User Pictures of the Residents of Apricotpie

An essay by Emily | 4/16/2008

I’ve been thinking and isn’t it funny how the preteens/teens on apricotpie have odd pictures. I really like odd pictures to but I’m not creative enough to think of some that haven’t already been thought of! lol.
Here are a few users who have odd pictures: Tamerah, Moira, Anna [who has the one of her blowing a bubble and then her in her room it appears on a skate board in a cluttered room with a electric guitar] and Mathew’s is just plain silly [I actually like it] but I’m sure there are more I don’t know about.
Is it because we’re home schooled? Is it because we’re different than the people in public school? Why is it that we are more non-caring to care what people think? Why do people who aren’t home schooled think we’re completely shut out to the world? We know about High School Musical [though I actually want to forget about it!!!!!] and latest songs, styles, ect…
I feel like taking weird pictures now. : 0)

I am honored to be on your list, but I don't see what is so odd about my picture =D It is the result of me having a lot of time on my hands, a camera and amazing image editing skills. haha

Ezra | Wed, 04/16/2008 - 4:02pm

I think that she was talking about the one with the red flower. My picture is very plain, though. I'll have to come up with something...

| Wed, 04/16/2008 - 7:54pm

They're just...different! In a good way! :)
It's emily but I'm to lazy to log in! lol...

Tamerah | Thu, 04/17/2008 - 2:39am

lol, different is good

Emily | Thu, 04/17/2008 - 11:16am

I tihnk Tam got my message in this post! Different is what we are and different is good! :) Oh yeah and do you mind if I call you Tam? Tamerah is hard to type! :) no offense!

Tamerah | Thu, 04/17/2008 - 11:53am

lol, no I don't mind

Anna | Thu, 04/17/2008 - 4:50pm

Urm... about my picture... I was trying to change it to something else... apparently I got SOMETHING, but it wasn't what I was trying to get... the one of the electric guitar isn't even me, it's my friend Leah in her room... I didn't take it (I didn't take the one with the bubbles, either, but it is me) and it's not be... but I still like it so whatever. And now the picture I was trying to change it to can be seen on my writing pages.
I have no idea how this happened.

Nathanael | Sat, 04/19/2008 - 2:54pm

Hey Tamerah, I dare you to change your picture to a picture of your whole face. Also, a lighter background as well.
~gNat~

lol
Tamerah | Sat, 04/19/2008 - 3:11pm

Well my background is lighter now, but not very exciting (it has my cat's food in the background) and you can see like... half of my face =D

Nathanael | Sat, 04/19/2008 - 3:19pm

Still not satisfied.
~gNat~

HA!
Tamerah | Sat, 04/19/2008 - 3:27pm

So are you saying you don't like my picture?

Nathanael | Sat, 04/19/2008 - 4:35pm

It's not that I "don't like your Picture". It's just...well...a little "mystical". You know, only half your face showing, plus your hair hanging down to cover up even more. It's like you don't want people to see you.
Hehehe...ok...I'm not saying it's a bad thing, It just makes me curious. Actually, it's an interesting idea.
~gNat~

Nathanael | Sat, 04/19/2008 - 4:38pm

To answer your question, yes. I like your picture. Infact, I like it so much, that I almost like it as much as mine. Hehehe.
~gNat~

lol
Tamerah | Sat, 04/19/2008 - 5:40pm

I like to seem 'mysterious' it keeps people guessing =]

Nathanael | Sun, 04/20/2008 - 6:35pm

~gNat~

Tamerah | Sun, 04/20/2008 - 11:13pm

And I bet you're baffled as to what that 'HN' badge stands for =D

Emily | Mon, 04/21/2008 - 10:28am

I had seen you had a new picture of yourself and so I clicked on your profile to check it out and I was like "What the heck does that mean?" :) VERY baffled
~eMiLy~

lol
Tamerah | Mon, 04/21/2008 - 8:02pm

I'm a member of a the Helium Nation society and thats my badge. Yep.

