More than 20 tribes have vanished from the timestream, and not all of them have been related tothe girl. @ ::black scaly skin glistens in the flame crowned with furious red eyes:: &So what. That is none of our affair. Stop meddling. You're getting to be as bad as the Doctor. @ Dragon>Timelord! Why to you interfere? @ :: The Doctor shakes his head:: My word, it's bigger thn Djarkka, and I'm much older. I don't think I'll be able to pop out of the guts of this one! < Love it!> @ ::the creature's voice grates on her spine:: & Really? Well then...perhaps you'd be interested in the fact that there is always a trace of Arcton energy at the scene of these massacres. @ :: The Doctor shakes his head again:: I'd like to see the guzzintas of that golliwog! & So what!! Why don't you just mind your own business fool? @ ::stares at the glaring eyes knowing they glare for her:: @ :: The Doctor steps forward and shouts at the huge dragon:: I come to defend my friend, to stop you from making a mistake. & And then there is the telltale omega wave signature :::he says significantly while handing over his notepad for the Chancellor to look at::: & ::Stands and walks over to Maximillian:: ::Yanks readings from his hands, and face goes pale as he reads them:: @ Dragon>Grrrrr.... ::fills the room with an outraged grumble:: @ Dragon> You dare to question the wisdom of the Amnria? & ::watches with interest:::: & ::Face contorts with a mixture of anger and guilt:: @I dare to speak the truth, to correct false information. You seek this young woman by mistake. She is not a space time gypsy. She is free from your jurisdiction. & ::Returns to other side of desk and hastily gathers papers, keeping the readings:: Mutters..."I must be going, I have affairs to attend to @ Dragon> Be warned, timelord. Your knowledge means nothing here. & You're a fool Maximillian, always were. Drawing foolish conclusions from thin air! @ Dragon>The ancients have decreed. There shall be NO exceptions to the Tel'Nay! & :::arches an eyebrow at the Chancellor's assertion::: @No, but my interpretation of hat you know might be very importnt indeed. You take your mission so seriously, you dare not err when the universe may hang by a thread. @ Dragon> All transgressors of time shall pay. & Acting like that saint Andros! That's what you're doing! Siding with commoners, not full blooded timelords! @ :: The Doctor paces about as he begins his rant::: Oh, you take it so seriously. You must defend the integrity of time, mustn't you? Perhaps the people have come to prefere the line of t hinking of their owm peers. @ Dragon> The universe is but a thread upon a thread timelord. My duty is to see it is not unwoven... @ You know that we are very lucky for the universe to be here at all, the odds are against it. It hangs delicately. @ Dragon> due to arrogance, greed or ignorance. & ::Growls:: The people have grown soft! What they need is a firm hand, to teach them where their place is! ::Stuffs papers into pockets, furious.:: @You must avoid disruptions of the timestream, to retain chronologic order, but your adjustments might go too far, you may a trained incapacity, did you ever consider that? & :::mutters something non-commital at the Chancellor's last statement then takes his leave::: & I need to use the vidcom, if you don't mind leaving. :: Turns back on Max. @ Dragon>It is irrelevant! <<%>> @Trained to restore order, but your zeal might seal your doom. This young woman is not within your jurisdiction. She was too young when the event took place, she is not of their tribe, you MUST spare her. @ Dragon>The female traveled where she was not to be.

He finally got mIRCdownloaded and installed. we're using my brother's computer, now ours since we paid to get it out of the pawnshop pawnshop? I'm hoping he can go for an e-machine soon. Cody, you have that, right? I'll have to reconnect the old one so I can get online to one of my email accounts and change the password so I can log onto it via guest yes, etower 500 yep, Joel pawned his computer last year how do you like it, cody? ohh, i've been so crazy today, never mind me :) like it Back to school already Bryn? our older one has a virus on it, apparently, we will eventually need to wipe it, or buy a new computer yes today was the first day :::sigh::: how did it go? what yearZ? she's a junior only complant is it prefers IE to Netscape which I was all ready familar with just fine, but it was boring because we don't really do anything the first day Already? Is she driving? yup, it's kinda scary you're driving, aren't you brynna? i have yet to finish my tests to get the license, but i passed the course good good College planning coming too. Any ideas what or where you'd like to go? i know! i've already been sent a brochure...and application for credit cards Oh God. :( they took away my license LOL I mean LOL to the credit card Well, just remember never charge more than you have in the bank right now. sorry to hear that, cody:-( Oh, poor Cody. I don't have a license. me too Cody, it's a bummer not to be able to drive Another thing I gotta fight to do. ty David but I can see it, would not be able to take hurting somone Yeah, just don't be one of those silly kids who goes off with friends and wraps themselves around a tree. i'm not sure where i want to go to college, but right now I'm exploring in-state colleges except for the University of Idaho I can understand that too, cody How are you on finances? Able to get a scholarship? jen, you should send brynna those avatars you're thinking of using to represent the celestine kids, so she can see what they look like Oh, right. Ok. I think they're on this computer. well i don't think i have too much funds saved up yet, we're still working on that, although i've got some savings bonds new pictures of the kids? :) Bryn what's your e-mail again? and i don't know about scholarships yet thebcat@hotmail.com savings bonds are better than nothing Thx. definately It's good. I found in-state colleges more affordable though. my sister is going to college in september and she was able to get a few scholarships My folks had to put 4 kids thru college at the same time. ouch! Yeah, well we made it. And we all worked part time. Always best to go to college in area where you plan to live, nothing like "old school ties" i've got a few near home that i could join: Eastern where Morah is going, Washington State University, and University of Idaho But my brother dropped out after one semester in a really expensive school. Took years to pay the loan. yikes, i'm definately going to have to be working What about the campus in Seattle? Is that Western? It's on the other side of the state from where i am, but it's also a possibility, University of Washington, you mean? Money aside, try to pick a school that teaches something you want or lots of things so you can decide. Yeah, that one. tee hee, i'd have to keep it a secret if i went there, or all the cougar fans around here would get me!~ lol LOL and i'm a cougar fan too... Do you have any idea what you'd like to study? i'm not entirely sure yet, but I have lately been leaning towards some kind of Performing Arts, particularly theatre/musical theatre... intersting but I don't know for sure..I know, it's a wierd thing to jump into tv guide says the ravens may actually have a chance this year, Jen however i'm interested in sciences as well at least to get into the playoffs and language Cool. My college had a good Fine Arts program. I loved their performances. best learned by doing unless you plan to teach Sciences and language can get you lots of job options after school. heehee, i could be a teacher, Eastern specializes in that and both my parents are cool Performance is great for confidence, public speaking, motivation... but it may not pay well. that's very true My sister was a music major. exactly, and that's why i'm not sure. see, i know just from listening to people's stories that the arts, hard to make living acting, I know She changed to pharmacy because so few jobs. especially theatre aren't consistent But even if you don't make a living at it, studying the arts really does broaden your mind. I graduated with a psych degree and now I design websites. so if i really do want to go for it i'm planning to keep a well rounded education so i can find other jobs if it just dosen't work out :) neat! Sounds good. Open yourself up to internships and pt jobs as well. Explore your possiblities. Some jobs you find you just hate. my sister is having kind of the same problem, although she knows she wants to do something in science right now speaking of which, i hope i get hired soon :( The pt jobs will actually help with acting College anymore is just an extension of highschool. A lot of 22 yr old grads don't have a clue what they want. Where are you applying? Session Close: Wed Aug 30 23:57:55 2000
