Haha, that has to be the worst chain mail I've seen to date. It's pathetic, particularly the 'true stories' at the end. Some people just have too much time on their hands.

Pendragon

yup, and it wasn't me who wrote it...XP I dunno who did...

Interesting that that chain email was written before electricity had even been discovered.

I think you'll find people back then were far, far, far too polite than to send things like that to each other.

Anyway, it's the schools christmas concert tonight, I'm playing the descant for Hark! The Herald Angels Sing on my trumpet, wish me luck! I really should be doing my geography coursework, due in on Friday, but I hate it so much!

No wonder you fail your classes! Benjamin Franklin was dead by then. He had discovered the lightning rod in the mid 1700s.

Electricity wasn't invented - it always existed. People just didn't know how to waste it properly.

Jedi and SFF said discovered, not invented, Cat.

You passed the eye-test. Congratulations.

Nightshooter

Yes! I don't need glasses!

Nightshooter

I assume the REAL question, then, is why have it at all, correct? Excellent question... I've wondered the same thing myself. You'd think that if you couldn;t see it you'd be blind, and you wouldn;t have to have someone tell you to look at a chart to realize that you are blind.

Pendragon

lol, I can't see it without my glasses...I can hardly see anything without them...not quite myopic, but very very near sighted...

Oh, good luck with the Decant from one trumpeter to the next....^___^

~Penn

Nightshooter

Wow... really? Well, SFF, I guess that answers your question.

Pendragon

yuppers...with a bad astigmatysm in the right eye....lol. ah, the joys of the vision impaired.

~Penn

Nightshooter

I have a slight astigmatism, and I'm supposed to wear glasses, but I haven't in years since my eyes aren't that bad.

Pendragon

I wear mine every day...except when I'm about to fall asleep...^____^

A question of curiosity... how can anyone NOT see the big "E" on the eye chart?

Blindness. A real P-I-T-A even if you have only on one of your eyes, believe me.

Jedi Master

:O you play the trumpet!? We must discuss this further! Do you prefer to play jazz or classical? Do you have to play the Last Post ever? Oh and what trumpet do you have!?

Thanks for the good luck anywho!

Quite right about the electricity thing there, maybe I should have said before anyone had invented any electrical appliances!

Pendragon

lol...well lessie.

Trumpet Stuffs from Penn.

I like Jazz, but I love to play movie/play and classical. Also, I like Rock, so pretty much everything.

I have a Xeno Pro and a Schoolastic Blessing. I play the Blessing at home, only becasue it is a beginner and it's so out of tune. The Xeno is silver, and cost me mucho dinero, so I hardly ever let it out of my sight. But then again, there was this time when some Marines came to play with our band, and Sgt. Devorzak was fussing over the splendedness of the Xeno that I let him play it...but only that once...but If Lee Loughnane wanted to play it...(rambles) anywho...

The Blessing is called Sachmo after Louis Armstrong, and the Xeno still needs a name...any suggestions?

~Penn

Nightshooter

Xeno is a cool name by itself. Then again... so is blessing.

When I was young, I started to learn how to play the trumpet. It was only a month later that my older brother broke my arm and I couldn't play. Coincidence? Hmmm...

Pendragon

awww...that's sad...I've been playing since 5th grade, so...7 years. ^_____^ geeze...7 years...

I agree that Xeno is cool, but it needs a name other than the brand...because then it is unique...eh.

~Penn

PS. this is what the Xeno looks like:

and here's the blessing...just add about 20 years to it (I got it used):

Here's a little bit of darenhat trivia: apparently I cannot cook a skillet of bacon without burning it and setting off my smoke detector.

Cooking is not in my skill set.

Lol...Bacon is difficult to cook. I can cook, but not as well as I would like too, so I'm working on it. ^________^

Nightshooter

Cooking isn't my thing, either. I can cook a mean sandwich, but that is about all. Oh well, I'm not investing anything in my culinary skills.

Today was fine up until the end of lunch.
My friend Trini told me that my friend Lucy was dead angry with me and wanted to kill me.
I wished I'd stayed in the library, within the escape of the world of Alex Rider.
Well earlier in Lunch, this @ss called Callum said that she was going out with someone. She wasn't of course as she hates nearly all the guys in our year. )
I told her to go along with it, just wondering what else Callum would come out with.
"What?" she said. "What have you said? What have you done?"
Of course, I hadn't done a thing but I now couldn't help laughing as she started getting hysterical.
"Well..." I said, trying to wind her up. )
Then our friend Jo who had been with us got Lucy's attention, and I ran.
I wasn't bothered about what else Callum had said to Jo. Lucy's my best mate and if she was going out with someone, I'd have been the first to know. I knew Callum was probably just having a joke too, just wanting to see how Lucy would react. It was a little joke.
I didn't see Lucy for the rest of Lunch and when Trini told me what she did, I just laughed. ) I hadn't really done anything. She'd soon realise that.
We had Science that afternoon and once Lucy took her place next to me as usual, the whole thing would have blown over.
But it hadn't. Lucy moved and sat at the front next to the bodders. Lucy hated Science and she and I would usualy just talk all they way through it about John Lennon or make arrangements for the weekend.
I couldn't believe it. I asked my friend Emma to go ask her what she was so p*ss*d off with me about. But all she said to Emma was that I already knew. I told Emma to tell her I didn't and she was just like, "Oh yeah sure,"
I didn't talk to her for the rest of the afternoon and it really annoyed me.
What annoyed me even more was that my friend Hannah said I should go and apologize. Why should I? I don't even know what I'm supposed to have done! I haven't done anything!
I was getting peed off with Hannah too. Yesterday this other girl, Zoe, had been going through my pencil case and I saw her from across the room. When I asked Hannah what Zoe had taken, she said Zoe hadn't taken anything when I knew she had. I'd seen her walking off with something! X-(
It turned out to be a drawing of a Dalek I'd done. Nothing much but I was very proud of that drawing and it meant a lot to me personally. X-(
So I hated Zoe, was getting frustrated with Hannah, and Lucy hated me for no apparent reason.
Things couldn't have got any worse. And thankfully they didn't and haven't... for now.

Nightshooter

My advice would be that you beat them up.

Seriously, did you ask Zoe what she did with your drawing? You should yell at her. Then yell at Hannah for not telling you, because friends don't so that kind of stuff. Then go to Lucy and tell her that you really don't know what you did wrong and you'd like to make it right.

And if none of them responsd the way you want them to, you could always take my original advice.

Pendragon

awww...I'm sorry...*hug* I hate days like that...

My day was good. I gave Goober his Christmas gift, and he loved it! Goober's a big teddy bear, and also plays drums, so I got him an ornament of two little bears playing drums. He laughed, hugged me and mock sternly told me to go back to class. It was wonderful. Then, after school, I was in the Choir room with him as usual. I asked him what he was up to for the weekend, and he said he was free on saturday afternoon. I suggested that we take in a movie, and he agreed! ^____^

Go you! Nightshooter, I'm gonna take your advice, well, some of it, cus I've already yelled at Hannah and Zoe. And if it doesn't work, I think I might just go back to your original advice, cus I don't care if she's a black belt.
