#in my entire 31 year career as a budding fuck up

[watasemasaru]

"she sits there with her man glasses and acts like mother superior..."

"maybe op meant it literally, like glasses that are for men."

THAT'S NOT A THING. GLASSES DON'T HAVE A FUCKING GENDER. THEM SEPARATING FRAMES BY GENDER IS JUST STUPID MARKETING BULLSHIT. THE FRAMES ARE FITTED TO YOUR FACE. THE GENDER OF YOUR NOT REAL INANIMATE OBJECT THAT LETS YOU FUCKING SEE IS YOUR FUCKING GENDER. BECAUSE THEY'RE YOURS.

If you're wearing Craig's glasses they're his gender and why are you wearing his glasses you fucking beast stop that

l85 questions tag game

Tagged by @peppermintfeminist​. Hi mate! You’re the best!

— What was your last…

1. Drink: Alcoholic? You’re kidding right? I recently tried a milliliter of Somerset Apple Brandy and NOPE, never again. Non-alcoholic? Water with lemon. 

2. Phone call: My parents, just before I left for England, where I am now (not over the excitement yet)

3. Text message: “Yes” in response to my grandmother, who asked if I got her text. 

4. Song you listened to: Reflection from Mulan

5. Time you cried: Two days ago, in the middle of a back country road in Somerset, over a goddamn Severus Snape fanfic. I’m still mad that the writer actually managed to make me care about fucking Snape. 

— Have you ever…

6. Dated someone twice: No. Have I dated someone once? Yes, but only by accident. 

7. Kissed someone and regretted it: No.

8. Been cheated on: Look I’m ace as fuck and have never dated really ever. 

9. Lost someone special: Yes, I’ve lost friends in multiple senses. 

10. Been depressed: I don’t think so. 

11. Gotten drunk and thrown up: Any alcohol has this taste for me that the best I’ve been able to describe it is “rancid nickles,” it’s bloody awful, and I’ve never been able to stomach more than a sip of the stuff, so no. 

— Fave colours

12. Olive green. 

13. Purple. 

14. Deep cerulean. 

— in the last year have you…

15. Made new friends: Not really. I made a couple of cordial acquaintences in the drama productions I’ve been in, but no one close.

16. Fallen out of love: No, see above about being ace as fuck. Now, my brief obsession with the show Sherlock...

17. Laughed until you cried: Yes. So many times. 

18. Found out someone was talking about you: Yes, in both good ways and bad ways. 

19. Met someone who changed you: So many people. Just one who springs to mind is my Education professor at college. She was amazing. 

20. Found out who your friends are: I am fully aware that I am a terrible long-distance friend. It’s my worst flaw and I wish I was better about this. I think I’ve betrayed more friendships by just letting them slip away than I ever have had people turn on, or abandon, me. 

21. Kissed someone on your facebook friends list: Unless we’re referring to familial pecks on cheeks... no. 

— General

22. How many of your facebook friends do you know irl: Nearly all of them, apart from one random guy that my cousins met online and who has since befriended the entire family. 

23. Do you have any pets: I no longer live at home, but my family still has one of the two cats we had when I was growing up. 

24. Do you want to change your name: I think about it sometimes. I think about it a lot. I’ve just started using a new name with an eye to it becoming my official pen name. I don’t know if I want to start using it as my everyday name. 

25. What did you do for your last birthday: Oh, crap... I can’t remember. I think my mom was there, and my grandparents. We had cake and a tiny family party. I think. All I remember is I was glad I didn’t have a play rehearsal that day. 

26. What time did you wake up today: 6:50 am

27. What were you doing at midnight last night: Sleeping, for once in my life. 

28. What is something you can’t wait for: Finally achieving my lifelong goal: being employed, being published, and being financially stable enough that I can afford a little house, with a dishwasher and laundry, and a cat, and food, and health insurance, and Netflix. It seems... a long way off. Also the next episode of Supergirl?

