Did you know that you can look up shows available for licensing? I didn't until recently, and for some reason it feels like ~forbidden knowledge~, but anyway, check it out:

I find it particularly interesting to read how they describe the casts ("Cosette is Fantine’s strong-willed, loving daughter. She is an intelligent, inquiring, personable girl; she is not in any sense a sappy, romantic heroine" - whatever you say, MTI) and am amazed by what there are school/junior versions for. (Guys and Dolls, really?)

Pertinent to this blog, there's also a handy search function with categories you can filter by.

You know, if you want to see if anyone has made a country/bluegrass fantasy musical yet (not yet, according to the search, though I did just learn there's a show called Snow White Goes West).

Anyway, I just think it's neat.

Things Hylnyan not allowed to do as of 6.35

(Hylnyan not back at full strength at moment aka within the levelling strength of DRK and RDM lvl 66~. I don’t do extremes, savages and Ultimate from SB and up to begin with. Mildly influence by the Artoria list)

Tataru indicates that failure to follow the terms would result in removing Hylnyan from her island and Othard traveling privileges revoked and be confined in Ishgard until full recovery. Aymeric has requested her company and he would like a set of this leather armour that he heard Ser Handeloup talking about. The Firmament will always welcome her helping out. There will be enough work in Ishgard to keep her out of trouble.

3 Easy Steps to Change the World!!!

I love getting clickbait-y with my titles!!

I'm not sure what causes any of us to stay silent when all we want to do is speak up. It feels crappy and if you're anything like me, you get a regret hangover that lasts weeks, if not months or years. Sometimes, keeping your mouth shut is just about the worst thing you can do for your health.

From my experience, I'm not alone in feeling this way at times. We want to say something, we even form the words in our heads, but for some reason, we don't. I'm not a fan of this as a practice. Like I said, it gives me an emotional and physical headache and the "What if" tape in my head can roll on for quite a while afterward: What if we spoke our minds? What if we gave them something to think about? What if we changed the freakin' world? I'd like to get to the bottom of why we choose not to do this and what we can do to cut it out, listen to ourselves, and speak up. After some very un-scientific research, here's what I think gets in the way:

1. Fear of not being cool. Call this whatever you want: getting ridiculed, belittled, or getting called some serious words if you are a lady saying something someone does not like, but it basically boils down to the same thing: in general, we do not want to make waves or enemies. To get past this, I like to take some advice from one of my heroes Audre Lorde and ask myself, If I speak up, what's the worst that will happen? Most of the time, once I say that thing (out loud) to myself, it's not nearly as scary as I made it in my head.

2. Fear of being misunderstood. Ugh. This one really sucks. I have this theory that when we talk about something we really care about, the chance of our words being misconstrued just multiplies. Think about it: who could misunderstand, "I'd like a #3 with large fries and a Diet Coke"? Easy way to communicate, but definitely not changing the world. My trick for this is to practice on people who know you well and who have earned your trust. If you have the luxury of knowing when you'll speak about something beforehand, tell your friend a few of your points and ask if you seem to be getting your message across. It's much easier to be vulnerable in front of people we already know and love, and it builds up our tolerance for letting those fiery feelings in us out into the open.

3. Fear of being wrong. What if you do speak up and someone reads you exhibits A through Z of why your idea is completely invalid? Trick question. Each person on this planet has something unique and important to offer, whether it be a talent, a skill, or an idea. Sure, you could wait to share it until you had watched every documentary, read every book, and gathered every peer-reviewed article on the subject, but that day when you feel completely, 100% sure you can share your thought without dissent will probably never come.

Because when you're meant to say something, you know. You have a physical reaction, like the pit-of-my-stomach feeling that I get. Your truth might live in tingly fingertips, crazy bouncing knees, or a thumping heart. These thoughts, in these moments, are what we need to know. We, as the world, need to hear them. Speaking on behalf of humanity here, when you get that feeling, please let it out.

You Know You're Pregnant When...

1. You literally dreamed about food last night.

2. You find tears shedding from your eyes because you're A) too hungry, B) too hot/uncomfortable, C) some other trivial circumstance, and D) your spouse looks at you with doe eyes in sympathy when they realize you're not kidding, this situation is serious.

3. You lose track of how many times you use the bathroom in 24 hours.

4. You start rubbing your belly (There's actually a reason pregnant women do this, isn't there? Whenever you're bloated, it's as therapeutic as a back massage!)

...or asking for belly rubs, like Winnie the Pooh, or something.

5. That dress that was knee-length and used to be kind of loose is now a hoochie skirt. Oops. Time to go shopping.

For my weekly seminar, we got an email with a link to a survey next week's speakers want us to complete beforehand. And there are some strange, seemingly unrelated questions on there. Take a look at them, with some of my responses under the bolded questions.

Please list any questions about this survey here. (This was the first question of the survey after entering your name...)

What is your highest achievement to date?

Describe your best friend since coming to Davis in one word.

What is your favorite type of weather and why?

What is your least favorite part of school?

What is your favorite chemical compound?

What would you talk about in a graduation speech?

What is your favorite thing to do in Davis, CA?

On which floor of the library do you prefer to study?

Describe a specific person who you dislike.

If a group of people is entering Miller Hall (our residence hall), who should hold the door open?

Describe your computer or phone background picture. Dirk Strider from Homestuck riding Applejack from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Roughly what percent of stop signs do you fully stop at whilst riding a bike? 98.

What do you think about before going to bed?

Describe one vivid memory about an elementary school teacher. In first grade, after lunch and recess, we'd sit with our heads down and the lights off for a while. One day during this time, a guy was doing something with his pencil and our teacher got really mad and grabbed the pencil and snapped in half.

What is the run time (in minutes) of your favorite movie?

What is the most recent illegal thing you have done? (This is the only question that did not have the asterisk requiring you to answer.)

About what topic did you write your favorite college admissions essay?

Describe how you got a scar. I was playing a game in PE that was involved multiple footballs and basketball hoops and a girl scratched my hand with her ridiculously sharp fingernails while we were both trying to grab a ball.

Describe the proper rules of traffic in a bike circle.

How did you rank your IST classes for winter quarter?

What color/pattern is your bedspread?

What were you most known for in high school? Being smart? I don't really know.

What do you think of this survey?

What is one quality you want your children to have?

Describe an instance in which you demonstrated a quality you are proud of.

Describe an instance in which you demonstrated a quality you are not proud of. This one time, I was taking a survey that asked me to describe an instance but as usual, I found myself unable to think of a specific time when something vague happened. (This inability is something I'm not proud of.)

Describe yourself.

#fun with lists #Brie Writes Spiffy Things

Things Brie intends to do this summer.

It's that time of year again when the northern hemisphere is angled closer to the sun and therefore Brie theoretically has more time to do things. Here's what she plans on doing, this time in no particular order:

Go to the Philippines

Orientation at Davis

Write and/or draw something awesome

Annual Extreme Room Cleaning

Get a new bike and figure out how to ride it. I'll need a bike because Davis is very spread out, but I haven't ridden my bike in years.

Get caught up with Homestuck

Finish both seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

After that, watch all of Avatar, and if I finish that, Legend of Korra, and if I finish that (not likely?), Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Hang out with cool people before we part ways

Learn how to cook more before I go off to feed on dorm food

Be more active in the stock market

Sleep
