I'm... Not new, but back.

FREEEEEEE PERIODDDDD. HOLIDAYSSSSSS. MMMM.
Sorry, just rubbing it in further [What can i say? I'm annoying ]

Ack yes the firewall thing at my wonderful old Perth school was really annoying. They blocked those things that allowed you to get around the firewalls too, as well as like ALL the chat sites. And they kicked you off the internet for a month or a week or something if you weren't a good kid . I don't know if they blocked this though, mostly because i didn't actually have it, back then, and also because i was a good kid and didn't misbehave muahaha. lol.

Well, this site IS educational!!! You learn about... about... insanity, how to cope with insane people, weirdness, alternate personalities, writing (that one is ACTUALLY real lol ), reading (hello? Don't edu. people WANT us to read?)... etc...

. and why do you get long winter holidays and not sam?

hehe, sounds almost like ours, except worse. there are ways to get around our firewall, i just don't happen to know them. *sigh* i'll learn, though! i NEED to be able to get onto ff.net again at school!

very good points. i agree, those are useful life skills. besides, those of us with alternate personalities and insanity issues get the support we need so that we don't go insane(er) and start talking to trees...

not that there's anything wrong with talking to trees...

ahem, yeah...

Because she's in Malaysia, where they have a wannabe-American schooling system. Simple explanation, really. Lol.

Yeah, it sucks. And suddenly they've given me one of those stupid "Network Access" notes that says I've "exceeded my download limit," which I haven't, because I haven't downloaded a thing. And now I have to give the note to my parents and return it, signed, otherwise I can't access the internet at school, full stop. It's stupid.

They are. Even if they're not strictly education-based, they're good social skills and they're really more relevant to today's society than anything else. I mean, who needs to memorise quotes from Frankenstein to succeed in life?

Of course not. Trees are awesome.

That's my Authos page. RIght down the bottom is the story link. It's the last one. 'Without You.'

vampiric: i can't find it . i clicked on your website, but i got your myspace. is that what you meant?

sam: ah, i see. just so they know, the american schooling system isn't all it's cracked up to be . if it was, they would switch the bell times around so that all the elementary school kids start school at the same time their parents start work, which would save money on childcare, and the high schoolers would start later, when they can get themselves there AND enjoy much needed sleep. honestly, WE'RE the ones who need sleep, not THEM!!! everyone's always saying that teens need the most sleep, and that exhaustion/sleep deprivation is contributing to the obesity epidemic, and then they turn around and announce that the school day will be beginning earlier... something's wrong here...

that's weird. maybe something/someone hacked into your account and did it for you. it's the only logical explanation.

they get us nerds TALKING to people! isn't that what they want? don't they WANT us to get over our various phobias of people and/or human kind? hmm? *sigh* what does frankenstein know, anyway?

they are indeed. i was just telling the big one in my yard the other day...

im back!!!!!! mwa ha ha ha.

yay! welcome back!

Welcome back, Lilly (Although you guys should probably be the ones saying that to me, at the moment... lol )

Yeah, that does seem dumb. People always contradict themselves like that... Why can't the school day just start at eleven and finish at one? Six hours of learning can't be healthy, anyway...

Yeah, it is. It sucks, though.

Exactly. But NO, for it to be education-based, it has to be some kind of information database or something like that. Hey, we should just disguise Cullen Cults as Wikipedia or something like that

LOL. Me too.

welcome back sam ! though i've bee gone for a while too...

i know. eleven to one. sounds good to me! one subject a day with a break for lunch. perfect!

-muttermutter- who are they do decide what constitutes education based, hmm? it's my life, therefore i should decide what is educational to me. hehe, wikicults. i like it .

Ha ha! I agree! How dare they decide for us what is educational?!? And what is not?!? *hurrumphs* Typical *shakes head*
*sighs* one subject a day. 11-1 *sighs again* wonderfulness *goes off into dream-like state in which school was only 2hrs long*
School starts tomorrow *dammit*.
So, welcome back to everyone and welcome back to me too !!!

welcome back!
you're back in school?? i don't start again until the 21st. *muttermutter*

but yes, they have no right to tell us what's educational and what isn't! it's our education, isn't it?

wouldn't that be lovely? then you wouldn't have to worry about studying for a test next hour. it would be a test tomorrow...

Yeah back in annoying old school haha.
Oooh the 21st! Cool . I was waiting almost impatiently for school to start again on the last few days of holidays, but now i'm like GIVE ME A BREAK!! Haha .

YES! It is! Ok that little pep talk/complaining thing has been carried on for too long haha .

Ahhh *sighs*. But think about it, we spend so much of our time at school or doing things for school or thinking about things going on at school.... what would we do if we weren't there for as long!? Hmm. Thoughts for thought .

