  1. 314 digits. Idk if I can still repeat them all, but at one point I could. I chose that many because… pi. TPBM can do a backflip
  2. I tread the endless paths and ways,

    Through mist unyielding stride-

    The gritty soil beneath my steps,

    My jog, a tempered glide.

     

    Approaching wayfarers I spy,

    Their journeys meet their close-

    Their joyful banter echoes clear

    Excitement, fully prose.

     

    In ancient peaks where whispers sigh,

    Bands of color unfold,

    Beauty, like pages, softly lies-

    Nature’s tales, scripts of old.

     

    Under the softly burning glow,

    Gazing on quilted skies,

    Clouds weaving dreams in cosmic flow,

    Infinite lullabies.

     

    My confidence - regained and sure,

    Breath under measured toll-

    A summit gleams before my gaze,

    Glinting in the zephyr.

  3. My official guess: 17 temples 1 in Brazil 1 in Panama 2 in the Caribbean 1 in Canada 2 in Utah 3 in Pacific Islands 1 in Florida 1 in South Africa 2 somewhere else in Africa 1 in Southeast Asia 1 in Illinois 1 in Europe

      Awesome! Haven't been to AFY, but I should go sometime.

  5. I took my first AP exam of this school year yesterday, AP Seminar, and it was the easiest one I’ve ever taken. It was so much easier than APES and AP World last year.

    I literally wrote three full pages for Part A, and then 6 full pages spilling onto the 7th for Part B. I had already read two of the four sources before, and I had so much evidence I was able to pull in and cite to support my argument. I literally quoted from memory things psychologists had said in academic journals and articles, it was so good. 
    Now I just have to get through AP Calc, AP Lang, AP Bio, and AP Physics next week

     

    Its late, but May the Fourth be with you

    Today is Revenge of the Fifth. 
    I loved the most recent Mandalorian season.

    I PRed on deadlift with 405

    I sprinted the 400 in 47.09 seconds

    Valedictorian

    I think that’s about it, have fun y’all

      Dang, thanks man.

      I'm honestly rather impressed that you noticed that.

  7. I competed at my state championship yesterday for gymnastics. These were the results!

    Three gold medals
    Three event state champion trophies
    All around gold
    All around state champion 
    Qualified for nationals

  8. I’m a few days late, but Twas my Shardiversary. 
    With a deep sense of gratitude, I humbly express my sincerest thanks to all of the wonderful individuals who have supported me and shown their appreciation for my posts. Your encouragement and unwavering kindness have been a source of motivation and inspiration for me. It is a privilege to be part of such a nurturing community that fosters positivity and goodwill.

    Despite being absent for a few months, please know that you have not been forgotten. I often think of this site and all the wonderful people who make it so special. The moments spent here have been invaluable, and I cherish the memories that we have created together.

    As life's journey takes me on a winding path, I look forward to returning to this platform when the time is right. I hope to be able to contribute to this community once again, and continue to grow and learn alongside all of you. The future is uncertain, but I am filled with optimism and faith that the best is yet to come.

    As I reflect on the past four years that I have spent on the Shard, I am filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. I have grown and evolved as a person, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. With the support of this community, I hope to continue on this journey and make it another four years, and beyond. Thank you again to everyone for being a part of this incredible journey with me.

  9. My philosophy is one of destruction and despair. Duty is but a feeble excuse for the atrocities I have committed. The crown upon my head is stained with the blood of the guilty, and the throne upon which I sit is but a symbol of all that I have destroyed. The sword in my hand is the tool of my destruction, wielded by my own hand. But alas, there are too many rules that bind me. The human form is a curse, a constant reminder of my own inadequacies. I look upon myself and see only failure. I have done my best, yet it was never enough. I tried, and failed, and tried again, yet still it was not enough. I had the power to change the world, yet I left it worse than I found it. I am nothing but a bringer of chaos, a harbinger of death.
    But there is a glimmer of hope in the darkness. Somewhere, there is a home that awaits me, a place of peace where I may find solace. I enter towns, make them mine, yet when I leave, I leave them broken. The words "come and be human with me" spoken by Keaton Henson are a beacon of love in the darkness. But the one who hurt me still haunts me, and in my nightmares they say "I forgive you." Anger is a feeling I cannot escape, but it is also one I cannot accept. It is an ugly thing, and I cannot bear to look upon it. The sun rises and sets, and God teaches me of guilt. When I die, I will be tired, and it will not matter where I go, as long as it is not here. If I were to go to Hell, I know it would be a place of doubt and despair. My only hope is to be free, to let go of all that I have done. I often ask "how can you love me with all that I have done?" But I am not a king, nor a ruler or a lowly commoner. I am not a poet or an educated man. I am death and chaos, the universal force of entropy. I am Scrios.

