The Halcyon Girl

Is #4 because of Interstellar?

Nope. I just saw it on an old flashcard. Revived my love of those sentences.

HI!!!

STORM IT THAT SWORD IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SCUDDING THING IVE EVER SEEN I LOVE IT. 

I know that poem too, it’s a very good one. 

They are so fun! I need more of them!

I think everybody does. Me especially

Are you really having fun if you're not high on chocolate?

Depends on the nature of said fun. Quiet fun, like Roleplaying on the couch with a phone (wish I could computer instead but oh well) is such a type of fun. But being high on chocolate? That’s BEST fun.

I’m just learning, but I like it a lot. 

@Thaidakar the Ghostblood you can turn off notifications for status replies. Best decision I've ever made on the shard.

Killing characters and resurrecting them quickly becomes cheap as Frusty said. The most you can do this for one character is twice, best would be just once. And if you do do it, try and set it up early on. Don't do it with multiple characters in your books too. It will become predictable.

Yes, Wizard will die in time. So much potential in that happening. Been planning it for a while, since he came back. This time, he will be dead for good.

I like the implication that you know their social social security number but just refuse to eat it.

He has a number on his profile, but it's clearly not a real number. You don't just go around eating strange social security numbers. That's not safe.

Ew, no. Not safe at all! What if it’s just a fish’s number? Or someone really mean? What then?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's okay now you get to blow stuff up for longer

True that! True that  

Good job I guess? But why are you making a language? That's very cool, I'm just wondering the reason. 

No word for chocolate—yet. I have a long list of needed words…

I’m making it because I want to. It’s for my novel. It’ll only be in once in a while, but for some reason I’m making an entire language. Cuz… I dunno. I just am.  

Fair enough. Doing stuff just cause you can is always a solid reason.

That being said, school is not always very flexible for people with outside circumstances causing stress, anxiety, or depression. In my experience with that kind of thing, I end up lacking almost any motivation for schoolwork or just general daily things, but I'll get pulled into some other project at the drop of a hat. Which of course leads to more stress.

If school is going to be the place where we must grow and be productive, you could make an argument for homeschooling in that it's good to have teachers and a learning setting that is linked with your life personally to allow for flexibility and better mental health.

At the same time, it is impossible for many families to be able to do that. Some families rely on school to be a place for their kids while the parents work. In my opinion, the best thing we can do for public schools is continue researching into the causes of stress and ways to change them, as well as ways to approach teen mental health in general. Of course, people are already doing that, but we really need to work on implementing it into schools.

I'll shy away from specific examples because I don't want to make myself out to be an expert. I think, though, that it really is going to take time to make those changes. For now, if you are struggling with those kinds of things, you should talk to a counselor if your school has one or a therapist if you think that could help.

Also, please tell me what you think of what I just said if you can. I know I probably said something stupid up there, so let me know.

Hello.

I'm late to the party.

I only have two finals because I go to a special Focus Program every day after the first two class periods of my normal high school.

At that Science Focus Program, we instead have "portfolios", which are big projects that show the accumulation of our knowledge over the class.

And these portfolios are due soon. And not all of them are done. And I have so much stuff to do and it's stressful and....

Yeah.

(Now, time to go read what everyone else has posted!)

I’m also late to the party. 
I am glad that we have education, but I think that in America especially, it just doesn’t fulfill its job. Language arts classes especially drive me crazy, though this might just be because I read too much. Still, I think that they shouldn’t be teaching high schoolers how to use a comma. All the freshmen are supposed to read Romeo and Juliet; instead, we watched the movies and compared them. 
They seem to cater to the needs of the students that aren’t willing to put in any work themselves. This might be harsh, but after having to sit through classes that repeat the same thing they do every year, I’m just a little bit bugged by it. They should keep students up to a certain level, yes, but they also need to let other students go faster. Otherwise, there’s no point in giving up so much of your time just to sit around wasting said time. 

Sorry, that was kind of harsh, and I am by no means an expert. This is just a subject that bothers me a lot. Contradict me as needed. 

