I’m not certain what makes some stories as popular as they are, while others, of the same caliber, barely make it off the shelves. Certainly Harry Potter was amazing and deserved every bit of the success it got (I myself am the proud owner of the entire set!). But there are other stories of the… Read More Review: Twilight Saga, by Stephenie Meyer
They sure do have a sense of humor! Here are some ads that were spotted around England. I received this forward awhile ago but I do hope the signs are real and that they are still up! Enjoy!
Injustice annoys me. Thoroughly. It makes me lose my cool like nothing else can. This is one of the reasons I find it so sad that in today’s “modern” world, in “developed” countries, there are still so many people do their best at work not because they are inspired to do so, but rather because… Read More Doing your best out of fear
Like any good young adult of the 21st century, I contribute to the cultural phenomenon that is Youtube by spending quality time watching clip after clip. There are many (far too many) terrible videos out there, there are also some pretty amazing ones too. So here are, in no particular order, my top ten favourite… Read More My top ten favorite Youtube videos (for now)

It’s very short, under a minute, and very simple – yet the message is clear and powerful. Enjoy.

I like it when people get to a place in their lives where they don’t need to do what they are told, but rather can do what they want. And I like it even more when these people choose to do things that are good for the world, or just plain good, like the upcoming… Read More Burn after Reading (not your computer; the movie)
The proposal came unexpectedly, in a neat, no nonsense package which left me reeling with shock. All my life I wondered if I could do such a thing. Now I know. She first came in a couple of years ago – three years, two months and one week to be exact. I remember how her… Read More Short Story: Karma
I got this email a couple of times already and I am sure that some of you have, too, but it’s just such a good list that I had to put it up. I didn’t copy the whole thing; I just put my top 30 from a list of 74. I couldn’t whitle down any… Read More Top 30 things to do when bored at Wal-Mart
First of all, does the fact that P!nk writes her name with an exclamation mark means that there is a click in her name? And does that mean that her name is, in fact, “P-click-nk”? And if so, how in the world do you pronounce that? But odd spelling and questionable early hair color choice… Read More P!nk’s “So What”
A couple of years ago, a wonderful friend of mine called me boring. I still consider him a wonderful friend because he made me realize that yes, I was boring – or, more precisely, I was very mainstream. I liked music that was played on the radio, read books that were features on the Oprah… Read More Miniature art: celebrating day to day life
