Sorry for the delay — was caught up in my Demon Road rewrite and lost track of time!

But now the moment you've been waiting for, with thanks, as ever, to Mr Tom Percival, artist extraordinaire...

(Me too Kas. I just can't. *falls asleep*)

Inky Flame said...

(Chloe here
I'm leaving
Probably permanantely
No one will care
No one ha noticed that I never came back on the weekend
As I said in that poem called hello by sheenagh Pugh
'Nobody said goodbye'

Well
One person is
No one important
Me
Goodbye)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I'm sorry Chloe...
*hugs*
Miss you and best wishes.

Amethyst Temerity said...

*hugs Chloe* :(

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hangs head* I'm sorry Chloe..
I noticed earlier..
When Matex said how quiet blogland is.
And I thought about its dwindling population..


You'll be missed. Bye..
*sighs*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*mumbles*
Not so different to me.. except she went the right way..

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello.)

Claire: I took the pain, and turned it into something good. *she gestures to her costume* This.

Liliana: *she presses against Onwa, smiling*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I. Hate. Indoor. Games. Why. Can't. It. Be. Outdoor. Games. Today. Just. This. One. Day. I. Wanna. See. The. Eclipse. But. NOOOOO. Today. HAD. To. Be. A. Day. I. Was. Picking. Connor. Up. And. Thus. Couldn't. Skive. SCREW YOU SCHOOL!!!)


Well.. I'm not sure that's GOOD I mean look at that fashion sense.
*smiles*


Onwa: *holds Liliana close, smiling*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Jaimie. *cuddles her tightly*)

Claire: What's wrong with my fashion sense?

Liliana: I love you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs tightly back*)

*nudges her gently*
You're wearing a mask at the dinner table



Onwa: I love you too Liliana
*smiles*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I do not believe I will see the solar eclipse, either. *kisses Jaimie's forehead*)

Claire: My mask. It's my mask. I get to where it when I want.

Liliana: How was that for sadism?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(*wear.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Mmm. If we're alive still in 2097 we can watch it together *nods*)


Its rude..


Onwa: *grins, eyes alight*
Brilliant.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Although I doubt I'll still be kicking round then)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I can agree to that.)

Claire: Bethany, take off your jeans, it's rude to wear clothes at the table.

Bethany: ... What?

Claire: Silente logic.

Liliana: Hmm... Perhaps I should do that daily.

(I have to go now. Goodbye. *cuddles Jaimie tightly*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*laughs*
Jeans don't cover your face!
*gently squeezes Beth's thigh under the table*
She's allowed to keep them on.




Onwa: definitely..

(OW I LOOKED AT THE SUN!!!

*cuddles Soph tightly back*)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Actually, I will be here for just this next comment.

Do not look at the sun, Jaimie.)

Bethany: *she closes her eyes, sighing happily*

Phaestra: *she arches her eyebrow*

Liliana: Mmm...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I figured that out now..)


*smiles, squeezing her thigh gently again*
*glances at Phaestra and blushes slightly*



Onwa: *kisses her gently*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Other schools; its snowing lets close so we dont get killed going in!

My school: lets stay open and get everyone killed going in!

Let's not fucking consider the seniors and juniors driving themselves in.

Fucking idiots.

-Zaf

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hi.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hi, Kas.

-Zaf

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Zaffy! *hugs*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello.)

Bethany: *she sighs happily again, practically moving on to Silente's knee*

Phaestra: I know better than to ask.

Claire: Yeah... And I'm kind of used to it.

Liliana: *she kisses her back* Do you get a buzz out of being hurt?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH



WHY DID THE SNOW HAPPEN?!

ARGH!!!!!!!!


*explodes the snow in a sobbing ball*

Show....cancelled....14 hours of drama tomorrow.

-Zaf

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Zafira.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hello, Sophia. I can't stay long, we'redismissing in about 5 minutes.

Tis only going on 10am

-Zaf

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(For me, it is nearly two pm.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Yeah we turned clocks ahead before you so we are just four hours behind.

-Zaf

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I did not manage to see a great deal of the solar eclipse, but I do not especially care - it was cloudy, so if I would have actually managed to be there, I would not have seen it anyway.)

