  1. Would you watch Miraculous Ladybug? I need someone with which to share my pain . . .
  2. Maybe they were still gathering information? I was listening to NPR last night and I never heard about it, even though they talked plenty about the other two. So I'm assuming this happened very recently. I'm sure they will do much more for All Things Considered tonight.
  3. And that, is how The Honor Spren died of laughter.
  4. Oh, good. I'm not alone. I just kind of assumed it was what people are saying these days, and I'm just behind the times. (As usual)
  5. Do you want to come up here? I've been getting weather forecasts like this (Celsius in parentheses): Temperature: 95° (35) Humidity: 90% Feels like: 108° (42)
  6. *hops on a bald eagle and rides around waving the star spangled banner whilst eating a hamburger* IT'S MURICA DAY! But I think we all know which American patriotic song is the best. Ever.
  7. When my Momspren was a kid she had that conversation with her babysitter: "Eat that apple! There are children in Africa who are starving and you're just going to throw rest of that thing away because your stomach is full?!" "If they need it so badly, send it to them!"
  8. Cannon to right of them, cannon to left of them, cannon in front of them volleyed and thundered. Stormed at with shot and shell. Boldly they rode, and well. Into the jaws of death. Into the mouth of hell. (I've memorized the whole thing, but I won't bother you with more.)
  9. You're going on your mission! Congrats! Even if we will miss you here . . . I'm glad you're going.
  10. Which one? . . . You were the attractive black hole, weren't you?
  11. I really like that Syl you have there. Do you have any sort of separate image with just her that I could possibly use as my profile pic . . . ?
  12. So. This was my street today. Yay for the rainy season. But I also was playing around with Siri today. When I asked her what I should be for Halloween (twice), her answers were, "I always thought a black hole would be attractive." And, "Papa Smurf."
  13. I had to start with that. I was so young and innocent . . . So, I figure I've been here long enough, right? It's been over a year. I think people generally like me, or at least if they dislike me, they haven't told me so. Anyway . . . Did I know the names of those surges off the top of my head, or did I have to check the coppermind? But I give myself extra points for Doctor Who references. Even though I was still on season 2 at this point. I cringe. I'm cringing so much right now. Not only does this one have no quotation whatsoever (I couldn't find that button at the time.) But this is also the second post of a double post. Why. I didn't know how to italicize. And why did I have that many exclamation points? WoR spoilers
  14. Wasn't he one of the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire? Edit: Nope! I was wrong.
  15. When you find out your dad is also your 12th cousin.
  16. I usually jump to assuming that, but then I remember my friends whose nephews are only 4 years younger they are.
  17. When words like "Hoid" and "Mistrunner" are on your autocorrect.
  18. *raises hand* I once read some free manga on paperwhite (I regret it so much. Watching paint dry would have been a better use of my time than reading that stuff.) Anyway, I wouldn't recommend it. It's in black and white, for starters. (Though that part's kinda obvious) You have to turn the page way more often than usual, because they tend to put a panel per page. (Though not all of them do) And it takes forever for them to download. (#FirstWorldProblems)
  19. I'm not denying them, if that's what you're saying . . .
  20. When I was about 12 or 13, I watched a documentary on both world wars. At first, I thought is was super interesting; I loved finally finding out how're First World War caused the second and how we can avoid those mistakes later. Super educational. But then . . . It got to the Holocaust. They included pictures, they didn't even have to say much to say very much to convey a sense of horror. They just showed picture after picture taken when US soldiers found the concentration camps. I couldn't watch, I felt sick, I wanted to find my little sister and hug her as tight as I could. But what really scared me was after it was over, when my extended family was talking about it. My grandpa said that it was a shame people weren't learning what they should from things like this, that history still repeats itself. I couldn't sleep well for a long time. I have an great imagination and all I could think was, What if there's another one? That is what terrifies me more than anything. My dad told me that he would take me to the Holocaust museum in DC when I was in high school, because things like this are important to know. Because we must prevent them from happening again. And now I'm in high school and going to Virginia soon. But I really don't want to know more. There aren't many things I'd rather be left in the dark about, but this is one of them. So, I don't know if there is a right age to learn about this, but I do acknowledge that it must be learned. I guess that's my two cents.
