And Then There Were None - Tumblr Posts
Just rambled the entire lore of And Then There Were None to my brother and i love Old Justice Wargrave so much
They actually will..
Party like you’re gonna die tomorrow..
Never gotten tagged before, this seems neat though, let's see how it goes
Actually my second time attempting to write this, lost all my tabs mid process before. Second tries the charm though:
1. First of five things I like but not necessarily my favorite thing, bowling. I'm on my schools bowling team, and go a little bit in my free time, and I dunno it's just kinda fun. And its the only sport I can actually do decently, most recent high score is a 143. And yeah, that's not great, but for me it's pretty cool.
2. Sammy and Awesomesauce are my best friends so obviously they deserve a well earned spot on this list. There's not about anything I wouldn't do for them if they asked, their both the just such great people.
3. LEMON DEMON!! Look, I love Lemon Demon, I listen to him all the time, normally getting two to three albums in a day. And it's not that I don't like other music, or other artists a lot(Tally Hall, Jack Stauber, Oingo Boingo, ect), but I dunno to me Lemon Demon is just the best. You find the best burger ever, you always eat that burger. You find the best artist ever, you always listen to that artist.
4.Kinda obvious for anyone whose seen my blog, but obviously writing. I really like to write all sorts of genres, practically anything but romance(against it as genre on principle, but not against stories with romance((*Dicey and Greene*))), and one day I want to be an author. Obviously that won't pay the bills though so still need to figure out a better plan.
5. Really goes hand in hand with the last one but I quite enjoy reading. Last I checked my favorite book is And then there were None(ten people are lured to an island and killed off by U. N. Own). I'm currently reading The Illustrated Man(eighteen stories are witnessed playing out upon the skin in someone's tattoos), and House of Leaves(someone finds a book that doesn't make sense about a movie that isn't real about a house that can't exist).
Okay now it's my understanding I'm supposed to @ someone now, not really sure who, so sorry if you didn't want picked

"List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers (ू•‧̫•ू⑅)♡" Thanks to @daydream-dryad-13, @dorianbrightmusic, and @0rchidrose for sending me this! I'll also be tagging rather than leaving in askboxes so I can better keep track of who I've sent it to.
When someone lets me know about something they think is interesting - this can be something as small as "hey look at this cool rock I found", or it can be someone explaining a topic they're interested in in considerable depth. i LOVE it when all you amazing people share interesting things with me!
People responding to stuff i've put out in the world - whether that's a "you ok?" after a vent, or a "ooh that reminds me of this!" after a blurble, or a "but hear me out, what if this" after an idea - you're telling me that a REAL PERSON not only LISTENED but JOINED IN??!? amazing.
I have recently discovered that there's a gluten-free French bakery about 15min walk from my house, and i am DELIGHTED. you're telling me there's this dude who heard we can't eat croissants, and not only did he go "damn that sucks" he went and STARTED AN ENTIRE BAKERY ABOUT IT??!? and there's sourdough?! which i haven't got to try yet cos it's only baked a few times a week and it sells fast and i'm busy but there are also ham and cheese croissants. which are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS??!? granted, i am still suspiciously lacking in bagels specifically but I GET TO EAT CROISSANTS AGAIN AND THEY ARE DELICIOUS. this is a VERY good thing and i am VERY happy about it!
Bob Mintzer's piece Computer. The computer-y sections pop and bounce just like the inside of my brain and it's SO fun; and the opening chords never fail to bring a smile to my face. (It's now stuck in my head, which i'm looking forward to enjoying for the rest of the day!)
Silly bad jokes/puns. When someone gets me with the 'hi X, i'm name' or similar - like, fuck you (on principle) but I love it. and when i get someone in a similar way - it's just so good! another one that always amuses me is "where's my fucking [item]?" "over there next to your regular [item]" - you understand the style? yeah.
there are many other things that make me happy (singing, in general; for one) but those are 5 specific examples that came to mind! now, for the 10 people who've reblogged me most recently that haven't sent me this yet: @atimewillcomeforsinging @musicalyikes @chilly-moss @mac-attac @verycisdragon @amastelaire @astronomical-bagel @most-definitively-a-human @thefairfeline and 1 other who I can't seem to tag, so I'll leave it in their askbox instead! And anyone else that would like to join - what makes you happy, you amazing people?!
But no artist, I now realize, can be satisfied with art alone. There is a natural craving for recognition which cannot be gain-said.
Agatha Christie, And Then There Were None
Just like fanfiction writers cannot be satisfied without comments or kudos, as much as we’d like to pretend otherwise.
(This is an excellent book if you’ve never read it, by the way.)
Ten little soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Spring Reading Reviews '16
This spring's list: NK Jemison, Rainbow Rowell, Stephen King, & Agatha Christie #amreading
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything here. I’ve been hard at work at my new novel, so apologies for my absences but really Sorry, Not Sorry. I have been reading though, and here are my thoughts on what I read this spring (March-May). Minor spoilers (nothing plot related) below for The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by NK Jemison, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, The Future of Life by Edward…

What is there to truly blame,
the victim or the loosing game?
A little lie for her to sing,
to gamble for a wedding ring.
And when the child turned up dead
the lovesick girl was never wed.
Instead, she buried deep within
to wonder if it was a sin,
or just a push that came to shove
the madness of a girl in love.
I faintly remember the rhyme from some time ago and now I’ve finally found it again
Ten little Soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little Soldier boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little Soldier boys traveling in Devon; One said he’d stay there and then there were seven. Seven little Soldier boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six. Six little Soldier boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five. Five little Soldier boys going in for law; One got into Chancery and then there were four. Four little Soldier boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little Soldier boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little Soldier boys playing with a gun; One shot the other and then there was One. One little Soldier boy left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.

Book Review: And then there were none, Agatha Christie
My favorite quote of the book:
I longed to commit such a mysterious crime, no one would be able to solve it. But now I realize that art is not enough for the artists, they wish the glory too. So do I, I must confess humbly, I feel the human wish of letting my peers know of my wit.
Pending review, I'll revisit eventualy, it's a quite fascinating novel, catching your attention from the prologue already.
