I’ve looked at hundreds of Tumblrs; I am very impressed with your age cohorts. Many of them. It’s like phosphorous in the sea, hundreds of voices overlapping, sometimes connecting. But other aspects are pretty frightening. Tumblr is in many ways like an amazing comprehensive historical record of how my generation failed your generation.

What is the first movie you ever saw?

Gosh I have no idea. I remember The Lion King was one of the first movies I watched in the theatre, but I have no idea what the first movie I ever saw was. 

Who is the one person who inspires you?

To be completely honest I would have to say my boyfriend. He is incredibly hardworking. Honest. Kind. He inspires me to be the best version of myself.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I don't know really. I want to be happy and to be happy I need to be doing something creative with my life. I would love to continue to pursue costume design and see where that takes me, but I am content with most creative ventures. I am open to many possibilities. 

What is the greatest thing you have ever eaten?

Tough question to answer. I would say almost anything my parents cook, but that only makes me think of meat which I haven't had in a couple years now. I'll go with my mom's guacamole. It's DELICIOUS. 

If you could only watch one TV show for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Pushing Daisies. It makes me happy. I like being happy. 

What song do you want to have played at your funeral?

I'd just some of my favorite film scores. How kick-ass would that be? Go out to the score from In Bruges. 

If you could be on any cartoon, which would it be?

OH MAN! Good question. Gonna have to go with Adventure Time though. Kind of a given. 

Best candy ever?

Mostly anything that is sour and in gummy form. Pull-and-Peel Twizzlers are up there. 

Mac or PC?

Mac

What book best describes your life?

I really don't know. I must admit I read quite a lot of comics and I don't read a lot of novels and I can't say there is a comic that I feel best describes my life... 

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Hell if I know. She's one sneaky lady. 

What is your favorite word?

Who is your favorite writer? (comics, film, novels etc.)

What is your go to movie when you are feeling down?

Do you read comics? If so what is your current favorite book?

Favorite stage production you have ever seen? 

What fictional character do you relate to the most?

Weirdest food you've ever tasted?

If you had to get a tattoo right now what would it be?

What exotic pet would you like to own most?

Glasses or contacts or 20/20?

Have you ever dyed your hair?

yitzytaughtme answered your question: Has anyone here read Player One by Ernest Cline?

*Ready Player One and it’s really fun! Just go into it lightheartedly and enjoy it and I’m sure you’ll like it.

Ah, yes. You are correct haha I do think it's something I could get into. 

madeofmetals answered your question: Has anyone here read Player One by Ernest Cline?

It’s for nerds, by nerds, full of mostly nerdtastic references. Not very strong sci-fi, but has some good dystopian imagery.

Haha nerds. Hmm, I was looking for some good sci-fi to read, but I really like dystopian stories, so I think I'll have a go at it. 

Thanks to you both!!

Five Finger Discount

Your five-finger discount isn’t accepted here. I am not a slot machine,                  fire sale,                  all-you-can-eat buffet. There is no “happy ending sundae” to be earned for a man who is less than Friendly.

Because there is a way you look at my skin,

                 Like it is the silk that should sooth your callouses

                 Like it is the fur of a rare beast for you to wear as a pelt of pride

                 Like my freckles are constellations you deem to think your lips can trace with a cartographer's tongue.   

I am made of metals unknown to man.

                With mercury in my veins,

                And titanium rods instead of heartstrings,

                I am wrought of cold-fusion diamonds from distant planets. You do not own me,

                Like thumb tacks through the eyes of places,

                Bold markers claiming a spot and time in futile spaces. You cannot tame me

                Like the thousands of lines you’ve drawn from bold faces,

                Or all the people you thought to be subservient races.

There is a wilderness between my lobes

               Of fierce resolve and tenderest possibility;

I am Hippolyta in her native Amazon,

                An ice queen who allows her forest creatures to trail behind a princess’ shadow,

                The spring in her step like the summer in my hair, And your five-finger discount is not accepted here.

madeofmetals replied to your post: madeofmetals replied to your post: Excuse me,...

I remember once seeing a post going around that was full of white girls tweeting things like “Chris Brown could beat ME up any day! lol yum ;)”

And it's those types of reactions that I find completely vomit inducing. People acting like what he did was some kind of joke, it's grotesque. 

If people continue to support him and he continues to act the way he does, that only leads to other people thinking it's okay. The only example he is setting it a bad one.

madeofmetals replied to your post: Going on the Chris Brown tag makes me want to...

He has a tattoo of a battered woman on his neck. Chris Brown is a monster with a good PR team.

Seriously, Chris Brown beat a woman and he continues to rub in in everyone's face that he got away with it by continuing to act like an arrogant asshole. 

madeofmetals replied to your post: Oh, and he deserves no respect? People who judge do neither so you shouldn’t get respect either. Why do you care so much about his actions? Do you have something to do with them? No. If you care so much about what he did, get your ass up and help women who are still in that situation instead of sitting in front of your computer trying to sound smart typing a Chris Brown related post.

lol comparing “people who judge” to a violent misogynist in terms of who deserves respect. lol lol lol

MAJOR L O L 

I'm a terrible person for looking at a man who beat a woman and verbally abuses others and thinking he's a bad person who doesn't deserve my respect, right?

madeofmetals replied to your post: Excuse me, sweetheart but how can you compare fighting with critics on twitter with what happened between him and Rihanna? You can’t, that’s it. Imagine you did something wrong, felt horrible for it afterwards and people would still talk about it ALL THE TIME. How would you feel? Not good either, I bet. After awhile, things just piss you off and you react angry. Understandable, innit? Yeah.

is this idiot defending chris brown. like really. REALLY

I honestly don't know what I find more disgusting, Chris Brown himself or the fact that Chris Brown fans don't seem the think he did anything wrong and continue to defend him and his actions.
