Lee Ann, 20. People tell me I look like Felicia Day, but I don't see it.
English/Creative Writing major, Anthrozoology minor, currently a (work study) librarian, aspiring author. Fantasy is my genre of choice, but not that cliche, commercial, teen-heroine-saves-her-family-and-falls-in-love stuff. I'm talking fantasy with deep characters, where you can't tell who's good and who's bad, and where the evil is not always vanquished.
These days, this blog mostly consists of Game of Thrones. But it IS a personal blog, so there are also lots of other things.
I have a lot of fangirl feels for Gethin Anthony and his beard.
Good thoughts make good things happen.
Oh, and I pronounce "bagel," "baggle," not "bay-gull." Don't judge me.
Currently reading: Dragon Age: The Calling by David Gaider

Is it July yet? I really just want to start Camp NaNoWriMo.
English major confession time: I hate The Great Gatsby.
I dunno. Maybe I’m just becoming bored with all realistic fiction in general; it’s very rare these days that I like a book without dragons and magic in it. Maybe I focus too much on the fantasy genre. Or maybe I just don’t like stories that end with absolutely no happy note whatsoever. I mean, even Les Mis had Marius and Cosette at least.
Also, I tend to associate F. Scott Fitzgerald (and Hemingway) with the pretentious asshats in my college’s English department, who try too hard to write like them, have no originality, and think fantasy cannot equal “literature.” So that’s a thing.
I prefer my history dead. Dead history is writ in ink, the living sort in blood.

Fangirl Challenge ♚ ten male characters

Well, it’s the Doctor. I should do what he says.
Let me tell you something about today. Today was the hottest day of the year in New Jersey, I woke up sweating despite air conditioning because it was 95 degrees. Now, i did what any logical person would do and I put on my favorite pair of shorts so i wouldn’t be sweating throughout the day.
Even in my shorts i was sweating my balls off but I went through half of my day as normal, no boys stared at my ass or tried to grope me in public yet when i went to the the cafeteria a teacher told me to go to the office because he finds my shorts inappropriate. I head down to the office to find a group of girls wearing shorts and skirts sitting in a small room in the office, we where all ordered to call our parents or to change into the clothes they had offered us from the school store. These items of clothing included sweatpants and a large heavy sweatshirt. I obviously refused to where those because it was 95 degrees and when you are sweating the key to cool down is NOT to put on more clothes. They told me I would have to stay in that room the whole day if it came down to it.
I was able to leave the office when my friend gave me a pair of yoga pants. The man who made me go down to the office brought down several other girls as I was leaving, at this point they didn’t care how long the shorts where they just sent everyone who was wearing a pair down. They warned me that if I put my shorts back on they would right me up.
I put them back on anyway because just walking down the hallway in those yoga pants made me faint, dizzy,and extremely hot. Thats the main issue, it is hot enough for people to pass out in school but to the school system they would rather a girl suffer from a heat stroke then to have a boy become turned on. My shorts don’t say “COme fuck me in the middle of class” they say,”Its warm out”
The sexualizing of innocent students is not okay
Risking students health is not okay
and tHE LACK OF FEMINISM IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WILL NEVER BE OKAY
Today was literally horrible
I hate our school so much
This pisses me off so bad. If I am hot, I will wear shorts. If a man/men is turned on by them.. Well then that just sucks for them. Maybe they can go home and masturbate later. But you don’t get to punish people because YOU are uncomfortable or turned on or whatever the issue is.
