a bunch of incredibly short paragraphs

 sorry. It's been a bit, but I have been busy.

 Not sure what to write about today. I could do the question thing again, but I did that in my last post. I'll try to do more questions next post.

 I could write about my persuasive speech again since we have a thing with that. It's pretty much done. I finished the rough draft, and just need someone to help edit. But yeah, persuasive speeches aren't interesting to write about, so we won't do that.

 I could write about incredibly much rain we've been getting. It's so wet here. But the weather isn't interesting to talk about, except maybe for old men and farmers.

 I could write about COVID, but we're allllll tired of that, and also I want to avoid controversy as much as possible.

 I could write about finishing Pride and Prejudice and starting Emma, but I kind of just did. That's not a broad enough topic.

 I could write about French again... ehhhh non. Je ne veux pas. (I don't want to). I should be watching my lecture as we speak, but we all know how that goes by now.

 I could write about how much I've been reading lately. When I was little I was a definite bookworm. Then I went through a stage where I was super not into reading. Now, since April, I've read four and a half books and listened to two. But I don't want to write about that. You all probably read more than I do anyway.

 I could write about the stuff going on in our house right now. We just redid my sister's and my room, and now the basement is being tackled. So our house is being transformed. But that won't make much sense to most of you who haven't seen our house. Plus, that's not really what I had in mind for a captivating blog post topic.

 I could write about how I should be playing more piano right now. But again, no more to say on that topic.

 I could write about my urge to write a book someday,
\
 Or our adorable kittens,
\
 Or Sebastian, our calf,

 But none of these things seem interesting enough or broad enough to write a whole blog post on, so I guess I'll just not write anything at all.

thirty-three questions

  It's a rainy, muddy, cool-ish, gray-ish, Sunday, but it's nice to be inside.   We had real church for the first time in almost three months, keeping the limit to fifty people of course, and social distancing inside. It was glorious to see my people again.   I'm in the mood to write, but I didn't know what to write about. So I looked up a list of questions and I'll answer them about myself. Just so you guys can know me better, and I can satisfy my need to write for now.   The list has 800 questions, but it would take me an eternity and three days to answer 800 questions. I am not an insanely skilled typist. I don't know how many I'll answer, but I guess we'll get started and see how it goes.   1. What's your full name?      Natalia Brooke Martin. (possibly gonna change that to Natalia Brooke Labelle. if that doesn't make sense, go read the last question on my "Liebster Award" post. Possibly even read the whole post if you wan...

introduction/a bit about me

  Hey   I'm Natalia. Call me Tillie though. I kind of like my nickname.   This blog will be a discussion on perspectives of anything and everything. From movies to books to  food. .. whatever you guys want. Leave comments telling me what you want to hear about.  Some things you should know about me:   1. I am very opinionated. You will have to be prepared. On this blog, I will be saying what I think about things, and if you disagree, that's fine. I will apologize ahead of time for this. Sorry. And I will do my best not to be blunt. Also, I don't mind if you feel differently. Tell me so in the comments or email me about it. My email address is tilliebrooke@gmail.com.  2. My sentences can sometimes end up long and stringy and slightly weird. If you are a super observant person, you might have noticed that already...   3. I am not necessarily an inspirational writer. Again, if you are a super observant person you will have...

to ramble pt. 2 (a melancholy post)

  I'm currently in one of my moods. Meaning that I need to DO something or GO somewhere or SEE someone. But it's a Thursday night, at the beginning of July, in the middle of a pandemic. So you see my problem. I'm a little stuck.  Some people would say I need to just stop and look around and stop whining because I have everything I could ever need, and so much more. And it's true, so I feel bad.     But do you never just get a mood ?   Let's talk about moods.   I have so many different moods all the time. My mood right now is a mixture of melancholy-ness and wanderlust. I'm feeling RESTLESS. But probably tomorrow I'll be in my life-is-good-Natalia-stop-thinking-about-everything-you want-and-don't-have-and-just-be- grateful mood. I guess you might say my moods are complicated. I don't know. (Just kidding, I absolutely do know, my moods most definitely are complicated and that's not a good thing either.)  Well, okay, sometimes complicated m...

new phone, new pictures

 I wasn't gonna post this soon again, and I was going to post more question/answer thingys when I did decide to post, but I wanted to do SOMETHING, and pictures seem good.   I got an old new phone not that long ago. And the camera is a HUGE upgrade from my last phone, so naturally, I have been testing it out quite a bit. I'll just put some pictures here. Enjoyyyy First, just a pretty sunset from the evening of the summer solstice (Saturday night, and the day before Father's day). And a story. Mom posted a picture of the sunset on her Instagram story, with something about the summer solstice and whatnot. Mind you, this was at probably 11:30 p.m. She also (kind of jokingly I think) mentioned that someone should come over and enjoy the sunset with us, and she would serve them iced tea and we would talk till midnight. HA. You know what's coming. A couple from our church (very spontaneous people, very fun, and very much into doing things like this) did act...

FiNaLlY that q and a thing I promised (aka, 24 questions)

   Okay, so um last time I did this, I re-typed all of the questions myself, so all of the fonts would match and so forth (so basically just for aesthetic's sake), but I don't have time to do that again, so the questions will be in a different font. That might actually make it better anyway, making it easier to distinguish between questions and answers, so why didn't I think of doing that before. But we are where we are folks. *smiles* let's move on.  1) Do you wear sunglasses indoors to look cool or stylish?  first of all, interesting question. I never wear sunglasses, inside or outside, mostly for the reason that I wear actual glasses, and so it would get annoying to be constantly switching them out. I actually don't even admire sunglasses, so I would never wear them thinking they made me look cool. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people wear them when they're talking to you, so you can't even tell if they're looking at you. Eyes are one of the ma...