Haha, now you can't brag anymore I have... just about a term and a half (out of four - I'm talking to Anne, not Linden, there ) left, and then I'll be on holiday and you guys won't. What's scary is that my sister has seven weeks left until TEE and then she's done for good... she's lucky (but not really lucky about having to sit two sets of exams ). And she got her braces off yesterday... I hate her SO much for that

Yes it has. Lol.

School takes over everybody's lives. They're practically brainwashing us if you look at it the way Linden put it. But right now it's really fun - we're doing creative writing in English, so we just get to sit and write for an hour, and since they always try to make S&E tie in with English, we're doing history/mythology/"hero stories" in S&E, and right now we just get to write a short (or not short, for me ) story that follows some classic structurey-thing. (Linden, mine's about Jebadiah Gregory Chussberk Not kidding.) So yeah, we basically had a double period of creative writing today before lunch. And our math teacher got her hand run over by a lawnmower and had to have surgery, so she's been gone for a few weeks and we've had random relief teachers who don't really care whether or not we do any work. So it's pretty good at the moment

That's pretty good. Lucky, getting to do creative writing. The closest thing to writing I've done in school since we got back is.... Well, we had like a whole half a lesson in World Studies (SOSE, S+E, whatever) about WRITING A PARAGRAPH!!!!! I mean DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Writing a paragraph?!?!?!!? Argh so STUPID. Anyway So yeah, lucky.

You're writing about Jebadiah Gregory Chussberk!??! YAY!!!!! How did you make it fit in?!

Ha. Your maths teacher managed to run over her HAND with a LAWNMOWER. Hahaha.

Term. And. Half. Left. So. So. Lucky!!!! And sheesh Liz is graduating.... Wow wow wow wow WOW. I forgot about that...

I'm not going to reply to anything else haha because this is a long enough post

lucky! i doubt i'll get much creative writing. but i've had the how to write a paragraph classes as well. at least they stopped telling us about sentences... though some people in my class could use it... which is depressing.

when did you invent him and who is he?

okay, now that takes skill! wow...

Yeah it sort of IS depressing how some people actually DO need those classes *rolls eyes and collapses*. Hmm.

Oh! Well, Samantha just randomly (somehow) started using the name "Jebadiah" to a) describe me and b) describe other random things (lol). And the name's in The Host too!!! Which i find hilarious (Manth was using it before the Host...)
*Nodnod*

Anyway yeah wow running your hand over with a lawnmower?!!? what on earth was she DOING down there - picking the grass out with her HANDS?!?!!? Hahaha

Yeah, but unfortunately I had to change the story because Jebadiah didn't have enough substance and, of course, I left it until the last minute. So I came up with something completely different and Izzy J and I ended up getting certificates from the S&E teacher for our "outstanding" stories (Take that, Jebadiah )

Yeah, apparently she was emptying out the catch and she noticed there was some grass around where it was when she took it out, and so she stuck her hand in and... well... she didn't lose any fingers, so that was good at least

mine too...

so did you end up turning in the story you posted on fpress.com? 'cause that one was really good!

okay, wow. poor her. but seriously, doesn't it makes sense to turn off the lawnmower before sticking your hand into it?

There's something wrong with this.... I wrote a long reply yesterday!!! And now.. it's gone??!?! And Anne's is posted twice?? I'm confused.

BUT!

I think i wrote something along the lines of

"HA your brother. Is his voice still cracked and low and funny? *laughs... and then realised how immature that is... and stops* ." [Is it sad i remember that exact phrase there? anyway...]
"NOOOOOOO!! JEBADIAH!!! He so has enough substance to feel unloved there. . The poor thing!! But OOOOOOOH good work *shocked face* (jokes, i'm not that shocked ), maybe Jeb doesn't have enough substance to feel exactly JEALOUS, luckily .
What a dumb teacher. . Maths teacher, right? Teaching, you know, LOGIC and that sort of stuff...??? Hhahaha"

So yes that's more or less what I said :D *grin*
Now i'll go
Hopefully this one actually WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there have been problems with both this board and mine for a couple days. they keep deleting posts. as to why i posted twice, i have no clue. i went and deleted one of them (obviously ).

Gr that's not fair. My first posts are always so much funnier *sob* hahaha.
And, you know, meaningful and interesting and humble too.
*laughs*
Oh good, we wouldn't want TWO of Anne's posts. . Jokes.

aw, cummon, annes alright (aside from her damn post count that i have to remedy.)

just try to remedy said post count, deary. you have two months while i was awol, but you were too, so you didn't take advantage of it. -nods-

I didnt have a damn computer to remedy it with -mutters-

Haha. No, Anne's not bad. I just have a bad habit of being sarcastically mean...
