  1. Just watched Mission Impossible. Besides the fact that Hawkeye was in it (I'm assuming it's his day off from SHIELD) I'm now going around the house in the sneakiness way possible.
  2. LESS THAN 5 DAYS UNTIL BANDS OF MOURNING IS RELEASED! It's the final countdown! More on-topic, I could barely finish the first Divergent book. I couldn't take it seriously. Look, if you must read post-apocalyptic YA novels, I recommend a book called Steelheart by this guy called Brandon Sanderson. You've probably never heard of him.
  3. Mistrunner pokes her head out from behind her chair, sees what's happening and disappears again. Jasper climbs up to sit on the back of the chair, sighing. "You guys gonna be done soon? She ain't comin' out. I've even tried leaving a trail of Cheerios. That one always works." He flops back dramatically.
  4. Ah, testing. Are they doing Common Core in Tennessee too? Because Common Core needs to die. It's a terrible thing that should never have been invented. Hey look, homework I'm supposed to be doing. This happens way to often. Thing is, I like college-type courses. Like my Human Geo teacher from California or my old American history teacher. You take notes in class, you study your socks off, and you get an insanely hard test that you're insanely happy to get a B on. I loved that. It was great. I can study, but I'm terrible with the busywork. The homework. The structured stuff, because of course everyone thinks the same way. [/rant]
  5. Speaking of altars to random famous people in certain fields, my brother's calculus teacher had an altar to Pythagoras in his classroom. The offerings cup would apparently get very full around finals.
  6. [explodes with self-righteous pianist rage] [splutters] [bows at the altar of Chopin] [seriously Chopin is the best]
  7. "IT'S HYDRA!" Mistrunner screams, hiding behind her chair. She starts rocking back and forth. "I... I knew this would happen... I knew they'd find me..." she starts muttering. An exasperated-looking spren walks around to Hydra, shaking his head. "My name's Jasper. I'm Mistrunner's spren. I accept your Words on her behalf. She's gonna take a while." He disappears behind the chair again, presumably to knock sense into Mistrunner.
  8. I made up a joke. I think it's funny but then again I got three hours of sleep last night. "So, what've you been up to?" "I've been up too late" [laugh track]
  9. Mistrunner grins. "A portmanteau of book and cookie! Each type represents a different character. Just be careful, I think a couple Sadeas bookies crept into this last batch."
  10. I'll lead everybody in Sanderson camp songs. (Why is this not a thing yet? This should be a thing.)
  11. I think I can see that, yeah. I like badgers well enough.
  12. Mistrunner does a triple facepalm. "I'm so, so sorry. I'm terrible at this punctuality thing. Your Words are accepted." She offers a tray of bookie and a crown as offerings of reconciliation.
  13. I have absolutely no idea what Hogwarts house I'd be in. I'm pretty sure I'm no Gryffindor, but beyond that who knows.
  14. I'll tell you my secret. If you don't know anyone, it's pretty hard to have complex, angsty love problems. I'm so good at this.
  15. Mistrunner gasps as she realizes there was chocolate, then breaks into sobs as she realizes that Alex has eaten it all. She goes outside to take some deep breaths.
  16. ...do you see anyone complaining?
  17. It bugs me when people say that stuff like Autism and ADHD are things to be cured. Yes, they can cause problems, but they aren't a problem. I was going to go on, but instead of me, I'll let Jacob Barnett talk some. He's autistic, was told he'd never speak, and made groundbreaking advances in astrophysics at ten years old. Best. TED Talk. Ever.
  18. While the rooms are still virtually empty, Mistrunner slides in silently and grabs a root beer, glancing around awkwardly. Nice having the place to myself, she thinks. Quiet. Very quiet.
  19. Naw, it's for the spectators watching the mob.
  20. I first read this as "James is terrified of chicken." It took me a minute.

  22. My new glasses are almost horn-rimmed. I'm a librarian-in-training.

  23. ...basically. We can be procrastination buddies!
