Odd thoughts XD

Ever heard of Dungeons and Caldrons? You might want to reconsider.

shudders

Completely different thing, dude.

What would the White House look like if I lived in it? I Emily or I Dani?

what if memverse was full of sane people? it would be really sad because then obviously we wouldn't be homeschoolers

wouldn’t it be strange if we were to met in real life and lick our chops at each other like we do here and in the Chat room? :P hehe, I thought about that before too :P That would be creepy :P :P

Have you ever thought about how similar "Isengard" and "Asgard" sound? :P Uhh…no, can't say as I have :P

Would you like you if you met you? Oh dear NO!!!! That would be terrible.

I wonder if Sam and Nicolas have a traditional battle after church every Sunday over what they discussed on Memverse that week. idk…probably not:P

What would you do if all Memversers were locked up together in a room? find a way to get out *I may write more for this one tomorrow:P*

I wonder why Noah and Sam don't post here more often, since they have such a lot of odd thoughts in other parts of the forums? good question

If you were born on leap year would they let you do the Bible Bee till your “19th BIRTHDAY”? Hehe, that would be really cool:P

What would the White House look like if I lived in it? _I Emily or I Dani?_

I Emily or Dani, whichever you prefer :)

Did you see my comment on the Dreams forum? :-)

Getting there!

Alright! I had a dream about you a couple of nights ago, so I thought you might want to read it. :-)

Okay. For you Dani, you'd have horses and goats all around and the inside would be really nice and clean, and you'd have all sorts of instruments inside and you'd know how to play them all really well. And you'd have ever bird ever known to man (and the ones not known too) brought so you could see them. And you'd learn felting and knitting and crocheting and everything like that and you'd have the whole place decorated with beautiful stuff that you made. In short, it would no longer look like the white house, but a big, beautiful farm house. The End.

:P :P

What would you do if all Memversers were locked up together in a room? _find a way to get out *I may write more for this one tomorrow:P*_

'kayo, here goes. I would say, "My dear fellow Memversers, I must aquatint you with the most tedious situation in which we have been placed. We have been locked up together by an unknown foe, and our computers taken away so we have no means of communication with each other, or the outside world (cuz we don't know how to talk, we only know how to write). This is indeed a great tragedy. I now implore each and everyone of you, leave off this hiding in corners, hugging, and talking (cuz we don't know how to do that ^how I'd be saying this then, I know not, but I don't need to bring that up^). I beseech you from the depth of my soul to set about finding a remedy to this predicament in which we have been entrapped. We must escape from this prison and lead a charge against the captors of our computers and other electronic devices so we may continue our facedesking, cyberhugging, loling, poofing, poping, chirping, and so on, in a proper, orderly, homeschooled manner.
Thank you for your attention. Are there any questions?"

facepalm

Here's another odd thought: _Would you like you if you met you?_

What do you mean, that's what mirrors are for!!!!!

LOL!! * Like *

:P :P :)

haha! lol

LOL!

rolls on the floor, laughing out loud that was awesome!

Seriously though! I carry on conversations with myself all the time :P lol

Seriously though! I carry on conversations with myself all the time :P lol

I do that in my head. Sometimes we disagree.

Same! lol then I realize I'm arguing with myself and start laughing.

Hey, I can totally relate! Except, I don't talk to myself in front of a mirror, I walk around my room, talking out loud - seriously! I embarress myself sometimes :P
I argue with myself quite a bit too. ;-)

^24^ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. ^25^ And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. ^26^ And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.

I talk to myself quite a lot, but we never argue. (Eithon ethrebith.) Most of the time we cannot stand anyway, though. :D

We disagree a lot, but with the counseling you got us, we're doing great, aren't we?

Righto

Here's an odd thought:
People say work comes before pleasure. What if you take pleasure in your work? Does your work become pleasure, or does your pleasure become work? And which comes first? :)

Neither. They cancel out in an explosion of negative energy, destroying you along with your work.

Well I'm not cripple yet soo… lol jk!!!!!! jk!! jk!!!!

Odd thought: Would anyone care if I posted something here that I can't post on the "Stories we have written" topic due to our Internet filter?

Go ahead!

Great! Be right back. Goes and finds file

This is something I wrote about one or two months ago…but honestly, it wasn't supposed to be anything in the first place. It was just random scribbles - and technically still is. SBG really thinks I should finish it, but…I'm not a writer. But I want everyone else's thoughts before I decide if I will or not. We shall see.
I did give it a chapter name just for the sake of, well, I'm not sure, but whatever. :P [Oh, and this is not the whole chapter, this is only the first part]

So anyway, here it is:

Chapter One ~
A Narrow Escape

Her eyes opened quickly in alarm. Something had awakened her. Then she heard it again, this time hearing a host of other noises as well. Desperate screams, clanging swords, flying arrows.

