Owl: It's Back, and Death

Hey there, night babies,
It's me, the Owl of your dreams. 
Wow, my introduction was much creepier than usual to make up for missing the past two weeks. Sorry about that, guys, I've been having difficulty surviving, 'cause life.
This leads me to my topic for today, which is how people always joke that they're dying when they're stressed out.
Or maybe that's just me.
Either way, it's an interesting thing. Why is it that something that terrifies people so much has been reduced to a joke? I mean, I'm guilty of it, it just is an interesting thing to consider in terms of Western culture. Like do we feel that we need to make death seem less powerful and therefore laugh in the face of death, then become afraid the minute it's a real threat?
I don't know.
If you're curious, I'm having difficulties because mental health issues, 5 majors projects for school to work on, at least one performance or tech rehearsal each day, deadlines approaching, figuring out what I'll do this summer, and GRAH.

So yeah, that's why ^ ^;


ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY: In 1882, the United States passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which forbade immigration of Chinese laborers due to the vast amount of Chinese immigrants on the West coast, even though all of the European immigrants were like 10 TIMES THE AMOUNT. Just sayin'...

Would You Rather: Take a European sight-seeing tour or a relaxing Caribbean vacation?

I think the European sight-seeing tour. I mean, it forces me to stay active, as well as showing me a lot of cool things about history that I never knew. But on the other hand, I've never been to the Caribbean, unlike Europe, and I'd be really curious to see the ideal paradise. 

What about y'all?

Take care while flying into the night, my night children,

Owl: Allergy Season

Hello, my children of the night,
Welcome to creeper town.
So, let's get some business out of the way: I will not be posting on Wednesday next week, I will be posting on Thursday night. Why? Because I'll be in a foreign country where I don't understand how wi-fi works. Wish me luck!
So, our topic for today is allergy season.
I personally am very allergic to three different types of pollen, as well as minor allergies to like a million others. It's dreadful. I literally almost passed out at the end of the school day today because I didn't take any medication.
But yeah. Loads of fun.
Also in the news: today was the day of silence for the LGBTQ+ community. Not really the best way to show support, we really should just have a day of visibility, but it's pretty good. I personally took a vow of silence for the day, but I wish I had taken a talking sticker so that I could have some conversations about it.

Now, to move onward:

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY: In 1912, the Titanic sank, which spurred on the events of the hit TV show Downton Abbey. Kind of right, but not really.

Would You Rather: Live in a Norwegian prison or in the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

No offense to Congo, but it's got some political and safety issues there. Even if the Norwegian prison isn't that great, at least I'd be safe there.

What about y'all?

Off to bed for me, my night babies

Owl: Read My Lips and Red Your Own

Hey, night babies,
Wow, that came out creepier than intended. Excellent.
Don't you just hate it when you're talking with someone and they just do not have an actual conversation with you? Example (I honestly just picked random things):
Person1: Hey, so I have this really weird story about a prank PersonA pulled on PersonB.
Person2: Oh, neat, so check out this new car I bought.
Person1: Ooh, I like the color. So, anyway, PersonA was planning this joke with mayonnaise–
Person2: And check out my new manicure.

I mean, I'm guilty of this crime too, so, I have no room to complain, but it's annoying and just plain rude. Can we please just talk about something together? I understand that you have a bunch of really interesting things happening in your life, but it would be really awesome if our conversations were not just about you, and me admiring you.
Read my lips, and chances are, you will see me swearing at you for this crime. That or mouthing lyrics. One of the two. Both are equally likely.
And if you are reading my lips at all during the month of April, chances are they will be bright red (segue dance, woot woot).
In order to raise awareness about sexual and domestic violence, particularly rape, people all throughout the month of April, all over the world, will be wearing bright red lipstick, or just bright red garments. Please, join the cause and wear red, awareness is key to solving any problem.

Also, I'm gonna add a new thing, a "on this day in history" thingy.
On this day, in 1952, the Big Bang theory was proposed by Alpher, Bethe, and Gamow.
People must have thought they were joking. That's sad.

I wish you all well, my nightowl babies.
