Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, and send it to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable). SPREAD POSITIVITY! ♡

Five things I like about myself... hmmm....

1. I like that I'm a morning person. On good days, I wake up before anyone else in the house and accomplish two or three things before breakfast. On really good days I manage to wake up and have the presence of mind to bake muffins or scones. I sing my kids awake on school days. (Sometimes they sing back to me.)

2. I like that I'm an enabler of good things. You want to write that 500,000-word meta fic on how Hagrid was in love with Tom Riddle and turned to taking care of dangerous animals as a way of dealing with that unrequited love? You write that fic, it's gonna be awesome.

3. I like that I'm adaptable. One minute living in a Stepford-esque neighborhood in the middle of Virginia, next minute living out of a suitcase in a hotel, followed up by living in a sealed-off compound in the heart of the Muslim world. Yeah, whatever, I can deal.

4. I like that I can bake well. Maybe they're not always the prettiest, and I'm terrible at plating, but I guarantee that chocolate cookie is gonna taste like chocolate and not the faint impression of a cocoa bean.

5. I like the way I write. I like that I want a story to be the best it can be before I post it, but even after, if there's something wrong with it, I'll listen and consider and change it, if necessary. I like that I bounce back fast, when I get into the dumps about something I've written - I don't stay down for more than a day or two, I just need that time to wallow and lick my wounds a bit - and then I'm back working on whatever it is that bothered me, trying to fix what was wrong in the first place. I like that I love the editing process, almost more than the writing itself, which I don't think was true when I was younger. Maybe accepting help comes easier with age?

@azriona, figure skating is exactly Hotel California, heh! Ask Yuuri. He may claim not to remember.

I asked Yuuri. He says it’s largely dependent on how many times Victor made him practice his quad flip that day.

(Victor pretended not to hear, but then made him practice his quad flip again. I’ve decided not to get involved.)

drinkingcocoa-tpp reblogged your photoset and added:

LOL, they warned me about you!  People came into my room (adjoining the TPP suite), knowing of my Lestrade fixation, stage-whispering, “Cocoa.  There’s a really hot Lestrade out there.  You have to go look.”  :-D

Seriously, there are so many gorgeous people in this fandom, yeah?  *swoooooon*

OMFG I’m blushing right now. Are you sure they weren’t talking about @cardiganfucker They were a super gorgeous Lestrade too! And you’re absolutely right, I spent the whole weekend bemoaning about how attractive everyone was.

drinkingcocoa-tpp replied to your post:I don’t think I got ANY shots of myself BY myself...

I didn’t realize until afterwards that I didn’t get any shots of myself in my red evening gown, either! Too busy having the fun to document the fun, all of us!

At least I got shippy merlahad pictures with Owls

*eyebrow wiggles*

YOU WERE SMOKIN’ IN THAT DRESS THOUGH

GRIDLOCK 2015

Had such a great time at the Three Patch Suite with my friend Stephanie. I’m so happy to be here, and hang out with all you lovely people. :)

Toasters are on sale at Kohl’s for $15.

We need a toaster (well, several toasters) for the Hamford presentation at gridlockdc.

Ergo, I should buy a new toaster.
