Heh. I got creative, and wrote this. I like it.


Sometimes You Need A Break...
-
"For the third booping time, Kerra, _do you want to come see this cob?_"
Phoenix demanded, stamping her foot.
"Hmm?" Kerra asked distantly, not looking up from the swarm of carrot
beetles she was playing with. "What cob?"
"This computer cob! It is just too cool for words!"
"Oh, fine. But can I play with my beetles after I see it?"
"Yeah sure fine _just come look at this!_"
"Okay, sheesh." Kerra stood up and brushed some stray vegetation off her
fur, following Phoenix to the kitchen. She grumbled all the way. It was
spring, the Beelacanths were blooming, the cloud butterflies and carrot
beetles were out, everyone was out enjoying the weather, and all Phoenix
wanted to do was stay in the kitchen and play with her cobs.
'I betcha she's _sweltering_ in there, sitting by the fire with all that
Purple Mountain fur...' Kerra thought as Phoenix entered the kitchen and
gestured impatiently for Kerra to hurry up and join her. Kerra picked up
the pace and blinked at the thing Phoenix was grandly gesturing to.
"This is it?" Kerra asked, suspiciously eyeing the strange contraption.
"What is it?"
"It's a _computer!_" Phoenix said. She reached over and turned it on.
"A computer?" Kerra echoed. "You mean, one of those things the Hand says
she uses to come to Albia?"
"Yeah! Check this out...I can get connected to the Internet!"
"The whatternet?"
"The Internet! It's this giant web thing of all these humans--"
"HUMANS??!?"
"What's wrong with humans?"
"Oh, nothing, except they nearly destroyed Albia twice!!"
"These are good humans. Anyway, the Internet is this big web thing of
all these humans that get together and talk on these forum thingies and
some of them run these site thingies where they put other thingies."
Kerra looked confused. "Say what?"
"Never mind."
Kerra suddenly jumped back, covering her ears, as a loud, grating squeal
came from the computer. Phoenix seemed unfazed. Kerra had to wonder whether
Phoenix was deaf or something.
"That was just the modem connecting to my service provider, Kerra,"
Phoenix explained calmly.
"The what connecting to your what?"
"Never mind. Here, lemme show you this newsgroup, you'll never believe
it."
"A what group?"
"A newsgroup. It's where people discuss stuff."
"Oh." Kerra peered at the list of messages on the newsgroup that Kerra
had brought up. "Norns? _Norns?_ This is a newsgroup about _us?_"
"Yep!" Phoenix said cheerfully. Kerra blinked slowly and reached for the
coffeepot, taking a long drink. Then she and Phoenix browsed through the
messages.
"Hey, look at that one," Kerra said, pointing to one post. Phoenix
clicked on it. The two read the message, and were silent for a long time.
"Why does she feel pressured to write those stories?" Kerra asked. "If
she doesn't wanna write them, she doesn't hafta."
"Yeah," Phoenix agreed. The two Norns stared at the message for a little
while, then Phoenix powered off the PC.
"C'mon," she said. "I wanna go look at the cloud butterflies!"
-
Just a little breath of fresh air...

W-e-l-l, that's a pretty good interpretation, even though it wasn't what I
had in mind. What I had in mind was just a cute little story inspired by
some of the responses to my little rant a while ago. I wanted to write
about some Grenorn characters surfing the web and reading my rant, and
reacting in their own way. Just one of my twisted ways of looking at
things. But that's a pretty good interpretations of my story, there - even
better than what I had in mind. Kudos.

My stories have people thinking. This is good. :)

Cool story! Cool idea.

By the way, what if a norn *really did* get on the internet and started
posting messages? Would anyone even realize it? Even if the norn
stayed within the limits of its own language ("push food," "Mike angry,"
etc.), people would think it was just some human goofing off.

Yes, very annoying. But when people start flaming the norn for his/her
messages, the norn wouldn't understand, and would just keep on posting and
responding! :)

I think she's trying to say that we sometimes get a bit too obsessive

This is Emy's mother. Due to the sudden outbreak of nornish sayings on this
newsgroup, Emy has gone completely loopy and was checked into a mental hospitol
yesterday. The doctors hope the best for her, but as of yet she is still in a
permanently norn-like state. She will not be online for quite a while, so don't
expect any posts from her.

I think it would be nice to make Eem our mascot, with the single exception
of posts. A highly frustrated person with a serious problem who gets a
"bibble Eem yes newsgroup" might just kill all his norns and commit

It was because she was so overwhelmed by the weirdness of seeing a
newsgroup all about Norns...think about it. If you were a Norn with a human
level of intelligence, and you took a look at agc, how would _you_ react?

I don't drink coffee in any form. I think it's awful, but that's my
opinion.
I do drink a lot of soda, however. That has caffeine. I'm not exactly a
hyper person, though, even with caffeine.

