The Asexuality Chronicles, Part 2
The other 2 stories I wanted to post.
This Distorted Saccharine Dream
In my junior year, I wrote a poem for honors English called “This Distorted Saccharine Dream.” I wanted to call it “This Distorted Saccharine Nightmare,” but I thought that was a bit over-the-top. The poem was about the rather surreal and completely unpleasant experience of being ( Read more... ) -
The Asexuality Chronicles, Part I
Holy shit! I finally have time to breathe. I've been spending the past few days studying obsessively, specifically spending 15 hours a day studying Korean. Why am I studying Korean so intensively? Because when I signed up for Korean 111, my space cadet advisor neglected to mention that Korean 111 is the second half of a year-long course. So when I ( Read more... ) -
Damn you Emilie Autumn for kicking so much ass
Ah, Emilie, why do you inspire me so much that I have to churn out a song about my own instability in under 40 minutes?
We are the ones nobody wants
We are the ones the demon haunts.
The demon stalks these sterilized hallways
And each of us fears he’ll kill us always.
Kill me slowly, one piece at a time
Torment my thoughts ‘til I can’t even rhyme.

Sleepy Hollow Statistics
I watched Sleepy Hollow today. I'd always wondered exactly how many people were beheaded in that movie, and there are plenty of other things that repeatedly happen in the movie: non-decapitation deaths, Ichabod getting squirted in the face with blood, Ichabod fainting, and people using the phrase "Pardon my intrusion." And there were a few other ( Read more... ) -
Fandom Obsession Quiz
I'm obsessed with Sweeney Todd. There are probably "How fandom-obsessed are you?" quizzes out there, but I haven't taken or even seen any, so I created one. And I took it. This quiz is based on my obsession-motivated behavior and the obsession-motivated behavior of several people I know. I actually didn't score as high as I thought!

Sweeney Todd Tropes
Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street is my current obsession, and as such I’ve visited the TV Tropes page for Sweeney Todd. The first time I saw it, I thought it left a lot to be desired. But recently the page was updated, and I have fewer corrections, few enough that I actually had time to write them out. Warning: this journal entry ( Read more... ) -
Dungeons and Dragons Character Backstory
I'm currently playing my first campaign of DnD. My character is named Rosalind, and I wrote a very extensive backstory for her. I thought I'd post it here.
Rosalind was born Leoran Tallow, the sixth of nine children in the Tallow family, in the small village of Two Pines, just on the Sondris side of the Sondris/Monavia border. Two Pines was once ( Read more... ) -
Dashing Through the Snow
On Christmas Eve, my 8-year-old brother and I started singing the "broken skis" parody version of Dashing Through the Snow. We ended up writing several of our own parodies. Enjoy! Oh, and DON'T JUDGE US. Again, this was written by an 8-year-old with my help. And there is no limit to cheesiness around the holiday season.
Dashing through the snow
On a ( Read more... )
