if you could give us a list of books so that we don't get caught up in one of those clunkers, that would really be great. and you could add those to the list of clunkers on the clunkers board.
3G.A.B.E
Okay, thanks the worst by far I read was Backstage Pass and it was so horrible, I couldn't finish the books (it was only about two centimetres thick and that goes to show how terrible it was)
4cornpuff12
wow. so was ghost of spirit bear. it was like half a centimeter thick, and i only read the first ten pages.
5G.A.B.E
ROFL!! I have heard of that book, the title sounds lame, ooh .. Ghost of Spirit Bear, who wants to read about the ghost of a bear??
6cornpuff12
its not a ghost. it is about two boys, and they move into the city, and they keep thinking that they see a bear walking around in the streets of MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA! and it is really cheesy. one boy always says: "you just don't get it, do you?" it's like his punch line.
7cornpuff12
what does rolf mean?
10cornpuff12
yeah. it is the sequel to touching spirit bear, which i thought was uber sappy. especially at the end.
12cornpuff12
okay, whatever u say, but we are all just trying to vent some of our feelings so that it won't make US sick.
13G.A.B.E
Lol, Stoe but I agree with Cornpuff, keeping feelings in isn't right!! But keep the topic board .. so, what do you want talk about, Stoe?
14G.A.B.E
Lol, Stoe but I agree with Cornpuff, keeping feelings in isn't right!! But clear the topic board .. so, what do you want talk about, Stoe?
15cornpuff12
what is with all the double-posted posts lately? it is getting a bit annoying. has anyone heard of like, a problem that the staff hasn't taken care of yet?
16G.A.B.E
Oops, sorry, I don't know how that happened and I assure you, it was my first time. I find it annoying too, especially when it's triple posting :)
17cornpuff12
i know, i think it happens when people click the post button again after their computer doesn't post, and then the comp thinks that u want it to double/triple post.
18G.A.B.E
Yeah, that sounds logical. My Internet was crazy yesterday, it was so slow .. it turned out my brother was hacking the Internet and taking most of the downloading speed >:|
19cornpuff12
he was hacking? u better tell him to stop, because he can get in trouble for that. maybe even get arrested.
20G.A.B.E
He was hacking into our modem. He's pretty good at it. He would never do it to someone else, my Dad gave him a HUGE lecture on privacy laws and stuff.
21cornpuff12
tehe. that is hilarious. i have done that before to my own modem. ours has a password, and it kept saying that ours was invalid, so i had to teach myself how to hack. pretty, fun.
23Thespian
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset everyone when I asked to stop talking about "Touching Spirit Bear"
I don't care what we talk about. It alway's manages to turnout interesting.

24G.A.B.E
That is because we are interesting people! I saw your pic of you, Stoe, very nice XD. Go onto my profile and see me, I have dyed hair there so don't scream!!
25Thespian
WOW! What a NICE face you have! And nice eyes too! There is no need to scream. I know people, they are very pretty, but their hair makes them look strange. You don't however.
And WE ARE INTERESTING PEOPLE!
And WE ARE INTERESTING PEOPLE!
26cornpuff12
i know that we are interesting people. hehe. stoe, did u see the pic of my eyes? i will put it back on if u didn't.
27G.A.B.E
Lol, thank you, Stoe! We are very interesting people, both personality-wise and look-wise! XD
28cornpuff12
what do u mean by look-wise?
30cornpuff12
what?
31G.A.B.E
I think I said, "We are very interesting people, both personality-wise and look-wise" I meant by personality-wise = we have all different and assorted characteristics. I meant by look-wise = we all look interesting, we don't have that "classical, timeless beauty". We are special, in short.
32cornpuff12
ooooh! yeah. we are the best. the best of the best. the best of the best of the best. and of course, the best of the best of the best of the best of the best . . . and u know where i am heading with this.
33cornpuff12
ooooh! yeah. we are the best. the best of the best. the best of the best of the best. and of course, the best of the best of the best of the best of the best . . . and u know where i am heading with this.
35cornpuff12
oh, yeah! uh-huh! boo-yah! we rock!!!!!
36Thespian

