you learn something new everyday

It's probably just a filter to make sure you're not a follow bot or something, or that the site literally just can't keep up. ("too fast for ya? you're out!")

also, i do not know why i look like a very old man, besides the fact that i feel like a very old man.
i'm even playing solitaire.
with actual cards.
i'm going a little nuts, but my parents are trying to cut down on our computer time once again ;-;
except…
theres always construction outside (not to mention it was 102 degrees Fahrenheit, or almost 39 degrees Celsius the other day), we like legit can't get along when we play board games (with my little siblings, that is, me and zoe are just fine), and like… we can't really go out much because my mom hurt her leg, my dad is busy, and it's generally unnecessarily pricy.
so, it kind of sucks, but luckily i like BOOKS.
and i have books to read.
my mom recommended the "uglies" series by scott westerfeld and i'm enjoying it so far (halfway through the second book)
also, i (sort of) accidentally am two-timing books, cause i'm also reading another one my mom recommended me to read (quite a few times actually, i've been putting it off) which is "six of crows" by leigh bardugo.
