Now that another of our old members is back (Nicky! ) I thought it'd be nice to bring one of our old topics back... the former Random Room of Three, except that this time is the Random Room of many. Basically this was the non-rpg place of the board.. for those who sucked at it (me).. to talk about.. not random facts like "how many raindrops fall in a storm" but just.. conversation on a daily basis, you know?
So yeah. And welcome back, Nicky. Maybe I'll apply again to Ravenclaw so we can be the posting team again.

Thanks Rita. (ok great, this seems like a TV show now... I dunno why, I just pictured a TV show, saying that...) The random room of three... was that 2 or 3 years ago? Or was it last summer? Ah, it all blurrs together... You know what? Everyone should download "Dying like this" by spend the night. Hey, I do like random facts... I wish I could think of one now. I can't. Guess my IQ's dropping. You do know IQ drops a couple points during the holidays, right? It comes back... But it does drop. Oh wait... that was a random fact

Okay, a random fact:
The excuse of "my dog ate my essay" happened. Fifteen minutes ago. I've been working on an essay about the meaning of life for Philosophy according to some topics the teacher gave me, and I just found pieces of it lying on my bedroom's carpet. And I had to hand it in tomorrow... the mark I'll have on it is the mark I'll have in the end of the term. One month's work. I have to do it again now but it won't be so perfect, it was so well written... Oh well. I have to go finish it now.
I'm out of chocolate and cookies. I can't possibly study without either of these.
I guess it was two years ago... when me, Gabi and Brit were expelled from the Rainbow Society by.. can't remember her name. She said we were making the RS random. So we decided to make a random room of our own without disturbing the RS. What was her name? She used to hang out with Leia a long time ago... argh, can't remember.

Oh yeah, I remember that! But I have no idea what her name was... The Rainbow society did kinda die down after that... That's what happens when people are mean to others! Everything is ruined! And yeah, I remember now, that was 2 years ago... Lol, I was still a secondary school kid... I feel so old now You should go to the store and buy choclate. I always save my stuff on my computer. Or otherwise I put papers in a scribbled folder and put that in ym scribbled backpack. And Rita... Maybe the one you'll make will be better. Like I had the final project which was in teams, and one of the kids never did anything, so the other and me agreed she'd design the web page, and I'd do the written project. We failed and it was worth 20% of the grade So good luck I have no idea why I todl you that story...

No, we don't mind. Anyone and everyone can join in. I never played that game before TD. I like being on holidays, except when I get bored. Which is actually pretty often, but then I go to the movies or soemthing and I stop being bored. Speaking of which, do not watch the punisher if you don't wanna suffer.

Hello ya'll!
I was thinking about this and I was wondering if I could have your opinions...
Comfort food: Good or bad?

Comfort Food? Like eating 'cause you have problems... I s'pose it's not so bad, but it *could* lead to an eating disorder if it gets out of hand, you know? And I must say, I do find it kind of funny when someone's so happy they have lost 40 pounds on their diet that they eat a cake.

Yea, I do find that kind of pointless and it fights pretty much what you've been working so hard on.

So, is there anything you 2 never shut up about? Like, if I get started about music (or my bass) I can go on for hours and hours. People are constantly telling me to shut up, stop singing, get out of the record store, or coming to me when they don't know some band (which is weird, 'cause it's not like I know every band on earth ) "Hey nancy, you know who the misfits are?" "You know whose song 'I want t save you' is?" And then they'll ask me questions about pop/rap music and I'm stumped. But yeah. I guess you could say it's my completely random obsession. I mean, the day I was supposed to meet with the IB guy so he'd tell me if I was in or not, I was listening to Mae while waiting for him. And the day(s)I got sent to the principal in french or math class, I also waited with music. I just love it. I'm lucky I found a couple friends about as crazy about it as I am, at my new school. Any of you got a crazy obsession like mine?

