  1. And so the time has come.

    In the past I imagined making a huge post where I listed all of the important people and said something nice, but...let's be honest, there are a lot of you. Which is awesome. I'm so glad I've had so many people here be receptive and welcoming to me and my weird ideas. I'm so glad that this has been a community where I can express a part of me I didn't really know I had before I came here. And I'm glad it's still going strong today, even if a lot of the people who were with me at the start have left.

    It's kind of hard to figure out what to say at the end of all this. It's strange, because I know this isn't the end for me. I have a whole lot of awesome stuff in front of me. I've received so many witnesses that this is what I'm supposed to do, and that I'll find joy and happiness in my service. So I'm not sad about that. But...it's still an ending. An ending, even though it may be a temporary one, to little relationships I've had for a long time now. And that's kind of sad.

    But I'd rather focus on the happiness that came from those relationships, rather than the gap there'll be going forward. Journey before Destination, right? In the end it's more important what we had, rather than the fact that it might have to end. (And I'm lucky in that I have a lot more journey ahead of me.)

    So...thank you, everyone, for everything you've done. If you're dissapointed that I didn't ping you specifically and say something specific, if you think you know what Bookwyrm would have said about you, then know that you deserve that. Each of you deserve to be satisfied with how you made my life a little better. Remember that.

    Will I come back? I think I'll try to. I've invested too much of my time into this not to want to check in again in two years. Will I stay? That depends. If a lot of you have moved on, then I might move on too, unless I can somehow carve a spot for me in the future Shard two years from now. We'll also have to see where my focus lies in those years after my mission.

    Regardless, I'll make an attempt. But I do have a request; make sure the community section keeps going while I'm gone. Draft some new people and be welcoming to those that join. Teach them to participate in TLT (don't let TLPW beat it. Ever. Under any circumstances). Get them into RPs. And SE. And Hunger Games. And all that jazz. Even if the Shard won't be for me in two years, I still want it to be for someone.

    So yeah. Thank you all, again, for everything. Until we meet again!

    (Also, if you wanted to be on my email list and didn't get added, just ask around and find someone who did. They can send me an email with your address, and I'll make sure you get added.)

      Well, I don't get notifs for new SUs. So as long as you guys don't go re-explode all the SUs I've ever made or replied to, or quote me way more than would ever make sense, I should be fine.

      Ohhhh

      ...But then how did I just use like four rep?

      I guess maybe I did a rep burst 24 hours and some minutes ago, and then got those all back in quick succession.

      I wish there was a way to test this without breaking rules about rep-bombing.

      Apparently the rollover is the same for everyone.

      ...But it's 12:35...

      Okay, maybe that hypothesis isn't accurate.

      Or they decided to make it 12:34 for fun.

      There is much information to be gleaned from an ellipsis, if you know how to unearth it.

  19. Being married is pretty awesome

    Life is really good right now, even though depression is being a bit annoying. I'm enjoying my classes and I get to make movies all the time so I can't complain.

    How are all y'all doing?

  21. I just found a double bladed lightsaber for $60. that's so cheap, and I think with haggling, I can get it lower. The temptation is there. And it is strong. I must resist

  22. STORYTIME (again again!)

    So two days ago I was with some friends and we got Macy's ice cream

    And I got a mama-size cone (the size names are family members- kiddie, baby, mama, daddy, and then like, jumbo or smth is the biggest idk)

    So I got a mama, which is a huuuuuuge amount of ice cream

    I got it because I wanted it to last me a couple days, right?

    So I ate a little and then took the rest home and put it in the freezer, then went to bed.

    The NEXT day, I got home from school and ate some food and stuff, then remembered "oh, I have ice cream!"

    So I opened the freezer-

    and it was gone.

    And I was like

    "crap."

    So I asked all my family members, and my mom was like

    "Oh, your sister ate it"

    and I was like

    "WHY DID YOU LET HER"

    and she was like

    "because she thought it was hers"

    and I was like 

    "I told you it was mine"

    So I went and talked to my sister about it and she was like 

    "ohhhh that's my bad. I thought it was mine so I took a bite, but I didn't want anymore so I threw it away . . ."

    and I was like

    "YOU THREW IT AWAY?? THAT WAS SO MUCH ICE CREAM"

    and she was like

    "yeah sorryyyyy"

    and so I was very pissed :D

    Huzzah!

    *sigh*

    at least the ice cream was cheap

      It wasn't the website necessarily that was the problem, rather the fact that I couldn't read the website reminded me that I'm somehow going to be fluent in this language in less than two years and that I'm painfully unprepared to teach something that has changed my life so much for the better in that language.

      There's a lot of work.

      (also I've never left the country before and even though I'll only be in Mexico for 5 weeks I'm still nervous about having to deal with all that travel on my own)
