The Good News Thread

[Nine Volt]

my post count is finally down from 1088 or whatever it was since the spam thread doesn't exist and tbh I think that's a good thing so yr ae

I agree... Mine was nearly 4000 or something...

I still have a stupidly large amount for what this forum is. Although Kyoga now has more, so I'm ok with that. At least I don't have 6.5k anymore

Well LFP lost nearly 90% of his posts.

I lost 50%.
But I'm happy to have spent the other 50% of my old posts outside of the spam thread.

I lost maybe like around 75% of mine... The next step is to disable post counts in the off-topic forum...

Or just get rid of post counts altogether.

That works too. I feel like for new people the post counts turn into a power status or something.

Please keep the conversation about good news, and not what to do with the post counts.

Yes, we don't need this turning into the new spam thread.

On topic: one of my songs is going to be performed in concert for the first time in a very long while! It may not quite be the New York Philharmonic but, hey, I'm happy all the same.

[CaptainFluffatun]

I think having other people play your music is one of the biggest accomplishment you can have. That's awesome!

[JacksonMiller]

Well, only 4 people voted for my Candyland/Zak Waters remix, however Zak himself on twitter said that my remix was "doooooopppe" and also said it was "A+ material fa shooo!". Hopefully this means I might win ;)

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

I'm gonna head out in about an hour to go catch 47 Ronin with some of my highschool friends :D

It's been way too long since we did anything together.

On my way back home from the CCL.
Me and my girlfriend from the CCL hadn't yet talked about what our relationship is. Today, during the after-meditation (we do that a lot), a new guy who I've taken to get to feel comfortable (which has worked exceedingly well so far) brought it up in his increased confidence in engaging a conversation. So me and Azine thought about it, and called it "uhm". Because we can, because we want too, and because it fits the situation (she's polyamorous, and her other friend who she's in a relationship with is from the CCL as well).

It was so weird to once having been cuddling with Azine during after-meditation (we've been cuddling a lot last time around ^3^ ) with Nick (her other friend) walking in, yet amazingly it didn't make it any more awkward. Just weird xD
And she laughed when she told me he'd only disliked the fact I caused her to be late for her appointment with him, and didn't mind that we were cuddling.
Nick's a cool guy. Also an incredibly good conversational partner.

I kind of think I might be poly too, and I told her about it today. Of course dhe was interested (but in a way of "I'm happy for you"). I love how easily we can tell each other everything. I also love how she opens up near me, since she says to be kind of withholding with most people. For her to trust me enough means so much to me.
It's also nice how we're so incredibly much the same. Society believes us both to be weird (tagging us with diagnostics that aren't necessarily true), we both have weird interests, we're both bi, we're both poly (I believe), and we love life (so much more stuff though, too much that I care adding to this).



Life's a beach.

my book is supposed to be in today yay

I got a 4.0 on my first semester of Physics! I'm apparently tied for the top score in the class (pretty good seeing as the average age of the other students is 4-5 years older than me.) :3

Also I got an acceptance letter from one of the colleges I applied to (not my first choice, but not my last either) and they said they would give me 5,000 a year as a scholarship, ALONG with a guaranteed payed research position at their physics lab

Alycs why u so smart?

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

I found a bunch of vintage drum samples. There;s a ton of really nice oneshots, but on top of that I got some pretty awesome breakbeats :D

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

it also came with more tom samples than I know what to do with.

good news! bass is on its way :D

[Nine Volt]

I got some good news for you frick frackers!

I'm definitely moving up to AP US next year (and then probably AP World in senior year), from CPA (average level) US History 1 this year. I asked my teacher and she said she'd recommend me for AP. I found out this year that I'm really good at history (97-98 average for the year so far, which is my highest yearly average ever, no test grades below 98, and it's the only class I've done all of my homework for all year). Although to be fair I have a really easy teacher and this stuff interests me so it's quite easy.

On the bad side of things, my class got about 2 weeks behind because my teacher was involved in two car accidents and had appendicitis all in the span of a week which resulted in her being out for 2.5 weeks. It didn't help that most of my class just didn't care about anything and tried their hardest to get my teacher off topic. We just barely managed to get through everything we had to get through, and we had to finish up Monroe's presidency and get through John Quincy Adams' and Jackson's presidencies in 1 class right before midterms started (previously we'd spent 3-4 classes on each president). I'm going to ace my midterm pretty easily though
