Nonfiction. Have an assignment due Tuesday night (and I SWEAR we did this assignment already, but…I’ll do it again just to humor her.)
Women, Gender, Sexuality in the Classical World…SO tempted to drop this one. I HATE online...
comicallyvariant asked: girl. girl. GIRL. I've never seen the movie so I can't actually attest to this first-hand, but apparently you know the bridge in PS I Love You? I'VE BEEN THERE. YEAH. It's a few hours outside of Dublin and someday I am taking you.
One of those moments when I feel like an absolute...
I wore my favorite, favorite, favorite skirt ever today (You know. The white one with gold brocade? That one.) and now I’m horribly sad because today’s over.

So remember when I told you to...
I got the results. And I still don’t know if they’re good or not. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted but after a night of pouting in bed and falling asleep angry, I realized that I’m still getting a fantastic opportunity.
I found out about two weeks ago about a new magazine called Potentia. It’s about gender, power, and art - everything I’ve been obsessed with and...

It’s a problem.

“When adults say, ‘Teenagers think they are invincible,’ with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don’t know how right they are.

All I want to do is re-read Looking for Alaska
And all four copies of mine are at home.
This is a massive problem. I’m tempted to go run out and buy yet another one to alleviate this problem.
