localgrlruinseverything asked: I have looking for Alaska if you'd like to borrow it! It's my favorite book (so far in my life lol)

That would be wonderful! I finished Perks of Being a Wallflower, and I’m in the middle of Into the Wild now. I love both!

Cut my hair by myself for the first time ever, I’m still not sure what I think about it. I’ve been wanting bangs for awhile now though!

“You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.” Looking for Alaska, John Green (via sayyourdumbthings)

I need to read this.

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one piece of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.” Chris Mcandless, Into the Wild

Five hours down, four to go. I can’t wait to ride my bike later.

giraffe-in-a-tree: Eye contact with a Praying Mantis by B℮n on Flickr.Praying mantises are closely related to termites and cockroaches. The word mantis comes from the Greek word mantis meaning prophet or fortune teller. There is a well known myth that the female mantis will eat the male after reproduction. Studies have shown this is not necessarily natural behavior, but the result of being studied in un-natural laboratory conditions. Mantises are masters of camouflage, both to avoid being eaten themselves, and to ambush their prey. The natural lifespan of a mantis in the wild is about 10-12 months. The mantis can lash out at remarkable speed, prey are caught and held securely with grasping, spiked forelegs. Their diet usually consists of living insects, including flies and aphids. Larger mantises have been known to eat small lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, and even rodents. Mantids are found only on land in rainforests, dry forests, undisturbed and second-growth forests. Mantids in general are very harmless critters. They, in general, don’t attack human beings, instead focusing their attacks on prey items. As a matter of fact you can usually handle a wild praying mantis without any concern for a bite.
