in October 11th, 2009 @ 12:48– Would you rather be 2 feet tall or 9 feet tall? (2 feet. I could fit into small spaces, and it’s easier to find clothes for a 2-foot person than a 9-foot person. Plus, I could be a Dalek for Halloween! EXTERMINATE!)
– Would you rather take a 10-minute ride in a car that has a 50% chance of crashing, or a 10-minute ride in an airplane that has a 20% chance of crashing? (Car. Even if it does crash, there’s no guarantee I’ll die.)

in January 18th, 2010 @ 21:112 feet tall. I’ve always wondered what that would feel like
I would go in the car because you have a higher chance of escaping.

–Would you rather have to walk across hot coals or a frozen lake without any shoes on? (Hot coals. It’s not as painful as you think.)
–Would you rather get dumped by your boyfriend or the “Popular” girls/boys? (The “Populars.” It wouldn’t matter as much)

in October 11th, 2009 @ 18:02Hot coals. Have you seen MythBusters?
Well, seeing as I have no R&R/Drama as some put it, I’d choose dumped by girlfriend that doesn’t exist. I actually have some friends who are friends of people that are popular. Though, the “popular” people are more like the smart kids who know lots of other people.

Wouldn’t you want to go in the air plane because it only has a 20% crash rate whereas the car has a 50% crash rate?

in October 11th, 2009 @ 17:46But you’re much more likely to die in an air crash.
Umm… 2 feet tall, car, hot coals, dumped by popular crowd, (I make the popular crowd, y’all!) umm… Museblog for a year, because I wouldn’t be able to read MB anyway.
If you were reincarnated, would you rather be the same sex you are now, or the other? (Assuming you have no recollection of past lives, including this one.)

No offense to Twilight fans. Twilight and HP have sort of a feud going on, don’t they? GAPA’s, I’m sorry if this isn’t allowed.

in October 26th, 2009 @ 18:41Wow… You know this blog is weird when we have this question. I’m not sure I have a least favorite character. I don’t love Ron, probably because he doesn’t have a great voice. On the other hand, Ginny has a lovely voice and is hilarious.
On a slightly (slightly, mind you) normal note, what’s your favorite AVPM song? Mine is “To Dance Again.”

in March 7th, 2010 @ 11:50The only part of “Not Alone” I really like is when Hermione says “Well, now we’ve got that four part harmony out of the way…”, or when Malfoy tries to sing with them.
My favorite song may be the Dragon Song, or Going Back To Hogwarts… or Granger Danger. It’s tough.

but for the million dollars to be at the expense of someone’s life? I don’t think so……..

in February 28th, 2010 @ 16:45Hm. It still depends. What if the person you killed was someone you knew? Or what if it was someone you didn’t know? Then you might feel guilty if you used it to save the lives of people you did know. Also, the entire concept of taking lives to save lives just seems somehow wrong to me. Not to mention how the person who you saved might feel if they found out…

