Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

Have you ever wanted to text your friend and then realize they don't have a phone in the first place? I have. WHY does my classmate have to be 17 months younger than me? 

And THAT is the 21st century, Covid times addition! 

I guess in the olden days people just gave each other addresses. It would have taken FOREVER to find out if you had a test or not..

Any how, [Insert younger friends name here] GET A PHONE!

I'm like, vaguely annoyed, because feedback from my speech tournament just came out, and one judge gave me a zero out of a hundred in informative, but still ranked me fourth, and it's not even just harsh grading; they gave me a 70 in humorous interprative, and ranked me last.

What??

I could've gone to informative finals if I didn't get that zero qwq wHY? *sobs* There was literally no reason for them to give me a zero they even said my speech was good *runs away crying dramatically*.

Ok so even though I consider myself a writer I struggle a lot with actually writing anything with an actual plot, as some of you may have heard me rant about. So I found this writing contest that I could enter for free and there's really nothing for me to lose, but I really can't think of anything to write, which is so annoying. Ugh. Why won't my brain just workkkkkk???

Oh, this is SUCH a mood, I've had this problem for a long time (and it's why I like poetry, it doesnt really need a plot). But I'm taking a creative writing class this year, and what I've learned about plot is that you just have to... do it. Do what the characters, or what you, are scared of. For example, the main character is scared their best friend will betray them? Just make the friend betray them. This will bring a reaction out of the character that will be interesting to watch, and propel the story forward. And having something a character is scared of happen will mean they have to learn to deal with this, helping create character development. The main character should also be making decisions and propelling the story themself as well. And for basic inspiration, I find being in nature and people-watching help :D

[I'm not an expert or anything close, but this has at least helped me produce something decent.

Thanks Azalea! Your advice actually makes a lot of sense, and I'll try to use it the next time I have a plot to work with lol. I feel like I have so many ideas but whenever I try to form just doesn't form, you know? I'll try, though :)))

Everyone on the CB has their own life, own friends, own home. They are real, physical people. Some of the first CBers might be adults with kids already.

Just let that sink in.

I have heard the song Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by Wheezer Three Times today. Twice in the car, once on on my playlist. 

Is somebody trying to send me a message...?

"think think think, think think think think..."

and I don't know whether life is truth or life is light or life is JUST LIFE, FOLKS, WITH PINE TREES INVOLVED.
