Today is finally the last day of school! Ha!
I have to come in tomorrow to get my stuff out of the kiln... but that's really just something extra. It was all done, today, but my teacher said I could reglaze it, some. I hope my next Pottery teacher lets me do stuff like that... >.<
So does anyone have any plans/ideas for the summer?
What do ya'll usually do during the Summer? What is there to do where you are?
I'm gonna' get a job... somehow... I was gonna' work at a specific tree nursery (I called a few months ago, and they said they'd probably hire me, when I got out of school) but they recently called and it turns out that they won't be able to hire me, they even had to let people go, due to a difficult winter.
So now the job hunt continues, once more... perhaps the other tree nursery will hire me... it's only a few miles away, so I can ride my bike there. :)
Also, I intend to get my horse. I was gonna' buy her last fall, but then my pig didn't make weight, (4-H... he was only two pounds off! :P ) so I didn't have the money. Before that I need to find someone to take or somewhere to put all of the spruce trees in my future pasture... and build the barn... and the pasture...
Another thing to do is hunt for Scholarships available to me when I am, well, fifteen... I found a few, but none seemed like very likely opportunities, or they were just distasteful, to me.
And I would like to get my car's title, and repair it. Hm... hopefully soon... and learning how to drive, a bit better, would be extremely helpful.
First things first, however... I need to finish moving into the airstream. I still have a bag of my stuff in the house, and a whole lot of laundry to do before the airstream's technically clean and I have actually moved all of my stuff in there. :P
That's just me, so far.
What're Summers like in Texas, Fox? I bet they're hot... but I'm not sure about how it is, other than that.
Whereabouts do you live, in Texas? South, North...?
(You did say you lived in Texas, right? Heh... otherwise these questions may be a bit odd... )
-
In Sweeny. Kind of South. We're about an hour out of Houston. :3
AND IT'S FRIGGIN' HOT. It's already in the high 90's. Summers over 100o is all too common. x_x
Anyway. I found out my mom's coming down for my birthday(yeeg....). July 1st we're heading out to Orlando, coming back the 5th. Then on the 10th we're going to Arizona. (blarg)
I'm really only looking forward to the Universal trip, because it's with my dad. I could care less about everything else. :/ *sigh* At least I have the X-Files movie to look forward to. *snuggles Mulder & Scully shirt because she doesn't have cuddle plushies*
-
Heh. :)
Yeeg? Why yeeg?
-
'Cause my mom is a freaking evil psycho. (cookie if you get the reference) Really, though. She never bothers to contact us AT ALL unless she's sending something shiny for Christmas/birthdays. Now when she finally decides to see us, it interferes with plans my dad & I had already made. :/
-
Oh... seems there are some prior conflicts I know nothing about, here... so to that I simply say...
Darn it, I'm out on a cookie. >.>
?
(Sorry about asking about personal matters like that... to make up for it, here's a lolcat.):
(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p292/Faith39_2006/Inurquantumboxlolcat.jpg)
(I just recently learned about these... ;D (Dragyn told me about them.)
-

Just kidding. XD I couldn't resist. (Yeah. While everybody else has their LOLcats....I'm going a completely different path with...LOLFOXES!) Seriously, though. It's fine. I just had a moment of "rAwR! My mom's ebil!". I'm at least looking forward to seeing my brother.
Then of course there's my birthday. <3 I have requested that my cake be the very one from Portal. Single candle & all. I'm thinking about getting some clay and making little mini-turrets to put around it..but if I can't get any by next week, I'll just use the plushie (http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/4439/friendbysuperscoobygirluo8.jpg) I made.
Oh. About the kittens. :3 (since they've been in since summer..kinda) We lost two because they were too stupid to get off the tire of the car...even when it was moving. The other two have been living inside, happily, since mid-May. My uncle decided to name one Toby..and the other is named....come on. Guess. No guesses? Her name is Fox. XD
-
Plans, plans.. well, I ordered some comics and plan on obsessing over those all Summer. Besides that, I'm visiting my sister in Idaho for my birthday. Not much else besides that. Just about the only thing I dislike about Summer is that it's way easier to get bored.
Oh, and good luck with your mother/the KITTEEZ.
-
Heh... :D
Good look with? ;D
(Sorry.)
