HOLY SHIT!

These past nearly FIVE YEARS have been a learning experience for sure. In the end, I found IDQT calling me back. It said, "You have more bullshit to talk about and ramble on for paragraphs for. Come back!" (this is all said with kind of Chris Hemsworth tone but a little more ethereal. Think Galadriel meets Thor.)

The RV Stalks At Noon

  Hey Gang!   I admit that I have an overactive imagination. I can’t help it. I have been creating these overt, elaborate plots of nothingness for no reason. For example, I once went for a walk on a trail in the back woods with some friends. Along the way, we found barrettes, a small...

The D.C. Diaries

Is it something summoned willingly? What is its potential? Where is it coming from? What is strength?There is this really great old story that I love. It's...

My Dating Constitution

Hello friends! I apologize for my absence but it was for good reason! I took the GRE with excellent results might I add (Thank You Kaplan). So, I studied all last week and really focused on the test, which paid off. I was surprised I did well as I was frazzled because I forgot to...

We Got Our Fireworks.

Hello again! Happy belated fourth of July friends! So, I am months away from graduating from my nominally esteemed college and I must admit that there is a bit of something in me that is stirred by this. Not fear but not elation. Something else. I talk a lot about my roommate and he has...
