Hello
just had to say pirates of the caribbean is awesome. i have the background music on my Ipod Courtney  -Daughter of   Water  20:04, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

i love playing it on my clarinet. im thinking about putting a vid on youtube. if i do i'll send you a link. chello's are cool. i like the way they sound. one thing i love about the wiki is that you can talk to aother fans from around the world. i think that is really cool. oh and i like your picture it's cool. talk to you later Courtney  -Daughter of   Water  03:33, April 2, 2011 (UTC) i have been playing the clarinet for 3 years now. in grade 7 it is mandatory to take band and i chose the clarinet because it sounded cool to me. then i loved it and i went to band camp, took band in grade 8, went back to band camp, and now im one of the three best clarinet players in my school. accutally my uncle found a clarinet at a garage sale for 5 dollars and bought it. it took some repairs but it cost ALOT less than buying a used one at a music store. do you own a chello? Courtney -Daughter of   Water  21:24, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

sorry, haven't been able to get on. i noticed that dark helped you with the categories. i've had alot of projects in school. and to answer your question no i do not go to a music school. in grade seven you have to take every option class so that you get a scence of what everything is like. and thats why every student gets band. i would've picked band anyways though. can i add you to my friends list? talk to you later Courtney  -Daughter of   Water  22:46, April 7, 2011 (UTC)

if i had to chose one of those options im not sure whether i would chose theater or band Courtney  -Daughter of   Water  19:51, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

You seemed interested in the Camp Half-Blood Role Playing Wiki. It's here if you wanted to look. Thebiguglyalien (Yell at me here) 22:16, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Do you mean how d you add a category to a page? If that is the case, scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and you will see a small button that says "add category," but dont make up your own and only use official ones or people might get mad at you (it happens sometimes).

then you copy this^^ (take out ALL spaces, my message, and underscores!!!!!!!!! except for between "span" and "style")

and go to prefences. Inside it will have a yellow box that says signatures (make sure you check "custom signature"). paste the modified signature in here, and then click SAVE on the bottom. Your signature will now show like that.

You can edit the colors br replacing goldenrod and/or silver with another color, like blue for example. you can also change the fonts by replacing papyrus and herculanum with arial or something. you ucan also replace "talk" with something like "click here for my talk page. idk.

To answer your question, no. That's why it's called "AU". AU means Alternate Universe. Like no magic on Harry Potter or something like that. AU stories are about ordinary life.

I sort of said it as a joke, but you can go ahead and use it. Most of my blogs come from ideas I get while posting about different topics. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  18:33, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

It is pretty easy. All you have to do is place the link inside one set of brackets and then what you want the link to say. For example, lets say I was posting a link to the character page at disney. i would post Go to this link. The link will appear as Go to this link.

It has to do with the way mortals are described in the series. For example, Annabeth calls Elizabeth Dare "Mortal Girl" as in insult even if Annabeth herself is mortal. While demigods are also mortals, in the series humans are called mortals while demigods are called half-bloods or demigods. The reason demigods arent added to the mortal category normally is because we have a demigod category. It is just bad wording by the author basically. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  16:41, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Also, if you want to add the mortal category to the demigod pages, I dont mind because we do have a "human" category and a "demigod" category so mortal should go in both. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  16:45, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

It was awesome! We went to the national museum of the Philippines. I kinda disappointed to know that the once rich Philippines has turned to what it is today.

Hey, sorry. =3 You didn't respond to my other message either. I'm too busy at school. I mean I did miss alot after coming two weeks late. And about your signature; I prefer this one but try to increase to font, some people can't see the name properly. Wait. What about your teachers? I mean why'd you hate them? Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  17:37, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Well, my first taught on my new Trig teacher was that she is an alien. First because there's no curve on her upper lip (the one below the nose) it was a custom in the phil. the if you do not have that curve is that you are an alien. (I just learnt that during my vacation.) But it was apretty childish theory. But the worst is that she gives you a 25 questions as HW and I also had lots of notes to copy. And my literature teacher explains so weird that you'd think she is taking steriods. I mean her ' v ' is pronounced as ' w ' and her ' w ' is a ' v '. She's from Norway I think. Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  18:08, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Oh you're a class rep too? I am and still is, since freshman year. Ask 'Mary!' she knows. And it is trigonometry sorry for confusion. Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  18:35, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Umm, no I wasn't voted. I was chosen by my grades. They choose the highest on the whole batch (in all sections). And I was almost replaced because they thought I transfered my school. (I was absent for two weeks). Hey a little rep advice: The teacher give you most o the stuff and pressures but, act like it's just natural so you won't have trouble doing your job. Because if you act like it's a burden then, it will be a burden. Good Luck! Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  10:10, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

