You can now comment on any of my posts.
I signed up for Disqus, which allows comments on any of my blog entries here on Tumblr. You have to go directly to the individual posts to make them, but it’s still a pretty neat add-on! Leave me reading material sometime? :)

youbonedmybones asked: I love you too! I would have gotten back to you sooner but I haven't had internet all day. How's the internet in N/S, btw? Everyone I know in Vander Poel is having issues.
I was very sad about the lack of class for the same reason. Are you going to the job training today? Do u wanna go to dunkin donuts before or after? =)

IT'S A SNOW DAY
Woke up at 6:15 because my phone vibrated. A text message informed me that the university is closed today and all classes are canceled.
First week of classes in the new semester, and I only have one? THANK YOU SNOW.

First day of classes
I worked for two hours, did a load of laundry, put a new chair up at my desk, taped pictures to my wall, fixed and reorganized the TV cabinet, and watched an episode of the OC on the SOAP network.
Notice that I haven’t gone to any classes yet…

How to Create a Writing Style That Impacts Your... →
the-write-idea:
The truth is: Your writing style either shoots air bullets that won’t even scratch the skin of your audience, and or it pierces through them like acid rounds and blows them away in pure “awe”.
I pay a lot of attention on word choice and writing, and I want to make sure that IT has the maximum impact on my audience, both in the off-and online world !
If you want to take...
Back at School

Crocheting Projects
I started off with that elephant pillow, and this is how he turned out!
Isn’t he precious?! :) I named him Edgar.
AND I finished my first scarf:
Next project: a bright blue cowl scarf for myself.

It isn't that weird.. is it?
Friend: You have the most random shit in your bag, you're like one of those people who will randomly have a book or like shoes.
Me: I do have a book. I was reading it on the bus ride here!
Friend: WOW, you're one of those people!
Me: Educated?

Totally wearing sweatpants in bed with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s New York Super Fudge Chunk watching the premiere of Kourtney & Kim Take New York.
What a good night.

3 Questions a Writer Must Ask for 2011 →
the-write-idea:
By Janet Morris Grimes
1) Why do I write?
This is simple. Because for me, writing is the same as breathing. I will explode if I stop doing it. Yet, writing is not something that I do. It is what I am, both when no one else is looking and when everyone else is looking. When I stop feeling the constant drumbeat of my stories, I will know it is time to stop.
2) What do I hope to...

Currently looking at photos of delicious food.
Collecting recipes so that I may sufficiently feed myself once back at Hofstra without having to constantly rely on Lackmann’s failure of foods to quench my hunger.
Any recipe suggestions?

Writers
abrinsay:
Writers are first and foremost liars, they write things that aren’t real, but they convince you they are.
Writers live off conflict, pessimists from HELL.
We make more shit up to make our characters interesting, we do that about ourselves too. We make it sound so detailed you’re going to think it’s real.
All in all, writers are horrible people. And we love it.
audiooo-deactivated20110509-dea asked: Oh awesome, thanks for the recommendations! I'll actually be free tomorrow, I'd love to meet up. I'm in an apartment complex in Germantown by Pennsylvania School for the Deaf. Literally down the street from it. I have a car so I can meet anywhere :)
I am currently at Borders, hiding in the cafe.
Refer to previous post, and you’ll understand the concern of this situation.

Bookshelves are for the birds
I really like shopping. I tend to do it quite frequently. I really love books. Therefore, I usually end up in one bookstore or another.
These are the recent book purchases I’ve made over my winter break.
While cleaning my room yesterday, I realized the pile was still on the floor. When deciding to put them away, I didn’t think that it would be such a hard endeavor.
Why, you might...
