Reasons that don’t explain why I need a significant other:
To carry on my lineage. (Don’t want immortality.)
To have kids. (Don’t want kids.)
To care for me. (I can take care of myself.)
To complete me. (I am whole.)
To lower my blood pressure. (Yoga or sunshine works just as well.)

To figure out my stance on sex.

Shhh, I’m playing hide and seek.
I’m very good at not liking myself.
Maybe I’ll just keep hiding until I forget who I am.

Creepy to the max. I wonder if this will actually give me nightmares.
BUT STILL REALLY COOL.
For those of you who aren’t aware of how SCP’s (Secure, Contain, Protect) been getting around: there’s two games out SCP-087 and SCP-087-B, the latter of which is played through here. They’re horror games, and the latter is said by some to be worse than Amnesia. The game’s...
Welp, 1 hour is over, and so are many fascinating...
A heartfelt thank you to anyone on and off anon for actually making this a wonderful experience for me.
A special thank you to eternityinaday (and skeesaurs!) for mildly-hilarious and mildly-guilt-trippy commentary from the sidelines.

Awesome nature sounds generator.
you can choose any combination of sounds you like - for example, fire + wind in leaves + forest birds - and click “Export to file” to save it on your computer.

I’ve been reliving too many moments of the past week where I’ve regretted the things I’ve done or the tiniest mistake in the flow of conversation.
This is not healthy. I need to read East of Eden again.

I am not hoarding honey tangerines in my backpack. There’s only one so far. It’d be hoarding if there were more than three of them, and that’s only because they don’t belong in a backpack. If they were in a refrigerator, it’d be even more before we call the hoarding police.
Honey tangerines are the seasonal exotic fruit at the dining halls. The next best thing is...

I hardly ever do this, but it’s important to me. This is for one of the organizations at UCLA called Writer’s Den.
If you’re a writer or a reader or anyone who appreciates the arts, I hope you keep reading and you take a minute to help us out.

I PRIDE MYSELF ON BEING ABLE TO READ CATS REALLY WELL. THIS IS KIND OF PATHETIC AND ONLY BACKGROUND INFORMATION. THE POINT IS, I CANNOT READ SCOTTISH FOLDS. THE EARS, GOD DAMN IT. THEY DON’T MOVE IN THE SAME WAY.
Photography archive, yes, I do have 60% of it back...
I keep considering painting actors for practice, and then feel like a total creep whilst looking for suitable photos.
And yet I reblog tons of them. Hi hypocritical self.
Also anyone who tells you that art makes my wrist act up is right, but if they tell me that I should stop arting for that reason, they’re a dirty traitor.

…if a friendship was going south, we could just say, “I don’t want to be your friend anymore.” Or, “We’re just not the same friends we used to be,” and then we wouldn’t have to waste our time guessing if something went wrong? Or spend a lot of time worrying about it, and certainly not mentioning it to the person because that’s a weird social...

musingsofthebigboo asked: sorry for offending you. the term "asexual" is being thrown around a lot right now at Tino. It's like the new "Forever Alone", and I think it's stupid to call someone who is shy "asexual". My friend group falls under that category.

musingsofthebigboo asked: introduce me to someone who's asexual and I'll introduce you to their hormones.
For the record, I may often be too blunt, but it is bad manners to tell someone that’s sad/depressed that they should cheer up.
Making their problem about yourself isn’t going to help anyone.
Let’s take inspiration from Steven Fry and think of it as bad weather that will eventually clear up. If you’re not enough of a friend to stay with them through the rain, stop telling...
Why Libraries Again...?

From: http://www.metafilter.com/112698/California-Dreamin#4183210
I’ve spent the past year and a half of my life in library school, and about three years before that working in some capacity in rural, suburban, and urban libraries, and currently I’m currently at a cross-road in terms of whether or not I want to work in public libraries. There’s a constant state of fear and malaise...

Get to level 5 in German (AND to a level of proficiency where I can freely read academic papers?!) with no lower than a B grade
Two years of another Slavic language

If I just go for a Masters, the only requirement I lose is the 2 years of a other Slavic languages.

Faculty and flagship luncheon today. You know...
And yet despite this, you’re not put off at all, and then they’re like, “Oh lord, I didn’t upset you did I?”
And you say, “No, not at all.”
Because you’re a stubborn motherfucker that’s probably in the right major.
Poverty is my future, but at least I’ll be happy when I’m conscious enough to not be working on autopilot.