Haha, actually its stand for Hawk Nelson, which is one of my favorite bands =]

:D
Emily | Mon, 04/21/2008 - 10:16pm

:) lol...
~eMiLy~

Ha!
Ezra | Tue, 04/22/2008 - 11:21am

Hawk Nelson! Ha! I knew it! I just couldn't find that emblem on there site...

=D
Tamerah | Tue, 04/22/2008 - 3:02pm

Ya I got it when I bought a Hawk Nelson cd at rainbow west in Gresham, I actually have two now =D Hawk Nelson is da BOMB!
haha

Ezra | Tue, 04/22/2008 - 7:35pm

That store is within walking distance of my house...

=]
Tamerah | Tue, 04/22/2008 - 9:19pm

Seriously? That's awesome, I wish I could walk there from my house but it would take a while, I live like a half hour away from it, but I work in Gresham.

Nathanael | Wed, 04/23/2008 - 2:28pm

Actually, it's in walking distance from where I live. Ezra is living in New York at the time. Hehehe.
~gNat~

Ezra | Wed, 04/23/2008 - 5:59pm

*ahem*

I am not living in New York. I am simply residing there until such a time as my education is complete. I live in Oregon.

Nathanael | Wed, 04/23/2008 - 6:18pm

Ok, ok! What ever you say, Ezra; or should I say "Uffah".
~gNat~

Ezra | Wed, 04/23/2008 - 9:53pm

You can say 'Uffah' if you like.

However, you should note that it makes it sound as though you have a large wad of cotton stuffed into your mouth. ;)

=D
Tamerah | Wed, 04/23/2008 - 11:29pm

I have no idea what you guys are talking about but I am very amused =]

Emily | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 6:22am

Same here, Tamerah! :)
~eMiLy~

Ezra | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 8:45am

Shall we carry on, Nat? Or should I say, "Scrat"?

Ezra | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 8:49am

Incase you are wondering, it's a series of in-jokes.

Emily | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 8:58am

Nathaniel, you remind me of this dude Daniel! :)
~eMiLy~

=]
Tamerah | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 12:07pm

I figured it was inside jokes, I have quite a few of those myself, but not really anyone to share them with on here

Nathanael | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 6:42pm

My brother and I have so many inside jokes, it's not even funny (Haha! get it?). I could probabaly list several hundred right off the top of my head, but I won't.
~gNat~

=]
Tamerah | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 6:48pm

Inside jokes make the world go 'round.

Nathanael | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 6:49pm

I would prefer everyone call me Nat. It's pronounced like the little bug gnat (not nate).
~gNat~

=]
Tamerah | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 7:56pm

Sure thing, I'll try to remember at least, and if I forgot I'll just call you "That kid with the guitar." Of course that only works so long as you have a guitar in your picture. Do you really play the guitar?

=]
Nathanael | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 8:32pm

Thanks. And yes, I really do play the guitar (I am still learning).
~gNat~

=]
Tamerah | Thu, 04/24/2008 - 9:37pm

Thats cool, I want to learn the guitar, but I want to play piano more, I love piano =]
And smiley faces... I love smiley faces =] =D Those two are my favorite =] =D

Anna | Fri, 04/25/2008 - 4:30pm

I only know a few chords on guitar...
my mom is a piano teacher, so I took it for a few years, but never really enjoyed it. my sister, now, is amazing...

Tamerah | Fri, 04/25/2008 - 4:39pm

I love piano! I wish I could have lessons, I would be so happy.
I want to play a lot of instruments
The piano the guitar the violin the cello the drums the harp and the tin whistle, just to name a few =D

Anna | Fri, 04/25/2008 - 4:46pm

i would like to pay an instrument... but i just never follow through with that idea

lol
Tamerah | Fri, 04/25/2008 - 5:43pm

If I had the opportunity to play an instrument I would most definitely jump at it.

Anna | Fri, 04/25/2008 - 5:58pm

Well... I lack conviction.

