Me: "My professor says I have difficulty staying in one tense when writing my research study."
"Hmmmm..."- my editor, probably.

That 20 minutes of panic and existential dread at night before the sweet bliss of anxiety pills kick in.

Dollar General had a 3 for $1 sale on notebooks so you know what that means-- more unfinished horror stories!

I am a Spike/Buffy - Angel/Cordelia fan❤️❤️

The more stressed I am, the more I watch Angel. I've now gone all the way back to the Buffy days. I also need your opinion: Angel or Spike?
Debate.

Sometimes you just need to be regulated by the comforting youtube videos from your favorite fandoms. Tonight, my brain is feasting on lovely Angel and Cordelia fanvids from 15+ years ago. Heaven.

Watching 30 Days of Night and it occurs to me what bothers me about some vampires: stop wasting blood. 5 second rule applies to blood splatters too. (yes i know this isnt from that movie but there are way too few 30 Days of Night gifs)

The Haunting is an underrated classic.

Hi, I'm Kelly Martin. I am a hybrid (but mostly indie) author. I write spooky ghost stories and haunted house books.
The Vampire Lestat is my favorite book.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is my second favorite book.
I see similarities...
I use too many em dashes which is probably why AI stole them.

Y'all ever watch Penny Dreadful? After my IWTV dream last night, I went on a(nother) Penny Dreadful kick today and it so has my heart. Ethan Chandler-- my sweet boy (OK, so spoilers I KNOW this isn't exactly him here, but there is a criminally few gifs of Ethan Chandler)

I dreamed last night that I was Claudia on Interview with the Vampire TV show and Lestat and Louis locked me outside my coffin because I ate the wrong person.

I thought Justus was the name of the train robber and I thought that was the most poetic thing ever.

Not a cell phone in sight.

Anybody else just randomly think of Lara from Paranormal State and hope she's okay?

Ahhhhhh!!!!!

I believe in Joe Hendry, but does Joe Hendry believe in me?

Good morning. Dreamed I was Damon Salvator's lawyer last night. It was weird, but I am not complaining

Anyone else think a young Oliver Platt looks like a young Sebastian Stan? No? Just me?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am not saying it is healthy, but I get why people punch walls now.

listen, there is only so low you can lower your expectations.

The older you get the more important the kick the can episode of The Twilight Zone becomes.

It's a Flatliners kind of night.

I am on a Rachel Hawkins reading kick.

Have you ever heard that there are no straight lines nature? I've always heard that, but I wonder if it is true.

Part of me is glad I'm not famous (hear me out) because I'm watching the live stream for The Met Gala and it is making me so nervous. How do these folks do it?

ouch

My cat just threw up on my dog and, with that, I think it is time to go to bed early.
