I had a specific topic I was GOING to write about today, but I just don't really feel like opening up the nostalgia and emotional confusion right now, so let's just have a bit of a talk! First, let's talk tail! The support on my Indiegogo has been so heartwarming. I really appreciate everyone who's helped, even is it's just with kind words. Here's the link if you haven't seen it already! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/omg-a-real-mermaid-will-swim-for-a-little-help/ My last blog post details the whole situation, so I'll just direct you to that instead of repeating myself again. Please note, though, that I did have to remove every single detail of the story as it was misconstrued as being slanderous. Due to legal and physical threats, I had to remove quite a bit. It detracts from the story for sure, but I'm not going to deal with the drama anymore. I'm exhausted. UGH, happier things now please! So I'm in my next to last semester ...

And it's not really reasonable to try to make the blog something it isn't. SO AS IT STANDS this website will sort of transition into an official page for me, costuming, my calendar, and basically an expanded facebook fanpage (which you should totally go check out at facebook.com/leahroseaz) I'll still make posts as I have time, but I won't beat myself up for not getting to it. I'll document my conventions and work and every...

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I wrote this bomb paper for English about Twilight. So here you go! PS. If you steal it and turn it in I'll sic my puppy on you and she'll pee on your shoes. Don't tempt me! PPS. Full credit, biaches. And I know I could have written better. PPPS. So some of my ideas I couldn't include- like, I think everything has some academic value, even if like in this case it's what NOT to do. But it would have been twice as long if I had even went there. hee. Twilight Is No Literary Masterpiece             Over the years, certain book series develop an almost cult-like following for many different reasons . Teenage themed and targeted books are no exception and are in fact the easiest examples of such fandom . Nancy Drew mysteries, fairy tales, the Harry Potter series, and the like have stood the test of time and have remained popular with not only their original age group, but the generations after...
