Hang Out and Post

[Manta]

I checked the random contest; I didn't win first or second.... so, how do I figure out if I won third by some chance? :mellow:

 

There's no trophy on your lookup, do you have the avatar? :)

 

The new one looks cool, I might actually enter it. Daisy or Schiden would make amusing Defenders of Neopia. :P

[rachiee]

So I'm back from my little vacation...I took lots and lots of pictures. :D And I went on Neopets, listened to Nyan Cat + played some Robot Unicorn Attack when I finally figured out the wifi password in the house. XD

Oh, and happy belated birthday Spritzie <33 hope it was great!

[Spritzie]

Thank you :) It was really nice. And today was a quiet work day, so that's even better.

NYAN CAT!!!

 

Have you guy seen this?

I wish I could play like that :laughingsmiley:

[rachiee]

I've seen that before- that's some dang good violin playing. :O

I used to know how to play violin (on a beginner level, probably) but I quit orchestra before I started 5th grade...the reason why I quit kinda embarrasses me xP

[Manta]

Ugh I know right? I'm so envious. I have my own video game music youtube channel, but compared to Nyan Cat, my stuff's laughable :P

 

Aww, why's it embarrassing? I've almost quit orchestra dozens of times, but 11 years later, i'm still playing. Kinda weird :laughingsmiley:

[rachiee]

Well...I quit 'cause I cut orchestra class (to go to a class other than orchestra, I wasn't committing truancy) about three times (over the span of three weeks) in fourth grade. My orchestra teacher at the time (who was kind of a female dog, thank god she's retired now) sent a letter home to my parents regarding my cutting class and they weren't happy at all. I was grounded for a week...and that's the only time I've ever been grounded to date. Needless to say it was pretty ineffective considering I was 9 at the time and I really only went out to get books or office supplies. :P

 

There, I said it. :D

[Manta]

Wow...you could cut class in 4th grade? o_O Then again, I spent most of my 4th grade in a closet in the back of the room, attaching lighbulbs to a hand-generator, and blowing them up :rolleyes_anim:

 

Another video I found. Jesus I have no life

Morshu becomes a Pirate?

 

And another one

[rachiee]

If I was able to pull it off three times then I guess it's possible. XD Obviously I wouldn't recommend cutting class as early as fourth grade.

Of course, no one would suspect that a fourth grader would be off skipping one of his or her classes to go to a different one...:whistle:

[Manta]

How did you have options of more than one class? 4th grade must've changed loads since i was in it...wow :laughingsmiley:

 

And I totally just spent the past 10 minutes watching different version of the leek song...I need to get out more

[rachiee]

Actually, I had orchestra (more like group lessons though) on Tuesdays (and Thursdays? idek) and everyone else who wasn't in orchestra just went to the school library on Tuesdays. It really sucked that I was addicted to reading back then and was also in the orchestra. :laughingsmiley: Plus, I wasn't entirely sure if they let you in during recess.

I remember that I had read at least 76 books that year...good times. ^.^ Also made a lot of comics and stuff that year.

[Manta]

Oh, I see. That's pretty cool. I probably would've done the same :laughingsmiley:

 

Man, I used to read all the time. I'm rather proud of myself - I finished A Dance With Dragons today, and managed to pace myself reasonably well. With shorter books like Harry Potter, i usually just read straight through, but for this guy I actually took breaks and was able to spread out the reading over two days! :D

[rachiee]

Yeah, I used to read a lot. The problem is, I haven't been able to find any books that interest me all that much, and I haven't been finding a whole lot of time to read for pleasure. And all the books that look interesting are NEVER available at the library (or even the bookstore, sometimes).

I already have to read three books for summer assignments, and they're all boring as hell. <_<

[Manta]

Take a break then, or look for some new books. I went a few years without reading too much, and then I discovered the Song of Ice and Fire series and started reading again. Then again, my favorite genre is over-the-top fantasy fiction, so i have a whole section of Barnes and Noble to choose reading material from. Soon enough i'm gonna own everything Mercedes Lackey has ever written o_O

[rachiee]

That's sort of what I've been trying to do...most of the time when I'm at the library, I end up making most of my selections based on the summaries on the inside or back cover. I've discovered some pretty good (and some pretty bad) books that way. :P

I really need to find a good book series before the next school year starts. I doubt I'll have a lot of downtime but I usually keep a book with me just in case I do. :)

[:)Doc]

Nope. No avatar. :/

 

So, that means I just gotta try again some other time :D

[Manta]

Aww, sorry to hear that :( I'm gonna be trying for this one, are you?

 

The description isn't very clear, as usual, but I guess we're supposed to draw a comic with one of our Neopets and one of the Defenders of Neopia. But I'm not sure if we're supposed to be fighting a new enemy, or if it's just supposed to be silly banter, or what.

[jumpingbeans]

I'd guess it to be a new enemy, but I'm not TNT. Just do what you think is best.

[Spritzie]

Tsk tsk. All this talk of cutting class. :P I never did, though I did skip one class, even though I was at school that day, it was for medical reasons. I got a horrible migraine after the 30 minutes of running in PE, so I skipped my next class and went to the local McD's and took some of my migraine medication. My mom excused my absence when I told her about it.

[Manta]

I cut class whenever I don't feel well :P Imo, no point going to class if i'm in too much pain to pay attention, right?

 

In high school though, i was good friends with the nurse, so i'd just go there and lie down for a period, and get excused from that class. That worked unless i felt so awful that i stayed there multiple periods, in which case i was told i either had to go back to class, or go home <_<

[Spritzie]

My HS was an open campus, and it had 4 different buildings on 3 different blocks, so I just went somewhere near-by until I felt better.

[-Ryan]

I don't think i've ever cut a class. :D

 

 

 

And the highschool i'm going to in a few weeks is like Spritzie's, only its all on one street. :D

I found out I have lunch hour with who I wanted to get lunch with so i'm actually excited for school to start. :P

[rachiee]

I haven't started HS yet, but I've been in that building several times. It's somewhat average-sized, creeps me out and smells pretty bad. D: Needless to say, I wish I was going to another school. :/

Also, I'm not really sure if I have lunch with any of my friends. I have a lot of friends who are in all honors classes, and I only have two honors classes so there's a very low chance I'll have lunch with most of them. :c

[Spritzie]

I don't know how your school does its classes, but I don't really think the fact that they're taking more honors classes should affect the lunch period, unless those classes are only offered during yours. I took honors classes, my friends didn't, and I ended up in the same lunch with all of them.

[rachiee]

Even I don't know and I'm going to that school in like, less than 2 months. :P

I just realized something...I now regret replacing Study Hall with Studio Art (aka taking another elective) :grrr: As far as I know of, no one I know (or like) is gonna be in that class. grrrrr.

At least I have Chorus, which my best friends are going to be in. =D
