Quarantine

My brain is a never-ending stream of "I should be doing this." I need to get out more. I need to find more people around my age. I need to start making more friends. I need to write more, I need to stop writing my blog posts last-minute (it's Tuesday night right now, and my blog post comes out seven hours from now). I need to go back to volunteering at the shelter, apply to more jobs. I need to do this, I need to do that.

After my internal monologue about the things I ought to be doing, guess what usually happens? I don't do it. "I'm not in the mood to write at the moment," I say. "I'll do it at a better, more convenient time," I tell myself. On and on it goes, and I don't do stuff half as much as I feel I should. On top of that, as my general mood gets worse, my desire to do things decreases. There are times when I just don't feel like doing anything.

Misheard Lyrics

Sometimes when listening to music, we hear different lyrics than what are actually sung. Whether it's words vastly different from the real ones (How did we even hear that?), nonsense, or Siamese triplets named Emily, interesting blunders occur from mishearing a song. Below are some examples.

Things More Fun With Friends

The thing about a good friend is that you just like hanging out with them. Whether it's a birthday party, going to a movie theater, playing video games, or laughing as you beat them at 'Sorry!', things are more fun with them around.
But it's not just about the fun activities like holding a pillow fight (despite your parents instructing the horde of eight-years-olds to go to bed approximately 8,000,000 times). It's also about making even the mundane things more enjoyable. You have to buy paper towels and canned corn? Having your friend with you will make the journey to WinCo more interesting. And oh boy, they're heading to the hardware store tomorrow. You'd better tag along to provide them with conversation while they purchase those super-exciting nails and screws.

Writing Problems

Over time, I've encountered many issues during the writing process. Sometimes it's writer's block, or making mistakes, or finding giant plot holes. If you're a writer, you can relate. Or if you have a sense of humor, you'd probably get a laugh out of the insanity and chaos.
Either way, here's a compilation of my struggles and thoughts regarding writing.
