Chicken Soup for the Bloggers Soul (and Stomach)

Image
I am currently eating chicken soup with a stack of Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on my desk. I have the first, second, third, and one on the 'Tough Stuff' which I got from my Aunt April. Now I am wishing my name was Bucky so when people called me over or something I could say If there was 'Chicken Soup for the Super Soldiers Soul' so that Steve and Bucky could read something together. That is of course only if (Angry at Infinity War Stuff). Oh the good old days of yor when everyone was alive. It's been two months so I hope i'm not ruining anything. SPOILERS AHEAD for INFINITY WAR! If I am supposed to feel bad for that square headed mutation of a grape then the Russo brothers can stick my not-sorry stick where the sun doesn't shine! Thanos can suck a lime!

You show your daughter you love her by giving her a hug or maybe emotional support, not by yeeting her off a cliff so you can add a...

Have you ever stayed true to your team, unwavering loyalty until you were all that is left of a once magnificent plane? The key clacks of a glorious battle still ring in my ears as I recall my time on https://shellshock.io I had heard about the game at school. My peers had a preference of playing this game rather than do their work. A dangerous game considering how close we are to graduation. I was at home while my mother was on her computer. I told her about the game, and she went to investigate playing as "Your Mom" (Yes, really). I quickly sat myself before my desk in order to join on the fun. Upon entering the website I equipped myself with a RPEGG (this game is filled with egg puns). Entering the first fight I figured out the controls, and gave some ominous one-liners. Quickly getting bored, out of lack of intellectually stimulating company, I moved on. Hopping from game t...

Tom Hiddleston Appreciation Time

What is beauty? Beauty is deeper than the skin. It reaches down to your soul (If you don't believe in souls then personality). Although no one is perfect everyone has their own beauty. Actually one person is perfect. Tom Hiddleston. 2018 Tom Hiddleston 2017 Tom HIddleston 2011 Tom Hiddleston My introduction to Tom Hiddleston was seeing him as Loki in the Thor movies. I saw a glimpse of him in Thor: The Dark World. It was on a weekend with my dad. I never really remembered much of what happened to me on weekends with him but that's a whole other story. Anyway, I didn't really remember it much but here is the part I do (sort of) remember . The second time I was introduced was not to long after moving into my mom's friend's house. She showed me and my mom the first Thor movie and Avengers . Here he is in the first Thor movie. He's so cute! I just want to keep him he is so cute! Even though he was supposed be the villain in this movie I care...
