http://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-LB-51793 This is honest to god one of the funniest things I think I have ever seen. The idea of giving a baby a theme party based on a local personal injury attorney is something i am so jealous of I dont know how to properly put it into words. Also the fact that the lawyer didn’t come to the party somehow makes it even funnier.

spring horror is good because of the symbolism of death and rebirth and storms and everything being vibrant but still cold. and summer horror is good because sweltering heat and insects and long days. and fall horror is good because halloween and death and scary movies. and winter horror is good because snow contrasting with blood and freezing temperatures and long nights. btw.

A fascinating, revelatory memoir revealing the author’s struggle to come to terms with her own sociopathy and shed light on the often maligned and misunderstood mental illness. Patric Gagne realized she made others uncomfortable before she even started kindergarten. Something about her caused people to react in a way she didn’t understand. She suspected it was because she didn’t feel things the way other kids did. Emotions like fear, guilt, and empathy eluded her. For the most part, she felt nothing. And she didn’t like the way that “nothing” felt. She did her best to pretend she was like everyone else, but the constant pressure to conform to a society that she knew rejected anyone like her was unbearable. So Patric stole. She lied. She was occasionally violent. She became an expert lock-picker and home-invader. All with the goal of replacing the nothingness with…something. In college, Patric finally confirmed what she’d long suspected. She was a sociopath. But even though it was the very first personality disorder identified—well over 200 years ago—sociopathy has been neglected by mental health professionals for decades. She was told there was no treatment, no hope for a normal life. She found herself haunted by sociopaths in pop culture, madmen, villains, and monsters. Her future looked grim. But when Patric reconnects with an old flame, she gets a glimpse of a future beyond her diagnosis. If she’s capable of love, it must mean that she isn’t a monster. With the help of her sweetheart (and some curious characters she meets along the way) she embarks on a mission to prove that the millions of Americans who share her diagnosis aren’t all monsters either.

"if you ship this thing it's because you're too naïve to understand that it's toxic and that you wouldn't like a relationship like this" actually it's because I see one of them as a mentos drop and the other as a bottle of coke zero and I want to watch the mess they'll be together

unusual associations tag

An old tag from wonderful @sleepyowlwrites, and because she has lovely taste, I'll fill this one out for Antonio West. :)

Rules: pick as oc and answer their associations

Seasoning: Basil, I think. Dried or fresh, because he's versatile like that ;)

Weather: Blustery but sunny, the kind of day that makes you feel alive and ready to take on the world

Color: I know Owl and I differ here, but in my head, he's scarlet red

Sky: Dark gray thunderclouds that look menacing but end up floating away without a drop of rain...

Magical power: If Antonio had one, it would be persuasive speaking, I think, and he'd abuse it so badly but with such good intentions. It'd be terrible 😂

Plant: Antonio is a columbine, fancy and elegant. And fiddly.

Weapon: Flirtation and kindness, and in extreme circumstances, a pistol. But he doesn't believe in shooting people, so it's iffy

Social Media: Antonio would be on tumblr making all kinds of indecipherable posts that are huge hits. He's super funny and unbothered when dealing with anonymous hate :)

Makeup product: Hmm...something a little bold--green eyeshadow, maybe

Candy: A nice bar of dark chocolate!

Fear: Antonio's biggest fears are being useless, and also being alone

Method of long distance travel: The train!!!! 🚂

Art style: We're talking such wonderful stick figures.

Mythological creature: Hmm, I'm gonna say a fairy--curious and excitable at first glance and dangerous underneath

Piece of stationary: Fine cream paper with a red embossed signature

Celestial body: Antonio is a cluster of shooting stars :D

I don't know what tenth circle of hell my YouTube algorithm fell into, but I really wish it would stop showing me videos of 5 a.m. morning writing routines.
