The Immortals

Hmm i don't think the muse's theory would work. If anyone has a cat to donate i am willing to try this. Where was this theory during science fair two years ago, oh well. Well i'm home now feel free to call me whenever to do whatever i'm up for anything.

2003-05-07T18:59:00.000-04:00

Please give your opinions on the Muse theory of catplummetingbutterinesstics:

Would it be possible for the cat to first land on its feet, and following this fall backwards, thus causing the buttered side of the bread to smush into the floor, and thereby satisfying both landingonfeet and buttersidedown stipulations? Is such a delay acceptable?

For your consideration,

~Muse

2003-05-05T19:26:00.000-04:00

hehe, this is way better than the physics studying i should be doing right now.....
IF WHEN YOU DROP A BUTTERED PIECE OF BREAD, IT DROPS BUTTER SIDE DOWN AND A
CAT ALWAYS LANDS ON ITS FEET. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU TOOK A PIECE OF
BUTTERED BREAD, STRAPPED IT ON THE BACK OF A CAT (BUTTER SIDE UP) AND
DROPPED IT OFF CENTERPOINT TOWER?

Even if you are too lazy to do the experiment yourself you should be able
to deduce the obvious result. The laws of butterology demand that the
butter must hit the ground, and the equally strict laws of feline
aerodynamics demand that the cat can not smash it's furry back.

If the combined construct were to land, nature would have no way to resolve
this paradox. Therefore it simply does not fall.

That's right you clever mortal (well, as clever as a mortal can get), you
have discovered the secret of antigravity! A buttered cat will, when
released, quickly move to a height where the forces of cat-twisting and
butter repulsion are in equilibrium. This equilibrium point can be
modified by scraping off some of the butter, providing lift, or removing
some of the cat's limbs, allowing descent.

Most of the civilized species of the Universe already use this principle to
drive their ships while within a planetary system. The loud humming heard
by most sighters of UFOs is, in fact, the purring of several hundred
tabbies.

The one obvious danger is, of course, if the cats manage to eat the bread
off their backs they will instantly plummet. Of course the cats will land
on their feet, but this usually doesn't do them much good, since right
after they make their graceful landing several tons of red-hot starship and
pissed off aliens crash on top of them.
:-D

Here I am sitting at my computer, doing absolutely nothing...hmmm...I am bored...so I decided to post some rambling incoherences. Blah Blah Blah. Hey Nonny Nonny. Hey :)

Manamana. I wish I was back on the beach in Savanah. That is all.

2003-03-15T17:21:00.000-05:00

I've got a lovely bunch of cocanuts, diddly dee dum.

2003-02-13T19:23:00.000-05:00

well i'm here at work bored watching indiana jones for the second straigh night. lookin forward to spring break and the warmness of florida. i have an amusing anecdote to pass on. 3 guys, one white, one black, and one hispanic, are driving along in a car which breaks down in the middle of nowhere. they walk to a farmhouse and ask if they can stay the night. the farmer says sure, but if any of you sleep with my daughter i'll kill you. so the next morning the farmer comes into the room, carrying a gun, with the 3 guys and says one of you slept with my daughter now your all gonna die. The three start begging for there lives and the farmer says i'll let you live if you do something for me. He tells all three to go out to the garden and pick a fruit. the white guy comes back carrying a banana and the farmer says if u can stick that up your ass without making a sound i'll let you live. The white guy is like ok and starts shoving. he gets it about half way up when he grunts in pain and the farmer shoots him in the head. Then the hispanic guy come in with three grapes. the farmer gives him the same deal and the hispanic guy is like ok and pops one then two grapes up with no problem. he starts on the third and bursts out laughing and the farmer shoots him. the white guy and the hispanic guys souls are going up to heaven and the white guy is like what happened? you were in the clear. the hispanic guy goes i know, but out of the corner of my eye i saw the black guy walking in with a watermelon!!!

2003-02-11T22:15:00.000-05:00

aw, nobody else is posting. how depressing. been over a month (actually, not according to my watch- somehow its 2 days slow).... come on people, do you really want to do homework that badly?? Theres gotta be something at least somewhat amusing you could relate here. My contribution of the day: It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Then it's just a game- Find the eye!!

