• Nightingale: An Original Story

    This is a story I wrote back in 2013 for a writing class. Aside from a few minor details, I’ve left the story unchanged. I take one last swig of the beer I’ve been nursing all night, and then exhaustedly pack my guitar back into its case. My dark hair falls in my face, and…

  • Favorite Friday is a meme in which I discuss some of my favorite things. Some Fridays it’ll be based on a topic, while others it’ll just be about some of my recent favorites. Despite my decimated respect for JK Rowling, Harry Potter will always have a special place in my heart. This series gave me…

  • Here I am, back at it again with my inconsequential opinions on music! As I said in my last Mini Music Reviews post, I’ve decided to do flash reviews for albums instead of full-length ones. That way I can hide the fact that I don’t really know much about music. Nope, you’ll never know that.…
