Having a real fucking complex with this girl I'm out with like you're really hot and for once I know you like women but also I'm in a relationship

[100493503004422]

I procrastinate so much that I have a gaping hole of dread inside my chest where I think my other emotions are supposed to go. unless a potential employer is reading this, in which case I don’t do that & I have all the normal emotions that human beings have & I love capitalism

[deforest-bones-urban]

i feel wrong. like the world is wrong and cant be right again. my chest aches and nothing makes sense

It’s time for another giveaway~

I have a LOT of dice hanging around this house doing nothing–doubles of sets I already have, doesn’t fit my aesthetic, whatever the reason, they’re perfectly good but didn’t make the collection cut. So, I want to share them with someone who’ll appreciate them! The winner of this giveaway will receive one full pound of random dice! (I’ll pay shipping.) The actual number will vary depending on the mix, but that’s somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 dice! 

Rules:

Must be following me! New followers count too.

Likes and reblogs both count for an entry! You may reblog as many times as you like.

You can get a THIRD entry by submitting a picture of your own dice to my blog! (One entry per person this way.) Depending on how many submissions I get, not all may be posted, but every single one I receive will count for an entry.

Do not tag your reblog as “giveaway,” it can lead to the notes getting messed up and no one wants that.

Winner will be chosen by RNG on October 1st, 2017.

You MUST have your askbox open and MUST be comfortable giving me a shipping address.

I’m suddenly laughing at the idea of a cliche noir detective story written in the brutally concise style of Hemingway.

A woman walked into my office. She had legs. I noticed her legs. “I have a problem. I need your help,” she said. They always said that. I knew her legs weren’t the problem. I hoped she might want my help with them anyhow.

[glumshoe]

“Can you pay?” I asked. Of course she could. Her shoes were worth more than my rent. She could pay. “I can pay,” she said. Her eyes were wet. I wondered if anything else was wet. Probably not. I am not handsome. Not since the war. She was looking at my scar. Lots of people do. Most look away. Not her. She did not look away. She looked at my scar and I looked at her legs. There were two of them. I liked that about her. I liked that a whole lot. “Will there be danger?” I asked. There always is. This city bleeds danger, then drinks it right back up again.

[glumshoe]

“I’m afraid there might be danger,” she said. She had the voice of a beautiful woman. She also had the face and body of a beautiful woman. She was beautiful.

The light from the window was striped. It made stripes on my cigarette smoke. The end of my cigarette crumbled into ash. My marriage had also crumbled into ash.

“I can handle danger,” I said. I patted the butt of my gun. My gun was a Colt. My gun and my scar were all that was left from my time as a soldier. My gun, my scar, and the nightmares. I looked her up and down. “I am good at handling things.”

when your tutor is unequipped to deal with students having mental/emotional difficulties and so as you leave your meeting he awkwardly drops “how are you feeling about...life at the moment?” and you are also unequipped to deal with confronting your problems so you instantly fill up and say “thats a big question” and then he feels like he made you cry when really its like you’re on the edge of a waterfall 24/7 and it’s very easy to tip over

me, with someone I’m interested in/actually trying to flirt with:

Me: *remembers how 19 Years Later and Cursed Child turned out*
