Half Term: Day 2 - Is my creativity gone?

Hello whoever might be out there, 

I have sat here for the last hour trying to think of something to say about today. But I have nothing. And that is okay.

I give myself these writing challenges in the hope that I will come up with some creative genius on every single day, but that isn't always possible. In fact I am impressed that I even made it to day two.

You would have thought that I would know myself well enough by now to not start challenges like these that require daily consistency because then I feel forced to do it. And I hate being forced to do things. Yet here I am, once again pushing myself. Trying to force out that creative spark. Convinced that the more I try and force it, the easier it will flow.

There's only so many times I can say "I did nothing today." I mean, I went to my Grandma's house, sure, but people have become so used to that being my answer to the question "What did you do over the weekend?" That it isn't an interesting answer anymore. More like a cop out. But I have no other answer to give.

People don't want to hear about my new fluffy socks or how I got my favourite Sainsbury's chicken bites reduced, but who doesn't love a yellow sticker? But I have no other interesting story to tell. Unless people are willing to hear the one about how I view my creativity like buttercream in a piping bag, constantly trying to squeeze out more but reluctant to whip out the spatula.

I got my second Cresselia though. As well as 3 more Skarmory. And I unlocked Glaceon in Pokémon Unite. That's the highlight of my day.

Maybe there's still more buttercream left in the piping bag?

Yours faithfully, 

MD

Lego Friends: Girlz 4 Life

Hello whoever might be out there, I love charity shops, because you can find some absolute gold in there; such as today where I found a Lego Friends DVD that I had honestly forgotten about when writing my previous posts regarding the franchise. That is the Girlz 4 Life movie. This film was released in 2016 and captures everything that I believe to be wrong with the 2012 version of Lego Friends. Don't get me wrong, it was a good film and is the standard for what every film for a younger audience should be; short, entertaining, and annoyingly unrealistic. I mean, how do you just conveniently manage to get into a press conference for supposedly the biggest in universe celebrity? I made a few notes while watching. Nerdy? Yes. But I knew I would want to talk about this on here so I kept receipts, and I am so glad I did. And in case you haven't already caught on, there will be spoilers. There was one specific moment that made me literally pause the film to pull out my phone. There is...

Welcome

Hello whoever might be out there, I have always had such a strong passion for writing and rambling, so where better to do that than a blog? I have opinions on a lot of things, and sometimes yelling them out into the void of the internet will do me some good. Letting my words linger for eternity has a slight scariness to it though, the fact something so innocent and irrelevant as a mere blog post can linger for all of eternity. But I am making the conscious decision to take comfort in that fact. To know that even if I am no longer here, my words will be. Forever immortalised as an anonymous blog poster.  I want to be as anonymous as possible, if that even is possible? I am not going to do one of those fun facts about myself lists, that sort of information will just be fed in drips and drabs over time. The only information I feel is actually relevant is that I am a teenager from England. I want to give people something to think about. Something to mellow over in their spare time. I a...

Lego Friends thoughts

Hello whoever might be out there, I love Lego Friends. It is a interest that has stuck with me ever since I was six years old, so much so that it influenced my choice in name change (no, Mae is not my real name). I was there for the OG five with their OG designs. Mia, Emma, Olivia, Stephanie, and Andrea. I have seen the drama over the 2018 redesign. I have seen even more drama over the 2023 overhaul. Nova, Autumn, Liann, Leo, Olly, Zac, Paisley, and Aliya. I love it. To (not so) briefly outline, the original designs of the five girls were extremely non-diverse and stereotypical. Four out of the five girls were white, and even then Andrea was simply the token "slightly darker skinned" girl. From left to right: Mia was ginger and liked animals but notably, unlike the other girls, wears trousers!; Emma was black-haired and liked art and karate. Andrea was, as I previously stated, the token non-white girl with brown curly hair, and she liked singing; Stephanie was blonde and like...