2003-01-10T17:21:00.000-05:00

Enough of the comment box... because i dont think its big enough for the wrath that Solomon has just invoked from the goddess anyhow. plus its annoying trying to post a comment when ive got a program that stops pop up windows... and the comment box is definately a pop up box. However, sounds to me like LHEMVB is in for it with an insolent comment like that.. perhaps he even is looking forward to being half blinded and suffocated, who knows. Can you all tell im really bored, this being like my third comment in like a week? Thats what happens when the campus is practically empty and my one class has very little homework. Funny story: we were going to go down to Inner Harbor yesterday to go ice skating, because tehyve got an outdoor rink. But, first, we couldnt find the place, since though we loooked up the hours and price, we forgot to look up the address online.. then after driving around for awhile we got there, and, being an open air rink, and it being over 50 degrees yesterday... we fell in and drowned. Ok, not really, it was just closed, but it was a whole lot of wasted effort and might as well have ended that way. Ok im gonna stop rambling and go to dinner. Smyser, youve better start thinkin of sacrifices now!!

Happy Birthday to me happy birthday to me ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A WHEN R WE GONNA GET TOGETHER AND HANG OUT?

2002-12-14T15:36:00.000-05:00

Hello all.
As it seems some stupid gits are already home (while I haven't even begun finals) I was wondering if and when we were getting together over break. Hopefully we can work something out. As you can tell by the nature of my away messages, I'm suffering Boondock Saints withdrawl. (The vcr ate my roomate's copy! Oh the humanity!) So if you wonderful people would be kind enough to ease the pain with a movie night, you will be handsomely rewarded with december sacrifices. Ok, I'm heading back to work (uggg). Hopefully all of you at home will be so bored somebody will actually check this thing. I keep forgetting to. :)
~Muse

2002-12-09T15:40:00.000-05:00

Well... time to put off studying for finals. I have a humorous little story to recount. The other evening after getting about 7 inches of snow, my girlfriend stacy, me and my friend Jenn went out for Chinese. The plows that cleared the parking lot snowed in all the cars so sadly i had to dig out stacy's car. When we came back the spot i had dug out was taken so we had to pull into a different spot. Stacy started to pull in but then realized she wouldn't make it so she kicked it into reverse. The car was stuck. She hit the gas and nothing happened so i hopped out to push. I started pushing when my foot slid out from under me and i landed on my face under the car. I looked at the tires and after staring at them for about 10 seconds i realized that they weren't spinning. I got up and knocked on her window to tell her and i saw her laughing. she rolled down the window and said oh f*** it's in neutral. well thats my funny story, its probably better when told. Oh and by the way look for the Mount in the news. We made it national!!! The night of our X-mas dance we had 4 people go to the hospital with alcohol poisoning and 3 more the next morning. Well I'll see u guyz over break. Give me a call any day your bored. Scooby Doo Bru

Feel free to exceed these expectations.

In Summary: Movie Night. The Goddess’ House. Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Dinner expedition around 6:30, strip poker, bungee-jumping, and hardcore pictionary to be announced.

2002-11-21T17:48:00.000-05:00

Prize for Liz for posting. You rule. Everyone else is fired. Do do do. Procrastinating is the most productive use of my time. Manamana!

2002-11-17T11:22:00.000-05:00

sheesh, dont you guys procrastinate constantly like i seem to be doin just now... instead of calc, im checking the blog page. You really should start doin less work, and posting sumthin here every once in awhile. It would at least give me another good reason to put off some work for another 2 minutes or so.... oh well, have a great day- or night, whenever it is that you happen to be reading this. ok, second order differential equations, here i come.... Later all!

2002-10-24T15:57:00.000-04:00

Howdy All-
I'm quite bored and its been a while since I've posted so...what to say? Hmmm...Manamana!! Do do do do do!! And I think thats it...oh wait...it wouldn't be a Smyser post without: Blah Blah Blah!...there we go...finished.

2002-10-21T20:13:00.000-04:00

Hey all...i was desparately trying to waste some time, and find something better to do then physics and thought i should come check out this page, since i havent for quite some time. I must say, that is a very touching story by the muse- no wonder we gave you such an illustrious title. Hm, i really cant think of anything to say. Cant remember what i wrote last time i posted something-have i even posted anything recently? cant remember- oh look, it was back during preseason! I think ive been finding better was to procrastinate instead. Ooh, story. Ok so its not a very good one, but im procrastinating alot...cosider it on the level of the notes...

