I haven’t been on here in a while. Probably won’t be on here a ton. But I still exist, don’t worry!!! A lot has happened. I’m the costumer for my school’s theater department, I’m doing 7 extracurriculars, I turned 16, went on my first ever date, and a bunch of other fun stuff. Life has been so busy I’ve barely had time to sleep. (And my friends keep mothering me because I keep forgetting to eat food…) but it’s great!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY DO AUTHORS HAVE TO BE SO EVIL?!?!? I just finished Defend the Dawn by Brigid Kemmerer (it’s the 2nd book of 3- the first one is Defy the Night) and it left on a HUGE CLIFFHANGER. THE THIRD BOOK DOESNT EVEN COME OUT UNTIL JANUARY. what am i gonna dooooooooo????!?!!?
(also if you like An Ember in the Ashes, then I think you’d like this book. It’s not as epic as Sanderson, but it’s pretty good in its own right)

Turns out my sprained ankle wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be! I can actually walk on it without pain, unless it bends at a certain angle. Yay!!
-
Sprained ankles are not fun.
Especially when you’re dog sitting and have to go on walks. (But luckily I have brothers to do that for me.)
Especially when immediately after you sprained it you try to just walk it off and go walk around for three hours, square dance for another hour, and then go horseback riding.
Especially when you have FSY in one week and you need to be able to walk around.
Especially when you’re going on a three-hour bike ride down a really cool bike trail in three weeks when you only got your bike a few weeks ago and haven’t ridden in a long time.
But I mean other than that, life’s pretty good! At least it’s only a minor sprain and could’ve very much been worse.

To clarify: a friend of my mom has 4-year old twins she named Kaladin and Elend. Babysitting them and their two older brothers (ages 6 and 8) was my first babysitting job (luckily my sister was there too for backup). Did I die? No. Did the kids die? No. Do I call that a success? Yes. (Also coincidentally Elend was more affectionate and Kaladin was more intense- funny how their personalities matched up with their names haha)

I finally got my sewing machine repaired! Well, replaced, technically. But I can actually sew now! Currently, I’m working on a bunch of rice heat packs for my friends. I call them “PAIN BAGS” because that’s what my friends requested I sew onto hers (because my machine can sew letters hehe)

I performed my poem today and someone said he cried because if it. I only messed up once but it was barely noticeable. My highest and lowest scores were 8.1 and 9.1. Why do I still feel nervous even though it’s already done? lol My brain is in a weird place right now haha

's beautiful. congratulations!

Something funny that happened to me today:
So in my drama class, we’re watching West Side Story, and after the scene where the two main characters fell in love, I told my friend, ‘They fell in love after basically just looking at each other and singing a bit! When I date a guy, I’m going to at least, like, know his interests and stuff.”
My friend replies with: “Well, you’d know he’d be interested in you!”
I laughed and said, “That’s the best thing to be interested in!” *hair flip*

I finished my poem!
SpoilerOne friend is sad
The other hates life
Another is mad
And more are in strife
Then why am I happy?
I’m living on a cloud
I’m always so peppy
And have reasons to be proud
When my friends need rescue
I’m a sympathetic soul
But how can I feel cut in two
When I’ve always been whole?
How am I supposed to empathize
With what I’ve never felt?
Should I maybe deemphasize
The feelings with which I’ve always dwelt?
Do I change nothing
Staying blind to what they feel,
Or do I love nothing
And let gloom take the wheel?
Should I only let darkness in my sight
So I can feel like my friend?
Or to them should I be a light
So they know it’s not the end?
Thus my inner turmoil sings
With pleads to understand
And with which my soul does ring
With yearning to take their hand
I want to say “it’ll all be okay”
But would my friends believe me?
To me, it’s always been this way
So how do I set them free?
This is all so confusing
But maybe I don’t need to revise
Maybe I’m doing enough and improving
So my happiness I won’t need to compromise
When they’re lost
Their path I can illuminate
After dangerous terrain they’ve crossed
Safety for them I can communicate
When they seem to forget
I can pull their mind back
To where who they are isn’t a threat
A safe place where their feelings we can unpack
If they start to panic
I’ll try to calm their mind
Their thoughts wild, tangled, and frantic
We can work to unwind
And when they're trapped in darkness, in pain they cannot hide,
In where the world to them, it seems, is anything but kind
I can help them heal and grow to see the other side
Though their life may be full of it, in me contention they won’t find
I don’t have to know what my friends are going through
To be the friend they need
Even if the world’s untrue
In honesty our lives can lead
Be there for the ones you fill with care
Lend a loving heart and hand
Keep far from all the sorrow and despair
Be a friend and understand
Sometimes friendships are what we rely upon
The only rock in our foundation
So together we must keep them going strong
For friends are the reasons of our creation
My friend (who is a Sanderfan) and I were talking about what roles Cosmere characters would take on in a high school setting and it was really fun and maybe I’ll make a thread about it if I feel motivated enough.- Show previous comments 1 more

