  1. So I'm having a problem that maybe you guys can help with. I need to make a decision, not even a big one, but just one that affects the rest of my weekend. Shouldn't be that hard. The issue is that I want to do choice 1, but I think that everyone read my parents is going to be disappointed/mad at me if I choose that one. I really, really don't want to do choice 2, but it would involve getting about 8 hours of driving time, which I need. And this is the choice that my parents want me to choose. 

    Still shouldn't be that hard, but every time I start trying to think about making this decision, I stop being able to breathe and I get really shaky, which is weird because that's never happened to me before. 

    I need to make this decision within the next like 5 hours and I really don't know what to do. Any advice?

      Well I'm the end I made a decision, was informed that it was the wrong one, and forced to do the other. So :/

      Well... that sucks. Sorry that it didn't work out.

  2. Just found 2 actual errors and 1 horribly worded question on my 29 question chemistry test. 0K is not the same as 0C, and indirectly proportional does not mean the same as inversely proportional :lol: They need to fix our textbook. In the past, we have also found questions on tests that attempt to use elements that have not yet been discovered, or have mislabeled elements with the wrong elemental symbol. It's quite the adventure lol.

      I occasionally find stuff like that in my physics class, also less extreme and usually never a wrong answer.

      Our chemistry textbook is... creative lol :lol: 

  3. Four things! 

    1) I watched Knives Out and Glass Onion last night. Knives Out was fantastic! Glass Onion was not sadly. My parents had seen them both and didn't like either so I didn't have very high expectations but Knives Out was really good! Solid mystery. Chris Evans' character was the best. His name was Ransom I think? Best character in the movie by far. 

    2) I have recently rewatched all three How to Train Your Dragon movies, ending with me watching #3 last night. Yes I watched movies instead of sleeping its fine How to Train Your Dragon has figured out how to be an amazing franchise! The first movie sets everything up perfectly and is amazing and pure and so sweet and everyone loves it! Movie 2 is my personal favorite which is odd because I normally dislike the middle of a trilogy. But it's just so good! The climax! The characters! The emotion! The ANIMATION! It's all utterly fantastic! And movie three is such a satisfying conclusion that explores legitimate issues with real relationships and made me cry. Granted I was tired and it was late by the time I finished, but it accomplished making me cry, which doesn't happen often! High praise. 

    3) I saw a rather terrifying manifestation of ducks yesterday. We were driving down a main road in town, completely normal, when I saw about 200 ducks just sitting perfectly still under these two trees on the side of the road. Not a single one moved. They were all mallard ducks and they were all very evenly spaced over the area. It was quite freaky.

    4) My Cytoverse box came! It has some really cool things in it this time that I wasn't anticipating at all!

    That ended up longer than I was anticipating :lol: sorry

      Yeah I might have to watch Glass Onion again when it's not 3:30 in the morning and I'm close to insanity. I just didn't like the mystery as much *shrug* It wasn't as well put together I thought. 

      Knives Out is definitely pending a rewatch! I'm excited!

      You should rewatch them! They're some of my favorite animated movies. 

      The ducks were great :lol: Felt like something out of TMA. Some eldritch duck horror being lol

      I love Knives out...I'm with you on Glass Onion, though. I wish there were a third act, with another level of twist. Honestly, I was expecting one and was disappointed by how it ended.

      DUCKSSSSSSSS jazz?

      I'm looking forward to my box! I don't know what's in it this time and am excited for the surprise!

    4. Morningtide

      Morningtide

      Yeah overall the mystery just didn't have the level of impact that the one in Knives out did. 

      I deliberately didn't say what was in the box to preserve the surprise :D I will say that I didn't expect any of it and it's very cool

  4. Ok I changed my profile photo back kinda. I couldn't get my old one to work though so I have this one now!

  5. Happy Birthday!!

  7. I'm on my way to a really cool orchestra concert! They are going to play a Nat Geo movie and the orchestra is playing the live background music!!!

      Just a general symphony type I guess? It really sounds just like the score for a national geographic movie. But it changes like in the desert biome it was lighter and quicker, and in the sea biome had a lot of deeper and slower notes.

      I hate that song... kids played it in school anytime they had a chance to get ahold of the teachers display board. 

