16:12 Mango-chan President of Neopets was/is a scientologist
16:12 AMD what
16:13 Mango-chan this is technically old news

16:13 Mango-chan

16:20 Michael Dembeck :3
16:20 Michael Dembeck kekekekekkekekek
16:20 Michael Dembeck you're welcome adam. X3
16:24 Bucket I feel unclean
16:29 Bucket I wonder if my old friend is reading this does he feel unclean as well?
16:50 starcat|ss2 oh gawd blondies are so good @_@
16:50 starcat|ss2 mmmmmmmm.
16:50 Bucket What's in the ones you're eating?
16:50 starcat|ss2 my couscous turned out a bit dry, though, I let it boil a bit too long accidentally
16:51 starcat|ss2 and it'd need more spice next time, the flavor's not too strong
16:51 starcat|ss2 chocolate chips and walnuts
16:51 starcat|ss2 Simple and ohmygod so delicious.
16:51 Bucket oooh
16:51 starcat|ss2 One bowl, too.
16:51 Bucket I got me a packet of just add water muffin mix
16:51 Bucket but I need to devote this evening to the bloomers
16:51 starcat|ss2 They're pretty rich, too, so I don't feel bad about only having one or two
16:52 starcat|ss2 (because that's all I can handle at once)
16:52 Bucket heh
16:52 Bucket I baked from scratch last weekend. The cocoa scones from Kitchen Princess 4.
16:53 Babelglyph :O
16:54 Babelglyph well, if you want to bake from scratch REALLY easily, these blondies are fantastic
16:54 starcat|ss2 http://smittenkitchen.com/2006/11/blondies-for-a-blondie/
16:54 Mango-chan hmmmms
16:54 starcat|ss2 hmmms?
16:54 Mango-chan I have been inspired to go back to trying pixel comics
16:54 starcat|ss2 :D
16:54 Bucket I hope they taste as delicious as they look!
16:54 starcat|ss2 Oh, Mango
16:55 Bucket Inspired huh?
16:55 Mango-chan yes?
16:55 starcat|ss2 Do you know how many pags 10,000 words would be
16:55 starcat|ss2 *pages
16:55 Mango-chan hm
16:55 Mango-chan I will estimate one moment
16:55 starcat|ss2 kk
16:55 Bucket You're gonna do NaNoWriMo?
16:55 Babelglyph No, not exactly
16:55 Fei Lin Depends on font, size, spacing and dialog, if you're on about computer pages.
16:56 Fei Lin Depends on font, size, spacing and dialogue, on a computer.
16:56 Babelglyph well
16:56 Babelglyph yeah.
16:56 Mango-chan for font 12 doc etc
16:56 Babelglyph Which is why I'm going for words rather than pages
16:56 Babelglyph I want to write a short story.
16:57 Fei Lin Ah, so that;s why I didn't see it...*is making way too many mistakes around here already*
16:57 Babelglyph ?
16:57 Babelglyph It's not a mistake.
16:57 Babelglyph Don't worry about it
16:57 Babelglyph Really ^_^
16:57 Babelglyph But see, my dad wrote his first book in a similar situation as I am in now
16:57 Babelglyph I've got knitting to work on, too, so I'm only going for a short story.
16:58 Babelglyph I've got a pretty good idea though.
16:58 Babelglyph I don't think it'll turn out fantastic but it should be at least a mildly-interesting read.
16:59 Mango-chan Estimate 16 to 17 pages depending on how much conversational dialogue you have.
16:59 Babelglyph Perfect.
16:59 Babelglyph Thank you. ^_^
16:59 Mango-chan no problem! :D
17:00 Mango-chan I got about 17 pages with 10,000 words and mostly description
17:00 Mango-chan well
17:00 Mango-chan 16 and a paragraph
17:00 Mango-chan ok brb
17:02 Babelglyph close enough
17:02 Babelglyph anything more than a few lines counts as a page
17:02 Babelglyph I was hoping it'd be around 20
17:04 Babelglyph hehe, maybe if this turns out decent I'll see about submitting it to an anthology
17:04 * Babelglyph is totally using Mimi Hanyu as her pen name
17:04 Babelglyph ROFL.