29. This question is mysteriously missing, so I will pose a question to the universe/the people I’m going to tag: What was the first piece of media (film, book, world, comic, game, character, etc) that you were ever obsessed with?

30. What are you listening to right now: Silence.

31. Have you ever talked to a person named Tom: Several Tims, but no Toms. Excluding possibly some random middle aged guys back when I was growing up because who remembers that sort of thing

32. Something that’s getting on your nerves: People assuming I’m in my early teens and asking me things like how high school is going. Then I’m like, “Nope, I’m like ten years older than that, graduated college a while ago now,” and they’re like “Oh, you look so young,” and I’m like “I know!!” and then (and this is the bit that’s driving me crazy) they all say “You’ll be so grateful when you’re my age!” Like... I just kind of called you out for patronizing me? And your immediate response is to patronize me again? Also there’s no guarantee that I’ll still look ten years younger than I actually am when I’m 50? Also, I may be grateful or not when I’m your age but it sure isn’t doing me any favors now? Please stop. Just stop. 

33. Most visited website: I may or may not be slightly obsessed with Nonasuch’s fantastic Dogfather Harry Potter AU and I might check their tumblr once or twice a day. 

34. Hair colour: Somewhere between dirty blond and light brown now. It was blond when I was a kid. 

35. Long or short hair: Okay, so I really want to be able to braid my hair elaborately again, but I also love the feel of short hair on the back of my neck.  Right now it’s in an inbetween stage and I can have neither of these things. What is a person to do. 

36. Do you have a crush on someone: I had things I called crushes when I was in high school and hadn’t figured out I’m ace as fuck. I get hardcore friend crushes. 

37. What do you like about yourself: I’m proud of my talents, though I play them down more than I should, and I neglect to practice them more than I should. I like how far I’ve come figuring out my identity and who I am these past six years or so. 

38. Want any piercings: Under no circumstances am I voluntarily going to sit still and let someone poke a needle through me or into me for anything other than a medical necessity. This applies to tattoos as well. I respect people who have them, but hell no for me. 

39. Blood type: SOMEONE knows because I’ve had a blood transfusion, I think, but I don’t have a clue. 

40. Nicknames: I have wanted a nickname my entire life and nothing has ever stuck. 

41. Relationship status: Single asexual inactively seeks person willing to share habitation, bookshelves, Netflix, pet, and nerdy conversation for the rest of their life. 

42. Sign: I don’t do the zodiac thing at all, but I’m an INTJ and a Hufflepuff. 

43. Pronouns: Um, this is a weird place and time to do this, but since you asked, I’ve just changed them to “they/them.” 

44. Fave tv show: Ever? Avatar the Last Airbender. Right now? Supergirl, The Flash, Miraculous Ladybug

45. Tattoos: See above regarding NEEDLES

46. Fave city: Albuquerque. Fight me. 

47: Ever had surgery: When I was a kid I had The Case of Pneumonia From Hell and Fun Times in Hospitals and got chest tubes and part of my lung removed. Also a few minor random stuff. 

48. Piercings: See above regarding needles. The needle phobia is directly related to the Fun Times in Hospitals. 

49. Sport: Literally none. I’ll watch gymnastics and skating every four years, but apart from that the highlight of my interest in sports was that time that JKR was live-writing the Quidditch World Cup on Pottermore. 

50. Vacation: I’m in Oxford right now, somewhere I’ve always dreamed of being! And I’m on my way to Scotland and Wales. 

— More general

52. Eating: Sushi, macaroni and cheese, fruit, chocolate, scones

53. Drinking: tea, tea, tea, milk, orange juice, non-alcoholic lemonade or apple cider, water, tea, tea, tea

54. I’m about to watch: Brooklyn 99 (The UK has it on netflix!!)

55. Waiting for: My betas to come back to me on my novel draft. Then it’s agent shopping!

56. Want: A cat, the ability to focus, the ability to read properly without stupid eye problems, a job, writing time

57. Get married: ... growing up I fantasized about getting married because I wanted my paternal cousins to meet my maternal cousins and I couldn’t think of any way that would likely happen apart from my marriage and I think they would get on like a house on fire.. this still seems like one of the only motivating factors for me ever to get married. 

