothered with silver cribs and diapers sewn from silk, though.
-I've never actually broken a bone, but I bruise easily and I've sprained my ankles many times.
-That's a cool avatar you have, Snicketface.
-I saw the movie Zathura today.
-My sister wanted to see it, so Father took her, and I went along because I was vaguely interested.
-It was a fairly good movie.
-It wasn't really my sort of thing, but it wasn't bad, and the special effects were pretty neat.
-My sister liked it a lot, though.
-My computer seems to crash pretty often.
-Most of the time, it just loses the internet connection for a moment and has to be restarted.
-But occasionally, it completely freezes and you have to unplug the mouse and do tricky things like that.
-Tomorrow, I'll hopefully be checking out a camera in Photography class, so I can get started on the first assignment, which is due sometime off in the indefinite future.
