List of my asshole family members.

Don't follow me because of the people I talk to or the shit I reblog. Follow me because you like me and what I do.

Writer. Pansexual. Panromantic. Polyamorous. Atheist. Proud Gryffindor. Egalitarian. A bit of a white knight. A gorram bleeding heart, a roleplayer (not like that, you dirty-minded git) over MSN and suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Perpetually lonely. Woefully misunderstood. Black sheep. Lover. Rabid fighter, when my loves are fucked with. Shamelessly attracted to Tomek Szczukiecki, minerals, space (stars and nebulae UNF), good writing and candy.

Bibliophile. I get a boner for good books and bookshelves. I have a habit of spewing endearments on everyone--everything from 'baby' to 'sugar' to 'owlet' to 'teacup' is fair game--but I'll try not to if it makes you uncomfortable. Just let me know. I love researching the shit out of interesting topics and I love helping people out. Ask me anything from what to eat if your stomach's giving you trouble to what oils to use in a massage to relieve certain pains. I'm all for it.

I am broken and self-raised; I'll do most everything wrong because everything I've learned to do, I've learned from bad examples. But, please, don't give up on me. I'm learning. I'm trying.

“ Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.

Cookie, a Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo who has been part of the Brookfield Zoo’s oldest resident and the only surviving member of the animal collection from the time of the zoo’s opening in 1934, having arrived from Taronga Zoo of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, in the same year and judged to be one year old at the time. He is believed to be the oldest member of his species alive in captivity. As of June 25, 2011, Cookie is 78 years old and has retired from actively being displayed. He currently resides in the keeper’s office at the Perching Bird House, although it has been stated that he may still make occasional appearances for special events such as his birthday celebration, which is held each June.

Very sexy ties from The Cyberoptix TieLab

Poison gases, excited synapses, molecular representations of caffeine and nicotine… Yes. Yes, I did automatically think of Sherlock. We’re all just going to have accept that that’s what I am and how I do and move forward.

I’ll take one of those typewriter ties, please.

Looove the microscope one and the gun ones!

I want one of each. And I want to wear all of them at once.

Don’t be jealous of my boogie.

Can I own all of these?! Please?!?!

I think I almost bought some of these once

#the fact that he’ll only get an mtv movie award for ”best villain” is some serious bullshit #not only because he deserves as much if not more recognition than most of the hp cast #but because giving him an award for portraying draco as a villain is like a massive fuck you #to both him and the entire arc of his character on a whole #god damn it
