Sometimes you'll only want results that include an exact phrase. In this case, simply put quotation marks around your search terms. E.g. "cool video games"
If your search term has more than one meaning (bass, for example, could refer to fishing or music) you can focus your search by putting a minus sign ("-") in front of words related to the meaning you want to avoid. For example, here's how you'd find pages about bass-heavy lakes, but not bass-heavy music: bass -music
Serious props to all the Wiccans who come out here and say it. I myself am atheist but ex-Wiccan. I disagreed with more than I agreed, so I chose to take my practices and beliefs as a secular philosophy instead of religion. But seriously, I LOVE all world religions. Christianity bothers me, but it has good ideas. Islam is beautiful but misunderstood in the West and misused in the East. I have to agree with Taoism and Wicca the most though.

Right here with you, Lyon. We had a storm yesterday, no school. : ) I love snow days on Fridays, it means no weekend homework. Except for the stuff I didn't do on Thursday, meaning 19 math problems and an Italian sheet.
I'm doing good, just hanging out. In roughly an hour I'm going to Parisi, this place where I'm doing this work out school thingy through the lacrosse department... but then I have riding! Yay!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in a while. College has been keeping me really busy for the past few weeks, since it's been midterms for about that long (seriously, why do the call the things "midterms" when you take them three weeks before the end of a 10-week quarter, or two of them in a quarter? Makes no sense...), and I've got finals coming up in another two weeks. But at least I got to register for my classes next quarter this morning! And I'm really excited about one of the classes I got into--it's called "Celtic Civilizations of the European Middle Ages". I can't wait to get started! I even managed to get into a writing class that's linked to it, which means that we'll be writing papers and stuff about what we're learning in my Celtic Civilizations class. The only downside is that I had to get up at 5:30 this morning so I could get all my registration stuff set up before registration itself opened at 5:55... >.< I think I might be coming down with something, too, since I've got two rather swollen lymph nodes and a stiff neck. Ugh. I really don't need to get sick right now. I'm too busy.
Oh, and here's an interesting fact of the day: today marks the 318th anniversary of the beginning of the Salem witch trials.

Hehe. *loves middle school--no midterms*
That sounds like a really cool class! I must admit, though, I've always found I enjoy studying Ancient Greece and Rome more than Europe. I'm an expert at Greek Mythology, and the lifestyle was fascinating as well. Not to mention one of my favorite book series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, has a lot to do with Greek Mythology. In fact, the series is centered around it.
I'll pray for you Tek, if I remember... I've been really spacey for the past while. Spacey, with songs from Wicked stuck in my head. Wicked was an amazing musical, by the way. Have any of you seen it?
On another note... for a S.S. project I have to do research on the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, and the social studies teacher that's doing my project (there were two--the TSFF and the San Francisco earthquake of some time) brought up a list of victims from the fire... it was depressingly long. There was this one name that stuck with me, Rose Oringer. She was my age. I've taken her and I'm going to make her the heroine of a story. In fact, I used her for my English homework. I had to create a new best friend for Dom from The King of Mulberry Street. I used Rose's name, and gave her the nickname "Ringo".

That sounds like it'll be an interesting story, Crewe. Sorry, I haven't seen Wicked, but I must say that it's definitely one I'd like to see eventually. And the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is another one that's on my list of books to read eventually. Haven't seen the movie, and I actually don't plan to. I've seen too many books ruined by their movies that I don't want to risk this one. Now, that other movie that's coming out soon--Clash of the Titans--looks to be along the same sort of vein (Greek mythology and all that), and I think it has potential. Again, I've seen too many movies that looked great in previews and weren't to say that a movie looks good based on the preview; anymore I just say that it has the potential to be good. Ugh, I just realized how cynical all that sounded. I guess I'm just really critical of movies.
On a different note, I'm now officially on spring break!!! So excited, since that means I can sleep and get (hopefully) a couple of my sketches done and get a few more books read. I just finished with my finals this morning, which makes me so happy. :) Now it's time for me to return this quarter's textbooks (though I'm going to be keeping my copy of Beowulf and one other book, full of Old English poems and stories, as well as stories and poems written all the way up to the time of Shakespeare) and go buy the ones for next quarter...

Hehe, you got that right Lyon. Unfortunately mine ends tonight. Classes 9:30 tomorrow morning for me, but at least I'm really excited for them this quarter. So what did everyone do/ is everyone planning to do for their spring break? Mine was busy, filled with visits to my old high school, track practice there, and my crew club. I also got a new prescription for my glasses, touched up the highlights in my hair, and had a dentist appointment. And laid plans to make a skirt for that medieval club I'm involved in... In short, I had lots of fun :)

I've experienced bullying before, but never to the extent where it's made me feel like taking my own life. I've always had at least two or three close friends who have always made life worth living in spite of any hardships, so the handful of times I've come close to contemplating it, I've always been able to pull myself back from the brink. And I think the reason it always seems to take someone's death to make people care is that the death calls to attention exactly how severe the problem is. People as a general rule tend to prefer glossing over ugly details and pretending that things aren't as bad as they seem. Something as tragic and un-ignorable as a death acts as the wake-up call that so many of us need to take off our rose-colored glasses and see the problem for what it really is, in all of its hideousness.

What I hate about this is the guy that said that he "didn't think that something like this could happen here." And it made me realize, parents all around the world are going to watch that and say, oh, that could NEVER happen here. We're not THAT kind of people. And meanwhile, there kids are bullying or being bullied...and then when it happens again there the whole cycle will repeat itself..

We had an assembly during gym on bullying.
Then we were gonna have an actual assembly... but didn't. My guidance counselor lied to me. xD
Personally, if people started trusting their friends more, this might work. If they told people that cared about them what was going on, then they could have help.

I think that the problem mainly stems from the fact that the adults don't want to acknowledge the bullying. They would much rather pretend that everything is fine, and that they can't get involved, even when it happens right in front of them.

That's good! I know exactly how it is. I find that's how most vacations tend to feel: you're glad to go on them, but then you're glad to come back home again.
What kind of camp was it?

Just an all-around, rustic camp. It's called YMCA Camp Mohawk. My two best friends have gone there for years, and they finally convinced me to come, too. It was so much fun. I managed to get myself about a thousand bug bites, a blister from riding lessons, and a bruise on my elbow from archery, but it was still one of the best experiences of my life.
I cried during the last breakfast.
