Tonight I sit in my new (to me) reading chair, alone on Christmas Eve. My last post was a month ago, and what a month it's been! I've been busy, and there have been some big changes in my life. The biggest being that I've moved into my own place. It's a basement suite without … Continue reading Alone on Christmas Eve (and loving it)
Streaming Instead of Screaming
In my last post, I mentioned that there were two people in the world whose loss I didn't think I could handle. Now one of them has COVID. Amy was over for my birthday the week before she tested positive, so I had to quarantine and got tested for the fifth time. Negative. The tests … Continue reading Streaming Instead of Screaming
What I Got For Christmas 2017
So I was watching a bunch of YouTube videos of people showing what they'd gotten for Christmas, and it kind of made me want to share what I'd gotten. Except I haven't made a video in a while and it felt a bit weird for the first video in a while to be a bunch … Continue reading What I Got For Christmas 2017
Tis The Season I Guess
I don't know why I don't write much anymore. It isn't like interesting things aren't happening to me. Last week I was in my first music video and then drove to the middle of nowhere where I proceeded to lock myself out of my car for the second time since I started driving two months … Continue reading Tis The Season I Guess
How To Find Holiday Spirit
It has been three days and I haven't posted anything, though not for lack of trying. I think my problem has been that I've been getting too sentimental, too personal. It got to the point where I couldn't take myself seriously in the rereading of any of it. And so, I've decided to take a … Continue reading How To Find Holiday Spirit
Poker: A Mental Battle
On my mom's side, I have 20 aunts and uncles and 25 cousins, three of which have spouses and one who has a toddler and a baby due any day now. Including my siblings and I, my maternal grandparents have 28 grandchildren and nearly 2 great-grandchildren. I am the youngest of the older half of the … Continue reading Poker: A Mental Battle
A Short Post
I was going to write what was supposed to be my first Arts+Crafts post, but I've never painted a mug before today and I kind of messed up. You'll have to settle for a picture of a dollar-store mug I drew on with a multi-surface paint pen. It was much easier than painting with acrylics. It … Continue reading A Short Post
Holiday Outfits
The Holidays are upon us and so is an excuse to buy clothes! Personally, I love this time of year because it is a great time for an abundance of metallics, especially for New Year's. For Christmas this year, I'm going for warm and elegant. I found a dark-red sweater with stud embellishments on the … Continue reading Holiday Outfits
How To Go Christmas Shopping
Don't. Just stay home and drink hot chocolate happily knowing you ordered everything online a month ago. Otherwise you'll end up with less than a week until Christmas and less than half your list checked off, like me. And you'll be cursing your own stupidity as you navigate a crowded mall and wait in crazy mile-long … Continue reading How To Go Christmas Shopping
Decorate A Dorm Room For Christmas For £5 ($9)
My dorm room is pretty standard. I have a fixed bed, desk, wardrobe, and shelves. I'm lucky enough to have a small en-suite and the building itself only opened last year so I am the second person to occupy this space. It's about half the size of last year's dorm, including the en-suite (last year's … Continue reading Decorate A Dorm Room For Christmas For £5 ($9)
