QUOTIES!!!!!!!!!!
On this thread, post random quotes that family and friends said TODAY! They can be dialogue.
I'll start...
(we started trigonometry today)
Me: Trig is scary...
Classmate: No, trig is only scary if you don't know what you're doing. Therefore, yes, trig is terrifying.

In science we watch a lot of Bill Nye videos too. And Will, when the theme song comes on, says "Will! Will! Will! Will!" instead of "Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! And he says " Will Nye the Science Guy" it is HILARIOUS and we say it even when Will is not there.
In Orchestra we are playing a song called The Russian Music Box and Mr L. calls it Russian Mucis Box and when he says signature he makes the G prominent. It's funny. He says C and F sharp are accidentals which is (we had just talked about bathroom procedures) NOT what happens when you can't get to the bathroom in time. And I play cello and one of the other cellos said his worst nightmare was playing a viola (sorry to any violists).

GIANT SQUID OF ANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!~!~!~~~~~~!~!!!~!!!!~!!
I'm a violist. And actually, cellos and violas make more sense together than violins, because cello and viola clef are more similar and also their strings are in the same order.
But I know bass clef from upright bass, so when I play one of my friend's cellos for fun, it's weird because the fingering is messed up. So I can play cello if I'm reading viola clef, but I can't play cello with bass clef, because bass clef is engrained into my head as a bass, so when I look at a note in the top space, I either think "High two" (viola clef) "Highest open string" (upright bass) or "Fourth finger on the highest string" (treble clef on viola) but not "four on the second string". I don't actually normally think about music that way, by the way. And do not get me started on reading individual notes on guitar, because that is torture, because they read treble clef and I have treble clef engrained into my head as it is played on a viola. The bad thing is, I actually play guitar, so I pick out a lot of stuff by ear.
And treble clef is all weird and I would not use it if it was not so much easier than LEDGER LINES. GRR.
And I could make a case about how viola clef makes more sense than any other clef because Middle C is right in the middle of the clef (which should be like a no brainer, right?)
And also you don't need to buy an airplane seat for your cello.
Not that I don't love cellos (I really like any string instrument as long as it's not violin), my best friend plays cello, my favorite music teacher was a cellist, and they just sound so nice, but I'm kind of a viola player, so I like viola better.
I'm a music nerd.

Admin, why did my comment show up twice?
I really don't know why. It just happens sometimes. I don't know if it may be something about the way you submitted it or not. I could delete one of them if I could find them. They don't seem to be at the end of this thread.

@ L: Oh my gosh we never get anything done in my Social Studies class and Ms L. will say we can never talk again in her classroom but then next class we will be talking. I am sorry for Ms L. Have any of you heard of the Harlem Shake?
I saw Breaking Dawn Part 2 and I said,"Oh look, it's some scary cloaked people!" I was talking about the Volturi. In Science we were doing a line graph with deer and wolf population(this was right around when Breaking Dawn 2 was in theaters) and my Science teacher Ms D. said the wolves are werewolves and then everyone was talking about Team Edward or Team Jacob and it was awesomely funny.
When we went back to school after winter break my math teacher asked us what we did over break and I said,"My brother got a blazer,which is like a suit jacket but...no pants, and he's been wearing it almost every single day since he got it and Malik(the Dora/Diego guy) said,"Please tell me he wore pants" It was so funny
I got a personally autographed book for Christmas called DARWEN ARKWRIGHT AND THE INSIDUOUS BLECK and I read the first book as an Advanced Reader Copy

@Gollum: I love orchestra. It is so fun but 2/3 of the bass players are obnoxious. How many cello players are there? I was walking around at the Mint Museum humming Nightrider and doing the fingering on my arm. I am an orchestra geek. OMG I said something to my sister about orchestra and she said OMG THAT SOUNDED SO NERDY in a very exasperated tone of voice. It's so FUN to flaunt my nerdiness in my sister's face.
In orchestra:
Me (making conductorish movements w/ my bow): blablablabla orchestra blablablabla...
Irritating guy who sits next to me (and may like me): What are you doing Maggie?
Me: I don't know. I think my subconscious is controlling my arm.
Him: I think your subconscious wants to be a conductor.
Spammy says hmio. Help me I'm orchestra. Don't you like orchestra Spammy?

Because of redistricting, we have 9 ish cellos in 5th and 6th grade.

Why don't you like violins? I agree some of the violinists I know (my cousin included, but she's a cellist now) are snobby. Even my cousin who used to play violin and is a cello now is snobby.
(March 5, 2013 - 5:18 pm)
Oh yeah we have 5 cellos in sixth grade and 3 cellos in seventh grade and I'm not sure how many cellos there are in eighth grade.

Quote: Grant is getting high on Oreos.
My friend Grant who is really immature and seems to be a 7 year old mentally, had like 10 Oreos and was running around acting weirder than usual. It was funny. All my friends are either orchestra nerds, band nerds or otherwise weird.

From my comic, THE DREADED DREAD PIRATE RYLA:
"Mother, look at the thunder!"
That's Darryl speaking. I meant for him to say lightning, but I didn't have any white out handy, so I gave him sound vision powers.
And yes.. I said that today. My friends and I constantly quote it.

*le gasp*
That's actually a pretty amazing power.

If a teacher is not at school and doesn't want to get a substitute teacher they will send their students to other teachers. My friend thought that the orchestra teacher wasn't there today again (on Friday he wasn't there and on B-days he is at a different middle school) and so she went to her split class. My Humanities teacher (last class of the day) said that if we were not in a straight line like ducklings when she got out of the classroom, she would get one of those ropes they use at preschool to get the kids to walk in a straight line and we would have to use it. My Language Arts teacher says, whenever we are talking about something irrelevant,
Quote: This face (indicates his face) doesn't care.
And we could sit wherever we wanted to in Humanities because we had formatives (ugh) and Luke sat in the desk in the corner and said,
Quote: Corners make me feel smart. (He is actually very smart.)

At recess my friends and I run around yelling and talking and just generally being awesome. I wonder what the teachers think of us?
My friend said, "You are a stupid banana."
i have an Orchestra test on Thursday on C major scale second octave only (orchestra teacher didn't say that but I know the fancy words hahaha).
My brother says stuff like, "Sorry I'm a bit rusty on my French," and I told that to the guy who sits next to me in orchestra and HE said, "That's how the Doctor talks." I got mad at him
There is a guy in my Latin class named David and someone said David had been in my Humanities class at the beginning of the year so I asked him and he said, "There is always a possibility." It was so irritating.
When it is kind of wet outside we have recess at the bus lot and this guy I've known since 4th grade was following me and my best friend around apparently because all of a sudden he was next to us and he said, "Interesting very interesting" stalker.

Quote: You will live in a box and make 100 dollars a year.
A guy in my class made a fortune teller that said that.
On the school website I posted something about "I LOVE Doctor Who" and my Orchestra teacher replied,"Doctor Who?" Other Whovians will get the joke.
