I am completely and utterly fine nothing is wrong at all and I feel very happy.

I'm all out of words though. I can't speak anymore.

I'm confused.

Anyway, I remembered recently how terrified I was of the movie Up when I was smaller. I had so many nightmares about the bird, the dogs, my house flying away on balloons, the airship tilting all over the place, and especially Mr. Fredrickson yelling at the construction worker. I was also scared of the beginning when they go into that old building all by themselves or something. That movie traumatized me.

yep

its snowing again

 

Happy International Women's Day 

How does one do the resume thing?

This pfp madness had been quite fun, but I am done lol.

In other news, has anyone here read the locked tomb series, and if so, do they want to be best friends?

My copy of Alloy of Law finally came in the mail!!

I'm really excited about it 

even though I can't read till I finish RoW

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

FIRST SNOW OF THE YEAR 

WE GOT A TWO HOUR DELAY FOR FIVE WONDERFUL INCHES OF SNOW

all the other schools around us got the day off but you take what you can get

SNOW!!

 

I have made the decision that I want to join a rp but I have no experience. Do you have any suggestions as to one’s that would be good to join at the moment?

It is literally blizzarding so hard right now you can barely see past the other side of the street

holy crap 

You guys last night I saw the worst play of my entire life!

Actors forgot lines, props went missing, the director had to give lines, someone LITERALLY got knocked out, and the whole set started to go kaputz.

It was awful.

TEARS OF THE KINGDOM RELEASE DATE

 things are getting pretty wild where I live rn, its kinda crazy

so on sunday, we got like a full foot of snow, which is unfortunate but not that bad,

but yesterday, the HIGHEST temperature was -1 degrees, and it got so low (-24) that they delayed school because there was risk of frostbite (yikes), we had to use a broom to push all the snow of off our car that morning (which I find funny for some reason idk it was a weird experience)

today, it's still really cold, and on top of that the power went out for a while all over the area (not at my school though so I still had to go). It went out at around 9:30 a.m., and I have no idea if it's come back on yet. 

It's currently 0 degrees, which is better than yesterday so hopefully this is the tail end of it 

haha I really don't like winter 

Me: *wakes up*

Me: *gets out of bed*

Me: *looks around*

Me: "wow these graphics are terrible"

Me:

Me: "oh wait I wear glasses"

Welp… I’m banned from the shard for an indefinite amount of time. Tomorrow’s my last night. It’s something about getting real friends (but the people around me are boring or moral-less) so yeah see y’all when I leave the house. 

I’ll just go cry now. See you tomorrow.

Woooooo first day of school!! 

I'm not freaking out! You're freaking out!!!

Also its my birthday. YAY!

Who's the one going back through all my old status updates and repping them?

Come on. Fess up.

[12:22 AM; Jan 22, 2023]

Ladies, gents, and genderbents; we call this court into session to discuss the reinclusion of Pluto into the Solar System Family. All rise for the honorable judge.

[Judge enters]

"At ease. Defendant may state their case."

[Defending Attourney]: Your honor, let the record show that there are three qualifying factors to make you a planet:

1. Be round (have enough gravity to squish yourself into a ball - known as Hydrostatic Equilibrium)
2. Orbit the sun (obviously)
3. Achieve influencial domination

That third one is the one that disqualifies Pluto. Influencial domination means that the object in question has assimilated most or all smaller objects on their orbital path - that is to say, that it has conglomerated enough mass to dominate its sphere of influence. Pluto has achieved no such end result.

[Judge]: Very well. May the prosecutor make their case.

[Fadran (Prosecuting)]: Your honor, let the record show that this assumption was derived arbitrarily. While it is an effective claim, it is not based in fact or logic.

[Defending]: Objection!

[Judge]: Defending?

[Defending]: Request for source.

[Judge]: Affirmed.

[Fadran]: The IAU's official term for the third effect is "clearing the neighborhood." There are no official thresholds, values, or proportions to back this claim. It is a simple phrase without any clear meaning. By its definition any amount of debris in any orbit could disqualify any planet, such as a rogue asteroid or even just a speck of dust.

[Judge]: Defending?

[Defending]: Your honor, while this claim is correct, it breaks down upon further investigation. On the other end of its scale, by removing this definition, any significantly-sized, round object orbiting the sun could be defined as a planet.

[Fadran]: Request for source.

[Judge]: Affirmed.

[Defending]: Here is Wikipedia's list of objects in our solar system by size. The majority of these objects exist in an orbit around the sun. There are, approximately, dozens of these objects. Rejecting the definition of "clearing the neighborhood" would qualify most of these as planets.

[Judge]: Prosecuting?

[Fadran]: Your honor, the prosecuting wishes to cross-reference this information with this list of gravitationally-rounded objects.

[Defending]: Your honor, relevancy.

[Judge]: Affirmed.

[Fadran]: Your honor, this list provides clear information as to several very specific bodies to be considered in Hydrostatic Equilibrium. In addition to the eight current planets plus the sun and moons, there are only ten other objects listed to meet this criteria. They are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, Eris, Orcus, Salacia,Quaoar, Gonggong, Sednar.

