Sorry about that! I guess I just fell off the face of the planet.
But I wasn't floating around in space, I was actually being a productive individual. Yay me! I could have sat around all day and slept in until noon and woken up when I felt like it or when I had to go to work. But NO! I thought to myself... Self, you need to get up and do something! So I did!
Now... I may have been productive, but that does not mean what I did was necessarily a productive activity or benefited my health... so... just thought I would have a disclaimer in here.
1. I started drawing again and they are adorable, if I do say so myself. I would put some of them up here, but I have yet to take pictures of my pictures, so maybe a little later.
2. I read a couple of books. Because of school, I am always unable to read the books I want, so I love summer for the one reason that I get to catch up on all the books that I wanted to read. I read The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks at the beginning of the summer. It was cute and I liked it. I recently read Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay, which is about this American journalist in Paris who has to write about the roundup of Jews in Paris by French policemen, and along the way learns about a girl named Sarah and her story during the roundup. It was a great book and there were points where I would close it and stare at it and think about life.
Sidenote: I think it is kind of funny when books make me gasp or make me sigh out loud, or I will mentally yell at the characters, or sometimes I will do it verbally, or I will shut the book, because I am afraid for what is about to happen next. I mean, I know that the book is not real, but for that moment that I am reading it is real and those moments of awkwardness, excitement, or sadness really get to me.
3. I went camping with my family and I had a lot of fun, like always. We played in the river and had a water war with water guns, in which my policy was that I will not fire unless you provoke me. Many people felt my revenge.
While there I read Déjà Dead by Kathy Reichs. This is the first book in the series that inspired the show Bones. It was really good and I really liked it. There was a lot of scientific lingo, but thankfully I had taken an anatomy class, so I knew some of the things that were mentioned. The one thing I did not like was that because the setting is based in Montreal, the characters are constantly talking in French. I mean the book is in English, but there would be points where the characters would be talking or they would see a sign and they would read it in French. I don't know French! The author was pretty good about translating it afterward, but only for the single words, not the phrases. So I sort of had to guess at what the phrase meant, but overall it didn't take away from the book.
I got rid of my farmer's tan, of which I am extremely glad. Now my upper arms are the same color as my lower arms and my thighs actually have color. Yay!
4. Netflix! They updated the shows, and Merlin was updated! I am so happy! It's the last season, and I heard that it is sad, but I don't care, I need to finish it. I have also been watching Supernatural and I really like that show too. Plus, I somehow convinced my whole family to watch Sherlock with me and this was their reaction.
With me, of course, being Edna Mode.
So you see, I was productive in good ways and bad.
