Social Chatting - January 2015!

I need to go now, Guys and Dolls is starting. Bye!

What, the funeral bells? :P

Ah yes, the death toll bells. They also gave me this feeling at the opening ceremony that when I bent my head for Mr. McMahan to put on my medal there was someone behind me getting ready to chop off my head. Not a very pleasant feeling, I can assure you.

Thank you for assuring me, I have long wondered about that very feeling. It has haunted my thoughts for many years, and I am immensely relieved to have it explained so clearly.

Did they have the Death Tolls when you were in the Bible Bee too?

Not that I recall.

You didn't. ;)

I have to leave now. Bye friends! =(

Will someone please tell S that I would very much like to chat with him here sometime?

The funeral bells? :P

When finals starts... and they play those bells... and it sounds like someone died. :P

LOL! I...have never thought of it that way. :P xD

xP xD It always makes me shiver and makes my stomach get in knots. xP

My stomach went in such knots that I was a coward and didn't even go to the semifinals and finals.

Did you go in 2013?

I went to Senior finals, and in 2012 I went to Senior semi-finals, but my knees were knocking together the whole time, and I did have a lovely knot going in my stomach. In 2014 I was avoiding waving my hands in the air via absence.

Oh you poor girl. XD I was always too busy discussing what the answer is with my friends. XD

xD I got to do that this year and it was so much fun. xD But I still got that same sick feeling. :P

For Senior Semi's I sat with the 3 oldest Alexanders, Ian, Rachel Mitton, and Nicole Price. We had SO much fun...Christian had a kindle so he was following along with the contestants and would tell us, if the verse wasn't in one of the versions that we knew it in. ;)

That's so fun!!! xD Remember Junior semis, when you invited us to sit with you, and my parents weren't back…? Well, they didn't end up coming back till like the very last round or something. So I sat with my brother and Emma O (whose mom was with my parents) and we got to follow along on her phone for most of the contestants. It was a lot of fun, and helped me settle down. xP xP

I really liked your family's picture we got today :) First time I've seen what your Grandpa looks like! :)

^oh bother^ Okay. :)

_What is the matter with it?!_ I thought you looked extremely nice, if that's the trouble. xP xD

Since when would Carissa ever approve of anything related to herself?

Seth!! lol!

Well, as far as I can tell it's true. :)

I've noticed it too, but whatever. :P Carissa is awesome. xD

Nope! You are awesome! And Seth and Sarah and Margaret and Emily,..all my friends are awesome!!!

Farewell Seth and Rachel! hugs

Aw, okay. Haha, that was a good idea.

We were incredibly original when coming up with the present subject matter. Welcome to the conversation.

Yes, I do remember that! Fun! :D

That is what I thought. It worked, too.

I should probably go… bye!

^@Carissa: We got your family letter/picture too. It was very lovely, thank you very much. :)^

I am still struggling to determine what exactly the present subject matter is.

Well, you're my friend, and you are awesome. :)

Death and Taxes. Actually, Death and Bible Bee, which is about the same thing.

That's good to know! Farewell!

Hi… I'm trying to multitask but I might be able to check every few minutes. :)

Am I correct in assuming that this conversation then arose from the quote, "All in life is uncertain except death and taxes"? Or is this quote entirely unrelated?

hugs Please don't die. Because if Seth loses his nose you need to find it for him. K?

Farewell! Again… ^Oh bother^ Okay. :)

Rachel: Whatever floats your boat.

Nicolas: Mhm.

Nicolas: The finals songs, family letters, and BB.

Greetings Matthew!

To those only slightly acquainted with Comrade Jackson, many of her remarks seem unrelated.

Well! It was a complete guess. But I suppose that I have not heard those two words so closely related except in connection with that quote, so it really wasn't such an amazing guess.

Nicolas: Mhm.

Mhm to what?

Sorry. Your comment… "You guys have been having quite the conversation."

Nicolas: Mhm.

Sorry. Your comment... "You guys have been having quite the conversation."

Ah. :D Yeah, I'm trying to pick up where I left off… it's probably going to take me a while. :P

It was a metaphor wrapped in a hyperbole, lying in a manger.

HYPERBOLE! That's the word I keep looking for these past few days! xP

HYPERBOLE! _That's_ the word I keep looking for these past few days! xP

Why were you looking for it?

Mmkay. :)

HYPERBOLE! _That's_ the word I keep looking for these past few days! xP

The real homeschooler question is, can you pronounce it properly?

There's been a couple instances lately where my family members were using hyperbole and I wanted to point it out, but I could not for the life of me think of the term.

Not like hyper-bowl.

Just the same as "hyper bowl," right?
