Welcome to the blog!
I started this blog back in 2010. I was a homeschooled middle schooler back then, and now I'm a junior at the University of Iowa. I'm passionate about reading books and writing poetry, two things I study at my college!
This blog is a formless thing. Back in 2010, I'd write wildly-entertaining paragraph-long posts on squirrels and bowls of sugar. I'm still obsessed with sugar and can be amused by squirrels, but these days, the blog is a hodgepodge of a different kind. Over the years, I've tried at different points to enforce some discipline or topic on the blog, but the blog resisted and eventually won. I've accepted that I will write whatever I want, whenever I want to. You should also accept this, or you will be very surprised.
I can only promise this: I write from my heart, wherever my heart is. Recently, that's been abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland for a semester!
Ah, your blog looks lovely! It sounds like we have quite a bit in common! (Chocolate, penguins, and books? Yes please!) I look forward to checking out your blog more in the future :D

ReplyDeleteOkay so APPARENTLY I deleted a comment I left here on February 26... *shrug* well I don't remember what I said but *waves* Hey there! I'm Jonathan and unfortunately, I'm not a penguin. (However I am a ninja so there's that)
DeleteLol!! Hi! Lovely to meet you. Ninjas are cool.
DeleteOnce a homeschooler, always a homeschooler. I know I married one 22 years ago, lol. I found you from the Young Writers booth at MPE and wrote on a one word prompt. http://homeskoolmom.com/2016/04/25/breathe/

Awww, thank you!! :) <3
DeleteWhoa, you live in Kansas? I don't live far from there. I'm gonna follow your blog because:
ReplyDelete1) I was homeschooled.
2) I'm obsessed with stars, writing and reading, coffee and chocolate.
3) I love acting and singing, although I don't do the former much anymore.
So, yeah, you sound super cool. *Gives two thumbs up*

Oh, hooray! New people! A fellow star-acting-singing-homeschooled-chocolate person! <3 Great to have you around. :)

ReplyDeleteWOW I MISSED THIS COMMENT. BUT HEHEH HI FRIEND! Omg I want a pet chinchilla <3
DeleteI literally just found you, like, three minutes ago. Anyway, I am a chocolate-loving penguin from Kansas!!! (Though now I hail from Ioway...sniff sniff) I'm technically homeschooled (Although I'm sort-of not but still pretend that I am), I love reading and writing, I sing way to often for a person who has a horrible voice, I love stars (future astronomer right here) I'm slightly addicted to frappes, and I already made, like, three typos typing this, and I love my Savior!!!
