people don’t actually get to know me. they get to know the idea of me.
painter.
i’m bothered by people that feel they are more cultured because of the art they create. your photographs are average, friend, but i would never say it to your face. i’m bothered by your disregard and lack of understanding the difference between a photographer and an artist; the latter you clearly are not. pick up a manual, shut yourself in a dark room, put your hands in the warm...

i have 3 dots hand tattoo’d on my ankle from 10th grade that says we’re supposed to be friends forever. i’ll tell my kids about all of us. they’ll think i’m entirely too awesome to be their mom, and they will be right.

put it away.
i don’t know who i am anymore.
i very seriously feel like i’ve lost myself, somewhere, lost it years ago. but for whatever reason, i’ve been faking it. i’m still cold. nothing’s changed. i still lose myself in books, performing escapism at every opportunity. i still hold my breath until i see spots in the bathtub. i still cry for no reason. i still want to be alone.

Day 10 - Favourite classic book
Brave New World, easily. Huxley was so beyond his era, it astounds me.
“When the individual feels, the community reels.”
“Gays in the military … here’s how I feel about it, alright? Anyone … DUMB enough...”

why bother?
there has been this undercurrent of people making weak attempts at being someone that they clearly are not. if i have learned only one thing in this past year is that you cannot let anyone stand in your way of being who you are, be it family, friends, or boyfriends/girlfriends. i don’t mention enemies because they never matter; they are the darkness in a world that should be otherwise filled...

Day 09 - A book you thought you wouldn’t like but...
So many. I have such high expectations for books, I feel like I easily lose interest.
Zen & Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Pretty much everything by Herman Hesse. one day I’ll figure out he’s just amazing
and the Black Dagger Series.
speaking of which, had the best dream ever regarding that book. a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

Day 08 - Most overrated book
A Million Little Pieces (of Shit). WORST BOOK EVER and no one will be able to convince me otherwise. I read this amidst my drug craze and even then it was absolutely awful. no amount of anything (except for fire) could make this book better & I always lose a little respect for friends that have read and enjoyed this book. I can’t help it. It’s a shallow, vapid black hole of...
Day 07 - Most underrated book
Yikes. Most underrated. I actually have to take a moment and think about this…
Okay, okay, I must admit, I almost put Steppenwolf, but I realize I might just be the only person that feels that book is underrated. Its underrated for my generation. But, anyway, the most underrated book I have come across is probably (take a deep breath and ready yourself for this name):
Noisy Outlaws,...
Day 06 - A book that makes you sad
Hm…There aren’t a ton of books that make me sad. The Perks of Being a Wallflower was depressing. Obviously Deathly Hallows had me needing rehydration due do tear duct overflow.
For the sake of variety, I’ll go with The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Oh, wait, The Black Dagger Brotherhood; Lover Awakened was actually pretty sad. Why did Wellsie have to die?! Anyway. Still going...

finals; slightly like being dead or dying.
facebook, tumblr, flickr, postsecret, stumbleupon, and all sites of the like are severely under-rated. people must understand how these things can save a starving, studious college student. when we cannot stand to leave our studies because we know we won’t come back to them if we move one foot away, these are the things that can clear our mind (temporarily) of stress.
also, this just kind...
Day 05 - A book that makes you happy
The book that makes me the happiest is Roverandom by J.R.R. Tolkien. It’s sentimental value is what makes me happiest. My dad gave it to me on my 9th birthday and told me to never stop dreaming. Considering he is my best friend and only hero, I took that statement pretty seriously and refuse to stop believing in what others deem “impossible”.
If you haven’t read this...
Watchhitrecordjoe:
Let’s be honest - the purchase of useless shit symbolizing our love and affection is sort of an odd custom. To give people cool art that means something to you and might mean something to them - I think that’s a cool gift.
The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories - this book certainly means something to me.
Pick it up here - makes a great stocking stuffer! :o)
let’s be honest:...
Day 04 - Favourite book of your favourite series
Deathly Hallows…by a long, long shot. I can’t help it.
