Heeeeeeey… It’s been… a long, long time… Uh… yeah.
Since I was last here (ALMOST A YEAR AGO), I’ve been… doing school. Okay, okay, that’s not all I’ve been doing, but sometimes it feels like it. Bah. Anywho, in ye olde Carolina I made new friends, which was amazing, and improved my artist skills, but that’s not too exciting.
Never fear, past me, you did indeed do NaNo! Barely scraped by, but you did it! I did it! Sorry I didn’t put up a poll like I have before. I’ll talk more about the book I wrote, “Life, Death, and the Other Things”, on its own page once I make that (at the top, under the “Books” tab, if you’re wondering :).
In other news, I joined DeviantArt (yaaaay), a site where people upload their art and look at other people’s art, and traveled around the good old USA (which is feeling more “old” than “good” after being here for… *deep breath* OVER A YEAR). I got to see snow and old friends (more good than old), buy video games and other things (my priorities are right on target, aren’t they?), spend time with the extended family, see cool sights and do cool things, and really, a good time was had by all. I think. I even got to be a part of my aunt’s wedding, which was awesome!
Soon, hopefully, I’ll be completing online school and we’ll be going back to Kenya! Then it’s right into a new school, thankfully not online. It’s gonna be a change, for sure. Needless to say, prayer would be appreciated.
That’s about it for now. Nothing exciting, I know. Besides updating the book pages/description-thingies here, I’m also hoping to put up a short story I wrote for English called “Not-Cool Yule” (that will be under “Short Stories”, FYI). And I’ll try and link my DeviantArt, if you want to see that garbage…
Write y’all later!

P.S. Since this blog is mostly useless nonsense, I’ve decided to try and give you guys some use out if it. So, I’m going to recommend some things! (Okay, fine, this is just an excuse to include my favorite thing: links.) (and yeah, this is still pretty useless…)
