new shows i’m slowly getting addicted to …

pan am

terra nova

once upon a time

grimm

revenge

sad story, i’m scared to go to bed

cause my room is crazy messy right now. it’s like a flash flood of books covering my bedroom floor. i think i crushed the spine of my old annotated copy of ‘the great gatsby’ when i went downstairs for my midnight nutella sandwiches (yes, sandwiches, plural). and on my way back to bed i stubbed my toe on ‘the illiad’ and almost slid on ‘waiting for godot’. only to use ‘ender’s game’ as a plate or tray type thing to hold my sandwiches. this is my life.

The Night Walker II

by whitney matewe hollington

the dawn of a new day blindingly illuminated the mud and sprigs and dirt on my sheets. the soft purple and blue bruises of my skin. black bits of charcoal under my finger nails. rays exposing the secrets of a reckless monster. flecks of dried blood scattered across my chin. it was morning now. the hungry thing no longer had dominion over me now. here in the soft innocence of daylight.

so basically i just go off work

and i’m off to a poetry reading with my mom and sister downtown and who knows, maybe i’ll stumble on a little inspiration. but the sad thing is i keep thinking “awww man i’m gonna miss vampire diaries tonight” .. because i’m such a girl, and vampire diaries is where i get my boy fix, cause all the guys on that show are bomting!

The Night Walker I

by whitney matewe hollington

i think i’m becoming a monster. i woke up this morning covered in bloody feathers and every muscle in my body shrieking in agony. my entire jaw throbbing and the taste of warm rust swimming through my molars. with the vague memory of ash moonlight. dancing shadows. and concrete gargoyles. the smell of forest lingering in my hair.

random rant: girl crushes

it’s seriously starting to concern me, and my friends, the amount of girl crushes i have haha. i kid you not, my girl crushes are starting to catch up to my guy crushes! i know i’m not alone in my fangirl crush on amber of f(x) but i promise it’s not just because of amber’s overall “tomboy swagger” i just seriously find her adorable. i think it might be the short hair. i’m in awe of girls who can pull off short pixie cuts or undercuts or rock edgy clothes and butch boots and make them cute and beastly at the same time. i love how amber can wear ripped black skinny jeans and boots and look so adorable and on the other hand also wear a strapless dress for a photoshoot and look soo angelic. i honestly think the appeal is in the short hair — ginnifer goodwin, katherine moennig, jessica stroup, michelle williams, frankie sandford and recently added to my crush list, emma watson. although to be honest they’d all still be pretty fetching with long locks all the way down to their knees!