[Judge]: Let the record show that each of these objects have adorable names.

[Defending]: Regardless, your honor, to remove the qualifier of clearing the neighborhood would be to speak out against the IAU itself in a decision made based on science that we had nothing to do with. It would violate the trust of our greatest minds and innovators. I call to cede this case to them on behalf of the Planet Earth.

[Judge]: Is this your closing argument, defending?

[Defending]: Yes.

[Judge]: Prosecuting, are you prepared to make a closing statement?

[Fadran]: Yes.

[Judge]: Continue.

[Fadran]: Your honor, the jury, and the world: Ohana means family. Ohana means no one is left behind. Pluto was once our own brother in the Solar System, and to cast him aside due to such arbitrary conditions and lackings of traits is to dishonor our names as children of the Sun and as citizens of the Milky Way Galaxy. We disservice our science, we disservice our culture, and we disservice our brother in spacetime.

Let the record show that it is no more than rank distate that disqualifies him as our sibling. It was our human misconduct that pushed aside this deformed ally, friend, and brother. We cast him away to the other belittled and forgotten dwarf planets because we were too blind to see that a brother no matter the shape or size is a brother indeed.

I call to reinstate Pluto as a planet! I call to bring our brother home! And if it means we must recognize a dozen others, them let them come! Let us open our doors, open our arms, and open our hearts to the family we have forgotten and cast aside! Is there not room enough in this Solar System for the all of us? I call to bring them home!

[Defending]: ...

[Judge]: Have you concluded your finishing statement?

[Fadran]: Yes, sir.

[Judge]: The vote is now taken to the jury.

I have no heckn idea how, but I found someone that actually does not like Brandon Sanderson's writing.

I was wearing my Cosmere necklace today as I went to my church, and one of my friends commented on how nice it looked and asked where it came from; I told her that it was a part of a universe that Sanderson made and that she should read some of his books. She then told me that she tried, but didn't like them.

As anyone would be, I was intrigued since I had yet to meet someone (until today lolll) who had read Sanderson and didn't like or at least respect him, and I asked her what books she read and why. She told me that she read Skyward and that she liked that––I told her that it was a good series, but not Cosmere, to which she seemed kinda disappointed lolll––then she told me that she read The Way of Kings and said that it was hard to get through and dense, which.. is completely fair and I can't blame her, since it also took me a couple tries to actually get through the book, so I gave her a pass on that one.

I asked her if she had read Mistborn, to which she said that she tried but didn't like it and didn't like all the "made-up swearing," she called it (I honestly don't know what else to call it, so I can't blame her; I mean,, better than actual swears imo). I dunno bout y'all, but that series (especially the first era) showed me that foreshadowing and fantasy series can actually be really heckn good and that they're not always cliché.. and also the ending of that era and the twist actually made me put the book down and literally say aloud: "I should have seen that coming."

I told her that she should give it another try, and she said no and that there were better things to read. I kinda scoffed (jokingly) and said that she was missing out on good writing, and she said no and that there was better writing.

I literally looked at her like:

I didn't say that to her, but said in a joking way that she must not like good writing, to which she retorted and said that she did; to which I shot back that she would like Mr. Sanderson's writing if she did lollll. It was meant to be a tease/joke which I do to my friends quite often, and she got it.

I do love this friend and her opinion about Sanderson doesn't change that; I just thought it would be interesting to share this story here and the thoughts that ran through my head at the time lolll.

 

But yeah. Anyways. That was a good bedtime story. Ima go do some edits on a new rp I've been working on and go to bed <3

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
I put in an order for the Warbreaker Leatherbound!!!!! 
How did this come to be?
Thanks for asking, I’ll tell you.  So I was at the Grand Canyon and then I had to go back to my Grandparents house. We got in the car and my dad said “[my name] if you don’t talk for the entire drive I will give you 100 bucks” 

See I am a very talkative person and he didn’t think I would make it ten minutes, but  I was determined. You see I really really wanted a Leatherbound. You should not come between a bibliophile and their books, besides I can be very stubborn.

8 1/2 hours later I’m 96 (long story) AUD richer. 

I wonder if you can guess what I did with that money? Was I responsible? No. Did I put it in the bank? No.vDid I donate it to our church? ( well 10 percent but no)

I bought a $159.26 book.  I’m so happy!!!!!!!!

I know I know I know I did my last SU like two minutes ago… but I forgot to put in the binder cover. And I didn’t want to wait till tomorrow. So I’ll just not do one tomorrow! 

I took the photo at a slant so as to minimize shadows.

 

WHY do I keep DOING this to myself?

I had another story idea… 

*facepalm*

BUT I SHOULD BE CONCENTRATING ON THE ONE IM TRYING TO CONCENTRATE ON

BUT… it’s so cool though…

Sorry that I've been gone for a few days. I've just been dealing with a lot of emotional baggage over a lot of crap and Christmas break gave me a good excuse to do nothing. Fortunately, it climaxed last night and I was able to cry to my Mom about everything. I'm feeling a lot better right now.

Good old emotions.
