Social Chatting--February 2015

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

Ugh. Blows my mind whenever I think of it. Makes no sense… but if that's what you've been taught all your life… I dunno…

*hugs* How's my favorite little brother?

*hugs* That's a pointless question.

True. I mean, you're my little brother, of course you're feeling super-awesome. :)

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! :)

March 20-21. :) We're gonna be busy… :P At least I get to help with registration, and babysitting all the cute kids, and helping with food! :) It'll be amazing!!! :)

Neat! :)

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

*shrugs* Not a movie critic, like I said! :P Not if you've got accountability! ;P

Shame on you. :P

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

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

Yeah, that's basically the problem I'm having. :P Just can't fit piano into a 24-hour schedule most of the time… :P

*is here*

ABIACK!

NIACK!

How's it going? :D

It's going okay, I'm watching spider man now!

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! :)

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

She'd be able to help you. Nods And keep working, your brain is smart enough to get the hang of it. ;)

*hugs* How's my favorite little brother?

*hugs* That's a pointless question.

True. I mean, you're *my* little brother, of course you're feeling super-awesome. :)

Ohhh yeahh of course!

March 20-21. :) We're gonna be busy... :P At least I get to help with registration, and babysitting all the cute kids, and helping with food! :) It'll be amazing!!! :)

Sounds awesome! :D So wish we could've come… :(

CARISSA!

*is here*

ABIACK!

NIACK!

How's it going? :D

It's going okay, I'm watching spider man now!

Awesomeness! Liking it?

I knowwwww!!!!! :(

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

Ugh. Blows my mind whenever I think of it. Makes no sense... but if that's what you've been taught all your life... I dunno...

What's worse is how people could do that and then go to church. It's sickening.

BIG SIS!

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

How?? :P

I don't think this is a matter of intelligence; it's a matter of coordination. xP

You can say that again. The American "church", for the most part, is sickening.

*hugs* How's my favorite little brother?

*hugs* That's a pointless question.

True. I mean, you're *my* little brother, of course you're feeling super-awesome. :)

Ohhh yeahh of course!

How's New York? :)

I'm here to talk with ya'lls!

March 20-21. :) We're gonna be busy... :P At least I get to help with registration, and babysitting all the cute kids, and helping with food! :) It'll be amazing!!! :)

Sounds awesome! :D So wish we could've come... :(

I knowwwww!!!!! :(

But just four more months! ;)

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

She'd be able to help you. *Nods* And keep working, your brain is smart enough to get the hang of it. ;)

_How_?? :P I don't think this is a matter of intelligence; it's a matter of coordination. xP

Little sisters have a way! :P JK!

And you're smart enough to get coordination figured out! :)

Yay!!! :D

Yeah… how can you actually believe that other humans are inferior to you, and not feel guilty about it?

I'm here to talk with ya'lls!

facepalm Ya'lls?? :P

March 20-21. :) We're gonna be busy... :P At least I get to help with registration, and babysitting all the cute kids, and helping with food! :) It'll be amazing!!! :)

Sounds awesome! :D So wish we could've come... :(

I knowwwww!!!!! :(

But just four more months! ;)

It's too long still!!! :( But I'm soooo looking forward to it!!! :) If baked ziti is on the menu you should make it together again! ;) And do origami! :D

I'm here to talk with ya'lls!

*facepalm* Ya'lls?? :P

And who was saying "all y'all people" earlier?? :P

_How_?? :P I don't think this is a matter of intelligence; it's a matter of coordination. xP

Little sisters have a way! :P JK! And you're smart enough to get coordination figured out! :)

Whatever. xP

But… it doesn't just work like that, does it? I don't think my intelligence will figure it out; I'll just have to force myself to practice enough until it "clicks," or something. :P

How many piano lessons do you give a week? :) Are you better at sightreading or playing by ear? :)

I'm here to talk with ya'lls!

*facepalm* Ya'lls?? :P

hug

Of course it'll be on the menu! And yes, definitely! :D

I'm here to talk with ya'lls!

*facepalm* Ya'lls?? :P

And _who_ was saying "all y'all people" earlier?? :P

I was facepalming at the apostrophe placement! :P

_How_?? :P I don't think this is a matter of intelligence; it's a matter of coordination. xP

Little sisters have a way! :P JK! And you're smart enough to get coordination figured out! :)

Whatever. xP But... it doesn't just work like that, does it? I don't think my intelligence will figure it out; I'll just have to force myself to practice enough until it "clicks," or something. :P

Well, things always take practice. ;) It's easiest to start by learning the right hand. Then learn the left hand and then practice them together. Start with an easy song though. ;)

I'm here to talk with ya'lls!

*facepalm* Ya'lls?? :P

*hug*

yelps Augh! A handshake will suffice, thank you! :P backs away and shakes your hand heartily

Yay!!! :D I'm gonna teach Daniel how to make it sometime soon! :)

How many piano lessons do you give a week? :) Are you better at sightreading or playing by ear? :)

13, if they all come. Hmm, let's see… I'm pretty good at both, but probably better at playing by ear. They're both good skills to have. ;)

I'm here to talk with ya'lls!

*facepalm* Ya'lls?? :P

And _who_ was saying "all y'all people" earlier?? :P

I was facepalming at the apostrophe placement! :P

Whatever! :P Still, both were weird. :P

But... it doesn't just work like that, does it? I don't think my intelligence will figure it out; I'll just have to force myself to practice enough until it "clicks," or something. :P

Well, things always take practice. ;) It's easiest to start by learning the right hand. Then learn the left hand and then practice them together. Start with an easy song though. ;)

I've spent a good deal of time working with each hand individually on easy songs, but now whenever I try to put them together, everything grinds to a halt! :P

I'm here to talk with ya'lls!

*facepalm* Ya'lls?? :P

*hug*

*yelps* Augh! A handshake will suffice, thank you! :P *backs away and shakes your hand heartily*

Haha… okay. ;P brb!

Alrighty, Matthew needs to go. See you guys tomorrow at the party, hopefully! :D

Of course it'll be on the menu! And yes, definitely! :D

Yay!!! :D I'm gonna teach Daniel how to make it sometime soon! :)

Great! :)

Meh… granted. :P

13, if they all come. Hmm, let's see... I'm pretty good at both, but probably better at playing by ear. They're both good skills to have. ;)

Okay! :) What's the average age of your students? :) Okay! Yeah, really! I can only sight read. Seriously. I've tried playing by ear and it doesn't work. At. All. Facepalm

*yelps* Augh! A handshake will suffice, thank you! :P *backs away and shakes your hand heartily*

Haha... okay. ;P brb!

Um, sys!

I will show you in June!!! :P

Did Sam leave?

Bye Matthew!

I can play by ear… note by note, hitting every key until I find the right one. :P

Alrighty, Matthew needs to go. See you guys tomorrow at the party, hopefully! :D

Farewell Matthew! See you later! I don't know if I'll make it to the party… but I might!

Oh. Two things. You'll probably only get one though. :P

1. You yelp a lot. :P Sorta. A lot these days at least. :P

2. "Hearty handshakes all around"

I will show you in June!!! :P Did Sam leave?

How do you just… "show" someone something like that?? :P

I don't know… he's still on GS! :P

Shisha. You know as well as I do that you can't "show" someone how to play left and right hand simultaneously. You can only advise them. :P

Oh. Two things. You'll probably only get one though. :P 1. You yelp a lot. :P Sorta. A lot these days at least. :P 2. "Hearty handshakes all around"

1. People keep assaulting me! ;P
2. Movie quote obviously, but probably from something I've never seen. :P
