mouth-wracked asked: Lucky duckling, why are you in Brooklyn now?? school?
Dear world,
I am currently in a tiny hotel a few blocks away from Times Square. I’ve spent the day moving into my new apartment in Brooklyn and laying in this hotel watching Americas Funniest Home Videos. My entire family is asleep and I want to run around and throw glitter on people’s faces. I refuse to ring in the new year in this tiny room that is the size of an airplane bathroom.

ask/tell me something →
I’ve gotten many new followers in the past day or so, so I figured I would break this out. Ask or tell me anything you want. Also feel free to recommend me music, books, movies, etc because I need new things to obsess over.

01. The Breeze by Dr. Dog I’m constantly amazed by how beautiful this song is. It’s perfect. Do you feel like you’re stuck in time? Forever waiting on that line. If nothing ever moves, put that needle to the groove and sing.
02. Silly Girl by Descendents This song is the epitome of young love. I love how it appears to be a really silly, sweet song, even though it’s...

Aquarius in Love: A friendly, unconventional sort who’s intrigued by everyone, you connect easily but superficially, and you value your freedom. Despite your reputation for bohemian behavior, when you find someone you respect, you willingly make the commitment-which doesn’t mean that you intend to give up your independence or your eccentric ways. (Those are forever.) You can be as...

This year:
A lot happened, both good and bad. I grew a lot as a person, even though most of that growing happened in the last few weeks of the year. I had my first co-op job, and had to learn how to be alone. I learned how to balance two jobs. I went to Bamboozle and saw so many of my favorite bands (which may never happen at that festival ever again). I went to Bonnaroo for the first time. I saw some of my...

After the events of the past month or so, I’m really thankful to be where I am this Christmas, because some of us are not so lucky. The darkest times in our lives make us aware of our own strength and give us the ability to realize how truly lucky we are to be alive and with family and friends at this time. I’ve learned how important family is and who my true friends are through all of...
