Hang Out and Post

[IrishLiz]

I had to take a history of science/philosophy class that was kinda crazy because we had to pretend like we were in the time period we were studying at the time. We had to pretend that everything revolved around the Earth for a while. It was a relief when we finally got to Kepler!

[CAV of Gang Green]

I have too. When I was a baby, I had glow in the dark stars, moons, comets, and astroids on the ceiling. I did whatever I could to learn whatever I needed, and I want to be an Astronomer.

[livvy]

I still have glow in the dark stars on my wall. :*

 

The IC used to have nonsense conversations like that all the time. You can't just go around injecting logic into random conversations. Lighten up. :laughingsmiley:

[IrishLiz]

I did to! I had glow in the dark planets and stars all over my room and my room light. I had a hard time getting them on the ceiling because my room had a popcorn ceiling (now gone!) so I hung the planets from strings and attached them to the ceiling. My ceiling light was the Sun.

[Spritzie]

Everyone tells me I should have done different things. Law school, web design, computer coding. But I always said I was never passionate enough about those things to do it. Then an old friend says, "Why didn't you pursue meteorology?"

 

My reply was: "Why didn't you mention that to me 3 years ago???"

 

My biggest thing is weather.

I had them on my ceiling up until 3 years ago, when I was 10. Even though I somewhat objected, my parents made me take them off while they were redecorating my room. The stars are in a bucket somewhere...

My mom wanted to be a meterologist when she was growing up. She used to predict the weather. My dad and I got her this device that you mount on the roof. It has an electronic component in the house that we can use to measure all the weather conditions and predict the weather.

That sounds pretty cool.

 

But isn't the topic our space journey?

[IrishLiz]

It's all related. :P All our stars and planets in our rooms are a bit off-topic too.

[Spritzie]

My mom got me and my sister these books. Mine was Amateur Meteorologist. My sister's was Amateur Geologist.

 

My sister loved Geology. We both used to go on Geology trips with a college professor. She wanted to go to the School of Mines, which an amazing college here. It would have been her dream to study geology there. Instead, she got married at 20, and barely finished a 2 yr computer programing degree.

 

(Lesson: Boys are trouble.) :laughingsmiley:

[livvy]

Haha, I like that lesson, Spritzie. ;) No offense to you, lurking-Will. You're not trouble. :D

[CAV of Gang Green]

Guys, don't start the space journey without me!! I'll be back online in about half an hour. Just hang on please!

[Spritzie]

Haha, I like that lesson, Spritzie. ;) No offense to you, lurking-Will. You're not trouble. :D

 

It's a good lesson all girls should be taught early, before they find out the hard way. But of course, there are exceptions. :yes:

 

Guys, don't start the space journey without me!! I'll be back online in about half an hour. Just hang on please!

 

Let's wait til tomorrow. I gotta go now. And we need our rest before we attempt a feat like that.

[Unstream]

Woo! Glad I can be a guy and not be trouble at the same time :P

And hey, marriage isn't a one-sided agreement, y'know ;)

 

Astronomy is an interesting topic, though I never thought of it as being that important. Information of extraterrestrial bodies just seems useless at this point.

You're a lucky one. Not many get to be a guy, and not trouble.

 

Depends on the marriage I guess. Unfortunately.

 

And... it is interesting. It's fun to learn and read about. And it's all pretty. :)

 

I got so excited when my uncle showed me Saturn with a telescope. (Saturn has always been my favorite.)

[Noog]

I don't really care about astronomy. It's something that (supposedly) could never end, because the universe won't. Besides, we have so much earth trouble right now and you want to study Andromeda? We need to save the earth before we look into the stars.

[Spritzie]

But it's fun. Even if just a break from earth's troubles. We all need to relax a bit, sometimes away from Neopets.

[Unstream]

I actually don't even play Neopets that much anymore :P

 

I don't know, a lot of stuff you see in space is rather irrelevant considering the farthest man's ever made it was the moon. And everything we observe is outdated even before we see it.

[Noog]

But it's fun. Even if just a break from earth's troubles. We all need to relax a bit, sometimes away from Neopets.

 

That's why we use a different world, far far away from Earth and Neopia.

 

A World....of Warcraft.

[Unstream]

Oh god, please don't tell me you just said that x_x

 

:P

[livvy]

World of Warcraft is not an acceptable retreat! My 9th grade crush forgot about me for World of Warcraft. :crying: (He really did. Looking at it now, it was definitely a sign. :P )

 

Besides, we have enough earth problems already. We don't need to imagine more. ;)

[Tyler.]

we could always retreat to a planet that supports life

TO THE MAGIC QUILT

[livvy]

But the quilt hasn't been quilted yet! We can't finish until Spritzie gets back.

[Noog]

Hey, WoW is a legitimate game as long as you don't forget about real life. I have lots of friends who are like SUPER GODLY on WoW who I never would have guessed played it. They love the game but balance a great social life.

[antiaircraft]

I'm now oddly reminded of Titan A.E. Planet Bob anyone? :P
