I AM GOING TO DO IT! no matter how long it takes I WILL DO IT! but for small time goals  I will get to the top of the yearly leaderboard and work my way to the all time. LET'S DO THIS! (note: if any mods see this as asking for rep, this is not the intent of this post)

    Hey.

    I like "Turning Red," not just because I'm of the female persuasion. It made me cry, which is high praise coming from me.

    That is all.

    Go back to your shipping.

    Lyra awoke with a start gasping. Tha-that was.. that nightmare. It felt so real, like it actually happened. But she knew for a fact that it wasn’t, for Cardithia had many ally’s and was not under attack. Their closest Ally was Kendoia. The dream made everything seem wrong, except for the fact that she was betrothed to the prince of Kendoia, Prince Vladimir whom which she had met before. He was a very very handsome man. He was in his early twenties and Lyra was nineteen turning twenty in just a few short weeks. 

    The betrothal treaty says that the eldest daughter is to marry the prince exactly two weeks after the princess’s twentieth birthday. Which is in exactly six weeks today. She will have to move hundreds of miles away from her home. I’ve been training for this my entire life she thought with a little bit of hope. 

    Each day she would get even more nervous for the wedding. 

    Vladimir is a wonderful man she thought to herself. He’s kind, thoughtful, and fit to be a proper King. She could tell that her sisters envied her. 

    She sat their, thoughtful, on her bed until she invited her maids in to get her ready for the day.

     

    One hour later she stood before her mirror, examining her new dress. She smiled, her seamstress outdid herself this time.  She thanked her maids and headed to the dining hall for her breakfast.

    She sat down at the dining table, her younger brothers and sisters must’ve already eaten. She delicately picked up the fork, and knife and began cutting her pancakes with elegance, if that was possible. 

    After she finished her meal, she went to her lessons, today’s was.. what is todays? She wondered, ah, Cardithia history. She remembered. Lyra had separate classes then her siblings, for they did not have as extensive training in manners or politics as she did. She needed to learn these things so that, she could be the best Queen she could be. She walked with grace to the library where she took her lessons. 

    When she got there, there was a man in there with her father, whom had a grim expression. Oh no, she thought, fear running through her body like ice.

    It’s not my best, but I like it I guess lol.

  10. you guys. I can’t sleep, tomorrow I have a writing festival I got selected to go to and my brain won’t go to sleep, my body is more than happy too. The excitement it killling me!

    Honestly I didn’t think I would ever be so excited about going to a writing thing. Two years ago I would have laughed at the thought. (I hated reading and writing) and then I discovered the world of Brandon Sanderson.

    basically, I might be in the shard until my eyes get too tired to stay awake.

       Thanks :D

      I mean, I should, but it’s like the feeling when you were younger on Christmas Eve and you couldn’t wait until the next morning (and you end up getting two hours of sleep) 
      The paper I submitted was actually the Freddie Mercury Paper I wrote and shared with you guys a few weeks back.

  13.  Anyone have 500 dollars I can steal?

  14. I recently started listening to podcasts. Are there any you guys would recommend? Ones I like so far are

    • We Fix Space Junk
    • Dear Hank & John
    • Writing Excuses
    • Welcome to Night Vale
    • and my favourite, The Strange Case of Starship Iris.

    If it's fiction, I'd prefer something with strong character relationships, good dialogue, and at least a little humour. If nonfiction, a light tone.

      I mean… If you don’t listen to them already, Shard Casts are really good….

  16. Hey everyone! I’m back for a little bit, I had forgotten my password and just now remembered it lol.

  17. Ok, so here is the paper on Freddie Mercury. Keep in mind that it’s not the greatest thing I’ve ever done, nevertheless I’m proud of it. So, I don’t want to offend anyone; but in the 6th and 7th paragraph, it talks about his lifestyle, so if you are uncomfortable about that topic, you don’t have to read it! 

    Spoiler

    Sorry guys; I just really wanna share this part of the paper, cause I feel it is important. Again, I don’t want to offend anyone. Thanks!

    We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions. These are all songs by the famous rock band Queen. But the legend who sings these songs, Freddie Mercury, is a man you want to learn about. Therefore, this essay will be about Freddie Mercury, and the legacy he began. 

            Mercury was born on September 6, 1946, he was born as Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar. At age seven, Mercury was sent to study at a boarding school called St. Peter’s School in modern-day India. Im his free time, he learned to play the piano and spent time with his relatives. In his early life, He started to write Bohemian Rhapsody when he was a student at St. Peter’s School. A little later in his life, he joined the band Ibex, then played in a few others before he joined his future bandmates, creating the band we all know and love Queen.

            Mercury was the lead vocalist and creator of the band Queen, their music reached the top of U.S. and British charts in the 1970s and 80s. Then Bohemian Rhapsody hit in the top 10 in the U.S. 

            One thing that was unique about Mercury, is he had four extra teeth in the back of his mouth, creating a very unique smile for the famous singer. He was also a very shy person when he wasn’t preforming, especially around people he didn’t know and had very few interviews. One of his most famous quotes says, “When I’m preforming, I’m an extrovert. Yet Inside I’m a completely different man.”

             Mercury and Queen played all over the world, one minute they would be playing in the U.S. the next they were in Germany. He not only wrote songs with Queen, but he also wrote songs by himself. He came out with two solo albums and many singles. Although his solo songs weren’t as famous as the Queen songs, two of them hit top ten in the UK music charts.

            Later in his life, Mercury came out as gay and said, “I am what I am. So what? And that itself for some was a statement.” Meaning, just because he was gay didn’t mean he could still accomplish things. He also wasn’t afraid of publicly expressing his gayness. But he was unwilling to for others to analyze or justify his lifestyle. 

            A little after that he was then diagnosed with a disease called HIV. After he was diagnosed with HIV, he continued to record with queen until, he died of AIDS on November 24, 1991, at the age of 45.

            Freddie Mercury, left behind a legacy of rock music. His music is still popular in modern day. Bohemian Rhapsody is still one of the most famous songs in rock history. Not many people know about the man, this should inspire some to learn about the lead vocalists in popular bands.

    Let me know if any of the information is incorrect, I think I did all of my research pretty good. 

  18. Sooooooooooooooooooooo.

    I was browsing my account and changing a few things, then I looked at the date that I joined. It said January 30, 2021! That’s exactly a year ago! It’s crazy that it’s been a whole year!

    Thank you all for making me feel welcome when I joined a whole year ago! And thank you for just always being a fun crowd to hang out with on the shard lol.

  20. So, I hate to post two status updates in one day, it’s just I got to mention something.

    So, recently I have developed a love for classic rock. I was listening to my one my relatives music playlist and it was all Freddie Mercury and Queen lol. some of the major songs I’m obsessed with are Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen,  Come Together by The Beatles, Hey Jude by The Beatles, Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, and like a bunch more.

    Basically, I’m obsessed with Freddie Mercury and Queen. I actually wrote a paper in school about a famous person, and I chose Freddie Mercury. 

    Spoiler

    It was kind of hard to write, because well… I was perfectly fine with the way he lived, I don’t ever care lol. But I wanted to make sure people didn’t get offended in anyway in you know what I’m talking about lol.

    I’m also quite obsessed with The Beatles. I actually got 4 Beatles records for Christmas.

    So yea. Do any of y’all have same obsession as me?

    Spoiler

    If y’all want, I could post the paper if you want, I’ll only post heat of it since it’s so long and some parts are more personal so…. Yea. Let me know if you guys wanna see it!
