life, the universe, and everything!


I'm a nerd, a college student, a writer, and a hopeless romantic. I'm an English major and a Harry Potter fanatic. I'm obsessed with the Beatles and think Bella Swan is pathetic. I'm a runner too, but a lot of people don't seem to know that an artsy nerd and an athlete can inhabit the same body. But that's the beauty of life....nothing is ever as it seems :)

Ask away!

Submit, damn it!

Those aren’t books. You can’t hold a computer in your hand like you can a book. A computer does not smell. There are two perfumes to a book. If a book is new, it smells great. If a book is old, it smells even better. It smells like ancient Egypt. A book has got to smell. You have to hold it in your hands and pray to it. You put it in your pocket and you walk with it. And it stays with you forever. But the computer doesn’t do that for you. I’m sorry.
