2 truths and a lie

- I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinking.
- I've been going to Arizona every year for the past six years.
- My covid-19 splurge was all of the Sims 4 expansions and packs that were available at the time.

The answer will be revealed at some point in the future.

It's 11:11, make a wish

Photo by Anna Nekrashevich on Pexels
I accidentally stumbled onto one of my old posts that I made ten years ago. Looking through it, it got me thinking that I still kind of believe in those simple, silly beliefs even till today. Except, it's changed a bit because of location;  with how I'm at work and not school; and the people whom I surround myself with. Anyway, let's see how it's different now.

Legend says, when you can’t sleep at night, it’s because you’re awake in someone else’s dream.
(found on tumblr)
I can't sleep at night because of various thoughts and activities and probably also not trying hard enough to have a better (but still flexible) bedtime routine. Also, wouldn't it be selfish of me if I thought that I was awake in someone else's dream? Though, it would be flattering indeed. Even though I'm most likely just a background character.

Whenever the necklace clasp is in the front, it means that someone is thinking about you.
(Heard from a friend; and if I recall correctly, if the clasp is on the left a family member is thinking about you or if it ends up on the right side, your crush is thinking about you)
I hope my significant other is always thinking about me. After all, I'm always thinking about them 🎵In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams.🎵 (And in almost every single thought.) It would also make sense why my necklace clasp keeps on moving no matter how often I adjust it.

It’s 11:11, make a wish.
11:11, instead of wishing for happiness I wish for safety now. For everyone around me, and for myself. After going through so much trauma and such, I just want people to be safe. Peace and happiness will follow suit once that hierarchical need is met.

Spin the stem of a fruit while saying the alphabet at the same time. And when the stem comes off at a random letter, it means that you’re going to marry a person whose first or last name starts with whatever letter you’ve stopped at.
 (A silly thing my friend made up in eighth grade)
At this point in time, I always try to get the stem off on either one of the letters in my beloved's initials. It doesn't work though.  xD It's probably a good thing too considering that I don't really want to get married. (Who knows if my mind will change.) 

Now let's see if those beliefs will stay with me for another ten years.

And now the weather:

18 random little facts about me

  1. I used to be in love with the idea of being in love (might still be actually).
  2. My favorite number is the number eighteen (hence why there’s eighteen facts).
  3. My favorite letter is the letter S.
  4. I live in a bright blue house by a school somewhere in the United States.
  5. I had my hair cut recently; it’s now chin length and practical.
  6. I like wearing dresses and (high) heels.
  7. I like baking; however, I usually don’t have the ingredients or some of the proper baking supplies.
  8. I've had my learner’s permit for approximately two months now.
  9. I am afraid of dark bathrooms (Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary).
  10. I haven’t had a serious crush since the sixth grade.
  11. I now call myself a proud (and maybe slightly obsessive) Whovian.
  12. I’m like a bear; I take a break from my writing during the winter months.
  13. I’m used to long periods of silence (better that way, since I don’t really listen to the music).
  14. I dread the idea of hanging out with my older sister’s boyfriend again (reason: the third wheel).
  15. I often times see myself as plain.
  16. I’m bad at comforting people.
  17. I’m not afraid of the Weeping Angels, after seeing some gifs of them dancing on tumblr, I realized that they aren't that scary after all. However, if I saw them in real life, I would be terrified.
  18. I’m a bit bad with communicating with people on any form (especially if it’s one on one).

Simple, silly beliefs that I can't help but believe in.

Legend says, when you can’t sleep at night, it’s because you’re awake in someone else’s dream.
(found on tumblr)
A few weeks ago there was a restlessness that would plague me during the nights when I’m trying to reach the place of a truly deep unconsciousness.
However, instead of reaching that point in my sleep cycle, my subconscious mind would start thinking about who’s dreaming about me.
I know that it’s silly and pretty unrealistic, but I can’t help but think those thoughts.
Would it be my siblings, a guy, my friends?

Whenever the necklace clasp is in the front, it means that someone is thinking about you.
(Heard from a friend; and if I recall correctly, if the clasp is on the left a family member is thinking about you or if it ends up on the right side, your crush is thinking about you)
Depending on the day, I would sometimes wear a necklace.
And whenever the clasp would turn to the left without my doing, I wonder if my older sister or any of my other siblings or any of my family members in general is thinking about me.
However, whenever it turns to the right, I wonder if it’s a guy is thinking about me, which I find highly unlikely.

It’s 11:11, make a wish.
More often than not, I wish for happiness.
Even if I’m already happy, I still wish for it.
By now, it’s become a habit, because nothing else really interests me much.
And when I do wish for something else, I try to stop my tongue from spitting out its habitual answer whenever it’s 11:11.
However, I often lose the battle.
And plus, having too much happiness isn’t that bad.
Is it?

