Hiii! Here's a little monthly ramble, talking about everything new in my life! A birthday party I went to, my grandma embarrassing me in public (but I still love her), finally rewatching Star Wars, the book series I'm currently reading, and more stories of my new apartment neighbors (vegetable man update, once again). Hope you've all been well!

I also finally rewatched Star Wars

Flower4u

If they never watched StarWars, they should watch it how it got released, also you should watch Andor, its such a good series, it soooo underated in my opinion 🌻🌻

That vegetable man seems so fun to talk to lol. I just started throne of glass. I’ve always seen it at bookstores so I decided to get it and so far I like it a lot.

Sean

I literally just started watching the Star Wars movies for the first time

fully on your side, chocolate is a cop out, you have to commit to a wrapper type. be bitter queen

Fried Chicken Cutlet

Your apartment complex seems like full of interesting people. We look forward to updates on vegetable man every month now. This is a man with a story to share and also please be careful around your neighbor's son!

I agree with the chocolate thing. Chocolate is like a whole sub-genre of candy and there are SO MANY kinds of chocolates with different twists and variations that it’s a greater chance you don’t like some of them as opposed to liking all of them. Star Wars Question: Release date. This is coming from me AND my dad (someone who also watched the franchise coming out with HIS dad). I watched The Force Awakens first technically, but I would 1000% say that the Original Trilogy is the proper way to get into Star Wars before going back and dealing with the Prequels. The Original Trilogy has a lot of the nitty gritty action that you expect when you hear about Star Wars. It may raise a lot of questions, yes. But that’s so that when you finish it you can watch the Prequels and have that moment of “OOHHHH SO THAT’S WHY THAT HAPPENED” and then it’s also really fun because they have some of the best lightsaber fights. George Lucas technically recommends that you watch it in Chronological order, but he could say anything and fans would agree with it with their last dying breaths. I personally think that watching in release order gives some of the bigger scenes a lot more meaning, but I also understand watching in timeline order. It all depends on what you’re looking at and for, I guess. For instance, I saw someone who said that [spoiler for those who haven’t seen] watching from the very beginning and following Anakin’s fall and eventual return to the light made Return of the Jedi more emotional and significant for them. Completely valid opinion! Like I said, it really depends on the kind of experience you want to have. I say if you’re watching for the tragedy and heroism, watch in chronological order. If you’re watching to see the universe as it’s become, watch in release order. TL;DR: Originals, then Prequels, THEN if you feel like having everything you’ve just learned upended, you can watch the Sequels. If you’re just watching for Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman, flip the first two.

This could all just be one big nothing-burger (it probably is) and I am so sorry for that.

The Door

This weekend wilm probably be my last race before a looonnng time I'm so sad 🚪😔

The Door

Bro's about to have a great time

Klassic03

I stg parents and grandparents are the most socially oblivious people you will EVER meet😭

I’m usually on your side Glow, but unless the answer gets called into question. Chocolate totally counts as an answer for candy Lol. Also hearing you be a Prequel fans made me smile because I love them too! I definitely went as Anakin for Halloween one year I think when Revenge Of The Sith come out? As for the question about watch order. It’s common agreed that it’s 4-6 and then 1-3. But you could make an argument that you could watch the prequels first and then the original trilogy. Now this is a bit more serious because hearing about that guy made my eye rolls. I would put up boundaries and just say you didn’t finish his book. By the sounds of it, he absolutely insecure about his own ego and you shouldn’t have to deal with that. It didn’t click with me that it was May until your summer camp audio dropped. Honestly my May has been stressful recently, but there has been good things happening too. Here’s hoping June treats us both better!

1. Haha my family does that fixating on sad scenarios thing too. It's weirdly cathartic.... at first lol. Makes me wonder why we never do that with happy situations from the past. 2. I have never thought about that chocolate thing but you make a really good point. I need to remember that one. 3. I bet your mom and grandma were getting a kick out of messing with you lol. It would probably take an American talent to keep messing with that tv controller so your grandma got what she wanted in the end hehe. 4. I love the original Star Wars trilogy, they are super charming. I more often than not prefer chronological order over release date order, but for the first time, release date order is best for the authentic experience. 5. Throne of Glass sounds interesting, def checking it out. I wonder if all that lore dump in that Heir of Fire book you read is just setup for future book events. Background lore fascinates me when its done right. 6. I agree with Dex about the guy's book. Careful around that guy, he might use your interactions with him as fuel for his next AI book lol.

