>>1110 (Pie) That's true. I've actually seen people do that for flowers from wedding bouquets and having them framed with pictures. I suppose if you're willing to put in the effort and you're crafty you can make anything last. +1 for the romantics -1 for the aros lol. Even though I still think a living plant is better than cut flowers even if flowers are prettier by most standards.

>>1106 (Hypela) Rain would be nice here, I think my area is going to go through another drought

>>1111 (Nyanka) it would be neat to hold potted plants instead of bouquets

my mum grows some roses and i dry them out before they start to wilt. they smell nice

Bump, feeling memey this week

Oh look, a good thread from old times! Anyone wants to do a checklist on their progress? Might be cool to start something since its still early in the year.

1. Finish one of my literary piece (they have all been in development hell for too long).
2. Create a video that has substantive research under it (i research lots of stuff, hasnt gathered enough in any subject to warrant a video though).
3. Fix my GPA (right now its on 2.0 out of 4.0 and I'm at the end of my 5th semester).
4. Make substantial progress on developing my ppt game.
5. Restore my bedroom to its former glory (it has been untidy for months and will stay that way for many more to come).
6. Meet Dollars member from RTT and eat McD fries together.
7. Find new circle of friends on my new classes while fixing my GPA (my old homies are about to graduate).
8. Reconnect with old friends from middle school.
9. Visit my old high school with a few achievements on my belt, despite the freefalling GPAs.
10. Go on trips with my friends, simply for the fun of it. (It used to always be for theatre club's errand)

Some tall orders I set for myself, I think. Also someone irl challenged me to make a goal for myself to aim for this year, and it cant be anything related to the theatre club, so it was pretty hard to come up with half of these things.

I'm glad I did not see this thread years ago because my list wouldn't been either really depressing or really cringe. Or both. Such is the way of being a teenager, it's inevitable.

Now that I have not been a teenager for a while, here's a list:

1. Buy a house
2. Japan trip with the friend group
3. Travel to different countries in general, but Japan is a must
4. Have a fully functioning app published on an app store made solely by me
5. Design and make a full outfit, including accessories
6. Start selling stickers and prints
7. Be recognized for my teaching in some capacity
8. Find a semi-precious stone in nature
9. Ride a ferris wheel with a partner
10. Figure out how to manage my fucking hair

>>20 The entire thread was filled with silly back in the day as well lol, I think I would've made shortsighted goals either if I found it back then.

Hypela blogs about Japanese women.

>>26 Takako Mamiya's album, Love Trip is absolute bangers. Apparently is also her only album ever, released in the 80s. We know next to nothing about her since internet hadn't been a thing back then, whether she's still around to see her music getting so much love from people around the world, who could really say.

The first few gens of the ancient members of BBS is gathered in a permanent refirement roomchat, in the form of a private discord server.

I’ve crafted an elaborate persona, complete with a compelling backstory that has become so convincing that I’ve started to embody it fully. I’m building a world within myself where everyone I know plays a role, drawing them into my narrative to the point where I can't help but include more people in my production—I’m not just an actor but also a director and a screenwriter. I wear many masks; some recognize me by my birth name, while others know me as a girl or even by a boy's name. I exist, yet you may know me through various identities. I gather insights, share knowledge, and thrive on the stories I weave, continuously iterating new narratives while managing the existing ones. My influence is felt by those around me through every facet of my being. Each of my personas operates independently yet is interlinked by an enigmatic connection no one has ever deciphered. It’s a puzzle that remains unsolved, underscoring the reality that understanding who I truly am is nearly impossible—I exist as many.
i had this on my :)

got nothing on the clip, but that's my latest screenshot

Funny I should run into this thread. Never thought I'd see this place up and running again. I started 12 years ago, back in 2011. First post was on the intro page "Hey There!" under the same name.

Think about this place a lot. Met a lot of very good people here. If any of you old timers see this: I hope you're all doing well.

a friend told me about this place back in 2017-2018, when we were still in High School. drrr is one of his favorite anime, and I also read through most of the light novel and loved it (still need to watch the anime). was never active on here though cause of anxiety.

probably around 10 years or something

Worst thing? The sad thing of not appreciating your parents before they pass away.

Achievement unlocked: through up in a trashcan down town.

Story in RTT and food category. 0/10 would not recommend. Officially feel bad for dude who takes care of trash. Hope the trash bag didn't break. But hey! I threw up! I can't ever through up when I feel like I need to so.. and I didn't throw up in my sleep that time. Woo. Still sucky experience.

Not gonna lie I really thought >>564 was me for a second and I got really confused.

But here: bump

According to the laws of physics, green stars can't exist. It is then theoretically possible to create a semi transparent dyson sphere that'll make a star appearing green, turning it into a beacon of life and civilization for the aliens out there looking out into the sky.

There's a folklore surrounding The Blue Mosque's construction which was that, when the Sultan ordered it to be built, he asked the architect for "altın minareler" (gold minarets). The architect, however, as the folklore describes, misheard his request to be "altı minare" (six minarets). A then unique feature only belonging to the mosque that housed Ka'aba in Mecca. When criticized for being presumptuous, the Sultan then ordered a seventh minaret to be built at the Mecca mosque.

*minaret is the tower that is built on/around a mosque
