I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

He'll turn 17 in September (so he'll actually start his senior year of HS as a 16 y.o. Wacky.)

Leif will graduate HS at 16. It's still weird to think that.

It's still weird to think that.

Is it safe to admit that I totally don't get tumblr even a little? I feel the same abou twitter, except I do get twitter, I just forget to use it.

I've come to like Twitter. Between my blog, twitter, facebook, here, and one more place, I feel like I'm social-media'd out right now.

At this point, Tumblr is probably my favorite of social media sites. (I still love LJ, but hardly anyone is there.)

Tumblr is very visual, and often very funny, and very pretty, and sometimes thinky, in shorter bites.

What Amy said! Plus there's a huge Goth community on Tumblr, which makes me happy. Okay, and a little ::headdesk-y:: sometimes, but mostly happy.

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

Tumblr is, at its core, a list of pictures. You don't have to understand it beyond being able to say "I like that picture!" "I want that picture on my thingy!" "You have good pictures--I'm going to keep an eye on you, bucko!"

Most of the other stuff it wasn't engineered well for. But that it's pretty good at (I wish it defaulted to higher res, but? Free image hosting. End of whine.).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Huh. It turns out you can overload on cute at Cute Overload. This is the picture that broke Matilda and drove her into a cute-squeeing frenzy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"You have good pictures--I'm going to keep an eye on you, bucko!"

Alternately, half of your pictures are fantastic and the other half make me want to never see you again. So it's full of quandaries too. Not that I am talking about one specific account that is no one here, nope.

I haven't found a perfect tumblr yet, but given the amount of time, money, and effort I put into feeding my ecosystem with only the purest of the shit (almost zero, zero, and a little bit), I don't expect much more. If they talk about things I don't tolerate, unfollow and out of my memory.

Ahahahahahaha. I bet I know who you're talking about.

Speaking of Tumblr, I sent a message to one of my babygoths (well, she's 18, but I still think of her as a babygoth) letting her know that I was unfollowing her Tumblr NOT because I didn't like her or was upset, but because I look at Tumblr at work, and really shouldn't be scrolling past her enthusiastic reblogging of fetish-themed porn (actual porn).

Yeah.

It's just a kink niche they like that is so not my beautiful cake. But half of the posts are quality and I don't always see them reblogged elsewhere. So I kinda squint at each update to determine if I should pause or scroll quickly.

People talking about things I don't tolerate, I just unfollow those.
