The Only Gift I Ever Truly Loved, My Special Gift

         So let me start this off by saying this is about a past gift I received and will never receive again until the day I move out of my mother's house. Another note, this was on a day in May and I was not a happy camper that day. My bird had just died due to my two dogs attacking it when they somehow managed to get into my room. So after about an hour of crying my mom asked if I wanted to go out and get a puppy to make me feel better. Of course I said yes since it was my dream to get a puppy.

       After a few hours we finally came to adopt a Yorkshire Terrier and I named him Logan for some strange reason. As a puppy Logan was fun to play with and probably my best friend back then. As he started to grow up he became more aggressive towards my male dog ,Pookey (who is sadly deceased), and would always nip at him. It got to the point where Pookey would be bleeding due to this puppy biting him constantly. I will also say that since Pookey was much older he never bit Logan back, he just endured the treatment. After finally having enough of Logan continuously tormenting Pookey, my mom thought it would be wise to give him away to a co-worker's son who had always wanted a puppy for Christmas. So as Christmas Eve came, my mom gave him away just as she said she would.

         I was fine with that. I was not fine with that. If I'm being honest here I probably cried for a good hour. Thinking of the saying "all good things must come to an end," I accepted what had been done and had moved on with my life(lol). So I guess you can say my early Christmas gift for that year was my mom giving away my puppy :,). 
         In all seriousness though, I really don't blame my mom for giving him away. Looking back on it I probably would've done the same. Oh well, what can you do? Things happen for a reason so it's best not to question it. Also did I mention I'm closing this? Oh. I didn't? Well I am now so bye bye!

Origin of My Oh-So Lovely Name

     So for starters Acacia is a baby girl name. According to most websites I've visited the name's origin is Greek and was derived from the Greek word 'ακη'(via Ακακία ), which means 'thorn, point'. Now I don't know how accurate the translation is since I'm not Greek, but we'll leave it as is.
     This is just for fun but some nicknames for 'Acacia' are Kay, Kaysha, Aysha, Ace, Cacie, Cacia, and Casey. That's about it so see(??) you next time when I have another assignment to write. Bye for now!
   ((NOTE: Do NOT address me with any of these nicknames because then I would be very angry with you and it will not end well for me nor you, unless you're Mrs.Joyner in which case it's ok.))

If I Had To Work In A School

      If I had  to choose a job in a school, I'd most likely be a photography teacher. The reason I say this is because it would be something that I both enjoy and know about. I also just love taking pictures of things I find fascinating because just like the phrase, "take a picture, it last longer," I like looking at beautiful things for longer than just a few seconds or minutes. Aside from that, I'd love to teach students about the history of cameras and how they took photos from way back, when the first camera was invented, up until today. I would also love to give out assignments of taking photos of a specific object or scenery and have them turn it in to see how well (or badly) their pictures turned out, and if they didn't turn out so well I'd love to help students work out their problems. Another thing I'd do is probably give test on how to produce photos and about specific types of cameras. After the test, if the class got scores higher than a C-, I would do a class project where they actually try to produce photos of their own, from when you couldn't just simply take a photo and have it appear. Other things I'd probably do are capture photos of students doing school events, whether it be a sports event or a fair, or I would record concerts.
      That's basically what I would do if I had to choose a job within a school. Though some of my ideas most likely won't be allowed by schools, I would still love to try those things out. Anyways, since I'm terrible at wrapping things up I'll end it with this, See ya later~!

10 Things I'm Thankful For~

I'm sitting in my chair with my feet kicked up on the table and laptop on my lap. I begin typing this paragraph onto the page with a piece of strawberry mamba in my mouth. As the sweetness fills my taste buds, I think about all the things I am thankful for.

My Thankful List~

(disclaimer; these are in no specific order)

1.  I'm thankful for my friends who keep me on my feet and always make me smile, whether they mean to or not.
2. I'm thankful for animals because with all the chaos that's happening in the world, they make it about 10x greater just by being their adorable selves, all without knowing it.
3. I'm thankful for my family because when all goes wrong and times are rough for me, I'll always know I can have a place to go home to.
4. I'm thankful for Sherlock because honestly, it's just inspired me a bit more to become a detective.
5. I'm thankful for anime such as Haikyuu!!, Yuri On Ice!, Kings of Despair, 91 Days, Bungou Stray Dogs, Trickster, and so many more because they allow me to obsess over fictional characters that are oh so attractive.
6. I'm thankful for Julie, one of my of my best friends who is out of state, because she always calls me on a daily basis while walking home, she watches anime or YouTube with me, plays videogames with me, and on down days she just has a long meaningful conversation with me.
7. I'm thankful for Yuri On Ice!(again), Viktor, Yuri, Yurio, everyone. All the characters make my day every Wednesday, especially Viktor and Yuri.
8. I'm thankful for food. Seriously. Think about a life without food, wait...there wouldn't be a life. Food is life, quite literally. I have no further need to explain this.
9. I'm thankful for music, which is basically something that I find interesting to know where it came from and how someone thought, "Hey, this is pretty decent, maybe this could be a thing that I just do once in a while." Well, little did they know how far it would go through history and develop into something so much more. 
10. I'm thankful for nature. Now, I'm going to be honest, I don't know why I am thankful for nature. It gives me a sort of calming feeling to go into an isolated area away from houses, streets, noise. Just smelling the air in a forest while taking a walk has to be one of my favorite things, besides the shadows and light trees cast, making it such a beautiful scenery. Honestly, I could go on about nature for a while but it's best if I just stop here.

