I’ve been trying to write this poem for two years. I even tried writing a blog about the same subject, back in February of my senior year of high school. But it was kind of angry and not productive, and by the end of it I just got depressed. I was never happy with it, even though I had all these things to say. So finally I came up with something I’m happy with, and here it is. I don’t even use the “f” word in it! Continue reading “A Valedictorian’s Valediction” →

So technically, if we’re counting every single novel I’ve ever finished (novel being anything over 30,000 words, finished being the story is concluded), I just finished my 8th! Now, if we’re defining finished novel as “a story over 45,000 words that is concluded even if more editing is required that is actually good”, I just finished my fifth novel, but still. I’m twenty years old and I’ve written between five and eight novels, six of which are over 50,000 words. That’s pretty freaking cool. Continue reading “I finished my 8th book!” →

Not much exciting happens in this video, since it’s mostly travel, but more next week!

After a tragically long trip home from Rome, my roommate Colton and I got into a fight. We always get into fights when we’re exhausted, because we both have very strong (and usually, opposite) opinions about things. It’s fine, it doesn’t affect our friendship. We’re pretty much resigned to the fact that the majority of our relationship is disagreeing with each other. But this time the debate really hit home, because he was tearing into a major pillar of my existence- YouTube musicians. Continue reading “The best of YouTube’s musicians” →

I have a tendency to romanticize things. And by things in this case, I mean people. Every night, because it takes me so long to get to sleep, I like to invent a story for myself to pass the time before I finally actually fall asleep. Sometimes these stories will last for a month or two, just because the background and scenario is so much fun to think about. For example, the latest one is about me traveling through Europe and anonymously blogging about the experiences. I’m living off the advertising on said blog, and I just met Liam Aiken in Paris (he’s just a normal person in this scenario, mind you. Also, don’t judge me). Once, I was on the Enterprise and had to help the crew defeat an Ender’s Game-like hive mind enemy. I also spent some time on the Battlestar Galactica, surpassing everyone’s expectations on board and becoming one of the youngest Viper pilots ever. That sort of thing.

So I didn’t post any blogs all of last week. I know, I know. And I had been doing SO WELL. (Sort of) It’s interesting, though, that the things that take the longest, videos, are what I’m completely consistent in. I don’t think I’ve missed a video in over a year. That is pretty impressive. It’s also really dragging my harddrive through the rocks. Poor little guy. Continue reading “Shame on me” →
