-I hate my work
-I hate flour
-I especially hate packing flour at work when someone orders in an excess of flour so I have to climb up a rickety old ladder and stack it on top of the shelves.
-I am weak, thus I always fear my hand will slip and the pack of 12 bags of flour will topple over and fall on my head, alas breaking my neck
-But on the plus side I got a pay rise
-I now work for $9 an hour
-I don't know why though, I'm a pretty lousy employee
-Why just the other night I accidently spilt a container of pepper on the shelf
-Rather than cleaning it up I carefully hid it behind the other containers and amused myself watching people go past my aisle and suddenly coming down with a sneezing case
-My fingernails are broken from opening up boxes
-Once again thanks to work
-I haven't used one emotion yet in this post
-I usually do, it's a habit
-Even now I am holding myself back from using one
-Hmmm I wonder why no one else uses emotions
-Is it a really cool member thing to do?
-If it is then really cool member me up because I can't help myself ;D
-That is all the ones I can remeber
-I wonder how you make the kissing one
-I'll find out once I go to reply rather than quick reply, again
-That will probably happen when I wish to use italics or bold
-Although I think I already know how to use them
-let me check italics bold
-I cant see wether I got that right
-I'll see once I post this
-Actually I don't think I did...oh well

[Dante]

-It's my birthday today.
-Yay.
-Pity I have to wait so long until I get presents.
-My brother wasn't home this morning, and Mother's out this afternoon, so I'm ending up waiting quite a while.
-I'm sure I'll be able to fill the time.
-I'm just grateful to have had a pretty good day at school.
-I didn't get any homework, and I managed to finish what remained of my "loads of English homework" in breaktimes and stuff.
-I like days when I'm home early.
-I actually get to see the sun before it gets dark.
-Or at least, sunlight.
-Such as now, when I can see those orange clouds on the horizon.
-Quite a few of my associates work.
-All at various supermarkets, although one person was boasting because they got a job in a department store.
-One of my associates recently resigned.
-I forget why.
-Because they couldn't be bothered, or something.
-I have a strange habit of using "we" or "they" when I mean "I" or "he/she."
-I don't know why.
-Trying to share the blame, I guess.
-I don't actually have much to say right now.
-My life recently has been fairly quiet, and not much has happened.
-Unless I've forgotten it.
-Which seems very likely, considering my appalling memory.
-Why, I'm so forgetful I'll probably forget to finish this post before delivering my important message, which is
-No, that would be too gimmicky.
-I won't put you through it.

[Grace]

-This boy in my class was imitating a dog, a cat, and a horse.
-Just wanted to post that.
-It was so annoying.
-He has no friends.
-It's actually kind of sad.
-Rather, it would be sad, except he's really hostile when you're nice to him.
-So I've stopped.
-Another kid was running around poking people in the neck with a green Sharpie.
-He's annoying too.
-And he got me.
-I showed my friend. I said, "Look what ---- did, and when my other friend came and wanted to see, my first friend said, "It's not a hickey. It's a Sharpie."
-I wanted to smack her because that kid is annoying too.

EDIT:
-OMFG WTF ROTFL LOL Snow day! *parties*
-I wanted to find out for myself but mi stupid papa told me.
-Oh well. Still good news.
-In Joizy it's three inches=snow day, Char.
-We're wusses.

[Dante]

-I stayed up until past 2 in the morning reading Thud!
-I only started feeling tired an hour or two ago.
-It's a good thing I wasn't tired in school, otherwise I'd never have finished all that homework before the day actually ended.
-So that just leaves me one large book to read.
-I'll start on it today, and then probably finish it tomorrow rather than irresponsibly staying up late.
-Oh, and I get more presents from my grandparents tomorrow.
-Hurrah.
-We don't need much snow around here for a snow day.
-But we barely get any snow at all now, so the balance tips in the other direction.
-A lot of my Government class was spent discussing children's TV shows.
-Chucklevision was mentioned, as was the immortal Brum.
-Although it was a near miss in that episode where he nearly got crushed at the scrapheap.
-If the old man didn't have any suspicions before, he certainly did after that incident.
-Did I mention that I got delicious pudding yesterday?
-Well, I did.
-Birthdays are pretty cool.
-Such a shame that mine is usually on a school day.
-At least it was a decent one.
-And today's been good as well.
-It balances out in the other way once again, though.
-I have an Economics test next week, and I think I'm having a Government test, and most classes get Wednesday off but I don't.
-Although I will be in all of Monday.
-It does pretty much turn out bad, on the whole, though.
-Quote of the day:
-"I know nothing."
--Heard in Government class.

