Three posts, one day?!?
I think blogging has become my excuse not to write. Like, write in novels and stuff. Which I really need to start doing. But blogging is so much more FUN. Actually, that’s a lie. It’s equally fun, but more immediately gratifying. Anyways. That’s not the point of this post. What is the point of this post? I actually don’t remember… Continue reading “Three posts, one day?!?”
[Bri 2.0 BONUS] On being alone
Last night, after hanging out at a friend’s house with a couple people playing ping pong and watching Food Network, I took my favorite Anakin Skywalker towel up to our second floor porch and lay on my back. It was a lightly stormy night, with enough clouds to facilitate the sporadic strikes of lighting but to also still see the stars. I found the Big Dipper and Casseopia, my favorite constellation by far. It was 83 degrees, if the sign on my way home was anything to go by, but the wind made it feel much cooler.

So again, I don’t want to hear it.* And just so we are clear, as well as having recharging capabilities, my planet also has the ability to air up sports equipment.

[Bri 2.0 BONUS] Cleaning up
If you hadn’t noticed, the site slogan changed for the first time in nearly four years. “Because life’s more fun under critical analysis.” Alternations I can up with: “Because life’s more fun as a cynic” and “Because life’s more fun when you’re sarcastic”.

[Day 313] Marooned Week 5: Keep me warm
People deal with things in different ways. When I’m upset, I either bury myself in Youtube or write. Lately, my mom has been dealing with current events by quilting, something she gave up a long time ago because she was too busy focusing on everyone else.
