Pins and needles about Bible Bee?

This is where you can post all your exclamation points and sighs and tears and any other emotions that might drive your family crazy until we find out the National Qualifiers - go ahead and scream - we won't even have to use ear plugs, and we don't mind! :)

Alright everyone, let's start screaming!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that's a good start. :)

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I am going to die of anticipation! How was that? :)

fantastic!!!!!!!!

screams Don't die, Jimmy, or then you won't be able to go to Nationals even if you do qualify!

True….. :)

Yeah. Well, anyways, I knew what you meant - I felt like that all day :D

C'mon, guys, can't you show a little hupomone? Remember studying about that? Huh? :)

Matthew! We aren't being impatient (at least I'm not) I'm just being…excited - that's all :D

I was mostly talking about the way BBJ12 put it when she said "any other emotions that might drive your family crazy until we find out about the National Qualifiers". That sounds like it's referring to impatience to me.

What is this "hupomone" of which you speak?

Or it could be giddy giggling and rushing about in nervous anticipation. My house frequently exhibits this emotion, and I am not immune to its effects. :)

True. Although my house isn't quite like that. :)

it's patient/longsuffering - which is what i'm doing: LLOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG- suffering

@ Matthew Minica: you are so smart.

That is a good way to put it. I AM suffering LONG. :)

hehehe. =D Yeah, Matthew, that's pretty much what Phillip said when we were all impatiently crowding around the computer. :D

Did your local contestants get together to find out? That would have been cool!
BTW: talking about Phillip reminds me: he got 1st in Juniors, didn't he?! Or was it a sibling?

Yep! Most of the contestants went to the pool together! It was really fun! :)
YES!!!!! He ranked first!!!!!!!! =D

Is anyone else impatient for the Senior Finals to start?

YES!!! I wish I was there! :( :(

I know, me too! :'-( :'-( :'-(

They're starting!

YAAYYY!! :D

Haha…."representing the male species" :D

LOL!

That was funny =D

They are so composed!! I'd be soo nervous!

I love watching Finals :D :D

Awwww….poor Anna!! :( :(

Poor? Poor would be being told they decided to only do the top 4 contestants…

I was referring to when she blanked out on her last recitation. :(

@Rachel: Yeah…about that…Nicolas brought up something very interesting about Anna Floyd blanking out on her last passage….I'm not sure whether I'll say it or not ;D

Haha...."representing the male species" :D

I told Ryan afterwards, "Way to show those girls!" :P

@Rachel: Yeah...about that...Nicolas brought up something very interesting about Anna Floyd blanking out on her last passage....I'm not sure whether I'll say it or not ;D

say it…..or email it to me
really wants to know

I didn't see your message till now…what happened?

I hinted that, perhaps… she did it on purpose. It's only a thought, but perhaps she didn't want Rionna Flynn, who looked upset already, to be in fifth place, so she purposely let herself come in fifth. I may very well be wrong, but that would be awesome. :)

I missed all of senior finals…Ryan looked upset about what???

No, no, not Ryan! I said Rionna Flynn. She wasn't doing too well on the questions, and was having trouble maintaining her composure, from how it looked. Then everyone did well on the final verse except for Anna, who suddenly blanked out. I came up with the possibility that she did so purposely to keep Rionna from coming in fifth place.

Ohhhhh facedesk Okay. I should have read it more carefully. Okay.

That would have been so kind and loving of her if that's actually what happened. :)

I wish I could say Nicolas is right, but no, I didn’t mess up on purpose. Hopefully Rionna was comforted getting 4th place instead of 5th, but giving that to her was God’s idea, not mine. :-)

Welcome to Memverse, Anna! :) You did very well in the Bible Bee…although I wasn't able to be at Nationals this year, I enjoyed watching you online! :)
Edit: BTW, you probably don't remember this, but I briefly met you at 2012 Nationals. :) I was congratulating you on your achievement of finals :)

Welcome? She's been stalking us for two years! :-P
Anna, I have to agree with Rachel: You did really well! It was such a blessing to watch you proclaiming God's Word!

jaw drop Since when are you on Memverse?! I'm not sure now whether I'm glad or really embarrassed that I said anything. :P

Since November 17, 2011. :-P

Haha!!! I'm sure Anna doesn't mind :-)
Anna..your brother told me he was not getting approved for the forums. Is he still not approved? What is his username?

Thank you all so much for your kind and encouraging words.
Nicolas, I’m sorry if I embarrassed you; I certainly don’t mind anything you said. Ever since Rosie first mentioned that you said something interesting about me, I was as curious as everyone else what it might be. :)
It’s true that I created a Memverse account over two years ago, but most people wouldn’t know because I hardly ever post on the forums. I have participated in some of the live quizzes and taken the Bible Bee practice tests.
Carissa, like I said yesterday, my brother is approved for the forums, but he doesn’t post much either.
Happy new year to all! :)
