I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I want to see the new Zac Efron movie. I may need an intervention.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I tried to read A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore. Well written but painfully awkward characters, so after 100 pages or so of slogging I put it aside and picked up Bad Monkeys by Matt Ruff. I'm not saying the latter is objectively better, but I sure am enjoying it a hell of a lot more. NPI.

or at least just a different take on grammar and usage of modern English.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

smonster, Bad Monkeys is the most page-turningest book I've ever read. Once I started reading, I did not want to stop until the end.

Still haven't read the Moore, but I want to eventually.

OMG. I just saw "this means war" and I am really really hopin there is slash and 3some out there. Also, why is there even a question about who to pick? Is there something I'm not getting, as a gay? Tom Hardy over Chris Pine any day in my book!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The only thing I could think of was that Pine's character put out whereas Hardy's didn't. The latter seemed so much more who Reese was looking for, and her choice came out of left field for me.

Yeah, I heard they did test endings with audiences for both guys? I dunno. I mean, eventually I figured (after the grandma thing) that she was going with Chris, and Tom was gonna end up with his ex, but STILL!

Though right near the very end, I did finally notice that Tom has very British teeth. Which is not my bag at all. But STILL. I'd just make him get adult braces.

But yes, I want

1) ALL of Reese's clothing in that movie, my god. And the shoes. 2) To LOOK like her in that clothing (well, taller. I don't actually want to be teeny-short) 3) To have hot chemistry...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have decided that the teeth are what made Tom Hardy relatable, because otherwise, there's no way.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yeah, I heard they did test endings with audiences for both guys?

This kinda thing always flumoxes me. I mean, you're writing a rom com, and who she ends up with is left to a coin toss? No wonder most rom coms are drivel.