Spin the stem of a fruit while saying the alphabet at the same time. And when the stem comes off at a random letter, it means that you’re going to marry a person whose first or last name starts with whatever letter you’ve stopped at.
 (A silly thing my friend made up in eighth grade)
An example: I spin the stem while saying the alphabet, and when I say C the stem comes off.
That means that I might marry a guy named Connor or Kyle Casey.
It was funny, the names my friends and I would come up with for a certain letter.
More often than not, we didn’t know anyone who had a name starting with that letter.
And it was mainly eww, if we did know someone whose name did start with that letter.
Especially if said person was going to the same school as us and was in the same room with us at that moment.

So what are some silly things that you find yourself believing in? Is it making a wish at 11:11, making a wish then attempting to blow out the dandelion on the first try, or something else entirely? And why?

It's easier to do things when you're more awake.

Sorry, if some of you guys received another set of all my posts in the past few hours. I accidentally imported the whole blog onto this one. Which isn't a good idea if you’re up late doing who knows what. But, it may be a good thing.
Also, I kind of plan on getting back into blogging (hopefully at least once a week, though I doubt I can keep that up again). And I have a few posts coming up, one is the news concerning blogger, which you guys may have already heard about; another is an ‘interview’ with another blogger, which is more me asking questions and such; and another post is going to be about Lifescouts and the stories behind the badges which I have received so far. There are other posts, hanging about in my drafts folder, which may or may not be revealed to you guys. But eventually they will, one day.
And thank you, for deciding to read my blog, for following my blog, and/or for even viewing my blog. You guys have stuck around with me, waiting patiently for me to do something with my blog, and I appreciate that. You guys inspire me to continue on blogging, and again I appreciate that. So, thank you.
Have a nice day or night, and also stay safe, please?

Elephants marching down the street and my older sister.

                My days are like a void, filled with nothing but darkness…
                Well it’s not exactly like that, my days are normal for the most part. Get up in the morning, get ready, eat, read, write, go on the internet, etc. However, I’ve been doing that for the past few days and it’s boring. I want something exciting happening, right then and now, like elephants marching down the street because they’re angry that the grocery stores in my town won’t give them peanuts. However, the neighbors might not like it because the elephants just disrupted their relaxation time/sleep, which they need because they have to go to the stressful place called work tomorrow.
                I also want Thursday to come already because I’m going to the amusement park with my older sister. This will be nice because it will simply be the two of us and hopefully no one else. Though that would interfere with Camp Nanowrimo quite a bit, but it will be worth it in my opinion. Simply, because I haven’t really spent some time alone with my older sister that doesn’t involve my twin getting in the way.
                And my older sister’s birthday is exactly one week from now…
                I should be making her birthday gift by now instead of procrastinating on it. And I have a great idea about what to get her. The gift for her is free because if I buy her something chances are she will already has it or she will never read it or wear it. Plus, she has too much stuff already. If you’re curious as to know what it is, I’ll give you a hint. It involves a balloon and the number twenty-four.
                In fact, I think I’ll work on it now. That is after; I show you a song that I can’t stop listening to lately.


Have a nice day/night. And I’ll post something better tomorrow.

Love,

Pottermore



So after some time procrastinating on my schoolwork and scrolling through my facebook account, I have decided to join Pottermore. Despite the fact that I only watched the first four movies and still have yet to read the books. However, I still know quite a bit about what happens in the end (thanks to Tumblr, my brother, and my friends). So it doesn’t really matter if you spoil something for me, I’ll find out anyways.
However, I like how Pottermore asks you what movies/books you’ve seen so they’ll try and not spoil it for you. This is nice for the people that hasn’t read the books but watched the movies and vice versa. So far I’m quite liking the site though it took me forever to get in (my password was too long so they cut it off without me noticing). I’m still in chapter one and it’s taking me a while to read through everything (characters/objects/places). I like to make sure that I know what’s happening in every part of the story despite still not having read it (I technically did read a little part of the first book a long time ago but I found it boring and stopped reading, though someday [this summer hopefully] I shall read the first book).
            By the way, if anyone wants to become friends with me, I’m SilverGlow16128. I’ll happily accept any friend requests since I’m not one to judge. And now I shall try to find the first Harry Potter book which hopefully is still around my house. Have an amazing day and good luck on your wizard/witch training.

Love,

Something my friend told me a while ago

It's mean but it's true if you think about it. However, it doesn't mean you stop wishing on stars. They're there for a reason and that is to give off light and hope for people who look at them. Without stars we'll all be lost, confused, scared, and alone. And who wants that?


Love,

A one in the morning kind of post

Homework, windmill design, aerospace cones (or in my team’s case arrows), the book Night by Elie Wiesel, laziness, spending time with my family, and dresses. All in the day of little Stacy N. Well it was technically more of the past two days, Thursday and Friday. However, I’m here now posting, aren’t I? Even if it is around one in the morning, but by metropolitan/city standards that’s kind of early or kind of really late. It just depends on how you look at it.

