It has been a little over one and a half years since my last post. I realize I only have eight followers (Though if I had to take a wild guess, I'd say this number has dropped by 100%. Crazy, right?), but I still feel a bit guilty for so severely neglecting this blog.
Going over my past few blog posts, I realized that there was something I said I'd do and then didn't. That something would be posting my paper about Nessie and a science project. It took me a little while to remember if I even had a paper with a story along those lines, but I do vaguely recall such an essay and will dig it up and post it no matter how horrified I become when I read something I wrote in my freshman...? or sophomore...? year. A promise is a promise, even if it is almost 18 months late.
Which brings me to the mind blowing thought that I am now a senior in high school and will also legally be an adult in seven months. O.O This brings a sense nostalgia for the days when I was in elementary school and was thinking how strange it would be to in 12th grade, in the very distant and foggy future, and what an awesome and cool person I was going to be. *Laughs* Not that I think of myself as uncool, I just think my younger self had a different idea of cool. I think younger me was envisioning tons of friends whereas I now shudder at the thought of being surrounded by too many people all the time. XD
Don't get me wrong, I like people, but I prefer the amount of time I spend doing things by myself to be greater than the amount of time I spend socializing. In other words, I prefer to drown out reality by immersing myself in the fantastic worlds of books rather than immerse myself in numerous social settings which, to my introverted brain, would feel like drowning. I love my handful of friends and family, even enjoy meeting new people, but I like to execute moderation in the amount of time I spend with other humans. Socializing is important, but there is only so much of it that I can handle at one time before I need to relax, read a book, and renew my energy.
A lot has happened in the past year and a half (the most interesting things have been confined to the past six - eight months though), so over the next couple weeks I will begin committing the latest stories of my life to virtual paper. I will dig up that Loch Ness Monster paper too. Stay tuned! :)
