matriaya asked: It's Tuesday, and your question is: If you were on a desert island with only one book to read and re-read for the rest of your short, thirty existence, which book would you have in your hand?

So, here's the deal
I’ve been bullied in my life since fifth grade. At age 10, when it first started and I didn’t know how to handle it, I almost attempted suicide. The thought’s crossed my mind multiple times since then. The idea of hurting myself has been appealing in the seven years that have gone by. On the few times I reached out for help, I was ignored. Now I see my brother who, admittedly,...

Officially Hit by Senioritis
As the AP test is 2 months away…really not good timing. We couldn’t wait until May, brain?
The person I reblogged this from is beautiful.
Listen tumblr, I know we all love Robert Downey,...

Can we just take a second to talk about how hot his eighteen-year-old son is? I mean, really. Not only is he RDJ’s progeny, he’s also only 18, which is way less creepy than being in love with the 46-year-old Downey. Seriously, look at him. Boy’s fine.
Can’t we obsess over them both.
i would gladly bone both of them

I’m watching the Oscars, for God knows what reason. Hugo has won 4 Oscars, The Help has won 1, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has won 1. All three are movies based off books. There might’ve been an acknowledgement of the author of The Help, but none for the other two that anyone has found.
This is pretty frustrating for a book person. The authors CREATED the books. Maybe they...

Today I went to Duquesne’s open house. I took a tour, found out that it’s extra easy to double major in English and Public Relations and Advertising and I can minor in History. I learned that being an honors student is still pretty easy and all 30 of my credits should transfer and they might help me get a job even though I don’t qualify for Work Study. I saw a room and the green...
So far, I’ve had my first trip to Houlihan’s (S’more fondue isn’t NEARLY as gross as it sounds. Sweet Jesus.) and we’ve been up the Duquesne Incline. With all the lights and the snow…it was pretty magical.
Then almost as soon as we got back on the ground, it started icing. Did I mention we only wore sweatshirts and we’re 3 or 4 blocks from our car?...
A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs
staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits. As a company, we’ve decided that some specific kinds of content...

Confession: I'm a jealous person.
But I’m not jealous of things or grades or class rank or whatever. I might get jealous for a few moments if someone has a book I desperately want or they’ve got a 100 in a class I’m struggling to get an 87 in, but it passes quickly.
What I’m really jealous of is people. People that get to have a “normal” life. Friendships that last a life time. Friendships in...
I’ve been screaming for years and no one has ever heard me.

Can we talk about how excited I am to go back to Pittsburgh? And go see Duquesne? And meet other people excited to go to Duquesne? And meet other bloggers? And the fact I only have one day of school this week?
No? Alright…I’ll go be excited on my own.

My older sister is married to the most wonderful, charming and the kindest man in the world. He has cancer - melanoma that spread to his lungs and now his brain. As of today he is in hospice care. My beautiful older sister has been so goddamn strong throughout all of this, and this is her cause. She’s shaving her head for charity, taking part in Today FM’s Shave Or Dye 2012, to...

bookalicious:
is publishing really still discussing whether or not bloggers are a viable marketing tool? The marketing tool thing aside I know everyone in publishing believes that word of mouth sells books. Does everyone think that bloggers are sedentary creatures who only exist behind a computer pushing out blog posts that only their friends read? Bloggers are in your book club, at book...
