Ooooh, sounds cool! I've found that creating boards/picking out visuals can help a lot in cementing creative ideas, even if you don't have the faintest clue regarding the plot or characters at all. It's surprisingly effective. (^,^)
Yeah I have a huge digital pinboard with random ideas and such. It's aesthetically cool but idk how to turn it into A Thing.
Ay nice! Maybe just start writing down some ideas, characters, plots, themes, etc.. Even if you're not super-excited about what you're writing down, it could narrow down ideas that you especially like and make the project feel more real.
Roses. I know it's basic, but I kinda like how they're gorgeous and widely coveted but have these massive thorns, so that you have to treat them with some level of respect and caution.
I like that way of thinking about them.
Thank you. I'm beginning to enjoy romanticizing the mundane.
Well I personally refuse to be bested in tic tac toe, it's a matter of professional pride. My car didn't stop in time, and thus I ruined two vehicles and two people's days. Quite unhappy with what happened, but can't go back and fix it and I wasn't doing anything wrong, just bad traffic.

Dang, so much for that plan.
That's very unfortunate. At least no one was hurt, it sounds like.

It appears you are similarly CONvicted.
Yeah, there's much to be thankful for in the midst of all the tragedy. My car has remained driveable, so I am thus able to procrastinate repairs until I earn some vacation days at this new job hopefully.
That is 100% the best way, but I'm still impressed that The LEGO Movie managed it, I didn't even know it could be done.
I've only seen it done well once or twice.
Definitely, The Lego Movie was incredible for it's time, and still is, to be fair. I can't believe it's been a little over ten years since it came out.
Pray tell when this phenomenon took place?
Movies I love are getting old fast.
I believe "Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse" and it's sequel may have been some of the best forays into the multiverse I've seen yet.
Someone does indeed gotta do it, and it's better if it is someone who actually knows what they're doing. I'm sure they'll appreciate your service.
I certainly hope so. Next year I'll basically be getting the summer-camp equivalent of tenure; imagine if they fired me now.
Summer camp tenure? It is straining my credibility that something resembling this exists. That would be a cruel trick indeed if they ripped that from under your feet.
That's very unfortunate. At least no one was hurt, it sounds like.

Sometimes, however it's biggest fans are also It's biggest critics ironically. I've got that point many times. And then it feels like you have to relearn stuff you thought you knew. I've been on the same belt for over a year now while others have moved up a couple belts during that time. So it's also one of those things where everyone has to take it at their own pace as well.
*cough cough* Star Wars Fanbase could relate *cough cough* Do the belts tend to progess slower towards the top?
And yet I look back on it with such rose-tinted glasses. I'll add time-management to the list.
Most people do. I learned in one of my psych classes that apparently children grow up with a chemical compound that makes their experiences feel extremely safe and happy for a certain number of years. That's why even many childhood abuse survivors look back on most of their childhood memories with strong positive emotional connotations. ☝️ Excellent.
Makes sense, but it's a little scary we have that. We're getting brainwashed by our bodies. It's crazy to think it's all over, we'll never get to live that part of our lives again. You do really have to try and enjoy your time being a kid, like all the adults said back then. Cause there's no redos, and you'll miss not having bills later.
I am afraid that I will soon be the stereotypical parent and become out of the loop, I had to stop CONsuming them due to their unfortunate tendency to include rather not child-friendly language.
Saaaaaame. I don't want to become a cringey boomer who doesn't get pop culture linguistics. (;- That's why I'm still trying to keep my eye on the trends and such. Hopefully I can stay in the loop for at least another decade.
You should be good for a while. I am doomed, though. No matter what my kid will think I'm an old and out of touch.
Hopefully your pain will fade with time and eventually you'll see him and be like "Aww, what a nice and sweet guy! I hope he has a good day and has quit teaching painting."
Ooh tough question...I think I'll go with one of my philosophy classes. It was discussion-based, and a complete waste of time (this was my last three hours of the nine hours required my college and I was over it) so I sat in the back and read the homework during the class. I think I got a B+.
Give me like four years and I'll get there.
Oooof, those can really be hit-or-miss. Sitting in the back is always smart. Sometimes you end up with the obnoxious people, but if you're just looking to survive, it's practically like a cozy hidey-hole. Niiiice XD
By then you probably won't be seeing him regularly though, so it won't do any good.
Yeah, I tried not to get too comfortable back there though, a lot of underachievers putting in minimal effort in the back row. Didn't want that to rub off on me.

Yes, and that's about the end of that.
That's good. What kind of damage did it sustain?

Now it is. What if we made it bigger, like 4 x4? I'm sure somebody has to have tried this, I'm just not sure it would improve the tic tac toe experience.
My lights, bumper, hood and front grill are all in less than optimal condition. Shouldn't be too expensive of a fix, right?
Basically I'm planning on becoming a youth pastor. Perhaps with some youtube on the side as well
Nice! Would the YouTube channel be related to what you you would be doing as a youth pastor or would that be about different stuff?
It would sorta be just fun stuff, whatever I feel like doing, RN I'm making my first videos about the lore of a game I play, and after that I want to make short video essays about various Christian bands, since that's a niche not a lot of other people talk about.
Excellent.
