New blog deserves at least one new picture of me… I guess. :b

John Lennon: "Everyday we used to make it love Why can't we be making love nice and easy Why don't we take off alone Take a trip somewhere far, far away We'll be together all alone again Like we used to in the early days"

Paul Mccartney: "John and I used to hitch-hike places together, it was something that we did together quite a lot; cementing our friendship. I particularly remember John and I would be squeezed in our little single bed."

I've made it a habit to block and mute people on the first sign of lousy behavior. Am I missing out on what might potentially be a really great person with fantastic insights who's just having an off day? Absolutely.

But it's a whole lot easier to figure out and establish a boundary of Behavior I Am Not Okay With when it's a stranger than when I already consider them a friend.

Most of my life, my positive qualities were summed up as being "nice, accommodating, loyal, and a good listener"-- in short, someone defined by having no noticeable needs or boundaries of my own. Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries is a skill I'm still working to develop to the point where it needs to be.

Things like muting notifications on overwhelming posts and blocking people who are assholes in the comments is one way of practicing that skill.

Favorite Buddie Moments Per Episode: 5x18 Starting Over

[steven-g-rogers]

Steve was overthinking everything right now.  Whether he should touch Bucky.  How close they should be.  What he should say.  He hadn’t expected Bucky to agree to move into the tower with him.  Steve worried that he only did it because he had nothing else he could do right now.  That he was there because of a mixture of guilt and obligation.

Bucky had been on the run for so long.  Ever since he’d broken free of the hold HYDRA had on him.  He’d been hiding and rediscovering himself.  Only it couldn’t last.  There was one thing the world’s governments didn’t like and so Steve tracked him down and gave him the offer, come live with him in Avengers Tower.  They’d gotten a reprieve for Wanda.  They could do that for Bucky too.  None of what had happened was Bucky’s fault after all.

So here they were and Steve didn’t know what he should do.  There were things he wanted to do.  He wanted to pull Bucky into his arms and kiss him breathless.  He wanted to finally admit all those feelings he’d been holding on to all this time.  All the things he’d never said back then.

Steve always considered himself a brave person, but he’d never been brave enough to admit to that.

They stepped into the elevator together and the doors closed behind them.  “The view is really nice up in my apartment,”  Steve said.  “Bet you never imagined living in an apartment in Midtown one day, huh?  It’s a big move from the tenements we grew up in.”

God, that sounded lame.  Bucky was still learning who he was.  This felt like so much pressure to put on the man.  So while yes, Steve wanted them to finally be a couple, what he wanted most was for Bucky to feel safe.
