Don't we all?

And even with general geographic terms it all depends on where you're from. (We talked about this in my Human Geography class- perceptual regions. Quite an interesting subject.) I was going to describe how I see regions but it's easier to use Paint. (See attachment.) Basically like that, though there's several more, not to mention regions that overlap ("east coast", "west coast", etc) and ones that change slightly depending on the situation ("midwest", "south", etc). Basically, the United States are very large.

I've started saying "y'all." The assimilation has begun.

Internet problems: Cons: Can't access online notes for essay, can't Shard, can't email. Pros: This little game.

Yay! That is one beauteous shrimp(?).

Which would, of course, be very hard.

If you're still there, you can always PM me or something. I'm on half of always, and I'll talk about anything.

Once I was eating cereal out of a cup and thought the cereal on the bottom got too soggy and inaccessible, so I decided there should be a dish that was like a cup turned on its side, with a hole in the top and... I'd invented the bowl. Not necessarily a bad idea, but a weird thought process.

They could be hemalurgic spikes... but then they wouldn't exactly be able to write anything again...

Why are we not speaking of our preparations for the newest book that comes out in- may I remind you- less than a month? I, for one, shall wear my finest hat.

Shh... Don't spoil Morzathoth's creative process.

Little kid wandering around with a fishbowl on his head pretending he's an astronaut. Make it creepy. Go.

Tell me about it. I've got school starting Monday, and I've been staying up until about four lately. I get up at five thirty on school days.This is not an ideal arrangement, let me tell you that.

Ouch. If it's any consolation, I've got an essay for English.

LARK! I've been waiting for you to come back! I have something for you.

The crystals have to be powdered for magic to be accessible by people, but they exude a weak kind of magic aura (not to be confused with Aura the alchemist) when whole.There's a fair number of alchemists, but most of them don't really experiment. It's just a job, and they just do what they're ordered to and take the rest of their time off. Aura's an oddball, and the powders are her life. The general public aren't really supposed to know the magic's workings. The magic is monopolized by the church, and people that are the equivalent of priests make a show of being able to heal people, make crops grow, etc. The public knows that it exists, sort of, but they believe it to be a thing that can only be used by these priests. One of the big problems is the fact that people started to use the crystals for decoration, especially nobility. Crystals can be purchased if you're ridiculously wealthy (and, usually, aware of their magicness). Usually they'll decorate using the purple crystals, which are very rare and almost entirely useless, as a display that they are so wealthy they can afford to buy useless magic. Others buy the powders that can be used as a protection against danger. The problem is that magical aura, which can seriously mess you up- depending on which color, of course. Take blue powder, which can cause paralysis. The real problems come when ignorant people start decorating wells with crystals. I like the magic ecological fallout idea. I mean, it's be terrible, but good for the plot.

My magic system was pretty much done, but then I started seeing hole after hole in its workings and stuff and now I basically have to rebuild it from the base premise up. The interesting thing with it, though, is that I have a helper: Aura (see avatar). She works with the magic for a living (they call them alchemists), and she experiments with it a ton. (Well, she doesn't exactly use the magic, that's a different job entirely. But I digress.) I can run things by her or ask her to perform a certain experiment, and if she's in a good mood and not too busy she'll help. Kobold, you did remind me of something I was thinking over a while ago. The magic is based on crystals, which grind into powder. That can dissolve into groundwater and water sources, thereby getting into crops and drinking water. Now I have to figure out what this does...

I saw one for a song called where a repeating phrase is "undo this storm."Control+z this storm.

My patronus would be... uh... Donna Noble? I quite nearly quoted her just now. I was hugging my bros goodnight (with much protesting) and they are too skinny. "You go to give him a hug, you get a papercut!"

*sits down**bares teeth and aggressively grabs a piece of scratch paper* *grabs pencil* *cracks knuckles* Let's do this thing!

Honor Spren, your resolution is to expand your repertoire of ponified Cosmere characters Edit: Ninja'd! Kaymyth, your resolution is to share some more of your epic cosplay costumes with us.

But the climate is very similar to that of Ireland and the American northwest.

And I still can't quite nail down the plot of my main project. Or magic system, which I will be attempting to retool.I have no idea how the plot or magic will work, yet I can tell you the climate and fauna for each region in the setting. I do interesting things when avoiding facing writer's block.

Yay! We can be stick shirt buddies!