Ok, so a girl that goes here who i knew from governors school, Katie, is also a freshman, like me...so weve been hanging out together, both being in engineering and what not... so she met this guy, chris, who she has a crush on, but he drinks alot, and she doesnt at all, and he never really liked her. So, being in my room one night at like 1, and neither of us wanting to do any physics or whatever the homework of the night was, we make up a new sn and decide to IM this guy. We never told him who it was, instead pretended to be someone who just goes to this school, but knew like everything about him (Katie provided all the facts- i didnt even know what the guy looked like). So we do this anonymously for like 2 weeks, usually in the middle of the night for like 3 hours or more, and had some really interesting conversations. Then somehow one day last week, he figures out it was me cuz he had been talkin to Katie and my roomie (all of them are in the same calc class...) and found out that my roomie had a mean prank played on her my her roommate (me...play a trick?? never....) But I, not knowin that, mentioned something about my roomie not talkin to me cuz i pranked her on the anonymous sn, and he finally figured out out...and it led to a massive water battle/ war between katie and me and chris, complete w/ tactical maneuvers through the convoluted dorm hallways, cross campus sprints in the rain, and stolen goods (i know, klepto at heart- but my stuff was stolen first, with my roomie aiding the enemy to get back at me for the prank). But it ended up ok- sittin im my room til about 4 in the morning that night... So i thought the drama was over, cuz chris had admitted that he didnt really want any serious relationships, and implied esp not w/ katie....and then saturday night, i walked in on him and my roomate. But now, 2 days later, theyre not even on speaking terms. Isnt it strange the way things like that work. Ok dont know why i just shared that story- maybe i was just traumatized by the whole thing, esp Sat night...so maybe ill go be productive and do some physics work...but when i last stopped, 1.8 = 9....hence, i stopped. Hope you all have a good day!! (or night, or whatever time of the day it is when you decide to read this and laugh at how ridiculous I am....) Talk to you later!!

2002-10-20T01:24:00.000-04:00

Hey whaddya know!! I'm not the only one who still checks this. Word of warning: if someone asks u to go to a high school homecoming dance with them, JUST SAY NO!! Argh, so bad. I wanna go home. Mount home that is. Well i don't really have much to say, but look for me online to chat. Bru

2002-10-19T02:50:00.000-04:00

Boy... you are lucky you're a good shrink my nggf, or you would be ashes right now!

2002-10-18T18:13:00.000-04:00

Muse-Here is my post...BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! MANAMANA!

2002-10-18T18:04:00.000-04:00

Roast the eunuch!
Where is your post?

2002-10-18T00:28:00.000-04:00

So I was reading Absalom and Achitophel, which is a 1000 line poem which would be good except it's so long and then I came across the quote "Beware the fury of a patient man" and I thought Oh! That sounds like Stoner and his long fuse big boom analogy and then I thought Oh! I miss those crazy people from that crazy Humanities class and then I thought Oh! I bet nobody has written on the blog since Bru's thing forever ago so I decided Oh! I should post on the blog and tell this highly entertaining story and then I thought Ah! as in shock and surprise and then I thought Damn-it-somebody-better-post-soon-after-this-message-so-that-I-feel-like-people-still-read-this-and-listen-to-my-tirades.
Good story huh?
Oh, and for those interested today is officially (at the Gettysburg Pan Fried Funk House anyway) Douglas Adams (as in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) Appreciation Day (as it is the 42nd Thursday of the year. And if you don't know the signifigance of 42 and Thursday then read the book. Actually read the book anyway - it's fantastic. And damn it, because today is DAAD). Well, yesterday was. I love college! Off to waste more time instead of sleeping. Now post you fools for the sake of Pete!!!

2002-10-03T12:27:00.000-04:00

Well the roadtrips of the immortals isn't working out like i'd hoped, but one day..... anyways musey, LHE, and of course your friendly neighborhood super hero ScoobyDooBru, i apologize for elaborating on my title, are set for a little fun. Justine, I'll seeya on your break, jilly is proposing a movie night.

2002-09-24T20:57:00.000-04:00

Hello all, your buddy Bru checkin in. College is great yada yada yada. Miss u all, hope to seeu over fall or tg break. Smys give me an update on the lovelife. inquiring minds want to know. Jilly one of these dayz we'll party. Lizzy and Justine from your away messages it sound slike your lovin college too. Anyways classes are surprsingly easy so far, basically a reeview of humanities for a couple. Thanx Stoner. Peace Out

2002-09-18T15:18:00.000-04:00

Goddess, you will recieve your due sacrifices during the breaks called thanksgiving and christmas...be patient

2002-09-18T11:39:00.000-04:00

Never fear, the Goddess is still alive though she tends to post on her own personal blog more frequently than this one. As her assistant, I (Mervin), have been handling those infernal instant messages you all continually send. The Loyal High Eunuch presumed to speak with the Goddess immediately--how naive! She is not at his beck and call, especially because she has not yet recieved any sacrifices since coming to this institution of higher learning.

I wish you all a wonderful day. Assuming you could get an A+, I offer you the opportunity to take any exams for the Goddess you wish. This week: Astronomy and Psychology.

Mervin.

2002-09-17T16:06:00.000-04:00

Hey all,
For those of you who dont check your email, i now have im. my sn is "Solomon LHE". I have all of yours except Bru. See you later.

