Um well, we don't write our a's like they appear on the key board. I don't know whether it was just charlotte who does them like this : a or whether it was an american thing but it's very odd. :) I have to be careful when i'm helping her with her homework to copy her a's out right. O.O

Heehee, anime con. Yep. I go to comic cons as well but there arn't any really good ones near me so we just have this one con which is kind of it all squished into one. :)

hahaha it's fine :p i keep forgetting to update it though >< i might tonight so keep a look-out :pp
it's fine :D

Lol, that's terrifying! There was a man inside the Hello Kitty? xD Well, you never really know who or what is in those costumes... aliens, most of the time, I'm sure.

Haha, well it wasn't happening all at once. I was hiking when the bear chased after my friends and I, and the explosives were made another day. But yeah, CT (my state) has the first amusement park in the US, and I was there two different days. Not nearly as good as a con, though.

Aw, that's awesome. I still haven't gone to a any good cons, although many of my friends go all the time to ComicCon and others like it. Creamy Colon sounds like the most unhealthy substance in the world for some reason. xD Cosplay is pretty cool to watch. My friend went to one decked out as a fighter from Gantz, lol.

I haven't been up to that much, just chilling. Making explosives, getting chased by bears, and going to amusement parks, etc.

Yeah, I did. That's totally unfair that you won't put one up. xP But whatever, I respect that you want your privacy. Everyone does. So how's it going?

It's some fancy thing. I don't really know either.

I had something similar happen. Except the outcome was different. It was something like noon or one in the afternoon and I was SO effing comfortable in my pj's that I didn't want to get up, so I went back to sleep. So my mom calls from the hallway, "Megan, time to get up, it's almost one in the afternoon." And, me and my sleep-addled brain thinking it would be a hilarious joke, answered, "YOU'RE almost one in the afternoon." Ten seconds later, my dad comes in saying stuff like, "Hey, Sweetie Pie, you feeling alright?" I told him I was just really comfortable, and my mom made a crack about teens sleeping so much. I hadn't actually stayed up that late. So yeah, I didn't learn anything from that. But you're grandma sounds like she was in a sour mood. My grandma would says she needs mroe bananas, because she doesn't get enough potassium.**

Oh, when i say mellophones, I don't mean people (our only mellophone quit band). We actually only had one instrument mellophone. But my previous band techer said she had ordered us another, and supposedly this one chick that was also part of the French horns was leaving band (please let it be true [this girl was actually dumb enough to tell me that she thought my twin sister was a whore - and then thought I wouldn't tell her :P])

I always thought those sounded fun, but they don't usually have anywhere around where I am (not that I hear of anyway) and I don't really have anyone that would want to go with me. I had a bit of a phase about it, and I still kind of appreciate it. But I don't watch much tv, mostly just Bones (and that's withered down since the season finale) and Supernatural. And then a vague interest with Frankling & Bash and Wilfred. And I couldn't really keep the patience to stay with it. Always loved the movies though, occasionally. I tried reading Manga a bit too, but I got a bit imapatient with how they would add very unserious plot twists. Just not my thing I guess.

**Story behind this: My bro's first girlfriend (he would kill me if he knew I was telling other people this stuff, but I'm not mentioning names) was definitively crazy and moody. When my bro told my grandma about this, a few weeks before he broke it off (he had tried several times before and she kept begging for him to not break it off). My grandma, a registered nurse, diagnosed that said girlfriend's potassium level was low and she needed to eat more bananas (she told my bro to tell her this) and she gave him some pills to give her. Because that would go over well (sarcasm).

um...my message was too long..lol sorry about that. Basically, the bit that's missing appolgized for the length and went into detail about the many ethnicities of people I know and that live in Britain. er sorry >/////<

