We're children, not sheep.
I have this friend that has no idea what to do with her life, I think we all have a few of those, but the thing is she’s brilliant. I don’t mean she does calculus for fun or she’s an expert on the french revolution because she’s not, but as a person she’s brilliant.
America’s education system isn’t set up for people like her. We’re taught like...

Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order...
1) My Turtles. Tiff, Jel, Shan. I realize this encompasses three people instead of just one, but what’s the point of being young if you don’t bend the rules. You guys were my first real friends, the people I went to the mall with and took pictures in the bathroom mirror and hung around hot topic, we had sleep overs with ice cream sundaes. Even though we’re getting older and...
Good Sir!
You hath discovered your treasure, dearest Sonya, all that lies ahead of you is in the link below!

Day Five: Six things you wish you'd never done
1) Quit wrestling. I tried out a lot of activities when I was young, wrestling was my fourth grade thing. I ended up quitting because it seemed pointless to go to practice twice a week but never compete for real (girls could wrestle against boys at practices but it had to be girl vs. girl at competitions, ipso facto, I had no one to wrestle with). But in hindsight I wish I would have stayed in it,...

Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot
1) I worry that my friends, family, and people whose presence I value in my life have suddenly died. I tend not to tell people how bad this is, they’d probably throw me in counseling if they knew the extent of it. Ever newspaper article, ever statistic, every secondhand story worsens my fear. The fear that I will lose someone important, that something that existed before would suddenly cease to...

Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart
1) Don’t take life too seriously. Be silly and playful and ridiculous, pretend to play house in a furniture store, have fun with life.
2) Be the shoulder that I rest my head on while watching a movie.
3) Understand that I have problems that I’m still learning to deal with and sometimes I fart like trucker and like me anyway.
4) If you’re a virgin, be proud of it, because...

It's none of your fucking business.
I’ve been such a good kid, such an excellent daughter, you know how many opportunities to do things I know you wouldn’t approve of? Do you know what I could have done these months that I’ve been in college? I could drink, I could get high, I could go to parties and raves and hook up with people I don’t know. I could flunk out of all my classes, I could waste your money, I...

Day Two: Nine things about yourself
1) I’m a freshman in college studying interior design.
2) I’m an aquarius. (traits include: eccentric and unpredictable, curious and experimental, a love of debate, generous and bad with money, tactless and rebellious)
3) I’ve been mistaken for a boy more times than I care to count.
4) I’m in the process of writing a novel, but I’ve been a bit busy with getting an...
What if we're the normal ones?
People like us, we’re complicated. Sometimes we’re dull, numb and empty inside like the walking dead, and sometimes we feel so much it’s a wonder we don’t burst at the seams and stain the wallpaper. And there’s so many of us, we’re everywhere and everyone. We know who we are, do you?
I’m thinking you don’t, and it’s funny in a way. We can see...

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten...
1) When I wake up in the middle of the night I check my phone for texts from you and hope that no news is good news.
2) Sometimes I think this is a very unhealthy friendship.
3) I didn’t want you to drink that night because I don’t want you to be just another college cliche.
4) Even though we’re friends, part of me is still wary of you based solely on the fact that...

Christmas Loot
In order of unwrapping:
1) Sonic Screwdriver (11th Doctor’s, currently sitting on the desk next to me)
2) A roll of duct tape (Because duct tape fixes everything, and everything breaks in college)
3) Aloe infused socks (Which my poor feet are in desperate need of)
4) The DVD of Syfy’s Alice miniseries (So I can share the awesome with my friends and show them why I want to be a set...
If you need someone to spam your dash with gifs of Matt Smith’s random dancing, I’m here. If you need someone to respond to your every text, I’m here. If you need access to arsenic, a wood chipper and a friend who is excellent at cleaning up blood stains, I’m here. If you need me, I’m here.

The Double Life of a College Student, Part 3
It’s the evening before Christmas Eve (Christmas Eve eve evening?) I’m back at home being precollegeCourt again, but in a way I’m not. Sure, I’m spending a lot more time hanging about on tumblr, I’m catching up on my Youtube supscriptions, I’m making some headway in the writing of my novel; basically I’m back to living in front of my computer screen....

I wrote a poem.
I wrote this in about five minutes, so excuse any grammatical errors. It might not make a lot of sense if you haven’t read/been told the general plot of my story, but I hope you appreciate it anyway.
His mind is an attic
He live under the eaves
Spiders and cobwebs
They are his friends
Her eyes were hazel
Teeming with truth
His eyes were as blue
As his own broken heart
Lately he’s been...

Carpe diem and never look back.
I lost a follower and I have no idea why that bothers me. I mean, I never really expected to have any more than the number of real life people I know who also have Tumblr. Maybe it’s because my Tumblr is changing, fuck, I’m changing. I mean yeah, I’m still a shameless Whovian, I live by the words DFTBA and I’m still hoping my letter from Hogwarts is eight years late (though...

The Double Life of a College Student, Part 2
I’m an art major, granted I’m not shaping a piece of reclaimed sheet metal into a metaphor for society, but still, I’m an art major. I’d like to think of myself as one of the more practical artists, a designer actually, I’ve just started a class that implores the difference between the two. Engineers make things, artists make pretty, designers make pretty things. My...

The Double Life of a College Student, Part 1
It’s the beginning of winter quarter here in the land of bricks and dicks; it’s been snowing like a blizzard and I in no way enjoy walking roughly half a mile to class in said weather, but you know what, it’s fine. Yesterday was a good day; two of my three classes were canceled (possibly because of the snow), I sat around and had some tea with a good friend of mine...

"Indie Cred"
About a year ago, me and my good friend Sonny both discovered Florence + the Machine almost simultaneously. Her sound was different; it was haunting, bluesy, alive, sexy, and the most brilliant thing we had ever heard. At that point not a lot of people had heard of her, Dog Days Are Over was just the song in the background of the Eat Pray Love commercial, the average Joe on the street had no idea...
