The "Sunday Currently" + Q&A requests

Hey guys! First, I just want to say that I'm not going to be blogging as Indigo anymore. I don't know... I created the Indigo persona for this blog almost a year ago and I just feel like I've outgrown it. I'm not the same person I was when I started this blog, not even close; I've grown so much. And I feel that sometimes, while I'm writing as Indigo, I'm not really being myself; I'm slightly pretending to someone else, some cool blogger girl who isn't really me...

I've realised that I want to be more honest with my readers, more open about who I am. And I feel like a good way to start that would be to tell you my real name. It's Andrea, pronounced An-drey-ah, by the way. None of that An-dree-ah business, please. If you ever meet me in real life, make sure you pronounce my name right, unless you want to really piss me off. And believe me, you do not want to piss me off. I might grin awkwardly at you and five hours later come up with ways to get back at you. (Seriously what am I like.)

Okay, so, moving on! So I was on Cossette's blog, Random Thoughts of A Socially-Awkward Optimist, and I saw that she does something called the "Sunday Currently", which is basically just a list of things that are happening in your life at the moment. And I've decided to do one myself, because it seems like a really good idea to give you guys an update on my life in a fun way. Anyway, let's go...

< < C U R R E N T L Y > > 

Reading: "One Of Us Is Lying" by Karen McManus. I only started it yesterday though, so I can't really give you an opinion of it. But it seems promising. It's basically a murder mystery set in a high school... me like.

Writing: My WIP, which I PROMISE I am going to write a post about soon. When I have time. And when I have more that 4000 words written. (#WorldsSlowestWriter) And when I actually freaking figure out what exactly my book is going to be ABOUT. *goes off into corner and cries*

Listening: to "Lonely Together" by Rita Ora. I LOVE THAT SONG SO MUCH RIGHT NOW OMG. It's my current favourite. I don't even know why. IT JUST IS. I LOVE IT.

Thinking: TOO MUCH ABOUT STUFF. Urgh there is so much to think about. I've been going to sixth form and college open days all this past week so I've been thinking about my future and what I want to study when I'm older and like... I'm tired, okay?

Smelling: Umm... nothing right now?

Wishing: That my exams next year go fine, and that when I start at a new school or college I'll be happy there. My school experiences haven't been great so far, but I'm pretty confident everything will be fine.

Hoping: That I get everything on my Christmas wish list lmao. Though I don't mind not getting that many presents if it means that we'll have enough money for next summer to go on a really cool trip round Europe. So also hoping that we'll have enough money for that.

Wearing: My favourite grey hoodie and tracksuit bottoms. Comfort over style is like my personal motto.

 Loving: Is it okay if I say my cat?? Because I wuv my kitty so much. I also spend 50% of the time loving my new writing project. (I spend the other 50% thinking it's utter crap.)

 Wanting: A new phone case, 'cause the one I've got now is literally falling apart, I'm serious.

Needing: MORE TIME TO DO STUFF. WHY DOES TIME GO SO QUICKLY. Like how is it already November?? Madness. I also need more time to work on my writing project, it's like I barely have any free time. (And whenever I'm free I never seem to feel like writing?? Why.)

Feeling: Right now? Tired, lol. And I have a sore throat, so a bit annoyed about that. I've been feeling quite excited at the prospect of starting a sixth form; going to open days makes it feel a lot more real, something that is going to happen soon, rather than something that will happen at some point in the far future... does that make sense?

 Clicking: Around the blogger homepage as I check my pageview stats.


Anyway, that's it from me for today! Just one other thing; I want to write a sort of question-and-answer post - a lot of bloggers are doing it, all of a sudden, and it seems like a good idea. So send me Qs down in the comments! Ask me anything - about my writing, reading, favourites, likes and dislikes, my life in general; anything you ever wanted to know about me! Obviously nothing too personal that I might not want to answer, but apart from that, ask whatever you want! There's no deadline, though I'll probably be writing the Q&A post next weekend, so try and get the Qs in by then. Can't wait to hear from you all!

Catch you later,

< < A n d r e a > >

    Whopps, I'm late for the Q&A question submissions LOLOL XD I think I have definitely maybe seen One Of Us Is Lying during my occasional trips to the bookstore, so I did a quick Google search just now and it looks interesting! It definitely gives me some We Were Liars (by E. Lockhart) vibes. Will remember to pick that book up when I see it >:D

    Also, I wish you the very best with your future academic plans! Yeah, making decisions about college and similar matters are very stressful. Definitely would NOT want to go through that again lol, but once you figure out at least a vague idea of what you want, it'll definitely feel great to finally be able to take steps towards a goal :D Sending you my best wishes ❤

      Haha, it's okay! One Of Us Is Lying was a really great book, I loved it! You should definitely pick it up if you can. :D

      Thank you very much! Yeah, it is quite stressful, but I already know more or less what I want to study for the next couple of years, so it's all right I guess... There's just so many decisions you have to make, it's hard to know if you're making the right ones! But I'm sure everything will be fine. :)

    Your name is so pretty!!!!
    And arg I'm sorry I didn't comment the questions in time!!! I could have supplied about a million that would have made probably zero sense and less dollars. (gee I'm so funny) (oh hush you know I am)
    but anyway, I LOVE THIS POST! I might have to start doing some Sunday Currently posts myself!

"You Can't Change The Past": A short story

You can't change the past. It's the only thought in my mind as I sit alone in my room. It spins around and around in my head, obliterating every single other thought. You can't change the past. You can't change the past. I wish I could, though. I wish it with all my might. I wish I could step through a portal and appear, say, a year into my past. I could grab hold of myself at that time and explain what would happen, and how easily I could avoid so much grief and heartache. Just a decision. Just by making a single decision differently my life could change completely. I laugh bitterly. That sort of thing only happens in sci-fi movies. In real life we're forced to live with the consequences of our actions. No time travel. No easy way out. I've made so many mistakes. So many. I didn't know they were mistakes at the time - I thought I was doing the right thing, always. But I see now how terribly misguided I was. If only I'd had someone to make me see...

Indigo's Monthly Writing Challenge: September

This is actually going to be a thing I'm so excited!!! Hey, remember the idea I wrote about yesterday in this post?  Well, a few people said they were interested so I've decided to make it into something official. Welcome to Indigo's Monthly Writing Challenge! (I'll probably give it a snappier title later on...) The idea: at the start of every month, I come up with a theme, such as "music", "friendship", "pets", "summer". And whoever wants to participate has until the end of the month to write a short story on the theme I've chosen. Here are the rules! THE RULES: - Anyone can participate! - There aren't really any rules about what you can write, so long as it has something to do with the theme (that's the whole point of this challenge, after all). I only ask that you keep it clean (i.e. no bad swearing or any content that's unsuitable for kids, you get the idea). - You can write as much or as little ...

Really Random Post - life updates, YouTube shoutouts + WIP snippets!

*jumps into view* HEY GUYS! So. It's been a while. I mean, not a huge while?? Just like... three weeks? Ok so that's a pretty big while. BUT. Hey, I'm here now,  aren't I!! I'm back!! Isn't this exciting!! Anyways, I do  have an excuse for having dropped off the blogging radar for some time, or rather, I have several excuses. These are:                           1. I have my first GCSE exams coming up in just over a week (A WEEK?!) so I've been reeeallly busy revising and finishing everything off and just basically stressing. (I mean, I'm not that stressed? But I do have LOADS I still have to revise before my exams.) Which means I have very little free time to come up with blog posts and even less time to actually WRITE the darn things. (No but seriously, how come blog posts can't just write themselves?? It would make everything so much easier.)               ...
