Social Chatting -- December 2015

Aww, bye Rachel! hug So glad you could come on today. =)

*wonders why _everything_ we talk about these days seems to lead back to Bible Bee* :P jk

Gee, I wonder! :P Is it just me, or is the nostalgia lasting longer than usual? x)

I actually have to leave. :( Good bye, my friends! *hug to whoever wants one* Have a blessed evening. =)

Farewell and good night!

*wonders why _everything_ we talk about these days seems to lead back to Bible Bee* :P jk

"Because it is your life..." -Deut 32:47 x)

Haha, wow, yeah. That is so ironically true. xD

We missed you guys! Next year, right? x)

Hehe, I sure hope so. :) In all probability I'll be swamped with work during the summer, so I'll have to put more effort than usual into getting enough studying done.

Hope so too!!

I meant elaboration on what posts of mine you've especially related to. "Misses people" isn't exactly the best example probably. xP

Oh, posts like the ones you posted just before I brought it up.

When are you going to be specific? xP

That. xP

Hmm… I don't know. It's been two weeks. At this time last year, our family wasn't even home yet, and I was feeling nostalgic for several days after we got home. :P Plus our family got to "extend" Nats a few extra days… not long enough… xP

Good grief… has it only been two weeks? I guess I thought it was longer because it's already December or something. I can't believe it was only that long ago.

Haha, yeah, but then at the same time it seems like just yesterday. x)

Two weeks ago today, there were Bible Bee people right here in this room, playing music together… sigh ^ _ ^

Sorry. xP

Yes, I know what you mean. Even past Nationals don't feel all that long ago. Few things really stick in my memory, but those certainly have. :)

Meh, I'm getting used to it. :P

Even past Nationals don't feel all that long ago.

That ^^ is a very comforting thought, because it means a year isn't as long as it seems. And I know that's true, but while you're waiting for a year it seems soooo long… xP

Now imagine two years. :P

Heh, yeah. Or more. :( There's one friend in particular, whom I met five years ago, but have only seen twice since then and can't tell when I will see him again. :\

That's too bad. :-/ Did you meet this friend at Nationals, I assume?

Yeah, he was the first out-of-state BB friend I met. :)

Did you meet because you were next to each other alphabetically? That's how I met the Andersons and the Alessios. :D

Yep! The majority of people I met for the first couple of years were in the processional room. xD

LOL :D It's always nice how that works, because you can make friends simply by sitting next to the same people year after year. Considering how many people make it to Nationals multiple years, it works out that way a lot. Wonder how things would be different if they didn't have specific seating arrangements every year. :D

Yes, that is really nice. :D Hmm… Probably we wouldn't happen to know quite as many people who share our last initial. xP Five years ago I was still a pretty big introvert and wouldn't have dared introduce myself to anybody, but thankfully he introduced himself to me… and the rest is history. xD

IT'S AN Alexander AND A Minica!

.I miss you guys sooo much!

opens up the windows

As you probably guessed, that's how it happened with me too. :P I, though, have not yet ceased to be a "pretty big introvert." :P I've made far more BB friends online than in person. x)

IKR? :P

Ugh, close those! It's too chilly out. :P

Agreed! It was just wishful thinking.

Haha! Your dream has partially come true. xP

What kind of wishful thinking? That old Memversers have been sitting outside them, just waiting for someone to open them so they can finally make their triumphant returns??

You know, although I don't consider myself an introvert anymore, I too have become acquainted with a good amount of my friends online at first; then met them at Nats and realized just how awesome these people are. xD

Who says that? It's usually the opposite for me :p

Oh, and I'm back now :P

Well, I can name at least a handful of em' who are that way. I guess I should be thankful they answer my questions at all!

Um… I'm not sure how to answer that xP

What was your favorite part of summer this year?

Local Bible Bee immediately springs to the forefront. x)

Um... I'm not sure how to answer that xP

Hehe now you know how I felt about the question you asked about the likemindedness or whatever earlier :P

Um… Okay. xP You're not the first person that's told me that. I think in general, the more time people spend around each other, the more they start acting like each other. x)

Scriptorium was mine favorite! How i wish I could go back in time…..
