General Discussion

[Azura]

I was just watching a live video for a Breaking Benjamin song, and I find it very amusing that most people are doing more body surfing than listening to the song.

[Gandalf]

*hugs Azura*

[Azura]

Gandalf: So is that a greeting hug or a "Yay, someone else likes Breaking Benjamin!" hug? Either way, thank you.

[Gandalf]

Hi!

I don't know who that is.

How've you been?

[Azura]

Hi, right back at you!

It's a band. Some of their songs are pretty good. Others.....Well, I don't like scream-o bands. They can get close sometimes.

I've been good. Busy, but good. I really need to be working on my school work, but instead I've chosen to waste my time here. I'll probably regret it later.

So how are you today?

[HatofMadness]

We don't even count money no more, if it ain't right, it ain't right.

[Gandalf]

I'm good. Installing Civilization 4.

I have no school work!

[Azura]

I don't know what Civilization 4 is......

Good for you! Sometimes I wish I didn't either. But when I starting wishing I didn't have any, I get excited thinking of all the goals I can finish by the end of this year if I just stick with it.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

My school starts tomorrow. Earliest school can legally start in the state of Texas.

[Gandalf]

Well, it's the holiday...

We will when we go back...

Civilization 4 is a game.

Also: *laughs at Holmes*

[Azura]

Gideon: Legally? Why is it you have to have a legal date to start school?

[Gideon Dragontongue]

So the parents who hate spending time with their children by the middle of the summer can't make schools start in July.

[Azura]

Oooh. I didn't think of that.....I just do school when I can/feel like. I enjoy it, too.

Gideon, you aren't upset with me or anything, are you?

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Not specifically with you, but you already know why.

[Azura]

Oh good! I am relieved, then. I still feel sleepy, but I'm sure that will go away after a while.

So what are you up to today, Gideon?

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Trying to find fifteen vocabulary words I'm "unfamiliar with" from my summer reading project, and then listing and defining them. So far I have three that I was legitimately unsure about (alb, ecumenical, and worsted) and several others that I'm just faking.

[Azura]

That's the spirit! How will your teachers know if you now them or not?

Out of all those words, I only know what worsted means. At least I know one!

Add "unbounded" to that list. It's surprising to many that that is a word.

[Gandalf]

Gideon, why are you upset?

[AKB]

He gets a little bit cranky when he misses his nap. Don't worry about it.

[POMC S117]

Anxiolytic, antipyretic, exuberance.

[Abel]

triskaidekaphobia

Straight off the top of my head. Seems my Greek studies finally paid off!

[POMC S117]

Homologous. Amniotic. Mitotic. Antithetical.

[the Savage Hippie]

How happy is the human soul? Not enslaved by dull control! Left to dream and roam an' play, shed the guilt of former days. Walking on the foggy shore, watch the waves come rolling home through the veil of pale moonlight my shadow stretches out its hand, and so we lay, we lay in the same grave. Our chemical wedding day!!

[POMC S117]

I'm amazed by how many languages have a word that looks or sounds similar to man or human for human.