[Linda Rhaldeen]

-I had a very rude awakening this morning.
-At about 4 am, all the fire alarms in the house began to go off.
-I quickly got out of bed, then wanted to get back in because it was so cold.
-Seriously, at that hour, I was thinking "I think I'd rather take my chances in a burning building than freeze to death"
-Considering it was only 8 degrees Fahrenheit outside, I probably would've if I'd gone outside like you're supposed to when the house is on fire.
-It turned out it was a false alarm, though.
-One of the smoke detectors had old batteries and just started randomly beeping, which somehow set all of them off.
-So I climbed back in bed and managed to sleep a little longer before it was time to get up.

Edit:
-I would have made a terrible VFD member.

[Freshie]

-I gots a snow day.
-I gots a website.
-Nothings on the website.
-I should put stuff on the website.
-Worth 1000 is a good site.

[Antenora]

-Worth1000 is cool, indeed.
-I wish I had Photoshop, which I understand is a lot better than Paint Shop.
-It's also very expensive, and therefore my parents won't buy it.
-My photography teacher said some vague stuff, once, about teaching us to use Photoshop in his class...
-Right now, we're just developing film.
-I didn't get to print any pictures today, because the lab was too crowded.
-And I have a roll of film I need to process, and I just haven't gotten around to it.
-In my Government class we discussed big business, and watched a rather depressing video.
-This video discussed child labor and the consequences of pollution, among other things.
-There were some deformed frogs that had been affected by pesticides, which were very unpleasant.
-And in a week, I have another Government quiz.
-It won't be nearly as bad as the one on Monday, though, just an ordinary quiz.
-It never snows at all where I live.
-But it's been really cold, and it rained last night.
-Weirdly enough, however, the humidity right now is only 19% according to our thermometer/humidity meter.

[PJ]

-Entry Five is complete
-Should be done, soon
-I'll probably do seven or eight entries, for Net-Wars II
-Worth1000 pwns
-I'm bored
-Meh
-I hope the Secret Santa thing starts soon
-Last years one was enjoyable, although my secret santa never turned up, and I myself was guessed early on in the game
-I hope I get someone cool, again
-667er should be up soon

[lauren]

-Im tired
-Work when untill 10.30 last night and I got home about 11 had dinner, checked my email then went to bed
-I woke up at 6.30 because my sister's cat was meowing outside my bedroom
-Got up to let her outside and then couldn't get back to sleep
-My mum is taking my dog for a walk today at the dog beach
-I wanted to come but I was not dressed in time
-I'm still in my pyjamas
-Apparently he love it there
-A friend of mine had a dog who went to the beach dug up a jelly fish and killed himself
-Sad story
-On and lighter note we'll be putting up our christmas tree today
-Hooray
-I wish we had an angel for our tree instead of a star
-Mum has made this pretty blue and silver theme for our tree which I dislike
-It is so neat with the tinsel perfectly wrapped around the tree in equal proportions
-Well I'm exagerating a bit, but I like it better when we just use random coloured tinsel and put it anywhere on the tree and put random 'mcdonald' christmas decorations next to pretty red balls
-It feels more homey
-Blue and Silver arn't even allocated Christmas colours!

[Dante]

-I was only up until one in the morning today, when I realised what time it was.
-I should probably have read more of Ptolemy's Gate, though.
-It's pretty good.
-The only image-editing programs I have are Paint and Photo Editor.
-The latter I use solely to resize and rotate things.
-Anyway, I'm not going to be in for most of the day.
-I'll be occupied most of lunchtime with my grandparents, then I'm going out in the early afternoon to see the new Narnia movie, and then I'm going to my favourite pizza restaurant.
-It's pretty annoying that I'll be out for so long.
-I mean, I'll probably enjoy it, but I'd probably also rather be at home.
-Accursed opportunity cost.
-In fact, I really should read more of Ptolemy's Gate.
-I need to catch up on sleep.
-On the other hand, though, my parents should stop me from sleeping in, because there aren't enough hours in the day as it is.
-Anyway, there wasn't anything much interesting in my weekly news magazine this week.
-Not even any particularly insightful quotes.
-There was a neat one from Churchill, but I didn't think it merited writing down.
-I also stayed up a while yesterday evening helping Mother with a jigsaw.
-This jigsaw had a lot of sky.
-A lot.
-To the extent that doing it was almost frustrating rather than fun, which is the great dilemma of the jigsaw.
-I think my Christmas tree has a star.
-I don't know when we're putting it up.
-Probably next weekend, as it needs a lot of time and energy.
-Ah, I see the jigsaw is being taken apart.
-Hours of work went into that, although I only started helping towards the end.
-It's almost a shame, really.
-Anyway, I'm tired, and I've lots to do, so I'd best get to that now.

