Pippycat,

How do you host your own Hunger Games? Since Charlie Lancaster died in Harvey the Hunter's Revival Games, I want to see if I can host my own. Basically, HOW do you host your own Games?

Thanks!

School grades
Pippy, I want to ask to you: how are the school grades given to the american students?

I noticed in some american movies, good students consider C and D bad school grades. In Italy C corrpisponds to 7 and D corrisponds to 6.

A = 9,0-10,0

B = 8,0-8,9

C = 7,0-7,9

D = 6,0-6,9

F = lower than 6,0

In Italy perfect students get 8 and 9 (10 is pretty unattainable); good students get 8; average students get 7; not very good students get 6; bad students get school grades lower than 6 (lower than 6 isn't sufficient). However in America an average student get B, not 7. Do you know the cause?

GianG (talk) 18:28, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

In Italy the grades are a scale from 1 to 10, not 11 (they aren't point, they are the percentages divided by 100. So:

10 = 99-100 %

10- = 97-98 %

9 and 1/2 = 94-96 %

9+ = 92-93 %

9 = 89-91 %

9- = 87-88 %

9 and 1/2 = 84-86 %

and so on.

However in Italy 9 (90 %) is the excellence and it is pretty impossible get 10 (100 %).

Search on Italian wiki "Valutzione scolastica" (school evalutation) and use google translate. Then, click on 2.1.1 ("Stati Uniti d'America", that mans USA). You'll see this chart: I noticed that american students recieve many "A", but it is very get a "10". For example, I have these grades:

Lingua e letteratura italiana (Italian language and literature): 8

Lingua e letteratura latina (Latin language and literature): 9

Lingua e cultura inglese (English language and culture): 8

Storia e geografia (History and geography): 8

Matematica (Math): 9

Fisica (physics): 8 %

Scienze (science): 9

Disegno tecnico e storia dell'arte (Technical drawing and art history): 8

Educazione fisica (PE): 7

Comportamento (Behavior): 10

Media ("Final grade"): 8,4 (84 %)

8,4 is B. B in America is an average result, but my "final grade" (8,4) is the third highst in my class. Maybe, Italian teacher are more stringent than American teacher. :)

Also, I didn't understand the difference between "E" and "F".

Chat? o3o
Hey, Bee! I was wondering if you could come on chat? There are suddenly like 10 users on, and we all want some new blood in the chat family :3

Your chibi
Okay it's done, hope it's okay. If you want anything changing, just let me know :3

Sorry the hair isn't great, it was kind of difficult to fade. Also if you want a different logo on the hoodie, let me know bc it doesn't show up well...

Thanks for ording one :3

❤ I have more tabs open    than I have friends ❤   20:10, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Chibi
It's okay, I tried making it lighter and pink, but neither would show the logo up any better. I went and searched The Birthday Massacre logo, and it came up with this, so I tried it and it worked fine, so I hope this is OK. If you want the hoodie changed again, it's okay, just let me know :3

The 20th Annual Hunger Games are on it´s way!
Hi Pippy. In late may, I made a blog where I explained my first Hunger Games story series, and you early-submitted a tribute, Calypso Rune. It has been a long time, but I have finally started the first games, but I need you to comment so I know you still want Calypso in the games.

Thanks in advance!

Yoonie (talk) 15:37, July 21, 2014 (UTC)

Omg
Yup it is indeed DAN AND PHIL!!! :D

I really like that image, i've seen it on the official t-shirts and stuff, so I thought it was perfect, and cute! I'm guessing you're a fan?! It would be really awesome if you were! :3

Sambaroses (talk) 21:10, July 21, 2014 (UTC)

Awesome! *High fives you* Now here's a serious question... which one of them is your favourite? xD

And I do know who she is, yes! I don't watch her very much, I don't know why exactly, but she's really funny and crazy. xD

Sambaroses (talk) 22:37, July 21, 2014 (UTC)

Oh my gosh, you don't know how happy that makes me. Seriously though, I always feel alone in the fact that Phil is my favourite, even my RL friends all prefer Dan! So yeah, that's pretty awesome you prefer him. xD And I know, he's really cute, though Dan is too. :D And I think i've seen a few of those, I might just go and watch a few now, as I remember her to be really funny and cool! :3

Sambaroses (talk) 11:48, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Heh heh, I was actually so sure when I asked you you were going to say Dan too, so I was very surprised. xD And I know! *Tosses you cookies* It's nice to finally meet someone who thinks that too! I think I like Phil more possibly because he has a fairly innocent sense of humour where as Dans, well... lets just say his isn't. xD BTW, I just watched Bunnys latest 'Uncommon Objects Haul', and she was just as funny and slightly crazy as I remember her! She's pretty awesome. :D

