in March 18th, 2010 @ 13:01We’ll kick off this new edition with a question from the end of the previous thread:
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. (asked by Silver Lining)

in March 18th, 2010 @ 13:26First non-GAPA post! (hopefully) I often crack my neck, my back, and my knuckles (all the knuckles, not just the finger-base ones). I have no idea why.

in April 3rd, 2010 @ 10:38Haha. The other day my dad was quizzing me, and I started chewing on my hair. My dad’s like “Don’t do that or I’ll cut off your hair.” and I’m like “oh I was chewing on my hair?!”

in April 2nd, 2010 @ 21:56I wiggle my ears a little or do this weird thing with my fingers (thumb under my chin, middle finger curved below my lower lip, index finger sticking straight up next to my nose) when I’m thinking about something. Or spacing out. Usually the latter.

in March 18th, 2010 @ 16:25When I’m nervous, I pull my ears back.
I have a sort of tick, I guess, with my eyes/eyebrows; I’m not sure if I can describe it though. First I raise my left eyebrow, then I raise both eyebrows really high then scrunch them down while rolling my eyes. When I do it, it’s usually repeated about four times before I stop. According to the mother, I do this often while reading/using the computer. It drives her nuts.
When I’m nervous, I play with my hair.
When I push my glasses up, I push my nose down afterwards. All the time. :SI’m sure I’ve got more…. But those are the main ones that bug me and/or people around me.

Pax the Hamster
in March 18th, 2010 @ 19:21I bite the inside of my cheek, twirl my hair, tap my foot, and the one that bugs people the most: I have to take my shoes off to think. I always wear sandals and slip them off whenever possible.
New question: What is everyone’s birth order? As in, are you the inly child, oldest of four, what? I have a very complicated family, but I usually say that I’m the second youngest of five. Three of those are my half-siblings, so I could be considered oldest of two…and then when you add the in-laws, life gets really complicated.

Errata
in March 18th, 2010 @ 23:04Through Chatterbox. Found the link to that in the back of the Cricket we used to get, went on it, kept hearing about MuseBlog on there, came to find it, found it, abandoned Chatterbox. Very nearly. I went back fairly frequently for the first while, but then stopped going so often. Now, if I were to go back, most of the friends I made during my brief stay would be gone, and I have so many more here, that it’s really not worth it. Not to mention I have a really difficult time being active on two sites at once. Don’t ask me why.

Robert Coontz (Administrator)
in March 20th, 2010 @ 18:32No, flavorless carbonated water is called seltzer water or soda water. (Club soda has a little salt mixed in, too, I think.) Tonic has a bitter taste. It’s flavored with quinine, a chemical found in the bark of a tree that originally came from Peru. I’ve been told that the British colonial rulers of India used to drink tonic water to protect themselves against malaria. (Quinine is an anti-malaria drug.)

For me, a green calendar page pops up for January, then it disappears followed by a pink one for February, then a blue one for March, then a pink one for April, then a yellow one for May, then a yellow one for June, then a white one for July, then a pink one for August, then an orange one for October, then a brown one for November, then finally, a dark red one for December.

in April 1st, 2010 @ 23:43I don’t really like May. Or feel strongly about it. I associate colours or events from last year with the other months, but May is always on the fringe. Maybe nothing mmajor has ever happened to me in May?

in May 8th, 2010 @ 10:40When someone says a word, do you occasionally spell it out in your head? For example, whenever I hear the word “occasion,” I automatically go “O-C-C-A-S-I-O-N” in my head.

If I say a word over and over/write a word over and over, I start feeling like it isn’t actually a word.
I love chanting random words over and over- it annoys people so much and makes them feel like whatever word I’ve picked to chant isn’t actually a word.

