Been thinking of Lithy recently, since we're talking about the lithosphere in geology class. Hey Lithy, did you know that you were a giant semi-molten layer of the mantle just beneath the crust of the Earth? *nodnod* _________________ Self-styled Forum Grandmother, because I hand out nicknames and hugs whether you want them or not. ^_^

I always get that too, but with lithification. The process of sediment being compressed into rock. Geology rocks! _________________ He who does not eat cheese will go mad. ~ French proverb.

Speaking of stuff like that, I run into the acronym "Asa" from time to time. Also, the Charleston, WV baseball team I grew up supporting was the "Charleston Alley Cats". Ravenna is an amusingly common (maybe just because I'm looking for it) word, name, or other sort of thing in the real world. I see "Yates" and now always think of The Lady (it's not even her name anymore XD). I dunno, a LOT of things remind me of forumites. ^^; Ya'll are pretty much my preferred clique, despite that I'm so often an isolationist. _________________ . Dubbed "Usagi" by AsA .

Right, and I started rereading Redwall again, so - of course - I thought of Nu. ^_^ _________________ Self-styled Forum Grandmother, because I hand out nicknames and hugs whether you want them or not. ^_^

I've been meaning to reread that. Speaking of I recently acquired The Bellmaker and hardcover copies of Marlfox and Taggerrung. Joy!
I've also been running into a lot of characters named Asa in my recent book reading. _________________ Keeper of Gaia and all the books on Earthsong

I've been thinking of Tenshi recently because I've written an essay involving the fiddler crab Uca pugnax. For some reason Uca comes out as Usa in my internal narration ^_^; _________________ He who does not eat cheese will go mad. ~ French proverb.

I'm reviewing trigonometry and thinking of AsA a fair amount. Hooray for solving triangles! _________________ Dubbed "Fish" by Asa. Wren->Fish

...Why?
Thought of Nu because we're supposed to get five inches of snow. Sorry Nu...
And I thought of Tam-tam, because we're not the ones who need it. _________________ Self-styled Forum Grandmother, because I hand out nicknames and hugs whether you want them or not. ^_^

I bet I can guess why. You know, the steps you use for proofs. Angle-Side-Angle. ASA.
I've become resigned to the fact that it never really snows here. *sigh* It'd be nice, though. _________________ Keeper of Gaia and all the books on Earthsong

...Oh yeah. I suppose it's been too long since my last math class.

It snowed quite a bit today so I went to the park and took some photographs, it made me think of Tinu, Asa and Tenshi. _________________ Britland as dubbed by AsA

My brother introduced to me a new website - I don't think it actually qualifies as a webcomic, but it seems similar to xkcd.
Anyway, I've been wasting my time there, and this one made me think of Nem.
After you've seen that one, go back to the beginning and check them all out! _________________ Self-styled Forum Grandmother, because I hand out nicknames and hugs whether you want them or not. ^_^

I hope this isn't too irrelevant... But I checked out that site you linked Asa, and it's quite entertaining! I do admit.. so far a few have gone over my head.. or current knowledge.. Yes! I admit I looked "nihilism" up in the dictionary! o.O
Hm.. I suppose this is the point I'm supposed to talk about something that reminded me of someone here.. Augh >.< I don't know anyone well enough yet to say that anything has! D: That would be slightly creepy too...Sorry! I DO think of people though! I'm not heartless! ^_^ _________________ Dubbed Bryn by Asa