I can't wait for the end of High School either! Only two yeares left. *crosses fingers* Then Imma take a gap year and TRAVEL! Or if I win the young potitician prize I can go be a Scottish Embassador in Japan or America for a year, all expenses paid, and study in a college there. :) Happy days! Okay, I'm a freak, too in that case. I swear, my life's ambition is to meet someone from lichtenstien. And rent it for my 21st birthday. And invite everyone who lives there so I cam meet MOAR people from Liechtenstien. :D

It's not strange that you love learning at all! It's actually part of human nature, to aquire new knowledge and all that so those people who don't love learning are odd. -.- Kali Rose, sticking up for geeks everywhere. Oh yea. :P Don't worry, I'm a total geek when it comes to languages and cultures as well (and every other subjects I take *cough cough* nerrrrrrd *cough cough* who said dat?)

Well, the European counties in the EU technically have no boundries either, as you don't need a passport to go from one to the other (unless you're Brittish and your government decided to keep passports for some bizzarre reason) and there's no change in currency either as most ountries in the EU use Euros (of, course, unless your brittish in which case your country uses pounds and gets frowned upon by France because France+England= ENEMIES! But France and Scotland share a bond over thier shared hate for England! Yay!) And there's a certain way in which the education system stays vaguely the same so you can go to a university or get a job anywhere in the EU, as well.

Sadly, the whole ignorance thing you talked about I kind of have to agree with, however I assume there are also a large group of individuals like yourself who either are culturally aware or desire to be so, and that makes it better.

Over here we are very culturally diverse. We have a large Indian and Middle Eastern community, as well as a mix of people from all parts of the Brittish ilses and also all the working Immigrants that may only work for the summer or whatever. Often they are Polish or Lithuanian and such. All my freinds come from different places actually. Quite a few are simply Brittish, ie were probably born in Scotland but may actually have ansestors in Ireland or Wales or England. One of my friendswas born in Norway but is very much English. Another, Nethmi, is a from Sri Lanka and moved over here at the age of 4. One of them is Mormon so was born here but brought up until she was about 10 in America and still writes her "A"a accordingly as well as sometimes spelling words the American way. I tease her about it because she denys being American but speaks with a slight American accent. She is always saying, "And she/he's all". My boyfreind, Zhengwen, is Chinese and moved to America when he was 6 or something and then moved here when he was 9 because his parents wanted him to have a better education and stuff. I myself am from a Pakistani background with my gran and grandad and elder aunts being born in Pakistan, or India, depending on whether the country had split or not at the time they were born, you know? And obviously we have black people here as well but we just class them as Scottish or Brittish or whatever because...they were born here so that's what they are. I mean, we have exchange students from all over Europe and America all the time as well as ones that simply move who I just don't really know that well so you know, we're very mixed. The only places which arn't really mixed are up far in the Highlands where it's tiny little rural old fashioned villages and what not. Even then, it's often a mix of Scottish Jacobite desendents and Norwegians or Danes depending how far out you go. *shrugs* I don't really notice much unless I know the person well enough to take an interest in thier family. It's interesting to learn about people's roots and lives and stuff but other than that it makes no odds to me apart from leaning some cool stuff about a country I didn't know. :)

Yea, I know all about new york and how it's the "mixing bowl" as we studied it in Modren Studies. I find it odd how one place can be soo... mixed and another so not. :)

Sorry for the uber length of this... *re-reads it* That's a lot to read. Sorry but I find this topic very interesting for some reason. :)

Nope, don't have posers at my school, but don't have hard core players either.

I love competing ;.; I wish I had my DS back, I miss my Pokemons. Sorry for late reply btw.

I've neverrr been to Comic Con, always wanted too! Lol. You're soo lucky!

