It's Party Time!

[EbonyStar]

(keep in mind, no one was here when I started writing this)

Alrightey then

ME: *grumbles* Stupid movie taking longer than expected. Stupid being-by-myself-and-not-having-anyone-to-talk-to-ness....
BB#2: Hey!
ME: *rolls eyes* You know what I mean. Anyways, hi.
BB#2: *looks a little confused* ....hi.
ME: I haven't talked to you guys in forever.
BB#1: Hey, no big deal.
ME: Liar.
BB#1: How do you know?
ME: *shrugs* I had a 50/50 shot of guessing right.

Liz is almost always right

ME: Anyways, I'm really sorry for ignorin' you guys.
BB#4: Hey, don't you worry 'bout it.
BB#3: Yea, we know ya gotta hang w/ other people sometimes.
BB#2: *grumbles* Don't know why she'd wanna hang w/ anyone else, though...
ME: Believe it or not, there are other people here besides you.
BB#2: You know damn well that I'm cooler than anyone else here.
ME: Whoa, where'd that sudden boost of ego come from?
BB#3: Trust me, honey, it's always been there.
ME: Yea, you're right.
BB#2: I'm right here, ya know.
ME: Your point?
BB#2: *rolls eye sockets, sighs, & goes back to drumming*
ME: *looks concerned* You ok, man?
BB#2: I'm fine.
ME: Liar.
BB#2: I said I'm fine.
ME: Ya don't sound fine.

Wuh-oh. Trouble with a capital trouble

EMBER: *walks by* That's only 'cause he's talking to you.
ME: *immaturely sticks tongue out at him*
EMBER: You want your tongue burned again?
ME: *talks while her tongue is still out* I'll take the risk.
EMBER: *can't help but laugh at how funny I look/sound*
ME: *smirks* Ya might as well just walk away now before I get too proud of myself for making you laugh.
EMBER: Right. *walks off*

ME: *glances at Ember and sits next to him* Hey, guess what? You n me should talk now
EMBER: Hm, why?
ME: Cause I'm the author and I say so
EMBER: It's pathetic that the only way you can get me to listen to you is by mentioning repeatedly that you're the author
ME: I couldn't care less

BB#2: *glares at Ember as he walks off, then lowers his head*
ME: *turns her attention back to the BB's* Anyways, where were we?
BB#1: You were takin' the role of the pub's resident therapist again.
ME: Oh yeah! So....*looks over at BB#2* You feel like talkin'?
BB#2: ....not really.
ME: .........I've been missin' you, ya know.
BB#2: *lifts head up* Seriously?
ME: *grins* Dead serious.
BB#2: .....*can't help but smile a little*
ME: ......ya wanna dance sometime tonight?
BB#2: Absolutely...
ME: *looks a little surprised*
BB#2: ......I mean, uh...sure. I guess...
ME: *smirks* Kewl. *jumps down off stage* Don't you let me leave w/o dancing w/ you.
BB#2: *salutes* Can do, honey.
ME: *walks off*

ME: *breathes in, then out* And the eternal balance that is the atmosphere of the pub has been struck

[Liz]

Liz is almost always right

Wuh-oh. Trouble with a capital trouble

Only Tara...

ME: *glances at Ember and sits next to him* Hey, guess what? You n me should talk now

Oh, this should be interesting.

ME: *breathes in, then out* And the eternal balance that is the atmosphere of the pub has been struck

*laughs a little, then nods*

Okay, I'm gonna extreme quote the extreme quote that I was gonna extreme quote before I left earlier.

[EbonyStar]

Only Tara...

I say that whenever the situation calls for it, which is thankfully not often

Oh, this should be interesting.

We'll get to that in a minute

Okay, I'm gonna extreme quote the extreme quote that I was gonna extreme quote before I left earlier.

