Guys.
I keep finding more underrated early 2000's tv shows. The ones with ten year old boys as the target audience.
Why are they so amazing. Especially the Canadian ones. Seriously, I have like five ten year old boy early 2000's cartoons from Canada that I absolutely love.
Is this what addiction feels like?

This cracked me up xD
-
It is (slightly) official
I will be going to Dragonsteel 2023! I am very hyped and excited!!!!! Any tips for planning from people who’ve gone before?

Okay okay okay. Let's talk about peat bogs. If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about, then hold on tight. We're gonna go on a little ride.
First of all, what is a peat bog? A peat bog is a type of wetland that accumulates peat (a buildup of partially decayed plant matter- often moss). Peat bogs are found in cool northern climates (a famous example is ireland). About 12,000 years ago, glaciers from the most recent ice age retreated, leaving poorly draining lakes behind. Over time, plant matter built up inside these lakes, becoming peat. Other names for peat bogs include mire, mosses, quagmire, and muskeg.
SpoilerWhy are peat bogs important? Peat (dried peat) is a valuable form of fuel that has been harvested for thousands of years. Peat is also used as a soil additive. Beyond that, peat bogs play a vital role in the environment. Peat moss improves the soil's ability to absorb water, and peat holds more carbon than the combined forests of Britain, France and Germany. Plus, if you like animals, peat bogs provide shelter to some really cool endangered ones.
SpoilerAnother really interesting thing about peat bogs is that they are excellent at preserving deceased life forms. Hopefully some of you have heard of the famous "bog bodies" that are often found in peat bogs. Sometimes more than ten thousand years old, these bog bodies give us interesting insight on how things used to be.
(Warning, mildly scary image below)
SpoilerThis is the Tollund man, found in 1950. It is believed that he was sacrificed in some kind of fertility ritual about twenty five thousand years ago. His body is incredibly well preserved-- even his internal organs!
Clearly, there's a lot more to learn about peat bogs. Go look them up, they're really cool!
wait what did I just do-
NO TRIBUTING. IT'S A WASTE OF A PEAT BOG.
We can use the ice cream truck for that instead.

This is your daily reminder:
You are now breathing manually.
Enjoy your next 24 hours.

Just beat my latest BotW file in preparation of TotK. Those Ganon fights are... way too easy - even with Jelli the Idiot Horse as your loyal steed. I hope Zombiedorf is harder.

Guyyyyys!!!
I’m applying for my first real job! (Detasseling doesn’t count) It’s at a plant shop, and I really hope I get it! It seems like a really good environment! -
I have a question for y'all.
Would you consider yourselves chaotic? Why?
-
Thanks guys!
SpoilerNow I can claim to be the voice of reason, giving me special plot armor where I don’t die until later in the story.

I'm stealing @CalanoCorvus's idea now.
I'm going to the BYU young authors camp this year!
I was just wondering if anyone else is going and if so, if anyone would want to meet up
-
I’m not going (
), but one of the most amazing people I know is. Maybe you guys’ll meet!

Well, dang it. I'm not gonna be reading Wheel of Time anymore...
Forgive me.
I loved the Wheel of Time, but I gotta quit.
As someone I know said, "The icecream is pretty good, except for that cockroach in it..."
The cockroach being that one glaring chapter in TFoH and a bunch of things here and there in the whole series.
So, therefore, I quit.
I wanted to love Wheel of Time, I still do, in fact. But... I can't continue. I wish I could, but I cannot.
Blood and Bloody Ashes, I so wanted to continue.
Well, Light, I guess that means I have more time to read Count of Monte Christo, God Emperor of Dune, Scythe and the Inheritance Cycle. Onward to books!

So my parents decided they wanted to reduce my phone time by forcing me to take all the fun apps off of it. That's fine. I get it.
But.
Now I have free time. LOTS of free time.
Spoiler(No teacher on this planet could assign enough homework to keep me occupied all day
)
I wanna learn to do something fun. Drawing, maybe?
I definitely didn't spend the past hour just drawing hands in different positions.What do you guys think I should try?
(Please nobody say bassoon. I'm procrastinating because it's so heavyyyyy and baaaaadddd soundinggggggg)

That’s also something I’m interested in! I have a classical teacher, so I mostly compose classical-esque stuff, but I’d like to try something with a little more groove. Rock or jazz or funk maybe. That’s an excellent idea, thank you!
