Bio
I'm a writer with big ideas, a city girl living in a strange wilderness, an angel with horns under my halo, just a typical indie young person with a blog. This is gonna be where I post most of the zany antics of college and whatever happens to be on my mind (hopefully they're intelligent to the normal reader).

I'm gonna talk about Erica....again.  But in this post, it's in a much lighter fashion that what I've previously put on my site.  I talk about her, glorifying all the shenanigans that we do that make us better people in life.......okay you got me, being together just makes us little shits… Read full post »

Academic Mush

This is what my brain has been reduced to.  A big pile of sludge from the gigantic load of academic writing and research.  It is especially problematique because I really want to get some creative writing done, specifically finishing up my second novel, and I have exhausted my mind to the… Read full post »

Papers, Careers and Barriers

As I near the end of my semester and my first year, the pile of papers and research are increasing.  I find myself being secluded in the green room for hours on end writing and studying more often than I'd like.  But I have to which is the unfortunate part.  Not… Read full post »

I'm a total music nerd.  My palette consists of mostly of rock and roll: alternative, classic, punk, Christian etc.  I'm starting to like alot of techno and dubstep as well as a small section for hip hop.  I'm a sucker for indie bands but not to the point where I'm a bonafied… Read full post »

This weekend was probably one of the best I've ever had, not just because it was my birthday weekend.  I turned the pointless age of nineteen this year and wanted to celebrate it with a bang due to the fact that no one cares about this age.  I also realized how… Read full post »

Spring Reign

So here's a little poem about the epic battle of Winter and Spring.  I got inspired by the wonderful weather I've been having up here.  I went for a walk in the forest and took notes about what I saw.  Hope you enjoy it.  Critiques are appreciated too

 

The equinox… Read full post »

Bearing the Wings of Solitude

Ever had that feeling where you just wanted people to leave you alone?  Ever had that friend who didn't?  Ever wanted to tell them so, but couldn't?  That's where I'm at right now.  And it isn't a good spot to be.

It's not that anything bad has happened that put me… Read full post »

The Thing About Pens

A pen seems like a silly thing to be attatched to.  Even I think it is at times where out of all of the items I own, I would put immense value on a pen.  But this is no ordinary pen......well, actually it is, but how I got it is a… Read full post »

It's crazy to think that even the littlest of things in our lives are taken for granted.  For me, it was seeing the sun almost every single day at home.  I live basically on an island, a place where sunshine is a must.  When I chose to go to college in… Read full post »

What to do on an 8 hour bus ride

Tonight I leave for home on a Premier coach bus which hopefully will pick up at the building that's right across the street from me.  I'd really appreciate it if the school didn't force me to trek across the snow and ice with a heavy duffel bag on my shoulder to… Read full post »

The Voices Spoken but Unheard

Bad news keeps on piling at the worst times in my life.  Since my last post, Erica has gotten much better and is starting to act like her old self.  But today, I found out some information first hand that things were not all that good.  According to my college's policy,… Read full post »

Erica is my first best friend in college.  She and I sometimes are the same person in our thoughts and actions.  We have countless inside "funnies," party together, study together, talk about life and K-pop music.  If I didn't find her up here, I would've been alone.  Yet for all… Read full post »

Dave Matthews and Me

Usual scene: I'm sitting in the blue lounge on the blue couch next to the door.  My laptop on my lap, feet on a chair, books to my left, papers to my right and Ipod playing some old fashioned Fall Out Boy.  But then my good friend Mike comes in, with… Read full post »