I don't know about the cake on Portal... but that's a nice plushie. :)
And good luck with your lolfoxes. ;)
Which part of Idaho, Spookty?
-
It's the same cake in that screenshot I posted in Random Picture Thread. >.> Don't have time to look fer it right now.
Aaaand I didn't make the lolfox. I just pluck 'em from the internet. x3
-
Heh. I remember that'n... though I'm not recalling the reason for there being a cake in a cake room...
So now there's pretty much just loleverything?
-
Typo? What typo? HA. No, really, go check. It was never there or something.
While you're dead I will be still alive~
-
O.O
Eh? "While you're dead I will be still alive?" I... I don't think I follow... :P
-
It's the best song in the.. well... maybe the world, but not the universe.
-
It is, indeed. The remix is even better.
-
Dare I even ask what song it is?
Loleverything...now there's a scary thought...
-
This was a triumph. I'm making a note, here: HUGE SUCCESS!
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science. We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us. Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done & you make a neat gun for the people who are still alive.
I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now. Even though you broke my heart and killed me. And tore me to pieces. And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta we're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and leave me. I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa. That was a joke, HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done on the people who are..still alive.
And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I will be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
Still alive.
Still alive.
...... *bow*
-
*insert lighter waving here* Wow, I think I'm gonna cry.
-
And yet, somehow, I still don't get it.
-
Heh. ;D
Well, that is an interesting song. Not entirely sure I follow... what with the science and the, er, cake... ? ? ?
What's it from?
Edit:
"What it from?" just sounds terrible... >.<
-
It's from the game, Portal. One would likely have to play it, or read an in-depth description of the gameplay to understand.
-
Huh... I suppose so...
I just realized... I'm nearing 2,000 post...
Well if that just isn't a bit unsettling... :P
Wasn't that the next set for a new rank, in here?
-
Darnit. Just when I start to catch up to you, rank-wise. XD
-
Heh. Eventually, you'll all be top-rank, and it won't matter...unless, of course, I add more.
-
*Laugh!!!* :D
Isn't top-rank, well, a moderator? So, really, we won't reach top-rank.
However... another rank or so would be neat. ^_^
Think up anything, lately, for another rank?
-
Negative.
-
Did you put up a poll-like thing for that, too?..
-
Negative, again.
-
Hm...
I can't fix my typo, in the subject-thing, can I? :P
-
Looks like I may catch up to you, after all, Faith. X3
Since it's still the summer thread....>.>
~fwee!~ I'm sitting in a hotel just a few feet away from Universal Studios. :3 We're fixin' to eat some breakfast and head on over. Since I can't get you any gifties, I'll just take lots of pictures. ^.^
-
will you be posting the aforementioned pictures?
-
Heh. ;D
What're the Universal studios?
-
It's a theme park that's 56,000 times better than Disney World/Land. The one in Orlando, anyway. Which is the one we went to.
.... I have returned unharmed! =D Pictures will be posted later. I have a lotta resizing to do. x_x
-
<font color="orange"> Bleh. Moderated. </font>
-
...
Note to self: talk to little sister...
And, er... delete those... things...
Oh... okay, he did it for me.
Thanks.
-
Taken care of, as for the deleting.
-

-
Er. I'm just gonna assume that it's a good thing that I missed... whatever that.. was.. ahem. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the pictures a bit ago. Very awesome.
-
Hm? Which pictures?
-
The pictures are in another thread.
"Orlando/Sedona" I think.
-
Oh, yeah. ::)
I still haven't seen those...
-
It's my camera's fault. It's just too awesome. o=
Really..though. 3MB photos don't get along well with anything that isn't DSl/other high-speed internet.
-
I don't suppose you have paint .NET or some other product that could be used to compress those files a bit more?
-
Heh...
Maybe I'll see 'em come school...
Only about a month more... :(
I dread the end of Summer...
But then it's that way, every year.
What are you doing, with that program-thing of yours, Fox?
-
Summer is ending one week left till school air is going thin and life will end
-
...well, that was overly melodramatic...
-
have to have all the fun i can before school
-
School's already started, here. :/ Which is fairly unusual for us..'cause typically, the later we get out, the later we start. This time they got out the end of May, and started August 25th. (when they usually let out mid/early-May, and start mid-August)
-
Heh. ;D
It's okay Gryphor, I don't think we'll die.
