Thirty-Seventh Thought: I Wish I Can Dance

It's not even the fact that I'm clumsy and I have stepped on many boys' feet before, it's just my tendency to forget steps. I don't remember choreographies and I can't do something over and over again. Even if I write with a pencil for a long time, the pencil starts to move in wonky ways. I probably won't be able to work at assembly lines because I'll be fine...until a certain amount of time.
I think it's my free soul that just wants to do what it wants.
I've taken some dance lessons and I try to follow videos on the Macarena (I hope that's how it's spelt. I'll be back if it is incorrect), but I always screw up. I will try again and I'll be fine for a good amount of time before I forget or can't follow a dance.
Dancing looks so cool and I know it takes a lot of practice, but it's just not for me. Writing and drawing will always be my thing.

    ValKree Oh no. I don’t feel productive. 😂 My writing dedication to one or select stories is “productive.” But my life is anything but that.

    Yes and no. The info about codes if there is you want to share. But promoting on forum is a no-no because everyone already is on WN so it defeats the purpose. Also, I just don’t want spammers on your lovely thread. 😁

        Chryiss I know, and I think that's still great. If I can't be productive in life, I would like to be productive with my writing at least...but nope! I'm very wishy-washy.

        I never used codes, but I do know that it's meant to invite others who do not have WN. I think invitation codes for most applications also work like this. It's a bit annoying to see spammers, yes, but I also find it slightly funny. Awww my thread is nothing much. Spammers will be buried with my own posts sooner or later.

        (I'm planning to start another thread similar to this diary format, however, I'm an uninteresting person.)

          Thirty-Eighth Thought: Am I Already a Year Old here?

          It seems that I had an account on WN for a year now, but the thing is I didn't touch it until November of 2019? Somewhere around there...Ah, the time I've lost. Also, I discovered there is a badge for being registered for a decade? Damn, if I am still here after three years, that's already my maximum. XD

          Thirty-Ninth Thought: Puns!

          My current best friend loves puns and we call him "Pun Master (fun master)". I also like puns and our general friend circle like puns too...except one girl. This story happened just yesterday in Calc class.

          Friend 1: Hands a piece of paper to friends who hate puns. The paper had a drawing of a bee and it said: "You are sweet"
          Friend who hates puns: Did you waste paper to make this horrible pun?
          Friend 1: Show the others!
          Friend 2: Peeks Oh, honey, isn't that a great thing?
          Friend who hates puns: Another one!
          Friend 3: Your words sting our hearts.
          Friend who hates puns: Facepalms
          Friend 2: I can't bee-lieve you hate puns!
          Friend who hates puns: ...
          Me: You have to admit, it was a great pun made on the fly!
          Friend who hates puns: Does a double take You're in this too?
          Me: Don't hive it, you secretly buzz with joy inside!

            Fortieth Thought: Dance Class for Phys Ed

            If you scroll up a bit, I have stated that I cannot dance although I try and wish to. Well, I got great news yesterday. In three days, after the weekend, a dance instructor will be coming in to teach us a dance. I forgot the name, but it starts with an 'a'. I'll have to pay $2 and my remaining dignity...I can't wait (totally sarcasm).

            Forty-First Thought: Writing in All-Caps

            In grade 9 English class, I had to proofread a classmate's rough draft of her essay. I almost died upon seeing she writes everything in capitals and I wondered whether she does this with tests and other stuff. My eyes were already poor, but after seeing her handwriting for the first time, I went crosseyed for a good minute. For the rest of the day, my eyes twitched whenever I saw any handwriting.
            The other problem was that she did not indent to show the start of new paragraphs. All I could see was a wall of capital letters written with a pink gel pen. I also hate pink so I felt the urge to rip her paper, but that would have been cruel. Cruel and insulting, so I meditated in the lotus position on my chair.
            Sigh...when being friends with two people did not work out. I edited her whole essay after having the teacher ask me how we were doing. If the teacher had not asked, I would have pretended to read every word to find fewer mistakes. The things I did in that class for good marks...

            I also hate seeing 'all capital' comments online. It's so obnoxious and uneccessary. Exclamation marks exist for a reason, but should not be abused either.

            Forty-Second Thought: Favourite Number

            Mine is 1101, what about yours?
            I have seen many 8's and 1's but my favourite number is a 4-digit number.

              Chryiss For me, it started as a silly thought from when I was a kid (too embarrassing to share 😳😳😳), but I grew to like it as an adult too hahaha

                Chryiss That's interesting. I've gotten about 50 answers online, but only 3 people said 9. I consider that rare XP
                I wonder how others choose favourite numbers....

                  ValKree They do feel hurt though. Thank you for being so nice to the trees. They'd really be happy if you spoke to them too!

                      Forty-Third Thought: Thread Ideas I would Like to Try Here, but Would be Quite Bothersome

                      I've started threads for small/daily activities on other site forums and here are some ideas that I might want to try, but I am too hesitant to start on WN's forum. I have to be cautious of time and interest. This forum is a bit dry compared to others, which is fine if I am never bored.
                      1. Would You Rather: This one is a favourite because there are so many fun prompts. Many people have answered them because it's this or that. Reading the reasoning behind choices are so interesting because many consider loopholes to have the best of both worlds.
                      2. Daily writing prompts: I have posted daily prompts for others to try. Most of them start with dialogue and others continue the conversation, but some have been about creating new characters or creating a story based on a prompt.
                      3. Building a World Together: We all have different worlds and characters and sometimes, we would want to share our kingdoms and realms. I have done this once. The result was short one-shot collabs between interested creators that may or may not have been published...ehuehue
                      4: Describe Something in 3-5 Words: As it says, a sentence or concept is given daily and all participants have to do is describe the thing in 5 words. It's quick, simple and yields many different answers.

                      There are more ideas, but those require more people and time. I don't think they will stand a chance here.

                        ValKree Your ideas are cool. Kind of like Chryiss's battle character game. I think it's something that could possibly start and finish on the day, so it's enjoyed at its highest.

                        I think WN forum is cool for the fact we have a lot of vocal readers here too. So generic kind of games to involve readers and writers might do just as well.

                        Like, peeps, you have 5 minutes to find a book title on the Trending Originals list that doesn't have a colon (:) in it. Then everyone comments back in with their list of titles that they had discovered of that kind, in that time frame.

                            Veronica8 thanks, I've been procrastinating by starting these 'fun' threads on other forums but I probably won't start here. They do yield great results though.

                            Chryiss's battle game is fun to read, but I can't imagine putting together a similar event. Kudos to whoever tries roleplaying though.

                            Oooh your activity seems fun, but the time frame won't work well if participants are not online. I rarely interact with others when they are online because I always miss them.
                            By the way, the prompt you gave was interesting.

                                ValKree I think the first one you listed might work. And if you wanted to give it longevity, then just make a simple this or that game.

                                    Chryiss Yeah, I'm testing it out on two other forums. So far, well received (At least 20 participants after two prompts).

                                    That's quite a lot for me, but WN forum I noticed seems to be very formal. Rarely are there highly interactive activities. These threads live longer when readers and creators see and are interested in it.
