Finally ordering Castlefest tickets, and while doing so, noticed that they have a third gender option now, as well as “no answer”. Well done, Castlefest.
@tinjam, you mentioned some time ago that you might also go to CF? Boyfriend and I finally know that we can go, and I’d love to meet you again!
Hey everybody! It’s been a while since I’ve seriously been on Tumblr and I’m not even sure where all my old Glee friends have gone to, fandomwise, but tonight I just really miss Glee, a lot, and I wasn’t sure where else to say that. Right now I’m going to school in New York, and I am entirely positive that I’m there because of the effect that Glee had on my life. The fandom and the show really shaped my high school experience, and I am so thankful that I found so many incredible people here that gave me a space to just really enjoy Glee. Glee as a show had no restraint, it always went as far as it could go, and although I was sometimes scared to be vulnerable in real life, this fandom gave me a space to express what I never could to the people I know in real life
Tonight I rewatched a lot of old behind the scenes videos and the movie of the concert, and it made me remember who I was when Chris as Kurt really moved me towards being a better person, towards being more caring, more forgiving, more determined, and more thoughtful about my actions and their effects. The fandom also pushed me to think more critically and acknowledge shortcomings, even while still loving the show. I think that over the last few years I had really lost that, and I know that the fandom has died away over the last few years, but for everyone who’s still around, thank you for being there for one of the best experiences of my (admittedly short) life.
I’m not good at talking to people, but I try my best, and sometimes it works, and it makes me happy.
So I just want to say, thank you, @bookshelfdreams, @derharlekin, @dendritic-trees, @all-too-ale and @tinjam, you’ve all made my week better and brighter and I appreciate it.

Congratulations honey !!!!

CONGRATS!!!! <3
Thank you!
I’m so glad I stuck with it, even when I felt like I had to give up!
@lizinprogress tagged me in a thing.
how old are you? 29, for five more days.
what’s your current job? horticulturist, working as the only year-round employee at a little plant nursery, where I get to do pretty much all the things that have to do with growing plants and selling them and training the occasional intern.
what are you talented at? growing plants – how do you think I ended up with this job? Plants just *make sense* to me in ways people often don't. And I think I'm also pretty good at explaining plants to people, whether they're interns/apprentices or customers. (So, Liz, if you ever need any help with your gardening plans, you know who to ask.)
what is a big goal you are working towards (or have already achieved)? Becoming a master horticulturist. I've finished and passed all the classes, now I just need to buckle down and finish my thesis-like thing. (I have a month and a half until it has to be finished and proofread and printed and handed in, argh.)
what is your aesthetic? Still not sure what that even means... bright colours, I guess, and lots of them. And irresponsible amounts of plants.
do you collect anything? Houseplants. And books, guess, but that's not so much in the spirit of collecting as "I like to read and I like being surrounded by books".
what’s a topic you always talk about? Tad Williams and his books.
what’s a pet peeve of yours? People who think they're better than others. Bad spelling. Badly written fantasy books. (I mean, yeah, different tastes and all, but some books I've read, I still wonder how they ever got published.)
good advice to give? Nobody else is better than you (even if sometimes we have to act like they are, for our own safety or to keep our jobs.) You're not better than anyone else (however much we all want to be.)
what are three songs you’d recommend? Tough question, because on the one hand, too much to choose from, and on the other hand, I'm just not a music person.
I guess...
I Am Yours by the Makemakes – say what you want about ballads at the ESC, that's my cousin on the drums, and the song has a lot of personal meaning for me since it was played at our grandfather's funeral.
Morrigan by Omnia because I’m endlessly amused by the contrast between quiet, beautiful music and the lyrics in the last part.
And... hmm... well, let’s throw a fandom thing in there, In Cathyn Dair from Tad Williams’ Memory Sorrow and Thorn books. I get that song stuck in my head just from reading it, and I love being able to listen to it!
So, who wants to do this too? @hazelandglasz, @tinjam, @princessofbadassery, @teenwhovian14, @blogglebabbles? If you want to. And anyone else who feels like it - I’d love to get to know you all better!
tinjam replied to your post: Reasons to love my life: - best friend and her...
Ooh sounds nice! We actually got thunder yesterday and I enjoyed the smell and the break from the heat immensly! Though we are supposed to get over 30C next week. idk how I will survive :D
Yeah, I think our forecast is 36°C next week. And then I get to work in greenhouses. *cries*
If I did not have gross old male customers, I’d buy a kiddie pool and put it at work, and we could all just work in our swimming things. But I do not want to give those assholes more to ogle.
tinjam replied to your photo: Help meeee…
Would help the cat escape just so I could hug him. :D
Heh. He did eventually get away... just to be scooped up by me.
tinjam replied to your post: Here’s the thing - I don’t typically post nsfw...
I’m not too worried bc I already have the emails of all my friends from tumblr so even if I can’t contact them through tumblr I can still reach them and that’s more important anyway. :D
I have emails of a few, but not nearly all of them. But I’m working on it.
