Over-thinker. Easily distracted by shiny things. Oooh. Shiny.
Woke up with a cold today that’s only progressively gotten worse (and on my Friday, too, just as I’m heading into my days off, boo), so while I wait for the cold meds to kick in and allow me a decent night’s sleep, someone send me more tumblr ask memes to play with.
I don’t know where any are to reblog but I will answer any ridiculous thing if I can find them.
I just did that thing where I woke up from a sound sleep and then began to panic because I’m an hour late to work but didn’t hear my alarm and why hasn’t anyone tried to contact me why why why isn’t my phone buzzing off the hook?!?!?!? *scrambles around in an adrenaline-fueled flurry to try and get ready*
Only to realize that, oh, hey, it’s PM, not AM. I’m not an hour late to work. I just took a ridiculously long nap when I got home.

When did I create this blog: 2011
Why do I still do this to myself: because of the pretty pictures and my fandom cloister
Do I get asks on a daily basis: no thank goodness
Why did I choose the URL: didn’t want anything to tie me to a specific fandom/theme/etc because get I really interested in something and research it to death (obsessive), then am easily bored once I’ve got a good handle on the subject so I move onto something new and shiny (dilettante)
I’m actually leaving work on time and, like, the sun is still up and it feels so weird. I even got everything done and left things tidy for me tomorrow like what is this feeling of no stress and no exhaustion IT FEELS SO WRONG.
Bill Mastiff puppy! With hiccups!!!!
We have a Frenchie here who sounds exactly like a turkey and I can’t stop laughing.
The place where I first started my blogging adventures many years ago sent me an email about how they’re apparently going to relaunch this year. (Um. Sure.)
It’s weird to remember how close I was to that small community (apparently I was one of the less-than 4000 early users to get the first invite back), and I’m tempted to re-read my earlier entries and laugh at my younger self.
But mostly I’m just being hit with a wave of nostalgia.
For the first time in at least two weeks, I was actually able to leave work on time. I should take advantage of this unexpected gift of an extra couple of hours (because I’ve grown to assume I won’t leave at my scheduled time) to do something productive, but instead I’m eating ice cream and watching 1N2D without shame or guilt.
It’s my Friday, yo. Responsibilities can wait until tomorrow.
I know it’s legal here, but if hours after check-in I still feel like I’m going to get a contact high from spending time with your dog, I’m seriously judging you.
Cleaning out the science experiments stored in the fridge. Apparently it’s been longer than I thought since I last went grocery shopping. Coulda sworn it was just a few days ago – more like a couple of weeks ago. Whoops.
So no fresh produce for me, but the freezer and the cabinet tells me I can cobble together some chilaquiles.
