"Boomgasm?!" you say. "WHAAAAAAA?" All your questions will be answered if you check my Memories. ;)



I'm a senior at the University of Wisconsin — Eau Claire where I'm once again currently trying to finagle out of landing in academic probation. Majoring in writing, minoring in stargazing.

Occasionally I find time for my hobbies, like entering formal-mud-attire beauty pageants.


(And for anyone who remembers the mudwrestling extravaganza this pic is from [easily 100+ people for those who weren't there — we actually had the cops called on us after the first hour]... That was ME. Seriously! It was me and like four other people and I started grabbing people and tossing them in the mud. If you were there, you're welcome!)

Some adored quotes:
    There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.
    — Albert Camus

    Progress, then, as I see it, is to be measured by the accuracy of man's knowledge of nature's forces. If you examine this sentence carefully you will observe that I conceive progress as a sort of process of disillusion. Man gets ahead, in other words, by discarding the theory of today for the fact of tomorrow. Moses believed that the Earth was flat, Caesar believed that his family doctor could cure pneumonia, and Columbus believed that devils entered into harmless old women and turned them into witches... You and I, knowing that all three of these distinguished men were wrong in their beliefs, are their superiors to that extent.
    — H. L. Mencken

    The scientific impulse seems to me to be the very opposite of the religious impulse. When a man seeks knowledge he is trying to gain means of fighting his own way in the world, but when he prays he confesses that he is unable to do so. ... The feeling of abasement, of incapacity, is inseparable from the religious impulse, but against that feeling all exact knowledge makes war. The efficient man does not cry out "Save me, O God". On the contrary, he makes diligent efforts to save himself. But suppose he fails? Doesn't he throw himself, in the end, on the mercy of the gods? Not at all. He accepts his fate with philosophy, buoyed up by the consciousness that he has done his best. Irreligion, in a word, teaches men how to die with dignity, just as it teaches them how to live with dignity.
    — H. L. Mencken

    Man has had to fight for every atom of the truth, and has had to pay for it almost everything that the heart, that human love, that human trust cling to. Greatness of soul is needed for this business: the service of truth is the hardest of all services. — What, then, is the meaning of integrity in things intellectual? It means that a man must be severe with his own heart, that he must scorn "beautiful feelings", and that he makes every Yea and Nay a matter of conscience! — Faith makes blessed: therefore, it lies.
    — Nietzsche (...as translated by H. L. Mencken. Yes, roll your eyes, roll them...)