  9. If I ever needed proof that the American school system is crap I just found it. I stayed home from school because headaches do not pair well with large groups of high school students. So I'm sitting at home with relatively loud music and no other humans. It is currently 9:30 and I am completely done with my schoolwork for the day except for about an hour of math. So I'll be done but 11:00 at the latest I think.

    Why is school this way? It's ridiculous

      Is it that school makes you more unproductive because of the people in it?

      Well, it's true. At least some times.

    3. Morningtide

      I'm not sure what I'm saying :lol: Honestly I'm just annoyed. I finished all of my school work in 3 hours and it usually takes me a whole school day so that says something *shrug* I got a bit rant-y lol

      Also I'm sure it's the people. people are nice but make doing things very unproductive :P

  10. I have discovered something very shocking and amazing. 

    Groundhogs are supposed to live up to 14 years in captivity. Fairly normal for an animal of that size I think. 

    BUT. Punxsutawney Phil, the official Groundhog Day groundhog is 125 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!! How you might ask?

    According to the official website, he is given an "elixir of life" every summer. 

    WHAT. So we can make immortal animals now? Or is he just being replaced and nobody knows... :ph34r:

     

  11. School's canceled for the second day in a row!!! One good thing about it being below -20 F

      Idaho is quite cold :P Honestly I love it. Winter is my favorite season and I could not survive without snow.

  12. I just had the most amazing and relaxing art class ever. My art teacher is teaching a bunch of different subjects (sculpture, drawing, ect.) and somehow me and one other person are the only people in the whole school using her suuuuper nice Prismacolor colored pencils this week! The other person was currently using ink instead, so my amazing art teacher let me sit there and organize all 17 packages of the colored pencils! They were horrifically out of order and some had too many pencils crammed in and it was just a disaster. It took me the whole period to get all of the things sorted out and it was the best 80 minutes of my week!!!

  13. The amount of time I just spent not doing math in my math class because I went through all 94 of my notifs. 

    It was significantly more fun that sin, cos, and tan!

      Haha morntingtide this says something pathetic about my off shard social life but i was waiting all weekend for you to be active again so you'd see my thing in my art thread about TMA and my thing in the TRC thread lmaoo

    3. Morningtide

      Morningtide

      lol that's amazing. I do the same thing honestly, especially for posts on the TRC thread! It probably says something bad about my off shard life that I am only on during school:ph34r:

      No not the physical copy, the Hoid box. I think the physical copy got bumped to February because of delays. 

  15. Hmmm just got a bunch of SUs about the ama trend lol. I will jump on the bandwagon! You should go find mine and ask me some questions :D

  16. I literally can't remember if I've already made an SU about this, so sorry if I have. 

    My english teacher said that for our next project we could pick any topic as long as it was about some "human development", which is a very, very loose term. So, I picked the formation/revolution of the fantasy, YA, and Children's lit genres! Essentially meaning that I get to write a whole essay on Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Disney, and all of their works. It's going to be awesome!

      I should include that!

  17. Two things. First, the Netherlands Dwarf Rabbit is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. I need one. You should look it up. The second cutest thing is the Flemish Giant Rabbit and I also need one of those. You should look that up too :D 

    Second, I just took the Enneagram Personality test and got type 3, with type 1 close behind. 

    1. That1Cellist

      That1Cellist

      Yes yes yes Netherlands are adorable. Also, Dwarf Hotots and Dutches. They are so cute too.

      Also Lionhead rabbits are cute. I could go on and on about a bunch of different breeds but those are some of my favorites.

    2. Morningtide

      Morningtide

      I have to look those up!

      Oh great, now there are two of them :P

  18. So I downloaded Secret Project 1 on kindle. I thought I'd just read it off and on until the hardcover arrived. I have discovered that I have no self control :lol: It is currently 1:20ish am where I am and I just finished the whole book. I probably should have slept lol but it was sooooooooooo good! The prose and everything was amazing.

      Oh that would be crazy fun! I'm not sure if he does. Their website says that they get help from "byu writing faculty" or something like that and that theoretically includes him. I don't know if he'll be there though. 

    3. Ranryu

      Ranryu

      He's been there before, though.

      Oh really! I'm even more excited then. I was looking at the schedule and it is very clear that it is a whole camp full of teenage nerds. There's a book signing night and other equally nerdy stuff. I'm all for it :lol:

  20. My new bookshelf! Not with Lost Metal on it yet because it's being read
