The Ides of March has me reminiscing about my ninth grade English class. All the other freshman read Romeo and Juliet, but the advanced English teacher decided to have her students read Julius Caesar instead. And it was epic.

While I was cleaning out my desk (long overdue task), I found many loose-leaf sheets of paper containing inane musings and lists from my pre-Tumblr era that likely would've gone on my blog if I had one at the time, my personal favourite being a list I made and presented to a friend who was an enormous Avatar: The Last Airbender fan when my family first started watching the show.