in November 16th, 2009 @ 11:37Boy scouts trying to sell popcorn, definitely. (What? That wasn’t a choice?) Ever since learning that the boy scouts do not allow atheists or homosexuals, I have been boycotting anything to do with them. Not that i actually ever bought anything from them, before, as I’d never really run into them selling stuff, but…….That’s not the point.
And them trying to sell you popcorn is especially annoying when it’s not them trying to do the selling, but rather your spanish professor bringing in her son’s popcorn and trying to sell it to the class. That’s got to violate policies, somewhere.
Of course, telemarketers are immensely annoying, as well. Or even if not telemarketers, per se, the people calling wanting to know if we’ve got anything to donate for Boys and Girls Club (I’ve got nothing against the organization, they just don’t ahve to call all the time), or the glass company calling to ask if we need our windshield replaced.
Or, the worst “telemarketer” chain of phone calls (which wasn’t even techinically telemarketers) was the bank my parents get their credit card through. Some unintelligible foreign person called from the bank, wanted to know if they wanted some deal w/ the card. Mom told them that she wouldn’t do anything over the phone, if they had some deal, they could send info with the next statement. So, I don’t remember if they actually did that, or not, but not long later they call again. Same spiel, Mom tells ’em that her and Dad aren’t interested, don’t call again, send the info or don’t, just don’t call. They call again. Mom is, at this point,g etting really annoyed. She demands to speak to the person’s manager, gives them an earful and tells them to stop calling, we aren’t interested in your offer. THe next day, they call again, but now only ask for Mr. ********, instead of Mr. or Mrs. ********. Dad, of course, works during the day, and is never home when they call. Mom tells them again that they aren’t interested, and that she asked them to stop calling. She gets told that, oh, sorry, you’re not authorized to decline the offer for your husband (even though they’re joint whatevers on the card). She’s told that if her husband isn’t interested, he needs to talk to them, and tell them so himself. Of course, Dad, for some stupid reason, refused to just call the freakin’ company and tell them to stop calling. Probably because he was never home when they called, so it didn’t bother him.
So, me and mom and my sis, sick and bloody tired of the constant (now nearly daily) calls from the bank, decided to deal with them on our terms. It was always pretty obvious when it was them calling, as they never once had a perosn on the phone who spoke clear english, it was always unintelligible accents. I wanted to deal with them by blowing a very shrill whistle into the phone when they called (oh, that would have been so fun), but Mom vetoed that. Or, anyways, she wouldn’t let me do it as our first tactic to get them to go away. She did promise I could if our first attempt didn’t work.
So, we got the idea that we’d find the most annoying music we could find (ok, so it wasn’t that annoying of music, sadly), ask the person to hold, then set the phone down by the CD player with the volume cranked up to max. I grabbed my HP soundtracks, and shoved GoF into the CD player and selected “This is the Night” and “Do the HIppogriff” to be our “annoying” songs.
The very next day, the phone rings: Unintelligble accented voice says: “Hello, can I speak to Mr. ********”
Me: “May I ask who’s calling?”
Him: “name of bank”
Me: “Can you hold, please?”
Him: “yes”
I quick set the phone down by the CD player, check the volumes full on, and queue the music. A couple minutes later when I oh so politely pick the phone back up (“Hi, I’m sorry…..Mr. ******** can’t come to the phone right now…..Can I take a message?”), they appeared to ahve already hung up…….
And, suffice to say, they never called back again. I was actually almost disappointed about that–I really wanted to use the whistle.

in November 16th, 2009 @ 12:29I am a girl scout, the cookies are great but standing outside in the pouring rain trying to sell them during a reccession for two hours straight at least once a weekend (but usually twice) for a month sucks.
Actually, some girl scouts annoy me for other reasons, but that may be personality related.
Oh, and Luna, Boy scouts drive me up a wall- they are always hanging around our sale sites trying to sell car washes when we have the paper work saying we can sell there and they can’t. Of course, boy scouts also annoy me for personality reasons- and they learn to use flame throwers, which is not intelligent while camping in the NW, mess around with sticks and poke each others eyes out, get to use surveying equipement and race matchbox cars (NO FAIR)
It’s kind of funny because the unspoken yet often implied motto of my girl scout troop is “don’t be like the boy scouts” (we have a number of people with boy-scout siblings who are *coughholyterrorscough* annoying.

in November 16th, 2009 @ 19:0021– Hey! I’m a Girl Scout! I’d definitely say telemarketers. My friend and I once made a list called 50 Things To Say To Telemarketers That Annoy Them More Than They Annoy You. It was a hysterical list. My favorite one was, “Hey! Hey, you with the face! Yeah, I’m talking to you! Oh, wait…I’m sorry…Do you even have a face? Yeah, because you know that lady whose face got, like, ripped off by a chimp? That’s scary…But anyways, you with the face! I’m talking to you!” Repeat until the person hangs up.

in December 28th, 2009 @ 16:10How To Annoy A Telemarketer
1. Make bird noises. When asked what you’re doing, continue making bird noises.
2. Talk like the annoying unicorns from Charlie The Unicorn.
3. Talk like Yoda.
4. Talk like Dobby.
5. Sing “Yellow Submarine” at the top of your lungs until en hangs up.
6. Grab some friends and sing “Mysterious Ticking Noise”.
7. Talk about Twilight for hours in a really annoying voice.
8. Say in a very creepy voice, “I know what you did.”
9. Talk like Charlotte from Making Fiends … or Vendetta … or Malachi … or Mr. Milk. Your choice.
10. Demand to know why there is a penguin on top of the television.
11. Demand Tim-Tams.
12. Recite pages of MuseBlog until en hangs up.
13. Say very seriously, “Are you a wombat?”
“Uh … no?”
“Then I have nothing to say to you. Goodbye.”
14. Sing the Llama Song until en hangs up.
15. Say, “Send help! The raptors are closing in!” Then hang up.I don’t recommend you actually try any of these.

