It’s no secret that I love discussions. I try to find as many as I can, but it’s never enough for me! So, I thought, why not have people bring the discussions to me? Then I can share them with other people! (Is there anyone else who has something like this? If so, I’d love to know!) I’d love to do this regularly, but right now my only open days are Wednesdays and Saturdays, and those are the days I […]
Since I was young, I have always known this: Life damages us, every one. We can’t escape that damage. With all of the hype and the negativity surrounding the final installment of the Divergent series, I was kind of afraid to read it! I can’t really say it lived up to the hype, and I wasn’t blown away by it, but I still enjoyed it. Tris improved greatly in this one. In Insurgent, she pissed me off so badly that I […]
To be honest, I rarely ever watch TV. In fact, the only time I ever watch it anymore is when my parents are watching and I’m sitting on the couch working on the computer. I have a major commitment issue when it comes to shows! I’ll start watching something, then after a couple of episodes, I just….stop watching.

Sure, I went through that phase when I was young and thought that was the only kind of boy that existed, but when it comes time to settle down, bad boys are so not appealing. Why would you want to marry someone who will treat you like crap (and possibly cheat on […]
Insurgent. Noun. A person who acts in opposition to the established authority, who is not necessarily regarded as a belligerent. While I still mostly enjoyed this one, it was overall kind of meh for me. Now that I’ve finished it, the book is already fading away. It won’t stick with me or leave a lasting impression. The feeling (or lack thereof) I got from this book probably didn’t deserve a 3 heartbeat rating, but I did enjoy it while I […]
