Day #19
Happy Mental Health Awareness month!!!
Today I cleaned my room at my dad’s house. For some reason I have no motivation at his house and only a bit at mom’s. But I was able to motivate myself and my section of the room is a lot cleaner.
You are better than waffles. -

So…. I haven’t posted in a while BUT there is a reason.
so, basically, I’ve been super busy with some of the things going on in my life, one of those things is learning how to skateboard. I’ve been taking lessons, and today, I’m proud to say, I dropped in for the FIRST time on a quarter pipe!
so yea, that’s the reason lol.

Proposal:
Remove the grammar-checking feature in google docs when the words are inside quotation marks. I don't care that "neither've" isn't a word; it's something that Lacy says, and therefore it counts!

Today I finished the Wheel of Time.
I didn’t stop after my last SU, actually. I just closed the book long enough to breathe (and type a few paragraphs). Altogether it took me 5.5 hours to read from page 770 till the end, and I wasn’t bored for a minute of it. Didn’t find time to make this one until now.
Just gonna reaffirm what I said this morning about everyone reading the series.
Further thoughts in the spoiler. Don’t open if you haven’t finished it, obviously.
SpoilerYou’ve been warned.
SpoilerThe ability of authors to wrap up a story as massive as WoT is incredible to me. That hypes me even more for SA5, though I do think Brandon said that Robert wrote the ending of MoL before he passed— if that’s the case, I’m glad. He deserves the chance to be the pen behind the final words. His final words.
I’m firmly in the camp of readers who enjoyed the ending and how it wrapped up. And enjoyed basically everything else. It’s… hard to make me not like an ending to a series structured like WoT I personally didn’t notice a whole lot of writing style shifts between 11-12 and think Brandon did more than a fantastic job. I do wish Robert had gotten the chance to finish it, but I’m again glad that he wrote a lot of the major scenes like the Tower if Ghenji and the ending.
Unfortunately, I had a few majorish things spoiled for me before finishing, but that also was my own fault for going to the WoT wiki for research xD Reveals I can remember learning prior to getting to that point in the book:
- Egwene’s death
- Taim’s betrayal
- Rand’s survival and body swap
- Elayne/Aviendha/Min’s survival
- Mat’s survival
- Perrin’s survival
Almost everything else was learned in the moment Whoops. But it was fine, a lot of the twists were still twists and I liked that. Most of what I knew didn’t end up being plot related, just character related.
Mat. Is. The. Best. Character. Do not regret modeling my username after him for one second. His scenes and the places he ended up… I just can’t even say how awesome I think they are. One last toss of the dice…
Other random thoughts in no particular order:
- Am I the only one who really liked the Mat/Tuon romance? Like a lot?
- I ship Pevrandrol a thousand percent.
- Favorite side characters include Talmanes, Androl, Ituralde
- Ngl my favorite chapter sequence in the entire book is Egwene in the White Tower in book 12.
- Yeah basically there are no bad characters in this series and every PoV is one I enjoy reading. So good. It’s so good.
- Apparently very controversial opinion is me not minding Fain’s death? I thought it was fine. Mat finishing him was appropriate.
- Again I can’t think of a single thing that I don’t like about the way this ended xD
I’m left with a sense of… what now, yknow? I think that’s pretty normal for someone finishing WoT. It absolutely gains the status of greatest-of-all-time along with just a couple other series. I can’t stress that enough.
What now is reading the Licanius Trilogy I’ll probably give myself a week to sink everything in. Man.

time for the long rambling post. yay! *sigh*
this has been an awesome year everyone! This has been amazing. I may have been inactive around summer, but I made it up around winter right? Right? I made TLT soooo much better, right? anyways, I have loved all these friendships, it has been so awesome to do ridiculous stuff with y'all, trying new things and such.
now, for the large LIST OF DOOOM! actually not doom, but... the drama, am I right?
anyhow, first up we have @Random Bystander, I just feel like you were one of the first people I met and joined my terrible first rps lol. it was fun when you were active.
@Chinkoln you were one of my first friends you awesome otter! beating you was so fun for those like four days.
@Szeth's Facepalm that stormin' facepalm! lol. you are just so great! I love messing around with you all around the community forum heh. you are so fun to be around.
@Elf you are really awesome! though my first response to you, well, may have been a bit cheeky, I've grown to value you as a really great friend! (same with the rest of you btw)
@Doomslug The Destroyer you awesome person! we were friends from the very moment we met on TPBM. so many similarities. you are an awesome friend and pal! (minecraft is fun too)
@Karamathi'ani'telliteki'un hallo minecraft friend! the second person on minecraft I met who liked Brando Sando! you are so fun to be around even if you aren't really active on either platform anymore.
@Channelknight Fadran you are awesome, what else is there to say?
@Nameless it is fun to try (and fail) to frustrate you on TLT lol. it has been soooo fun to play it with you. thank you for that really awesome storyline with Someone Else talkign to his grandchildren a week or two ago.
was I going to add more? I really should have, a lot more people deserver to be on here for enduring my faults and very weird traits.

I want to cry
I can see the stars. I’m at the beach, and I can see the stars. There aren’t cities near here, no light or noise pollution. I can just stare up and see the stars. Orion, Virgo, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Polaris. It is beautiful.I have traveled to most states, dozens of national parks across over 20 countries. I have been to the places that have supposedly been preserves of nature, preserves of peace. Very rarely have I been to a place and it has been so undisturbed, so clean, so perfect
Also I saw some dolphins

ooh, where?

Which do you think sounds better: "Background and Summary", or "Summary and Background"?
