I'm Just Gonna Say It!
Now, hear me out on this! I know I'm going to be in trouble after posting this. Big trouble! As in, if-you-see-this-guy-at-the-door-of-the-comic-con-don't-let-him-in kind of trouble. I know what I'm risking, here. My nerd cred is dangling by a thread, but my commitment to the truth of my nerdiness (nerditude?) is far too strong to just let this alone.

Silence; when you just get done with a workout and all you can hear is your heart throbbing in your ear with the ringing Silence; when you are staring at that third question for the fourth time trying to figure out what to write down for

Thor: Ragnarok - Movie Review
Thor: Ragnarok directed by Taika Waititi is the third cinematic solo outing for Thor Odinson (Chris Hemsworth), the Thunder God superhero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. The film centres upon Thor's cosmic journey through different worlds to prevent Ragnarok, an event of cataclysmic proportions that could spell the end of Thor's home world of Asgard by the actions of Surtur (Clancy Brown), an omnipotent demon as well as Hela (Cate Blanchett), a long lost Asgardian set to conquer and rule. Along with Thor, the movie sees the return of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) as the trickster god who as usual gets up to mischief and trickery, Hulk and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who finds himself in another galaxy as a gladiator champion to the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum). We also see the debut of Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) who is a wayward Asgardian warrior who adopts the "Han Solo"-esque lifestyle of working as a mercenary for the Grandmaster.

I'll Give You a Good Read
In preparation for a long road trip, I gave my mom the daunting task of picking out a book for me to read. She came back from the store with I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson, which ended up being the best book I have ever had the privilege to read. The book’s cover features a plain white background with one of the book’s best quotes written in bright, shiny colours, which foreshadows the vivid story that lies in the black and white pages.

Cigarettes
Each time I take a drag from my cigarette, my intention is to slowly fade your face out of my memory. I do it to forget all the time we had spent together.

The Games We Play
When you first called me baby, my stomach was punctured by Jacks. Pain and bruises fluttered on my skin as thumbprint butterflies.

8 Podcasts That You Should Never Listen to in the Dark
Everyone loves a scary story. We watch horror movies, read countless Stephen King novels, and subscribe to Reddit threads such as No Sleep just for that tiny, primal thrill. But everyone has a limit, a line that's drawn by the sliver of light underneath the bedroom door. The dark ignites all of our deepest fears, and listening to a scary story while swathed in it is liable to get you a ticket on the Nightmare Train. But if you're one of those people who relishes forced insomnia, here are eight podcasts that you should never listen to in the dark.
