Pottery Painting day

Today I went this a friend to a pottery painting cafe. It was wonderful and I got a ham and cheese croissant. 

This is my completed painting! Stay tuned for about 10 days for the finished product. 

Who is Mothman?

Mothman is a cryptid from West Virginia. Now what is a cryptid? Cryptids are mordern folklore usually consisting of monsters and supernatural experiences. Other popular crytpids are Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. 

Now back to Mothman. Mothman, as depicted above, is a 6-7ft black winged creature that vaguely is in the shape of a man, with red glowing eyes. There are is variations to how his appearance is described when it becomes more detailed than this but most agree with the general description.

Mothman was first spotted in Point Pleasant, West Virginia by four people. They were exploring the nearby abandoned dynamite storage bunkers when they spotted Mothman. They then fled when he reportedly took off in flight. The two couples made it to their car where Mothman then followed them, hovering behind their car. The couples eventually saw Mothman fly off. 

Afterwards they immediately went to the Sheriff's station and reported their sighting. They were of course, skeptical, and interviewed each person separately. Apparently each person had similar enough stories that a check was sent but the police could find no evidence of the Mothman.

 

The Mothman sighting didn't stop there. Over the next few weeks, several people in and around Point Pleasant reported seeing a similar creature. Things came to a head when people who has witnessed Mothman reported that they had been having dreams including the Silver bridge and christmas presents floating in the water. 

On December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed killing 46 people. Those who had these visions said that it looked exactly like it did in their dreams. People blamed the Mothman for the sudden collapse, as it was not immediately obvious why the bridge collapsed. The report finding the cause took three years to complete. 

Throughout the years there have been several people who have claimed to see the Mothman, including someone who claimed the Mothman tried to steal her child. As these stories gained traction other folk on the east coast also claimed to see the Mothman, however, the most documented sighting all exist near West Virginia. 

Now Point Pleasant has embraced the Mothman as has a festival for him every September. They even have a musuem fully documenting the incidents involving him and the Silver Bridge. They also have a collection of the various movies and documentaries featuring the Mothman.  

Pictures shown above are from my trip to Point Pleasant and the articles are shown in their musuem. Thats also why they suck lol. 

Cake Cookies

So in honor of not wanting to forget things here is the recipe I make for all my friends birthdays. I haven't made it in a while due to not having access to a good oven and I had to look up the recipe. This is unacceptable. So since I get to make them again for for the first time lets store this recipe here! And just like a true recipe blog post you have to get through my life story to get to the recipe haha!

So its a very simple recipe with 3ish ingredients. You'll need:

• 1/2 of a cup of vegetable oil

• 2 eggs

• 1 cake mix of your choosing

• (Optional) sugar

You'll start by preheating the over to 350. Then in a large bowl, mix the oil, cake mix, and eggs together till a dough is formed. 

Once you've done that you have the option of rolling the cookies lightly in sugar. I prefer it this way, especially for chocolate cookies but its whatever you prefer. 

Then roll the dough into small balls and give them space to spread out. I never understood the make the cookies so many inches but the recipe says 1/2 inch balls if that makes sense to yall. 

Cook the cookies for about 6-10min depending on your preference and oven. After let the cookies rest on the tray for about 5min to rest before transferring them to a cooling tray or whatever you have. The cookies are going to be fragile before they rest and may seem undercooked. This is where we ✨️trust the process✨️

This made me about 19 cookies but as you can see I was NOT uniform in size.

Hope yall enjoy and if anyone makes them let me know how you like it. Now to deliver these to my friend!

A Blog by the Inexperienced

So! I've never had a blog beyond a tumblr before and to be honest I don't talk much on there. However! I have been having terrible memory and coordination issues so what better way to practice writing consistently and placing my thoughts and memories somewhere? 

That being said I have no clue what I'm doing so enjoy my journey trying to do basic skills very very badly.
