Ok so I figured I might as well try one more time. Instead of Pathfinder however I think maybe just a DnD 5e/3.5e campaign would probably catch more people's interests. So, same as before Someone DMs and me and other people as players (or I can DM if I have to, I'm just bad at it)

I would like you to explain to me why you are not a nerd.

Because frankly, the evidence is not in your favor.

I think your definition of nerd might be askew, and so you think you aren't one.

Y'all want to know what was sooo much fun today. 

Walking to eighth period only to hear tornado sirens...

And then being stuck in a locker room with boys who were dead set on being as chaotic as possible... for an hour.

Though I was given much more information than I normally would have because eighth period is my show choir period. And as is quickly discovered, show choir children are insane. So many people were keeping very close track of the storm and tornados. One dude was even sad because when they let us go only to immediately tell us to go back he almost got outside and was close to seeing the tornados. He looked like he was near tears. I don't think he actually was but it looked that way.

Yup.

Lovely fun.

Tornados and big windy storms are the worst part of being a Nebraskan.

Petition to change the meaning of "lmfao" to "laughing my flipping arteries out". Benefits of this include:

- There aren't any cuss words anymore
- This is so much funnier than what it actually is

*GASP*

Alright, it's rant time. Subject: Super Mario Bros 2, among other names.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Would anyone be willing to start a pathfinder 2e game with me? I suck at GMing so someone else would probably have to. I could if I had to but, my storytelling abilities, especially with chaotic players, is very poor. Plus I prefer being a player.

Hello do you know Bookwyrm.

Are you one of those notorious Nebraskans?

If so, cool.

@Everyone

Wit here, if you want to ping people you think would be interested in seeing this, please do. I simply can't name all the people I am grateful for here.

I am taking a break of the shard for a bit. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone. Maybe a few weeks. Maybe longer. Maybe a few months. Maybe forever. I don’t think I will be gone forever though. I’d like to ask these things.

@Just-A-Stick, I won’t be there for the therapy rp. Act as if he just hung up randomly.

@justice magician, @Invisible, @TheRavenHasLanded, @Scars of Hathsin @RoyalBeeMage, on the Everything and Anything rp, I really want you guys to continue it. I have no claim in any random people besides Dragon. I would say that he had to spontaneously leave to check on something you don’t know about. He said he would be back shortly. Don’t let it die. Do a heist! I look forward to reading it on return. I have no other pans beyond that. Elan, I summoned you, because I hope you can return to do the One of Worlds and all that drama, as we try to lure her there.

The room. Piling is currently on the North wall, someone…never mind.

TLT, not a ton of action there right now. Yeah.

Insanity Clinic. Technically Wit is in there somewhere. Ignore that like it has been for the past months.

HG, well, mage, I appreciate you doing that with me.

The pirate one is kinda dead… Remember that httyd interest thread? Well, I did fully plan on starting that as soon as HG ended. I didn’t have any specific idea for that, but make it happen! I was going to make a planning doc though.

On the topic of planning docs, the one that JM made, the rp, unfortunately I won’t get to participate in. I will be still on the doc. Also, if there is anything new or idk, on docs, I will be active if you want to ask me something I’ll be there.

Why? Well, I was thinking. I feel like I am at the point in my life where what I spend my time on now will ultimately be my skills for the rest of my life. I’m the broad spectrum of it, the shard, while great, is not something that I can cultivate into what I want to define me. Things that I have spent my whole life and things that I feel are more substantial are what I want to focus on. The shard is great. A community of tight knit people who will never stop their support. Role plays also are technically helping me be a better writer. However, I want to focus on the real substantial things. Things that I want to be. I am also cutting a lot of my things down in my life. Anyways, I hope you guys continue in your awesomeness. Be good. Stay strong. Anything I forgot… I don’t know.

Favorite Quote: Well, that's complicated

When I made that long list of quotes, I maintained one constant. My favorite quote is this:

"Somebody has to start. Somebody has to step forward and do what is right, because it is right." -Brandon Sanderson.

But I'd like to ask Brandon if I can alter it. I actually slightly disagree with this century old notion.

