Good morning, Cyberspace!
It has come to my attention that sometime during the past week, I have miraculously accumulated 100 followers.
And this is both extremely terrifying and slightly cool.
Extremely terrifying because there are 100 insane weirdos who thought, “Hey! This blog is pretty cool! I shall hit the follow button and STALK THEM FOR ETERNITY.”
Slightly cool because there are 100 insane weirdos who thought, “Hey!” This blog is pretty cool! I shall hit the follow button and STALK THEM FOR ETERNITY.”
And I cannot thank you enough for hitting that follow button.
All 101 of you. (OOH! I shall call you the Dalmatians!!! [if anyone else hits that follow button and ruins this beautiful thing that has spontaneously occurred, I shall come after you with a pitchfork and a slab of concrete.])
And so, in honor of all you fluffy Dalmatians, I have decided to do something a little bit different today–as is the custom of this delightful blog. Instead of the normal rant-tastic post, I’m gonna do a little bit of a trivia thingy, in which I sporadically divulge information about myself that you probably never would have guessed just by reading my blog posts and feeding me your leftover cookies.
And if you would have guessed these random facts, you are obviously a stalker, which in that case I must say–
–WELCOME TO INSANITY, SIR!!! Have a cookie. There’s plenty for everyone, after all.
And besides the fact that I am a complete raving lunatic pterodactyl hatchling , I’m sure there are some things you probably wondered about whilst browsing and stalking my dear little corner of Cyberspace.
What does go on behind the strange and rather absurdness of this blog?
What do I enjoy doing when I’m not ranting about cookies and stabby utensils on the internet?
How do I survive in the complex and sometimes terrifying swirling vortex of insanity?
Well, now, don’t fret any longer over these sleep-depriving questions, dear bean, for I am here to answer all of the things you never asked.
And so, without further ado, I would like to present to you–
Nineteen Facts You Never Knew About Me…
Fact One– I never wear matching socks. Ever.
Now–as usual–I know exactly what you’re thinking.
“But Kenzie,” you say. “This really isn’t all that random! I mismatch my socks all the time!”
Ah, that you might, little bean. But have you been so severely depressed because all you could find in your sock drawer were matching pairs of socks that you ripped practically every sock out of the drawer in an effort to find one that didn’t?
No? I didn’t think so.
(And if you have, then CONGRATULATIONS! We are probably distantly related. I shall randomly show up on your doorstep so that we can display our mismatching socks to the world and eat cookies.)
Fact Two– I carry a tiny pink notebook with me everywhere, because #IDEAS…
Actually, there was a short period of time when I didn’t carry my little notebook around, because I had it upstairs and I just kept forgetting to put it in my pocket because BONUS FACT! my brain is actually a marshmellow, but eh.
Let’s just say I carry it around all the time because THAT SOUNDS COOLER.
And as you can see, this poor little notebook is in terrible condition, because I’ve dropped it and gotten it wet and sat on it for about 312 years, so of course it looks all wrinkly and old, but IT IS MINE, PRECIOUS!
Fact Three– The name for Smudged Thoughts was actually a group effort…
Tis true! I cannot take full credit for the wonderfully adorable name of Smudged Thoughts! And I’ll tell you why–
Once Upon A Time, I was sitting at the computer, trying to think up a clever name for a blog. I had a list of all of my favorite words, such as ‘ink’, ‘blot’, ‘splat’, ‘quill’, etc. in front of me, and I was trying to come up with names that incorporated those words.
Now, while this was all going on, my mom happened to be sitting beside me, and we were bouncing fun words and blog name ideas around. Somehow, the word ‘Smudge’ got brought up (I can’t exactly remember how??? [my brain is a marshmallow, remember?]) and my mom had the brilliant idea of Smudged Thoughts!
The name instantly clicked, and thus, Smudged Thoughts was born.
I’m not exactly sure why I started calling the posts ‘Smudges’ instead of ‘Thoughts’, though. You’d think I’d call it a thought, since a blog post is basically just someone’s thought splatted out onto a page, but no. I am never logical.
And so, in conclusion, to all of you who think I’m creative and clever or whatever, I must laugh in your face and give you a resounding “NO”. The name of Smudged Thoughts is not mine alone to claim. It is the work of two very strange minds clinking together to form one blog name that is both adorable and fun, and honestly one of my favorite names ever.
The End.
Fact Four– My favorite movie is…
LEGO BATMAN!!!!
…
I bet you were not expecting that.
To be honest, for the longest time my absolute favorite movie EVER was the Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland, but then Lego Batman came out, and just…
Lego Batman.
LEGO. BATMAN.
Fact Five– I have a very bizarre and rather irrational fear of washing cheese graters…
It’s like trying to shave your skin off in the name of being clean. And then the cheese just melts and glops in the corners and you have to stuff your hand down into the center and just no.
No.
Fact Six– I have an ongoing love/hate relationship with cocktail sauce…
My taste-buds consistently refuse to decide on whether they like it, or think it’s one of the grossest tangy glop substances to ever come in contact with my tongue bumps.
It’s a real struggle, guys.
Fact Seven– My favorite dessert is…
Alright. This one is probably going to surprise some people, so I shall have to ask you to prepare yourself. Brace your brainy muscle. Take a couple deep, soul-satisfying breaths.
Perhaps you should sit down.
Alright. Assuming that you are properly prepped to hear this information, I can now tell you that my favorite dessert is…
…
Cheesecake.
*WORLD IMPLODES*
*children screaming*
*cookies fainting*
And right now you are probably spluttering at your screen, “BUT KENZIE!”
And that’s as far as you’ll get before screaming something unintelligible about cookies and how I have been lying to your face for the past not-even-a-year.
BUT IT IS TRUE.
My favorite dessert is cheesecake. More specifically, BOXED cheesecake from the Jell-O company.
Because homemade cheesecake tastes like burnt, obviously.
(But I still love cookies. It’s just easier to throw cookies everywhere than cheesecake? [less dirty dishes and broken faces, too])
Fact Eight– I have a strange obsession with clicky keyboards…
You know those keyboards at the library, where the keys sort of pop out about thirty feet up from the board???
Those keyboards have the most DELICIOUS SOUND EVER. I could listen to and type on those things all day…
Fact Nine– I do not currently have a bookshelf…
And now you’re all probably wondering what I do with my mountains of books. Wellllllll…
Fun right?
Fact Ten– Small notebooks are my latest writerly addiction…
I mean, just LOOK at these things! They’re pocket-sized, easily portable, and did I mention how GORGEOUS they are???
Don’t you just want to plop down beneath a tree and write for like five million years in one of these things? Or, you know, stroke their covers whilst making cooing sounds and sniffing the smol pages?
Fact Eleven– I write in obscure places…
It’s true. I like to squeeze myself into a tiny little corner and write for a while until my back starts to hurt from crunching into a smol ball, and then I sprawl out on the floor so that passersby must leap over me in their effort to resume their daily lives.
And other times I write on the middle cushion of our couch (which is a seriously uncomfortable seat???) and sometimes I write at the dining room table, and sometimes I write on the floor NEXT to the table, and sometimes I write out on the deck, and sometimes I write all hunched up on our stairway landing, squeezed in between a box full of video games and another set of stairs.
I’m still not sure how I fit in that tiny little hole, actually…
Fact Twelve– I play the violin…
Sort of.
Actually, I sound more like a squealing warthog when I play, but hey! I’m learning.
(she’s said for the past four years…)
Fact Thirteen– I am obsessed with Doctor Who…
And I cannot wait until I’m 19, because that’s how old Rose is when she meets the Doctor for the first time, so obviously that’s when I shall meet the Doctor.
#logic
Or, you know, maybe Gandalf will come find me when I’m 50. That seems more probable.
Fact Fourteen– When I was thirteen/maybe twelve? I…
…wrote a 515 page book that was pretty much a carbon copy of The Hunger Games, but with DRAGONS!
YEAH!
It was awful.
And I also think I’ve mentioned this before….
Moving on…
Fact Fifteen– I don’t do well on coffee…
And when I say coffee, I mean iced defroster thingies (or whatever they’re called) with whipped cream and all that salsa, because that is what I drink when I drink coffee. Not the hot stuff because #ew.
HOWEVER, the frosty caffeine does something weird inside my head–a spontaneous chemical reaction, no doubt–and I start to feel all buzzy and strange, and basically I feel (and probably act) sort of drunk because of all of the caffeine bursting through my veins.
It’s not a pretty sight. Next time I go to a coffee shop, I’m getting tea.
Duhn duhn DUHN!
Fact Sixteen– My favorite color…
…has changed sporadically over the years, and is still changing to this day.
First it was yellow, then it was purple, then it was yellow, then it was turquoise, then it was yellow and turquoise (but not together because #EWW), and now it is currently sea green, because that is the aesthetic of everlost, and I’ve just fallen eternally in love with it.
Fact Seventeen– I have a completely rational fear of accidentally stabbing someone with a steak knife when unloading the dishwasher…
Or, you know, slitting their throat…
…or carving out an integral organ…
Fact Eighteen– My favorite number is 19…
Don’t ask why. It’s just aesthetically pleasing to me.
#I’mnormal
(this, however, has absolutely nothing to do with how that shall be my age when I meet the Doctor)
Fact Nineteen– I honestly have no clue why so many people like this blog…
Whenever I read through the posts I write, I cringe at my stupid jokes and tyrannical ranting…
…and then the comments pour in about how hysterical I am.
It is a cosmic conundrum, folks.
WHY DO YOU ALL LIKE ME SO MUCH?
Am I just such a lovable bean that you have no choice but to adore me? Am I honestly funny? Does my stupidity make you feel better about your amazing self? Is Smudged Thoughts a black hole that sucks you in, whether you like it or not? Are you here just for the cookies??? (This is a perfectly acceptable reason.)
Whatever it is, I am so eternally grateful for all 101 of you who thought that this random blog was something worth following. I never in my wildest dreams expected to reach 100 (and one) followers before Smudged Thoughts was even a year old. It’s crazy…
But then again…so am I.
(and so are you because YOU FOLLOWED ME, MWAHAHAHAHA–HACK!)
~ Kenzie
P.S. There was supposed to be a new PictoPrompter on Sunday, but WHAT DO YOU KNOW??? I failed and never got it posted, because I’ve been super busy and blah blah blah excuses excuses, and so there shall be a new PictoPrompter NEXT month, on the third. (Because three is yet another aesthetically pleasing number, obviously.)
The End.
So! What did you think of these 19 random facts about me? Were they boring? Weird? Are you upset that I didn’t have a giant reveal about a mysterious sixth toe? Let us speak of all the things down in the comments below! And don’t forget to tell me what your favorite number, color, and favorite flavor of cookie is! Because COOOOOKIEEESSS.