in May 8th, 2010 @ 12:51This happens to me. Suddenly a word starts to seem very weird to me. Like ‘donkey’. Why is that a word? Why do these two syllables make a word? Don. Key. Donk. Ey. Do. N. Key.
The walls of my room are mostly bare. There are a few stains and handprints on the wall above my bed, though, form me jumping on it and hitting the wall. There’s a clock… The calendar fell off my wall, but it was a 2009 calender anyways. Some Arabic calligraphy-quilts. Yup, it’s boring.
My floor, on the other hand…
-clothing
-knitting needles and yarn
books
backpacks
blankets, pillows, stuffed animals
random papers
all my furniture, especially…
…my bed, which lacks a bed stead

in July 1st, 2010 @ 15:32Two questions:
1) Where did the name you use on MB come from?
2) Do you have a photographic memory?
.
I’ll answer:
1) The character in the Harry Potter books. He seems wise and slightly crazy.
2) I *think* so… I can remember where specific phrases are on the page of a book, and I remember what my notes look like, and where certain pieces of information are.
.
47- Ostrich, it was delicious. And I’ve had alligator too, but it was a little bit too rubbery. I have an aunt in NC, her neighbors actually go out and hunt squirrels to make squirrel stew. :O
Tics- I flip my bangs when I’m thinking.

2. Yes, extremely. If I think about it for three seconds I could tell you exactly what was sitting on Mr. S’s desk in his studio, and I’ve only been in there three times, I think. (A clock that looks like a piano, a pen, and some paper)47-
Hm…. Raw fish eggs? Except I’ve eaten them all my life. OH I KNOW!
Natto! It’s fermented soybeans, and if you start thinking about the texture of it while eating it, you feel like you’re going to barf. But it’s one of my favourite foods, as long as I make sure NOT to think about the texture and consistency.Tics: I chew on my hair when I’m thinking, my ears go backwards if I’m nervous, I pick at the skin on my thumbs all the time, I do my weird eyebrow scrunch/eyeroll thing, and my fingers are almost constantly in motion.

Cat's Meow
in September 18th, 2010 @ 18:061) Have you ever heard the expression “the cat’s meow”? It’s apparently from the 20’s, but I didn’t know what until I just Googled it. Anyways, I think my brain was thinking somewhere along those lines when I came back and decided to pick a completely new name from the one I’d posted with about three times.
2) I’m not sure. I have a pretty darn good memory when I actually try to remember something, and like other people have mentioned I can remember where phrases are in books and what my notes look like. But I’m bad at those images where you’re supposed to look at it for a while and then answer some questions about it from memory. I always focus on certain things, which I’ll likely remember, but then I don’t pay attention to the number of spots on the dog, or whatever.

I wanted my name to end in 101, a tradition that started with an online strategy game. I thought at first to call myself Weirdo 101 or Weirdosity 101, but I felt that they just weren’t right. Because of a game that I played with Cskia, and how bad I was at it, en thought of Telepathy Failure 101, which I liked, but I thought there could be something better. I ended up choosing my name because I like being random. And I liked the sound of it.

48- name- I started out on chatterbox and experimented with names there. I wanted to have night in my name and so I tried Nitelite but didn’t like that. I then-for some reason that I have forgotten-added hawk to my name. After Nitelite it was Nitehawlk but I didn’t like the misspelling of hawk, so I changed it to Nitehawk. Eventually I got tired of the misspelling of nite and changed it to Nighthawk.

See, you can compare pirates and ninjas to the Spanish armada and the English fleet during the Battle of Gravelines in 1588. Ninjas are faster and more agile, whereas pirates, though they may be larger, are less skilled, and quite frankly, drunk. So ninjas always win.

in September 18th, 2010 @ 11:02You’re marching in 5/4 too? Oh my goodness, my band isn’t the only crazy one! It’s at the beginning of the third movement, and we’re marching it as dottedquarter/dottedquarter/quarter/quarter (which is how the melody goes). It’s better than what my band director initially wanted to do, which was march half notes (which doesn’t work, at all) but it’s still a little weird. What’s your show based on?
My favorite time signature is probably 6/8 as well. Or maybe 7/8; we played a piece in band last year called Slava! that had a really fun middle section in 7/8.

