ATHENS GA! Wild Rumpus is coming so you better be getting your costumes ready so we can party the weekend away! We’ll be partying in the bars, the streets, anywhere and everywhere! We’re taking over Athens and turning it spooky!
We’re also still looking for some more volunteers! Volunteers will be given an event shirt, we’re gonna feed you guys, and potentially tip you out for your help! If you’re interested please fill out this Google form and I will get in touch with you!
My favorite childrens book growing up (and now!) is where the wild things are! It's a comfort for me and makes me feel super nostalgic whenever I see it. I would really like to get a liddl crown and onesie like Max' one day!
I had a great time visiting one of my favorite bookstores today. I’ve been visiting this store since I was a kid, got my cat from here, and love it so much.

Minecrafters grab your pickaxes, and catch up on the QBLR QUARTERLY!
what's up guys, you just found the internet's first hellsite smp! what's qblr you ask? well, you see, the explanation is perfectly simple and scientific: my brother you are on qblr. this is the qsmp fan tumblr. some of us made a server. and now, let me learn you a thing about all the events and mishaps that happened on the server this week!
the server opened with players and creatures running around the world trying to survive the first nights on a modded world, to varying degrees of success
as days pass, residents begin to encounter monsters tough enough to warrant better lodging and armor. with these reinforced shelters and better gear, the residents begin to form friendships!
the friends share food, homes, and gear. sounds like communism. are they communist or something? actually, that makes perfect sense what with the minecraft and all.
residents sort themselves into groups mostly by timezone and playstyle. being a server inspired by the qsmp, timezones mean that groups speaking different languages stick together and build together.
the french build a stone circle, form a traveling band, and create an inn providing basic necessities like food and beds.
others make their own homes, and an axolotl pond pops up!
the hispanic folk also have a lovely start, with cozy furnishings and no other reports from this side of the server.
and now, a reading from r/EnglishLivingSpaces. white jacaranda walls. plain spruce floor. circular room, with a 1-wide 2-tall window for each 5-wide edge wall of the circle, two windows total. green bed under the window, facing a log pillar in the center of the room. two stacks of loose papers on the right side of the room. a sign reading "r/malelivingspaces" placed next to the bed. this has been a reading of r/EnglishLivingSpaces.
the server celebrated 4/13 by having a fruity rumpus cult party. festivities included drugs and alcohol introduced by some of the mods installed on the server.
and now, the gubby.
bad boy hooters opened to celebrate all the big booby badboys out there in the wild. i always do appreciate a good use of the expression hooters. and as a safe house from the nightmare stalkers that seem to be thriving on the fear and pain they cause, it gets many a visit.
residents continue to build and decorate, with fun and games in between.
folks play for reasonable amounts of time, with two days played in 5 days of server uptime by one ambitious player.
finally, everyone is building interiors to their houses now, with the dining room being a popular place to take photos.
some late bloomers also complete the exteriors of their -- that's not a house, thats a taqueria.
and the first week on the server closes with absolutely nothing ominous happening.
“Let the wild rumpus start!”
― Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are

“I have nothing now but praise for my life. I'm not unhappy. I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can't stop them. They leave me and I love them more...What I dread is the isolation. ... There are so many beautiful things in the world which I will have to leave when I die, but I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.”
― Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are
