    I did see them on sunrise =D
    I thought they were going to be on there really early so I got up early to watch it but I ended up going back to bed until they came on then I was late to school because I wasn't ready in time hah

    Do you live in Australia? I'm guessing you do since you can watch sunrise l0l

    Oh, that's...good for you at least. :) Ha, I know what that's like. When I get sick, I get [i]really[/i] sick. Like, on my death bed sick, and I miss whole weeks of school. >_> Fun.

    Haha, of course. She's getting back at us for the invention of cars, I think. Like reminding us all who's really in control.
    Ah, I Google everything. It's magic. :)

    Well, the school still needs to prevent chaos, I guess. =/ At least look like they have some sliver of control.

    o.o Oh wow. All I can remember is being forced to get a book from the library every week, for school, and hating it, until I actually tried reading the books I checked out.

    Ooh, maybe. :) I totally just realized that I don't want to be taller than I am now. I'm as tall as my mother now - which may be because she's getting shorter - so it's all good.

    =/ He was either marrying roman soldiers illegally, or he was a prisoner with a cool sounding name. Whichever. That's true though, so it doesn't matter at all. And there [i]is[/i] next year. :)

    Ha, maybe it's just something about sibling's girl/boyfriends. They are designed to be annoying. :) Thanks. It's all right, just gross feeling, I guess.

    =/ There was a fire threat? How do you know that you're in danger of catching fire? Eh...schools are stupid, as are the people that run them, and generally the people that work there. They should have just closed the school. One day.

    Eh...
    Ah, I'm sorry. :( Everyone is getting sick all of the sudden. It's weird.

    It's another one of natures lovely, pre-planned "take that, stupid humans!" things then. I [i]really[/i] need to start watching the news. >_> Eh, I'll Google it, later.

    That's how it is with every...uh, organization, or business. (Organization is a creepy word o.o) You'll always have the people who demand order, and the ones that gave up trying to find it.

    I still remember the book that got me obsessed with reading. The Giver, by Lois Lowery. I'm one of the geeks that loves assigned reading. :) But I'll read as many decent books as I can find.

    Yeah, I figured. I blame my mother for my shortness; she drank coffee when she was pregnant with me. >_> Though, my brother is roughly 6'6", and she drank coffee then too.

    Ah, sorry. Valentine's Day is a greeting card holiday anyway, named after some guy for a reason no one is certain of, and placed on a random date. As far as I know, that is.

    Hm. My brother's girlfriend has come home, and is staying in our house. So, my father is upset, because she was supposed to leave yesterday. =/ And the rest of us are dying weather-change related sinus pain. Yay! Ha, but other than that... :)

    It's alright, really. I hope you get better soon. :)

    Oh wow. That's...poor England. Crewel is a really good word. Biting and stinging insects need to all go and die. >_>
    I don't know what's up though. Two days ago it was like spring, and now we're supposed to get snow again? The weather needs to make up its mind.

    Ha, I think schools just don't want to bother enforcing dress codes. Like, they'll make it seem like something really awful will happen if you aren't dressed appropriately, but no one's going to notice anyway.

    That's cool. My sister doesn't really read, I don't think. =/ Normally, for us, it's more like I steal my mother's books while she's reading them, and then a few months later my sister will pick it up and never finish it. :)

    My mother is like, a caffeine addict. She drinks six cups in the morning. It can't be healthy.

    I actually think that's better than most people get. Though, I know people who try to sleep for twelve. =/

    Eh, fine I guess? I'm a little sorry to say the only think I cared about that day was this really gory movie that came on the television that night. o.o

    How about yours?

    Oh. Ew, the weather sounds just terrible there.

    England is flooded? I think I need to start watching the news again... But yeah, there has to be some part that isn't. It's a big place. Ugh, I know. It's getting warmer here, and all the gross, annoying bugs are coming back out. :(

    Ah, we don't have uniforms. Basically, all the school says is: No weapons or spikes, don't be distracting, and wear clothes.

    Haha. That's cool. I don't know, sometimes it amazes me that teachers have real lives. It shouldn't, but that's fifteen years of television poisoning my brain, I guess.

    Ah, yeah. Sometimes my mother will be looking at a book I want to get, and she'll see that it's a series with like, five plus other books in it, and she's just like...no.
    It totally would. I think I need a job at my favorite book store, if only to get the discount that I will surely need in the future, when I am broke. :) I can't get a job until August - September though. So, whatever.

    Me either. Coffee is just...kind of gross. It smells really nice, but I don't understand how anyone can drink large amounts. Like two sips.

    What? That's just ridiculous...Actually, no it isn't. Nine hours is a good number. But there's no way that most actually get that. =/

    Haha. Happy Valentines Day to you too. :)

    Oh my gosh, that's so awful. Global Warming... >_> People are stupid, and that's really all I can say about it, without throwing myself into rant mode.

    Ah, it's okay. A lot of the people I end up talking to aren't in the US. I've just accepted that I'll never have any clue what they're talking about, and tracked down a decent converter. :)

    I'd assume it depends on the area and the weather. A good heat wave would probably bring out bunches of them. =/ They die in the cold though, so I think it'd good in the cooler months.