.......you do that

ME: *sits on couch next to Ember* So.......your timing's horrible
EMBER: Hm?
ME: Just seriously, try and be tactful. I know it isn't your strong point--
EMBER: It can be
ME: Yeah, at all the wrong times! Look, just.......use your brain for your timing, man. I know I gave you a brain when I made you
EMBER: *is resisting the urge to mockingly sing "If I Only Had A Brain"*
ME: *glares* Whatever you're thinking of saying, don't.
EMBER: *shrugs*
ME: Why don't we ever hang out, by the way? I'm just wondering
EMBER: Because--like you haven't stated it so many times already--you're the author. It's like a teacher hanging out with a student
ME: .......I do that, though. My teachers play cards with me and my friends during free periods. I physically pushed a teacher out of the way to get to the water bubbler first, but only cause he pushed me first.
EMBER: .......interesting school you go to
ME: You don't know the half of it. So, anyway, just use your brain, be tactful, and remember that the pub doesn't focus around you
EMBER: *grins*
ME: But of course you think it does. You're a man. You think you're near as dammit perfect
EMBER: Well.....
ME: Don't even. Just go enjoy yourself. Play the piano or something
EMBER: I was just going to *walks off and starts playing the piano*

[Liz]

Hey, I tried to skip today. But it was fun anyway, and my mom let me come home early still.

I love coming home early. But I also love just staying home altogether so I can sleep in. I LOVE to sleep.

.....no, seriously. Was it from my allpoetry page?

No. I think it was in one of your email addresses.

I don't like the name Louise on its own (for me, anyway), but it flows with the rest of my name well. It's so Irish, though

Ah, the pros & cons of a middle name.

EMBER: Ha, ha, ha.

EMBER: *annoyingly* LOL, Carrionism!

*falls over laughing*

ME: .......you're a pest
EMBER: I try
ME: *rolls eyes*

*raises eyebrows* Did you two just switch roles?

Jeans, sneakers, and a t-shirt. A baggy sweatshirt if it's cold. That's what I tend to wear.

I know, I know. And that's cool. Nice & comfy. I love waring stuff like that. But....I dunno. I just like looking good on some days. I tend to feel more confident if I'm a little well-dressed. But I do NOT follow fashion in the least bit. I LOATHE shopping.

Skirts are so.......limiting

ME: I suppose. But I just like wearin' 'em. ^_^ Nothing too short, though.
BJ: Dang.
ME: Oh, you hush! *throws a pillow at him*
BJ: *laughs & blocks it w/ his arms*
ME: *laughs as well*

ME: Okay, I'll wear a skirt when you wear a tux
EMBER: .......
ME: Yeah, that's what I thought

Nice.

ooh! *writes down on a piece of paper "Draw BJ in a sweater and draw Ember in a tux"*

XDD *so totally can't wait to see them, but knows she most likely will never see them*

EMBER: *looks sickened*
ME:
EMBER: .......*looks more sickened*

*laughs*

ME: I take characters and put them in outfits they're least likely to wear.

That's ALWAYS funny.

Now, it's easy for Beej, cause all that means is him wearing anything but a bowler hat

*nods* But he can get away w/ wearing anything 'cause he's just that cool.

*smacks forehead* C'mon, wake up. Dreams are for sleeping

Says you. Daydreams make up about 90% of my day.

EMBER: This coming from the girl who missed an hour long lecture because she was thinking about her stories
ME: Shush!

Burn.

I don't think you've told anyone to do that before

I was actually gonna point that out.

EMBER: *shrugs* You're an odd person

*can't help but smile*

MORI: *whispers* That was a compliment

*continues smiling* I know.

EMBER: Well, it's better than a goblin.

*laughs a little* True.

Fairies are smart, at least. I mean, they trick people into saying or doing stuff, but they're generally smart about it

Smart? Well, then I'm no fairy. But...thanks.

EMBER: *glances at Liz* You'd be defensive if you had these fairies in your world. They're so annoying
MORI: That's really about all they do. They don't hurt anyone or steal or stuff. They're just really annoying

Kinda like the BB's?

MORI: *looks around and heads off to meet some more people*
EMBER: .......*walks off to the piano and starts playing it*
ME: .......I'm all alone, there's no one here beside me. My problems have all gone, there's no one to deriiiiiiide meeeeeee.........

