2020

Happy New Year, my friends!





Can y’all believe that it’s 2020??? Because I know I can’t.




It was only last year that it was 2014, okay? I’m definitely still an awkward twelve-year-old who doesn’t wear any other color than black and who’s reading LotR for the umpteenth time.

Oh wait, I still am reading LotR for the umpteenth time.

Never mind.

At least I’ve graduated to wearing some grays and blues now. XP



As I thought over what I did this past year, it surprised me how little I actually did. X”D It felt like so much. Here’s a rough outline of some of the highlights of my 2019.

Other Big Events of 2019:

·         I earned my purple and blue belts in Kung Fu.

·         I ended my junior school year in May and started my senior school year in October.

·         I participated in the April and July Camp Nanos, won those, and then tried joining November’s Nano, but didn’t win that (actually didn’t even come remotely close, rip).

·         I got my first iPhone.

·         I got my driver’s permit.



2019 was an amazing year, tbh. There was pain, joy, tears, laughter, work, fun, growth, and discovery.
Growing up is scary, man. But it’s worth it in the end.   
Let’s have a toast to 2020, yeah? May there be much joy and growth this year. 

To 2020! 

Namarie,

    I've seen you wear colors other than black, gray, and blue. Granted, it is extremely rare. ;)

  5. "Growing up is scary, man." I relate.
    Reading LOTR for the umpteenth time? Like that's something you're ever going to grow out of? I will keep reading those books until I die. ;)
    (This blog is great and I keep forgetting about it because it doesn't show up in my Wordpress reader. That shows how lazy I am. ;) )

Those Questions You Get Asked By Distant Relatives And How To Answer Them

Greetings, all! You know those questions that most kids get asked sometime in their life by well-meaning great-aunts, distant cousins, and the family dentist? Yeah, mm-hm. Those questions. The ones you get tired of answering because usually the people who are asking don’t even care about the answer; they just ask out of politeness or because they don’t know what else to talk about with a kid. I hate those questions. With a passion. So, I decided to think of different answers to give when I get asked those questions, and I’m going to share a few with you. I can’t wait to see people’s reactions when I answer with these. It’s going to be priceless. XD DISCLAIMER: Always remember to be polite, respectful, and courteous when you answer an adult; even if you’ve heard the question they are asking 100,000,000 times and are sick and tired of it. Thank you. ;-D Question #1: “What Grade Are You In?” Normal Answer: “I’m in 10 th grade.” New and Improved Answer:...
