questions:

1.       What song do you constantly listen to?

Wings by Little Mix. I was so proud of them when they first preformed it and it's part of what motivated me to decide I wasn't going to give up on doing something with my life.

2.       Who is your idol and why?

All around as a person: a tie between Audrey Hepburn & Misha Collins

As a singer: Judy Garland

3.       Have you ever held a grudge against someone for a silly reason?

I'm sure I have...bad memory here...most likely my parents for not getting candy or some such.

4.       What is your favorite blog on tumblr?

alliknownow, I like writings all those little "articles" (I guess you can call them that) that Carrie posts on this blog

tumblr (of course) tv (I'm boring) read & bake

6.       What is your most prized possession?

my claddagh

7.       Name one thing about yourself that you really like.

that if I see that someone is unhappy I don't give up til I've cheered them at least a bit

8.       Have you ever seen your favorite band in concert?

no, sadly, my favorite "band" is Simon & Garfunkel...so, no

9.       Could you survive for a week without your computer?

I'll have to survive 9 weeks without it when I go to boot, so I'd better. Really, though, if I've been off social networks for even a day, I have trouble getting back into them.

10.   Have you ever been outside of the state you live in?

Yes, I've been to a few other states, including Pennsylvania last year. I've even been out of the country a couple times.

11.   What made you come to tumblr and start your blog?

My best friend told me about polyvore and I joined that. Then, I saw a number of lovely pictures there that had been clipped from a blog here (on tumblr.) So, I went and checked out that blog. I wanted to continue following her blog so I made a tumblr to follow hers and here I am. I came here to follow one blog (which is still one of my favorites) and stayed for the fandoms.

  my questions:

1. How do you take your tea?

2. How would you describe the way you dress?

3. Have you ever felt like there was something you'd never be able to explain to your parents (not like fandoms or digging older men, something major about yourself or your life)? What?

4. What fictional character (tv, movie, or book) do you most relate to?

5. Where were you and what were you doing when the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 happened?

6. Do you have any interesting scars or birthmarks?

7. Do you think you have to find yourself or create yourself?

8. What is your opinion on the concept of online dating? Do you think it's a good (or better or worse) than meeting people in a more old fashion way?

9. What about adulthood seems the most daunting to you?

10. What are the top five places you most want to visit?

This is such a mentally displeasing image I thought it was hate at first! I gotta say, lovely prompter, I don’t think I have the heart for it. And definitely not for real person fic, which I don’t write anyway.

With Alex Day's new video, I'm not sure what political state to take here.

My best friend saw the video before I did and told me outright that she now feels that she can't go to conventions dressed as who she feels like dressing up as because she is fat. She isn't fat and she now feels like she can't dress as a character who is slim.

I can see where Mr Day's video is coming from, there may even be some satire involved, but to hear that from by best friend really hurt. I have now promised that if we ever go to a convention (And we will, trust me) that I will dress as either a sumo wrestler with the biggest costume known to kid or as a giant Pokemon so she feels comfortable dressing up as whoever she wants to be.

So I honestly don't know where I stand, only that I don't want my best friend feeling like she can't cosplay as a character because she's not as slim as other people. I actually teared up crying on my laptop before I had even watched the video because she admitted to me that she was scared. What was even worse was that we were talking about going to conventions on the way home from school today.

I got bored and I watched PJ's new video and this came into my head.

I then pointed out that Mum has been thinking I will come out since we were 10 so that isn't a big deal.

"Then come out as a Panda as I want one"

If they make fun of you, just channel your inner Dan and sass the fuck out of it. That or come tell me and I’ll do it for you.