58. Career: Author and poet and crazy cat lady

— Which is better

59. Hugs or kisses: hugs

60. Lips or eyes: Neither. I don’t actually like making eye contact even though I’ve learned to do it, and why would I stare at people’s mouths?

61. Shorter or taller: For a dance partner? Taller, but not significantly so. 

62. Older or younger: If this is meant to be about romantic partners? Because why would anyone ask this question? Significant age gaps are generally not a good thing either way, except possibly between two consenting adults who understand and work to alleviate the uneven power dynamic a significant age gap typically creates?

63. Nice arms or stomach: The heck?

64. Hookup or relationships: Relationships. 

65. Troublemaker or hesitant: Hesitant and trying to overcome it

— Have you ever

66. Kissed a stranger: NOPE

67. Drank hard liquor: See above regarding the horrors created by my taste buds and any alcohol.

68. Turned someone down: Yes. It was awwwkward, but he was a friend. Normally, when I suspect someone likes me, I run away and never speak to them again. Trying to get over that. 

69. Sex on first date: Uh nnnoooo

70: Broken someone’s heart: I hope not

71. Had your heart broken: By friendships, yeah.

72. Been arrested: Nope

73. Cried when someone died: Not really. 

74. Fallen for a friend: A couple times, but in like, a really aggressively platonic way

— Do you believe in

75. Yourself: Yes.

76. Miracles: Yes.

77. Love at first sight: Yes, because it basically happened to my parents. Theirs is a story of being bookstore managers, an immediate attraction, a mutual failure to understand origami, and a shared love of Star Trek. It would make a perfect rom com but there was literally no drama. My parents are adorable. 

78. Santa Claus: I have always had the ability to choose what I believe in. Santa Claus was one of those things, long after I knew the truth. 

79. Angels: Not really of the stereotypical “feathery wings and flawless skin” type. In the possibility or even likelihood of benevolent forces or beings outside human comprehension that are not a divine creator but may be from or of the divine, yes. This likely has a lot to do with how many times I read Narnia, The Dark is Rising, and A Wrinkle in Time as a kid, now I think about it. 

— Misc

80. Eye colour: Green

81. Best friend’s name: I have a few. One starts with a C. 

82. Favourite movie: The Fellowship of the Ring. Or 101 Dalmations. 

83. Favourite actor: Maggie Smith

84. Favourite cartoon: Avatar the Last Airbender. I didn’t discover it until I was about 18, but I love it to death. 

85. Religion: Ex-roman catholic Episcopalian

The Great Super Bowl Uniform Matchup Rankings: 40-31

50-41 and a detailing of just what the hell I’m doing here. It’s important to remember right off the bat in this installment that I hate color on color.

#40. Super Bowl XLIX - Seattle Seahawks vs New England Patriots

The Seahawks remain a disaster but this is still better than their Super Bowl XL mud teal. White pants with this wouldn’t kill you. Hell, even a gray to match that shoulder stripe.

The modern Patriots presented a problem for me in these rankings since I have no strong feelings one way or the other. I think the numbers are kinda ugly but, just like the franchise, they’re a professional look with minimal bells and whistles. I prefer their home uniforms with the blue jersey and silver pants but the road whites are highly inoffensive.

Fuck this game by the way, Pete Carroll still owes me $50.

#39. Super Bowl VIII - Miami Dolphins vs Minnesota Vikings

The first appearance of the Miami Dolphins whose teal jerseys I harbor a fondness for. Whenever the current Dolphins bring them back all I can think of it “Why don’t they wear these full time”. Also love the old helmets with the dolphin wearing a helmet of his own, sad that in this current climate of CTE and concussion awareness Miami is no longer concerned about its logo’s long term mental health. This is a winning look and the Dolphins look fantastic in this photo.