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Does anyone have Chloe's email?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I do, indeed.)

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Can you...give it to me? Please?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I do not know whether Chloe would like it given out publicly. However, I could email it to you if you are alright sharing your email?)

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Yeah, that'd work. Thanks!

Kestrellestarre@gmail.com

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(You are welcome. There are few people who I actually email, but Chloe and I did have a short email exchange a while ago.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Kes and Soph.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Tia.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

This picture is amusing me. It's Brandi Carlile and band. This is what she said about it:



London is going great!!
It’s foggy and vibrant and the kids are sleeping!

The show last night at the Union Chapel was the coolest most intense pin drop show yet!
Let’s do it again tonight!

Here we are pretending to be English. I’m taking a bow, Jeb still looks like a stoner kid from Colorado and I don’t even know what to say about Sam and Tim.
I love London!
Xobc


XD she's so great!

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Dugglyn.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Elleni. Try putting your hand up?)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Wait for a pause, like when they rearrange their stuff, then ask.




Hey Sophia! How be's yous and yous eyes?!

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Elleni and Duggy.

Explain the situation you're in to the teacher, maybe?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Or what Sophia said

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am depressed, but my eyes are fine. Yourself?

I believe it is customary to raise your hand when you have something to say in a class, it would be the most logical choice.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I'm good! My profile picture makes me happy!! I love Brandi Carlile!

And my eyes are slowly melting and drowning in refried beans but overall good!!!


But it is a person question and teachers sometimes get annoyed if you raise your hand in the middle of a lesson to bring up a personal issue.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
A IN FRENCH!!!
A* IN GEOGRAPHY!!!
C in art..
Not happy about art.
Have to do ANOTHER portraits final piece in art..
Grr.
One off a B.
Basically went insane at lunch due to this.
Spent most of lunch rocking slowly and laughing/giggles...
Yeah..
BUT ALSO BOOKS!!! LOTS OF BOOKS! MY BAG IS SO HEAVY NOW CAUSE BOOKS!!!)


*smiles, holding Beth close*


Onwa: perhaps.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Awesome Sil!!!

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Jaimie. I've gotten one off a B before, it's annoying -_-

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Well done, Jaimie. *cuddles her tightly* I am proud of you, as always.)

Phaestra: So Claire, when did you start dressing up like that?

Claire: Since I was six.

Liliana: Your eyes... Glisten.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Oh. Ooh. *hugs Jai*

*pulls Duggy into the hug*

Any weekend plans?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs duggy and Kassy back*
*cuddles Soph tightly back, smiling*
Thanks sis. It was a high A too! So my French average now is maybe around a secure B?)

Six? Wow..



Onwa: *tilts head*
They do?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*M looks at the comment number, then gently hugs Kas*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*growls at M*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

M: Yesterday was a mistake, Jaimie. *turns to look at her*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*glares*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Phone's dead. Bye.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*turns away from her and continues freezing Kas to death*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Congratulations, Jaimie.)

Claire: Yep, six.

Liliana: They seem to, yes.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Thats.. young.


Onwa: Hmm. I did not know that.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Apologies, it seems I disappeared briefly.)

Claire: ... It is?

Liliana: You must like it a lot.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*cuddles* that's fine, I had to eat)

Well.. Yeah. I didn't lose my.. first parent till I was twelve..


Onwa: *grins, eyes shimmering*
I do.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(*cuddles her back*)

Claire: I lost mine when I was five... And by that point, I was already able to kill a lot of people.

Liliana: Your eyes are shimmering again.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*smiles*)

*nods, hugging her gently*
I'm..sorry.


Onwa:*smiles*
Mmm. Interesting..

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Faking that smile.

Forgetting the pain.

Because everything's fine.

While I hide the mess that I am.)

Hi.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs kas and Ellie*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Elleni and Jaimie*

I'm sorry about that, Elleni.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(*she kisses her forehead*)

Claire: It's fine. They beat me whenever I missed a target.

Liliana: It is indeed.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello Elleni. Hello, Tia.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Sophia.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

That..
*frowns*
Still.. they're still your family, even if they're.. not the best parents..


