I have been in all-day training all week, and today we are finally done, and I am feeling so deliciously free! FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I have also been doing a fair amount of media consumption lately: Mr. McK and I watched Avatar: The Last Airbender, which I ADORED SO MUCH OH MY GOD I LOVE IT I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT IT, so I will probably have ( Read more... )

Thank you, anonymouse, for the adorable sugary bunny! I was having kind of a rough day on Friday, so that was exceedingly well-timed. ♥ ♥ ♥

Also I have VERY EXCITING NEWS. I opened up my email last night to discover that JEFFREY FOUCAULT IS GOING TO BE HERE ON THURSDAY, along with an artist named Anais Mitchell. OMFG! I had no idea! I don’t ( Read more... )
