I Am a Human Being, Not a Human Doing...

Rambling thoughts. Lots of pictures. Even more quotes. Still even more reblogs from other people.

Essentially a mess of things that I find interesting, amusing, entertaining, or any combination of the three.

Go forth, and be.

30 Days

…Until I turn 21! What?! Where did this come from? How is it possible that I will be ‘of age’ in only a month… I feel like I’ve been looking forward to this birthday for so long, that I can’t fathom that it’s almost here.

Oh well. I cannot fuckin’ wait and I am going to party so hard!

In my experience…

The longer you go looking for something you want, the longer it will avoid you. But as soon as you stop searching for what you’ve always wanted, something better that you didn’t even realize you wanted will show up.

I really don’t think I could be any happier with my life right now.

I love that moment. When you’re on a long car ride, or listening to music, or reading. And you completely zone out. You forget your troubles, and everyone around you. You’re focused on that one thing, and that one thing only. You’re content, and everything seems peaceful.

This is a must-do DIY project! I now have the summer goal of collecting random old license plates. Now I just need to come up with a quote to recreate…

Bonnaroo! Wahoooooo!!

Bonnaroo! Wahoooooo!!

I really, really, really, really want to go back…

I really, really, really, really want to go back…

Sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whiskey and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind but falling in love and not getting arrested.

—Hunter S. Thompson

So congratulations, North Carolina. Last night, you struck a decisive blow for loneliness. And tonight, as you go to sleep beside your heterosexual life mate, you can rest assured that all across your great state, a gay man or lesbian woman is crying themselves to sleep in solitude and making your relationship stronger with each tear.

The fight is far from over…

I’m pretty sure that half of my college campus is on their way to Raleigh to protest the passing of Amendment One. If I have had more than two hours of sleep on the last 38 hours and I didn’t have a paper due tomorrow I’d be right there with them. Tonight, I am more proud than ever to be a Salem sister, knowing how we have fought and will continue to fight against the horrible injustices that this state things it can bring against its own citizens. We will not give up until all basic human rights are guaranteed and protected for every man, woman, and child.
