So, I deleted my Facebook....AGAIN. I know, I know, I have a Facebook deactivation problem. But, I think this time I really am going to stay off. You may think I have some serious issues (and perhaps I do), but I just get tired of it. Hopefully I am not the only who has wanted…
My Originality Conflict
My book list is constantly growing. In fact, it is ridiculous. I am constantly scribbling down books professors suggest or ramble off during class, as well as things I come across in my reading for my english classes, blog book reviews, and my own avid curiosity to find good reads. But then I read something today…
Historical shenanigans
For the past few weeks I have been following the updates from the Richard III Society about what is now called the Grey Friar's dig in Leicester which is now under a car parking lot. My freshmen english research paper was on King Richard III and his part in the mystery of the princes in…

Just for kicks…
My dad once said that being bored is a state of mind (or something along those lines). In any case, I could never say "I am bored." It usually was followed by a chore, to help ease my boredom. So, now when I'm bored I do things like this.... ; So yeah, boredom can be…
Undeserved Kindness
"A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve." Joseph Joubert So, today Mason and I went to Texas Roadhouse to have our usual meal. We had just gotten home, so we were coming back to house with no food and no motivation to get groceries... therefore, Roadhouse was calling our names.…
My spew with Walmart
A while back I announced to my facebook friends and family that I would no longer shop at Walmart. Many people kind of thought I was just being silly or it was a phase, but I truly did mean it when I said I wanted to boycott them. While Walmart has tried to make up…
