I got gifts I wanted, but I had the most fun just being with the fam <3 Lots of smiles and laughter and fun timesš©·
Thatās so sweet! Family is definitely the best part of the holidays. Sounds like you had a lot of fun š
(I also had a long text conversation with a friendā¦gaps in between and all, but he and I texted for, like, 4 hoursš)
Oooo š¤ Just a friend? Or is this someone you like? Either way, itās great to know you have an irl friend to bounce off of now and then.
How was your Christmas?š©·š©·
It was great! I typically end up being the kid no one knows what to get š It was another book year, lol, but I genuinely donāt mind because my parents try to put in a lot of thought. Oh, my sister got a HEDGEHOG. Which is absolutely amazing because she loves cute animals and really needs to āfind her own,ā as I and my parents say.
I also did a lot of the meal preparations, cookies, etc. for my mum, whatever she lets me do. Then we went to our grandparentsā, and they live only a neighborhood away. My relationship with my grandparents is kind of weird, so it was a tad awkward, at least for meā¦ but then we came back home and watched a few movies ā¤ļø

Wellll, great question, actually, bc that’s most of what we talked aboutš I have liked him for about a year or so, and he apparently kinda figured it out. We chatted about what dating means to us (Bc he first asked me if I had a boyfriend and when I said no, he asked if I wanted one…like, bruh XD) personally, I talked about what I was looking for in a guy, and I ended up admitting that I have liked him for a while, and he told me that he doesn’t like me that way, lolš (after I reassured him that him being honest about how he didn’t like me that way wouldn’t ruin our friendship bc he was worried about that <3)
But he was honest in that he said he wants us to remain friends, and I’m completely fine with thatš©·He’s a great friend, and we talk about all kinds of things and we’ve told each other that we can reach out to the other anytime we need anything. š (and yesterday he checked on my mom, who had to go to the hospital (she’s ok now; recovering, and we’re still trying to figure out what’s wrong, but she’s ok) and that was so sweet of him)

Haha, that was me with my Grandparents on my Mom’s side š
Hey, books are great tho! XD Aww, a hedgehog? that’s so sweet!! š©·š©·
Movies sound fun; I’m so glad y’all had a great time!ā¤ļø

*Hangs onto your every word* Thatās so cool, heās so emotionally mature š You guys handled it well and it sounds like you have a healthy friendship.
I know this guy I enjoy messing around with at school, talking about the psychological patterns of literally everything together. And although I would be more than willing to intensify the friendship if he wanted to, ehā¦ he already has a girl who frankly compliments him in every way š I basically denied myself any hope from the start. I am know for never, ever falling for anyone.
*Lets out a frustrated puff of air* Which makes it all the more harder for me because he is the most popular gentleman around and is always around. It also doesnāt help that he is so flirty.
(and yesterday he checked on my mom, who had to go to the hospital (sheās ok now; recovering, and weāre still trying to figure out whatās wrong, but sheās ok) and that was so sweet of him)
Iām sorry about your mom!! What happened?

Oof I hate that! When I had my wisdom teeth removed my whole face was numb, and then I could barely open my mouth because apparently they cut through the muscles. It took like two weeks of slowly forcing my jaw further open before it was back to normal, but fortunately I didn’t have to do physical therapy. Not fun!

December 27, 2023 at 9:44 pm #171336idk….two teeth on the bottom in the back. (not wisdom teeth)
I have teeth that are baby teeth, but there aren’t any adult teeth to replace them, so I was just gonna have baby teeth forever. But the dentist thought they were just gonna break apart someday so he pulled them….

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333December 28, 2023 at 7:52 am #171352Huh, that’s interesting. I guess it gives your other teeth a little more space, though. I had to have a couple teeth pulled when I was little because my mouth was so crowded, but then the adult teeth still came through so it didn’t really solve the problem, lol. I guess it just made it easier for them to give me braces.

December 28, 2023 at 10:08 am #171372Yeah….but the problem is that i’ll have to have implants when I turn eighteen because those teeth will never grow back…so there will be holes in my mouth for eternity. Fun times!

December 28, 2023 at 1:14 pm #171396Lol I thought you didn’t see my post but it turns out I didn’t get a notif because I’m now mimeralizedwritingsš
Hi!! (Sorry about seeing this only now, the KP ghost regularly eats my notifs)
Totally ok!
Doing okay, especially since itās Christmas. I got some drawing books and a really beautiful art book by a guy named Omar Rayyan. Ate cookies, stole cookies. Feeling some dread about the second semester, especially because Iām years behind in math, but one can only soldier on.
Ack math. Ugh. Wait, you stole cookies? š
That sounds really nice!
I’ve got a little bit of dread about my next quarter too lol.
How about you? Any interesting holiday stories?
I’m doing alright, everything was kinda better this Christmas for some reason, idk why. Family time went alright, and we all went shopping together. My dad made a mud pie, which I’m technically too young to eat because it has liqueur in it š but it’s just there for flavor, it’s not a lot.
I’ve been drawing a bit… not nearly as much as I should be though. I’m reading the Lunar chronicles rn, are you familiar with them? Book 1 and 3 are good so far, book 2 was kinda gross lol.
I don’t have any particularly funny stories that happened, unfortunately. Do you?

December 28, 2023 at 2:28 pm #171402Ack! Sorry Iām late, but I finally found time to read this. Mākayā¦
So the one big thing that I noticed was a lot of telling and info-dumping. I could handle the information, but itās not always enjoyable to read a bunch of backstory. Stuff like that should be sprinkled throughout. Besides that, there were a few places where things could be shown, or already were shown, but then there was a sentence of telling. Like this:
āI could drive us,ā Jason said.
āNot legally,ā Jane remarked. He and Jane were only fourteen.
These two pieces of dialogue show us that theyāre under sixteen, even though we donāt know their exact age. I was guessing they were teenagers anyway by the way they acted, so I feel like that last sentence isnāt necessary.
The last two paragraphs of this scene also have a lot of info-dumping. It would be a lot smoother and intriguing if you slowly infused that information into the story by showing it in how these characters act or what they say.
I really liked it though!! I think the telling/info-dumping was really the only thing I caught. I love the siblingsā relationships. Sibling relationships are some of my favorite character dynamics. š I already love the charries so be sure to tag me if you post more! Keep up the good work!! <3