Onwa: Perhaps we should experiment with this?
*grins, eyes glimmering*

Star Inkbright said...

(I disagree with Sil's attitude.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Star huh? Why?)

Star Inkbright said...

(I don't believe you should have to love a horrible person just because they happen to share some of your genes. I thibk that's bullshit. My love ans respect has to be earned, thank you very much, and if someone beats and abuses someone for years on end then the victim of said beating and abuse should not feel obligated to owe the beater and abuser anything at all.)
(I, personally, love my family, but that is because my family are awesome.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I know but.. I mean.. they're still family. They're all she had, I think. And family.. *shrugs* you miss 'em when they're gone.)

Unknown said...

Ahmaword, Ahmaword, AHMAWORDDDD!!!!.... 'tis B-E-A-UTIFUL.... I LOVE IT !!

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: I'm glad they're dead.


Liliana: Hmm... Perhaps we should.

Garret Falcone said...

http://the-reunion-blog.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/what-is-this.html?m=1

I'm posting this here, because I would like to spread the word about this blog

Because its not a personal one but its a blog for olides and newbies and everyone in between (mainly for oldies but yeah :P ) to meet up with each other and have a catch up and things like that

So please read it and spread the word

Thank you

Garret Falcone said...

Mine (need the ded )

Garret Falcone said...

Mine

Garret Falcone said...

Almost

Garret Falcone said...

There

Garret Falcone said...

Surprise!!

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(You have miscounted, I am afraid.)

Garret Falcone said...

*facepalms*

Too soon... I'm such a numpty...

Sorry bout that peoples

But yeah, I do need a ded )

Star Inkbright said...

Lol fail. XD
*meant in friendly way :)*

@Jai: That's just it. I don't see why 'family' should have a special distinction made for it. If you've lived with them all your life, I understand why you might treat them differently because of that, but jot because they share your genes or whatever. Nothing makes them any more special than anyone else except your perspective of them.

Star Inkbright said...

Also, thank you, Elleni. :)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am a little confused about the purpose of that blog? To allow older generations to meet with their friends who they will be in contact with anyway?)

Star Inkbright said...

God damn pretend-paper booklets.
Real past papers are so much better. *sighs*

Garret Falcone said...

Yes that's the point Soph,

Because what happens if someone wanted to talk to a friend but they didn't have their email or whatever?

And its just an idea that I'm trying to make work

We'll see what happens)

Okay, I will thank you for the idea Elleni :)

So the ded i should wait for but I needs to be said anyway is:

I ded to,
Everyone who has left the blog

Clara,
Chloe,
Danni,

Others (I can't remember any more... :/ )

You'll all be missed and welcomed with open arms like we should

I ded to everyone still kicking around here

You brighten this place up really well, you bring your own brand of uniqueness to this place and well paint it your own colour

Because this place is like a mural, with us the authors as the artists painting it

And its nice :)

So thank you everyone,

You've made people happier and helped then too


And i ded to my new blog too
Because I want to help oldies remain in contact with people

And generally offer a place for friendship

Thank you

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I believe it is customary to, if you care about someone here, exchange emails with them?)

Garret Falcone said...

Yes but what if you don't want to?


So okay, that is true

Its just an alternative option for people

Then they have the choice :)

Star Inkbright said...

OH MY GOSH these questions are so hard and the numbers are so awkward.
*dies*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(They do indeed. I was only questioning for your benefit - so you will not get hurt if no one or few people comment.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Garrett: Ummm . . .
I totally understand the scariness of emails, mostly coz it's one-on-one conversation, but wouldn't it just be easier to meet up here? No old minions will know about your blog, either, unless we contact them to tell them about it, and if we can contact them then is there much point in using the blog to contact when we have to contact via other means anyway . . . ?
If I'm missing something, please tell me. :)

Mary Contrary said...

((Hell, really?

I email, like, never???

But I care about everyone :( ))


((*hugs Blue* Lovely dedication, thank you. :) :) :) ))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Sorry. Was sent to the shop for tea and coffee for mum and the mons- the step dad.)


Oh..
*blinks*
Sorry..



Onwa: *kisses her gently, smiling*

Star Inkbright said...