Ha! I *hate* wearing mismatched socks with a passion. Like, it looks cool? But no. Never. Not for mwa, thank you. But the notebooks everywhere? I do that. And like you, I always forget to bring it with me. So, I compromised! Because mwa is brilliant, thank you very much.
I have a notebook next to my bed, three in my purse, one on my dresser, one on my school cart (just for creative writing), a whole cabinet full of empty ones, a whole drawer full of empty ones, one in the drawer under my section of the kitchen counter, and probably more that I’m just forgetting. And would you believe me that I don’t hand write my stories?
I just started the eighth season of Doctor Who! (I know, I’m so behind. Shhhh.) I’m so excited. I looooved the Robin Hood episode.
I actually don’t like cheesecake??? Like, I liked one. Once. It’s just…not me. But STRAWBERRIES! Give me strawberries and chocolate cake (just not together) and I might actually be quiet for once.
The Hunger Games…with dragons? It sounds interesting, but that could just be because of my dragon obsession. But let’s ignore that, shall we?
BTW, you should come to my house and try my mom’s keyboard. It is the *loudest* thing ever. But I also pound the keys so hard my family swears they’ll end up in Alaska someday, so??? Could just be me.
I totally know what you mean with the favorite color thing! Mine is usually purple, but it used to be magenta for ages (which is weird, because I don’t really like pink that much), but sometimes green, black, or blue. Usually purple or blue. Or orange. See??????
I just realized I am totally overusing question marks in this comment. ???????????????????????????????
Sorry.
Congrats on reaching a hundred followers! I just got a hundred followers on Pinterest last week, which was totally unexpected and very nice, and I got a 115, and then when I looked today it was back down to 114.
But that’s won’t happen to you, because your smudges are awesome. Also, can I request to be a fluffy puppy? Dalmatians aren’t really fluffy, and I like fluffy.

