"And this little Pit Bull—this wiggly little bright-eyed beast ran up, threw her arms around my shoulders, and attacked my face with her tongue. But her arms weren’t just, you know, there. This was a full-on hug."

one more thing to have feelings about

"I’ll never find them again anyway, never, never, never, this is my home now"

My (totally normal/read the comments/I have found my oversensitive brethren) reaction to the song Somewhere Out There, ages 5 - :

  1. find a hiding spot
  2. curl up
  3. CRY PARTY

On my 13th birthday my parents gave me a musical jewelry box. “I wonder what it plays,” I thought. “Maybe something from Phantom!” (Cool kid. The coolest.) I suppose it was fun, in an evil way that I totally respect, for them to watch their newly teenaged daughter attempt to hold shit together at her birthday party. (And I still have it. Well played, parents.)

With my whopping 10 days off I didn’t finish painting the living room like I’d planned, mostly because I never started it. I also didn’t finish painting the bathroom (the tiniest room of the place, which was 95% done weeks ago). I didn’t even get around to painting the bathroom door, though I did remove the hardware and sand it down. (And I don’t want to overstate this, but if you are the kind of person who paints over hardware then I’m sorry, you need to burn alive to death in the fiery pits of hell forever and ever, amen.) I did watch three seasons of Torchwood, two of Walking Dead, and a half season of Breaking Bad (still deciding how I feel about it), though!

More people need to get on board with the Guess Who’s Secretly Drunk game, not the Whooooohahahahooooo Look At This Wasted Asshole one

Sure there’s an unending list of egg substitutes when it comes to vegan baking, but not for when you really want to throw something at the obnoxiously loud person slooooowly making their ridiculous-ass way down your street at 1am on a weeknight.

When I baked all those fucking cookies to give out, I imagined graciously handing them over while deflecting questions about where I bought such lovely things with assurances that no, they were baked completely from scratch! And then there would be some fawning and basking. Modest basking.

Instead it’s been more me awkwardly pushing cling-wrapped plates at people while laughing nervously and saying “they’re vegan and I hope you don’t totally hate them ha ha ha ha!” and them looking dubiously at the package, possibly checking it for cat hair.

Smooth.

Ask Santa

So silly and sweet and heartfelt and will totally put you in the holiday mood, even if making 8 batches that’s 16 dozen-ish cookies the night before just about beat it out of you!

I have some mandatory time off coming up soon (uh, ok by me) and am hoping to finally make a dent on my awwwful sunshine-y walls. I’d been planning to go all cave-like with some dark plums, grays, and straight up black, but my place has a ton of windows and gets a lot of light, so I don’t know how well I could pull that off. Oh, and it’s teeny. Should I go towards the light (another look I’m really liking lately)?