      It originated in my mind, except Scrios which is destruction in Irish, and the quotes I quoted. The quotes came from other people… cause they are quotes 

    3. Frustration

      That do be how quotes work.

      This is some pretty good work man good job. Glad to have you back.

      Not sure if I’ll be back for long or again, life is life, and sometimes life doesn’t want to be life, so life takes matters into its own hands

  10. I just finished a wonderful cruise on the Disney Dream. Went to Cozumel, Mexico and Disney’s Castaway Cay. 10/10 would do it again. Had a lot of fun and met some great people!

  11. Not religiously, but at times we decide to take a step back and “fast” from the internet of social media. We do this to help recenter our focus on God and Jesus. Also, we do religiously abstain from alcohol, drugs, smoking, wine, swearing, and premarital relations of a… personal nature. I’m probably forgetting some embarrassingly obvious thing we don’t do, but those are the big ones.
  12. The entire time I was watching the BoM video, I was just thinking “Imagine they cast Jason Momoa as Jesus Christ.”
  13. My guess for this conference is 21 temples: 3 in Utah 2 in Brazil 2 somewhere on the East Coast 1 in Canada 4 somewhere in Africa 2 in Pacific Islands 1 in Russia 1 in China I have no guesses about the rest
  14. ALCATRAZ 6 HAS BEEN RELEASED!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! IT IS HERE!!!

      I read it in audiobook form. finished it the day after.

      YE! It's good!

      Szeth's Facepalm

      Couldn't stand the audiobook narrator's voice for book 6, otherwise i'd be finished already

  15. Thank you everyone for the love!

  16. President Nelson is 98 years old. The Queen was 96. Why does he look so much younger, yet is almost a century old. Also why was he still actively skiing up until a few years ago when he became Prophet and they forced him to stop for security reasons.

      Yeah, he does not look 98. He looks old, but not that old!

  17. Long live King Charles. May he rule as long and prosperously as his mother

      Long Live King Charles.

      Yup.

  18. Yes, I completely agree. I did my best to give an Earth definition for what was going on, but like all fantasy magic systems, we can only explain so much. There is always that point that we have to stop and say, “This is magic”
  19. The drag coefficient isn’t an arbitrary number, you cant just decide for it to become 0. She isn’t changing the density of the air (probably), she is changing her speed relative to the air, though This isnt direct and it is an insignificant amount. Air vibrates at several hundred miles per hour, so her going a bit faster doesn’t change much. And once again, she isn’t changing her size.
  20. I have read through all the stuff, and I’m going to try my best to piece together what I gathered from all that, and compare it to my limited knowledge of physics… Physics doesn’t work here. Quantum physics is the answer. For physics to apply, then I think we would be looking at an air resistance formula. You can look at all factors in that, and it doesn’t make sense for an Edgedancer to be manipulating any of them. Lift isn’t changing the density of air, she isn’t directly influencing her speed (when using powers. She obviously does when she slaps the ground), she isn’t changing the drag coefficient (though that is a whole equation of itself), and she isn’t changing her surface area. If you don’t change any of those, then your air resistance doesn’t change. According to quantum physics, when two things encounter each other, there is a non zero chance for one to pass through the other without interacting. This is how things like glass and photons interact to let light pass through. If you fill a glass with water and pick it up, you might not be able to see your hand through the water and glass. But if you squeeze the glass really hard, that infinitesimal amount that your fingers got closer will increase that non zero chance enough to allow some photons to pass through and reach your eyes. This chance exists with bigger things as well, just much much smaller. You could theoretically stand up and walk through a wall, or your cat could fall through you when you pick it up, or a bullet could go through you, etc. The chances are just so incredibly small that… there isn’t even a comparison that would give the right idea. I think that what Lift does is use Stormlight to increase those odds. There isn’t any scientific explanation for what she does, but I think she accesses the spiritual realm to let her pass through air, or at least ignore the presence of the electrons around her that would be pushing against her skin.
  21. Don’t worry, I think Frustration is the first person to put me in his Shardiversary in over a year. It’s my own fault for not being active, but still a bit surprising when I see someone’s Shardiversary from 3 weeks ago, but I never got a ping
  22. Yoooooooo, Happy Shardiversary!!!!!!!!! I love you man, you are so awesome. I love all your content and think you are truly a G.O.A.T. I know I haven’t been super active recently, but I’m glad you are still going strong and doing what you love. Never lose yourself, never lose who you are. You are amazing! Happy Shardiversary!
  23. I’m in Utah. Salt Lake City, to be exact. I’m going to a session of AFY out here!
