I saw Andrew McMahon last night…

it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

He opened with Bruised. He included some SoCo, some Jack’s Mannequin, and two new songs! The new songs are really great and I can’t wait to hear them some more. He finished his set but then came back on stage and played a few more songs. ONE OF WHICH WAS KONSTANTINE AND I DIDN’T BELIEVE MY EARS AT FIRST AND THE CROWD WENT NUTS.

My first time seeing Andrew McMahon and he plays Konstantine. I kept telling my boyfriend on the way there that it was a fan joke to yell Konstantine at a show and he would always say he wouldn’t play it. But no one yelled it this time. And he played it.

He also played Watch the Sky which I was totally not expecting whatsoever. The Resolution was moving. The last song of the set was Dark Blue.

It was an unforgettable night.

Pictures will be posted eventually. 



Ladies and Gentlemen,

as of yesterday, I have officially reached a milestone in my life.

I started shipping a pairing that is not canon.

For the first time in my life.

I don’t know how to deal with this.


Why this break has been amazing:

  • Read a handful of feminist books.
  • Read a few more other books.
  • Got a shirt with Caboose on it.
  • Maintained my 4.0 this semester.
  • Baked a lot of cookies.
  • Ate cookies and cookie dough for dinner multiple times.
  • Cuddling.
  • Made an evil-looking snowman.
  • Went to an actual enjoyable party.
  • Watched all of Season One of New Who and a few episodes with Tennant.
  • Started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender.
  • Relearned how to sleep in.
  • Got a blanket with quotes from literary classics on it.
  • Cleaned my room (not necessarily fun, but I feel a lot calmer with a cleaner space).
  • Taught my boyfriend how to paint a little.
  • Became close friends with someone who is not male.
  • BOUGHT TICKETS TO SEE ANDREW MCMAHON LATER THIS MONTH AND I CAN’T EVEN DESCRIBE ALL OF THE FEELS I WILL HAVE.


Literature gives us an internal compass, a way to negotiate all life’s rough and tumble. It gives us insight, empathy, direction and warning. It is a concordance for the physical world, a magnificent prism through which reality is refracted. Much loved passages whisper in our ears. Long-dead authors hold us by the hand. Half-forgotten poems fill our mouths. Literature is present at the birth of our first child and the ordering of our morning coffee. It fills us.

Best birthday celebration

Awesome day with my boyfriend.
He tried to teach me how to play Halo and it was really terrible.
We watched eight episodes of Avatar.
We had cookies and hot cocoa and ice cream for dinner.
AND HE BOUGHT ME A SHIRT WITH CABOOSE ON IT IN A HEART. I CAN’T.


Power’s back and I am caught up on all of RvB! Just in time for the season finale!


Just so you guys know…

I have effectively dropped off the face of the earth (yay mother nature) until I get power (and therefore internet) back. I will be back as soon as I can though!


River Song and the 11th Doctor.
My boyfriend didn’t want to part with his beard so he decided to reply like this to anyone who asked: “I have a beard now. Beards are cool.”
