The way I dance
I waltz with my dad who spins me to my chair and then proceeds to swing my mom up into his arms as they stumble together in dance he doesn’t quite know.
But they move together anyways with mom telling him he’s miscounting and well, he just smiles a little and tells her no he’s not miscounting at all. They bump into the kitchen table knocking salt and pepper into a confetti...

sucking in that stuck kind of way
I’m stuck.
I’m stuck in this long list of what I should do and what I shouldn’t do and I wonder is this what life is all about? Because it seems to me that you should be so in love with what you want to do that you do it anyways. Passion should be the driving force behind each action followed up with determination and perseverance to get you through it.
You should listen to...

I like to...
take the nicely illustrated and glossy covers of books and throw them away.
I want my walls covered in cloth bound books.

The meaning of all the deaths in HP:
James and Lily: To establish the story line as well as to show orphans of war.
Cedric Diggory: To show Voldemort's mercilessness.
Sirius Black: To show Harry's lack of guidance/parental figures.
Albus Dumbledore: To show the death of a great leader can't stop a war.
Hedwig: To show the end of Harry's childhood.
Mad Eye: To show the death of a soldier.
Dobby: To show even the smallest of creatures can die a Hero's death.
Fred Weasley: To show that some deaths you just can't get over. And that's okay.
Tonks and Remus Lupin: To reestablish orphans of war.
Colin Creevey: To show that the good die young, even when they aren't supposed to.
Severus Snape: To show that you can always change your ways. Always.

ardorseries:
“I don’t give a shit about that world,” I threw the papers and petitions up in Adam’s face. The fell, scattering like fragile autumn leaves on a cool October day. “All that legal stuff, all those rules, regulations and restraints….what do they mean when it comes time to defend the ones you…
So..what am I supposed to do with this???

I’d like to give it to you in the best most fathomable way possible, but that seems unreasonable as human beings are bound to exaggerate here and there. What was just a simple meeting of two becomes a starting point of unparalleled adventure the likes of which we all wish to be a part of at one…

He called me Bella...
so I called him stupid.
I told him vampires drink blood and it’s not in the least bit attractive much less sexy. Nothing about that haunting iron-infested liquid is appealing and just because it mirrors red wine doesn’t mean it’s good. It’s only good because they need it to be.
Vampires burst into ash in the sunlight because that’s what they are. Nothing more but...

doing things we love
There’s a quill pen tattooed behind my left shoulder. Lately I’ve begun to feel its weight digging into the space it sits on as if it’s grown roots striving to reach my uninspired core.
Since I can remember writing was my thing. I couldn’t draw a decent picture worth crap and painting was too beyond me so I stuck to perfecting this much more mundane sense of...

when good girl meets bad girl..
It’s become apparent to me how sad we ladies treat each other. So often we’re out there in the world competing for who’s got the greatest looking smile, hair, butt, waist etc. We’re walking down the halls of buildings, stores, and so forth eyeing each other with contempt all the while thinking, “I’m the better woman because I don’t do this and this and...

when snow became romantic...
It was my first year at the university and I’m not even sure if it was in December or February as it is now, but when those patches of white ice fell from the night sky there was no doubt that love was permeating through the air. I lived on the 7th floor and so from my window, I watched as friends came out in heavy jackets and coats to take in the first snow of the season. The layers of...
praying to God
All I know is that chocolate tastes sweet, but on my own they’re not that fabulous.
God, it’s really late and no one’s here to hold me so could you do me a small favor…. could you cover me with your grace, kiss my eyelids till they’re too tired to open and ward off anything that’ll hurt me. In the circle of your embrace, could you remind me that waiting will be...

pointless camera
I have an old digital camera.
It needs to get used.
These past few years have gone undocumented.
That camera sits in my car and I’m not too sure if it’s even “working” now.
I used to make little graphic mini-poster things, now my creativity falls into words typed up or inked down.
Should I pick up that camera again?
Or should I go out on the camera hunt of my...
