-While waiting, I was turned facing the wall (and towards my brother's girlfriend) and heard someone say my name, and turned around to find my friend Carolyn standing behind me
-I haven't seen her in quite a while, and screamed "Carolyn [insert last name here]!!!"

-Last night wasn't the best night in my life
-By any means

-Here are real random facts, instead of bloggish posts.
-Oysters change their gender throughout their lives. They start out male and end female.
-Oysters make pearls when a grain of sand gets stuck between their mantle and shell.
-Oysters are bivalves, which are mollusks.
-Phytoplankton are the most important sea organisms.
-They produce oxygen for us.
-Zooplankton (animal-like plankton) eat phytoplankton.
-Plankton on Spongebob Squarepants looks nothing like real plankton.

[Dante]

-I think I knew some of those exciting oyster facts.
-I definitely knew the one about pearls.
-And I once knew how to tell a real pearl from a fake pearl, although I can't remember now.
-I found out either in an Agatha Christie story, or a P.G. Wodehouse story.
-I'm confused because the former was named Agatha and wrote a lot of books, and the latter had a character called Agatha who once had a valuable necklace stolen from her.
-Or some such.
-And that might have been a different aunt.
-But anyway, I like P.G. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie's books.
-Anyway, here I am.
-I got up late today, as I don't have General Studies.
-Meaning that I have yet another hour to spend at home.
-If I didn't, then I'd have to leave in ten minutes, quarter of an hour.
-Pity that I don't get to stay at home until the afternoon, but that's that.
-It's pretty cold.
-And there's a blue sky, with a few white fields of cloud in the distance.
-It doesn't look particularly grim today, although it could look nicer.
-Here's some random stuff off a piece of paper which I have used to scribble notes about various online games since... probably the earliest pages of this thread.
-xk3v2
-I think that was an ID code.
-1 Red 2Y 3G 4P 5B 6
-It turned out there wasn't a sixth.
-And what does this say?
"-NOT jeaves."
-Jeeves?
-Jeans?
-Some times...
-Oh, and there's another instance of the ambiguous NOT message.
-Oh, that was from a logic puzzle.
-Anyway, I don't expect to be doing much today.
-I have an assembly, but I don't know what about.
-And in Economics, we're starting on the next topic, which my teacher has optimistically described as "very boring."
-Still, only a couple of weeks now until I get a break.

[Dante]

-Well, it's my usual Tuesday lunchtime at home.
-I've had a pretty easy morning.
-Hopefully, this will continue into the afternoon.
-It's occurred to me that in my set text, the first 10 chapters take up one hundred pages, but the remaining 40 chapters take up two hundred and fifty.
-The book is pretty unbalanced.
-Anyway, I had fun in my English Literature lessons.
-I had numerous opportunities to patronise educate my contemporaries.
-Which is alwasy fun.
-Oh, now it's sunny.
-But on the way into school it was raining, and on the way back home it was grey and dull.
-And I thought somebody was following me, but then they vanished.
-They probably weren't following me.
-They didn't have their head concealed or anything.
-But then again, maybe it was a double-bluff.
-It's not looking like there'll be any snow around here for Christmas, considering we only got a light dusting in the recent "cold snap."
-There's still a couple of weeks, but I expect disappointment.
-Hey, where's my camera?
-It's meant to be on this desk, but it's gone.
-Maybe my parents took it somewhere else, because they needed it, and haven't put it back.
-Maybe I put it somewhere else because I needed it, and haven't put it back.
-Maybe it's been stolen.
-That's not very likely, really.
-Unless it was the cleaners.
-But then it would be obvious.
-The sun has retreated back behind its cloud.
-Quite a few people mentioned in my English class that they were ill.
-Which makes me rather worried that I might catch something from them, too.
-How intolerable.
-Although my last couple of illnesses have been fairly tolerable.
-Now, what was that advice for avoiding colds that I read in a letter in the newspaper?
-Something about heating your nose, or something.
-Meh, if I get desperate.
-I've got nothing to lose, unless it actually makes your head explode or something, in which case I have everything to lose.
-Including my life, but more importantly, my dignity.
-I hope you enjoy Realtors in the Cave, SnicketFace.
-I'll be returning to school in about half-an-hour, or perhaps a bit later.
-I have some leeway, as it doesn't take as long as I think it does to get back there.

