Father: [looking over with a you-are-in-my-personal-space frown] Have you brushed your teeth today?

Yes, actually, but I shall go drown myself in mouthwash for your personal comfort anyway. Thanks ever so.

It is amazing how no matter how old and self-confident I get (I wear actual shirts now, instead of twenty-four hour hoodies), I still feel ( Read more... )

I cannot get this song out of my mind. And I don't even KNOW all the lyrics, so I just end up humming the chorus over and over.

Christ almighty, that leather getup she's wearing. *knucklebite*

Talked to my dad! Well, had a text conversation with my dad. It looks like he's going to cover me for the rent money.

If anyone wants me, I'll be over here, quietly melting into a puddle of relief.
