Do you call them lima beans or butter beans?

You know you've got a 'look' to your style when:

Your dad sees your outfit and says that it suits you

When classmates remark that it's strange to see you in bright colors

I'm inordinately pleased with this, for no reason except knowing that I've got a style that suits me that people can recognize as something I like wearing.

I missed my Shardiversary.

By how much? I hear you ask. Well, as of yesterday, I will have missed it by a month.

Thanks to @Knight of Iron for remembering his, though. He said "two years!" and I was like "wait."

Anyways... two years! Yeah! Woo! Didn't even die a little bit.

So... time to do some summons. Spoiler box mode: activate!

It’s raining incredibly hard and has been for multiple days. The river is overflowing, roads are closed, school was cancelled, neighborhoods are flooding- my friend was evacuated from his house on a boat- and the church building is flooding. I tried to get there to help the people who could get there in sandbagging/doing other things to help, but couldn’t make it and turned around.

I’m glad I live on a hill :P. Forecasts show rain for the next 24 hours, followed by a day of clouds and more rain.

farewell old logo

you will be missed

Everyone drop what you're doing in answer this question.

And now even more hehe

I just realized that there were a bunch of things that happened during my 2 month hiatus that I wanted to make SUs about and then never did. So ima do that now. 
More details available about any of these upon request =P

1. School started, ima senior, feels good to be on top

2. I joined choir cuz peer pressure. never done it before, my only regret is not doing it sooner. We literally went camping. Almost died. So fun. Join your school's choir y'all. 

3. There was a bomb threat at my school. We all evacuated the school completely and were sent to another high school. The evacuation started at the beginning of  1st hour, so about 8:40 AM. We didn't get back home until like 5:30. And we were lucky, we managed to get a police escort to get us out (we know someone in our ward). some kids were stuck there til 7-8.

4. I was sick with the rona for nearly half of first quarter. not fun. almost went to the hospital. 2/10 do not recommend. 

5. Homecoming happened. Didn't go. #sadnlonely #thirdwheel #someonedatemeplz #jkjk #unless #jk #

6. This isn't from when i was gone but I lost my wallet last week and it sucks. Imagine ripping up like 60-70 dollars. Thats about the total value. (No i dont keep that much cash in my wallet, thats just an estimation of everything lost (cash+gift cards+ids+the wallet itself) and the cost to replace it all.) Not fun. Buy a wallet tracker or smthn yall. good investment. 

7. Also not from when I was gone, but I brought a full-sized grill to school last week and rolled it around all day. I heard it went semi-viral on snapchat. At least locally. (don't have snap myself so I have no clue)

Dune: good!

I just took the Meyers-Briggs (or a free internet equivalent, anyways) and found that I am an INFP-T, or a "Mediator."

I'm also reading through the description and boy is this thing accurate. Just the first two paragraphs summarizes me up near perfectly:

And then this:

And then this:

Heck, they even had a quote; and it was Tolkien!

This is the pinnacle of human achievement

I need a volunteer or two for my Social Anthropology project! I just need to ask you a few questions and record your replies. I'd ask that you don't look up anything to supplement your responses or think through them too much (technically this assignment should be with irl people, but because I'm an antisocial git I will instead take my Sharders).

Happy Spooky Month! It's time to get Spooky Scary Skeletons stuck in your head and start planning your costume - I'm sure you're all going as Sanderson characters. Right? Right?

I'm hoping to do Inktober, but a) none will be impressive, and b ) I will get behind, especially on posting. So you may get an occasional update? If I make one that I feel is impressive.

And yeah, I feel suicidal occasionally, especially with divorce things. If I need help, can I come to you guys?

Love y'all,

Connie

I finished.

I finished the Wheel of Time.

What now?

I finished.

I finished the Wheel of Time.

What now?

Today I wrote two very important words on the Iconar Collective doc:

Yayyyyy doing everything again! Well, not everything - sorry, non-role-playing categories - but like almost everything.

But also so much stuff. I feel so bad, I keep missing bits of things because I'm in the middle of other things.

It's the way of life. And I'm prioritizing well - all of my homework is done~~!

How about you guys, are your lives busy and organized?

I took my written test for Driver’s Ed today. It was… interesting.

The first thing that I had to do was take a practice test, which was fifty questions that were all multiple choice. They gave me a blank test, as well as one with the answers circled by hand so I could compare when I was done. The idea here is that if I did bad on the practice test, I wouldn’t have to waste my one free attempt on the test, cause if I fail the retake costs money.

I thought it was pretty easy, but when I compared with their answer sheet I ran across five or six questions where I flat-out disagreed with the answer sheet. Things that I knew were right but the answer sheet said otherwise. Some I wasn’t sure, like I thought I was right but it was realistic that maybe I misremembered, but some I knew without a doubt that the answer sheet was wrong and that made me pretty nervous. Technically I don’t think the score I got on the practice test was good enough to qualify for the real one but because I was unsure about the answer sheet as a whole I just went along and took the real one anyway.

The real test was forty multiple choice questions, taken from the same bank as the practice test. I could miss a maximum of eight and still pass. As I took it I found that the same five or six questions that I was unsure about because of the practice test were on the real one as well. Which was not really fun for me to decide what to do

I opted to lean towards trusting the practice test answer sheet on the ones I thought maybe it was right, while sticking to what I knew was right for the others. I felt alright about it when I turned it in. The instructor grades it right then and there, so I watched her tick off the incorrect answers, and as she checked closer to forty the incorrect answers grew closer to eight.

I, officially, got eight wrong. Which is a pass. Barely.

But then I mentioned that I thought some of the questions on the practice test were wrong, so the instructor looked it over. And yep, most of the ones I was unsure about were in fact marked incorrectly on the practice test answer sheet, making my score closer to 36/40. Which, since I passed anyway, doesn’t really matter but it made me wonder how many other people ‘failed’ the test because they trusted the sheet over their own judgement and memory. The instructor ripped the answer sheet in front of me and promised to look over the other ones, but it was clear that the answer sheet had been in use for awhile. So yeah, I’m fairly annoyed at the system  Like, you had one job.

But I passed. Now just the driving drive test…

(Sorry for the long and dramatic SU, but I thought this was worth a share )

Hello, there's a Wheel of Time trailer, and I am Enthused.

No critiquing on this SU please, I'm just happy and easily entertained by things I'm enthusiastic about.  

Have you ever walked right into a trap because you trust someone too much?

I'm so freaking gullible.

Gosh darn it.
