Thoughtful Ramblings at 4 a.m.
“Stop!” I scream, but all I hear is a whisper. I can feel my arteries pumping blood around my body, constantly working to keep me alive. Each beat is heavy, but the rhythm is quick. Can one’s entire body throb? It’s like I’ve been running, but really I’ve just been lying here, thinking. I desperately want to sleep, but it will not come. My only option is to wait.
My mind is full of undesired...

mind fucking and metaphors
I think I finally understand what Ralph meant when he said there is no such thing as metaphor …at least not for the artist. My head’s fucked up. It’s filled with thoughts that don’t make sense and situations that don’t exist. I was thinking the other day about how much I daydream.
“Is this normal? Should I be daydreaming this much? I wonder how much of my actual time is spent daydreaming? I...
Mathias Lauridsen, fuck eye candy, he's like eye...
Sooooo Danielle reminded me of how amazingly good looking Mathias Lauridsen is. I can’t believe she saw him in person! WTF. I think I might have died or fainted or something. He’s seriously sooo gorgous. Way to go Denmark!
Waking Up in Vegas
Las Vegas amazed me tonight. Having grown up here, it’s easy to forget how special this city really is. It’s like a Disneyland for adults, and I say this because: 1. There is an awe factor to the city. It’s like nothing most people have experienced before with its flashing lights and themed towers, not to mention the rides and shows and endless attractions. 2. You never know who you’ll run...

A question I had after reading Sense and...
I’m confused by Elinor’s dismissal of some previous negativity with which she regarded Willoughby. Is greed a more honorable inhibitor of love than indifference? I can understand that with the former, she believes him to have suffered a sufficient amount, but at the same time, isn’t that all the more reason to dislike him? He willingly disregarded his love rather than naturally...
the wandering mind (another post from a long time...
I sit here. Just sit here. For the longest time. “Screaming everybody wake up, wake up, it’s time to get… Every body wake up, wake up, it’s time to get down.” But that’s not my voice. It’s the voice from the book beside me. A modern notebook, that is. We’re too advanced for books nowadays. I sit. I stare. I feel. My left foot hurts. Wounded on the...
more sonnets and poetry in general
I actually wrote this post a long time ago in a different blog. However, my sentiments remain the same.
other favorite Shakespeare sonnets: 17, 90, 148, 10, 40, 46, 55, 65, 145 I’m not tired right now. If I could, I would read every poem ever written by Shakespeare in this moment. And I desperately wish I could write like him. If I ever discovered someone who could, I know I’d be...
My favorite sonnet
When I took theatre freshman year of hs, I chose this sonnet to memorize and perform. I’m not sure if performing it made it my favorite or if I performed it because it was my favorite. Anyways, here it is.

My dad
has taken a liking to 98.5 KLUC. So now when we ride in his truck, I get to hear him sing “Single Ladies” and “Meet Me Halfway.” It’s funny too because he really only knows a small portion of the lyrics, so he mumbles most of it and says the words that rhyme at the end of each line. It’s almost like listening to that kid play “I’m Yours” on...

Six-Part Series Premieres Mon, Dec. 8, at 10 p.m. ET/PT
Halfway through this century, 75 percent of the global population will live in cities. The citizens of these sprawling, ever-growing metropolises will burn through resources like food, water and energy at a rate far outpacing that of people living in nonurban areas. Such mass consumption will result in a very large...

My favorite passage from FYS readings
‘I love you.’ For a start, we’d better put these words on a high shelf; in a square box behind glass which we have to break with our elbow; in the bank. We shouldn’t leave them lying around the house like a tube of vitamin C. If the words come too easily to hand, we’ll use them without thought; we won’t be able to resist. Oh, we say we won’t, but we will....
I think I should be
less objective. Must work on that.
…I wrote this post a few days ago, and I’m thinking that there still exists a flaw in my line of thinking. The flaw is this: Telling myself that I need to be less objective is in itself an objective opinion. Thus, by doing so, I am not as much increasing the subjectivity of my thoughts and behaviors, but rather, appealing to my overarching...
I have a friend
and she writes amazing music. And I can’t say who, and I can’t post her songs, because I promised her I wouldn’t. And this kind of makes me sad because she’s sooooo good …she just isn’t that confident. Sometimes I feel like if only she knew how much her music touches me and how much I love listening to her, it might convince her to believe in herself and her...
