Why do people comment on threads with pretty much the same exact thing as the people above them, just with different wording (and sometimes not even that)? I'll be looking through a topic, and three, four people at any given time will repeat the same thing... Am I the only person to read what the people above me said before I comment? We don't need half a dozen people saying: "Needs scenery", or even one (at least not with that tone)...

Most nights, I clear out the area I'll be sleeping in so I don't choke to death on a cord or rope, or cut myself open on a sharp object. Last night I failed to do this, noting the many pencils next to me (and one under me), but going to sleep anyways. The next morning (this morning), I was still half asleep when I jerked my elbow to pull my sleeping bag further up onto myself, and suddenly, I'm bleeding.  That pencil that I had slept on gave me a long cut (not too deep though). I was awake then though, so that's good!

Well, apparently I'm an illegitimate child. I was wondering... but now it's been confirmed. That's nice... 

Bane, Elven! Bane forever!

So there's this dude that's in the military that I go to church with, and he's on the security team. He's pretty intense with it too; takes the job very seriously (he's patted me down and interrogated me about the contents of my backpack, and that's after knowing me for a year and being in the same smallgroup as my family). I'm always in the back of the sanctuary during worship gatherings since being in the pews surrounded by people makes me uncomfortable. He called me over to look at the door that leads to the upper levels (that's blocked off). He told me to look at it and see if I could figure out what was wrong with it. After a minute or two, I spotted it. There was this high-quality lock on the door, but the hinges were facing outwards... so if someone wanted to get in, they could just pop the pins right out and remove the door.  Plus, the part of the door that the lock was holding shut was pretty much just a thin piece of metal attached to the door frame... easily removed. Good job school system (we meet in a school that's attached to an old church building)... good job...

Saw that movie called Home recently... Still not sure if I liked it or not. I thought it was going to be over several times during the movie and then each time it wasn't, I slumped back in my seat, thinking: "Oh... it's still going, is it? Oh well..."

So I got this book from the library, Star Wars: Death Troopers, because I remembered liking it when I read it a year or two ago. I recommended it to my little brother (age 12), and then started reading it myself yesterday, for the second time. I'm glad I did that before my brother kept reading... I totally forgot how brutal it is... wonderful writing, wonderful execution, but stang man, it's very graphic and there are multiple "references" to things he doesn't need to know about... Can't believe I read this when I was fourteen... I almost can't keep reading.  

O__O The feels when I email one of my mates to ask him how things are going with the girl he likes... and he responds to me in the group email that all the other guys are in... I'm guessing that was an accident...

Superhero movies, cartoons, and comic books all get old pretty quickly... They reuse the same villains over and over and over again. Sure, they introduce new characters every once and awhile, but a lot of them are just copies of old ones with new faces and backgrounds. And the villains always have the same motivations or type of motivations, the same schemes... And are all ultimately defeated. It's pretty dull.

Some people are wonderful conversationalists.... 

Me: "I finished reading two books today, A Taste of Red, by Lewis Harry, and The Iron Trial, by Holly Black and Cassandra Clarke."

Friend: "Cool."

Me: "They were both very well done."

Friend: "That's good."

Me: *sits in chair silently for a moment* "... That's all you got, mate?"

Ah! I hate this... I'll find books that have really cool titles, intriguing summaries on the book jackets, and nothing bad in my initial scan of it... then I'll start reading... and find the worst cuss-words available and/or sexual content... It just ruins it... This time I tried ignoring the incessant cussing, but after half a dozen f-bombs, two s-words, and a lot of d-words in just the first eighteen pages... Can't do it. >.<

The feels when you're at a youth event with your mates, and you go and sit with their parents because you can't handle the amount of frivolity in their interactions... and more of value is said by the adults in half a minute than the teenagers say in an hour... 

How many of you lot were here for Zackkevin12? 

So... I was reading a fantasy novel, and it seemed okay. Not the best, not the worst. Had a few problems with her writing, but I could overlook it. Then... suddenly... it was a romance novel and I was blushing... and then I decided I had another book for the bonfire.

I didn't miss anything.
