[britneyshakespeare]

might fuck around and buy my friend a copy of the riverside shakespeare (1973) for his birthday

side note it astonishes me that ppl are selling this book for between $50 to $100 secondhand in some places. you can get it for under 10 bucks at so many online retailers. it's a fifty-year-old tome that was commonly used as a college textbook, there are so many fuckin copies still floating around out there and most of them on the market are in the acceptable-to-good category of condition. how could one you have be worth much more than that? is yours in extra special superb condition? what?

do ppl just think everything vintage is valuable... bc oftentimes it just isn't

[zoanzon]

I want a website that tells me if a history book actually has citations, or if it just says stuff and expects me to believe it.

A hint of snow! Last night around 9:30, when the kids went up to the barn to do chores, the ground was fully white. I had planned my fall/winter switch for December first, but the snow took precedence. I walked dogs up to see them and ask how the tree-lighting in town went (fun! but COLD!). Then I went home and flipped the coffeetable runner over from fall side to winter.

A very small thing to get happy about, but it's important to enjoy those small things as much as possible. (Did I have to pick up a bunch of books, sewing supplies, and Random Bits up first? Yes, yes I did.)

[guard-1225]

Enjoying the holidays with my family right now, this was meant for Raymond but I suppose you'll do. Tell your boyfriend happy birthday for me dear! Also BE SAFE! OH! and how are you liking the blanket so far? These are a bit last minute but I hope you two like them!

(\/)

⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

A red pair of oven mitts, two mugs (one red, one green) a heating pad with massage settings and a cook book!

Hope you two have a lovely rest of your day! I'm so glad the party at Julie's was fun!

🐇🍰

i hope you’re enjoying time with your family! and i will tell him happy birthday for you, even though i’ve told him quite a lot today haha

the blanket is great, i haven’t woken up at night since being sick. thank you so much for that and also these!!! you really are so nice :P

Evbo gets up from the bed and puts the gifts on the coffeetable to show them to Raymond later. He examines the box of the heating pad and decides to leave it on his nightstand.

i wonder where you get all this stuff from… i really am thankful but if you have to buy all this i don’t want you spending so much on us, no matter what currency you use…

Homesick ~Christoph Schneider

Another one dedicated to @j0eyj0rdis0n and all Schneider lovers.

Enjoy:3

You came home after a long day of work. You were tired and most of all very sad. You walked over to your calender and you crossed off another day. Two more weeks and then Christoph would be home again. You missed him so much. You got startled when your phone rang. When you grabbed it of the coffeetable you saw a random phone number. ''Hello?'' you said and you heard Paul laughing. ''Hey, it's Paul.''Hey Paul, how are you?'' you smiled happily. ''We're good. The tour is really going well but you need to come over. Schneider won't stop talking about you. Will you come please?'' Paul almost begged you and your mouth fell open. ''But how?'' you said and Paul laughed. ''Don't worry, we got you covered. We ordered a plane ticket . Hope you don't have any plans tomorrow because you will be flying over'' he interrupt you and you couldn't believe your ears . ''Omg Paul, thank you so much!'' you said on the edge of tears. '' No worries sweetheart, i will text you all the info and we will be seeing you tomorrow" you hang up and you did a happy dance in the kitchen. You were so stoked ! You immediatley started packing .

That night you didn't sleep well. You were to excited to sleep. You only got a couple hours of sleep before your alarm went off. You quickly took a shower, eat breakfast and you went out the door. The management of Rammstein booked a first class ticket and you never have traveled that fancy. Lucky for you, you got some sleep on the plane. Once you went off board , someone of the crew stood ready to bring you to the boys. The way there you felt butterflies in your stomach and you couldn't stop smiling. '' You're doing everyone a big favor'' the crewmember said. '' he won't stop talking about you'' he grinned and you laughed. ''Sorry, can't help it''

