  1. "And why are we pressed for time?" Talnic asked.
  2. Talnic stopped dead. The young boy stood before him, looking a little damp, but seeming very much alive. "Are we sure he's actually alive, and that this isn't... necromancy or some other sort of magic? Or that this isn't an impostor of some sort? It'd be difficult to spot a replacement considering how silent he is and that bag," His eyes didn't leave Ni as he asked his questions. It felt a little pointless to address them directly to Ni due to his infrequent speech, but he didn't feel he would have been able to trust the boy's words even if he had felt like he might answer.
  3. Talnic's eyes shot open, and he stood abruptly and began sprinting towards the voice, which was coming from the general direction of the library. He rounded a corner and slid through an open door into the library. "What is it?" he asked, eyes wide, ready to face whatever had prompted the shouting.
  4. WAIT WHY DID I WIN THE DAY ON THE FOURTH? I ONLY POSTED ONE THING?

    I'm confused.

    And now my beautiful 16 days is gone.

    *sigh*

    Well, thanks anyways! :P You guys are seriously awesome.

    Oh and look! I'm on the Shard! It's been a busy few weeks, which is why I haven't been on at all for a while. Hopefully I don't just disappear again in the future... I'll do my best.

      Welcome, welcome!

      probably you won the day because it was a dead day on the Shard or something. 17 Ian better anyways.

      Yeah, I'd say 17 days on the 17th Shard is pretty good anyway :P 

  5. I propose that we make this the new Rick Roll.

    Thoughts?

    Feelings?

  6. Gahhhh. Haven't posted here in a while... So I just got back from a fairly short backpacking trip this afternoon. It was just an overnight thing, we only went about nine miles, nothing very special. Finally I got home, and it was great. I caught up on a couple texts I'd missed, and stuff like that. I was about to head into the shower when a friend of mine texted me and said that the AP scores were out. So in an instant, I went from pretty dang exhausted but also pretty content to really on edge and kind of excited. I'd known that I had passed the test. I didn't doubt it. I just knew that sometimes when I take tests and feel like I did well I end up... not doing well. Or I could have done really well, which I felt like I had. I looked it up, and I had gotten a five. It took me about five minutes to stop shaking. So then I called my mom to tell her my score. She's a teacher and so was at my school and told my math teacher from last year, and both were super happy and enthusiastic about it. And then right after that my mom told me that I wouldn't be able to take this class that I wanted to next year. I had taken this class last year, but it was AWESOME. And it changes every year, and I would love to redo a lot of those activities, plus I have two really good friends who are also taking it this year, where last year I literally knew no one in there. But I wouldn't be able to get credit for it, because I'd already taken it. That wasn't a concern, though, because I do well in school and almost have enough credits to graduate as it is. So my councilor said she could make it work, most likely. So I was worried about that all summer, but I thought that it would happen in the end. But then a few days ago she emailed me and said that I had to pick a different elective because I couldn't get credit if I retook this class. But then I told her that a couple months ago she had said that she could make it work. So she said that she would see what she could do. And guess what. I can't take it because 34 other people are already in the class. I can't take it even though it was my first choice of elective. And so I went from exhaustion to elation to being thoroughly depressed, all in about ten minutes. (There are other reasons I'm really upset about not being able to take that class, but the fact that I should be taking it is the biggest one at the moment.) So I took a nap. On my floor. And when I woke up I realized my sister hadn't fed my bird while I was gone and that he was starving. And then I also realized that I hadn't been paid yet, even though my payday was yesterday. So at this point, I don't even care at all that I got a five on the AP test. I'm too tired, too sad, too overwhelmed, too anxious, and too mad to even consider trying to be happy about it. And it's also about 80 degrees outside and I have a very low tolerance for heat so I just feel all-around miserable. So there's that. *sigh*
  7. I'm almost done with my, uh, *cough* seventh *cough* reread of Oathbringer, and I really don't know why Brandon says his prose isn't very good.

    It's wonderful. 

    I storming love it.

    It's gorgeous, especially in scenes with heightened emotions of any kind.

    Even in Mistborn and stuff, it's great prose.

    Maybe it's not super intricate or anything, but that lets the focus be on the characters and the story and stuff instead of on the writing itself.

    Anyways, that's my random thought for tonight.

    Also. I want more of Jasnah and Renarin's relationship please that'd be awesome, thanks.

