Everything looks so smooth.

People shouldn't be complaining about posts that don't break the forum guidelines, and while the poem (urg I can't belive I read through that garbage to see if it was actually bad, sorry still can't stand poetry) could be construed as somewhat lewd, I suppose it's also semi academical. So not really something one could complain about.

Verbose poetry tends to appear academical, especially if you reduce clarity.

I have a social life I think?!? I don't know but it's still kinda strange and new.

Spoiler: socializing details for those who are interested bc im more or less excited about it (click to show/hide)

A friend of mine had invited me to come to a church thingy that was today, and so after school I walked with him and another kinda friend to his home where we did I guess normal things like (me) be assaulted by his smol dogs and watch Invader Zim and some kid's show I forget the name of and also eat dinner.

After that we went to the church thing which the ride there was awkward since his mom got pissed at him and yelled and stuff but yeah. The church thing wasn't that great, it started with us meeting the pastor dude where he told us about creation stuff and how teh gays!!! are wrong and that there are only males and females and yeah. After that we made lewd jokes, many of which I shamelessly stole from the terrible jokes thread and none of which should have been said in a holy place. The service thing itself was kinda interesting-ish, but they just victimized themselves by claiming bible-phobia and that just because they are against same-sex marriage and couples in general doesn't mean that they're homophobic!!! Obviously!! and more stuff I didn't pay attention to. My favorite part was staring down this middle-aged dude who kept looking at my friends and I as we sat in a corner and quietly joked around, which he couldn't even hear, he was just trying to watch us.

So yeah socializing! and stuff makes me happy which is good i think. Kinda sucks having to misgender my friend but yeah, it was cool and so y'know woooo having a life, and im also kinda surprised my parents have been letting me do this stuff. i wonder when it will come crashing down again woo

Sounds like that story could end up being like that one poem that involved girls and goblin merchent men.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One may lead a horse to water,
Twenty cannot make him drink.
Though the goblins cuff’d and caught her,
Coax’d and fought her,
Bullied and besought her,
Scratch’d her, pinch’d her black as ink,
Kick’d and knock’d her,
Maul’d and mock’d her,
Lizzie utter’d not a word;
Would not open lip from lip
Lest they should cram a mouthful in:
But laugh’d in heart to feel the drip
Of juice that syrupp’d all her face,
And lodg’d in dimples of her chin,
And streak’d her neck which quaked like curd.
At last the evil people,
Worn out by her resistance,
Flung back her penny, kick’d their fruit
Along whichever road they took,
Not leaving root or stone or shoot;
Some writh’d into the ground,
Some div’d into the brook
With ring and ripple,
Some scudded on the gale without a sound,
Some vanish’d in the distance.

               In a smart, ache, tingle,
Lizzie went her way;
Knew not was it night or day;
Sprang up the bank, tore thro’ the furze,
Threaded copse and dingle,
And heard her penny jingle
Bouncing in her purse,—
Its bounce was music to her ear.
She ran and ran
As if she fear’d some goblin man
Dogg’d her with gibe or curse
Or something worse:
But not one goblin scurried after,
Nor was she prick’d by fear;
The kind heart made her windy-paced
That urged her home quite out of breath with haste
And inward laughter.

               She cried, “Laura,” up the garden,
“Did you miss me?
Come and kiss me.
Never mind my bruises,
Hug me, kiss me, suck my juices
Squeez’d from goblin fruits for you,
Goblin pulp and goblin dew.
Eat me, drink me, love me;
Laura, make much of me;
For your sake I have braved the glen
And had to do with goblin merchant men.”

So after a traipsing around Wikipedia it seems this snippet is incredibly out of context.
By which I mean I'd probably read the whole poem to my kids happily.
As long as they weren't old enough to understand the terrific innuendo.

Just posting a reminder to myself that I can bookmark so that I'll remember to come back in a couple years to post my neener neeners re: STEM-worship, after I've graduated from the high-demand well-looked upon graduate program that'll give me multiple good public and private options for a stable lifelong career, which I parlayed my Liberal Arts degree into.

Shoot me a PM when you do it, my Political-Science-as-a-Cover-for-Engineering graduate degree will be happy to affirm the value in disciplines that pretty much spend all their time teaching people how to think.

Just finished writing a little over 5,880 words in a writing update for a forum game. I'd say only around 4,300 of it is from today, but that's still good.
It feels good to do writing things.

I just found out that there is more Cannon Stories to the Firefly series. Like the comic books...
OMG I love these...
Book's backstory is epic... And alarmingly insightful...
