Guys I don't know if I'm going to cut my hair and dye it or not-
I want to do it because I want to see myself with short hair plus blue hair in the end of it
But Also I'm afraid of do it
What I can do dang it!-
I am floating away, lost in a silent ballet.

Lenny: I wish you a safe and good journey!!!

Owl: I have nothing to offer but an internet hug ://

Emil: weheeeyyyy

Adrai: I didn't even realize there was another thing, but I wouldn't have recognized that soundtrack anyway. Glad your day was made!

Red Cloud: well, from my experience, changes to hair are anything but permanent. Hair grows back, dye washes out or can be dyed over..... If you wanna do it, do it.


I don't really have anything fun to say about my day today, it was mostly the same as friday - I helped out with room inspections. Except this time I was given a Cloth to clean dust and stuff with. Wheee

AND i was brave enough to ask for food in the kitchens to take with me home! and I got spaghetti for lunch so like. I got my pasta. not even garbage pasta.

edit: the only cutting board in the entire apartment is very small and shaped like a squirrel. at least the oven works

read as "trying to rip curtains away from the window and climb out of it while screaming and crying"... Because it keeps waking everyone else up- especially mum who shares my room, and she needs sleep the most -__-
Can't say that I have a real solution to offer, but did you try sleeping somewhere else in the house, just to keep your subconscious busy with "wait, this isn't my usual bed, where am I?" Maybe someplace with noticeably different noises (snoring, if need be)?

Other than that, ground floor and having the curtains removed beforehand seem sensible ...

Hey, sooo... I wasn't sure where to ask this, but how much interest would there be in helping me crowdsource a language? Now that sounds odd, and time-consuming, and hard, but... let me explain you a thing. It's easier than you'd think.

A while back, a friend of mine came online on Steam. In the spirit of friendship, I sent him a gobbledygook message. He responded in kind. We continued to banter back and forth with nonsense for a good 30 minutes, when we suddenly came to the realization that we were communicating. Without entirely meaning to, we fell into patterns of word choice and sentence structure that made sense! Of course, the conversation was odd, and there were irregularities, but we had created the basis for a language entirely unlike English in a matter of minutes.

So I'm curious - I need to create quite a few languages for my universe, and I was wondering if anybody would be interested in participating, using a similar method. I dunno, just thought it could be fun.

Anyways, may you all have days to the level of your expectations, and beyond!

Haiz I would like to see such a cutting board O vO
The only ones I've ever seen are rectangular. A squirrel-shaped cutting board actually sounds kinda fun.

Maybe do you want to start a thread in the Languages board?

Thought about that, but wasn't sure if that would be the right place? Or if it would be good for me to start a new thread without asking first *still has no idea what forum etiquette on the matter is*

...ooooo~ o 3o
I'm pretty sure it's a squirrel too lol
I mean, if you rotated it a certain way it might look like an oozing blob ghost...but it seems rather unlikely that that's what was in mind when this board was made xD
Still, that's super neat! Though like I said, I've never seen a cutting board any shape other than a rectangle, so I'm probably biased xD

Yesyesyesyesyes please start this thread! I don't know what the etiquette on new threads is, but I want this too badly for it not to happen! I will totally help with language creation! And I may have prior experience with that sort of thing. ;)
