greetings from "Streamstar of CloudClan"

Hitchhiker's Guide is good, just long and confusing if you let your mind wander. One second, it'll be talking about planes, and the next, there's a gigantic moth receptionist that's very angry at life.

Ahh, this'll be difficult because a lot of the LGBT books I read are generally centered around romance. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is based around coming of age, but romance is a pretty big part of it.
The All For The Game Trilogy can only be bought on kindle or bought through Amazon and it has a lot of very sensitive subjects, but it's my absolute favorite and is about a boy that's basically running from mafia but gets recruited by a university team for a fictional sport and stuff happens. Again, you might want to find the list of warnings about that trilogy, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're sensitive to certain graphic topics.
Umm, I'm currently reading The Raven Cycle Series which isn't entirely centered around romance, but romance is still a large part of it considering one of the first lines involves "If she kisses her true love, he'll die" but it's about psychics and Welsh kings and the afterlife and magic so if that interests you, go for it. The summary doesn't really give you much to go by, but it is really good once you get passed the first book.

That's really all I've got that I've read. I've heard The Secret History is good, but I haven't checked it out yet. Otherwise, I have nothing else to give you, sorry. You can probably find some relatively good book recs on tumblr or smth. Seriously, don't trust my judgement.

I can't fix my sleep schedule because jetlag is going to suck in two days anyway, lol. Goodnight, though! I'll try to be online, but no promises.

Uhh all I remember is we're going to a four-star hotel, we're seeing Chicago on Broadway, we're going to the Empire State Building, and we're seeing Niagara Falls. No, I will not ask for the 600th floor at the Empire State Building.

Ehh I don't like New York all that much. Not that I've been, but it's just not my thing.

Stream's homeschooled. School starts September 6 for me, so I'll be spending my last week of freedom trying to deal with 3-hour jetlag. Actually, the jetlag might help because then I'll actually go to bed at midnight rather than 4 am...

I'm pretty sure it's a half day for me too, haha. It's still school though.

Sorry, I've been writing all day, but I just finished the chapter and I'm updating my fanfic now so I hope I have more time! I do have some other writing things to do though, so idk.

I need to rewatch a Very Potter Musical, but instead I'm on a language learning website trying to learn three languages at once. It's probably not a very good idea to do that, but whatever. I have like, three more things to write, unfortunately.

German, Welsh, and Norwegian. I would be learning Tagalog and Japanese (well, I already know some Japanese. I'm a Japanese year two going on three student) but the website doesn't have those. German is kind of killer on my throat.

Nice. Tbh I don't know how much I type in that time. I wrote like, eight pages from around 4:30 to 7 if that means anything?

Yeah Japanese is hard to learn if you're not forced to by school, especially since there's three alphabets and kanji is like, the worst thing next to grammar points. And then there's also culture to learn and stuff like that and it's all just very complicated because you don't say "I love you" unless you really love someone and you've been in a committed relationship for a long time. (Japanese really isn't straightforward) Buut anyway

I can only really write if I set a deadline for myself. On average, my chapters are usually around ten pages long and I can usually finish them within a day if I realize "oh yeah I meant to finish this tomorrow" and then I end up rushing myself. Probably not the best idea.

Okay so I'm going on a trip with my cousins for the weekend so I probably won't be able to reply to anything until Monday (if you're still here, Streameh? I know Dawn's at New York so it shouldn't really make a difference)

I'M ALIVE

About Japanese, it's hiragana, and it's the first alphabet everybody learns. It's the easiest. I started learning Japanese because I was an anime nerd, but then I continued because college credits. My class only offers Japanese, French, and Spanish, and I just can't do the accents nor do I want to take the easy way out. Apparently my Japanese class is a little more advanced than some others, so I also like to take that opportunity to gloat.

Ahh I'm going into third year Japanese. You might want to take at least three years for good colleges, but I think I might know a little more than you because my teacher is a lot more practical in his teaching and teaches us kanji first year rather than second/third year. Japanese is hard though, so it takes soooo long (like possibly ten years) to actually become pretty fluent. As is, I only know a few basic phrases and I've been taking Japanese for two years. Plus kanji is horrible and the devil. But yeah, the only reason I started taking Japanese was so I could understand stuff.

The entirety of my Let's Play watching on yt is NicoB and DanAndPhilGames with some Markiplier thrown in there.

Ah, well, sometimes the internet can be helpful with overall phrases. If you ever do get around to really learning the language, or if you ever want to go to Japan, I suggest also learning the culture. They are very different from us and it's kind of offensive to them if you don't follow their customs. I could help, but only up til third year probably. After next year, I'm not going to continue my classes. I'm just doing it for the credits and how it'll look in college.

Haha, I don't really know them. I don't watch much gameplays unless there's a game I'm interested in. (Which are usually anime games, tbh. Speaking of which, I need to watch a playthrough of Dangan Ronpa 3)

Yeah, I'm not too fond of planes either. The ones with the screens on the seats are cool, but I dislike turbulence. Japan wouldn't really be my thing anyway.

Yup! I saw NicoB playing it and I have to start watching it when I have time. I knew the anime was out, but not the game. (About YouTube, I'm just so used to saying yt that I just keep doing that lol)

Eh, not too bad. My flight from New York was five hours long. It sucked, and I played the same 28 songs over and over again. At least the plane wasn't cramped, but there was a lot of turbulence and I was scared for like half the ride. It made me read my book slower.