Once you arrived you saw Paul waiting for you. You went straight towards him and you hugged him. '' Hey sweetheart, come'' he said while he took your hand laughing and run backstage. Paul barged down the door of the dressingroom and you looked shooked. '' Yo Doom, we got you a present'' Paul said while he gently pushed you towards Christoph. ''Babe!'' he smiled ear from ear and hugged you tight. '' I missed you so, so much'' he said while he put you face into his hands and softly kissed your lips. '' I missed you too baby. You have no idea'' you said smiling through your happy tears. ''Thank you guys'''Christoph thanked the boys before looking back to you. ''Will you please stay the rest of the tour?'' he said and you smiled when you kissed his hand. '' Ofcourse honey''

I like to go thrift shopping. Today I went for a chair - no luck, but I took a bit to look through the donated books.

The donated book section can be hit or miss. Sometimes they're a smattering of various topics. You can tell they were donated or freebies, or that a household didn't really read them. Coffeetable books, books about fad diets or dealing with sympathy, books about passing interests like photography. These books are given as gifts to acquaintances, who heard you mention you were interested in something, the quip remembered (even though you just made it to be polite), and then on a birthday or Christmas there it is.. A book you'll flip through once or maybe twice and then donate.

Not these books though. Today's donated books skewed towards the literary. Now I have a degree in English Literature so these topics pop out to me. There were Norton Guides to Literature, analyses of the Middle Ages, Romantic English Novel, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Coleridge and Shelley, and the classic Shakespeare plays everyone seems to read: A Hamlet, an Othello, a King Lear.

Looking at these books as a whole I wondered what kind of person would donate them. Maybe they had studied literature awhile ago and had moved on with their lives? Maybe, but these books had notes in them. A poetry book talking about what made a poem lyrical. Underlined passages. Brief phrases in margins.

What kind of person donated these books? I don't know but I feel a kinship with them, wherever they are. These weren't just books. These were studied and absorbed into someone's life. I know because my own set of books at home are just like that. Written in, scribbled, highlighted, studied, absorbed. A time capsule of the person I was when I first encountered those texts.

I wonder what kind of image my book shelf will present when I move on and my books are donated. I hope they see the type of person I was, and know my books were loved

Winner is definitely one of those people who does not act as mature as his age LOL. DEAN’S CUSTOMER SERVICE SPIRIT SHFJFJF

I was gonna say Kim is probably bad at letting people take care of him when he’s sick but you know what! He’d probably be good at that too, the bastard!! (But oh, I’m having thoughts now about Kenta providing care for him the first time after the whole Tony incident, and it bringing back memories and complicated emotions about that time he totally definitely canonically tended to Kim’s wounds when he was captured)

And oh Kenta, oh baby, he WOULD have trouble understanding the appeal of his body, it just would not compute to him (I need to see him get shy when it finally starts to sink in, please)

Winner would be the WORST (when is he not) to learn on because he’d be shifting and complaining the ENTIRE TIME. And yet it would give Dean very important feedback on what happens if he leaves it too loose in this spot, or too tight in that one etc etc—whereas Kenta would simply Not Say Anything unless continuously prompted by Kim. 

Dean *has* worked hard and deserves recognition and Kim is gonna tell him what a good job he’s doing and how appreciated he is and it is NOT going to make me emotional.

Kim 🥺🥺🥺🥺 this practically perfect dude and his three loser boyfriends

Also we DO DESERVE TO KNOW EVERYONE’S BIRTHDAYS, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

noooo I canNOT think about kim being cared for! especially by Kenta which 100% happened while Kim was Tony's captive - do you think that's when Kim started to realise what a gentle soul Kenta truly is? even when Kenta was holding a knife to his throat, the hand in his hair wasn't pulling hard or forcing him to strain his neck. lol I do kinda love the idea of Kim being a terrible patient though. he's gotta have a flaw!

