I don’t make friends easily. I’m awkward and I’m bad at small talk and I generally don’t like people, I don’t know, but I made friends with you.

#I miss being a part of this so so so much #and I know it's because I left #that i can focus on the good parts and miss them so much it hurts #but it does

I realise a lot of girl’s Gay Awakenings was kiera knightly or kristen stewart which is cool phenomena tbh but I’m rlly interested in other Gay Awakenings like for example mine was morena baccarin in firefly and also gemma artenton in st trinians. CALLING ALL GAYS (boys and nb babes included)!! reblog with ur non kiera/k-stew Gay Awakening!!!

#mindy crenshaw lol #found this a decade later and still not over it #I was obsessed in 2003 so idk if this context would have made sense to me #but I'm always going to wonder I think

One minute you're scoping out the new hires' linkedins looking for love, the next it is five and a half years later, and you are chaos sisters carting around a life-sized cardboard cutout of your classmate on the LIRR. And you bought matching rain ponchos for both of you and the cutout.

I've been having mild ear pain, and I figured it was my jaw, but I have good health insurance so I went to the doctor to make sure my ears weren't infected??? Without worrying about the cost because my Good Insurance covers urgent cares in full? Absolutely wild, is this how the rest of the world lives?

I have Good Health Insurance for the first time since I was aware of such a thing, and it is absolutely wild. Last time I got my blood checked, I had to pay $250 because the testing wasn't "medically necessary." This time, the lab charged $672.00, my insurance was like "hmmmm no thank you, we are paying $44 total." And the lab just had to roll with this??? No idea how any of this works but I'm getting so much medical caarreeeee

#tragically if one already fucked up ones jaw with years of teeth grinding #reducing stress prevents it from getting worse #but it doesn't heal it #so now I have to deal with it but so much less stressed about it because it'll be AFFORDABLE

It is nostalgia night here and one wonders if I actually did want to be a lawyer or if I was just a very gay child who watched far too much law and order.

One year + one day later and best decision I have ever made, hands down, no notes. I feel like I should feel some sense of regret or shame about deciding that taking care of myself is more important than taking care of other people? But I don't. Like at all.

decided to rewatch SVU and do an Alex Cabot character study instead of going to therapy, this worked too well, accidentally reevaluated my entire life. I think I’m kind of done fighting other people’s trauma in inherently broken systems? It’s a great and noble thing to do, but I have been doing this in some capacity for 12 years now and … yeah, I think I don’t want to anymore.

Had some unexpected expenses this week, was upset I was going to go over my budget for the first time since December 1, so naturally bought expensive lunch yesterday under the theory that whatever it was already fucked. This left me with $2.89 left in my budget to last until Monday aka not even one subway ride. 

Tax return posted this morning. Should really spend some of it on a “don’t quit before the miracle happens” bracelet because I indeed have been quitting before the miracle happens.

My law school girlfriend lived above the Tremont Street Cafe Nero. She had an adult job, so I spent a lot of time there in between my school hours and her work hours. Whoever was in charge of the playlist there was obsessed with Fast Car. It was a very, very good time in my life that I didn't fully appreciate at the time.

I don't viscerally miss Boston as often as I used to, but whenever I hear this song, I do.

#pls keep in mind reader #That this was 2015 #There were like ... three to four Neros max in Boston? #I do wonder how much I love Boston #And how much everything got BAD once I left so I'm actually just nostalgic for the sensation of HOPE #going back for my birthday this year and I cannot wait #pls note my birthday is tragically close to election day but we're gonna ignore thattttt #esoteric tags

Did this need to exist? Absolutely not. Am I taking it as a personal fucking apology for 2004 and 2019. Yes, yes, yes. Accepted. Thank you.

(highlight was when my ancient friends and I, fueled by several glasses of very cheap prosecco we will be feeling tomorrow, screamed at the cameo and the thirteen year olds next to us had not a fucking clue. Like not a single fucking clue. Just bury me now.)

I love so much how so many women on this show are hot in a way that appeals to queer women instead of to straight men. Yeah, there’s not a ton of explicit rep, but the whole thing just feels so authentically queer gazey in a way very few other shows have mastered.

As I am decidedly not heterosexual I've only ever been able to examine the Lanfear stuff through a detached lens of narrative and analytic interest (though the magic thing about Robert Jordan is that basically his entire world and plot can stand up to that scrutiny), but heterosexual men have assured me repeatedly over the years that Lanfear's 'Selene' act in TGH a) would have worked on them and b) did represent a level of appeal that's Rand's ensuing Stupid(TM) re: Lanfear makes a lot of sense.

With that in mind I find it hilarious how the show has updated Lanfear's manipulation attempt, not to appeal to Rand but the audience, and what that says about the way what is attractive in women has shifted in the twenty odd years since TGH came out.

Basically, mysterious intelligent beautiful maidens who are eternally grateful to their rescuer are OUT and worldly confidant financially superior older women who wield their power over you in only benevolent and/or fun ways are IN.
