Love this store!!!
I have to say - I love the tees this store sells. They’ve never let me down! And there’s tons of cool designs to choose from. I’d totally recommend them.

Here by me :)
So it’s been a while. A lonnnng while since I updated.
Things have been amazing. My life has completely turned around for the better… no, it’s turned around for the best.
I’ve started to learn that it’s okay to love myself. It’s okay to surprise myself with these feelings. Who I am is beautiful. I’m not irrevocably scarred.
My anxiety has been so low,...

The Things We Do Just To Stay Alive
So I’ve been stuck in the hospital for almost a week now and I feel like I’m literally going stir crazy.
Nothing is being done. And I’ve never felt so alone.
Of course my family and friends are coming to visit.
But I’d like to feel a little more in control of my emotions at this point. I haven’t been able to take my anxiety medication and I’m literally on the...

Poor Mitchell...
Just finished watching the second season of Being Human UK.
Poor Mitchell is totally in love with Annie.

tumblrbot asked: ROBOTS OR DINOSAURS?
Blarrg.
I just don’t know what to do with myself today.
My family and I had a pretty rough day yesterday. We attended a funeral in which we buried my Dad’s best friend. He committed suicide last week.
I just don’t feel like I have the energy or motivation to do anything today. I’ve literally spent all day today laying in my parent’s bed watching tv and napping off and on.

Being Human
Does anyone know if Being Human (UK) is similar to Being Human (US) in plot? I’m currently watching the UK version and really like it, thinking I might try the US one after if there’s a difference in plot.
LORD OF THE RINGS CHALLENGE: DAY 3
Is there anything in the film adaptations that has made you angry because they’ve ignored important parts of the book?
Yes!! I was really looking forward to the part in the Return of the King - where Saurman literally invades the Shire and enslaves the Hobbits. Upon returning to the Shire, the hobbits (Merry, Pippin and Sam, I don’t think Frodo comes back just yet) and the Hobbits lead an...
I DO NOT LIVE IN AN IGLOO.
I saw a commercial today depicting a “Canadian police chase.” The two cars couldn’t even move because of the huge amount of snow.
It really got me thinking of the ideas that people who do not live in Canada assuming that we live in igloos. NOW I AM NOT SAYING ERRRRYONE thinks we live in snow forts and ride polar bears.
And I appreciate those who realize we actually have the...
LORD OF THE RINGS CHALLENGE: DAY 2
What is your favorite movie? Book?
My favorite movie is definitely the Fellowship of the Ring and my favorite book is The Return of the King. :)
Funny how these things work out.
LORD OF THE RINGS CHALLENGE: DAY 1
How did you discover Lord of the Rings?
I literally had no idea it even existed until I went and saw the first movie in theaters with my mother. I had read the Hobbit previously in school, but this was my first real experience with the trilogy.
I remember being terrified when I saw the Nazgul for the first time and wanting to leave the theater.
But, after I left the movie, I felt very...

Mediums
Does any one believe in mediums anymore?
I’m watching a show here on TLC - “Long Island Medium.”
It’s really got me thinking about the power of mediums. What kind of spiritual energy or genetics, I guess, do people really have to have to have the ability to commune with spirits?
A lot of the time, I sort of wish that I had that ability. But, then I think about how...
You Don't Know a Thing About Me
So it’s finally reading break and I literally have no homework to do.
The past two years, I’ve been so loaded down at these breaks with work that I literally had no time for anything else. And if I did, I knew I was missing valuable time to work.
So this reading break has been the laziest one of my life.
But it’s given me a lot of time to think, which seems to be plentiful...
Time to Update
Wow, it’s been so long since I last posted.
For that, I apologize. I have been so incredibly busy.
I started my third year of university last month and to be honest, I’ve never felt better. I spent the whole summer being terrified of how I would feel. Last year in university was terrible. My anxiety was so high, I was so confused and scared all the time.
But… somehow, this...

Revelations
The other day, I was chatting with a friend. This lady has to be at least 40 years older than me. But, she suffers from depression, and has for a long time. We began talking about my disorder, and she made me realize a lot of things.
There’s an inner strength inside me that I never took the time to see. It’s always been inside of me, and I was destined to survive the onset of this...

Old Movies
My mum loves to watch old movies. I just can’t get my head around them. It’s surprising how different they are compared to movies made in my generation. Everything including mannerisms, social code and simply just physicality are different.
It’s amazing to really think of how much the world has changed in terms of all of these things in less than 100 years. It’s almost as...
Gotta Start Somewhere...
Hi everyone. This is my first blog post EVER. So forgive me if it’s not up to par at the moment.
I guess I should start by saying a little bit about myself.
My name is Emily and I’m 21 years old next week. I’m going into my third year of university. I’m majoring in history and psychology with the intent of being a highschool teacher eventually. If the job market opens up...