in November 16th, 2009 @ 19:50I dunno, telemarketers are often blind people or people who can’t get other jobs because of a disability, so I don’t like being rude to them. Of course it is annoying but they’re just doing their job.
those of you who have sold girl scout cookies or anything else know how demoralizing it is when people don’t even take the time to say anything to you. I know why cause I’m the same way when people ask me to sign petitions and stuff at the mall but still.
I’m just being curmudgeonly…
Here’s my question: If you could live inside one book for a day, what book would it be? (You don’t have to live through the events of the book, just in the world of it)
I would say Middle-earth for sure

Of course, I can read almost anything that’s fiction and, like you said, isn’t too cheesy. I still like Twilight, no matter what everyone here says. I mean, I read it before the craze and I liked it. Though Bella is excruciatingly stupid. (I dislike Edward. Jacob is better in more ways then one.)

He said that, on a fifteen page paper he was writing for his master’s, he did the trick and added over half a page to the length.

I prefer penguins to ostriches, since I know more about penguins and, well, they’re both wild animals and penguins seem easier to restrain/dodge. Besides, ostriches always seem …chaotic.

-Do you call it a clicker? Or what? I call it a remote, or sometimes a “memote” because when I was little I couldn’t say the “r” sound very well, and it’s become a sort of family joke.

-Do scary movies count as a real “pet peeve”? It’s more of a fear, but yeah…I can’t stand scary movies. At. All.

~ When me and another person reach for the same thing at the same time. It’s awkward.
~ When someone, who I obviously know, recognizes me, but I have no idea who en is.
~ Being unable to pronounce a word. Example: I pronounce “obsessed” like “ob-ZEST”. Whenever I say it, my family choruses, “Ob-SEST!”

Otherwise, it would be to come back and find my stuff re-arranged. my desk has piles according to how it “feels right”, so despite the chaos I know exactly where everything is and it’s perfectly logical for me. I also have two glass shelves over it, with miscellaneous figurines and the like, and I will flip out if you think that they look should be set this way instead.

in December 14th, 2009 @ 19:43Oh, I agree with that bit about Twilight being addictive. When I was reading it, I kept thinking, No, you must stop. You MUST stop polluting your sorry mind! STOP! yet I couldn’t put the stupid thing down. I never made it past the first book, though. I plan on reading the other books when I have a strong craving for dumb books. I get that feeling every so often.

4) Harry Potter (Even though I only got up to book four.)

Weirdest quirk?
For example, I saw Piggy post about constantly holding one sided conversations in his head. That’s pretty wacky. Mine is that I get a word in my head and am constantly spelling it, no matter what I’m doing. While I was watching Pirate Radio, in the back of my mind, I was spelling “Descartes”. I’m not sure what that means, or where I heard it, but I was spelling it the whole time. I also try to make the letters spell out in a beat. 5 letter words are infuriating, 6, 7, and 8 words are good, 9 is usually too many. I don’t think I’ve spelled shorter words. Sometimes I spell them to the beat of a song stuck in my head, sometimes I spell them to beats going on around me, (one I remember is spelling “friend” to the beat of the window wipers in the car) but usually I spell them to a “1, 2, 3 ,4 5, 6, 7, 8” beat at nice even intervals, for seven letters word I leave off the 8, for six letter words I leave off the 8 and take a rest at 4. Sometimes I use other beats if it’s necessary to make the letters line up in my head, but it’s usually the 12345678 beat. It also really bothers me if I can’t get them to line up, and a lot of times I’ll be really frustrated by it, even though I don’t realize that I’m spelling at all.
That was a long post for a short question. I’m sorry.

