  1. So, does anyone remember that time I went to a regional science fair and won there and then went to a state science fair and won again and then went to a national conference? Yeah, today's the second iteration of that regional science fair. Except this time I'm present my senior research. Let's see how far up the ladder I get this time.

  2. “Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.” —Mat Cuathon, Wheel of Time Find the moments of joy, mkay? In a sky of darkness and despair, find the stars. (If you’re @The Bookwyrm, find the giant balls of burning gas and admire the science behind them) I don’t have time to respond to everyone’s SU’s, but I see so many people who are so alone, and so lost, and sad. I see you. I remember you. I hear you. If you need me, I’m here. Keep laughing, ok? Find reasons to smile. Sometimes, we just have to take advice from the Lord of Scars. If we can laugh, we are winning.

  3. Ok ok so last night AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH To those of you who don’t know, my story was chosen to be featured in this years teen anthology (through teen author boot camp and owl hollow press). So last night I got to go to a release party and gala for that. I met all the other authors, which was super cool. BUT the person who wrote the foreword for it is none other than Christopher Paolini. So I got to meet him. And he signed the book. And then we had a very long conversation about books and beautiful prose and he gives Dune 10/10 and then gave me book recommendations And anyway AAAAAAHHHHHHHH that was so cool

  6. Good afternoon, everyone. Since May 2022, I've been known as CalanoCorvus. That has been my name, my next iteration succeeding Doomslug the Destroyer. CalanoCorvus now has been succeeded by Medium. I am a man of many mediums. Art, music, writing, and abounding creativity. And within each form of creativity is still further forms of creative expression. With music, for instance, I take inspiration from whatever sounds good to me. I am not partial to a specific genre, I do not assign myself a specific field to lie in. I use everything available to me. I use every medium. With writing, the same is true. I am a poet. I am an author. I am a storyteller. I use so many mediums of writing. Thus, I am a Medium. I am Medium. The Influences are never ending, and Everything is able to be used for creative expression. This is my new persona. Medium.

  8. Well, I’m home. NYC was incredible, life changing in some ways. But I missed my mountains. And I don’t know how you big city people do it, I don’t think I could ever live in a city bigger than like…Provo. Nah, Provo’s too big for me. Anyway, it was so fun, and now I have like 4 F’s and I perform Saturday but that’s not important! Life is good ALSO, I decided I wanted a place to put my pins so I did that. I forgot to iron the fabric first though…oh well.

  9. Can we just acknowledge for a moment how much of a good song Pigstep is? Like, genuinely. It's good writing music, it's good gaming music, it's just good music in general. Imo, it is the best Minecraft disc we have gotten, though not necessarily the best Minecraft music as a whole. It's good music, but not necessarily good Minecraft music. That's a whole other thing though.

  12. Heads up to my favorite online space: I’m going to be doing a mission trip to South Padre Island over spring break! If you want info, here is link: https://www.beachreachspi.org/ TLDR: I’m gonna be shuttling college kids to where they need to go on the island so they don’t get hurt, and talk about Christ during the van rides! So, I’m gonna be mostly offline from Saturday-Friday. During this time, @Spark of Hope if you want/need to, you gain control over Pic. I just need a summary of what he did come Saturday. Beyond that, I’ll have a whole load of stories, so if you want them, put a status on my page come Saturday!

