There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams—not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way. No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.

THE MILLION DOLLAR VACATION: MASTER POST

Okay, so for some of you, this is all review, but if you’ve never heard of “The Million Dollar Vacation” before, you’re in for a real treat!

In sixth grade, I wrote what I was sure would be my best-seller. Fourteen-year-old Poppy Chrysanthemum Malone lands a role as “one of the main characters” in a hot new movie called The Million Dollar Vacation, set to film in Hawaii, where her sister Iris conveniently lives! (For the record, she has two other sisters named Daisy and Lily. See a pattern?) 

Also in the movie is Poppy’s bland best friend, Delia, named after my favorite clothing store at the time, a hot boy named Logan, who was a complete ripoff of Logan Reese from Zoey 101, and ultra-evil antagonist Peara Bedskirt. 

But Poppy isn’t like other girls—she has a LOT of fears. And, in addition to filming this dumbass movie, she needs to overcome those fears. This means flying in an airplane and also rescuing a small child from a shark attack, among other things.

And of course, there’s love between Logan and Poppy, even though I had very little concept of what a relationship is

Also, there’s this gem that is basically the truest thing I’ve ever written.

If you feel weirdly compelled to read this, I posted it here on Wattpad under a fake account and it has more reads than most of the stories on my real Wattpad account. 

Please enjoy.

Today in History: May 16th, 1770 - Louis XVI of France and Marie Antoinette of Austria are married

A fourteen year-old Marie Antoinette and fifteen year-old Louis were married to form a political alliance that was supposed to stabilize often hostile relations between Austria and France. Although the marriage was always said to be amiable, Louis was very shy (it is also rumoured he suffered from phimosis, something royal doctors already stated in late 1772) and the marriage was not consummated for seven years. However, in 1778, the first of their four children was born, also the only one to survive past infancy. The couple was executed during the French Revolution, 8 months apart, after 23 years of marriage. After the death of her husband on January 21st 1793, Marie Antoinette went into deep mourning, refusing to eat or exercise. She was executed on October 16th, 1793. Their bodies were thrown in an unmarked grave. In 1815 their bodies were exhumed, and the couple is now buried at the Basilica of Saint-Dennis, a northern suburb of Paris.

(I feel obligated to point out that 3 of their children survived infancy. Louis Joseph was 7 when he died, and Louis Charles was 10, so they were well past infancy)
