-_-

my morning got off to a lovely start at fuckit in the morning when Beloved came home and woke me up by going to bed

then i spent the rest of the morning trying to get back to sleep

only to finally have a dream about the alarm going off and actually waking me up TWO FUCKING MINUTES before the alarm actually went off

i’ve already had my coffee of the day and it’s not fucking working

the printer won’t obey me

i’m low on spoons

my back hurts despite the brand fucking new posturepedic mattress we got

my feet hurt before i even got out of bed

i currently have two modes - capslock and lowercase

you do not want capslock

if i try to sleep now i will fuck up my internal clock even worse

i need new shoes

the money i actually got back from the tax man is going straight on clothes for the kids and food for the family and i will likely never see it when i’m financially stable enough to save for my cosplay

i’ve been using all my energy to catch up on the backlog of words i owe on KFZ and it shows because nobody has bought any of my for-profit books in a FIRKIN MONTH

i don’t have the spoons for punctuation or capital letters

i need a massive tax free windfall or tony abbott to turn up at my door and ask me what i need him to do to win my vote

and i would say: stand there with your legs apart and your eyes closed

and i would kick him in the nards so hard he’d get a nosebleed

and then tell him i’d never vote for him even if he paid me

but we all know none of that is going to happen so pleh

i got things i want to get done things i need to fetch things i need to do

and fuck all spoons

fuck

i’m doing the bare minimum today and spending the rest of it on popcorn, bad television, and animal crossing: new leaf

Photo shoot outtakes! | photos by trekkiebeth

I included the second one just for Chelsea.

davidmichaelbennett - please get those gloves repainted. Or upgraded. Or something. The Spine is supposed to be the shiny one.

Challenge #00847-B116: The Diving War

This battle would be much more intense if both sides weren’t trying to lose.

“If we do not win for the glory of the emperor, we will be executed as criminals.”

“But we can’t win! The odds are stacked against us.”

“Have no fear! I have bribed the other general to lose to us. All we have to do is make sure that we don’t hurt his men.”

Meanwhile, in the other camp…

“The emperor told us to

I was sad with myself...

I have a little post-it note on my monitor, which I had been using to keep track of the word count I still owe.

And, yes, I am still catching up on those four weeks my wrists were cactus.

Between assorted disasters and social obligations, I thought I’d managed to rack up six owed weeks (that’s 18K words) when I started with four.

And in the middle of my personal gloom-and-doom routine, I went back to the calendar

Challenge #00846-B115: Vortex Realm

“Help! I’m trapped in a Craft Show.”

How many aisles must a man walk down? How many different booths could stock yarn? And what the hell was tatting?

Maisy stopped at yet another booth that sold merchandise almost identical to the last booth.

“…uuuuuuuuuuuugh…” groaned Paul, designated human packhorse. “My feet hurt. How big is this show floor? Can I please put this crap in our room and go for a coffee?“

“Hmm?” Maisy looked up from an array

YES!

ive never heard this song before
