Random Thoughts/Things?

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.

My roommate probably (definitely) thinks I'm crazy, because I am currently eating a bowl of soup in my closet and randomly giggling at the video I'm watching.

Hi!  It's going okay right now.  This is my first week of college and so far it's been really difficult emotionally, which is the source of the Feelings.  But yeah, could be better, but I'm alright currently.  Hopefully next week will be better because I'll have classes to take my mind off of things.

Good luck! I start classes this Monday, and I can't wait to finally have something to do!

I think I know how you feel - my classes start tomorrow too, and after years of homeschooling, it's just weird and unsettling to think of studying with other people (though exciting!) I've been having Feelings all summer... Guess we can go through it together, anyway. I did post some advice in reply to your Confessions post, in case you feel like that might help! Anyway, I'm glad to hear things are okay right now, and I hope college is nothing but amazing for you. It'll hopefully get a lot easier as you get used to it, anyway.

also good luck @Jaybells! I hope your classes go well too :)

Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm going to be on hiatus starting tomorrow. I'm going on a camping trip and I'll be back in a week or so :)

I feel like this thread needs more chaos... after all, it is random thoughts/things.

also I was looking through the back threads trying to find this old post about cucumbers, so you're all treated to a few random gems from a long time ago! the only problem is i keep running into my comments and cringing.

"Is anything on this thread random? This is a deeper question than you may think. Sure, all the thoughts on this thread would be random if placed on another thread (unless that thread had to do with whatever random things you may have put here), but random thoughts are expected on this thread, thus meaning they are not random. The only thing that could be considered random on this thread would be something expected, but the only that's expected on this thread are random thoughts. So, if putting things that are expected on this thread is random, and the only thing that is expected on this thread is a random thought, everything on this thread is random." -Periwinkle

"Has anyone else ever noticed how sometimes opposites wind up being things that are actually very similar? For example, if the opposite of the phrase "peace out" is "in war," isn't that basically the same thing? Or if the opposite of a good dream is a bad nightmare, well, if you are bad at being a nightmare, you probably aren't very scary, making for a good dream." -also Peri

"Someone help i'm a comic book supervillain trapped in an underwhelming human body." -Lord Entropy

"I created a new word! Plagiarism." -MoonKitten

""We have a special way of tormenting each other- it's called friendship." -Sterling

"wood fired pizza?? how's pizza gonna get a job now??" -Rainbow Riot

"Sometimes you have a bad day. and that's when you gotta put on a helmet and grab a long stick and then deliver a dramatic monolouge to a friend while standing atop a cliff before throwing it down to them and challenging them to climb the cliff and strike you down. Not that i know this personally." -Lord Entropy 

"My mom once got a fortune cookie that said "you are the crispy noodle in the vegetarian salad of life." o_0" -Feline Fantasy 

okay i'll leave you all alone now

i don't remember saying either of those things, so i probably said them before my hiatus, but they're funny, and it's a well known fact that i wasn't funny before my hiatus, i was cringe. yet i read these words by my past self, and find that they are not cringe. but, I said them pre-hiatus, therefore ERROR. ERROR. DOES NOT COMPUTE. IF "CRINGE" DOES NOT EQUAL "FUNNY." SUBJECT: CRINGE NOT FOUND

my brain is going to explode hold on

I love those quotes so much. They have brightened my day enormously.

Haha I sympathize with finding cringy comments made by your past self... you just look at them and think "oh gosh, what was I thinking??" Hopefully other people don't find them cringy, though. I must say I don't find yours cringy, anyway :)

so, i'm taking a mixed media class at my school, and we have a stash of materials (some of them vintage!) to work with, including this! apparently, in Victorian times there used to be a children's magazine with short stories called Chatterbox! unfortunately they seem to have been pretty into those victorian gender roles though :/

Cool! I hadn't heard of this. Thanks for showing us. Is it just the cover you show that you have? Or do you have more pages of the magazine?
