I'm Alyssa, a 25-year-old writer and computer nerd. I love books, video games, television, social media, and all things fantasy and sci-fi. I want to be Leslie Knope when I grow up.

"For in the end it is Middle-earth and its dwellers that we love, not Tolkien’s considerable gifts in showing it to us. I said once that the world he charts was there long before him, and I still believe it. He is a great enough magician to tap our most common nightmares, daydreams and twilight fantasies, but he never invented them either: he found them a place to live, a green alternative to each day’s madness here in a poisoned world. We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."
Peter S. Beagle, 14 July 1973, in reference to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings (via loucaltabiano)

every time this appears on my dash, I get sad again that I cannot have it.

There are times I wish I was a girl.

Want.