So after waxing poetic about their look in Super Bowl VIII are they all the way down here? The purple, the goddamn purple. Not to spoil too much of what’s to come but this set of games might as well have been dedicated to Bud Grant.

#38. Super Bowl XXXVIII - New England Patriots vs Carolina Panthers

One of my favorite Super Bowls despite the buzzkill winner, just an incredibly weird game with zero points scored in the first and third quarters with the second and fourth being big play extravaganzas. As I talked about yesterday, this is my favorite Panther uniform but it’s still nothing special and the Patriots, now in their home blues, aren’t bringing much to the table while also not removing a whole lot.

We’re pretty much past awful uniform matchups in this reporter’s opinion (even with some more Vikings purple to come) which just goes to show how if you look good you play good so note the lack of Jaguars, Lions and Browns in any of these games.

#37. Super Bowl XIV - Pittsburgh Steelers vs Los Angeles Rams

Yup, same Rams uniforms from Super Bowl XXXIV with the weird blue in the helmets but we get our first look at the Steelers in all their black and gold glory that can elevate even the most pedestrian of opponent garb to another level.

There’s also something fun about how the respective uniforms tell the story of this game in that the big bad Steelers, three time champions, in the powerful black against the longshot upstart Rams in the more pleasant blue and yellow. Although sadly kids sometimes (most times) the underdog shows they’re the underdog for a reason. We do thank the Rams however for keeping the Super Bowl and the Rose Bowl where the game was played free of Buccaneer Bruce.

#36. Super Bowl IV - Kansas City Chiefs vs Minnesota Vikings

The Chiefs almost highhandedly pulled this game up to #36. That red is fire, the classic helment shines and I even like the racing stripe on the pants. For whatever reason in looking at pictures from this game I’m not even that bothered by the Vikings being involved. Wearing the road whites helps and the red and purple, at least to this reporter, compliment each other well.

FUN FACT: This, the first Super Bowl the Vikings made it to, saw them favored by 12 points only to lose by 16. After that people got wise and never expected them to win a big game again.

#35. Super Bowl XXXIII - Atlanta Falcons vs. Denver Broncos

A Super Bowl best remembered for a prostitution scandal and John Elway calling it a career after an MVP performance, Super Bowl XXXIII deserves some love for featuring the kickass Falcons Deion-era black uniforms. The Falcons, who will take the field on Sunday against New England, have elected to wear their home reds which is fine, but man I loved their old ones. The simplicity of the logo, silver pants instead of white and the red tinting, that’s the real shit.

Denver still looks like shit though, the side stripe going all the way to the collar was never my cup of tea. Too bad the Jets didn’t hold on in Denver and brought their road whites to this game.

#34. Super Bowl VII - Miami Dolphins vs Washington

There’s really nothing wrong with either of these uniforms, I still think the Dolphins look solid as hell and Washington with those dark gold pants are contributing nicely to the decor of the game. It’s just that a decade later these teams would face again with the home and road roles reversed and for my money it blows this one out of the water.

#33. Super Bowl XI - Minnesota Vikings vs Oakland Raiders

I’m embracing hypocrisy here on a couple levels since I’ve placed Viking home purple above a game I just said feature two nice uniforms and I’m letting the sun drenched Rose Bowl setting of this game and the photos it created influence my decision making.

But holy hell do those Raider silver and white uniforms work, especially against an opponent who’s really bringing a strong counter color. I’m loving this image so much it’s making me rethink the entire anti-Viking stance I’ve had going, but then I remember that purple is still butt and to use this moment for the first time to celebrate the Raiders.

