GUYS. IT’S 2019. THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING. I’M NOT PREPARED. *passes out* Seeing as this is the first post of 2019 (mmm, such prestige), I guess this is the moment where I scrape together something meaningful I learned in 2018, accented with pictures no one cares about and a teary-eyed epilogue of cliché sentimentalism about [...]
‘Twas the night before Christmas, And due to a delay, Everyone was wailing— Even the INTJ. And that is as far as my poetic abilities extend. But no, it’s true. Most people think of Christmas Eve as a night of laughter and joy and glad tidings spread throughout the holly-decked halls. My Christmas Eve [...]
Hello, folks, and welcome this Thursday's broadcast by yours truly. I think it's high time for another Awkward Adventure of an Abnormal American. Buckle up. We all recognize that I’m shy, nerdy, and hard to get to know. Apart from my awkward (and usually bizarre) social behavior, I state my lack of people-skills ten times [...]
You know how we were talking about honesty? I take it back. Anna decided to prey upon my weakened, vulnerable state and finagle me into telling you guys the Mysterious Tale of the Bathroom Incident. She obviously loves listening to me embarrass myself. And obviously, since I care nothing for embarrassment, I agreed. The year [...]
*returns from the dead* Well hello, my lovelies! I've been gone for... *counts on fingers* Yeah, let's not figure out how long I've been gone. Last week, my internet became so incredibly slow that WordPress decided to throw in the towel and stop cooperating. The week before that... Well, while you guys were waiting patiently [...]
Newsflash: I'm not on top of things. I know, I know, that's such a shock. [insert disinterest blinking here] Seeing as I'm not on top of things, this week found me scrambling last minute to provide something interesting to post about. (Which, at this point, isn't much of a rarity.) So I sat down and [...]
Do you ever feel like you're careening at break-neck speed towards a goal that never gets closer? (Yes, that's a paradox. Bear with me.) At the beginning of August, I had plans. Big plans. I'd finally found my writing pace after months of being unproductive, and my book was flowing better than ever. I'd acquired [...]
Have I ever told you guys the story of my book title? No? *cracks knuckles* Some of you may recall a time before Aeterna was Aeterna. If you do, I feel sorry for you; my writing was a mess back then. Naturally, I didn't know it was a mess -- not at the time -- [...]
Aaaaand she's back! Really!! This is not another trick!!! *confetti and fireworks and glitter even though no one will ever believe me ever again* I told you it wouldn't be long before I returned from my hiatus, and lo and behold, here I am, bringing sarcasm and glitter in my wake. You guys are troopers. [...]
School is finally winding down, and no, just because I'm a homeschooler doesn't mean I don't get a summer break. But with the end of school also comes the end of co-op, and unlike that incredibly dramatic and entirely false alarm I gave a couple months ago, this really will be my last class at [...]
