Flames

Jeremiah was a Balrog.
Was a good fiend of the mine.
I didn’t understand a single word that he said,
But we fought for a long, long time.
And, Boy it was a mighty deep mine.

Joy to Middle Earth!
All the Elves and Dwarves!
Joy to the land of Mordor where the shadows lie,
And Joy to you and I.

If I were the king of the world,
Tell you what I'd do.
I'd throw away the orcs and the wargs and dark lords,
And return the ring to Mount Doom!

Sing it now...
Joy to Middle Earth!
All the Elves and Dwarves!
Joy to the land of Mordor where the shadows lie,
And Joy to you and I.

You know I love the Hobbits.
To help them with that ring.
I’m an eagle flyer and a Shadowfax rider,
And a white mage returnin’ the King.
I said a white mage returnin’ the king.

Joy to Middle Earth!
All the Elves and Dwarves!
Joy to the land of Mordor where the shadows lie,
And Joy to you and I.

I think British pirates just don't say 'Ar.'

Don't mind me, I'm just here to strangle your captain. ~Sluggy

No way we're changing the template after 4 posts.

Oranges

I've once again changed my title scheme. The new scheme, until I come up with a better one, is "Things that are orange" It was going to be things that are norange, but I realized that there are simply way too many.
So, excellent news! The cast list finally came out for "The Magical Lamp of Aladdin," and I am not only in it but Aladdin himself! Rif-raff, street rat, Prince-Ali-mighty-is-he Aladdin! And Nathan is my monkey, Alakazam. (Certian characters have different names than in the Disney version because of copyright reasons). Anyway, I don't know when it'll be yet, but I'll post when I find out.
Also, keep an eye out for Nathan and I in the Indianapolis Star on Thursdays. At some point we're going to be featured as "Exemplary Youth." This would have to do with our National Merit Semifinalist Status. Basically, life is good.

You have a time-ukulele that's powered by love and you didn't tell me?
I did tell you, but you forgot when the robots used it to alter the timeline.

Each one of you shall help to make things slip by telling to stories on the outward trip to Canterbury

I just had a thought, and I wanted to put it out there before I forgot it. Since I think it's safe to say that we've all pretty much abandoned the SP Writers' Contrast, what do you say we use that blog for our NaNoWriMo stories this November. To give encouragement and whatnot. Just a thought. I don't know, what do y'all think?

Parley! I invoke the Right of Parley!

I must state that I did not, unfortunately, know that it was Talk Like a Pirate Day. I was not informed. But! Since I was corseted today, I think I played the part of the wench, or perhaps the kidnapped maiden. Probably the latter. Oh, I will go on at length about my corset later. I adore it.

Let's see... what do maidens kidnapped by pirates say?

"Have I been taken away by the pirates? I must've been!"
"Oh, I'm scared again! Look, it's me being scared!"
And, of course...
"Look at that cleavage!"

Look at that cleavage indeed, me hearties. Look at that cleavage indeed.

Let me get this straight. You're a bunch of geeks and nerds taking advantage of a dangerous situation to play pirates? ~Sluggy

Ahoy, me hearties. I'm supposin' I ought to have a go at the pirate talkin' business. I'll start by anserin' Nathan's question. I'm thinkin' the British pirates don't spend a lot of time saying 'Arrr,' or they drop thar accents all t'gethar and take the classic piratey di'lects. Me second order of business is to lament over the quickly approaching removal of me wisom teeth. I'm afraid we can't afford the drug to put me to sleep, other wise I'd tell ye to wake me at the zenith of the moon. In othar news, a particular stick-weilding ninja has sullied me woman's honar. I ought to run 'em through, but the filtyh bilge rat aint worth me given him the black spot. I'd rather not elaborate on the particulars, but it is enough to say that he'd've seen the unfriendly end of me cutlass had he been around.

Lament O' the Irish (Scottish?) Pirate

Arrr, it be international talk like a pirate day, and a fine day fer talkin like a pirate too. But the bloggin' must go on regardless.
Me Beauty, she's half a mind too make me walk the plank, and I'm none too certain what I did. As far as I know, she be angry at me fer not sayin' goodbye to her when I was gonna see her five minutes later. Arrr!, it shivers me timbers.
I was thinking today about British Pirates. British people don't pronounce the R's at the ends of words, so would a British Pirate go "Ahhhh"?

So they were trying to reinvent themselves and their universe. Science fiction was a big help.

They say that this youth has set my lady's heart aflame...

So, I'm back at Hanover and it's really busy. I've had one or two meetings every day since Monday. I have an 8 a.m. class four days a week. I have ADPi and German club. And now I have a play.

I got cast in our first play of the year, called She Stoops to Conquer. It's a Restoration period farce. Which means-- awesome costumes! and awesome comedy! It's a really funny play and you're all invited to see it on October 14th, 15th, and 16th. I'm really excited. I didn't think I was going to get cast,especially since this major veteran of the theatre was up for my part also, but man I really wanted it. And I got it! And then I went "Squee!"

I'm really proud of the way I'm handling everything. I'm just sort of taking it one day at a time, and it's going okay. The only problem is that I tend to have trouble sleeping because I have so much to keep track of and it all keeps running through my head.

I don't have a roommate now, and I still don't know how long that's going to last. The roommate I was supposed to have transferred. But I really enjoy the extra space so I hope she doesn't get replaced. My books are living in her dresser.

It feels like I've been down here for ages, but it's only been a week. Yargh.

They won't see us waving from such great heights, everything looks perfect from far away...

Well I feel bad now that I accused all of you of being lazy slackers who don't update enough because now I can help move us along and I still don't update. I've been pretty busy with tennis and school and personal life and just haven't gotten around to updating. So here it is, my month or so.

Listen:
I read a lot these past few bits here. Lots of Vonnegut (Breakfast of Champions, Slaughterhouse V) and more dystopias (1984, Brave New World, A Clockwork Orange (which I just started)) and some King (still working on Needful Things.) I also have played 8 tennis matches which takes a long time. (I've won a whopping two of them, both against IPS teams. not good) I have also learned some Calculus, done some homework and just did normal Matthew stuff. I also broke up with Michelle and used too many parentheses.

...Oh, you want to know more about that last bit there? Not the part about the parentheses? oh, ok.

Well she went to college, duh! What else was supposed to happen? I had expected it but it still doesn't make it hurt less. I miss her but I think it was for the best. She sounded kind of distant and like she needed some conceptual space along with the actual space she just got. She needs to grow some right now and doesn't need me bogging her down with my high school lifestyle.

I also got my driver's liscence, yay! I'm driving to school almost everyday which is helping with the convenience but not with the gas bill. ouch 3 bucks a gallon. Luckily, since I'm going to school, the parents are paying for it. We hooked Andrew up to the internet in his room so, we see even less of him now. I also am still waiting for the stillborn King Lear thing to come back to life. I'm hoping since I have a liscence that I can get up there to see some of you guys soon. Good talking at you guys, hopefully the next wait won't be so long.