Weirdest quirk?
I associate words with other random words. I would probably mess up that word-association test. Also, whenever someone calls my name, I bolt upright and say “Name!”. I also liked Fred better than George. No idea why. I also see memories in third-person, imagine scenes in books but if asked, can’t describe what the characters look like. I also remember random bits of conversation from years back and minute details from Harry Potter. I also talk to myself. A LOT. Oh, and anything I say out loud, or type, I mentally review in my head. (I write it down and reread it.) Oh, and apparently I make funny noises when I’m moved or jostled in my sleep.
I’m a strange person.

in December 23rd, 2009 @ 10:0449- I never seem to be able to completely agree with myself. Well, sometimes two voices in my head agree with each other and pick on a third, which makes number four come and say that they shouldn’t pick on no5, which in turn make no6 tell no5 to keep it’s nose out of other people’s buisness and let them fight their own battles, and along comes no7 who shouts at everyone else to shut up and get on with doing whatever we/I was doing (which sometimes provokes no8 which says you shouldn’t yell at yourself, and no9 who says what you happen to be doing at the moment is stupid/a waste of time/you should take a break, which gets countered by no10 who says you should keep going, and then no11 says that anyway, I’m to much of an inner slave driver and I should just go watch Andromeda, no12 which says it’s getting to crowded in here and you should stop talking to yourself, and no13 which says that this is called in an intelligent conversation, no14 which says yeah, right, no15 which argues that arguing with yourself is a pointless waste of time, no16 which asks “What was I doing now anyway?”, no17 which says that I should really take a break and agrees with no9, since this is obviously a stress overload, no18 which argues that if I’m so stressed, then why am I sitting around talking to myself, no19 which says that the work is too hard, no20 which reviews what I’m supposed to do, no21 suggests a more amusing alternative, no22 say that I have to finish whatever I’m doing now (usually homework) because it needs to get done, no23 figures out a first time plan so that everything fits in, supplemented by the next two drafts by no24 and no25 (which wins), then no26 gets stressed and says that you’ve wasted to much time already and OMG and generally freaks out, no27 to tackle no26 and drag it away to make some space, no28 to remind everyone of the original debate, i.e. talking to myself, which no15 of course says is a waste of time (repeating itself), but along comes no29 and suggests a short break, no30 says “We’re crazy”, no32 says “Stay optimistic, and finally no33 says to sumbit this post before the blog thinks you’re insane (which often provokes no31, who says that…)).

I often think of the things I’m doing in third person, and then I’ll describe them as if I’m writing. For example if I’m picking up a book I might think: “Soccer starr picks up the old book off the couch and sits down and begins to read.” I dunno, I’ve thought like that since I was a little kid. It happens on and off again though, so thank the cake I’m not walking around thinking that way ALL the time…it would drive me insane(er).

There’s also something called ordinal-linguistic personification, which is similar to my personality thing, and OLP also applies to days of the week, which I also have personalities for, and pictures too. For some reason Tuesday is a sandwich, Sunday is a chocolate cupcake with pink frosting and a cherry on top, and the others are just geometric things I can’t really describe. Doesn’t anyone else do this?!

in December 29th, 2009 @ 19:54Regarding various synesthesia-related posts: I visited www (dot) synesthete (dot) org (without the spaces and with actual dots, as always) and I took a synesthesia questionnaire and I am indeed synesthetic. I’m not sure how to react. I mean, I had a sort of sneaking suspicion, but I never had an outright feeling that I was synesthetic, so I’m kind of surprised. So, MBers, since about 1 person in every 20 is synesthetic, some of you must be. I’ve devised my own do-you-have-synesthesia quiz, based on my experiences. *Note: this only applies to grapheme and OLP synesthesia, what I seem to have*
Do have similar experiences?
1.When you wake up on Wednesday, you feel a sense of dread unrelated to the giant math test you’re going to take first period. It’s just the fact that it’s Wednesday, as if it’s out to get you.
2.You disagree with the fact that someone wrote the name “Caroline” in a forest-y shade of green; it should be orange! (or navy blue, or bubblegum pink…)
3.Some words create pictures in your head; i.e., the word “forgive” brings up a laundry basket with clothes in it.
Do you agree?
4.Your friend is mildly intimidated by the number 27, which en says is evil. En is extremely weird. Numbers are numbers.
If you answered yes, yes, yes and no, then you might consider looking into synesthesia. If it’s the inverse, you might have a different form of synesthesia, or none at all. I was surprised to find that I might be synesthetic just because colors, pictures, and personalities I associate with words, letters, numbers and days of the week just seemed like my own little quirks, so I thought this might be helpful to other people.