The exhaustion and hours are soooo worth it, and it is a good kind of exhaustion! Chookas Haly! (That is the Aussie version of break a leg)

Well, please don't die/ That would be sad.

Good luck!

Break all the legs! Don’t worry, no one makes it through tech week without crying. 

Nice!!! I loovveee jangly bracelets. I don't have any though...

Go forth, young squire

Go make jangling chaos

Enjoy the bracelets.

Haly got jangly bracelets

Enchanted with magic so fine.

Haly got jangly bracelets,

And now they shall be mine!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yes, let's force him to do something! I don't even know what that is!!! 

I'm late to the party but do that or suffer.

Hey, Forgettable, seriously?

WAHOOOOO

Those nights are the best

They’re my favorites  

That

Sounds

So

Fun

Also, I get like that a lot when I'm tired. The laughing thing, I mean.

Been too busy with OTHER roleplay... *cough cough*

Oh, well… sorry!

Hahaha, it's totally not your fault. I enjoy our roleplay 11/10  

*eats throne*

VIVA LA REVALUATION!

I'm gonna overthrow this government, then I'm gonna make a new government and overthrow that government.

Then I will go mad with power execute thousands of people, get executed, and replaced by a new government, which will be overthrown by a new government. Which will be turned into an empire.

That empire will take over most of the world, get overthrown, and then come back only to be overthrown by the original government.

Or you can give me a protein shake and a bag of chips, whichever you prefer.

Here, have all the food you want. We found a way to get soulcasters to make yummy food.

*informs Thaidakar that there is no throne yet, and so you cannot possibly be on it*

I have a buffet in the corner, if you’d like to eat.

*eats everything in the buffet in 10 minutes flat, then asks where dessert is*

*blinks as eats the rest of the room*

I think you have magic powers. 

Someone just yelled, “Time for pie!”

HAHA I CONTROL THE UNIVERSE

I have MAGIC

Enjoy your pie!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Haly!

@Cinnamon just reminded me of this and 

LOLLLLLL what the heck

Oh yeah I still have that screensaver.

We are all crazy

Yay happiness!

Yay!

Happiness! Now go "share" it with others, fire nation style.

Have fun! remember that it's okay to make mistakes, even if something does go wrong, (which I'm sure it won't ), just keep on playing. An imperfect performance is better than a half finished performance! Don't stress out to much and you'll be just fine 

My show choir director always says, "It's okay to make mistakes! Don't let it get to you. Everyone here wants you to succeed and won't mind a few slip-ups. Just keep going." 
He also says a lot about how you're more likely to succeed if you're confident. Even if you don't feel it, "Fake it till you make it!"

You'll be great, Halcy! 

You will play amazingly, I'm sure of it.

Yay! Twirly skirt! My favorite kind!

Yess!! swirly skirts are the best!!!

I need a twirly skirt. Is it longer or shorter? What color is it?

You are very right. I’m just a person who enjoys pretending.

And yes I win the game.  

To the subject at hand…

I asked my brother, and his answer made me laugh. 
He said (he’s blonde too) “We don’t need to think. We know.”

He’s SMART.

Haly for some reason I pictured you as brunette.

I think it was just because of your old PFP

 I’ve noticed profile pics are very… misleading. They make your brain be like ‘DAS DE PERSON’ when das not de person at all. 

I imagine Haly from the insanity clinic as my old pfp though.  

It's the most wonderful place on the Internet Thanks for being a part of our community, Haly - you're a great person to interact with, and I'm glad I know you.

 Yup. The shard is great! I wish you could be on it more too!

I love the shard too! it's awesome, especially because of people like you 

Woahhh

Yay! Good for you!

Cool!

I agree completely with your rant, except that your point was the teacher's point. He's a great teacher.

Ah, I can see that I misinterpreted your original post. Sorry about that.

Nah, it was vague anyway. I prolly should have specified.

Nope! Not a bad guess, I suppose.

A dragon turtle who breathes dire petulance.

HAHAHA I LOVE THAT GUESS

Sadly, no.

I dont know what that means, but good for you!

That's great!