    Ah, those are nice colors. :) Everyone at my school complains, because out sister school has green, gold and white. Are colors are gross next to theirs. >_> I actually like the brown and white enough, but I'm not picky with colors.

    Yeah, that's understandable. Seriously. Everyone that I talk to, often or not, either I've known since sixth grade, or they're friends of my sister. I wish I could be of more help, but...yeah. =/

    I know what you mean though. If I haven't replied within like, an hour of finding a new message, I feel weird about replying. But I'm paranoid, so.

    Aw, yay! Books are like, the one thing I can't wait to buy. I get the really expensive hard cover version the day it comes it...but that's really only because I've been waiting for up to a year for any one book to come out. >_> Sequels, you know?

    I love apples. Really, I can't drink coffee though. It makes me feel like I'm dying or something. The lack of sleep is finally catching up with me though. I' just got like nine hours. :) So my sleep cycle with hopefully go back to normal.

    If I'm thinking of the right thing, than not that I know of. But we have really close substitutes... Or maybe the same thing with a different name. =/ I love it too though. :)

    Both my sister and I were overdue by two weeks so it can happen :-) I think 'Love Is...' is rapidly drawing to it's close though. So sad :`(

    Haha, sorry. Weather is stupid. Yesterday it was spring here, and then it snowed. I mean, seriously?

    I actually didn't realize just how hot that was at first (because the US is the only ridiculous place that doesn't use Celsius >_>) Then I looked it up and my jaw just dropped. I'd die if got that warm here.

    England is supposed to be cool and rainy, I think. Definitely not boiling hot.

    o.o Wow, that's...yeah, like a kindergarten. But you know, at least it isn't the gross brown color my school is. Our colors are brown and white - with an orange trim, because everyone thinks the orange is gaudy.

    Aw, I'm sorry. Uh, positive thinking? You'll get to meet new-ish people.

    Ha, I know what you mean. It's like, well, that was sent almost a month ago...so it's all probably irrelevant. =/ It's okay though. Don't feel bad. Better late than never.

    Ooh, awesome. It's always really cool to find out things are cheaper than you thought originally. But I'm the type of person that will purposely forget something while I'm shopping, just so I can go back and spend more of my money... Which is maybe not good, but whatever.

    Ah, cool. I'm on serious sleep deprivation right now, so I like...I don't know. Power naps and caffeine apparently don't really replace sleep. =/

    Ah, no worries. :) Take your time, and don't let your computer die.

    Running with a friend does sound sensible, but what if no friend wants to go? I think that it'd be better to go alone than to go with a friend because of the guilt you'd feel because you took them away with you.

    Oh yeah.
    They will all eventually realize that forts are the best thing, and beg us to give them one. :file:

    Probably are. There are some actual medically proven ones too, I'm pretty sure - unless educational television has been lying again. o.o

    Ah, that stinks. :( I always hate doing clothing shopping, because I need to buy bigger sizes, even though I'm not all that big, and then my clothes are all baggy.

    Ha. That's good though. It's really nice to have a lot of people around, sometimes. I feel kind of stupid saying that my mother is my best friend, like, my best best friend. I always have another best friend, but that person changes a lot. =/

    Ew, so did I. Haha, I felt so bad about it, but it was really the school's fault. I'd been sick all day, like really couldn't even move sick, and they thought it would be best if I just waited until the end of the day...yeah. Ha, skinny french people. Just think what it'd be like if the French also ate with chopsticks. >.>
    Ah, smart. Though, right now, I'd kind of like to be up at the hottest part of the day. In the summer though, I'm up for that.

    Oh god, five science electives? I'd like...go crazy. I wasn't even supposed to have one science class this year, and then the counselor was like, "Yeah, no. Sorry." =/

    Haha. Ooh, yay! I think I need to start actually doing something again. I hate not doing anything.

    My closest friend right now and I are so the same that it's weird... especially since he's a guy >.> My other friends are really different though. I don't really care what someone's like though, as long as they aren't total jerks all the time.

    Ooh, I think his website actually lists all the books he wrote, even the ones under pen names.

    ... o.o Teachers like that are so cool. Some of my teachers are like that normally, and then we'll get a sub who'll be like, "Well, what should you be doing right now?" - "Uh, not much." - "What would your teacher tell you to do?" - "Sit down, shut up, and stop punching each other?" =/ Subs never get our odd class dynamics.

    Ah, that's nice. The teachers in our school get in trouble if someone comes in and sees a student like, resting. A few of the teachers are just like, hey, the work is for your grade, don't do it you don't want, just don't be disruptive. And if you want to sleep, at least prop your head up on something so you don't look suspicious. :)

    I never read a book in the library, like ever. Haha, but I read a lot too. Every week I get like, three or four new books and read them that night, then I dig through my mother's old ones.
    Sometimes a teacher will send you to the library to work though. I don't know why. Most people come to the library to pretend to be working, so it's more disruptive than the classroom.

