Happy new year you bunch of animals
Drinking prosecco with my pop, feeling old and boring because my resolutions are:
1. Get a job
2. Lose weight
3. Pay off debts
4. Have more sex
5. Do more stuff I want to do
That’s about it, aside from the usual read more, travel more, hate less, blah blah blah.
Happy 2012/end of the world spectacular.
Um...
I may or may not have forgotten the fact that I went back to school in the summer.

Anonymous asked: You must have done something this year?
dyinginback:
I didn’t do a single thing with my life this year. Not a one. I promised it wouldn’t be this way, but here we are.
This is a relevant thing.

Missing Logic
thefrogman:
I’ve been sitting here for the last few hours trying to decide what exactly I want to say. I love tumblr. It has changed my life and I couldn’t be more thankful to those who created it and those who maintain it.
But today I am disappointed. Hypocrisy was afoot and I didn’t like it. Tumblr has been very adamant in their objection to SOPA legislation. The entire reason that this...

All the things I want before 2011 is done
To cement my knowledge of trees and become the “female Dickon Sowerby” I grew up wanting to be. Eat the freshest tomato. Fake it for a man too beautiful to care. Drink in an old tiled bar. Learn something worth the time and energy and self-hatred for getting it wrong. Get away with something murderous. Move. Keep moving.

I know, I know, I lost my appeal (when I grew up? I still make the same mistakes).
GIANT PIT OF DESPAIR
I need a decent tumblr app for android. Free if at all possible, and compatible with the samsung galaxy. Anyone got any recommendations?
Welp. Note to self: browsing tumblr on my new phone is dangerous, what with all the porn… Merry Christmas and happy holidays! :D
dyinginback:
I’m perfectly capable of hurting myself all on my own, but thank you anyway.
There are a lot of things I want to write about or talk about (I forget the difference) but I’m too tired.
Suffice to say: I got an interview, he’s all but retreated, and Christmas is nice when you give a shit.

You're on a computer RIGHT NOW.
unfuckyourhabitat:
Or possibly a phone, but likely a computer. Move your eyeballs away from the screen and look to the closest flat surface, whether it’s your desk, your nightstand, or the coffee table. It could be the very surface that your computer is on! Clean it off. Come on, you can survive away from the Internet for a few minutes.
I’ve been unfucking my habitat slowly but surely...
… I literally just saw a tweet saying “I didn’t know you were meant to check tyre pressures until that tweet! Been driving for 11 years. Admittedly am a girl too.”
“Admittedly am a girl too.”
Like it’s something to ‘admit’ to. Like it something that fucking erases 11 years of driving experience.
Holy shit.

You know all those surveys we used to do when we were teenagers on the internet and how they always seemed to ask what your favourite food was, and how people always took that to mean “what kind of regional-specialty-type food is your favourite?” and answered with things like “Italian”? I always felt so left out because I couldn’t answer like that.
But I guess now...

Is counselling offered prior to labiaplasty? Is it? Is it?
It should be.

I need patterns for mitts and/or socks for a 1 year old using chunky/bulky yarn. Two needles or in the round, though two needles preferred.
Anyone got anything?

British Prime Minister David Cameron wants a “return to Christian values”, thinks it’s the fault of “tolerance of immoral behaviour” that we have such things as the London riots of summer 2011, Islamic extremism and yes, even City excess!
Also, channels Rick Perry as he shamelessly states “Britain is a Christian country and we should not be afraid to say...

my sister has invaded my social life and i’m getting pissed off
I’m headed to bed, but may I just say… oops.
These are the things I want to do:
Have an awesome bath.
Rationalise my Christmas gifts and figure out what’s still to buy.
Have a cup of Lady Grey tea while I paw over the Christmas TV listings (Victoria Wood! Great Expectations! Ab Fab! DOCTOR WHOOO!)
Things I’m more likely to do:
Not.
dreamnoises:
where are you hiding? in which walls, in which hollowed bones, in which empty words? i’d like to count the notches of your spine & feel each lash of your eye against my thighs.

If you’re interested/have some time to kill.
If your friend, in a happy relationship, goes “oh hey selfsame, I’ve got this really cute single friend,” and goes on to show you pictures, is she trying to set you up?
Is that what’s happening here?

i-laughing replied to your post: I want to talk about labia for a minute okay.
Your name is Daisy?
Nope. Her name is Daisy.
IN ADDITION
you should not be able to do a Google image search for a body part and get immediate surgery pictures
this is a symptom of something seriously wrong.

oportspangles replied to your post: I want to talk about labia for a minute okay.
a) spot on. b) i love you and hate you for bringing this gorgeous blog to my attention given that i can never remember not to check tumblr in public, especially my office and thus shouldn’t let myself follow it.
a) thanks love
b) You should also check out vaginastuff… I’M NOT EVEN SORRY!

I want to talk about labia for a minute okay.
I’ve started following vulva-love, right, because it’s sensible. But tonight there was an anonymous submission from someone who says she’s had her share of mean comments. About her completely normal* cunt.
People actually do this? Say “hey, sugarpants, you’re all kinds of not-what-I-like down there”?!
I’d just like to put this out there:
