Dumb Things White People Say: I am not sorry for... →
sourcedumal:
I am not sorry for wanting to see brown people in the Hobbit
I am not sorry for wanting more brown people in fantasy
I am not sorry for not just turning my brain off and enjoying a movie from a racist author.
I am not sorry for being tired of constantly having to wait on…
This is the exact reason I will be writing fantasy novels with black females as the heroines.

What to Read Instead of Twilight →
yeahwriters:
by Jillian Anthony. This is a really great list for younger young adults.

No, I am not a Twi-hard; I just feel a strong pull to be aware of my generation’s pop culture obsessions, and Twilightmade such a splash that I had to read it for myself. But after devouring four poorly...

eeeeeeeeee!!
So grades went up. 3 bs and 1 c. Considering I thought I was going to fail two classes, I will call this a SERIOUS win for myself. How else would I reward myself besides reading!
Started The Book Thief, and am completely and utterly obsessed. I didn’t want to go to sleep last night because I was too busy reading. Love love love it.

I have an angsty song stuck in my head.
It makes me feel all angstyyyyyy. Damn. I also only brought the next Vampire Academy book to work but I kind of want to read something grown. Sigh. Firstworld problems.

Finally finished my recast!
I wish I was more adept at all this internet stuff but there you have it. The first one I posted is the main characters (in my opinion), then the secondary ones in the next post. Now go read the book and imagine these people! It makes all the sexual tension between Dorian and every man ever super sexy.
And Rupert Grint is just so fantastic when he’s all twisted and bad.

I have done exactly nothing since then except troll on tumblr.

I have finally finished casting my dorian gray with hp characters. This is probably only interesting if you’ve read the book. I don’t care. I am going to attempt to make a photoset. Heh heh heh…