    Ha, probably. :)

    Is there a treatment for the plague? I think for some kinds there is, but there are multiple plagues, so...

    Ooh, that's kind of creepy. Haha, yeah.
    I don't know. I've always had a weirdly huge rib cage, and a narrow waist, which makes my rib cage look bigger, and...ha. Yeah.

    Aw, that's sweet... Not the head hitting thing...the other part. :) I always explain to people that if I'm rude to them it means I love them. I don't know why, but I just act mean to people I like.

    Ehh, I do a big dinner, and a...normal sized lunch? Not huge, but enough I guess. If I feel fine then I'm good. Yeah, not fun. I hate the whole weird, nauseous / dizzy thing. >< ew.

    Haha. I think she kind of lives in that room. It has a refrigerator... Ha, I used to fake lows to get out of gym, before I got smart enough to just refuse to work...and science sometimes, but only on lab days.

    Ah. My sister and I both took piano for three years, and retained...not much. We have a guitar, which I can sort of play not very well at all. Drums are so cool. I wanted to learn, but then I got lazy and was like...no.

    Variety is the spice of life, I guess. Keeps things interesting to be different.

    Eh, a lot of the older ones are out of print. :( Used book stores are probably the best bet? =/

    Ah, she was very "hands on" I guess. :) Most of my teachers actually love me. It's weird. I can just be like, "Hi, I hate your class," and they think I'm cute. >.> But I still don't like them.
    Except, I think my PE teacher really did not like me. Because of the whole, refusal to participate thing. :)

    I don't know. I think our librarians just feel under appreciated. No one at our school goes to the library to do anything book related. We use their printer, and play computer games while hiding in the corner. :)

    They all looked dodgy, and I doubt I would've talked to one anyway. But then again, if one looked really nice, I might have.

    Totally. Empire Of The Homeless > Sydney. Those who aren't cool enough for the forts can go live on the harbor bridge. Then we can just block off the bridge and see what they do.

    o.o I think our messages are getting close to it... Actually, I've written story chapters shorter than these messages, so...

    Yes. Oh my gosh, the plague is scary! Any form of it. We're already overrun with rats. Forget anything else; I don't want to be eaten by a rat.

    Ah, yay! I have a funny rib cage. It's creepy how disproportionate by body is. Oh well. Whatever.

    Haha, the mysteries of the world, right? I don't know why anyone puts up with me some days either.

    Haha. Eh...I eat breakfast on the weekends, but I have anxiety issues, so I feel sick on school mornings. And I get motion sickness. I really don't want to throw up on the bus in the morning. =/ I don't know though; if I need to eat my first period teacher lets us, so...
    Ha, I have no musical talent whatsoever. I know piano keys, but no actual songs.

    That's awesome. :) Well, everyone is weird. I mean, there really can't be an exact definition of normal, so that makes us all...different. And then some of us are just a little more different...? Eh. Whatever, I don't remember the point.

    Dean Koontz rocks. End of story. He just does. Ooh. I'm nowhere near that. It's sad. Just working down the list though, right? Eventually.

    Well, there are a lot of good teachers in the world. I just haven't met a lot of them. Ha, well, it really was, actually. It was a couple of days when my parents were away, so it was my sister and I alone. It was more like, "If you miss the bus, I AM coming to get you." So, yeah. :)

    Ah, that's so nice! I wish our librarians were awesome like that. The nurse is cool though. She writes me out of science lab all the time....>_> Yeah, I'm not an awesome student at all.

    I see. It's sort of creepy, walking around when there are people much older than you everywhere you look. I don't think I slept very long either night I was out.

    We shall, we shall.

    Maybe. Psh, well, it is a writing website...primarily.

    There are far too many insects in the world, I'd say. Like rats. Giant rats are going to take over the world someday, and live side-by-side with all the gross bugs no one wanted to kill.

    Aw, I'm sorry. :( Maybe you'll get taller? That's what keeps my spirit up - everyone else in my family has already stopped getting taller.

    Puzzles rock.
    Ha, seriously though. It's so nice when you hit someone, and they're just like whatever. I try to be nice though. If they got angry it'd be different, because I like annoying people. But, yeah.

    Oh, well that explains it then. :) I don't eat breakfast, so that cuts one part out of the morning...throw some granola bars in my bag the night before, and that's lunch. Shower at night...I used to read Jane Austen books first thing in the morning, to see how much damage it would do to my brain. :)

    Ah. I think mothers are just that way naturally, and you only need to be scared if they're "normal". My opinions could be warped though, because everyone I know is weird.
    My sister is the same way. It's just like, so frustrating that she can't muster up the proper enthusiasm when I tell her someone just murdered by an inanimate object.
    I love Dean Koontz! So awesome.

    Haha. They sound like awesome teachers. I've hated like, all of my teachers, ever. My school, grades six to eight, was just so awful, I don't even talk about it. But then the ninth / tenth grade one is really cool. Even if she threatened to come to my house, kidnap me, and take me to school if I couldn't get there when I was supposed to. =/
