Ah. What animes have you been watching?
I just finished rewatching C-Control. I'm probably gonna watch Mob Psycho 100 next.

TBH I've only been watching One Piece lately... I mean, Re:Zero's first season ended (and I don't know if there'll be a second one) and Shokugeki no Soma's second season ended (and I hope there'll be a third one!) but there isn't really anything else I'm watching at the moment.
I tried to catch up with One Piece before, but dropped it somewhere in the middle of the fight against the mole lady in the Alabasta arc. I recently picked it up again, and now I'm on episode 562! Time sure flies when you're watching an anime.

Ah. Watching 500+ eps of a show is impressive!
I just got internet back on my computer on the 20th, but because of wacky stuff happening when trying to update my computer after 2 years of not having internet, I think I'm gonna have to factory restore it. I'm going through stuff to see what to backup and what to delete right now. Before doing this, I had like only 2GBs of free memory left anyway, so this factory restore will at least free up that valuable space!

That's nice! Sometimes, a thorough cleanup of stuff you don't need anymore can feel pretty nice.

Yeah. Right now I have most of it sorted out. I just need to sort and upload my music and random stuff on my desktop.

Nice!
On another topic, I took the PSAT yesterday at school. Most of the people in my grades really hated it and were super stressed the entire time, but I was totally fine with it.
That's probably because I'm very confident in my academic ability and also like tests, though.

Ah. I was kinda the same way about those tests when I took them. I was just mostly bored though from a full day of testing.
I've factory restored a couple of times already because of computer problems. I just got done with one and decided to only install important updates, cause when I try installing optional ones, they never get done.
My main problem is my computer going super slow and my internet crashing so much that I can't use it. I know I have an old computer, but before getting internet back, I could do a bunch of things at once just fine!
This factory restore was for the same reasons, but mostly cause Paint Tool Sai was lagging so much that I couldn't use it to draw at all! I wanted to try doing a comic thing, so I REALLY hope this works this time. ; w;

Ok so this morning I woke up abd my computer was going super slow and I didn't know why. I unhooked the tower and cleaned some of the dust out of it, but it still seemed slow for about 15 minutes. For a while afterward, only the internet was snail-slow, but now it seems to be normal speed. Idk it seems like my computer has random moods of slow.
Anyway, I've decided to make an ask-blog on tumblr for me to work casually on drawing my characters and such. It's askmaggiemonster.tumblr.com if anyone wants to check it out!
EDIT: Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving! (I mean, for those of you who live in the USA and/or celebrate Thanksgiving, that is.)
I know people usually eat turkey for Thanksgiving, but my family sort of combines Thanksgiving with a Swedish tradition thing that really happens earlier in November where you eat goose, only we eat a couple of ducks instead because we prefer that to goose (plus they're easier to find here, I think).
Also why did I capitalize all the poultry? I had to go back and fix it every time. (Except duck, for some reason?)
P.S. Listen to this super cool Nintendo Medley!

That's kinda cool how you guys kinda combine traditions. (Though I don't know how duck tastes)
That melody was nice.
The forum was kinda dry for a few days. I was thinking of maybe making a blog-like thread, but I kinda want it to be kinda like a game, so it would also kinda encourage others to post in it too, but I don't know, nothing really solid comes to mind, so it's just an idea right now.

That sounds like an interesting idea. Once you figure out how to implement it, you should do it!
Also, I just realized that I've gained reputation points. When did that happen!? Also also I have like 900+ posts as of like 3 posts ago. I'm close to rising a rank in the posting leaderboards! Yuss!

I think i got that game post concept done and I wrote a draft of what the rules would be in the first post, but I'm bad at words right now, so I'll just run it here to be criticized and be given suggestions on how to make it better.
Spoiler:
Ok so here's how this game thread is going to work.
You can talk about or share anything in this thread, as long as it relates to the post above yours. So if the post above you is talking about birds, you can talk about a certain peice of art with a bird in it, or you can talk about planes since birds and planes fly in the air.
You can also give people points if you like their posts. All you have to do is say so, either at the beginning or end of your post, that you're "+1"ing or "1uping" a certain post. You can only +1 each post once, and you can't +1 your own posts. The person with the most points at the end of the thread wins! (I think the end of the thread will be after achieving 41 pages. That might not be true, but it'll be a start for this thread.)
It would also be nice if there's some sort of transition sentence in the beginning of your post that makes it clear how your post relates to the previous one. Using the earlier example, you could start your post with "You know what shares the sky with birds? Planes." or "Birds aren't the only things that fly in the sky." or even "Birds are good, but planes are bigger and made of metal! Aw yeah!". It would just make the posts feel more like they kinda flow into each other.
The post under this one can talk about anything to start us off!

*jumps into conversation late*
Anime eh? I watched Chaika recently and was pretty happy with it. It's like 22 episodes overall and a good mix of "neat action scenes" and "what the hell is even going on in this plot i am so confused and yet intrigued".
Also I've been away for a bit...I guess I've just been really busy? I don't have a good reason for not showing up as much. Sorry.

Hey, it's no problem. Sometimes there's just other stuff you feel like doing or you just forget to check in on the forum or something. Happens all the time.
Chaika sounds intriguing, I might take a look at it. While we're on the topic of anime, though, I am now almost completely caught up with One Piece. Less than 10 episodes left... How did that happen!?

One Piece is SO LONG I've never even bothered, but I have a few friends who have. An impressive feat!

OH. Speaking of anime, I saw this a while ago and loved it so much. It's worth six minutes of your life.

I know. ;_; I bought the song on iTunes and I've already listened to it over 500 times, heh.

Really? 500!?
(Let's see, do some math... 6 mins and 6 seconds is... 6 * 60 = 360 366 seconds, multiplied by 500 is... 183,000 seconds! Divide that by 60 (for minutes) to get... 3050 minutes, divided by 60 again for hours... is just over 50 hours!
So, completely possible.
(P.S. The animation in that video was absolutely stunning, I must say.)

Haha yeah, I have a habit of looping songs I like.
My most-played song (and very much extreme example, as I only have 3 songs over 1,000 plays) is a Homestuck song. At 3:18 long and 2,219 plays, I've played it for >122 hours...

This one: https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black-rose-green-sun
It's very well-suited for looping while working on things, and so...I guess I have, over time.
Also I love distant thunder.

I also like distant thunder.
And rain.
And just stormy weather in general, I guess. (Not hurricanes or tornados or other natural disasters though. Those kill people.)
That song sounds pretty dark. But then again, some of my favorite songs can get pretty dark too.

It played during a pretty emotional time in the comic too (but was in an interactive game so it played in the background as you walked around; it was neat.)
