You’re back!

I want to ruin my pants

(those who know know, for those who don’t, I have one thing to say to you: Rax.)

That was a *lot* of spambots 

oh, I forgot to say, my nose randomly decided to bleed in the middle of the fourth movement of the last piece I played yesterday. I blame the horns

life update:

my first concert with my youth orchestra has concluded.

I continue my immense amount of status updates to advertise the toki pona thread I made for all who are interested in it.

mi awen e sona sin mute mi. mi toki tawa sina mute e ni: mi pali e kulupu tawa jan pi toki pona pona tawa ona.

 

miss you!

Dune in 3D: good!

spoilers for what was changed from book to movie (no plot or anything spoilers though)

 

obligatory I have 90 followers SU, I guess

Dune: good!

mi wile e sina kama sona toki pona
(I want you to learn toki pona, literally "me want you arrive knowledge tokipona")

As of today for most of you and as of 23:16 for me, clone season is over!

Happy Pizzamas!

I think I’m officially a Lurker now

Clone Season has come once more! We celebrate the anniversary of 1 000 000 posts on the shard for 1 000 000 seconds

I have been a member of the Shard for 3 years (and 16 days). This place has been so fun, it seems like just yesterday that I joined, but it also feels like I’ve been here forever. Without further ado: appreciations!

Mods, though none of you will read this (except Ene, who is listed separately), I would like to thank you for keeping this community one of the most inclusive, friendly, and wholesome ones I’ve seen.

@AonEne, you were one of the first (if not *the* first) Shardbuddies I had. I’m soooo glad I got to meet you this summer. I can’t really words about how much your friendship means to me. I have yet to drink from the bottle of dubious soda.

@Tesh, you’re too interesting and funny for your own good. No matter how tired I am, I will stay up to talk to you. Meeting you was awesome and it WILL happen again. Sneezing isn’t normal.

@Butt Ad Venture, I would also stay up talking to you if it weren’t for the fact that both of us would just be yelling at each other to sleep :P.

@xinoehp512, I love tLTing with you, looking at your pixel art, and just talking with you, though I don’t have much of an opportunity to do so.

@Zephrun's Imperium, your art is SOO GOOD! I still need to find a place to put the piece you gave me on my wall, and I hope I can see you in person again, you’re just so nice to talk to.

@Hen (Nna), [insert comment about our marriage here], but seriously, talking to you is so fun (and watching you freak out about aART, as well). The possibility of my meeting you is fluctuating, but you are one of the people who are at the top of my list to meet. DFTBA!

@Mist, you are awesome. You always know the best thing to say. (Unlike me, as I have run out of things to say)

Shortie (@Condensation), meeting you was fun, I could finally figure out how short you actually are.

@Vapor, I love talking to you, and I can’t wait to see you in person again.

@Emi, I haven’t been able to talk to you much, and I really miss it. I hope I can meet you this summer.

@DramaQueen, your play was AWESOME!!!!!! (As are you). I want more geck pics.

@Channelknight Fadran: your world building is really cool! (even though I still haven’t read anything of yours)

@King of The Oreo: Your art is awesome and I wish I could join more of your drawing streams.

I have run out of words, so I will give messages to people, then list those left on the list after my brain stoped languaging

@Scarletfox: WE WILL PLAY SOON

@Flying: YOU ARE SO CLOSE I WILL MEET YOU SOMEDAY

@Lecky Twig: Borsalino > Zoro 

Fritz, Truthie, KoI, Spock, Jessie, BoP, Salad, Frustie, Exp, Dark, Enter, Flaffle, Rev, and anyone I may have forgotten, I wish I had words to express how much your friendship means to me.

I love y'all.

(sorry for the double ping, formatting was atrocious on that one)

WoT trailer is out!!!!!!

(My school blocks most of YouTube though:( )

I would like to thank school for distracting me from my 3 year shardiversary ten days ago.