Now it’s time for me to flop around a bit tired but full of lightness that comes with being a bit hyper. As well, as listen to my older sister practice her Spanish, and type, which makes me, start to listen to my own typing. I think eating chips and nuts at night while watching a movie, shouldn’t be done again... maybe. I can’t say that it’s that much of a serious mistake to do, considering that all it’s made me do is either sleep or like this night make me a bit hyper.

Well enough of my rambling, because I think I may have gotten a new follower. Hello new follower that isn’t a flower; welcome to Sweets Galore, where I talk about whatever is on my mind. Which tonight maybe just random stuff, like being hyper that’s quickly turning into being tired right at the moment.

Another thing is, the movie I saw tonight was High School Musical 3, where I mostly made comments such as that’s cute, or how did he get a basketball? (During the graduation scene, when Chad somehow got a basketball.) However, I mostly watched and started to realize something. I’m literally near the area of where they filmed High School Musical 3. And I didn’t mean just the state, I meant the actual East High School, school. Also if you are wondering yes, East High School is actually called East High School, plus on the west side there’s a high school called West High School.


   [source]
Well that was slightly random, but now you know that I live in the state where High School Musical (1, 2, and 3) was filmed. That, plus my state has the saltiest lake in the United States. And to make it even more random, I have never been to the Great Salt Lake in my entire life, despite living about half an hour to an hour away from it. Random fact, the Salt Lake only has brine shrimp in the waters considering that it’s the only organism that can actually live with that high of a salt content.

Now, that was... interesting, if not very random. Also, since I’m tired now, I’m just going to start posting pictures, as usual. Since apparently tumblr as well as weheartit got blocked because of the internet server, I have to settle on pintrest.com. Which I have heard is like tumblr only you pin stuff instead of reblogging, but I’m not going to get one [yet]. Tumblr seems a bit more addicting in my opinion.

Oh yeah, did you also know that part of the Great Salt Lake is green (or is it red?) for some reason that I can’t remember.

Umm...


I don't have much to say today, other than that I'm cold. Even though the weather is kind of spring-ish. Now, I'm going to stop talking about the weather. So, here's a picture of my character Beth, drawn by   cloudysky from nano (the main site). I'm not sure if she's still keeps up her charrie shop, but if she is, go here. Remember, you must have an account on nanowrimo in order to go on the forums. 
Au revoir.
P.S I'm changing my name back to Stacy N. Easier that way, and less confusion.

And I'm supposed to be working on the first draft of my English essay which is due tomorrow. -_-
So far I kept on wasting time, write a little bit, waste some more time, write a little bit, and repeat.
And it's been over five hours since I've been doing it and I've only reached the third paragraph.
This is good, because it means I have two more to finish before I retire for the night.
So ta ta and please tell me to stop procrastinating or not.

Morceau

A french word meaning piece. Like a piece of pie. It's also an English word.

morceau \mawr-SOH\, noun:
1. Piece; morsel.
2. An excerpt or passage of poetry or music.
(source dictionary.com it's also the word of the day) 

mor·ceau   
mor·ceau [mawr sṓ] n.
1.  short composition: a short musical or literary composition  
2.  small piece: a tiny piece, e.g. a small mouthful of food  
Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2005 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
(According to the dictionary on my computer) 

Examples would be: Feed the dog with a morceau of pie or prepare to hear the begging noises all night long. 
Or Not unless you are able to provide me with a little morceau of help.
-- Amitav Ghosh, Sea of Poppies
(First example I just made up second example would come from here.)

So by now you must be wondering why I taught you a new word. And it's because I want you to expand your vocabulary. And maybe get a kick out of it because if you say it enough it starts to sound like the two words more soul. Just like I am right now... kind of. Also quick question does A Sea of *Morceaux sound better or does A Sea of [random?] Pieces, or A Sea of [random?] Words?
A poll will be over there on the side of my blog if you are willing to answer.
And if you are wondering why I am asking that is simply because I decided to make my random collection of poetry and short stories/flash fiction/excerpts into a book from createspace (because I won nanowrimo.) So in order to do that, I need a title, then once I have the title I can make the cover and all that other stuff. 
So please help me with finding a good title. 
*Morceaux is the plural form of morceau.

Le cafe.


Such as writing a book under a week, or something of the sorts. And if you were wondering, no I'm still not finished with my novel. And no, I'm not willing to drink a lot of coffee to do it. Because one, there's school the next day, and two I don't think my dad would like it if I drank all of his coffee. Though it is tempting.

Finish?

It's been sixteen months. Sixteen months since I started writing on my novel Immortality Doesn't Exist. And I'm still at the ending. -_-
I should really finish it and stop procrastinating. I've been procrastinating on it a lot. And the ending isn't that hard to finish... not unless it was this book. Or if you were me. A person that seems to want to draw it out and not want the book to end yet. Which was a bit odd considering that I'm going to write two more books and make it into a trilogy.
So ta-ta
I'm going to try to finish it today or tomorrow.
But that probably means procrastinating on the rewrite process. Oh well at least I can say I wrote a novel from finish to end.
