Advocates of Manifest Destiny believed that expansion was not only good, but that it was obvious (“manifest”) and certain (“destiny”).

I sold all my furniture, packed up all my books, vacuum-sealed my clothes, and flew west for good. Now what?

    Getting to Know Tumblrs Better

    Reblog/ Fill this out so people know who you are.

    Name: meghan

    Nickname: meg/megs. a lot of people call me by my last name which makes me irate, outside of anyone i worked with at urban because they’re my little family. i’m not a last name kind of person, at least i never wanted to be.

    Tumblr Name: megmess, because it’s my name.

    Age: 23

    Birthday: december 19.

    Location: philadelphia, pennsylvania.

    Current school/job: affiliate marketing. last night i justified this to my mom/myself, proclaiming that i went to school for print journalism which is dying anyway.

    High school: panther valley high school. i’m pretty sure there’s never been an actual panther in the entire coal region.

    Status: single.

    Hobbies/Interests: baseball, history, constant wanderlust, singing, american literature, shopping, museums, good beer, watching movies, sleeping in, laughing at everything, writing.

    Random fact about you: i put butter on saltines. it’s the southern way, at least, everyone in my family did it when i was in louisiana.

    Do you smoke/drink: i drink socially. i get a little too drunk about 5x a year, so i’m almost at my quota.

    Favorite Tumblr blogger: oh, i don’t know. some people i follow because i like what they post, but some people i just like period and get really excited anytime they post because it’s a little window into their lives. i guess the latter group wins out most of the time.

    Why Tumblr?: because i’m lazy, even though i like to write, and i can post pictures of wrestlers from the late 80s-early 90s and everyone laughs with me instead of at me.
