What’s Shakin’, Bacon? (General chat thread)

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

What’s shakin’, bacon?
How are you?
What’s new?
How’s life?

However you say it, tell us about you, your day, your life, or whatever!

Whenever you need to just rant or spill or just chat, come find an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, and a friend to laugh and joke with and to just ride this incredible roller coaster we call life with you — the type of friend you can find in the greatest group ever! (Maybe I’m a little bit biased, but you get the point! XD)

In all seriousness, though, there are tons of people in this group who are willing to just listen — not just me. All you have to do is speak. . . . Or I guess, in this case, type!

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Okay, so I’ve noticed no one has commented at all on this thread, so I just want to clarify something:

This chat is basically a general chat thread for you to just chat whatever! I did intend for it to be for you to just talk (or rant) about you, your day, whatever you’re going through, and the like!

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

So with that being said . . .

How is everyone doing? Everyone doing good? Or is there something you’re upset, stressed, angered, or sad (or any other emotion!) about?

School has started, and it’s a lot harder than last year, that’s for sure! I don’t know…I just want to get out of the school because I’ve been here for 9 years. I’m around the same people all day, in the same halls, doing the same stuff…Yeah. Sports are starting up now too. My volleyball team won our tournament this weekend! Soccer is going strong too. We haven’t started our season, but we got bumped up to the highest division in our regional league, so it should be hard but invigorating! Life’s just busy, I guess.

Yeah. Sorry for that ramble, but it helps getting the thoughts out.

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

That’s okay!! That’s why I created this thread — as a way for people just to get their thoughts out! :)

[IshyaDolphin]

School is starting tomorrow and I’m going to a new one. A little scared but my parents still haven’t taken me school supply shopping. Can’t wait till tomorrow? Reading helps though so I’m reading until we go. I have to go but I’ll write tomorrow so you know what happens.

Ishya

[Emary]

Good luck!! That must be very unnerving! I hope all things go well and that you thrive in your new school :)

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Yes!! Good luck! I remember when I switched schools; I too was very nervous! Having gone through it though, I’ll just tell you to be yourself! You don’t need a bunch of friends—just a couple good friends who are as close as family!

Keep reading, if that’s what helps you get through this all!

Keep us posted, Ishya!! We are here for you! :)

[IshyaDolphin]

I went to school and it wasn’t as bad as people say it is in the books. I think that I’ll have a great year this year!!!

Ishya

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Yay!! I’m so glad you had a good experience!!

(And I definitely think books overdo that, just for the sake of drama/conflict.)

[Emary]

Very true. I’m glad it went so well!

[Lita]

So today was was second day of the school and i was reading beatween my clases and people wher making fun of me, i mean, they don't think bad they just think i'm crazy.

[Emary]

I’m the same exact way, don’t worry

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Same here!

Don’t worry too much about; everyone will be made fun of for something at least once in their life. However, I’d speak up if they were really hurting your feelings or worse.

[Lita]

No, idc but i'm sad that they think reding is worst thing ever

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Oh!

Well, maybe they just need introduced to a really good book! :)

[Lita]

They don't even want to try. But im proud that they ak me for rec when we had to read any book for school.

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Well, I guess that's a start

[IshyaDolphin]

Yeah that is. I’m sorry you got laughed at for READING!! It’s what everyone does but honestly everyone has a bit of crazy within them and I think that I’m the craziest of them all. I’m settling into school so let’s hope homework isn’t as bad as the parents say it is. The teachers and students seem nice and I’m happy about that. What about you Lita?

Ishya

[Lita]

I'm so sad but happy this is my last year with all of this peole and i will need to chouse high school. Everyone says that 8th grade is easyest so i hope for it but for now everything is going realy goood.

Actually, most of my classmates dislike reading. One boy, Shivesh, in my 6th std, has probably never read a good book in his life. I'm not saying this to be mean, but he is the worst. He keeps pushing the girls and pulling their hair. He shoved one of my friends into a desk, and I punched him in the face. Luckily, there was only minimal blood.

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Umm. . . .

[Liana]

Hey everyone :)
I wrote a short prose fiction for a Uni application, and wanted feedback on it.
I was wondering if any of you would like to read it and give me some feedback on it.
I'm worried it's not like "university level" writing. But at the same time I shouldn't worry about that cause it's for a creative writing degree.
Anyway if any of you are interested, send me a message and I'll send you the google docs.

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

Hi Liana!!

I’m willing to read it for you! :)

I can’t pm you since your account is private, so could you pm me instead? My account is public!

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

**I'd like to remind everyone that this thread is really a random thread. Although I created it for you to just talk (about your day, your life, whatever it is you're going through and are willing to share), it's really just a "random conversations" thread.

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

So with that being said, . . .

Hi!

How is everyone? Tell me about your day! What's going on in your life? It doesn't have to be exciting. Life isn't always going to be exciting, but we're here to just listen! :)

I'm so sorry you had a bad day! I hope today is better. I would encourage to continue with college, especially if you like what you're studying. As depressing as it sounds, but friends will come and go. I'm also in college, and I've kind of lost contact with some of my friends from high school, so I do kind of know how you feel.

However, no matter what you do, like Serena said, we are here for you! And even if it's the middle of the night, I'm sure someone will be online (because of time zones). And if not, someone will be able to respond within a couple hours. :)

So, long monologue short, we're here for you! :)

I hope your friend gets better soon! And I hope you find someone else to hang out with!

May I ask why you and your friend hate the other girl?

I’m sorry; I didn’t realize that you were online! Yeah, that would make it difficult. But if you can make friends throughs goodreads, I’m sure you can make at least one friend! :)

This thread has been dead for a while. . . . :\

How are all of you??? Hope you are doing okay. :)

[Camille]

I’m doing okay, school started yesterday for me. It’s a lot, or will be soon. I have an algebra review test on Monday already, ugh. Band is soooo chaotic now, the new kids are crazeh. My teachers all know me from my mom and sister so it’s kinda weird but they are all super nice and funny. My best friend has been to close lately and I need some space, but I don’t want to cut her off completely. Any suggestions on how to do that in a nice way?

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

School already? Best of luck! :)

Oof, I'm not sure about your friend. Maybe try to hang out with a group of friends along with your best friend. That way, you aren't excluding your best friend but also hanging out with others.

I'm honestly not sure though. . . . This is just a tough situation. Sorry I'm not much of a help. :\

[Kayla Grace]

Y'all should have a share your reviews folder.

[Kayla Grace]

OH MY GOSH I just found the thread for that so sorry!

[[deleted user]]

Heyyyy everyone!

[Graceful Reader]

Hi everyone! Since this is about the book nerdiest group of people I can get, which I love, where can I sell some books(either online or a store)?

[MarleyTheDragon]

Half priced books!!! They don’t give very good prices though.

[Graceful Reader]

I've never heard of that one before, but I'll look into it, thanks!

[Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor, Creator, Head Mod, Book Nerd #1]

you can also try thriftbooks! :)

[Graceful Reader]

Oh, I've heard of that! But I couldn't find out how to sell them on there! thx!

[Camille]

I too recommend Halfpriced books, but only for buying books. Selling them isn’t worth it there. Horrible prices for selling but buying there is amazing!

[Brooke]

I borrowed the book Dune from my boyfriend over a year ago and still haven’t finished it :/ I told him I’d finish it by the end of this year. Imma go read it right now.
