So! I am a wretch who defaulted, and I am a little self-conscious about how much I've been enjoying the story I got. Here it is for you to enjoy, too.

Basically it is every single thing I had hoped for when I asked for a Kingdom of Loathing story, plus a few things I hadn't even thought to hope for. The writer just nailed the tone; its casual ( Read more... )

Dear Yuletide writer,

Hello! This is my first time participating in Yuletide, so basically I will be thrilled to get anything you write, because it was written for meeee. In case it helps you to have a more detailed picture of my interests and loves, though, there is more ( behind the cut! )

This is taxi's idea and it is a good one: if you post a comment on this entry I will choose an interest from your interest list and write a poem about it! It will probably be a double dactyl and will probably be juvenile or crude, but it will be a poem and it will be for you.

It is 5am and I am awake! This post is mostly a distraction for me and an effort to slow me to sleep, but I think it contains some loveliness for you as well ( Read more... )

Haha fuck, you guys, I was feeling overwhelmed with school stuff so I made a list of everything I have left to do; in list form it looks downright possible and not overwhelming after all, and now I am completely unconcerned. Instead of reading and writing industriously, I am playing internet scrabble. I am going to bed early and I am sleeping in ( Read more... )

I really love this video of Sufjan Stevens standing on a rooftop, singing an Innocence Mission song and accompanying himself with a banjo:

The part about it I love in particular is that it is cold outside where he is standing, and his fingers are probably frozen stiff, and so his banjo-playing is clumsy! I love clumsinesses; I find them endearing ( Read more... )

My oppression class was completely awful, worse than I had dreaded-I figured it was just going to be stupid, but instead it was an unmoderated three-hour discussion about bathroom rapists, and how it is unfair that black people can say "nigger" but white people aren't allowed, and the "black feminist hegemony" advocated by bell hooks (!), and how ( Read more... )

Internet. Summer is almost over and I didn't accomplish all of the things I had hoped to, but today I accomplished something greater!

I rolled a 3500m katamari in the elephant level of We ♥ Katamari!
