His Dark Materials

It’s been over a month since the season finale of His Dark Materials, but I’m still not over it. I can’t move on. I need to talk to you about it. I want to connect, to see if you have similar feelings about the series. First off, let me confess, I haven’t read the books….

Now Playing: Florence + The Machine – “What Kind of Man”

There isn’t much more I can say about this song that hasn’t already been said. In fact, I think I’ve pretty much said it all. I have come to a realization, though. You’ll think it overly simple, but I don’t think I’ve ever said it out lout before. So, here it goes: This is one…

Reacting to My First Post

On June 28th, 2010, I wrote my first post for Kim the FanGirl. It was an introduction of sorts, an initial explanation of what I hoped Kim the FanGirl would become. I didn’t talk about myself or who I was. I didn’t explain why started the blog in the first place. I just wanted to…

Puzzled

I started a puzzle a few weeks ago. I thought it would be fun, considering I haven’t purchased a puzzle since 1997. It was a true-to-size poster for the film Titanic. Not only that, but it came with three additional puzzles, as well. They were screen-caps from the movie. Yes, if you need to ask,…

Mr. Music

I was scrolling through Netflix – you know, as you do – when I saw that John Mulaney had a new comedy special. I’ve become a pretty dedicated Mulaney fan within the past year, so I decided to check it out. Admittedly, I knew ahead of time that this was a different kind of special….

Once Upon a Time, I Was a Poet

I was looking through my writing folder, searching for a few “works in progress,” when I randomly decided to click on the folder that said Poetry. I really wasn’t sure what I’d find. As I scrolled down the list, I noticed that the dates on the folders were more than a few years old. It…

Now Playing: Sara Bareilles – ‘Armor”

Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard we try as women, no matter how hard we fight, we’re still in the same place as we started. It can feel like we’ve made no progress at all. They tell us we’re not smart enough, pretty enough, or talented enough. They make us feel like we’re…

Everything’s Gonna Be Okay

As you know, it’s rare for me to tell you about a new show right away. I’m always late to the party, usually discovering shows when they’re in the second or sixth season. Sadly, I’m not very good at watching a show as soon as it comes out. I’m a bit of a procrastinator that…

In the Woods

Flower crowns and flowy gowns. Enchanted forests where witches prowl and growl. Birds trapped in cages and love songs sung from broken rib-cages. This is where I choose to spend my time, with a songstress made of heartbreak and rhyme. Honestly, did you really think I could go this long without talking about Florence Welch?…

CUPS

It’s common among nerds and fangirls alike to have a coveted collection. In fact, it’s common for most people to purchase and maintain a collection of some sort. Some collect plates or action figures. Others collect ticket stubs or celebrity signatures. Whether it be of sentiment or value, once we begin to acquire multiples of…