Oh my word, that is EXACTLY me! I’ve got notebooks flying out the wazoo, and I don’t really handwrite my stories either… BUT THEY ARE SO GORGEOUS AND NICE TO PET SO I COLLECT THEM WITH A PASSION. (but it sounds like you have A LOT more notebooks than me, so I am ALL THE JEALOUS, obviously!)
*whispers* I’m actually only on Season Five… I’m like a tiny curd of a Whovian right now, but I AM OBSESSED, so I don’t really mind being behind. Besides, I’VE GOT MORE EPISODES TO WATCH THAN ANYONE ELSE! YAY!!!! XD I don’t recall a Robin Hood episode, but it must be somewhere in the next few seasons, so EXCITED!!!
But alas! We shall never ignore the dragon obsession, for I, too, am obsessed. DRAGOOOONNNSSSS! *flails for nineteen years*
OH MY WORD, I WOULD LIKE THAT KEYBOARD, PLEASE!! I LOVE clicky keyboards… They are my FAVORITES! And Alaska has always been a place of intrigue for me, so that sounds wonderful, bahahahaha! XD
Oh, I know!!!! We are probably distantly related with our strange and slightly unnerving switch of favorite colors! Let us rejoice together with cookies!!! And oooooh! Blue is AMAZING! And I love orange! But not like ORANGE orange, but like the soft gentle blush of the setting sun. (if that makes any sense???)
Question marks are the BEST!!!!!! ?????????????
Awww, thank you so much!!!! I’m so excited! And OH MY WORD, that is FANTASTIC!!! Congratulations on 100 on Pinterest! Your boards must be EPIC!!! Oh no no no, that person was just so eager to hit the follow button that they accidentally spazzed out and hit it TWICE. Don’t worry, they’ll realize their mistake soon!!! Awww! YESSS!

