Life of a Random

Throughout my many many years of reading and being a certified bookworm... *ancient knowing look* I've discovered several things that I really can't stand. More specifically, things in dialogue that just push all the wrong buttons. I'm right, of course. ;) 1. Too many exclamation points. Whenever a character always (or almost always) talks in exclamation points, it makes them sound like they're over-caffeinated or hyper or something. Nobody sounds that excited all the time in real life! Life isn't that awesome! They need to chill! See what I mean? Ugh, I can't stand it. It's like an overload for my brain. It refuses to accept all that exaggerated emotion. >.< 2. All capitals.  There is a time for all caps (Let's be real, it's necessary to fangirl. It's a way of life.) but that time is definitely not in dialogue. In my humble opinion. To me, it's better to use action or tags or something besides all caps. Rather than giving...

Obviously, since I've officially finished my first year of college, I am a total pro at this. Obviously. I AM SO EXCITED. I cannot tell you how many times I supremely wanted to curl up in a ball and cry and watch Netflix (at the same time) and not worry about grades. Buuut, I'm poor. And poor people especially have to worry about their grades so. Yeah. The horror story known as finals is over for me. I am currently packing and getting ready to leave for home and summer break. *excited muted screeching noises* My room is very  messy so no pictures. I'm actually not having a complete break. I'll be taking an online class, studying to CLEP a class (Which is taking an exam, and if you pass you get full credit but no grade. Just pass or fail.), and possibly getting a part time job. My car needs some TLC and it'd be nice to pad my account for the coming school year. I've also become kind of almost addicted to the Korean reality show, We Got Married. Whaaaat? ...

I saw the title of someone else's post and it gave me this idea that I should do this on my  blog. I hope you like and I'm sorry for the irregular posts. Dear April... I'm kind of dreading you and happy for you because you hold the due dates of many school things but on the other hand you're one month closer to summer break. And you need to make up your mind about the weather. Okay? Beautiful spring days and yucky gray rainy ones should not happen one after the other. It's throwing me off. And I don't enjoy walking to class in the rain. >.< I went to see an apartment the other day with my roommate, so thanks for that. :) We're so excited about having more than a tiny room to share. Also, it's pretty great that you are giving me two different honors award ceremonies this month. Or it would be if I didn't have to go on a stage and receive things and all that jazz. Have you not dealt with introverts before? You gave me a pretty beautif...

I discovered this questionnaire at Cait and Mime's blog The Notebook Sisters , where I learned that the origin of these questions is most likely here . Thanks for bringing this awesomesauce questionnaire to my attention, Notebook Sisters! You guys need to check out their post . It's hilarious. I'm going to follow their lead because fifty-five questions is WAY too many to post at one time. So here's the first half... *drumroll* 1. Favourite childhood book: Unfortunately, I don't remember childhood reading too well. :/ But probably, all the horse books by Marguerite Henry and the American Girl books, especially the Kit Kittredge ones. :)  2. What are you reading right now? I'm in between books! So nothing right now. Even though I have a Mount Everest of books waiting to be read. 3. What books do you have on request at the library? Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins and Splintered by A.G. Howard. I've heard they're good. ;) 4. Bad book habi...

Did I ever tell you I have awesome blogger friends? I do. Last Saturday, two people made me extremely very happy. *jumps up and down excitedly* S.R. McKade and Unikke Lyfe both nominated me for a Liebster Blog Award on the same day!! !!!! Guys, you are both awesome people. Thank you SO much. Because I'm combining two Liebsters, I've decided to mix the rules for both (since they were different). I won't have eleven facts (I'll have six) but I will answer all twenty-two questions. I will then nominate eleven people and give them questions. (I know, I know. I am an awesome user of GIFs.) The 6 Facts: 1. I got my driver's license really late according to American standards (which is sixteen). I got mine a few days ago, and I'm eighteen. (Don't worry, it's not because I'm an awful driver. Not really anyway ;) ) 2. I hoard collect maps. Besides them being really cool, I don't know...I just love maps. And atlases.  3. I'v...

This is a new experiment/project where me and my sister answer questions (or argue) with GIFs. I'm using GIFs from Marvel movies and she's using GIFs from Supernatural. We hope you'll like it :)  NOTE: I am currently editing this post while undergoing torture from my sister (aka Tansie) while she brushes (pulls out handfuls of hair), curls (yanks), and hairsprays (not only my hair but also my arms, my back, and pretty much my whole body. She needs to work on her aim) my hair. I'm so nice to her. 1. Describe your sibling using the GIF(s) of your choice (how they act, what they say, etc.). Skylar: Tansie: 2. Describe yourself using the GIF(s) of your choice. Skylar: This is Tansie: Me again. Tansie: 3. Why do you love to read? Skylar: Tansie: Skylar is Dean. Dean=the one with short hair. Skylar says:  4. How would you describe writing? Skylar: ...