Thank God I wasn't here for that.

HESSIAN: *walks by*
ME: But you gotta have friends!
HESSIAN: *two thumbs up in agreement and keeps walking*

*falls over laughing*

ME: He's way too funny

*agrees*

.......you do that

Just did.

ME: *sits on couch next to Ember* So.......your timing's horrible

Yet another thing you two have in common.

EMBER: *is resisting the urge to mockingly sing "If I Only Had A Brain"*

*snickers at the visual*

ME: Why don't we ever hang out, by the way? I'm just wondering
EMBER: Because--like you haven't stated it so many times already--you're the author. It's like a teacher hanging out with a student

Ooh, good comparison. I could never stand to hang out w/ any of my teachers. 'Twould be most awkward.

You think you're near as dammit perfect

*tries to act like she doesn't think that about him as well*

ME: Don't even. Just go enjoy yourself. Play the piano or something
EMBER: I was just going to *walks off and starts playing the piano*

*contemplates going over there & listening to him play, then decides not to & sits at the bar*

[sojuske]

*8comes back in, yet again as she's like, been zoning* Hi Tara and Liz.
Sorry, I was looking up stuff for UCSD. It's crazy how much you got to do in that school. Like, I look at it and I'm like "I'm going to fall over dead... but with boingo fans to pick me up. Yay!"
Weird mix of reasons, so odd to do colleges.

[Liz]

Hiya Sharon! *hugs*

It's crazy how much you got to do in that school. Like, I look at it and I'm like "I'm going to fall over dead... but with boingo fans to pick me up. Yay!"

*laughs* That's great.

[sojuske]

*hugs back* Yah, it's great. Rina is like "come here... you shall live at my house... when you aren't in college"
And her friends are like "let her know I'm here, she'd definately come then!" etc. It's just really funny, but weird. My parents don't want me to go their though because it's past LA so the only way to really get there is to fly almost (cars would be too slow and stuff)

(And I'm listenign to main titles of black beauty, wondering whether the rest of the soundtrack is that beautiful because it's really really nice)

[EbonyStar]

I love coming home early. But I also love just staying home altogether so I can sleep in. I LOVE to sleep.

Sleeping is the best thing ever. It's better than eating. My bed is my favorite place ever.
Nobody go turning that into something I didn't mean to say

No. I think it was in one of your email addresses.

Ohhh, right ^.^

Ah, the pros & cons of a middle name.

A-yup

*falls over laughing*

ME: *dryly* Isn't he just so adorable when he's making fun of us?

*raises eyebrows* Did you two just switch roles?

I don't think so. Our roles are interchangeable, anyway. We've got similar enough personalities ^.^

I know, I know. And that's cool. Nice & comfy. I love waring stuff like that. But....I dunno. I just like looking good on some days. I tend to feel more confident if I'm a little well-dressed. But I do NOT follow fashion in the least bit. I LOATHE shopping.

I feel exactly the opposite of confident if I'm well-dressed. I feel so self-conscious.

ME: I suppose. But I just like wearin' 'em. ^_^ Nothing too short, though.
BJ: Dang.
ME: Oh, you hush! *throws a pillow at him*
BJ: *laughs & blocks it w/ his arms*
ME: *laughs as well*

.....the word "frisky" just came to mind. Sorry, but I just felt like saying that. It doesn't help that my cat's freaking out over a feather

XDD *so totally can't wait to see them, but knows she most likely will never see them*

You'll see them this summer. Don't let me forget
EMBER: Like anyone's gonna remember that

That's ALWAYS funny.

Final Fantasy characters are the bst for that, because they all have certain styles and personalities. It's so easy to gve them their exact opposite personality type or stereotypical label

*nods* But he can get away w/ wearing anything 'cause he's just that cool.

Even a sweater

Says you. Daydreams make up about 90% of my day.

Pfft, only 90%?
I'm joking, actually. I thought I wasn't really, but I am. I'm pretty focused

Burn.

