Since I know you were all dying to know, last night when I got home, the second package with the other two dresses I ordered had arrived, so now I have three dresses to choose from. I like one of them - it's got 3/4 length sleeves, so I will probably wear it tomorrow - and the other one makes me look like I have feathers, so that one will be going ( Read more... )

So I am kind of getting excited about The Amazing Spider-man despite myself, because PETER PARKER IS MY FOREVER FAVORITE SUPERHERO and Martin Sheen is Uncle Ben. Sadly, it seems the midnight shows are on Monday night, not Tuesday as I anticipated, so I guess that's out.

So this morning at Starbucks, the lady wrote Virginia instead of Victoria on my cup. Then one of my co-workers called me Veronica. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. There are only, like, FIVE common names that start with a V. WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO GET THEM RIGHT ( Read more... )

I am trying to write and writing is hard! Wah!

Also, I need new Avengers icons: Natasha! Steve! Steve and Natasha! Natasha and Clint! Bruce and Tony! Tony and Pepper! Thor! Thor and Steve! Does anyone know a good source?

Also, also, links you might not have seen:

Remix authors have been revealed, so I will officially claim my four stories, though I think anyone glancing through the list would have been able to pick them out even without reading:

Our history is just in our blood (history, like love, is never enough)
Captain America (2011); Steve/Bucky; g; 4,880 words
Steve is sure the guy working the ( Read more... )
