    The Best of Gypsy Rain Roeckner

    I was organizing my files on iPhoto the other day and found so many pictures of my kitty… I thought you guys would enjoy seeing her immense personality! Note: sorry about the blurriness in some of these! Continue reading

    Society’s Depiction of Feminism vs. Actual Feminism

    Years and years ago, I knew someone who declared herself to be an “anti-feminist”. I was so completely and utterly shocked by her statement that I have not forgotten it to this day. Why on earth would anybody say that he or she was an anti-feminist? Well, it occurred to me, the person I knew… Continue reading

    A History of a Harry Potter Obsession

    I wrote the following post the night Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One came out in theaters. Since I am re-reading the series for what I believe is the four millionth time, I dug this up in the event that my fellow Harry Potter fans out there might like to read it. Enjoy!… Continue reading

    Joe and McKenzie – A Story of Near Suicide and Friendship

    After I wrote down Tyler’s story a few days ago, I decided to tell another tale of mine that also contains a powerful message, one I fear bears relevance to today. This incident took place when I was in the 6th grade, a few months after my family had moved from Arizona to California. I… Continue reading

    Tyler’s Story

    The other day I was going through random piles of junk in my room when I found one of my old songbooks under my keyboard. Upon opening it, I revisited the stories behind so many lyrics I had written between the ages of twelve and seventeen. (I have not written any songs on my piano… Continue reading

    Sustainability and Hope

    I have just completed my fourth semester of my college career, and for three of those semesters, I have taken at least one or two sustainability-related courses. I have loved every single one; looking back at all of my classes, they have been my favorites. However, I have noticed something that occurs in every single… Continue reading

    Little Miracles in Sedona

    This morning I stopped by the horse ranch I volunteer at to say hello and drop off some brownies for my friend Jim. As I drove there and as I walked around outside with the horses, I felt sick and nauseous for no reason, though one conversation with Jim changed that explanation of the anxiety that… Continue reading

    On Hatred for Skinny People and People in General

    I have to prelude this by saying that I am around 5’10” and ungodly scrawny. It’s gross. I was born with a tiny bone structure that got stretched out when my genes decided to make me ungodly tall, too. It is almost impossible for me to gain weight and as a result, I have one… Continue reading

    For My Teachers

    Dedicated to my teachers, the people who have molded me into who I am today. You know who you are. OOO This past week has been Teacher Appreciation Week, and I don’t know if I can do them justice with this post. For all that they mean to me, however, I have to try. I do… Continue reading

    Of Tattoos, Life Stories, and Judgment

    A few weeks ago I read a disturbing post that really pissed me off. As per my new practice of not ranting right away and instead allowing my temper to cool before snapping to action, I decided to merely write a response to this post rather than start throwing things across the room. The post… Continue reading
