@ariel-ashira Is that a good interesting or bad?

Nothing right now, but I will be soon.

@ariel-ashira

No worries! How’s your research going?

@jenwriter17 @valtmy

I’ll probably be on later, but I want to get some writing done today, so I might not be on as much.

@ariel-ashira

Hello! I’ll be around for a bit 🙂

@ariel-ashira, I’m so sorry I didn’t see this till just now!! I’ve been pretty low on time this year, so haven’t been on KP in ages.

Thanks so much for drawing her! She looks great. 🙂

@dekreel. Thank you so much for sharing! I will absolutely be praying for you… 🙂

I’m two weeks away from finishing my last year of high school ever!!! *gleeful rubbing of hands* (If that confuses you, it just proves that you’re an American… In Australia, we finish a school year at the end of the year… How does that not make sense???…[Read more]

@dekreel Praying for you, my friend!

@dekreel It’s been amazing knowing you, friend-who-is-not-a-wolf! 😉 (See how nice I’m being?  I didn’t call you a wolf.  Aren’t you happy with me? 😛 I must admit that your tail is quite free of hair, unlike a wolf’s, but you must admit that your old profile picture didn’t include a tail, so you can see where the confusion began.)

I’m glad you s…[Read more]

@valtmy @Rochellaine

I must leave now. Bye!

That would be Ned Kelly, probably the most famous Australian ever, even though he was Irish. he thought he was Don Quixote and made himself a helmet and breastplate, though this unfortunately did not deter the police, who simply shot him in the legs to prevent his escape.

In case you don’t believe what I said about a tin can…

I…[Read more]

@valtmy 🙂

@seekjustice And who, may I ask, was that man?

Our Johnny Appleseed wore a tin hat.  It’s usually depicted as a pot or frying pan, but apparently it was just a tin hat which he ate out of.

We also tell of a giant with a blue ox…but unfortunately he isn’t real. 😉

@rochellaine

You say to the Australians, who glorify a man with a tin can on his head.

@valtmy

Hello!

@seekjustice

Yes, you mustn’t think our history is anything but dignified.  Ignore the fact that a crowd of Boston men dressed up in rags and painted their faces with “Indian war paint” so they could dump a lot of tea in Boston Harbor.  Yup, we’re very dignified.

@valtmy Hello!  So far SE is fine.  I’m kind of indifferent.  It feels a lot like…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I was just thinking that. He makes such detailed notes on the illustrations but we’re just left to imagine them 🙁

Very good advice. I might end up with slightly odd ideas.

Imagine if he was alive today and making satirical comments on modern society 😛

@seekjustice I wish the Gutenberg copy included the original illustrations instead of just mentions of them.  I’m sure they’re quite hilarious.  Maybe I should get a hard copy sometime.

I’d advise you not to read the Comic History of America until you know a little more about our history… 😛  Just like with his history of England, there are a…[Read more]

Well, it wasn’t easy to find “with a quick search of his name”, because that man wrote a lot but I did eventually find it and I’m up to Chapter 3 and quite enjoying it.

I’m at a stage in life where I have no motivation to do anything. Work, chores, even common-sense actions like brushing my teeth. Please pray that I snap out of it and that I rely on God for self-confidence and diligence.

@seekjustice Yes, it’s on Gutenberg. Should be pretty easy to find with a quick search of his name.

@rochellaine

Well, it made me laugh! I’ll have to keep a look out and see if I can find it anywhere. Is it on Gutenberg?

@seekjustice Here are a couple of quotes from it.

Bill Nye, Comic History of England quotes:

“The Druids largely lived in the woods in summer and in debt during the winter.  they worshiped almost everything that had been left out overnight, and their motto was ‘never do anything unless you feel like it very much indeed.'”

“Many a Saxon would…[Read more]
