I just want an online community that talks about spring and summer

Since I look forward to them every year. The winter subreddit has over twice as many people as the summer subreddit, and the autumn subreddit has over twenty times as many people, and the mod at r/summer randomly decided to make the sub private without providing a reason, which is stupid, so the activity is basically zero. I tried to take over as a mod but there was a whole complicated process that I didn’t go through and thus I was denied. The spring subreddit has some activity, but it’s mostly a combination of 1) flower photos, and 2) people trying to talk about the Java Spring framework. I love the I HATE WINTER!!! Facebook page, but even then, it’s focused more on hating winter than the excitement I feel every year as spring and summer approach. Trying to search for “I love summer” on Facebook doesn’t get you very many exciting pages or active groups. I love looking forward to Memorial Day, for example, and I would love to be a part of a community of other people who are planning what they’ll do on Memorial Day for months in advance. Sometimes I take a walk by the water park in the dead of winter just so I can pretend it’s summer for a little while. I need an online community of other people who do this, lol. 

I actually had a dream last night about it being Memorial Day. In that dream, I went to a new water park. I don’t remember much else, but it was fantastic.

It’s funny how much I love dark and creepy stuff and yet spring and summer are my favorite time of the year. Maybe one day I’ll understand that better. I suppose plunging deep into dark things helps us to love the light even more. 

I might create a community called r/summertime or maybe a page on FB but then I’d have to actively maintain and moderate it. Also, r/summertime and r/summerseason already exist....and they are ALSO both private with 0 members for some stupid reason. Hmm...we will see.

Unleashing my inner Disney Princess ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ at the 2024 Disney Princesses Half Marathon

TL;DR it was amazing and perfect  and we are going to make this an annual tradition. I may edit this with photos later, but I'm probably going to forget.  Recently, I spent 5 wonderful days donating my dollarbucks and soul to the evil mouse in Orlando. I did it for the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  Just look at that happy little alligator musician. He's so CHONKY. It's adorable. I love him. How could you NOT run a half marathon for him when he's cheering you on?  (My dad says it's weird to say the word "adorable" as a man, which makes zero logical sense and obviously means I need to use that word as often as possible. I will also continue to wear my rings and maybe I'll start flashing my pink protein shaker. Just to cause a little discomfort, because it's funny.)  I haven't seen the movie yet actually so idk if the gator is a major character or not. But JUST LOOK AT HIM.  My cousin and I had been planning a Disney trip, specifically centered

The 20-something types of Computer Science majors

I've been way too distracted with this blog lately, and I need to hurry up and start getting crap done. But...I've been dying to write this lol.  The advanced neckbeard A rare variety. When a neckbeard is forced out of his mom's basement and into college, he becomes an Advanced Neckbeard. You can always tell when he's coming, because you can smell him from half a mile away. He is very overweight, and wears shirts that are either plain or adorned with anime/gaming graphics. These shirts are either stained with sweat, Hot Cheetos, or something a little bit more, ah, suspicious . He is so socially unskilled that he makes everyone else in the major look normal. Age 30+, GPA at a 2.0 or just barely above it. Will never drop the major despite his lack of effort, because he simply doesn't care if he gets bad grades. In fact, he is probably highly intelligent, but his grades will never reflect that. Nevertheless, he will get a much higher paying job than a regular neckbeard

The Evenstar

I've never liked this world much.  Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of going somewhere else. I created this alternate version of Earth that had everything and everyone that I loved, but with all these improvements to it. Magic was real. So were dragons. Dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct. Technology allowed people to fly. A network of glass corridors provided transport between this world and mine, snaking through streams of stars, galaxies, and lightyears of blackness.  And more than anything, I wasn't alone. I don't remember why I spent so much time alone as a kid. I really wish I did. All I know is that when I was in my  world, I always had someone by my side.  The feeling of being out of place here was overwhelming. It still is. That sense of not belonging, of longing for somewhere else, it has never gone away.  When I was in middle school, being bullied daily, I escaped to that world. The boys who tripped me and spit on me disappeared, replaced by tropical