2002-09-17T11:13:00.000-04:00

Does anyone write on this anymore? Is everyone alive?

2002-09-05T12:42:00.000-04:00

Smyser you don't have a first name - learn to live with it. Anyway sorry it took so long for me to post anything. It was a bit hectic for a while, but things are going well now. My roommate and I have differing social activities, but she does have exceptional movie tastes (Office Space, Boondock Saints - all the good ones) so it's working out. And I am finally on IM - under "gramcrackermuse" - so feel free to say hello. And if I seem to be ignoring you don't feel bad - I tend to forget about the away message thing (hey, I'm new at this). Hopefully I'll see all of you soon. Sounds like everyone's enjoying themselves - hope that continues.
~Musey

2002-09-04T08:46:00.000-04:00

Howdy all,
To answer your question Bru, I do not currently have im, but once i get my computer (inabout 3 weeks) I will. Let you know then. School is going well, and i've yet to really figure out the train system to easily get back east. working on it though. see you all soon.
Smyser
PS The kids here are beginning to pick up Smyser, Im losing my first name again!!

2002-09-02T13:59:00.000-04:00

Heylo my friends. Well i've been here at the Mount for 2 weeks now and I'm having a blast. The freedom is exhilarating, the parties are wild, and wow its just great. Unfortunately i won't have a computer for another 3-4 weeks and i haven't figured out my roomates password, but i will soon. I have to resort to the computer labs, but its not too bad, just don't expect me on IM for a couple weeks. By the way are Smyser and Jilly on IM? I have Justines and Liz's. I've met a buncha cool people and i'm trying to get a movie group together but i don't have a car so renting movies is tough. School is easy so far but i still sleep through my cultures class. I've come to the realziztion that it must be genetic or something. Anyways I'm looking forward to the first Gettysburg party and keep in touch.
Bru

2002-08-27T09:47:00.000-04:00

Hey all! Ok, so I havent written anything on this for awhile..oops. Suppose ive been either running like a maniac or sleeping, and my computer in my room wasnt hooked up until just now. But now [insert drum roll...] i can sleep AND be on the computer- thats the advantage of a dorm room, theyre so small that my computer is literally right next to my bed. Anyhow, i dont actually start classes for another week, and though my room is set up, there is a total of one other person anywhere near me in the dorms...a soccer player down that hall. So, we've resorted to hanging out in the other, upperclassmen dorms most of the time- advantage there is that theres a bunch of cute soccer guys staying there as well...its fun. Last night, we actually went out w/ most of the guys soccer, half of girls soccer, and the freshmen hockey players, all in about 4 cars (it was a bit tight with 8 people squeezed into a little 2-door honda....oh well. fun. gotta run,

Liz

2002-08-26T15:22:00.000-04:00

Hey all,
Jilly is easier to type than Jillian, it just takes less time. Today is Day 1 of class for me. I've already had Chem and English Comp. The Chem class sounds like its going to be fun, but the Comp sounds like it will be a pain in the ass. I still have my freshman seminar later today. I don't have my computer here yet, but I have access to a 24-hr computer lab, which I'll have to settle for until mid-Sept. Justine, no complaining, I live on the 10th floor atop Cardiac Hill. It is a nearly vertical climb for about .5 mile at least 3X a day. I've met a bunch of really cool people on my nerd floor (10th Sutherland West is the Freshman Honors Housing). I live in the same sweet as Dave Kleinman (may God have mercy on my soul). Actually it's not that bad, I use his computer when I don't feel like coming down to the 1st floor. Jilly, one of the guys on my floor may possibly tag along to a Gettysburg party, he's from Atlanta, GA area (no southern accent, though) b/c he's always wanted to see the Battlefield. I've got to get back to my homework (I'm researching the origin of "Andrew", my real name, for Comp). I need to write an essay on it on Wednesday in class. Talk to you all soon. And Jilly I am known as Andy around here except for the 15 HHS kids from our class, so Smyser, Big Red, etc may, possibly live on. We'll just have to wait and see.
Solomon

2002-08-24T18:03:00.000-04:00

Hey guys!

Just got to Penn State today. I needed help getting the internet setup (nice RAs...) but other than that things went off without a hitch. The fishtank survived (as did the fishies) and I've already climbed the stairs to my floor (the 8th) four times. I won't need to go to the gym if I do this everyday.

I wish everyone a wonderful time at school thus far and many new friends. Muse-y, packing takes longer than you think it will with all the last minute items. I wrote stuff down and still forgot a couple things. Perhaps the Goddess isn't perfect after all. (Nah...)

