There are small mistakes I am very annoyed with, but I'm happy with it overall. Nice job! On 6/29/2017 at 6:05 PM, Idealistic Mistborn said: I just finished my last exam!!! (at least until September) and tomorrow I'll go to my graduation, just the ceremony because I left two subjects and the final project for the next year, but close enough. Nice!

Erunion Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Ah just DM'd a pretty epic D&D session (first one in a while). While my party did some pretty epic stuff, the best part was this: I'd planned an encounter with an Umber Hulk to really weaken the party and get things going before the main event. One of my party is a boy wizard (super excitable, super smart, super foolish) who frightens easily. Every time he gets terrified he fires off a random spell. Obviously, an Umber Hulk is terrifying (obviously). So he randomly fires off a spell .... and it hits the Hulk. And the Hulk starts laughing, hideously. This giant, surprisingly intelligent beetle/ape cross just sits down and laughs, and laughs, and laughs. I attempted to make horrific-insectoid-monstrosity-laughing sound effects. I amused at least myself By the time it finally stopped laughing, they'd already taken off 3/5ths of its health. But anyways, it was fun to DM again after not playing for a while Edited July 3, 2017 by Erunion 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverblade5 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I ended up mowing a lawn for $30, and then spent $40 on fireworks. I am happy about this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Budgie Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 @Sunbird those are really cute! Also, we saw a little baby bird yesterday. We think it was an owlet. It was super cute, although unfortunately we had to put it in a box and take it away before its mother could come and collect it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume since you collected it in a box, you intend to take it to a wildlife rehabilitator so they can care for it, am I right? Do you think you could post a picture? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although we didn't actually take it anywhere. A bystander was willing to take it up, but we had to prepare for a concert. I don't have any photos, but I plan to get them off a friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seonid Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 So...I have a job interview for tomorrow! Background: I've been out of work for two months, since I graduated and moved out of the city we were living in. I quit my full-time, exceptional benefits job, and moved down to a new city to be closer to family. My wife found a part-time job, but it's very stressful on her, so we're both really hoping that this job works out. It was a good thing, ultimately, because I got out from under a bad boss - in fact, that's the only reason I considered moving to a new city when my wife suggested it. And this new job is actually related to my field of study, and pretty much is the textbook definition of a perfect job for me. So I'm excited about the interview and extremely nervous at the same time. On net, this is a good news type of post, though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hummingbirds I took these pictures on the 4th of July, and they're all of males because the males are the prettiest. XD Broad-tailed Hummingbirds (2 photos): Spoiler Black-chinned Hummingbirds (2 photos): Spoiler Rufous Hummingbird (1 photo): Spoiler Believe it or not, he was actually flying away from the feeder in this photo, and yes, that means he was flying backwards! Hummers are just awesome like that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Slowswift Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I don't think I can recommend Spiderman: Homecoming enough. Honestly. Got to go see it after work yesterday, and it was one of the most enjoyable theater things I'd seen in quite a while.

A Budgie Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 So, some of you might remember that I'm currently on a music tour. Well, for part of that tour, we went to a festival/competition in Europe. My guitar ensemble got a gold score and we were the best in our category. I am a happy budgie. ^-^ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I passed basically everything, which I'm super hyped about. US Gov: 5 Psychology: 4 Stats: 3 (I'm still super psyched that I managed to pass in the first place) Calc BC: 2 (and happy that it wasn't a 1) AB subscore 3 (YAY!!!!)

I can hardly handle the three I had this last year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrikerEZ Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Last year, I got a 5 on the AP Human Geo test. This year, I got a 4 on the AP Spanish test and a 5 on the WHAP test. I'm pretty proud of myself this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
