I was woken up at 5:57 this morning, not 6:00, 5:57.

Today I went to the movies with one of the strongest women I know, my mom, to watch Wonder Woman. It was weird that she wanted to see a superhero movie, but not that she wanted to see a woman kick some butt. The movie did not disappoint, it told the story of the amazon … Continue reading Wonder Woman
WOW! Things have changed from 2012, including my writing. These are my memories, just like I wrote them in 2012.
