You keep saying "try" but I don't hear a "I failed to find one".

And don't make where I live some fancy special thing either. That won't help the cause.
Waltz
September 19, 2009 9:03 ()
Well when I said "I ended up either getting from my friend on the net/my sis or giving up", that means I failed to find on in the real world, doesn't that? D;

It's in English, and English is more popular in your place, so it should be easier to find. D;

I'll try asking one of my friend first~
She's read lots of e-books, so she might know...
Edea Sorceress
September 19, 2009 17:44 ()
That sounded more like the last resort "if" you failed.

You make it seem like I don't live in the same country.

Keep trying.
Waltz
September 20, 2009 11:26 ()
D; Nope~ I did try to search for them in real life first, but then it took a lot of time and I couldn't find anything, so I started asking my friends on the net. And I got them.

And yeah, I can tell than I don't live in the same country as you do. D;

And uh, of course~ D<
Edea Sorceress
September 20, 2009 19:26 ()
Good for you.

We'll see. State your country.

Then be confident.
Waltz
September 21, 2009 16:03 ()
D:

HCMC, Vietnam. D<

I'm confident~
That's why I'm sure I can't buy it from the bookstores here. D<

And we now have a challenge. Go beat it to a pulp by getting the book.
Waltz
September 21, 2009 23:26 ()
BEAT UP! *terry's engrish voice from KoF"

Edea Sorceress
September 23, 2009 18:11 ()
It's a "King of Fighters" game reference. Don't mind, Angerus.
Waltz
September 24, 2009 14:03 ()
Oh... ^^"

*is running around*
Hm... What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you read this: Give and take?
D;
Edea Sorceress
September 24, 2009 23:02 ()
The first thing? The word "Bargaining" comes to mind.
Waltz
September 25, 2009 12:18 ()
Bargaining...?
...
D;
Hm... That doesn't help much~
What's the second thing then? ;3;

*hic*
Why can't my teacher give me something a little more... specific? x"<
Edea Sorceress
September 25, 2009 19:29 ()
I don't know but I guess it didn't in terms of "exchange". Hmm...a second idea....if we look at the words, giving is willful in various messages of appreciation, thanks, and other stuff. Takig is more self centered and a little forceful.

Is this assignment suppose to be about giving an example, explaining, or what?
Waltz
September 25, 2009 23:54 ()
the first thing that comes to mind when i read " Give and Take " = karma
Angerus
September 26, 2009 17:01 ()
Yeah, I know. D';

Uuuh... She only said: "Write me an essay on Giving And Receiving/Taking."
That's all. D8
I think I'm gonna try narrowing down... Like instead of trying to put everything in, I'll just pick a small part of the idea to write, since she didn't say we have to write a long one anw. D;

@Angerus: D; Why karma? D;
Edea Sorceress
September 27, 2009 3:42 ()
Good point. Find something and stuff it with backup info.
Waltz
September 27, 2009 17:51 ()
Backup info?
D=
Edea Sorceress
September 28, 2009 2:34 ()
The stuff that bulks up the essay so it won't seem too small.
Waltz
September 28, 2009 14:53 ()
I know I know~
But I don't really know what I can put in? Owo
Anw~ I handed it in~ x3
It's really bad though~ ;3; Geez~
Edea Sorceress
September 28, 2009 14:59 ()
At least you get a grade instead of nothing. That's the important part....or the part they keep telling.
Waltz
September 29, 2009 13:23 ()
Yeah~
But bad grades aren't really nice~
Especially here where most students see it as a matter of life and death. D8
Keep telling? D;
Edea Sorceress
September 29, 2009 19:09 ()
Teachers and staff are the "they".

Life and death hmm? It's only one bad grade in an area you're not good in. The rest of the work should support it.
Waltz
September 30, 2009 13:05 ()
Oh~ ;3;

Yeah... But then some of their parents want perfection~ D; And so do them, I think? Plus, if that bad grade is too much... Like if you get <6.5/10 for its overall... D;
Edea Sorceress
October 1, 2009 1:34 ()
Well, that just says something if they failed that badly. Isn't there a way to redo work you failed in? Though, mostly that goes for essays....
Waltz
October 1, 2009 13:49 ()
Uh yeah, some teachers will have some sudden tests for them. D; Or tell them to go to the board and do some exercises... or recite the last lesson... D;
But then it depends a lot on the teachers. Some are very strict, so they rarely let students get a second chance. D;
Another thing is that if I got my overall of some certain subjects lower than 8.0 [Hm... or is it 8.5? D8], I would be kicked out of the English major class and transferred to one of the normal classes. D:

Uuuh... D; I have to hand in another essay this Saturday~
*kicks Penelope and Odysseus* ;3;
Edea Sorceress
October 1, 2009 17:29 ()
Sounds like some silly honors thing....which makes interest of that topic fall very very quickly.

Good luck on that one. I didn't take any class called Mythology, but the people that did take it amused themselves by thinking of it as one big dramatic soap opera.
Waltz
October 2, 2009 14:32 ()
Uuuh~ ;3;

x'D Lol.
Well... it's not like I want to. D8 Geez~ We aren't allowed to choose the subjects. D;
I have to pretend to be Penelope and rewrite a part of the story~
*stabs self*
Edea Sorceress
October 3, 2009 2:33 ()
That? I didn't like that so much. You should be fine if you have the general idea of what person that seem to be and wing it.
Waltz
October 3, 2009 7:40 ()
D;
Yeah~
But then the original story has too much conversation~ D; The author used only simple words to describe the characters~ So we have to find out more about them through those conversations. Dx
Geez~
Edea Sorceress
October 4, 2009 1:03 ()
If you have that idea, how is it working on that?
Waltz
October 4, 2009 10:17 ()
I'm working on it. D<
And I'm gonna finish it soon... [even if I don't want to. D; Since the deadline is tomorrow, it's better if I hand it in today. D;]

...
We have invaded the Discussion Box. D8

I'm reading When The Elephant Dances now~ x'3
Edea Sorceress
October 4, 2009 22:43 ()
I see.I am working on my own exam. It's not bad.

