Proposal:

Remove the grammar-checking feature in google docs when the words are inside quotation marks. I don't care that "neither've" isn't a word; it's something that Lacy says, and therefore it counts!

Priory of the Orange Tree is really good. I'm not even halfway done yet but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Also I hung out with @DoomStick yesterday, which was a lot of fun. He met Kaladin.

Okay now I want to go to sleep. I am very tired. Byeeeeee.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thank you for coming to my ted talk. 

Have a picture of Kaladin. 

 

HAPPY. NEW. YEAR.

That is all.

It is INTERNATIONAL NINJA DAY

 

It's December 1st!!!

So I had an idea...I am going to do something called #stormlighttheworld. Basically it is the same thing as #lighttheworld (an event calendar counting down to Christmas with a task to do for each day), but Brandon Sanderson. The inspiration came from one of my friends finishing the Way of Kings. I have referred the book to several of my friends and they are "reading" it very very slowly, so I am ecstatic that my friend finished it in only two weeks. 

I know it is kind of late today, but whatever. Today your task is to start/continue a reread/first time read of a book written by Brandon Sanderson.

Thank you and goodnight!

This is a fantastic article.

Very informative.

And not a Rickroll I promise. 

If it is you can burn down my house.

Today, a bird got trapped in our chimney. It was flapping around in the fireplace, and so obviously Mom opened the fireplace doors. The bird got out, flew around the house for quite a while(even though we had all the doors and window screens open, it kept banging into the other side of the windows), and guess who got it out? I grabbed a pair of gloves, gently picked up the bird, and carried it out of the house, where it flew away.

I also bought a wooden replica of Sting.

What do you guys do when you're, like completely and utterly bored in school but you have to listen slightly so you can't read because the teacher will get annoyed? Because a lot of my classes move super slowly and I just want something to do.

And I can't draw all the time. I don't have enough to draw.

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

BYU WON!!!!

FINALLY

AFTER 10 LONG YEARS

WE'VE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to my current reputation title (“Truthless”), it seems as if my recent visit to Shinovar did not go as well as I thought it did. They just have exiled me for a ship of mine or something. Thing is, I seem to have misplaced my Oathstone. Anyone seen it?

Also, @Truthless of Shinovar, I am the true Truthless now.

The Lego Batman Movie is unironically really good.

That is all.

Hi there.

I have a trashy cold

that won't leave me alone even when I take cold relief or anti-congestant medicine.

And I hate it. I feel like trash and I would like to die. My nose is running like crazy (I know, I'd better go catch it) and I've got a fever. Switching between feeling super hot and super cold.

In other news, I worked last night! It was super awesome, but I ended up awake until 2 and then I had 9 AM church. So ha ha ha I wish I could sleep but cold.

 

I can now say I have met two sharders in my life, because I finally got a friend of mine, @Cyclonical, to join!! He's super cool and is a really good rp-er, so I will probably be directing him to FotT and Siren's Call and stuff, but I haven't kept up with the popular rps... what are the new up and coming rps right now? Also I have a feeling that Cyclonical will get me back into rp-ing to some extent if I'm not careful

But yeah, what rps have been active? And are there any other cool active threads going on we should check out too?

 

Here's a status update: I have no clue how active I'll be over the next few days. Why? Because I'm getting my second dose vax and from what I heard that bugger SLAPS.

So if you never hear from me again, it's because the darned thing killed me. Fingers crossed! (Not to die).

So, my Shardiversery is tomorrow, but tomorrow I'm probably going to be too busy freaking out about my AP world history test that's on Monday to write this, so I'm doing it now.

Over the last year, a lot has happened. I have made some really good friends on here through Discord, and a few other things. I discovered there was a really good chance I was on the autism spectrum (I still don't have a diagnosis, but we'll see what the future holds), and I realized the stress of life goes down tenfold if you don't have to worry about friendships you were single-handedly holding up. I started taking AP world history, as well as two other history classes, with the best teacher ever, and my view of the world has completely shifted. It's awesome, and I'd happily discuss anything from the Abbasid Caliphate to tsarist Russia to human rights with anyone who wants to join in that conversation. I also am now a proud Nerdfighter!

As I mentioned earlier, I got on Discord a while back, and through that, I got to know a lot of people. To all of you Discord people, you're all incredible. You're some of the most amazing human beings I know. Thank you all for putting up with all my weirdness.

