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.

Just some thoughts on life, I'm feeling the psychologist inside me suddenly.
I used to be normal, like plain normal and content with life, until I heard of one of my friends go into hospital when he got too depressed over his world. It really struck me then, how can someone I know become so dissapointed in life?
And I decided to try to make myself happier. I posted corny jokes on my bedposts to read whenever I woke up, hid comic books in textbooks, and posed taking notes in class when I was actually writing stories.(every once in a while, that is. I need grades, after all.) Not that I want to encorage rule-breaking or anything, but it felt really satisfing when my math teacher couldn't do a thing about the calculator which kept beeping letters of the the alphabet whenever I tapped a button. Then I tried to see if I could make others smile. I made puns during recess, cartweeled my way through the gym at P.E., and brought a oversized balloon dog over to the teacher's lounge at christmas. They laughed. I laughed. It felt good! Really. As long as it won't get in other people's ways, I really do recommend actively trying to make others laugh.
Now I'm back on the CB, I'll try it too. I hope that I can make everyone here smile, its the best I can do.
I don't know about others, but I can say that just seeing happy greetings from a fellow CBer gives me enough energy to power through a whole day.
So, laugh, live, love. I feel as though I understand those words suddenly after this long train of thought. Heh.
And about my friend. He's doing much better now, laughing and loving.
Wow you wrote a lot, and it isn't very funny either. Is anyone going to read this?
I feel rather melancholic now.
It isn't the point. Random thoughts, remember? Let him have this chance to write.

That's so beautiful Zealatom!! It's so telling of your wonderful personality that as soon as you found that you could make yourself more happy, you decided that you would try to make other people feel the same. I really need to live more like this; stop dwelling on the negative and really trying to be more happy. I'm going to try to do it more actively now :))) I'm so glad that your friend is doing better now.
I totally get how difficult it can be to have friends that feel that way. Most of my friends have mental illnesses, and it can be really hard to know that you can't really do anything to help it. One of my friends was away for months because of this, but she's back today and I can't wait to talk to her!! She says she's doing better and I'm so glad because she's one of the best people I know. Another one of my friends who I was really worried about last year is doing so much better this year, and recently he shared some poetry with me that talked about his depression and his journey from feeling hopeless to healing. I'm so happy and grateful that my friends have been able to persevere, and I'm going to try and make all of my friends more happy today, starting with getting candy for them today during lunch <333

Hey Zealatom! Your post did make me smile inwardly and that's like personal sunshine. I hope you have a good day, and I hope someone makes you laugh. I look forward to reading you around!

Literally when I read this, I was like, "woah... is this written by a professional (like published) author?? Cause it sure seems like it".
loved it <3
Also how'd you do that with the calculator??
(February 16, 2023 - 1:41 pm)
Heh heh heh. That was a old beeping calculator I found at a flea market. Then my little brother's toy broke a week later, it was a toy car which had a bunch of buttons of the alphabet on it. Press one and you get a 'A', or 'B'. I managed to pull the curcuit out and wire it ramdomly to the calculator. The result would be a 'Bee-A-p' sound.
Or, in the case of key number 5, which short curcuited later: 'Be-EEEEE-pppp'. It was the best key to press because it was basicly too lazy to finish beeping and resorted to saying the sound out loud. Like how my dad goes 'ZZZZZZ' very loudly, pretending to sleep when he wants to drop out of a chat. It was great.

hm, how'd you get the calculator to do that?
(also, this will be my last comment for awhile- sorry for the rapid-fire posting, admins.)
(February 16, 2023 - 3:01 pm)
You did make me smile! It's contagious, isn't it?
(February 16, 2023 - 5:30 pm)
Ooh I love this entire comment! I agree so much. It is so important to try to cheer others up and make them laugh and just be happy. I do try, and I hope someone does the same for you too! Keep on being a positive force for good! :)

aaaaaaahhhhhh it's dress rehearsal in less than an hour help I'm not ready this is out last rehearsal? and then we perform on tuesday wednesday and thursday??? aaaaaaaaaaa nopenopenoppitynopenopenope scared
(February 16, 2023 - 2:56 pm)
Ooh, what are you performing?
(February 16, 2023 - 4:08 pm)
Well, the one that was the dress rehearsal today is You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown. But soon I have to go to a different musical practice, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I prefer the Charlie Brown one a lot more. Because its better. The directors are better, the distribution of lines, etc. AND it's my first time being in a musical with a bunch of lines (Wizard of Oz doesn't count, because it wasn't as a musical, for it was online, though it was fun to be Oz), not to mention actual SINGING SOLOS???? Oh, yeah, also I forgot to mention who I play: I'm Peppermint Patty
These past few days I've made a bunch of valentines for the play (over 30, probably). Today, one of the kids asked who had made the lgbtq ones. (me). There's 2 bi ones (one with a silver heart, the other heart is gold [I like that one better]), a pan one, an aroace one, and a couple gay ones, too. I'm very proud of all of them. :)))

Anyone remember the writing/art contest that Wreeboo started two or so years ago? Idk why but I was just thinking about it today- it was fun, even though it never really finished. Also, the writing I submitted was not my best lol
(February 16, 2023 - 3:09 pm)
I remember that! That was fun, although same, my art was mediocre hehe
