Amelia's Menagerie

hello there! hi, you, yes you, come on stop in for a minute! sorry for being absent for such a long time... i will try and be better about that, but no promises... see, i just started (just started meaning i started in august) community college, and while it is super  fun and awesome... it eats my time up. my priorities right now are as follows: 1. take care of myself on a day to day basis, as well as my animals 2. this is not less important per say, but just a bit less urgent, read my bible every day and go to  church every week. 3. turn schoolwork in on time with as good of a grade as i can muster. 4. keep cages clean 5. keep room clean that last one is getting a bit neglected... although  the other four are all doing pretty well, and all  have about equal priority. if you noticed,   keeping up with my blog and youtube channel  were not items on that list. that is on purpose. sorry for neglecting this, but keeping myself fe

If someone ever says they know themselves, truly and wholly, I would not believe them. I learn new things about myself everyday.

I made new friends, got a bit of a sunburnt face, and almost came home with a new rooster (which was living in the wild of the island), as I need a bantam one. We couldn't catch it, though, so...  no rooster. I discovered new twenty one pilots songs, one of which is right here, and you need to listen to it: Taxi Cab I have started playing the ukulele, and apparently I don't completely stink at it, because everyone always tells me to keep playing. I have a grand total of eight songs written, but most of them don't have actual music to go with them yet. I got to get back into fishing on this trip, and caught several needle fish, a yellow fin snapper, and some really pretty orange sea-bass looking fish. We didn't eat any because only one was barely big enough, and it was just too beautiful to kill. And I may just be a softie when it comes to killing animals... idk. My new friends are awesome, and may or m
