Blog (Re) Introduction

I've been here long enough that I feel like it's worthwhile to reintroduce myself.

Howdy! I'm Hadley (or Grif or Pidge or whatever you feel so inclined to call me). I'm 21 years old and I'm currently pursuing a dual bachelor's/masters degree (Envi Sci major + M.S. in Bio). As such, I don't have a ton of free time, but I'm usually reachable if you need me.

I've been on Tumblr off and on since I was 12ish, but I think started this blog specifically when I was 15? This predates the tumblr porn ban :P. It was started as purely a writeblr blog.

I do still write! Much, much less than I did at 15, but when I have time, I do write. Predominantly xenofiction these days, but I'll get more into it if and when I get it finished.

I would love to rewrite the short story series I started on this blog but again, my free time is short and my to do list grows ever longer.

This blog, these days, serves as my general catch-all blog for things I see and like/find funny/think my roommates and friends would find funny/things I want to comment on.

My Warriors themed sidelong, which I really should have mentioned sooner, is @heathfall . If you get a WC themed ask or like from here, that's me.

Anyway, that's probably enough rambling from me. Hope to see you around!!

You get transported into the universe of the last media you consumed. How are you doing?

This is better than my real life

I'm doing well

I'm doing fine

I'm not having a good time

I'm absolutely cooked

There is nothing different about this universe and my own

they put my blood through every test under the sun and yet nowhere in the pages and pages of lab reports do they tell me what my blood type is

[json-derulo]

your neutrophils absolute? 2.71. anion gap? why, that's 11! hemoglobin A1C? a solid 5.4. and don't fret, champ—your VLDL (calculated) is a cool 12. real fascinating stuff. hm? what's that? you want to know what kind of blood you have? like, so you won't have to look your next ER nurse in the eye and tell her you have no clue what type you have right after giving her a date of birth that confirms you are over 30 years old? psh, don't be silly! we can't tell you that! it's a ✨secret✨

[json-derulo]

do you know your blood type??

yes, I'm certain of it

I think my family told me what it was but I'm not sure/no recent test to confirm

no, I have no clue

I don't have blood/results

so i’m currently working at a law firm and the other day one of the attorneys was talking to me and he mentioned that he’s “not very confrontational” and i was like you are?? a lawyer???

and he said “yeah but in court there are rules. i can argue with some shmuck in a suit in front of a judge no problem, but when i leave the courthouse and go home i’m not gonna argue with my wife about dinner. there are no rules in our kitchen. i would die.”

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

Quick question. When someone asks what age you were in a certain year do you give the age that you were before or after your birthday that year?

Do you give the younger or older of the two ages you were that year?

I give the younger (age before your birthday in a given calendar year)

I give the older (age after your birthday in a given calendar year)

Transcript: Yesterday my cousin said that my rooster wasn't a real rooster. He said he's a Walmart rooster. *chicken noises* Does this not look like a real rooster to you? *chicken makes a sound again* Sure, he's small, but he has feelings.

[faeblesmith]

important context this person looks and sounds like they’re gonna cry

[lastoneout]

Also important to note that the rooster appears to be roughly the size of a large pigeon.

[lastoneout]

The pigeon people have informed me he is the size of a normal pigeon, or perhaps even a small pigeon. Fucking rip.

I love going trough the notes every time bc there’s always someone in the notes insisting we’re all mean and that you can just wear thick dish gloves over your fake nails as if I wouldn’t assume you’re going to Patrick Bateman my ass if you walked into the bedroom with claws and yellow rubber gloves
