Immediete, James Dooley, Imagine Dragons, Florence+The Machine, Bastille,

Favourite Books

Too many to count. I have a softspot for well-writing children's literature, the kind that you can read as an adult and be surprised when you learn something you'd never noticed before.

C. S. Lewis has a permant top spot. Otherwise, I'm currently drinking up the talents of Rick Riordan and John Flanagan,

Nancy Drew PC games, Portal, Portal 2. Also board games: Settlers of Catan, The Resistance

PC. I'm a boring gal like that.

Tools of the Trade

I doodle most with my Dell laptop and Bamboo Capture tablet. When I'm drawing on paper, I just use a mechanical pencil, maybe an inkbrush or some watercolor pencils. I also love painting oil landscapes, although I don't post any of those on here.

Other Interests

History, mythology, literature, writing, fiction, archaelogy, obscure science related things that I find fascinating

So, I haven't really updated this journal thing in a while. I'm bored and lazy, so I'm going to be boring and condense my life-updates into a few numeric points. 1. As of late, I've been becoming something of a Doctor Who nerd. I'd watched the odd episode here and there before, but I'd never sat down and watched a full season before . So, when they replayed the entire 5th Series (that's the 11th Doctor/Matt Smith's first series, for those who aren't Who-Educated) for their 'Happy Who Year' celebration, we recorded them all and I've slowly worked my way to the end of the 5th series, and... Well, now I'm getting kind of geeked out about it. Th

Life update time! I know not too many people read these things, but hey, it gets my rants and raves out of my system and gives me something to do. Well, I suppose the biggest news of the past few weeks is that I got relatively substantial scholarship for the college I want to attend... Of course, my sister got like... Three times as much money as I did, so three cheers for her, but I did get at least a little bit. Secondly: I SURVIVED SNOWPOCALYPSE 2011. I'm not sure about everyone else in the US, but it's super strange to get a foot of snow in Texas. Worse than the snow, though, was the ICE. And the wind. And the general coldness. I want s

You know, in many ways, I think that Christmas break is the most wonderful thing ever to grace the lives of school-age children the world over. In other ways, it's downright cruel. It just gives you that all-too-short taste of what summer break feels like. And the REALLY annoying thing is this: Because I'll be graduating this year, I'll hardly have a summer at all this year, because I'll be getting ready to move into college. *tears up* My senior year is only halfway over and I'm ALREADY getting emotional about college.
