rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between “damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)” and “damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)”
I am also “damn, girl, you wrote this? (forgetful)”
Me in this case : “damn, girl, you wrote this? (cringed)”
May I add, “Damn, girl, you wrote this? (Disturbed)”

I moved here simply because I hated that my tags were so unorganized and then I ended up doing the same thing here. But the main thing I miss about my old account was, because I had more followers, if I said I wanted to talk crap - at least 2 people were there for me to talk crap with. So I hope you won’t judge me too much (and sara, jas - if I try to move back, stop me - do something, but remind me how I said I felt!)
So I have changed the name here slightly as I actually am really fond of therouguepanda so that name is staying with me; and if you wish to, please follow me over there :)
Every midwit literary fiction novel from the past 5 years has been called something like The Little Things We Do To Ourselves or Back Then I Didn’t Think So Clearly or I Have Been Trying To Venmo You.
I just got locked out of my apartment in nothing but my Moomin pyjamas because I make great choices for walking my dog
Had to wait for a friend to come with my spare keys at my crazy next-door neighbour’s flat. She talked about using homeopathy on her cat and handed me a chunk of raw frozen elk meat.
I feel like today has been wildly productive even by my standards, and I’m going to put a list here so that tomorrow when I decide if I should get myself a concert ticket or not, I have this to remind myself:
<!– more –>

Don’t ask me why I haven’t been on here this year. I don’t know. I don’t even have a good reason, it’s not like I’ve been doing something interesting or working a lot, I just… haven’t felt like turning on my laptop.
Well, I did for several days to finally finish Becoming Family, but that was literally just to write. IDK, I’ve just been living on my phone and my iPad lately, playing my games and watching YouTube.
BUT, as mentioned, I did finally finish Becoming Family, and that will hopefully be out soon. Not sure how many of you care, but yeah, I’ll be linking that on here when it’s ready.
And also I FINALLY GOT A NEW JOB. Full time and everything, doing something I actually want to be doing. My last day at my old job was on Friday, I’ve got this week off, and I start the new job next week. I’m nervous but mostly excited.
IDK if I’ll be back here full time. Or even part time. I even canceled my Photoshop subscription because I wasn’t making gifs and it was a waste of $10 every month. We’ll see how it goes with the new job.
a girl who was in my class at the tiny evangelical baptist school (who looks and acts remarkably like elle woods) took daddy’s oil exec money and used it to become a civil rights lawyer. and truly, i love that for her
have been tasked with helping organize a high-budget experiential pop-up at a conference and the main conclusion I have arrived at is that corporations have too much money
@leonardslee said: My husband is a lighting designer/technician and you would not believe how much some companies spend on conferences and entertaining
It feels unhinged. I went from nonprofits where our concept of luxury was ordering a new tablecloth to a corporate job that will happily drop $25k for an interactive light tunnel
