These past few days, I've continued my Bob Ross classes (my last one is tomorrow) and I completed another painting (this one took two days as it's rather complicated.) I think the most recent tutorial we've used is the same one Ann Reardon, one of my favourite YouTubers, uses in this video:

Watch on YouTube

Or at least I thought it. It turns out they're just very similar, but the one we did has a trail and the land shape is different, plus it's mistier. But either way, honestly, my finished painting isn't perfect, but I think it's still pretty great! I'd say it's pretty great for my first time painting mountains, and I'm at least glad that I salvaged the snow caps on top of the mountains (there was a moment when I almost completely thought I had ruined it) and that I managed to make the trees in the foreground look somewhat similar to trees instead of just green triangles.

I've also finally felt the inspiration to write again! (Huzzah!) Sadly, I'm not able to write at my old rates yet, though. Somehow, in the springtime, I was normally managing 1000 words a day, whereas right now I'm doing maybe a fifth of that. I suppose I might just be a bit rusty though, as it's my first time in two months or so where I've felt able to write any stories at all. I should also finish a couple unfinished WIPs I have laying on my hard drive sometime.

Also, my school sent out the supply list, which includes the named of the teachers for each class, and apparently the new science teacher who'll be teaching chemistry and biology shares the same last name as my great-grandparents. I wonder if we're related? I hope that said new teacher, as well as the new English teacher, are cool.

Also, I need to read my human geography summer reading book that we've been assigned but honestly, I don't think anyone else in my grade has done any summer reading, and I don't want to think about school yet, especially not the person who's teaching it. (I don't know if I've said this before here, but he will swear up, down, left and right that he won't give us weekend homework and then assigned something on Thursday and makes it due Monday or Friday and makes it due Tuesday because it's apparently not weekend homework if we can work on it during the week.)

Anyways, I want to go write some more instead of griping, even as therapeutic as complaining to my Internet friends may be, so I'll talk to you all later. Bye!

Current Music: The Supremes - Stop! In The Name Of Love

So in my unending pit of nostalgia, the past couple of days I redownloaded some Angry Birds games from the App Store. (Side note, I think it's stupid that they removed the older Angry Birds games like the OG one, Angry Birds Space, etc, from the App Store, but thankfully I downloaded them before they got removed.) But anyways, the OG Angry Birds is pretty fun but I love Angry Birds Space. I never remembered it being this fun when I played it when I was younger! I love that you can skip between the different worlds as you like instead of having to go through them linearly, plus the whole aesthetic is so cool!

Also, I've been considering putting a writing section on my site for some short stories and stuff. I've seen a few other sites on Neocities that do that and it's super cool! However, I'd need to write short stories first, considering that most of my writing, at least the recent stuff that's palatable, is a bit of a longer form. But yeah, you might be looking out for that soon, I guess!

Another thing to be looking out for is my vlogs! (I know, great segue.) Last night, I edited the two episodes that I filmed the other day, and though they're different for what I have planned for the rest of the first "season" of episodes (my first stockpile), they're still pretty interesting in my opinion. I might film another episode or two today, but I'm planning to do quite a bit of filming on the weekdays of this next week. Other than writing, working on this site and creating the vlogs, I've also had some time to read finally! I've been able to make some decent progress on the book I'm currently reading, which has been really great. I also got some more Sarah Dessen books from the library, so I'm going to read those once I'm finished with the book I'm reading atm.

But yeah, that's pretty much it! (Summer this year is obv pretty uneventful so far) I'll talk to you all soon!

So a lot has happened in the past few days.

First of all, I've worked some more on my philosophy final assignment, which I really should be doing now, but I just don't feel like it.

Second of all, my school decided for some unknown reason decided to host a semi-formal at some outdoor pavillion, and I somehow decided to go. Basically the whole thing was three hours of food and people dancing with colour-changing strobe lights. At least there was some ABBA and Backstreet Boys music later on, and an Emma Bunton song around the start of the party. I still don't know why I decided to go, but oh well.

Third of all, I just got my first dose of the COVID vaccine about an hour and a few minutes ago, and so far so good! And I'm also getting McDonald's for lunch :)

Finally, of course I've been working more on my new WIP, though I wish that it wasn't finals season so I could work on it some more. BUt such is life, and finals season and this school year will both be over soon enough. So now I have to actually stop being lazy and work on my damn philosophy final, so I'll talk to you all later. Bye!