Aww. I relate to this about a lot of people on here... I haven't really ever struggled with mental health issues, so I feel very... weird when people talk about them on here. Just like, "hi, I'm here. I can't relate, but..."

Morningtide: hey no way me too!
LukeWasTaken: that’s really funny
Shallan Stormblessed: That is kind of how I feel, and some of my inspiration for writing this! I’m glad the message came across

I need help!!!
I’m participating in my school’s slam poetry competition and the poem is due tomorrow and I haven’t finished writing it yet! If anyone has any revisions, ideas, thoughts, or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated!
Here’s the poem, so far:

———After that, I’m planning on making like a list of actions that good friends take to help friends in need, in a format of like “When my friends ask, I’ll answer // When they talk, I’ll listen // When they cry, I’ll comfort” etc. so if you have any ideas for more verbs I can use, that would be great.

...isnt the point of slam poetry that it's improvised
-
after some quick googling, apparently not. it's only sometimes improv. guess that's the only kind i've been exposed to before

I love what you have so far!
You got this

Update on Pepper:
She’s recovering very well. The vet says she has no broken bones, and the only thing we have to watch out for is making sure she doesn’t overuse or hurt her lungs. She can move around freely and eat and do stuff without looking like she’s in pain.
On the other hand, I went to my school’s Sadie Hawkins dance with some friends, and I wore all my new, sparkly jewelry (including a tiara). I’m pretty sure I turned heads because of it. The DJ took song requests, so I asked him to play We Like to Party by the Vengaboys. During the song, my friend made a conga line and I led it! It was a very fun experience. After the dance, the friends who I went with came over to my house to have a sleepover and it was fun.
Also, on an unrelated topic: I got a sewing desk! It was basically made for me. It’s silver with white detailing is on the drawers, with the inside of the drawers are painted bright pink! And the best part is that I got it for only $100!

A lot has happened today.
First, happy birthday to Nacho! He’s now one year old!
He was so little when we got him and now he’s a big fluff muffin
The second thing that happened was that after my PE class (which is right before lunch) I had a vertigo episode so I got picked up early and now I have a bunch of homework from all my missed classes.
The third thing that happened was that I got a bunch of matching jewelry from Amazon (including a tiara, of course) that I can wear to my school’s Sadie Hawkins dance with the theme ‘dipped in gold’. I also went shopping with my mom and I got a new ballet leotard and some fleece fabric to make super fluffy pajama pants.

Remember how I said I choreographed a dance for my sister and her friend? Well they made me do it again- twice. It was actually really fun and my sister and I got to hang out at the friend’s house from 1:30-6:00. We made mug cakes and messed around and danced and it was more enjoyable than I thought hanging out with two ten-year-olds would be. This time, the songs I choreographed were (and I still didn’t have a say in the song choice) Flowers by Miley Cyrus and Take a Look at Us Now from Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile.
-
I took a nap earlier and while I was falling asleep, my sister made me agree to help her and a friend choreograph a dance to a song, because I had helpful input the last time they did that.
Lo and behold, I was woken up a few hours later with my sister urging me to get up to go to her friends house (and this friend is the daughter of my seminary teacher so I know the family). I choreographed to the song ‘Bloody Mary’ by Lady Gaga (they chose the song, not me) and I kinda stole some choreo from a thing I did in my spin club thing when we learned some stuff to that same song. Now my sister and her friend want me to come back tomorrow to do more songs because apparently I’m good at choreography.
