I don't think you need to have deep conversations about books, but if it's something you enjoy as a hobby you should at least be able to identify why you liked or disliked a book

Not just books, any entertainment. I couldn't tell you why I like a good chunk of stuff I like
Beyond "it's fun"
Eh I'm like that with movies and TV shows and it embarrasses me and I'm trying to get better because I can go on for hours about why I like and dislike specific books but if you asked me what I thought about a movie I can only go 'I liked it' 'why' 'I don't know I just do'
I want to get better with that too
I thought of when I was in sixth grade and I confessed to the school counselor that I was thinking of killing myself through electrocution and she had to tell my mom and I begged her not to since I knew Mom would either react really harshly or not care in the slightest but she said she had to and I had no say in it so I was dreading going home that day and when I did and put everything away Mom called me into the kitchen where she was washing dishes and I told her I felt like I was in trouble when I didn't even do anything wrong and she told me that I shouldn't think so rashly just because things are bad for me right now because the thing about life is that you only get one and she doesn't want me to do something like that because I won't regret it, because I won't be alive anymore to think things like that anymore, so I shouldn't start thinking about doing something I can never take back, and I remember that conversation because I feel like it was one of the only times when she was being genuinely real with me, for other serious issues she abides by a strict 'live and learn' policy but this time she was literally like 'your life is not a joke and you shouldn't treat it as such' and it started to sober me up that my mom, who normally let me do whatever I wanted even to the point of letting me drink vodka should the opportunity arise, was being legit serious and stern and it was a side I've only seen of her that one time. Obviously I'm happy I never went through with it because I think of how much my life's improved and everything I would've missed out on if I had done it...if that version of me could see me now, I think she would be very happy with what happened because in a way I achieved everything she wanted so desperately
I wish people would stop telling me to stop quoting Heathers because 'you don't know what's that's from' Dude I was basically raised on that movie, it's essentially my Bible, I knew about it way before any of you guys did' and I feel it's more mainstream now because of the musical and eighties nostalgia but I don't really quote anything super famous, I just quote it. Now I gotta watch Clueless just so I can quote something without having people be like 'you don't know what that is' I'm starting to think you don't fully know what the context of it is
I have no clue why but I'm sob-laughing at the fact some reviewer on Twitter said they found the book The Poppy War boring and 'couldn't relate' and everyone is going after them for being a basic white person and going super hard on white culture even white people are roasting this reviewer and it's some of the funniest things I've ever read
Me: "I mean the opening to Kakegurui is fine, it's just not particularly memorable or interesting for me to hear constantly," Me when the song comes on: *instantly becomes a stripper*
(I feel like I made this joke before)
I'm really digging this new fall theme
I really should get around to watching Kakegurui at some point anyway because the animation and style itself is fantastic and I'm genuinely curious if it's one of those animes that's perverted trash that's so bad people watch it anyway to poke fun at it or if it's a genuinely good and deep show with interesting characters because from what I've heard of it it could really go either way
Fall theme?It certainly is a neat concept at least
Yeah the apples and fall pictures on the group's page It's got that one animation style I love where the characters themselves are super detailed and cutesy yet they make grotesque faces. It's nice to see a more mainstream show do stuff like that because the only other anime I can think of that did that that became a bit mainstream was Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai that had stuff like the girls looking genuinely dehydrated and exhausted after throwing up on the 'camera'
That just reminds me of whenever I think of TheMysteriousMrEnter talking about this one Adult Swim show he was like 'are people just being sarcastic when they this is a really deep and funny show?' because that's Mom's reaction whenever I tell her people feel the same way about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Ohh I didn't notice thatWhat show was he talking about?