All of a sudden, her door flew open. She jumped out of bed, nearly falling to the ground. She then sighed with relief, though only slightly. It was her mother.

“What is going on?” she cried. “Are we being attacked?”

“Yes,” her mother quickly replied, rummaging through her wardrobe. “The Dvorians have invaded the harbor,” she explained, “and are plundering and destroying homes, stores, farms – everything.” She turned toward Eryana with clothes draped over her arm. “They will be here soon; you must leave straight away,” she said, handing her the garments. “Moriak is saddling your horse.” But Eryana resisted, saying, “No, I will not leave these people to suffer and perish! I will stay and fight!”

“The Dvorians are strong and fierce warriors, Eryana, much stronger than you; you would surely be killed.”

“What about you? Am I to leave you to die yourself?” “Do not worry about me. Your father saw it safer for me to escape on a…different route than you,” her mother said carefully. “You must get changed – quickly now!” Eryana rushed to change her clothes.

As she dressed, her mother hurriedly packed a shoulder bag. “I’m packing a map in this bag for where you are to go after you get out of the castle,” she explained. “Stick to the map, it will guide you to someone who will know what to do. He will help you and protect you.”

Eryana then appeared from behind the divider. She wore a plain, dull blue dress that hung slightly above the floor. The upper arms of the dress each had a silver band around them, and the sleeves were wide and open, with tight sleeves reaching to the wrist beneath them. Her mother braided her hair down to her neck, and then pulled it and the rest of her hair back.

As Eryana went to get the shoulder bag, her mother went over to a trunk in a corner of the room. The trunk was made of fine oak wood, and had intricate carving on the outside. She opened its lid, and carefully lifted what was inside. It was a bow, made of smooth, ivory wood, with small carving along it. She also lifted out a quiver of arrows – sharp and well-made, arrows which had never been used.
She turned, and brought them to Eryana. Eryana took them carefully. “They’re beautiful,” she said slowly, looking them over, “but, Mo-”
“Eryana,” her mother said quickly, cutting off her daughter’s words, and placing a hand on her shoulder, “there is something I must tell you.”

She sighed. The king – Eryana’s father – was not planning on telling her yet, but neither was he expecting to be invaded by the Dvorians. At least, not at such an unexpected moment. She looked deeply into Eryana’s eyes and then spoke. “The Dvorians are after you; that is why they have invaded. And that is also why you and I must go separate ways to escape. You see, when you were bor-” She stopped midsentence. She cautiously looked out the window; they both heard men yelling outside the castle gates from the window. They were here.

The next moment they could hear the clanging of swords – the guards were attempting to stop the ferocious warriors from entering the castle. “Thank you, God,” Eryana’s mother thought, “perhaps this will buy us time. I need to get Eryana out of here.”

She turned back to Eryana. “No time to explain now. You must go! The guards won’t be able to hold all of those warriors for long. Take the bow and arrows, and use them as you have been trained, use them wisely. Use them to protect yourself, and others as needed. But most of all, my daughter,” Eryana gave her mother her fullest attention at that, “trust God with all of your heart, and lean not upon your own understanding. No, but in all of your ways, acknowledge Him, and truly, He will make your paths straight. He is your ultimate Protection.”

“I will, Mother,” she replied.

The wise queen smiled, then went to get her daughter’s cloak. She placed it on Eryana’s shoulders, then turning her, she also placed a necklace around her neck, and hid it under the neckline of Eryana’s dress. “That you may always remember me, no matter what happens.”
Those words, although comforting, filled Eryana with sorrow, as she realized, that she might never see her mother again on this earth. Her thoughts flooded with fears and ‘what ifs’. She knew she ought to trust the Lord, instead of worrying and dwelling upon fears, but, what if…

It was only when her ears reminded her of the battle raging outside the castle walls, that she looked up to see her mother standing at the door waiting for her. “Come, dear,” she said softly, “time is short. We must go.” Eryana lifted the strap of the bag over her head; and putting the bow in the quiver, she lifted that over her head as well. Then lifting her skirts, she ran to catch up with her mother, who was already making her way down the hallway.

[Now, I must comment on something quickly. The name Eryana came from my creation of this, not the RP.]

What if there is a recycling bin for all deleted post? :P Wouldn’t that be horrible?

I have that on a file already, so it wouldn't be a loss in this case. :P But I know what you mean.

I like it! Nicolas is right! You should finish it! :)

It is very good! You should construct a language (or several) for it!
I need to leave…

Yes!!! Finish it! This is so beautiful, Rosie - God has given you a talent for writing - use it!