Beedle the Bard
in September 18th, 2010 @ 18:02We’re just marching to each quarter note, so our leading foot changes every measure. Often, if we’re marching the right way, we end up with a foot sticking out. But it’s Mission: Impossible, so the tune is easy to pick up on and easy to play. In the opening set, we’re a bomb, then the color guard light us on fire, and we explode.
I’m listening to a Japanese elementary school band playing Slava! right now. It’s scary, these kids are like, five, and they’re better than our Wind Ensemble.
But it’s an awesome song.

in September 18th, 2010 @ 22:07Oh, that’s pretty cool! Yeah, marching quarter notes is the most logical way to do it but doesn’t really work for our show, since the melody doesn’t divide up that way. That sounds like a pretty awesome show!
Is the elementary school playing Slava! back up? That was an incredible video. They were better than us, too! My favorite band piece we’ve ever played is Mannin Veen.

starr
in September 18th, 2010 @ 13:30Just feel like going through and answering some questions on this thread that I haven’t….
48 – 1) My name was originally soccer starr, the only reason was because I like soccer (duh) and needed a noun at the end of it, so star came to mind. To make it more unique I added another “r” at the end of starr. Eventually I just shortened it to starr when I went through a “I don’t like soccer so much” phase and had a really bad experience on a team.
2) Sort of. When we’re studying something in school, often I can remember where on a page (top, bottom, left, right) the answer is found, but not what the answer is. (Yes, this presents an obvious problem…)54 – NINJA POWA, I don’t care if it’s a trick question.
58 – Metal bird wings.
59 – I would basically choose my own hair only a tiny bit lighter in color (it’s black…well, very dark brown) but otherwise I like it.

Ambystoma Maculatum and Joolb (~)_+) (10 wung points)
in September 18th, 2010 @ 17:1225 – 1) I’m not sure. I agree with Enceladus that it would make the Master happy but not the Daleks, but the Master would probably give people more drawn-out and painful deaths for his amusement.
2) The Red Queen. As I remember, she wasn’t evil, just cold and calculating. Although if the King of Hearts would also come with the Queen, I’d choose her, as the King pardoned everyone she condemned.48 – 1)The scientific name for the spotted salamander.
2) A little. I can remember specific images if I try to, and can often remember where on the page in a book a particular scene takes place.58 – Metal bird wings. If they weren’t metal I might go for the bat wings, though.

I’d have to think about it for a while.

bookgirl_me
in November 9th, 2010 @ 03:14I do too, sometimes, but more like graphs or functions. Beethoven give me headaches because it’s pointy and then square where it’s supposed to be round, etc, etc. I dunno, this sort of thing only happens when I listen to classical music, which is probably why I don’t like it much. The pointy-ness gives me headaches and the square-ish parts bore me or annoy me. Some pointy-ness is okay, if it flows right (like the Radtzky March) , and the Blue Danube waltz is beautiful, like little ripples even though it’s almost square at times but without the edges and the square bits aren’t long. My mom can sort of do this too, I think, but it makes her love classical music instead. Anything non-classical never has caused anything like this, which is nice. Still, I think it has more to do with the highs and lows of the music than actual synthesia, the rise and fall of the music.

Enceladus
in November 8th, 2010 @ 20:30Sort of.
For all my favorite pieces of music, I can feel a palette of colors. For example, Eric Whitacre’s piece “October” (Which everyone should look up!) gives me gradient ranging from a soft honey orange yellow to a dead leaf brown. However, his piece “Lux Aurumque” gives me a palette of white to a very light gray. There aren’t any specific colors, just general feelings of them. I don’t see them, so it’s probably not Synesthesia.
The same things with some really good books- I imagine a palette of colors which are most of the colors I picture. For example, I picture 1984 as being essentially black and white, and the people just pale, nearly specters. Harry Potter books are a dark yellow grey, with regal, muted though bright tones.

