A good thing about 18:
I am now allowed to buy duct tape from Wal-Mart! YES!!
At least that's what Caleb told me.
An ode to duct tape, the heart and soul (well... er... sort of...) of an Irish dancer:
O wondrous duct tape!
What a beautiful thing.
Black and shiny
Goes with green.
Its dark, smooth surface
Has a stunning sheen.
Especially when stuck on
Niall or Colin
(those are my hardshoes
if you were wonderin'!)
O faithful duct tape!
You never fail
To keep my feet
From flailing in the air
And doing somersaults
On a cement stage
Is not very great...
So thank you, duct tape.
*Takes a bow* Thank you, thank you, everyone. That was a work of art... probably the best poem I ever wrote... or not....
I wonder if anyone besides Sara reads this anymore. I just did an ASTOUNDING job of keeping my readers, didn't I, by not writing for a month! EVERYONE COME BAAAAACK!!!! Hmmm... if you come back I might have some chocolate... or not... but you'll never know until I see your comments! ;D
By the way, see those links on the side, over to the right? That say Sara's blog, Lora's blog, and Caleb's blog? Click on them. They're cool.

Awesome poem Rachel! You should do that more often, lol. ;-D
Hey Sara's not the only one who reads your blog; I just have not been in the commenting mood for a while. So um, when do I get my chocolate?
I'm sorry you couldn't come tonight; we had a lot of fun. We'll have to do something like that again when you don't have something to do.
w00t! A link to my blog, and a bit of a promotional thing too. You definitely get some coolness points for that. :-)

Oh, I am just DYING with excitement! You know how big of a pyro I am... lol. Right.
Yay, I do have some readers after all! You all rock. Now, I said I might have some chocolate if you all post... so where is it? Right now would be a good time... actually anytime would be good, I'm always in the mood for chocolate. ;D

I think I remember hearing something about that. How people aren't allowed to buy duct tape until they're 18. Kinda wierd..
I'm glad you asked that. Yes, you know me. Um, a hint ... I was in last year's dance recital.

As long as random people are commenting on this blog, we should see how many comments you can fit on one post... Yeah, I'm bored. Homework has no entertainment value.

Great idea, Stevo. Let's see how much random stuff we can write in comments.
Whoah, I just noticed something strange. I have more guy posters than girl posters! Weird... well, I DO have a lot of guy friends... but still, where are all the girls?
Oh, and Kitty Pryde, I think I have a pretty good idea who you are... actually, I'll be surprised if you aren't one of the two people I'm thinking of. Are you in the troupe? Don't worry, I won't say your real name if you don't want me to!

Yes, I will be in the recital this year. No, I am not in the troupe.(Surprised?)
I like this game. Any more questions??
I've never been a "random people" before. It's amusing. ;oD
I mostly agree with Herohtar about research paper homework unless it's super interesting and really easy to get the needed information.
At 5/02/2005 11:13 PM,

^ Wow. Okay, I'm stumped.... Have I ever been in the same dance as you (this year included)?
You aren't in Sr. Irish, then, are you? If you are, then you could only be one person. If not, that doesn't get me anywhere. :-D

Herohtar/Caleb: I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Kitty Pryde! It's the writing that I like. I'm not so crazy about the research part, unless it's a topic I'm REALLY interested in.
Do I know you, Estel of Rohan?
Posting around midnight is something I need to do less of! ;-)
Kitty Pryde... um... what to say? Oh, I've got it. What kind/s of dance do you take? I still have no clue who you are for sure, though I'm getting some ideas.
Sorry, Caleb. I know who you are, so you can't play Stump Rachel. I guess you'll just have to live with it. ;-D
Hersheys bars... yum... the chocolate is calling me....

And who these "random people" are... that's what I'm trying to find out! About Estel of Rohan... I saw Rohan and I immediately thought "Jackie," but I doubt she'd be "Estel," and since Estel is Aragorn's nickname, it will probably be a guy.... *cough* Caleb *cough*
Watch out, Stevo, you never know if you might actually know one of these "random people" yourself. ;-) Although I doubt they're as random as me. I like Cheez-its. I LOVE chocolate. They don't go together well, though, do they? I'm going to MEXICO!!!!

Hey y'all, just wondering, but can you see the beautiful picture on the sidebars of the main page for Elwing's flight? For some reason we can't see it on any of our other computers besides this one... it's a picture of the Valinor next to the sea at sunset.

Kitty: I don't know... maybe it does not make sense; writing papers does strange things to one's mind. Wow, you got it right on the first guess; Joshua is my brother.
Rachel: You mean there should be pictures on both sides of your blog? I cannot see them... it is just blank white space.

Rachel: I can see them if I let the page fully download ;^)
Herohtar: yea! I have figured out who David is too. I still don't know Stevo.(and he said he doesn't know me)

Weird... but then again, I don't know hotmail, so it was a major accomplishment for me to add those to the template! Hopefully at least half the people reading this can see it. It doesn't look all that great without it.
Dotty/Kitty, El Stevo is mi amigo (I hope that's right?) Stephen, from church. I doubt you know him outside of the computer world.