Thanks you guys! The main obstacle is that I would have to write the freestyle plot to my story so that it is all organized, and so that I know what is coming next as I'm writing. Problem is: It wasn't supposed to be a story in the first place, so I don't know how I want the story to go. Making the whole process a lot harder to start…but I will try. :) Thanks for the encouragement - it really means a lot.

@InSoloChristo: Haha, yeah right. This isn't The Story That Never Ends. Nor will I be going into a ton of detail on that type of stuff along the way. Plus, I do not know how to contruct a language. :)

W.O.W. Rosie. That was great! I really enjoyed reading it, and it was so suspenseful that I want to know what happens! What was the mother going to say? Why do they want her? Ahhh! You have to finish it!! Great job! You didn't tell me that you could write so well… ;D

Thanks, Bethany. =) Notice what I wrote before I posted the story though…I haven't ever told you I could write well because the last way I would descirbe myself is as a writer. I have never liked writing, have never been good at it (other than research reports, acrostic poems, haikus…), and as I said - this started out as random scribbles. I even named the file that it is on "Scribbles". :)

You all have really made me consider finishing it…ahh! But how difficult it will be! Oh, well, I did commit to doing hard things this year - maybe this is one of them. :)

No, I suppose it's not The Story That Never Ends. Nor is it the Lord of the Rings, if that bears any weight. And I didn't know how to make a language either, when I started a few years ago.
I'm really not trying to convince you, just saying things because the linguist in me is so lonely… :P

Have you written any more of the story?

Well, you seem to be doing great at it in just a few years - the language for Alavaria is amazing so far! :)

No, I haven't written anymore yet. I wrote that over a month ago, and have only edited parts of it along the way. Nicolas told me that I should freestyle it and then work on the plot before I get too far - he said it makes it so much easier, so I'm taking his advice (or rather, Martin's advice on writing that Nicolas read :).

I do have a question for you though. I'm going to need a bunch of names for males, females, countries, cities, mountains, seas/lakes, and such for the book. From what I've seen, you are really good at creating things like that. And I was wondering if you might like to do that…it would help a lot if I could have a good amount of names before I "officially" start/or keep writing. I know you're busy with the language for Alavaria, so I'd completely understand if you couldn't. But…if you can, that would be great! ;)

Alavarian isn't the only one I'm working on. But really, I have plenty of time. I would like that job, very much! But are there any things you would like to be characteristic of different types of names? (A basic example would be -o is a masculine ending, -a is a feminine ending.)

Thank you so much - that takes a bit of a weight off my shoulders, I must admit, because I didn't think I would be able to create so many names.

No, not really. I just usually try to stay away from using names that others have created or come up with (example: Landon [male] or Keanna [female]). I also try to be fairly unique. For example, I took the name Arianna, and changed both spelling and pronunciation, making Eryana. Does that make sense?

Keep writing, and once you have more finished, let me read it :) I really like it!! And I really like the name of the main character – so pretty =)

We'll see…I'm thinking about just letting everyone on here see the first chapter once it's done, and then make you all wait until the whole thing is done. I know, that would be cruel. :P
Yes, I really like it too, which is why I decided to have her as my main character. :)

Well, then, write it quick!! =)I really like writing fiction, but I can't ever think of good plots, or beginnings, like this one is!! Keep up the good work!

And, I like how it is spelled differently than the other version of the name…much prettier, I think.

Okay, that makes sense. Here are some, which, as far as I know, are unique:
Masculine:
Kalväorn
Selinag
Glaenius
Vorlen
Ormalad
Feminine:
Niareth
Esarëa
Viriel
Rilnae
Gilanyes

Do you like them? (The dots over the 'a' and 'e' aren't necessary, they just show that the vowels are pronounced separately.) I'm going to leave in just a moment, but I'll probably think of some more throughout the day. Perhaps I shall post those tomorrow.

By the way, maybe it would be a good idea to make a new thread for this story. :)

They're great! And yes, they are quite unique. =) I'll have to write these down…

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, I just wasn't sure about making a whole new thread. May as well. Though, what would I name the topic…

I would like to write it fast, but I have to plot and freestyle it first…which will be the hardest part for me, since I don't even know how I want it to go (since it wasn't supposed to be a book at first).
Yes, the pronunciation of the name is different too. :)

Have to go now.

W.O.W. Rosie. That was great! I really enjoyed reading it, and it was so suspenseful that I want to know what happens! What was the mother going to say? Why do they want her? Ahhh! You have to finish it!! Great job! You didn't tell me that you could write so well... ;D

Odd thought- what if we stuck out our tongues in person as much as we did online …..hmmmmm
