75! Oh wait... 76.

That last post was my 75th post! I didn't even know. I have to make sure I notice when it's my 100th post. There shall be a Par-TAY!

I'm currently watching the Daily Show from yesterday. I'm all behind on tv and youtube and reading blog posts because of having family over last week. That and I've been reading actual books a lot more lately. Which surprisingly I haven't done in a while. So I'm sort of devouring things again. Which is good for my literacy, and bad for everything else.

I have to finish writing an essay tonight. I'm arguing against Thoreau. I basically twisted the quote I'm arguing to say that Thoreau was against technology in general, by saying that it doesn't at all apply to modern life.

Are you bored? Because my essay is making me bored as well.

The little bit of my NaNoWriMo story that I've written I'm going to post. After that I'd like to keep working on it, and probably post a section on here every few weeks. It's about this girl who can see when people are going to die.

5AG is ending in its current form. I'm so sad. Every time that something I considered to be stable ends, I can't help but think about all the things that have specifically ended for me. Mostly living in certain places. But I will be sad. I found italktosnakes, then 5AG and then the vlogbrothers. So if not for 5AG I wouldn't have a group of people I always knew I could be safe with.

Probably no one would be reading this if not for the vlogbrothers... =/

Let's talk about somethings that are happy!

IT SNOWED TODAY! My first snow in three years =D <3 I hope it snows all night and sticks so that there's at least a centimeter. Because even a centimeter of snow would be AMAZING. My favorite season is here for REAL!

Then because of a jazz band field trip I don't have to go to either of my AP classes. Not that I precisely dislike the classes. But it's nice to get a break from mu harder classes.

I always think it's funny that my two worst core classes were the ones I ended up getting put into AP for xD

I feel like I have too much to say! No more hiatuses again, or I'll spew nonsense out of my mouth for ages.

Off to finish my essay!

Update on life

I haven't been here in a while.

How are y'all doing?

I'm doing alright. I've read some books (the Hunger Games series, and in the middle of Fallout right now). I've watched some movies (Red, and Harry Potter). Ate some turkey (and ambrosia, and mashed potatoes, and stuffing, and rolls, and PIE). Had some family visit (despite not being American, they visit during Thanksgiving for the food). Gotten a french horn from school (ABSOLUTE JOY!!). And reconnected with some people in a necessary way.

That last bit really was necessary. There is only so much solitary life a person can take (not including friends far away, I'm talking irl), before finally they suffocate. I've just been so busy I never got to see anybody. And then someone else... Well how that got to where it was is extremely complicated, but burying all the issues for two months and the person as well did not work. Things are being fixed I hope. Only time will tell.

And then I officially gave up NaNoWriMo. First I gave up, then was convinced to start again, then changed to the ywp, and finally just completely gave up. I've learned that I cannot manage handwriting around 1800 words a day. And until I get a laptop that doesn't lose the ability to use the delete and space key with enough frequency to get in the way, I will be handwriting.

Also, I must say I am immensely happy that Alan and Luke gave away free digital copies of Erase This for thanksgiving. I'm listening to it on repeat right now.

So that is a basic update. I will be back to blogging properly soon I promise.
