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.

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
