Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
Oh boy. I get the appeal of dating a popular guy. A popular athlete...not so much. Sports are far from my favorite thing. That's not strong enough: I hate sports. When someone brings up basketball, all I have to contribute is, "I'm a fair-weather Gonzaga fan!" I have a hard time relating to people who… Continue reading HIGH SCHOOL DREAMS: Chuck Majors
It's May, and I'm still surprised that prom season is upon us. My high school prom was a week before graduation in June. So I'm always a little weirded out when cousins/friends' kids/acquaintances start posting their prom pictures on April 1st. All that to say, thanks to High School Dreams, I'm pretty prommed out, and I… Continue reading HIGH SCHOOL DREAMS: Eugene Moss
J.K. Rowling apologized for killing off Fred Weasley. That's not going to erase the picture in my head of George Weasley crying in front of the Mirror of Erised.

"Force Awakens" has a female… Continue reading Why I’m psyched for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”

Fun fact: In High School Dreams, if you don't buy a prom dress by the date of the prom,… Continue reading HIGH SCHOOL DREAMS: Petey Jacobs
I'm a connoisseur of terrible computer games targeted at girls. I've played a LOT - most of the early Barbie games, various pet simulations, an awful dating sim that will remain nameless. When I saw a trailer for "High School Dreams" while watching Let's Plays on Youtube, you better believe I bought that business for… Continue reading HIGH SCHOOL DREAMS: Landon
I'm a big fan of stories. I'm always consuming some kind of story, whether book or TV show, magical realism or Grimms-inspired sci-fi, anything I can react to, analyze, or write about. Come watch me write about stories, even if you should be writing yourself. Especially if you should be writing yourself. Reading about writing… Continue reading “Welcome to Illyria!”