I need the other three to have like, a campaign to make him understand. or maybe a game to see who can get away with the most blatant innuendo or...I can't think of the word. but like making excuses like 'oh you should take your shirt off while doing XYZ 😇 you don't want to get it dirty'

(listen...very very occasionally Winner is not the worst. it probably hasn't ever occurred onscreen but I believe in my terrible pathetic emotional support goon okay. he just wants to race cars and wave a gun around!!) but YES Kenta would absolutely keep quiet about being uncomfortable (back to the not safewording when he should that you mentioned - it's not THAT bad so why would he say anything? Kenta knows how to endure, more than anything.) but omg 🥺 Kim constantly checking in 🥺 and then with Winner they're like "okay we GET IT" (while still not actually crossing any lines) in my head Winner just isn't into the rope thing at all. why would he not wanna touch? why would he not wanna be touched? but perhaps there is a tiny little EMOTION occurring when he sees how peaceful it makes Kenta. and how proud Dean is.

I'm like sick over Dean getting praised. every time I think about actually writing polycule fic it's the first thing I go to I NEED IT TO HAPPEN. (honestly it's so blatant you wonder how the rest of x hunter weren't getting Dean to do literally anything - Kenta had one conversation where he said something remotely nice about Dean and Dean went and sabotaged a car over it. imagine what could have been.) anyway. imagine the first time Winner says something genuinely appreciative for Dean. (I gotta go work on my winnerdean fic lol)

I honestly need like a coffeetable book of everything about everyone on this show. birthdays, favourite foods, how they all got into racing. an explanation of how everyone's finances work lol.

I went to see a psychiatrist

To see if I could get some help

With my verbal tics; because they

Had bothered me my entire life

And they made other people

Think I was funny,

When I wasn’t, or so I hoped;

I had a job and a flat and friends:

Everything else was all right aside

From these tics – where I would

Spasmodically say words without

Meaning to; when I was in the

Supermarket or on the bus or

Just walking down the street, all

At random. …

So I looked up this psychiatrist

Chap who was within my price

Range. And I took the tram out

To his office, which was in

Some ugly industrial building

Several miles away. And I was

Pretty nervous about meeting him.

The only things I knew about

Psychiatry were from TV shows

And scenes in books and thus I

Was no expert. And so I thought

I would meet the cute girl

Receptionist at a plush desk and

Then would be shown in to this

Equally snazzy room with books

Lining the walls and two huge

Arm chairs on either side of

A coffeetable … But all that

Happened was that I went to

The ground floor and asked to

See this man and they told me

To get that elevator and then

I found an office four minutes

Later and this chap asked me

To come in and shut the door

And sit at his tinny table. He

Spent another minute checking

His emails and then he shut

His laptop away and then he

Sat back and asked me to describe

My problem. And I’ve never been

So good a speaker in any sense.

You know how people are good

With their voice, that they have

That thespian thing? Well, I have

Never quite been adept with language.

I can write okay but when it comes

To speaking I stumble over the words

And I used to have a stutter when

I was a kid and I have extra problems

With eye contact and so on, etc etc.

And because I was trying to explain

Something that bothered me I got

A bit emotional at the same time.

About my tic. Tics. There are many

Of them – where I spout out a word

Involuntarily. And as I was relaying

The description, I started to tic,

Right there in front of this man.

He first noticed it with a snap of

His own head, and he blinked, as

If hearing a popped balloon.

And I tried to control it but I couldn’t

And so I just kept tic tic ticking

Right in front of him. And at first

He put his hand up to his mouth,

Which I thought at first was to

Mask his embarrassment. And so

I thought he was empathetic …

But then his fingers slipped off

And I saw that he was smiling.

He was trying not to laugh.

And then he laughed. Ho hee ha.

He scoffed and I stared at him

And he spluttered and it was quite

Bizarre because I didn’t have the

Confidence to say some dramatic

Commanding line to get him to

Hush up and I eventually had

To stop altogether because the tics

Had invaded the whole monologue.

What I did instead was to get up

From my chair and bolt out of the

Room and whilst I was hurt and so

On I didn’t see why I had to pay this

Man for his session and he called

After me Mister … and my surname

And his expression had changed and

He wasn’t getting fifty fucking pound

To laugh at me like we were in high

School, which was probably where

All of this mess began and proliferated.