48G.A.B.E
Um, the link half-worked, it went to that virtual makeover thing but only to like the home page, not to my make over!! I really wanna see it!!
49cornpuff12
argh!!!! stoe saw it, so i thought it would work. he said u looked good.
50G.A.B.E
Oh, thanks Stoe :) but yes, it didn't work, I tried it twice! Try the link thingy again, somehow.
51cornpuff12
i put it on my profile for u to look at .
52cornpuff12
so, do u like it?
54G.A.B.E
Ooh, yeah, I saw it, Myra. I look kind of older and I have some colour in my cheeks! It's pretty good, just enough make up to look natural, well, I might try that look out sometimes but I think not that much mascara, my mum would have a fit! And my eyes look so green! That plum really compliments my eyes!
57cornpuff12
awww, but i liked nicky!!!
58G.A.B.E
You can call me either! I like both of them but Cullen makes me feel like a real Cullen family member!
60G.A.B.E
I'm not Myra but I'm certainly happy!
People call me a Cullen Obsesser behind my back. One day, I heard a couple of girls call me that. But I turned around and said, "That's Miss Cullen Obsesser to you."
Lol. Random much ~`?

61Thespian
That's kind of funny though. And I was talking to Myra asking if she was happy because she was not happy that I was going to change your name!
Miss Nicky Cullen. What a cool name.
Miss Nicky Cullen. What a cool name.
64G.A.B.E
I will, Mr. Stoe. Gosh, I have to marry someone with the last name Cullen so that can be my real name. I have to marry Mr. Blah Cullen! I have to!
65cornpuff12
hahahhaa .
68cornpuff12
yay! super sam is here! have no fear, supersam is here!!!!
71G.A.B.E
Supersam is a girl and my secret sibling .. marrying her would be wrong!! XD Supersam doesn't have a last name, she is just Supersam =D
73G.A.B.E
Yep. I'm still waiting for Mr. Blah Cullen and I'll find him one day! My perfect Edward ..
75cornpuff12
ewwww, aphrodite was mean. she left all these other husbands she had secretly been married to for one dood, and then he dies, and then she promised to mourn for the rest of her life, and then she falls in love with another dood.
77cornpuff12
hahahahahhahahahahhaa
78G.A.B.E
I won't get any ideas *Cullen swear* I'm just hanging until I find my perfect Edward. That's allowed, right? XD
79Thespian
Aphrodite didn't do that. She was the Greek and Roman goddess of love. She was married to Hephaestus, who was the ugliest god on Mount Olympus, and she had an affair with Ares, the god of war, and was one of the causes of the Trojan War.
Sorry, I'm a Greek mythology nerd. Hope I didn't show off.
Sorry, I'm a Greek mythology nerd. Hope I didn't show off.
80G.A.B.E
No, the reason of the Trojan War was because Paris of Troy took Helen, the king's brother's wife as his own! And the king took that as an excuse to attack Troy because he wanted their wealth! Sorry, I like Greek mythology as well =D
82G.A.B.E
LOL! I know that I am crazy! We had to study Greek mythology for History for semester one.
83supersam
I wish we were studying something interesting like that. No offense, but the civil war isin't that exiting.
84G.A.B.E
Next year we have to study Australian History .. that is soo boring my brain will likely be oozing out of my ears! I am dead serious, Australian History is the most boring thing I've ever done but next year it will be even worse since it will be more in "depth"!
86Thespian
No but, Paris gave Aphrodite the golden apple in exchange for the most beautiful woman in the world as a wife. Sadly, she was already taken, and she was abducted.
And yes, I guess the guy used it as an excuse to get the wealth as well.
P.S.
I think it would be more interesting to read about Australian history, rather than American History. I HATE IT!

I'm following Homer's version of the Troy War~~~!!

