I have emerged!
Yes, I know my blogging has been not-really-there for… kind of awhile. But honestly, if that really bothers you, you probably need some hobbies. (But if you do have hobbies but still do like reading my blog when I feel … Continue reading
How to protect yourself from monsters.
So the other night, I was climbing into bed, and I let one foot hang over the edge for just a minute long enough for it to be grabbed by evil, taloned hands. I realized this, and then I also … Continue reading
Guilty pleasures
I was planning to just take a blogging hiatus while working on my NaNoWriMo, but I’ve finished all my words today and I’m not sleepy yet, so I’ve wound up here. Because I have to go to school tomorrow and … Continue reading

Eight-year-olds are smart.
In the past few months, I’ve been discovering something about myself that the eight-year-old Hornet could tell me in an instant. With a confused look in her eyes as to why I’m asking her this question. While wearing her Captain … Continue reading
The thing about the 4th of July
Okay, so it’s the seventh right now. But this idea has been squirming around in my brain as I’ve been reading up on other Fourth of July posts and themes that have been put out in the last few days, … Continue reading
Self-absorbed and self-aware. Dancing is rarely hurtful.
I’m going to save you all from those hours of lying on the floor under the fan hating everything and hopefully brighten up your summer a bit. While I love summer more than anything ever except possibly Halloween, there is … Continue reading