Rosebud2
in November 9th, 2010 @ 20:23Yes, definitely. I can feel colors and shapes in music, albeit a bit vaguely. In orchestra, particularly if I know what notes are being played, different notes will have different colors. For example, E’s are green, A’s are yellow, and D’s are blue. They’re all the same colors as I imagine the letters to be unrelated to music (though I don’t actually see things as written in them), and the deeper the note, the darker the color. I know I see shapes, but I can’t really describe them or picture them well, but high notes have clear, defined edges and are narrow, but deeper notes are blurry, sort of like oil pastel on paper, and wider. I can picture violin and viola music well, cellos a bit less clearly, but basses’ music is so dark and blurry it just looks like a big blob of gray-brown, which is probably why I don’t like basses much. Pizzicato, and other “beep”-ish noises are easier to distinguish. I also feel images of non music sounds.

in November 11th, 2010 @ 20:28While we’re on the subject of music, does anyone sing harmonies to songs when they sing to them? I do, sometimes. Of course, my voice occupies “that strange half-world between being able to sing and not being able to sing where I’m not quite sure if I can sing or not and no one will tell me if I can or not”, (:lol:) so I’m pretty sure it doesn’t sound that great, but it’s fun. Today, I sang “Your Guardian Angel” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus with “Underwater Waltz” by Ben’s Imaginary Band, and they sounded perfect together.

Kokonilly
in February 22nd, 2011 @ 19:46Wonder – Looking up at the sky, open-mouthed.
My name came from a combination of Kokopelli and nillybuckbuck, Kokopelli being obvious and nillybuckbuck being an idiotic genius (y’know, someone who can do calculus but thinks that 3 squared is 3 – true story).
Semi-photographic. I am very absent-minded but I know where words are on a page. For example, in my edition of Hamlet the “to be or not to be” soliloquy starts on the left-hand page, about 2/3 of the way down.
On my walls? Posters from Science Olympiad nationals tournament, a couple periodic tables, light blue paint, and a random square of duct tape. Also, a poster from a puzzle I never finished showing how to complete it. It was about different palaces in London, and also how I learned King Henry VIII’s six wives.
Superiority complex, please.
I learned “obtain” and “telekinesis” from Pokemon…
I don’t know what I could possibly be but Kokonilly. I always use Kokonilly; it’s actually part of my identity now.Wow, this is disastrously out of order and cobbled together. Ah well.

in February 22nd, 2011 @ 20:21Oh, if banshees count as undead, they’re my favorite type as well.
My memory isn’t photographic, but it is visual. It’s just like Randomosity’s except that mine is blurry, like a Monet painting. My mind will be focused on one part of the memory, and that will be clear enough, but the rest is fuzzy. I’m really bad at finding words on a page, though, because I’m not even truly thinking about what they look like; I’m automatically envisioning the meaning. It isn’t just my memory and reading process, either; I think in blurry images and videos.

in February 22nd, 2011 @ 20:41Technically banshees are harbingers of death, not undead themselves. They’re of the SÃdhe, a fairy-like folk in Gaelic mythology. SÃdhe actually means “the mounds,” and “bean sÃdhe” is a woman of the mounds.

However, in Pokemon Red and Blue, the glitch Pokemon ‘M can learn Fly. And it can evolve into Kangaskhan. So you can get yourself a Kangaskhan with Fly. Sadly, that does not mean it actually has wings.

in March 4th, 2011 @ 08:56Mine… eh, long story. Sometime around November ’09, I found a cute brunette manga figure that I used as gravatar, with both my eye color and approx. hair-lenght, holding a rose. I thought it was cute and sort of symbolic and used it as avatar. I though of using it again, but somehow it just portrays what I wanted to be like at 14 (hint: nicer, more social, possible R&R). So I found a new picture, that seems a little more grown up but still out there, wild hair but still pretty & serene. Neither of them look like me facially, obviously, but I still like them.

Piggy is too kind, I’m nowhere near graceful enough to be considered a dancer, though I do enjoy contras.
The picture was taken wit photobooth (my computer was on the floor) and I was doing a steppy sort of thing, to look dancery. Apparently I succeeded.

POSOC
in March 3rd, 2011 @ 23:17Well…
I was originally captain_cynomys, because Cynomys is the genus name for the prairie dog, which was my favorite animal at the time. I changed it to Prarilius Canix shortly after the Pie War to distance myself from my noobishness (I was a big fan of the Edge Chronicles at the time, so I gave myself a name in its style). I don’t remember why I created Sir Ozlips, my first alter ego, but I do remember that Ozlips was the name of a minor character in the Akiko series by Mark Crilley. My second alter ego was created for the Pieceful Pie Planet; his name was Oob, which was basically a random silly-sounding syllable. Switching between alter egos eventually got tiresome, so I decided to turn my names into an acronym; Prarilius Oob Sir Ozlips Canix, or POSOC for short. With the exception of minor variations, I’ve been POSOC ever since.