*helplessly tries to work out twenty-five eighty-firsts of one yhousand four hndred and forty pounds without a calculator*
I will defonitely not be getting an A* on thid imposter of a paper. :P

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I agree, Star.

Hello again, Jaimie. *cuddles her tightly*)

Claire: *she turns around, unzipping the back of her suit, showing large scars across her back* I was not their daughter, or their student. I was nothing more than a punching bag.

Liliana: *she kisses her back, growing more passionate*

Garret Falcone said...

Soph, it won't bother me much if no one uses it

Its only an idea...

But thank you anyway :) )


You have a point Star *nods*
And i value it

So yes in theory for them to know about it someone would have to email them but if they ghost and see it then it works too (not likely to happen but still possible)

*hugs Taia back*
Thank you and your welcome :) :) :) :) )))


Welcome back Jai )

Mary Contrary said...

@Rhos: I think it's a nice idea?
And would probably be nice to meet in a familiar type of environment, without having to be full-on-blog, kind of.
idk.


@Star: O_O

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*cuddles Soph tightly back*)


*grimaces, watching the scars*
That's..
*shakes head*
I'm so sorry Claire...


Onwa: *matches her passion, using tongue*

Star Inkbright said...

Okay.
I get where Taia and Rhos are coming from.
Although I think the criteria people would have to fit for it to work is small (ghost blog, want to make contact but not enough to post on that blog they ghost, can't make contact enough to send an email but can enough to meet in another slightly less isolated off-blog place) would be quite narrow. Therefore, I predict it to have more than a 0% success rate, but not that much more of one.
I could be wrong.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: It's fine, I suppose... *she zips herself back up*

Phaestra: I do not know what to say. Those people owe you a childhood, Claire.

(Time skip, Jaimie?)

Star Inkbright said...

*know about it/be contacted about it but not be able to contact enoygh to contact back along that contact but be able to contact enough to contact on the blog

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

They owe her more than that..
*looks a mixture of angry and upset despite trying her best to hide it*


(Sure)

Star Inkbright said...

. . . 48 over 9 anyone . . . ?

Um . . .

45 . . .
45 and 54 . . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . . 5 and a third.
HELL. That is NOT an eady number to work with.

Star Inkbright said...

5 and a third divided by 3 anyone . . . ?

. . . Hell.

Garret Falcone said...

Yeah, Taia
You've got the gist of it :)

Star, you're correct, it is a small chance of them ghosting and finding it and emailing them about it kinda defeats the point of it
But its there for if (a big if) and when they want to use it

So basically its like a mini blog
Connected to the bigger blog...

Yeah :) something like that )

Star Inkbright said...

. . . One and seven-ninths.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: Would you like me to heal the scars?

Claire: *she shakes her head* It's a part of me, like everything else. And I am glad that I am me. Yes, they hurt me. And yes, they trained me to be an assassin for most of my life, taking advantage of my brain. But it is because of them that I put on this costume, and it is because of the costume that the streets are safe. And that is all that matters. All's well that ends well.

Liliana: How about that?

Star Inkbright said...

@Garrett: :)

Like TLC . . .

. . . I miss TLC.


. . .
OH MY GOSH.
JUST REALISED THAT WAS AN ESTIMATE QUESTION.
*FACEPALM*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I will be back soon.)

Mary Contrary said...

Whether it works or not, I think it's a nice thing to put out there. :)


@Star: XD
Oh, dear. :P
I was going to ask if that's actual maths h/w, before I refreshed. :P
I managed to get down to 4000/9, though, which was nice? :)

Garret Falcone said...

Star, yeah like tlc

What is it though? :D )

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

@Star try changing them to fractions.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, everyone.

Garret Falcone said...

Thank you Taia *hugs*
What you just said is very true (about it being nice thing to have out there )

Star Inkbright said...

@Rhos: It?

@Kas: Considering I have to take the final number away from an amount of money, that wouldn't really work. :(

. . .
Oh wait.
I was doing the question all wrong anyway.
*sighs*

Garret Falcone said...

@Star, the TLC thingy?

Hey Kas )

Star Inkbright said...

Omfg.
What is this question.