  14. GUYS CONFIRMED, I'M MY DIRECTOR'S FAVORITE AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH So we were performing our region pieces in front of the class today, and he's choosing which ones go to region. But it's round one of I guess qualifying, so basically no one has. (there are 4 people from the audition-only shakespeare class who are on his fancy list on the white board, but that was all). My scene partner and I did ours, and then at lunch we were on his board and I'M SO HAPPY Ok but it's even better, because at the beginning of class he was talking about our goals for region. And he was saying that he wants to get 1st overall, and for all 25 of our pieces to qualify for state, and a bunch of things. My scene is a contemporary scene (which, by the way, already had two of the four available spots filled) and when he got to that he was like "I want to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for contemporary." Then he made eye contact with me and goes "So no pressure, [Eddie]" which was great. But we all went through and now I'm on the list and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH and it's crazy because the people I would say are our best actors aren't up there yet. Meaning our Jean Valjean, our Romeo, our Othello, our Malcolm, our Lady Macbeth, our Peter...and like I know I'm not better than them, but for being younger than all of them it feels so scudding good that he immediately wants us, and that we're ready. Oh and then at lunch he was like "[Eddie] did you see the board" and I was like "yes, thank you so much" and he was talking about how excited he is to do this with us, and I told him I want to be his first place team and it was great and ANYWAY SORRY I JUST NEED TO RANT BECAUSE it feels so scudding wonderful and I'm so excited and I love theatre but I didn't have the energy to write a love letter (my OC Liz is stealing all my writing power xD) OH AND AND AND EVEN BETTER NEWS I'm making friends with our director's 2 year old son, and he's finally decided he doesn't hate me okay that's all I've got, sorry this was such a mess xD if you stayed with me to the end yaaaaay thanks <33 One family.

  17. UPDATE ON MISSION TRIP The trip has gone really well! I’ve been sharing the gospel with dozens of people, and while I haven’t seen anyone choose to put Jesus in charge of their lives, they have mostly been willing to listen. I’m running on much less sleep than normal, and have played roughly 15 hours of Dominion. (If any of y’all want to play later after this trip the board game is on Apple and Android for free with no ads) I have had a wonderful time, and have grown a lot more confident in sharing my faith, so I guess if any of y’all have questions about Christianity (specifically non denominational) I really like talking and listening! Anyway, Cash out, see y’all soon.

  20. My little brother is the sweetest little thing so as most of you know I’ve been pretty sick over the past couple of days (started feeling bad on Wednesday, it was the worst on Saturday and Sunday and I’m still feeling under the weather), so I took school off yesterday and didn’t have it at all today cuz reasons. So my mom and lil bro and I (he’s preschool age) just chilled for most of the day, which isn’t really important. Anyways, everyone’s home from school and work now, and we went out to the chiropractor and picked up some groceries, but my mom didn’t want to make a whole dinner for seven people when we got home tonight (which is totally understandable) so we just went and grabbed some McDonald’s and took it home to eat. I got a McChicken but somehow ended up with two (my older brother was the one who ordered so uh that’s prolly what happened—) and I ate the first one fine and ate the second one partway and halfway through I just started to feel pretty gross so I laid down across my chair and my older brother’s (he’d left at this point) because it would help me feel better blah blah blah. And then I see this little 3.5 year old ADORABLE face with big blue eyes and rosy cheeks and aaaah he’s adorable just pop over the corner of the table which means he’s laying across it so obviously I’m like “hey buddy can you sit in your chair please? I want you to be safe because you could fall and get hurt” And my dad’s tryna get him off the table lol and he just reaches out his arms and says my name and I realize he’s tryna hug me so I give him and hug and he sits back down lol and it made me feel so much better not less sick but like I was totally overstimulated today and it just was like awesome. GO HUG SOMEONE! It increases dopamine. True fact.

  22. Well, it took a lil bit for me to decide what I wanted my "I'm back" post to be... But! I decided to post more Watercolor Art So, here we go! I did 3 trout for an environmental science thingy for school. IT TOOK HOURS- BUT I DID IT!! (yes, i KNOW the brookie doesn't look right! i was rushed and I messed up a bunch) And, my Mom's birthday is on Saturday so I painted her a flower. It's supposed to be a ranunculus, but it looks more like a rose. Not the best, but it was okay. Anyway, I'm still alive, even if I don't feel like it. Love y'all, Stay safe, My PMs are always open. ~ Stick

