I think a big part of why I read way more fanfiction than books is that there’s just a hell of a lot less exposition
the first 10 pages of most books are always “these are the main characters and here’s some background on each of them and this is the setting etc etc” and it’s such a fucking hassle getting to the plot sometimes
fanfic is just like “fuck it you know all of this already let’s go”
AKA why I don’t write original fiction either…

Chillo, Germsie, I always figured you don’t really dig communiques over tumblr. ‘Sides, I don’t seem to have much of a direction with Elvmon. I’ll let you know if I ever do set off on a new tumblr experience.

I remember borrowing a book of fairy tales from a library. I kept it for two years right by my bedside and read a few stories repeatedly. I didn’t like going to sleep much then because the only thing waiting for me when I woke up was school. So I kept it for two years, and read it every night when I felt a little down. One day, I decided I wanted to return it. I wanted someone else to read those stories and feel better like I did. So I returned it. The librarian was very kind and didn’t charge me for the enormous penalty. Months later, I went back to see if I could borrow it again. It wasn’t there. A few more months later, I went back hoping to find it. It wasn’t there. Well, I thought, maybe whoever took it will pass it on when the time’s right.
Aikido practitioners don’t perceive attackers as evil or someone deserving of harm. Instead, the attacker is simply another person who’s lost touch with his own nature.

It is Thorsday! Come forth, grab yourself an ally — or perhaps even one you might deem an enemy! — alongside a hearty pint of mead and bask in jubilation! Today is a day that must be dedicated toward mirth and joyfulness; and these traits are often aided with gratuitous amounts of mead, hahaha!
It’s never too late.
The last time I got involved with bicycles, I was riding one. It was my first time learning without the training wheels. Naturally, I nearly run someone over. The time before that, I got run over by not one, but two bicycles. It was a pileup, with me at the bottom. A pair of jeans saved me from skinning too badly, and it was all torn up and fit for the 80’s. Good times. Really. We laughed until we could catch our breath, and then I limped the rest of the way back to the boarding house.

A Mermaid in the cave sings to the Griffin.
Her song moves the lazy beast.
She is gifted.
Heavy wings beating, sharp claws curl under. The beast cries o u t r a g e
as he lay at her feet.
Her song
moves the beast
closer.
Her magic: m u s i c.
Feathers fall away.
He stands on two feet.
What remains -
the predatory stalk,
his claws,
and the silent threat.

Indeed @ w @ but I suppose there’s not much space in trains? It gets pretty crowded at a certain time nee. Lol, some of them like to huddle I see XD;; I shall run~
It was crowded, but not that crowded.
Awh, what to I have to be petty about? I just got home with a couple’a new pastimes. Oh, and I’ll be studying THE FORCE in other times if ‘a manual for students of the force’ has anything to do with it. Mummy approves. She got it for me.

LOL XDDDDDDDDD that’s really funny XDD oh gosh~ you don’t get that everyday nee~
On the LRT, ‘most everyone has their seriouz face on. ‘Cept for the foreigners off to get a beer. Anytime after 12pm, because no time after that is too early for beer. And stay clear of the ones that like to huddle. Apparently I was invisible to the gentleladies who were my height despite being seen by two much taller gaijin gentlemen. I could’ve bitten down on her jugular vein. Some people have no sense of personal space.

HOW DID THEY DO THAT? I WANT TO KNOW D8 Awesome~
Sorry I took a while, had to look up how does one exactly reply to a reply to a post. Then I just had to look for a reaction gif… but decided not to use it. You understand. So I was going to say ->
On the LRT
Two people
big guys
Then there’s me
eye contact
smiles back and forth
They’re talking
It’s not nice to eavesdrop,
so I’m not really paying attention
Then outta’ nowhere
Gaijin standing in front me
says to Gaijin standing beside me
“Does this make me look fat?”
or something to that effect
and I burst out laughing
and one confirms,
“You made her laugh!”
And then the other says
“You can’t laugh! You can’t!”
They seemed nice
but my mom was giving me all these bobby eyebrows
like she was trying to telepathically tell me
I’m here if you need me
or
Don’t talk to strangers, honey
So I just ended up smiling all polite
and the one standing next to me goes
“I think you scared her.”
In which a stranger tries to make me laugh
.

and succeeds.
I’m hungry and I’m not too lazy to cook.