Rachel, question. are you bouncing from blogpage to blogpage?

By the way, everyone, the paintings lining the border and also the parts of the painting of the sea that's behind the title are by Ted Nasmith, my absolute favorite Tolkien artist. My profile picture's by him, too. See his amazing pictures here: http://www.tednasmith.com/
They give me the chills. Some of them are so close to what I've imagined. And I'll bet you anything that some of what you see in the movies is based off of his artwork, even though they've never mentioned it! Like Isengard, for instance. But his Silmarillion paintings are some of my favorites. Wow. Check them out!

Rachel: explanation (I hope)
I posted very shortly after you and Caleb. you didn't post again so I went to another blog and there were recent posts (you and Caleb) and I come back here and there's a few more. so I wondered if you were bouncing between blogs.
At 5/04/2005 11:30 PM,
Rachel said…
Yup, I did that! But now I'm just looking at the pretty pictures on Ted Nasmith's site. You know, I take it back. His LotR paintings are just as awesome as the Silmarillion ones, if not more so.

Rachel, you funny/
At 5/04/2005 11:40 PM,

One more thing about Ted Nasmith's paintings: it isn't so much that they look like I imagined it (they often don't in LotR), they just give the right feeling. The people don't look anything like I imagined, but their expressions are priceless. There's so much going on.
Okay, enough about that! I'm done talking about paintings now, lol.

Rache: yeah for some reason and i can't see the cool artwork on ur blog.
Maybe my firefox browser thinks ur pictures are tryin to hi-jack my computer or somethin.
Anyways, I got a random email from college board and apparently I have the SAT on Staurday, just what I need! More tests!
And Rachel... we still need chocolate!
At 5/05/2005 8:23 PM,
Rachel said…
Grr... the SAT... ain't that just wonderful. At least it's not the ACT. I liked the SAT a WHOLE lot better than the ACT, but then that was before they changed the SAT this year. I don't know what the new SAT's like.
And yes. We... must... have... chocolate!!!!!

Herohtar said…
£l §tévó: You use Firefox? That is awesome! You are officially a cool person! ;-D
Rachel: The new SAT is evil; you have to write stuff in a few places instead of just answering multiple choice questions. I am glad I took it before they changed it.
I agree, we need some chocolate...

£l §tévó said…
You mean I wasn't before? just kidding. Yeah, I really don't need the SAT so I talked to my parents and I decided I'm just gonna blow it off. Cause I really don't feel like taking any more 4-hour-early-morning-standardized tests. I still have my AP U.S. Government and AP Comparative government tests to go, yippee.
And Rachel, you start makin that chocolate, you have a lot of orders to fill.
At 5/06/2005 10:53 PM,
Rachel said…
Excuse me, but WHO did you say had a lot of orders to fill?? Who says it was me who was going to give out the chocolate to anyone besides Dotty and Bethany, anyway? I thought I was going to get chocolate from you all. Sigh... you guys are impossible....

I beg to differ, I would argue that we are improbable, not impossible :)

Hmm... so who are you? Or will you be mean and make me play a guessing game with you, too? ;-D

Nah. I won't play a game. I'll be true to my name. (Which is, of course, Dull) I'm Brad. Remember me? I met you at Mazzio's when I had Mono, but didn't know it. I was really embarassed that I fell asleep while talking to you, and consequently it has been bothering me ever since. I hope you didn't think I was too much of a looser, because I really do think highly of you.
At 5/08/2005 11:17 PM,
Rachel said…
Hi, Brad! Actually... I'm a little embarrassed... I don't really remember you. I think I might remember meeting you, though.... Sorry, I guess it was just a really busy day and I've slept since then, lol. You fell asleep while talking to me?? Wow, I don't remember that at all! Don't worry yourself over it. You couldn't help it, anyway! And no, I don't think you're a loser for that!

Lol. You made it sounds like you don't know who I am! I'm Anna's brother. I sit by Sara every day during youth wav. You always say hi to me in the hall. You posted on my blog when I had one. And you don't remember me? Ok, that's odd. I think I'm getting something mixed up. I'm confused most of the time about almost everything.

OH!!!! You're THAT Brad!!! Of course I know you!! I'm so sorry, I thought it sounded like you had only just met me at Mazzio's, and I was wracking my brain trying to think who I met at Mazzio's for the first time! So just ignore all that I said earlier about not knowing you. I still don't think you're a loser, either. I'm sorry you're sick, that stinks.

Lol. I'm not sick now. I mean when you first moved here. This was before I disappeared for 2 years. My dad knew your dad before you came because my dad gets all the memos about new collegues. So when you first got here, my family took your to lunch at Mazzio's. I was very sick. I shouldn't have been outside the walls of a hospitol, let alone going to Mazzio's and trashing myself with too much caffine. So I just shut down. But I'm much better, and have been for three years. It was a while ago. Thank you for your concern, though.

Wow, seeing as I'm receiving threats (as harmless as may they seem) from Rachel, I suppose I'll have to be there. I figured since I got three different invitations I could safely assume that I was wanted there. So yeah I guess I'll probably will meet you Estel.
