Lizzie VS. Thursday?!?! But I have the same level of discovered-you-in-high-school feelings for those two characters!

BLERGH.

Mary commented on the post, Middlemarch Madness IV: Ninth Bracket Poll 6 years, 10 months ago

I’ve been choosing pretty easily all along, but this week’s bracket was harrrrd. I’m sure the final one will involve a lot of hand-wringing.

Mary commented on the post, Extreme Close-Up in Slow Motion: Living With Social Anxiety 7 years, 2 months ago

Thank you for writing this post, I related to so much of what you said. I go through anxiety flare-ups and then periods of time where I’m more okay, and I just went through a bad one, so a lot of this really spoke […]

This year I stayed up until midnight to start writing! I got 1500 words down in the first hour of the first day of NaNo and it was really fun. :)

Oh, I would definitely be buying Daenerys. :D

I agree, they’ve chosen a really great actor and I think he’s definitely up to the task of portraying the Doctor.

Did he really hem and haw about it, though? I kept seeing a quote from him that basically […]

Oh, I would definitely recommend The Hour! It’s such quality TV and really gorgeous cinematography. I agree — nice to have an older Doctor.

Mary wrote a new post, Twelfth Doctor 101 7 years, 5 months ago

It has now been one week since the identity of the Twelfth Doctor was released. Has it really only been a week? I guess a week is a long time on Tumblr. In any case, we now know that Peter Capaldi will be playing […]

Haha! So you’re one of the lucky ones who gets a summer off for their job? That’s super awesome and I so envy you!

Mary commented on the post, Glasses, I Do Love Thee 7 years, 5 months ago

I adore my glasses! Most of my female co-workers seem to have dropped their glasses in favor of contacts, but I just can’t do it. Not only can I not get those things in my eye, I just like the way my face looks […]

Mary commented on the post, Life Without Summer Vacation 7 years, 5 months ago

Haha, really? Here’s my advice: savor your weekends!

Mary commented on the post, Life Without Summer Vacation 7 years, 5 months ago

Oh, man. It sounds like this isn’t something that goes away. That’s the one thing that was attractive about a teaching position: free summers!

Mary commented on the post, Life Without Summer Vacation 7 years, 5 months ago

Haha!! Or suddenly you’re re-thinking that whole grad school thing. ;P

Mary wrote a new post, Life Without Summer Vacation 7 years, 5 months ago

In general, I have been pleased with my post-college life. I was able to find a job that actually utilizes my degree; Iâ€™m still at living at home, which keeps living costs down; and school writing assignments have […]

As someone else said, The Nerdist podcast has some great interviews. The Tom Hanks one is amazing! :)

Mary commented on the post, A Serious Case of Harry Potter Nostalgia 7 years, 8 months ago

That’s true, at least Pottermore is still out there. Truth be told, I’d rather have a Harry Potter encyclopedia from JKR, but I guess Pottermore will have to do. :)

Mary commented on the post, A Serious Case of Harry Potter Nostalgia 7 years, 8 months ago

Wow – so weird! This is the first time that I’m really listening to the audiobooks. When I was younger, I didn’t really have the patience to sit through them. I’d rather just read the books myself. But these are […]