Okay, so you have scratch cards for £1, and you have a 16/81 chance of winning £1.50 from one of them and a 9/81 chance of winning £2 from one of them.
1440 are sold. All the proceeds go to charity.
I have to estimate how much money goes to charity.

WHYYYY

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Change it back when you're done. Forget the remainder because it's an estimate.

Mary Contrary said...

*hugs Rhos* :)

*hugs Tia* Hey. :)


Oh, I forgot a general greeting before. :P
How are you all? Did anybody get to see the solar eclipse today? Or, idk, anything else nice?


*hugs Star* Aw :/
It's easily done. ^^

But I'm with Tia, working in fractions is a nice sort of cheat once you get the hang of it. :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Garrett: Adra set up a blog called TLC for a small group of people to hang out on, coz she still wqnted to hang out with her online friends but she couldn't be online at the time without verbal abuse being hurled at her. The majoriry of the Aladra roleplay took place on TLC. However, TLC's been shut down for a while now. Well . . . it hasn't been deleted, but as far as I'm aware no one can get on it anymore, so it's pretty much the same thing.
It was a safe blogspace. A safer blogspace. With safe people. But it got lonely, so few people being there compared to here.

Star Inkbright said...

Hmm, yeah, but converting fractions is sonmuch work. :P
Less so if you can ignore the estimate, though. :) Thanks.

Garret Falcone said...

@Star, ahh I see now
Well, that was really nice of Adara to do that (even though the reasons for it were bad... )

So yes, that's basically what the blog is ish )

Taia, I'm good thank you
And no I missed the eclipse, I slept through it...

Yourself? (for both questions) )

Star Inkbright said...

. . .
You know, I give up.

Star Inkbright said...

. . .
I am sorry, but I've done eight past papers in the past eight weeks and so I can say from experience that my GCSE will not be as hard as this flipping imposter booklet.

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: Depends what you're used to, though. I adapted to fractions very quickly this year, and it just seems like less effort now. :P

And- What are the rules for estimation?


@Rhos: Good to hear, but also a shame you missed it? Sleep = good, though, so, idk. :P

I'm good too, thanks. :)
Except that planning my future keeps happening which is SCARY. O_O

I DID get to see the eclipse, which I wasn't expecting. Our chemistry teacher let us join the physics classes for a half hour, and they had solar glasses and telescope projecting, which was a nice way to start the day. :)

Star Inkbright said...

. . .
Fuck.
I know what this question wants me to do, but it hasn't given me enough necessary infornayion fuckfuckfuck.
I know exactly how to prove the length is 1/squaeerootof3, but as we're talking about a PARTICULAR triangle and they've given me no LENGTHS . . . ?
Besides, this doesn't come up in GCSE anyway.

URGHHHHHHHHHH.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am back.)

Mary Contrary said...

*hugs Star* That's fair.

It's like, I remember German GCSE and the imposters for reading and listening papers were really, stupidly difficult. And it was the most ANNOYING thing. :/
I ended up losing one of those booklets and not doing a single of the listening homeworks after that point. And it didn't make a bit of difference.

I guess the upside of that is - if they're trying to make GCSEs harder, you're more prepared to push a little further? If they throw something harder at you, you've got a little more knowledge & ability & development to DO that.
And it helps your understanding too, so other questions which actually DO come up on the paper - they become easier/quicker to answer, if you see where I'm coming from?
But, idk.

*hugs*

Star Inkbright said...

I was in art. They wouldn't let us see. Considering looking atbthe sun can permanently damage your eyesight and if they lwt us look at it and our eyesight got damaged then they could get sued, I thought it was fair enough. :P

@Taia: I wouldn't know.

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: I guess. It just frustrates me because I know the fault is with the question as opposed to me, and so I know it's not my FAULT I can't answer and as such it just makes me get indignant and liableto come online and complain. :P

Mary Contrary said...

* When I say I lost it, I mean, I accidentally handed it in with the other question booklet and never getting it back. Not sure if that counts as ME losing it or not. :P

@Star: :/ :/ :/
Do they give you angles? Or any other info? Like, in the writing bit of the question or something?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I believe the tactic of getting you used to harder things so the exams themselves seem easier is also a good thing.)