17:04 Babelglyph Google for Mimi Hanyu returns not a Witches 5 thing
17:04 Babelglyph but a profile of mine on a website
17:05 Babelglyph Awwww, and on the second page there's starcat's wikiiii
17:05 * Babelglyph squeals
17:05 Babelglyph Okay enough of that
20:13 Mango-chan OMG Marianne is AMAZING
21:12 Babelglyph Marianne?
21:12 Babelglyph Oh
21:12 Babelglyph the doll?
21:13 Mango-chan yes
21:13 Babelglyph hehe :D
21:17 Babelglyph I think she's gorgeous. <3
21:18 Babelglyph yay knitting <3
21:18 Babelglyph I can't wait until my armwarmer is done so I can start on my wings <3
21:19 Mango-chan oooh
21:20 Mango-chan you can knit wings?
21:20 Babelglyph
http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/PATTallete.html
21:23 Babelglyph ^_^
21:23 Babelglyph They're little, but I think they'll use up the rest of my purple yarn nicely <3
21:28 Babelglyph I want to make a set of these in orange and green
21:28 Babelglyph (armwarmers)
21:28 Babelglyph so they're like pumpkins~
21:43 Mango-chan those are so cute!
21:43 Babelglyph Have you seen the armwarmer pattern I'm using?
21:44 Mango-chan i haven't
21:44 Babelglyph
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13…
21:44 Mango-chan oooh
21:44 Mango-chan so when you knit stuff you don't knit squares
21:45 Mango-chan you knit it into the pattern?
21:45 Babelglyph o_O
21:45 Mango-chan I'm thinking sewing
21:45 Mango-chan with bolts
21:45 Mango-chan and stuff
21:45 Babelglyph O_o
21:45 Babelglyph OH
21:45 Babelglyph Oh oh oh I get it
21:45 Babelglyph Like
21:46 Babelglyph knitting squares and using it like fabric?
21:46 Mango-chan yes
21:46 Babelglyph No, you make the shapes
21:46 Babelglyph Sometimes you sew things together
21:46 Babelglyph But I don't
21:46 Mango-chan aaah
21:46 Babelglyph er
21:46 Mango-chan that's neat!
21:46 Babelglyph Not here
21:46 Babelglyph This is circular knitting so you knit tubes
21:47 Mango-chan *nod*
21:47 Babelglyph there are tons of different ways to make stuff shaped differently :3
21:48 Babelglyph Sweaters are usually more than one part
21:48 Babelglyph knitted separately and sewn together
21:48 Mango-chan *nod*
21:49 Babelglyph but I'm going to stick to things knitted in one piece for now <_<;
21:49 Mango-chan aaah. Sounds good!
21:49 Babelglyph yup!
21:49 Babelglyph Oh
21:49 Babelglyph Those wings
21:50 Mango-chan I'm all sad I found out today that I have a spot in the back of my mouth that could turn to a cavity.
21:50 Babelglyph you knit one at a time, then add on more to make the bar at the top!
21:50 Babelglyph D: aww.
21:50 Mango-chan the wings!
21:50 Babelglyph Dentist visit?
21:50 Mango-chan they're so pretty
21:50 Mango-chan yeah
21:50 Babelglyph well
21:50 Babelglyph I don't know if it'll actually help you but that Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste has really really worked for me
21:50 Mango-chan they just said to keep my mouth clean and that it wasn't a problem right now.
21:50 Mango-chan hmmm
21:50 Babelglyph helps to rebuild enamel
21:50 Mango-chan ooo
21:51 Mango-chan I will watch out for it
21:51 Babelglyph :D
