Does anyone know why there are three tiny picture-frames below each of my Tumblr entries? This is getting annoying.
callmecayce replied to your photo: After the link I posted last night, I quickly made…
no, but the hunger games isn’t written for children, either. tweens/teens aren’t children.
Definitely, but in this piece, Adults Should Read Adult Books, Joel Stein (maybe satirically) seems to believe that young adult equals children’s/middle grade/juvenile. It’s all “See Spot...

Adults Should Read Adult Books →
Joel Stein’s a comedy writer and I’m not going to respond with a ranty blog post because I think that would be an overreaction; I just want to know how I should read this article. It would be important to know for when I write a response (probably tomorrow). Is it supposed to satire or is this a serious opinion piece?

I’m late, but in my defense I was on planes much of the last five days.
So a quick prefatory comment: I’m quoted on the back of The Hunger Games for nice things I said about the first book in the New York Times Book Review when it came out, so obviously I like the book. Back then, I remember…

– Passage I just read from Specials, by Scott Westerfeld. It amused me, considering I read right after celebrating my team winning a soccer game.
Possible Minor Hunger Games spoilers
I want to do a whole character study on Foxface. I don’t remember her from the books much but she, despite being a very minor character, struck me in the movie. I don’t know, I guess she was the one Tribute who I saw as innocent down to the core. All the others, including Katniss and Rue, were willing to kill, directly or indirectly, in order to survive.
Foxface, though, almost every...

This is why Ben & Jerry’s was invented, I’m pretty sure.

you are so adorable and sad and it is hard to stay angry at you when you have had your heart broken so.

Step 1: Write about people who aren’t white.

You will very rarely see me curse, tumblypoos, but…but…I mean, what the fuck? How is this even possible? This reads like an Onion article.
To be clear, it is now ILLEGAL to teach de la Pena’s novel (which I’ve read…

Arteta’s free kick was from further out and had plenty of power, but you cannot take a better free kick than Bainesy did today. You just can’t.

DEAN DID GIVE HIM SOME ADVIL THAT ONE TIME. GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIME….
I am far too attached to Cas to be unbiased but yes. Also Jenson Ackles and Misha Collins together redeem even the worst scripts.

Cas is not the same without the trenchcoat.
I hope he’s not without it for long.

so fucking spot on and relevant to some feelings I’ve been having.
(via fatfashion)
Why do so many people not understand the nature of “free speech”? Oh, I’m sorry I called you out for being an asshole but that isn’t a violation of your civil liberties, okay? The first amendment does not: 1.) protect you from public backlash and 2.) obligate anyone else to provide you with the means to spread your message.

I know my parents are all “make sure to apply for jobs close by!” but the truth is I want to leave Tulsa and I just don’t have the heart to tell them. I mean, I get that I’m probably going to be in Tulsa for a while but eventually I want out. And I want them to believe that I’m self-sufficient on things like finding a good storage unit to keep my stuff in until I get...
I need some advice from the internet
Not really, but I’m going to ask anyway.
So remember that Unitarian church I went to a couple weeks ago? The one I was interested in being a part of? They sent me this letter with some more information. They have these classes geared toward people who a new to the “liberal faith tradition” (quote marks aren’t mocking, that’s just the exact term the letter used) and...
theupstart13 replied to your post:
Speaking of Blood Red Road! I’m still planning on reading it based on your recommendation. I ended up reading Ashes which was also quite good (guess who’s on a YA dystopian kick?)
Ah! I hope you like Blood Red Road when you read it; the action pretty much never stops through the entire book! Ashes is on my to-read list as well, though right now I’m...

So I was always a “Deangirl” or whatevs but I just saw Castiel’s introductory episode and sweet lord, I’d forgotten all the feelings that magnificent angel of the Lord made me feel. And I don’t mean emotion feelings, if you know what I mean.

Anonymous asked: Swoodilypoopers vs. Everton. Who would you root for?
comethroughkaleidoscope asked: Before the chants of insanity start, what was your inner reaction when Bainesy listed Peanuts above Jags on the "top five best players I've played with" question? Because I IMMEDIATELY thought of you when Lucy tweeted it to us.
101110 asked: what everton player do you want to marry (ONLY ONE NO POLYGAMY)? what works of fiction should everyone read? how tall are you? what's the best thing you ever wrote? are you sticking with your plans you were making? do you like the x-men? what color is your car? do you like it or ddo you want a different color? do you have weird dreams if you eat before bed?

Can I go on an Everton rant now?
I mean, Macca only mentioned about 709 times how Moyes was wrong for rotating his squad and prioritizing Saturday’s game against Sunderland so I thought I’d just say (after I shout, for the 21st time, “SHUT UP MACCA”): is the problem really Moyes underestimating the importance of the derby, or is it fans overvaluing the derby?
I admit, I hate losing to Liverpool, but I...

I saw it on Tumblr. It didn’t have a source, but it was so well written and there was a picture and stuff.
also in my melatonin-induced dreams—
I am now able to separate dreams from reality.
My old work cell phone (which I was forced to hand back over when I was laid off): in my dreams I always use that phone to make calls.
Last night I had about three false awakenings in a row. That’s scary because I was wondering if I was ever going to wake up or if I would be stuck in this dream...

Someone in my dream told me to get over my fear of giant killer worm/spider hybrids with claws.
Hell no, that’s a completely rational fear.
Or did I forget to mention the killer part?
