Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?

[SamBurke]

This is the most recent thread, right?

I just got started on this webcomic, gooood stuff. Love the background, especially Zeyphr's backstory.

[HalfTangible]

And how do they make you feel

All tingly inside. Fear -_-

[Alagaesian]

Going to try to update this week, but I have APs the next two weeks, so if I can't, I can't. Sorry.

BUT, afterward, considering that I'm a senior heading to an Ivy League school and half my classes don't even meet after APs, well...

Same with me, except my three tests happen to be on the first three test days. My other three classes are band (no homework), physics (easy homework), and creative writing (homework I'd end up doing anyways). A similar thing happened with me last year, especially since I was in a bunch of senior-dominated classes. I spent the last two weeks of junior year playing euchre and writing.

[SamBurke]

So, how often does this update under normal circumstances?

Once every Friday.

[SamBurke]

Thanks, Kyuubi!

Sorry I couldn't update today; I have to study for APs. But once they're over (And three of the four, including the two hardest, are this week), I'll basically be done with school, which means that...Let's just say that I'm probably going to be bringing in my laptop so I can work on the comics in school during my four new free periods and leave it at that, okay?

[Marnath]

Cool.
Good luck on the tests!

[Devmaar]

Don't worry about it, good luck

[CWater]

Good luck!

[Asta Kask]

Fingers crossed!

[RdMarquis]

Best of luck to you.

[Lix Lorn]

G'luck, Coffee!

[Silverraptor]

"Study, study, study, study those information packed APs."

[SamBurke]

Oh yeah. Do your best, man, get a really good education, so you can come back and entertain us lifeless masses with webcomics.

Um.. you know coffee is a girl right?


Having said that, Good luck coffee; you will do great I am sure of it

[CoffeeIncluded]

Thank you, everybody.

I think he was using the slang version of man, in the same way one would say "Those guys" even when there are girls in a group or "Dude not cool" even if they person they were talking to isn't actually a guy.

Thanks, Kyuubi!

You're welcome. Sorry I didn't respond sooner but I didn't want to eat up even more of the thread.

I hope it goes well coffee.

:Read my own post again:...>_< I forgot the

Was meant as humour, now excuse me while I go edit the post.

[leakingpen]

eat your favored fragrant fruit or veggie slowly while studying (oranges are the most common, i prefer jicama) and then scarf one right before the test. Its proven to increase memory.

[Alagaesian]

Huh. My three tests happen to be this week too. What sucks is that two of them, psychology and chemistry, are both on the same day. And that day happens to be tomorrow.

Good luck, Coffee, and may we both get some college credit out of this crazy week.

[BeethroBudkin07]

While we're on the subject of tests, I happen to have a big one on argumentative tests this Thursday.

Go get 'em, Coffee! I'm cheering for you on the sidelines!

I find it mildly amusing that this isn't the first time this has happened in a Murphy's Law thread...

Can't really gauge how serious you're being there (my guess is that you know I know (that I'm not telling the truth)) but I was aware, I'm just one of those people who insists on using "man, guys, and duuude" for gals as well as males. I kind of have a "thing"* about gender issues, (which is probably not evident at all in the theme of the fancomic I've been doing) pronouns and linguistics so I do this for kicks.

*The "thing" there being an interest in how society reacts to gender and not any sort of resent for men or women as groups, just to be clarify I'm not a raving sexist/chauvinist/mysogynist just a rather curious person.

(I've lost which thread and page I took this from now (a trip to the board rules forum for some lurking could be in order here) but it was in response to me using man/dude/guy or a variant of these in reference to Coffee and to Marnath politely pointing out the symbol under her sig in case me using a male term for her bugged her after this potential faux pas. Pointing this out as trivia, not to start a disucussion discussion.We're all so darned considerate here in the playground sometimes... )

See you when I've got something more relevant to post, Coff et al!

AP's! I got Lit and Calc. But after that nothing! pretty much. One week then done.

[SamBurke]

D'oh. Critical Failure. Oh, and yes, I did assume you were a girl. I call everyone dude. If that offends you, sorry.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Thanks, everyone. And it's okay, Sam. Update Friday!

[Marnath]

Hmm, not a lot of discussion recently. I've been really busy, for my part. I promise I'm still very much interested, I've just been working like 70 hours a week for my dad.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Update tomorrow, guys! And guess who now has 4 free periods to work on the comic when she brings her laptop into school?

Oh...Oh I know, me?

[/badjoke] though I do really have free periods tomorrow...well actually the whole day, ah the joy of not having exams tomorrow.

Seriously now, that is great Coffee; since you seem to be happy is it safe to assume you did well on your tests?

[Alagaesian]

Yeah, how well do you think you did? And which tests did you take, anyways?

I took Chem, Psych, and Calc, and though I'm pretty sure about 95% of my psych class got screwed by the open response section, I think I did a fairly good job on all three tests. I'll be surprised if I don't get a five on my chem test.

Now to find a way to make this somewhat on-topic. Hmm. Have you ever found that the classes you take in school tend to influence what you're writing about, especially the AP ones, since you're doing homework from that class nearly every day?

My personal examples:
AP US History = 50k-word story about a guy who falls in love with a slave girl and then gets involved in the revolutionary war.
AP Bio = Many short stories involving genetics and physiology and the effects of genetic engineering on society
AP Psych = The current story I'm working on, a very long tale involving three main characters, one dealing with a developing antisocial disorder due to being desensitized by violence, another with amnesia, and the last with severe Moral Myopia and self-control issues.
