Hi, I'm Kelsey! I am currently a senior at Illinois State studying Spanish Teacher Education and TESOL/ESL. My academic/research interests are in the education field, Spanish/foreign languages, curriculum, and content-based instruction in both ESL and foreign language classroom. I also love sociolinguistics, I find it fascinating!

In my spare time, I like to read anything I can get my hands on, work on my novel(s), draw/sketch, and listen to music.

Some of my favorite tv shows are How I Met Your Mother, Sex and the City, Glee, America's Next Top Model and True Blood. I listen to A LOT of music; I listen to mainstream pop/rap/hip-hop songs, Broadway musicals, Glee songs, Disney songs, and I like My Chemical Romance, Lady Gaga, Panic at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy.

Some book series I enjoy are (of course) Harry Potter, the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, the Pink Carnation series by Lauren Willig, anything by Chuck Palahniuk, and classic novels. I love Jane Austen!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog! :)

GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER CAROL

The Water Gardens ~ Dorne

“Beautiful and peaceful,” the prince said. “Cool breezes, sparking water, and the laughter of children. The Water Gardens are my favorite place in the world, ser. One of my ancestors had them built to please his Targaryen bride and free her from the dust and heat of Sunspear.

THE ALHAMBRA. :D

I have pics of all of these places in the Generalife and Alhambra from my own trip there. Most magical place on earth. Most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Bar none.

quotes from my sister

1) “I like secret boxes. You never know what’s inside them.” - referring to Kingdom Hearts 2.

2) “That fucking bird attacked my head! All I wanted to do was get into the garage and it hit me five times!” (me: *laughing*) “COME ON I’M SERIOUS!”

3) My sister’s friend: “I want to go to Belmont University.”
My sis: “Where’s that?”
Friend: “It’s in Nashville.”
My sis: “Why would you want to go all the way to Texas?!”
(proof that our education system is steadily failing.)

things that George RR Martin needs to close/clear up in ASoIaF

1) Who will take the Iron Throne. [obviously] I like to prescribe to the theory that Daenerys and Jon will get married. It gets a little complicated if you also prescribe to the theory that Jon is Rhaegar and Lyanna’s child because then they would be cousins. But it would make sense in my mind because they need to make the Targaryen line more heterogeneous, and also because…be prepared for your mind to be blown…then the story would literally be the Song (or Story) of Ice (Jon) and fire (Daenerys). BOOM.

2) Following that, what is Jon’s real parentage? I think he is definitely Lyanna’s child. Without a doubt. “Promise me” could not mean much else. I still don’t see any indication that it is Rhaegar’s child, but it makes a lot of sense. But who knows, GRRM might just be like SURPRISE and his dad will be effing Tywin Lannister or something.

3) [spoiler] Is Stannis Baratheon actually dead? We didn’t see him die. Only Ramsaymotherfuckersnow saying he was. There was no evidence. Is Jon going to die? If he becomes a white walker, I’ma white-walking my way out of this series.

4) [spoiler] Will any of the Stark children ever find out that their mother is a mute zombie? Arya has been literally so far out of the loop I assume she has no idea where Sansa is. Obviously they all believe Catelyn is dead, but will she ever find some way to tell him that she is actually (somewhat) alive? Or will she just let them keep believing she’s dead because it would benefit them more?

5) I think without a doubt Nymeria is going to come back sooner or later. Maybe the Hound will find her and be like SURPRISE I HAVE THE WOLF. You never know. GRRM is a crazy man like that.

6) Will Jaime/Brienne get together? Because it better happen and or I am writing a strongly worded letter. Or if Arya/Gendry don’t get together I will just throw my book at a wall.

7) Who will take the seat of Winterfell? I’d like to see it be Arya or Sansa both because they are complete bad-asses. Fo realz. But who knows, maybe Rickon will do something that actually makes him a present character versus just hanging out in the background.

8) Will anyone ever find out that Gendry is Robert Baratheon’s child? And if they do, will Gendry find himself having a claim to the throne? His would be kind of legit because he’s an heir in King’s Landing and actual offspring versus the incesty ones.

9) People I hope/think are going to kick the bucket: Cersei, Ramsay, Stannis, Melisandre, one of the Stark children, Jaime. Other random minor characters no one cares about will die along the way. Just please don’t kill off Davos, Arya, or Tyrion. I just won’t handle it well.

10) [spoiler] Um…so…what are they going to do about Aegon Targaryen now existing? Is Dany ever going to find out about it?

Yeah, George, you have a lot of work to do. I hope they’re each like 1200 pages.
