Just finished (20 minutes to spare) and got my (not actually complete) novel validated. 50,100 words. There’s probably about 30k words left of plot, and who the hell knows when I’ll get them finished, but at […]

I’m NaNoing for the first time. I’m already convinced what I’m writing is total crap, but damnit, I’m gonna write a novel.

2,124 words so far, and I’m going to try to write a little more before […]

…..I laughed.

I love your gifs, and just stole all of them.

Happy Birthday Week, Persephone!!!  I love this site like you don’t even know.  I first came here after hearing some recommendations during the Jezebel-hey-let’s-post-rape-video-images, and I haven’t looked back.  […]

That’s my kind of diet right there…  :)

That. Owl.

Want.

Christian diet?  WTF constitutes eating “the way God intended?”  No shellfish?

Also, I love that Dumbledore gif.

Sadly, I have no gifs for sharing.  :(

So, this last week at work has been fun.  And by fun I mean not actually fun.  Monday, we had an in-service, which was nice.  Until the afternoon when we had a lockdown […]

Hey, this is cool!  I was told by my principal in 2011 that I should not teach Brave New World anymore, and it’s in the top ten for that year!  I’m a trend!

Not actually cool…

I’m really sad that it’s not been good so far.  The whole premise is one of my favorites-modern human types having to survive without the technology we’ve been raised with.  I’m really fascinated by […]

5. Mean Girls
“Boo, you whore”
4. The Princess Bride
“You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means.”
3. 10 Things I Hate About You
“I want you.  I need  you.  Oh baby, oh […]

This woman literally called up a friend and told him she’d dance on his grave if he died?

I think that pretty much proves Dr. Laura is a terrible human being.  As if we didn’t already know.

A great article an old Poli-Sci professor of mine posted on […]

Yup.  That looks just like me while PMSing.  I wear dark, loose, drape-y clothes and I eat continuously for days.  You are not even remotely alone.

I don’t think my mother has ever actually lied to me, and I do genuinely appreciate that fact.  As you mention, though, she hasn’t been 100% truth 100% of the time, and I think that’s fair.

It’s been pretty […]

Thanks!  I got the numbers wrong, but it was the Lisak & Miller study I was thinking of.

Request!  So, a few (many?) months ago, I saw a study in which about 1 in 7 or 1 in 8 men would admit to acts of rape as long as the word rape wasn’t used.  Anybody familiar with this study/know where I could find […]

1. OMG adorable puppies.

2. Bookshelf.

I have nothing really constructive to say, but I enjoy puppies and bookshelves filled with books.

You are a Kansas Citian, yes?  I have my windows wide open and the […]