88cornpuff12
i have absolutely no idea what all you people are talking about.
90Thespian
I like Ancient History. Like Ancient Rome, and Ancient Egypt. Stuff like that. I just don't like reading what happened during the 1500-1800's so much.
91G.A.B.E
OMG! Me too! I like, know everything there is to know about Ancient Egypt, I mean, I've studied it for three years in a row, after three years, you know stuff =D
94cornpuff12
wow. we dont have fancy new-fangled classes at our school.
95G.A.B.E
Maybe it's different in Australia && America. Plus, I go to a private school, maybe the curiculum is different from public schools (also, I don't know if you go to a private or public school, Myra).
96Thespian
Oooh a privet school! Good for you Nicky. And I do go to a public school too. But I think regions around the world, they teach different things. Like I heard schools in America are good, but we students take it for granted or something.
97felymonster
I GO TO PUBLIC SCHOOL TO. IT IS AWSOME LIKE AUSSIE!!!
98G.A.B.E
In Australia, most public schools are like bad. Like the people that go to them are like gangstas and sell drugs and stuff. My parents hate public schools. There's only a few "good" ones. And the kids that go to public schools absolutely HATE private school kids. There's this one public high school near where I live and last year, there had like five problems about it on the TV, stabbings, drugs, fights .. just not a nice place.
99felymonster
YOU NEED TO READ THE BOOK THE YEAR OF SECRET ASSIGNMENTS! IT IS ABOUT A PUBLIC AND PRIVTE SCHOOL IN AUSSIE! AND ITS EXACTLY LIKE YOU DESCRIBED IT! ME AND ALICE READ IT!
100ibetonalice2
Up there ^^
Stoe is right about Aphrodite being one of the reasons for
the start of the Trojan War.
Zues gave Paris the golden apple and told him to give it to either Hera or Aphrodite and he gave it to Aphrodite because she promised him the most beautiful women in the world. That is how Paris and Helen "fell in love" it was because Aphrodite made it happen.
Stoe and Nicky since you like Greek Mythology
you should read Percy Jackson and the Olympians they are GREAT!
And also Troy and Ithaca by Adele Geras.
Very, very good.

i like greek mothalagy but not that much
102G.A.B.E
Message 100: But my teacher said that it was b/c Paris of Troy fell in love with Helen and they ran away together and Helen's husband and her brother took that as an excuse to attack Troy (the real reason is just being that Troy was a wealthy city and their walls offended them). And it's got Hercules in there as well. Here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_War
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliad
So there are two versions of the war.

103G.A.B.E
Yeah, so if you're ever gonna live in Australia, go to a private school, lol. It's more expensive but wayyy better education. At my school, Asian people are "popular" cos they've got other connections and stuff still but I'm friends with them. If you go to my school and if the Asians hate you. You are like a social outcast.
104ibetonalice2
The reason that Paris of Troy fell in love with Helen is because
of the whole thing with the apple.
That's a funny story about Asians lol.
of the whole thing with the apple.
That's a funny story about Asians lol.
105G.A.B.E
It's a true story. They rule like most of the schools. It's better to be friends with them - you have no idea what they can do to people they hate.
106ibetonalice2
Well they sound evil to me.
I would rather not be friends
with people who are mean.

That series is soooo good.
Have you read Percy Jackson
and the Olympians, Stoe?

114Thespian
No, I read stuff about the Olympians. It was interesting. The only thing I thought strange about the greek mythology is that they were all kind of incestual; that kind of grossed me out. And I thought some of the gods had issues. Like the god Apollo!
But I can always read The Olympians. Is it a series?

I NEED TO READ A MILLION BOOKS BUT AGAIN NO TIME.
116G.A.B.E
Message 114: Tell me about it. And it said that Hercules had "male lovers" I nearly gagged. That'll turn you off him, Fely.
117felymonster
WHAT?! MY NICHT AND SHINEING ARMOR GAY!
118ibetonalice2
Stoe,
Percy Jackson and The Olympians is a series.
Lightning Thief
Sea of Monsters
The Titan's Curse
The Battle of the Labyrinth
Those are the four books in the series so far.
They're amazing!

