I’m here. I’m sorry that I’m late. I would have voted for the movie. That’s one of those things you can watch on the tevelision, right? ---

Nah, not a movie – that just kills all conversation. (Not that the conversation is all that lively now …) Karaoke doesn’t seem too popular, either. How about we play a game! Scrabble? Charades? Dungeons and Dragons? I know – Simon Says! All of you go over there, and I’ll stand here and be “Simon.” C’mon! Oh, I get it – _Simon says_ all of you go over there. ---

I’ll take a guess on Twicks - Does she have to use an ellipsis and/or hyphens in every post? ---

Heh. From now on, I’ll keep to more formal punctuation. 😃 ---

Twicks, I’ll gladly play D&D, if you’ll excuse a newbie on the team. Did I ever tell you about the time I managed to pull off this awesome draw in Magic: The Gathering? My opponent had a White-Blue card drawing/flying creature deck, while I was piloting a classic Orzhov BW thingy. Anyway, I get him down pretty far, but I only have a few creatures out, and he’s got a Giant Army of flying creatures, except I’ve got Worship and his deck only won with creature damage. Meanwhile, I had a whole bunch of life drainers, but he had a Platinum Angel (He couldn’t lose and I couldn’t win while it was out), so it was a race to see if he could get enchantment removal before I could get creature/artifact destruction. He surrendered due to being bored, but I would have won irregardless–his deck didn’t have enchantment removal! ;D If we’re gonna do D&D right, we’re gonna have to get some snacks. I’d estimate at least 2 two liters + chips, probably more if everyone wants in. P.S. /taunt to JI and the Boozy Squid. ---

Sounds like a great time, pedescribe. Do you think you could beat my black Megrim deck? It’s pretty kick ass. I’ve also got a red goblin deck that is close to my heart. Wanna play a few games? ---

Where is everyone? It’s all right with me if we just let this party die – no, dammit, it isn’t. **pedescribe, Santo Rugger** – where’d you guys get to? **Rysto, Hi Neighbor!** – have we seen you at all? **Idle Thoughts** , dammit, PM your guests and get them in here! ---

Sorry, it’s finals week–I’ve been a bit busy, to say the fewest. But this is nothing compared to last year. Last year, we had to do a ‘big project’ instead of a final exams, along with AP tests. I procrastinated waaaay too long on the project, and I think I skipped…3 times? Four? It was pathetic. Fortunately, it didn’t affect things too much, but I was so ashamed! I ate so much pie that week it wasn’t even funny. Maybe all the other guests are statues. C’mon, let’s arrange them in funny poses and see what happens when they get here! ---

Woo whoo! I had an interview yesterday; I got a job testing explosives again! It’s been three years since I’ve seen a shot, I’m looking forward to it! Sorry, **twicks** I’m around, I’m just feeling shy. ---

I’m too tired to think, but lemon drops are worth losing any game…I think. Thinking. Thinkastinkadinkadinkdoo.\* That reminds me of a story…or does it? Are there any stories I have saved up about lemon drops? Uh…There was the time I managed to tie the neighbor’s dog up with it’s own tongue that I may have just made up. There really isn’t anything else to it though… Me need sleeps. \*Free hint to anyone who caught the reference! ---
