Rustling Thoughts

Goodness, another month ending? How can this be? And to think, only one more month to go before the end of the year! Wasn't 2016 just starting? *obligatory flailing over the speed of time* Boring Stats from the blog that you will probably end up skipping over: Ok, who is in Singapore, please raise your hand. I must know. Happenings. What? Surprised that I put this in? Well it's in the title so: 1. We gathered with Dad's side of the family to celebrate Grampa's birthday, and guess what?SMORES! 2. I almost forgot about some assignments twenty minutes before they were due. No joke! That'll give you a huge burst of energy right before you're trying to go to sleep. It was one of those: "OH MY GOODNESS, NO!" moments. 3. I learned more swing dancing moves. I am now ambidextrous in that area. So um. Yeah. I can teach anyone if they want to learn it. 4. Gonna address the elephant in the room now: GUYS. NANOWRIMO HAPPENED! And I was in a lov...

Find July's post  here . If you have any questions, go  here . You can join any time, and it's super fun too! I'm going to do mine on Millicent, who is a very, I repeat, VERY big character in at least two (most likely more) of my stories. She's the villain in one, and I can't tell you very much about her in the other one right now, because huge spoilers.  Onwards! Do they want to get married and/or have children? Why or why not? Actually, she did get married, but I can't tell you who she married, because that would completely give away The Huge Spoiler. She did have a daughter though. (hold on a sec, I gave you a sizeable hint a post or two ago here )  What is their weapon of choice? (It doesn’t necessarily have to be a physical weapon.) Her wit. What’s the nicest thing they’ve done for someone else, and why did they do it? She would say that the nicest thing she's done thus far is leaving. Her daughter would say otherwise. H...

Normally, I'd wait until the end of the month to do a life update, but since when are rules always followed around here? *scratches head* Christian and I finished our first college class last week. Our professor ordered pizza and I made cookies. We finished out our presentations. I also got to drive the Tank again, because we don't exactly know how extensive the damage is on the civic so Dad doesn't want me driving it around. So that was a thing. Our pool is almost full! I repeat, our pool is almost full! why in the world did I misspell "almost" twice in a row? Public Speaking class started Monday. The professor seems ok, but here are more students in this class, so that'll be interesting. Grey has started to push her chicks out into the world. She's not defending them or gathering them to herself quite as much. They've almost all got their grown-up feathers, except in a few patches where they're still growing. Their long legs really make ...

Wherein Chloe is a tad bit frustrated with the progress of "The Exile and the Songbird." Once upon a time, I had the brilliant idea to smash together "Robin Hood" and "Sleeping Beauty." I was very excited about it, even went so far as to sign up for NaNoWriMo just so I would have the extra motivation to write it. NaNo came and went, and I was still under 10K words. Not so bad, considering this was my first ever big story, first ever NaNo, first ever a lot of things. I had so many ideas for how I wanted the story to go, the only problem was that the majority of the scathingly brilliant ideas where to take place in the middle/end of the story, thus I had to write all the boring parts first. I know you're thinking "eh, whatever, that's just a part of writing." And I know that is true, but I got bored (I guess?) so I unleashed sarcasm upon all the characters in order to keep myself entertained. Here's the issue though: *pause f...

Warning: this is going to be an incredibly long post, so you may want to come back to it later. *cracks knuckles* Alright, let's do this! Tags: On January 21st,  Mary  tagged me for the Blogging About Blogs tag. The Rules: 1. Thank the person who tagged you. (thanks dearie!) 2. Answer the questions. 3. Tag some blogging friends. The Questions: 1) Blog that makes me laugh: Cait  at  Paper Fury  has a hilarious blog. I almost always end up making rather unladylike snorts whilst trying to keep the giggles at bay.  Also,  Treskie  at  Occasional Randomness ,   Jack  at  However improbable , and  Writefury  always manage to brighten my day when I'm feeling down. 2) Blog that makes me think: Just one? Are you kidding me? No way, I'm so bending this rule (I'll probably end up bending all of them) Kara  at  Coffee With Kara ,  Amanda  at  Scattered Journal Pages ,  Christin...
