the sad thing is, most of this story is actually true.

Terrible news:

I was driving my poor (mostly) blind mother to the bank today (don't feel sorry for her; as will soon be revealed, she's an awful person and doesn't deserve it) and we were chatting happily about tater tots and Jeopardy and asbestos - you know, normal mother-daughter stuff - and out of nowhere she says, "I do like the way you wear

MAGIC. KITTENS. CORPSES. <3 <3 <3

I wear glasses with chunky black frames, listen to obscure bands, and have multiple tattoos, one of which is a jam jar. Also, I don't drive. As much as I would like to claim that I am not a hipster...

[tricksterquinn]

...tell me of your jam jar, if it is not too horribly rude of me to inquire!

I got it last April; Betty Rose at Red Rocket did the tattoo & pollums did the art for me because she's the best.

Awesome!!!

I love that mother-daughter communication that allows phrases like "that thing people call you that you hate" to be instantly translatable.

Your Master and Moriary analogy is PERFECTION, as are your thoughts on Molly Hooper.

We do have that wonderful familial psychic bond that allows us to understand every criticism, no matter how subtle or obscure. ;)

No, I'm joking. I mean - no, I'm not joking, that's exactly how it works, but she doesn't really think I'm a hipster. She was just messing with me.

I hope.

(I was, of course, the one who told her what a hipster was in the first place. She kept interrupting me, saying, "Oh, so just like you, then?" and I was like, "DON'T MAKE ME BRING OUT THE BABY BOOMER JOKES, WOMAN. I SHALL HAVE NO MERCY."

We have a really strong relationship.)

Johnlock is unsightly! Smushing names together rarely looks nice, although I love giggling when it makes funny puns (Kock [Star Trek] being my favourite example of this, Peeniss [the Hunger Games] coming a close second).

Martin Freeman possibly appears next to the dictionary definition of "cute".

For no. 23, your response reminds me of Martin Freeman saying "Fuck you, I won a Bafta". :P (It was terribly funny.)

This meme was hard enough to read. I can't imagine it was anything less than excruciating to fill out. And even though I'm having a fun time rolling around in Sherlock feelings and my entire Tumblr queue is pictures of Benedict Cumberbatch's face, when I remember that around this time last year I was impulse buying tickets to the Tate/Tennant Much Ado About Nothing and then subsequently planning a ten day trip through England, Wales, and Scotland so as to justify flying 3,000 miles to see a play, it kind of puts it all in perspective, you know?

(TBH, the only question here I wouldn't have to think twice about would be: favorite Who episode. Because Human Nature/Family of Blood will always be my favorite episode of any tv show ever.)

(But he's probably faking it. The bastard.)

I would say too soon, but pft, I lol'd.