( *

2002-08-24T15:14:00.000-04:00

Jilly? What is this Jilly? :) Glad to hear you guys are safely moved in, even though it means life here in Lancaster is a little more boring. I'm here until the 29th, which sucks because everyone else is leaving me (cry cry). I will definitely organize a gburg party at some point. And I even have a reason for Liz to come - we play you in field hockey. So even if you're not on the team (are you?) you can come down (over?up?) and support your team. And Smyser good luck finding that bus, train, whatever. (By the way, are you actually going by your first name at Pitt?) Anyway I'll let all of you know about my college info when I get there. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves - now I have to start packing!
~Musey

2002-08-22T22:12:00.000-04:00

Howdy everyone,
I've safely moved into Pitt. I need all of your phone #'s, address, etc. See you all soon. Jilly let me know well in advance (about a week if possible) of any Gettysburg parties. I'll do my absolute best to get there. I still need to find the train station.
Andy

2002-08-19T13:13:00.000-04:00

Hello all. Well I'm moved in and going through the boring seminar stuff. It sux having to go to the library to check emails but i'll do it often so KIT. Good luck when you guys move in. Jilly give me your phone # and room # when u move in so i can visit. Peace Out Bru

2002-08-18T12:47:00.000-04:00

Hey Liz and Bru,
How's the move in going? Hope you two are doing fine. Talk to you later (in Gettysburg). See you soon.
LHEMLYMVB

2002-08-12T16:32:00.000-04:00

Howdy all-
Jillian, I'll bring #3 Bourne to movie night, bring at the other 2 (please). To everyone, if you have your college info (ie phone #, address, e-mail, etc) bring it! We can exchange so we can keep in touch easier for the Gettysburg parties. Justine, please give us a day or two notice about the movie night, so I can prepare the final offering.
See you soon
Andy

2002-08-12T08:51:00.000-04:00

wednesday or thursday are the only two nights that would work for me- all the others are already booked for something or other, some or which activities should be quite interesting...(pokey pissed...coming soon to a neighborhood near you) :-)

2002-08-12T00:26:00.000-04:00

Still discussing the movie night - I can't do it Wednesday and I'm away from the 16th to the 19th, but otherwise I think I'm pretty flexible. Oh, and Smyser I finished the second Bourne book, so whenever you're ready to trade let me know. I'm anxious to finish the series!
~Muse

2002-08-10T17:32:00.000-04:00

Just lemme know when your gonna do it, i'm good pretty much any night except wed the 14, either the 13, 15, 16, or 17. 15 i'll be a little late probably. Bru

2002-08-04T15:42:00.000-04:00

Hey Justine,
Dates that work for me for a movie night are: any day between the 12th and the 17th (inclusive). The best day for me would be that Wednesday the 14th (I don't work Thursday so I can stay out later), but anytime works for me.
Andy

2002-07-28T16:03:00.000-04:00

Bru-
I'll be there, and so will you volleyball net.

2002-07-18T22:49:00.000-04:00

well guys the date is set. My party is Sat Aug 3 from 3 til whenever. I hope everyone can come and have a good time. Justine, feel free to bring Matt and Chris. Please everyone let me know if u will definitely be there. I leave sunday night for world youth day and i won't be back til the following monday so either send me an e-mail or call me when i get back. until then have a great week and i'll see u guys soon. Bru

2002-07-15T23:41:00.000-04:00

iamsoexcitedyoucouldn'tbelieveit! Chris (very best friend from Oregon) is able to visit. He hasn't told me the dates yet as he's in the process of buying his tickets, but I'm in a good mood. Hooray!

2002-07-11T16:24:00.000-04:00

Howdy All-
I can't wiat to movie night IV this Saturday (Liz you're invited, I guess) at Justine's. Muse-don't forget the Manamana Shakespeake. FYI-right now the tentative date for my party is Saturday July 27. I'll let you know more information as it becomes available.
See ya later-

2002-07-10T22:40:00.000-04:00

Although that prank is hillariously funny, it may be viewed as slightly destructive. But, we may have to try it anyhow, if we can come up with a can of shaving cream, and something with which to cut the bottom off the can. We did suceed in getting a small tent up the flagpole on Monday- that was quite fun. Nobody was in it, but it is a bit of an unexpected change from when we do flag every morning. Time home: I should be home this weekend- Fridat night til sunday morning, and i think the next two friday night til saturday night, which isnt much time for movie night. Oh well. Gotta head back soon, but hopefully I see you all soon too.

Pokey/ Liz

2002-07-09T00:12:00.000-04:00

Actually, Solomon, I had a splendid time in Lancaster County with my pool. Mwahaha. You'll have to come swimming after work on Thursday or Friday. Most definitely.

