Temperance

Thank you, @nomyad!!  

Temperance: Can you describe a strange dream you’ve had?  Oh lord… there have been so, so many!  I’ve talked about a few on here, including the casino lit entirely with glow sticks that used different varieties of Dove chocolates as currency or the time I judged a blowjob competition (which is bizarre on a number of levels, as you well know). 

Let’s see… Oh!  I’ve got it!  

Sharks of all varieties came up out of the oceans and took over all the banks.  They wore ties, but not suits and rather than walking, they sort of wiggle/flopped to get where they needed to go.  They didn’t talk, but through grunts, facial expressions, and gestures, they seemed to get their point across just fine. 

And I know it sounds crazy and kinda terrifying (imagine having to ask a Great White shark if you can please withdraw $200 from your account), but within a very short time they’d unfucked the entire industry!  

Apparently sharks are very good with numbers and have little patience for greedy bastards who care more about their own accounts than anyone else’s. 

So there you go, Nomyad!  I hope you enjoyed this fun little glimpse into what my brain gets up to at night when I’m not trying to rope it in. Thank you so much for the fantastic ask!

I injured my right hand, so I can’t do most of my usual hobbies; no knitting, no crochet, no cross stitch, no writing, no cooking or baking, no origami, no painting, etc...  

So I’m taking @nomyad‘s advice and settling in for a long session of reading and snacking on chocolates.  I’ve been holding onto this Ghirardelli bar since Christmas because these are my favorites and they’re only available during the holidays. Today seems like a good day to crack into this bar!

Tagged

Thank you so much for the tag, @squishhiilee!  

The idea here is to answer the questions and then tag 10 of your followers that you might want to get to know a little better.   Obviously you can tag as many or as few people as you like - the 10 is just a suggestion! 

Name: Rachel

Nicknames: Boss Lady, Beautiful, Mama Homeslice (because kids are weird), and one that I’m not going to share because it’s a combination of my first, middle, and maiden names and my Mom is the only one who calls me by it. 

Zodiac: Leo, or Snake depending on which zodiac you’re using. 

Sexual orientation: Bisexual

Favorite Fruit(s): Strawberries

Favorite Season: Halloween

Favorite Book: Oh no!  I can’t do it, there are just too many amazing ones out there!  How about a compromise? I’m currently reading a trilogy of trilogies and my favorite of all of them is the fifth - Golden Fool by Robin Hobb.  

Favorite Flower: Pansy or sunflower or the flowers that bloom on my Catalpa tree

Favorite Animal: Giant squid

Coffee, Tea, Cocoa: Of those, I drink more chai tea than anything, but I’m mostly made of Diet Coke. 

Cat or Dog person: I like both.

Favorite Tumblr: One that makes me smile and think and feel.  

Dream Trip: There is a bridge in the UP that I really want to see.  There are steps so you can walk down to the bottom, and viewing areas from the top.  Someday. 

Number of Tumblr followers: 403 and I appreciate each and every one (except the porn bots, which I cull as often as I can)! 

Thanks again for the tag!!  I’m going to pass this on to @unitedstatesofbecky, @greatlakesseakayaker, @nomyad, @instituteforthecriminallymundane, @not100purrcentadick, @the-affectionate-boy, @killfrost2, @quadrant90, and @wynteruniverse.  And, of course, anyone else who wants to play along!  Feel free to tag me back so I can see your answers, too!

Excuse me, @nomyad?  Are you suggesting that I can’t be a good girl and still swear with the best of them?  Besides, I think we’ve both agreed that of the two of us, you’re the one with the halo... 

In reference to this post.

@nomyad, watch and learn. This movie is crawling with shitty jokes, hilarious fourth wall breaks, and classic one liners!

Thank you for the ask, @nomyad​!  

7: Talk about your biggest insecurity.  We kind of touched on this in our conversation a few days ago.  I am deeply, desperately afraid that I am not now, nor will I ever be, good enough.  

I know that some of this stems from never feeling like I was able to make my parents proud of me.  There was always something wrong, something I should have done better, something I fucked up. 

As an adult, I still feel it deeply whenever I make a mistake or don’t do as well as know I should have been able to.  

If I say something, aloud or in text, that means something to me or reveals some of who I am and I don’t get a response or get little more than “k” or a grunt, I blame myself.  I beat myself up for thinking the person might have been interested in what I had to say.  

If I don’t fit in with a group, I just accept that it’s my own fault for being weird or strange or just not enough.   Not smart enough, not cool enough, not fashionable or pretty enough, etc…. 

I’ve tried for the last hour to write this out in a way that makes sense, but I’m no closer now than I was when I started this response.  

I’m sorry I don’t have a better answer for you.
