someone could literally marry me and i would still wonder if they secretly found me annoying
fun fact: the idiot and I have discussed marrying once we’re out of college/real adults/financially stable, and I’m still paranoid he doesn’t actually like me.
I’M SO ANGRY
SOME 16TH CENTURY ASSHOLE WROTE “GOD B W YE” IN A LETTER AS AN ABBREVIATION FOR “GOD BE WITH YE”
AND IT APPEARED AS “GODBWYE”
WHICH WAS THEN READ AS “GOODBYE”
AND THAT’S WHY WE SAY “GOODBYE”
BECAUSE OF 16TH CENTURY CHAT SPEAK
LOL

If I ever tell you I’m going to sleep and then you see me posting or liking things online for about an hour immediately after that, I promise I wasn’t lying to you, I’m just bad at going to sleep and it is usually a long process that begins with disengaging from any sort of immediate contact with people (chats, for example) and ends when everything on my screen is blurry and I’m hallucinating plot points I haven’t written yet
just because i hate me doesnt mean you can

For those of you who don’t want to read the transcript of the oral argument in Hollingsworth v. Perry, which is all of 82 pages long, or whose heads exploded when you tried to read it, I’ve written a helpful summary. It’s available below the jump.
This summary is still fairly long, but it’s shorter and I’ve worked to make things as accessible as possible to those without legal training.
As a result, there are some places where I might have oversimplified the legal argument. My summarizing might be partially colored by my personal viewpoints, but this is basically what happened, plus or minus the aliens eating children.
“DiCaprio and Mulligan, meanwhile, don’t seem like star-crossed lovers so much as a delusional man in love with a bauble of a woman. Maybe that’s intentional?”

sometimes i’m all about mad pride but sometimes i just hate mental illness, i hate being crazy, i’m miserable and i feel like i make other people miserable even when i don’t mean to and i want to cry all the time.

lots of love this mother’s day for everyone who has a complex relationship with their mom, everyone who has ceased communication with their mom for reasons of self-preservation, and every person whose mom is deceased
so I just Skyped with boyfriend’s mother, step-father and brother for the first time. that was… awkward.
aaaaaaaand PE coaches yelled at me for disrupting class due to hysterical crying.
Look, you get to pick one. You can either require attendance from a student with a documented disability causing chronic pain, or you can be angry when they are sick in front of you. You do not get both.
so I’m currently trapped in a library, unable to stand up, and I have a required-attendance PE class in 30 minutes. That’s about a 10 minute walk away.
And also even when I could move, it hurt so much I was sobbing? And I have an answer that isn’t working on a problem set in a class I need an A in, and it’s due in two hours, and I can’t reach anyone to help me walk to class, and I think I might just die instead; it seems easier.

FYI: I am not actually suffering from some horrible contagious illness; I just made the wonderful decision to go for a walk near dusk, near standing water. I now have several hundred mosquito bites.
At least it’s not actually chicken pox? (Which is what it totally looks like.)
