Rrrrrrgh
Thought I had work today, so I hauled my butt out of bed and made myself presentable and drove over only to find I’m working tomorrow and not today.
Currently drinking a pot of tea by myself and sulking. This is adulthood, right?

George Washington: Would use a simple template and dedicate his blog mostly to his farm work; what crops are doing well and what grows best in what soil, and where to get the best beer in the country. It’s not a terribly active blog. Accidentally became tumblr famous. He’s also annoyed because the only asks he gets are political ones, and he’d rather keep his blog politics-free....

48 years ago a girl said “oh fuck me” to her best friend while walking in the street, a guy who randomly passed by answered by “let me at least buy you dinner first”. I present to you my grandparents, in love since then and celebrating their 47 years of marriage today.

I am in Maine right now. At my grandmother’s house, where I guess I will be spending the summer. That’s a little odd.
And I’ve gone and forgotten my journal. Which is annoying.
I do have a job, though

Maureen Johnson: The Gender Coverup →
disgruntledenglishmajor:

Author Maureen Johnson had her twitter followers create gender-flipped book covers for well-known books to demonstrate how female authors are often taken less...

Bradley: I was playing football once and it was just after we’d finished season one and this guy, this defender, crunched me. Just you know, just tackled me quite ferociously and it took me a while to get off the ground and as I did he went, “WHERE’S MERLIN NOW?” and I thought, this is where it begins. This is where my life ends.
Colin: Then I just poked out from behind the corner, “Forbearnan!”
Bradley: He then was, you know, obliterated into an ashy pulp.
Colin: He died.
Bradley: Cheers, Colin.

Good things happen to bad people. 47. One day, every person I have ever loved will die and the only option you have given me is to just sit by and watch it happen or hope I am the first to go....
