I Was Going to Do Homework, but I Got Tired Instead

I thought we could all use a little vibe music to read by 💜 Hit Play ^^ and listen while you read

In true me fashion I have ultimately decided to avoid doing one task by focusing on another, less imminent task.

This post will have no point. There won’t be a tutorial (though I do have a few in mind) and there won’t be any real updates. This post is just me enjoying this little corner of the interwebs the way I used to many moons ago when I lived on Blogspot. Some of you may remember those days, some of you might not. That’s the kind of posting I’m going to try and integrate here on the website because it brought me so much joy the summer I blogged regularly.

I can hear my teachers now, telling me that diary-style blogging isn’t the correct way to drive audience traffic to your blog or your work (I’m not talking about my upcoming class about finding an audience. This is written well before that class) and they’re probably right. They’re almost definitely right, even. I can see how doing posts like many of the ones I’ve done already can help drive traffic to my presence on the internet (or lack thereof) but sometimes it’s fun to walk off the beaten path once in a while and indulge yourself in little harmless diary posts. Especially when they’re the ones you enjoy reading yourself anyway.

Over the holiday break our family experienced a tragedy, having lost someone very loved and important to us. I won’t go into details, but lets just say things have been in a huge upheaval these last five days. That’s part of why I want to start blogging this way again, even though I know it probably isn’t “correct.” This is the content I want to make. This is the kind of thing I enjoy. Really, I can only write this and hope that you like it too.

Anywhooooo lets move on.

On Sunday we had a New Years Eve party, one which I wanted to document for the blog but ended up forgetting to take literally any pictures aside from a whoooole lotta selfies. As you can tell, I was going for a whole look and it actually turned out exactly like I wanted it to. The dress is from Merbunnybaby and the wig is from amazon. I keep forgetting how much I love my pink wig until the next time I put it on, then I remember all over again!

I used to have pink hair, and one time it actually looked like my wig. Those days are long gone, my friends, because I no longer have the physical or emotional energy needed to keep up with bleaching / dyeing my hair to keep it looking the way I want. Plus, like, I never know how to style my hair anyway and a wig usually comes pre-styled, so it saves me the trouble of fighting with a curling iron or frowning in distaste with how my hair looks after I use the crimper.

Our friends Tad, his wife Kathy, my friend Chris and her husband Alan, and eventually my friend Mandi all came over! We watched the Barbie movie (which I looove) and played Mario Party! Mandi came over later, at the urging of Chris, who Mandi has known since forever, and stayed until everyone decided it was time to call it for the night. It was so much fun having everyone over and I think it helped ease our heavy hearts following the tragedy that happened on Friday. At the best of times I’m someone who prefers to be alone, but sometimes you need a lot of good friends to surround you and make you laugh to help you through the bad times.

That being said, my social battery is pretty well spent and I’m excited to stay home with my books and my tea and my husband and my pets.

I’m a very eclectic person. I like a lot of wildly different things and I like them equally all at once. I’m sorry to say I’ll never be one of those people who can find and stick to one single aesthetic. I am a mosaic of all the things I’ve loved. A walking billboard for things that have crossed my path in life, and I don’t see that changing any time soon. I’ve tried to be someone who can stick to one look, one aesthetic, one vibe—but unfortunately for you, dear reader, I am too restless to settle down with one single aesthetic. Be prepared to see me completely decked out in kawaii goodness one day, then all done up in my finest Twee dresses, then potato-fied in my jammies.

But hey, there’s nothing wrong with that 💜

I can’t wait to post more, and I hope you’ll stick with me while I word-vomit all over this website with my thinkie-thoughts and dumb pictures taken of my pets. I keep thinking I want to start a YouTube channel but every time I do I remember that this is the form I’m most comfortable in. I write much better than I speak, and sometimes talking too much makes me tired. I feel like I can better stretch out my arms here, in the blog, than I ever could on a YouTube video. Especially since a lot of the content I would want to make, I’m much too self-conscious to make the way I’d want to in a video format. It’s much better if I do it this way. I can do exactly what I want, the way I want to do it, and honestly whats the point of doing it if I can’t make it the way I want?

There will be video content though. I want to make makeup tutorials, and that sort of thing seems like it would be easier in video format than in photo. I’ve scoured the internet looking for examples of how people have done that sort of thing in a written format and couldn’t find a single one I’m happy with. I might just do them in the form of Instagram reels, reposted here. You’d be cool with that, right?

Okay, I think I’ve yammered on long enough. I really need to get started on my homework. I’ve gotta figure out how to write a one thousand word romance short story this week, and I’m working on my pitch for my storytelling class. Good thing I’ve got my tea!

See you next time!
