15 things I'm looking forward to

I've been a bit down lately, so I decided just to come up with a list of things I'm looking forward to, some are immediate, some are far off.

  1. My first drag show. Tonight I'm going with dear friends to my first drag show. I'm very excited for it and am watching this week's Drag Race right now.
  2. My friend Kimisha visiting me. In just a few weeks, I'll get to see my dear friend Kimisha and it will be so good.
  3. Seeing my friend Diana's Connemara cottage. She posts photos all the time and I cannot wait to see it.
  4. Another escape the room. Hopefully some of us are doing it next week and we can escape again.
  5. The rest of the final season of Game of Thrones. I finally figured out a way to watch it here, so I'm pumped to see what happens.
  6. The rest of this season of Drag Race. I'm too invested now, I know. I like too many of the ones who are still there.
  7. The live taping of Why Won't You Date Me? with Brigid. Nicole Byer is a treat and a dream, so I'm excited to see her live.
  8. My brother getting married. Cory is marrying an incredible woman and I couldn't be more excited for them.
  9. My dear friend Leah getting married. In September I'm going to have the delight of watching up close my dear friend get married.
  10. Taking some more pop vinyl pictures. I've been behind on these lately, but I'm excited to do some more. I do have a few ideas.
  11. Being back in Chicago. I'm definitely going to miss Galway, but I also miss my friends and family back home.
  12. Getting to spend time with my nephew. He's gotten so big and I want to be there as he continues to grow. Photos are great, but they don't beat holding him (although now that he's so big, we'll see how long I can sustain that).
  13. Having my finals done. I have 1 out of 4 done. Wish me luck.
  14. Looking for jobs. Yes, there is some dread for this too, but there are some ideas that excite me.
  15. Getting a manicure. I think I should get one and it will be nice.

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
