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 know I keep dropping off the face of the earth only to pop back up a few months later on this thread, sorry guys T-T Between all my AP classes and homework and clubs and college stuff and work and internship and writing program I really have no free time anymore, but I'll try to be better about posting on here more.

Anyway, how has everyone been? How's everyone liking fall so far? I'm sooo happy that I can wear my one million sweaters again and get hot chocolates during lunch <333

Hi! glad you dropped in! whoa i can definitely understand not having any free time, it sounds intense. a writing program sounds really cool, though!

my fall's going pretty well, i'm enjoying the fall colors :)) BUT I hate the chilly weather we've been getting...

...Okay, I might be wrong but I am extremely nervous about impersonation and I just wanted to check: Was this comment actually written by Poinsettia? Because she usually capitalizes I's, has a different style of speaking, and doesn't use capital letters.

This isn't the first time I noticed this. I also saw this comment:

i'm officially godmother to a tomato plant! don't ask XD

and these ones:

my random worry of the day is: suppose I marry a farmer and my children are all farmers and by the time i'm 80 i have a tow-headed grandson in a straw hat and overalls?

also behold: it has happened again:

EEEEEE I WANT A SUGARCUBE

I'm really hoping there isn't an impersonator. There was some conflict about that in the past.

Just wanted to clarify about my earlier comment that didn't appear yet--if it turns out that there is NOT an impersontator and that I just panicked and thought there was, I apologize if I frightened or offended anyone.

submitted by Lyric, age Excluded, nowhere in particular

Thank you so much for pointing that out if you were worried, I really
appreciate your concern :) However, don't worry, the comment about a sugarcube is posted by me. Now and then I go without capitals (or all in capitals hehe), but it is me... again, though, thank you :)

Hmm, looking at those comments now, I do see that they came out sort of differently from my usual style... but don't worry, I wrote all of them! Maybe it's just that my way of expressing myself is changing? Oh, and about the non-capitalized I's, that's because I'm sometimes in a great hurry when writing comments, and I don't want to bother with the shift key, so I just make everything lowercase. It does give my comments kind of a different "look", but it's still me!

Thanks so much for keeping an eye out, though! If you see any other comments that you have doubts about, feel free to ask again :)

@Poinsettia and Amethyst, thank you so much for responding and letting me know that you did write those comments! Next time I see a comment by you in mostly lowercase or uppercase, I'll remember not to panic. After I posted that first comment yesterday, I realized that there probably wasn't an impersonator, hence the second comment clarifying (I'm very relieved that there isn't).

And I think I can relate to style of writing/way of expressing yourself changing. I slip in and out of different literary voices depending on mood, circumstances, etc.

HIII PANGOLIN!!!! It's great to be back! Yeah, I've been pretty busy lately, but things are going well. The writing program is super fun and challenging, but of course my OG writing community is the CB :))

Also yeah, what's with fall feeling like late summer? It was in the 70s last week...

Squee!!! Ripley and I FINALLY got to talk yesterday, and she said she might come back to the CB! She's gonna be under a different name though, but SQUEE!!!

I'm gonna go under a different name from now on... the name came to me in a dream. No kiddin', when I woke up a couple weeks ago, I thought "*Insert name here*... nice. Think I might use it."

Ok, here we go with the name change!!

I'm sooo close to being done with Les Miserables... I'm a few pages away from 1200, which means that I only have about 200 more to go. Why did Victor Hugo need to go on so many side tangents? I don't need to know about the history of the Parisian sewers or every detail of the Battle of Waterloo Victor, it's not relevant to the plot at all T^T
