Just how soon my summer break is going to be over has hit me over the past several days. It really is coming up fast since I'm going back earlier this year than I ever have before. There's just so much I want to get done before then. I'm in the middle of re-watches of both Shadowhunters and Ouran High School Host Club that I think I can manage to finish. Plus, I want to finish the first draft of the story I've been working on, which I also think I can manage. Those aren't the only things, but I feel like the story in particular is what I'll really have to push myself on in order to make sure I finish it before I'm back in Indianapolis.
It's still summer break for now though, and I'm trying to appreciate it while it lasts. Today I got to see my friend Ji, which was nice. We got lunch together, and I got to meet her cat, who appreciates being around people more than any cat I've ever met before. It was a lot of fun.
While I was on my way home though, severe thunderstorm warnings started coming over the radio, and I noticed how dark it was back behind me. Luckily, I was driving away from the storm, and I managed to get home less than five minutes before it began pouring down rain outside. I'd count myself pretty lucky.

Life Post: Happy 4th of July
I feel like the only posts I'm writing recently are these posts. Like I mentioned last time, I do have drafts of other posts saved, but at least one of them has to wait until my assigned day for Potterhead July and the others I do need to open up and edit.
Anyway, today's July 4th, so happy Independence Day to all the other Americans who read my blog. I'm not actually doing anything today. There was a cookout at my aunt and uncle's on Saturday. They hold it every year, but I have to say the weather this year was the best I ever remember it being. The temperature was perfect, and while there were a few sprinkles, it never rained all that hard. Too bad it can't be like that every year.
Despite the lack of rain at the cookout, it has been storming both yesterday and today. That hasn't stopped everyone from setting off fireworks. I've been hearing them since July 2nd. I think it is supposed to storm through the evening tonight, so we'll see if anyone sets them off on the actual holiday. Of all the holidays, the 4th of July might be the most inconvenient one to get rain on considering so much of it revolves around fireworks, but I know that I, for one, can't complain when it means we have the cooler temperatures that we've been having all weekend.
Whle I've been terrible at posting here recently, I did finally post on my writing blog (which I've been neglecting even more) a few days ago. I wrote about why writing romantic relationships sometimes feels intimidating to me. Feel free to check it out if you're interested.
I hope everyone celebrating the holiday tonight manages to have fun even if it's raining where you live too.

List Post: Back from Vacation and Check Out Potterhead July
We are back from vacation. Actually, we have been since the beginning of this week. That's why I was able to upload the video that I filmed while there (and the Reign review that I filmed before leaving but didn't have the wifi to upload).
Looking back at that post I wrote from my phone, it's a lot longer than I thought it would be while typing my phone. I won't lie. It's nice to be typing on a computer again. While I love smartphones and think it's amazing that we have the ability to access the Internet from phones now, typing on a phone will just never be as easy as typing on an actual keyboard. Not unless the trend for large phones keeps going and going and we end up with something more like a laptop than a phone. I hope that doesn't happen, but to be fair, I also didn't like how large the iPhone 6 was until I got one and began using it. Now whenever I use my mom's iPhone 4 it feels ridiculously small.
Anyway, that was a tangent I didn't mean to go on. I'm primarily writing this post to say, "Hey. We're back from vacation." I've had a string of videos on the blog without any written posts since, so I figured I needed to post something. The reason for that is that I had the two videos either from vacation or before vacation that needed to be posted. Plus, I've been posting quite a few fanfictions that I've been working on, and I have been busy finishing up editing all of those. With that and feeling like I needed a rest after vacation (Am I the only one who feels like they need to rest after a vacation instead of coming back feeling rested?), I just haven't been up for getting any posts up.
Although, while I said that, I do have two posts saved as drafts right now. As of right now they were me blurting thoughts out into a draft. None of it is logically organized to make sense to anyone but me because I didn't feel like making them coherent to others while writing them. I will make those easier to read and post them soon, but one of them is for the Potterhead July blog festival, which means you won't be seeing it until my designated day on July 14th. (As you can see from the schedule, I'm writing about my next generation headcanons. Yay!) I'm incredibly excited to be participating in the event, and I highly recommend that you go read every one else's posts as well. It starts today (July 1st). Who doesn't want to talk about Harry Potter every day for a month?
