  • I used to like red. But I realized I really liked blue better.
    Besides, red drives bulls crazy. *nods*

    The B in the staff? Because that one's really hard. It, along with C in the staff, is really hard to master. Once you get past learning to play them, you still have to learn to control them. They're really loud because they're transitioners or something.
    But even if it was B below the staff, he shouldn't have made such a big deal out of it. I mean, it's just starting you into the lower ranges of clarinet.

    I will go check it out.

    The American educational system is a joke. You have no idea how much I hate it. I mean, I love America and everything, but we have really shoddy standards and some really stupid people.
    The smart people are really held back because of the slower people. They don't want too big a bridge between our cirriculum, you see. They want us all to be equal. Which is idiotic in itself. I mean, I get how we're all equal in the sense that we're all human and breathing. (Even if we aren't equal in life, we are in death because everyone dies.) But we can't be equal in every little thing. And that's what America was supposedly founded on. The go-getters get and the ones left behind don't.

    *sigh* As you can tell, I got pretty wound up about that.
    But honestly, it's true. I did the math one day. Picture this:

    There are 3 billion-ish Chinese people (we're not even looking at the Indians). There are 300 million-ish Americans. There are more Chinese [i]honors[/i] students than there are [i]regular[/i] American students. Their honor students are being challenged. Ours are not...so they become lazy. They settle for less just because it's easier.

    I really went into numbers and everything, but I don't have them with me and I really don't want to figure them all up again. Anyway, I came to the solution that for America to stay ahead, I would have to find a decently smart man and have seventeen children. (I base this on intelligence being hereditary.) And all of these children would have to be as smart or smarter than me AND would have to actually do something with their smarts.
    Of course, I had another thought that was dissettling. The idiots are mulitplying at a younger age and for longer periods of time. So my seventeen won't really be doing anything other than keeping the numbers the same.

    *another sigh*

    I could always just move to another country.
    (Besides, I really don't want that many children.)

  • -wave to said person name of Laura-

    Yeahhh sorry, I haven't been on the computer much as my parents don't like it. They're the sort that think you can use pen and paper and be done with it. Ah well.

    Hows things for you? :) Hows the one-shot going? xx

  • I'm a Taurus through and through. I'm a bit stubborn, yet practical. etc. etc. Plus, another site said that Tauruses really like blues (and greens for that matter). Not only is blue my favorite color, but it's pretty much the color of all my clothes.

    6.23 X 10^23
    I love moles.

    I play clarinet. O.o

    I sometimes wonder if I was meant to be a Gemini. (My due date was supposed to be May 22.)
    It's like there are two people inside of me, really. I'm wispy and have my head in the clouds. And yet....I'm also really down to earth. I mean, all people are like this to an extent, but it really depends on the day with me.

  • I like the name Chase Quinn. But Jessica Vance is pretty amazing too.

    I recommend a baby name book. They're really helpful. Or you can always just go to behindthename.com. It's a pretty nifty site as well.

    Aw, that's sweet.
    Happy three month anniversary.

    Oh, and I don't mind long ramblings.
    July 15th, 2009 at 04:09am
  • Oh, and about that animal in you thing.

    I'm either a fox, owl, or bat. I'm not dark enough to be a bat, so I figure I'm one of the other two. The owl is like all me, but the fox is pretty dead-on too. I think the animal in me can't decide what it wants to be.
    July 15th, 2009 at 03:18am
  • Yeah, I know. It's like dead on. I'm a rising Virgo which is pretty accurate (except the part about letting stress get me sick). Who knew that your personality really could be determined the day and the time of day you were born?
    Do you sound like an Aquarius as well?
    July 15th, 2009 at 03:15am
  • Oh, well, I've heard it's only about 2 1/2 days. But mine must have gotten lost in the woodwork because I think it took at least a week.

    That should be interesting to read. Tell me when it's up (if I don't see it first).
    July 15th, 2009 at 03:08am
  • Yep.

    How did Jessica come into things?
    July 15th, 2009 at 03:05am
  • Si, senor.

    I'm the same way. I don't really like all the two-faced-ness involved with politics.
    You know what I heard about Obama recently (besides the whole "Bottomgate" thing)? Apparently, he went out for a night on the town and spent one million dollars.
    You know...it's shameful. I can't really say I know anything about foreign leaders. I mean, there's good old Elizabeth and family (though they technically don't rule). And Tony Blair used to be on the scene. And there's that German lady Bush tried to feel up. And that French guy with that nose. Putin. And Castro. And that North Korean guy. But as for what really goes on in those countries, I couldn't tell you. Other than minor things that is.

