I went birding yesterday and added 5 new birds to my life list :D Only got photos of one of them, but still definitely a good trip.

Broad-tailed Hummingbird:

I also got a closer and longer look at a Barn Owl than I've gotten before :)

The owl looks like no-face.

Hey, I'm on the top contributors for this week! That's never happened to me before! Unless it has happened, and I was just too stupid to even notice. I feel proud, even though I'm not quite sure what I've done that's been upvote-worthy, but oh well.

Everyone should upvote this to bump me even higher.

Hey I made it because of a MLP post and my birthday. Enjoy it.

I know, I wasn't complaining. I was just...surprised. I wish there was a word for 'being surprised' or 'acting surprised'.

@StrikerEZ congratulations. Not only are you in the top weekly, you're going to win the day.

And I think the word you're looking for is shocked.

Wait, what? No way!

Also, I meant more like a word I could use as an -ing verb.

Eeeeee!!! Concert was amazing! :D (setlist if you're interested)

Here are some pics:

The concert had a literally perfect ending, guys. (Still while everybody's singing "Run", but a bit later)

And an admittedly low-quality video (audio's all right) of one of their unreleased songs, "Right as Rain", courtesy of my mother:

How did you navigate this site without going crazy before reading it? 

Um...I didn't?

Anyway, it wasn't that bad. I just avoided the Stormlight section and skipped over anything that seemed even slightly spoiler-y.

The weather here is cool and damp today, which pleases me. I spent about an hour this morning taking macro photos of snails on the sidewalk and retaining walls outside my work cause they were EVERYWHERE. I think I got some nice ones. :)

AND I'm going to see Wonder Woman tonight, finally!

Today has been a good day. Nothing really exciting happened, but nothing absolutely horrible happened!

So, I got to just wake up and laze around for a little bit before I went to clarinet sectionals for a little over an hour, then I got to come home, eat, and sit around and do nothing! Like I said, it's been a good day indeed.

Yesterday was my birthday, so no more of being a (insert censored word(s) here) teenager. Of course, I'm past the point where a birthday makes me feel different from what I was before, but hopefully this one will change how other people perceive me somewhat... Then again, I don't think it will affect those I know, and people I don't know always seem to take me for a 24 year old, so maybe not.

@Slowswift Looks like it was a nice concert. I only know one of their songs: Heavy. I was surprised at how well they hide their spikes. As members of Collective Soul, I'm sure they are full on inquisitors!

apparently correctly formatting nested parentheses by making the inside ones brackets doesn't sit well with only bracketing an 's'... everything was in strikethrough after that XD

Ran a battle royale for my dnd players tonight. I had to push things forward faster than I would have liked in the second half as it was getting late, but it still went well and it came down to the wire on who won. Some very fortunate rolls and a major risk that paid off turned the course of the battle.

I also took the opportunity to create the largest 3d terrain map I've done so far, using the majority of my dwarven forge. (My brother helped with designing and building it too which increased the quality further.) I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Here are some pics :) (Dog included for scale.)

The bridge in the centre can change orientation to rest on either stone tower when certain levers were pulled. (Cue multiple "Pull the lever Kronk" jokes.)

@Claincy - that is incredibly cool. I DM, but I usually just use imagination, or if a map is really necessary I use paper. 

But that is so cool it makes me regret not having proper maps....  

 

Hrmmm. I've been considering something for some time; as a DM I was wondering what you'd think: making maps, characters & monsters.... using Lego. Thoughts?