"Someone has to start. Somebody has to step forward, even when it is hard. Even when all the world is against you. When the popular decision is to be with the unrighteous. When all seems to be lost, when there seems to be no hope, when you are lower that you thought anybody in the world could be. When you feel so unloved, so unknown. When you find yourself stuck in the same place, the same endless circle of sin that you thought you could make it out of. When you lack purpose. When you feel like the world has done nothing but hedge your way to what you feel in your soul to be the things of life. Somebody has to start. Somebody has to step forward and do what is right, not only because it is right, but because there is a God who knows you. Because, out there, watching and smiling at you, is a God who Loves you. Step forward and do what is right because it is the way of Him. Step forward and do what is right because it is right. Step forward. Do what is right, and carry along those who have yet to find the strength to join you. Step forward."

God be with you till we meet again.

*Gasp* you watch Hermitcraft?!

The house on the end of my block has a realtor’s sign in the yard. Whether it’s being leased or sold, I don’t know, but that’s not the point.

The point is, the top of the sign says, word for word, “Free Tacos w/ Purchase”.

QUOTE: “Oh brother, don’t you know that a trapper’s traps can trap the trapper?” 
 

A great quote, however, i decided today to take it a little further. 
 

TRAP:

More traps:

Which leads me to my real point of this update. To show off a tra— piece of prose I made. Because with two different ideas, you’d know if you got trapped what those ideas are, that contradict, you don’t want to know if you don’t already, I must ask you, don’t go back and look at the traps, if you would like to be…we’ll go find out.

One question, one sentence, one tra—: 

(I highly advise reading this as fast as you can)

Hey all. I'm back.

Soooo... I've decided to make a TTRPG based on real life. I'm going to call it Backyards and Bullies and It's going to be like Dungeons and Dragons. All the players are students and they would have different "Specialties" (Can't use classes because that might be a different thing later). There is magic but it would be more mundane (like a fire spell being a lighter). I'm having some trouble getting started so if you want you can leave suggestions.

Current Specialties are:

I'll try to answer any questions I can if I know the answer.

HI.

I'm gonna post something kind of similar to Kajsa's SU.

Also gonna be about show choir.

And the same competition.

But we go to different schools so... yeah.

First of all I saw @Kajsa's show. And she's talked it down a lot for this week. It was INCREDIBLE. If that was their vocals at like half power as she says then... Hearing them at full voice would be insane. They were awesome.

I got to watch other groups.

And then I had a panic attack and then I performed and it went pretty well. And then critique and the judge was our choreographer's wife and she was super sweet and made us all cry (in a good way).

We placed first in daytime. Which was incredible. It felt good to know that even our "bad" performances can be considered good. 

Then finals. Which was fun but also we performed at 10pm. And I pushed myself to the limit. So much so that I kind of died at the very end. But I wasn't the only one. Then I was still dying and I watched the host group. And then awards and we were the grand champs. Which was insane.

I still think that the varsity group from Kajsa's school should have won. They were amazing and I love them. I owe being in show choir to someone in that group.

I'm still drained. And I'm also sick.

Guys, I was playing this game and this happened…

Hello my fellow sharders! I'm back for now. (If anyone has threads I should participate in please let me know)

I need books/series to read. Or really any form of consumable creative media. Can I get some recommendations?

I'm doing alright. I finally got diagnosed with anxiety yaay. So now I'm medicated and it feels strange. Things are still hard, but I generally feel like I'm doing a better job of holding it together and keeping my emotional state grounded.

I think that's all I've got right now. Oh, except I did get asked out by a girl a couple months ago and that was extremely scary.

Bye?

So here I am, sitting at an airport terminal waiting for my flight, instead of being at school.

Why is that?

Almost a year ago I posted an SU about doing well at a local science fair. I was one of the medalists. Then I went to the state competition. And medaled again.

Well, because I medaled at state, I was invited to a three day conference for these winners of state science fairs across the country.

So yeah.

First time going through an airport alone; luckily this one's small. I made it, now I'm just waiting.
