So, I figured that the way I'll set up these "update" blogs is giving three major topics and briefly mentioning some minor topics at the beginning of the blog. The title of the blog will be these three topics. I'll do these weekly updates whenever three major events happen in my life, most likely bi-weekly or weekly. Anyway, here are some minor events that have happened since my introduction post!

-My chronic nail biting came and hit me in the face again. Now my nails are stumps once more and I have to paint them to get myself to stop.
-I have a severe case of writer's block and just stared at my story for about an hour.
-I added more to my vintage magazine collection! Now the dates for them range from 1925 to 1967.
-My school Christmas concert is next Friday.

Now, onto the three main points, all bolded for your convenience.

Driving
Well, to be fair, I'm not driving YET, but next week, my dad comes home from his two weeks of working out of town. Not only does it mean that my mother will become a human being and not a demon again, but it means that I'll be taking my test to get my learner's permit. Our only driver's license center is in an old, nearly abandoned mall, and I'm pretty sure that the center and the J.C. Penney is the only business that mall gets. In Pennsylvania, the permit test is 18 questions, and you can ger a 15/18 to pass. I'll be taking the test Wednesday or Thursday, most likely.
However, I feel that here in America, teenage drivers are shunned...or at least the careful ones are. I personally got nervous driving a golf cart, so I'm sure that I'll be a careful driver once I get my license. I just hope that I don't have cranky, middle-aged men getting frustrated with my driving skills. I don't think my heart could take that much pressure lol.

Drawing
I'm going to be completely honest with y'all, I hate drawing. I get myself worked up when something doesn't work out, I sulk over it, I lay in bed and sob, rinse and repeat. However, since I've been having a lot of breakdowns and freakouts lately, I figured that I should start drawing again. Even if I don't particularly enjoy drawing, it takes my mind off of a lot of other things, such as school and my mom. Plus, I can express my emotions through drawings and not worry about offending people or having them get deleted. Since my mood hasn't been any better lately, I figured that drawing could at least help it a little.
I was also thinking that I would try opening a thread here on TBT. Since everybody apparently despises my drawings, no one ever really cared, even when I was giving it away for free. I'm skeptical about opening an art thread, though, especially since I don't have good relations with people here and I'm not good at drawing. I'm horrified of getting criticized, which is the reason I started hating art in the first place.

A Long Distance Relationship
Well, I don't exactly know if I'm in a relationship, either, but it could be more than possible. Last night, I was talking to one of my friends that lives in Texas. Being at a low, I was throwing a fit for no reason, and then he said it. He said that he loved me. I didn't really think anything of it, and I considered that it was just him trying to calm me down. But...I can't stop thinking about it today. I don't know what he meant, but what if he loves me in a romantic way more than a friendly? My mom doesn't even know that I know him. Would I be able to manage a long distance relationship?
Because I'm an ugly person and have as much personality as a pile of dirt, I never even thought that I'd last with guys. But this friend of mine is seriously a good person, which I never thought I'd meet. I'm probably overthinking this and he didn't mean that type of love, but still. I'm someone who would be willing to do anything for love, even if it is long distance. With the power of video chat and me being almost 18, if it is a relationship, I'm convinced that it'll work.
 
As your friend and as someone who has been in a romantic relationship for almost 3 years now, I am very excited to hear that you are striving for certain ambitions in life and that there is a man out there that potentially has that kind of feelings for you! :D Since it is someone you have not personally met, I definitely would tread with caution if I were you because I don't want my friend getting hurt by some stranger. When it comes to your art, you should give it a try and be confident in your skill! If anyone is going to criticize your work, they are most likely going to give you constructive feedback which is only aimed towards improving your skills, not to tear you down! ;)
