I've recently started to get back in touch with my eggheaded, literary roots, inspired in part by my wonderful, wonderful English Professor; the lovely Literary Omnivore herself, whom you should definitely check out at her blog, The Literary Omnivore; and by the grace of Stephen Fry's awesomeness. I decided, like AJ Jacobs, I should create a ( Read more... )

Occasionally, one loses track of the things he or she loves, for whatever reason. Because of this, the moment of rediscovery is made all the sweeter ( Read more... )

It's a silly one, sort of, but nevertheless:

Air raid sirens scare the shit out of me.

I don't really have a reason to. The first time I ever heard one was in the Doctor Who episode 'The Empty Child', because it's set during the Blitz in London. I adore most of that episode (Hot guys? Check. Innuendo? Double Check! Excellent Scary Moffat-y goodness ( Read more... )

I feel a little like Chester A. Bum when I say this, but OH MY GOD I HAD THE BEST WEEKEND EVER YOU GUISE.

I'M GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME. FUCK YEAH.

So I awoke unwillingly- I stayed up until 1 talking to a BOY (more about that later, maybe), so I was dead tired. I eventually dragged my butt out of bed and over to Presser Hall for my Music 106 (Music Appreciationish ( Read more... )

Stolen, from nemesishamartia:

1. Do You want To Know A Secret?- The Beatles
2. Baby, It's You- Patti Smith
3. Malleus Maleficarum ( Read more... )

I know, I know, this is a recycled title, but I don't care, because a) that song is so AWESOME! and b) it's very apt.

Well, I know I've been remiss in my blogging, but I've been mostly focusing on scrambling around with my head cut off, freaking out about college. I've even branched out into freaking out about it on Youtube (forgive my shameless ( Read more... )

My friends, it has been too long since I've written my last entry. And lots and lots of thing have happened since the end of the musical...

About two weeks before graduation, I finally got off my dead ass and obtained my driver's license, so that meant I was actually able do stupid things, like accelerate from zero to 60 on a residential street, and ( Read more... )

I'm terribly sorry about not writing! I've been so busy... but here are some thoughts:
This past week has simply been the week from Hell. We've been rehearsing for the Grady high school musical (I hate how trivial that phrase has become) Cabaret, by Kander and Ebb, the guys who brought you Chicago, Curtains and Kiss of the Spider Woman. Playing a ( Read more... )

I've been accepted into my number one school, American University. By email, no less! It hasn't really sunk in yet (my average realization period is about two or three weeks), and it probably won't until the actual admission packet arrives in the mail. My heart is bursting with happiness and gratitude, though; there is no greater confidence-booster ( Read more... )
