Happy (Early) New Year!

In this post, I'm going to be giving you 5 fun facts about New Year's. Nope, that's boring and I already did that. I need some better stuff here. I had honestly NO IDEA what to write about for New Year's post. Then I remembered the main thing about New Year's. RESOLUTIONS. Here are some of my New Year Resolutions: 1. STOP PROCRASTINATING! (Yes I'm talking to you Savi.) I always leave stuff for the last second. If I'm not interested in something, most likely, it won't get done until the last minute. 2. I've wanted to learn some form of self-defense. One of my friends is a black belt, but I've never really had any training in that specific area. I've always been into fantasy and action stories, so one day, I was just like, "Why don't I try martial arts?" I never really got around to it, but maybe? 3. I want to get back to doing a sport. I did swimming before Covid, and I never really went back to it. I started volleyball in gym cl...

Merry (late) Christmas!

 Yes, I know I'm late, but like most people, I was busy on Christmas. It definitely wasn't traditional, but it was fun. So today, I'm going to tell you some really interesting, (weird) facts about Christmas! 1. What color do you always picture Santa in? Red of course. But, apparently, that wasn't always the case. Santa actually used to wear green, blue, and purple. Coca-Cola wanted to advertise Santa in their colors though, and red just stuck. 2. I'm sure you've heard of Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph, but did you know that TWO of these guys were supposed to have different names? Yup, that's right. Donner and Blitzen were originally supposed to be Dunder and Blixem. Yes, I know, it's weird. 3. I'm sure you know that the holiday Christmas is a holiday to celebrate the birth if Jesus. But, did you know that Jesus wasn't born on Christmas? He might've actually been born in SPRING! Big difference. What ...

Sexism still exists, it's just subtler...

 I was researching women's suffrage for a social studies project when I came across an article about sexism today. It happens literally everywhere. There are things that people say daily, things YOU might say that are just... Sexist. 1. "You run/throw/or do something like a girl" Most people don't even notice this phrase anymore, since people say it every day, but this is an inherently sexist phrase. It's basically saying that only boys can throw/run/or do something well, but not girls. Next time you hear this, maybe say "If you were a little better, maybe you could too." Quote by Mia Hamm, female athlete. 2. "Man up!" Ok, come on. This one is OBVIOUS. It basically implies that boys are stronger and less "emotional" than girls. Which is wrong. If someone says this to you, maybe tell them to woman up instead. 3. "That's good, for a girl" This is SUCH a double standard, COME ON! We can do better. If a boy ever says this to...

Happy Thanksgiving!

  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! So, what's everyone doing today? Eating turkey? Eating VEGETARIAN turkey? Yes, there is such a thing. It exists. Vegetarian turkey is basically a turkey made out of vegetables. (Something you probably already figured out) It. Is. AMAZING! My family is vegetarian so this turkey is our ONLY type of turkey, but trust me, it's worth it. We even add eyes and stuff. It's really weird. Maybe you should look up some recipes if you're a vegetarian who's tired of sitting at the Thanksgiving table and eating...er.... mashed potatoes and mac-and-cheese.  VEGETARIAN TURKEY IS THE BEST! Even if you're eating a real turkey tonight, maybe try some of it?

So, Anyone Up For Some Marvel Talk?

 I was debating what to write about in this post, and I figured, what's one thing that 99% of the population likes? THE MARVEL MOVIES OF COURSE! So, my top! Comment your favorite Marvel movie! (Full disclosure, I am not a Marvel fanatic so I am very underqualified to write this.) My first favorite movie is.......AVENGERS. Yes, who expected this? *Everyone raises their hand*. The first 2 movies aren't that violent. Most people watch it long before they turn 13. My favorite Avengers are, Natasha Romanoff (seriously underrated), Wanda Maximoff (Also pretty underrated), and, of course, everyone's favorite billionaire playboy, Tony Stark. I don't really like Steve Rogers or Thor. (PLEASE DON'T HUNT ME DOWN FOR THAT). I do like Bruce Banner though, mainly because he uses his anger to his advantage and he's pretty funny in a violent sort of way. Black Widow. Alright, everyone's going to object to this and I'm sorry, but COME ON! IT'S AMAZING! I personally l...

Let's start with.... BOOKS!

 SO, one thing that everyone should know is that I love reading and BOOKS! SO THESE ARE MY FAVORITE AUTHORS! They are amazing and I can never decide on just one favorite so here is my list! (These are in no particular order) 1. Jennifer A. Nielson. The main books that I've read from her are either historical fiction or fantasy, but either way, they're perfect. 2. Rick Riordan. OBVIOUSLY! Everyone should've suspected that he would be in here. Known for fantasy and.... well, the mythology of course. 3. Shannon Messenger. Alright. I have only read one book series from her and I don't know whether she has anymore, but I REALLY love Keeper of The Lost Cities (KOTLC). It's FANTASY and totally amazing! (I'm just adding this in here, I WON'T be including Harry Potter in here, even though it is a good series. I have just read it SO many times and I'm sure everyone knows about it.) 4. Chris Colfer. He's written a few fantasy series about fairytale worlds and t...

Welcome To My Blog!

  Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog. I bet most of you are wondering about the name of this blog.  Well, I wasn't sure what to name it since it's about anything and everything. Dang it, that would've been a good name. Well, whatever. Anyway, I look up some comedy names and I found one that said "No Name Nessescary" and then I decided to name it *ERROR* Name Not Found.  Here you will find, erm, I'm not exactly sure yet, but it'll be awesome. I'll try to post at least once a week.  I have had other blogs, but my main problem is that I give up on things halfway through and I really want to change that here! Please help me by commenting and subscribing! Also, please tell me if I say something wrong in any of my posts and I will edit it as soon as possible! Signing off for now, Savi
