@thusthusthus Yeah. (Idk why I’m surprised/upset at this point bc this is normal and I should expect it. Also I think I remember watching this documentary in middle school or something so I guess it would make sense to talk about the monarchy bc middle schoolers aren’t expected to know any of the context...though they definitely could have still written the script differently imo.)

Would it be awkward as heckie to greet my old Joan pals in posts here, in verse? Or would it be welcome?

I don’t want to annoy anyone who is “over” this old hulk of a scholar.

Whaddayathink?

Hey Hi I’m still Joaning and I miss you!

I have seldom been on here for quite awhile...AGAIN....and I feel as sheepish and foolish as I did last time, I have not been giving you all the love and attention you merit, and I’m sorry! Please give me another chance. I feel deeply in need of friendship and affection, I’m afraid, and I’m feeling very discouraged lately because of some personal setbacks regarding my gender identity. 

I am still socially anxious--this is a dreadful malady that I rate zero out of ten stars, would never recommend even to a rotten person--and will try to get in touch as best I can, but please ..

just please remember me and know that in my limited and timorous way I am trying to reach out to you again and that I value you and your friendship.

I am as ever your friend and mentor if you’ll have me, Joan Keating

Hey friend once you get this you have to say 5 things you like about yourself (publicly) and send this to 10 of your favorite followers. Positivity is cool ❤

Okay....let’s see if I can do this.

1. My hair (I feel like I’ve said this before?) even though it is Hermione-ish in proportions.

2. Sometimes my friends turn to me when they need me to explain things about religion.  I don’t know everything, but I usually have some idea and it makes be feel good that I know things.  Idk if this really counts but yeah.  

3.  I always wear the same pinky ring and it would be one of the defining physical traits I have if I was a fictional character; it’s basically part of my body by this point so I’m going to say I like my pinky ring.  

4.  If a movie takes place sometime between the French Revolution and now, I can usually tell the decade by the women’s clothes (sometimes the men’s but mostly the women’s) because I get really nerdy about Victorian fashion sometimes (and also novel research).  

5.  Um...  I write poetry?  And sometimes I think it’s good?

Once you get this you have to share six random facts about yourself and pass it on to 10 of your favorite followers :D

Thank you!

1. I am wholly imaginary, even the parts based on real life.2. I am plagued by procrastination; it can even hijack my work when I’m inspired.

3. I took to writing during a period when I was so lonely I had nobody else to listen to me, so I told the page to listen.

4. I love autumn most of all the seasons, especially in New England.

5. I have a superstitious dread of returning to the school I used to teach at. I have canceled speaking engagements due to this irrational fear. 

6. Some of the people I care most about are spirits who kindly keep me company.

Thank you. I am going to tag thusthusthus, feuillyova, rhymingteelookatme, butneverstoptrying, keenwanderer, kraftangel, theladyfiend, pilferingapples, lovethefutureisthine, and poetryden...all at your own option, naturally, as well as anyone else who would like to participate.