Sambaroses (talk) 15:04, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Nooo, he's certainly not, though he's still really, really funny. I especially like his 'Human Interaction' and 'Innapropriate Winking' videos xD Personally, my favourite Phil videos are the ones where he reads his chatlogs and the 'My First Date' one, though I remember the 'Lost in the Mall' one, wasn't that where he was in America and that security guard broadcast 'Please come and pick up your 6 foot man child' across the entire mall? :D If i'm thinking of the right one, that was hilarious! And what song are you listening too, if you don't mind me asking? :3 I'm really quite enjoying this little chat of ours. xD

Sambaroses (talk) 15:28, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, the Physco Thoughts video! I remember that one, it's definately up there in my list of favourites. I also like pretty much all the 'Reasons why Dan's a fail' videos, they are totally hilarious, especially the ones where he talks about why he got fired from various different jobs. xD

I've heard of that band, but not of the song. I'm more into pop (Though not dance music) / country pop myself, so it probably doesn't normally cross over into the genres I listen to (Though I am prone to a bit of Paramore and such like occasionally. :) Why are they called that though, does it have any meaning behind it, or did they just think it sounded cool? I mean 'Birthday Massacre' is a bit of a gory name for a band... xD

Sambaroses (talk) 15:43, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, apparently we do! xD I'm more into people like Taylor Swift, The Script, Olly Murs, Shania Twain, Carly Simon, Onerepublic... haha, we have very different tastes! xD And I love music too, I am prone to a bit of rock sometimes, more like Aerosmith, Bryan Adams, Dr Hook etc. though. :) Oh, and i'm not really very into scary songs, becuase they're well, scary. xD I'm the sort of girl who couldn't finish watching 'The Woman in Black' past the bit where the girl coughs up blood and dies. Yeah, I get scared easily. xD I'm guessing you don't then, by the types of music you listen to? :3

Sambaroses (talk) 16:22, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Oh no! People shouldn't judge you on your music taste, then it wouldn't be a conversation ender. xD The thing that always happens to me is that my music taste isn't a conversation ender, but I just don't get on with the people who like the same things as I do, unfortunately. xD I feel kinda bad becuase i've only heard of 5 of them, though I think i'll check out Lidsey Stirling, as I love a nice bit of violin playing, thoungh not in the classical way, as in a rock type way. :D Also, just, oh dear. xD

Sambaroses (talk) 16:34, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

I've heard of Nightwish, Evanescence, Within Temptation, The Civil Wars, and... oh, I only know 4. Ooops! Unforunately I haven't heard of the others, but i'm guessing they're along a similar vain? Which ones have you not heard of of mine? I think it would probably be too time consuming to list all the ones you have heard of. xD  And that's cool, i'm not really a classical music person, though there are a couple I like, but I can't remember what they are off hand. :3

As I say I couldn't finish the Woman in Black when I tried to watch it near Hallloween, it really freaked me out, and I ended up watching a young childrens movies about a halloween mystery where half the cast were talking puppies to make me feel better. So i'd stick to scary books rather than movies. xD I mean i've read things like The Owl Service and stuff which were quite scary, but I never make a concerted effort to actually look for scary books if that makes sense. I'm more an adventure / romance reader. :D

Sambaroses (talk) 16:52, July 22, 2014 (UTC)

Eep, sorry, I keep forgetting we live in different countrys, I should've explained some stuff. xD

The Woman in Black is basically a British horror movie starring Daniel Radcliffe (That guy from Harry Potter xD). The plot revolves around his Character, and the Woman in Black, who takes children away by making them commit suicide and stuff... it's difficult to explain without ruining the plot, but it's set in the edwardian era, and creepy things happen like 3 young girls all jump out of a window to their deaths and stuff, almost as if they were possesed. Needless to say it was very, very creepy. xD

Oh, and I don't blame you for not having heard of the others, but here's a quick rundown anyway, partly by me, partly by wikipedia, and partly becuase i'm bored. xD

Olly Murs: A British X Factor runner up from Essex, and one of the few people to actually ever get a long pop career from it, as usually x factor people sort of fade away after a while here (With the exception of One Direction, who are everywhere! Dx ) xD

Shania Twain: She's a canadian country music singer-songwriter. She's also one of the most commercially successful artists of all time, having sold over 85 million albums.

Carly Simon: She's an American singer-songwriter, musician and children's author. She first rose to fame in the 1970s, and is still singing and stuff now. :3

Aerosmith: They are an American rock band, signed in 1972, and again still going now. The lead singer, Steven Tyler, has a really gravelly unique voice too.