#32. Super Bowl XLIV - Indianapolis Colts vs New Orleans Saints

I don’t really love the Saints road uniform and feel the pants look better with the black jersey. But I’ll take the classic Colts look every damn day (of course I understand the value of rebranding with new uniforms in a way to peddle more product but this old timer still appreciates the Colts and their lack of bullshit)   and think that in a weird way this mix of old timey success and new money (before 2009 for those too young to remember the Saints weren’t exactly known for glory) worked.

Fuck Hank Baskett for life though. Catch the ball.

#31. Super Bowl XXXV - New York Giants vs Baltimore Ravens

This is gonna sound dumb but for whatever reason I just remember this game looking great on TV despite it being a snoozer. I believe this was the first year the Giants switched back to their old timey helmet logo instead of the GIANTS one and akin to the Colts classic look, I appreciate the sleekness of the whole thing.

The Ravens meanwhile don’t completely sabotage the affair by being the road team so there’s not purple jerseys. The 3D numbers are still dumb but aligned with the Giant blue it doesn’t rake the eyes like I’d expect it to. The B on the hips seems unnecessary but it’s covering up purple so no harm done.

One Last Day of 2016

(original date: 31 December 2016)

One year ago today, my post looking back on the year was already on the blog for a few days. Last year I decided that I wouldn’t whine about how crappy it all was, but instead look back on the good things. And I also wanted to look forward instead of back.

“In 2016 I look forward to going to Letters Live! in March with a few of my friends. I look forward to maybe visiting my grandma’s hometown in Italy. I look forward to our team weekend in February, our teenager party in April. I look forward to the two weeks my friend and I will be spending in San Diego next July. I look forward to meeting Zachary Levi. I look forward to starting my studies next Fall. I look forward to… 2016. And hopefully it will be a good year. Hopefully our world will come to good terms with itself. Hopefully some wars will end. Hopefully the refugee crisis will get a good solution. Hopefully, we can all be the best versions of ourselves. Hopefully we get to fulfill our dreams. Hopefully this will be our year!”

As you can see, I was optimistic. I was full of hope that 2016 would be a great year all over. Not just for me but for the world in general. There were a lot of amazing things planned for this year - and they happened! I really, genuinely hoped and prayed that 2016 would be good to all of us…. You all know how it turned out to be.

January 10, David Bowie dies at the age of 69. The world was gutted. I didn’t know Bowie very well, I am a bit too young and my parents not invested enough for me to have listened to his music on a regular basis or to have seen his movies when I was growing up. I knew of him, but that was it. I knew what an impact he had on people, I knew that he was a great inspiration to so many and influenced a lot of lives.

January 14, only four days later, Alan Rickman dies also at 69. Again, the world mourned a great artist, a great inspiration, someone who was well known and loved by many. I - and with me a generation of young people influenced by his work in the Harry Potter world, by his portrayal of Severus Snape - mourned him. We were devastated by his death. And to be absolutely honest with you, I still am. Everytime I watch a movie starring him, I can feel the knot in my chest. It just hurts so much. Just being reminded of the fact that he is gone makes me tear up. But losing Alan wouldn’t be the last thing that I cried over this year.

February 19, Umberto Eco and Harper Lee both die, two great writers.

April 21, Prince dies. A lot of people on twitter expressed the thought that David Bowie was holding the fabric of the universe together and with him gone, everything was possible. With Prince now gone as well, people held onto that thought even stronger. Just like Bowie, Prince was a rolemodel and inspiration to people all over the world. They were both men who redefined what it meant to “be a man”. And if you lived under a rock this year and think that it couldn’t have come worse than that, well, you’re in for something.

June 03, Muhammad Ali dies at the age of 74. The world was in shock. You might think, those are all people over 50, most of them 70+, it is not very surprising that they died. Well:

June 10, Christina Grimmie dies at 22 after having been shot after her concert in Florida. A death that gutted me personally, because I listened to her music, I knew of her and followed her career for a while. Who the fuck shoots a 22 years old girl. I still can’t wrap my head around this. But that’s not everything, mind you.