The Hunger Games with dragons actually sounds pretty cool.
Cheesecake is tasty, and I sorta don’t consider cookies to be in the same category of desserts like cakes and pies and such. It’s more of a snack treat. But seeing cookies faint is quite hilarious.
My favorite color is…dependent on the context. Pink is good, greens of various sorts are good, I tend to gravitate towards blues…it goes all over the place.
I like your blog because you let all of your funny, random humor spew everywhere, and it’s such a nice break from the real world. I think your energy and bouncy enthusiasm has been very helpful for me to get back into writing.
I’m very glad I found your blog.

I’m not sure what my favorite cookies are, there’s always chocolate chip (or maybe white chocolate chip, if I’m lucky) and I like jammy thumbprint cookies too.
I think my favorite color is pink, but I can’t stand it if something big is completely pink. It only works as an accent color. I just need small bits of it EVERYWHERE! Otherwise, mint green is great.

~The Lego movie is AMAZING, but Lego Batman is THE BEST!!! And cheesecake is delicious and amazing and my SOUL MATE, and I shall love it for eternity!!!
~Clicky Keyboards=Writer’s Block Busters, libraries are THE BEST!!!, and OOH! You play the violin, too???? That is so cool!!! We shall play a make-believe duet. It shall be lovely. And also squeaky because I really do sound awful….
~My favorite Doctor probably has to be Ten, with 11 coming in a close second… But Ten made me SO MAD because ROOOSSEEEE. But I also really love 11, cause he’s so bizarre…I also really like River, and also Amy… And I loved Donna!
~I might try tea again… It shall definitely be documented if I do! (*coughfuturevlogcough*)