I wouldn't call it an invasion....but it's better than random nonsense that has little to do with anything at all. Like all people do is randomly come it, shout something meaningless of colored animals or some stupid fan craze with a hit or miss odd of ever really returning or anyone bothering to answer back.

What sort of book is that? I know it's not something I'll pick up to skim through if I saw it.
Waltz
October 5, 2009 11:09 ()
x'3 I handed it in~
And oh~ D= Exams are bad. D< *kicks exams*
I wish you luck~? x'3

"Some stupid fan craze"... ;3;
*is ashamed* x"<
Well at least I posted it in Shout Box~
And yeah~ Though it still feels kinda weird~ x'3

It's about a family along with their neighbors during the battle between the Japanese and U.S forces in order to possess the Philippine Island~ x'3
Edea Sorceress
October 5, 2009 17:26 ()
It's rather easy and depending on how well you remember the lessons, it should take less than three hours. I'm almost done with five more questions left after two hours of working on it.

Wonder if the "feeling weird" part is some guilt.

I see...a little vauge but I guess that sums it for the most part.
Waltz
October 6, 2009 11:53 ()
I'm no good at remembering lessons. x"<
It usually takes me nearly an hour to memorize the Philosophy lesson. D;
But then after a week, I will probably forget it. x"<

... x'<
I guess? ;3;

Uuuh... It's kinda hard to explain~
Probably because I'm no good at summarize either. >_>
But it's a nice novel~ ;3
Edea Sorceress
October 6, 2009 22:07 ()
I don't remember much either but that's what shoving notes in chapter marked places of the book is for.

For a guess....you certainly mope about it.

Like I said, I doubt I'll pick it up, but you have fun reading it.
Waltz
October 7, 2009 9:20 ()
That book kinda creeps me out, even though I didnt read it,the way you described it is...weird because...That happened a really long time ago and the thought of fighting over Philipines..

Just the thought of that happening here again...
NO WAY WILL THAT HAPPEN.

Unless... there will be a World War 3.
Minami
October 7, 2009 14:44 ()
@Waltz:
D; I tried~ It worked a bit~ But there are too many notes. D8 In fact, I put too many unnecessary details in my head that I forgot all the main things. ; ;

D; I'm not moping~

D< *takes a hammer out* Read it~ D;
It's good~ ;3;
And thank you? x"3

@Minami: ... It did happen. :/
Though the author did put some fictional details in it, most of the parts are true.
Edea Sorceress
October 7, 2009 19:11 ()
Ah...I see.

Fine. If I see it, I'll try to pick it up and skim to see if I can still hold it with interest. If not, it's back to the shelf.
Waltz
October 8, 2009 4:46 ()
Minami- There will be a World War 3.

And it will be full of zombies.

XD
Azkhadellia
October 8, 2009 4:48 ()
And I'll be ready with old records and golf clubs.
Chich
October 8, 2009 5:29 ()
I've got my machete.

Damn it.

Now I was to go play Zombie Apocalypse.
Azkhadellia
October 8, 2009 8:09 ()
@Waltz: Dx
It's nice~ ;3; You will love it~ ;3;

That World War 3 somehow reminds me of GITS...
Hm...

Anw~
Since Halloween is near~
Do you guys have any plans yet? X"D
Edea Sorceress
October 8, 2009 11:26 ()
If you think I will enjoy it then I will not.

-pretends to hear nothing of war and zombies-

I work Halloween night so there honestly aren't any plans. Maybe give those pathetic trick or treaters horrible dry dark chocolate and raspberry granolla(sp) bars or two year old halloween candy but I think the candy was thrown out by now. The numbers of costume runners dropped anyway. Last year, about five or so bothered to come to our door and we had king sized Butterfingers at the time. -shrugs- Their loss.
Waltz
October 8, 2009 14:26 ()
I know it happened.

I just dont want another one, but...

The zombie thing will be awesome if ever it happens.
Minami
October 9, 2009 6:02 ()
I don't really have plans yet.

Usually my friends and I get together to watch some scary movies and eat candy.
Secret_Sun
October 9, 2009 6:28 ()
Going to watch that one scary movie? I forgot the name but there has been commercials about where they think their house is haunted and they set up a camera. I heard some people left the theater on initial screening because it was that scary.
Waltz
October 9, 2009 7:53 ()
There's no way I'd be able to handle something that scary.

Hopefully you'll be able to remember the name of it...
Secret_Sun
October 9, 2009 11:36 ()
Got the name. Paranormal Activity.

I'll be passing on that movie. I heard it might have an effect to be scared of being in your own bed room.
Waltz
October 9, 2009 13:19 ()
...
D:
Are you trying to kill me, Waltz?
I have to stay at home, alone, every night. D:
I love watching ghost movies....
But I always try to avoid them... x'<

And you will have to enjoy it, Waltz. >D

x"< Hm... So no one dresses up and goes out, playing trick or treat anymore? x"<
*bites Waltz* Don't be mean to kids~
[Though I kinda hate kids, too. <_<]