Valhalla

For Star Wars I watch them to make it sort of like flashbacks. It goes IV, I, V, II, III, VI

I swear apartment communities have the weirdest people in the most interesting way 😭 Last week, I parked next to this one car blasting salsa music in the middle of the night. The guy offers me a beer and starts going on a tangent about something and I just had to stand there nodding awkwardly lol. Also if you love horror, pleaseee watch Obsession. Thought my friends were glazing but its totally justified. Curry Barker is a genius and Inde Navarrette’s acting was phenomenal!

V

At the end of this month I might accomplish on of the biggest goals of my career. 🤞🏻 Wish me luck

isolationSnow

Did the guy with the book seem like he was genuinely interested in your opinions on his work? AI diction is super noticeable these days, so I hope he’s not planning on fooling his way into people’s good graces. Or maybe it’s just a lazy attempt at picking up girls, lol. Good luck.

This is a comment I totally wrote about your situation with the neighbor who wrote a novel using AI: Oh wow—this is such a fascinating narrative! 🌟 It’s not just a story about a neighbor; it’s a profound commentary on the modern human condition. Honestly? That’s the key takeaway here. The irony of using AI to write a novel only to face awkward human consequences is—frankly—poetic justice.

RTL

Sounds like there’s never a boring moment at your apartment complex 😭

Simon R.

Well my May consisted of dealing with a female friends relationship drama, a male friends depression incl. suicide thoughts and my own drama with some stuff. 🔥🐶🔥 This is fine 🤣 At least I got around 5h of sleep a night, so I’m basically rested adjacent 😅 Well complaining over. Positive thoughts! At least I didn’t die this month 🤪

Deliverer

My May has gone pretty swell. I found out that the author for my favorite webcomic started working as the artist for a new webcomic after being basically radio silent for like 3 years, so I’ve been pretty happy about that. Also that neighbor with the AI book sounds like a genuine weirdo😭. Like, unless you’ve actually seen her, I would not be very surprised he lied about having a girlfriend as well to make himself seem more cooler

kasper

star wars themed audio... 👀

kasper

also to answer your question: i would genuinely recommend watching them in order of release date, its much better that way and to me its strangely less confusing. (also you should definitely go see the Mandolorian and Grogu movie, you don't need to watch the others first, its very cool and cute!)

Flo

I could listen to your rambles for hours. There’s just something so comforting about them

Orvus Son

Birthday party this month, huh? Well, that makes two of us. I also have a birthday this month: MINE haha! It's this Friday.

My thought when you mentioned that "chocolate was what everyone put" was "that's not a candy? That's like saying a cookie or ice cream is your favorite snack. But what kind of cookies/ice cream" What's going on in my life? Starting a job hunt, I feel I've outgrown my current workplace and dont see anything to better myself there. And started shopping for a truck so I can go dirt biking easier than bringing a trailer around on my car that can barely handle the weight of my trailer/gear/bike. And your neighbor sounds a lot like an old coworker of mine who was a pathological liar. We'd just kinda be polite, say hi and just was careful with our interactions around him and noted the lies he'd tell one of us and changes he told someone else to the same story 15 minutes later. If your neighbor isn't asking for an opinion on his book, I just wouldn't bring it up. If he's looking for opinions, you could say that you didn't get through it all and it wasn't your cup of tea or a genre/style that you enjoy or something along those lines.

Well, fist of all, 3 out of 25 deserves at least an honorable mention and some prize for honesty. Then considering Star Wars, I am yet to watch all of the movies myself, but I would say that it's always a good thing to consume art by order of release date. For example The Hunger Games sequels are actually prequels, and they are still fun to read and/or watch, seeing how events in those lead and add up to the original storyline. Wow, the vegetable man with a new lime flavor now, huh?

Braden

I’ve been wanting to leave the small town in Illinois I live in and move toward the Cali/Oregon area for a while now, and this month has been the most motivating time for me. It’s a bit scary, since I’d be doing everything alone and would have to make new friends and everything would be completely new, but I’d rather be nervous now, than regret never leaving later on. I have no idea where I’d wanna be, or even what towns or cities would be good options, but it’s worth a try :). That’s all for my month, and also, I really wanna know what the vegetable man can do with a lime. Have a good day everyone! 🙏🏻

Braden

I’m also halfway through reading The Brothers Karamazov, and I’m in love with it so far :)

Josh

The Vegetable Man is such an icon and I don't even know him, like I WANNA know what this dude can do with a lime

Listening to this while playing 007: first light btw🤌🏾🤌🏾

May for me flew to past, barely got time to register it with how much work i had. 7 am till 18 pm 24/7 are no joke. Well i did some things: - Request my first ever art commisson, which just got Finished today. - Watched netflix Daredevil s1 with my twin (peak cinema) - Dissapointed that my local cinema didnt have Mandolorian and Grogu movie... - My prediction for arsenal winning the prem came though, now for them winning UCL and im 2/2 for Predictions on them. I think thats it? Like i said, work killing me and my free time.

