ello!

Haha, that would be interesting. Children's books about cardboard boxes... that could turn out to be a cool new genre!! And I'm sorry I haven't been helping with the domination of newbie threads lately. I've been too busy with skating. And I perfected my axel today. Perfectly clean almost every time!! (sorry, nobody's gonna know what I'm talking about except for Anne...)

I'm very hyper right now. I'm supposed to be cleaning my room, but I just stole a thousand chocolate chips from the cupboard and ate them, and now I'm typing like a demon. I'm getting all jittery, though

oh, god. Sams hyper. hey sam, i have a question from my mother (shes under the distinct impression that ypou may be my cousin sam no matter how many time i tell her that pure younger then me) whats your last name? (you dont hav eto answer)

hey, at least it'd be original! everyone's kind of exhausted the books about animals category!

i already said this, but congrats on the axel!

axel? is this another skating thingy?

yup. dunno if this will mean anything to you, but an axel is 1.5 turns in the air taking off from forwards. in non-skating speak, it's the hardest jump to get, and the one most people know. (as in, when they learn you skate, the first question is, "can you do a triple axel?")

Haha, very true. And I lost the dumb thing after I made that post, and then it came back, and then I lost it again, and now it's decent. You forgot to mention, Anne, that it's the most annoying jump in history.

Lilly, I think that's pretty funny that your mom thinks I'm your cousin I don't like posting my last name on the internet (because I'll bet you a million bucks I'm the only Samantha with that last name in the entire world) so I'll PM it to you. I'm PMing my PO box address to you anyway, so I'll do that at the same time

i'm sorry about that. at least you have it back now! i haven't gotten there yet, so i don't know about the annoyance factor, but i doubt anything is worse than the stupid gorram bloody #@!$ loop jump!

Calm down, Anne. It'll be okay. We'll get it eventually!

If you start working on it again, that is.

Be quiet, Tamara.

Well, it's true!

She doesn't need to hear that!

caroline, thanks for the support, but tamara's right.

Ha!

Don't get smug about it, honey. it doesn't happen very often.

anyway....
that is kinda funny. and i bet i'm the only anne with my name as well, so i probably shouldn't post my email, but i don't really care that much. i could probably use some of your paranoia, sam. *sigh*

Oh, trust me, I thought loop was bad, but once you start working on your axel, you'll know what I mean. It's about ten times worse. I hate it with a passion. But I'm sure I'll get it back, and then my axel and I will be friends again

Lol, nice ramblings. Tamara is right to some extent, because you can't get it unless you work on it, but Caroline is also right, because you will get it eventually.

Paranoia isn't exactly a good thing. I mean, you should probably be a little bit careful, but don't be paranoid like me

Yeah, that's right. There AREN'T hobos living in your trash cans.

Well you never know... bad things are lurking out there.

Oh, boohoo. Just stab 'em and be done with it.

Not ALL of us are as violent as you, Zinestra.

ALL of you, SHUT UP!

Hehe... sorry Italics was Brea, bold was Nadine, Courier New was Zinestra and Trebuchet MS was Carline. Just to help explain some of that.

okay, i'll keep that in mind.

she is right, and i know she is, but she shouldn't get used to it .

lol, nice. carline? i think that's a new one!

i should have thought of using different fonts. since the stupid underline doesn't work, marianne will speak in comic sans ms

Yup

Yeah, and she'd better not get all stuck up about it either

She's still one of the originals. I just know less about her than I do about the others. She's the snobby one who gives herself too much credit and thinks she's better than everybody else. No, I'm the absolute nicest person in the universe! I rest my case.

Cool Yeah, I hate that the underline doesn't work. But it's worth it, just to see other people get caught by the netspeak filter when they say like, '"u" are dumb.'

Was the "netspeak sucks" inside the "netspeak sucks" intentional? Lol It's because you put the "u" in between colour markers...

oops.

Lol, thought so. Ah well, it adds to the effect And there was no way you could have avoided it anyway.

hmmmm... im sure that i could have thought of a few ways...

If you'd made it all the same colour, that would've worked. But if you separate the "u" from everything else, the netspeak filter is inevitable

hummmmm... i dont know about that.

I'm pretty sure it is. Unless you hack into Ava or Evermore's computer, and then fiddle with the site controls until you can get rid of the filter. But that wouldn't be very nice, now, would it? If you can find another way, good on you

i have no need to do that ^^

What exactly do you mean by that? You're going to find another way, or you have no need to find another way?

not sure. but i still want to know how they managed it! i can't get it to work. . it's worth not being able to underline things to not have to deal with netspeak. i REALLY want to finish installing mine!

eek, netspeak is evil.

very evil. i'm getting tired of it, too! *shakes head*

same, and yet i use it when i text

I've actually pretty much stopped using it in my texts. I can text pretty fast, anyway

And Anne, I'm still at a complete loss for how to filter the netspeak on my site. And it's really starting to get to me... some people in particular are pretty bad.
