A Sporadic Update.

First off, I just realized that I now have ninety followers! That's incredible to me, especially for a blog like mine, that is a bit off kilter and doesn't even have an 'about me' page.

Thank you! I appreciate all of you so much. It's nice knowing that someone is listening to my rambles. Or just that somebody out there cares.

So that was a nice surprise.

I've been in a really strange mood lately. I think it's what I would label as my artistic mood. I like to lock myself away and lose myself in my drawings, writing, books, and music. Everything seems poetic to me, when I'm in this state. The fog outside, morning coffee, all the things that most people don't even give a second glance. I could be like this all the time, and this is just my first time noticing it. I don't know.

I started off this year right, I binged watched 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' season three with my siblings and cried my eyes out at The End as expected. It's an incredible show on all levels, acting, story, sets, and just general aesthetic. I highly recommend it. This trailer sums it up if your curious. I will be covering all my thoughts on it in another post.

It's taken over my life at this point and all I've been doing is fan art for it. Which has paid off, because a few of the actors actually liked and commented on it. (I died in case you were wondering)

If anyone wants to see it my Instagram account is here

One of my unofficial resolutions this year, is for Neil Patrick Harris to see it. He plays Count Olaf who is without a doubt my favorite character. (I would probably pass out if he did.)

Anyway...

I've been getting a lot of stuff done lately. Resolution type stuff, even though I didn't really make any resolutions. First was my diet, I have like a million allergies. For Christmas I ignored them all, and I paid for it. So January 1st my sister and I started a sugar, dairy, wheat, and red meat free diet. It's been fairly successful, I've lost seven pounds already.

I've also lost my dignity, happiness, and my sisters support. She quit after nine days, but in her defense it is really hard.

To thank me for my clean living, my skin has continually broken out worse than ever before, which my mom takes to mean that I'm detoxing. It's great!

I also got a haircut, which I haven't had one in like five years or something. It feels so short to me, but in reality it's still  pretty long.( I'd post a picture, but the aforementioned skin issue.) My hairdresser is a magician.
 I loved what she did, she got rid of all the dead ends and gave me side bangs. I can now wear ponytails and such, without looking like Will Turner. Which is more than I could ever ask for.

I needed to do this, I started hiding behind my hair and over sized glasses, both are going to go. It's time for some positive change.

On the book front.

I've been reading and loving A Certain Sort of Madness by Nicki Chapelway

I also finished beta reading Christine's Burning Thorns.

I love her story so much! Christine's writing always makes me emotional. The characters are stellar, the setting is gorgeous, and the themes are so powerful. Between Lark's sass and Rose's bravery you can't go wrong. It will forever be one of my favorite Beauty & the Beast retellings. It's so good!


Oh, my parents took me to see Mortal Engines. I had no expectations and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. It was a unique premise. Some of it did feel a bit crammed, but all in all I really enjoyed it. I was happy to see Robert Sheeran in it.

Loved him in the Mortal Instruments, which oddly enough is a fairly close title, also the villains in both movies were named Valentine. Weird. There was no less than three direct Lord of the Rings quotes, which made me laugh. I really want to read the book now.

That's basically what I've been doing this month. Filling the creative tank back up. Allowing myself to relax a bit.

What have you guys been up to?
