  1. She knelt down next to him and started trying to weed.
  2. Think he was described as short with black hair. Sazed described his corpse in the pre-chapter bits in Hero of Ages, and pretty sure Kell describes him in Secret History at least once.
  3. Last night at youth group, I had a philosophical realization.

    We will never live to see tomorrow. 

    That sounds like a threat, but I mean the concept of tomorrow. Think about it.

    You can get very close to tomorrow - 11:59:59 or 23:59:59. But as soon as it hits midnight, it's not tomorrow. It's today.

    I told my friend this and she said, "Time zones. You stand on the border of them and reach your hand over to the other time zone. Boom. You touch tomorrow."

    And, yeah, she's right. But she didn't have to ruin my internal musing.

      You can just go up to people and say: "I'm sorry, but you'll never live to see tomorrow." And be right.

      Something popped up on my Pinterest feed last night. This is as it's written:

      when it aches
      i quietly tell myself
      that we will talk tomorrow.
      i know tomorrow never comes.
      but it gets me through today.
      and i have a lifetime
      of todays to go.

  4. It started out like the original Beauty and the Beast movie except Belle looked like a mix of a sousaphone and the bill from Schoolhouse Rock. I went into the woods and the woods were on fire. I found a sword in the woods and when I stabbed the ground with it, a well of burgers/chips/canned sodas sprang up. I found my way to a kingdom in the middle of the woods, befriended the princess, and saved the kingdom from its famine and drought with the sword. I figured I should give the sword to the kingdom to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again, so I went to the kingdom gift shop, which is where the kingdom secretary worked. I gave the sword to the secretary and to my right, the king emerged from a shadowy cubbyhole with twin katanas. I backed away and ran to a mall in my town. By the time I got to the mall, the king himself wasn't chasing me anymore - he'd hired Beyoncé to hunt me down. I ran around the mall and bought a disguise. I barged into a store with a makeup chair in the window (there is not actually one of these in the mall) and I yelled, "Beyoncé is trying to kill me!" There were about five or six other people in the store, and all of them tried to help me. I was in the chair getting my makeup done with another woman next to me when Beyoncé and two of her backup dancers came into the store. One of the BDs went to the back of the store to look for me, while Beyoncé and the other BD walked over to me and this other lady. They didn't recognize me, but they said to us, "We don't like your names, so we're going to change them." They did this weird and creepy dance ritual thing, and got a really long and convoluted name for the other lady. They tried to do it for me too, but it didn't work, so Beyoncé turned to BD1 and said, "Put your playlist on shuffle." BD1 did, and the first song played was "All the Single Ladies" (a Beyoncé song). The two started doing the dance, and I did too to blend in. For a couple minutes, I had infiltrated the group. I started to run away after those two minutes. As I ran, I noticed a line. I turned around to see what the line was for, and it was for a Star Wars rollercoaster. Now, I like Star Wars, and I've never been on a rollercoaster, so I got in line to get on it. At one point, I walked right by Beyoncé and she didn't see me. As I approached the front of the line, I thought, "Wait a minute- Star Wars is owned by Disney. Disney is woke. I don't want a woke company to have my money!" So I got out of the line and walked over to two escalators. Then, sadly, I woke up. I really wish I knew how that dream ended...

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

    Spoiler

    Okay, I might actually hate that Nintendo did this. So, y'all are familiar with Super Mario Bros 2 for NES (released in 1988), right? Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but YOU WERE LIED TO.

    That game WASN'T meant to be the sequel to Super Mario Bros (released on NES in 1985).

    The game intended to be the sequel was SMB: The Lost Levels. The Lost Levels was released in Japan in 1986, and it was so hard that it wasn't released in America (at least until Super Mario All Stars for SNES Classic, which wasn't released until 2020 (imagine 2020 is capsed there for yelling). (Future Spark here, I did a bit more research and another source says 1993, which is better, but still the point stands.)

    "But Spark, there is a SMB2!"

    Is there?

    SMB2 was never meant to be SMB2. Nintendo just changed the sprites from characters of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME to Mario sprites.

    The original game was called Doki Doki Panic, and it was released in Japan in 1987. The characters from that game were all replaced with Mario sprites and released in America as SMB2. It was released in Japan as Super Mario USA in 1992. Apparently, Nintendo thought they "wouldn't notice" that it was the exact same as a game they'd released six years before. This is also why the game is so DRASTICALLY different from every other early Mario game.

    I can imagine the board room meeting. 
    NinCEO: Okay, we need to do something for a sequel to SMB.
    NinWorker: We have this ready. *holds up Lost Levels*
    NinCEO: No. The Americans are too stupid, we can't release this to them.
    NinWorkerWhoWonClassClownInHighSchool: Ya know what would be funny.

    I mean come on Nintendo. We're supposed to be the lazy ones. It's your job to program games. So why don't you get your head in it.

    AND ANOTHER THING.

    Many of the enemies that originated in SMB2 ARE STILL PART OF MARIO LORE! Shy Guy, Birdo, Mouser in the Super Mario Bros Super Show, the spiky cactus things - THOSE ARE ALL FROM DOKI DOKI PANIC. EVERYTHING IS RUINED NOW THANKS TO LATE 80S NINTENDO

    Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

  17. She frowned, wrapped one of his arms over her shoulders, and started to lug him inside.
  18. She put her hand on her mouth and groaned. "Well, there's our answer, I guess."
  19. She kissed his forehead when it happened, and she sighed. “I’ll be right back.” She went downstairs to see what had happened.
  20. She played with his hair a bit, and the flat part of her nails gently grazed across his forehead at times.
  21. She nodded. She looked around the room, eyebrows scrunched. "Huh. It doesn't look like Jar Man came back." She nodded her head to the side. "Or he got locked out because we were all asleep."
  22. Ave turned and smiled at her. "So much for trying not to wake you," she joked.