Hmmmmm… interesting about the cocktail sauce. I did pretty much the EXACT SAME THING but with Frank’s Hot Sauce??? I loved it and put it on EVERYTHING and then I got so sick of it that I couldn’t stand the sight of it and now it sounds absolutely delicious and wish I had some…
Clicky keyboards are nice!! Our public library has them and they are so much fun to search for books on… BUT I REALLY DESIRE TO HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED TYPEWRITER, MATE!!!
Wow!!! No wonder they are your obsession – those are quite lovely!!!
I don’t write in THAT obscure of places, alas! I write on my bed and lying on my stomach on the floor which is ouchie, and sometimes on the couch or at the table. We don’t really have stairs, otherwise that sounds like the PERFECT writerly nook!!!
That book sounds utterly fabulous! I’ve always thought The Hunger Games could use a few more dragons!
BAHAHAHAHAH!! Maybe you just have a lot of the caffeine chemical in your body naturally (which would explain why you are typically so energetic, even without caffeine) or maybe you get more than enough caffeine from chocolate or soda (if you eat/drink it) and then the caffeine from coffee is just… SURPLUS and your body can’t handle. Because what you’re describing sounds EXACTLY like someone who has had like 8 or 10 cups of coffee, not just one.
By the way, iced coffee is called a LATTE. Multiple siblings of mine have worked at fast food restaurants and they would get lattes and I would always demand to try it and see if I liked it. This was because they are topped with whipped cream and I wanted to eat it. Once I had, I would declare that I did NOT like the latte and someone else would drink it. Now I wonder if I would like lattes if I tried them now because I LOOOOOOOVE coffee ice cream and people who love coffee say that lattes and coffee-flavored ice cream taste NOTHING like coffee.
ALL THAT TO SAY……. I’m glad to find another writer who doesn’t adore coffee???? Because I can’t stand it and honestly I’m gonna try and FORCE myself to like something that isn’t very good for me anyway and according to everything I’ve heard, is weirdly addictive??? OF COURSE IT WOULD BE YOU THAT IS MY TWIN IN THIS!!!
Okay. I will try and wrap this up because WordPress is going to reject this comment if I get much longer.
You sound like my childhood best friend (probably why we get along so well, tbh!!) because she could never make up her mind what her favorite color was either.
Maybe you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?? I’ve heard that it’s just like that – afraid of knives and things because you could hurt people with them…
Nineteen is a lovely number and I totally understand why you like it!!
OH MY WORD KENZIE YOUR BLOG IS THE BEST AND YOU ARE THE FUNNIEST BEAN.

Awwwwwww!!! Thank you so much, Kate!!!!! And oh my word, bahahahaha!! That is hilarious!!!! 😂😂😂
I AM NEVER LAZY WHEN MISMATCHING! To wear matching socks would probably kill me, and I am too scared to test that theory… Also, I’m not sure where to find the tiny notebooks? I think this one came from Hobby Lobby or Meijer or some other boring place like that… I’m pretty sure my sister gave me this particular book… I’m sure you can find them on Amazon if all else fails… Maybe??? And I actually sometimes FORGET to write in my tiny notebook (OOPS), and also I write small, and then other times I fill in like three pages to make up for all the times I never wrote anything, so basically it is just the ETERNAL BOOK THAT NEVER DIES. Which is kind of lame because I want to trade it in for a newer model, but IT IS NOT DYING???
Aww, haha! Oh dear, but I think I’d be dead if I didn’t have her!!!
Oh my word, Frank’s Red Hot is another very strange substance!! I’m not sure if I like it or not… Hmm… I should test this.
I actually have a typewriter!!! They are SO much fun!!!! And oh my word, writing on your stomach really does hurt!!! I always have a back-ache thing after writing for extended periods of time like that!
Aww, why thank you! 😂
Actually, I don’t drink soda, and I’m trying to lay off the chocolate, so I really don’t know where all the energy comes from??? To be honest, I feel a lot more energetic now than I did when I DID drink soda…??? So maybe I’m just like one giant coffee bean???
But…but…the place I get coffee from calls them defrosters??? And oh my word that story is the best thing ever!!! The whipped cream is DEFINITELY the best part of the whole thing!!! *nods wisely* And I don’t think I’ve ever tried coffee flavor ice cream… I MUST TRY! UGH, EXACTLY!!! That is why I sort of gave up on tea, because I didnt want to force myself to drink something that I didn’t like, just because it was ‘writerly’ That is called peer pressure, and NO THANK YOU, SIR!
Awwwww!!! I take that as an extreme compliment!!! And I totally can relate to your friend because THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY COLORS???

