Welcome to all the new members! Today I got to help the little beginner flutes. The tone was questionable but they were so cute. So cute. A few were really getting upset about the music so I had to quote a Tumblr post to them- "if you're ever feeling down about your abilities,just remember there was a time when you couldn't even put the darn instrument together!" The stuff they were playing was hard, or at least, for a beginner band. They played it pretty well, too.

Having a Bad Day? Stop here for a Good Rant!
Kestrel replied to traceria's topic in General Discussion
I haven't taken APUSH yet so I wouldn't know. Not going to, though, I'm taking my history next year as high school and college credit, so I can get some hours. Even if I don't make that, there's no way you'll find me in that horror inducing class. I've heard bad stories from juniors. Thanks man! I have all three essays, DBQ, C/C, and CCOT. Everyone is cursing the DBQ but I really don't see how bad it is. Its just long. But they give you all the info! CCOT will probably kill me. -
Star Trek Beyond I'm cringing over here.

We should stop posting here. I bet Brandon is reading it now, chuckling under his breath as he finds out which characters we don't want dead.

How cool would an Elder scrolls style game set on Roshar be?
Kestrel replied to Arook's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I was thinking more of a Legend of Zelda style game for Roshar, where you can pick what surgebinder you want to be, each plot is different, and your spren is your "guide" throughout the game, similar to Navi/Midna/Fi's purpose in the Zelda series. -
I didn't see a thread like this on first look, so if there is I apologize. In any case, what are some of your interesting travel experiences? The good, the bad, I want to hear where you all have been! My family travels a lot, mostly to places we've already been. We actually own a cabin in the Smokey Mountains, and go there twice or three times a year to do maintenance (it is a rental property, so it also pays for itself!). I'm an avid whitewater rafter, so every time I go there I always look to hit the river at least three or four times. We hike and also go lake kayaking; its quite beautiful up there, especially in the summer. Other than that, we try to do one big trip a year, but it doesn't always work, but hey, we try. I've been to Disney World twice but its not on my wishlist to go back. When I was going into seventh grade, we went to Cozumel, Mexico, and that was pretty fun. It was an island off the mainland, but was really commercialized and catered to tourists, so a lot of the original culture was lost. Another fun trip we took was a trip to Colorado, and let me tell you about that. About two days before the trip, Dad announces that we're going to Colorado, with no plan, no rental car, no hotels, nothing. So we all pile in our little four seater plane and go. We had some fun times there, like the Royal Gorge and the zoo, but the best part was this little wolf center we stopped at. Now, seventh/eighth grade Lark was still in her wolf phase, so this was all I wanted to do. We decide to go find it. After driving for an hour off the grid into the middle of nowhere, we finally see a sign for the place, Mission:Wolf (its in Westcliffe for any interested party out there). We drive up, and the sight that greats us was disturbing, to say the least. Right in the front enterence is a hanging horse carcass, with several volunteers cutting it up to feed the wolves. After giving us the tour and telling us about the wolves, they hand all of us a knife and say "get to work!" So we spent the afternoon cutting up horse. Interesting thing about the horses they use, though. People will call them when they think their animal needs to be put down, and they will come and get the horse. Because euthanizing an animal that large will pollute the environment, the owners opt to let the center handle it and feed it to their animals. However, the center decides if the horse really needs to be put down. In fact, they had three horses on property, all happy and healthy despite the fact the owner deamed them "on death's doorstep." In any case, after we did that, the center head comes out and asks if we want to come meet the wolves. And that is how I, a wolf obsessed middle schooler, got to enter a wolf enclosure and interact with them. Now that, that was so amazing. Probably not something I'd do now, seeing as I'm more educated on the safety hazards it poses, but it was still very awesome. That remains to be one of my best memories. And then there was.. the freshman band trip. Oh, lord, where do I start. Long story short, we flooded the dishwasher, burned rice, and did some things that we probably should not have done. But that wasn't the worst group, one of the boys condos bought four crawfish, kept them in the sink, then cooked them and ate them. That was a weird trip. Our family tends to enjoy taking trips to the Caribbean, and last summer I found myself in San Pedro, Belize. It was so cool, so much better than Cozumel. The culture was still alive there, and it was an honor to be able to visit. The food was fantastic everywhere we went, and the sealife was incredible to watch. Did you guys know that nurse sharks are like cats? They come up to you and roll over, wanting a bellyrub! The stingrays come so close, its kinda scary but you know that if you leave them be, they won't hurt you. We also went to the Belize Zoo, on the mainland. That was awesome, not at all like an American zoo. The only thing between you and a jaguar was a chainlink fence. They were more of a sanctuary, only having animals that were native to the country and only taking ones that couldn't be released any longer. Really cool place. So, what are your stories?

Ah yes, the sound of my ap world history grade going down as I continue to rack up the Cs on quizzes. -
You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
Kestrel replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
When your friend mentions a death of your favorite character and you stare at him, then yell "You come to my house-!!" And straight up scare him out of the animation lab. -
Well, you aren't wrong. There is a new meme on tumblr. I'm done.

What are you playing right now?
Kestrel replied to Link Von Kelsier Harvey's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I like the reflectors, actually, and usually use the glaives as my sub. -
Elantris stuff.

My part in this. I'm probably going to fail an AP world history quiz because of this, but that's okay. At least I did the thing.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
Kestrel replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
The first topic got locked for too many replies and I was like "oh my god. I killed it." In any case. Also, when you and your friends' humor consists of Cosmere pun-based humor. And when you're gonna get your band director to read Mistborn. Will keep you updated on that feat. -

So I've been trying to draw something all afternoon for it and finally consulted my friend for help. Apparently, he thinks this is some sort of game.

Alloy of Law era Mistborn rp [Planning+Characters]
Kestrel replied to Kestrel's topic in Inactive RPs
Is Souter a misting/ferring? Or just normal, which is perfectly fine. I'm still really on the fence about compounders. What do the rest of you think? I didn't want to just say these are allowed but these aren't, I wanted it to be all or nothing. -

Alloy of Law era Mistborn rp [Planning+Characters]
Kestrel replied to Kestrel's topic in Inactive RPs
Yep, nice, welcome aboard! In any case, our town is going to need some sort of trading station/railroad running through it to have Hale and Lenz occasionally come in. Not sure if the one you've suggested has that, Eowyn. I'll have to go look at a map. -
Pfftt, he won't kill Kaladin so quickly. He'll kill the people Kaladin cares about, then leave Kaladin to grieve once more, then he might kill Kaladin.

Woah that's a lot of writing. I would read but my eyes are dead today.
