Mistrunner

I've never thought of evil thank you "I am known as enormously evil. Take that, Happy Hannah."

Getting to know you games. Specifically, "let's all say our names and an adjective that starts with the same letter!!!!!!!" Do you know how many adjectives start with E? I am neither excited nor energetic. I've tried 'enigmatic' but nobody knew what that meant. I'm not exactly eccentric, and I'm definitely not extraverted. I'm left panicking in a circle of Happy Hannahs and Kind Kaylas as I desperately search for a vaguely applicable adjective that people will know the definition of.

Mistrunner wakes up. "SnsdklsgAAAA," she says coherently, realizing how much time has passed. @Cluny the Scourge, of course you can add it to your signature! The Knights Awkward pass up no opportunities for self-advertising. Welcome, @Tesh Kholin and Cluny. Please enjoy some complimentary bookies.

I'm a bit late, but may I?

aaaAAAAAAAAHHH CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO

I got a haircut!

The Tiffany Aching books are some of my favorites! I'll say the same for them- they really got me to start looking at the world around me. Not to mention the fact that they're hilarious.

Excuse me while I go search them up.

I never knew I needed this in my life until now.

Thanks Slowswift! (Man, somebody needs to invent Baymax stat. I need him in my life.) I haven't laughed this hard since the Dark Lord came to power, thank you Twi And pugs are always appreciated. . Edit: I just realized it sounds like I'm taking about Trump when I say "dark lord." Rest assured I'm not making fun of political leaders, I'm just strange.

On the subject of the musical, I haven't seen it, but I know generally what it's about. In my opinion, it's always good to be able to make fun of yourself. You can't ever take things too seriously. However, I'm not a huge fan of the musical. A lot of people already have a lot of misconceptions about the Mormon faith, and the musical isn't helping. Some of the humor in it I actually find funny, but a lot of it comes too close to being actually mean-spirited, or, perhaps more accurately, condescending for comfort. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. As for whether or not it's offensive, that's really no question. The musical itself has almost used that as a selling point. Honestly, in my opinion and based on what I know you'll get better "making fun of Mormons" content from Mormons themselves. We have much more experience in that area, and we'd like it done right.

I'm... not really doing too well right now. Hugs would be appreciated.

"We're alive!" Mistrunner shouts. "We just sometimes go on snazzy quests with no real purpose or sleep for indeterminate periods of time."

Well, Camp NaNo is coming up fairly soon...

Well, even a $100 scholarship is $100 less to earn, so $20,000 is pretty fabulous. Congrats!

Mistrunner nervously nods, remembering the horribly cringy posts she used to make. "Exercise caution," she warns.

Success.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm going to follow my stupid dreams and if that means ending up sitting on a street corner reciting sad poetry and playing melancholy tuba music for money, so be it. Hugs!

Mistrunner reflexively grabs the fire extinguisher.

If you want examples of weirdness, I'd point you in the general direction of the entire Oregon RP.

Can I join your England/Denmark group? I, too, am a delicious pastry. (Get it? Danish? I'll show myself out.) I have a lot of Viking blood as well. You can really tell by the aggressive way I eat corn chips.

I'm not feeling great about the future. I'm getting to the point where I have to think seriously about college and what my major will be and career choices and GPA and whatnot and besides it being overwhelming it's kind of scary. I know what I'd like to do, in an ideal world, but it doesn't pay well and I don't think I'll be able to get to the skill level I need to be at within the one year I have before I need to apply. I honestly don't think I have the capacity to do much anything else, though, which is the problem. I have one sort of backup, which is also a major that doesn't pay and would lead inevitably to teaching high school students who don't care a lick. I don't want to be stuck for the rest of my life doing something I don't enjoy. I also don't want to dedicate myself to trying for this goal I have when I doubt I can get there in time. It seems like there's no way to win. I don't know. I'm just stuck in a constant war inside my head between "be practical" and "but what if you can".
