Neil Gaiman: On Writing. (A bit long. Sorry.) →
neil-gaiman:
I got up this morning, and read the thirty or so questions that people had left in the last 8 hours. And apart from the few that wanted to tell me that, honestly, there’s nothing in the whole world like a photo of a gentleman holding a small yellow chainsaw, most of the rest of them were writing…
1) This is great stuff, I suggest everyone who is into writing takes a look.

But they have no idea who you are (but you know who they are). Fortunately I restrained myself just in time to prevent awkwardness.
This happens to me so often I cannot determine whether or not I have an abnormal capacity for remembering…

The book I’m reading right now has a chapter called “Bede vs Beowulf.”
It is contrasting the view of the church in Anglo-Saxon England that can be gleaned from the two texts, but I really want to see a monk and a warrior king battle it out.

The Anglo-Saxons had no need for kitties.
The best typo in lecture notes I’ve ever made.
I meant to write cities. I mean it’s clearly wrong, everyone has the need for kittles.
Oldorable.
Old characters being adorable.
Me: Hello, here is my essay for this week that I just spent the past eleven hours working on with only two hours break for the necessaries of consuming food and because my eyeballs were dropping out.
Tutor: Oh. Well, I'm pleased it's here, finally.
Me: Finally? But it was due at five today, and it's five n- ok, so it's six minutes past five.
Tutor: ...
Me: Six. Six minutes past.

”Well, when I changed schools, when I was a kid, my Dad made a point of telling me how much he had always looked forward to Presidents’ Day, when he was a boy, because it’s the law that on Presidents’ Day, the kids who go to school dressed as their favourite presidents get a big bag of candy.”

I’ve lived in thirty-five different places in my life.
I’m an ex-Air Force Brat, and living in temporary quarters and moving about so much—especially as a child—led to a constant stream of new schools, friends, new rules and situations.
But how I viewed my experiences as a military…

Tonight I finally got into contact with my confirmation priest, so understood the Good News for the first time in my life.
My friend and mentor convinced me to return to church. It was a life changing event. In anycase I am going to try and love those who hate and my posts will be more or less against radical feminism if I choose to do them. In anycase maybe I’ll call them amazons or...

I get really frustrated with people in the pagan/new Age/other woo-woo communities who bitch and moan about how horrible Western medicine is because of various reasons. There are problems with health care, yes, and pharmaceutical companies overcharging and undertesting at times.

Rewatching Children's Shows Meme
This is an idea I’ve had for a while, that I’ll give a go if I get some spare time.
Rewatching Children’s Shows Challenge!
Find a TV programme that you loved as a child, and review it with your added years! I think one you’ve not seen since the original viewing will probably work best.
I’ve made a quick template, but of course you don’t have to follow...
