I know Halloween is over, but I haven't accepted it. I'm searching for black lace dresses to wear to keep that Halloween spirit alive. My inner Wednesday Addams is appeased.

Would you believe I thought this tag referred to the nursery rhyme? Oh...no one's surprised. That's fair. Lil Peep was a rapper who died in 2017. This tag uses his songs as prompts. That's all I really know. Halei did this tag on her great blog Degenerate Reads with the intent of spread it around… Continue reading Lil Peep Book Tag
This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a Halloween freebie. So... ...I decided to make my favorite spOoOoOoOoky fictional characters fight in a tournament.

A complaint regarding my relationship: I can quote the Star Wars franchise in its entirety. I commonly invoke the "I love you, I know" conversation in romantic moments. I snap, "That's not how the Force works!" or, "I'M SURE YOU ARE!" when irritated. My girlfriend lets these words waft past her as if they mean… Continue reading Star Wars Confession Post

Jenna. Does. The. Best. Tags. I hadn't seen the thank u, next tag before Jenna did it. I love a good music/book/pop culture mash-up. Approve. A quick warning: these prompts turned into mini-essays that trended serious. But hey: the song is about break-ups and exes who've died. Some solemnity isn't unprecedented. Ahem. Thank you, next.… Continue reading thank u, next Book Tag

I'd bent myself to fit a set of ever-changing standards with no success. I struggled to make friends and the ones I had objected to "sinful" parts of my personality. My faith flickered… Continue reading Remembering Rachel Held Evans
