Social Chatting June 2016

Tries to remember..Washington Monument, Reflection Pool, Lincoln Memorial, White House, Supreme Court, a couple museums, and some other stuff I don't remember since that was 7 year ago lol. Wbu?
K
I don't remember everything either, 'cause I've been to DC three times since and I get the trips confused. We didn't really do museums in '09… we walked around to a lot of monuments and war memorials. Oh, and we went to Arlington National Cemetery. That was really, really impressive in a humbling sort of way.
ZachB
I can imagine it was! I haven't been there though. I've only been to DC once.
K
Ah, okay. Well, you can't really see everything in one trip. xD What was your favorite location for Nats?
ZachB
Well Texas is just awesome, and it was the best year yet, so probably last year, except that Tennessee had the best scenery in my opinion. Wbu?
K
I thought Sevierville had the best scenery too, but you're right, Texas is a pretty cool state. xD I hardly got to do any sightseeing at Nats last year, though, because I was always talking to people. :D
ZachB
The only sightseeing we did was to go see the Alamo with the you-know-whos after nats was over. But the Alamo isn't much to see, and it was cold and windy and unpleasant. And after all, even scenery can't compete with talking to Bible Bee friends! ;D
K
Aw, that's kinda too bad. We did go to the Alamo, and part of the river walk, but it was dark. :P I loved seeing the Alamo though- I love history! But yeah, once you haven't seen your friends for a year… you just talk for a long time. xD
ZachB
Or when it's been 4 years. ;D
K
Oh, wow, yeah, 4 years is way worse. :P
ZachB
Yes, at the other hotel when we were together before nationals and supposed to be reviewing verse we spent most of the time talking. After all, how can friends not see each other for 4 years and not talk? Ah..I'm going to miss Bible Bee when its over. :p
K
Haha, I usually shut myself up the evening of registration to study… then I talk to people after prelims. xD Except in 2013 I hardly talked to anyone at all until the last day. xP You better enjoy BB now, because it always ends way too soon! ;)
ZachB
Well considering we came down two days early to see them we couldn't very well lock ourselves up in our respective hotel rooms and ignore each other until after the competition, lol! We made sure we got a bunch of extra studying in before arriving in preparation for the inevitable.
You'd better be sure I'm enjoying it! If only it could last forever though lol!
K
Oh, well, I guess that wouldn't really work then. xD
Have you gone back down for the GS? (Sorry if I'm not supposed to ask that… :P Don't answer if you're not supposed to say. xP)
K
What I really mean to say is did you go down for the last GS… but maybe you're not supposed to answer… :P
ZachB
Yea, probably not. ;)
The GS has been filmed, but it hasn't aired yet.
K
Oh, okay. I haven't been paying attention.
ZachB
We haven't gotten much information at all since we got back from filming.
K
I see. BB hasn't been very good at giving out info in a while… xP
K
And I need to go. Bye Zach! :)

Did you guys really get 20 more pages today, on a Sunday? Wow!
Sarah
I know, right? Last month we had to challenge ourselves to reach sixty pages, and we were still technically one post short, but now it's five days into June and we're already over sixty!
Matthew Minica
I'm pretty sure Marija getting back on had a lot to do with it. Thanks, Marija! xD
Gloria
aaand… last post xP
2 Corinthians 5:17
Good morning, Memverse world! May you be blessed with an abundant of pages today! x)
ZachB
joins the eerily empty SC room xD
Cory(being a fool is not cool, but God is a precious redeeming jewel)
Are you calling me creepy?? xP
BTW, did you get your issue resolved last night? :)
ZachB
Stop twisting my words! xP lol
Yes, I did. :)
Cory(being a fool is not cool, but God is a precious redeeming jewel)
Stop twisting my words! xP lol Yes, I did. :)
Sorry for taking so long to respond, I got kicked off the computer haha
That's great! I was praying for you :D
ZachB
Hehe I know what that's like. :P
Thanks! :)
Cory(being a fool is not cool, but God is a precious redeeming jewel)
;) So what are you studying now?
Haha, the forums have been kind of dead today since Marija's not here xP
ZachB
Putting the DJ on Quizlet. Got the first week done on that, plus got all the locals passages memorized now except for 1, and got 17 verses in John 13 memorized today. Wbu?
Or Matthew. Or Rachel. Or Katrina. Or Emily. Or a whole bunch of people! ;)
Cory(being a fool is not cool, but God is a precious redeeming jewel)
You had to bring that up, didn't you? xD I'm still trying to catch up to Everett and Emily on ST :P That's great! I have up to 13:35 memorized now :D
Haha! I'll just have to tie them to the piano when they come back lol
Cory(being a fool is not cool, but God is a precious redeeming jewel)
Gtg for a dentist appointment :/
Happy studying! ;)
ZachB
Lol we're not allowed to post the DJ publicly. But you could always make a set on it yourself! ;)
I made verse cards for John 13-15, dividing the chapters up into 8 passages. I started today and my goal is to memorize 1 passage per day, so I (hopefully!) should have it all memorized in 8 days.
You'd tie your friends to a piano? Oh yea, I'll have to warn then, xD
EDIT: Bye Cory! shakes hand
Mommy's Helper
Anyone?
K
Hey, I'm pretty sure tying me to the piano would be cruel and unusual punishment, which is unconstitutional under the 8th amendment. At least let me play it!
wants someone to tell me why I'm wrong xP
ZachB
Because Cory isn't the federal government? xP
Hey, sorry about leaving suddenly yesterday night, we had to unplug everything for an outlet rewiring we're doing for a couple new outlets we're adding.
K
Yeah. xD
Oh, it's okay! Thanks for explaining though. ;)
ZachB
Don't give him any ideas. xP jk
K
Ah, don't worry. I still don't think he should tie anyone to the piano, even if he isn't the federal government. :P
ZachB
Yes, it might hurt the piano's feelings. ;P
K
I'm really not concerned about the piano's feelings. I overwork mine and I hit the keys really hard.
ZachB
How uncompassionate of you. :P jk
Pianos have rights, just like desks. xP
K
Ah well… do you play the piano? If you don't, you can't quite understand. You see, pianos may have rights, but pianists have more. xP xP
ZachB
I used to a long time ago. Hm, so kind of like American's have rights, but Trump has more rights? xP xP
Gloria
I'm kinda here… Sorry If i suddenly disappear on you guys.
Hi! lol
K
facedesk Um… lol. xP No, it's different, because the piano isn't a person. xP xP
Oh, hi Gloria!
ZachB
I'm kinda here... Sorry If i suddenly disappear on you guys. Hi! lol
Hey Gloria, how's Greece? :)
ZachB
*facedesk* Um... lol. xP No, it's different, because the piano isn't a person. xP xP
Well neither is a nation. A nation is land made up of people under a government. xP xP
