𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗧 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗨𝗧.. Once she digested the situation and held on tight to the moonlight, she took to her body and danced it all out. She screamed to the skies and the ✨ stars, she sang from the deepest of her lungs 🎶 she moved to the rhythm of the clouds that were being led by the wind. We who are here, we who are strong and bold. Decisions have to be made for you. LOVE … I choose love. I choose Me. The sounds of the howling wolves 🐺 on top of the mountains we climbed. We’re resonating to the beat of the drums 🪘. She was excited that she would be close to the ocean once more. Waking up with the sun and her bare feet in the sand. To meditating syllables of salt water. Heart ♥️ open in the space. Love from Brooklyn today and Florida tomorrow.

Also ramjets are super cool. Look it up.

[knotty-pated-fool]

Ooh, hey, thanks @eattodefeat! 

Rules: answer these questions then tag twenty blogs you’d like to know better

Nicknames: Ever since I was a kid, my family has called me Boo. Now it feels odd when one of my siblings calls me Mary Kathleen. My dad sometimes calls me Boodle the Noodle or Puddle-Wuddle, which are both relics from my toddler-hood. 

Zodiac: Sagittarius

Height: 5′4′’ (and three quarters! so I’m basically like 5′5,′’ ok??)

Favourite band/artist: Disclaimer--I basically have 0 taste in music and if anyone wants to send me album recs, please go for it. HOWEVER, I do love the band Gaelic Storm. It was a huge part of my childhood! We always went to see them at the annual Three Rivers Irish Festival. I also really like Barenaked Ladies. 

Song stuck in my head: I was listening to a playlist of old pop hits this morning, so I was humming American Boy by Estelle on my way to work. 

Last movie I saw: Hmmm. I was watching a lot of horror movies for Halloween and I think the last one I saw was Suspiria! Recently I’ve been making my way through Star Trek: TOS for the nth time--it’s very soothing to me for some reason! Nothing horrible ever happens, at least not so horrible that it can’t be resolved in one episode. (However, it is cringe-level sexist sometimes.)

Last thing I Googled: “best bad jokes.” I love trading horrible puns with my boss. Before that was “yeah sex is cool but have you ever heard of phonology?” because I goofing off in class sending my friend linguistics memes.

Other blogs: Yeah! I have one for all my fandom related junk: Marvel stuff, Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, HP, etc. 

Do I get asks: Never gotten one! But please feel free ☺️

Reason I chose my username: ‘knotty-pated fool’ is a term taken from Shakespeare’s Henry IV, when Prince Hal is talking shit about Falstaff. I am not a lit person by trade, but my mom was an English major and I inherited her love for Shakespeare (we are seeing Much Ado About Nothing on Saturday, as a matter of fact!). 

Following: 122

Average amount of sleep: I am a college student, but I am fairly religious about getting 6-8 hrs a night. It helps me keep my mental health issues in check (along with therapy and meds, among other things!). The meds I’m taking sometimes give me sleep disturbances, which results in the world’s most horrible and boring anxiety dreams. Last night I dreamed I had to take an AP English exam on a book I’d never read. 

What I am wearing: Boots, black jeans, and a sweater

Dream trip: London, Ireland, Prague, Dubrovnik, Istanbul, Amman, Cairo

Favourite food: Squash soup. Right now, though, I’m so pumped for Thanksgiving break coming up and all I can think about is sweet potato casserole and pecan pie. 😋

Play any instruments: My mom plays violin and piano, but her main instrument is the viola. I did both violin and piano as a kid, but then fussed about it till my mom let me quit. As an adult, I wish I had kept up with it. I tried to pick it up again over the summer, with limited success. I never learned to read music fluently, and that’s been the biggest thing holding me back. However, I was in choir for many years, and I love singing while my mom plays. 

Eye colour: blue-gray

Languages you speak: English and (intermediate!) Arabic. (Anche--ho studiato italiano per tre anni nel liceo.)

Hair colour: dark blonde

Most iconic song: Esperanza Spalding--The Radio Song

Describe yourself as aesthetic things: A sunny, cold day in November. The first big snow of the year. Blue velvet. 

um...how bout...