Bryan Adams: (This one is taken directly from wiki, becuase it explains it better. :)

He is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, producer, actor, social activist, and photographer. Adams has been one of the most successful figures of the world of rock music during last three decades and as a singer, he's known for his strong husky vocals and energetic live performances, and he has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the world's best selling music artists and the best-selling Canadian rock artist of all time.

And finally...

Dr Hook: They were an American rock band who were formed in 1967 and split up in 1985. They were originally known as 'Dr Hook and the Medicine Show', but it was later shortened to just 'Dr Hook.'. :D

Anyway, maybe you should! I'm intrigued by a few of yours, I think I might listen to a few songs by bands you mentioned. :)  I really like pretty much all the genres of books you mentioned, but why no romance books? xD You just have to love an unrealistic, cliche romance in the middle of a rabid zombie apocolypse, haha! Anyway, i'm aware that this was a very long post, so i'm going to shut up now. So, uh, yeah. *Sidles off* xD

Sambaroses (talk) 13:04, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I just have a habit of doing it, so I try to stop myself now. And it seems we do! All the bands sound so cool, if a little depressing! xD

I have heard of Marina and the Diamonds (Who are amazing) and Baby Metal (Who are also awesome!) I really love 'Primadonna Girl', 'Starring Role', and 'Gimme Chocolate'! I actually listen to alot of Japanese music, especially from animes. I especially love this song from an anime called Mermaid Melody (Its a lot cooler than it sounds. xD ). I also really like a couple of AKB48 songs too, which are a japanese band. :3 And now it's my turn to say don't worry about talking too much! It just shows your passionate about all the bands you listen to, or that's how I see it anyway. xD And my first ever tribute was Twyla Paisley, a district 8 Female. She isn't possibly as detailed as some of the others, but she's still one of my favourites. And isn't Bee Clio the tribute you based off of yourself? :3

Sambaroses (talk) 13:04, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, and also, I chose that Mermaid Melody montage video thing becuase the really awesome video that originally goes with it has tons of major spoilers in it. xD

Sambaroses (talk) 16:42, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, we do! :3 And i'm glad you like it, it goes with a very sad scene in the anime that made me cry the first time I saw it. Dx

It was marketed as an upbeat, happy anime, but they never mentioned all the bits where you'll cry! xD

And I know, i'm like 'What are they even saying?' Haha! Thankfully some songs have english translations online, so you can get a general idea what they're actually singing about, which is helpful. Such as the meaning of the Mermaid Melody one is:

The rainbow wind blows at a far off coast. Before dawn, there was a melody I heard. It's a very nostalgic song. The birds that fly towards the eastern sky now escape to the treasure island using this shortcut, where the paradise of the seven seas lies.

After the stormy night, to tell you my love I will be born again. Even if there comes a day where everyone is to journey away from here, as long as we sing the melody of the seven countries, I'll never forget

Clouds slowly float away, vanishing away as they aim for the rainbow"s end. And then the stars, like pearls can start releasing a powerful, wondrous light. From the southern sky, a whistling sound could be heard. Yes, this is the time that's finally come, the time for me to become an adult.

While embracing the kind mother's wishes in her heart She wished that everyone would journey on a miracle-filled adventure. With over flowing tears and prayers, I just don't know anymore.

But their still remains a fantasy of a night where stars fall, for the shining future, To the paradise of the seven seas!

The translations vary from site to site, but that's the general gist of it. It kind of doesn't make that much sense even if you've seen the anime, and I think these lyrics might be from the extended version, but hey! xD I'm hoping to someday learn Japanese so then i'll know for sure... as I remember the english translation for 'Gimme Chocolate' is really quite funny too. :D

That's cool, and yes, she was indeed district 8. I don't use her all that much but I still really like her. :3

Sambaroses (talk) 21:07, July 27, 2014 (UTC)

I know, it's so annoying! Sometimes the meanings aren't even realted to each other, like in one translation it could be a happy song, and in another it could be really depressing. :c And I personally think it is, it's one of my favourite japanese songs ever! :3 And that is exactly right, haha! They kind of beg for chocolate in the first half of the song, and then have eaten some in the second part and start saying it's 'Too Late'! xD

Also, getting back to the topic we started with, have you ever seen the Dan and Phil radio show they do on BBC Radio 1 (It's a british radio station :)? It's really very funny IMO, and it's quite nice to listen to, or even watch if you go on the website! I don't know if it's avalible in other countrys though, I hope it is! :3

Calypso Rune fact, might be helpful for trivia
In Greek mythology, there was a goddess named Calypso who was cursed to repeat everything she heard. Let us go to Tacoland, where whales swim the rivers filled with nuggets (talk) 03:19, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Should we make a joint account which has you, Emilia (Summer bee 13), and me. It could be called Sumcroscat or something.