EMBER: *casts fire around his hand and does this sweeping bow thing*

*can't help but smile*

EMBER: .......you're a very odd person.....
ME: Ah, you've met odder

*continues smiling* I know.

EMBER: Mori's a liar
MORI: Not nearly as much as you are!

Smart? Well, then I'm no fairy. But...thanks.

EMBER: *shrugs* Whatever...

Kinda like the BB's?

EMBER: Surprisingly, they're more annoying. And they don't know good jazz if it slapped them in the face
ME: Well, neither do the BBs
BBs: -_-
ME: .......aw, I love you guys ^.^

Thank God I wasn't here for that.

I can cut a pitiful figure if I want

*falls over laughing*

HESSIAN: *does a "Score!" gesture*
ME: He likes making people laugh now. A nice change from making them dead

Yet another thing you two have in common.

In reality, my timing's incredible fortunate. Here, it sucks. And so does Ember's. But he just sits around on the couch all day and reads, so no surprise there

*snickers at the visual*

EMBER Not gonna happen

Ooh, good comparison. I could never stand to hang out w/ any of my teachers. 'Twould be most awkward.

Sit in a car with one at ten at night for a half hour and talk to me about "awkward"
EMBER: You like to obsess over that, don't you?
ME: .......you would, too, if you were me

*tries to act like she doesn't think that about him as well*

ME: *glances around the pub and groans* Am I the only sane person in here?!
MORI: Hey!
ME: Besides Mori?
MORI: ^_^
ME: Face it, Mori. We're the only ones here at the moment who don't throw themselves for guys
MORI: *shrugs* I'm only fourteen
ME: I'm fifteen. Almost fifteen and a half. That's not a big difference. When I was your age, I was just as cynical about love as I am now. So there!
MORI: .......but...I'm not really cynical about anything
ME: I'm your balance. You be Yang, I'll be Yin

*contemplates going over there & listening to him play, then decides not to & sits at the bar*

MORI: Self-discipline. Nice
ME: I have way too much. It's about time someone else got some, too
MORI: So.......who do you hang out with these days?
ME: *shrugs* I can't really remember.
MORI: .....missing anyone?
ME: My friend who I'm not going to see til next schoolyear
MORI: .............oookay.....but anyone from the party?
ME: Huh? Nah, not really. I'm okay just chillin right now. But thanks for askin
MORI: You sure?
ME: *smiles* Totally. Don't worry about me. And I only really say that cause I'm not used to people worrying about me

Hey, Sharon! *hugs*
(The Black Beauty soundtrack is gorgeous. I haven't listened to the entire thing yet, but I know the Main Titles are beautiful. Mommy is short but really sweet, and I like Gang On The Run. There's a part just a while into it where you can really hear the traditional Elfmanesque almost demented section come through. I remember what part in the movie that is, too ^.^ Black Beauty tries on horseshoes for the first time)

Ugh. Sorry, guys, but I can hardly keep my eyes open. I'm gonna go to bed like I should've done two hours ago, but 'll see you all tomorrow *hugs* I hope, anyway. I'm definitely getting some work done then. G'night! *leaves*

[Liz]

Sleeping is the best thing ever. It's better than eating.

Well, I dunno about that. Eating is my favorite thing. But sleeping is a VERY close 2nd.

My bed is my favorite place ever.
Nobody go turning that into something I didn't mean to say

*desparately tries not to snicker* Wow, I am so immature.

ME: *dryly* Isn't he just so adorable when he's making fun of us?

*nods enthusiastically* (Come on, you can't say you didn't see that coming)

I feel exactly the opposite of confident if I'm well-dressed. I feel so self-conscious.

Well, that's another difference between us. I acutally am pretty confident when it comes to my appearance......most days.

.....the word "frisky" just came to mind.

Not surprised. That word pretty much sums up BJ in a nutshell.

EMBER: *casts fire around his hand and does this sweeping bow thing*

Nice.

EMBER: .......you're a very odd person.....

Say what ya want, I'm still takin' that as a compliment.

