Introducing. Educating.






youmightfindyourself:

Urban legends, rural legends, folk medicines, you’ve probably heard about tons of such things over the years. True or, more likely, untrue events and cures which may, but probably don’t, have legitimate and verifiable scientific bases for capturing the imagination and curing medical symptoms. No, this isn’t a rant about people’s odd beliefs or half the shows on the Syfy Channel. It’s merely an introduction to the latest dubious medical craze in Indonesia. It seems folks in that country are intentionally trying to electrocute themselves on railroad tracks in the belief that it will cure various diseases, both mental and physical. It is a new trend which Indonesian government officials are trying desperately to stop before it causes a wave of accidental deaths. This railroad shock therapy started, as such things always do, with a rumor that a man who actually tried using train rails to commit suicide ended up having his paralysis and chronic depression shocked away by the electric current in the tracks. Although this miraculous tale cannot be verified, it has spread all over Indonesia and given people the courage to try electrocution by rail in order to cure everything from sleeping disorders to diabetes. In our book, this is just crazy stuff, and a greater risk to human life than the legendary poodle in the microwave. (Wall Street Journal Asia – Indonesian Rail Shock Treatment)

I have bad study habits.
And I have bad doing homework habits.
Maybe I have ADD.
Maybe.
Probably not.
Maybe, because I'm here. When I'm really interesting in what I'm reading, but here I am
typing about boring things.
Though, I want a WHOLE tree full of these lightbulb things.
how pretty would that be?
I want an inside tree for my bedroom now.
So I can hang these things.





SHARK WEEK!

HOW CUTE.


Ugh. I used to doodle and scribble, now it seems all I do is type and stare.
Where has all of the creativity gone?




I'm going to learn french. I'm not sure how yet, but I'm going to.
I'm going to find someone or someting to teach me french.
And I'm going to be bomb at it.
C'est La Vie.
Right?







I ask myself this everyday.






Emily Browning


Uhmmm. 
I think this is how the next Morgan is going to look.
cause this babe is hot.












Yesterday my cousin said to me, after seeing my tattoo, "Morgan. You're so crazy."


Maybe I am. I could quite possibly be crazy.
Or maybe, I'm just a free spirit.
I like that answer the best.






Oh my gosh.


So does anyone remember reading those Series of Unfortunate Events books?!


I just now, after intensive fifth grade or whenever googling, found out who Lemony Snicket truly was.


Daniel Handler.










Shit.


I think I might get a tumblr.


FUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKKK
