I Know My Value
Going through a lot right now, good and bad. Waiting for something to happen--anything to happen--and hoping so hard that when it does, it will be something good.
Have some Peggy. Shoot by Cherry Cos and Photography.

Very Important! Donations Appreciated!
As most of you know, I am a member of a G.I. Joe costume club known as The Finest. We make costumes and dress as characters from the G.I. Joe canon and go to comic conventions or events and do photoshoots, and it is one of the most fun things I do--it's how I met so many of my amazing new friends and how I had the most awesome wedding proposal ( Read more... ) -

Roses Are Red, Violets Are...Oh, Screw It
Due to the fact that I still haven't figured out how to cram thirty-two hours' worth of activities into twenty-four hours, I didn't get my annual Valentine's Day entry out on time this year. But just in case anyone was worried, no, having a boyfriend hasn't changed me at all--I'm not crammed full of estrogen, I promise. For instance, this year, ( Read more... ) -

The Five Most Adorable Total Destruction Weapons
It's a common practice in storytelling to give the audience visual cues as to whether a character is good or evil, so we'll know who to root for. The first example that comes to my mind is the movie Gremlins. For those of you who never went to a slumber party in the 80s, I'll sum the movie up--the protagonist, Michael, gets a cute little animal ( Read more... ) -
Book Bash: So It's Come To This
O.K. troops, atten-tion.
*walks up and down the ranks like a drill sergeant* Listen up, team, I've got a question for you. Who here is sick and tired of Scarlett whining about her tumultuous little life and wallowing in heinous self-pity?
*tilts head arrogantly and smirks* Well, why didn't you say so? I am, too. It's a beautiful day outside, you ( Read more... ) -

"The answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle. They're on TV!"
It's Tuesday, and I'm trying not to explode in a cloud of pink glitter from excitement since this weekend is Comic-Con, the cancer walk and the day I get to eat sushi and frolic around in Galaxy Comics and buy everything I ever wanted. So in the interest of self-distraction, I stole this meme from plainrea, but unsurprisingly, all my favorites are ( Read more... ) -
NSV
Anyone who's ever dieted has heard the acronym "NSV". NSV stands for "non-scale victory" (you fit into a pair of pants that you could never zip before, an attractive man on the street says something flirty, similar)--something that reminds you that you're beautiful. I wonder what you would call a victory that reminds you that you're just plain ( Read more... )
