    “Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry specializing in helping paranoid and homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur.”

    “Yes, but now I work for the United Nations.”

    “So your work has not changed.”

    —one of my favorite bits from Clue

      Yep! It’s a classic.

    I'm trying and failing to process a YouTube video I just watched. I saw some ringers singing and a woman whistling and grandpa in the sky screaming, and they said something that we all own Earth, and I dunno what just happened. Huh.

    Holy. Crap.

     

     

    After starting the first draft in grade SIX, finishing it in 8th and then rewriting it to work out about 11 of the pov characters and lower it to only 2 people who could reasonably be called protagonist and a year and a half of actual writing of this version,

     

     

    I finished my book.

    Aside from 3.5 glaring continuity errors that I need to fix, and like editing typos and all of that stuff.

     

    I think in the next few months its genuinely possible that it becomes available to be bought, at least online, through usage of some very generous publishers who actually accept submissions without my having an agent to contact them for me, but that will be a whole other thing that I have to do before it does.

    Most certainly will not be available in bookstores near you unless like somehow Tor gets notified or smth idk but with some of the different organizations that can be contacted online, I can probably get it at least on their respective website's store within the next...while...

     

    The Chaos Between, by [Redacted until actually available at which point it will say my name on the book] is (pretty much) done.

    Watching the Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

    And it’s so relatable. Like how?

      There’s two I know of: one with Danny Kaye that’s older and faithful to the book, and a newer one with Ben Stiller that’s a much looser adaptation (but still very good from what I’ve heard).

      I’m guessing it’s the newer one but I was curious.

    One of the worst ways to be woken up, as I have found out, is someone blasting yodeling.

    Like seriously it’s awful.

      I was once woken with a trumpet in my face. I have to admit it was very funny, once fight-or-flight subsided.

    I need a vote.

    Should I go on my High Adventure on my birthday?

    (for context, my high adventure would be a survival camp-out thing where we’re given limited gear, some scriptures, and told to go have fun and not die)

    *don’t worry, we’ll be watched over by adults, they just won’t intervene a lot* 

    But I won’t have my phone, and I won’t get to see all my friends who aren’t in my ward. So like, my only option for celebrating my birthday would be getting tossed in a lake(at least until I get back)

    Thoughts?

    Im leaning towards going on the high adventure 

    1. Slowswift

      Birthdays can be celebrated on a different date. I doubt a camping trip can be so easily rescheduled.

    As always, thank you to all of the lovely people I met here, and to this site for giving me a place to belong when I didn't really have one anywhere else.

    NEXT YEAR WILL BE A DECADE

    Ooh I don't think this will let me swear, I wonder what that word will change into.... 

    Anyways.

    You ever watch a show that makes you want to be a better person?

    That was Violet Evergarden.

      The rest of the music is just as gorgeous, IMO. Great show all around.

    This is a question for research purposes.

    To any Apple users out there: Why do you use Apple?

    1. Slowswift

      Slowswift

      I prefer the way macOS works, and I like their overall design ethos. And now that the M-series chips are out, you won't catch me using an x86 processor in a laptop ever again (still want to build a desktop, but that might not be possible for a while yet).

      For Apple Music specifically, I've been using iTunes since forever, which naturally transitioned into using AM, and I have't felt the need to switch to Spotify or one of the others.

    You are forced to give up your hands in exchange for any magic system. The only rule is you can't use the magic to get your hands back.

    What magic system do you pick?

      That one guy from Doctor Strange had pretty good luck with whatever it is they do. 

      I mean, the obvious answer is one that lets you use some form of telekinesis. 

      I actually don't think I have a specific answer to this. Not exactly satisfying, I know, but I can't think of one where the tradeoff would be worth it.

    Great news everyone!

    I've developed a caffeine addiction

    And I wasn't able to consume caffeine this morning

    I'm about this close to murdering someone

    I already know who it would be

      My blood is probably 50% caffeine at this point (Bang is my poison of choice). I really ought to do something about that but the withdrawal might actually kill me. 
       

      On the bright side, mosquitos hate me now, so 🤷‍♂️
