icon: "intrigued (a photo of a snow leopard with ears flattened, peering intently over a log)"Back in early November Evelyn had told me that the reason they couldn't be with me was that it was too stressful for Quinn, and that Quinn felt somehow inferior to me and didn't want Evelyn to be with me. Evelyn has since told me that they told Quinn that ( Read more... )

icon: "ewwwww (a photo of me making a disgruntled/disgusted face)"I hate it when people say 'hi' to me. It does not convey any meaning except 'pay attention to me now' and you're not even explaining WHY you want my attention. I hear 'hello' either as meaningless noise or as an irritating demand. Just go ahead and talk ( Read more... )

I had been trying to write that relationship update post for 4 days, but I was so mentally wiped out by the stats project that I've been working on that it took until now (after it was finished and then I had about 24 hours of sleep and brain-rest via silly shows) to be able to get started.

Naboo’s history told through the eyes of the Gungans would have been ( Read more... )