I dont really mind creating a "Children of (insert Roman Name here)" category. I mean we didnt have to deal with this before as all we had were Greek gods so the Roman demigods should be treated fairly. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  19:52, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Nopes. I haven't bought it yet. Youy know that it's too crowded one the first weeks, so I'll buy it maybe two weeks after. How about there? When will it be shipped? Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  10:24, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

I'm living next to a bookstore so I can buy it any time but until now fans are still crowding it. An ordering in amazon will give you british covers Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  14:29, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Wow, you bought it already? Is it delivered now? Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  11:58, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Haha, out-of-stock? Probably. I raed this article regarding that. They said that it is the bestselling item on amazon (currently). I know how you feel. Like 'so-excited-to-get-it-today-then-they-suddenly-crush-you-hopes' right? I couldn't respond yesterday as I was out-of-town. Sorry about that. Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  10:59, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ah I agree. Of course, Amazon has lots of customers, but they shouldn't promise something that they couldn't fulfill right? Right now, my local bookstore has out-of-stock. I didn't buy yet, as I have said in my previous letter. They said stocks will come after one week. Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  10:10, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. I have lots to read actually that's why I'm not yet buying it. Like I'm currently re-reading twilight saga (the 4 books) and also I'm reading bunch of other series. But I'm too busy with the school stuff so... yeah. Oh yeah, how was the year-rep. ceremony? Wait, Which year are you now? I'm a junior (3rd year high.) Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  19:14, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, totally. It's awesome but I'm not giving spoilers =3 afterall this site already contains plenty of them... hehe. Anyways, when are you getting it? Aren't you supposed to get it like a week before? I'm saying that because you know, your close to Britain and all that so they should've delivered it already. Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  11:27, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Nope. Definitely not. But there's a good plot twist about her and Percy. At one point she tried to flirt with him but he says no. I think Riordan is trying to make a love-triangle: Jason-Reyna-Percy. But come to think of it, the idea is just too not-up-to-my-standards. Poor Reyna, Jason already likes Piper and Percy said he already have a girlfriend. For the record, even though I don't like her, I pity her abit, abit only. Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  11:58, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, i read your message but I haven't replied ealier. Sorry. My internet was ugh! I think you know what I mean. So good for you, I mean Amazon should really work on their sched and stuff. One more reason why I couldn't reply, we already started our monthly exam, it'll finish today. Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  16:59, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, it did. I got like really high grades and I was critisised again. 'Oh the asian got good grades. Whats new?'' They really 'stereo-type' alot. BTW we had an exam on every subject, and it happens every month. how about your school? Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  20:47, October 21, 2011 (UTC)''

It sounds beautiful! I agree with you about Damon! He does rock! I loved the end of Shadow Souls when he totally freaked out about being human! Hilarious! Do you watch the TV show as well? It's amazing. I actually prefer it to the novels, because the characters are so much better. For example, I really hate Elena in the books, she's kind of slutty.. I'm not trying to sound moral or anything, but the things she does behind Stefan's back are awful. And it doesn't seem to bother her. I hate people like that. She should just pick one and get it over with. But that's my personal opinion.. So what do you think about L.J. Smith being replaced by a ghostwriter? Mary!

I watch them in English. I download them every Friday after school. Any TV show you can imagine is shown except TVD. The shows here are not dubbed, they have subtitles, unless they are Mexican or from any other South American country. Old ladies sure love those!!!

Yeah! Sweetie, dubbing ALWAYS sucks!! I hate it. Thank God Greeks don't do it! So, why aren't you asleep? We are 2 hours ahead of you and it's almost 1 am here. I'm hypocrite! I think that's early.. Gotta go, Supernatural's on. Goodnight! Mary! (talk • contribs) 21:52, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yep, you got me! I never sleep! Seriously, last night I slept at 2 am and woke up at 7:30. I tried to keep this a secret, but you're just too smart.. I'm a vampire!! My BFF actually calls me that.. Can't figure out why.. So, the eternal question: Team Stefan or Team Damon? I don't know. I like them both. In the TV series, they're both awesome and very funny. I like this bad boy thing Stefan's going through right now. Damon, I love him, but he's too self destructing. I think I'd like Elena to get back with Stefan eventually, but Damon's really charming. I'm curious what kind of relationship the 2 could have. Season 3 is amazing! As for House of Night, I haven't read them yet, but I'm thinking about starting in a few days. The new book comes out in a couple of days, too.

