Mistrunner Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 DEAR MR. SANDERSON, WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME SINCERELY MISTRUNNER Where I'm at in SoS: "Her daddy," Wayne said. "She said... I killed her daddy..." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaymyth she/her Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Every year, the coolness of fall approaches. Every year, Halloween comes. And (almost) every year, my friends embark upon a post-Halloween tradition... Pumpkin Katana Baseball! This is exactly what you think it is, minus any actual baserunning or scored points. We just mostly use it as an excuse to swing swords, spears, crowbars, pickaxes, and even 2x4s at our spent jack-o-lanterns in order to chop them into mulch. It's fantastically fun. (Kids join in with wooden swords and the like, but are generally not allowed near the edged weaponry.) The tradition holds a special place in my heart, as Pumpkin-Katana Baseball 2008 was my first date with the man who became my husband. So, yeah. James's first day with me involved swinging swords at flying pumpkins whilst I was wearing a fantastic corset. It was awesome. I took some pictures this year, and now I shall share them with you. Behold! The condemned line up to await their doom! My weapon protrudes triumphantly from my first victim! James a split second after bisecting a pumpkin. Between the angle and the blur, it's kind of hard to see the blade, but it's there. The bloody aftermath!

Mistrunner Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I shall prepare myself. With my teddy bear, Fuzzy, several blanket forts, and pretzels.I wasn't joking. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth she/her Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I wasn't joking. The only way that could be better is if the teddy bear were a Soonie pup. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneSpren he/him Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Twi, you have a way with words. I finally finally finally got Shadows of Self! I'm not done get, but so far I've gotten this impression: (Spoilers) GIVE WAYNE ALL THE HUGS Seriously, though, cut Wayne a break. He ain't never done nothin to you. Except maybe steal- I mean trade a few things. (And, in a few cases, kill your father/husband kind of on accident.) Don't you make him feel bad, he's awesome. I always felt sorry for Wayne while reading SoS. First the daughter of the guy he killed and then the daughter of the guy she thought he killed get mad at him. But now Wayne has depth on top of his hilariousness. The only way that could be better is if the teddy bear were a Soonie pup.

Patar he/him Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I am proud to announce that the hall I'm living in has had it's first broken bone of the year! A few guys had the ingenious idea of getting two sets of boxing gloves and duking it out. One thing led to another, and someone's nose got broken! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistrunner Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Fuzzy has his work cut out for him Now I'm imagining reading it aloud to him."Shadows of Self, by Brandon Sanderson... What do you mean, you haven't read the first book?! Well, tough, Fuzzy, you're gonna just have to stick it out." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I remember seeing. A thread for this and now I can't find it. I just finished Inside Out. I cried. I'm so impressed by what they did with a story of a child moving city. It's so wonderfully different from the usual action or romance oriented film. By the end, I literally wanted to reach through the screen and give Riley a massive hug. that was beautiful. the imaginary boyfriend was hilarious, particularly when Joy just called him "haircut". And please tell me I wasn't the only one thinking Shadesmar when they fell into the chasm of forgotten memories? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Oh, look at that. Two jobs in Spokane that I'm not even remotely qualified for. Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Dad. Won't be applying there…. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 And because of that irony dictates that they would take you application. From the first listing: "Individuals who do not want experience transforming an urban library, leading a talented staff, and making a proven impact on the community need not apply." Well, that rules me out, then. I wanted to become a librarian so I could sit in the bathroom and think about life all day. (Seriously, though, there's no specific requirements listed, but I've been to that library. It's the biggest one in the city, in downtown Spokane, the one that can easily serve over a thousand people per day. There is no storming way they'd hire a twenty-five-year-old fresh out of grad school, whose only managerial experience comes from trying to force a bunch of shiftless layabouts to stop gossiping and do the job they were hired to do at a department store.)

ThirdGen Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Methinks that's a polite way of saying "If you don't want to hang around black people, don't apply. 'Cause, you know, you can't be like that anyway." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King he/him Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Well, guys, your pep-talking from the other day resulted in a two thousand word pony fanfiction. I hope you're happy. (I promise I'll do the stuff I was actually supposed to write soon. For realsies this time. ) Edited November 11, 2015 by Kobold King 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
