      At my dance we celebrated CST new year… I missed my CST friend (again, you know who you are)

  2. Poem of the day!!

    Because I could not stop for Death
    By Emily Dickinson
    Because I could not stop for Death –
    He kindly stopped for me –
    The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
    And Immortality.

    We slowly drove – He knew no haste
    And I had put away
    My labor and my leisure too,
    For His Civility –

    We passed the School, where Children strove
    At Recess – in the Ring –
    We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –
    We passed the Setting Sun –

    Or rather – He passed Us –
    The Dews drew quivering and Chill –
    For only Gossamer, my Gown –
    My Tippet – only Tulle –

    We paused before a House that seemed
    A Swelling of the Ground –
    The Roof was scarcely visible –
    The Cornice – in the Ground –

    Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet
    Feels shorter than the Day
    I first surmised the Horses' Heads
    Were toward Eternity –

    Oh and @Ookla the BlowUpperOfStuff wants me to tell everyone that she has a pyramid of peppermint kisses and she's going to put golden tinsel on top and she also has a metal straw.

    What on earth is Hapiko?

  7. It's funny how a pair of headphones and a good playlist can remedy a bad mood.

    I got into a fight with my parental unit, then realized I was completely in the wrong. Sometimes I have to force myself to just let it go. Classic rock hasn't failed me yet.

    definitely didn't just cut a sizable chunk of my hair out on whim. I totally did not take that hair and braid it into a ring because I went down an internet rabbit hole and thought hair jewelry looked cool. That would be irresponsible of me.

  10. Happy Birthday Mr. Writer Person!

  11. "The machine-gunners’ dreams of point blank fire into serried masses of Emus were soon dissipated. The Emu command had evidently ordered guerrilla tactics, and its unwieldy army soon split up into innumerable small units that made use of the military equipment uneconomic. A crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after about a month" - Dominic Louis Serventy

    Happy Koloss head munching day!

      But dare I ask why your location is a future date?

      I'm not really sure. I remember doing extensive calculations. It's most likely a birthday, or when I predicted the world would end. My memory isn't the best. :lol:

      I like how doomsday and someone's birthday are the two viable options. That's very funny.

    The heater broke. I sleep on the opposite side of the house from the fireplace. Tonight is going to be fun. If I never post anything again, it's because I froze to death.

      Nah, they're next week for us all.

  14. Band concert status: hooray, we got it over with.

    Not my worst performance ever (no tornadoes this time), but definitely not my best. I've been gone all last week, and I come back and learn that I actually have duties as the first chair flute. (everyone... staring at me...) I brought the wrong music onstage. I'm lucky the song was so easy and repetitive. My poor, sweet stand partner didn't even get annoyed; she's amazing.

    This performance sounded the best out of any band I've been in, though. Having competent brass players makes a difference. It wasn't quite as good as the symphony orchestra though.

    At least I didn't forget my flute this time. Or give the first chair cellist a cheeseburger. Both of those things end badly.

      *scoffs at the false confidence of the first chairs*

      Wait. *Withdraws scoffing* I can't scoff at myself that's weird.

      Still no cheeseburgers though. How about chicken nuggets? They have a lot less potential for destruction.

      You're not a wimp for being sick in bed all week, a normal flu knocked me out for a week earlier this semester.

      Sometimes they hit like a truck.

  17. Just finished TLM. Spoilers ahead.

    Spoiler

    Wayne died in the best way possible. Anything else would've been detrimental to his character. I'm still sad to see him go, though...

    Spoiler

    I also felt like the book was paced a little weirdly. All the answers were revealed early on in the book, making it easy to predict what was going to happen. Overall, it felt like just a lot of building for era 3. That's fine, but I was hoping for a little bit more.

    Spoiler

    Still a lot better than most of the random trash I find on library shelves, though. I'm sad that Kelsier didn't play a huge role...

      Amusing. I wonder how long it will take for them to get shut down.

  19. My eight year old brother is getting baptized today. 

    It's funny. He still seems so little to me, but he's officially no longer a little child.

      Cellist get your learner's permit

      It's worth it

      I was reluctant too

      But driving is soooooo nice

    3. The Wandering Wizard

      The Wandering Wizard

      Yes, get it!

      You will need to learn to drive sometime.

      The earlier you get it the more time you have to practice.

      Especially practice parking, that's hard to do, until you have practice.

    4. That1Cellist

      That1Cellist

      I plan on it, eventually. 

      Thanks for the encouragement!

  23. Have you ever been backing out of a parking spot, but then you forget to switch into drive before you accelerate? I did that multiple times today. Just about gave my mother a heart attack.

      I've never driven before, but that sounds like something out of a movie! Haha.

      Not yet, but I have attempted to park between two lines and failed miserably. I think my dad still has the video.

  24. Hint: the key is somewhere on my profile. 

    Spoiler

    If you can solve this, I will forever regard you as a person with excellent cipher solving skills. :D If anyone notices that I made a mistake, please correct me.
