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.

My family went to an estate sale today and they had an organ.
When I sat down and just started playing, all of the people just stared- I guess its not everyday you find a teen whos obsessed with playing the pipe organ.
Does anyone here play, prechance?

Pipe organ squad, assemble! *air punch*

Oh, that's so cool! I don't play (I play viola and violin), but I think the organ is awesome. Have you listened to JS Bach's cantata Geist und Seele? It's awesome and has some great organ parts, especially in the first Concerto. It's especially good (in my opinion) if you find the version played by the Netherlands Bach Society, which you can look up and find on the internet. What are you playing right now?

I do, in fact. Not exactly a pro, I kind of suck at using the pedals. I also always end up playing "Take me out to the ball game" when I should be practicing.

*runs into the room*
*slams door* *locks it*
*sprays wasp repellent everywhere*
I killed a wasp.
then, I remembered that dead wasps emit a smell that attracts the other wasps.
me, my brother, and friend ran into my friend's room.
THERE WAS A REAL LIVE WASP. ON HIS CARPET.
then, running away, some kind of flying thing smacked into my wrist.
I'M BEING HAUNTED

I have seating hearings in a week... and they just sent out the excerpts about 1 or 2 weeks ago... and I have to prepare both viola and violin because I still don't know what they're putting me on... and I still have some parts of my solo that need polishing... but I'm fiiiiine (???).

Remember about a year ago, when everyone was superrrrr obsessed with She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and everyone was talking about it on the CB and how much they loved it?
(August 21, 2022 - 9:00 am)
SHE-RA YES I missed the time where everyone was talking about it so I am MORE than happy to talk about it now
and honestly? i kinda agree with you. it's weird bc i usually love the fan favorite character because i'm basic like that, but not in this case?? not about the cat part of her being weird-- to my understanding, the horde gets a lot of their recruits by taking over towns and kidnapping children! yay. a lot of the species in she ra are like animal anthros and stuff, so it stands to reason she comes from a race of cat-people. and all the names in she ra are like that so it makes sense. but
[major spoilers for s5 for anyone who hasn't watched it yet. i haven't watched it yet, but the memes i spend hours scrolling thru spoiled it for me]
i love she ra. it's one of my favorite shows of all time. However, i think the creators low key did a terrible job handling their villains....
catra had potential. she was a layered character who suffered because of what the horde had done to her. watching her i really wanted her to be redeemed and finally find peace but.. i don't think the show ever actually achieved that. i watched the first few eps of season five but i haven't got to the kiss yet, but as far as i can tell catra had that existential crisis on the ship and sacrificed herself for glimmer and adora- her one good thing she wanted to do in her life. but then she was rescued and went back to her old angry self, acting like adora was the one who'd done something wrong. she yelled at adora, at entrapta, at glimmer, each characters she tried to KILL. sure there where her "soft moments," but that was mostly her trying to elicit pity from the best friends squad, yknow? but adora thought she was hot and now she's redeemed, without ever fixing what she'd done, never making peace with herself, never allowing herself to be vulnerable. and i wanted catra and adora to be together, but not like that.
the other villain redemptions weren't done awesomely either. there was suspicion around shadow weaver when she came to bright moon but for the most part she was allowed to do as she pleased. i've heard she sacrificed herself for their sake but i haven't gotten to that part so...
she was never good. she and hordak were the whole REASON catra-- and the world-- was so broken. she never cared for anyone on Etheria, she never wanted to help Micah, or help Hordak, or help Adora. she was pure evil. which sucked because there were moments i really liked her.
I legit LOVE hordak, he's SO amazing but again never really got redeemed or whatever. I love Entrapdak sm it's soooo great but if this were reality hordak could never be forgiven for what he'd done. Ever.
i love scorpia and entrapta sm. they're the best. scorpia was forgiven easily and deserved it. precious pure-hearted cinnamon roll she was. entrapta similarly, but i don't thing she ever got to the realization that what she'd done hurt so many people. she never really knew or understood, which i which was something she could've. still i love her and she ra
sorry admins and peri for such a long post! also hi everyone, how've y'all been

@Darkling i feel you. school is so nerve-racking. for some reason i'm allowing myself to get rather excited about this year even though i know reality is gonna kick in the moment the school year starts
@Writing happy birthday!:D i hope it was as awesome as you are
@Whoever posted about being thought a ghost-- sorry i can't remember which human you are and i can't find the post again, but that's legit amazing
[rant incoming whoa it s actually super long really sorry guys prob shoulda put this in the confession thread instead of invading this one with a block of text but haha still typing and hitting enter for some reason! sorry]
these last few years, my parents haven't bought my a halloween costume which is fair, and i'm super broke so i cant so i end up putting something stupid together out of clothes i have in my closet. last year i wore my grandmas old clothes and called myself a fifties person bc yes. the year before that i wanted to be katara so my brother took a white t-shirt and sharpies blue all over it and scribbled the water single on it in black which is frankly adorable and i wanted to wear it for him but cmon i really did not want people my age to see me in that.
this year, i was thinking- what if i made my own? i'm trying to get into high school for an art school and i've seen the art of people in the school- they are amazing. not just like "great for a 14 year old" but like actual masterpieces better than what you can find in a meauseum. the requirements to even audition are hardcore and require like a lot of different mediums. so if i made something i could wear, a costume (there's a class for that in high school it would be AMAZING) it would be great for my chances, especially since though id like to believe i'm good at art i absolutely suck at it.
so i took a few screenshots of the thirty seconds of preview content of terry the earth blood elf (he's the best even though that's all id seen of him) and tried to figure out how that worked when reality set in.
ive never sewn a thing in my entire life, i have no money for any materials and i cannot make or get any, id have no idea where to even start on this and let's be honest id be too lazy to ever do anything even if i could! been trying to work on my portfolio for three months and haven't even found the motivation to finish a single piece. awesome. plus, i actually ended up getting into their ms art progra, and i've been looking at the drawings i thought were good from that time. ii guess the excuse i made for myself was "good for a 10 year old," and i really wanted to be good at art so i decided i was. but i wasn't and i'm not and i'm too lazy to improve! so there goes my future woooo
again really sorry for the length and pointlessness and i probably should just delete this entire thing! that would be way better for all of this! yet i'm inserting the captcha! sorry guys! shoulda stuck this in the confession thread but copy pasting on my phone is hard so! sorry!

Slightly hard to follow... and rather long... but YES MAKE YOUR OWN COSTUME IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME. And its okay if it sucks (WHICH IT WON'T), that's half the fun! I was a goose one year with a homemade beachball-covered-in-white-fabric butt-thing (everyone laughed but it was kinda funny and I don't blame them). My point is, even if it's ridiculous and mortifying and you're walking around school with a giant white beach-ball-butt, it's still worth it! Besides, now I have a bunch of embarreasing photos...
And good luck with art school! I really hope you get in. You're art probably doesn't suck (I mean I've never seen it but I have this thing called GOOD FAITH IN OTHER PEOPLE (not in me (is it possible to have parentheses in parentheses and parentheses in the parentheses in the parentheses? in case it wasn't here they are, (or if it was, here they are anyway. yay four pairs I've never done this before and I'm probably hopelessly confusing you) but this is really random so)) I bet you can't even remember what the first parentheses was about by now haha) Anyway. Good luck and you should make your own costume!
