I still have school. You could do my work. :p

Actually, you can read books, watch movies, bake, or argue with people here for hours.

Understandable. We’ve all been there. Just be patient. It’ll pass eventually. Approach it from the very responsible angle of not wanting to put your loved ones in danger.

Personal suggestion as it has helped me: if you can do this and safely maintain distance, go to a local park, enjoy the sun and go for a walk. One hour a day, when permitted, helps deal with the effects of being cooped up.


Maybe I can go the park in the morning or evening hours since it's pretty crowded in the day. Plus it will be cooler in the early morning/evening :)

It’s all in what you make of it. Will you feel like a caged beast some days? Yep. Others? Not so much.

I’ve been watching bullet journaling videos of late. DIYing vids can help too. Learn a new language. I’ve been totally immersing myself in learning Gaelige (Irish). Bake. Learn a new dish from another country. Remote volunteering. Zoom with your loved ones. There’s a lot to do.

When you put it that way... you are right. I would like to re-learn Vietnamese. Maybe I can get my parents to re-teach me on video chat :)

See? There you go. And nothing beats learning a language than when you do it from native speakers. Get your sounds right and all.

So I've been watching my little cousin for the last two days, she likes the sleep over when auntie's in Jacksonville. She's decided to wake up at 5:30 to hang out with me super early but has also decided that she's to cool for trousers or shorts. I don't know why but I can only assume that Ethel is in some way to blame for this or she's getting ready for a zoom call.

If it’s pants insubordination, it’s Ethel’s fault 100% of the time.

This is what happens when you let preteens play game coolmath games, they somehow access your NS account and learn about a cat spreading the word of pantslessness.

What about old RP threads? Or are those not as interesting as tracking Reppy's kill count?

It's not about kill count. It's about ensuring I'm well versed on the rules as they are being enforced. That and sometimes it is kind of fun to read the insults people come up with to use against each other that prompted the report in the first place. The people of NS are nothing if not a very creative bunch.

I suppose I drop by Moderation once in a while for that reason, and also because there might be something of interest going on.

It's helpful, IMHO. But, really, I was bored and needed something more interesting to read than old RPs. Since you mentioned it, though, might begin to do that later.

My day is utterly ruined. I cannot believe what my girlfriend just said but it left me utterly disgusted, like I wanna vomit.

It wasn't about me. It was what she believes regarding a certain social issue and Jesus christ I think she's gone crazy

Probably but all I had was $10 in cash since I don’t have a bank account anymore so I had to actually leave my house, which I didn’t want to do but I need my nuggies and chimichangas since our freezer and fridge are a bit bare atm.

Eh, it happens I guess. Wish my brother would get replacement filters for his M17 mask to make any future venturing out safer since they’re NBC filters.