Hello everyone,

Cut the bottom of the can off and u'll have a solid block of shaving cream. Put it under someones covers and as it thaws it'll expand to monstrous proportions. u can thank me later. I must say come to justines pool it is great. also andy i'm coming in soon and i'll probably bring justine. well i gotta go Call me when your bored. Bru

WHAT? Manamana in the Reduced Shakespeare?? I want to see that. And by the way the fudging Russian was fine, as usual. If anyone is interested in offering your favorite eunuch some companionship, I now live at the SKH on Rohrestown Road, at least until 4:00 six days a week. I still have yet to decide a date for my party, but I'll come up with a date soon enough. By the way, I am nearly half-way done with the Notes, I should be done by the end of July. We must have another movie night sometime soon, as it has been a while since I've seen any of you. I hope you all had fun in smoldering Lancaster County last week, while I was basking by the ocean, with the air temperature about 85, the water temperature about 70, no humidity and crystal clear (I could see Atlantic City from the beach, for the directionally impaired that's about 30 miles to the north of Avalon). See y'all soon.

I will show up sometime Justine, I promise, but yesterday was just too cold to swim.
But more importantly I have an amazing message for the LHE: Remember the Reduced Shakespeare video from Humanities class? Well I was watching it with Andrew last night and discovered that the Hamlet puppet show begins with a rendition of the "Manamana" song from Senior Week. I literally screamed when the puppets started singing it. Ahhhh! I mean, of all combinations... and I almost missed it! Small world, eh?

2002-07-08T00:06:00.000-04:00

Hey, my pool has been open for use since ... well, a week or so after I got home from the Great Northwest. Yeah. So anytime you guys want to use it, that's fine. Call ahead to make sure somebody is home (the cover is closed usually when we're gone since the neighbor has little kids). I work Tuesday and Saturday, I think, and Wednesday is Penn State's arts and crafts fair thing. I invited Bru over tomorrow (well, today now that it is past midnight) to swim around three. Yep. Come on down.

(Can anyone tell I'm rambling? Didn't think so. hehe.)

Liz, your nickname is brilliant. I couldn't have picked a better name myself...except for peerless ugly-faced weirdo of course. Actually I think "Pokey" was one of my suggestions - but for a completely different reason. I hope you're enjoying camp and the fashionable tan lines. When will you be home next? We need to schedule a Humanities movie night or something. And how viscious are these pranks allowed to be?...
Speaking of movies - Bru we should watch Scooby Doo at your party (mostly because I'm intrigued, but I refuse to pay to see it).
Also, Justine - is your pool open for use any time today? I may be over at Andrew's so perhaps we'll drop by if that's okay. I'll call first.
And finally to Smyser: did you enjoy the fudgeshop russian?

Herc-y is home...and leaving in about 20 minutes to go back to camp. I have tan lines as well, since Ive been sitting outside for the past 4 weeks, but unfortunatley they are bad lines, because we're only allowed to wear one piece suits...grr. I'm sure you'd be thrilled to hear that my camp name is Pokey... and I was named by another counselor, and only because on the very fist day at camp, I was attempting to get some soccer balls down from the rafters where they are stored, was poking at them with a stick (while standing on a bench) and just happened to comment on the ineffectiveness of my 'pokey' stick. The name stuck. I then proceded to break the bench, but that is just one of the exciting activities weve been doing. Gotta run. Oh, if any of you have any good ideas for practical jokes we could play, either on the whole camp, or just one counselor, we'd be happy to hear them. We've already done 2 flagpole tricks, and some dininghall rearrangements... we keep ourselves amused. Might see you all soon, if not, dont get too many ,more tan lines :-Þ
Pokey aka Herc-y aka Liz

2002-07-03T00:31:00.000-04:00

I can't believe it, Justine, my entire schedule was built around swimming at your place. I think Musey was even coming over. Well just cause your not home doesn't necessarilly mean.... ah bad thoughts... anyways i'll be gone all weekend until sunday evening. Well I must say SCOOBY DOO IS INCREDIBLE!!! I think it should be part of our next movie night. We must have a get together soon, i'm seeing everyone in bits in pieces, i need the whole thing here soon. Anyways have a good weekend Bru

2002-07-01T17:22:00.000-04:00

Apologies for the misinformation to Scooby, but unfortunately I will not be home on Wednesday for swimming. Seems we're going to Erie for the 4th (which just happens to be Grandma's birthday); leaving Wednesday after Mom gets home from work (afternoon) and getting back sometime on Friday. Therefore, anyone who wants to swim this weekend is welcome to do so.

I have tan lines. ::grins:: The water's rather nice. Call me if you have questions. Get Herc-y home!

