He's literally so sweet and kind like who doesn't love Raoden. I love Raoden.

I had to stop reading Eye of the World again. I am sick of school work. I have to read Things Fall Apart. Do not like it.

Resool is my Connector, Alahya will be a Slider. Also Hale will be one of the background characters; he's a zinc ferring. If I can get one of my friends to be more active on here, his character will be Hale's brother. We have their whole little relationship planned out. If you want to post your synopsis, you can, but it isn't required. I'd actually like to get to know your characters through the rp, rather than just telling me about them beforehand!

I've never cried harder than I'm crying right now. These past few weeks have been hard for me. There's been so much work and I feel pressured all the time. And tonight I just finally snapped. My dad has always been a stickler for grades. Since elementary school, anything less than an A meant that I wasn't trying hard enough. Throughout middle school, that was easy. Ninth grade hit and it wasn't so bad, but this year has been my death. I'm making an A in one class, a B in most of the others, and failing algebra because of that quiz. He hasn't found out, but I fear for myself when he does. And now at dinner he starts talking about how we don't compete, and don't try for anything. That my brother and I aren't passionate and that we won't get anywhere. That the "Asians in our school are leaving us in the dust and that we won't get any spots in college." (His words, not mine. Have I mentioned that he's racist as well?) Apparently he's trying to "help us." To be honest, its just worsening my depression and anxiety and I hate being at my house now. I try to stay at school more because I like it there better. So basically that's why I can't stop crying up in my room. He's probably going to yell at me if he finds me up here and then apologize or something. I don't even know what to do. I can't even go to my own parents with my problems.

Yes, this is very much still a thing! Nobody has posted since my last post, so I've just been hanging loose until someone came along. In any case, I'm working on my characters, and still getting some plot sorted out. For the major plot, I was thinking along the lines of Quiver's ideas, us being in a remote town and being the only group of lawmen around. There will also be more than just lawmen; I'm working on a few minor characters. We could rp it in "episodes," where each one is a different plot, minor plot. So a group of minor plots in a major plot.

Made sweepstakes in band tonight! My band director's first contest, actually. Happy for all of us! What a great year!

First band concert today! Or rather, first and only real contest of the year. Really nervous, but also excited. My second time playing piccolo in front of a crowd, too.

Took a math quiz yesterday. Left knowing that only divine intervention could make me pass. That one quiz collectively brought down the entire sophomore class' algebra grades. My class' average was a 40. I made a 10. The teachers were bragging and I was like you ?? Your job is to pass us ?? You suck at your job ??

Taken some spanish, I might pop over and see what I can understand.

Is it awful that I really really want one.

Plus, it worked on squirrels. I don't see why horses wouldn't be a thing. Or any other animals for that matter. What about a lifeless chasmfiend can you imagine how awful and awesome that would be.

Glad to see the new rp up. Now its really time for me to get cracking on my character. Still at the same storming spot. :/ I need to sit down and focus for an hour, but that's so hard with school and homework and the general will to do absolutely nothing that's been creeping up on me lately.

My assistant band director makes me so happy. I heard him and my director talking and "oh man, she's a great piccolo player. Not a screaming piccolo. A good piccolo. She doesn't play over the band. Where do you find a piccolo like that?" I walked by and whispered "storm it, I'm not trying hard enough."

Ah, thank you! I do the same thing actually. I just find the whole process annoying, having to save each frame as a separate image. Takes up so much space on my computer. Haven't worked too much in AE but I should start, as I have it on my computer (I did use it and Premiere for a video editing project in English, but that's a totally different ball game because I had all the video already). Flash CS5 is incredibly annoying to me too compared to the later version I use at school. I see no real difference with Photoshop CC, but Flash.. they changed so much. I will have to check out EmoFuri later, because those are great.

I do, but only around friends who've read the books. Otherwise I just use normal curses because they're way more satisfying.

Oh man, I'm really sorry that happened.

I tried not to laugh.I really really did.

Well, it'd certainly be easier than the Knight's Radiant glyphs! I'd love to paint my nails something cool but I can't work with polish very well, and my left hand is like... no help. I want to have cool nails but I have no patience for anything.

Thank you! --- Commission for Easternwolfy on deviantart. Finally getting back into pixels. [edit] I crashed autodesk maya

You could do the Allomatic metal symbols. There's like 16 so there's enough. Not sure how hard it would be, as I'm not a nail artist.

The Abrams reboots, I felt, were decent movies, but not the general Star Trek vibe. To be honest, I felt that they were more about cool action fight scenes than actual exploration, which is what Trek is. The reboot never captured that in my eyes. They were fun to watch, but it felt more like a fast paced action movie rather than a movie about scientific discovery. I mean, sure, there were wars and action in all the Trek series, but that wasn't the whole story. [Edit] I tried to use html rather than forum bbcode to italicize. My bad.
