@noamchimpsky @dangerscully @ohyayaseance @totallyfuckingdonewiththisshit @imnotnormalimextraordinary I never thanked y'all! THANK YOU XOXO

@imnotnormalimextraordinary thanks, the worst part is that things could have been way easier if she tried to actually communicate with us instead of escalate things instead x-x

Hopefully not too much longer, I think we’re on the right side of things so it just seems like a matter of getting through it!!

10 books that have stayed with me

I was tagged by @imnotnormalimextraordinary (thanks!!)

Rules: List 10 books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag 10 friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them.

1) The Brothers Karamazov — Fyodor Dostoevsky (I know it’s peak 90s Duchovny of me but this book changed my perspective on what it even means to be alive and I chin-handsed my way through every pretentious-ass reference The X-Files made to it)

2) Bossypants — Tina Fey (that section on improv’s life lessons!)

3) Mercier and Camier — Samuel Beckett (I read this when I was studying abroad in Ireland and I didn’t even like it?? But we had such good class discussions on it that it wound up shaping my perspective on language and silence and what it is to respect others’ experiences.)

4) The Harry Potter series — JK Rowling (I didn’t read the HP series until after college. I cried a lot, and not just because one of the kids I worked with in Alaska spoiled the timing of Dumbledore’s death.)

5) Brave New World — Aldous Huxley (“But I don’t want comfort”)

6) To the Lighthouse — Virginia Woolf (It’s gorgeous and weird and it’s all about art and time and I’m into it)

7) New and Selected Poems — Mary Oliver (I know it's not a novel)

8) The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor (Haaaave you read “The Misfit”?)

9) The Last of the Really Great Whangoodles — Julie Andrews Edwards (I don’t remember another book that made me, as a kid, more aware of my own childhood and how fleeting and important it was)

10) The Phantom Tollbooth — Norton Juster (In retrospect, it’s like Doctor Who meets wordplay. Of course I loved it)

I tag: @a-brighter-yellow @thesaltyowl @day-daybreaks @one-in5billion @universallongings @baybscully @xfiles-behind-the-scenes and whoever else would like to answer. :)

Lol we’re in the same boat. You can’t quit though, because people love you and you’re awesome.

I’d probably still reply to stuff but lbr, my activity tab is dead and save for a couple people, no one has asked about me, ha. I know I’ll use it but I want to limit that.

Lol flying standby is all about strategic planning. It's good training for life haha. Good luck tomorrow!

I’m not really sure what you mean, haha. We truly didn’t have much of a choice but we were lucky with the seats we got. Thank you!
