Feeling some kinda way

Sup, tumblr. It's been a while.

I think I have gotten to the point in my life where i talk to people too much. It's like I've made the mistake of keeping certain people (looking at you mom and jenna) too updated. I tell them about work too much, I tell them about future plans too much. So I'm just not gonna talk anymore unless I'm asked something. I'd rather talk to no one than feel like a burden. Like sorry I wanna talk to someone else about something to make sure I'm not being irrational or moving too quickly on something. Prob doesn't help that I've hardly had any human contact today and it's been slow. I think I've done a 180 from being too closed to too open

As excited as am about the job at UCLA (official offer letter pending), I can't help but feel I am letting people down. Everyone wanted us to move back to the bay. I wanted us to move back to the bay. Ben wanted us to move back to the bay. And as far as bay jobs go, I just keep getting rejection after rejection. Even more so, the job at UCLA is dope. But I just feel like everyone will be let down. A certain someone's parents will likely bitch whenever they visit. They're excited about the job, not the place. I don't even know how much Ben wants to go. He says he's down and good with it, but I know he keeps hoping for the bay area. But it is just too competitive for someone without professional experience. Sometimes I wish he would just stop mentioning it because it literally makes me feel insufficient, like I'm taking away his dream or something. Part of me also feels like once we're there he's just going to be driving home all the time and I'll never see him. Like he wants the bay more than anything else. I don't know, but it feels like my family and I are the only ones actually happy and excited about this.

This is the year. This is the year I stop sitting at home and go do things. I'm going to Warped Tour, I'm going to see Paramore, I'm taking my health seriously this time, I'm going to New York City for Christmas this year. I mean I would go to NYC anyway cause family. But I feel like I spent the last two years not doing things, and I am done with that. This is my year. This is going to be a good year, I know it.

Honey. Anglehood. Box office. Adieu.

Honey: In high school my nickname was Mia. My family calls me MonMon (to my disdain...) or Mon. I have also been called Moni-KHAAAN

Anglehood: One of my favorite memories is the two-week roadtrip I took with my sisters in 2014. We traveled through 9 states and we got to share some beautiful sites and hikes. I have wanted to do it again but with Ben. There is something about driving with one or two people with the same 20 mix CDs, then camping out and exploring together. We of course had our "disagreements", but we are sisters after all.

Box Office: Well favorite film is incredibly hard because I have so many. I can definitely narrow it down to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I can't pick one out of those three. The favorite changes on any given day, today it feels like Return of the King but I would bet that tomorrow it feels like Fellowship.

Adieu: Well, I don't believe in goodbye. I have had real goodbyes that have been hard-- friends who have moved far, far away and breakups. But if I was going to choose a goodbye that would be hardest, I would say my family. My parents, sisters, and Ben are incredibly supportive of me and I dread leaving them. I recently had to fly to CA without Ben and I did not like that I would have to sleep alone. Then a few days later I had to say goodbye to my parents and one of my sisters, and I didn't like no longer having the opportunity to see them if I wanetd to. Saying goodbye to Sarah is also incredibly hard. I remember that goodbye from when I moved, and every goodbye since during my visits. It gets harder to leave my bae every time. BFFS4LYFE

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

[diggly]

“When I first met him, we sat down in this real crusty place, the Green Parrot, and I remember not being able to hold a conversation, because I was so intimidated. There is something beautiful and quiet about Viggo, but the more I got to know him, the more I realized how insanely brilliant and crazy he is–how he has this insane wild side.”

I’m beyond tired. I’m beyond scared. I’m standing on the mouth of hell and it is gonna swallow me whole. And it’ll choke on me. We’re not ready? They’re not ready. They think we’re gonna wait for the end to come, like we always do. I’m done waiting. They want an apocalypse? Well, we’ll give ‘em one. Anyone else who wants to run, do it now, ‘cause we just became an army. We just declared war. From now on we won’t just face our worst fears, we will seek them out. We will find them and cut out their hearts one by one until the First shows itself for what it really is. And I’ll kill it myself. There is only one thing on this earth more powerful than evil… and that’s us. Any questions?

Getting pretty fucking annoyed at all the ableist reporting on Stephen Hawking’s death so like hey uh just a nice little summary of the core of literally every article about Stephen Hawking’s death and the reason why they fucking suck

Stephen Hawking didn’t achieve the things he did ‘despite’ his disability. He didn’t ‘overcome’ them in order to achieve what he did. He had a physical disability. He did physics. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Heck, as the fucking ableist mess of an article Buzzfeed posted said, he himself said "My disabilities have not been a significant handicap in my field, which is theoretical physics. Indeed, they have helped me in a way by shielding me from lecturing and administrative work that I would otherwise have been involved in.” 

They also included a quote from another physicist that says “He thinks about the universe differently, due to his physical disability. That enabled him to make discoveries that no one else could make. And he has. They have shaken the foundations of physics.”

Stephen Hawking and his scientific discoveries weren’t made in spite of his disabilities. His scientific discoveries and the achievements he made happened with his disabilities, and possibly were informed by them, and his disabilities shouldn’t be shunned or seen as something that held him back while his achievements - that he’s literally said weren’t held back by his disability - are celebrated
