  1. Question, just for curiosity's sake: What's the difference between being in the closet and being in the egg? Are they different?
  2. uh

    hi

    maybe I'm back

    maybe not

    I don't know yet

      Heyo! How you been?

      I have been!

      Mostly good, but with some random crying thrown in.

      My family missed seeing the long eclipse even though we drove a few hours to be in the path of totality because clouds happened.

      I got to take care of small children after their school day ended. This went on for several weeks and was quite fun, but also not.

      Also, College. It do be.

  3. Most of the interactions I have had with boys I'm friends with have been with my brothers or cousins. Maybe that just means I've had a weird life. I'm trying to figure out the non-physical differences in how the interactions should be because the physical ones are obvious and nobody ever really talks about the mental/emotional/social/intellectual/whatever-other-not-physical-types-of differences in how the interactions should be. Should I tease him and talk to him and treat him and support him and encourage him and worry about his problems and try to help him and fight with him like I would one of my brothers? Or differently? If differently, how? In trying to understand this all it doesn't help that I kind of stunted my own social and emotional growth. That's probably why I need this help. (Oh also, this is specifically in regards to someone who likes spending time with me and probably knows I like spending time with him.)
  4. Semi-awkward question I would really like an answer to: In the non-physical ways, how ought one treat someone they like* differently than they ought to** treat a sibling***?
  5. I found these in my clipboard.

    I may have written this one, it sounds like something I maybe did: "It broke. It broke and I cannot fix it. I cannot build it, I cannot break it again. I cannot name what is broken, I only know that it Is and I will never know how to mend it again." Did I steal it and forget I stole it?

    I'm sure I didn't write this one, it doesn't sound like me (it's too good) and I have not even a vague memory of writing it (or something similar) like I do with the other one: "One day the world will be too much for me. Too big. Too vast. I will be unable to stomach it. I will take my first sip of despair and I will watch as the light in my chest goes out. I will keep living, knowing what it once was like to be hopeful."

    If one or both of these are yours, or you might know whose they are, please tell me?

      Heyyy I found them!

      I did, in fact, steal them and forget all about it. I'm still not sure where I stole them from tho.

  6. I've been doing habits wrong.

     

    But hey, now that I know that (and how to do them better) I might be able to manage essays better!

  7. Happy birthday Tani!

    Spoiler

    Or quicksilver if you go by that now

      Thank you! Either works.

  8. Part of why I'm going with just "Christians" is because we believe in Christ, just like the other Christian groups do, and I would rather emphasize that most-important similarity than emphasize all the different pieces that are different and that many others don't fully understand. Yes, there are things we believe differently from other Christian groups, but we all believe that Christ lived then and lives now, He loves us, He died for our sins, and because of Him we can live with God again. @Ookla the Silver (this isn't an RP, you don't have to speak in quote boxes.)
  9. I'm pretty sure President Nelson said we shouldn't call ourselves "Latter-Day Saints" because it has the same problem "Mormons" did - it takes out the name of Christ. I'm going with Christians.
  10. Rilla sat on the floor of the room she'd been hiding in all day, rocking back and forth, head in her hands, muttering to herself. "I don't know anything useful. I don't even know what's happening anymore. Onon was right, I misjudged Sirta. I just... I didn't know that was how it was supposed to work. Now what? What do I do, what do I do, what do I do? I have to think things through as well as I can before sunset. Onon... Onon's dead! The ghosts have taken him away! They were supposed to help him! They liked him. Is that why they took him? Think. Think! I don't know what to think." She reached for her notes, but they dissolved in her hands. "No. No! Now what? Am I useless? Just like that? No, I have to find some way to help. Rem. Rem? I don't think it's Rem. But if Rem's a Thug, not a Lurcher, shouldn't someone have said something about maybe not killing Sono based on Rem's claim? Why didn't Onon say something? He knew. Rem couldn't say something without giving the Spiked a clear opportunity, could he? No. The Spiked attacked him on the first day. They would have killed him if they knew they could for sure. Pending. Pending says he wasn't blessed by the mists, right? Yes, that's right. But so much can hide behind such a claim. What if he was blessed, and he claimed not to be so he could hide, invisible among us? I don't know anything, do I. Sirta. I think I trust Sirta. Onon trusted him, and he's trying. "Pending. I'm sorry. I just - don't know what else to do."