-Something about heating your nose, or something.

-Mother's given me that same advice, or at least similar advice.
-She often recommends that I take warm steamy baths to keep from getting a stuffy nose.
-Warm steam is very pleasant, anyway.
-Maybe I need to visit a sauna so I can better enjoy the health benefits of steam.
-And I think I'd enjoy smelling hot wood.
-Yesterday was my big scary Government test.
-I didn't get one of the supposedly-easy identification questions, and could only make a reasonable guess at another.
-However, I think I did relatively well on the big essay question, which was what I was most worried about before the test.
-Today I made some large prints of some photos I took.
-There was a blurry one of my mother, and a much better one of the river at the park near my house.
-I'll have to make prints of about five more photos, but I have plenty of time.
-There are seagulls at my school.
-I tried taking some photos of them earlier, with my own camera.
-I've heard that polar bears have black skin.
-I remember learning that in kindergarten, and when we had to color a scene that had polar bears, or something like that, I colored the bears black.
-The teacher joked that they were bald.
-I have no idea why I remember these things and I can't seem to remember anything useful.

-Wow, I haven't posted here in a while.
-Some things have happened...the books for my birthday that were late (Nonsense Novels and some black and white photography book were the ones I forgot to mention) have arrived....well, actually just the former.
-The other isn't going to arrive until after Christmas.
-My dad got back from Geneva on Thursday.
-He brought some Swiss chocolate.
-Which has long since been devoured.
-I've been up for a while, I think.
-It's now 6:42 AM.
-I don't feel very tired.
-I also don't want to get up for tomorrow (today?) because it'll probably be horrible.
-But I think you can excuse my slightly erratic typing for that.
-Plus I have this little scrape on my pinky finger that hurts and it's making it difficult to type.
-I sort of fell against the computer and injured it.
-That sounds like a really lame excuse, but it's true.
-Oh, it seems to have started bleeding again.
-I'll go wash it off.
-Heh, the spell check doesn't recognize "pinky".
-Or "heh".
EDIT:
-Ugh, I don't like it when I post on a new page because then I have to see my post first whenever this page loads.
-It's much harder to simply scroll past.
-I hate rereading my posts.

-Today is a very busy day for me.
-My Government class was pretty dull, as we're just discussing party organisation.
-My associates wanted to watch Prime Minister's Questions, to see the new Conservative Leader's performance, but Mr. F. said that we'd never find a TV.
-It's true. There aren't many TVs in school.
-And all the rooms with TVs were almost certainly being used for lessons.
-I guess I'll check what happened now.
-...
-Well, he doesn't sound to have done badly.
-Go democracy, I guess.
-Oh, but there's an aSoUE coincidence.
-Interesting.
-Anyway, I've been given loads of English homework.
-Apparently my class is behind, which is a perfectly good reason to ask us to do a few lessons' worth of work at home.
-And an essay.
-Well, it might not be too bad.
-Although I don't really have too much time, as I've got to go to the theatre in a couple of hours.
-Now I've got go go draw some curtains.
-It gets dark so early.
-I wouldn't mind if it was more snowy.
-The two seem to go together, in my mind.
-It's dark in the house as well.
-There are barely any lights on.
-And I just nearly injured myself closing a curtain.
-One curtain requires me to clamber onto a sofa to draw, and while returning, I stumbled off and nearly hit myself against a corner of a table.
-Which would have been very painful.
-Anyway, I avoided it.
-My arrogance makes me want to say by talent, but my humility makes me want to say by luck.
-So I won't say anything at all.
