    In lieu of the ongoing crisis and the riots of my country, I'm going to be selfish once again and say my piece.

    It's rather bizarre moving on with my life in the midst of all these crises, while I doubt the whole country would take much heed of the class of 2020's graduation, these events lately have certainly pulled down its priority much more in my eyes.

    At this time, I should be graduating today, at least during the day time instead when I'm writing this near dawn.

    With the ongoing events, it's definitely going to become more hectic in my life as I worry about how far all the other events go and how far they spread, and I'm not just talking about the pandemic.

    As I realize that while I have gained some friends, I definitely lost some as well, and that loss will only increase as I transition to the next stage of my life.

    And while you may have noticed this with the very few posts I have around here, I'm a rather stiff person most of the time with what I think is too much formality and also who can't keep their promises (For those who know what Arain is).

    So I'm going to ask something of this community, bug me with some normal to absurdly ridiculous stuff and we'll see how that relationship goes. I'll do my best to send you equal responses depending on what you want, probably. o3o

    I promise that I'll definitely(?) get better as time goes on and get better at this being part of a forum thingy.

    A rather exception work with serious thought put into it as well as an equally exceptional job by the translator as they replicated the grammar and spelling of the work into English. (I skimmed it)

    @Lucenda I’m a bit of a stickler too. I appreciate you sincerity though it’s funny to be posting this a forum website like novelupdates.
    Soo... how did you graduation go? I just had mines as a fresh graduate. I hope the term shotgun graduation catches on. It literally was a drive, drop-off and get-out station which barely was 10 mins... I almost stumbled down the steep hill my school is located on. How’s class colors? (Because I don’t want to pry too much information - Mine school is red and gold) And what sort of compensation did the school offer? Swag/merch? or at least refunds for post-school activities.

    ...and on a less real life note. What sort of novels are you into? I feel that I extend into all genres though I’m obscure or typical, I hope we have a genre or trope of common interest!
    Welcome to post-high and best of wishes from this stranger (hopefully new friend!)

    Well, first of all, this post felt a lot like a so-called Death Flag or obituary.

    So feel free to exercise distancing Oppa Gangnam style.

    Second, I guess USA is the one rioting?

    None of that here, barely noticed Covid in daily life.

    And that's my take, back to social distancing via lurking.

    One day a bird asked another bird

    "What did you have for lunch"

    Then the other bird replied

    " the same thing I had for breakfast"

    Then the bird which asked the other bird what you had for lunch asked

    "What did you have for breakfast"


    Then the other bird which answered the bird which asked it what did you have for lunch answered

    "The same thing I had for yesterday's dinner"

    Then the bird which asked the other bird which had answered it the same thing I had for yesterday's dinner asked

    "Then what did you have for yesterday's dinner"


    Then the other bird which answered the bird which asked what did you have for yesterday's dinner answered

    " The same thing I've been having for every yesterday's dinner, todays breakfast and today's lunch. "

    Then the bird which had asked it understood

    "So you are same yesterday today and now. "

    Then the bird which answered so you are same yesterday today and now asked

    " Then what will you have for today's dinner"

    Then the bird which answered the same thing I've been having for every yesterday's dinner, todays breakfast and today's lunch answered

    " I don't know".

    ....


    What are we?. Can you answer?

    Both reasons for why the riots started were pretty damned stupid, too. I mean, it's okay to be mad at what happened, but why the hell take one's anger on uninvolved people.

    I have a dog. -3- I don't think I would be able to handle two things reigning over my life.

    While a physical graduation is probably not going to happen for the time being, I suppose a class meeting in our gowns would have to do it for now. Our colors were blue and gold, which, in my opinion, are pretty nice colors ;3 And I don't know much about the refunds or compensation, as I'm usually the stay-at-home kind of person. Though SATs definitely didn't refund those people.

    Apparently not, we're also experiencing a lot of bugs rn so expect a sudden game over.

    You're lucky then. My graduation this year only consisted of signing the graduation certificate (? I'm not sure what the english term for that) after determining that we're healthy then got it stamped then went home. All in all only took like 10 minutes. While the ones determined not healthy or 'on watch' had their signing postponed for indetermined time. And I'm one of the people got postponed because I went to a different city within 14 days before the signing. *Siiiiiiigh*

    Well, at least I still got myself a job. What about you?

    Hum, while I don't think I'm exactly that knowledgeable of all things and riddles. All I can guess from that is what they have for consumption is something they don't know or nothing.

    Haven't heard much from the office other than graduation is near, and I do have a job of sorts to keep me busy. How goes the quarantine life for you? .3.
