I took this photo today because I needed a new photo for my new “about me” page. I used this photo as a placeholder, because I always use it as an icon for various sites and have always loved the look. I was really close to just leaving it as the picture for the page, but I thought against it. It’s my about me page, so the picture should be…
“I don’t know where people got the idea that characters in books are supposed to be likable. Books are not in the business of creating merely likable characters with whom you can have some simple identification. Books are in the business of creating great stories that make your brain go all like ahhbdgbdmerhbergurhbudgerbudbaaah.” ― John Green I’m just coming off one of my most emotional reads since TFiOS—The Darkest Minds series…
“Love—Eros—makes his home in men’s hearts, but not in every heart, for where there is hardness he departs. His greatest glory is that he cannot do wrong nor allow it; force never comes near him. For all men serve him of their own free will. And he whom Love touches not walks in darkness.” – Plato
I’ve been a bit down lately. I never know exactly why, I just go with it until it blows over. And it almost always does, only to come back the next month. I’m starting to think it may be hormonal. But regardless. It always has me thinking of all the things I haven’t yet done. I suppose, when you feel down, you feel down. You start to think of all…
Hi. So, for the last week I’ve been working on a website for a new music artist that my cousin is now working with. Normally, I work on these types of sites until my brain is spewing code in its sleep and I’m driven completely stir crazy. Naturally, all those things happened. And in one of my many periods of annoyances, I said mostly to myself (though I did mention…
So, today I complained to my mother about how I’m bored and need a new hobby. I like hobbies. They are little things that I can do every-so-often that are creatively stimulating or challenging in some way as to keep my brain occupied for a bit. Like art journaling or photography or that one time I taught myself how to crochet. I like discovering new things that I end up…
Hi. If you’ve noticed, I changed the layout of my site again. Why? I don’t know. I never know. Most of the time, I just feel like changing it. Do I ever need a reason for doing anything? This brings up the funny subject of making decisions. I’m horrible at making up my mind, especially for certain things over others. Like, I never know what I want to eat and…
“You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don’t get over it because “it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart…
I’ve always liked looking up at the moon. Yet, for a while, I did take it for granted. When you’re a kid, you learn about the moon and the solar system and all the planets, but that’s pretty much it. You know that they exist and after that, you never really think about them ever again (unless of course, some really smart people say Pluto isn’t a planet anymore; then…
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (2013)ISBN: 9780525426004 I finished this book awhile ago. Like, I ordered it from Barnes & Noble and it arrived the same day (a Thursday I believe) and I spent a few hours on Friday just reading the whole thing. I didn’t blog about it right away because there were so many feels that I couldn’t even think straight about it. I still can’t think straight…
“No one can legislate love; it cannot be given orders or cajoled into service. Love belongs to itself, deaf to pleading and unmoved by violence. Love is not something you can negotiate. Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason to resist temptation.” – Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body
It’s safe to assume that everyone has heard of the Titanic. Whether the actual ship or the 1997 James Cameron movie based on the historical events of the ship’s ill-fated maiden voyage, everyone knows about it, especially with all the media hype it garnered last April due to the centennial of the ship’s sinking. My question though is why all the hype? I understand the 1997 movie plays a huge part it our collective cultural obsession with…
