I had a good day today. Yesterday was a bad day but today was good. 

I went out to a friend for Shabbat lunch and spent all afternoon making new friends and playing board games. Then we just got the notice that oathbringer is at the post office. 

So yesterday I walked into a supermarket and got myself a job there. Tomorrow I'm starting both a scary new job AND Oathbringer (finally!!! To both). 

I am a little nervous and I am happy. 

Good luck! I hope it all goes well.

Well 17th sharders! Remember that traumatic break up a few months ago? 

Well, i finally worked up the courage a few minutes ago to talk to her again. I needed, personally, to talk to her in order to just let go. And I did it. We talked about OB and Arcanum. And I didn't die. So, yay. 

I'm so glad you were able to do this and make another step forward in the healing process. It'll be all right. *hugs*

I'm so happy for you, Del!!! I hope everything goes well with the new job, and enjoy Oathbringer!

Also @A Budgie random question: Is your signature a recipe for jammie dodgers?

Muahahaha! My patently ridiculous My Little Pony fic is now officially out to beta readers. I'm one step closer to unleashing it upon an unsuspecting world.

Making latkes. 

Happy Chanuka everyone!

My final grades came in, I am now officially a college graduate.

Just means I have more time to be on the Shard.

2 things!

1. One of my best friends comes home off of her mission in exactly one week!

2. I just applied for graduation in the spring. I'm getting my Bachelor's people! I'm so close to being out of here.

...yeah. Pretty much what he said.  

[Kaymyth she/her]

@Steeldancer you double-posted.

Bah! Bah, I say! And humbug!

(Seriously, I know it's exciting, but please remember to pay attention to forum rules.)

Whoops. In my defense, there was a 10 hour break between the two.

I am literally still freaking out a day later.

I understand, but that's still really too soon. The proper action would have been to edit your previous post to add the interjection.

Now, if the posts had been weeks apart, it would probably have been fine.

[AngelEy3 he/him]

@Steeldancer Star Wars in 1 hour! Don't worry, Flash... I just may break the rules myself later on. But I'm pulling for another post by the time I get back. 

[Orlion Blight he/him]

Star Wars is a hot mess! 

[AngelEy3 he/him]

The Last Jedi was really good. So good that I went again 6 hours later. 

Edit: I should note that the 2nd time was better like Lasagna. I knew the flavours to expect and really got to taste them. That being said, my face was dry the first time around. The 2nd time I was a blubbering mess.

So I entered a writing scholarship with some of my work.
I didn't get the scholarship, but I did get the bursary! I'm going to see about entering some workshops/competitions/festivals with the money.
