END OF YEAR MEME, WHAT FUN
HOW TO: open a new text post and type letters a-z into the tags and take your favorite tag it suggests and post it out of context. this only works if you use tags as obsessive conversational add-ons like me, and if your computer saves the tags you’ve used before.
WHAT YOU COME UP WITH SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF REFLECTION OF YOUR CHARACTER. ENJOY.

“Stop fighting this,” e whispered, gently stroking a finger down the side of tumblr’s cheek. He flinched, but didn’t recoil as vehemently as e had expected, so he continued, rubbing soothing patterns onto the familiar blue skin.
“Don’t you see? We’re meant to be together.”
And maybe tumblr did see, deep down. But that didn’t...

Steven Colbert is talking about voice lessons on NPR right now, and it’s so true, everything he is saying, and my heart is breaking at the same time my soul is calling out to the experience. “Singing is like yoga, but for the inside of your body,” yes. I miss singing so much.
If I am going to be serious about this New Year’s Resolution bullshit, I have to, have to put...

I need someone who has been an adult for longer than I have to tell me if this year has been neverending shit, or if this is just generally what being an adult is like. Because if it’s the latter, well, I guess that fucking sucks.

I don’t know if it’s post-holiday letdown, or the end of a shitshow year, or what, but this week is definitely one of those, “Is this all there is?” sort of deals that make you want to crawl into bed and refuse to come out.
I have no idea how kelsium reads my mind and sums up how I feel before I can, but somehow she does all the same.

I had spent most of my life thinking that “following politics” was like being the sports fan who makes sure to watch every game her team plays and always wears the jersey on gameday. Yeah, I want us to win too, duh, but you know, does it really matter if I’m sitting there? I’ll check it out if they get to the playoffs or whatever. But now that the news is me I understand the value of a stupid...

There is basically nothing that has proven to have a better impact on early childhood education than two things: Head Start and public programming like Sesame Street. So tell me why they are the first things on the chopping block for the GOP every single time. Oh, wait, because they don’t actually want poor children to have the chance to succeed in school. That would be...

The double edged sword of being an adult is that you can procrastinate as long as you like. So there’s no one to come in and yell at you when you’re sitting in a pile of laundry reading a book instead of cleaning your room, but chances are that by the time you’ve even started cleaning your room you have just enough time to finish doing it before company arrives.

More dysfunctional family goodness.
Just bought $202 of waxing services for my little sister for Christmas. I waited 3 hours for it to be done, just walking around our little downtown in my small so-Cal city. I went into little shops, got a new dark grey hat and some New Year’s cards and bought myself a $7 glass of French red wine. Right now, I’m delaying a bath for the evening.

[tw for self-harm, gore, and—the Black family in general? it is…not a nice story]
Was rereading this the other day. It’s still really, really affecting, and one of the best examples of What Fandom Can Do, at least for me.
oh
I lost track of this piece of fandom two years ago. If you haven’t read this story, you need to. What Fandom Can Do, indeed.

It’s just not a Boppinrobin family Christmas without my sister’s mental illness wreaking havoc.
This time, it was about not being able to switch the television back from the BluRay to the cable so she could watch football. I stayed calm and cheerful even as she told me she wanted to slit her wrists because she couldn’t figure it out, that she hated us all and hated everything....

All of my east coast friends think that the concept of rice and mushrooms and sausage in stuffing is disgusting, to which I say MORE FOR ME YESSSSS. Growing up in California did wonders for my palate, people. I am the pickiest produce-eater I know.
Bread stuffing? LOL NO.
Anyway, the onions are male onions. Apparently male onions are...

Christmas! I got some stuff! Now we are waiting for cinnamon buns and sausage.
#M’s parents presented him with an empty box and told him it was to remind him of all the shit he already has. Holy Christ they are so fucked up
One Christmas, my parents gave me and my sister a Quicken print-out of all of the things they had bought for us over the year.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

[A24I2] Boppinrobin: Delay adulthood with rambling...
The money I owe to the government for college starts being due in February. Almost 10 years of paying off my undergraduate degree awaits me, and they’re estimating $7K of it is just interest.
Ugh.
One of my Facebook friends posted earlier about whether or not our college was really worth it. I don’t think so. I can’t chalk my entire collegiate experience up as a waste, because...

HOW. HOW is it that ONE GLASS of punch and 3 hours of intermittent talking and cheering at Trivia has COMPLETELY UNDONE TWO WEEKS of recovery from this cold? HOW?
Was it the diminishment of sleep? Like. I switched back to the 3-4 hours schedule. I just.
Serious angryface right now. I did not sign up for a relapse.
