Anyway, just talk here, feel free to bring in AEs and CAPTCHAs. I'll begin.

How has your day been?

>MY day hasn't been the best. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO A SKI LODGE BUT I WASN'T *Glares at Writing*<

Quick question: What's a Ski Lodge?

@Tsuki A ski lodge is a role play style story in which Cber's, ae's and captcha's  can sign up to be characters and the story is posted usually once a week. One cber is the killer and the others get murdered off one by one. (Though it's typically completely PG)

My day has not been great, to be honest. I've been home sick all week, so I missed three tests and at least one quiz, so I'll have to make those up whenever I get back to school. I'm feeling much better now, but I actually just found out that I have covid. :') I had to get a test to go back to school and it came back positive. I was supposed to start my new job this weekend and now I can't do that, and I've missed like the first five rehearsals for the play, and I was supposed to go shopping for a homecoming dress this weekend, which I also can't do. My mental health is also taking a nosedive and I don't have the motivation to do anything about it, and I haven't eaten nearly enough in the past four days so I have like no energy. I am not having the best day.

On the plus side though I've gotten to sleep in a bit, and I've watched some of my favorite movies for the first time in a while. Trying to keep it positive :)

Hey ya'll! My day has been pretty good, honestly! I'm just in a good mood, I think. I went on a field trip yesterday that I had no idea I was going on (my parents didn't either so...yeah), but it was awesome. I'm actually becoming pretty good friends with E, and we got placed in the back of the line because we were late (I mean they could have told me I was going on the feild trip. That would have helped.) and we talked the entire time. The whole trip was a fail when my music teacher realized that he had forgotten his vaccination card and couldn't get into the building we were going to see (We were supposed to see some bluegrass musicians because of the bluegrass fest in our town this weekend) but, I didn't really care since I had someone to talk to. I think this was the first time I wasn't alone for a feild trip, and I so appreciated E for wanting to talk with me. It was probably one of the best days at school I've had in awhile. Oh - I've been rambling, haven't I? Back to the feild trip - It was for band in chorus (which I am in neither), but our teacher, I'll call him Mr. LB, wanted me to come anyway since I played piano. So, I qoute myself the feild trip was really for "Band, Chorus, and [Neverseen]!" 

Oh yeah, and I ran into a car's side mirror too. 

But still,  

I'm feeling preety good, how 'bout the rest of you?  

 

[(Looks at date this was posted.) Gosh, I'm late to the party aren't I?]

I'm late to this but here goes.  My day has been ok, not great.  I was sick this week and still don't feel great, school is incredibly boring, and I feel like I'm doing nothing with my life.  But on the bright side it's friday and I had a really fun art class.  My mom is out of town this weekend, leaving me, my little brother, and my dad, which means pizza, ice cream, and Marvel movies.  I'm impatiently waiting for the rest of my friendgroup to decide if they want to do a group costume for Halloween or not, because I think being Sailor Gaurdians would be really cool.  And it's ofically spooky season!

Sterling, what's your favorite Marvel movie? Mine's Ragnarok.

Ragnarok is one of my favorites too!  I also like Ant-Man, 'cause it's really funny.

My day has been fine, except for the fact that...*adopts completely fake, sarcastic, cheery tone* I hate integers!

In fact I am over here right now procrastinating on my integer homework...ugh.

@Phoenix, that is the exact same thing we are doing in my math class, and I FEEL YOUR PAIN. I mean, nobody rates lasagna with negative integers! Nobody! How is that a real life example! Just use 1-10 scale! It would be so much easier! But of course, we have to use negative numbers! Of course! 

(My friend E got so worked up about this problem, he accidently cursed yelling about it  - nerds for ya, I guess. Good thing nobody was listening to us.)

But yes, if you need anybody to sympatize with math woes, I'm your gal.

 

 

Here is a quote to cheer you up from math class last year: 

 

"Math has been thrown on the ground, doused in gasoline, lit on fire with a match, oh, and, I put its ashes in a wood chipper which is in space."

Urgh, integers are THE WORST! Give me a knife so I can stab them so they don't exist anymore!!!!! :P.).

Like they quote, Neverseen! It really would solve a lot of problems. (Oh. no pun intended.)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not math!!!!!!!!

Ugh, math is the worst.  And math problems are stupid.  My classmate once got one on IXL that said, "Steve drives 14 hours to work everyday."  Uh, excuse me?  Not possible, sorry.

Math drives me absolutely crazy.  One of my best friends in the world loves it.

How???

Has anyone recently heard about the oil spill in California? It happened right at the beach I live at. I mean RIGHT there. The worst part is that so many animals are dying, and it's going to take a while to clean up. I mean months, with lasting results. It's... so sad. There are endangered species in the water where it spilled, and it's washing up into the wetlands.

Yes, I was so sorry to hear about the spill. It's so sad, but there are rescue workers helping all the animals they can.

I read about that in my news magazine! (Not Cricket, although I wish a floating island in the sky was real news 'cause I'd totally go there...) it's very sad! But I heard they have a few techniques to keep oil from spreading. Apparently, Earth Day was inspired by an oil spill! I hope that it gets better soon :(