Star Inkbright said...

Whereas with a normal question, I'd know it was my fault and that I should know this and, of not, teach myself it, and I'd know I'd have to learn this if I wanted to do well and as such I just had to get on and do it.
But if I learn to answer faulty questions, that isn't teaching me how to answer questions I will need to know and so isn't helping me to progress to where I need to be.
. . . Although it's maybe helping me answer faulry questions, which is a skill I probably need. Unless someone tells me what to do specify enough, I tend to just flail incompetantly and either have to do it all wrong and look incompetent, freak put and get nowhere, or ask them a billion questions about the question and irritate them.

Savannah said...

(I have three undedicated pages. Now's the time I guess...

Page 1; I dedicate to international happiness day. Hopefully yours was better than mine because I had a shitty day.

Page 2; I dedicate to Chloe. Hopefully you will see this at some point. I've known you for three months. That's it. Three months and today when you told me you left, I cried. I never cry for friends, only for me. But today I cried a hell of a lot. I miss you, and love you as a big sister. Damn, I forgot my PE kit today because of you. You silly Chloe. :( )

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: Yeah, I know all the angles. But it's non-calc and it's about a specofic triangle (so I can't say 'let side AB be 1cm' or whatever), so meh. I give up.

Star Inkbright said...

:( *hugs Saoirse*
Don't worry. As you see more people leave, you will eventually get used to it and not even care anymore.

(I think my estimations have gone slightly with society - because someone actually decided to create an international happiness day.)

Savannah said...

(That's nice.)

Star Inkbright said...

And I have to gibe thevanswer in cm and I don't know how to cos, sin or tan withour a calculator and you don't need to know how to for GCSE so there, not my problem.

Sir said...

What about all the poor national happinesses, though? Enjoying an all-American barbeque, mocking the silly chaps from across the Pond, or being able to point in Paris' general direction at any time and sigh in disappointment?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(There is no such thing as national happiness, or international happiness. There is only individual happiness.)

Savannah said...

Velvet: *walks*

Sir said...

Well gee, that seems discriminatory to all the poor nations and internations out there.

Garret Falcone said...

hear hear *hugs seir*

Well... That unintentionally rhymed... Awesome )

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I do not believe rock can be offended, Fool.

Star - I do not know what the particular question is, or even if there is a diagram - but measure the triangle, perhaps?)

Savannah said...

*has no clue where she is going*

Sir said...

Well that's borderline border racist. All those poor lines.

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: *nods* We weren't supposed to go out unless we had the glasses.
BUt the physics dept. did, and we were TECHNICALLY with them. Plus, this weird sixth form privilege thing that seems to happen, by which nobody really cares? :P
But, yes.

And- :/ :/ :/
I know. And that is SO frustrating and unfair.
Because it's not your fault you don't know it, and you don't need to know it and you'd rather spend your time learning what you DO need to know.

But- without a calculator, I wouldn't be able to do that, either?
Some boards might expect/have previously expected that you know the sin/cos/tan values for some common angles, but, since that's not applicable -- no, that's not your problem?

Maybe just tell the teacher you don't know how to DO it? That's not your fault. :/ ^^


*hugs Saoirse* I hope tomorrow is better for you. :(

Savannah said...

*realises her feet have taken her to the forest*

Mary Contrary said...

@Soph: Well, yeah, but - if I'm understanding the question correctly - measuring 1/[rt]3 cm is not the easiest? o0


Savannah said...

*trips over the exact same root as last time* *sighs* I suppose some things never change.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Taia - it would be, what, about 0.57cm? I, admittedly, am not the best when it comes to the majority of maths. The lack of context seems to confuse me somewhat. Applied maths - I can do perfectly fine. Physics used to be my favourite subject when I used to be in education.)

Savannah said...

*stands and brushes herself off* *notices the tree stump where-* *sits on the tree stump and pulls her knees up to her chin*

Mary Contrary said...

@Sophia: Around that, yeah.
But that's not an expectation at GCSE.
But my point was, try measuring 5.8 mm with a RULER. That's TOTALLY unrealistic. ^^

Savannah said...

