When I’m bored or anxious I bite my nails. Everyone who has known me for any length of time has at some point tried to swat my hand away from my mouth. I’m like a little kid that way. It is the worst habit ever. But then again, […]
Tell me where my heart is Tell me where the blood runs from Tell me all the words on autoplay Tell me where to stay Tell me all the reasons why Tell me why there are so many ghosts Tell me why the ghosts are walking on my […]
I was recently re-watching the animated television show called Adventure Time. For a children’s show, it is rather dark. It takes place in the land of Ooo – a post apocalyptic wasteland which was ravaged by a cataclysmic event known as the “Mushroom War”, a nuclear war that […]