I don't know anything about JoJo but it annoys me with how much people talk about it

12 Oz. Mouse I think Mom admitted she's made her peace with the animation style which is what she was directly referring to there but has since admitted she's still turned off by it because of how long it is
I'd love to watch those longer animes but yeah there's simply not enough time >.>
I keep getting ads on YouTube for Ken Nunn who's a layer in my area I think and we have those ads on one of our buses and once my mom and baby brother were walking downtown and he saw one and asked if that was Donald Trump and Mom said he's way too hot to be Donald Trump lol
I was trying to sleep but what woke me up was my mom and middle brother arguing loudly right in front of my door about how he needs to stop posting on FaceBook that he wants to kill himself because she's sick of getting phone calls about it so it was just another day in the life of me
Whenever I get that ad for Starbucks nitro cold brew all I can think of is that 'when the cold brew hits' meme
I've never seen that but I'm an uncultured swine so :P
It's also from a terrible animated movie you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot-pole :P
What is it :P
Arctic Dogs :P
Oh gosh it looks terrible just from the poster :P
Really the only thing I remember from that movie was the fact part of the climax makes use of the fact the main character can blend into the snow because of his white fur, so he strips down naked and blends in but then falls down in a spread-eagle position revealing his tightey-whiteys :P That and the person who I saw review it said that someone walked out of it during their screening
I don't blame them :P
I only watched that review because of how bad the poster was lol
Me: "I have no interest in ever reading Serpent and Dove," GoodReads: "The author is from your state,"
Me: "I have all the interest in the world in ever reading Serpent and Dove,"
I've found if I sit and stand up straight with good posture it actually emphasizes my thin figure and my weird-looking stomach goes away, it only sticks out when I slouch so lately I've been sitting up straight and standing up straight every chance I get to give myself really good posture
I genuinely don't know why I keep giving my mom such a hard time. I keep backsassing her and arguing with her for no reason. I guess because I'm the kind of person who always has to blame something on anyone and she's just the person I can blame things on even when it's not even her fault. I know I'm very lucky and blessed to have someone like her who can talk to me about stuff and give me experiences other kids don't get to have with their parents. I don't really know how I can treat her better than I do. I always get upset with her and tell her she doesn't care about anything I'm interested in because she can't buy me specific things. And in some cases I think my annoyance at her is justified but most of the time I'm just looking for a way to get angry. She always asks what I want from the store when she goes grocery-shopping and once I was on a huge diet kick and told her spinach and bananas just to get her to leave because I heard spinach and bananas are great things to eat if you want to be healthier. A few days passed and I still ate barely anything and Mom came up to me genuinely concerned and asked me why I wasn't eating more especially because she bought me 'your bananas and spinach' and I remember being genuinely surprised she bought bananas especially since she's not a big fan of buying fruit randomly unless she's certain someone will eat it because of how quickly it can go bad and nobody really likes bananas here but she got me them because I asked for them. Another time she told me about a cosplay website that has high-quality costumes for cheap than they normally go for because she knew I was wondering a good place to get cheap ones and even said she'd get me one as a present. At the beginning of this year I told her I was feeling stir-crazy like I always do in winter because I rarely get out and winter gives you nothing to do anyway and she found a program guide for the parks around town and told me there's a lot of volunteer opportunities I could take and even specifically pointed to the ones where I could work with kids because she knows how much I love working with kids. Like, she knows so much about the stuff I want to do and the stuff that genuinely matters yet I get upset at her for not remembering some random detail from a show or book I told her a few weeks ago. She gave me the program guide and said: "There are many places you can complain of being stir-crazy at but never here in town," When I finally figured out how Hoopla worked she was really proud of me and genuinely congratulated me on finally taking advantage of ways to keep doing things I want to do not just during current events but for the future. I'm not even sure what my point is. I want to treat her better but it's hard when I want to blame someone and get angry at someone just to blame someone and get angry at someone, and also when I have other things to do and don't want to watch things with her, but I still feel like I could be doing so much more to make up somehow for everything I've said and done. I genuinely thought getting older would make me appreciate her more and give her less of a hard time but I feel I've gotten worse in that regard
I obviously don't know the full extent of your connection with her but from what you've told me, it only makes sense you get mad at timesd. Like how she won't go to the store even though you guys are going hungry. And doesn't do anything about your brothers being brats. And says a lot of mean stuff about things you likeIt's nice she does nice things for you but overall I feel she could do better
But again, I don't know the full story
I think a lot of that is just me starting it, or her genuinely not realizing what tone she's saying things with. She just says kinda whatever she wants
I told Mom my breasts have gotten bigger and she said it's because I gained weight from quarantine but it went to my breasts and I told her that was fine and okay, I'm perfectly happy with gaining weight if it's only there
Finally I got new earbuds
Mom got granola bars for the first time in forever and I got really excited and asked her how she knew I wanted granola bars because I've been craving them for a while and she was like 'I just knew, I walked past them and was super compelled to buy them for some reason'
God was playing Sims and told her to :P
She would say she sensed my desire for it :P
My brother will literally eat a whole box of granola bars in a day
I finally went through and deleted all of my group invites. I really did want to try and join some but out of 150 I was only able to salvage five or six that were still highly active enough for me to join. Obviously I wanted to join them, I wasn't just joining groups just to join them, but a lot of the ones I ended up joining were more focused on writing and I was really looking for an RP group. I found a few however I wanted more. I guess it's not really something people do on this site anymore which is a shame. Cleaning out all of those invites was almost therapeutic in a way though, like a detox. It's so surreal to see my groups at the top of the page now
I should probably do that too sometime
Remember when I actually posted in here constantly? Pepperidge Farm remembers. I still want to keep posting but I feel like as of late I've had very little to talk about
At least the search function has finally been fixed
I'm not bitter, but someone at my baby brother's school was tested positive for COVID-19 and the school took immediate action to isolate them and everyone they came into contact with. When someone at my school in fifth grade got swine flu however there was not a single peep made about it
A few people at my sister's school tested positive and they're doing...not really much.
Well you live in the South, I'm not surprised. My town is super liberal
Diet* South :P Virginia is more liberal than most of the South. We've had two Democrat governors in a row and our EC votes went to Hillary
Yeah but you still wouldn't see crossdressers openly walking out in the streets like you would here
Not in this area at least
Our neighbor's smoke alarm won't stop going off
