Um… is the guy in your pfp holding a fish in a bag?
Sorry, just curious -
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
I put in an order for the Warbreaker Leatherbound!!!!!
How did this come to be?
Thanks for asking, I’ll tell you. So I was at the Grand Canyon and then I had to go back to my Grandparents house. We got in the car and my dad said “[my name] if you don’t talk for the entire drive I will give you 100 bucks”See I am a very talkative person and he didn’t think I would make it ten minutes, but I was determined. You see I really really wanted a Leatherbound. You should not come between a bibliophile and their books, besides I can be very stubborn.
8 1/2 hours later I’m 96 (long story) AUD richer.
I wonder if you can guess what I did with that money? Was I responsible? No. Did I put it in the bank? No.vDid I donate it to our church? ( well 10 percent but no)
I bought a $159.26 book. I’m so happy!!!!!!!!

It was your first time seeing snow?? thats insane! I'm glad you enjoyed it
(as someone who has grown up with lots of snow)
-
thank you very much! And yes, I live in a place where it never snows and none of my family do either so, I’ve just never seen it. I’m more excited about the leatherbound though …
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'm glad you're so happy! Books are definitely a priority

I’m at the Grand Canyon. Or rather, I’m next to it and am going there tomorrow.
In other news Tress is just … wow. I have no words I … wow.

I'M READING TRESS RIGHT NOW AND AGHUUHUGHUHIGLelIEUYIHQUN#IP*(: ITS REALLY GOOD.
I've heard the grand canyon is cool though, have fun at that.

I love that book. Probably one of my new favorites.

Thanks for the follow, .

Hey Robin I am going to petition for the rep limit to be moved up (if you never hear from me again the mods have killed me) Can I quote this reply to an SU you made?
QuoteYeah I hit the limit all the time.
I don’t have to mention you if you don’t want but I need as much support as I can get so I don’t die from fear of the moderators as quickly.
-
*to be read in an 60s/70s all American commercial accent*
“this rusting reputation limit!”
How many times have you heard yourself thinking these or similar words? Will you support the proposition of moving the rep limit to 40? The number is low enough to hopefully prevent manipulation but high enough we have some more freedom.
If you read that first statement and thought something along the lines of“*scoff* I’ve never/rarely reach the rep limit” OR “I don’t really use the reputation feature much” OR “I’m confused”
then why don’t you support this movement also? It will not affect you negatively in any way and for those of you who suffer from “Ican’tgooverthelimit-o-phobia”perhaps you will use the wonderful feature our Mods provided for us without worrying about reaching the end of your point spending abilities!
reply to this SU with I’m in (or something along those lines) to support this movement today!
I am going to post a topic in the 17th shard discussion asking the mods about this (politely) it would help if I had supporters, or at least people who were neutral.
I will quote you in the topic.
feel free to tell me if you are against this/ think it is a waste of time/ bad idea! I will accept all feedback, and at the moment I don’t even know if anyone cares about this issue. I will quote you also to show that it is not just a thing that everyone wants done.
PM me if you don’t want your opinion public however be warned I will still mention you in the topic but just as a Sharder who wanted to remain Nameless.This SU will most definitely not reach the majority of the shard, if you know any Sharders who are interested in this please refer them to this SU.
The topic will take a while to construct and it might not be up until Saturday because I will be busy with my moms birthday. If you really don’t think I should post it you probably have until tomorrow morning.-Cin

they used to be regular people?
I'm of the opinion that mods are still people. Though, it would be interesting if they were cyborgs... -
I meant ‘regular people’ in the sense that they were (and still are) Sharders/Sanderfans just as you and I before the gained the coloured text under their names.
Sorry, that was poorly wordedBut I wouldn’t rule out the cyborg theory…

Well I am proud to say that I have temporarily relieved the ElDorado public library of all its Brandon Sanderson books. I borrowed the WoK audiobook, books 2,3 and 4 of Alcatraz, (everyone needs a good dose of middle grade in their lives) , and Arcanum Unbounded. I just returned the first Alcatraz book and Skyward, the latter of which I have not read yet because I got it for Christmas.
I am quite appalled in the few Sanderson books they had, it’s a tragedy (just channeling my inner Melody)
A kid has to be prepared if they are going on a road trip to Texas is my only defence. Besides I can’t get the Alcatraz books (barring the sixth) in my country, if I’m in the US I may as well make the most of it!