    I was born 12:51 p.m. which is sort of like yours except backwards and minus a digit.

    You're an Aquarius and a rising Gemini, apparently.
    Here, look it up.

    Ooh. Girlfriend. Do tell. Is her name Jessica?

    I think about everything in the shower. I dunno why but it's a place where I can really think.

    Yeah, I wrote an article a year ago on Stephenie Meyer. Why do you ask?
    July 15th, 2009 at 02:36am
  • It's very good advice. I wish someone had told me.

    Yeah, I realize that the UK is essentially a bunch of countries. But could you explain that? I don't care if you ramble.
    I mean, you still have your individual governments, yes?
    I dunno....schools don't really teach you the interesting things. Like how Sherman -- the Civil War one -- had a pet chicken. Or how there was something called the Orphan Strip -- essentially Georgia (my state) and North Carolina fighting over a strip of land. Apparently, my folks lived in it because when I told my aunt she told me about all these maps. The maps made it appear like they were moving all over the place, but in reality it was just the same map being redrawn.

    Shouldn't your birth certificate say the time you were born?

    Yep.

    And yep again.
    I tend to get ideas in the shower. Like a character name will come to me. Or an event that will happen.

  • Thanks for the bumps. =)
    July 14th, 2009 at 11:55pm
  • Good night then.

  • I hate when something like that happens. Do you copy before pressing Submit? If you don't, I would start. It saves you a bunch of heartache when it tells you you're logged out.

    I know I know, and I would hope you would know. After all, it is your country. I just don't know which country in your country you're from. (Wait, is it really just one big country? Why keep the individual names then?)
    And darn it. I'm mad. My location is supposed to be "Somewhere only we know." Now you know where I'm from. Which isn't good when you're not from America.

    May 1, 1992 is me. You're an Aquarius, right? I asked the time of day because I was trying to figure out your "rising sign." Apparently, people born around noon (like me) are, well, I'll let you go to the site and read what they generally are.

    You're interesting. Besides, I like hearing what other people have to say.

    I was the sixth commentor.

    I'm always asking my friends what color my eyes and hair are. I mean, it's not like I can see myself. I can look in a mirror, but it's not really the same.
    My eyes are a dark green-brown. My mother's entire family has pratically the same shade.

    I'm always "playing it by ear." I can't just sit there and [i]plan[/i]. I have to get in there and just write. Ideas come to me that way.

  • animalinyou.com
    I'm interested in what you would get.
    July 14th, 2009 at 03:39am
  • For the record, I'm liking the voodoo story.
    July 14th, 2009 at 03:33am
  • Not on my contest page. On the main page with all the competitions and contest listed.

    I'm not sure what I have. O.o
    Internet Explorer?

    I was thinking there was another hour. Germany is 6.
    July 14th, 2009 at 03:32am
  • LOL! woo hoo! theres your idea! i would probably just write about a desert island with like a boat wreck or something LOL!
    July 14th, 2009 at 03:31am
  • It seems like a familiar word.
    'We' as in who? The UK has a bunch of countries you know.

    It's the Zodiac, man. Serious.
    You weren't born around noon by any chance? When's your birthday?

    Why would that bore me? I like hearing about people.
    I remember everything. Long term, that is. Short term is horrible; I can't remember what I ate for breakfast. I can, however, tell you about something that happened a decade ago.

    It was your sixth. It just seems like five because one of the people doesn't have an avatar.
    And yeah, I can see how that would make you happy. I mean, I'm happy when I get even one.

    That's weird. But not unheard of.
    My mom was blonde and then turned brown, and my dad was a violent redhead before turning brown. My hair's dark brown but sort of "coppery" according to one friend. It kind of changes color in the light. Out in the sun you can see more red.
    July 14th, 2009 at 03:28am
  • oh! LOL! well good luck with that one. i have no clue what i would write about if i got that
    July 14th, 2009 at 03:26am
  • This is very true also. Feel free to continue making little comments on my contest page. Especially when I'm heading toward the bottom of page one.

    Oh, and I never really said anything about the bookmarking thing.
    I bookmark a ton of things. I have a Mibba folder that has a bunch of subfolders. One time I bookmarked the same page twice. Once in the subfolder and once on the main page. I dunno why I did that. I was probably sleep deprived at the time.
    Coincidently, how did you bookmark twice? Like that ^ ? Because doesn't it ping and give you a message like "You already have this bookmarked"?

    Talking about sleep deprived, isn't it late? (I mean you already said that.) It's 9:12 here so I imagine it's at least 1:12 there.
