I've been up two hours and haven't eaten cause the dining hall doesn't have breakfast Saturdays, but even though I'm hungry and brunch started half an hour ago I haven't gotten out of bed cause I'm too lazy to go get food, or do schoolwork, or be in any other way productive.

Almost to the dollar, I owe as much in students loans I have in the bank. *gulp*

The more I read fanfic elsewhere, the more I appreciate the kittenboard. There are a number of reasons for this, but #1 is that here we're guaranteed a happy ending; when I read my Babylon 5 ship I never know if my OTP is going to ride off into the sunset or one of them is going to be taken forever and the story end with the other completely devastated (or in one case weirdly pregnant with the child of her dead lover).

I haven't actually eaten fast food in years, but I still go to McDonalds this time of year for one thing. Shamrock shakes.

This is not exactly a fact - more of a working theory I have. You know how everybody falls down at the end of most episodes of Peppa Pig? I think they all have epilepsy.

EDIT: Shamrock Shakes ROCK. This is not a theory.

@gorn Yes they do. I've had 4 in the past 2 days. This is why I love my wife.

OT: My mom and I talked on the phone for an hour tonight. Our usual is 20 minutes but she was really into the conversation. I love when she does that, especially when she includes my wife.

My USB pendrive went through a long hot wash in the washing machine and a full cycle on high heat in the tumble dryer and survived. All data intact, and readable, thankfully

I just impulse-purchased two magazines that feature Tatiana Maslany, even though I had been saving that money for other things. Oops.

[JustSkipIt]

Very understandable. She is amazing.

My cat had to go to the vet today to get neutered. He didn't put up a fight, he didn't even mew. And now he is walking around the house like nothing happened. Good boy.

I will never be able to explain or justify the amount of love I have for Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang."

Useless fact of the day. It's not true that "The Brady Bunch" was the first to show a couple in one bed, the very first sitcom "Mary Kay and Johnny" had them sleep in the same bed, but only because they were married in real life!
Now imaging the 1950s sitcom version of " The Willow and Tara". Ok, I need to imagine harder..

I'm not a pussy. I got my first ever tattoo in a very sensitive area. My inner right thigh. I didn't faint or cry. It fucken hurt like hell, but I was quiet about my pain. I just kept cursing in spanish in my head. lol

Since watching Smallville I realized Lex Luthor has been shot a crazy amount of times. Clark Kent and company have totaled so many vehicles. Lana Lang has no scars from all the injuries she's had on her face. Everyone there must have amazing healthcare. I know it's not Obamacare.

[_Salix_]

Okay, this will blow your mind. My name... is not Salix. *boom* That was your mind exploding.

Here's the real fact: In. 7th grade, I told all my friends to call me Bill. The only one that actually listened was Lexi's dad. He gives every one of Lexi's girlfriends a boy's name. Georgie was George. Adria was AJ, Stephanie was Stephen, I was Bill, and Olivia was Oliver. Oh! And Ashley's boyfriend Isaac was Izzy. Why did I make him call me Bill? Because my freaking name has no nicknames!

Another fact: Over the summer, I worked my hardest to try to talk like Faith. It kinda worked, but I couldn't show it off. Why? Because my mom said "oh, by the way, you're gonna be homeschooled this year." So yeah. I haven't seen Lexi in months and I'm going to die. Damn, this post is too long. Sorry.

The slender head of the narrow-headed vole may have evolved to allow it to move more easily through crevices in frozen ground. Wikipedia don't lie.

I don't know how far I will go with this, but am taking a page from The Notebook. I want to write a letter a day to my love. If I don't complete a year. I at least want to do it until we see each other again. So far I've written 11 letters and have sent them. She has no idea yet.

Someone who wants to date me and apparently likes me very much used to date a now famous singer from the ages of 13-17, its funny because I love her music and listen to it regularly. I feel kind of intimidated that she was his first love....

[BeneathMyWillowTree]

Wow, I freakin made it man. I completed my year of no junk food at all. Meaning no chips, cookies, ice cream, candy, chocolates, anything like this I avoided for a year. I feel more empowered because these are things I do every year. I propose something to myself to try or swear off for a whole year. This is awesome!!!

My wife tells me there's a special place in heaven for the person who unclogs the toilets. Pretty sure I've been duped.

So apparently it's not okay to just assume everyone likes heavy metal. Nobody ever tells me these things, how will I learn?!

Every tree on my property is a Willow.
Every tree on my street is a Willow.
This makes me happy

[Azirahael]

To follow on from the Willow tree thing, i am constantly covered in bits of willow.
Either the seeds, or the little fleur-de-lis shaped seed covers.

And this morning while taking a shower, i though to myself:
"Self, this is probably the only time you'll not have willow stuck to you."

And right on cue, to the very second, a willow seed floated gently through the window, and landed on my arm.


Willow is with me always.

Cleopatra was closer in time to the moon landing than she was to when the Great Pyramid of Giza was built.
Actually, it makes the her time period sound like a lull..
