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.

that awkward moment when you find out one of your maybe-sorta-okay-ish friends has actually been talking bad about you behind your back and they don't know you know so you all just carry on and you sit there feeling nauseous
I'm sorry ik I complain about them so much and I've been trying to ditch them but it's harder than I thought… I've sorta stopped talking to most of the really bad ones unless I have to but I just found out they've all been saying bad stuff about me behind my back, even the one I thought might be okay, and I really don't know what to do :/ though I do know some of the specific lines they've said and it might be funny (funny in that way that's not really funny if yk what I mean) to just text them some of those lines and watch what happens
but it's probably best if I just ignore it bc every time I try and stand up for myself I'm the annoying one, it's never okay for me to have a problem so
yeah
but in other news, I get to see the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie tomorrow!! and it's almost summer. I should try and be optimistic, really, and I hate to annoy you all with my problems, ik you're probably sick of it so sorry and thanks for putting up with it

Peri STOP being so hard on yourself k? of course i don't feel annoyed by you. i literally don't know what their problem is or why they're being jerks but i'm here for updates anytime you feel like posting bc I want to know when it gets better. I'm gonna be totally honest rn I have no idea what I would do or how I would help or an end goal but imma be honest I would probably send them one of the lines no context to see how they'd react. I'm not sure how that would be helpful at all but I would want to know.

I second this.
We love you Peri, and as much as you may be tempted to downplay it, you absolutely do not deserve to be treated like that! It's okay to rant to those you trust sometimes. You don't have to feel guilty or like you're a burden, because you're really not.
I'm truly glad you had the strength to step away from the worst of the worst, but that doesn't mean the path ahead will be any easier. You'll still have to put up with these immature kids, figure out what's actually best for you and get through their negativity, but you don't have to let that define you. Don't bother worrying about what they think, especially since they've already proven to be so blind towards your character. I believe in you and your courage! I've seen what you can do, and am certain you can pull through again. Best of luck, hun <3

Thank you both <3 I guess it takes more time to get better than I expected, even after I tried to put them behind me, but I'll keep fighting. And I really needed to hear that honestly, I've been sort of feeling like a burden so it's just really comforting when you guys tell me I'm not, so yeah just thank you <333

This morning I was thinking so hard that I forgot to take the cap off the toothpaste. Then I squeezed the toothpaste and nothing happened, and I looked down and saw that the cap was still on, and then I thought that I should stop thinking so hard about everything.

It's funny how I can be listening to a country song, and the music can sound exactly like it was taken out of a mariachi band or a northern Mexican song. Or sometimes it sounds like it ought to be in a traditional Irish song. Or sometimes you can tell that it was inspired by traditional African American music (spirituals, gospel, stuff like that). People often think of country as a very European-American type of music, but it's actually more diverse than pop >:)
Oh, and when I say "country," I don't mean the songs you hear on country radio nowadays, which are pretty close to pop - I mean the more authentic country singers, like Johnny Cash and Alison Krauss.
(May 6, 2023 - 2:18 pm)
I know practically nothing about music or how to identify the different kinds, or the way you can hear traces of influence or culture or history in it like you seem to be able to (which is incredible btw) but I grew up listening to country with my dad and I am always surprised by how different one song can sound to another, as if they were from two different genres a world apart
Also, fun fact: the subgenre of country that's on all the radio country stations for some reason is literally called "pop country"
have you heard of Chris Stapleton? i really like most of his songs, especially Starting Over, Maggie's Song and his rendition of Tennessee Whiskey
(May 6, 2023 - 7:04 pm)
OMG yay!! another CBer who listens to country!! :) It was actually my dad who introduced me to country music as well! Yeah, I'd noticed the huge variations too - there are some songs that sound nothing like each other, like if you listen to "Find My Way Back to My Heart" by Alison Krauss and "Little Bitty" by Alan Jackson, you'd never guess they were the same genre. Actually there's a lot of variation even within one singer's range of work, like Rosanne Cash... I don't think I've heard any Chris Stapleton songs, but I'll try some out! It's always nice to discover a new country singer :)
oh, and "pop country" sounds like an excellent name for it because that's exactly what it is XD

I took 178 days after it was requested to write a written picturing.
Which means that everyone else who requested them has been waiting for 175 days, 173 days, and 171 days.
All of those are about half a year.

I feel terrible. Like, seriously, who takes that long for written picturings???!!!
*cries*
*raises hand*
*wonders why after all the things that have happened today, THIS is the thing that's making me literally cry right now*
Well at least I've learned that I shouldn't open any RPs, or Ski Lodges, or Solo Writes, or anything else like that because if suddenly I have another mental health attack and have to go on another hiatus whatever the thread is will end up in the back pages.

ahhh I feel like crap ://///
my allergies have been like, nonexistant and then all of a sudden I've just been hammered this past week and I'm just like so done with all of this :(((
my throat hurts and my stomach is cramping and nauseous at the same time and my head is filled with congestion and my eyes are swollen and crusty and my face feels like sandpaper and I've got rashes all over my legs and arms and I go into a sneezing fit like every ten minutes and everything hurts and I'm so sad and I can't sleep cause I'm so uncomfortable but the medicine I take for the allergies is making me exhausted and while it helps the itching it doesn't really do much else and aughhhhhh asdfghjkioijosgkjn.
anyway it's only for a few more weeks, at most. may is the worst time but it'll be over soon, thank you for coming to my pity party and I shall now see myself out.
here's some good things that have been happening in my life:
- I got some new window shades for my room and they're so pretty! They have pictures printed on them: one is of a sailboat, and the other is some rocks and a lake. I love them so much :)
- I had a track meet on thursday, and it was my first time running the mile this year and I got a time of 6:40 which is like 23 seconds faster than my PR last year which I am so happy about. I know it's still a really bad time but i've been working so hard for this and I really wanted to get a sub 7-minute mile and I did, by a lot! so I still feel accomplished :)
- @Hex and others: for my school the girls are required to wear white sundresses and the boys have to wear white button-down shirts with nice pants to graduation. I don't have my graduation dress yet but I did get a new dress for the semi-formals (there's two) happening at the end of the year. It's light blue and it's so cute :) and all my friends are like "FIGHT THE PWOER FIGHT THE PATRIARCHY THEY CAN"T DO THIS TO US" and I'm like, why do they hate wearing dresses so much? dresses make me feel so cute and confident personally. oh well, to each their own, I suppose :p
anyways wow this comment is long, I'm really sorry admin and others. I guess this was kind of a brain dump for me :o
