Well. My teacher gave a loaded writing prompt. Every week in English, we have a free writing assignment, in which she chooses a prompt. This week, it was "Write about a recent conflict you dealt with in your life". Ha. Haha. Yeah... I chose the argument with my dad about the dog. I wrote maybe a little over a doc page. I'm sure she was expecting kids to write about the pandemic or having to do online school for a couple of weeks. Nope. I did my dad. That was a loaded prompt to have. Another loaded one she did last week was "Dread: Write about doing something you don't want to do". I did that on perfectionistic writer's block for essays. Another 2/3 of a doc page. I write well when I have the freedom to, otherwise, structured or planned writing freaks me out, I can't write like that.

I just realized one of the people I've researched the heck out of and my name (Luna) is both Romanian. The person is Vlad Tepes/Vlad the Impaler/Vlad Dracula/Dracula.

YouTube recommended- *video titled "a playlist for waltzing with your enemy"*
Me- I- Youtube, why? That's... odd. Eh, why not? *listens to some random waltz music*

Been listening to a band I haven't for a while. It's a British rock band called Skarlett Riot. They're pretty good, definitely something my brother would listen to more tho.

A lyric from The Material- "Nothing gold can last"
Me, who's mind has been on The Outsiders lately- Hold up-

Dad showed up to pack some more stuff. So did my bro. *sigh*. Other than that, I'll be hanging out with my friend Grace today in 'bout an hour. That's fun. Been a while since we hung out. It's

I wish had favorites of things. I don't have a favorite movie, color, show, band, song, etc. My English teacher just had me write a paragraph about my favorite or least favorite part of my favorite movie/book. I wrote a paragraph about the art in A Silent Voice. Now i have to write a whole essay about my favorite The Outsiders character. I DONT HAVE ONE. I have to pick one, pick three personality traits or main reasons i like them, pick 3 more reasons per main reason (nine mini-reasons total), and i have to have a quote or paraphrase for each main reason, adding up to three total citations. Then i have to cite in MLA format. And the whole essay cannot stray away from that favorite character. I will probably do Johnny, maybe Ponyboy.

I got a book at my library. It's called Lily Clairet. That is all I know about it. No back cover description, no description inside the first page, nothing but the title and the book. I read the first 3 paragraphs, and I'm gonna need a dictionary to read this book. I pride myself on having a relatively wide vocabulary, which I have earned from asking or looking up words I don't know rather than skipping them. And with most books, I read them efficiently, understanding every word, because of my high Lexile range, and the fact I read what is interesting, not what is challenging. With Lily Clairet, there is at least a word or two per PARAGRAPH I don't know. That's rare for me, usually challenging books have a word per chapter I don't know, such as The Novice or The School for Good and Evil, and that's because they are set in different times, and the authors did their research. Meanwhile, with Lily Clairet, from what I can tell, it's modern-day, and given the anime style of the cover and some illustrations, I'm assuming Japan. The author definitely has a wide range of words at their disposal, I am excited to read, though.
