Yeah sex is great, but have you ever had Nintendo validate the ship you’ve put 250,000 words and 2 years of your wild and precious life into in canon?

My parents sent me this pic from 2nd grade doing Laura Ingalls Wilder cosplay and all I can say is, time is a flat circle.

If I win our local tea salon’s best-dressed contest with this, I can officially say my gown is paying for itself/I’m a professional cosplayer 😂

Just thinking about how I have never received as much male attention as I did walking from Union Square to the Ferry Building in San Francisco carrying two gigantic Nintendo Store bags.

I found my spouse the best Valentine’s Day card (even if I’d make some drastic title changes, but that’s okay! That is o-Kay.)

Found a VHS recording of my 2003 high school Midsummer Night's Dream production in which I played Titania and the convert-to-digital company emailed me the files today, and I'm feeling just like the lady in Titanic seeing her picture.

A dear friend took my headshots today and I’ll be real, it’s been pre-pandemic since I’ve liked a photo of myself, let alone a screen-full of them.

I got a check for 6 months worth of royalties for my essay collection, which was published in March 2018, yesterday. The fact that ANYONE in the world is still buying and reading my work SEVEN YEARS after its launch is a goddamn miracle, and I’m immensely grateful.

I opened up a box I haven’t touched in 15 years or so, and found my complete Kirsten collection, including the little handmade additions I made as a kid to augment what I couldn’t afford from Pleasant Company, including this diary I wrote for her, which might be my first fanfic ever 😂

2024 was personally fantastic but so widely awful…I finished a novel (my first), also a steamy sprawling fanfic (lol not my first), went to my first renn faire and Medieval Times, visited my first European Christmas market, threw my 2nd (but best) Zelda-themed birthday party.

I’ve made quite a few sandwiches in my life. Some of them were pretty good, every so often they’ve been memorable. But this is the first to transcend into divine perfection.