Huh, last year you did start later... but we still have, what, a couple days, here?
-
i don't know if i can survive all this new things i can't take it.
8th grade. :) :)
-
Heh! ;D
Well wait until you get to be a freshman.
If you make no one angry, then you'll be okay, and won't have to worry 'bout initiation. :P
Nah, they probably won't initiate you. It's a weird year, but it's pretty much just J.H. but bigger.
-
Nah. At the school he's going to hazing met with charges being pressed, so he won't have to keep his head down too much.
Stay away from the redder necks, particularly the perenial seniors, and don't go chasing the girls, at least for your first couple of years, and you can survive high school.
Bear in mind the idea isn't to get through the public education system without any emotional scars, the idea is to tough up so you can handle the harder level that comes after that.
Bones are stronger where they've been broken.
-
I'm glad I didn't have to go to public high school. >.o I only have two more courses before my electives and I'm done. I know Dragyn said he's not fond of this word..but this definitely calls for a WOOT! =3
-
He only hates it because I've conditioned him to hate all froms of l33tspe4k and Neko-Kawaii-Chan!!!1! babble, and anything related to them.
It's better this way.
-
Well when i am a freshman i probable wont do the bad things you said and try to do the good
-
Woot is fine, as long as it isn't used in excess...
-
Is it the same for all the other weird word
-
You best be avoiding me in real life, then. 'Cause not only do I say it often, there's a shirt I have on my "must have" list. All it says is 'w00t!". Actually, if you've ever seen the movie, Stay Alive, it's that very shirt. (he got it from ThinkGeek.com) XD
-
So does that mean he is a geek
-
Well, he did run a video game store. >.> Probably one of the nerdiest horror movies I've seen in a while. X3
-
*Laugh!!!* :D
I missed this, for a while, somehow... >.<
The whole "initation-thing:" Yeah, public education has its flaws, but it's not too bad.
I never had problems... well, there was like two or three people that said they were going to initiate me...
But they never found me... ^_^
And don't worry, you'll actually have something to the extent of friends in high places. XD
(Well, I'll be junior then, that's second-lvl! And really rather strange to think about... huh... and I was just entering JH a little while ago... ::) )
But that doesn't mean you should abuse the privilege. If you were asking for it, my friends and I might let them do a little damage before we save you. :P
Nah, not really. Won't let you initiated if I can do something about it. :)
Either way it's really unlikely that you will be, unless you let yourself get initiated by a group of older kids you might hang out with (it's something weird that people actually do, sometimes...) or seriously are asking for it by really trying to be annoying. But if it even does happen, the most people get, usually, is that someone just writes on them with a sharpie, from what I've heard.
*Shrugs.*
@Fox: Really? Congrats. ;D
Didn't you say you wanted to write columns, or something to that extent?
That is a strange language-type form of communication that is totally beyond me... :P
-
....
You lost me. o.O
-
...
In which part?
Okay, I asked you what your desired occupation was be.
Then I said something about "woot."
-
The "congrats" part. o.o
-
Congrats for only having two more courses before your electives and being done. ;D
I'd be happy if that were me, anyway. :P
-
Ah. Of course. XP Geez.....only I can forget something I said two posts ago. >.<
-
*Laugh!!!* :D
Didn't you say you were going into writing columns or something to that extent?...
-
Nah, I'm no journalist. I thought about working for our local paper as a freelance photographer, though. Maybe when Ike blows in I can get some good stuff to send in to the paper or news channel.
-
Oh, yeah... something for a newspaper. >.< ;D
Sorry for the mix-up.
Hm... am I the only one to find it so amusing that this topic is still being used?
-
Actually, it has occurred to me a few times. >.>
-
Hm... *new topic title.*
Heh. Now watch, we won't use it anymore. :P XD
-
You're probably right.
Since you did that...I've been thinking, all day, of a clever response full of wit & sarcasm. So far..nothing. ._.
-
*Laugh!!!* :D
Until next summer comes... ... ...
Uh-oh... I have to get off.
*Grrs at the computer schedule...*
I didn't have one of those during the Summer... >.< :P
Ah well.
-
It occured to me a few times, but I didn't point it our for fear of derailing the conversation.
