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.

I had just finished a project I was working on! Part of it uses water, so I covered the other part in plastic wrap so it wouldn't get damaged. But then I was adjusting something on the other part, and forgot to put the plastic back down, and now it doesn't work. I can't find any other thing wrong so it might be from the water. Now I need to fix it but I don't know how! I left it out in the sun to dry of and charge the bettery with solar, but it still doesn't work. So I wrote a letter to someone I needed to write to and I am going to wait until tommorow to see if I have any ideas then.

The thing that was damaged was a simple circut that powers a lightbulb with a button, the battery is 3.7 volts, and it was soaked in water for a moment, than the water kind of dripped down the box it was in, so yeah. The light bulb had a coat of plastic wrap over it still, and the lightbulb is where it ws soaked, but the piece I forgot to put over was blocking the water from dripping down to the rest of the circut. So I think the damage is in the wires or battery which were unprotected, beacause the lightbulb had been soaked with the plastic before and seemed fine after those times. So if anyone has any ideas, that would be much appreiacted.

hello Caroline! its th3mysticw0lf here [my name couldnt quite fit into the name box with the @ mention.] 

if you have any sources of metal or such conductors, those could work as wires! you could also snip off wires off of broken chargers [i have a surplus of them in my house...*sigh* i charge things too much. and roll over chargers with my chair. too. much.] and im pretty sure you can just replace the battery :) 

hope this helps! <3

If you replace the letter W in the phrase “What, Where, and When” with the letter T, you get the answers. (That, there, and then)

Wow! That's so cool. Do you think that was on purpose?

Probably. I feel like that would be a very rare coincedence.

Ignoring that part about the notebook (because i quite honestly do not know how to respond to that, let alone know if you're joking or note haha), listening to songs on repeat? Totally my jam. Falling into pits of self-doubt? Ugh, I'm so sorry. *hugs* hang in there <3 love you very much. You got this.

coming BACK to the part about the notebook, i read your poem, it was beautiful, and i think i get it. *hugs* *relates so hard*

aLsO not to change the subject too muchhhh but I'm cOminG to taHoE so look for a girl with three bracelets on her right wrist who looks about five feet tall!

on the off chance that you see me, of course haha-

i will keep all eyes open constantly with paper clips and i will MAKE SURE i find you even though the chances are very slim!

and yes songs on repeat basically describes my life haha

*hugs back* self-doubt can say goodbye, for lumi has arrived with text hearts

*shoos self doubt away*

also sadly i'm not joking i have a huge (hopefully platonic) crush on a literal notebook. 

well. the person that lives inside the notebook pages. like, the person that's listening to me vent through the notebook. the soul of the notebook, maybe. 

i dont know it's very complicated.

If it makes you feel any better, I think that's not much different than having a crush on a fictional character.

Also, does Ingrid have red hair?

(I may or may not be imagining her to look like Ingrid Michaelson with the red hair haha oops)

Anyways, Tahoe is currently extremely smoky, so my family's leaving a day early because air quality + my dad's asthma = bad. So. *cries* I'LL FIND YOU SOMEDAY 

Fire season just starts earlier and earlier each year, doesn't it.

One more thing:

GO AWAY, SELF DOUBT! *waves arms and yells like a maniac*

Gimme a min...

Ok, did anyone see my CAPTCHA, Mike? He has DARK deep brown hair, almost black, black pants, a black shirt, black-framed red sunglasses, black gloves, tan skin, brown eyes, 'bout 6"2', with black socks and those semi-high heeled shoes that were popular in the 60's?

Yeah, he's STILL runnin' from me.

I JUST got back from my aunt's house yesterday, and I LITERALLY stayed up watchin' YTFK ALL. NIGHT the first night, and then I fell asleep at 11:30 the next night, and then the last night I was there, I stayed up until 8 somethin' A.M.

I slept in until, like, 10:57 this mornin'.

And, my dad might think 'bout lettin' me get a Lego Jurassic World video game!

Have you lizards seen the brontasaurus on that game?! It's HUGE!!!!!

Like, the camera can't take it, that's how huge the dino is!!!

YES Cucumber Quest is awesome!!!! I read it all in a day and 1/2.

Me and my dad STARTED WATCHING The Dragon Prince, but never finished it, sadly. We'll have to get back on that sometime.
