Of Snark and Sarcasm: On a "Guy-fession"



Oh.
So THAT’S why I’m constantly followed by hoards of attractive men.
Good to know the reason.
Why, color me astonished, aghast, and immeasurably surprised; I’ve been wondering the same thing as Miss Booklit for years!
And to think, all the attention that has been so relentlessly lavished upon me since grade school can be attributed to the fact that my little nose has been squished and squashed between far too many pages and on so many separate occasions that it’s quite impossible for me to recall them all!
Who on Earth could have guessed that shrewd noses, narrowed eyes, and intelligent faces (albeit ones which are almost invariably hidden from view as they are so often wont to take up residence behind their wide selection of paperbacks) were what caused we bookish girls to be so incessantly pursued by the opposite sex?
Mystery solved, ladies. Now we can go back to beating them off with our old copies of War and Peace with an entirely new perspective on the situation…
They probably like it!

Home Again, Home Again



     All right, everyone: I’m packing up to head home for the holidays after wrapping up my finals’ week, with a grand total of six papers, three exams, and two major projects over and done with… Needless to say, I’m wiped, but feeling ridiculously pleased that I managed to make it through all of that in (more or less) one piece. Haha, that’s what I get for being a double-major, I guess!
     Thankfully over break I’ll have quite a lot to look forward to, like catching up on my reading, getting some quality time with the friends and family, and cozying up in front of the fireplace whilst enjoying the winter holidays. However, a good portion of my break will also revolve around preparing to get ready for my stay in England next semester! Needless to say, it’s definitely going to be a packed month, so it’s a good thing I’m so excited! : )
Lots of love and happy traveling to you all,
