-This is just a guess, but I THINK--and I could be wrong--that Dante likes advertising Realtors in the Cave.

-Your point?
-When you write something, you want to make sure as many people as possible read it
-And the RFT is a good way to tell people about your stories
-Certainly, I never go into FF
-So it's a good thing
-I think I'll write that Zombie Story for Robert, now

Edit:
-Ooh, Lost is on tonight.
-Jack and Kate would make such a nich couple.
-And we get to see what happens when the thing gets to zero.
-*squee*

Jack is a manipulative bastard. I hate hteir scenes together and that people like him because he's the "nice" guy.
Lost did rock though.
And the dance party after Lost.

-I do post the link partially so that people like PJ will read the story.
-But I mainly do it to keep a record of my activities.
-And after I'd done it the first couple of times, then it would have felt incomplete not to do it for the rest.
-Speaking of which, I'm sorry to say that I've posted Chapter Six, the penultimate chapter, of Realtors in the Cave.
-On the bright side, there is only one chapter remaining.
-I've heard about the paper-folding thing, where you supposedly can't fold it more than seven or eight times.
-Remember our conversation on the topic, PJ, so long ago?
-I think it's partially because of the thickness of the paper.
-After a while, the edges just can't be flattened enough, and the paper's too thick to be bent at all.
-I saw a TV program where they had a giant piece of paper the size of a large room, and they brought in a miniature steamroller to flatten the edges.
-They still couldn't do it more than seven times.
-It's really grey here, and overcast.
-I can't see any break in teh clouds at all.
-And it's already getting dark.
-I'm glad I got to go home early today.
-My English teacher was in a meeting for most of the lesson, and she only came in five minutes from the end.
-Three people didn't even bother to come to the lesson, including the person I was walking with.
-The male:female ratio was 2:7 without them.
-And everyone kept on chatting, so I didn't get much work done because I couldn't concentrate.
-So I have to do most of it now.
-I might as well chuck my lousy partner out of my group.
-In fact, I pretty much have done that, since I was doing all the work anyway.
-I'm not actually too angry about it; I just feel that I should be.
-I'm meant to have a day off school the week after next on Wednesday, but my Government teacher says that we have to come in for our lesson anyway.
-Bah.
-There's one enormous module for my Government class which we probably won't have time to finish off this year, so we need all the time we can get.
-Teachers across the country complained so much that it's going to be reduced in size.
-Just a year too late for it to benefit me.

[Grace]

-Why does everybody love Lost?
-Maybe if I saw it I'd like it too.
-Still trying to find somebody to disguise myself as.
-Hmm...
-Ah well.
-Lauren better long on today.
-Ooh, I gotta idea!
-I know who I'll be.
-Byeas!

-Ah, yes
-Swans sent us warnings for going off-topic
-I still hold the grudge

-Heh
-So classic
-So
-I'm Antenora
-Would it be possible to somehow scam the mod password out, using her identity?
-I doubt it
-Hmmm
-Anyways
-It's very, very, very hot here
-34 Degrees, to be exact
-Sucks when it can be so much hotter here...
-Grr
-Stupid non-hitze frei policies
-In germany, if its 30 or more degrees, they don't have school
-Down here, 40 degrees and not even a free lesson
-Pff

Edit:
-Zombie Part II is out
-Yay
-Now go read, and write some other zombie fics

[Dante]

-Chapter Seven - The End.
-I didn't check most of 667 until I'd done my Maths homework.
-Some of the stuff I had to do I just could not figure out at all, so I'm going to ask my associates for help.
-The other stuff we started, though, is easy so far.
-I'm saying "stuff" to avoid clarifying precisely what I'm doing.
-Even I'm not sure quite why I'm doing this.
-I just like to be vague.
-The weather here's been miserable.
-It was cold, and raining heavily, when I walked into school.
-And dark.
-I don't think it's been bright at all all day.
-It's just been grey, grey, grey as far as the eye can see...
-Everything coated in damp, miserable, grim grey.
-I hope it improves (i.e. either gets sunny, or snows heavily) over the weekend.
-And how glad I am that it is a weekend.
-I need a rest.
-For some reason, this week's been hard on me.
-That reminds me, PJ.
-Occasionally, when it's very cold, some of my contemporaries have had protracted discussions with teachers about precisely what temperature it has to be for us to be allowed home.
-The answer is usually, "colder than this."
-And vice-versa for hot weather.
-We only get let out on cold days when the boiler's broken.
-Which hasn't happened for a while.
-Or when the road conditions are too poor for teachers to get in, or for the buses to get around.
-Which happens very rarely.
-Although we might have gotten a day off during some bus strikes...
-Or maybe we didn't.
-I think some people stayed home one day because they'd read there was going to be a bus strike, but then there wasn't one.
-Oh, and it was less reasonable than that made it sound.
-I should start joining in with these themes, but I can rarely be bothered to put in the effort after a school day.
-Maybe one of the weekend themes?

[Linda Rhaldeen]

-I was going to have this be my 1000th post, but I can't find any threads I want to post in.
-So now I'll have 999 posts.
-An upside-down 666.
-Yesterday's theme was great.
-I hope PJ doesn't mind that I impersonated him.
-And today's is pretty good too.
-Except my avatar is all weird-looking because I used two old scans and paint to make it.
-And "Dewit" sounds a bit strange.
-Oh well.
-I'd better get going.
-I have to do a bit of last-minute studying before my math quiz.

Edit:
-I found something to post right before I was about to leave.
-So now I have 1000 posts.
-Yeah me.