You know, it's weird. Because I'm not an incredibly thin person, thought I'm not fat either. I just happen to have big thighs. But I can't eat any kind of cakes and everything because, supposedly, I immediately gained more pounds. But recently I found out that I actually lose weight if all I eat are Chips Ahoy, tea, and chocolate croissants. And thinking of it, it's kind of true. I spent last Summer feeding myself with tomatoes, Pringles, Ice Tea and cookies and I came back to Portugal thinner than ever. So yeah. Go me. (Of course I wouldn't evet go in a diet with chocolates... I'm going to another nutricionist next Monday).
You see Nicky, it's not a matter of being happy because you lost weight and you eat a cake. That can happen, but do you think that just because you're on a diet you're not able to eat something a little more fat every once in a while? You can do it. If you spend all your days eating vegetables and grilled fish and meat, of course that on weekends you can commit one or two 'sins'. It's not like you're gonna gain all the weight you loss back.
Something I can't shut up about? Hmm... I don't know, I wouldn't say music because I've passed that phase already, but it probably is. Though I don't think I'm in the phase of being enthusiastic about it and downloading every song by every new band. I guess that my love for music now is something so natural that I've learnt to live with it without getting annoying and without talking about everyday. I still do, of course. When people come to ask me about some band or singer I immediately tell them their whole biography But if there's one thing I can't shut up about is Placebo. I've been worse, I admit. But it's like, whenever people are talking and I hear something similar to something Brian said I always go like "you know, Brian once said that...". Last Wednesday during the Linkin Park gig (*goes to puke*) I was the one shouting "Placebo! Placebo!"... but yeah, I was drunk, that doesn't count. But I guess we already have a music forum to discuss it. We don't need to bring it elsewhere now, do we?
I can't believe my mother woke me up at 8:47 am. She says I need to put more clothes inside the bag, but if there's something I hate, is to pack up. She says that if I don't do it soon she's gonna put the clothes herself which is bad. If she does it, I'll look like a choir girl all weekend. ;D
I'm having nightmares with school. See, next week is going to tell me if I'm moving on to Year 12 or if I'm gonna be stuck in Year 11. Again. It'll be the second year I repeat, since I had to repeat Year 10 as well. Basically this is all my ex's fault, because last term I hardly went to classes and my marks equaled shit. This term I started to recover but I can't possibly erase all the damage I did before. So let's hope. I think I'm gonna take a lot of pills on Tuesday before I go to school so I won't be nervous before getting my History result. Too many pills. And then I'll die. And then I won't have to bear the shame of getting behind yet another year.
Gotta go pack up.

I suppose there's nothing wrong with being an average-weighted person. I mean, look at me! I'm pretty happy with who I am, and if my friend's right and you need to weight your height in cm's minus 110, then I need to lose like 7 kilos. But I don't think I'm fat, and I don't care. How's that? Beat stereotypes in the face! You don't need to be 1.80 and 50 kilos to be pretty. Actually that looks pretty ugly... Too tall. Yeah, those people need to put on some weight. I have a friend like that (almost 1.78, 55 kilo) and he eats and eats and eats and he never gains weight....
People are weird.
I don't like veggies. Only broccoli. Yeah. And sometimes this thing I don't know the name of with cheese. I also don't like pepperoni...
Where will yuo go, Rita?
I...I like school. At the beginning of the semester, I had weird dreams that involved my math teacher, my first semester math teacher, the evil kids on my bus (which in ym dream, was more like a spaceship,) a couple of my friends playing guitar, and me running from eveything. (My friends were just there to put music on it...) Then I would find my english teacher and she'd tell me off for cutting her class and fail me. I think that was in the second report, it wasn't actually at the beginning... it was a bit before the middle.
Uh, Rita... you don't know what's gonna happen? And what si it with your school anyway? Don't you have extraordinary exams there? I know half the people in my grade would have failed if we didn't. And at the pther school you fail subjects, so that's even better and all...

Dogs. My dog or dogs in general. Either which. Just when you get me on the subject I can go on and on and on...it's like a disease or something.
Aw, rita. That majorly sux. I hope you get through that and are going to be able to go on to Grade 12. The best of luck with that.

Hey, Rita, sure you'll pass,you're a smart girl. If your teachers can't see that, it's too bad. You know, I was sure I wouldn't pass Math, I failed the last report (61 or 62..), and during the second report he'd graded us on a 15-point curve, so I got an 88, but I'd actually gotten a 73... I had barely done any homeworks all semester, and the last things we saw were really messed up and confusing. I.even.studied. Me. Studying Math of all things... And in the end, I got a 76 which goes up to 8. And I was really worried I wouldn't pass because then I wouldn't be in the IB. Oh and French, I was worried about having too many absences, because halfway thru the semester I was already on the limit from being taken out so much. So you'll pass, just have a little confidence in yourself, 'k?
And now for something completely random, yesterday I was trying to tune my bass (every string was out of tune but the G string) and when I was tuning the second string (which was the first I had to tune) I turned the knob to the other side and I broke my string. ::)I wanna go buy a new one today, and buy a tuner too... It's kind of weird, playing 3-string bass.
And yet another random thing... I think I'll watch PoA again today. We have half-price movie tickets, and there are no movies. There's no way on Earth I'll go into The Punisher again, and we just watched the Ladykillers on Friday. So yeah.
