Okay, to all the other keepers joining CWW; I’ve joined. I also have no clue how interaction actually works with it, so I may not see you there.

Fork the GorkI will sign up for CWW if my mom lets me, which will depend on how much school I have that week.

Wow. What are you debating? Theology?

Wait…does that mean you wrote a ton last time and can’t write much right now? Or you wrote only that much last time and am planning on blowing the numbers away this time? Sorry, it’s not quite clear to me.

Yay!!! Looking forward to seeing you there!
When is CWW?
Its website opens on January 6th. The official writing competition doesn’t start until the 7th. That gives an entire day for people to introduce themselves, get comfortable, and learn how everything works.

Central American policy, actually. It’s more interesting than it sounds, and now I love Bukele.

@stephie you asked about my reasons for obsessing over the Australian continent and all it has to offer?
well, it all started when I was four. I had a Leapfrog video game console thingy and one of the games my parents bought me for it was a “world exploration” kinda game. You were supposed to be helping two pilots circumnavigate the globe, and it had like little quests themed after cool stuff from each continent. I don’t remember the nationality of the other one, but one of the pilots was Australian, and he would always point out “hey that’s my home!” or something whenever I selected that continent’s minigames. I always thought his voice was kinda funny, but didn’t think much of it.
Over the years, I’m researching about the lizards of the continent (did you know bearded dragons are from there?), about all the snakes and spiders that are probably out to kill you, about the funny birds like the kookaburra and the lyrebird, about the Great Barrier Reef (I LOVE marine biology. Not as much as I used to when I was seven and wanted to study dolphins and whales, but I still love it.). At this point it’s a subconscious goal of mine to see at least the Reef.
Fast forward, I’m 17, reading up on the Team Fortress game series cause I love the soundtracks. (I don’t recommend the game itself, it’s got far too much blood and swearing. But the soundtrack really is phenomenal). And I wonder why I gravitate toward the sniper character. I mean, he’s a cool guy, he has an interesting role in the game’s tie-in media (complicated backstory and everything), and I’m apparently one of the thousands in the fandom that finds him at least a little attractive…ok maybe a lot which is kinda surprising cause he’s like the only character which has ever made me feel like that but whatever (and that’s something I have never told my mom because she’d probably tease me to the ends of the earth and then some about it), but why did all this happen in the first place?
And I realize, it’s his voice that started it. His rather stereotypical but instantly recognizable Aussie accent hooked me, and then everything else I find interesting about the character, I discovered after that. Perhaps there’s a little bit of four-year-old me in here that still fondly remembers that Leapfrog game. A connection to a simpler time in a form that 17-year-old me would understand.
So between the strange environment, interesting representations of the people themselves, and perhaps some imprinting from an earlier time, I’ve found my thoughts often circle back to the land down under.
For all I know, maybe I’m just overthinking it. But hey, you got a cool story out of it so…..
thank your for listening to my incoherent thoughts.
