@allrightpart2 she is literally researching and writing an essay in response to a presentation in her CWI class, purely because they were spouting some really stupid ideas and she's still mad

Yu's face in the second panel of that comic is too precious for words ^3^❤

(re: turn ons lists) i actually think about this a lot myself and would be the exact opposite of pissed if you wanted to make art of it. idk, it's understandably difficult when you have to worry about your audience, but i hope you feel comfortable making and sharing what makes you happy on your blog! uncool followers can suck it :P

Methinks atti should do whatever atti wants, and in this case not worry about what people might think or say :))

Thanks for the replies, guys! 

re: ihaveseenthefuture; I think a tricky thing is that sometimes what I want to do really is governed directly by what others want... unfortunately! But I appreciate that sentiment because I do struggle to find a balance between being the person I am when no one is around and also becoming the person that the watchful eyes of my peers make me aspire to be, and it is easy to lose track of one side or the other, at times.

re: allrightpart2 Hearing that you’d be the opposite of pissed is very encouraging; hearing that someone might be interested in what I have to say in the same weird specific ways that I’m interested in what I have to say continuously comes as a bit of a shock, and it means a lot to hear that from you.

allrightpart2 replied to your post “Current mood: typing out long posts about my thoughts on...”

may i ask why you dont save them? i do the same thing a lot when i want to organize my thoughts or calm myself down, just curious if you had similar/other reasons? (and i always enjoy your long posts❤︎)

I do type these things in order to organize my thoughts, yeah. But of course that means the parts of my thoughts I’m writing about are the parts that are the most disorganized, so I end up writing something and then just realizing that it isn’t how I feel at all, and there’s just no point in keeping it around, so I delete it.

Last night I was writing about where I see myself in respects to exclusivity in relationships, but by the end I realized that a very relevant part of that thought process is where you draw the line distinguishing ‘just friends’ and ‘friends but also romantic partners’, and I realized I really don’t have a good idea yet of how I distinguish those...so my thoughts kind of disintegrated.

Thanks for being curious and enjoying my long posts ❤︎ I’ve long wanted to have conversations about this with you, honestly, but I never felt like I could just bring it up.

how about 11, 15, and 29 for that identity ask?

“11. describe your ideal day.”

This feels… nearly impossible to answer. I’m way too go-with-the-flow for that, I think. It was a long time ago that I learned that having preconceptions about a day was the easiest way to ruin it for myself, so I never really think about what I want from a day. It also depends on so many factors—whether I have energy or not (I can enjoy both, but that changes what I do), whether I’m in a glorious antisocial period or a thrilling social period. It also depends on how much I get to fantasize here—can I choose the impossible?

If I had to create an average, though, a perfect day would probably involve (among other things) drinking a cold mango lassi and plenty of water, getting told something affectionate of utmost sentimentality, not wearing many clothes, spending most of my time in the ocean without getting hypothermia or sunburnt, and getting to come up with story ideas with Guinness and Soraya. I think I could do that most days of my life and be happy.

But if we’re talking really ideal, my ideal day would involve exploring new planets rich with alien megafauna.

“15. five most influential books over your lifetime.”

In no particular order:

1. Illusions by Richard Bach2. After Man by Dougal Dixon3. Expedition by Wayne Douglas Barlowe4. Though the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll5. A Child’s First Library of Learning: Insect World edited by C.E. Berry

...man, I can’t believe I didn’t put any graphic novels on this list... or any design books... or any of the FRUiTS books, Gerald Durrell’s childhood autobiographies, His Dark Materials books, Moomin books, or “The Way Life Works”... :( For the record, Peanuts or Calvin and Hobbes would be on this list if I felt they qualified as ‘books’—even though I read them in collected volumes, they still seems like comic strips. 

“29. three songs that you connect with right now.”

1. Stained by Kristin Hersh2. Shake by Kristin Hersh3. Destination Unknown by Missing Persons
