Social Chatting November 2016

Makes my fourth post here

XD

This is a lonely place… Fifth post on here for me

returns to Memverse after a week of silence

^ Same. Sort of. :P I have a week of nostogia and memory recording to do first. ;P

wonders if Katrina is really here

Did it say I was here? I don't think I was actually on here half an hour ago. :P Oh well.

Zach: how long will it take you to record it all? xD I'm going to record mine, hopefully. :)

Katrina: That's weird…. it said you were on. I actually just logged back on so hopefully you're still on. xD

Hi Rachel! :D

Hi Hannah! x)

Have you caught up on sleep yet?

Zach: how long will it take you to record it all? xD I'm going to record mine, hopefully. :)

Most of it was done by two weeks, and all of it was done within a month. Right now though I'm too dead and sad to remember all the details from nationals. I just need some alone time for it all to sink in so my mind clears up and I can recall better.

Ahhh, sorry Hannah. I got right back off because I had to leave. :P Hopefully I'll be on when you're on sometime soon and you can tell me about Nats. xD

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! xD

looks at the time It's only 8:53 here! And only 9:53 in michigan!

…wha? Where are you? My clock says 9:55. :P

I'm in Iowa visiting family. :P

Ohh, I see, haha. :P Well, it's still only 10:04 here. xD

Exactly. So it's not Thanksgiving for another 1 hour and 56 minutes. xP

Why should that mean I can't say Happy Thanksgiving now? Can you not remember what I said for an hour and 46 minutes? xP

Is in the chat room

Wait, what did you say, Katrina? ;P

Happy Thanksgiving! Is in the chat room for a few minutes

Happy Thanksgiving! :D

How to overcome after-Bible Bee depression:
Turn on a Bontrager CD really loud.
Look at friends pictures.
Start making new verse cards for the passages you want to memorize.

No! No! No! Doing stuff like the first two just reminds me of everyone.

How to really overcome after-Bible Bee depression:

• Go to sleep
• Take a nap
• Sleep in an extra hour

No, no, no. This is how you do it.

-Look at your favorite pictures 5 times a day.
-Read your program book signatures three times a day.
-Listen to those songs that remind you of the times you had last week.
-Check your email every hour looking for emails from people…which, sadly, you haven't received too many yet… :P
-Tell stories to your family over and over until they say "That's the 5th time we've heard that…"
-Catch up on sleep.
-Make a countdown for next year.

Okay, I'm kidding guys! :P Sort-of-ish. :P

No, no, no, no, no! The real way you overcome after-Bible Bee depression is to:

-Keep busy, don't just sit around feeling sorry for yourself!
-Be glad about the time you did have, don't be sad about the time you didn't have!
-Think about how fast the past year went, and how fast this next year will go, until we get to do it all over again!
-Remember how infinitesimal this life is compared to eternity!
-Finally, catch up on sleep, but don't get too much of it, or else you'll feel very grouchy! Too much sleep will make you even sleepier! (I can testify to that fact;)

And I'm not kidding. xD

Brianna has very good advice :).

Also, remember that a year is so tiny compared to eternity!

No, Anna, that doesn't work because then you just wake up depressed later. :P
Rachel, I'm trying so hard to not tell my family the same stories over and over. xP But some of them are really good and deserve to be told 15 times. xP
Brianna probably actually has the best list… xD

Yes! It's infinitesimal compared to the time we'll have together in heaven! xD

Agreed. Brianna's list is best. But still, sleeping does pass the time. And my dreams are usually of Bible Bee people, so at least I get to feel like I'm at Bible Bee then :).

returns from googling infinitesimal :P

But then you'll just wake up sadder and you didn't get anything accomplished! xD

I admit - I love to sleep. And it does make the time go fast. But I have been working to not love sleep so much, because we are told: "Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty;" and also, if I sleep away half the day, and then wake up, I feel (most of the time) like I've wasted a whole bunch of time sleeping when I didn't really need to sleep, and I could have been doing something else a whole lot more productive…xD xP

doesn't want to admit that you are right

Well, sleeping is an accomplishment after three months of not doing it enough! I have to catch up and make up for lost sleep.

@Eirene: God gives to his beloved sleep! (I think that's Psalm 127:3ish) But yes, I know what you mean :).

Well, I need to go help Joy make supper now, instead of arguing about sleep! :) Miss y'all!

xD I know. It's hard…

I've been sleeping in every day this week…and sleeping a lot this week won't be held against us as we didn't get enough of it for just about a whole week of nights. xD

Okay, have fun cooking! xD

Yes, he does give us sleep, because we need it. ;D

There…I edited my list. xD I think it should be complete now…

Okay, I think Brianna wins the prize for the most helpful list. XDDD

Not even 3 pages? This…. is sad. xP

You and I haven't been dominating the forums like we did this summer. xP

Y'all eating pumpkins now: what were you eating the rest of the year?!

casuls.

Please Lord, let your people remember that cruelty towards your sacred beasts is wicked in your sight. Let them remember that the love which you have for them extends to thine turkeys as well. Please, bring them to repentance and love for you and all of you beloved creatures.
