Did we sink so low we had to make a holiday dedicated to love? As if any other day could do it just as well. In fact I'm sure the psychological effect on most people makes this a worse day for confession or gift giving. I just call it national chocolate day two.

I have mixed feelings on it, honestly. I think that we should definitely celebrate St. Valentine and what he did, which was what the holiday was created for in the first place, but then commercialism just took it and turned it into a day for chocolate and roses and "If you don't go and spend a bunch of money on valentines for absolutely everyone you know then you're a horrible person." Peer pressure and bandwagon galore. It hardly really has anything to do with love anymore anyway. But that's just my opinion.

Yeah I know about St. Valentine but no one listens to me. So instead you either have to bite into anything the world tells you to or completely reject it in a "cool" manner.

...Someone once told me to act like I'm in the world but not of the world. I think I'll just follow his advice.

How does that work?

Basically, you're living in the world, but you don't agree with everything the world says. You're not just another person following the crowd and doing exactly what everybody else is doing and believing everything they believe. But, you're not living under a rock either, having absolutely no idea what's going on in the world. So, you're neutral.

Thats me but without the neutral part. I know whats going on and I'm against it. Its not just modern commercialism and consumerism I'm fed up with, its pretty much the entirety of the world and its culture. I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who said "A man who trades freedom for security does not deserve either" and thats what we're doing today.

Hey there! Any books you recommend reading? I'm currently looking for something interesting to read but nothing seems to catch my attention besides Warriors. I guess I'm just a little tired of the heavy romance novels out there and farfetched fantasy. Was wondering if you knew of a book/series unlike the rest.

Hmn. Since my favorite genre is fantasy and I don't read much but that, I don't know what to say. Β―\_(γ)_/Β― I'll let you know if anything crosses my mind, though!

I hate fantasy...so weird, but two book series caught my eye and are among my favorites. The Redwall series by Brian Jacques, and also The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. I got thrown off because there are dragons on the cover, but my friend half-forced me and it was actually pretty good.

I've decided to take out the one-shots I've read section on the front page because there are too many to count. cx Oops. But, anyone can still suggest one that they want me to read! I'm always willing to help your stories get more readers when they need them.

Hey!! I think Iβve read Wild Spirit (1) before, and I should probably work on rereading both 1 and 2. Iβm being brainwashed every day by my lovely friend high school. Or maybe Iβm just really forgetful. Anyways, books and stuff, or maybe Iβm just here because Iβm lonely and want to chat :β)

^^^thats an achievement! I feel like I canβt finish writing any fanfics without getting serious writerβs block. Oh well. The sad thing is I have so many ideas in my head but they donβt turn out.
Eh, nothingβs going on in my life right now. Summer breakβs great, but it can be so boring.

Post by Maplestone360 on May 30, 2018 9:40:37 GMT -5
Don't worry, I feel you. I get serious writer's block too. It took me a whole year to finish book three, and I started the series in 2015. They're just small, 10,000 ish word stories, and it still took me that long. Β―\_(γ)_/Β― Oops.
Summer break just started for me! :3 Yay. I'm just hoping my mom doesn't give me a bunch of chores to do every day like she usually does in the summer. x-x Still slightly better than school, I guess.

Hehe. Well, every author goes through that (including J.K Rowling now?? Wha?)
Thatβs great! I have so many friends who are still in school because I started a week earlier, and they rubbed it in August-ish, but while theyβre complaining about finals Iβm getting my sleep. Itβs all good.

Agreed. cx
Yeah, I'm so glad it's over. *large relieved sigh* Now I can sleep as much as I want.
Do you have any plans for this summer?

Not too many, but we are going to visit the fam soon, for about 2 weeks?? After that, Iβm not sure. But I do know I have to go to vocal lessons and running camps. Hbu?

Well, next month we're going to NY to visit family too for a few days. Then in July, we possibly, possibly could go to London and Paris. My mom wanted to go a few years later, but there's a Tolkien event going on in London that she could only do this year so we might do the London/Paris trip earlier. And I'm SUPER excited but. Nothing's certain with this family so. Β―\_(γ)_/Β― I don't know if we'll actually go or not. It's really expensive. ._.

Eyy sorry for the poof. I havenΓ’ΒΒt been to London or Paris, but everyone I know who has said its so worth it. And everyone loves London. ThatΓ’ΒΒs something fun to look forward to. New York is fun too! IΓ’ΒΒve only been there once, and I donΓ’ΒΒt really remember it, but I do remember going to the m&m factory. Since I was like 6, that was so exciting. Anyways, since weΓ’ΒΒre going out of country to visit the fam, itΓ’ΒΒs kinda expensive too, but I donΓ’ΒΒt think weΓ’ΒΒll go on another vacation for a lifetime. Gotta enjoy this one a lot. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

I poofed as well. cx' Oops. But yeah. I am looking forward to it, and I hope we can go. And I'm not going to New York City, just somewhere else off in the state, so nothing really notable will happen except for seeing family. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
