    Probably Eragon's. I remember that being really well described. What is your favorite day of the week?
  2. Spren of Kindness
    English, and some Spanish. Enough that I'm one of the ones in my class who could probably hold a minor conversation with a native speaker. I'm not fluent, by any stretch, but I am coherent, so long as we're in present tense. I'm still learning past tense. What language do you want to learn?
  3. Spren of Kindness
    Sometimes. Usually it's unintentional, but I like long sentences and big words, and sometimes the people around me don't. TPBM has taken dance lessons.

    This is really good! You really got that angular gauntness that I imagine Kaladin having when I read Way of Kings.
  5. Spren of Kindness
    You're right, pretty much, according to the stuff in the back of my Barnes and Noble special edition. I think he was nineteen when the professional house published it.

    I got a bunch of my dad's old CDs today.  I'm so happy!  Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, and assorted others, including Mussorgsky's Pictures At An Exhibition and Night On Bald Mountain!

    Plus, the soundtracks to The Phantom Menace, Apollo 13, and Gettysburg, and the original cast recordings of Phantom of The Opera and Les Miserables.  Today is a good day, indeed!

    Not tonight, anyway. TPBM is eagerly awaiting the next day they can actually clean their room.
  8. Spren of Kindness
    That is the absolute cutest! I just wanna hug him!
  9. Spren of Kindness
    No, but I've been on a square-rigged ship. What period of history is most interesting to you?
  10. Spren of Kindness
    That's beautiful! And I can tell that this guy has a story, I wonder what it is.

    Powered through the Fires of Heaven in three days and now I'm reading four books at once - I need to finish 'On Fairy-Stories' to finish Tales From The Perilous Realm, I'm up to December of 1916 in The Romanov Sisters, and I'm reading two different historical fashion books - Tudor Fashion by Eleri Lynn, and 18th-Century Fashion In Detail by Susan North. And I haven't started the Regency fashion book yet, but that's coming. And more Dresden and Russian stuff (More about the Romanov sisters and a fiction book called Laurus).
  12. Spren of Kindness
    I cannot. TPBM got way too many books from the library the last time they were there.
  13. Spren of Kindness
    No, I'm actually done with my homework for the weekend, mostly. TPBM has driven a tractor.
  14. Spren of Kindness
    I read A Man Called Ove, another Fredrick Backman book, a few months ago, and that one also made me cry. Turns out, I'm really sensitive to stories about grandparents.
  15. Spren of Kindness
    I'm really liking it so far - I think the script is pretty good, the music and costumes are great, and the characters so far have been pretty interesting. Also, I really like the fact that it's more grounded and gritty. I was actually worried about that, but it's turned out good so far. It's a new genre for Star Wars, and I'm here for it. Costuming particularly - every planet we've seen so far has a different color palette and base designs that really make it feel like there's a bunch of different cultures out here that still have some degree of separation despite galactic interconnectedness, which I think is great! Brasso, the other construction worker guy is just a friend of Cassian's, I think.

    So my family's watching Andor.

    I now have a deep desire for a show about a young woman who works in a laundromat who gets involved with the rebellion/revolution, but like.  In a tangential way.  Witnesses uprisings and protests and all that, sees the city get more dystopian and tense over time, but also, still works at the laundromat for basically the whole show, and the plot is more focused on the effects of the rebellion on the main cast than actually overthrowing anything.  

    Who's with me?

      I’m with you this sounds awesome- I love side stories like this where you get to really see the way the story’s events affect people outside of the main conflict. Honestly I think the lack of stuff like this is a big part of why the sequels weren’t great for me 

      i think the flip side to this would be a young woman working in mid level coruscant during end of the old republic and seeing how that corruption was already there and watching as the already incredibly dystopian planet became worse and worse, and just hoping there wouldn’t be any annoying customers at the laundromat

      Morningtide

      I would love that

    I do, it's digital. TPBM likes Tchaikovsky.
  18. Spren of Kindness
    Backyard, yes. Front yard, not usually. TPBM has an origami crane on their desk.
  19. Spren of Kindness
    I nod and hum where appropriate, usually. It's really endearing though, because I like seeing people happy and enthusiastic. Have you ever worn a red bandanna and felt supremely cowboy-like?
  20. Spren of Kindness
    Yes and no. There have been some I like, but I don't seek them out because I feel like a lot of them aren't done in a way that appeals to me. TPBM has an eraser shaped like a cute animal.
  21. Spren of Kindness
    Thanks! I usually just live with it too, honestly.
  22. Spren of Kindness
    Nail polish! I like wearing it, but recently stopped because I am apparently am incapable of not wrecking it before it's fully dry. Do you know how to deal with that, because advice would be welcome, or not, we can commiserate

    My English class is reading The Things They Carried. I read ahead and finished the whole thing, but since we're going slow through it, I have to go back and... this book is really depressing. I like the way O'Brien writes - the way he jumps back and forth between events and monologues and makes it weave together is really pretty, and I've been messing around with it to see if it can help with my never-finish-anything problem. But the story is really depressing and it is not fun. Which is entirely the point. Next up, The Fires of Heaven and The Romanov Sisters by Helen Rappaport, and probably more Dresden and some historical fashion books.
  24. Spren of Kindness
    Seventy percent of the time, yes. Once I cross the introspection horizon, I need to stop. TPBM has a portable AC unit in their room.

    The thing I do where after church, I stand around and talk with friends for upwards of thirty minutes. What's your favorite birthday memory?
