@kaya-young I just watched the video this morning (and commented 😉 ). You are SO GOOD at hula hooping! I was impressed 😀

@dekreel Oh, and your sentiments regarding Rime of the Ancient Mariner, (“well written and interesting, but bizarre and hard to understand”) are basically my thoughts on Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. 😉 So I know exactly where you’re coming from. 😛

@dekreel I see. 🙂

My favorite book poem is The Courtship of Miles Standish.  I haven’t read many, though. (Unless you count Shakespeare.)

I’ve got to go now.  I hope to see you around again soon!

@dekreel Hello!

I’ve never fully read the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.  The only part I know is the famous “Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink” line. (That is from there, isn’t it? 😮 ) Is it an interesting story?

Do you like long story-poems?

@seekjustice Congratulations!  I’m sorry I was unable to let you know yesterday, but I was praying for you.  I didn’t have my computer with me all day and couldn’t tell you so. (Got the email notification on my phone.)  Anyway, I’m really glad you passed! 😀 😀

@seekjustice Yay, congratulations! 😀

@seekjustice Oh, I’ll be praying! Let us know how it goes 😉

signing off…

@rochellaine @kaya-young @dekreel @seekjustice @valtmy @ariel-ashira @alia @dragon-snapper Anyone on? I’m working on outlining and blog posts. 🙂

@dekreel What’s the essay topic?

😛 Yeah, I know.  It’s not really strange that you know more about a given subject now than you did a while ago.  I think what was funny was at the time I found it I’d just been having a long discussion about MBTI with you, so the difference was startling. 😉

@dekreel 🙂

Not a lot new.  Everything’s still going pretty slowly. 😉 Are you writing something right now?

I recently came across an old post of yours that I find hilarious:

@dekreel Are you still here?

@valtmy A random thought popped into my head today.  I wondered if you’ve ever heard of The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan?

@seekjustice That’s actually pretty cool. 🙂

Yeah, that’s basically how it is in America too.

The House of the Seven Gables.  Let’s see…okay, I’ve been trying to figure out how to explain the plot, and can’t, so I’ll just give you a link to the Wikipedia page and you can read it when you get the chance. 😉

Okay, I’ve answered a few of the…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😀

Apparently Benjamin Franklin thought the eagle would be a bad national bird because it attacks little birds and steals their food.  He proposed the turkey, but I think that would be rather silly.

Forgive us. 😛 Americans are mocked everywhere, and by our own selves, for knowing little.  There’s a joke I’ve heard which goes, “What…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yup, that’s the one.  The space shuttle is really cool too.  Here are a few pictures I took last time we went (sorry I’m not a great photographer 😉 ):

Haha.  Bald eagles are cool, but even if you think they’re funny, just consider the fact that our national bird might have been the turkey.  I think the bald eagle is much bet…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, it’s called the Air and Space Museum.  That one is really cool!!  I’ve been there several times.  I think you’d like it a lot.

Oh yes, now I remember.  I’ve heard them called pouches.

Haha. 😛  Are there any American animals that Australians think are cool? 😉

I’m liking The Secret Garden so far. 😀 What’s your favorite song from it?

@seekjustice There are several Smithsonians.  Is there one you’re particularly interested in visiting, or do you just want to go to all of them because they’re cool, free museums? 😉  I don’t think I’ve been to all of them.

Okay, I’m trying to find the Secret Garden soundtrack, then I’ll get to your questionnaire.

Hm, that’s interesting. 😛  Wh…[Read more]

@seekjustice No, we’re actually moving just a tiny bit closer to DC. 😀  Why the Smithsonian, particularly?

Oh, now I actually have a chance to look that up!  Give me a bit and I’ll listen to a few songs. Have you finished the book yet?

Thanks. 🙂  You should already have my comments in the document, right?  I just have to answer the general que…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’d love to join you! 😀

Unfortunately, I can’t stay up really late tonight because we’re moving tomorrow morning so I’ve got to get up early.  But I’ll probably be awake for another hour or two.  What are you listening to?

(Oh, and I realized today that you already finished September, but it’s still September here, so…I forgot t…[Read more]

@seekjustice Aw, yes!  But maybe I’ll come visit you in Australia and I’ll get to take pictures of kangaroos myself.  That would be cool too. 😉

It’s 2:00 a.m. here.  I think I’d better get some rest. 😀  Goodnight.
