  1. Just had a band concert tonight. It went pretty well, if I do say so myself. Except the SCUDDING 2ND TRUMPETS CAME IN EARLY (I play 1st trumpet).

    I had a solo in an arrangement of "You've Got a Friend in Me," so that was fun. I also played a good arrangement of "Beauty and the Beast" which was interesting.

    All in all, it was a pretty good concert.

  2. I'm curious if anyone will actually see this.

    Well, I guess we'll see.

    So I'm taking an art class right now that requires us to make trading cards, and I really wanted to do something either Mistborn or Stormlight-esque. I have to make two cards, so they'd either be focused on Ruin and Preservation or two of the ten Radiant Orders.

    What would y'all rather see? And if you'd like to see the Stormlight designs, which Orders do you think I should use?

    Edit: So this is actually like a "should I do this or this" kind of thing so I'm asking for a decision from y'all. Lol thanks.

      Personally, I think Ruin and Preservation would be really interesting just to show their opposing Intents. That’s just me though, the Radiants could also be cool.

    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 hymn: A Poor Wafering Man of Grief

    Favorite scripture: D+C 122: 7-9

    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.

      HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS.

      Bye, Wit. I wish you the best in the world.

  4. Happy birthday! (I don’t expect anything back)

    1. The Honorable One

      The Honorable One

      Much appreciated.

  5. Sharders, I don't like it when people give me birthday gifts. Because if someone gives you a present for your birthday, then you are legally obligated to return the gesture as well when theirs comes around. Don't get me wrong, my friends are amazing and I love them, but... I don't want to give them a present. Same with birthday parties. Sure, I guess I'll come to your party, but don't expect an invite to mine. Mostly because I won't have one, but still.

    Maybe I'm just being weird.

    In other news, I got Arcanum Unbounded for my birthday, which is a fine addition to my collection. Now I'm only missing three Wax and Wayne books and Dawnshard, then my cosmere collection will be complete.

      Canada... did not make it to regionals. I didn't actually ever see his project, but I'm surprised he didn't make it.

      Yeah. But now the family legacy is secure --- both of my older siblings also went to state in the same competition.

  9. I have an important competition tomorrow. I would really like to do well, so... wish me luck.

    1. The Honorable One

      The Honorable One

      My face-face with the judges went decently well, I would say. But the other people I was competing against also said the same, so it will probably come down to the project itself.

      The judges finished making their decisions of who goes to state yesterday at the end of the school day, but I and a fair amount of other people who were competing had to leave early for a band concert, so they couldn't announce the winners without them being there. So I'll find out today. At the end of the school day.

      In other news, my band concert went well!

      And no, I didn't break any bones.

      Thank you everyone! I am now going on to regionals which is tomorrow, so I’ll update you then about whether I go to state! I’ll try to break my legs tomorrow too!

  11. Sometimes, I worry I'm not the person everyone thinks I am.

    My friends all assure me that I'm being silly, that they know I'm a great person. But I still wonder if they are wrong. So many people think me smart, and funny, and nice. They say I do great things. What would they think if they knew that he -- the good, reliable friend -- doubted himself?

    Perhaps they wouldn't be shocked at all. In a way, this is what worries me most. Maybe, in their hearts, they wonder -- just as I do.

    When they see me, do they see a liar?

  12. Hey guys, I’m sort of freaking out. I just learned that I have to play a trumpet solo in less than an hour. So… if I never post again, you’ll know why.

    1. The Honorable One

      The Honorable One

      Hi everyone! I survived. I think it went pretty well for me only seeing the solo for the first time two hours before the performance. So… yeah.

  13. I really need to finish a paper for school, but I can’t write the conclusion. I keep getting distracted and keep on avoiding working on it. It’s a problem. But I am so close to being done. I just can’t write anymore for some reason.

    I don’t know what any of you can do, so I dunno why I’m even posting this. Just… shout at me to finish it, or something.

      Thank you.

      What can I say more?

  17. I'm happy. My piano recital last night was a huge success. The only thing that went wrong was that my six pages of music didn't fit on the music desk. I had the first page memorized, so I just threw that away, but I had to prop up my last page on a plant. Hooray. But I played "I Saw Three Ships" really well, and everyone loved it.

    After that, my parents did this cool Sleigh Ride duet, so I sat in the very back of the audience with a slapstick, then made everyone jump and turn around when I hit it. That was funny.

      Oh, sorry, I wasn’t able to get a recording. I might be able to get a different video, but probably not until after Christmas.

  18. I have a piano recital tonight. I’m really nervous, because at my pre-recital I messed up really badly.

    I’m playing I Saw Three Ships by the Piano Guys on piano, as well as We Wish You a Merry Christmas on pianica. Also, I’m accompanying my mom and dad, who are playing a sleigh ride duet, by doing slapstick and sleigh bells.

    I’m probably doing too many things.

    1. The Honorable One

      The Honorable One

      I probably won’t be able to put a recording up, but it’s not impossible.

      Thanks! I’ll certainly do my best.

  19. I've been waiting to say this for weeks:

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING, YOU AMERICANS!

    Yes, I know it's not until tomorrow. No, I don't care.

    Er... that's all, folks.

    1. The Honorable One

      It’s American thanksgiving. Canadian Thanksgiving was Monday October 9. Today is a normal day for Canadians.

  20. Hello everyone! I figured out how to do this.

    Today I played the piano in front of about 500 people. It was... very interesting to say the least.

    1. The Honorable One

      The Honorable One

      Thanks everyone! I guess I should provide more information. I played an arrangement of Toccata and Fugue at a Halloween-ish festival thing. But the thing was, the Halloween festival was just a roam-around thing. So my music drew a large crowd (I don't know if it was quite 500 people looking back on it, but it was still a lot.) It was both the most exhilarating and terrifying thing I've ever experienced.

      @The Wandering Wizard The song is called Poor Wayfaring Stranger. And yes, the kittens are adorable.

    It's pretty good.

      Yeah, Minecraft on mobile is impossible. Everybody who does that has my respect.