  28. I AM BACK!!! Mission trip is over. Oh my storming goodness did I need this. Everyone around me needed it too. I have soooo many stories, so if you want one, then simply ask! (Legitimately find my AMA or post a status on my profile). As I’m writing this, I have had a grand total of 1.5 hours of sleep over the past 24 hours. So i know I ain’t gonna be the most coherent. But here is what’s going on. @Spark of Hope @The Aspiring Archivist @Weaver of Lights @TheRavenHasLanded (and anyone else I forgot) I’m back for the insanity clinic!!! Let’s get the plot rolling and test the new character development. I also need to play more games with y'all (Yall being the whole shard). So if yall own switches, send me the friend code. Or get Dominion. Either do the worky. Finally, this trip has reinforced and confirmed my belief that everyone needs Jesus. He’s given me peace, and I want everyone to have that joy. If anyone has any questions about Christianity, I’d love to talk through them with you! Seriously. Your questions give me new things to think about. Anyway, that’s an incoherent ramble that I ain’t proofreading, so good luck reading this! I have missed yall, and can’t wait to talk with yall again. Cash out!!

  32. To the theatre, regarding tomorrow, And tomorrow, And tomorrow. Do I want you? Tell me. Tell me! Tell me what to want, and I’ll want it. Just don’t make me choose. I was tangled in your web, so pull me back in. Twist your ropes around my neck, bind me to you, and I’ll stay. Just don’t make it my choice. Don’t release me, for then I have to wonder. Do I want you? Do I want all that you offer? Do I want your world? Do I want to build a jeesh of your cast? Should I want it? I think I want you. No. No, I know I want you. But I still wonder. Because you are the entryway to a world of glittering skies, of love and loss and terror and treachery. You are the gateway to the world I’ve always thought I wanted. But there are parts I never expected. Parts I’m not sure if I want. Can’t I just have you? Can’t I just have the beauty without the pain? Just once? I’m not mad at you. I don’t blame you. I just…I can’t stand in the entrance forever. So do I step forward? Or do I run away? And why must I choose? For today, I am with you. For today, we can be at peace. But tomorrow is coming. Cages or wings…let them fly. I want a cage. A cage is safety. A place with no choices. Will you be my prison, love? Will you hold me tight and never let me go? Will you give me walls that I can rail against without fear of what’s on the other side? Will you clip my wings so that I don’t ever try to leave? Will you do that for me? I don’t know what I want. Just that I want you. But… But what? The choices of today can’t be made tomorrow. Tomorrow, there are more choices. Tomorrow, I will need to become something new, Or you will destroy me. It hurts, love. And you aren’t here to take away the hurt. And that hurts most of all. Rue

  33. Uhmm... Hi people... Yesterday I was feeling arty... So I messed around with some fine line pen things... On a lil envelope... here it is Then... I was looking through my camera roll on my phone and found some absolutely gorgeous pansies They were practically begging to be painted with watercolor. I'll just say this. I'm not a painter, but I like to mess around. Here's the first attempt at a pansy And here is the reference for that one. And here is my second attempt And the reference for that one And the THIRD AND I THINK BEST PANSY! And the reference for this one puts it to shame, but here it is anyway So, that's what I did... I enjoyed it... I'll post all this in my art thread too. Love you all ~ Stick P.S. Let me know your favorite?

  49. I feel like I want to write a poem. But it's been so long and I don't remember how without making it scudding depressing. Most of my recent poems are just angsty word vomits, but i want to make something beautiful, like the poetry I used to write. Like Where the Wind Whispers or Boy With the Umbrella or... or... idk. Something light and hopeful that I didn't half-ass for school, but not something sad either. Something pastel yellow with lavender clouds and a silver breeze. I don't remember the last time I wrote something beautiful. Wow. I think all the tragedy I write is like finally catching up to me. I'm gonna go on a poem hunt and post some of my old, pretty ones here. Then maybe I can use those as inspo. hmmm anyways idk what the point of this SU is but yep have these I guess