Howdy All!
This week (Sat-Sat) I'm going to be at the beach (Avalon, again). So have fun in Lancaster, or wherever you're at. Talk to you all again next Sunday. I'm glad to see that the Muse has finally figured out how to use this thing! See you later.

2002-06-21T12:42:00.000-04:00

THE MUSE HAS ARRIVED!!!!! Well, actually S. Muse (aka the Stripper Muse) because apparently "Muse" has already been taken by some unknown mortal. Sounds like a case for some heavy duty newtification. Ah well, I'm just glad to finally be able to partake in all the fun. Only a Humanities Immortals Blogger would be worth such an ordeal. I'm still not sure how I made it - I didn't fix or change anything. I think it just eventually tired of playing games with me. And yes, the little scorched Euneuch is correct - my unemployed status has not been disrupted. Guess I'll just have to endure this "free time" stuff. Oh wait, and the whole lack of money issue. At least I have babysitting and lawn mowing. Don't I feel like a 10 year old without a "real job." Well, that's about it. Let's see if I can figure out how to post this thing. ~Muse

2002-06-20T21:45:00.000-04:00

Blast, well l'm gonna miss Liz this weekend. I'll be off holifying myself at steubenville ohio. Smyser when is your hell week at work? The muse and i want ice cream. Welcome back Justine, i'm gonna swing by your house on monday sometime and hope your home. Also Smys and musey what r u doing monday? Anyways peace out to you all Bru

2002-06-20T16:34:00.000-04:00

Greetings!

Liz

2002-06-20T15:45:00.000-04:00

Negative:
THE MUSE HAS NOT FOUND A JOB!
Also she needs a new invitation!!! HINT, HINT

2002-06-18T23:36:00.000-04:00

Gasp Shock Horror, Justine how could u. Anyways i'm back on solid foods and ready to have some fun. Actually while you guys were gone I managed to have a good time with my mortal friends. I hope everyone got my e-mail with e-mails, it took a long time so i expect praise. Sadly I will be gone this weekend so any welcome back Goddess parties will have to be held without me. I'm gone til Monday morning. Are you gonna be home on Monday Justine cause if so i'll drop by. Until our next gathering i bid u all adeui and lemme know if u guys work during the days. Has the muse found a job? Anyways have fun. Bru

2002-06-18T15:33:00.000-04:00

Howdy All-
Muse and I are back from the beach. We had a great time, except for my muteness and sunburn. When we got back several of us went to see the Bourne Identity. It didn't follow the book at all, so Muse and I were quite disappointed. Justine, we should invite more people into the group, like Mike Musso and Nancy Baker because they we involved too. And re-inivite Muse, her invitation has expired. Well that's it, I'm still working on the notes. See you later.

2002-06-18T00:32:00.000-04:00

As we haven't heard from Bru in a while, I hope he's still alive (where else would I get my licorice?). Wisdom teeth were good if only because I had milkshakes for three days from Burgerville. Then again, you guys wouldn't know about BV, but suffice to say that it's better than Rita's ice cream. Mwahaha. I wonder if Scooby has frozen at his computer yet.

2002-06-11T01:38:00.000-04:00

Well I'm within hours of going under the knife. lousy wisomteeth, who came up with that name anyways. well i just got back from my abridged vacation. a couple days at raystown, a day in yonkers and a day in baltimore, i've spent nearly 24 hours in a car this weekend yuk. Well Justine i hope your enjoying oregon. Lizzie in the wilderness and Smyser and Musy at the beach. I'll be stuck eating soft foods and lying around all day. Anyways party at my house Aug 3. Enjoy yorselves til then. Bru

2002-06-10T21:47:00.000-04:00

Well then, while the cat's away the mice can play, eh? I get home the 22nd. How's a movie night for the 23rd sound? Any takers?

Portland is great. I got you guys each a little (fifty-cents) something that suits your position in life. Yes, Herc-y, you should be worried. Mwahaha.

Hope you guys are enjoying your respective summer vacations. ; )

ttfn. ( *

2002-06-07T13:41:00.000-04:00

I'm off the wilderness. Hope the bears dont get me.

