Skippity bop
Y’all need to stop
^
I agree, enough has been said.
Compared to some of the other places on CC, I’m pretty sure this whole thread is fairly down to earth. We can all be chill, yo. :o
Also, @awesomepolyglot , that potoo is an amazing thing. I need more potoo in my life.
This is where I see all of us in 3.5 years
@awesomepolyglot the pacifist and school president
@OMPursuit the hard worker who wiill be stuck with explaining to me what a college application is
@adiacs the academic with perfect stats and on the varsity soccer team (idek why, thats what I thought of when I saw your profile pic)
@IrrationalPepsi captain of the debate team and having the best hair out of any of us
@ShatteredEyes the pretentious book club president and violinist (again, idk why violin)
@manspeak2u the guy who is good at starting conversations and who will have taken 13 aps
@IAmNotCreativ the advisor/good friend who always knows what to say
@neophite I used to play soccer so you were sorta right(:
@neophite Ahaha, I love explaining things to people, so that sounds about right 
I wouldn’t be so harsh on @ShatteredEyes , though. She’s got something of a point in that there’s a self-selected majority of high achievers on this site, and that group is prone to talk about their achievements really casually.
I’m in this category, I think, because I often do this too. :S
I don’t feel it’s really bad, and I think it’s more of a camaraderie thing than a bragging circle. However, for @ShatteredEyes specifically: if it makes you uncomfortable, you should say it straight. People will be more likely to react considerately.
Edit: I’m also a violin nerd/book dweeb, so, er… o.o
@neophite Eh, I feel as if I would be an activist for something. I love reading, just not the stuff “normal” people read cough cough String instrument huh? Eh, I played the bass and guitar, I was “Eh” at best.
I feel like I will be, well, way out there. Something STEM related for sure.
People will think I am crazy, but oh well. People hate and fear what they can’t understand or explain.
@awesomepolyglot You seem like my friend Lyrics, so passive. She does not like her associates fighting. She is helpful at times, but passiveness can only get you so far in today’s society.
OVO I will be up all night because I am a night owl,
I hope you guys had a great Saturday filled with sweets and niceness!
@ShatteredEyes @OMPursuit lol, I played classical violin for 6 years, but I switched to the electric violin 2 years ago 
@neophite Waaat. Electric violin? So cool!
I think I want to try 3D-printing one of those. That would be the actual best, and I’d get to learn all about violins, too. :3
@ShatteredEyes Sleep is for the unoccupied! :o
My Saturday was very unoccupied, and therefore I slept until long after noon.
Pacifist and school president @neophite you’re hilarious. I’m probably more likely to kick somebody who says something homophobic and then go hide in a biology classroom.
@ShatteredEyes I don’t like fighting, but in no way am I passive. That being said, I’m very protective and yell “fight me” a lot.
@ShatteredEyes I think it was just nice for us to get that out of our system, since we will (hopefully) be spending the next 3.5 years together. That being said, do you realize that you say “Eh” A LOT. I never noticed it until now ;

Oor Minnesotan, yeah?
@neophite violin’s great and all, but the viola is better.
Also, I love my whiny breadbox. Going from violin to viola must be like being a parent after your kid starts puberty. 
@OMPursuit I’ve read that page dozens of times.
Once, a violist left during class to go to the bathroom. She returned to the stage on which the class was held to find that the class was finishing a section of a piece. The teacher then called out, “Play measure 84 to the end.” The violist and her stand partner played measure 84 to the end, but it didn’t sound right. The two violists were left scratching their heads-they had been playing Holst, but the violins sounded like they were playing Mozart.
Me. I’m the violist. We were playing the wrong piece. The other violists were not. The teacher stared at us and then started laughing. People started yelling viola jokes.
So there’s going to be a private LGBT school in Alanta K-12. What are your thoughts? I’m curious to know what you guys think since some of you are LGBT.
Personally, I think it’s a dumb idea. I mean, how are 5 year olds supposed to know if they’re gay not? Or anyone below middle school for that matter. I also feel like it’s going to segregate the kids, I see why they think separating gay and straights kids is a good idea, but that’s not how it is in the real world. They’re gonna grow up with the idea that LBGT(I really don’t know the order of the letters sorry) and heterosexual kids should be separate. It’s kinda like the separation of colored and white schools, just not as drastic.
What the what o.o
That’s an… interesting idea! I think it’s going to cause a lot more problems than it solves for the younger kids. Although, creating a place where LGBTQ+ kids can be open about their sexuality without persecution in the South is pretty rad. If they want to be around people with similar sexual interests, I don’t see why they should be dissuaded at all.
Highschool, maybe upper middleschool? Sure!
Lower grades, it’s a funny question. I do know that kids might do non-‘gender appropriate’ things in that time, but I’m not personally sure if that’s indicative of what’s to come. Having facilities in place for people who’d be otherwise harassed is a fine thing, though.
Edit: Indicative is best word
Does anybody here play the oboe?
