What a waste of time
I joined due to the sheer peer pressure and because I've been lurking on several people's Tumblrs for a litte while now. "Let's get legitimate and actually follow them," I thought.
I may reblog some beautiful things, post random one-liners, generally waste my time.
Prepare for Victorian literary references- I am, after all, The Bookish One.
I'm an English major, an Etsy seller, a Sherlockian, a Wholligan, a student journalist, and a PBS kid. NaNoWriMo is my favorite time of year. I'm also a theatre geek.

-A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

“What happens in a certain place can stain your feelings for that location, just as ink can stain a white sheet. You can wash it, and wash it, and still never forget what has transpired.”

“God forbid that any book should be banned. The practice is as indefensible as infanticide.”
