I just was curious

I know at least three people who don't know what Instagram is.

Damn

Yup.

Hey I’m new here, I’m fifteen years old, he/they/it pronouns (feel free to vary which ones you use, it gives me serotonin) and I’m just kinda introducing myself. Feeling funky this morning, kinda want to rewatch some old Monster High episodes. Anyways how are y’all doing?

Alright time for my spiel again. Here we go @lamer-gamer.
Hi! I'm Winter. I lived in Alaska and recently moved to South Carolina and overall I'm a good kid (hopefully)… Alaska just made me really tough. I always have time for you, just shoot me a PM. I can tell some stories from Alaska, just say the word and ask for something you think could have happened in Alaska. Go wild. I have plenty of crazy ones. I'm 17 and engaged, to a wonderful guy, and his name is Elias. Elias is American Nordic, and I call him a Viking. I'm American Scottish, as I lived in Scotland before Alaska. I belong to Clan Gunn. Ah, fun fact, I can go for a very long time without sleep, and I thrive in extremely cold temperatures. I'm forged of starlight, and blue ice and I am very adept in several forms of combat. Hand to hand, sword fighting, knife throwing, and close combat. Also archery. You name it I can probably do it. That's about it, if you have any questions, I'll answer them. I'm very open and willing to tell anything except very personal and private things. Such as my real name for starters. And welcome to Notebook! We're all insane here so join the party!

Amen to that. I was halfway through trying to explain Dom to my fiancé and he slipped in when I paused for breath and gave me this puzzled look and was just like, "What's a site dad?"
I love him, but he's insufferable.

I call being Molly Brown. I actually saw her Egyptian statuette in a museum once and holy crap it was so cool

What.

I'm a HUGE Titanic fan OK

Yes, Dom. I saw it. It was cool.

Why Egyptian statuette?

If I don't do this lab tonight I will only lose 3 points,.
I don't want to do this lab
I know I should
I know it's important but I just
No
I can't do this anymore.
I can't give my every waking hour over to school work, I just can't do it any more.
I want to do other things and make stuff with out feeling bad, I want to get more then 4 hours of sleep with out feeling guilty for sleeping in or not doing homework.
So, I'm sorry that I'm slacking on my Physics homework but really I'm not sorry. I need the time to come from somewhere and right now I just want to crochet a flower crown.
I need to breathe.

Classical education student here (If that means fucking anything, I suspect it doesn't BUT). When expected to do literally everything on your own shit gets tough, especially when suffering from mild ADD which stops me from focusing on any one thing for terribly long unless its extremely engaging. One thing I learned was that if you can't do anything prioritize, you are not a machine you are a human and you require rest, leisure time, and working time just like everybody else. If you can't get everything done do it in chunks, I am currently behind on Natural Science, Latin, Sacraments and Apologetics, and Math. But seeing as I can't catch up in all of those subjects at once, I am going to tackle Natural science today, and Sacraments and apologetics tomorrow while doing some math on top of that.

Don't try to do everything at once, it kills you slowly.

Sitting in school and we all just heard something that was definitely a gunshot- none of the teachers seemed that concerned tho?? ✌️😬

Is there any construction nearby?

Yikes. Stay as safe as possible. I hope everything's alright.

Nope.

Imma go for a bit but thanks and I'll try to stay safe!

Well. Be aware of the exits in relation to where you are.

Is your school near some woods? It’s hunting season now.

Why Egyptian statuette?

Have you not heard that story?

Oh that happens in my school all the time. I know it sounds weird, but they won't call any code and there's a bunch of police officers who are equipped with like blanks and false guns that have the ends filled, and they'll do active shooter drills. As if it was a real scenario. If not tho, find a very large text book and cover your chest with it as much as you can. And bring your knees up to your chest making youself as small as possible, and protecting you internal organs. If you can get in a corner and find something to protect your head, that's an added bonus. Stay safe out there. I'm rooting for ya.

I've heard about this. It's unethical. I'm sorry for anyone who goes to a school that practices this.

What's active shooter drills?

Yeah, personally, as someone who's been around a lot of shootings, I don't think that's okay.

What's active shooter drills?

Basically firing off fake guns as to simulate there being an active shooter in the area.

Oh, so not just banging on the door during a lockdown?

What's active shooter drills?

It's where they make it seem like there's an actual shooter in the building, by firing fake rounds, calling a lockdown, and sometimes there are even actors involved. Teachers and definitely students generally aren't aware of it being a drill.

No. That sounds like a regular lockdown drill.

I don't think we have those in Texas…

They shouldn't have them anywhere, it causes unnecessary trauma on students, and causes them to be more fearful rather than prepared.
