I had a school book once with that analogy. A couple more: The boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t. She walked into a room like a centipede with 98 missing legs.

Oh, dear, I still have 600 words to write.

I just realized I can’t actually flip my hair because I have a bob cut. 😐

Sad. *flips hair* XD

I’m aware that it is real, and I would never go to a seance or something, but this particular magic is made up, and it isn’t like occult magic. I do think that fantasy magic in general is harmless, (though most of the fantasy I read is Christian and/or middle grade so it doesn’t get that dark), though maybe not this one since it…[Read more]

I was up till 2:00 last night. And…1:00 most other nights.

I hung out with my cousins playing mario kart and watching movies all night. It was fun.

Any of you guys have unique family traditions for the new year? :]

@ellette-giselle

Lol that’s cute. I was up till 2:30.

@keilah-h

Who’s turn is it to RP?

@rae

I found it intriguing. Please tag me if you post more. 🙂

@hybridlore

Lucky, you had a party! Only the one brother stayed up with me. Everyone else went to bed. I beat said brother two times at A Little Wordy 😃, and then we spammed each other with weird dancing penguin gifs.

@rae

YOU DREW CALVIN! I LOVE IT!

I’m not sure what time zone you all are but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

@hybridlore

Happy Almost New Year! I’m staying up till midnight, which I normally do anyway, and playing a game with my brother. My family just watched A Christmas Story for the first time, so that was fun! Are you making any New Year’s resolutions this year? I’m working on my list.

@whalekeeper

I was just about to make this topic! I love Kate DiCamillo so much! I just reread The Tale of Despereaux. It’s sooo good! And Mercy Watson! I love Mercy Watson!!!!

@rae Excuse me??Where did all this gorgeous art come from? You’re improving so fast! The style is adorable and the colors are so pretty and soft. Are you using alcohol markers?
