Welcome Back!

      Dear Readers,

       It has been 4 years, 11 months, and 17 days since I have last posted an entry on this blog. I would like to welcome back my new readers. Though, most of all I wish to say a grand hello to any new readers stumbling upon this page. If you are considering whether to join me on the retelling of the past few years or not, I can promise you it will lack any boredom you may be expecting. without further ado, I present the missing time.

        Fame of the River February 2017,  

        In the heart of a small town, in the upper peninsula of Michigan exists a two story fixer upper. In this dwelling resides my family of ten (depending on the year). Some windows are missing the outer screen, and the floor might be a little lower in certain parts. Sufficient to say it was (and currently is) in need of some TLC. Never the less, work is still to this day put into it. 

        About two miles away from the grand abode sits a small school atop a hill. Via this school I received my last year of education and my claim to fame. Fame? you might ask, quite puzzled. Yes, the year of 2017 was the peak of my YouTube career. Though I had but 20 followers when beginning my graduating year, news traveled fast. My personality was different than anything they had seen. To them I had the spontaneity of the rich, and was a bit too perky. 

      There were days in the learning year when I would do things most would not dare. Such as:

Standing over a garbage can as I stuffed seaweed snacks into my mouth while people cheered

Dancing in the middle of the hallways

Singing opera in the cafeteria

Dressing in gold curtains as I told my friend Garry that we were married in the future

Promposing to Garry with a parody of "marry me'- Bruno mars" with a painted sign and half the school watching and recording me

Getting my promposal rejected and doing it to several other people. 

       All in all, it was very entertaining. I ended the year with only 99 subscribers on my YouTube channel. I would continue on with my description of chaos, but it would be extremely lengthy. 

      Fame of the Ship June 2019,

      Granny Franny decided one day that her following granddaughters would join her on a cruise to Mexico: Ella and Lili (my sister's) Bess (my cousin) and ME (the star of this story) Being the lover of any grand adventure (accept hiking) I was floored to know I would be going on my first plane ride of my life. Let's do ourselves the favor and skip over all dramatics on the flight regarding my severe ear pain. 

      For those of you not familiar with cruise ship activities, you most likely know that there is a large amount of karaoke. I happen to love singing to the masses in a cringeworthy matter. So it is no surprise that first night I was in the lounge with my cousin and entering stage right to sing a song we thought we knew. The song we thought we were singing: Fabulous from Highschool musical 2. The song we sang: Fabulous- Charlie Gracie. If you are familiar with these songs you will know they are EXTREMELY different. So, with no knowledge of music theory whatsoever I made the decision to push forward and still sing. It went over surprisingly well. Though I was bad at singing it, people cheered and applauded. 

       Every night for the following days we were on the ship people asked what I was singing each night. Another thing that made them excited was when I did the "Abby shuffle" which is like extreme dabbing. I took selfies with strangers, danced for people and ate a TON. There were nights of karaoke where the lounge was packed with only room to stand all so people could see ME perform. Even, the morning announcements mentioned me BY NAME to tell people to come see me at karaoke! It was EPIC!!!

      I quit my job at a restaurant called the "Beef-a-Roo" and moved downstate to live with my Granny where I got a job hosting at Red Lobster.

I am sitting in a coffee shop as I wright this post so my sister can see this blog revamped. So cheers to Lili who has been with me through all of it (except when I was living with Granny)
