So it bothers me the Interest bar minimises.
Muthafucka, I have that many interests saved here for a reason.
It’s not even that many, it’s like 12-15. But it minimises the top 5 alphabetically. Not even frequency.
Tsk tsk Tumblr.

Spring Break is in a week
I’m not sure I’d really care to go.
I enjoy my time up here. It’s not exciting, but then again, I overall am not an exciting person. So it all suits fine.
Maybe I can spend my time being productive. Reading, maybe turning this novella into something a bit higher quality. Or into a plot. Plots are good to have in writing. I like my concept, but it’s a bit too punned at the...

Chapter Beta: Journey
Alain spent the rest of the day alone rethinking his whole life. His fiancée had left him at the Altar. An uncomfortable truth of the small town, and its neighbors. He was a celebrity in unwanted circumstances. He was virtually exiled in his own popularity. People’s empathy would be nothing more than pure pity towards him, temporary hands held out until they thought enough time had passed...

Midterms! Fuck!
Chem, Army, and E-Design. Nothing truly difficult, but nonetheless, time I’d rather spend doing other things.
I just need to make it through one more week.

Chapter Alpha: The Pillars of Symmetry
Alain approached the field. Among him stood the Pillars of Symmetry. Well spaced from one another, moving through them was not a challenge, but the sheer size and number of them was intimidating. Standing in varying heights, all made out of what seemed to be the darkest of granite they seemed to reach the heavens. But each one was hardly wider than himself in size, it seemed almost impossible they...

I'm back from my Mil Ball

Oh yeah
So, it’s been about one year since I’ve had a Tumblr.
Woo.
Anyways, it’s Lent. What am I doing? Going vegetarian. Wish me luck.

I hate distance runners who make fun of...
Well, working hard is completely up to the individual. If they care, then yes, they work equally as hard.
Personally, as a distance team we used to always laugh at the sprint team’s workouts. 4 400’s? Ha so tough. Then, one year he started integrating sprint workouts for the 800/1600 kids, and I learned what lactic acid buildup meant.
Moral of the story, I’d rather do a...

I'm not sure why
But I am just not a fan of Glee covers.
Typically I do like covers since they give the chance of a different perspective of a fantastic song, but I’m just not a fan of Glee covers?
They seem nothing too out-there awesome to me. I’ve listened to a few, even ones where they have inclination of more freedom, Somebody to Love or Christmas, tunes, but it’s all unspectacular. Smooth...

Hey Ladies and fellas!
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/01/22/1057341/-F**k-Joe-Paterno-(Final-Important-Update,-please-read-3)
Read this. If you follow my blog, you know I’m neutral ground on Paterno’s involvement in the Sandusky case. While he did report with good intentions, and things were technically out of his control after he reported it, he had power to change terms.
But I’m not asking you...
The Week before school started my Grandma died
And just yesterday Joe Paterno died.
Now I’ve never been a man closely associated to death but from these two people I’ve realised something.
My grandma was a huge activist in the city where my dad’s family grew up. PTA member, created the Girl Scouts group in their area, and just a lifetime of service to the community. And Joe Paterno we know what he’s done. And what he...

It’s the rightly honorable thing for Devon to do that, and I respect the guy that as the leader accepting blame. What’s pitiful are the comments below degrading the man. He’s clearly in guilt and could not be more apologetic, save for running into Paterno’s room and saying it to his face.
Let us not forget, we are Penn State. We as a whole, Devon...

The Year of Death
It’s ironic the week of the hardest snowfall of the winter, the most iconic man in Penn State history sits ready on his death bed.
If you’re slow on the news, Joe Paterno is about to pass-on.
But please, State, do not let his death be your only focus, we must not let only the most recent of sadness overshadow us. In remembrance, Courtney O’Brien and Gaby Sicard.

