Brb, pretending to be an apatosaurus.

Ask me anything.

INFP, Neutral Good, and an omnivore frequently masquerading as an herbivore.

Things which are an absolute delight unto the very cockles of my soul include apple orchards on windy days, baking bread, fields of wildflowers, pouring rain, cat paws, naps, bicycles, things with owls, tall tales and fairy-tales, knee bruises, hobbits, hedgehogs, blustery days, finding shapes in clouds, raking leaves, eating bowls of salad as big as my head, giraffes, stretching, wearing dresses, hand-written letters, freckles, skirts and sweaters, the sea-shore, snuggling up under a bunch of blankets, crocheting, hooping, spending afternoons in libraries, and big warm bowls of noodles and cups of tea or coffee.

I mean, really.




I am so tired of the “high art” and “low art” mentality when it comes to reading. People are READING. That alone is a victory to me. I mean, I am a PhD student in English and I fucking LOVED the Hunger Games. Yes, I read the classics. Are they relevant? Maybe. Remember Shakespeare was written for the masses and was the equivalence of SOAP OPERAS. Are the classics enjoyable? For some, but not for me. If I can enjoy something and see the influences of the classics, that’s awesome. If it can stand on its own, then more fucking power to it as a piece of literature.

Reblogging for commentary. Honestly. Shakespeare was like 78% dick jokes. And Wilde would think you’re an idiot. The end.
