TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Just finished the first part of my black belt testing How'd it go?
Silverblade5 he/him Posted October 31, 2015 Author Posted October 31, 2015 How'd it go?I have no idea. It was only the first part. Testing ends on Sunday
Zathoth Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Bruce Lee is smiling in whatever nether the dead end up in, obviously. I started reading Discworld with a British accent in my head, it makes it almost even funnier. And we really need need that emote, I have to go on another forum and copy it every time I feel like using it... Edited October 31, 2015 by Morzathoth 1
Mistrunner Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Also, Mistrunner, the majority of the clarinet section at my school is male, and all the firsts section (of the clarinets) are malesI'm not saying that this is a rule, just that I've experienced it personally. Also My hair is curling Literally curling I thought it was just tangled or something but no, it's actually going curly Is this just the humidity or am I turning into my sisters? O.O
Kestrel she/her Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 And @Lark, I guess things are different around where you are versus where I've been. Clarinet has usually been stereotyped as a "girl" instrument around where I've lived, and I had a male friend who even switched to sax after he joined band and realized clarinet wasn't "manly" enough or something. It's annoying, really. Just pick an instrument you'd like to learn how to play. JUST DO IT! [/shia Labeouf] we have about a 100+ clarinets, so its a pretty big melting pot. It actually became the "throwaway" instrument honestly. All the people who don't fit into a stereotype just flocked to it.The only bigger section is the trumpets but they all act the same. On the other hand a trans who identifies as a guy, but is quite feminine just came into my year. He got teased at first but then the mean people just sort of gave up, and he is one of the nicest guys I've ever met that is so gross. I still don't understand people who bully based on identity, something you can't change. Those people sound like they need to grow up. 1
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 You said it perfectly Lark.
Claincy he/him Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 that is so gross. I still don't understand people who bully based on identity, something you can't change. Those people sound like they need to grow up. The most common other "reasons" for bullying I can think of are physical appearance, disabilities/similar issues or just being the shy one who looks like an easy target. Most of which are difficult to change, if it's possible at all. On a more positive note: Pax Aus is good Though I can only stand the crowds and noise for so long at one time before taking a break or leaving for the day. My social anxiety is a bit more manageable when surrounded by geeks/gamers than other people but it doesn't' prevent it entirely and with my fairly strong introversion it's just really exhausting and overwhelming after a while. *shrug*

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 it's 8 minutes to the beginning of NaNoWriMo where I am. Anyone else taking part in the madness here? (I'm tempted to just count the words I'm using for my papers and thesis and projects...) I'm one of those people whose writing is hurt, rather than helped, by NaNo. If I'm told I have to write a certain number of words each day, I get more focused on getting those words down than on advancing the story, and then I get nervous, and then my writing gets all purple when I describe cars driving down a highway at night. If I come up with an interesting story idea and I get excited about writing for it, I can write 2,000 words a day easy.
Kasimir he/him Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Anyone want to be writing buddies on the NaNo site? I'm RangerofAnor there, if anyone's interested. I'm one of those people whose writing is hurt, rather than helped, by NaNo. If I'm told I have to write a certain number of words each day, I get more focused on getting those words down than on advancing the story, and then I get nervous, and then my writing gets all purple when I describe cars driving down a highway at night. If I come up with an interesting story idea and I get excited about writing for it, I can write 2,000 words a day easy. I can definitely understand that. Every time I do NaNo, I have always had periods of regret, because I find that it doesn't encourage me to produce quality work. I know they say to just fill words and to edit later, but I honestly do not like it and find it suboptimal. I like my writing to be considered and careful, even on the first draft. But my biggest problem right now is:A. I tend to write more fanfiction than original work, andB. I don't have the discipline to sit down and produce something.In that sense, NaNo is great for me because it gives me a month I can set aside to focus on original work, and even better, to do so in the company of lots of people making the same journey For that reason, I'm participating.

I feel much the same way. I don't do the greatest work during NaNo, but I actually write something, which is better than most days.I'll be your writing buddy! Just like the NaNo camp cabin of July. I'm Mistrunner over there as well. 1

This is slightly embarrassing but I've run a search for 'Mistrunner' on NaNo but can't find you there. D'you have a profile link, by any chance? 1

Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 What is everyone being for Halloween? If you have a costume. I am being a WWII airman, flying a P-38 Lightning. 1
The Honor Spren she/her Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Oh yes, recaps. When you set the forum down for a day, then come back and have 165 notifications. Ooh, awkward situations. One time at homeschool group I was pulling over a foldup chair over to a corner to sit in. The chair collapses, falls to the ground and makes a really loud bang. Everyone applauds. I bow. Why play any other instrument when you could play a harp. (No I can't play harp, but I really want to.) Why can't people just learn to respect cultural/sexuality/racial differences???? Why??? I wish I had time for NaNo. I wish I had time to write anything. Schoolwork right now is crazy. Why do I have so many outside classes this year? I want a dog. I need a dog. Chickens will never love me, they just love my food I give them. I'm not sure if I want to trick or treat tonight. I want to dress up, and I want candy, but my neighborhood is so lame, it might be better to stay home and watch the creepiest episodes of Doctor Who instead. 3
