Spren of Kindness

Hi, guys!  I'm back!  Tanned, tired, and not really ready for heat, but here we go, whoo boy.

Things I have learned from working at Papa Murphy’s:

1. It would he insanely easy to steal one of our online orders
2. People are Weird
   2a. One of our most popular pizzas is the Chicken Bacon Artichoke, which is 90% spinach and artichoke. Gross.
   2b. I barely ever make normal pizzas like pepperoni or hawaiian.
   2c. Mushrooms.
3. Employers are hypocrites when it comes to clocking in/out.
   3a. “Oh, you’re 2 minutes late? Bad. Don’t to it again or you’ll get written up. This is a big deal”
   3b. “Oopsie, did I accidentally make you stay 30 minutes extra? Welp, too bad for you I guess”

Well, here we are.

One year ago, when I put a shoe on my head and yodeled poorly, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Now, I'm so glad I signed up.

I came for the book discussion, I stayed for the amazing people.

Okay, let's get into the shoutouts!

@Channelknight Fadran, you're amazing. RPing with you has been awesome. I've smiled, I've cried, I've laughed myself silly. You're incredible.

@Condensation, you're the best. I love the conversations we have.

@DramaQueen, I know we don't talk a lot, and you aren't on that much, but you're awesome!

@Matrim's Dice, you're super cool! I love RPing with you! (Craven and Martin climbing trees needs to come back. *ninja emoji*)

@Truthwatcher at the Rim, if you see this, that means you logged in. Excellent!

@Chinkoln, @Aspiring Writer, @Dannex, @Nathrangking, @Emi, @xinoehp512, you are all super duper incredible!

I know that's not even close to everyone, and I wish my brain had enough space and all the words needed to give everyone a shoutout. It's honestly crazy that I don't, I never expected that so many people would see the nonsense I post and decide that they want to see more of it. That's just... wild.

Yeah, I don't really know what else to say. Just that all of you are amazing, and I can't wait to see what the next year brings.

Ahem.

I went to the library today!!!

43 books.

42 turned in...

I definitely don't have a problem!

Ohmahgosh.

Rogue One.

Just.

I can’t.

It’s just.

AAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH

I am not a telanted enough writer to even begin to express how good of a movie this is. I have not the prose.

It’s literally a cinematic masterpiece.

It’s so human.

Not just the best Star Wars movie, one of the best movies, full stop.

What is this? A third status update in a row from Chinkoln? Yes, but unless something dramatic happens, it should be the last for a while.

My ankle is a little complicated. There was massive swelling, and though it subsided over night, it was still very swollen in the morning. I went and got my 2nd vaccine, then went to the doctor. 
95% of the reason it hurts and is swollen is because I sprained/twisted (same thing) it REALLY bad. My ligaments are in TERRIBLE condition. That leads into the other 5%. The ligaments are so stretched, that one of them actually pulled a chip of bone off of my ankle. That is called an avulsion fracture.

95% of my ankle pain is sprained, and 5% is from a fracture.

I’m going back next week for someone from ortho to take a look at it. Until then, I have to wear a huge leg brace, everyday. I can’t do gymnastics for at least a month, probably more. 
I should write a biography one day, I could probably make it pretty interesting.

Okay, I've been sitting on this for almost a week, and I need to get it out.

Last week, I woke up in a cold sweat after a nightmare.  This itself is rare because I rarely dream, and it's even more rare that I have nightmares.  

What was my nightmare, you ask?  Take those creatures from A Quiet Place.  I haven't seen the movie, but I've heard a lot about it and seen a few clips.  Now, combine those with the character design of Venom, the symbiote.  Again, haven't seen it, I just saw some promos.  Finally, make the whole thing look like a six-foot-tall Gollum from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings.  Got that nice and meshed into your brain matter?  Let's keep going.

This creature that my subconscious came up with can sense motion, and has super speed.  The only way to avoid it is to be dead silent and not move a muscle.  It can't see you unless you move and make noise.

My dream started out with me roaming through a sunny, mountain forest.  And it ended with me frozen in place, dead silent, as a motion-sensing Vollum creature slunk around me, waiting for me to move so it could kill me.

And then I woke up.

Someone comfort me?

ha ha ha ha ha...

Status: So very dead tired.

It's been an exhausting day, you know? Just on and on and on and on... and it was so rusting hot, I just about died spending the whole day outside. And it's more of the same but worse tomorrow... and probably the next day... and the next, and the next. 

I'd really like to go to sleep. I'm very tired - woke up crazy early this morning - and super exhausted. I can't, though. Why? Because Fog is awake 2 hours past his bedtime!!! And he "can't get to sleep unless [he} listens to audiobooks"! So now I'm doing this because why not and there's just about nothing else I want to do I can do.

So I've written 2/3rds of the Iconar Collective.

How do I ask my boss for more hours?

She scheduled me for 12 hours this week. 12. 

The brand new girl got 19. 

The guy who started working the same day as me got 25.

I need ideas for what to name my Seamoth in Submautica. For those that haven’t played the game, a Seamoth is a one person mini submarine used for deep sea exploration. Puns are preferred. I have a 14 character limit. 

@Brandon Sanderson if you follow through with this I will TAKE ALL YOUR BOOKS AND BURN THEM AT THE STAKE.

Sooooooooo *walks in with a pizza to a room on fire, people screaming*

I'm not a negative person.  I like to think I'm pretty chill.  

I genuinely don't have any idea what is going on, and I'm not sure I like it.

Oh, I'll come around to it.  But hole-ee woe, that came out of left field.
