Flickering Lights

Flickering Lights.
Broken Dreams.
Nightmares become Reality.

Do I dare?
Do I dare jump into the unknown?
Am I brave enough to face the trials?
The persecution?
Would I crumble,
Would I stand strong
Even when all else is going wrong?

Who Am I

(INCOMPLETE!-obviously. For once in my life, I'm at a loss for words. Meaning-I can't find the words to finish this dang poem!)

Who am I, to question your motivation.
The reasoning behind your call
whether I'm worthy or not.
If I deserve the blessing?

Creative Juices

I've always had problems getting my creative juices flowing when I have no desirable form of inspiration. I mean, my brain can only do so much here. So, that's where pictures come in. Since I mainly write fantasy I tend to look up fantasy landscapes and wallpapers or just pictures that would seem impossible. They get my mind working and I try to figure out what my character would do if they were in a place like that. So, without further ado (I hate that phrase-whoever came up with it anyway, it sounds so lame) here  are my pictures of inspiration to get the creative juices flowing.

365

I'm attempting the 365 Photo a Day Challenge once again. Last time I sort of managed to get to about month 3, but then spring break through me for a loop and I lost it. Oops. Well, here I am trying it again only a few months later. I figured there's really no better way to start than to just--Start. So that's what I'm doing. I technically started it a little bit ago, but I'm just now blogging about it. Go figure. Probably doesn't help that I'm super behind in my blogging. Oops. Oh well. In case you were interested, here are my first few days of the challenge. I have more, but they aren't blog worthy. At least not yet...

Blog Fail

That awkward moment when someone realizes the post is about them.....and you know you can't deny it.

Oops.

To Camp or Not to Camp?

Before you start yelling at me for using that line incorrectly, please know that I have taken Shakespeare and that I do know the true meaning of the "To be or not to be?" quote. I do in fact know that he is talking about life and death. However, if you do not know that-they please don't use that line in any shape or form. It's just rude. I however, am a writer. Therefore, I have the privilege of playing with words however I like.

Party Into the AM ?

Have you ever tried planning a party for your roommates birthday? What if your roommate had a twin sister. Have you ever tried planning a party for your twin roommates 20th birthday? Have you ever tried to plan a party for your twin roommates when you don't know any of their friends?

Fail Cake

Someone recently informed me that I suck at picking titles for my posts. 

Do you really think I haven't noticed that already? 

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Genius. 

Completely Normal

I took a poll and 99% of my imaginary blog readers said they wouldn't mind if I changed directions with my blog. Especially since the previous 90 blog posts have all been depressing and just plain boring. So, now the question remains-where do I go with this blog? Should I just ramble on and on about the seemingly normal adventures of a college student pursuing God's plan for her life? Eh-sounds good enough for me. But, I don't really have anything that exciting right now. I mean to me, everything seems normal.

Cream of Broccoli Soup

My family has the best Cream of Broccoli Soup recipe ever, it's delicious, creamy, smooth, and all around awesomesauce.

If you can make it right.

As you might have guessed, I attempted making it the other day. I had purchased my ingredients a few days earlier and decided that it was time to use them up. The soup tasted okay, not outstanding or anything, but it was lumpy! I couldn't figure out why so I called my Mom. The cooking expert in the family. (Actually that would be one of her sisters, but she's still an excellent cook!) According to her there could be two possible things I did wrong.

1. I didn't cooking the broccoli long enough, meaning the blenders could not break it down enough. 
2. There wasn't enough liquid in the soup to make it thinner and creamier. 

Honestly, it may have been a combination of the two. I probably didn't cook it long enough, but I was a little pressed for time and there probably wasn't enough liquid in there anyways. Oops. So I guess that means I fail at life, and cooking. 

Heh. I would screw it up, it just sounds like something this poor, uneducated, little ole' college student me would do. Fail. 

Carter & Dope?

Even as I write this, it's already old news. But hey, I have to start somewhere! First-a little background knowledge. I work at this little restaurant, it's a small family owned place and the food is delicious! All 3 of my roommates, 1 of my classmates, and my cousin all work there. So it's obviously the place to be.

Trapped Within

(INCOMPLETE!-obviously. For once in my life, I'm at a loss for words. Meaning-I can't find the words to finish this dang poem!)

It's passing me by, and I'm spiraling down.
Away from all this, into a false reality.

Insanity

You know your roommate is crazy when she starts barking at the computer screen :)

Don't cry

Don't. You. Dare. Cry. 

Reaction

Every time it comes around, I slink off once again
Hiding in the far corners, desperate to escape
Both the noise--and the pain