1:15... 67🫴 2:05 One of my most memorable birthdays for me is one was playing Garena Free Fire match where both me and my twin and 2 our best friends in the morning of my bday after we had sleep over, hours before main bday party, we were in last top 2 Squads, last circle, all alive, absoulute dominating entire match, when all of sudden I got killed by a fricking loot drop container dropping on top of me and denying us full Squad win! FUCK YOU ZEUS! FOR SENDING WEAK ASS LOOT DROP ON MY ASS! 3:05 read too many reddit stories of those to always have it saved as "But here comes a bad part" 😭 4:08 NO, ITS NOT A CANDY! CANDYS ARE UNNATRUAL MAKE SHIFT FOODS, WHILE CHOOCLATE CAN BE MADE FROM NATURAL COCO BEANS. So a seed or flavour if you want. 8:00 it cant be that bad - - OHHHHHHH 9:40 You should have told them, whispered it was very Akward, atleast try😭 10:21 My mum introduced my twin and I to star wars when we were 7,since she got cds of all 6 eps, so we watched them. In what order? Cant remember and probably didnt get buzzed for most famous twist of all time bc i was just 7 years old😭 Recently watched Maul Shadow Lord and it was peak star wars. And Maul being my favourite star wars character. 12:02 Fuck both, here goes best one: I. - II. - IV. - V. - III. - VI. Best of both Worlds, you start on timeline, but also dont get spoiled, ROTS now serves as great flashback movie. Ofc now in these age, gotta add clone wars and Star wars Rebels too, plus New Maul Shadow Lord as well. Since all these are peak star wars shows. For LA shows... Better to leave to side. Oh! ROGUE ONE AND ANDOR TOO TO WATCH! 14:07 Thank god. For being kate for once. Only time i got screwed for a movie in cinema was for Spiderman ITSV, when local cinema moved it 3 hours early, so i missed it and only got to watch it in 2020,so missed whole 1 full year of absoulute cinema. 14:46 same for me nowdays. Before covid, so easy. After getting covid 2 times, barely can remember stuff. Only get to know all names by end of Season or start of 2nd Season of show. Netflix The Dark show is good example recently for this. 16:00 Just described a bad world Building in writing. Anything you do in world Building must have significance that it allies to the setting and enivirement your characters us in and ofc, checkov gun for later in the story. 18:45 I rather give you my male reader inserts fanfic to read than chat gtp slop😭 20:15 one of many reasons to live in your own house and not in an apartman Building. 22:15 He gonna make an lemonade, isnt he?

I've had the first Throne of Glass on my bookshelf for awhile now waiting its turn while I go down my reading list. Looks like I'll have to push it back a little further so I can add the prequel novel first! If you are looking for book suggestions, may I put forward The Ranger's Apprentice series (even if they'd be classified as an "easy read" haha). It follows a ward of the state who is brought into the secretive policing force of the kingdom's Ranger Corps: think medieval Texas Rangers using longbows and wrapped in mystery and rumor. It does not have a thousand names and locations for you to remember and I find that it still holds up rereading as an adult though it was written for early teens. Probably my favorite book series to date!

Dynamic

Are you enjoying Throne of Glass? I’ve heard good things about it

Axel Von Wolfhausen

My birthday was on the 24th, and while I did not have a party, I will accept this wonderful ramble as a gift. Love the tales of Vegetable Man. Hes like a Roald Dahl character. As a Star Wars fan, 4-6, 1-3 is the best order. Also, chocolate is a candy for sure. I'd have just picked crazy answers in your sitch though. Favorite animal? Flamingo. Favorite candy? Saltwater Taffy but only if it comes directly from Atlantic City New Jersey. Etc. Thanks for the ramble, looking forward to the next! <3

My ears perked up eagerly when you mentioned Star Wars! So the prequels almost had Ewan McGregor working with Leonardo DiCaprio instead of Hayden Christensen?! Meaning no disrespect to Hayden - Annakin's character was poorly written, but DiCaprio might have been capable of bringing out more recognizable personality and emotions. He may have worked better with the rest of the cast as well, especially with Natalie Portman - the relationship between Annakin and Padme could have been much more believable with DiCaprio and Portman together. At least... that's my opinion. Thanks for bringing up that topic (and the rest of ramble too!)

CaiusPerryn

Out of curiosity: Which order did you choose?
