hey I just met you
and this is crazy
but I read all of your fanfiction in a single night and I cried over all of it and I finished the latest WIP at like four a.m. but it ended on a cliffhanger and I can't stand not knowing and I dreamed about it last night and I'm going to live in constant misery until it's resolved
so update maybe

Sometimes it’s a good half dozen times a day that I am trying really hard to get some writing done at the standing desk and Gremlin is like “hey yo, yo, yo yo yo yo. You need to pick me up….So that I can take a nap.”

We’ve been getting a CSA box off and on for years and I really like it because it sort of makes local produce a thing that just happens to you instead of, you know, actually shopping for your food or whatever. Anyway, fall is always my favorite time of year for the box because leeks, potatoes, lots of dark leafy greens, funny looking root vegetables and so on. And then there are the beets. There are always shit tons of beets. I really like beets, but how many can you consume for months on end? You should see the look on my sweetheart’s face when we have borscht for the 2nd week in a row and no amount of spicy sausage can entice him. I tend to start pickling them and foisting the jars off on friends about the beginning of December. Sometimes I just give up because processing them is such a pain. When I cook them in the oven, the sugars make everything all sticky and it is so hard to get that dry crusty skin off.
But I have been doing it all wrong you guys! For YEARS! My mother was visiting and she boiled a whole pot of beets I’d been letting languish in the back of the fridge. So much faster! So much easier to peel! Such a perfect level of firmness. How pretty are these guys going to be on a salad? It’s a whole new world, seriously.

What I was imagining when I purchased my Molly Mutt dog bed online right after getting baby Gremlin.
The reality
It might be a little big for my petite gal. But maybe she can share because look who’s back…
~sending you virtual baked goods to sustain you through nanowrimo~~ (if you were in montreal you'd get real ones, but i doubt you are so hopefully virtual ones suffice as motivation for now :D)
Oh my gosh thank you. Lord do I need it. What if I just use December for this project too? #today I am done moping about the job thing. Yes.

Well I didn’t get my dream job and I’m kinda bummed out about it. This leaves me no choice but to become a curatorial super villain and show them all one day. If you have any particularly dastardly exhibition ideas feel free to send them my way.

this is from a real diary by a 13-year-old girl in 1870. teenage girls are awesome and they’ve always been that way.