So first of all, my site's reached 100k views, so thank you all so much for that! *insert narcissism thinly veiled in humbleness here!* But in all reality, thank you!!

But aside from that, I've been binging a let's play of Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch over the past few days, and it looks like such an amazing game! I just wish I had a Switch or a Playstation to play it. There is technically a PC version, but I have a Mac, and I hate rebooting into Boot Camp Windows and it'd probably run poorly in a VM. :(

Of course, I've also been doing some more work on my WIP, including going back and revising a few scenes I've akready written, and I think it's coming along very nicely!

But yeah, I'm gonna go write now, so ttyl!

Hey everyone, long time no see! Sorry I haven't updated the site in a while, but I've been busy. ⟨/3 But, I'm back! So basically, the 411 on my life since my last post is as follows:

My class had to plan a film festival (we're only showing one film, so does it really count?) for some sort of school activity. Naturally, my group came up with a cool name and logo, which were promptly rejected by another group. Oh well.
I've done quite a bit of writing on a new WIP that is quite possibly my best yet! The only problem is that I'm still about 1500-2000 words from finishing my prior WIP, but I'm already so into my new one that it's kind of hard to get into the "spirit" of my old characters.
I've discovered the wondrous activity that is sitting on the couch and eating neapolitan ice cream out of a mug. Now you can just drink the melted ice cream instead of having to scrape it up with a spoon!
I have a dentist's appointment at 11:00, which is in less than an hour. Hoo boy. At least it'll be over with by lunchtime. I wonder if they'll let me listen to my iPod during my appointment?

Anyways, I need to go sync my iPod, so ttyl!

So I had today off for parent teacher conferences! It went pretty well (except physics, my teacher complained about me not being "engaged" enough), and afterwards, I watched some Gilmore Girls and ate some neapolitan ice cream out of a mug. Honestly, eating ice cream out of a mug is so much better that eating it out of a bowl in my opinion, because you can drink the melted ice cream way easier after you've eaten all the rest!

Of course, I also did some writing on some projects that I've been working on and I've been considering starting some sort of literary journal or something where students from my city can publish short stories. I should see if one exists, though, since I only really know about stuff going on in my school, which is pretty small, and there are two massive high schools in my area.

Hey everyone! Sorry for the radio silence these past few days, but I've been really busy and I haven't had enough free time to really do much outside of school. However, I have tomorrow off of schooL! I've also been doing plenty of writing and I came up with an idea for a story that I think is pretty cool! I've only told it to a few friends though, because I don't really like to publicly talk about what I'm doing until I've finished it. Also, I've been listening to MCND's new comeback recently and it's great! I was going to stan them after Spring, but their comeback after that put me off a bit. But now with ATEEZ and MCND having such great comebacks I might start stanning them soon! Anyways, I'd write more but it's almost dinnertime and I'm really hungry so talk to you later!

Current Music: MCND - Movin'

I want a Subway sandwich so much right now. Also I love Sprite omg. Also, I listened to Oops!... I Did It Again and Britney (the albums) by Britney Spears today, and they're so amazing! Also, Minchan wrote a letter on the fancafe! I hope he gets better soon!

Also, as a sidenote, I hate that you have to type in a specific code in your HTML editor to get accents or some special characters to display on your web page. I just want to have some French on my website but I have to constantly search to see what code corresponds with which character!

Finally, I've been doing some more writing today, and I really think it'd be super cool to make a page on this site with some of my writing! I've also been thinking about extracurriculars recently, despite the fact that my school doesn't really have any this year (for obvious reasons), but still, I hope there's some sort of writing club or something next year!

So I've been doing a ton of writing today! I haven't shared any of my writing yet but I might someday! Anyways I have a super cool idea that I'm pretty excited to write! Also, I recently revamped the site in case you didn't notice, so basically what I did is I made all the text pretty and justified, plus I got rid of the navbar on the top and made it a sidebar, plus some other various changes around the site. But yeah, I think that this new version of the site is super cool and I hope that you all do too!
