well...
I never post here because I never sign in here. And I never post on my other tumblr because I don’t have pictures.
So from now on, I’ll just be posting over there. Don’t worry, I’ll still follow you guys =)

Pointers for a HILD paper...
-Do not try to do too much—you only have 3 pages, and many people got bogged down trying to make 5 arguments in the first essay. If you have a lot of ideas, either pick the strongest ones or group the ideas into 2 or 3 categories and then probe those in depth. Vague theses and vague statements lead to vague arguments, which lead to very specific grades. So make sure that you’re making a point,...
I still love you.
Even when I feel like you don’t love me.
Even when you ignore me.
Even when you don’t call me back. Or at all.
Even though we went a long time without speaking.
Even though now you are so far away and I never get to see you.
Even though sometimes you annoy the shit out of me, and I complain to other people about having to talk to you.
Even though I really just don’t care...
Confession...
Sometimes when people say “oh have I told you the story…”
I tell them yes, just so I don’t have to listen.
que sera, sera.
I definitely wouldn’t classify myself as an optimist. But I wouldn’t consider myself a pessimist either. I suppose I would define my outlook on life generally as a “realist” whatever that means.
Depending on the situation, I can be happy, or have faith in a certain outcome. But there are also times when I truly belive that things won’t work out, even though I...
enlightened idea
If you do work that not very many people understand, you will be labled either a genius, or mentally incompetent. And often both, depending on the time period.

So I had a half excited, half self deprecating post all planned out in my head. But I just don’t feel like typing. Just pretend that you read something kinda sad, but still overall inspiring? Thanks.
Probably what you imagine is better than what I would have said anyway.
Just about to upload photos from my memory card onto my comp, and the folder is blank. Completely empty.
Mini panic attack.
Re-open the program. Folder full of pictures.
Breathe.
I mean, I know my pictures aren’t epic but still. They are all I have sometimes.
"...and I don't know how to fix it."
Something’s missing.
It’s not that again, because it’s never around.
Is it photography? The click of the shuttler. The strap around my neck, tenderly weighing me down. The feel of the focus. The press of a button.
Is it writing? The way my fingers fly stumble upon the keys and hammer out words, sentences, thoughts, feelings, that mostly don’t make sense. Composing and...
I feel forgotten and cold. That’s generally not a good combination for me. I’m also feeling physically sick at the thought of all the work I have ahead of me in the next couple weeks. Combined with this extra stress that I don’t need, but will never get away from. I guess I shouldn’t really complain about that though. Dropping a class at this point isn’t really an...

I’ve become way too addicted to Red Bull lately.
random fact #12
My biggest fear in life is that I will spend it alone. And I don’t necessarily mean that I won’t have a spouse to keep me company, but no one in general. No one around that loves me. I guess that’s why I can only feel at home with the people I love.

I talk to myself. Way, way too much.
random fact #10
When I was little, I dreamed that someday I’d have a house with a huge library. I wanted floor to ceiling bookshelves. Of course, at the time I thought that they would be filled with Nancy Drew and The Boxcar Children. Still, it would be amazingly awesome.

Today, the 75 year old blinding owner of the bar I work at called me over and told me to fire “Rachel, the stupid c**t after the next wrong thing she does”. My name is Rachel. FML
random fact #9
I have recently been keeping a notepad by my bed. I used to have one in high school, but I’d always forget about it or never use it. Lately though, I’ve been using mine multiple times a night. It’s kind of a pain.
random fact #8
I define my “home” as wherever there are people that love me. I could feel at home in a lot of different places.

I log into Tumblr before I log into Facebook. That really says something.

I used to hate onions. Now I kinda love them. Same goes for other stuff, and opposite for more. Guess that’s life huh?

random fact #5
When I’m surfing the internet, I almost never close tabs. I always worry that I won’t ever be able to navigate back to a specific site, or that I’ll waste precious moments trying to get back to something that I bookmarked anyway. Sometimes I even leave my computer in hibernate because I am worried about leaving a site. Needless to say I end up with at least 10 tabs every time I...

Nothing has the power to make me smile like the sound of a baby laughing.

random fact #1
Socks are my absolute favorite thing to wear. There is nothing better than a fresh pair of socks.
Yumi: Hey, you know what sucks?
Me: vaccums?
Yumi: Hey, you know what sucks in a metaphorical sense?
Me: black holes?
Yumi: Hey, you know what's not cool?

if I could write a letter to the devil,
I wouldn’t. Maybe I would. Can I please? Would he read it? Or respond? Probably wouldn’t respond. Wouldn’t care. Could I make him care? Probably not. Maybe it’s feeble then. It’s a lost cause.
Can I find it again?
