I'm sorry to hear that Kaida. About FIVE birds, I mean. Well, and the other stuff.

As far as geeky proposals go, I prefer to go the more traditional route, because I think that geeky proposals are a little easy to mess up and look like a fool. Although clearly it worked for my cousin, I don't think I'll be sending a proposal text through the phone-wave or anything.

Also, aloha.

Hi! Sorry to hear that, Kaida.

The cockatrice thing is pretty awesome though. Just be careful that you don't get petrified.

How now, my dear forum fellows!

Good lady, Kadia. My deepest pardons to you. And, my word. Seven birds of feather to care to. How ever do you manage such a task? Such a task be done not easily!

And so, that merry week be upon us! I pray you, this Week of Randomness shall be a hearty one! I am not one to quarrel on such an occasion, but I believe myself to be a winner this year!

But still! A good fight for us all! Have we all a proper good week, filled with many laughs and witty retorts that ye all shall put forth!

I must now fare thee well. As I have been awake all this night, and sleep doth call to me soon.
Farewell, good fellows.

Ho!

My, I thought myself to be wandering here on a day like any other--ne'er did I think this could be the beginning of the fabled Week of Randomness! Yea, it is indeed a week to be glad, and I am filed with such shame in that I shall have minimal time for it until I have vanquished the finals of old. Truly, they are a terrible beast to behold.

And with that, I go! Onward!
May the Triforce be with you.

My wishes to thee, Saber! That thou, and any else in such a situation, might vanquish those beasts of finals in a quick and timely manner!

And to I, that I may be free of much scholarly matter this week of our Randomness.

And to all of thee, that we shall have an eventful, witty week indeed. Hear hear!

Oh gracious Josiah, so kind to host
This most random event of seven days
Surely, now many people shall post
and those that refuse will be left in a haze
for when they return, such a strange sight
they shall see, these words make no sense without
knowing the theme! Try as they might
to understand, I have not a doubt
confusion will be all that remains
Such despair they shall feel, I fear
they heart'ly will wail and cry out in pains
but we shall do naught but laugh at their tears
T'was they who failed in our joy to share
And thus, in turn, the fault is only theirs
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I'm too tired and stressed for the Week of Randomness, yet despite this my competitive nature means that I must make this post a monologue, telling all of my motives and the back stories despite how completely unnecessary it is. My stress comes from loss, loss of friends and love to the beasts of depression and suicide. I must defeat these beasts - Banish them from my life. And that is why I have begun to alter my outlook on that which is life, so I can- You know what? My girlfriend committed suicide less than a month after a friend of mine did, I'm in no mood to participate in this. In any case, life moves on, and I'll survive.

In other news, there is a new puppy in my house. It has yet to be named. It was given to my sister by her fiancée for her 25th birthday. I'm also getting a powerful laptop tomorrow, as long as shipping doesn't get delayed again, so that's nice.

Sorry to hear about your grandfather, Kaida. That sucks. Good luck with finals, Saber.

Hi! The weather is looking to be pretty nice today, unlike yesterday, which was really rainy. It reminded me of some of the rainstorms in Florida, which can get ridiculous. Not to mention extremely hard to drive in. Which is a problem when I have to get to and from work. But the higher ups at my college aren't about to let a little rain, or even a full blown hurricane, cancel classes. Not even if the phone lines are out and half the roads are blocked by fallen trees. I wonder if the people who make those decisions actually go in to work on those kind of days... Today though, today is a nice. A good day for going to the beach, or hiking, or any kind of outdoors activity. It's also a good day for monologing, which doesn't seem to be a word, though it should. Since how else can you describe the process of giving a monologue?

Moi,

Man, it feels like I'm cheating today. I mean, if you have seen any of my other posts here, I'm always going on and on about whatever I did today, the other day, etc, etc. My usual dialogue is monologue. This means that I have to talk for even longer about nothing in particular or something obviously not related to the subject at hand just to show that I'm actually doing today's post correctly and to the rules. It honestly feels like I'm just rambling on longer than normal. I mean, not that that's not normal, 'cause believe you me, I can ramble. Ramble on and on and on.
I could even ramble on about today and how it seems like everyone else has gotten a head start on today's posting. Just because I'm in school, I get taken back a bit since my time is restricted. Between school, homework, chores, napping, and anything else I'm doing, I sometimes barely even get time to go on here!
At least I did do something with my bit of free time today. The school doesn't really want people to be posting on forums like this during school, so instead I worked on today's picture at school. It looks so much nicer since I was able to do it on Photoshop, which the school's computers do have.
Heck, those school computers have a lot that I don't have access to at home. Especially programming stuff, cause I would love to be able to work on Python at home. Programming sometimes seems to be a bit zen. You can spend hours on compiling and debugging a program of yours and time just seems to fly by. Suddenly it's dark out and your parents are wondering why you didn't come out of your room all day.

Also I learned that I got accepted to a college that I was looking into, so that's cool.

Man my fingers are tired, writing all this and all. You would think with the amount of rambling I do on a normal basis, I would be used to it, but not really. True rambling takes time and practice. You have to perfect your talent, get great at talking on an on about subjects with out getting too off on a tangent, but still differ a bit throughout your writing that your not repeating the same word over and over. I mean, it's not really monologuing if you're just saying 'potato' over and over. What's the fun in that? Potato potato potato. See! It's boring! It's bland! Much like a potato!

Anyway, time to relax my fingers. Stay radical, awesome, bodacious, and most excellent people!

Greetings! This is a time for use to rise up and throw off the shackles of laziness and post! Let us drive back the terrible beast of forums inactivity and once more claim these glorious boards as our own! Just as the sun is shining brightly in the sky, so our courage will shine like a star!

Salutations!

Hear hear, Josiah! I have already defeated my beast of burden, procrastination, and have brought my newest picture to my art thread! I traveled far and wide, through snow and more snow, found the lair of the monster, and eliminated it from my day! A most triumphant win it was! What a glorious battle!

Also, I have been posting daily, and with such determination and dedication in the week to come shall I come out victorious during this Week of Randomness! I am sure of it! And my contributions of my grand drawings will add to the glory of my triumph, as my amazing depictions shall strike and awe everyone who has the honor of seeing them.

And now, I must take my leave, for there are other issues and other creatures that I must eradicate before the day's end. Farewell, and stay most radical people!

Is what you said really true?
this may sound lame,
but that's really a shame,
and we all wish the best for you.

There was a time on this date
And the day was getting quite late
When Josiah was alone
He tried to post from his phone
But the glitches made him irate

But he still had a good day
Many cool things he could say
But instead of dialogue
He'll post on his travelogue
It's just more convenient that way

Hey, sorry to break up the randomness, but the reason I haven't been around this week is not because I loathe randomness but because my girlfriend's dog was put down a yesterday and I've been attending to that. Sorry to bring the mood down during this celebration of wackiness, just figured you guys ought to know that I didn't just abandon you.