And here are some notes to individual people. I apologize to everyone I forgot. There are too many awesome people on here to remember everyone off the top of my head. 

@The Awakened Salad You are such an awesome person, and such a good friend. I am so grateful for your willingness to talk about anything, and for being there for me. Long live The Awakened Salad Co! Also STAELSAHD! (We need to figure out the overlap between those two things...) 

@Channelknight Fadran It's been so great getting to know you over the last few months. In all honesty, when I first started seeing you around on Discord and stuff, you really didn't seem like the type of person I would really get along with, but now you get frequent Kaladin pictures and we're writing buddies, and I am so glad that I can call you a friend. 

@Hentient Hennnnnnnn! Thank you for sending me bird pictures! Toto is such a pretty little bird and she brightens my day like almost nothing else.

@FriarFritz Fritz, you are one of the kindest people I know. The world is so much the better for having you in it.

@Shard of Thought You are a fantastic human with incredible talent, and your drawing of Kaladin is still one of my favorite things ever.

@Knight of Iron Koi, keep on pulling teeth and being awesome. You're fantastic.  

@Chasmgoat I thoroughly appreciate your weirdness and just... You. Every conversation with you is fun.

@Flying Flying, you're also amazing. I'm so glad I've been able to get to know you better over the last few months.

@AonEne I remember back when you were a young child just getting involved in TUBA... Hehe. Ene, you're awesome. I don't know how you do it all. I mean... Being a mod and maintaining your sheer levels of awesomeness alone... 

@Emi Emi, you are such a talented artist, and everything you draw is amazing. Keep being awesome.

@Vapor You are an amazing person, and I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to get to know you. 

@Mist Mist, you are so kind, and it's always a pleasure to talk with you.

@Doomstick Thanks for talking about books and Nerdfighter stuff! I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to get to know you. DFTBA!

@DramaQueen Thank you for screaming Hunchback lyrics with me! It's always a ton of fun.

@Onimur It's so great that you joined the Shard! Thanks for joining this cult of weirdness.  

@S4S You are such a talented writer, and it's been such a joy to have the opportunity to rp with you for so long.

@theTruthshaper Truth, you're awesome. Thank you for always being willing to talk and just be awesome.

@JesterLavorre You are such a kind human, and I've thurougly enjoyed every conversation I've been able to have with you. Thanks you. 

Everyone in Knights of the Cosmere- You guys were my first friends on here, and, for the three-ish years that was going, it was a blast to rp with you all. Thanks for making the Shard awesome.

Everyone in Let's Go Find a Dragon- Thanks for making my really random rp a huge complex thingy with stuff I still can't remember! Thanks for keeping it going and keeping it fun. (If anyone wants to join, there's a link in my sig.)

And also I want to give a huge thank you to everyone I forgot, as well as everyone else. There are too many people to name, but you all are what makes the Shard the place that it is and I will forever be grateful to all of you for that. Thanks for being so willing to put up with me and my weirdness.

Also thanks to the mods for keeping this place going and keeping it great. None of this would have been possible without you guys.

Thanks again to everyone for being awesome!

 

That was an awesome first session of General Conference! Anyone else watching/just finished watching it? Planning on watching it later?

Hey guys...

I'm so sorry.

Today my mom caught me on the Shard when I had finished my homework, but she thought I had been skipping the homework. So I... might have to leave. Like, leave leave. It all depends on what she says tonight when I ask her. If she's too mad... I might not get on the Shard for a couple of years at the least.

I'm so sorry.

You guys can take over my RP characters if I have to leave.

I just... sorry. Yeah.

Who here has heard of L. Ron Hubbard's "Writers of the Future" contest?

No one? No?

Well, I just entered it for the first time since I learned about it--which was about two years ago--with a fantasy narrative two years in the making: Wishing Away. It was once called Life Awaits, but I changed the name to fit the theme a little better about... fifteen minutes ago?

Anyways, it's a pretty prestigious contest, so while winning is unlikely, it's certainly a huge hope of mine. One of the judges is Brandon Sanderson, so from the day I get my results, I'm totally going to flex on y'alls all like: "Yeah, Brando Sando might've read my stuff. Once."

But... yeah. This is a pretty big achievement for me, so... hooray!

Don't die!
