    Things That’ve Made Me Happy Recently, Part 2

    November 10, 2019 /

    It’s been a couple of months since I have made one of these lists. I think my gratefulness comes through in many of my posts, but, well, I just really like making lists sometimes. Antibiotics to help me feel better. I have a kidney infection going on, so I am glad I am able to take something that helps…

    Emily & Kennedy: 11/02/2019

    November 3, 2019 /

    When Emily approached me about the idea of writing a poem for her upcoming wedding, I admit it, I cried. She has, and continues to be, extremely supportive of my writing, and I realized that I was being given an incredibly gift; the opportunity to use my words to show her how much I loved her and Ken, and…

    Reflections

    October 27, 2019 /

    If you are a lake, (or any deep body of water, really)…. Please be wary of mirrors. You may see the smooth, glassy surfaces of these people and assume that they are like you, underneath. However, in time, you will realize what you thought were unplumbed depths, waiting to be explored lovingly, are nothing but your own emotions being…

    I hear people say, “Don’t tell people you miss them. Don’t say you love them first. Don’t give them that kind of ammo.” As if people are guns waiting to go off and kill us. I say this: if I miss you, I’m telling you. If I love you, or want you, or you hurt me, or you make…

    The Bookstore

    October 8, 2019 /

    I think I’m a secondhand book that was reincarnated as a girl. How else can I explain my desire to have you pull me off the shelf, run your fingers teasingly down my spine, and caress my pages, until I gasp and beg to go home with you?

    When was it that you lifted your shoulders in a shrug, and let the world have its way with you? When was it that you let the fire within you die, because passion is painful, and routine is safe and comfortable and easy? You were my furnace when my entire world was winter. But now you’re cold, and I’m…

That one person who, despite not actually doing anything to you, stresses you out when you’re around them? That’s low vibration.That job which…

I am a fan of all the classic Christmas movies——both Home Alones, The Grinch, White Christmas, A Muppet Christmas Carol.....but Krampus has become a yearly tradition, too. It’s so much fun, yet has eerie moments (the snowmen....yikes). Somehow, even though the mail is seriously delayed right now, I was able to get a replacement copy in the mail within a week.

Because posting selfies is A Thing We Do Here, and Because posting selfies is A Thing We Do Here, and because I was tagged for a #gettoknowme, here are some random facts. (I feel weird doing these. I never know what to put.)
1. I majored in English/Lit but wish I had studied to become a librarian or museum curator.
2. I’m 5ft 9inches tall, or 175.26cm, and a lefty. Okay, that’s two things under one number. 😂
3. The first “adult” horror book I read was a collection of Poe stories. 
4. I love spiders, bugs in general, and reptiles. (But all animals are pretty cool in my book.) I don’t like it when people kill animals simply for existing. Most animals we think of as “scary” go out of their way to avoid humans.
5. I’m not fond of my voice, so I prefer to listen, instead of talk.

Hey, listen. I know I try to keep things pretty ho Hey, listen. I know I try to keep things pretty horror-themed on here, but I still enjoy writing, and I still struggle with depression and anxiety, and I STILL think we need more people to be open and honest when they’re hurting.

I’m a simple woman. I want my purses to be durab I’m a simple woman. I want my purses to be durable, unique, comfortable to carry, and large enough to fit a book or two.
Of course, I would never just shove a vintage paperback in there, but isn’t Ramsey Campbell’s Dark Companions perfect with the fabric pattern and red lining? 😍 Incidentally, this book MADE ME EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. 
I’ve read so much horror that it’s rare for me to be truly creeped out; I was so happy that Dark Companions delivered. Thanks to @lanecrioteca for selling it!

What’s the last book you’ve read that’s truly unnerved you?
