anyone have any 30 day gif challenges they’d like to toss my way? Thinking about trying to find one to do.
Let me know?
random fact, that jack/ianto kiss I used in the gifset is in my gif folder as “Jack Ianto makeout”
Allright so I went and got a job. Hubby is still looking for work. I’m gonna keep doing the freelance writing on the side. That starts June 1, so hopefully we won’t be struggling so hard for rent next month.
Random person stuff, you can skip it
I gotta give up on trying to make it a go at freelancing and writing, at least for now. I’ve been crying about it all afternoon, but I gotta woman up and do what needs doing. I applied at the other phone customer support place in town and monday I’ll put in more applications. I was doing all right with the help of mturk, but they shut down my account today (I don’t know why, I’ve emailed them). But unless that’s fixed I lose the $80 I had made over the last few days. It’s looking like we’re going to have trouble making rent again, but I’m trying.
Hubby had a bit of work, but he’s out again, still trying to find something else permanent.
Still going to Con next weekend because I’m not paying for any of it, much as I wish I could. I just feel helpless right now and nearing the end of my rope.
I just wanted to say this:
I mostly came to tumblr via the Doctor Who fandom, and then Torchwood (It’s all Captain Jack’s fault). Checking my tumblr history I watched Torchwood in April 2013, more or less (I still haven’t watched Miracle Day. I KNOW).
And, despite often feeling like, and saying, that I came to the Torchwood fandom five years too late, I want to say that I love this fandom and they’ve always made me feel welcome.
(also I wouldn’t be where I am now if not for awabubbles and jazzforthecaptain)
I just wanted to say this: I’m a 36 year old white straight cis woman. I’m trying to fix my language and root out anything that’s not right. If I misgender you, please let me know. I may will make mistakes, but it’s hard to undo 30+ years of habits
We were discusing history tonight, and I was thinking about it. I was born in 1979.
I was born 10 years after the moon landing.
I was born a year before the first women graduated from the service academies.
Also I’m old enough to remember when we bought our first VCR, the Challenger disaster, the fall of the Berlin wall and I didn’t get my first CD player or the Internet until my senior year of high school.
And I remember being floored the first time I saw the Internet with pictures.
I also remember the transition to debit cards.
History is weird.
I’ve been describing this story I want to write as ‘a pansexual space pirate and her lesbian girlfriend’. But then I also described it to my friend as “Star-Lord/Doctor, but with chicks.”
Don’t worry, there’s actually a plot in there.
You know you have self esteem issues when your best friend tells you to say “I’m awesome” out loud and you can’t until she traps you and won’t let you out until you say it. And that’s after a lot of embarrassed giggling.
She said she was gonna smack my arm every time she heard me say something negative about myself. I told her that was very Pavlovian of her.
