Dear Diary,
Today I have acquired a new blorbo. It is, of course, a wretched little man with a somewhat twisted sense of honour. I put him in my blorbo basket and carried him home. Tomorrow I shall display him on the mantel when my friend comes for tea.

*chasing a rabbit around the backyard in circles* NOT NOW, PLOT BUNNY!!!!
#the folks throwing carrots are important to the ecosystem#never underestimate the power of a reader or friend who is excitedly commenting 'yes and'#'or what about'#'OH OH WHAT IF THIS'#and then suddenly the writer has a thriving colony of lagomorphs#and an overwhelming need to screech at anyone holding carrots#queue a little dance

Sometimes when Iβm down, I remember that scene at a convention when Leonard Nimoy and De Kelley are reading fanfiction to the audience, and they pause at a scene to remember the destroyed Enterprise and place their hands over their hearts
and De does a double-take, skips over to Nimoy, and fixes his hand so itβs on his lower ribcage, where the vulcan heart actually is, and then goes back to his spot and remarks something likeΒ βI should know Iβm his doctorβ and continues on.
