An Announcement

Hello, fellow Hoodians! Today I have a bittersweet announcement. No, I'm not quitting my blogs. Instead, I think, I'm expanding them slightly. I will be leaving this blog and moving to another wordpress site. I didn't really enjoy blogging on this site, and I was really liking how the worpdress platform worked for me on my other blog. So, I present...

Donuts and Daydreams

I hope you're just as excited as I am! You can visit my new site here.

I'm super glad to have started my blogging journey on this site. I've been writing posts here for two years. It was amazing, and I hope to keep growing on my new blog.

What I Got For Christmas

Hello fellow Hoodians! Merry Christmas! I hope your day has been wonderful! Mine definitely has. My family woke up at 7:30 to open gifts, and then we had an amazing breakfast that my dad cooked.  I personally love reading what people get for birthdays or Christmas, so I thought I might show you what I got! :)

 *Please keep in mind that I'm not trying to show off



Starting with my stocking, my mom got my siblings all a pack of wafers, three packs of gum, and four Ferrero Rocheres. I really love wafers and gum, so this was great for me. Though all of my gum will probably be gone in a week because I chew it A LOT. XD



Behold, even more gum! My little brother bought me three packs of gum, so this is seriously the best thing he's ever gotten me. I am thriving off a gum. XD



Apologies for the horrible editing. My lighting was being mean, as well as the computer. -_- Anyways, my amazing grandma got me a load of candy as well as a gift card (though I'm not really certain how much is on the gift card). I'm super thankful for that. :)




Now, onto the things that aren't edible. XD I got Zig Millennium pens. These pens have a super fine tip which is great for my artwork, so I'm super exited to put these to use. :D




Next,  I got a new journal! I'm really happy about this because I've almost filled up my current journal. Plus, it's super aesthetic with the pretty tree and ajhsafl. When I started unwrapping it, it said "Flammable. To keep from catching fire, see guide." I was so confused at what it was at what it was by that point. XD OH OH OH, I forgot about this, but when I run out of paper, I can remove the cover and slip in a new notebook. How awesome is that?



IT'S SO PRETTY AND I CAN'T EVEN. ahem. In case you aren't sure, this is a stylus that I can use to draw digital art with. I'm super excited, because my older brother has a different model of the same pen, and I used to borrow his all the time. But now I have my own! I'm so excited to create new drawings with it! :D



Finally, I got a super fuzzy and silky and soft blanket with POM POMS ON THE ENDS!!! Like, how much more amazing could this blanket be (?).

My grandma also gave my family a chair hammock thingie for Christmas, which is super awesome, because we don't have anything really comfortable to sit on in our porch at the moment. The sad thing is that my dad won't be able to put it up for a while. :/

I'm really thankful for everything I got this year, and I'm super happy to be able to experience the joy of Christmas.

I hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas day! I would love to hear about what you got.

P.S. I have a HUGE surprise coming up at the end of the month, so keep your eyes peeled. ;)

A Bit of Randomness

Hello, there! I haven't posted for a while, but that's because I've because I've been having an imagination drought. Because of that, I will just post a few random things today. Enjoy!

Music:

Here are some songs I've been listening to a lot lately:

Shots (Broiler Remix)-Imagine Dragons

Runner Runner-The Merrell Twins

First Light-Lindsey Stirling

Drama-Jasmine Thompson 

EVOlution (album)-Sabrina Carpenter 

Inside a Dream (EP)-Echosmith

Sky Full of Stars-Coldplay

Adventure of a Lifetime-Coldplay

Miracles-Coldplay

 

Updates:

NaNoWriMo is approaching, and I am just panicking a little bit. You know, the kind of panicking that includes screaming internally and hyperventilating.

I started reading 'The Maze Runner' last night, and I am at that point where a new fandom is blooming. XD It's super good!

Halloween is getting closer! I am super excited because I'm being Thing 1, my friend is being Thing 2, and my sister is being the Cat in the Hat! Also, I am going to use all my candy as rewards during NaNo. XD

Blog Stuff:

Nicole's new blog, Wild Pennings, launched! You have to go check it out. I watched her spend hours making the header from scratch. 

I also might be moving blogs in November, but we'll see. ;)

I hope y'all enjoyed this little post! Goodbye for now, fellow Hoodians!

A Fall-ish Rant

Bonjour, my dear Hoodians! As you can see, I have returned from a bit of a hiatus, and now I am back. Yay! Anyways, I am back with as short post on my favorite things about fall and a few ranty things. Onward!



I LOVE SWEATERS!!! I wear them all year long, even if it's, like, 100 degrees outside. Honestly though, they're so cozy and cute. I only have one that I wear a LOT, but if I had money, I would spend it all on fluffy sweaters. XD



Leaves are so pretty! Especially in autumn. I don't like jumping in leaf piles because that's like cannon-balling onto the floor XD . The only awful thing is where I live there are no trees that shed pretty leaves, so I am left to look at the evergreen in our front yard. *glares at oak tree* XD




YAY! CANDY! COSTUMES! JACK 'O LANTERNS! DEATH! Jk XD ahem.
I'm super excited for this year because my sister is going to be the Cat in the Hat, I'm going to be Thing 1, and my friend is going to be Thing 2. We're going to find crazy blue wigs! XD




I don't get to drink this often, but when I do, I enjoy it thoroughly. I usually get it at my grandma's, which is awesome because it's usually super cold outside.



Let us all admit, Autumn has the loveliest combinations of colors. It has the perfect combination of warm toned colors that are just so pleasing to the eyes.

That wraps that little post up! Sorry I haven't been posting very much lately. i've been working on a secret project. ;)

Have a wonderful day!

BIBPC (entry three)

Hey guys! I'm back with another BIBPC photo. Don't worry, other posts are coming, but for now there is only photography. :)

Here's my next entry:



I didn't edit it except for cropping :D . I feel so proud of it XD
There is little story but here ya go ;D :

Le Story:

I found a picture on Pinterest, and I copied it a little bit for this (credit to photographer who's photo inspired me). Anyways, I cut out some butterflies from paper and placed them like so. Then, I propped my book up, stood on a stool, and shot a few pics. Thus, I give you this aesthetically pleasing photo. ;)
I hope you like it, Megan! :D

BIBPC (entry two)

Heewo friends!!! Ima back with the mood of *drumroll* pink! Jk, but I'm feeling pretty cheerful right now ;D . Anyways, here's my next entry!



Le Story:

I had this awesome idea to put a slinky on the camera and place the end of the slinky on a drawing or something, and since the moon and the sun are circles (and the eclipse is happening almost RIGHT NOW), I though, "Ay. Draw the two combined. Why not?" So, I give you this somewhat strange picture. The slinky didn't have the effect I was quite hoping for, but I still LOVE the results, so oh well.

I hope y'all liked my picture! Adios, mi amigas!