Move to MI and my mom'll teach you piano.

lol
Tamerah | Fri, 04/25/2008 - 7:04pm

I don't think that is likely to happen but I'll hold you to your word just incase =]

Nathanael | Fri, 04/25/2008 - 8:14pm

The instuments that I would like to play: violin, banjo, mandolin, flute, and the Scottish bag pipes.
~gNat~

=]
Tamerah | Fri, 04/25/2008 - 8:24pm

I would like to play the flute actually, and the banjo would be fun =]

Nathanael | Fri, 04/25/2008 - 9:13pm

About the smiley faces; I like them too, especially real ones.
~gNat~

=]
Tamerah | Fri, 04/25/2008 - 11:08pm

yes, real ones are good too

..
Emily | Sat, 04/26/2008 - 10:11am

I abuse smiley faces! [gettting back ot the inside joke, Tam!] lol!
~eMiLy~

Nathanael | Sat, 04/26/2008 - 11:02am

We're going in circles!
~gNat~

lol
Tamerah | Sat, 04/26/2008 - 2:46pm

Look I DO have an inside joke! yay =]

Emily | Sat, 04/26/2008 - 5:11pm

lol...
I love inside jokes! And codes 'cause either way nobody knows who your talking about! Unless you suck at codes and name the person GHA, and everybody knows it's the initials of Gabriel Hunter Allen! :) long description, yes, I'm aware!
~eMiLy~

lol
Tamerah | Sat, 04/26/2008 - 7:53pm

I believe in codes being the names of fruits =]

Emily | Sat, 04/26/2008 - 9:10pm

the user Megan likes to name stuff like Salt and Pepper in ALaska...inside joke! =] lol
~eMiLy~

=D
Tamerah | Sat, 04/26/2008 - 9:22pm

nice... I unfortunately have nothing interesting to say now.

Nathanael | Sat, 04/26/2008 - 10:10pm

I thought you always had something interesting to say, Tamerah. Hehehe...just teasing. But then, you would know, wouldn't you? After all you invented it (teasing). Yes!...I just pulled off an inside joke.

~gNat~

Tamerah | Sat, 04/26/2008 - 10:23pm

Wow, you managed to pull of teasing and an inside joke in one comment. I'm impressed.

=P

=]
Nathanael | Sat, 04/26/2008 - 10:31pm

Well, I try my best.
~gNat~

Emily | Sun, 04/27/2008 - 9:45am

You guys are crazy!
~eMiLy~

Ezra | Sun, 04/27/2008 - 4:53pm

No…

*sighs with patience*

We're HOMESCHOOLED

Emily | Mon, 04/28/2008 - 11:35am

*sighs with confusion*

NOOOOO! Were crazy, homeschoolers!? Is that better? :)
~eMiLy~

=]
Tamerah | Mon, 04/28/2008 - 5:17pm

I think you have it backwards Emily, its the public schoolers that are crazy.

Nathanael | Mon, 04/28/2008 - 5:28pm

Amen!
~gNat~

Emily | Mon, 04/28/2008 - 6:48pm

Hmmmm...
I don't know wiether to be offended or to be happy...:) J/K
~eMiLy~

Nathanael | Mon, 04/28/2008 - 9:11pm

Oh, sorry Emily...I said amen to public schoolers being crazy, not to you being backwards.
~gNat~

Emily | Tue, 04/29/2008 - 9:03am

No. I meant to Tam's comment about that public schooler's are crazy! And I just meant offended for my friend's and family in public school or happy for myself! But I was just joking anyways! :)
~eMiLy~

lol
Tamerah | Tue, 04/29/2008 - 2:53pm

Don't worry, I know plenty of people in public school and it wasn't meant in an offensive way. Crazy isn't really a bad thing anyways, they just have a different reality than us.. =]

Emily | Tue, 04/29/2008 - 5:09pm

Yeah I seriously was just kidding when I said that! =D
~eMiLy~

Sarah H | Tue, 04/29/2008 - 6:13pm

ha, I think htta homeschoolers are crazy too!
Including myself in the above statement.
But we're crazy in a good way. :D
