porcupine-ologist 29 Report post Posted April 28, 2012 YES!!! I was silently hoping you would post a picture of a turtle and you did! I'm glad it was a good day. (I keep coming back to your post to stare at the turtle.) Oh my! I've never seen that animal before, it is so cool. and very cute! I like this picture of a fennec pup. quote: This animal needs a name! If you want you can choose it. AHHH!! You've made me all smiley today. Do you like the name Milo? I just like the sound of it and also it is the name of the main character from the book The Phantom Tollbooth. It is a children's book but it's still really good, I'd still recommend it!

Jamie R. 3 Report post Posted April 30, 2012 ^^That is so cool! To compound on my exciting/nerve-wracking study abroad trip to Lancaster, I was accepted to an archaeological field school in Lincoln! This is extremely exciting, but something else to plan for. But right now, I'm just gonna be excited. (I'll add another "excited" here for good measure.)

kaoir 22 Report post Posted April 30, 2012 porcupine_ologist: Yeah, Milo is perfect! <3 I will add it to its identity card. I've just ordered "The Phantom Tollbooth" from Amazon (the english version, woohoo). I have read on Wikipedia that "Critics have compared its appeal to that of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.", this has aroused my curiousity! Jamie R.: CONGRATS! I'm happy for you! Before studying marine biology, I thought I would study archaeology. Underwater archaeology to be precise . Anyway, I understand your enthousiasm! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
porcupine-ologist 29 Report post Posted May 1, 2012 kaoir: Cheers for Milo the Turtle!! I wish him well in his travels when he is released. (or maybe he is a She?I can't tell) And Wow, you ordered the book! I really hope you enjoy it! (I don't want to disappoint you with my recommendation. ) Let me know when you've read it and if you liked it. *fingers crossed* Jamie R.:What an exciting time for you, and a great accomplishment to be accepted to the school (I'm sure it's not easy). Congratulations! (as with Milo, i also wish you well in your travels. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaoir 22 Report post Posted May 4, 2012 ^^I don't know if Milo is a male or a female because "he" is immature.. but in my mind it's a male. And yeah, I will let you know if I liked the book. (mouahaha <-- fiendish laugh) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thirtytwo 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2012 I just want to start off by saying that honesty is rewarded. So today I was out with my dad and on the way home I tell him "You know the Steinway Piano Gallery is just down the street over there." he tells me we should go see it but I told him I was afraid we'd get kicked out because we have no intention of buying anything but he convinces me to go anyway. So we stop in and this guy come up to us and asks what we're in for. I told him that we actually had no intention at all of buying anything and I just wanted to look at the piano's because I loved them so much. he asked if I played and I said yes so then he tells me. "Well why don't you come with me over here." so he takes us into this room and turns on the lights and up on the stage was a concert grand piano and he says to me. "Why don't you play for a little while." so he leaves us and I sit down at the piano and it was the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. I played seven Regina songs and almost started crying when I played Samson because it sounded so beautiful. So now honesty is my new policy because sometimes you'll get to play a concert grand piano Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sweetness in my lungs 71 Report post Posted May 10, 2012 Loved the grand piano story!! =D I got in to a vocalist program at my school! I auditioned last week and my voice was not good at all, but I got in anyway! Iiiiiiih!! =D It's basically six singers in an ensemble that sing à cappella and in harmonies. I'm gonna learn so much about my voice it's insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
