Thank you for adding my book to your reading list. 

Me: Don’t get the dog tangled in the wires!
          Brother: I KNOW! 
          **A few weeks later**
          Dog: *Running around*
          Dog: *Gets tangled in the wires*
          Computer: *falls spectacularly to the hardwood floor*
          Me: I knew this day would frickin’ come! 
          Brother: Oops? 

Who’s seen the Netflix show Bridgeton? It’s about a family called the Bridgetons who live during the year 1813 and one of Lord and Lady’s eldest daughter, Daphne, is slated to marry before the end of the London season, which is when girls are expected to marry within that timeline. Then there’s Lady Whistleton who writes gossip about every major event and nobody knows her true identity. There’s the Featheringtons and young Miss Thompson. And of course the mysterious Simon Hastings. 
          
          I definitely recommend watching it. Full of drama, romance, tragedy, scandal and mysteries, it’s a good show to watch during the weekend! 

I just met my stepsister, Victoria (who’s probably about 23 years old) after 8 years of absolutely no contact. I was 10 years old last time I saw her and I was in the 4th grade. She has just arrived from the airport to spend the remaining holidays with us, including my younger stepsister, Jillian (who is also visiting), who is almost two months older than me. I don’t know if she knows I’m autistic, but either way, it’s likely she still sees me as the extremely shy girl, but I don’t mind. I am very shy around new people or strangers (unless they mean ill intent and that’s when I’m completely defensive and don’t trust them a single bit). 

My parents started putting numbers instead of our names on our presents during the holidays, but when I was in 6th grade, we managed to decipher the code that was in use that Christmas, so my parents had to up the security and we haven’t solved any other codes since. Of course, the codes used this year are stuff like A1 or J6 or E5. Note that my stepsister’s name starts with an A, my brother’s name starts with a J, and me and my sister’s names start with an E. Haven’t seen any letter H, since my twin’s name starts with an H. Hmm...
          So... maybe we could solve these ones? But we don’t try very hard anymore because our parents don’t particularly like us doing that. 

What scares you? 
          
          For me, it’s heights and pipes. 
          
          Yes, PIPES. 
          
          If I walk under a exposed ceiling that pipes can be seen, I am terrified. Every time I walk under pipes, I get a horrible sense of dread...

One of our dogs figured out how to open the side gate that leads to the street. Originally, he tried opening doors by using his mouth and twisting the doorknob, but failed. 
          
          He’s gotten smart. 

Have you ever dreamt of a place you’ve never been to and then seen it in real life? I dreamt of a mental hospital and I was at the university my dad works at and there was a hallway that was completely identical to the one I saw in my dream. Creepy!

Who’s seen the Queen’s Gambit? It’s #10 on Netflix today. I haven’t finished the series yet, but it’s good! 

I’ve read some enlightening stories today... 
          Read some new ships... but I skipped most of them because it’s still weird.
