God. I've been gone one hell of a long time. And it wasn't intentional; at all. Really. I've just had one wicked slump in inspiration and I've not quite been able to conquer it.Sure, bits and pieces of stories are kind of okay? But it's not really helping much. I'm getting partial ideas; I have been since I last updated. It's never anything with substance, so its hard to... work with?On the other...

I spent all of my summer working; six day weeks on top of a promotion are almost guaranteed to burn you out. And by god did they ever. I'm pretty sure I've spent most of my time not at work sleeping because it had worn me down so much.This did not amuse one of my very good friends because he'd seen me maybe twice all summer. So he suggested I take a few days off and go with him to stay at his...

I've had a long month; so honestly I haven't been able to take much time to discover new stories on here, so, to get back in the swing of things and get some feedback on my new one-shot, I'm offering a comment swap.Now, before we start, a few quick rules.1. You comment first. I promise I will get back to you, it may take me a few hours or sometime tomorrow morning, but I will do it.2. Preferably...

It's baaaack. Because thinking back on it I clearly forgot a fair amount of my favorites and I feel awful. Like this guy:Vincent Price was my first Old Hollywood crush. He was in all of my favorite Halloween movies, he had that voice you couldn't get out of your head no matter how hard you tried because it was so eerily unforgettable, and he topped out at over six feet tall. I like my dudes tall,...

Everyone keeps doing these most attractive men posts and I'm sitting here wondering just what the hell is wrong with me because everyone I see in these posts is alive (with the exception of that guy from Avenged Sevenfold) and I'm just over here like oh hey, old hollywood. Y'all are dead. But y'all are some hot-ass dead dudes. So without further wait; Normandy's favorite (mostly men and mostly...

So, my best friend conked out on me about two hours ago. I love her, but holy hell am I bored. So you know what I did?I started making paper cranes. It's a developed habit I've had for a few years; when bored or stressed whip out the origami paper and plaster the damn house with little multicolored paper birds.Except instead of just sitting them on a shelf, today I had an idea.Why not hide them...

I haven't done one of these, and honestly I feel like I should. There are just so many wonderful stories on here; and I'd like to shove some of my favorites in your face while screaming LOOOOOOOOK.So, guess what? Here we go.StoriesPorcelain by pallid Not every romance ends well; and not every couple is perfect and functional. That's what makes this so great.The Nightbook by archipelago....

I stayed at my best friend's house last night, while she's out of town visiting her boyfriend in Georgia. She let me because I'm honestly petrified of the idea of going home.My mom is walking out on my dad today. I don't know what to do. I honestly don't. I feel like she's walking out on me, too, even though she's going to be only fifteen minutes away. And I can't fully blame her; their marriage...

I'm pretty sure that's one of my all-time favorite news article titles. Like seriously, how often do you see something like that and it actually be real.This dude apparently was fishing and he went to take a picture of this beaver he found. Well, the beaver was camera shy or camera rabid and got pissed and bit the man in the thigh. In doing so it severed an artery and he died of blood-loss. Like...

After five years of working at my current job I got cussed out for the first time today. And to be quite frank it wasn't even for something that was my fault.You can't read the sales tags and tell me you're in a rush, therefore I try to hurry and get you checked out so you can make your bus? Not my problem.This woman walked in and the first thing she says to me is "The Devil is trying to use my...

Steubenville, Ohio rape trial.CNN displays pity for the rapists once they are sentenced.I'm sorry, what?You're actually telling me that these boys who sexually assaulted an unconscious girl, documented it on all forms of social media, and did nothing to help her deserve sympathy? You're telling me that it's horrible that their lives are ruined because of their "promising football careers" are shot...

"Go kill yourself."Or any variant of the above statement.There is absolutely no reason that this phrase should ever pass from you to someone else.Oh, do they have a different opinion from you? Still not acceptable.Are they of a sexual orientation you don't agree with? Nope, not an excuse either.Different religious persuasion? Doesn't work.They may have pissed you off, sure, but that does not give...

Have you noticed how male and female characters garner different responses for similar traits/actions? Have you noticed how its a bit skewed and sometimes misogynistic? Lets take a look:Sarcastic male character- oh he's so witty and charming!Sarcastic female character- why is she so bitchy?Emotional male character- hes so in touch with his feelings.Emotional female character- god why is she so...

Seriously. The internet at my house has been out for two weeks. I can deal with it okay; it's just proving a bit difficult when it comes to...updates. I'm almost finished with the next chapter of Summer Shadows but it's not like I can easily update that from my phone, so yeah.I apologize. Here and now. I'll try to get it updated next time I'm over at a friend's house, but for now I'm kind of stuck...

Like really bored.And fairly irritated.Honestly I consider this a fairly useless holiday. So there's a part of me that doesn't mind working. But at the same time I'm not exactly pleased. I'm here on a holiday, at the least, as customers, people could try to be considerate, hell, just be pleasant. Yet bitchy and rude they are, acting as though they have a right to be. That I don't quite get. I'm...

So I like messing with things, and stuff, and just junk in general. That includes provoking people, conversations, objects, ect. Whatever catches my eye. Because sometimes it invokes chaos. And chaos is absolutely fun; sorry, but it is. At least, it give me a rush, and I'm good at it.So, when one of my friends' mentioned pulling out an Ouija board the other night to communicate with whatever is in...

It's normal to be stupidly sick of your job and your inconsiderate boss; so forgive me while I moan about it for a very brief moment. I know, I should be grateful to have a job and I totally am. What I'm not grateful for is my boss's awful scheduling ability that gives me nine Sunday shifts straight, five Friday nights in a row, not to mention five Saturday shifts. Generally I wouldn't care about...

A few years ago my (ex)boyfriend took me to see 500 Days of Summer and initially I loved it. The character of Tom would do anything for Summer--the new girl at his job who was strange and quirky, and just all around charming yet he could never seem to cement into a relationship, and when he finally manage to pressure her into it, well, it sunk faster than the Titanic and all of his adoration...

No one can deny that for the most part Ms. Swift is in fact, the golden child of the U.S. She's blonde haired, blue eyed, a Christian, she's sweet to her fans, she writes songs to help sick children that can totally bring you to tears. She is Taylor Swift and the world be damned if she isn't just a freaking doll.Or at least, she comes off that way on the surface. Dig a little deeper; take a look...

Errmahgerd. Netflix.Errmagerd. Labrynth. Where have you been my entire life? Like holy crap. I've always heard rumors of how good it was; I've always heard I needed to watch it. I don't even have words to describe my fascination with Jareth and David Bowie's performance. I've already added it to my Amazon wish list. I'll be ordering it Friday. I feel like it's a crime not to have that movie. It's...
