I should probably be working on Storm's Reach (my NaNo Novel). Instead I'm on the Shard. Story of my liffeeee. Also did you know that plants grow faster when you play classical music to them? (I think this is true, but don't hold me to it. I could have made it up completely. It's been a long 8 days.)

Whoa. That is a really long move. Good luck settling in and unpacking!

I have no idea what you are talking about, but I still laughed when I read "Bodacious T". EDIT: Oh Look! 400 posts!

August is the only month of the year that has no Holidays.

Is anyone else sorely tempted to go ahead and start the Random Stuff V thread or is that just me?

The Lies of Locke Lamora! Do it! Just, DO IT! I saw something the other day on pinterest about how Harry should have been in Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. It was awesome and completely changed my mind about HP. But now I can't find it.

Ah, you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding! I loveddd the Night Angel series, I'm hoping I can get to Lightbringer soon. Warning there's some mature scenes in Brett's work, so if you're not into that kind of thing you might want to tear clear. But it's still really good. I'm almost done with The Daylight War and am excited to pick up the fourth book, The Skull Throne. (I think? It's something close to that. ) Ryan is really good too, and his stuff is more the standard hack and slash magical fantasy.

I'm back! I decided to take a leave of absence for a while to try and get a head start on NaNo this year. So... yeah. I'm reading East of Eden right now for my ENG 112 class. I'm only about 160 pages into it, but it's pretty good so far. I'd recommend it if you liked Steinbeck's other stuff. Heh, speak of the devil! I am indeed doing NaNo, and am very surprised at how well I'm doing this year! Although yesterday I was on the forums and saw a guy with 30,000 words already and I was just Sure! I'd love to be buddies! I'll see if I can find you on there! I haven't really found anything of Sanderson's too dark, but my favorite genre of fantasy is grimdark...... I too have TEotW just sitting on my shelf. But...it's so big and it's only the first book in the series. So many books to read, so little time. Ohhhh I love that series! The Republic of Thieves kind of has a bad reputation, a lot of people don't like it as much as the first two. But I'll tell you here and now I love it just as much! Also if you like the darker themes of Lynch you'll probably like Brent Weeks, Peter V. Brett, Anthony Ryan and Brian McClellan. And to a lesser extent Pat Rothfuss as well. I loved the Name of the Wind! It reminded me of a grown up Harry Potter. Even though the Kvothe is younger than Harry Well. At least in Deathly Hallows. Good luck! Here, have an upvote for confidence!

You guys want to hear an awkward story? Great! So I was on my lunch break at work today. I had my food set down on the table, my drink set down on the table, and was poised to sit myself down at the table when I heard a woman's voice say "Hey,". I looked up. There was a middle aged woman sitting at the table next to mine, staring at me. "Hello," she said again. "You can come sit with me if you want." I very, very, very much did not want to sit with this nice lady. Of course, I had no idea how to tell her this without being rude, and she had already seen that I had heard her so I could not pretend I hadn't. Honestly, I considered just leaving and not even eating lunch but I was too hungry for that. So, I walked over and sat down at her table. I introduced myself. She returned the favor, but I was cringing on the inside so much that I legitimately have no clue what her name was. We didn't speak another word to each other. The end.

I've been gone for one day. Not even a full one! I was on last night and since then you people have posted fifty times and added two pages to the thread! Goodness gracious. Now I understand how Kaymyth felt.

I'm just sitting around eating cheetos. Don't judge..... its just a little hard to get motivated sometimes.....

I'm here! I'm making cornbread! *Offers piping hot slice of cornbread* Want some??

I've actually never had a lucid dream before.

Seriously, sleep is the worst. I hate going to sleep, I hate waking up, I hate how useless it is. I'm sure that there is a good explanation for it otherwise we wouldn't do it, but curses! I have stuff to do! Whenever I tell people that I hate sleep, they are always astounded. I'm glad I've finally found someone who has a blazing fury against sleep to match my own! ........I actually really liked Michael Gambon as Dumbledore......

We need those coffee patch things from Meet The Robinsons!! You know, these things. https://youtu.be/D12uoKt7bco

The back story of The Lord Ruler. Harmony, that would be cool! An illustrated guide to the Martial Arts of Shard Plate. With a few sketches of various Shardblades thrown in. Also I'm hoping we get a flashback of when Dalinar first met the Parshendi in Oathbreaker. Well, we could make one of these, or we could save the Amazonian Rainforest. Can't have your cake and eat it too. Eh. It's totally worth it. Someone fire up the printing press!!!

I have no idea who Grandpa Smeary is? Soooooo. Wayne!

So I am horrible at watching shows. Think I'm joking? I haven't finished Merlin, The 100, Bleach, Sword Art Online, Arrow, Parasyte, and a whole lotta others. That being said, I got up to Season 4 Episode... 11? I think? Somewhere along there. And I really like the show! It's not the highest production value, and at many times it is ridiculously goofy. But it is still wonderful. Like a lot of other people have been saying, the relationship between Merlin and Arthur is awesome! The actors do a really good job of portraying them as best friends who won't admit that under pain of death. Honestly, I always shipped Arthur and Gwen together. Team Garthur for the win!!!

Popcorn is eh, I'll eat it but it's definitely not my favorite, and if I have another option I'll usually take that. Unless it's the really unhealthy kind from the movie theatre, but you know. Thats like 10 bucks soooooo. I love peanut butter!! Especially if it's some kind of dessert/candy such as peanut butter pie or peanut butter cookies! I used to despise meatloaf with a fiery passion, but now it's just kinda eh. See the section on popcorn above. Mmmm. Chilli is good. My mother makes one heck of a chilli. Mmm. Cheese is good too. The only cheeses I don't like are pepper jack and swiss. Cheeeesseecaakeeee. I'm so sorry you don't like it. Ah well, more for me I guess! Orange juice is okay. Once again see the section above for popcorn. I like to chew my orange juice. But pulp free isn't bad either! Also, hooray! Shopping! I got a really cool Zelda t-shirt the other day. It's nice still living at home, because I get almost every meal free. Mmmm. I feel that way about sleep. Honestly, do you know how much more productive I'd be if I didn't have to waste seven hours every day??? Ummm. Before! Elantris was definitely not bad, but I like Rithmatist more. Of course, Rithmatist is a little trope-y, so if you don't like that kind of thing then I would read Elantris first.

The other day I had a Jalapeño Popper pizza. Instead of tomato sauce it was cream cheese, then topped with mozzarella and Jalapeño slices. It was amaazzziinnnggggg.

I love it when we go down to the library for my writing class. Fifty extra minutes on the shard! Hooray!

Ohhhh! This is awesome! I'm so in! Keep in mind that I probably won't be able to attend every week, but I'm pretty certain I won't be the only person with that problem. Nightmare Before Christmas sounds good, I've never seen it before so this would be an interesting way to experience it for the first time. That's cool with me! I have a fake account on Google Hangouts anyway. It's a long story. I am also okay with chatzy. But if we do go down that route (and it's looking like we will) then I vote password protected. I'm not a huge fan of random trolls joining my chatrooms. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Then I went back, returned the t-shirt and asked for a refund.

Movie night?! What madness is this??
