So I just wrote a completely nonsensical statement for my essay on Dracula and I felt the need to share it with all of you.

"Bram Stoker’s Dracula draws from many elements of vampirism, from folklore to history to literature, combining them to form an amalgamation of myth. "

Really? An amalgamation of myth?

I'm sure 'amalgamation of myth' would sound amazing to your teacher after reading twenty other papers, haha. I'll allow that it is a bit awkward though, it's kind of like the first two parts were spit back out, but more vaguely phrased. It'd probably pass if it was an introduction to a paragraph about vampire myth, folklore, and literature, though; I wouldn't fret too much over it if that's the case.

'Grats on the Tumblr :) If I had an account I'd follow you, sorry! But I watched that StrandBeest video? Let's both go present our resumes. Mind-blowing.

It's just a slightly nonsensical sentence. I'm sure my teacher won't care, it's not a writing class so the standard of the essays will probably be really, really low (I'm kind of conceited about my writing ability).

Ugh Strandbeest guy is so cool. His assistants must have so much fun welding.

It was a bit difficult to put together there, yes...also, I was hearing a former friend in my mind immediately critique by publisher's rules. :-P Aside from that, it's still an interesting sentence.

So, how does one find you on Tumblr? (tell me in a message).