in January 18th, 2010 @ 23:03Some words and songs have colours for me, and days of the week definitely have personalities. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays are good days, on Wednesdays I have a feeling there’ll be drama(even though that actually happens on Fridays). Is it normal to associate particular songs with certain experiences? Even if you ust really liked that song then? And having an avatar with a lot blue just feels right with my name. *rambles some more*

Question: For people with siblings… What is the design of your fingerprint? A loop, swirl, or arch? And the same question with your brothers or sisters. This is for a school project. I’m trying to prove that siblings tend to have similar designs of fingerprints due to genetics.

3) Anything depressing. I don’t remember. This one site listed “Revolution 9” as the worst Beatles song ever. To quote Pseudo, “[ It ] sucks.” (This is Pseudo. It’s lousy as a pop song, but it’s not bad as a… umm… avant garde art piece! Yeah! That’s it….I guess… heh.)

in January 20th, 2010 @ 10:2649- Where do I start? I almost always have a song stuck in my head (often many at once, my record is fifteen songs at the same time). I frequently talk to myself out loud. I constantly review random things, like quotes and such, in my head and frequently burst out laughing at them, which solidifies the general opinion that I am insane. I can turn almost anything into a quote (I got a Channuka card that parodied the titles of famous Christmas songs, and someone was reading it out loud. When they came to “Oy to the World” I shouted “Oy, fang-face! Thirrin wants a word!” Which is frome the book Blade of Fire). I keep a running commentary on the smallest, most unrelated details possible. And when I’m watching or reading a story, I root for the bad guy unless I deem en’s motives stupid (Like using basketball shoes to infect people with athlete’s foot).

It WAS Harry Potter, but I’m kind of taking a break… I haven’t read one HP book since about six months after the last one came out, when I read all seven in a row.

in January 22nd, 2010 @ 22:18Two questions here:
1) Have you ever fainted? Or almost fainted?
2) If yes, then what color was around the edges of your vision? Like, you know, you can’t see anything in your peripheral vision except that color, and then it closes in on your straight-ahead vision until you black out.
For me, it’s a pale greenish color, like the one at the bottom of MB but with a little blue mixed in and a lot paler. I’ve almost fainted twice; I’ve never acutally fainted. Both times it was at a choir concert, one of the times I was in the back row and had to duck under the risers for the next song in order to not cause chaos by falling over. The entire audience saw me duck under and the person next to me’s confusion, but the choir director, who was talking to the audience, did not.
She just turned around and conducted the next song!I also see this weird color when I’m really sick to my stomach.

bookgirl_me
in January 24th, 2010 @ 05:02I’ve never fainted- though I did have quite a lack of oxygen once when I messed up free diving. It’s a long story about me being foolish and overconfident- it was when I was still a cruising kid, and went free diving almost every day after school: after two months of training, I was at my best ever and felt too safe.
Color- everything except the water right in front of me went gray. After that, I don’t remember seeing anything until it was over. When I saw the grayness, I thought “I’m not gonna make it” for the first time in my life, so I probably shut my eyes in fear. Or I just can’t remember seeing anything because fish or pretty corals weren’t really important to me at that moment. The next thing I remember seeing was blue water again- I broke the surface, took a breath, and then sank back down a foot or so- and the grayness going away and seeing the reef on my left when my sense of orientation came back and I stopped feeling dizzy and could think straight again. After that, my vision was normal.

speller73
in January 24th, 2010 @ 08:511. Yes. As I think I’ve mentioned, I start to faint when I get shots. Generally, the doctor lies me down, keeps a watch on me, and lets me leave after 20 minutes so that I don’t actually faint. But once, I was actually feeling just fine after the shot. So after 20 minutes, the doctor let me go, and my mom stopped at the desk to make my next appointment. THEN, I start feeling faint and faint right there in the waiting room.
2. Not sure. Red, maybe? I just remember feeling faint, blacking out, and then waking up a few seconds later as I hit the floor.

