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.

Thank You. Just thank you. Someone asking that for real for once feels just...so nice.

I'm kind of confused and anxious. My friend is extremely blunt, and I know that is just them, but it is really hard when I'm talking with them over email, and they said something that was sort patronizing, though I don't know if they ment it that way or not, and then they down right rejected my idea to zoom, and I don't know if they just feel that bad, or if they don't want to do school work (the purpose for the zoom), or if they don't want to see me. And then I told my mom because I wasn't sure what to think, and then she got upset at my friend which was NOT my intent, because I know when your not feeling well you can be grumpy and rude (I can be myself, I just am pretty much asymtomatic - my friend has been feeling pretty bad since Tuesday). And then they emailed me agian today, which signals to me that they aren't mad at me, but I sort of wish I could tell them they upset me, but I don't know how to do that over email and I can't see them in-person until Tuesday. And then, they started a new email thread, and that could be a signal they want to start over this situation and I DON'T KNOW. 

I read a quote from Edison today:  "When you have exhausted all the possibilities, remember this: you haven't." That doesn't really make me feel any better. 

I'm trying to focus on other friends now, but its really hard to put this out of my mind.

I know why pink is supposed to be the "girly" color. So a while back it actually was a color both men and women enjoyed wearing, and they dressed their children in white. But then stores figured that if parents had to get multiple things in multiple different colors for their children, they could make more money. So they sold "girls'" versions of everything in pink and "boys'" versions of them in blue. And since our brains are designed to recognize and remember patterns like this (which often creates stereotypes), this problem was created.

 

 

Also, ugh, girls don't have to play with Barbies! Has anyone ever noticed that if you go to the children's section in the clothing store, the boys have lots and lots of shirts about gaming and the girls have none? I've grown out of this section by now, but I love gaming! It's hardly fair that the girls get stuck with unicorns and mermaids and Disney princesses ALL THE TIME. Shouldn't we get a choice? Come to think of it, shouldn't the boys get a choice, too?!

 

 

Sorry that was a rant. It's just something I think about a lot.

UGH I REALLY DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT SOME STORES DON'T HAVE THE NERVE TO ADD A FEW GAMER SHIRTS IN THE GIRLS SECTION!!!! I GOT MY MINECRAFT ONES FROM THE BOY SECTION AT KOHLS!!!!!! AND THAT STINKS!!!!

@Periwinkle, I agree with you 100%!!!

so yesterday in PE I pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder/somewhere in between and it literally hurt to turn my head at all but now it's a bit better. Also do any of you believe in supernatural/paranormal stuff, like Bigfoot or skinwalkers? I sort of do, but only if there's proof like a photo that looks real or a video. I've been reading a lot about skinwalker ranch- it's a place with a ton of supposed ufo, skinwalker and other creature sightings. It's really interesting. 

Completely changing the subject I had D&D club this morning, but we were missing 2 people so we just did a side quest. Aka we burned down a tavern. Our group is very chaotic

Hiya! :)

Inkling says <<iznyb>>. 'Iz' either means 'is' or 'Iz' meaning me, as a nickname for my nickname (Izzy).... If I could figure out what what 'nyb' means, that would help.... Okay. Search up NYB and got results for New York Blower company. That doesn't help! I'm not in NY, anyways... Oh. It could aslo mean 'not your business'. Okay, she probably means, <<Izzy/Rainbow, not your business>>. Sorry, Inkling. But, yay! I figured out something that Ink said!! :D

Random vent / advice

First the vent. Does any body else feel like your all alone and like no one will ever like you. Or to be liked you have to be like every body else. But i am really diferent. I like gaming and i practice witch craft. I feel like i have to be fake to be liked.

Advice

If you feel like your art is not good enough. Well dont think that cause you can punch that voice in your head saying that in the face. (Not your self just block that voice out) Your art is good enough. you can do any thing. I hope the advice made some one feel better

 

here have an adorable ghost to screen shot and look at when ever you feel down

Hey hey hey!

I love that drawing and will dig it up when I'm feeling down :3

 

Okay so guess what: YOU'RE NOT ALL ALONE AND YOU ARE AWESOME AND AMAZING. I like gaming too! And witchcraft sounds pretty cool. Honestly? Cheesy as it sounds, just be yourself. If someone can't handle you, they aren't worth it. I know that's easier said than done, but...

That little ghost is really cute!
About the vent: YES. Definitely. Especially at camp this past year..... It didn't help that one kid actually told me that she hates me. If only humans (in general. Not talking about any of you :) ) could be more considerate and caring (to quote the girl scout pledge...)......

But, that was before I became a CBer :)

See, this is why I love the CB so much.  Everyone here is so accepting, and this website isn't well-known at all so it's like our little safe bubble, where it's okay to be whoever we are, wherever we are.
