the fire, of course, is you.
So, I like to think I am a pretty sane person. I (obviously) love being fannish about things, but I can also, shockingly, spend entire evenings with friends without busting out the nerd too hard (well, depending on the friends!) As much as I joke, I've never genuinely operated under the delusion that fiction is reality, or that I am secret ( Read more... ) -
these are the fables on my street

I also saw Submarine and it was super-adorable. Definitely worth seeing, I say! It won't change your life but it will improve ( Read more... ) -

YESSSSS you guys today I got a definite position hostessing at this classy-as-shit restaurant that is a 10-minute walk from my place, allows me to wear fancy dresses, and guarantees unbelievable tips (according to the manager, who is the nicest, friendliest person of all time in the entire world...and we have similar senses of humour).

"no passing out of, what, sacred calamari?"
Wow, guys. Today I did ALL OF THE THINGS.
1) Read half a novel(la).
It was Stephen King's Rage, and it was the final half. I started it on Friday and it made me laugh out loud more than I would care to admit. He just nails high school; it's almost terrifying. Some of the shit in this hit so very close to home (not Charlie Decker's bits, don't ( Read more... ) -

It begins in September, which would be perfect, and still allow for me to run around making money and traveling about Europe in the summer. This is exactly the type of position I always wanted to apply for when I was still in school, but 1) I was still in ( Read more... )
