You Only Ever Had Her When She Was A Fever

Both mom and I crashed really early this evening (like, I was asleep at 8 p.m.) (it's been a long December, okay?) and then woke up at around the same time for a midnight snack and (in my case) internet time.

So, we're planning out the next couple of days, and mom is like, 'and we'll go visit so-and-so, who has the first Hobbit, and I really want to watch the first one, and then go see the second in theaters.'

Now, keep in mind, my desire to watch the Hobbit is like, negative 3,000, but I go: "Because I love you, okay. And I promise to say that I liked it, even if I didn't."

Her: "Are you feeling guilty about something?"

Me: "No, I'm just trying to be less of a pill, I know you really love the Hobbit."

Later, I'm refilling the tea kettle (which she always asks me to do and I never do) and she's says, "do you have a fever?" and feels my forehead (which was, admittedly, a little warm).

First Lines

First lines of first posts for each month of 2013:

January: So the goal for the first of the new year is to respond to the pile of correspondence currently swamping my desk, write thank-you notes, and balance my checkbook.

February: Look, I am excited as the next girl for Iron Man 3, Thor 2, SHEILD, etc, etc.... but do we really need a TEASER for the TRAILER for the movie that is coming out in four months?

March: I am really glad that this comic regarding following your dreams crossed my path with commentary because the first time I read it (sans commentary), I liked it but ended up feeling vaguely inferior, like I was bad for not throwing myself more whole-heartedly into life and, you know, having a job I don't love but that lets me be self-supporting.

April: I love how not only do I have to wait through a fuckton of Derek/Stiles whenever I'm looking at ANYTHINGTeen Wolf related BUT AS A SPECIAL BONUS when people do create content for the pairing that I care about, they feel the need to tag it with 'but I don't ship this romantically, like at all.'

May: Hit me with a fandom/character/pairing and I'll list my three most unpopular opinions about it.

June: I recall reading a really good Thor AU where Sif was a cop and Loki was a lawyer... does anyone else remember reading this and if so, do they have a link?

July: Today is so fucking fired. With extremem prejudice.

August: Why I have been waiting like, two weeks to be able to download and ebook from the library (I'm number 1 in the hold list, fyi, and there are multiple copies) but my previous download of a different ebook expires after five days.

September: One thing that teen wolf did really right in season three was selling Allison and Lydia's relationship.

October: “You silly little girl, you think you’ve survived so long that survival shouldn’t hurt anymore."

November: Which icon is better?

December: yj | let me be your ride out of town
I was thinking about Artemis/Wally (as one does, when an OTP rises from the depth of your soul to torment you once again) and I feel the reasons why Artemis is into Wally are:

I Refuse To Succumb To The Hobbit Movies With Anything Resembling Grace.

Reasons I Don't Want To Watch The Hobbit movies, a list:

• I have no need to watch that dude from Sherlock or hear the voice of that other dude from Sherlock, ever.


• the director is asking me to, theoretically, spend $40.00 and nine hours of my life to watch the movie adaptation of a children's book that I could read, unabridged, in about eighty minutes.


• They fugled up Lee Pace.


• They fugled up Richard Armitage


• They did not do a great job with Lily Evangaline's wig - I don't think that weird auburn color does her any favors.