Hmmm... I am going to be away from my computer all of next week. Once I get

I also think that we should be an equal oppurtunity newsgroup and have a female

I know someone who hates telephones so much, that whilst there was
someone whe really fancied, the following happened:
Day 1: Get given phone number
Day 2: Walk 1/2 way to the phone box & go home
Day 3: Walk to the phone box, and go home
Day 4: Walk to and enter the phone box, then go home
Day 5: Walk to, enter the box, pick up phone, insert money, then go home
Day 6: Walk to, enter box, pick up phone, insert money, dial & go home
Day 7: Meet person again...
Day 8: Repeats...

When I was little I was afraid of telephones. I was especially petrified of
dialing a friend's number that had a zero in it. I was sure that dialing the
zero would make the operator come on and yell at me for playing with the phone!
(dialing a single '0' in the U.S. connects to the local operator -- not sure if
that's true in other parts of the world)

Guess my mother embedded the "the phone is not a toy" speech a little too deeply
into me! To this day, I'm not a big phone talker.

I hate talking on the phone. I almost never answer my phone when it rings
(unless I'm expecting a call), but not for that reason.
The reason is because I don't get many calls to begin with (usually not
even more than about 3 a week), and when it does ring, I'd say that more
than half the time it's "Are you satisfied with your long-distance
service?" or some other solicitation or wrong number.
I don't need that. I'm tired when I get home from work, and I don't need
that. I have voice mail, so if it's someone I know, they know to leave a
message, then I always check to see if there are messages once the phone
stops ringing (usually not, or it's a wrong number). Then if there is one
I'll return the call.
So excuse me if I don't go jumping up and running all the way into the
kitchen to pick up the phone every time it rings.
Don't even call me, phone advertisers. Just hang up the phone, go away,
and leave me alone. :)
{Would you believe I like spam email better than phone-spam? At least
there I don't have to talk to them and I can just hit delete! :)}

I always feel so bad for the poor telemarketers. They're making,
like, $2.00 an hour to get cursed off and have people slam the phone
down in their ears (not nesissarily you, but people) and if they don't
make sales they get fired. It seems pretty crappy to me.

No, if they do catch me, I try not to be rude. I try to say that I'm not
interested at this time, etc. and I would never curse.
But sometimes they don't let me get a word in edgewise so I don't know what
else to do but hang
up (I don't slam it, though).
I agree, it must be a terrible job.

I wasn't saying *you* nesissarily...I just mean that people do that...

The problem with that edgewise thing is, they're reading from a
script, and they're supposed to get done witha certain ammount of
commentary before you're supposed to reply <G> Doesn't always work.

I never get phone calls. Know why? Guess.

Yeah. I got a new line for my computer. My friends ACTUALLY tried
calling it the first three months, thinking they'd reach me. They've
given up

You know those *really* tiny tea lamps? The ones you use in Oil Burners. All I
know is that my room was flame free, I go downstairs, I go upstairs, My room is
ablaze.

Time taken 5 minutes MAX.

I was alone in the house as well, dammit

My dad did that once to the garage too...tea lamps and all...perhaps
*that's* why I don't like them...

Strangely enough I still love incense. Despite the 2 fire engines and the
ambulance and the whole of Woodthorpe watching me as I stagger out of the house
in suprisingly little clothing

My mom says that they must weave pot into my incense I burn it so
often, but I don't believe I've ever done too much serious damage with
it. May I ask if your parents massacred you?

So how's the room now?
Ruined? Singed? Smoke-damaged? Water-damaged?

naw, this happened about 2 years ago, I now have purple walls with a black
carpet. Only problem is that my sister's white cat comes in and moults
everywhere, still, it's not like you can actually *see* the carpet.

heh heh, my incense addiction is extremely useful whilst carrying out illegal
and smoky activities in my mate's room.

And no, they were quite calm about it all, as opposed to when I told them
about the dope and they were so angry that they refused to talk to me. The end
of this happy tale was me taking an overdose of my anti-psychotics and being
taken to hospital with a pulse rate of about 120 (I think, I could be wrong), I
can't remember what happened for the following two days except that there was
these hospital peole talking about stuff whilst I tried to meditate.

What was I talking about again?

I have the same problem. I have a black couch, dark brown floor and,
well, white walls just because our dumb landlord won't let us paint
it. I kind of meant how was it afterward, but *shrug* I had to say
now... *growls at self*

I guess that's why it's a paradox. [I don't quite understand it either.]

after the fire, hmmm

The walls (previously white) were black/brown with white patches where
sellotape had been holding up posters. There was a ton of ash everywhere from
about 60 books which had gone up, no curtains, no bed, my clothes were smoke
damaged the ceiling had interesting patterns on it from the smoke and yet there
was no damage to the rest of the house. (I closed the doors and windows)