Your writing isn’t nearly as dark and plotless and random and gross. But there is a certain creepiness… that you and Dekker have in common?? Maybe??
Anyway. What else was I going to say??
Um. EVEN IF YOU HATE HOUSE CAN YOU PLEASE NOT GIVE UP ON MY BELOVED TED DEKKER??? PLEASE??? Because he can be a complete genius if you read the right books and avoid the, ahem, terrifying ones. So like read the Circle trilogy or Blink or Kiss (Kiss is my personal favorite even though it sounds gross, but maybe you wouldn’t like it because it is slightly politic-y???) JUST READ THE CIRCLE TRILOGY IT IS BRILLIANT AND YOU WILL LOVE IT I PROMISE!! (also you are like the only one of my new bloggerly friends whom I have been able to recommend him to because he is MOST CERTAINLY not for everyone!! But I think you can handle the creepies. :D)

I am actually quite familiar with OCD, haha! I’m not sure if he inherited it from me, or just from my experience with witnessing similar behavior in the human race… I didn’t initially plan him to be OCD. Or odd. He just sort of…happened.

…..I sort of liked it? I think I’d give it a 3 and a half to 4 stars. I wasn’t too fond of the ending, so it kind of ruined it for me… A bad ending just makes the whole book seem slightly weird. But I LOVED the creepiness! In fact, I would have been okay with more creepy, to be honest…
I must read more Ted Dekker!! ESPECIALLY IF WE CAN FLAIL SOME MORE, EEK!!!!!
Eh. The Beginning of Blacklist was pretty good, but then it sort of went downhill… I would highly recommend Fringe!!!! WARNING!!! The very first episode opens up on a terrible scene, that honestly makes me cringe whenever I recommend the show to people. HOWEVER. The show itself is amazing and Walter is adorable and Olivia is awesome and Peter is hilarious and if you like science fiction and unexplained events I would HIGHLY recommend!!!
Oh! Oh!! I’m so glad!! And OH MY WORD his character arc continues to deepen???? This is joyous news!!!! There there. Don’t cry. I’m sure it can’t be THAT bad, right???

The only thing I like about cheese graters is that they’re used to do something with cheese…? And I love cheese? So… I guess that counts?

Okay, I’ve always wanted to be one of those people who carries an inspiration notebook around, but I ALWAYS LOSE THINGS!!! And I never have inspiration when I have a notebook around, so it just kinda sits in my purse that I never take anyway BECAUSE POCKETS PEOPLE!
OMGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tiny notebooks are my obsession. Literally. It’s so bad, that when I go shopping with my mom, I have to physically stay away from the notebook/office supplies section because I WILL BE BEGGING TO BUY LIKE FIVE LITTLE NOTEBOOKS THAT ARE ADORABLY CUTE AND CUDDLY AND JUST AGH!
The only problem is I never know what to write in them because I don’t want to mess them up. Like I just got a tiny little spiral notebook and I have no idea what to write in it, but it doesn’t matter because it can sit on my desk and look pretty. #problemsolved
That’s so awesome that you play the violin!!! I used to play, and believe me, anyone is better than I was lol. I actually still have my violin…. which I use to annoy my family with my squeaks and squeals.
To be honest, I don’t like the number 19 because of the number 9… it took me forever when I was little to grasp the concept of the number nine. Like if you add a single digit number to 9 (e.g. 7+9) the answer will be one less than seven but with a one in front of it…. I DONT KNOW I HATED NINE! My favorite number is probably 2. Or… Idk. I really like 3. I love perfect squares or whatever theyre called. I don’t math well, so.
People like your blog because you’re awesome. Period. And because I’m such a nice person I’m not adding anything else because I think you know you’re awesome and I don’t wanna inflate your ego.

Oh my word, that’s terrible yet kind of funny??? Like, the number nine is AMAZING, but I can totally understand why you would hate it? And I love the number 3 too! He’s so cute… I used to give all of the numbers personalities when I was little and learning math. 9 was the evil villain, 8 was her sidekick. 7 was sort of a popular dude/dope, I believe? 6 was in love with 5, but 5 preferred 7. 4 was a child, but he watched over 2 and 3, who were the twins, and 1 was a smaller child, I think?? And 0 was the baby. 9 used to steal the children, and it was up to 4 to get them back, and 8 always reversed her loyalties to 9, who used 1 and 0 to make the master villain, 10.
I was an interesting child…
