I have not, contrary to what it may look like, dropped off the face of the earth.
Since my last post, I have:
1. Gone to the doctor, quit the useless imitrex (anyone need some? I have leftovers), and been scheduled for meetings with the opthamologist and an mri.
2. Done those things. The mri was today (well, technically yesterday–Friday morning). Were you aware that I have a brain? (I must note before I forget that, ha, in keeping with logic about NVLD and autism, my left hemisphere appears to be just slightly bigger than my right on all of the scans. I laughed.)
3. Been ill.
4. Saw KATE! With Ben Folds, who was also quite nice, but the important thing here is that I saw KATE!
Each of these deserves a post, and maybe I’ll get the chance to do that stuff while I head down to Mom’s house to help her put a sticker on the wall and recover my aspie book. I’m also hoping to list some of the 20 million things I have for etsy, which takes priority since I am not Dooce and no one pays me to blog. I mean, hell, no one really reads this except Kit–at least, not regularly. I think even Mom quit. So, they’ll happen. Yep.
DM CORNISH FRIENDED ME ON FACEBOOK AND I AM STILL ALL CAPSING ABOUT IT DAYS LATER.
Now I must coerce him onto my blog where he can read my fanfiction, see the art, and see my most awesome work of fannish glee: the complete and utter pedantic destruction of his map. Ha HA! (Oh, sorry, that was a bit of an homage to MT Anderson, because I like men who write under their initials and whose stories may or may not involve monsters. Hmmm, how can I get John Green involved with this?)
DID I MENTION HE FRIENDED ME ON FACEBOOK? AND HE CALLED ME “MA’AM.”
Kitty has given me permission to renege on all vows to her on the basis of this alone, but he’s married and so is everyone I have a crush on (well, married or engaged and also straight, which is infuriating), so I think she’s safe. EXCEPT: EXHIBIT A. My life is cruel.
So, um, I’ll pretend that I’m an adult now. Also, that he might actually read my blog.
Hello, there! I am far less frightening than this entry might imply! My name is Ali and my favourite things are things that I don’t like the first two or more years my girlfriend tries to make me read/listen/watch/enjoy them, and just when she’s given up on the very idea, I stumble into them and then never stop talking about the subject. We are three years into an obsession with Kate who, as Kit enjoys pointing out, my first reaction to was “meh.” She has been trying to get me to read Foundling since its release, and I resisted because I am a horrible brat. And now I made fanart and fanfic and I think I’m going to dress the kitten up as a leer for halloween if I can work out how to trick him into not clawing MY face off when I take the box off HIS face. Welcome. Please make snotty commentary. It is only deserved.
My name is Ali, though sometimes it's Eliot.
I have many tumblrs, which you are welcome to also visit:
The Polite Yeti - My personal tumblr, full of silliness.
Fuck Yeah, Kate Miller-Heidke - the only active Kate fan site, which is baffling.
The Branden Rose - the only active Monster Blood Tattoo fansite, which is less baffling.
I also have a semi-successful etsy shop, which you should visit, below.
Please buy things from me:
