The Doctor and Rose, OR I'm A Geeky Fangirl and...
Although I am very much a geeky lover of science fiction in general, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that the thing I love most about Doctor Who is the characters, and in Series’ 1-4 specifically, the relationship between the Doctor and Rose. To be absolutely honest, this is the kind of relationship that I’m looking for. The dynamic that they have. The connection between them...

Day 10 - Discuss Your First Love and Your First...
Honestly, I still haven’t had a ‘First Love.’ I’ve never been out of my mind smitten with anyone that I dated. It’s actually sort of sad. I mean, I liked my boyfriends. I did. And separating with them was painful, but it was largely because I missed the companionship. Between my two previous relationships, neither felt absolutely real to me, in the sense that it...
Day 09 - How You Hope Your Future Will Be Like
This is going to be very similar to an earlier day’s question of what your life will look like in 10 years.
I hope in the future, that I will be fortunate enough to have a job doing something I love. I hope that I will not lose contact with the people that I hold dear. I want to live somewhere else for a while, not sure where yet. But I don’t want to be too far away from my mom and...
Day 08 - A Moment You Felt the Most Satisfied With...
Sigma Kappa has given me so much happiness. This is from Greek Week, when I realized how much I love this sorority and these amazing women, and when I truly felt a deep connection with it.
“I never get jealous when I see my ex with someone else, because my parents always taught me to give my used toys to the less fortunate.”

Day 06 - 30 Interesting Facts About Yourself
1. I’m a writer, inside and out. I write blog-style, I write letters, I write papers, I write fiction. I can describe things really well—a feeling, a situation, people, anything. I appreciate well-thought-out plots and characters, and I can’t STAND shitty literature because I find it insulting to my intelligence. I write much better than I speak. Words out of my mouth tumble and...
Day 05 - A Time You Thought About Ending Your Life
Actually, I’ve never seriously considered suicide. I mean, I’ve entertained the thought, what if I were suicidal, but I could never honestly say it was a possibility. I was very depressed my junior year of high school (it was a rough year; my dog died, sergio moved to chicago, most of my female friends were too obsessed with their boyfriends to ever see me, and my mom and i were...
Day 04 - Your Views on Religion
I consider myself a Christian, and I consider myself spiritual, but I would not consider myself to be ‘religious.’ The word ‘religious’ to me has a bit of a negative connotation because I believe many ‘religious’ people are not people I would say share my beliefs, or even follow what Jesus was all about. I like to say that I believe in God, and not in men. I say...
Day 03 - Your Views on Drugs and Alcohol
My father is an alcoholic and a prescription drug addict who hasn’t been a part of my life since I was 6. And in those first 6 years, I never wanted him around anyway because he was terrifying and abusive. My mom tells me that he used to be a good person, and that she wishes I could have known him then. Personally I could never see the monster of my childhood as being anything but that. I...
Day 02 - Where You'd Like to Be in Ten Years
In ten years, I’d like to be happy. I will be 28 years old, almost 29. I’ll have at least a bachelor’s degree. I hope that I’ll have a secure job that I love. I hope that I’ll be with a man that I love, and loves me even more. I hope that I’ll be a mom either soon or already (I’m not allowed to have kids after 30 due to my polycystic kidneys). I want to...
