Look, guys, a tag! And not only that, a Star Wars tag. This, I think, will be fun. Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Kenzie tagged me for this. So THANK YOU SO MUCH, KENZIE. THIS WAS A TON OF FUN. (It was also really, really hard. By the way.) First, the rules. … Continue reading The Great and Glorious STAR WARS CHARACTER TAG
Well, hello there, good citizens of the blogosphere. It has been a while. Nor do I have any good excuses. Just...summer? I've been taking a math class, working a little, and...living life. Mostly living life. Takes a ridiculous amount of time and energy. I have about a billion posts I've been wanting to write, and … Continue reading Female Character Types I’d Be Happy to Never Encounter Again
you know how sometimes people write sentences with no capital letters and the bare minimum of punctuation and then hit "enter" at seemingly random places throughout the sentence? yes well some people would call it poetry others would call it laziness combined with slightly too much of an effort to be hip i don't know … Continue reading note [1, on humans]
When it’s been, like, two weeks and you’d really like to post and you have oh-so-many grand ideas but oh-so-little time in which to write them, reading updates are your best friends. In that spirit, I present briefly to you the books I read this spring. And opinions thereon. “Briefly,” by the way, is a … Continue reading A Brief History of Spring 2019 (in books)
-There is a lot of corn. Though I think I expected more. -Like, show me a Midwestern state that doesn't have an overabundance of cornfields, and I'll show you whole herds of flying pigs. -I think, maybe, I expected this to be a whole new level. Like, OH MY GOSH THERE ARE SO MANY CORNFIELDS … Continue reading Thoughts While Driving Across a Very Flat State With Many Cornfields
Horrifying title, no? Don't worry. The only really horrifying thing about the matter is my own shortsightedness, and even then (being inclined to lenience towards myself, as most of us are) I'd say "horrifying" borders on the exaggerative. Also, this post is a highly hypothetical bit of semi-philosophical rambling, not a tragic tale of a … Continue reading Life Without Books
Hurrah for spring! And hurrah for being tagged for the altogether delightful Spring Cleaning Tag by the altogether delightful… I don’t know her name? To be a Shennachie is her blog’s name; I assume her name is not Tobeashennachie any more than mine is Sixtysomethingtrees. (And…I assume she’s female? Oh my goodness, I know nothing.) … Continue reading Spring Cleaning Tag
Life, my friends, is not always easy or fun. Sometimes it is downright hard and unpleasant. There is not much one can do about it, since life is a big, wide, beyond-our-control sort of animal. But life, fortunately, also has many cracks and crevices, into which small, nearby, happy things tend to squeeze themselves. Things … Continue reading A Little Word Appreciation
It’s been raining all day. Steady sheets of grey rain have been slanting through the just-above-freezing air, rendering most of my fellow students wet and cold and miserable. It is not, after all, the height of pleasure to scurry from class to class, slightly damper each time, wishing you’d worn your boots and brought your … Continue reading Lovely Blog Party // Favorite Fictional Couples
Happy Valentine’s Day, folks! In honor of this special day of love and chocolate and stressed couples overspending because of expectations having not much to do with actual love but fostered nonetheless by the commercial entities that profit from them,* I propose to talk about romance! Specifically, how much I don’t like it, because my … Continue reading Is This a Kissing Book?
