If you want to be friends with me you don’t have to be “Hi, um, can, ya know, we be friends?”

It is 1000000000000000000000% percent ok if you just go into my inbox can go. “Man, I am so fucking pissed off at fucking Michael.” And I’ll most likely respond with, “Oh shit! What did Michael do now?“ 

this is such a good post because asking ppl if you can be friends can make them feel so uncomfortable but if you approach them like this its SO EASY to start a conversation and let a friendship develop naturally

the thought of becoming an adult one day is the scariest thing ever why cant i live the rest of my life blogging about fictional characters and laughing at stupid shit

I am going to let you in on the worst-kept secret in fandom: we’re actually mostly adults around here.

I am thirty-two years old.  One of my oldest friends is pushing forty.  His older sister is forty-six.  We all blog about fictional characters and stupid shit.  One of the first people who ever GMed a tabletop RPG for me still goes to cons.  He’s at least fifty.

We are all, in theory, grown adults who are holding down jobs and have cars or rent or morgage payments or student loans and/or marriages and/or children.  We vote and eat bran-tastic food for our hearts and buy sensible shoes.

Also, the first song I danced to at my first Homecoming dance was recently played on a local oldies station, dear god.

I mean, seriously.  Grownups. We made it to the other side, fan-brains intact.  So can you.

Becoming an adult is not scary.  Becoming an adult is not about stopping with the tumbling and the cat videos.  It’s just about doing that shit between work and errands instead of between school and chores.  It’s about being able to do different kinds of epic shit — I may not be able to write another 50k fanfic, but I can decorate my entire kitchen in Captain America stuff and re-wire my rice cooker so the light looks like an arc reactor.

If you’re worried about no longer being fannish and not liking ridiculous silly shit (I assume ‘for no good reason’, aka ‘growing out of it’), you’re worried about becoming boring, not old.

So what if people call what we do childish?  A: they’re wrong, there’s some serious grown-up badassery going ‘round in fandoms, and B: what’s wrong with being childish?  Are children something we should avoid being like?  Doesn’t everyone wish they could return to childhood?  

We are living a friggin’ eternal youth on the internet.  Anyone tells you ‘grownups don’t do this stuff’ is just jealous.  Hmph.

Now get off my damn lawn, kid.

Seriously, we can all live this beautiful grown up fan life forever. 8D

… holy shit, is this post still going around?  I just turned thirty four, which means it’s literally years old.  Years plural.

Still a good post, though. *high fives* I CAN ADULT AND FANDOM AT THE SAME TIME YOU JUST WATCH ME

*is 30 and has a baby now, but will never be boring*

OK yall, I need a favor. For the next podfic i’m doing, I need to find the clip from Mad Max where Furiosa says “want that thing off your face?” but i REALLY don’t want to wade through all the other clips to find it (see also: echolalaphile is a wuss news at 11.  which is a joking way of saying i can’t deal with violence.  like, at all.  so, um, this is not the movie for me.)  I will be forever grateful if you find it, and will even credit you on AO3 when i post the podfic.

Strong words to use on a Resume

If you have ever had to write a resume for work or for an application, then you know the hardest part is figuring out what type of words to use that sound professional and and intelligent.

Example: If an application asks you if you have any relevant experience for a job at a day care center and you have experience, like you have babysat children. You would look at the words in the columns to see what words you should use that will help your resume stand out. You might put down “Have supervised and attended to children on a regular basis.”

I hope this is helpful to you.

Now this is a great resume list of action words.  I love that it’s broken down by types of jobs.  Saving for future use.

•your anxiety has made it difficult for you to voice your opinion

•your anxiety has made it difficult to dress the way you want

•your anxiety has made it difficult to ask for help

•your anxiety has made you constantly worry if you are being annoying and wonder if your friends and family are valid relationships or if they just put up with you because they have to

And please know that you are not fighting this battle alone. You are worth more than your anxiety says. You matter and so does your opinion and your say.
You are awesome