I have no idea at this point when days off are, except 4 saturdays- june 22 and 29, july 13 and 27. they might all be full already, though. depends how much i feel like driving to pittsburgh the 27, and whether i go on the planned trips- dont know what they are yet, so dont know. (i dont know much, now do I? what else is new) Anyhow, if im home with more than an hour of free time, perhaps I'll let someone know :-) Otherwise, everyone have a super summer, full of cookouts, bug bites, beaches, sunburn, staying cool, or whatever else it is immortals do in their free time!
Liz

2002-06-04T15:04:00.000-04:00

Howdy All-
I'm not a complete moron and I do know how to use these things, I've just been too busy. Didn't we invite Muse? I don't have anything from her on the posts. Well its finally over, but we still have this whole summer to have fun. Have a safe trip Justine (if you see this while you're in Oregon) or hope you had a good trip (if you see this post-Oregon). Bourne ID comes out in Lancaster on the 14th, so maybe we could go see it on the 17th (when Muse, Royers and I get back from the beach) or maybe a little later, after Justine gets back. Well that's it I've got to run. BBQ at Long's Park and all.

2002-05-30T22:59:00.000-04:00

Whatever time you show up is fine; I'd say ten o'clock or before would be ideal. Thanks for having us all over, Bru, I had quite a bit of fun (even though I am phenomenally bad at volleyball). I do appreciate the nice sets you gave me on purpose, even if you weren't always on my team. =P

My get-together starts at 7 pm on Sunday for anyone able to come. Oh, and in other news, I'll be leaving a day earlier for Portland than I thought. People from Dad's work are taking the company plane out to PDX for a meeting and so I'm ... going with them. Strangeness. They're leaving early Tuesday morning. I still get back the 22nd though. Anyone up for a movie day/night the 23rd? Who's doing the organization for The Bourne Identity Saturday? Anytime after four would be great.

( * goodnight ( *

2002-05-30T20:45:00.000-04:00

Well, I guess we know which immortals/smyser know ho to use a computer. I hope everyone had fun today. i'm going to try and do that kinda thing more often. I must say i despise this waking up early, it really bugs me. Well I do plan to come to your party Justine. I'm just not sure when. please give me a time that would be to late to come, i have know idea when i'll get done with my friends from harrisburg. Anyways keep postin stuff everybody and inform me of get togethers and parties, but by phone or e-mail please. Anyways have a good weekend everybody, Motnahp

Blogger 101

Alrighty, here's a crash course in blogger publishing. When making a post, I suggest you not write it in the actual posting area because blogger has been known to lose posts (and yes, that can be bad). Besides, there isn't a spellchecker anymore. Just write it in an e-mail and copy|paste it into here. Remember to hit the button Post & Publish not simply Publish or it won't actually go on the webpage, it'll just be saved down at the bottom part of the editor (where you make your posts) until someone actually publishes the thing. Remember to publish.

If you guys have access to the template (a button on the toolbar of the editor), please don't touch it. Let me know if you see any problems, but since I don't think any of you know HTML or CSS, I'd like to be the one at the moment who changes anything so that if I screw it up, at least I know what I did to do so. Thankies.

If you posted something and found a typo, something you'd like to change, etc., you can go back and edit the post (the bottom part of the posting screen lets you find your post and gives a link at the bottom to edit them). Just remember to post & publish again so that the changes go into effect.

Let me know if you have any questions. One last request of you all: post often! We want to hear about your day, your thoughts about music today, see interesting stuff you've read, etc. To post links, hit the world looking button on the toolbar of the editor. You'll get something like this: [a href="http://www.blogger.com"][/a][ with < > instead of [ ]. Write the name of the link in-between the site address (after the closing >) and before the /a part. The same concept works for bold and italics: [b] bold text [/b] and [i] italic [/i]. Just remember the / means to end whatever it is—don't forget the closing tag. Write whatever you want bold/italic in-between the tags, in the >this< part. ; )

Have a wonderful evening, guys, and I'll see you tomorrow. Humanities is officially over!

2002-05-24T18:16:00.000-04:00

And then there were three-or perhaps four, since I somehow managed to get the invitation twice. Goes to show how popular I am, apparently. No snide comments, please. Hey, now you won't have to worry about translations, since I can't write backwards or even illegibly on this. You lucky dogs,you. Guess that just leaves Solomon to figure this out, as if with that lack of intelligence that will happen...

2002-05-24T16:23:00.000-04:00

I've added a comment link so you can respond directly to a post if you can't/don't wish to write one of your own. I'll get us a guestbook later tonight and add some descriptions of us tonight or tomorrow; I spent half an hour fighting with my own blog and am done for now. Hopefully you guys start posting soon else it'll just be Bru and I—what a combination. ^.^

2002-05-23T23:35:00.000-04:00

Well I guess I'm the first to respond. Great idea Justine, certainly easier than journal writing i must say, and i don't have to worry about liz taking the whole page. finally i will be heard. On that note I really have nothing to say. Bru

2002-05-23T22:59:00.000-04:00

Welcome to the Immortals of 182's place to keep in touch through the summer and freshman year of college. Hopefully Solomon can figure out how these things work; he's a little slow sometimes. ^.^
