The Kobayashi Maru.
Writing a blog post every day is difficult. But I can do it! I mean, I really don’t know what to write about right now so I’ll just start writing. An idea will eventually come to me. Right? Maybe not. I’m going to give a go either way. Here I go!! Writing… stuff. Just waiting for inspiration to hit me. Not that I want to be hit literally—just figuratively. Note to self: I don’t think that I used that em dash correctly, but you’ll just have to deal with it. *le gasp* Inspiration!! Nope. Nevermind. Actually, yes. Inspiration. Maybe? You…

Cuddles with my muppies.
I miss my muppies. They used to sleep with me on my bed, all cuddly and warm. It was especially nice on cold nights. At least I have Nigel… my big big teddy bear that a friend gave me. M3

Dancing babies.
This video appeared as an ad before a video I watched the other day. April 3, 2019 Update:The original video that I shared has been taken down, so I’ve replaced it with a video of equal beauty. It’s amazing. Simply amazing. Everyone needs to see this video, which is why I’m sharing it here! You’re welcome. M3

Already?!
We’re already halfway through the month. Yeah. For realsies. I, for one, am really frustrated by that fact because I’m trying to do more. I’m really trying to get back on track and it feels like my body just won’t cooperate. I’m sleeping a lot but having troubles falling asleep, my stomach doesn’t want food yet I’m so hungry, I’m devoting time to working but my brain is too tired to focus—it’s irritating! Although “irritating” is kind of an understatement. I think that I’m just doing life wrong. M3

I have a plan!
Actually, no I don’t! And that’s okie dokie. Or is it? I’ve often wondered if I should have a plan for my life. Looking at other kids as I fumbled through my teen years, I wondered how they could have such direction for where they were headed. When asked, “what are you gonna do when you grow up?” they had a response all lined up. Whereas I did not. And while that didn’t usually bother me, there were times in which it did. Don’t get me wrong, there were times I declared I was going to become a veterinarian, a…

Hey.
Sup? Whatcha doin’? Me? Oh, I’m just waiting for a grilled cheese sandwich to fall from the sky into my lap. Just my regular Sunday thing. I don’t actually expect that to happen, but you never know. We live in a crazy world and anything—literally anything—is possible. If a grilled cheese is gonna fall from the sky, I want to be ready! I don’t want to miss that kind of opportunity, yanno? Life’s too short to miss these kinds of things. Fleeting moments, so precious. But enough about me… What are you doing? M3

Learning languages.
I’m quite intrigued by language. It’s something that’s always mystified me in a way. I know several languages, mostly computer based ones, but still. Language helps to define our perception of the world and learning other languages can help you to see new perspectives… view the world differently. Plus you can communicate with more people and it doesn’t hurt your résumé! I used to be able to manage French decently, but I lost that years ago. I can still loosely understand French, but I want to relearn it to the point that I can hold up a normal conversation again.…

I’m just gonna write a paragraph.
A pair of giraffe? No, no… a paragraph. Oh! A pear gaffe, got it. Para-graph! Parrot glass? Okay, now you’re just trying too hard. Hah, whatevskis. I’ve decided to write a single paragraph about…something. I haven’t decided the subject yet. I’m thinking maybe a little blurb about my day, like an update kinda thing, yanno? Or maybe talk about something that’s been on my mind. Although if I did that, I’d sound incredibly narcissistic as I’m kinda hating myself right now. Not like in an extremely bad way quite, but still. Oh no… now look what I’ve done. Bleh. Bedtime…

Cheese melt.
Food. It’s a wonderful thing. And over the past week I’ve been working to eat better and I’m totally obsessed with tomato cheese melts. You start with bread, add some sliced tomato, a dash of pepper, then a layer of cheese. Pop that into the oven for a few minutes and presto!! A yummy snack! M3

I can’t write.
I mean, I can write. Right? But I can’t write. You know what I’m saying? That is all. Carry on! M3

💩
I’ve been seriously considering not publishing a post today. But I must maintain this streak; the world depends on it! Or something like that. Really though, I’m just trying to do a thing. I’m not good at it, but I’m trying. Even if each post is poorly composed and lacks substance, I’m doing it. Nobody can stop me, except myself. And while I may be struggling… I’m gonna write a post today. There. I’ve now written a post today. M3

A new friend!
I met up with a person for lunch and I didn’t die. Exciting, right? We got along really well and lost track of time talking and walking around downtown. A fun day with a new friend! Gonna go to sleepies now. 🙂 M3

Nope.
Not doing this tonight. I just… I just can’t write a blog post tonight. Today was a super busy day and I didn’t even get everything done. Rar. Such… frustrate. Keep it chill!! Or don’t. I’m not your mom. M3

Sleep is weird.
I’m doing a lot of sleeping these days. At the same time, I’m struggling to get enough sleep. Yanno? That doesn’t seem to make sense, but it’s where I’m at. I’ll lie in bed for hours waiting to be taken away to dreamland on the sleepy time express, but the train just sits in the station. I want to sleep, but it doesn’t happen. Even after going through my tools to try and get me more ready for sleep, I’m still just… not sleeping. Once I finally do fall asleep—usually towards 4 or 5 in the morning—I don’t wake up…

Mad Libs!
Okie dokie… here are two mad libs I completed for the fun of it. Love Letter The Words Person in room: Cassandra Adjective: wise Verb: jump Body part: foot Number: 23 Noun: box Adverb: temporarily Verb: woo Plural pronoun: sporks Other person in room: Derrick The Letter Dear Cassandra, You are extremely wise and I jump you! I want to kiss your foot 23 times. You make my box burn with desire. When I first saw you, I temporarily stared at you and fell in love. Will you woo out with me? Don’t let your parents discourage you, sporks are…

Four ways to help a struggling friend.
It’s frustrating dealing with mental health issues including depression and whatnot. Not many people understand it and fewer people know what to do about it. People want to help, but their either too far away or don’t know what to do. There’s a lot that can be done for those struggling with mental health. I don’t have all the answers, and it can be different from person to person, but here’s some ideas I’ve had. 1. Listen This can be the hardest thing to do. When you want to help someone through a situation, you feel like you have to…

I finally pulled out my paints.
I’ve been meaning to pull out my painting stuff all month. Tonight I finally did it! I cued up Bob Ross on Netflix and got messy. Oh, hey! I just realized that they didn’t say, “take chances, make mistakes, get messy,” in the new Magic School Bus series. That’s one of my most favourite quotes of all time! Huh. 🤔 Bob was painting a beautiful seascape with fiery skies and deep-coloured ocean water. I started with the red and orange skies but ended up painting dark and jagged mountains taking over the canvas. Anyway… yeah. I’m going to keep painting.…

*insert title here*
I’m trying to write a blog post tonight, but I can’t figure out what to actually say. What I intended to write was an apology to everyone I’ve been ignoring the past few days. But that just seems like weird and like I’m just asking for attention in a twisted way. *ignores online friends* “Sorry, but I’m just not able to deal with people right now! But I’m still feeling lonely.” It’s not a bad thing to want attention, though. Everyone needs attention. It’s part of being human. Right? But I’m not ignoring my internet friends because I want more…

Torn.
Do you ever feel pulled in two directions at the same time? That’s kinda what I’m feeling right now. Except… * big sigh* it’s multiple directions and on every level of my being. I really, really don’t want to write a blog post. But I also really don’t want to miss a day. So yes, I’m posting yet another self-aware “this isn’t a real post” almost apology post. Ain’t it great?