My sister read all of them and she loves them. I did German for 3 years in junior high school. English helped, but learning a language only from school doesn't help. In order to be fluent, you need private lessons. I was pretty good, but now I don't remember much. A second language in high school is one of the subjects we can choose, but there are never enough students to make a class. Students choose Computers, Psychology, Astronomy, Art.. In my class there was this girl who lived in Germany for years. She knew German. And I know 2 half German guys, only one of them sounded German, the other couldn't even spell. Mary!

Golden fleece (talk • contribs) 11:01, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, absolutely! In Greece, the school year is divided in 2 terms, 4 months each. Now, almost in every subject we have to write a test during the first term, but in the second it isn't necessary. Only if the teacher wants to. Except for the "big" test of the term, we can write smaller ones. Usually, teachers have the right to give us a couple of questions instead of asking the students about the chapter they had to study. Unannounced tests are a disaster! You come without no idea what the book says and you get a big fat 0! So, students just copy from each other. Greek students are genius at cheating. BTW, my 10th grade Ancient Greek teacher has a German friend who is a teacher, too. While in Germany, she let her observe her lesson and then they left the students alone. They didn't make a sound! They sat there quietly (I guess the class had cameras). Is this the case? Are you seriously that quiet and disciplined? Mary! (talk • contribs) 14:15, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

I did what I could with the "Cast and Crew" section. I dont think we have a Cast and Crew page, but we do have a category so it redirects there. I also updated the characters section and tried to fit in as much as I could. It is only allowed to display 5 categories in each tab and each category only has 10 spots to fill. I wish it was 15, but thats just the way it is. Darkcloud1111 ~Fastest Hero Alive  19:46, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

How are you?  Athletiger Talk~Welcome to Canada, you idiot. 03:32, October 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yep, Mediterraneans are that way.Very loud!!! Greek schools are like the Italian you went and worse. Our Sociology teacher is really nice and not very strict, so every Monday and Tuesday we get out of control. The boys make sounds like coughing, sneezing and many others, they swear loudly and stand up and start hitting each other, climbing on each other, they watch porn in class, which was kinda gross, books are thrown with force on the board and there is this guy, whose parents are both teachers in my school so in a way he's safe, that goes out and takes a walk whenever he wants. Sometimes half a dozen people ask to go to the toilet. But that only happens in Sociology and most of all that stuff have stopped, cuz the vice principal one day had the class next door and she brought the headmaster! The boys are always the problem. Some teahers do have this presence, exactly like Snape. My Biology teacher is very similar to Snape, actually. BTW, I once played cards with a guy in the first desk, right in front of the teacher, but he was too busy writing on the board to notice. He was by far the worst teacher I've ever had. Made me sleepy.. As for that German school, she didn't say what kind. We might have said some things about German schools, but not much. I'd love to hear, though. Mary!

Gymnasium
Hi! By the way, to the americans a "gymnasium" would be like a college-prep school, and to the brits its a grammar school. how come you speak english? you should start up a german camp halfblood wiki. i go to a grammar school (basically; selective), and im half british, half american. Natalya Finnley 15:36, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

well...y'know conservatives and labour, right? Conservatives are centre-right, and labour are centre-left (I don't know why I am explaining this). Well, I think it was conservatives who thought up grammar schools in the first place. There are only a few counties who have what is called the 11+ (its basically an entrace exam into all the grammar schools in the borough/county). There's Surrey, Buckinghamshire, that's all I know. Counting on my fingers, I can think of 7, but I live on a border between a county with grammar schools, and without, so yeah, they are kind of rare and snobby (and generally considered conservative and the people seem to think all the kids focus on exam results, gets pressured for good marks and things). Do people think that you guys get pressured for exam results? It's a joke at our school. Natalya Finnley 19:09, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Nope. Grammar schools are public/government schools. A private school is a fee paying one. However, in the us, a public school means one you have to pay for. Some private schools do have an exam. How popular are private schools in Germany? This sounds really dumb, but do you guys wear uniform? What do Germans generally think about the Brits? Do they think that they are snobs?

