Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. For the record, it’s my least favorite quality. It doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.

I have no idea who made my sidebar gif, but I feel like it describes me well. Let me know if it was you.

So I always meant to do one of these but I never have, so here we go.

Hi! Pleasure to meet you. *shakes hand*

I am Courtney Rose, 24 years old and I live in Chicago. I have a bachelors degree in English Literauture with an emphasis in Victorianism and I minored in Women’s Studies. Currently I am going to school for my Masters degree in Library and Information Science, and I’ll be graduating in May! Whooooooooo! I also work part-time as a bookseller in a bookstore. 

Generally my blog is filled with British comedy, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Doctor Who, and other assorted things. I want to be a comedian or comedy writer one day, so a good 60% of my posts are going to be down those lines. 

Much like Vince Noir, I am a happy sunshine person. 

I also have a strange obsession with pens and stationary/notebooks. I love them. I also collect shot glasses from around the world (so if you live somewhere cool, send one my way). 

In my spare time I read a ridiculous amount, write quite often (usually personal essays) and I make collages for fun. If you want a collage from me, I would be happy to make and send you one. 

So say hello. Get to know me and let me get to know you. Let us start a love affair of epic and friendly proportions.