[SF]

-Well done, Linda
-It seems like I should have less posts than you....
-So it has been snowing for the better part of today
-Earlier it looked like a snow globe had been shaken up
-But it was outside...
-I got the car I'll be driving when I get my license last night
-I was playing around with all the different switches
-Andrew it coming over today
-Which is good
-I'm sorta to lazy to change my profile around

-Not at all
-I must admit, I WAS rather suprised to find that I had posted. I was all, wtf? When did I post that? But you turned out to be linda, not some alter ego of mine
-So it all turned out good
-I've seen the fourth HP movie
-T'was the best, so far
-In the "good" category, I'd say
-Well, homework calls
-So bye

[Dante]

-Well, it's the weekend.
-I'm glad.
-I've had a stressful week.
-Oh look, here's some scrap paper which I've done a bit of my Maths homework on.
-Good old quadratic formula.
-I think it's fun.
-There's also a map in here of a complex online game I recently discovered, and have since pretty much given up on.
-19 rooms out of 26 isn't too bad.
-Especially when two of them are slider puzzles.
-I can't do slider puzzles.
-Of any variety.
-Oh, breakfast's ready.
-So I guess I'll have to go eat that soon.
-It appears to be raining otuside.
-Yes, I'm pretty sure it is.
-And it's pretty grim in general.
-All dark and grey.
-And soaked.
-Well, time to make obscure references that make no sense to nearly everyone.
-Oh, Gutsy Radish.
-Only time will tell whether they can replant your severed head.
-And the Swiss police see a man throw a speed camera off a mountain, but they didn't see him knock it down and run over it repeatedly?
-Allegations that the Narnia film-makers have sold out (no surprises there)...
-Although the newspaper gave it five stars.
-58,000 Britions still watch black and white television...
-Cool, Siberian chipmunks.
-Wanted dead or alive.
-Well, I'd best go eat breakfast.
-Although I've suddenly started to feel a little ill.
-Well, I'm sure it will pass.
-It usually does.

[Grace]

-I've also had a stressful week.
-Though I was sick for three of the days.
-That was stressful.
-But especially the ****load of stuff I have to do now.
-6.5 hours of school a day, 5 days a week, and yet we still have to do it at home. Plus homework, plus homework on the weekend--it's very consuming.
-I'd do the math, but--wait, no I wouldn't.
-Going to see RENT today.
-With friends.
-I'm really late, but last weekend it was thanksgiving, and couldn't see it.
-Couldn't see it during the week besides the obvious reasons, also that I was sick.
-So everyone said it was good.
-My friend is a RENThead too, so she saw it yesterday.
-Both her parents work in B'way, so she gets to see lots of shows.
-She says she's seen, 10 maybe 20. She doesn't keep track.
-I've seen 7-10. I don't keep track either.
-But most of them are because of my acting camp.
-Thingamabobber.
-Yeah.

[SF]

-So I now weigh 121 lbs!!!!
-Huzzah for weight loss.
-Once I weigh 110 lbs, I'll be happy
-Last night was fun
-Andrew and I watched Gladiator
-Very good movie
-If you haven't seen it, I not only suggest, but command you to buy/rent it
-I'm going out to eat tonight for my brother's girlfriend's birthday
-We're going to olive garden
-I just attempted to curl my hair
-It didn't work
-Therefore I had to wash it and hope that it curls while I air dry it
-I should be leaving in T-minus 9 minutes

[Grace]

-I saw RENT just now.
-OMFG it was sooo good.
-Roger was hawt.
-And Rosario was annoying, which was a disappointment, because I thought she'd be cool.
-Jesse L. Martin was definitely the best actor.
-And Angel was rocking.
-I basically liked everyone. Except Mimi.
-Mark was pretty kl, and Benny was enjoyable. And hawt. Not really in this movie, but in other movies...
-Idina Menzel and Tracie Thoms were good, especially the former.
-Yzay! I <3ed it soooo much.

[Dante]

-Another day.
-There's plenty of things I planned to do yesterday, but didn't get around to.
-I hope I'll have more opportunity to do them today.
-Say, what is that on the lawn?
-A hedgehog, apparently.
-Quite possibly a dead one.
-Aw, now that's a real shame.
-Yes, I've received reports that it is indeed deceased.
-Aw.
-The weather's slightly better today.
-But only slightly better.
-Is it the 4th already?
-How time flies.
-I don't have a General Studies lesson tomorrow, so I won't be going into school until even later.
-Shame that I have to come in at all; it wouold have been nice if I could have stayed home for lunch, and just gone in for Economics in the afternoon.
-Anyway, I've lots to do!
-I've got to deal with maps and research, dungeons and crossovers, news and webcomics!
-There's always so much to do, and so little time.
-Although there wouldn't be so little time if people would stop getting in my way.
-I'm probably meant to be eating breakfast now, when I could be doing something different.
-And look, it's nine o' clock already.
-I only have thirteen hours left.
-There just aren't enough hours in the day.
-Although if there were enough, I'd probably have even more stuff to do.
-Rather like the brain being simple enough to understand.
-Hm, it's brightening up outside.
-And there's blue sky.
-Good.
-These mornings have been getting so depressing.

[Grace]

-This is probably the fastest-growing thread.
-Saw RENT.
-I <3 Adam Pascal.
-*fangirls*
-It's snowing here.
-Well, maybe not snowing, but there's snow on the ground.
-Saw Spellbound.
-Again.
-It's really weird and sometimes boring but okay.
-Yeaaah.
-My brother wants to see yours, mine and ours.
-I can't be bothered.
-It looks boring.
-It may as well be Cheaper by the Dozen III.
-There's two of them.
-Disney thinks they have to make two of everything.
-They don't.
-
