Social Chatting--February 2015

Hey...! We'll see if I'm on at all for the MV "parties". I'm not sure now if I'll be on. We'll see though... :)

Do we have official times for those now?

Yeah. :) Christian should have recieved an email with it.

Noooo! I'm apologizing for saying something and then disappearing!

All right, all right. :P How's your day been? :)

Okay. :)

But... but _why_? It wasn't that bad! :P

It had potential. It did. But, it was poorly executed.

Having just seen it, I'm really not sure what you mean. :P

Tris was mood-shifting the whole movie. First all timid, she sees that blonde lady )I'm forgetting her name) at the ceremony and is automatically snarky. Stuff like that was happening throughout the movie.

The side characters weren't developed. You met them, that was it. When things happened to them, you didn't really care. Same with Tris' family.

The movie as a whole felt rushed, and because of that, they made changes to the story that hurt it. The ending wasn't so much of a resolution as a "…the bad guy's plan was pretty stupid…".

I hope you make it!!

Okay. All valid points. Guess I'm not that good of a movie critic. :P But that means I get to have more fun! ;P

Noooo! I'm apologizing for saying something and then disappearing!

All right, all right. :P How's your day been? :)

My day has been very nice ^for the most part^! :) Yours? :) It's been kinda relaxing…but also busy. :)

How's it going down there in AL? :)

Matthew: I hope so too. :)

Mine's been quite good. :) School was kind of depressing, but the rest of the day's been great! :) And of course, being a Friday, I got to wrap it up with a great movie. :D What'd you do today? :)

How've you been, Matthew? :)

Why was school depressing? Fun! :) Voice lessons, school, reading, piano (worked on it, Sam, and got the first two pages doen! :), and thinking. Oh, and memory. I'll be up late doing that. :P What else did you do today? :)

I get to have fun and exercise my brain while I watch a movie. :P

Was it as bad as you thought it was? :)

Okay. All valid points. Guess I'm not that good of a movie critic. :P But that means I get to have more fun! ;P

I get to have fun _and_ exercise my brain while I watch a movie. :P

shrugs It's more fun when you don't have to exercise your brain as much. :P

How's it going down there in AL? :) Matthew: I hope so too. :)

Good! Finishing up some schoolwork, listening to music, and being excited for our travels tomorrow. :)

*shrugs* It's more fun when you don't have to exercise your brain as much. :P

It's more profitable when you exercise your brain! After all, you have to redeem the time, right? And entertainment should help you, right? So if I use my entertainment to help me think, isn't my way the better way, Mr. Don't-Waste-Time? :P

Why was school depressing? Fun! :) Voice lessons, school, reading, piano (worked on it, Sam, and got the first two pages doen! :), and thinking. Oh, and memory. I'll be up late doing that. :P What else did you do today? :)

Because I didn't really get anything done. :P Three times, I think, my group tried the same thing, and we kept doing it wrong, mainly because I kept measuring wrong. :P But hopefully we'll be done with our railing by the end of Monday. :P

Great! What are you memorizing?

Well, in school I continued in a new Bible class I started recently; it's basically a quick overview of systematic theology. I've been enjoying it! :)

How've you been, Matthew? :)

Since we last spoke, I've been basically the same - blindingly busy with school and work. :P This week I had fun rebuilding our pool deck and trying to replace a sink drain, among other things. But I'm happy - just 13 more weeks of that. xD

Did my Lord come?

Did my Lord come?

Was it as bad as you thought it was? :)

I have it done as sight reading. Meaning I can play it. :P Well, I can play the whole thing. I still have to perfect them. ;)

I think I'm just going to be perfectly honest and say… yes, your way is the better way. :P (That's partially why I don't involve myself in more entertainment–I just throw myself into it for the enjoyment, and don't really get anything profitable out of it! :P)

I know what you mean. I can play anything! But playing it at the rate of one chord/note every 7 seconds doesn't sound much like music. :P

How've you been, Matthew? :)

Well, sounds hectic! :P Hope you don't get worn out with all that busyness. ;) What'd you do today in particular? :)

Well, stop self-deprecating and FIX IT, MAN!

I know what you mean. I can play anything! But playing it at the rate of one chord/note every 7 seconds doesn't sound much like music. :P

still can't even figure out how to play different things with different hands without overloading his brain :P

Ah, okay.

