I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly
While you lunatics give up alcohol for 28 days, I’ve decided to abstain from social networking for the month of February. And in the grand tradition of The Internet, I am going to write a post telling you about it.
I came down with a bout of bronchitis this weekend and spent about 48 hours in my apartment. As a result of an obscene amount of internet time, I went completely loony toons...

The Sick Post I Didn't Want to Write Yesterday
I’m a hypochrondriac. I’m aware of it though, so I don’t google medical systems or read about diseases or watch House. I do, however, torture my friends over gchat with my symptoms. Chris has perfected the art of the non-committal response (so he’s protected either way). Most of you remind me that I’m crazy. Katey makes me go to the doctor.
So I went to the doctor...

Ran out of birthday. But I’m druuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunk and I just made this GIF.
I was going to write a post about my hypochrondria, my tendency to use gchat as a diagnoses center and Doctors’ general reactions to my over re-actions. But I won’t. Because if this chest cold actually becomes something, the last thing I want is a posthumously poetically ironic blog.
Wait. Shoot.

is this a bit surreal for anyone else?
Are puns alienating? Do you hate punny people?
nerd-gasms:
My dad & I were punning over dinner last night and my mom told us that we shouldn’t because it’s alienating and people don’t like people who pun. Is this true? IS THIS MY PROBLEM / THE SECRET REASON WHY I’M SINGLE?
Reblogged for the Scott men, who largely communicate with each other in puns. And are adorable.
Don’t mind me. Just writing fan letters in response to Jane Eyre articles. Nothing to see here.
healywu:
“The belief that Charlotte Brontë’s novel is in essence a romance, with Jane’s marriage to Rochester serving as her character’s “completion,” is certainly a common one. One reason for this error is that “Jane Eyre” is one of the key inspirational texts for an entire genre of fiction, the romance novel, in which the marriage of heroine to hero is the primary purpose of the narrative. But...

I wrote this!
Yes! yes!
(If somebody doesn’t post a picture of an otter soon, my blog is going to get dangerously Leila-heavy and it’s creepy. Like that time I just blogged about Claspell for a week while she was away.)
Seriously bitches, post otters.
Let Me Do Your Publicity!

Reposted from the IRC:
Let me do the publicity for your show, web series, or special comedy event! I spent three years as a professional blogger, so I know what bloggers and journalists want in a press release. I handled the publicity for my own series Vag Magazine, which was written up in dozens of press outlets, including Salon, Jezebel, the New York Observer, and the...

Mike Scollins.: What’s Up With You Guys and Glee?
mikescollins:
I don’t love Glee. The writing bugs me as characters’ motivations change on a dime depending on what song they want to sing that week. But what I don’t get is how many of you hate Glee. It’s not just a show you don’t watch but one that you openly condemn with a passion usually reserved for high…

I love/respect/fear Matt Mayer just enough not to post on his tumblr account when he forgets to log himself out of the Training Center computer.
Things you don’t know about yourself until confronted with the situation.

Not sure if I should make a budget or a shopping list this year.
It will be my first WF ever not vending, so I can finally go out and *do* stuff. Still can’t quite wrap my head around that. I’ll be at the con without having already spent hundreds of $$ on a booth. I can see my friend’s shows! And make new friends without trying to sell them stuff first! Yay!
I have a 2-bed room...
Best Invention Ever
I wish some genius would put her or his brain power to figuring out how to reheat a leftover cheeseburger. Because it is, basically, the most difficult thing in the world. And that’s a tragedy.