Another question, sorry. Do you guys celebrate halloween? if so, what do you guys say instead of "trick or treat"?Natalya Finnley 19:25, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

they were said to be at different intervals, like fireworks in the lightning thief, the demigod files, and the last olympian PerseusJackson -Jordan Terraemotus Tempestas  19:30, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Haha lol. You watch grey's anatomy? Just asking but is it dub? Anyways, you finished SoN? Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  11:15, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

I know right! I totally agree with you about Reyna. First when I read about the spoilers in the internet about her (eg. flirting with Percy, etc) I was all like 'Curse her, I wish she just stick with .....' blah blah blah stuff, but when I read about her she didn't end up being slutty and all. I kinda like her character. BTW Which guy character do like? I like Percy and Nico (same level) I dont like Jason that much (I'm not saying I dont like his character.) I find him a lil' bit show-off (a lil' bit only) Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  12:08, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yes. All children in government schools have to wear uniform. In most private schools you have to wear uniform too, but in some they don't (I can only think of one where you don't have to wear uniform). In America, you don't have to wear uniform at government schools, and I don't know about private schools there. I generally think of the germans as clean and tidy, quite mechanical (not the people themselves, just the industry and stuff), new fangled (?). I don't know what the general public think of the germans. I know the general public think that americans are loud, rude, etc, but I don't really know about the germans. About prejudices, I don't think so. I know that if we do talk about Nazis or things in my school, its in a history lesson, or in reference to history. I don't think that people are prejudiced against the germans, but I know that less people study/learn the language. This maybe because france is nearer, more popular, and some think its easier.87.112.138.140 17:25, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

hey, how are you? as a comment to a private school uniform above, my school is private, and i don't have a uniform (happily)  Athletiger Talk~Welcome to Canada, you idiot. 23:46, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I kinda like Leo, because like even when he had hard times, he can still smile. Which I can relate much. About the prejudice thinking, some of us think that Germans are big-headed because they always want to be the best among the best or that they are the best mechanics or what you said. But I don't judge people like that. I judge on their own personality not general; like overall (eg. Asians are all nerds, and all.) Athena Jackson ~Call me Leah  07:59, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. They consider me as a nerd too. For cryin' out loud I'm a second generation American! (I have Jap. ancestry) They call me nerd since I always get A's and A+'s and all, but don't worry, not all Americans are like that; stereotyping people and all.

I like the fact that you pay a lot of attention to foreign languages. That's really cool! If you're interested, I'd love to tell you what school is like in Greece. It's definitely different. Mary! (talk • contribs) 13:22, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I don't know if you know this, but we have to do what are called GCSE's. We take them in year 11 (age 15-16). I'm taking Latin and German (as well as History, ICT, Geography, Maths, English and Science). I would like to take ancient greek, but they only offer it in the last two years at school. They offer french at my school too, but I dropped it. They offer spanish in the last two years of school (its called Sixth Form). Hey, I know this is off topic, but have you heard of NaNoWriMo? It stands for National Novel Writing Month. I think it started out in America. Basically, you write a novel of 50,000 words in one month (November). You can do fanfiction too. My novel has some loose percy jackson fanfiction.Natalya Finnley 17:16, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

It's actually pretty simple. So, 6 years primary or elementary school, whatever (I think it's the same thing, but I was taught by British teachers, so I can never choose between British and American English). 3 years junior high school, that's when things get tough and students see what they're good at, so they can pick the right high school. The marks are from 0-20, but teachers' worst grade is actually 8. High school also lasts 3 years, but there are different kinds of schools. Bad or lazy students go to ΕΠΑΛs, which teach them jobs like nurses, etc and they get to practise in labs. Good students go to normal high school and when they graduate if they succeed their exams, they go to university. Now, in high school except for the basic lessons, we have to pick which subjects we're gonna focus on or directions, as we call them : 1. theoretical subjects, like Ancient Greek, Latin, Literature and History, 2. Science, like Maths, Physics, Biology and Chemistry 3. Technology, which is almost the same as science. I focus on theoretical subjects, because I wanna study English Literature. Let's hope next year I'm a university student! BTW, you didn't comment at all on the crazy stuff that happen in my class. Does that mean you think it's normal?? Mary!
