My Experience In High School

I think my clangen save made some toxic Yaoi. The deputy, Fogfruit, and one of the medicine cats, Woodsting, were mates for a bit but broke up when their kits were a couple moons old. But a few moons after their kits became warriors they got back together. It made me think that they broke up because of their kits, maybe the responsibility of being a parent put too much strain on the relationship. Once they didn’t have to deal with raising them anymore they thought they could try romance again. Not exactly healthy but okay. But all the kits are on good terms with their dads. So idk. They’re still messy.

Random Story Time!

In my history class during my senior year of high school my class was assigned a talent show project. We had to pick a country that was important or had a major influence during the Cold War, write a at least a page of two related to the country and said significance. The talent show part was to do a small performance or presentation of sorts related to your country. You could make food, do a skit about an important event or person, sing a song, etc.

I decided to do Hungary for this project and thought that singing would be my best bet since I’m not the most creative person and I thought a skit would be more embarrassing. It would also be easier since I was doing this project alone. I found a song that was sung during the Hungarian Revolution against the Soviets and decided that it was the perfect choice.

There was just one problem…

I do not know ANY Hungarian. This was my first time even ATTEMPTING to speak the language. I couldn’t find any English covers to listen to and while I could find the directly translated lyrics, I was so busy at the time that I did not have the time to format the song in a way that it would sound good with English lyrics. Also I didn’t have the time to memorize the song enough that I would be able to pull up the instrumental version and sing it well. I know that with enough time and effort you can sing a sing in another language perfectly and still not know the language. But like I said I did not have the free time for this.

So eventually when it’s my turn to present I went up with a piece of paper where I wrote down the lyrics and just hoped that I wouldn’t be too off rhythm and with the pronunciation. I was FAR from perfect but I think I did okay. My teacher was mostly grading this project based on doing it anyways, so I wasn’t worried about my grade.

Here’s the funny part.

Once I finished my teacher actually asked if I was Hungarian because apparently my accent sounded a lot like a Hungarian one. I looked straight at him and responded with: “No, I’m Mexican.”

Honestly I found the whole situation hilarious given the context. I hope this story makes someone laugh.

Note: I went to a very diverse school where many kids were first generation Americans meaning the majority of the students’ parents were not born in the US and many of the students were bilingual. We had people from all over the world so honestly having a Hungarian kid would not have been a shock.

Can somebody explain to me why a song sung by a horse to an alpaca centaur is making me feel emotional

I saw the Wicked movie with some of my family over Thanksgiving (it was amazing). My cousin knew almost nothing about it other than it was a Wizard of Oz prequel about the Wicked Witch of the West. In the beginning of the movie, when Elphaba and Glinda met at Shiz, he looked at my sister and asked, “Is it just me or does feel like everyone is racist against Elphaba when they talk about her green skin?” My sister, who is a huge fan of the musical and had seen it live, just looked at him and said, “You have no idea.” Bro hadn’t even gotten to the conflict with the racism against the animals and he understood that something was going on in Oz.

Can confirm because my dad has neighbors who just let their dogs run wild in the neighborhood. I’m not sure if they just let the dogs lose or if the dogs just get past the fence. But it’s been causing a lot of problems. These dogs roam around the neighborhood unattended MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. They are also big and very energetic. So they’re running at people and other animals. They try to jump on people and start fights with other dogs. My dad owns an extremely dog aggressive dog, so having these dogs running up to her while my dad or stepmom is trying to walk her is a recipe for disaster. A lot of people have complained to the neighbors but they still have not done anything. This had been an issue for 1-2 years. I will never understand people who do stuff like this with their pets.

Does it seem weird that people treat cats like they’re wild animals to anyone else? And by that I don’t mean people expect cats to survive on their own in the wild. I mean people act like pet cats who have owners are wild animals that the owners aren’t responsible for.

I never thought about that until a few years ago when someone in the town Facebook group asked who owned a cat that kept jumping in through his windows. It was summer so he couldn’t keep his windows closed (we don’t use air conditioning in this country) and he had a terrible allergy to cats so it was legit dangerous for him to have a cat running around his house.

People started offering solutions like “buy this spray that deters cats” and “you can buy this rolling thing for the top of your fence” but his response was “Okay but why am I expected to spend all this money to keep someone’s pet out? Who owns this cat!?” When he didn’t get an answer he eventually got a friend to pick the cat up when it was in his house and he drove it to a shelter, and informed the Facebook group which shelter. Suddenly the owner responded, angry that he’d do such a thing! Getting the cat back would cost money! But the guy was like where the fuck were you when I asked who the cat belonged to!? I was trying to avoid this!

I was honestly surprised by how many people were on the side of the cat’s owner. Another cat owner on our street isn’t responsible enough to keep her cat indoors but responsible enough to at least buy stuff for other people if her cats bother them. She practically have a small stach of cat deterrent spray she hands out to the neighbors who doesn’t want cats in their garden.

The whole thing really made me realize how strange it is that cats are the only pets where we expect other people to spend their money on building fences to keep them out instead of the owners trying to keep them in, as if they were wild animals with no owner to look after them.

Story time!

I was a theatre kid in high school. After our opening night it was tradition for all of the cast and crew to go to AppleBees to celebrate and then be there until 2-3 am. In my senior year we had one kid from a different high school join us. He was a really nice guy and worked extremely hard. We also had elementary school and middle school students in a few scenes for the sake of getting more parents to buy our tickets. One of those middle school students was the guy’s younger brother. So when we all went to AppleBees those two guys came with us. I sat next to the little brother and my sibling.

The kid is on his phone, most likely feeling awkward about being the only middle schooler surrounded by high school students. I ended up seeing what he was doing on l his phone. Kid was watching My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. So I ask “Hey are you watching My Little Pony?” My sibling overheard this and started looking at the kid. The kid looks shocked and mortified because two seniors in high school just caught him watching MLP. So imagine his surprise when we start gushing and asking question because we too watch MLP.

We were like “OMG! Who is your favorite character? How far are you? How long have you been into it?”

This kid was in SHOCK that two kids 4 years older than him watched a show that a lot of people in his own age group would tease him about. He was a little timid, but we spent the rest of the night talking about MLP with him.

Never be afraid to be into something you love. It does t matter if it’s technically a show made for kids. That does not make your enjoyment less valid and you never know who might be into the same thing you are.

Also yes, while I am not as into it now, I still consider myself a MLP fan.