in January 25th, 2010 @ 19:47I fainted once, when I was so delirious with fever that I just walked out of the bathroom and went down. I think I would’ve gotten a concussion because it was a hardwood floor I hit, but my head conveniently landed on a pair of slippers. Now that you mention it, I seem to recall black with flecks of turquoise around my field of vision before I fainted. It was the weirdest sensation, fainting.

in February 3rd, 2010 @ 17:17I passed out once in my entire life. I was getting blood drawn for testing, which never affected me negatively before (except for my fear of hypodermic needles), but this time, they were doing a lot of different tests, so they drew at least twice as much as usual. When they were done, I was feeling kind of weird, and the edges of my vision were grayish-green. I figured it would pass, but instead of going away, the color became less gray and more green and it was really dark. It started moving inward from the edges of my vision, until it was the only thing I could see. Then, the green was replaced by a sort of video clip of Plants v.s. Zombies, which was really odd. When I came to, everything was gray, and the only thing I could see was my white sneakers.

in February 3rd, 2010 @ 18:36I fainted once. Early one morning, when I was dehydrated and exhausted, I stood up for too long. I realized that I had a lot of little black dots crowding the edge of my vision, so I sat down. On a backless stool. Next hing I know, my parents are above me asking if I’m ok, and my head hurts. Eventually I became aware enough of my body to realizes my legs are still on top of the chair and that my head bashed into the edge of the stairs when I fell over backwards. I managed to make it upstairs and went to sleep, as I still felt woozy and couldn’t walk without leaning on somebody
I have gotten little black dots around the edge of my vision before, without fainting. Like I said, it’s usually when I’m really exhausted and dehydrated. Teh quickest cure is to put my head down between my knees and drink water. Then I take it slow from then on.

But yeah, I agree with your description of the 5th–Harry was much, much too whiny. Pissed me off royally, and, oddly enough, that was actually the book–due to Harry’s attitude–that led me to imagine what I would have done were I Harry, which led to my mad obsession with the series. So the book I liked the least was also the one that caused my love for the series…..Hmmm, ironic, much?

Ohmygod, that was morbid. I don’t usually sound like that. It’s the exams.

in February 3rd, 2010 @ 18:1479.1 (luna) – I agree that Harry was whiny and annoying and generally just a brat in the 5th book, but at the same time, I did like it when I read the book – I don’t know, I guess the DA, Luna Lovegood, Cho Chang, and a bunch of other interesting things happened which kept it interesting and fresh. It sort of lost its appeal a bit after I saw the movie, I guess because his whining was more apparent in the film, and I just generally thought that they bombed it overall. But other than that, I do like it.
81 – The craziest? Hmm, that’s so hard to say. I guess, I dunno…I dyed my hair pink once (The temporary cheap kind which washes off after a shower) for a soccer tournament with my friends…that was pretty crazy. But other than that, I can’t think of one on the spot.
85 – The life answer…sorry, I don’t even want to think about it. *shudder* I guess a short life, but still…that’s a tough one.
As for the other question, I think the Atlantic.

We talked (Well, I listened) about who likes who, and then how annoying our school dress code is, and then about sports (I sort of ignored that) and then the snow and how everything was canceled and it hadn’t even snowed yet.

in February 9th, 2010 @ 20:21Today, math, because we were studying for a math test in the math classroom and drawing equations on the board.
Yesterday, however, we talked about guys (that we know and celebrities) a lot, and told funny stories about stuff that had happened in our classes thus far today.
A sample of conversation:
(It’s necessary to know that A can be a pretty spacey person.)
S: Hahaha, I love this book! (She was reading a novel in Chinese and couldn’t explain what the plot was, but every couple minutes she’d laugh hysterically and say that she loved the book so much.)
Me: Hey look, it’s Bing Woo. (Bing Woo is our code name for this senior that J stalks. In a purely harmless sense, of course–I just mean that she sees him in the hallways a TON and thinks he’s really cute and such. We all just like teasing her about it.)
J Shut up.
P: I don’t get the math homework. I hate sine and cosine.
[conversation lull for a couple of minutes]
A: That’s so cute!
Everyone else: …What?
A: Wait, what was I talking about?
Us: What??
A: I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I JUST SAID THAT.

