heyyyy, it's officially the end of my hiatus!! and this is going to be a pretty long-winded explanation for something that could be said in a few sentences: i'm going to be at a (95%, i'd say) non-fandom blog from now on. the url is litlaljon. and you don't have to feel any sort of obligation to follow me on that blog! i'm still keeping this one, i'm just probably not going to be on it.... much at all.

and if you need more explanation here we go!!!

i've been thinking about maybe taking a huge break from tumblr for a while, it's just that my friends on here were keeping me from doing it. and then july came and i thought what the hell, you know? take a month break. and it was amazing, i'm serious. i got so much done. i wasn't stressed out by the spn fandom on my dash and i actually outlined some of my textbook for next semester??? wow??

but i missed my friends. i missed seeing pretty pictures (shocker). and that's when i decided to make litlaljon. 

the point i'm trying to make is that i have enough stress as it is with school and just general life (i really want to get all As next semester, and i know for a fact if i stayed on this blog that wouldn't happen), i don't need any extra stress to come from people i genuinely like talking about something that i no longer love. :(

extreme selfie update at ten in the morning

you can barely see it because the sun is bathing me in that gorgeous orange light (laugh track) but i've sort of successfully ombre'd my hair (fucking finally)

p.s. criminology is no longer my second major (extra intense laugh track in addition to some sobbing noises)

random update because fuck it

mr. penumbra's 24-hour bookstore, the sparrow, and the red house are really freaking great

walmart brand (main...something??) candles are $3.50 and they smell as amazing and burn as amazing as bath & body works candles

coming back on to say

there was a spider on my bed so i hit it off of the bed and now i don't know where it is and watson won't find it for me and i keep getting the heebies thinking it's crawling all over me

being off of tumblr for real for a whole week has shown me that i am actually a really sad human being who only has two friends outside of tumblr that i can talk to

and what i really wanted this whole post to be about:

the books the ladies of grace adieu (and other stories), a monster calls, cat's cradle, and the heart is a lonely hunter are all very good and you should read them when you have the chance :)

[icovetyourskulls]

so yup! i'm doing it. i'm going to be taking a break all through the month of july.

Have you read the Dresden Files? It’s a good long urban fantasy series, if you’re into that

no, but i've actually been told by one of my friends that that's a really good series. i'll check it out! thank you! :)

Beloved by Toni Morrison is really good as well as The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