    Hopefully, if we don't get that in the next book, we'll get it in the second arc.

    Ahhhh only six more Stormlight books! Only one left of the first arc! 

    Mmmm I love the Cosmere.

    :)

      Well, Jasnah and Renarin are two of the main characters in the back half so they storming better get some scenes together. :P 

  8. Sometimes I forget KotC was a thing. It is a little painful to remember sometimes... *shudder* HAPPY STORMING SHARDIVERSARY!!!
  9. I am good with whatever. It would be best if I didn't start it, but I can if needed.

  11. Okay so I'm gonna do this too.

    Ages ago (I'm not exactly sure when) Fadran messaged me and told me about this writing camp his mom had told him about, and said it'd be awesome if we both could go. And I ended up actually being able to go, which was really surprising, actually. So Fadran and I were going to meet up. We were also planning on meeting up with the Water Clan due to their proximity to the location of the camp.

    We waited for about three months (I think) and after a lot of stuff happened in my life (including an AP test and two family reunions) I headed to Utah.

    And I met Fadran on the twelfth.

    Everything from here has pretty much been explained. We met Tani the next day, and then the day after that we met up with Queen, Star, Stick, Fritz, and Ene. The day after that we saw Star, Stick, Fritz, Ene, Vapor, Mist, and Connie. People gave me rocks. (I love the rocks). We hung out. And then I really needed to run away. I didn't really get to say goodbye.

    On Saturday morning, while my ride home was struggling to find where I was, I got to say goodbye to Fadran, Tani, Stick, and the entire Water Clan. 

    And that's about it.

    It easily was one of the best weeks of my life. I especially miss Fadran, as I had gotten used to seeing him every day and hanging out with him all day.

    On the drive home, Queen suggested that I listen to Jekyll and Hyde, and in true Tesh fashion, I've listened to it about six times in the last three days and it's really cool and y'all should check it out if you're into gothic horror musicals. (Murder, Murder is my current favorite song in it, followed by Confrontation. And i highly recommend watching Confrontation on YouTube because the acting is so cool.)

    I love each and every one of you that I saw more than I can even say, and I can't wait until we can meet again. Hopefully we can hang out for longer than an hour and a half next time. 

    *hugs*

      Woah it's been a year.

      Hello.

  15. *pokes back* I'd love to join, this sounds really neat!
  16. I WAS SUMMONED. When you go to a writing camp full of Sanderfans, meet some Sharders, write a Sanderson fanfic, and this results in you obsession with the Cosmere getting rekindled. And then you climb on the roof while wearing your mistcloak because it's smoky outside and there's literally ash falling from the sky. I also jumped on the trampoline while wearing it, which I highly recommend. When you get your stuff from the Kickstarter and then put all of the stuff you can up on your corkboard.

    Hi just a bit of really random info. Don't use the puzzle piece symbol (or blue) for autism awareness. Instead use the rainbow infinity sign for neurodivergence acceptance.

    This is why.

    Also, if you ever get the chance, I'd highly recommend the book Asperger's Children. It gives some very interesting information on the development of the diagnosis of autism.

      In case anyone was wondering, that link is not a Rick Roll, I tested it

      Interesting but okay.

      In case anyone was wondering, this link links to a very good song.

      Oh, thanks Chink! I forgot that's what people automatically think when they see an embedded link...

  18. *slowly opens 20 page document full of quotes* *realizes I should probably spoiler this whole reply because it got so long* If you can't tell, I am kind of obsessed with both quotes and The Anthropocene Reviewed. I shall leave you with one last quote, which is one of my all-time favorites. "Sometimes, I wonder how I can survive in this world where, as Mary Oliver put it, 'everything / Sooner or later / Is part of everything else.' Other times, I remember that I won't survive, of course. I will, sooner or later, be the everything that is part of everything else. But until then: What an astonishment to breathe on this breathing planet. What a blessing to be Earth loving Earth." -John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed If you actually read all of those I am very impressed and you have my respect.

    Wallpapers

    I made these using Photopea. The larger ones should work with any laptop, and the smaller ones with any phone, although you might have to adjust them a bit. (Let me know if they don't work, and I can send you a different size). If you want me to make you one, just send me a PM with what you'd like! I'd be more than willing to pull one together for you.
  20. Ah, but think back to before 751, when the Chinese were the only ones who had paper.
  21. This makes it wound like you didn't enjoy it!
