Okay, so I WAS going to save this blog for a time closer to the end of December, but then I had a realization! And the realization I could not keep to myself because no one was on chat! So I'm throwing my brain at a blog. Just watch the magic, kiddos.

Subject-that-this-Blog-Covers #1: 2016 stuffs! So here's my (so far) list of the most memorable 2016 moments in no particular order!

1. My grandpa's death

2.  the election

3. A road trip where a Lamborghini passed by and my dad rolled down the window to hear it (according to him, the vroom vroom of a sports car is music). On the same road trip, we passed by a Ferrari on the way to the hotel and a Ferrari on the way back home.

4. Joining WFW and making some friends! (I know it says I joined November last year, but I wasn't active at all and then disappeared until April 2016)

5. Lyrix's incident

6. Going to Huna

7. My sister's face upon learning that Santa isn't real

8. My sister being tricked into thinking it was tomorrow and she was late for school and didn't finish her homework, and then breaking down and crying. (My dad did that btw. BEST. DAD. EVER.)

9. My mom needed medicine and the side effects were worse than in fifth grade when I was having hormonal mood swings. Even worse, she had NO sense of humor. I'm not exaggerating. She didn't smile when my dog ran in circles attacking her tail and three times in one week, when I cracked a joke, she said she wanted to strangle me.

10. The disgusting smog of LA

11. Really bright stars

12. Being my grandma's Facebook helper, even though I don't use Facebook. And being both annoyed and laughing because she doesn't understand the simplest things.

13. The frustration of connecting a bluetooth speaker with my laptop

Subject-that-this-Blog-Covers #2: I DISCOVERED THE SECRET OF BLOCKS. No, not Legos or Roblox. (But the secret to those is that Legos are painful and Roblox is not very blocky).

I mean blocks like writer's block and artist's block. I've had a writing block for a while, until I read a sample of a book and my brain started screaming something along the lines of "SOMEONE GIVE ME FIFTEEN BUCKS RIGHT NOW SO I CAN BUY THIS". And that day, I wrote three paragraphs. While not what I usually write in one sitting (which is a full chapter), it's better than one sentence! I also noticed that the less I drowned myself watching speedpaints on YouTube, the less I really felt like drawing. I realized that for me, getting over a block is reading a ton and watching a ton of speedpaints.

And eating chicken. Chicken is really, really yummy. I officially make Chicken's Block a thing. Yeah. If you don't feel like eating chicken for some reason, tsk tsk tsk, talk to your doctor about Chicken's Block Be-Gone, proving to be  triple the effectiveness of other brands like Chicken Yum.