             Those were the 10 things I'm thankful for. Hopefully it tells you a little about me, see ya~

Oh The Glory of Comfort Food~

Aright, so have you ever been so down in the dumps or just really angry and nothing is helping your mood what so ever? If yes, then I relate to you. Though something that will always calm me down or make me feel better is food.

Comfort food is probably the worst and besting thing there is. A pro about comfort food is that it gets you out of the mood you're in and makes you forget about it, especially if you play with your food in your head. Playing your food is fun in general but it'll make a mess and people will get mad at you so don't do that.

A con, a very big con, about comfort food is that you usually don't pay attention to how much you're eating while eating food in a frustrated state of mind, so you may go overboard with the the eating and give yourself some stomach aches and probably gain a few unwanted pounds. Yeah, bad right? Ya. Anyways~ one of my favorite comfort foods is marshmallows. Marshmallows and so cute and squishy it's like they're miniature people! My favorite thing to do with marshmallows is give them little faces with something chocolate, each with different personalities and faces, then give them small families. I like seeing my marshmallow village be happy, me being their glorious queen and all. Though all fun must come to an end, whether it be sudden or slow. I choose sudden though. What I do is pick the one with the happiest expression, smile at it as I bring it closer to my face, then bite down and rip its small head off. I'd like to imagine that the marshmallow people screech in adorable voices of terror as they see one of their own being brutally murdered by their, oh-so-perfect queen. I repeat that with every family of marshmallows until there is only one left. I converse with that one. It survived a massacre. It should be grateful that I'm such a generous ruler. Though, like every person who's been a victim of horror, it usually just freaks out and can't make any proper conversations. So, I end it's suffering and eat it whole. Now, aren't I such a great queen?

Anyways, I seem to have gone off topic, but whether you play around with your comfort food or just enjoy it for what it is, food, comfort food is there to make you feel better in your times of distress and just be there when you don't have anyone else. Just make sure you don't go overboard and eat too much, or make small kingdoms and murder them. Definitely don't do that. Anyways, just remember, comfort food is something you can rely on. See ya~

A Childhood Favorite~

THE MARVELOUS MISADVENTURES OF FLAPJACK!

    One of my childhood favorites is a show called Flapjack. It's about a boy who has a best friend who acts like his mother, and who just so happens to be a whale. Flapjack also has best friend who's an old, candy drunken pirate. The whales name is Bubbie and the pirates is Captain K'nuckles. These three travel around living inside of Bubbie's mouth, in search of a place called Candied Island, which is supposedly a place where "sody pops go drippin down the rocks" and there's "lollypop trees and a lemonade sea". Although Flapjack and Capt. K'nuckles also insist there is such a place, Bubbie always says it's dangerous and it's safer at the docks where they stay.

    At the docks, there a bunch of sardine fisherman, a creepy barber who also happens to be a dentist, doctor, and other things of the sort. There's also a man who owns a 'candy bar' and has candy drinks, candy food, and, surprise surprise, a candy wife. There's always a new person who, usually, is creepy and gives off bad vibes. Flapjack, being the friendly little child he is, considers everyone and everything his friend. Including a diseased rat the gave the plague to everyone it didn't like. Bubbie tries to keep Flapjack away from these types of characters, but always manages to not succeed.
     I don't really know why I liked this cartoon so much, but I do know I was extremely sad when it was discontinued. Sadly, this show was said to only have aired to prove a point that there were better cartoons than The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. Anyways, this was one of my childhood favorites, see ya.

Where I'll Be (Hopefully) In 10 Years

Where I think I'll be in 10 years is either graduating college or on my last year of college. I plan on becoming a homicide detective. I do know it takes a lot of hard work in order to achieve my goal but I plan to succeed. Now, I know I may sound arrogant with that last statement, but it's the truth. I know I'm known for being lazy and always waiting to do things last minute, and of course I won't deny that, but if it's something I'm really serious about and enjoy doing I always give it my full attention and effort. Knowing I already have support from my family members, I have a bit more confidence in what I plan to do in the future. I know along the way I may hit a few bumps in the road but if I end up achieving my goal that's all that matters to me.

"Anger is just sad's bodyguard" is something I can relate to in some way or another. I'm sure we've all had a time where we felt like nothing mattered, you just didn't want to commit to anything, and talking just seemed like too much effort. Though, you never voiced these thoughts. So as those around you try to talk to you when you don't want to,or wanted to take you out, you slowly get more and more frustrated, and end up taking anger out on those you cherish. It's not as though you wanted to, it's just anger was something that overruled your thoughts to express that sadness to anyone. So relating to the quote, when I'm sad, I usually get angry easily, not wanting anyone to see what emotion I'm actually feeling. It's not something I can explain very well, but it's like I'm hiding it away, protecting it from ever being shown..