June 19, Anton Yelchin dies at the age of 27 after having been found pinned between his car and a brick wall. He was crushed to death by his own car. His death stuck with me as well. And I really started blaming it on this year. Jeeeeesus.

June 27, Bud Spencer dies. One legend more, just gone. Loved this guy. I just watched some of his movies with my Dad this Christmas. He was a big part of my childhood. Bud Spencer and Terence Hill were probably the first two significant actors that I knew.

August 29, Gene Wilder dies. Yeah, it’s that kind of a year. The dreamer of dreams, gone. Huh.

November 07, Leonard Cohen. Dead. Gone. And then, just as you think it has finally stopped, we are nearly done with this year, it happens again.

December 25, on Christmas Day, George Michael dies. Once again a man who redefined what it meant to be a man, someone who didn’t give a shit, someone who didn’t care if people stopped liking his music just because he was gay. A good guy. Kind and generous, an all around saint apparently. Since his death stories keep popping up about him giving to the less fortunate, paying for people in his vicinity that he heard had money troubles. He gave to charity, to a lot of charities. Always anonymous, with the wish that he remained so until his death. Truly a great man.

December 27, and this was heartbreaking, Carrie Fisher dies after having had a heart attack on a plane the day before. Not only did we lose princes this year, but the Princess. Who was unapologetically herself, with everyone and everywhere. A woman who stood up for mental illness, who stood up against the standards of Hollywood. And only a day after that, her mother Debbie Reynolds joins her, not because of a broken heart, but because she wanted to be with her.

Of course, people die every year. Good people, memorable people, people nobody has ever heard of. But we do not mourn “celebrities” because we knew them, but because they helped us know ourselves.

But this year wasn’t just crappy because all these people - and many more - died.

There was the bombing in Brussels. There was Brexit. There was the Pulse shooting. There was (and sadly still is) Trump. And so much more. There are wars. Still. There is injustice in the world. Still. There are homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, misogynistic, sexist, racist people on this world. Still. And it makes me sad and angry.

I should not dwell on these things, though. It doesn’t help. Because despite everything, there were good moments in 2016.

I went to London in February with two friends for a weekend to see Letters Live.

We had a great teenager Party in April.

I moved out at the end of June and moved in with two friends.

I spend two amazing weeks in San Diego with my dear friend. I met Zachary Levi and so many other great people there. Zac told me that he read my blog post about him. I got to hug Shannon. I was at San Diego Comic Con. I was at Disneyland. I was in Los Angeles.

I enjoyed some days in Lugano with another friend. We had great conversations about our futures and our plans in life, our goals and dreams.

I had a great weekend in the mountains with my church and my friends.

I started university in September. I have an amazing and funny teacher.

I had an amazing bowling night with friends I haven’t really seen for a year.

I had two nice Christmases. I am going to have an amazing New Year’s Eve today.

I also grew a lot as a person this year. There were a lot of realisations made this year. I give even less fucks about things than last year. I had a lot of great discussions and conversations and talks about so many different things this year. I am unapologetically myself. I'm not holding back my passion for things. I started reading a lot again. I was at the cinema quite a lot again. I did stuff with friends. Watched so many movies and episodes of TV shows. Read graphic novels. Listened to so much different music. Started loving a musical. A hip hop/rap musical.

It wasn’t a completely good year for myself. Not entirely. But it wasn’t all that bad. It’s only going up from here, is it.

So yeah, here’s to 2017. I am not making the same mistake as a year ago. I am not going to hope that this year won’t be as bad. I’ll just take it as it comes. We’ll get through this. We can help each other. Spread love. Acceptance. Understanding. Empathy. Sympathy. Knowledge. Kindness. That’s what I’m gonna do. I will not allow this year - may it be as crappy as it wants - I will not allow it to bring me down. I will make this year the best it can be for me personally.

And now, please excuse me, I have to get ready so I can finally kick this year to the curb with glory. See you all on the flipside! And remember: We’re one with the force, and the force is with us.
