Molli Quotes Things

Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.
Voltaire

Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law.
Voltaire

I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things.

C. S. Lewis

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
C. S. Lewis

OH HEY.

LOOK! LOOK OVER THERE!

No, don't look. There isn't anything. (Or is there?) (No, there isn't.)

So, I haven't posted in months, and I'm here to tell you why: I didn't have an urge to. I only blog when I really really want to, and I didn't feel like it. Sue me.

Okay, that's it, really. I'm in England right now, chilling out and being sick - side note: antibiotics taste like crappp - and I'm heading to Italy tomorrow for 2 days...because I can.

Dear god, I'm a bitch when I'm sick.

Okay, then. Keep on keepin' on,

Highways

Why is there always another side? Why does there always have to be a counter-argument?

Take highways, for example. Are they good or bad?

They allow people to get from point A to point B clearly, they're generally flat and easy to drive on, plus they're safer than dirt roads. Those are all positives - but that isn't the entire story. Creating, maintaining, changing highways are all environmentally damaging. There is always a ton of traffic. Garbage lines the sides.

So here are my non-rhetorical questions for the day: Are highways bad or good? Are there anythings in this world that can be classified as either bad or good, evil or just?

New Song Thing

No more...
Feelings.
No more...
Hopes and dreams
No more...
Secrets
No more...
Everything you need.

Cause I'm stepping back
I've just gotta let it go
It's isn't real anymore
there's no need to make it show

I don't need anymore
of the pain you put me through,
but I'm sure that you know
it's not really about you

This whole
situation
gets me
to keep on pacin'
and I
naturally
can't keep up
happily

No more Feelings.
No more Hopes and dreams
No more Secrets
No more Everything you need.
No more Hardships
No more Wasted time
All I know is
I'm gonna lose my mind.

The Spelling Of My Name

A short little post about my name. Enjoy!

------------------------------------------

A few years ago, I was going through a point in my life where I thought everything I did was the stupidest action in the history of forever. I would constantly say to myself "Why on earth did you just say that?" and "Did you really just open that door that loud?" and "Wow. It took you a week to finish that book? You are such an idiot." And that's how life was for me.

During this time, I read something about how what you are called defining you. It was a religious thing, and it seemed kinda stupid at the time I first saw it, but after a few weeks I found myself going back to it, slowly giving it merit. I didn't want to change my name, no, I liked the name fine, it worked well for me, but I felt the need to personalize it just a bit more, so I dropped the "e" off the end.

I liked the change a lot, and still do, and I'll tell you all now: your name is a HUGE part of who you are, and if you don't think it fits you, CHANGE IT! People do it everyday. I did.

Alright guys, happy Thursday.

Keep on keepin' on,

Starkid's 30 Day Challenge in One Blog Post

I can't ever commit to anything, so I'm going to do a 30 challenge in a blog post to ensure it gets done.

...The logic works in my head...

AND ALSO: This is PRE-STARSHIP. But there will be Starship answers. ALSO, WARNINGS FOR SPOILERS***********

ALRIGHT. STARKID'S 30 DAY CHALLENGE. HERE WE GOOO.

1) Fave Starkid Production: I honestly can't choose. My default is AVPS, but I do love them all with the depths of my heart.

2) Fave Male Starkid: Brian Holden literally makes my knee's weak. (A.J., Joe Walker, Darren, and Joey Richter are fighting it out for second.)

3) Fave Female Starkid: Devin Lytle. She plays Cho Chang and Mrs. Cooter and is hilarious.

4) Fave AVPM/AVPS character: Remus Lupin. He has all the best lines.

5) Fave Starkid Song: Oh god. Uhm. I really like Status Quo, and Life, and loveee Not Alone and No Way. So, one of those.

6) Fave picture of Darren:

7) Fave Joe (or Joey): Joey Richter. With his jaw. Of Awesome.

8) Fave line in MAMD: "No, she hates me." "Oh, that's certainly possible."

9) Fave line in AVPM: "My name is Draco Malfoy. I am a racist. I despise gingers, and mudbloods. I hate Gryffindor house and my parents work for the man who killed your parents - do you want to be my friend?"

10) Fave line in LWL: I just let the kiss stand on it's own.

11) Fave episode of the Potion Master's Corner: Why didn't you accept my friend request??

