Shannon Tries to Adult Good: Progress? and Learning?

In my last "adult good" post, I mentioned what I thought a grown up was and how I could kind of get on that way to becoming a grown up... and while I haven't necessarily done any of the grown up things on the list... some of the "things grown ups shouldn't do" I have kind of stopped doing, or at least doing less of... or improving to make it more of a grown up thing to do. 

Here is my first post if you want to read it... its pretty funny. 

One thing I put on the list is to take advice from people other than Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Mindy Kaling or something along those lines... Thats stupid advice. How can I grow up good when I want to be like those ladies when I grow up? I mean I know Liz Lemon and Leslie Knope are fictional characters. That isn't who Tina or Amy are in real life... but I can still totally use their life advice. I've been reading Yes Please by Amy Poehler and I actually started keeping a little journal with some things in my life that relate to the things Amy talks about in her book. One thing I feel like isn't too personal is in her chapter "Humping Justin Timberlake" she mentions some memories of SNL and all the fun she has and what she misses about it. I compare that to things I liked about my jobs and just memories in general. Even if it is something thats boring to do, you can still remember some of the things fondly and thats nice. 

Another thing I feel like I'm making some progress on is this blog itself. I'm getting slightly more organized about it. I looked back on my older posts and saw some things I liked personally about them and I'm hopefully going to keep up with that a little more and have a blog I'm really proud of... not that I'm not proud of it now... but there are some posts I'm especially proud of and I want to make more posts like that... if that makes sense. 

And aside from that... there is no real progress. Lol. But thats okay. I mean I don't eat as many doritos as usual and I don't watch quite as many cartoons... although I still do watch Hey Arnold and Rugrats from time to time... and yeah. Lol. 

I kind of feel like my next step should be money... which I am significantly better at now that I'm not in school. If I can find ways to get money and like a job of sorts... that'd be cool tho. Right now, I'm focusing on saving and being responsible. Lol.

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