It’s a completely phonetic name, people!Now you know what my real name is. I don’t like it much, but it’s functional and it’s me, so I’m fine with it. If my real name were Abigail I’d probably go by that, but I’m just Abby. I get people assuming it’s shirt for Abigail all the time, but I always correct them immediately. The only people who call me Abigail anyway sometimes are my math teacher (to tease me) and my good friend A (as a nickname, and for sone reason she says and spells it Abigales.)
My blogname I like. “Tesseract” is a little pointy, but it can me shortened to Tess, which I love. I like my reasons for choosing the name, and I like the connotation it has for me. And if course I’ve had this blogname for a tear and a half, and wouldn’t change it now in any case.

in February 26th, 2010 @ 19:40Ok, well, I’d like to set this straight. There is an iPhone. There is an iTV. There is iTunes. Now, let’s look at every iPod that has ever come out: iPod Mini, iPod classic, iPod video, iPod nano, etc. etc. What you hold in your hands that is an iPod with a touch screen is an iPod Touch. NOT an iTouch. Sorry, I have a problem with that whole thing. I do not mean to offend anyone…

I don’t think I’ve ever said my real name on here, mostly because even though there’s no way to assure you I’m a 13 year old girl (I am, but like I said, no way for you to know for sure.) and I just don’t like giving out my real name over the Internet. It would be easy for someone in my real life to “track me down” if I did (Unlikely, but it could happen. And many people would probably know it was me even without the name.) as well as privacy issues. So no worries.

in March 7th, 2010 @ 07:51Real name: Grady. I like it, I guess. It’s just that it’s been mine for so long, and it’s not particularly interesting anymore…
I like going by Ana, because that negates gender ‘rules’ more than Grady does. Jude calls me that all the time, and it makes me feel horribly special.
Blog name: gradster1, or variations thereof… I don’t like it, per se. It’s just there, and it’s been there, and unless I get up off my ass and actually put some effort into changing, it’s going to be there for a while, too.
One dislike in particular- when people spell my name gradester, which is just wrong, or pronounce it grædster, mistaking the first syllable for a sound like the a in the word ‘bad’.
… Yeah. That’s about it.

And yes, I do like my “real” name but I’m not saying what it is…for now. *looks mysterious* *suspense*
Another question! (Am I asking questions too fast?)
Do you like being whichever gender you are and if you were to be born again would you still be female/male or would you choose the opposite gender? Why?
Answer: I do like being a girl, but if I were to be born again…I would definitely want to be male, just to see the differences and what it’s like.

in February 28th, 2010 @ 12:20Question! (Yes, Regina?): What does your handwriting look like?
My answer: My handwriting is very very strange and hard to read. I make the letters thin and long and spindly and very close together. When I write quickly, I usually don’t form all the letters completely and it is therefore impossible to read.

in February 28th, 2010 @ 12:28My writing goes sideways and crazy, and the letters are pretty close together. All my R’s, S’s, N’s, V’s, U’s, and H’s look almost exactly the same. When I write fast, I start spelling literally everything wrong. I’ve spelled a wrong before. I was saying something around the lines of “Look, a duck!” and I wrote something like “Lok, ahe duck!”
I can write neat. I choose not to.

in February 28th, 2010 @ 13:06 I usually spell everything right when I write fast, but sometimes I’ll stop in the middle of a sentence several times, I find that I’ve written one word over and over again. Also, if I’m listening to someone talking while I write, I usually end up writing whatever they’re saying. Another weird thing about my handwriting: I make everything geometric, like lowercase R’s are near-perfect right angles. I also make random letters, like f’s, x’s, m’s, and n’s extend unneccessarily below the line. I don’t know why.

My cursive is really slanted and old fashioned looking, and my print handwriting changes. It’s really weird – every time I write my handwriting looks different. I guess it depends on my mood – when I’m happy, it’s straight up and down and I close all the O’s, but when I’m mad I write with a slant and I sort of mess everything up. In general it’s pretty neat though, unless I’m in a rush.

in March 7th, 2010 @ 03:35My cursive: completely illegible. My print: just barely legible. I make my a’s very round and my f’s really long and I write double f’s and t’s with one long stroke through the middle instead of too separate ones. I write very slowly, even though if I do make myself write fast it’s not that much worse than my regular writing. This is why I’ve never felt like I was born after my time– I’d go insane without computers.

