The Return of Christian (and smoothies) 

______________________________________


I didn't believe in horoscopes that much until I read mine this week. It said, "an Aries will tend to start something with great passion, but is then easily distracted and will move on to something else." This basically sums up my experience with blogging. 

THIS SHALL CHANGE, THOUGH! I'll actually start writing and posting this year... it's my November resolution (whoever said resolutions are for January was a major dweeb). With college applications coming to a close and Cross Country season ending....TIS THE SEASON OF THE INTERNET. The best time to buy boatloads of German chocolate and watch British Youtubers and read blogs every day after school.

But anywho....

Here are some pictures from 7 months ago describing how to make a super healthy strawberry-banana smoothie. Nom. Nom. Nom. (If I can make this anyone can....however I didn't exactly "finish it"... you'll see).

STEP ONE: Select your strawberries and cut them up.



STEP TWO: Put the strawberries in a blender/blender like object.


STEP THREE: Select your bananas (they should be frozen).


STEP FOUR: Chop them up and toss them in with the strawberries.


STEP FIVE: Get some super fly almond milk.



STEP SIX: You can guess. Pour in enough almond milk to reach halfway on the fruit.


STEP SEVEN: Blend and serve!


OR FAIL JUST LIKE ME LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL no not funny.

STEP EIGHT: Serve with whatever dignity you have left.


WOAH IT'S LIKE TOTALLY A SMOOTHIE!

Until next time.

My First Blog/25 Facts About Me

My First Blog/25 Facts About Me

______________________________________




Well, hello blogging world! This actually very scary...knowing that people actually could read my random thoughts on this crazy internet place. I'm sure I'll never become a blogging superstar, but I've decided to use this little space of the internet simply as an outlet for my weirdness anyway. So to kick this thing off, I figured we'd have a little party.


This party has been started.

And so now, without further ado, (I know the suspense has been killing you, now hasn't it?), here are 

25 Facts About Me:


1. I've been a blog/YouTube creeper for almost 4 years now. I spend about 3-4 hours a day watching and reading about my favorite internet people. 

2. Going off of fact number one, my dream is to one day become a YouTuber. (I'm just still a bit too shy in front of the camera as of right now...)

3. Ironically, my favorite place to be is behind the camera. I hope to become a cinematographer.
This is my "oh snap I need to fix my F-Stop" face. 


4. I am sixteen years old at the moment. (Seventeen in less than a month!)

5. I've been swimming year-round competitively since I was 8, but I started swimming summer league when I was 6.

6. I have an older brother who absolutely crushes me in swimming (he made it to Olympic Trials....I mean really.....I made it to summer league championships...)

7. I have three pets whom I love dearly. My dogs Layla & Lolly the labs (hello alliteration!) and Edie, my cat. mycatismybestfriend WAIT WHAT!? 


My little angel kitty Edie. (She's actually super fat)


8. I love my parents to pieces even though they make me eat healthy all the time. (duhwfuhewu a girl just needs her pizza sometimes.)

9. I was a dancer for thirteen years, and this is my first year not dancing.

10. This is, however, my first year running cross country. (Oh the pain.)

11. I am an ocean lifeguard at my favorite place in the whole world, an island in New Jersey where my grandparents live.


12. I spill almost everything that can be spilled.

13. I slept with a Bob Marley banana stuffed animal for 2 years straight, up until I left it at a hotel at a Model UN competition. (If anybody who has seen it is reading this...please bring home Ricky the banana.)

14. I could rant for days on how contradictory the term "hipster" is.

15. My favorite classes in school are Newspaper, English, and Digitial Media. (I hate math.)

16. I just completely forgot what I was going to write for #16. GARGHHH

17. I don't understand why girls are so mean. It makes me sad when people aren't nice.

18. If I could change one thing about my body, it would be adding a mermaid tail. 

19. I feel like my brain never stops thinking. I think about the oddest things.

20. I'm a little obsessed with Scandinavia (AKA basically Denmark and Norway) I've been to Denmark once, and I'm traveling to Norway this summer with one of my best friends Kaja.
My first adventure to the gorgeous land of Denmark.


21. Although I tend to strongly dislike pop music, my obsession with One Direction is the exception. And I've met them. 
PLEASE IGNORE MY FACE.

22. My role models are James Franco, Julian Smith, Heath Ledger (besides the drugs), Zoey Sugg (aka Zoella), Steve Jobs, and my parents.

23. Memories of my childhood are sometimes a bit blurred because I've somehow mixed my childhood dreams and actual events together, so sometimes what I think happened never actually did. (Weird, I know.)
Wittle Christian dawh!


24. I'm super awkward and sometimes shy when you first meet me, but once you've cracked my shell I will never shut up. 

25. Whenever I notice something I do that's weird, I tell myself to write it down in case I ever do something involving "Facts About Me"...but I never do....so I just completely winged/wung/wang this! (I don't know what the correct word is but I'm too lazy to open a new tab.)

If anybody actually read all of this, I'm not only shocked that you've actually cared enough to read it all the way through but also thankful that you read it in the first place! Expect more posts to come. This is actually pretty fun...
