Whoa.
Gone for…. ever? And tumblr has remained the exact same.
The consistency is infinitely comforting. Especially since everything else in Life changes so ridiculously fast, and without consultation.
I shall be back more regularly.

I just spent the past 2 hours making a thousand inside jokes.
Needless to say, but I will say it anyway, it was a very productive and memorable evening and I recommend giving it a whirl for yourself.
:D

I’m a regular customer at a local coffee shop. I go in and get a BIG Chai Latte and sit with a friend and chat or play a game or two of chess, or both, more days a week than not.
I always love becoming a regular customer somewhere. It’s like you finally reach that point where the place is no longer a store, but a home. And the employees finally reach a point where they are no...

There is a little chocolate shoppe in the next town over from mine, called “Victorian Chocolates”, that specializes in Chocolate covered Raspberries. They are the most phenomenal things I have ever had in this lifetime.
I don’t know who decided that dipping wonderful things into chocolate will make them even more wonderful, but whoever they are, they will be worshipped by me for...

I love life and the way I choose to live my life because, as a human being, that is all you can really do. It makes no sense to me to be ungracious and curt. I am adamant about manners and people using them. I find the simple things in life the most precious. I love nature and the way I feel when I wake up in the morning and inhale the dewy air. I stop and smell the roses, or whatever beautiful...

I had my first glass of eggnog for the season today.
Every single year, all my fond childhood holiday memories come flooding back to me with that first sip of eggnog. Getting my first guitar for christmas when I was 5. Decorating cookies and the tree with my grandma the month before she passed. Getting the all-time greatest present I have ever recieved.
A warmth envelopes me everytime I drink...
I adore crossword puzzles. I am, admittedly, quite a pedantic person.
The two go hand-in-hand, I think.
I mean, you have to be, even in the slightest way, obnoxious about your intelligence to have the want to do a crossword in the first place. Crossword puzzles are a way to show off the fact that you know obscure words and several obscure synonyms to those obscure words. They are a way to dazzle...

I’ve always been disappointed in the “Don’t Talk to Strangers” rule. Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand the ‘keeping babies safe’ aspect of the demand. But it is quite unfortunate that people have a tendency to strictly stick to that rule even after they have grown enough to know the difference between the good folk and the sketchy folk.
Talk to...

The soundtrack to my night, entitled “Sitting Around and Reading”, has only one track, and that track consists solely of rain falling to the ground. Fall rains are the best, and I’m not just saying that because I have an undying love for the season that is Autumn.
When it rains an indescribable scent lingers in the air, a fresh scent, like the earth is trying to tell us,...

I consider myself an avid movie watcher. I have seen a lot of movies in the short amount of time I have inhabited this earth. Whether they be horror movies or romantic comedies, Disney movies or Indie Movies, so on and so forth; no genre is too good for my liking. But the movies that will always win me over no matter what, are the Classics.
If either of the Hepburn ladies are involved, I will...

I live in a small town in Wisconsin.
I love it.
There is a certain solidarity that bonds the folk who live in small towns that causes the aforementioned love. Something about the way everyone knows everyone else, the way everyone helps those who need help, the way small town folk mingle, in general, warms my soul. If someone’s life has taking a turn for the better, everyone is there to...

My favorite thing in the world to do is to sit and watch the sun set.
There is a section of shoreline that people rarely go to because of the amount of rocks one must climb on, around and over, but those of us who do make our way over this treacherous mountain know the beauty hidden on the other side.
The litter-free sand isn’t the brilliant white of the Mediterranean, but it is pristine...

Ah, Life.
This day in October makes me elated to live in rural Wisconsin.
The colors, all the reds and yellows and oranges, are amplified by the rays of golden sun causing them to be even more pleasing to the eye. The magnificent scent of Autumn envelopes you as soon as you exit any building or vehicle. People coming together, whether they are aware of it or not, everyone thankful we have at least one...