Two updates: 

1: I can longer unsee that m-101 (my Latin classroom number) looks like m-lol

2: I am in a youth orchestra now. If any of you are also in a youth orchestra playing Carnival Overture and Scheherazade, go talk to one of the two bassists.

TL;DR at the bottom

Most of you have probably read Faeiaoeadroeoeaoen's status update (and others which may have been posted by the time I write this), but I had some misadventures that he was not a part of. (Don't ask me why I'm writing this the way I am, it is probably due to the books I have read recently)

13th July, 2021:

I make sure all tiny hats, wooden rings, glass mushrooms, and candied orange peels are packed, along with all else I need (and much that I don't) before I leave my house with my mother (the cat is not amused). We drive for three hours before having to stop for the night, and when I sleep, I am still unsure about what would be happening and whom I would meet the next day.

14th July, 2021:

More driving, though urgency has increased, as word has come that I would be meeting with @Tesh, @Channelknight Fadran, @Zephrun's Imperium, @DancingQueen, @AonEne, @FriarFritz, and @Tani (somewhat unexpectedly, I might add (see Faeiadroeoan's update for context)) at the time I expected to reach my hotel. Though I drive for a few hours, the majority of the driving is done by my wonderful mother, both for speed, and so we can continue listening to The Night Circus, the audiobook we had started the day before (both of these reasons boil down to the fact that my mother, shocker of all shockers, has more driving experience than me). I arrive late, though earlier than some (whom I shall not name here), and we have a great time, though Tessie, Tani and Faeiadroeoan have to leave early. The rest of us stay and talk until a time that would have been called night in any other season.

15th July, 2021:
A second meeting is scheduled at lunch, this time including @Mist, @Vapor, and Shortie (@Condensation), though our resident member of an unknown royal family sadly can not make it. Once again, the meeting lasts until after those with fuller schedules must leave, though not as long as last time. I play a game with my mother to pass the rest of the day. Unknown to me, this is the last time I will see the Knight of Many Vowels and the Star for some time, and proper goodbyes are not given.

16th July, 2021:

Nothing is scheduled until the evening, so my mother and I escape to a slightly cooler place. Once the meeting time comes around, I join Fritz and Ene and we visit the most peculiar store. It sells only soda, and most of that is root beer. I buy three root beer-adjacent sodas (one of which is the only bottle of its kind in the entire store, making it slightly dubious, though I am assured that it is safe). Shortie and her sisters join us once we return to the meeting place, and all plans for movie night are thrown out the window, as we decide to talk instead. I am ripped away from the gathering too soon, though when I get to my hotel room, I am quite tired. I do not give proper goodbyes.

17th July, 2021:

I wake up early to say goodbye to Tesh, Channie, and Tani, though I miss Channie because I underestimated the walk time. Once more, nothing is scheduled until the evening, so my mother and I escape the heat by going up once again. Once it is time, we head to Drammie's production of Newsies, which is fabulous. A proper goodbye is given, and my time with those whom I have shared my existence with for the past 1-3 years draws to a close. We do not listen to our book in the car on the way to our hotel, as we want to keep the memory of the show alive as long as possible.

18th July, 2021:

 More driving, we finish our book and start another. I arrive home tired and stiff from the car, yet giddy from meeting those whom I know so well for the first time.

 

TL;DR:

Connie is short.
I saw the people mentioned above (my excitement can be measured by the amount of text)
I got dubious spruce beer
I saw Queen's production of Newsies (which was awesome)
Y'all should read The Night Circus

Hi Shortie.

Happy Molehill Volcano day!!!!!

(yes I know that nobody will understand the reference)

(also, yes I know that I missed the time by 2.6666 hours (if we're looking at the timezone that Molehill Volcano would likely be in), also I know that it happens every seven years, so it might not even be this year, and lastly, I know that Molehill Volcano is a fiction even inside of the book it came from)

Very important life update:
