Is it bad that all I remember about July is crying over Patrick Ness’s Chaos Walking and social anxiety? I hope not. Why do summers gotta be the busiest, though?
LIST OF NEWSWORTHY
Summers
Summers are always kind of busy because sisters and relatives like to visit around the time so I’ve never really been a fan of the season. I mean, it’s hot and I just want to do my own thing so I was glad that it was Ramadan as it’s always a pretty quiet month for us and then Eid happens. Oh boy, I had to go out and meet people for five consecutive days and it wasn’t fun at all. I wasn’t particularly in the mood for it and was glad when it was over, ha ha.
Photo Project
I’ve been thinking about doing a photo each for the OT5 (from Maggie Stiefvater’s The Raven Cycle) and I started with Adam Parrish. Now I just need to find some glitter and brainstorm some more.
TV WATCH
All I remember watching is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., really.
I tried to watch Teen Wolf but man, I’m so over every season beginning with a death threat to all the main characters and then the whole season being about saving their lives. I will watch it for Stiles, though.
Suits is back and I do not like Mike’s hair one bit. Also, not sure how I feel about Harvey’s storyline.
I finally started watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and it’s amazing and I love everything about it except bloody Ward.
I finished season one of Daria and I really do not want my watch to end anytime soon. Sigh.
Finished Sense8 and whoa! More, please.
MOVIE WATCH
Ha.
- Home (6/10) – It was pretty childish and I didn’t particularly enjoy it. It had some funny moments, though.

PLAYLIST
I think July’s playlist is my favorite so far this year because so much awesome music.
RE: Teen Wolf – SAME. Stiles makes everything better, even the cheesy romances and death threats.
I’m also listening to your playlist and I’ve never heard of Hunter Hunted before but I REALLY like it!
Oh man, I haven't watched the recent season of Teen Wolf, and I don't really care to because I don't like seeing new people who are all white and boring.
YESSSSS. CHVRCHES. SO EXCITED FOR THEIR ALBUM. TWO MONTHS, SANA. TWO MONTHS.
FitzSimmons! OOOOOH I ship them so hard but shit keeps happening that keeps them apart and aaahghghhgh. And Ward. Ugh. I like to believe he has redeeming qualities. I'm still a skyeward shipper somewhere deep inside but he has been a dick and I would understand if those two never happen. I just have a sliver of hope. Just a teeny tiny bit of hope.
About Teen Wolf, I'm still watching it but not with as much enthusiasm as I used to watch. I think the dread doctors are super interesting and creepy though. I don't like Malia. I feel like they're making fun of her and making her super dumb for no reason. I don't know if you saw that car scene? With Lydia and Kira? That was just stupid. And unnecessary. They try to portray her as strong and loyal but they ruin everything by making her so dumb.
I'm definitely not a Ward fan either and a big Fitz-Simmons shipper!
I'm not really liking this season of Teen Wolf either (most of the seasons are all blending into one for me) but Stiles and (I must admit) Liam are making it up for me. AND LYDIA. I'll always love Lydia.