Acts 27. I technically have to memorize it memorized by tonight. :P It's for our scriptorium. :)

That sounds great! During Bible time we are now studying the end times. :) We discussed some of the different theology views. I'm really going to enjoy it! :)

How's it going down there in AL? :) Matthew: I hope so too. :)

Good! Finishing up some schoolwork, listening to music, and being excited for our travels tomorrow. :)

Fun! :) Travels tomorrow…? ;)

Hey Sarah!

I think I'm just going to be perfectly honest and say... yes, your way is the better way. :P (That's partially why I don't involve myself in more entertainment--I just throw myself into it for the enjoyment, and don't really get anything profitable out of it! :P)

Well, stop self-deprecating and FIX IT, MAN!

I never would have gotten all that out of watching Divergent! :P It's not something you just… fix. :P Why not just do stuff that's obviously profitable and leave pure entertainment for special occasions? :P

Haha! Yeah! Something like that! :P

Well, sounds hectic! :P Hope you don't get worn out with all that busyness. ;) What'd you do today in particular? :)

Hmm. Well, among other things, I finished my second unit of LifePac Essentials to Communication; taught six piano lessons; and then, I actually got some free time tonight to play Star Con 2 with my dad and brother. :P

What've you been up to?

My dear Abibuddy! :)

I know what you mean. I can play anything! But playing it at the rate of one chord/note every 7 seconds doesn't sound much like music. :P

*still can't even figure out how to play different things with different hands without overloading his brain* :P

Besides the fact that Rosie is too busy you should ask her to help you learn! :)

How's it going down there in AL? :) Matthew: I hope so too. :)

Good! Finishing up some schoolwork, listening to music, and being excited for our travels tomorrow. :)

Fun! :) Travels tomorrow...? ;) Hey Sarah!

Visiting some friends, and we're going to the LEGOLAND Discovery Center!

OMGosh, we went to the Civil Right Museum here this afternoon,..it was…sobering. And amazing. The struggle against segregation, and for equal rights…it cost so many lives. It was an amazing experience. I learned a lot.

^I still can't get how people can be so…mean towards others…just based on skin color…^

Ah, okay. Acts 27. I technically have to memorize it memorized by tonight. :P It's for our scriptorium. :) That sounds great! During Bible time we are now studying the end times. :) We discussed some of the different theology views. I'm really going to enjoy it! :)

Great! When exactly is your Scriptorium next month again?

Oh, cool! I hope to learn more about that myself soon. I'm really wanting to read Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology for my Bible class next year, so that would be helpful! :)

I know what you mean. I can play anything! But playing it at the rate of one chord/note every 7 seconds doesn't sound much like music. :P

*still can't even figure out how to play different things with different hands without overloading his brain* :P

It takes a whole lot of practice, dude. Nothing else works. Unless you happen to be terribly gifted. :P

*is here*

ABIACK!

Hey girlie,

Great! :D

Basically just lots of career center and lots of school. :P

I think I'm just going to be perfectly honest and say... yes, your way is the better way. :P (That's partially why I don't involve myself in more entertainment--I just throw myself into it for the enjoyment, and don't really get anything profitable out of it! :P)

I _never_ would have gotten all that out of watching Divergent! :P It's not something you just... fix. :P Why not just do stuff that's obviously profitable and leave pure entertainment for special occasions? :P

You should've gotten at least that much, especially since you'd just read the book, dude. :P

Define "special". :P The "diet" mentality always leads to cheating and backsliding, eventually. :P

hugs

How's my favorite little brother?

*is here*

ABIACK!

NIACK!

That's a pretty big fact to ignore. ;P Plus, how could that help? I know what I'm supposed to do, but I just can't get my brain to make it work! :P

*hugs* How's my favorite little brother?

hugs

That's a pointless question.

Wonderful. Meaning, a lot of time, which I don't really have. xP Should've started earlier…

Ah, that would be very interesting to visit. It is very sobering just to think about… And to think it still goes on today sorta. =\

^I know. :( It's so sad. :(^

Not if you've got accountability! ;P

Yeah… :\ I know exactly what you mean. I'm not even finding time to play piano much lately. It's not counted for school credits. :P
