ALRIGHT. Haha. Ve
ALRIGHT. Haha. Very funny. VERY FUNNY. Joke's over, okay? Who did it? WHO DID IT?
Whoa, take a chill pill!
How can you tell me to be calm?! WHO DID IT?
How about you explain yourself first? Because I don't think anyone has any idea what you're talking about.
Fine. *deep breath* SO YESTERDAY-
Not starting in all caps would be good.
*glares* So yesterday...that good, Mellie?
Yup! Hey, wait a minute. Isn't that a song? *Googles So Yesterday* Wow, it is! It's by Hilary Duff....oh, I think I know how it goes...If it's over, let it go and come tomorrow it will seem so yesterday, so yesterday. I'm just a bird that's already flown away...
Now who's off topic?
Sorry. Go on!
So yesterday I found a note on top of my gummy bear jar. Taped to the note was a gummy bear. A PINK gummy bear. A pink, Valentine 2014 Limited & Deluxe Edition Pack guumy bear. Don't ask me how I know that, but I make it my business to. Anyway, that type of gummy bear? SUPER RARE.
Rare as Parseltongue. Rare as fire power in the Hephaestus cabin. Rare as bioelectrically manipulation blocking devices on Lunars. Rare as-
Owlgirl, get offa this thread! Mellie and I made it!
Okay okay, sorry, had to seize the opportunity for some fandom references...
*shoves Owlgirl off the thread so that she'll have to wait until after the thread is published to see what the note said*
Where was I? Oh yeah, the rare gummy bear. I was shocked! Those are hard to find and really pricey! I carefully untaped it and put it down. I was pretty happy, and also confused. I mean, who would go through the trouble to buy a super rare gummy bear?
A special someone...
Shut up! I'm not there yet. Then I read the note.
Drumroll please.
It said:
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved an AE like me.
I once was lost
But now I'm found
You stole my heart
Yet I feel so free.
-A Special Someone
You can see how it plays off of a popular folk song, trying to stay with the rhyme scheme, which they stayed fairly true to. However, the rhythm is a bit out of sync. Notice how the last line has too many syllables...
This is not poetry interpretation! This is a SERIOUS matter!
Kaykay!
This is either A) a prank because nobody in their right mind would have a crush on me, because I'm against the whole idea of crushes or B) it's not a prank. I'm thinking it's A.
It would be funny if it were all a prank...but I'm thinking B.
*almost barfs* I'm CRAZY AND I'M PROUD OF IT. Nobody crushes on proud crazy people.
Look around you, Grace! Almost all the AEs are crazy! And they're still crushed on!
That's an unsettling point.
*thinks hard* Maybe you actually have TWO admirers.
WHAT?! One is unbelievable enough! But TWO?! Impossible!
You know how on the floor there was a bunch of paper shredded into tiny bits? Maybe that was someone else's note, or maybe two notes, but whoever left the note you found tore them to bits so you wouldn't see them! Either that, or it was a draft. It does seem kind of unlikely that there would be more than one.
*bangs head repeatedly on the table* THIS IS TOO CONFUSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! Was it a crush? Or a prank? What was the crumpled piece of paper? Is this all some sort of bizarre dream? ARE CHICKENS ALLOWED TO WEARS SOCKS?!
What?
What?
WHAT?!
WHAT?!
What...
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?
SOMEONE GIVE ME AN ANSWER! JUST SOMETHING!!!!

I won't say which CBer I am, but I get just a little bit annoyed at religious songs because... You know.
(July 19, 2016 - 4:28 pm)
what?! WHY?!?!!!
(July 19, 2016 - 7:10 pm)
Oh, I didn't mean to be offensive in anyway...it was just kind of a parody, like Grace, as in the name...I didn't think about it being religious or anything, sorry...
(July 19, 2016 - 7:20 pm)
Oh, you weren't offensive at all! Don't worry about that!!!! I just think religious songs generally are so sweet, thoughtful, that i wondered why you didnt like them. I was a little over dramatic, sorry about that!
(July 20, 2016 - 6:02 am)
Its just because some people (like me) are Agnostic or Athiest (no, they are NOT the same thing), and can feel offended or awkward when religion or religious things are mentioned.
(July 20, 2016 - 10:40 am)
Owlgirl here. The person who posted under "Grace" was not my AE Grace- I did not make that post. I was the @You person.

Joan: Puck. . .
Puck: What?!?!
Joan: *Stares at Puck*
Puck: It wasn't me! I promise!!! (Although, I do love me a good prank. :) I swear it wasn't me!!! Besides, I only like boys! And I already have enough of THOSE having crushes on me, thank you very much.
My guess is that it wasn't a prank. Unless. . .
*Turns to look at Ariel*
Ariel: *Puts hands up in defense*
It wasn't me!!! I promise! I mean, sure, I like watching people do pranks, and I encourage them, but the only girl for me is SAPHIRA.
Puck: If it wasn't a prank, then my answer is B. Oooh!!! *Squeals* GRACE HAS A SECRET ADMIRER!!!!
Ariel: I agree. It's totally B.
Puck: And, I think I know who her "secret admirer" is!!!
Joan and Ariel: Who?!?
Puck: *Giggles* I'm not telling!! Unless. . . Grace would you like to know who I think your "secret admirer" is? Or maybe Mellie would like to know. . .

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound . . . "
However, the person who used the alias "Grace" is correct. If Devil Owl had not shoved St.Owl off of the thread, she might not have liked the religious song either.
WHO CARES?
I do! Allusions and hymns vs. folk songs . . . this is excellent debate material, Dev! I should deliver it to Hèmîn to use as a topic of discussion in her sane counterpart's thread.
IT WASN'T ME WHO WROTE THE NOTE!
Oh. I forgot about the note.
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE NOTE!
I was talking about the song!
I DON'T EVEN LIKE GUMMY BEARS! WASN'T ME!
Process of elimination. It wasn't me either. That's Devil Owl and Feather checked off your list . . .
*gasp* YOU PUT MY NAME FIRST!
I mean Feather and Devil Owl! FEATHER AND DEVIL OWL!
DEVIL OWL AND FEATHER IS SO MUCH BETTER!
This is not the time nor the place to debate the order of our names! Signing off--
NO, I WANT TO WRITE THE CAPTCHA! IT'S XEWW!
What are you talking about? It's cvdd! Right, Clode?
*cvdd!*
(July 19, 2016 - 9:21 pm)
This is my real name.
(July 20, 2016 - 10:19 am)
I know it's your real name-- I was referring to the person who posted under the alias "Grace" in order to state her dissatisfaction that this unknown poetry writer made an allusion to the song "Amazing Grace" in the comments.
(July 20, 2016 - 7:43 pm)
Which is the same person.
(July 21, 2016 - 10:05 am)
Oh, all right! It just also stated that "I'm not saying which CBer I am," making me think it was an alias.
