    The Conjuring Universe is a Disappointment

    October 25, 2023 / 0 Comments

    When we first decided to set out on this horror film marathon, I knew all along it would be turned into a blog post and planned on critiquing each movie. However, now that we are done, I just don't think the movies are worth individual critiques, so instead I will just talk about what I thought and why.

    Realizing what Neon Trees actually Means to Me

    October 19, 2023 / 0 Comments

    Last week I went to a Neon Trees concert and I realized they are like a long-distance best friend. The special kind that can go years and years without talking, but never miss a beat the moment they are back together. Confused? Let me explain.

    9 Things I No Longer Buy (Because I Make Them)

    October 7, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Today I want to talk about some of the things I have started making on my own that I used to buy from the store that tastes better and/or works better than the store-bought counterpart I had used my entire life.

Emo but make it classy 💎 One more late post in Emo but make it classy 💎

One more late post in my series of perpetual untimely posts (but this is the last one luckily... at least for now), but I couldn't resist sharing this super cool experience.

Earlier this month I went to the @emo_orchestra with @hawthorneheights. And although at the time I had no idea what I was actually buying tickets for, something (@ge_rar_doh) was telling me I would regret it if I didn't go and I felt like it would probably be a pretty unique experience. 

I may not have known what I was getting myself into but I would 100% go again if I had the opportunity! This was such a fun, unique, and special experience. It was everything I never knew I needed and as a bonus reignited my interest in Hawthorne Heights music 🎶

This post is a bit late (because I seem to be stuc This post is a bit late (because I seem to be stuck in a state of perpetual untimelyness 😳). Despite my failure to post on a reasonable schedule I still wanted to share my back to back musical adventure of a weekend (last weekend) starting with @durrymusic at @thetroubadour 

I discovered Durry sometime early last year (I think. It was sometime before I quit work to freelance) and ever since then I've been hooked. 

I love music but it's been a long time since I've gotten so into a band and fallen so hard for some amazing lyrics. 

I missed their last tour through the area so I knew I had to make time this time around and it was such a good time. They sound great live, put on an amazing show, and are just a good time. 

If you haven't heard them before I highly recommend you check them out. I love so many of their songs and could listen to so many of them on repeat (really they haven't put out anything I don't like yet) but if you need somewhere to start I'd recommend "Worse for Wear" (personal favorite) "Who's Laughing Now" "Coming of Age" and "Encore" ❤️

And they're still on tour so if they're coming to your town and have tickets still available...I say go. You won't regret it!

Been trying to get something from this show posted Been trying to get something from this show posted for nearly a week now and IG just wouldn't have it. And although these aren't my top pix and videos that I originally wanted to share, it's what finally loaded and I'm just happy to be able to share a little bit of this magical night once and for all. 

Last week I got to see @official_neontrees for the first time in probably almost 10 years and it was amazing! So much fun and an experience that far exceeded any expectations I had.

I screamed. I danced. I sang until I lost my voice. And I came to the realization that Neon Trees is much more special to me and holds a significant place in my heart and soul than I had realized.
