Week 4 (Unedited)

06/19/16

Hello people and happy Father's Day! Today was a pretty lazy day, so there's not much to report. All I know is that I can't stop thinking about how I felt at the mall, and I still don't know how to describe it accurately. I guess deep down I felt like I would never be able to be me if I liked pretty dresses and wanted to wear them, so my brain won't let me even look at them and feel happy, like they're bad for me. Well, it doesn't really matter right now. Maybe I'll go down to a mall one day by myself (so there's no one to judge either way) and just try on random pretty dresses, and see how I actually feel wearing the dress. People would say I look pretty, but I don't know if I look or feel like me in certain dresses. Anyways, happy Father's Day! Congrats to all those fathers out there. You are amazing and I have nothing but respect for taking care of your children.Shout out to pangender people! You people are all of the genders you identify with, and you're not being weird or trying to get attention! Just keep being you! Good night people!

06/20/16Hello people! My wattpad app is acting weird, plus I was very tired today, so this is late and I'm so sorry. Shout out to genderqueer people! You people are completely valid no matter how you identify, even if there isn't a certain word to describe how you feel. You are you, and that's amazing enough.

06/21/16Again I'm sorry, plus I didn't get home until nine. My day was very long, filled with annoyances and fun, but that's fine. As long as it's not unbalanced. Shoutout to demigirls! No matter how much or how little you identify with the female gender, you are completely valid! Including if you also identify with another gender! You are still awesome and perfect the way you are!

06/22/16Hello people! Yay an update that's on time! I'm so happy! This week's theme of summer camp at Taekwondo is a video game theme, which has been really fun for all the kids. Including the three counselors, including me with those two. We all have fighter names, and mine is my ninja name, Lady Red Dragon. It's pretty fun to come up with combos, and we're choreographing a fight scene, and our instructor is going to record it, and make it look like a video game. It's going to be really cool. Today we focused on starting the fight scenes, and figuring our costumes out, and so that will be fun to record tomorrow. My dad picked me up, and I guess I wasted the rest of the day playing games. Oh well. That's all I really did today, so I'm sorry people that this isn't longer, especially after the short updates I've been giving. Comment if you want to know more about me, or the other people at my Taekwondo school, or just things about my life, and I'll make sure to keep that in mind while I'm writing. And finally, shout out to demiboys! You people are awesome! Always be yourself, and you are completely valid and real. Night people, unless I decide to write more in the next few hours. Which is possible, since I already know it's going to be hard for me to go to sleep.

06/23/16Hey people! Today was fun, we recorded our fight scenes for camp, and they really looked fancy and cool. I thought it was going to be horrible but it really wasn't. It was so cool. I can't wait to see the video. During class, we ran it just like testing, so we practiced for testing, which was fun. I'm really excited for tomorrow because testing is tomorrow! Everyone tests for new ranks, or does things to go towards their next rank. I also will be watching Lioness' kids tomorrow. That's always fun. I watch the same movie over and over. It's great.And today was Splash's birthday! But she'll be celebrating more over the weekend with us (Ashley, Mara, and Samm). Her theme is neon, so it'll be fun to wear bright colors. Shout out to androgyne people! You people exist and are real and that's who you are! You don't need to say whether you're a boy or girl, you're just you and that's all you need to be! Now I should stop typing because my cat scratched the middle of my hand so it's hard to type. Night people and have a great day tomorrow!

06/24/16Hello people! Today was a busy day! We filmed the last of the fight scenes for the video game, I watched Lioness' kids during tiger testing and intermediate testing, and three 1st degrees got their second degrees. They were Mop, Tank, and King of the Broken. Mop and King of the Broken were very happy, and Tank was very neutral about it, but I think he was happy on the inside. I got the excitement award (I was the most exciting person at testing by cheering for each other and showing off exciting performance), which is soda. All in all, a fun day.I'm so excited for Splash's sleepover! And my dad said that we would go see Finding Dory tomorrow too! And then next week on my birthday, I will reveal my surprise to everyone! Shout out to intergender people! You people are real and real awesome! Just keep being awesome! That's all I ever ask.

06/25/16Hello people! I just saw Finding Dory at the mall and I loved it! It was definitely worth seeing, and it didn't feel repetitive at all to the first film! I loved it so much! I won't say much about the plot because that would have spoilers. I also went to Old Navy. Today was their deal with flip flops for only one dollar, so I got five pairs of flip flops. Along with that, I got an umbrella (my old one broke), and another pair of shorts. Now I'm going to go on a tangent. Okay, I don't really like shopping. I just don't. So I usually know what I'm going in a store for, find what I like, find my size, and try it on to check, then buy it. Now, with sizes for women, or people who wear women's clothing, NEVER feel bad about what size you are. The sizes change from store to store, so you always have to try on the clothes, then even after a few years the SAME store has changed sizes. How do I know? When I went to Old Navy a year ago to get dress pants for school, I was a size two in women's. If I have changed sizes, I'm pretty sure I have gotten bigger, not smaller. When I bought shorts this year, at the same store location, I didn't fit in the two. Like at all. I could pull them all the way down without any effort. They were too big. Those dress pants still fit, and they're a size 2. Instead, I fit into a child's size 12. Literally, the sizes change. So don't rely on your size at a store to define how curvy/skinny you are. You're beautiful and amazing and wonderful. Don't be defined by a number. Tangent over. Anyways, I'm so excited for Splash's sleepover! It sounds like it's going to be so fun! And then after hers, the next weekend is mine! And everyone there will know about my surprise then! It's going to be so fun, I just hope none of my friends react negatively. Then it wouldn't be fun. I'm so happy today, but I won't be able to update you on how the rest of my day goes since I'll be at Splash's sleepover, so I'll update tomorrow with the rest of what happened today.
