Posted on January 20, 2012 by

So the other night, I was climbing into bed, and I let one foot hang over the edge for just a minute long enough for it to be grabbed by evil, taloned hands. I realized this, and then I also … Continue reading →

The saddest thing.

Posted on January 12, 2012 by

It’s two o’clock in the morning, and we have no milk in my house. It’s been a stressful day, but I’ve been repeating my mantra: It’s okay, Hornet, you’re brewing tea, and nothing can hurt you when you’re brewing tea … Continue reading →

Posted on January 2, 2012 by

So this post is completely going to spoil the book Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, and it would really be a shame to read this book spoiled. It’s one of those types of stories. So do yourself a … Continue reading →

I’m rereading the Harry Potter series, so expect some related posts. I don’t love them as much as everyone else seems to, but they do make me think. And rant. This is just one of the many, many Dark Mark … Continue reading →

Fear of the dark (and also robots).

Posted on September 14, 2011 by

The observant people among you might have noticed that most of my posts are written after six. While that’s partly because I procrastinate, it’s mostly because I’m better at writing in the dark. Huh? With the exception of my extreme … Continue reading →

Lullabies

Posted on August 9, 2011 by

It’s simple courtesy, you guys.

Posted on July 24, 2011 by

I am a very big fan of reusing stuff. It’s both good for the environment and how you get the most interesting things. Ever noticed that every teenager seems dressed as a clone these days? Borrow some shoes from your … Continue reading →

Good morning.

Posted on May 3, 2011 by

Some of you might have noticed that the sun rose exceptionally well yesterday morning. That was my doing. Probably none of you have heard that on May Day, or Beltane, whichever you prefer, a group of dancers have to gather … Continue reading →

Curse you, magic rock.

Posted on April 18, 2011 by

On Saturday, to celebrate our birthday (a week or so late, but hey) my parents took my sister and me to this cool seaside town a few hours from our home. We went to some cheesy museums, wandered around some … Continue reading →