12) If you could request any movie for Starkid to do a musical on, what would it be and why?: This is a really awesome question. I would love if they did a Threequel for Potter, but other than that I really, really enjoy and want more of their original idea's. (Though.... Serenity and Firefly isn't a terrible idea.)

13) Fave Lang brother: YOU WANT ME TO CHOOSE? WHAT KINDA PERSON ARE YOU?

14) Which Starkid would you marry: Brian Holden in an instant. Or Joey. Or A.J. Or Darren. Or Joe Walker. In that order.

15) AVPM or AVPS: Uhhhh, uhmm, err....AVPS.

16) Joe Walker as Voldemort or Umbridge: Commander Up. Even as an emotionally-stunted, half-robotic, no-balls, depressed Starship commander, that guy is freaking smokin'.

17) If there is a third part to AVPM, what do you think should happen: Also a fantastic question. Maybe dealing with them when they're older, or maybe Voldemort had a son.

18) Why do you love Starkid: Because they believe in themselves, and they believe in us, and they make me want to be the best person I can - even if it's only to make them proud. And, Joe Walker is nice to look at. But mostly the first one.

19) Do you call them Starkid or Dikrats: Starkid. Cause.

20) Dumbledore or Rumbleroar: 10 points to Dumbledore.

21) What do you like of LWL: I loved it, but I love the other stuff more. Honestly, I think it's the lowest on the list for me, but the par was so crazy high, it was still freaking awesome.

22) Brian Holden. Care to comment: Please sleep with me. This is an open invitation.

23) Funniest AVPM character: Either Ron or Draco.

24) Fave Snape line: "This is ABBSURRDD."

25) A Starkid GIF: Here are some cool ones. http://joemosesfans.tumblr.com/post/5253340663

26) Did you expect Dobby to be Draco's father: Not until a few seconds before. Makes a lot of sense.

27) Do you apply Starkid references in your life: To many to name here, but I do use "absurd" and "calculus was tough" a lot.

28) What are your thoughts on redvines: What the hell can't they do?

29) Fave photo of Joey:

Finally, 30) If you could ask any Starkid a question, who would it be and what would you ask: Well, I was gonna say Darren Criss but I've already had the chance to speak to him (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWUxjjQvWZ4 -- I watch this every time I get upset, btw), so instead I would just like to ask Brian Holden if he ever expected the community to get this large and if he as any regrets.

Alright. That is the 30 Day Challenge. Imma go tweet at Starkids now.

Have an awesome night,

Keep on keepin' on,

A Song to Jam To

Just a very, very fast five sentence post. I just wanted to update you guys on awesome songs, so I figured should let you know about this song called "Turn Me On" by Lelia Broussard. I've been listening to it for the past six hours (with the exception of Glee). You should listen to it. And the artist is in this competition to be on the cover of Rolling Stone, so you should vote for her (go down two posts and rate her five stars on the "This Chick is Awesome. Vote For Her." post).

DO IT

Facts About Molli (3)

Let's get it onnnn.

Top three websites used?

Youtube, Facebook, Fanfiction.net. Twitter, the Ning and Hulu are after that.

Pets?

Two lovely little horrors named Toby and C.J.. Siamese cats, half sisters.

Klaine or St. Hummel?

Wha-what kind of question is that? Who the hell is shipping for St. Hummel? KLAINE, IDIOTS.

Do you want to be a Starship Ranger?

No, I just want Joe Walker.

Speaking of Glee, did you buy the Warblers album?

I stand by the fact that it's not a Warblers album, it's a Darren Criss album. Don't deny it! It's true! And yes, I got it off iTunes, because Darren makes my life.

Lastly, what are you listening to RIGHT NOW?

"Hips Don't Lie" by Shakria is the last noise I heard. It's the jam.

Okay, guys, as always, you can leave questions in comments.

I'm Done, I'm Done

I stood there, awestruck. The shattered glass had hit two feet to my right, but hadn't touched me. Sam was staring down at his hands, looking like he didn't know where they had came from. I took a step back, and put my hand against the wall of our apartment.

"Miriam-" Sam started.

"No." I turned and walked into the bedroom. I grabbed my duffel bag from the closet and started dumping the first things my hands snatched up into it. I heard footsteps coming closer, but didn't look up from what I was doing. A slow groan came from the door as it was opened.

"Miriam, please, I didn't mean-" Sam moved closer to me.

"Get the hell away from me. Get the - my god, where is my wallet?" I started to zip up my bag. After some doing, I threw it over my shoulder, and headed out of the bedroom, toward the front door. A hand caught my shoulder.