Tesseract
in March 4th, 2011 @ 07:07In eighth grade, my friend and I had to do a math project on any topic of our choosing (my math teacher was a big fan of barely-related-to-math projects) and we chose theoretical physics. The project involved a lot of watching of Flatland and imprompteau discussions, often in the middle of the hallway, of directions which we cannot see. We both found it tremendously interesting, although I feel like the class wasn’t able to follow our presentation too well… Oops. Anyway, during that time I learned that a tesseract is a four-dimensional cube, and spent a while messing around on sites that allow you to manipulate a projection of a tesseract.
Four months into the phase, at the beginning of 9th grade, I joined MuseBlog, and it seemed like a decent name. I think I had it noncaptialized for about three days before capitalizing it to Tesseract, which was my only name “change” to date!

bookgirl_me
in March 4th, 2011 @ 08:43Well, first of all I want everyone to appreciate the gargantuan amount of thought that went into my name- kidding. Let me explain: when I was twelve, my family got our first internet modem and I actually had continuous access to the internet (outside of brief use of it at school for projects and some stolen time on *site*) for the first time in my life. I made an account at *site*. I had no idea what usernames were supposed to look like back then, but based on a few examples, I settled on “bookgirl”. But that name was taken. Suggestions ran along the lines of bookgirl_97, bookgirl_13, etc… I didn’t want a number, so I went with bookgirl_me instead.
Then I had no more internet for half a year and didn’t miss it much and then I found MB. I’d already thought of a username before, I figured, so I unceremoniously typed “bookgirl_me” in the “Name” space and posted.
I considered changing my name several times, since it a) was a pain in RPGs where MBers acted as characters and b) it seemed a little immature. But by the time I decided to change my name after all, the “who’s posted how much” thingy came out and I reconsidered. Besides, I basically had a chance to try out a new name when MB1 went down and I posted on MA logged into my gravatar account, namely skybluebunny (the opposite of
s). I got tired of that name too, eventually, so I figured if I did change my name, I’d just keep changing it every few months or so and never be happy with it. So I stuck with bookgirl_me (though Violet Sky(e) still tempts me sometimes).

starr
in March 4th, 2011 @ 17:10I started out as soccer starr because at the time I discovered MB, I was more involved in soccer than I am now and I honestly have no idea where the star came from, it just sort of popped into my brain when I was first commenting. (Actually, I’m pretty sure I started out as crazyreader101 or something along those lines, but when I realized that MB is not really as chat-roomy than I originally thought, I felt that soccer starr was more appropriate.) Soccer starr was shortened to starr, and I’m happy with it.

If I were to go by anything different, it would be Xenomorphida, but I like my name and don’t need to change it.

Midnight Fiddler
in March 4th, 2011 @ 10:45I started out as Princess Aqua, which was a friend’s nickname/alter ego at the time. Then after deciding that it wasn’t me, I switched to Midnight*Fiddler because I play fiddle and am a night owl and it generally made more sense then Princess Aqua. The * was to be like a star in the night sky, I think. Which I liked, but then one time I forgot to do it (because I was using the library computers at this point) and decided to drop it permanently, and I’ve been referred to as MF or Fiddler ever since. I believe Alice was the first to call me Fiddler as an abbreviation, and I must say that I prefer it over MF. It seems to have become the norm now, which is nice.
My gravatar account sometimes messes up my posts by singing me in as “bemusedmuser.”All this begs the question, if you have a longish MB name, what do you prefer to be referred to as? (Eg. Tesseract/Tess, Enceladus/Enc, Choklit Orange/CO, etc.)

