2020... Was this the worst year ever?

Alright guys... 2020 is over as of today... I'm writing this on December 29th- but I'm posting this on the first so yeah.

And I have to say as crappy as it was... this is the year I'll probably remember more than a lot of years. It's the year I'll talk about the most and... there are things that were totally unimportant that are things I wouldn't have been special any other year... but this year they're like highlights.

Early on in the year my boyfriend and I saw kind of a lot of movies... which is great- but it's something that we sort of always do... but NOW this is like all I can think about. We haven't seen a movie since Onward released in March... and I don't think we'll be going back any time soon. I just keep thinking like "wow- we saw Invisible Man, Harley Quinn, Sonic the Hedgehog, Onward... I feel like maybe we saw something else... but I keep thinking about it like "Wow! That was so cool. We just saw The Invisible Man in Theaters and went out to dinner after (or maybe before) like it was nothing!" And now... we watch movies on our couch... which is fun but Movie Theaters were great and I'd love to go back to one one day!

When the shutdown happened... it was scary. I work in a store and it's usually very busy... and we barely had any customers. After the Disney Parks shut down... it was like everyone knew something was going on and... it wasn't too long before we closed too. The last day was kind of scary- I didn't know we would be closed. The night before there was an earlier time we were closing and... it was just weird that day. We were just trying to clean things up and put things away. It was a weird day.

Before that was my boyfriend's birthday- which is when Indoor Dining was closed- so we had to do takeout from Chili's for his birthday and my mom went out and bought him a cake and st patrick's day cupcakes because his birthday is on St. Patrick's Day... it was a fun day but a weird day and a sad day cause that was the last day I saw him in a while.

There was also a day on my boyfriend's spring break where we went shopping like all day and I remember seeing Target wiped out of Toilet Paper, Paper Towels, antibacterial wipes, and Hand Sanitizers. They had someone standing outside of Bath and Body Works saying that there was no more Hand Sanitizer... it was crazy.

Okay so my favorite parts of 2020... ANIMAL CROSSING NEW HORIZONS! Omg... I played this game all day every day during the shutdown. It was so much fun... I have so many good neighbors and... I just really like my island. I named it Spencario after my dog Spencer.

Also The Bachelorette! I loved this season so much. The 2 bachelorettes... the 2 engagements and love stories... I really liked Tayshia on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise... and I was happy to see her on the show. And I kinda liked Clare's part too... I was not really a fan of clare on Bachelor Winter Games... but she was kinda crazy on the Bachelorette... but I can see why. I don't exactly know if I'd feel comfortable dating 30 guys in a pandemic and I probably would end the show early too if I felt a connection with one guy. And she didn't waste the other guys time for that long... they were able to get a new lady in and... she did a great job. And now both Clare and Tayshia are happily engaged after 3 seasons with no successful engagements.

I also never watched Dancing With The Stars before... but that was the first show to return and it was fun to watch. And I forgot how much I actually love dancing and watching Dancing so that was a really great show to watch for that. Plus everyone was so good! I wanted Nev to win... but I love Kaitlyn Bristowe and I'm so happy she won.

And HAMILTON! Hamilton is my favorite thing ever... but this year Disney Plus... which is another favorite... released Hamilton and I watched it so many times. I love it. I want to watch it again and again and again just talking about it...

Okay... I think that's everything I want to talk about. I hope you guys have a great New Year's. I really am hoping to post every day on this blog this year... but thats been my goal for a few years so... we'll see. But maybe I can make it through January... I don't have many ideas on what to post but... maybe I will.

Bye!

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 ...
