In Case Anybody Cares Thread
This thread, you post a nice chunk of text about whatever you feel like pondering that day. Journal-type entries, existential thoughts, something you happened to google that way, interesting facts, whatever. It's like Random Thoughts/Things, but with a few paragraphs rather than a few lines.

There's always so much to think about.
I makes me sad when other people don't think about anything and just talk mindlessly or use their phones. :(
There's just so much cool stuff out there to think about, or ponder over and care about and to hold meaningful discussion over, and to learn and read and write about...
We should do more of that.

I know...
I'm a little hypocritical of this myself because during the day I'm just usually really bored and my go-to is usually hop on the computer, but it makes me feel gross inside and guilty or whatever. I dunno, it's just easier for me to hide away. It makes me feel gross, but I don't really know what else I could do.
There's a girl in my class who is always on her phone. And that's true of almost all of them, but this girl is extra. She's never looked at me. Not even once. Or the teacher, or anyone else. It's not that she's shy, I think I'd be able to tell, but... I dunno. There's a lot of people like that, and i just keep thinking, you're wasting your life!
Am I wasting my life?

I FINALLY got 100 Gold Bricks in LEGO Worlds on Saturday! And my room has furniture in it!! Yay!! And Ripley_Wren and my grandma might be visitin' in late spring/early summer!!
Maybe I should start a Monkees revival??? Would any of you lizards be interested in it? I'm thinkin' that it could have Mike Nesmith's descendants, Davy Jones's descendants, Micky Dolenz's descendants, and Peter Tork's descendants! If I did it with people who weren't even RELATED, that'd be messed up. Someone tired that in the '80's, but it didn't work...
Would anybody be interested if I made a LEGO Monkees video game? I'm tryin' to get 101 people to agree with me on it... I only have 9 people. That's good, right? I mean, sure, 3/4 of the Monkees passed away (The most recent bein', sadly, Mike Nesmith), but we could try to find some people who SOUND like them, and in the mini-movie scenes, we could use the dialogue from the episodes?

yesss we need this thread
lizards, think about this for a moment: every single person in the developed world wears pajamas at some point during every day. That includes celebrities, the British royal family, your most abhorred politician, your crush, your school principal, everyone. Taylor Swift. Mark Rober. AURORA.
I mean, picture your most abhorred politician (if you have one) in pajamas, and then tell yourself that that is a true picture. Besides, what kind of pajamas? Flannel? A pair of shorts and an old T-shirt? Pajamas with little fireworks all over them? Idk why this question holds so much interest for me...
(July 20, 2023 - 7:51 pm)
Think about this, my friends. I am wearing pajamas at every point during the day. Under my clothes. This is commonly referred to as "living the life." Jealous?
(July 21, 2023 - 12:35 pm)
Idk... think about THIS.
(July 22, 2023 - 2:28 am)
It was a joke. Sorry.
But everything I own is sweatpants, hoodies, etc. Soft enough to serve as pajamas.
So really, was it a joke? Was it? Something for us all to think about, in the trying times to come.
(July 22, 2023 - 7:43 pm)
Ok, honestly I am very confused right now. But it's fine. Why are you apologizing again? Oh well, if it was a joke, then it worked cuz it DID make me laugh! :)
And it is an interesting thing to think about. Like, imagine a world where anything everyone ever wore was pajamas...
What would society be like? Would your pajamas determine social status? Would there be pajama uniforms? Would anyone ever get tired of wearing pajamas? Would it be thought of as a pain, not a pleasure? Why WOULD everyone only wear pajamas and not clothes anyway? Are they clothes? Well, they are, in that world. Would it just be like normal clothes, but pajamas? How would that work? What IS a pajama, anyway? Something you wear to sleep? Something that's warm and cozy?
a suit of loose pants and jacket or shirt for sleeping in.
(July 23, 2023 - 1:40 am)
If everything was pajamas, would anything really be pajamas?
Wait, I think I just confused myself.
(July 23, 2023 - 12:58 pm)
Exactly!
hmm...
Ok, I'm gonna have to mull over this question for the rest of the day...

Why do most of the people my age have to play addictive video games on their smartphones or ipads everywhere they go... you can have infinitively more fun with your brain you know, especially when you're daydreaming while listening to music, and that way you don't have to worry about screentime regulations or low battery warnings (or unhappy parents). It's really sad that some people just seem to lose their entire being when they don't have a screen to stare at.
(July 22, 2023 - 8:46 am)
I agree so much! I mean, like you say, daydreaming (especially with music!!) is a great way to pass the time! Or just talking to people, or reading a book, or anything...
(July 23, 2023 - 7:06 pm)
i would argue that it's not the person's fault, but the devices or lack of protection
i knew people who first got their phone at age 5 which i think is disgusting on the parent's side
(July 24, 2023 - 3:54 pm)
I agree with you 100%... age 5???!!!
