Bio
I'm not the most sophisticated adult out there. I'm also not the best at communicating all the time, but I do try my best to get my thoughts out there into the world verbally or nonverbally.

I'm No Child
Okay, let me get one thing out of the way for the sake of context: I'm in my early adulthood and I am shorter than the teenagers around here. There are times when I go to a movie theater or pick up a wine bottle for myself and, when I pull out my state ID, the employee seems surprised when it reveals that I'm over 20. They don't explicitly say anything, I guess because of the shift they have to deal with, but I know that they're surprised.

Marks of Thick Patton
Patton didn't mind showing some skin every once in a while. He didn't mind showing off his body to Roman whenever he knew the Prince would enjoy it. Heck, he's okay with modeling his tank top from the online store for laughs and was open to Virgil's idea of turning it into a crop top so the father figure could be more like Winnie the Pooh. He was fine with all of those thoughts and possibilities, but he just didn't like seeing his stretch marks.

Jokes: the Way to Friendship
Desmond was odd, according to the other kids his age. He had no idea why the other kids didn't want to play with him or color with him. Did the other kids not like snakes as much as him? He wasn't exactly certain, so he just talked to his snake drawings and the stuffed snake he carried around with him like they're actual friends of his whenever it was time for everyone to play. The other kids even found it slightly off-putting when he would wrap the stuffed snake around his shoulders. He didn't see what was wrong with it since he liked to imagine it was his snake giving him a hug.

Hell Is Thicker Than Water
The town was consumed in an inferno. Those who were unlucky enough to be touched by it were screaming in pain and pleading for a mercy that they would eventually grow to learn would never come. A trail of bloodied bodies that were either dead or dying lead to the source of the chaos. He continued to walk slowly without a hint of remorse, as he looked around at the outcome of what he started; he knew the denizens of the town would make a bigger mess in a heap of panic, and he initially just gave them a push, but decided to have some fun amongst the chaos.

"Death of Me" Review
I have a habit of listening to Daughtry songs that I like over and over again, and the song, "Death of Me" is no exception. However, a random thought popped into my head: I once used the song as an audio for a video edit that mainly focused on a character in a web series who is known for basically being personified anxiety. After listening to the song over and over again several more times, I found myself thinking less of the video edit itself, and more about why the song was a relevant choice of audio.

Tinderella: Gay Edition
Roman wasn't sure if it was because he was lonely or if he wanted to have... physical experiences before settling down, but he found himself becoming a member on Tinder and was prepared to take risks for both goals. Don't get him wrong, he's a hopeless romantic, but, every once in a while, he hears his brother, Logan, make jokes about him marrying the first guy he meets like most of the Disney princesses he looks up to, so he really wanted to prove his brother wrong. Unfortunately for him, ever since he signed up for Tinder, he never really found a guy that he wanted to interact with.

Depths of Dan and Phil
Do you ever feel like you're obligated to know what you're doing in life the minute you turn 18? Have you ever been given the impression that you need to be extremely confident to be validated in life once you're an adult, and a struggle to have social skills like a "normal" person would just make you worthy of being shoved to the side like you're not worthy? Well, the dynamic duo that consists of Daniel Howell and Phil Lester are just the examples to prove to you that awkwardness and any types of struggles doesn't mean you aren't worry of current help/respect or a good future to look forward to.

I'm Sorry I Let You Down
Allan Crawford was running on the campus as if he was being chased. In reality, he received a call that one of his visitors, a student by the name of Emily Bennett, had an incident involving sinking herself in the pool usually occupied by the college's swim team all with the knowledge that she couldn't swim. He started with a professional composure as he received the call that she wouldn't be able to come visit him or go to her other classes for the day, but he didn't even go through the entire phone conversation before rushing to the nurse's office where he was certain Emily would be.

First Date Facade
Patton walked into the Asian restaurant and got a table after confirming that he had made a reservation. He sat down and wanted to make sure his outfit wasn't too messy. Why was he concerned? Patton had finally gotten a date with his crush from college, Logan Tesla, thanks to their mutual friend, Virgil Nimbus. Patton and Virgil were both in a Creative Writing class, while Virgil and Logan were both in Astronomy Club. Patton would see Logan in the halls or hear Virgil talk about him and the big-hearted angel couldn't help but freeze and smile. When Virgil told Patton he gave Logan his phone number, he became enthusiastic when the two started texting and eventually agreed to meet up and officially call it a date. He wasn't happy for too long since he thought Logan would be annoyed by his personality. As a result, not only did he suggest an Asian restaurant for the date and dressed in a suit and tie, but he studied a lot, which involved using textbooks, including a thesaurus for improved vocabulary and knowledge, decided against showing the dog pictures on his phone, and even thought of ways to avoid puns for the night. He has overwhelmed too many people during the first impression before and didn't want to do the same thing to his crush.
