I feel as though this comic more or less sums up my fannish life for the last year or so. Still, I like feel like I'm inching my way back in. :) I'm on Twitter a lot these days, and I've been reading tons of fic. My pinboard has gotten a lot of action, and I'm tumbling all the things (mostly teen wolves and gerard fucking way, tbh) . I'm all ( Read more... )

Because it is a perfect spring day out there y'all. Sun is shining, lovely dashing cool breeze, grass is growing- really, in my yard!
