I was going to try and come up with a snarky title, but I decided not to. I know it's been two years since I've been here, at least that's when my last journal entry was dated. Since then, I've been on Tumblr posting my stories and whatnot, but it's just been recent that I've stopped. Not only did I not have the time, but I also didn't have anyone reading anything, so it was kind of pointless. I thought about bringing things here, but I haven't decided yet.

The past couple of years have been pretty bad for me and my family. We've lost animals and almost commited suicide, lost jobs and gotten deathly ill, and most recently my great grandmother passed away. I could go into specifics but I doubt anybody wants that. We're just trying to get by at the moment. 

In better news, I've found some new fandoms that I'm interested in as well as some ideas for a book that I might eventually write.

I know this is all over the place, but I honestly just wanted to let everyone know that I'm sort of alive.

Hey, I know it's been a while since I've done a journal but I figured this would be a good time to explain my last status post.

Yesterday was an all around bad day for me. First, I went to the college to get my ID badge and my books. Made my badge then went to get my books, but my name and number was wrong on my badge as well as the fact that I didn't have any financial aid to get the books. Headed back over to the other building to fix my badge, then headed to a building farther down to another building where I had to wait to see someone about the money situation. Finally get called into an office only to find out that I needed to fill some paperwork out to get my financial aid and that I wouldn't have enough time to make for the first day of classes. Sure, I could pay all or 20% but it had to be at that exact moment. If I was in need of financial aid then how would I be able to pay that?

After that, we headed over to get my eyes checked to see if a tumor, found behind my eye a couple of years ago, was getting any bigger and if there needed to be surgery. When we got there, they said that I needed an appointment so we had to make it for Thursday.

What really bothered me was that I felt I was finally going to finish my AA and be able to move on to something higher. Not just that, but the fact that the school was planning a trip to go to Orlando for three or four days where they would be at a hotel on site, fast passes, passes for the Wizarding World and a night for Halloween Horror Nights. The last two are things I've wanted to do for forever and I would have been able to afford going. The other trip planned is one I can in no way afford is to Italy and Greece, two places I've always wanted to go. They will be gone 14 days.

So yeah... yesterday was rough

I've been thinking about do some Avenger drawings (like I did of Callista and Tom) and putting them on a shirt since this way I can't get caught for plagiarism or whatnot... would anyone still buy it if it looked like that? Maybe with my username on the bottom or back

Hi all, Rennerston here with some important information

1) Dat ass!!!

Ok, sorry, but really, I plan on having some things posted on here before Saturday, since mom is coming that day.

I have two winners who are owed a story and one who has earned a pic since they played my game and guessed correctly. Thank you, all four of you, who participated. It means a lot that you tried.

So first one I'll be posting is a Bucky x Reader which was asked by Pennet

Second and third that I'll be posting is for Shenanigans4321 who wanted a Clint x Reader and a pic for the Avengers

Fourth is going to be about Loki, Tom Hiddleston, and Taylor Swift which Death-Dealer123 gave me some help. This one will be for mature audiences as there will be gore.

So, as you can see, there are a few things coming up. 

I'll be keeping my game up until Saturday as well for anyone who would like to participate.

Game Time with Prizes!!! (CLOSED)I've never really done a game on here or anything, not like MomoPoms :P
Here's what I've come up with: this game is going to be about my favorite movies, but just 10 of them. 
Rules
1) You can guess as many times as you want, but you will only get one prize
2) The first one I see that has a correct answer will get a prize
3) You can list a franchise if the movie is in a series
4) I will count it right even if it is a remake
5) Marvel is not included in this
6) I will list clues next to a number so it is a bit easier
7) I will update this journal when someone gets an answer right
Prizes
You get a choice of either a picture or a one-shot
The one-shot is going to be a reader-insert, but if you want the main character to have any specifics then let me know. Also, you get to choose which movie/ game you want it from, but only if it is something I am comfortable with writing in. If it isn't, I'll let you choose again.
The picture with be a photo

Personal Shit

Ok, so apparently gram might be going in the hospital tomorrow since they can't seem to find out what is wrong with her. 

She came in to the living room with me and sat down, telling me about it as well as telling me how much of a disappointment I am. "I've been trying to get you to get a job and get you to help me around the house but you never do. You aren't ready to go out in the world."

Look, I get that, and I get that some of it is my fault, but not all of it. Anytime I even mention that I want to help out she says sure, but then never tells me when she's doing anything so I can help out. I guess I'm supposed to be a mind reader so I know when she wants my help. 

And the job situation, I wanted to try something that I could do from home and when I tell her she just says that I'm wasting my time. 

Thanks for the confidence, like I didn't feel like shit already
