Here the boys shall gather to discuss life, art, entertainment, and anything else they can think up, before enjoying a cozy night's rest. Feel free to share something of yours, some art you've drawn, a poem you wrote, a story you wish to share, or just your own thoughts and feelings on the day you've had.
Here are some conversation topics to start us off! Remember to copy and paste the questions or make what you are answering obvious. Avoid simple 'yes' or 'no's. If that's all you have to say about the question, why bother answering?
>What were sleepovers like when you were growing up? >What is your favorite meal >What is something you do when you get sad and have nothing important to attend to? >What is your favorite poem? >What is your favorite film? >Who is your favorite author? >Tell us about your best friend. >Tell us about your current romantic prospects. >What is something that has made you sad recently?
>What were sleepovers like when you were growing up? There was a different 'culture' to sleepovers everywhere I went. I moved around a lot, five highschools and I lost track of how many elementary schools. When I moved to California suddenly it was deemed 'gay' to have a sleepover. All the boys who claimed this would also have sleepovers they simply referred to it as 'staying the night' or 'crashing at (PERSON)'s house.
>What is your favorite meal I enjoy eating out a lot, particularly Asian influenced restaurants. Lately my favorite dish is Alaskan rolls and spicy tuna rolls. Sushi makes me happy.
>What is your favorite poem? It's hard for me to pick a true favorite, but I do enjoy 'First Fig' by Edna St. Vincent-Millay. I have posted an image of the poem for reference.
>What is your favorite film? It is hard for me to choose a favorite for anything. I think the independent horror film 'After' is one I have the most fond memories of, though Annihilation is also really spectacular to me.
>Who is your favorite author? I don't tend to have a favorite artist in any form of entertainment, as I tend to only like a few select works from any given creator at most. When I was younger I was really invested in V.C. Andrews and Piers Anthony, particularly the Xanth series.
>Tell us about your best friend. I'm not sure who my best friend is anymore. I have lost a lot of good friends this last year and am feeling rather alone lately.
>Tell us about your current romantic prospects. I have been seeing a girl for the last two months or so. She is very sweet, with beautiful eyes. Sometimes it feels a bit awkward as she is considerably taller than me. This used to never bug me as I had dated many taller girls before but the last few years on Yea Forums seem to have ruined that for me. She is particularly sweet though, she came over yesterday to take care of me when my cold was at it's worst.
>What is your favorite meal Anything with potatoes, If you drown the things in Salt and Pepper, its delicious, also they are the best food to choose if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life. >What is something you do when you get sad and have nothing important to attend to? Listen to music, its always good at calming me down. >What is your favorite film? Nightmare before Christmas, I watched it when I was like 5 and I have always loved the stop motion. >Who is your favorite author? Stephen King, although I only recently picked up on reading his books. 1/2 through Finders Keepers. >Tell us about your best friend. I do not really have a best friend, I had one a year back, but a fallout happened and I wouldn't call anyone my best friend anymore, as I see it as a two way thing, and I know Im not anyone's best friend. >What is something that has made you sad recently? pic unrelated
>What were sleepovers like when you were growing up Sleepovers were okay, never really had a big sleepover until senior year at bandcamp(all the guys sneaked over to one cabin and watched skyfall) Most of my sleepovers have been one on one. Crashed over a few people housed before but those are for other reasons >Fav meal Steak with sparkling water >Poem Road Not Taken by Robert Frost "to live is to... to change to choose something new, lose whatever has not been chose, to gain by loss ,life is precisely "the finite"." is the vibe I got from it >Best friend I dont really know what happened to him, one day he was supposed to show up at an interview at my job(pharmacy) and he just didnt show up, He just vanished, I checked public records to see if he was arrested, nothing, Me and this nigga has been together since the second grade and we've been there for each other since, but its been a year now since he left town or something, Joe if you se this, I hope you're okay bro, I washed all of your clothes and made sure they are clean when you come back. >Current romance I got out of a relationship just about 3 months ago. Been with her for about 1 and a half years and she was my first for everything but she just didnt feel the same way about me as she did in the beginning and left me, According to her I was the best boyfriend she could ever have and didnt want to put me through the pain of it being one sided. :/ Stil sad about it /b > Sad recently Even though my breakup was recent and I have everyone supporting me every single step of the way, I go to parties have fun, smile, play video games and just enjoy life, I still go back to my dorm and I cry, I feel empty on the inside because I know my sunshine isnt going to come back to me, Every night I just cry myself to sleep and clutch the plush she made me. >Sad or bored I listen to music or play ace combat 7 or rs6, I dont even bother with homework anymore
I don't think I could stomach potatoes for the rest of my life, though I used to enjoy them quite a bit. I was obsessed with mashed potatoes as a child, but the truth is I just really liked sour cream I suppose. Fries and baked potato are still delicious though.
>Nightmare before christmas I never liked this film, Tim Burton as a whole left a bad taste in my mouth. May I ask, are you a fan of Melanie Martinez?
>Stephen King I read quite a bit of his work as a teenager, but I found myself not as scared as I had hoped I would be. The long works in particular feel like a chore to get through, but I love 'The Mist' in particular, as well as every single adaption of it to exist, particularly the radio play.
>no best friend I feel you there. I had five really great friends just over a year ago, but one by one they disappeared.
>Pic unrelated What is going on in that picture?
Luke Fisher
The picture is by Simon Stålenhag. Hes a Swedish artist, he also made a few books and a rpg. I just think of it as those giant relays are controlling those little human drones.

>Sleepover in one cabin That sounds delightfully comfy though. I didn't have much of a 'group' experience like that until I got invited to a friend's wedding. The bachelor party was essentially just a bunch of men I had never met over the course of one long weekend, but it was amazing. It really made me wish I went to a traditional college and pledged a frat or something of that sort.
>Steak with sparkling water If you are ever in Los Angeles be sure to stop by 'Pacific Dining Car' and request the prime rib. It will break your wallet, but it is worth it. It has ruined other steaks for me.
>Road Not Taken Isn't that the sort of poem everyone knows about though? I feel like it's only poem that everyone knows by title, it's referenced so much in most any movie. Surely with that deep an analysis you could share something a bit more obscure with us. That is a good analysis of it though.
I personally prefer 'Stopping in the woods on a snowy evening' if were talking about frost. This one convinced my friend not to take his own life when the cancer started closing in. It was difficult to read this at his funeral.
>vanished Jesus, user, that is horrifying. Did he pack a bag? Is there any evidence that anything happened?
>One sided romance I worry that is where I am at now. The girl I am seeing is lovely, but I don't feel a spark. She is so sweet and I still want her in my life though. It's a bit of a scary thing to think about. It is nice that you had such a supportive group of friends helping you through it. I had some friends helping me through the grieving process but by the time I felt happy again they seemed to have vanished.
>I just think of it as those giant relays are controlling those little human drones. That is a scary thought. Particularly if the drones think they're the ones in control.
Aaron Jackson
Oh for sure. I imagine them being in a comatose state, unaware of whats going on, or living in bliss, unaware of the horrors they bring upon others, and the forceful addition to their swarm. Or better yet, they are all dead, or at least rotting to some degree, the robots pumping chemicals into them, to keep them alive for so much longer.
