  1. I have like two irl friends, so barely :] TPBM has more than 100 books on their bookshelf.
  2. MERRY CHRISTMAS

    1. Mags

      Marry christmas!

  3. Tolkien is peak. TPBM has read The First Law.
  4. Nope. TPBM backed the leatherbound Words of Radiance.
  5. Granted. It is upside down. I wish for the Dragonsteel leatherbounds of The Wheel of Time.
  6. I finally decided what I'm getting my girlfriend for Christmas.

    Spoiler

    Hadestown is coming to Omaha

    So I'm getting us tickets

     

     

  7. Teach him the joys of reading
  8. Yep. TPBM is disappointed that Astro Bot won GotY.
  9. Only for a bit longer. TPBM has played Elden Ring.
  10. Working out while listening to Elden Ring boss fight themes is peak.

  11. My longest work to date is around 38,000 words, and only around a quarter done. I'm aiming for 150-200k.
  12. So.

    Um.

    It's true that you'll learn new things about yourself when you're in a relationship.

    I updated the aforementioned Doc, btw. Interesting writing pun.

  13. I just realized that the link I put in my last SU is for the incomplete version of the story. I'll fix it when I get home from class.

  14. Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've given a life update, so here's one before the year wraps up.

    My classes went… well. I did end up eventually dropping the English class, since the instructor was just terrible. I passed my accounting class and my history class with a C and a B, respectively. Next quarter, which starts tomorrow, I'll be taking Accounting 1110 and History World Civ. 1500-Present with the same instructors as last quarter. I need better study habits, so if any of you have any tips, they'd be welcome!

    I still haven't found a more permanent job. I quit my position at HyVee in April, maybe May, and couldn't find a job all summer. I ended up working at a place here in Nebraska called Vala's Pumpkin Patch, which is a seasonal, farming/Halloween themed park. They're only open September-October, but I worked the whole of those months and made not a small amount of money. For me. So, I need to find a part-time job. Maybe since I'm majoring in accounting, I'll see if any banks near me are hiring.

    Hyperion was a wash, unfortunately. I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't get into it. Nothing was happening. The world was great, but the book was boring. I knew it was a slow book, but it was too slow for. So I've moved on to the next book in my 2024 reading list, The Great Hunt. It'll be a reread. I've already read WoT once through.

    I haven't done a ton of writing, either. Bloodlines, my main book, has been collecting dust for a month or two and I've only written a few small short stories. One thing that I am proud of is a little thing I wrote from a prompt Eddie gave us in an SU about a month before she left. The prompt was "That's the difference." I finished it, and it can be found here! You can leave comments, if you'd like. Feedback is very welcome.

    My girlfriend and I are still together!! It's been over a year since we started dating, and I love her more than anything. We've talked a little bit about getting married, but since I've only just started college, we decided that that'll be something we think about more once we're able to have good jobs and support a family.

    I've been playing Dark Souls a ton. It is the best game I've played in a long time. If you don't mind dying (a lot), then I highly recommend it. The vibes are immaculate.

    That's about it, I think. Goodbye, my friends. And don't you dare go Hollow!

      Vala's was fun! I got a discount on everything and a bunch of free meals. They pay well and the hours are good, so it was a nice place to work. My coworkers were nice, so that was a bonus.

    3. kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ

      kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ

      that sounds awesome!! i've been thinking about working there next year. 

  15. Granted. He is now a terrierist. I wish for all cars to have 4WD.

      ...Huh.

      Maybe there's somehow a little bit of Minecraft. I wouldn't know. My brain is mostly going spaaaaaaaaace

      It's part of the Eagle Nebula, iirc. Same part of space that the Pillars of Creation are in

      We love the Pillars of Creation.

  18. Is it a weird ask to not VC with people I don't know personally?

    1. kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ

      kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ

      lol if “VC” means video call then nope it’s most definitely not a weird ask

      It's voice chat, if that makes a difference

    3. kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ

      kajsa ㅇㅅㅇ

      mmmm……. still. i think it’s perfectly reasonable for you to not want to.

      Fingon was such an icon I love the guy

  20. My dad and I were talking last night about how it's been a while since Omaha had a good rain, and now it's pouring outside.

    1. The Bookwyrm

      Same down here.

      Yesterday was super nice and warm, so I guess it was the calm before the storm.

      I like rainy days though. They make me feel cozy for some reason. Or maybe it's me being nostalgic for when I lived in Michigan.

      I HEARD THE THUNDER DURING CHOIR AND WE ALL JUST WENT SILENT FOR A MOMENT OF APPRECIATION

      🥲

      We heard the thunder in choir and then my director used it as an analogy to how he wanted us to sound because we all got distracted.

  21. Happy birthday, Lord Ruler!

  22. Why are Marie Callender chicken pot pies so storming hard to open. I just want my food, thank you very much.

      If it's a pot pie, it doesn't matter; it will be worth it once you have it.

  23. Soulslikes are a genre of games drawing inspiration and mechanics from FromSoftware's Dark Souls games. Usually, a Soulslike is very difficult, has an easy-to-learn but hard to master combat system, relies on environmental storytelling, and a checkpoint system where you respawn, level up, repair equipment, and other things depending on the game.