119Thespian
Hercules also had anger issues! He apparently killed his family.
And I think I said this before.
Back then in Ancient Greece, it was ok for men to be gay, it was the highest form of friendship between men! For women I think it was different!

ugh i am sooooooooooooo dumping him! i will go after someone else as long as i can find him.
121G.A.B.E
Yep, he had male lovers and it was pretty gross. I read it and I was like WHAT? NOT HERCULES! b/c I liked him in Troy that movie with Brad Pitt.
Here, Fely:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracles#Heracles.27_male_lovers
That's about Hercule's male lovers. Ick.

128felymonster
he he
130felymonster
huh
131G.A.B.E
Yes he was. But he was called "Achilles" which is Hercules, one's Roman, one's Greek .. same perrrrrson basically :)
132ibetonalice2
I didn't know that.
133G.A.B.E
:) We learn something knew everyday. The Romans took the Greek Gods and just basically changed their names a bit and fiddled around with the stories.
134felymonster
HE HE
136ibetonalice2
HA HA!
137Thespian
Not exactly. Hercules is a mythological character. Achilles was a completely different person.
138ibetonalice2
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!
Lol.
Lol.
139G.A.B.E
???? We studied the differences between Greek and Roman mythology and there weren't many. That's because Romans took the Greek's stories and just tweaked them a bit. But yes, Achilles was an actual person but depending where you are in the world, both Hercules and Achilles are a mythological figure. Phew :)
146G.A.B.E
Definitely. And it takes less muscles to smile, so you won't get that many wrinkles than if you frowned all the time! Unless, you could have a poker face 24/7 ..
147felymonster
smile.
149angelinedwardseyes
ma ma ma ma . Chi is so cute when she sings pokerface. cherry cherry boom boom.
150G.A.B.E
148: I disagree. Just Dance and Pokerface sound similar because they used the same beat, they just increased the tempo for Pokerface. Her two other songs, Starstruck and Eh Eh sound really different and are really good.
149: That's my fav part of the songs. Cherry cherry, boom boom .. Gaga. :) I haven't heard Chi sing before ;)

153Thespian
I've only heard of two of the songs she sang: Pokerface, and Just Dance. I'm going to look up those two songs see if they sound different.
154felymonster
NAH THEY SOUND DIFFRENT. LOL
155G.A.B.E
153: Yeah, that's why she sounds the same to you. Just Dance and Pokerface use the same haunting beats, just that Pokerface is slowed down a bit. Eh Eh sounds COMPLETELY different. It's like the complete opposite from Just Dance and Pokerface :)
156ibetonalice2
I love Pokerface :)
157felymonster
i love paper gangsta:)
158G.A.B.E
I LOVED Starstruck but I'm over it now :) I want to go to her concert, though.
I love Action by Flo Rida ft. Pleasure P, Halo by Beyonce and Boom Boom Pow by The Black Eyed Peas is SUPER catchy (it's a new one).

mssg 131: no the roman hercules is heracles. yes smiling is better than frowning. stoe when do u useually get on meebo? if i knew then i could try to get on at the same time as you and then we could talk more!
162Thespian
I don't go on meebo that much anymore. I usually go on AIM, and facebook like ALL the time. That's where you will usually find me. hahaah
163felymonster
u can talk to ppl on meebo with an aim u know that right?
164Thespian
Yeah I did, I just forget to go on. Not to mention that I forgot my username and password. :/
165G.A.B.E
Yeah, I thought you guys had songs before us but I always name songs and you never know them. :) But I get songs like before they are even released and when I'm over them and had like 5000000 favourite songs since then, they start to play on the radio, LOL. :)
167cornpuff12
howd u know that stoe? u ever been to italy or what? and whats the point of even doing that? its not like they can understand us or anything . . .
168Thespian
Yes I have. I've been to Italy many times. And I'm going again next year. And they don't understand that lyrics that much. But Italians have a facination for America. And when they listen to music, they don't edit the songs. So you listen to unedited songs with the worst language. It was so awkward when I would listen to the music with my dad. I'm chuckling when I'm thinking about the awkwardness.
