That chick hiding in the back
This is the place where I just talk about whatever I want and reblog whatever I want. Enjoy! :D
Warning, there will be moments when I will blurb incessantly about Literature and character analysis. Sorry, it's the English Major in me; it's rather difficult to rein in. On the upside, there will also be the occasional pictures of books that I have read or will read.
Hey, guys! So, we’re all familiar with Cyberpunk and Steampunk, but there are so many more alternate histories/speculative science fiction genres out there! I came across this handy-dandy infographic and figured I could share a bit of these punk genres for anyone interested.
- Steampunk
Roughly covers the Western world during the mid- to late-19th century (ie: Victorian era, US wild west, etc.), and sometimes up to the Edwardian era.- Dieselpunk
1920s up through WWII, ending at just about the Cold War.- Decopunk
A cleaner, artistic, more “optimistic” version of Dieselpunk (same time period)- Clockpunk
Covers the time of the Renaissance (think da Vinci)- Atompunk
Cold War era, ie: the Space Race- Teslapunk
Derivative of Steampunk, but focuses on electricity rather than steam.- Splatterpunk
Explicit horror and gore- Biopunk
Biotechnology, genetics (part science fiction, part real life)- Nanopunk
Nanotechnology, sometimes overlaps with Biopunk- Cyberpunk
The granddaddy of them all: computer technology, the internet, hackers, etc.Others not included in the infographic
- Elfpunk
Fantasy-based, features creatures like elves and fairies.- Mythpunk
Mythology and folklore, includes urban fantasy.- Seapunk?
- Stonepunk, Bronzepunk, Plaguepunk

The Historic and Haunted Ghost Town of Bodie
The old mining town of Bodie, California is America’s best preserved ghost town. Dating back to 1859, Bodie is literally frozen in time and looked after as an historic park. The town is both authentic and mysterious, with original fixtures, furniture, and personal items in the buildings left untouched since their residents abandoned them.
Bodie abounds with legends of the paranormal, but none more famous than the haunted Cain residence. The man of the house had an affair with their maid. After being publicly disgraced, the unfortunate maid took her own life and reportedly haunts the house.
The Cain house is open to the public and has provided accommodation for park rangers. People have reported ghostly apparitions and strange music. Staying overnight in the house, park rangers and their wives have experienced paranormal events such as hearing strange noises, being paralyzed in bed, and seeing items move by themselves.
The most frightening legend of Bodie is a mysterious curse that follows many visitors after they leave the town. Allegedly, Bodie’s ghosts serve as guardians to the town’s property, casting bad luck and misfortune to souvenir hunters who take anything with them.
Each month, Bodie’s park rangers receive objects and letters from people who admit to taking items and beg the rangers to put them back. The letters tell tales of horrible incidents such as mysterious illnesses, car accidents, and even death. The rangers frequently speak of these accounts and assure the senders that the objects are always returned to their original places.
Hey guys, I have a great idea!

moon-lily asked: any news about that job interview from a while back?
Ah, that’s right! I haven’t heard from them, so it will probably amount to nothing; but I believe I did well. I’ll give them a call sometime this week though, since my finals are officially over. I had another interview this afternoon, this time for a Fall internship and by phone. Also wasn’t bad. The guy said that he and his organization will let me know if I got the job in the next week or so.
I probably won’t get the jobs I’m trying out for, but the important part is trying. At least, in my opinion.
Thank you for asking!
i may be annoying but at least i don’t write m-rated my little pony fanfiction

I don’t actually know who this is.
But from what I’ve heard, he says ‘Crickey’ a lot.Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter. He was an Australian wildlife expert and had his own TV shows, he died 7 years ago, while filming a documentary, when a stingray pierced him through the chest. He left behind his wife and children.
And yeah, ‘Crikey’ is his catchphrase. I loved this guy. RIP
HE DIED 7 YEARS AGO?! How old do I feel…
I remember the day he died…R.I.P Steve
Oh god no i’m crying :c he was my childhood
