The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I love L'WOW. I want a t-shirt.

I just got asked the same exact question by three people in three different offices. Gotta love Mondays

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey, a question came up at the office here: how do Americans specify start and end dates for the seasons? Do you do calendar months, or kick them off at the solstices and equinoxes?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

You mean sports seasons or Fall, Winter, Spring?

I believe we technically abide by the Equinoxi (!)/Solstices, but I tend to think about seasons (at least when I was in the midwest) according to weather. Spring is officially in March, but I didn't even consider Spring until late April. I called it winter from mid-November through mid-April.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think seasons officially start on the 21st of March (spring) June (summer) September (fall) and December (winter) but I feel like people basically decide what season it is by the weather or whether or not there's school.

Yeah, like summer runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day (last Monday in May to first Monday in September), even though it really doesn't.

I never seem to remember, however, that Spring in the Bay Area starts in February...

Spring in Utah is March to May, maybe June, whenever you start feeling that standing in the sun is torture rather than wonderful. Summer is June-ish to August, with late August early September being "it's almost over, the blissful cool weather isn't a lie, it's really coming." Fall is late September to December (winter is starting later around here), or when you walk outside and remember you're in the Rocky Mountains and there are probably Sasquatch in the mountains waiting to devour travelers stranded by the snow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I totally want to partcipate in L'WOW!

I found this web app [link] that amongst other things tells you how old a given tumblr is.

I had idly wondered what the post limit actually is, and now knowing it is 250, I can't believe I follow people who regularly exceed it??

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I realise that I get scared to come back to my dash if I have a longer than usual break, because I feel I should read everything, but there's no way I really can. And, yeah, some of them do break that. Fucksticks! Also, not more than 75 original image posts in one day? I think I should hit that limit before I bow out.

I went back to my first posts, almost five years ago now, and it's all...quiet. And tagless...and me.

Oh lord -- I follow hundreds of blogs, and many of them are prolific. I just see what's there in spurts and don't worry about the rest.
