“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma

and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND

[tuesdayisfordancing]

I didn’t know about zeugmas until just now! That is so awesome, everybody: 

zeug·ma ˈzo͞oɡmə/

noun

a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g.,John and his license expired last week ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g., with weeping eyes and hearts ).

ISN’T THAT AWESOME??

[professorsparklepants]

#in english class in high school my teacher had us write our own zeugmas in class#and one guy came up with ‘he fell from her favor… and the window’#i am forever looking for opportunities to use that one

Trunk Club Box #1

Trunk Club Box #1

I ended up ordering a Wantable box and a Trunk Club box at about the same time.  I hadn’t meant to pull the trigger on the Trunk Club trunk. It was more of an expense than I had meant to make, but I was curious.  I’ve always loved Nordstrom and to see that they had a service was awesome. I ended up getting the Wantable edit a day earlier but since I sent my Trunk Club stuff back earlier I figured…

did you attend middle school in the 19th century or something

[capricorpus]

i lived in a really rural town and we were doing an incubation unit in science at the time and the teacher joked that we’d better keep the baby chicks away from Kyle’s (the boy who kissed her) lips and then everyone jumped on the bandwagon and made fun of him for having the kiss of death and then he ran into the woods after school and climbed into a tree and howled for a little while in anguish (at the time his friends were also doing this really big werewolf roleplay thing) but then came down after his mom came to pick him up

he felt really bad about getting her (Katie) sick so he put all of his silly bandz in a box to give her after she got better but then the very day she returned he didn’t go to school and we never heard from him again because his whole family had left town. and like he kissed her in the first place because it was his last chance to do it since he was moving from town the next week but like the timing was crazy given the circumstances

anyway Katie got better and then she had a monopoly on the seventh grade for a little while because she had a crazy amount of silly bandz which were like a symbol of coolness so she became really popular for a solid three weeks or so and everyone forgot she kissed a werewolf and then immediately fell ill so it all worked out in the end

Stitch Fix Box #1

Stitch Fix Box #1

One of my best friends swears by Stitch Fix.  She loves what she gets from them even if she doesn’t get boxes regularly.  At first I was hesitant to try it – I had signed up for Stitch Fix maybe two years ago and they didn’t have clothing that would fit me then, so I have always been a little leery of it ever since.

So I decided to give it a try.  I dove into the Stitch Fix bandwagon and got my…

Summer Clothes Search

I feel like I’ve come to  a point in my life where I’m just kind of stuck in the middle, not really at one point or another.  

My biggest struggle in this has been clothes.  I’m between styles. I’m between clothing types – I’m petite on my bottom half but not my top, I’m at the largest end of standard women’s sizes but the smallest end for plus sizes – hovering somewhere between a 14 and a 16 but…

Back to Basics

Through the exhaustion and insanity of the last two and a half years I have forgotten a bit about this blog.  I have wanted to come back to it, but I have not had the motivation or wherewithal.  I’ve felt the same way about all sorts of writing recently.

And yet…

And yet here I am.  I was going to start a new blog, and when I went to log in I was reminded that my email has been used here before,…

why is “olde vampires in high school” the big thing and not “olde vampires in college”

everyone in college is eccentric. everyone

you wanna wear full on Victorian suit? the girl in pajamas who clearly hasn’t slept in three days supports you

everyone is too preoccupied to care as long as you’re polite and follow class etiquette

multiple high school diplomas? eh. same stuff. multiple BAs? Enjoy learning chemistry AND art history! All in detail!

wandering around campus at 3am? that’s just the lifestyle tm

no matter how old or young you look it’s not really that weird, there’s sixteen year olds and sixty year olds doing BAs somewhere

big schools are very anonymous so nobody’s gonna bother to hassle you

[overelegantstranger]

the girl in pyjamas is the vampire

Also:

If u put ur blood in a water bottle ppl will assume it’s juice and be Jealous

“Oh god I’m a monster” 20 students who r all procrastinating big projects say “same” simultaniousely and with the exact same tone

Everything is a joke so if u say “I subsist on the lifeblood of mankind” someone will go “lol what a mood”

It would take u like 100 years to major in everything

Seen sucking the blood of a fellow classmate and u r instantly the campus Cryptid and Mascot

Listen. If u have an ethical dilemma go find a philosophy major that believes in ethical subjectivism and they’ll make u so angry u forget abt whatever the fuck was bothering u

College is the only acceptable place to get into fistfights over classical literature

Literally all u need to do to avoid suspicion is be the guy that always has gum and a stapler

If u have a majestic mustache ppl will just assume ur an English major

Allergic to crosses? Cool. So r certain stem majors.

[captainlordauditor]

#there literally was a guy who bit someone’s neck at my university #in my last year#everyone was just like ‘CAMPUS CRYPTID’

also everybody is either always eating or never eating so not eating isn’t that weird

[hellenhighwater]

“never seen in the light of the sun//sleeps all day & is awake at night” “can’t eat garlic” “dresses weird” “can’t enter your home uninvited” “won’t go into churches” “drinks weird red liquid”

this is just a liberal arts major with a garlic allergy and social anxiety.
