I am a woman and the SanSan dynamic does nothing for me. I think it’s overgeneralizing to say that their relationship appeals to all women. Sure in broad strokes (bad boy and innocent girl), but in the specifics? NO. NO THANKS.
Ships don’t tend to appeal to me based mainly on their dynamics TBH, like....

Okay one thing I need to talk about!
You know I’m not really up much for talking about ships that I don’t ship. Like, what I mean is I like to spend my time on the ships I care about and whatever else is none of my business, unless someone says problematic crap (which also is annoying in a non-shippy context). So, this isn’t commentary on a ship …
But yeah, so, Sansa x...

YAY HI!
Like I can’t talk to my family about fandom THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND.
Also I Hope Rick Santorum was a thing that happened and I was missing it D:

So I TRIED this hiatus thing but I keep thinking about things my family just doesn’t understand!!!
And at this point it’s more distracting THINKING about them than talking about them.
And all the cool DVD party thing pictures went around tonight and I got so lonesome.
So. Let’s face it. I have no self control.
But I did apply for jobs. And get more rejection notices from...

One reason I am on hiatus besides RL things is that … a while ago when I was cleaning out old posts and fixing tags and all this, I remember feeling a lot freeer back when this blog started than I do now, to say what I feel and all that. I’m not blaming anyone else for this, of course, but it did signal to me that my mental space was not what I wanted it to be any more. I came to...

Hiatus notice
I’m going to concentrate on getting a few things done before March rolls around (very near!) so while I’m going to keep my sideblogs and whatnot queued up I may not be around for a while. TTYL tumblr!
PS: If I owe you something — sorry again for my tardiness! It’ll be here soon I promise!

I have a wonderful, smart, talented, gorgeous little sister. She is seventeen. I want the world to be the kind of place where she doesn’t feel like she needs to diet or be thinner. I want her to be able to think about things other than whether she matches up to movie stars.
When we walked by a section of sports clothing in the mall, she stopped and...

Bon Iver: And I told you to be patient, and I told you to be fine. I told you to be balanced, and I told you to be kind, but now all your love is wasted. And then who the hell was I?
Death Cab: So one last touch and then you'll go and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more. But it was vile, and it was cheap and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me. Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Radiohead: But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling if I just turn and run. And it wears me out... It wears me out. If I could be who you wanted, if I could be who you wanted all the time... all the time.
Brand New: You are calm and reposed, let your beauty unfold. Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones, spring keeps you ever close. You are secondhand smoke, you are so fragile and thin standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain, you are the blood in my veins.
Nicki Minaj: You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe. You a stupid hoe, yeah you a you a stupid hoe.You a stupid hoe you a you a stupid hoe. You stupid stupid, you a stupid hoe

oh i wasn’t meaning to diss brynden! it’s only that he actively /does/ so little (and is investigated much less from the povs he’s in) and yet is regarded so highly, whereas other characters that are much more present are shrugged off.
Yeah I do think he’s regarded peculiarly highly given how much...

From the introduction:
“Journalism is a daily process of painting an ever truer picture of the world. Every step of this process - from reporting to editing to presenting information - may either strengthen or erode the public’s trust in us. We work hard to be worthy of that trust and to protect it.”