My family does the same thing with libby xD
-
I’m going to Texas soon and the only thing on my agenda is signing up for libraries (oh and family) it feels illegal
-
books are quite important.
-
Did I see a bookstore today? Yes
Did I decide that I was just going to browse for a couple minutes? Yes
Did I end up buying The Rithmatist and nearly buying a second copy of TLM? Yes
Am I sensing a pattern? … yes
Do I care? No

I love Canva, I use it all the time. I can imagine the time it took to get that over-under thing going, it totally pays off it’s awesome
-
How did you do the over under thing btw I’m curious.
-
Copy and pasted the element, then cropped both of them so they lined up and put one under the star and the other over it.

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness gracious me!
I met my baby cousin for the first time yesterday and he is so cute!! I haven’t had internet net till now but I just had to tell you guys! It’s his first Christmas and we get to spend it with him, I feel so honoured. Did I mention he is adorable?- Show previous comments 1 more

Ah, yes. I've known a few baby cousins, they tend to be that way.

Welp, I went into Barnes and Noble today with a plan to not buy anything.
I walked out with Elantris and a really cool version of PJO: TLT for my little bro for Christmas.
I only restrained myself so much because I didn’t have enough money with me to buy everything.I also went to the library and checked out four more books.
Do I have a problem? Maybe. Do I care? No.

Wooo! I’m on a plane to LAX. I’m visiting family for Christmas and I’m super excited. It is a 16 1/2 hour flight (with transfer) but I have four fresh books to tide me over, two of which are Sanderson.
I am so tired because we got up at 4 am to get to the airport but I am super duper excited!

I landed! ( actually I landed at 5am PST, but I only got service now)

ooooooo yay! have an AMAZING time!
-
Have fun! Hope all goes well.

Omg Omg Omg.
My bff and I got each other early Christmas presents and this wonderful human being got me this:
SpoilerAnd what makes this a million times more thoughtful is that she absolutely is sick of me nattering on about Brandon and trying to get her to read anything by him. Besides the fact that she wont read Sanderson I have the best bff ever!!!
ahhhhhhhhh iloveitiloveitiloveit

I made an art thread!! It is called Cin's sketches n' stuff (yay alliteration).
Thanks Star, Aes, and Facepalm for giving me that final shove.
I am quite nervous to share my art with anyone except my little brother, but I know you will all be nice. Please give me feedback. I want to get better!
-
Should I start an art thread?
I mean I want to because I think it would be a great way to improve my confidence and get feedback, but would anyone care?
Hmm …To art or not to art?
That is the question I bring to you.

Whether tis’ nobler in the mind to suffer the constructive criticism, or endure the absence of feedback.

The shard made me WAY more confident in my art. Go for it. May it help improve your skill.

Same as star :D when i first posted i was totally sure my art was trash, but King of the Oreo (may he rest in peace (don't worry he's not actually dead he just deleted his account)) sent me fanmail and it 100% boosted my confidence.

All the Warbreaker art is so pretty so I decided to change my profile to some of this beautiful work. Credit to DAN DOS SANTOS for both my pfp and the banner!

Ohhh, I am so sorry! That sounds awful. I weep for you. Kind of.

Like, figuratively weep for you.

Yeah, I got that *amusement noises*
it’s only taken so long because it belongs to another library in the same system that is really far away, and people keep borrowing it over there!

Whenever I see your pfp my brain immediately runs through the Perry the platypus theme song.
doo bee doo bee doo bah! doo bee doo bee doo bah! PERRY!