*watches the sunset sadly*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Perhaps. I do think that there should be rulers which are more accurate.)

Mary Contrary said...

*Also - cool. *likes physics, too* :) :) :)

*nods*
But the human eye can't read to that precision? Neither can an ordinary pencil draw to it, I'd have thought. ^^

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: They always tell us the diagrams are not to scale. You're not meant to measure. :)

@Taia: It's just a badly-written question. :) I'm sure my teacher won't mind.

Star Inkbright said...

Also, they wouldn't expect us to know the square roo tof three without a calculator, adn certainly wouldn't get us to measure it.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(The square root of three has been calculated to, I think, ten billion digits?)

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: It's an irrational number. It doesn't end. We'd have to round it and me-

actually, we'd just haev to measure the other sides and soh cah toh or pythagoras it, but. :P

Star Inkbright said...

. . .
So I somehow started quilling in my artwork.
And I decided to look it up today so I could get some artists' research and shit.
And like
like
the artwork on pinterest for this is so beautiful and I just feel rubbish and inadequate now. -_-

Star Inkbright said...

. . . But now I just found a quilling board.
Like
one with different special shapes.
And considering I'm working with roller glue and just my hands (I don't even have a guillotine to cut the paper straight), I think I@m doing fine. C:

It's all good. :P

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Just because you consider someone's better, does not make your work any worse.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: Yes, but I work a lot better when I think I'm skilled and special. When I think I'm inadequate nad useless, my enthusiasm tends to die.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(But your artwork will not be designed in exactly the same way as any other person's on this planet or any other. Your work is unique, and your style is unique. Why compare your work to anyone else's?)

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: . . . Just because I may have a slightly different style doesn't mean that things I view don't exist on a scaley spectrumy thing of aesthetic pleasure as defined by me and my brain. And uniqueness is also a valued quality that I have to attain, so shifting the focus from 'skill' to 'uniqueness' doesn't really solve much.
I'm better off in the 'skill' bucket tbh.

Star Inkbright said...

As I'm someone who's very skilled at copying. XD

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(As someone who is terrible at all things creative, I am somewhat impressed with those who can draw. Not, particularly, with famous artists - just the people who I know.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: I tend to be very impressed with people who I know who can draw. It's something to do with the fact that they can produce in THERE in FRONT of me and I KNOW them. It makes it seem more real. It's like the different between seeing a photo of a mountain on Google and actually seeing the mountain for yourself.

That said, when we went to the art galleries in Paris I was totlaly freaking out at all the pretty artwork and my Paris buddies were just like "wtf it's just artwork" and I was just like "??!!?!!?!?!??!?!" and C was like "You know, I get like this over music, but not artwork" and I was just like "BUTITSSOPRETTY."
:P

Now that
that is just unfair.
They look like real flowers wtf.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

What happened to Jaimie? ;-;

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(There is so such thing as being too perfect, Star - and I believe those flowers suffer from it. They look so perfect, they cannot be real.

I believe I will stick with my music. Art is good for as long as I know the person who has made it, in my opinion.)

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Amy, Star and Soph!

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello Kas. How are you?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Amethyst.

Tia - My current theory is that she fell asleep.)

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello Sophia. How are you?

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: O_O

woah

:0


msd/not-really-here

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello Taia. How are you?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am depressed, Amethyst. Yourself?)

Amethyst Temerity said...

I'm fine, thanks.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am also, admittedly, rather tired.)

Mary Contrary said...

I'm goodish, Amethyst.
Tired and drawing orc children for some reason (?) :P
Thanks for asking. :) ^^

Amethyst Temerity said...

Oh, well, it is getting late...

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: :)

@Sophia: :)

OH MY GOSH IS THAT THE TIME

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Yes, that is the time.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Depressed, Amy. *hugs*

And I'm glad you're okay.

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: INDEED, THAT IS PROBABLY THE TIME :P

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello Star. How are you?

Amethyst Temerity said...

*hugs Kas back*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

@Star When will then be now?

One believes you ought to sleep, fair maiden.
*then proceeds to wrap petite arms about Ms S Inkbrights waist*
You, also, need rest, fair maiden. Strain yourself no more.
