Ashy! Let's talk Watership Down :D
So! Eferafa or however you spell it. That place is pretty spooky, innit.
Who's your favorite character? And can you guess mine? >: D
Oh yeah, Efrafa is pretty bad. Be glad Darkhaven isn't on the books nor the movie, though ;D
Silverweed FTW! And I bet yours is that Cowslip fella ;D
Yes, it's that Cowslip fella. ;P
Silverweed's a poetry freak.
Once I drew him with multicolored eyes...many years ago...
Tell me that you still have the drawing. TELL ME!
Go hunt it down and burn your eye sockets. It's on my DA.
What have you been drawing lately? ;D
Nothing worthwhile, I just drew an Easter picture but it's pretty lame.

Did you have the misfortune to see it?
Lame according to you ;)
I think your art's good (I've seen it in your art thread and DA).
Tell me the things you like to talk about; I'm already getting awkward :P
This is not related to the conversation y'all are having because despite drawing a lot, I don't have much comment on art. So, I'll comment on something else, which is I noticed on your profile that you're a Slytherin. I'm a Hufflepuff. I've heard that Slytherins and Hufflepuffs tend to be surprisingly likely to become good friends despite the differences in their personalities. Had you heard that? If so, what do you think of it?

Not yet, but your art is really freaking amazing. "Misfortune" is an inaccurate term and you should apologize... to yourself :P

My two closest friends are
Hoffelpumps Hufflepuffs, so I don't doubt it.
I only found out because I was talking bad about Hufflepuff to them and then they went all "I am a Hufflepuff" on me.

Kidding.
Here comes the memes.
Nevermind, you're at school. Get back to work!
I'm at lunch.
And I feel like $#!%.
Shut up, Ashyboy xD
(That was in response of your misfortune comment).
(I sincerely hope you feel better soon).
Arright, TheTaleOfSierraMist.
Oh no, you stepped into Rain's territory ;D
It's been so long since I was in a level of school where we had a time specifically for lunch. I used to write terrible songs when I had those, because I am was an emo dork with no friends. :D
That's unfortunate.
I sit alone, so I normally just read, but since this website is not banned (as Loamhedge was and it was categorized as a game) I can come on here now.
This is the background on my school laptop. >: 0

And your image doesn't work :P
Getting on the internet at school wasn't much of a thing when I was in school. There were some school desktops we could use for research, but no one had laptops and our phones (if we had them) were not often capable of getting on the internet. I was sort of secluded from the other kids by choice, though. It was partly anxiety, but it was mostly that I was very full of myself and considered interacting with them to be a waste of time I could use to do something creative.

^That's my desktop, except I took a screenshot of it so it will be still.

I'm secluded by choice as well.
Heck no way I'm sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with other people while eating. If you're close enough to touch me, you're too close.
I'm technically at school too so I guess talking would be fun. So... what is your favorite lunchtime read at this point?
Right now I'm reading The Dark Portal by Robin Jarvis.
A classic mice vs rats story.
Sounds cool!
Well I hope you feel better, soon. I have to go to an actual school building myself. :-\
You guys don't seem to understand.
I'm in a school building.
I'm not in a class, though, I'm in the cafeteria.
YOIKS SCOOB< I HAVE TO GO

I love that series! I read and re-read those books in elementary and middle school and still have the trilogy. It's at my parents' house though. It's a pretty dark series but so good.
Edit: story time. I got into The Dark Portal series when I was reading a Redwall book in class in the 4th grade and my teacher asked if it was one of the Dark Portal books, but she couldn't remember the name and tried describing the first book, and I was really confused and said no, it's nothing like she described. (It sort of is, with evil cats and rats and large buildings and farms but she threw me off when she mentioned London and magic.) So she promised to try to get the name of the series and went to talk about it with our para-pro. The para-pro remembered the author and back then, we used to get read to for about a half hour every day after lunch recess, and the teacher brought The Dark Portal in a few days later and read it to us over a week or so. I loved it, but I don't think anyone else did, and the teacher even had a hard time with some parts because she'd forgotten how graphic it can be (unlike Taggerung, where Tagg refused to skin another creature alive, mice do get skinned in The Dark Portal). So I asked my family for the entire trilogy for Christmas and got it. Read them so many times but not in the last ~11 years. I recommend those books. They're really not any more graphic than the Redwall books, with skulls on pikes and similar themes of good, evil, peace and violence; but the mood is much darker, so it feels different.

Yes!!!
If you ever want to talk about it without spoiling it because I'm not even half way through the first book, this is the place.
I checked to see if the series had an official forum but it doesn't.
Love to! It's been a long time since I've read them, but I've read them so many times that I remember them pretty well. I've been wanting to re-read them for quite some time but I'm working through the Redwall series atm.
Do you have a favourite character so far? I think mine was Piccadilly.
Edit: It does have an official wiki (http://deptfordmice.wikia.com/wiki/The_Deptford_Mice_Wiki)! It's not exactly active; no one's made an edit in over 6 months. But every page has spoilers so please don't go through it!
*Scribbles notes*
I'm looking for interesting books to pick up. It's been a while since I found any decent fantasy. The teen section of my library is just full of absolute garbage, with some books that have compelling plots but apalling writing mixed in here and there.
READ IT

Morgan all the way.
And then Madame Akkikuyu.
If I had to pick a good guy, I would probably say Piccadilly. Or Aubrey.
I'm trying to like Oswald, but he just annoys me.
Morgan is my favorite.

Sounds like my kinda series. I'll have to see if I can find it.
What's a para-pro?
A para-professional... back in elementary they didn't separate the special needs kids from the rest like they do in middle and high school. So all the special needs kids in each grade were put in one normal class and the para-pro was responsible for sitting near them and sort of mentoring them throughout the year. So they did most things with us as a class but always had the extra assistance. In the 4th grade I just happened to be placed in the class that had the two special needs kids. I'm not sure about the other years, but I remember that year specifically because that was the first year of standardized testing and I helped one of them with his homework in the after school daycare program we were both in but then my brother and I got kicked out and we didn't talk any more.
Oh, we have them here but they aren't called that, just "helpers".
The special needs kids also aren't separated here, in my middle/ high school.
HEEEEYYYYYY, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?
I'M HERE
im waiting for my art class to start, we're drawing portraits if our model doesny walk out on us
I'm at work. Guess that counts?
Ima sittin' in a Study Hall, hoping nobody sees me typing this up. Though I am in the back, so I guess that lessens the odds just a tad.

This situation is superior to the others.
You win one free handshake from President Ashleg.
Don't I get a handshake? :'( I was there too.
WHERE IS YOUR EVIDENCE, "RUSSA"?
Amber can vouch for me.
I refuse to fall for Amber's petty lies.
Then Jukka can vouch for me.
But Jukka has two "k"'s in her name, and two plus one is three, and there are three sides on a triangle meaning that Jukka is a liar as well!
Whaaaaat? That makes no sense.
Sense backwards is Esnes which spelled backwards is "sense" and thus I am correct.
y u do dis
Because I am correct. >:0
no ur not
Yes I am. >:(
Is it because you're "president"?
:-*
Get back to work.
K.
*Cracks whip.*
Adorable, yet pitiful, effort to act superior.
But I am. Since I'm no longer in school.
Age does not equal superiority. If it did, my grandfather would be a king.
Completion=Superiority. I could have dropped out.
Einstein dropped out...
So does that mean you're going to drop out or something?
Yes?
