The poverty rate in China

What should we talk about now? I decided we needed a new post, but I can't think of anything to talk about! Their's always the poverty rate in China... but that gets old after a while. Um... what is everybody's favorite food? There is a lame attempt at starting a conversation...

umm, who are you? Em, do you know this person?

emily said...

Yes I do. Everyone, meet Lil Red, a very sweet, godly girl that goes to my co-op. Lil Red, meet Vanima, my best friend, elfgirloflorian, my sisters best friend, Eowyn, my cousin, spanielover, my sister, Alethia, a friend from school last year, and me, Ribbons. Thanks for posting! Somalia? I've never even heard of that! Have you been their? I'm going to go check out your blog now.

quenta tindomerel said...

Oh, co-op! Hi, I go to the Thursday co-op! are you in rhetoric? I am. Em, did you tell her about the rhetoric blog?
Ribbons, aren't I your friend too? *sniffs*
jk.

Vanimae said...

Welcome to our little group of only mostly insane people. (mostly insane is slightly sane!!!) (with the exceptions of Ribbons who seems to think she's all sane)
Ribbons, where are you??? no e-mails for poor Vanima... *sob*

quenta tindomerel said...

Vanima, you went completely insane. And so am I. The rest are just partly insane. Vanima, what happened to the dozen emails I sent you?

emily said...

I make no claims to being fully sane, but it is my life mission to be so. Kinda weird... most people have life missions to do something great and out-of-the ordinary, but my mission is to become normal. All I want is to grow up, get married, and live a Samwise Gamgee sort of life. And maybe I'll write a book some day. Sigh... doesn't it every bother all you guys being so different? I wish their were more people like us... it really is much funner.

quenta tindomerel said...

No, it usually doesn't. Everybody's a little odd in one way or the other, and maybe they are a little better at concealing it then me. oh well. You really have to live with what you've got, right? don't spend the whole time suppressing any things that are termed "odd"(such as dancing on tables) because you want to look cool! *sighs* except everyone else seems to think the exact opposite of what I think.
Samwise Gamgee wasn't normal. saving the world wasn't normal. Now, Samwise Gamgee's chosen life...would have been very normal.

Vanimae said...

I've just got to figure out what my thing is... I'm not exactly a table dancer (though I admit I'd join Legolas or Pippin if they were table dancing. I think it would be fun) I'm a girl so I should be somewhat pretty and cute... bah... life is so confusing. Hey! I know... I'll just be a mad scientist... :P
Hey, that reminds me! You know what the advantage to majoring in Chemistry is??? When I get my degree I become a Dr. :) isn't that great!!!!!!!
It's so funny in Treasure Planet when Dilbert is like "I'm a doctor but I'm not a doctor docter... I can't help people when they're sick!" (I know, insanely messed up quote... but eh, sue me, school started)

Ribbons, I don't think most people are out to do something great... but hey, think whatever you like.
And... why do you want to be normal? You've never accepted yourself as an abstract, have you... I think I'm getting there... it's just taking a lot of time.
Why is the whole world so against abstracts??? Man... this is kinda a love/hate thing... I love and hate being an abstract...
Well, I've got homework... (what else is new???)

Vanimae said...

um, hi.
do you actually know pippin and sam? what are your names??? you must live close. and legolas to? my favrite food is mushrooms.
what is chemitry?

emily said...

Hey, look! Frodo's posting now! (blue eyes... ha ha ha... okay sorry...) I made a fake blog once on my computer that has no internet and I pretended that all of the LOTR Characters had a blog, and Frodo's blogger name was Blue Eyes.

emily said...

Eowyn, there has never been such a thing as a normal Mc. Cormic. Sorry. :-)

quenta tindomerel said...

Cute picture on your profile Blue Eyes! Who are you now? everybody's new! and no, we don't know pippin, Sam, Aragorn, or Legolas. those are our (nick)names. I'm Legolas. *bows*. or Elfgirloflorien. Or Lego.
Okay Vanima! come dance with me! *jumps up on desk*
Lil red, if you're going to end up blogging with us, you have to be at least half insane, otherwise you'll go mad from all our insanity.
Eowyn, you are not normal. Sorry.

Vanimae said...

Hey... it IS Frodo... nice to meet you Frodo. So, tell me, how hot was mount doom???
*puts her arm around Eowyn* honey, I'm sorry, but you're not normal. It's ok, but you're not. If you want to think you are that's ok to... but to be honest... *wispers* no one is normal.

Mc. Cormic????? *is really confused* *jumps up on desk anyways* *dances* hehehe!
And Legolas... I AM Aragorn... I don't know what you're talking about... yeah, I have lots of nicknames... but that doesn't make me not Aragorn.
Man, lots going on here...
Chemistry is... erm... I should know this... it's like studing chemical equations... how things combine and fall apart... things like atoms and molocules and that kind of stuff...
2 new peoples in the space of a couple days... interesting... gotta go, Chem lab in 10 minutes..

quenta tindomerel said...

oh yes. *coughs* those are our names. My name is Legolas. How do you do. this is my friend Aragorn. also called Vanima.

(Vanima, if I had said those were our names, lil red would have been very confused. And Emwise would have taken offense. okay? You know you're Aragorn. I know I'm Legolas Puppy Dog. you don't need to get mad at me. now can I please have a skittle?)

Vanimae said...

Hm... I guess you can have a skittle... I know you just didn't want to make Ribbonwise mad.

Vanimae said...

can i have a skittle? puh-lease?

Vanimae said...

Um... no. Well... no... the skittles are for Legolas... but... you can have an M and M...

Vanimae said...

awe ok...

quenta tindomerel said...

STAY OUT OF MY SKITTLES!!!!!!*screams* LEAVE THEM ALONE! *stands in front of her master Vanima, shaking a glowing vial at the evil monster with blue eyes who has come to get skittles* GO AWAY!!!!! *screams* *pants* *sits down, knowing that Vanima master will just tell her 'Havo dad' anyway*

Vanimae said...

i'm sorry! i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry! i didn't no! i'm sorry! please forgive me i didn't no! (runs away)

Vanimae said...

Legolas, *says elvish for "chill out"* *pats on head* it's ok, really it is... I won't give Frodo your skittles... don't panic...
ok? see, everything is ok now...

quenta tindomerel said...

*sighs* see, I sat down. everything's fine now. just don't give anyone else my skittles.
hehe, Blue eyes, you can come back now, it's okay. it's just.....the skittles are only for me.

Okay, now, Vanima, you need some elvish, as you've tried to say "chill out" at least three times. *goes to pop up the handy elvish dictionary*
here you go: Ringa et. or wait, which sounds better, that or Ringallo. it means the same thing.

Vanimae said...

So like are the 2 lls said as ls or as a y sound like in Spanish???

emily said...

It's interesting how back in the olden days when I wrote this post the main point of blogs was (in my mind) comments. And most of the time comments didn't have to have anything to do with the posts, they were just like public group emails. :-?

I like it better now.
