Spent the early part of the day walking around the 3D archery range with @chrissjacobson @msfritz & @daiseyedmison Fritz & I nailed the bear through the steel from 35 yards felt good to be shaking off cobwebs. #isitseptemberyet #arrowflinger (at Kutch Archery)

Reading List

Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag [ten] friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them.

The Great Gatsby-F. Scott Fitzgerald My favorite book that I had to read for high school. I loved the poetic language. It's great to read out loud

The Bell Jar-Sylvia Plath I was going through a tough time in my life when I read this, but again, I loved the poetic language and the raw look at mental illness.

I Am Malala-Malala Yousafzai Great non-fiction read for feminists, humanitarians, politicians, really anyone interested in other cultures. I could hardly put it down.

Hyperbole and a Half-Allie Brosh A very different look at mental illness. Lots of humor, kept me giggling throughout!

Perks of Being a Wallflower-Stephen Chbosky Just a fun read about young adult life, open about sexuality, growing up, and all the feelings.

Harry Potter-J.K. Rowling My first series and books that I was really excited and dedicated to, even though I never read the first one. It was my first fandom

Brave New World-Aldous Huxley Another book I really liked during high school. I dig dystopian stuff.

Paper Towns-John Green Really helped me start to move forward with exploring the feelings of my break up, realizing I was in love with the idea of my ex more than what he really was.

An Abundance of Katherines-John Green Second book to help with the break up. Recent read.

The Bible I read the entire Bible in a year in 2012. If I can take more of it to heart I think I could live a more peaceful life

Can’t believe they are making you do the online training again… Are two times not enough?

actually i didn't do it last year and nobody ever noticed

Nah, this year it's a whole new process and there's a STRENGTHS ASSESSMENT and you have to make FORUM POSTS

So next time you are in Cleveland, you have to go to the botanical gardens near Case. I was watching episode 16 of season 5 of supernatural and the cleveland botanical gardens are what Sam and Dean see while in heaven. Maybe you could do a cosplay thing there... I just heard the part about CLE and thought of you. anywho... carry on. bye

omg really?? yeah, i definitely WILL have to check it out! i was thinking of going to the local conservatory but if it’s ACTUALLY the Cleveland Botanical, then…!

thank you! u3u

Oh my god, you don’t even know. I’ve spent way too much time with them. They feel free to act like ten year olds around me. So glad they dont have a tardis, i would be afraid

And yet we trust them with a stupidly large nerf arsenal.  I'm not sure if we're safer or in more danger because we're friends with them (also at least one of them is reading this/will read this and probably laugh his head off)

Look, I’m not really great with words or emotion type stuff, but I see it as something you feel that is different for everyone. I feel like my heart and soul belong to the person I am in love with.

awwwww :>

I think of it as you love people that you have a platonic relationship with, and are in love with those you have a romantic relationship.

((yes but what's the difference))

they came to the back door of the dorm. it was glorious. And I can’t think of anything else to describe them as… I’m like the Amy to their doctor and rory. except not crushing on them.

That description is even more spot-on . . . especially because some of them DO behave like Eleven at times.

My boys (aka the phi taus) did this!! :33 It was the best part of my Halloween.

Your description of them is amusingly accurate.  Also . . . they would.

arrowflinger replied to your post: I forgot that they ‘Americanized’ the first book...

Are you reading philosopher’s stone? or sorcerer’s?

I own both, but I'm reading Sorcerer's Stone. Mostly for nostalgic reasons because this is actually the first copy I read.

The A, B, and C countries

America: What is your favourite place to eat?idk food.  Redbones in MA, I guess, or if I'm traveling then somewhere they don't speak English (the best food is the non-touristy stuff)

Australia: Do you have any quirks when speaking?If I’m wearing certain item2 ii 2ometiime2 2liip iinto a lii2pOtherwise, I use my hands a lot and can be quite wordy

Austria: What kind of person do you wish to be?Crouching therapist, hidden badass 

Belarus: Is there anyone you love? Family, friends, romantic interest?There’s Devon, my girlfriend, and I guess my family too.

Also a shout-out to great friends: Libby, Allie, Ria, Michelle

THERE ARE SO MANY MORE OF YOU BUT WE RARELY TALK

Belgium: What do you think of your siblings?They’re no-good layabouts.  But they’re MY no-good layabouts.

Botswana: Do you like to sing? Why or why not?Damn right I like to sing.  To sing is to give voice to everything inside of you, and I can’t deny it just makes me feel powerful as well.

Bulgaria: Who do you consider close to you?See: Belarus.  Also, you’re either not close at all or really close, there is no in between.

Cameroon: Describe your culture.Well, I’m of Irish decent (mostly) and I AM Hugh O’Reilly IX, so I guess Irish?  But mostly Bostonian.

Canada: Favourite wintertime activity?Sleeping

China:What was the best moment of your life?I really don’t know, and I’d be hesitant to judge one moment as the very best because it would feel like it cheapened the other moments.

Cuba:What sort of grudges do you hold if any?I try not to hold grudges, though I do have a long memory.

But if you truly hurt a friend of mine or cause them to hurt themselves, redemption is nigh impossible, regardless of if they make up with my friend or not

Cyprus:What hands-on activities do you like (drawing, carving, building, etc.)?The fun kind ;)

Also building and shaping things, I don’t do much hands-on stuff these days that I enjoy though.  And turning the pages of a book I LOVE THAT

arrowflinger replied to your post: The Dursleys live in a FOUR-BEDROOM HOUSE and...

We have three people and three bedrooms, one is a guest room. Maybe they just plan for lots of guests…

This makes a lot more sense to me. Master bedroom, kid bedroom, guest bedroom. But they had this whole extra bedroom (Dudley couldn't have taken it over yet by a year old!) and they STILL decided oh, you know where this kid should sleep? IN THE CUPBOARD!

But actually it makes me wonder whether they were planning to have more kids.
