Based on the posts of his I’ve seen, I think The Friendly Sharptooth just enjoyed descriptive writing.

@ImpracticalDino With less than half the letters filled out, you got it! My favorite of the popular nicknames for comet 12P/Pons-Brooks...which I recently tried and failed to find through binoculars at its peak viewing time.

Your turn!

Yip-p-p-pee! Nice nickname for comets, Rainbow.
Pretty cool to know that "Mother of Dragons" relates to astronomy, now Mo-o-o knows.

Sucks to hear that you couldn't find them during peak viewing time. I hope the time to see those comets again come around soon for you.

It was this comet in particular, which won’t be visible again until 2095, but I’m hopeful I will have chances to see others! Just a question, though, how’d you get the answer without already knowing what it meant?

Anyway—Y?

Thanks for clarifying, I was starting to wonder about the post order as well.  Stay safe, Liz!

@GreyLizard226 You know, The Friendly Sharptooth hasn’t been around here in ages and is unlikely to come back just to reply to the complaints you keep making about posts of his from more than 10 years ago.

What possibly made you choose that word?

Mo-o-o-o isn't really reading at the moment. However, the fishy does want to ask if anyone else can relate to the situation that I have regarding books. So like, I have plenty of books in my bookshelves as of now, many that I have bought recently or in the past because those books have piqued my interest in some form or capacity. And yet, lots of them have just ended up collecting dust, staying unread, some for a few years at this point! It's not that I do not want to read them...but maybe, mayhaps...I'm just too distracted/focusing on one thing, or just prefer to do other things, whether focusing on my future career aspects, play video games, watch YouTube/listen to music, other obligations, etc! Like, when will I ever be in the correct mo-o-o-od to pick up a book for once?

This sounds exactly like the reading slump I fell into for a few years due to internet overuse and school taking up most of my time. Embarrassingly, I’ve only just started reading again in the past year or two! And let me tell you, I spent a lot of time waiting around to be in the right mood for a read…which, as it turns out, doesn’t actually work. The internet in particular damaged my attention span to the point where I never found myself turning to books in my spare time anymore. It became my instinct to get on the computer instead. I realized I’d have to set aside time specifically for reading if I ever wanted to go back to it, so that’s what I’ve done—and I’m quite glad I did! I didn’t realize how much I’d missed it!

As for the question posed by this thread, I just got a copy of An Immense World from the library, having been in the mood for some nature nonfiction. Prior to that, I read UFO, an interesting (and unusually objective) history of UFO sightings—which was actually part of the reason I ended up revisiting a certain pair of LBT characters.

I set pretty high standards and expectations for myself, usually trying to set the bar high for my goals. I'm luckily not as obsessed with it as I used to, up to the point where I'd rather just retreat in my shell and start collapsing when the going gets very rough and I don't meet the expectation that I set. These days, striving for high achievement (and perfect, if possible, school GPA) is what I still do, but I definitely will not overdo myself and take care of my mental health. It should be a priority taken seriously for everyone. Number one priority, even!

I’ve always been exactly the same way and have only recently started realizing how perfectionism has harmed me. It’s good that you’re finding a better balance for yourself at a younger age!

JUPITER!