:DD oh no no, please, flood away. i totally don't mind haha
glad you liked it though, i have an idea where i'm going with it but i'm not sure how it'll turn out, you know? lol there was no beast, it was an old tale the old folks in the town would tell to scare the kids away from the forest. Anna's first lie (she drove him mental btw xD)

For the whole hospital thing, that's how I am and get. Stupid guilty mind D:

and hmmm, I was thinking Columbia. The one in New York city C: Some of my teachers will help, due to when I have to write a essay or paper. IDK. ha. But I'm looking forward to it. And high school, don't sweat it. It just new kids. school, and teachers. Freshman year is the best. Trust me, it'll go by ever so fast C:

You just said that same thing as me, just in a different way. And you use my avatar as inspiration... not fair. xD But alas, you must forgive me. I have a tiny ant brain that I have to sort all of this through. That's yet another disadvantage. For example, for one thing, I'd never win against you in a fight. If we ever went toe to toe... or rather, toe to body, I'd lose that as well. Yoda must've been well into his senility when he said "Size matters not."

Well, I have to admit, even though I knjow obviously people are not always going to from England or Britain I always do a double take when I see that the person I'm talking to on here is from a different country. It's so cool.

hahaha, I do speak other languages. I speak semi-fleunt French, and alas, I am part French but it's mainly because I take it in school. For which the accent comes naturally when speaking French. I speak a tiny nit of other European languages, like the main ones; Spanish and German and I like to sing songs in Finnish and Russian ans Greek and so on and so forth. However, my favourite of all the languages I know is Latin. I don't so mcuh speak it is translate litrature but if need be I could have a conversation or tell a story in it. I also understand and know a very little Urdu and Punjabi and I can read ancient Arabic texts, although for the life of me i couldn't tell you what it means, but could recognise a few words. What about you?

Actually, it's really weird that because I live here in Britain we are very much isolated from the rest fof Europe, especially since we mostly speak English whereas with other countries in Europe they all pretty much know each other's languages well. Mainly becausethey live so close so moving country in the main body of Europe is like moving state in America because we're all so closely linked, except of the UK as we are kind of excluded dispite being in the EU, we like to keep to ourselves mainly which is a wee shame.

Everything you've said is true. There is no universal norm. For you, trees, mountains, and other elements of nature are a certain size. You don't expect a mountain to be smaller than you, or else it wouldn't be a mountain. It'd just be a rock. The same goes for comparing blades of grass to trees. It's relative to the observer because it is the observer's expectation that designates what size they expect other things to be in relation to themselves. The person in a community of short people thinks the tallest person is tall, yet in the next community over the shortest of them is still taller than the tallest person in your community. See what I'm getting at?

Truthfully, I think you're just getting at the idea that you're better than me because I'm an ant, and you're a human. You can't accept the idea that you're big, so you say I'm small. I can accept the face that we are both normal by the standards of our species, but that does not deny the fact that you're a giantess, and that it goes all the way down to microorganisms who think both of us are immense as well. Understand my view?

lmao thank youu~! yayayay!
go look now. there's a second chapter!

No, I know what your talking about, abut it's pronounced Cirque do so lay. I know that's how it's not spelled... Ya, we also had different instructors every time.

How have I not heard of thiis man? 0.o

Good luck. And if you don't mind me prying, why were you grounded?

Yeah, I'm actually pretty excited to start. I just hope they have enough melaphones (marching French horns) for us. Which should only be two, but they only had one last lear. I also probably didn't spell that right.

Well, to be honest I usually nhave an English accent anyway as my mum is English so when around her I happen to speak with an English/ Brittish accent. However, if I'm angry or with my Dad or just for some other reason I revert back to my Scottish one which is, in general, "Aye, I ken. Nut, ken wut, emma smash h'r face in. Ew, whut a gadgy." At least, that is what you would hear on a regular basis walking down my school corridor. I tend not to say those things. And there are loads of different Scottish accents, so it's very hard to know which one you're listening to unless you've heard me speak, you know? Anyway, the accent litrally changes from Glasgow (the city just across the Tay river from mine) to where I live. We all make fun of the Glasweegen accents, it's that silly.

To be honest, I'm not really sure of an American accent either. I mean, I could go akll out and make you talk all southern but then again chances are you don't talk like that...so I imagine you just speak normally or like one of those American actresses.