EMBER: Surprisingly, they're more annoying. And they don't know good jazz if it slapped them in the face
ME: Well, neither do the BBs

Burn!

BBs: -_-
ME: .......aw, I love you guys ^.^

Me too! ^_^

HESSIAN: *does a "Score!" gesture*

ME: *tries not to laugh at that as well, then fails* God, everything he does is hilarious for some reason! *giggles*
EMBER: *raises an eyebrow & looks over at Mori* And...you seem to be under the impression that I like her?
MORI: Well, sure! She's tons of fun, and you're no fun at all. She completes you! ^_^ (Ice Age 2 reference)
EMBER: *groans* Now YOU'RE quoting stuff?
MORI: Can't help it. It's fun.

ME: He likes making people laugh now. A nice change from making them dead

So true. The world needs less murderers & more comedians.

Sit in a car with one at ten at night for a half hour and talk to me about "awkward"

*smirks* Awkward, or Heaven?

EMBER: You like to obsess over that, don't you?
ME: .......you would, too, if you were me

I know I would.

ME: *glances around the pub and groans* Am I the only sane person in here?!
MORI: Hey!
ME: Besides Mori?
MORI: ^_^

Sanity is highly overrated.

ME: Face it, Mori. We're the only ones here at the moment who don't throw themselves for guys

Aw, you'll grow into it. Trust me, it's wicked fun. ;D

MORI: Self-discipline. Nice

See? I'm learning. *is feeling proud* Okey-dokey, I'm gonna go dance w/ my favorite drum-playin' skeleton. *walks off*

[sojuske]

(I wish I had seen that movie, however I haven't. )
Me: *goes tover to where Danny is and sits down*
Danny: You feeling better?
Me: Yah. You know what is strange?
Danny: *raises and eyebrow and waits*
Me: Fine. What's strange is the fact that the more I give my friend advice and stuff, the more I pinpoint myown faults and follow my own advice and try to change.
Danny: You are trying to change?
Me: Well, be more self confident and have less of the self loathing. You help with that as well.
Danny: How do I help with that?
Me: I don't kno, you just do.

[Liz]

Danny: You are trying to change?
Me: Well, be more self confident and have less of the self loathing.

Aw, that's great, Sharon. Everyone needs some self-confidence. Just as long as your ego doesn't take up half the pub. *shoots a pointed glance at Tara*

[EbonyStar]

Dear. Lord.

I just typed up replies to over half that extreme quote and somehow screwed it up so my computer went back a page and erased it. This is only what, the tenth time this has happened to me? *gets out a metal baseball bat and gets ready to swing it at computer*
.......*drops it and glares at computer* You're so lucky I'm too tired to waste the effort right now. But just you wait

*sigh* I'm quoting it before I go to bed. I swear I am, because otherwise the computer will win. But that just put me in the absolute worst mood I've been in in days. *bigger sigh* Okay, here we go

[Liz]

Dear. Lord.

I just typed up replies to over half that extreme quote and somehow screwed it up so my computer went back a page and erased it.

Oh God, that sux bigtime! *feels massive loads of sympathy for Tara*

*gets out a metal baseball bat and gets ready to swing it at computer*
.......*drops it and glares at computer* You're so lucky I'm too tired to waste the effort right now. But just you wait

That's another funny visual.

*sigh* I'm quoting it before I go to bed. I swear I am, because otherwise the computer will win.

Good for you!

But that just put me in the absolute worst mood I've been in in days. *bigger sigh*

XP Sorry, dudette.

[sojuske]

Aw *hugs Tara* Sorry to hear that. I had that before. Wrote a comment three times and the computer just kept erasing it. That was annoying, I can tell you that.

And hey, self confidence doesn't mean large ego. Mines been beaten down so much, I have problems taking well deserved compliments.

[Liz]

And hey, self confidence doesn't mean large ego.

Oh, I know.

Mines been beaten down so much, I have problems taking well deserved compliments.

A lot of my friends do, too. I don't know why some people hate themselves so much.
