Oh sleep, why do you elude me?
This is inexplicably cruel of you. You are very aware of my mental state and the wreckage of emotion that I am currently swimming through so why pray tell would you take one of my last sources of peace from me? I often find myself sincerely fearing sleep most nights when my busy thoughts refuse to turn off. My heartbeat quickens and I become more and more terrified of losing control of my...

Soooo easily distracted!
I resolve to clean all day before the party tonight; I shower, do the dishes and dust two bookshelves….and then I end up on here again. I think I need a shock collar to keep me away from the computer when I’m supposed to be doing other things…ya know? Just a little zap everytime I succumb to the temptation….maybe then I’d actually get things done.

grumblegrumble
Apparently my laptop battery is about to die a painful and dramatic death as it keeps calling my attention to its dwindling life source. I suppose I shall be gracious and migrate to my desk where the plug is…Laptop is very lucky that I am such a kind-hearted human being. *Sigh* Time to bid farewell to my comfy bed and relocate so my laptop can stop being such a life-sucking drama queen.

Poor Kitty Howard
Poor foolish, stupid girl. As irritating and frustratingly flirtatious as she was, I pity her. She was so young and her faults were not all her own. As much as I adore Henry’s legacy, the execution of so many people, several of which being his own wives and friends always cautions my adoration of his power. She was a simple, silly girl who knew nothing of power and position. She should never...

I miss Isaac, so dearly.
It has been months since he and I have met. I do believe I shall try my very best to set aside some time tomorrow to be with him. Dearest Isaac, you have not long to wait. Perhaps we shall endeavour to commence your long awaited journey soon…ahhh, but my lips are sealed! Not a whisper shall be uttered, not a hint revealed!! ;) All will become clear in time…
WHAAAAA????
Tumblr on my iPod?? This is wild! :D

Why could't I have just had another Darren Criss...
Dreamt about a certain guy the other night…it was AWFUL! I refused to accept his friend request a few months ago in order to preserve my sanity and I think this might be my conscience getting back at me for being cruel. I was at school I believe…and for some reason he was there and I kept ducking and avoiding his gaze but since he had never seen me in person yet, he didnt know it was...

Had the greatest dream last night!!!
I don’t remember all of it, but at one point Darren Criss surprised me and came to my house. He brought a new musical that the starkids made and I got to be the first one to watch it…and everytime something funny happened or there was a tune similar to AVPM he would touch my arm or rub my leg and smile. Theeeeeeen at some point he left his hand on my leg right next to my hand and...

Knock On Wood!
My face is flushed and feverish and quite shockingly warm to the touch. And yet the rest of my body seems determined to engage in a battle of temperature with the heat in my cheeks by sending fridged shivers up and down my torso. Curse you unbalanced body temperature…you are making me worry for my health which I really cannot doubt in these important days before and after Christmas. Perhaps...

Ho hummm....deary me.
Why do I do these things? Why don’t I know what I want? I dive into things thinking its gumption and I’m taking a step in the right direction….and then the nauseous butterflies lurch my whole being into a backwards spiral of regret and dizzy discomfort. I’m such an idiot. I have nothing to complain about. I’m really very lucky. So why do I feel so uneasy?

Terrified.
I am becoming increasingly mortified for my English exam as it approaches at an alarming speed. I’ve studied all I can and yet I don’t feel ready. I’m so afraid I’ll blank when I start and forget all the authors and not be able to identify any of the quotes. I would so much rather there be an essay question than quote identification. I don’t have time to go back and...

Emma ~ Austen Movie Marathon
Third movie in the Austen Movie Marathon tonight was Emma! Although it had to be post poned a few days due to some activities I took part in this weekend. Anywho, once again this was the BBC version of Emma which I caught on Masterpiece Theatre one year when they did “The Complete Jane Austen”. Although I do very much like the other version with Gwenyth Paltrow and Ewan McGregor, this...

Abandon Ship!!!
I am officially abandoning any further attempts to study tonight. I’m as prepared as I’m gunna be for English tomorrow night and as for Science on Tuesday….well…I won’t get anything accomplished tonight. Too exhausted, and suffering from a massive studying-related headache. Erego, I must cease my efforts and relax! Over-studying is a very real threat for me. Any more...

Mansfield Park ~ Austen Movie Marathon
Austen movie number two this evening, Mansfield Park (once again the BBC version)! Another favourite :) This one didn’t make me cry like Sense & Sensibility but it did make me smile one of those huge goofy smiles! This movie is just so happy, feel-good and awesometastic that it is hard NOT to smile from ear to ear at the end. I even love the “villians” in this one. Mary &...

Sense & Sensibility ~ Austen Movie Marathon
The first film on the list for tonight’s Austen movie marathon was Sense & Sensibility (the good BBC version). For some reason, tonight it got to me more than usual. I cried A LOT. Every tearful expression from dear Marianne or painful sigh from Eleanor triggered the sobbing. This is really one of my most favourite Austen stories. It’s second best after Northanger Abbey (which will...