In Latin, your name means, the best, noblest, and aristocratic.

in March 4th, 2011 @ 13:55I don’t really have a preference as to what I go by. Any version of my name will do except for a few that no-one would use anyway like Ophe, Bib, and Bible. I’ve been called Bibliophile and Biblio, both of which I like.

in March 5th, 2011 @ 11:17A bibliophile is by definition “a person who collects or has a great love of books.” So yes, I think it would be safe to assume that Bibliophile likes books.

in March 5th, 2011 @ 12:23Yes, I love them. Luna’s right. Bibliotheca actually means library in English (presumably related to the Spanish word), and it’s really fun to use. Also, a bibliomaniac is a book collector.

Cat's Eye
in March 5th, 2011 @ 01:23There was a default picture on my dad’s old laptop of a cat’s eye peering through a mousehole. So on a fanfiction site, I called myself Cat’s Eye Through a Mousehole. Everyone there called me Cat’s Eye, though, so I stuck with just that for MB. I think Cat’s Eye is short enough not to need a nickname, except when I’m being compared with Meow, when I’m Eye.
If I had another name, I’d be Frenchie, Watson, Dr. Chili Pepper, Bookbook, Indigo Sto Helit, or Sue de Nimme. None of them have any reasoning behind them whatsoever.

Selenium the Quafflebird
in March 14th, 2011 @ 10:56Let’s see.
Selenium the Quafflebird – actual, full ‘blog name
Then there’s:
Selenium, Quafflebird, StQ, Sel, Selen, Se, Seleni, Selly, Leni, Quaffy, Quaffles
that I’ve seen somewhere.
Wow. I really am ‘multiple-nicknamed’ (as I think Ducky once said?)
Personally, Se, Selen and Selly are a little weird, maybe because no one’s used them before, but I suppose you can use them if you want. I like Sel – it seems to be the most popular ‘short’ version. All the others work too.

in March 20th, 2011 @ 20:28The Muses: Which JKR Houses? It’s a thread, but a closed one. I found it via the random button. Apparently it was for a fanpage project. What was it, by the way? I wasn’t here when the fanpage was, unfortunately; I would have loved to see it. Anyway, I think it would be:
Kokopelli: Slytherin, definitely. He’s obviously cunning, and he certainly has ambition.
Urania: Ravenclaw
Mimi: Slytherin
Chad: Ravenclaw
Aeiou: Ravenclaw
Crraw: Not Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff… Slytherin?
Pwt: Hm. He’s very loyal and hardworking, but his hard work is to achieve his own goals. I think he’d do very well in either Hufflepuff or Slytherin. I think I’ll put him in Hufflepuff, though, just because that includes more than one aspect of him. Anyway, he’s fair, too; he wouldn’t capture Crraw when he was defenseless even though he’d wanted to for years. Yes, I definitely think he’d be in Hufflepuff.
Feather: Hufflepuff, of course!
Bo: Ravenclaw! Many people put him in Hufflepuff on the thread, but I can’t think why; he’s a genius, and have we ever seen him do any work at all?
More importantly, The Muses: Which Muse Academy Houses? I think it would be something like this:
Kokopelli: Baker, of course!
Urania: Coontz, definitely!
Chad: Coontz, without a doubt!
Aeiou: Coontz!
Crraw: Spector
Pwt: …I have no idea. Probably not Coontz… Lasley? No, Spector.
Feather: Spector
Mimi: Spector
Bo: Coontz
But that means that Lasley House gets no Muses! That’s unacceptable! I think I’ll put Mimi there, then.
…Which means my 2 Houses get the most muses! Yay! I promise that wasn’t at all intentional, though.

This tends to complicate personality tests. When they judge based on what people do, I often get F, but when they judge based on what people are actually good at doing, I always get T.

My F is super-duper strong and my N is pretty strong as well. I near the midpoint between E and I, however, and although I am fairly confident in my Perceiving nature, I am by far the most Judging person in my family at home (Purple Panda is a very strong J, but my dad and brother are 100% P), which makes things difficult for us to stay organized at home.

Although I am Perceiving, something (probably my strong F) gives me a bit of the organized, J-type characteristics.
That is a most solid INTP brain you’ve got there.

Ducky – If pencil sharpeners are mean to you, and you can’t have a knife, you should use sandpaper. It works really well.I am the middlest of three children. My sister is Purple Panda, 3 years (and 4 months) my elder, and my brother is almost 5 years younger than I.