"Miriam, baby, please. I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. It's was just a little fight. Come on, baby, put the bag down. You know you'll regret leaving tomorrow morning." Sam motioned to get my bag, but I jerked away from him, my blood starting to boil. '

"I'll regret leaving? Sam, no. I'll regret staying with you this long. I'll regret letting you stand that close to my vase, but no, baby, I won't regret leaving. You've given me nothing but complete and total shit for the last six months and I'm done. I'm done dealing with your mood swings and fits of uncontrollable anger. I'm done with your excuses and I'm done with your partying. Have fun being lonely, douchebag." I ran out the door, mumbling I'm done, I'm done down the stairs, hearing someone call my name a floor above me, wondering why I hadn't done this ages ago.

Haitus

Well. That happened.

I really don't know how to explain myself, but there were some problems with my account. But I'm back, a month later, and very, very sleepy.

Quickly, though, I'm going to post a movie clip. People seem to love them, and they are very, very infrequent, but I thought it would be a way to start making it up to you.

Alright, I gotta go write the movie clip.

Keep on keepin' on,

SORRY

Yes, I missed BEDA day 2. I'M SORRY. I was so tired and didn't have time to post. I will make it up to you but adding an EXTRA topic to talk about tonight: the Wrock concert I went to last night. <3 <3

Alright, kids. I'll see you in a few hours.

Keep on keepin' on,

And So We Begin and Posters

So, we're starting off with, not only a late post, but a SHORT one! Woo-frikin-hoo. But, because it is not yet midnight, I still qualify for VEDA. So yeah.

I've been on edge all day. I have had a timer set on my phone for 23 hours just waiting. All during classes today, you would hear me mutter things like "8 hours and 23 minutes, oh my god" and "come on, only five minutes until we break into the next hour". What was this for, you ask? I'll tell you.

So, ten days ago, Mike Lombardo, one of my favorite people, posted a video that, in part, said that there was an ebay auction for Driftless Pony Club and the Mike Lombardo Trio poster (designed by Karen Kavett) that was signed by all the members of both bands. This was amazing luck. I had seen DPC and the MiLo trio a week before in CT at The Space but because of the sheer length of the concert, I had to leave during DPC's set and never got there autographs. So when I saw this all I think is "this is a message from god." So I promised myself I would try to get it.

Now it's today, the last day of the auction. I've been waiting all day, and since it was the 3 hour mark before the auction closed, I literally didn't do anything but check ebay. I had a high max bid and currently was the top bidder but was still nervous. It came down to the last 15 minutes, and I almost had some sort of episode. I look back on it now and...well, no. I was going to say that it was ridiculous, but to tell you the truth, i think it was completely normal fangirl behavior.

So, two minutes, still the highest bidder. One minute, still going strong. Thirty seconds. Fifteen. Ten. Five. One-wait. That wasn't the bid I put it! I bit 51 dollars, why does that say 66?

Well, it turns out that someone in the last second had bid 65 dollars in an attempt to undermine me, but the automatic bidder got it in the last second, bidding one dollar higher and making me the winner. I could have cried.

So here I am, riding the waves of victory and pure joy, post-talking to Mike Lombardo on Twitter (holyshit), being amazed at the awesome. It's a feeling I think a lot of people take for granted. When I got back from that concert those weeks ago, I told my friend that it was the best night of my life. She rolled her eyes and acted as if that was *such* a teenager thing to say, and I guess it is, but that night really was the best night of my life. But, more on that tomorrow.

Tomorrow's preview: The Space concert and why I was absent from Nerdfighteria for so long.

Hey, this blog wasn't short at all. I don't know why I wrote that.

Pre-BEDA

So. April starts tomorrow. If you didn't know.

That means BEDA. Blog EveryDay in April. Which I will try to do.

Maybe.

A bit.

It will probably be a bit random in terms of blog types. I have a lot of cool ideas but not a lot of time so things will be put off.

Also, I'm sorry to say, but for BEDA the "What's Coming, Molli?" box will be suspended, as you know new things will be here everyday and each will be a surprise.

Also also, there are a ton of really really cool blogs to also read this month, two of my all-time favorite blogs being:

http://italktosnakes.blogspot.com/

and

http://hayleyghoover.blogspot.com/ ...although I don't know if she's doing BEDA. She has in the past though.

So, I'll see you tomorrow, I guess.
