I’m done trying to fit in / And be half forgiven / For things that I never did / We’re more than what scares us / We’re final and fearless / We’ll dance where the ice gets thin – Matt Nathanson, "Giants"

 | Little Fox Made by QueenOfDorks @ DeviantArt {12.28.2013 – 00.00.0000} I’ve had this wallpaper for about three years now simply because I think it’s adorable. Will this be the year I change it? Who knows. It’s going to be difficult to find a replacement for it. |

| Fall Out Boy. I doubt this will ever change. The expectation of a new album will not change this in the next year. I'm already loving what they've shared so far. | Saturday Night Live. This is the only way I’m maintaining my sanity. I also like going back and watching old sketches. | Colin Jost. Required a separate entry from SNL. For some reason whenever watching Weekend Update I have this uncontrollable urge to run my hands through his hair. ...that’s not weird, it is? |
 |
 |
 |
| Kelly Clarkson. A new album free from the restraints of the American Idol contract. Kelly did what she does best this year. | Christmas. I swear. I got really into it this year. More so than in the past few years. I am sad the decorations have to come down soon. | ----- |
