    "I use my face better than that wombat." David said.

    "You did not just say that." Becky teased.

    "Why do we keep them around? They can't do anything." Julia complained.
    "Well, they can now." Belinda replied. She flicked the switch and the wombat's eyes glowed red. It beeped a few times, then began shooting lasers.
    "Ain't the bees gonna help?" Jeremy said.
    "I suppose if they can't fix the bees, they can't fix the bees." Belinda replied. She turned the bee hive over and stared into it, still seeing flies in it.
    "This is crazy. I wish you would go get Mama." Becky said.
    "She's sleeping." Becky sighed.
    The bees continued firing lasers and flying around. They soon came to the edge of the clearing, where the trees became too thick to see through. "How many bees do you think there are? This hive can't hold them all." Julia asked.
    "I'm sure they have at least a hundred." Belinda said, not seeming worried.
    "I can see hundreds in here." David said. "Let's put some bees in there too, and see what happens."
    "I guess we should do that too." Belinda said. "I'll go get Mama."
    Becky sat back in the grass and stared into the hive, seeing the bees darting around. They all walked towards the hive, and David pulled out a bunch of bees. They headed inside, shooting beams and bees around. David fired the bee beam over the building, and it lit up so that they could see inside.
    "I don't see anything but bees in there. Where do the bees go?" Becky asked.
    "I don't know." David replied.
    "I thought bees liked flowers." Becky said.
    "Yeah, but bees eat flowers too. Sometimes they'll die if they're not going to eat something else." David said. He held the bees over his face to see if he could tell what was inside the hive, but they just flew off. He pushed the bee beam through the hive, and the bees swarmed around it, shooting more beams. David continued pushing them through the hive, feeling the walls, checking to see if anything was on fire. He was not sure what to expect, but he saw bees buzzing around him, so he kept shooting.
    "This is crazy." David whispered. "I'm making bees attack me."
    "That's not crazy." David argued. "I'm making bees attack them. That's not normal. I'm out of bees, but they're still attacking."

    Acquainted with the Night - Robert Frost


    I have been one acquainted with the night.
    I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
    I have outwalked the furthest city light.

    I have looked down the saddest city lane.
    I have passed by the watchman on his beat
    And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

    I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
    When far away an interrupted cry
    Came over houses from another street,

    But not to call me back or say good-bye;
    And further still at an unearthly height,
    One luminary clock against the sky

    Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. 
    I have been one acquainted with the night.

      It’s true, there are no perfect solutions. All we can do is try to wring what joy we can out of the things we cannot change. Some things will be terrible no matter what, and all there is to do is grit your teeth and bear it.

      Thanks guys. I was just feeling a little hopeless, I guess. I’m running as fast as I can, but I don’t seem to be getting anywhere.

      Yeah. There are books that claim to be able to help, but I don’t know if they would. I honestly have felt that way for the last 5 months pretty much nonstop, and I haven’t found much that helps.

    Well, at least I can retake it.

    @The Wandering Wizard and @The Bookwyrm and @InfiniteInsanity and @That1Cellist showed up at my house and then we went rock climbing and got ice cream and @InfiniteInsanity got a really bad sugar high and it was sooo soooo fun.

  15. I am disappointed in humanity as a whole. We just can't seem to learn. We keep finding new ways to hate and excuses not to love. We find people who are different from us- even if it's a tiny thing like the brand of your shoes, and we unite in hate against them. 

    I think maybe we are cowards by nature. A necessity for survival, perhaps. You rarely see people picking on the strong and powerful. Instead, we pick on the weak and defenseless. Shy people, babies, people with disabilities, strangers, people without an army of 'friends' to back them up. Why do we do it? What's it worth to us? A cheap laugh at someone else's expense? The satisfaction of knowing we've caused someone else an unwarranted lifetime of hurt?

    Aren't we more than the simple urge to seek pleasure and avoid punishment? Where is the human spirit- the capability and desire to make things better than they are now? Hate brings hate brings hate brings hate. Isn't anyone brave enough to try loving someone without care for if that love is returned? Not the shallow feelings of attraction, but true love; the willingness to help someone without reward, even if that help is a simple kind word? 

    In my studies I have seen much hate, much passion, but little true love. All I want is to stop the hate with kindness and caring. There's so much shallow paint covering the wall that is our culture, but what is underneath it? Is the wood rotting from neglect?

    Happy Valentine's day, humans. I hope the chocolate was good.

      Keep on trying, you will find it eventually. And try new things, that'll expose you to new things that you may have a passion for.

      I know I’m totally late to the convo. But Ranryu, this should get published in some sort of article or newspaper.
      I have seen a lot of this, too (as we all have). And I have been that person getting bullied. I don’t want anyone else to feel the way I did. 
      Anyway, wise words.

      You should get them published.

  17. Mmmm. Weezer, Cosmo Sheldrake, and Tomaso Albinoni. If you called my music tastes eclectic, you'd be right.

    Why do people keep secrets? 99% percent of the time, situations would be better resolved by sitting down and having a logical conversation than all this deception and misdirection. Secrets fascinate me, but I hate them. 

    It's also interesting to think about the line between secrets and unnecessary information. At what point does someone just not need  to know something? And what about when you just absolutely cannot talk about something even if you wanted to? Is that still considered a secret? Either way, when it comes to not saying something, misdirection is a lot more effective than lying. Change the subject. Give a goofy answer. Make your outward projection so wild and chaotic that people forget what they asked you in the first place.

    This has been weird thoughts with Ranryu. Thank you for coming. *bows*

      Flirting can be fun and stuff,

      Strong disagree, but you do you.

  18. Ah, the multi-stake Valentine's day dance. Always the best dance of the year. I only danced with five boys, which comes nowhere close to beating my record of seven, but that's okay. It was @Potato's Wit's first dance, and I think she had a lot of fun. We had a live band with *gasp* pyrotechnics that were probably not safe indoors but cool nonetheless. And I had incredibly sparkly shoes because they were on sale and why not. 

    I got to meet another sharder irl, but I'm not sure if they want me to share their name. That was fun.

    Yes, @The Bookwyrm did indeed look like he was about to commit a heist. It was the dark tie with dark shirt and coat. And it is interesting to note that he's not the only guy who tied a balloon light to his glasses. There were a few of them. 

    There's nothing like forgetting all social inhibitions and talking to random strangers for the fun of it. (You guys don't know but I'm like super introverted and only really do that at dances)

    I'm gonna go pass out now. Yay!
