Led by the child who simply knew →
The twin boys were identical in every way but one. Wyatt was a girl to the core, and now lives as one, with the help of a brave, loving family and a path-breaking doctor’s care.

It’s 4 am and somebody needs to explain why I decided to drink coffee at 8pm and why Lilly married James and not Snape.
These things (literally) keep me up at night.

Tired of Being Tired →
Whilst I would never suggest my syndrome is a ‘woman’s issue’ (especially with a dad that has M.E.) this little fact here:
“Chronic fatigue syndrome is four times more likely to affect women than men”
really makes me want to say a lot of stuff about disrespect for the fatigue we live with, for being told ‘oh it’s that time of the month!’, for being...

Is it possible for the dialogue in Merlin to get any more homoerotic? Do they do it on purpose so all the slash fan-fic writers will squee.

*The Geek holding Bloom*
Him: Why is she crying?
Me: Because you're holding her.
Him: *to the dog* Why you crying!
Me: Because you're holding her! She's an independent lady! She doesn't need to be carried!

if i was to write a YA novel it would not be a romance. it would be an anti-romance. it would be about how school girls interact with each other and how messed up it can be.
it would have to have a period scene, because WHY in no YA novel i have read do they not talk about how messed up it is coming to terms with having your monthly cycle? it would have girls who like girls and girls who like...

I Am Now Able
I am now able
to sleep twenty hours a day
The remaining four
are spent
telephoning a list
of important people
in order
to say goodnight

I just got done re-reading the Twilight saga so I can finally write my goodreads reviews.
Misc. thoughts: Stephanie Meyer really likes the word ‘nebulous’ and Edward holds his miracle baby just twice in the whole of Breaking Dawn. Priorities.

squashed:
I could probably clarify that my views toward OWS aren’t as clear as support or not support. Imagine you have an exceptionally drunk friend. He’s a bit out of control. You probably help him if he needs it. You might even back him if he starts a fight. You’re not sure he’s making healthy decisions…

i broke my arm
Or rather the jackass van driver who crashed into me sending me spinning into the path of a tractor and eventually crashing into a lamp post, broke my arm.
Left arm. 2 bones. Surgery to fit 2 metal plates to hold said bones together. A whole world of pain. Lots of liquid morphine. No feeling to my thumb and part of my hand. 3 weeks into term.
You know what sucks? Having to force a digestive...

Watching my home town, my heart burn to the ground. Watching the streets where I did my growing up, my learning, my loving, watching them filled with greed and fear and utter lawlessness. Hearing ignorant political commentary from (largely) white people in suits. My heart breaks.
There are complicated socio-economical issues at play. There are gratuitous examples of mob mentality and...
