I'll let you host this month, then, if that's alright. Anything left to do?
(September 25, 2024 - 10:39 pm)
I don't think so, anyone else wanna add anything?
(September 27, 2024 - 8:06 am)
Are there any birthdays?
(September 27, 2024 - 8:09 am)
Everyone, I'm so sorry! Something really serious with a family member JUST came up and I can't do the MCU. Someone else has to.
(September 27, 2024 - 8:18 am)
We still need important dates, if anyone wants to do that. We also technically need inspirational quotes, but I think we can use zoba_tea's advice for that, so it's fine. @Moon Wolf, will you be okay with hosting this month, and zoba_tea can host next month? If so, could you please probably try to get the questions out by today (or if you can't and you want me to do the questions instead, then I can do that)?
@zoba_tea, I hope things are alright with your family member!! <3
(September 27, 2024 - 5:41 pm)
I posted the questions!
@zoba_tea, hope things are all good with your family as well <33

hii i'm here with book of the month!
the sun is also a star~nicola yoon
two people, daniel bae and natasha kingsley, spend one day together in new york. natasha is facing deportation back to jamaica, and daniel is dealing with his problematic family. one a cynic, one a hopeless romantic, each wanting something more than the life they're currently living. this book is technically a romance, but it's focused on things much bigger than that. if you're into theories and parodoxes, i think you'll like it a lot.

Remember when I was like, "I promise I'll get the CB quotes up by tonight!"? That was two days ago, and the funny thing about this is I actually had this all written out by that night, but I just... never got around to posting it. Well, here I am now. Sorry I'm so late :/
CB Quotes!
"One of the nicest things about writing is the way that it can be about anything you want. Suppose you're writing a really happy story where the main characters go to gorgeous expensive hotels, travel around Italy, and fall in love, all on an apparently nonexistent budget. "But real life isn't like that!" objects a realist.
You smile serenely. "Well, in this story, it is," you say.
"Are you sure?" persists the Skeptical Realist.
"Yes," you say simply. "Because I say so."" - Poinsettia, Writing Group!
"I don't know if any of you live in Florida but I do and there's a killer hurricane about to hit and it's really inconsiderate because I'm trying to get my thirty minutes of violin practice in rn!!!" - Cocoa Cat, Random Thoughts/Things
"(Context: It's spirit week at my high school and today is "Centerian Wednesday", so we're supposed to dress up like old people... for some reason)
NO ONE IS DRESSED UP BRO-
All I've got is a cardigan and a piece of paper that says "No, this is not a costume (I'm chronically ill)"
...
I like to think I'm funny *waves cane*" - Writing_in_the_Dark, Random Thoughts/Things
"the needle felted dragon which I poured my heart and soul into bringing into this world... *points angrily at the cat, Muffin* that beast ate it! that terrible monster destroyed that which I held most dear! you, beast, shall henceforth be known as the devourer of the innocent! shame on thee!" - Darkvine, Random Thoughts/Things
"I know this makes me a huge nerd but our Latin homework was to annotate a passage of Caesar's Gallic Wars and it was honestly such a relaxing experience? Annotating things in English is no fun but it's really nice just getting to color code and make little grammar notes about the clauses and verbs and stuff in Latin" - Vi, Random Thoughts/Things
"Etymology? I've been summoned! I assume you were wondering whether it was related to the word hearse, and I can tell you that, yes, if you go far enough back, it is! Both ultimately come from Oscan, through the Latin word hirpex, meaning harrow (a tool used to break up clods of earth or dig up weeds before seeds are planted), presumably because a hearse is used at burials, when a coffin is being "planted" in the ground. Rehearse (and by extension rehearsal), meanwhile, comes from a related old French word meaning "to rake over" or "to turn over", which eventually also gained the meaning "to go over again" or "repeat". Thus, we get the modern word rehearse and its meaning of going over a performance!" - Vi, Random Thoughts/Things

Is it okay if I add a song to the monthly playlist? (Its the song Beautiful Things by Benson Boone)

Book Quotes:
“The braided tortoise strikes again!” -The Westing Game (Ellen Raskin)
‘The Hunduns were coming. A whole herd of them, rumbling across the wilds, stirring up a large storm of dust through the night. Their rotund, faceless bodies, made up of spirit metal, glinted under the silver half-moon and sky full of glittering stars.’ -Iron Widow (Xiran Jay Zhao)
‘Say you’re in a massive bunker made out of some material that can withstand thousand-mile-per-hour winds. That’s good, and you’d be fine. . . if you were the only one with a bunker. Unfortunately, you probably have neighbors, and if the neighbor upwind of you has a less-well-anchored bunker, your bunker will have to withstand a thousand-mike-per-hour impact by their bunker.’ -What If? (Randall Munroe)
‘The best thing in the world is a party, except when you’re the youngest person there and everyone wishes you would go away.’ -Fox Snare (Yoon Ha Lee)
