The Last Poster Wins! [v21]

If you're sure it's nothing bad then okay, but I think it still might be better just to get it checked out.

Well given he forgot to set the timer on the first online test, and appears to forgotten to do so on the second online test (which I will be taking tomorrow), something tells me the final won't be timed. But the good news is I can ch-I MEAN be totally ethical about it. :/

'Be ethical'? Don't you mean you can take it in the comfort of your own home with a hot frothy mug of cocoa to minimize stress? ;3
And perhaps a few other measures to keep stress at an all-time low?

Well that's just it. I'm not sure. The surgery I had was supposed to help prevent it from happening again, but in case it did it would only partially collapse. I take that to mean it wouldn't feel the same or put so much pressure as it did on my body before. Even if it's small, it feels different and makes me feel weaker than normal. Kinda sick while eating at times too like it did today. Eating out with my grandparent I ate and usually eat more, but I started getting a weak feeling. I'm able to lift heavy things, walk, and move around easily unlike before. So just to be safe before work tomorrow I'm gonna get an X-ray if not an excuse to leave early if needed. It may all just be stress related. I'm just not sure. But yeah, better to check and be safe than let it get worse.

More like take comfort in a library with really good internet and other precautions to minimize stress.

[Noblejanobii]

Yep exactly. Always better safe than sorry.

It's weird, this morning I felt really out of it too. Alarm went off, woke up, totally surprised it went off, and forgot "guess what Monday time for work hurr hurr" was totally a thing. I think I was seriously deep in REM sleep and having one heck of a dream that had me thinking today was something completely different. The dream was weird, too. Something where it was like an amusement park ride and at one point of the attraction, you karate chop some wood. And some people on line were so into it that they had gone through it like a dozen times and I was just wondering how their hands weren't throbbing in serious pain.

It was a really weird dream. Suddenly waking up from that is probably what had my head all loopy for a few seconds. XD

Note to self: STOP LISTENING TO HAMILTON WHILE WRITING

Well, the villain for my creative writing entry now has a theme song. The World Was Wide Enough. It fits him so well, as you'll see in the story. There's no doubt in my mind that Madder is assisting me with this story. The amount of sadistic stuff that is being planned for the climax, it's all Madder. The first story was all me, the second story is all Madder.

[LKWayvern]

I've stopped listening to Rent while writing.
Now I'm listening to Alan Parsons Project.
The good news is I'm getting more ideas for my original world that I've been trying to work on. The bad news is that they're not happy ideas.

[Noblejanobii]

Usually, I listen to instrumentals so I don't get any ideas. XD

But yeah. When Madder writes, you better believe it's not going to be pretty. Something tells me by the time I reach the end of this story I'll be crying.

If I'm writing, I usually listening to video game music that fits what I'm trying to do and I have all kinds of playlists for that. Oh, writing about a scene that takes place in winter? Got a playlist for that. Desert? Even got one for that too.

I have all of these ready to go (there are others but they're a bit more specific).

- Aquatic Mix
- Beat Em Up Mix
- Combat Collection
- Dark Combat
- Dark Corporate (FF7 Shinra-like themes)
- Desert Mix
- Draconic Adrenaline (fast-paced metal music I often use for gaming)
- Dreamstrider (mystical-like themes like stuff from Ori and the Blind Forest)
- Epic Battle Music
- Horror Mix
- Military Mix (has "Briefing" "Dark Dictator's Campaign" and "Military Combat" subfolders XD)
- Post-Apocalyptic
- Stealth Mix
- Ultimate Fury (just outright fast-paced music meant to incite energy)
- Team Fortress Mega Mix (silly, wacky parody songs to lighten the mood)
- Urban Mix (city-like themes)
- Vehicular Combat
- Wacky Driving (often used for Saints Row XD)
- Winterbound

I even have a playlist that I used for Stalkers packed with music from Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and stuff like that.

[Noblejanobii]

Yeah I usually just search "electric music" or "bass boosted" or something. For example, the first... halfish of The Butterfly Epoch was written using a bass boosted electric dance music set. Following the characters entering Japan, I switched to Inuyasha's OST. There was a little Hamilton here and there but not much. This second story has been allll Hamilton with a little of the villain mix in it.
