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.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!! <333 /pos

now to totally change the mood...

My day was totally going great; I was dressed up in a pink headband, pink silk scarf, purple shirt, and blue jean skirt (I was like a walking Bi flag lol), I had listened to great music ("You Need To Calm Down" twice and "Revolting Children" about ten times), and it was finally pride month! And my morning classes were generally fun (like art! and getting donuts in shacharit!)  ...until I got to reading, right before lunch. For a couple questions, I raised my hand up high quietly to be called on the answer. But, BOTH TIMES, other kids called out and said the answers. And tbh I think I would've answered them better (aka more detail). But it was so annoying b/c I'm being a good student, waiting to get called on, but apparently it's okay to call out now? And no one even noticed! UGH. And then lunch happened, and it wasn't too bad b/c I got to talk about some historical, totally not platonic letters that one of them I memorized part of. Skip ahead to the end of science. I love my teacher, but she is way too nice. Anyways, I was trying to work on this packet about stem cells. I had to read something, and write about it and other typical worksheet stuff. All of the other kids in the class (save for Lee and honestly the two kids who bether me the most, but that was b/c those two were out in the hall) were all talking and being annoying and idk how they were getting their work done with all that talking and laughing and random stuff they were doing that was no where near being on topic. Anyways, I couldn't focus at all with all that noise, so I covered my ears with my hands, but that doesn't work too well, especially when you also need to use said hands for other things. Anyways, then my teacher saw and tried to get them to quiet down, but, whaddya know, they didn't. So then I couldn't take it, so I slid under the table (both of my partners left me, so I was all alone at a table), criss-cross-applesauce, folded over, hands over ears. No one really noticed, or cared. Well, until one kid was like, "Where's [insert name]?" Then Lee found me and was like "are you okay". I didn't answer. Then other girl N, was like "I think she's crying" (she's annoying tbh). Lee asked me if I was, I whispered "I'm not crying" (thought that was kinda a bit of a lie but only slightly). Then I tried working under the table. Didn't work. People wouldn't shut up. Then one kid M was like "whats up with her" and Mushroom (who was somehow one of the main people making noise!) was like "over stimulated", so like yeah they understood but didn't really do anything. No one really did anything for an entire 45 minutes and it was so aggravating; but not just that, I mean idk how to put it into words ya know but like panic-y-ish but not completely just like "AAAAAAA EVERYONE SHUT UP I CANT WORK BUT I NEED TO JUST STOP STOPSTOPSTOPAAAAAAAAA *breathes heavily*" I guess? I wanted to cry, break stuff, curl up into a ball, and scream for hours after. And somehow that one main kid that is my least fav in the entire grade, apparently he unlike some of my friends, ones who might understand, actually wanted to see if I was okay. Like what??? I'm confused. /srs
Anyways I should get to my math homework. Thank you for reading my incredibly long rant (sorry Admins, just something I had to tell someone and I felt like the people here would understand more) and hope y'all had a good day, and will have a good night and June/pride month. Love y'all /p <3

You should email or write a letter to your teacher. I think talking loudly during class and schoolwork is unacceptable.

oh, that sounds so frustrating :( The teacher should seriously have made those kids pipe down!! It's so irritating when teachers just hang around in the background and don't have any effect. I hope it doesn't happen again *sends positivitea*

also, I can kind of relate to the part about the kid who surprisingly wanted to see if you were okay. Back before I was homeschooled, there was this boy whom I couldn't stand, but every once in a while had these flashes of being really nice, like one time he was very supportive when I was upset. I guess people surprise us sometimes :)

awwww friendly, I'm sorry that happened D: *sends solidaritea & hugs*

BUT I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL I TOTALLY GET IT THAT KIND OF THING HAPPENS TO ME TOO ALL THE TIME you described it perfectly when you put it into words.

Have some advice, maybe? (ONLY IF YOU WANT IT THOUGH, IF YOU WERE JUST VENTING THEN TOTALLY IGNORE THIS SECTION) Music definitely me—or noise cancelling headphones (especially if they're playing music or white noise). It helps if I can get my brain to follow something else and it also drowns out a lot of the external noise, which I think is the main thing for me. Or you could ask your teacher if you could work outside or something. Definitely talk to her if you think she could help at all.

BUT ALSO YAY HAPPY PRIDE MONTH :D at my school today there was a pride bake sale from one of the clubs and I ate five cookies and a banana muffin (and a popsicle and a boba, but those were from different things :D I've had too much sugar today, it's great—). I also got a pride flag and some lgbtq+ stickers :D although they didn't have either an aro flag or aro stickers *cries* but STILL YAY HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

I went to my brothers graduation today and there were like 727 other grads not including my brother. It took 47 minutes to read all of their names. Surprised

My GOSH. He (my brother) is valedictorian (4.0+ GPA) and wore a white tassel and robe. 
On another note, although my school year hasn't officially finished, I completed all nessecary work today so I basically have graduated elementary school

Looking through the back pages of the CB for the CB historian thing is actually incredibly interesting. The vibes have changed drastically over the years, as well as the kinds of threads produced and the discussions that people had. There are some really cool game ideas they had back then (maybe I should revive some?). But to be honest, I'll always like the current CB the best <33

I've been looking through some of the back pages on the CB just for fun and one thing I noticed is when the older CBers would express great happiness they'd do it like this:

:D:D:D:D:D:D

but now we do it like this:

:DDDDDDD 

kinda funny :)

I really wish I asked my mom for one of those rainbow bracelets at the farmer's market thing... but I'm not really ready to tell anyone that I'm ace, so I just kinda longingly looked at all the rainbow stuff and looked away when my mom looked at me :|

also, it was like 95 degrees so I got a cold drink that apparently was made with limes, pineapples, and cucumbers. it was rather interesting, because it tasted sweet, with sour at the edges, and had a cucumber aftertaste. rather odd, but it was good :D

Pouty says 'bgrve'. I'm gonna interpret that as 'be brave' and not 'be grave', which could either mean 'be sad' or 'I'm gonna kill you'. it's probably 'be grave' tho isn't it :/