in March 7th, 2010 @ 08:41It’s particularly easy to see odd things in my writing when you look through the journal, but I’m not going to let you see that just yet.
… Hmm. Well, I just found a section I don’t mind you reading. Come to think of it, there’s not much in there I wouldn’t mind you reading. It’s just that it is private and this is the internet, with lots of people on it… Think of it this way. If I was talking to you individually and in person, I might not mind showing you a few pages (of my writing, not Eli’s), but here’s a bit different.
So, sample, rewritten to accent the points of interest.
I tried to recreate the points of interest themselves and then also the stroke pattern I used, but it might be too small to see.
The unusual thing about my writing happens in between letters and sometimes words: the connections. Consonant combinations are especially interesting- my favourite are all the ones with h (th, ph, sh, ch, gh, et cetera), but tl and tt and pp and such have their moments.
There are a few letters that are interesting on their own. I tried to think of a bunch, but only came up with two: capital I and lowercase k (though the uppercase is exactly the same, but without the upper ‘leg’ of the lowercase one, and with the outer ‘branches’ much larger). Hopefully you can see the stroke patterns- the one for I seems clear, but maybe not the one for k.
… You know, looking over this, it’s sort of completely unrepresentative of what I’m trying to explain. It just looks like I wrote a paragraph and then rewrote some words below. Oh well.
Overall, my handwriting is designed to be as easy and at the same time as fast and also at the same time as legible as it can be. (But mostly just fast and easy.)
Oh yeah- the underlined things you might be wondering about. The first, ‘a lot’, was noting that sometimes I do connect between words. Actually, if I’d been writing for a while instead of just picking this up, thered’ve* been a whole lot more of those.
The second, ‘somehow’, which you can’t really see, was noting that I mess up a lot. Most of my mistakes are erased, then rewritten, but this one slipped. If you can’t make it out, it’s just a little curve upward before the o- I tried and failed, then tried again, and just left the mistake. >.< As you would expect, this happens more when I'm writing particularly quickly.
The third, 'little', was noting that my writing is very variable. There I used the double-cross system that Maths Lover uses for double t and f combinations… I don’t normally, but sometimes I just write differently.
WELL then. This was unnecessarily long and complicated.
-A
*Quick note: did you know that when a word has been contracted multiple times, only the last apostrophe is used? Grammar and punctuation and spelling and properness and all that jazz are awesome.

in March 10th, 2010 @ 15:41I think I used to say it like that, too, but then my friends and I formed SPWT + 1 (or Super Powerforce Woodwind Trio Plus One: three woodwind players plus a trumpet), and that’s pronounced “spyoot plus one,” so now I say “Pwt” as a sort of combination of “Pyoot” and “Pwit.” This is in my head, though–no clue how I’d pronounce it out oud.

in March 10th, 2010 @ 16:03I also used to, but I recently found something deep in the MB archives saying that it’s pronounced like Pwit or something like that.

in March 10th, 2010 @ 16:41I pronounce it Pwit because… I just do.
Sliver Lining: I pronounce Aeiou like aay-eee-you. That’s probably wrong too.

in March 10th, 2010 @ 16:57I pronounce it “pwt”. It’s not really “pwit”, and it’s not really “pwut”. There’s a slight hint of a vowel between the w and the t, but just barely.

in March 10th, 2010 @ 19:04As do I. “Pwit” isn’t really it, because I don’t say the “i” in between, I just say…pwt. Like you said.

in March 10th, 2010 @ 15:52109) I say it like puh-ou-t (like pwn but like a t tacked on to the end). But on some occasions I say it like Pwit or Poot.

in March 16th, 2010 @ 19:27What do you wish blog people called you for a nickname?
I like Princess, Magnolia, or Princess_M, but I don’t really mind people calling me P_M even though it sounds uglyish to me.

in March 17th, 2010 @ 17:52I like the trend that Kagy started with the whole “socccaaaaa” or “staaaaa” thing. It was funny.
As for other nicknames, eh, starr is short enough. Or SS, I suppose, although that was more common when my blog name was still soccer starr.

Still – I won’t blame you if you just refer to me as the “crazy Percy Jackson freak in the corner.” That works.

Do you have any weird habits/ticks? When I’m concentrating I run my finger along the underside of my eyelashes. I have no idea why I do that.
