    Run upstairs as fast as you can. This reminds me of a meme I saw One time in my childhood I *swear* I heard steps on my basement stairs....then I went to go check and my bedroom door slammed shut behind me....scariest moment of my life When you can't sleep

    You know you're weird when you do research on colleges- but not ordinary research- to the point that you make half a dozen google docs comparing and contrasting different double major routes like Mathematics/CompSci and Applied Math/CompSci and Computational Math/Electrical Engineering and figure out exactly which classes you'd need to take which semester to make sure you can feasibly graduate in four years...AND compare which AP credits are taken and which aren't between schools even though you have over a year until your freshman year in college.

    @SymphonianBookworm, first off, thank you for being such an amazing friend. My experience with the Shard would be so different without you here. You've been an incredible support for me, and you're really good at making me smile when I need to most. You're a great writer- I love reading the stories you come up with, even if they do have incredibly tragic endings, and I'm grateful that you shared that with me. I've also had tons of fun RPing with you! We seem to have many of the same interactions in different threads- my character the arrogant strongarm vs your persuasive, motivated orator- which I find hilarious. You always find a way to put my characters in their rightful places. You're driven, you're empathetic, and you truly care about the people you meet. You have a talent for listening and understanding, which is something I'm always trying to work on myself. I can confidently say that you've made the Shard a better place. Thanks for being a wonderful Shardbuddy, Symph

    Hmmmm I love SA.... my favorite tends to be the most recent of the four I've read I agree! I also find Nathis fascinating and the whole Breath magic system unique.

    I'm in! I'll play as Sircyn, son of Tellyn. I'm curious to see how this differs from the LG I just played, but I'm definitely looking forward to playing!

    Never. Maybe "y'all" occasionally, but never "yeehaw" What's the best grade of school? (like K-12)

    I finished the (extended) Lord of the Rings Trilogy! It's truly a masterful sequence of films! Music, set design, choreography, acting, costumes, cinematography.... It's all *chefs kiss* Magnifico!

    Anyway, my sister and I were interested in the making of the movie and we found a couple fun facts!

    • Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) did not have a stunt double and used a real steel sword while filming
    • Christopher Lee had read the LotR books every year for over 40 years before getting the role of Saruman.
    • Nazgul screeches were made by scraping plastic cups cups together
    • Viggo Mortensen formed such a strong bond with the horse he rode on set that he purchased him (and another horse to give him a friend) from the owners after filming.
    • Apparently Tolkien wasn't allowed to publish the trilogy until it was typewritten, but he didn't have any experience, so he typed all 1,200 pages of The Lord of the Rings with the two fingers technique!
    • Several of the Riders of Rohan were portrayed by women wearing fake beards
    • Sean Bean (Boromir) refused to fly to set in a helicopter so each day he hiked in his heavy armor up the mountain to film.
    • Ian McKellen and Elijah Wood never actually acted alongside each other because of their immense height difference and so their scenes were spliced together post-production

    Kinda crazy, right!

    In other news, this next week, I'm going to be very busy, so I don't think I'll be able to be on the Shard much (if at all) until later in the week. Everything's already starting to pick up- school is stressful, y'all!

    Nightblood devoured 798 tasty souls for Thursday lunch. However, the kandra, who had formerly formulated a terrifying plan to eventually become Ruin, decided to devour Nightblood.