[Violet862]

-i'm listening to hurricane herman from the SoUE soundtrack
-it's almost finished
-next is "snakey message"
-i love the CD
-i'm on holidays, and have been for a few weeks
-i can see one of my cats
-it has a blue collar
-snakey message has started
-if you look to some of the first messages, they only had a few random facts
-rather than stories
-MOVE THINGS
-When the Baudelaire children set the table for Count Olaf and his acting troupe you can see and hear them set seven places, but when you are shown the aerial view of the table there are only six place settings
-In the scene where Count Olaf starts walking from the balcony to the stairs, you can see his right hand when he is saying "lovely home" with no writing. Later when he looks at his hand to remember Violet's name, his hand has writing on it.
-When Sunny is picking some fruit a casket with some apples falls from its stand. However Sunny is not even close to the casket. It's obvious someone hiding behind the barrels pushed it over
-i'm listening to verismilitude now
-bye!

You are so cool.
I've decided I'd really like to be lazy today.
I want bake a dessert of some kind and spend all day eating that dessert and watching various things on tv.
I'm thinking Fever Pitch and Dark Angel right now though I wish a marathon of some kind would come on tv.
Then tonight is my schools Christmas Dance which I'd planned on just showing up alone and dancing with the two other girls I knew would also be there.
Now I'm bringing three of my friends.
Only because it's Ashlynn's birthday and a dance is totally a fun birthday event.
Oh cherry tarts. I wonder if we have the ingredients needed to make those.

[Alice Wilde]

-I'm going straight to hell when I die.
-Because I dislike the holidays.
-The Ford High School Christime Choir Concert (OMG my real school name) was last night.
-My parents said I sung very loudly.
-"It was nice though!"
-
-I just ate a cookie.
-I'm probably going to get very fat.
-Then, I will end up rolling on the ice outside.
-And, cracking my head open.
-Oh, joy.
-...I don't know if you can tell, but I'm in such a miserable mood now.
-I should do something.
-Do something, Flan!
-Sorry.

[Snicket]

-Being a Musician, I am participating in a Christmas Concert.
-I can play the Tuba, Baritone, Trombone, Piano, Percussional Instruments, and the Saxaphone.
-Why is this thread slowly slipping?
-We have almost reached 500 pages!
-I believe by January 3 (My Birthday!) we will have over 500 pages.
-I have been coughing a lot.
-I feel horrible.
-And Drunk.
-But, I always remember the phrase I created.
-Don't Worry. Bsammy!

[Dante]

-Well, I've had a tiring weekend.
-I've been to see a movie, and I've been to a restaurant, and I've traipsed around the grounds of the local Duchess's home...
-I've actually had not much time at home at all.
-It's almost made up for by the fact that I have all morning off school.
-Did I mention that?
-My General Studies lessons are cancelled until next term, and I don't have Tutorial today because my form tutor's away or in a meeting or something.
-So I'll be here for hours yet.
-The sky's clear.
-Although it's not in the south, where I gather that the smoke from an enormous fire is spreading for miles around.
-There's a plastic fireman's helmet on a sofa to my right.
-My brother picked it up somewhere.
-I can't help but wonder why an organisation dedicated to putting out fires has a picture of several burning torches as its emblem.
-Well, I've plenty to do.
-I've got writing to do, and reading.
-In terms of the latter, I've got a book of Robert Browning's poetry with me.
-That should give me something to read at school over the next few days.
-Oh, and Mother wants me to read an article on health problems associated with computers.
-Carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, back pain, this one's too unpleasant to mention, iPod finger...
-Oh, here's an uplifting excerpt from the paragraph on tennis elbow.
-"Thankfully, for many people the symptoms go within 12 weeks and 80% have sttled within a year."
-Jolly good!
-Although I probably do spend too much time in front of the computer, really.
-What else can I do?