I have no idea where my phone is
So I’m watching My Little Ponies.
most people: Oh, this idea is so cool! I wish it was real!
tumblr people: uggggghhhh why doesn't this exist uggggghhhhhhh
most people: Wow, that person is really attractive.
tumblr people: NGGGHHHH UNFFFFFF UGH FUCKING LIFE RUINER UGH FUCK YOU GO AWAY NO NO UNF
most people: 11pm, time for bed!
tumblr people: 4am, time for fanfiction!
most people: I love this TV show / book / movie /etc!
tumblr people: I just love this so mu-hu-hu-huuuuchhh OH MY GOD NEW EPISODE / BOOK / ANYTHING RELATED TO THIS I AM SOBBING
most people: Aww, I love that these two are now a couple in this show! I don't really watch for the romance, though.
tumblr people: IF CASUAL CONTACT IS MADE, SHIP IT. IF THEY SMILE AT EACH OTHER, SHIP IT. IF EYE CONTACT IS MADE, SHIP IT. IF THEY APPEAR IN A SCENE TOGETHER, SHIP IT. IF THEY APPEAR IN THE SAME SHOW TOGETHER, SHIP IT. IF THEY AREN'T EVEN FROM THE SAME UNIVERSE...SHIP IT EVEH HARDER.

I like it. One, it should stop any dumb spam coming in.
Two, to me it makes things a lot more serious.
For some reason, majority of anons fall into two categories: A) Angry, ignorant pricks flipping out at a post or 2) They ask completely casual questions or say harmless comments.
My question is why. To me, it disestablishes half the purpose of Tumblr being a public journal/diary essentially.

I get frustrated at the people demonising or protecting him. And I type this long elaborate speech. Then I erase. I don’t want to talk about it seeing it on my dash, and have people ignorantly talk out of their asses.
For those who praise him still:
Yes he did try, but in the end, what did he accomplish? Even he knew he could’ve done more. And it certainly seems like he’s yet to forgive...

So Jay Paterno left staff
My question really is why. I’ve only skimmed through a single article so I’m not sure if he’s stated a reason, but I’m curious if it’s because:
Penn State got rid of his father, and he was only staying here until they had an official new coach
He would have stayed if and only if the new coach was PSU-affiliated
He simply doesn’t agree Bill O’Brien was a...
Went to my high school
Saw teachers. People I hadn’t seen on my own accord. It was really awesome.
Funny thing was, I was technically trespassing. The school doesn’t allow people to just visit on a whim like that, so I had to sneak around to a back door. Fun times.
But alas, I finally feel so loved and appreciated down here, and then I’m back off to Penn State.
But first! A funeral. ‘Tis a...

Friend, Jen: Stop with the glumness you're bringing me down.
Me: Then cheer me up. I mean it's 2 in the mornin'.
Jen: How would you like me to cheer you up.
Me: I don't think I'd be so melancholy if I knew how to fix it.
Jen: I'm barely coherent right now! It's 2!! Ughhhh should I sing to you? Tap dance? Recite Shakespear? Paint a life-size portrait of your awesomeness?
Me: If you could do that last one. But with like me high-fiving Neil Patrick Harris.

Ted from Scrubs is ambidextrous. Or at least he writes right handed, and plays guitar left-handed.
Socially frustrated. Is that possible?
I need to get out of the house. See people. My life as a system is a mess, and I don’t like it. I need my routine of school, and friends 10 feet away.
Welp, my grandmother passed away. And before anyone soft-hearted ladies go to say their condolences, it was her time to move on. She was one iron lung away from being a vegetable pretty much. Family’s been expecting it. And I never knew...

So I'm reading the Hunger Games
Overall, the writing definitely hits me as intended for a younger audience than the high school upperclassmen and freshman college girls I know that read the series. Both the dialogue and the quality strike it hard as if I’m reading a Hardy Boys book.
However, even though I’m only 50 pages into it, there’s some things that already make this book pretty solid:

Skyrim is taking forever to download
=( However, I have caught up on my chem work and remaking some useful notes and foldables from highschool that I know will come in handy.
On a side note, I think it’s awesome that the Gentleman’s Society “Rules of a Gentleman” are flying through the blagoblag to everyone’s enjoyment and recognition for ladies and gents alike.

A band to which its style has once been death country. The band’s homelocale? Ontario, Canada.
Only listened to one song, but it’s pretty unique. And I suppose it could be called death country, but I mean, they use a ukulele, and it’s not like baritone screaming like speed metal typically is.
