I was at Target today and some girl I've never met before walks up to me and says she likes my Loki Charms T-shirt.
Today was a good day. :)

I can’t get over the way this guy ~fabulously~ decorates The Hobbit set.
Is there a fandom for this guy yet?

screaming
guys i can't believe this happened
the most unbelievable thing happened to me at the dentists today omg
so I was getting my teeth cleaned or whatever, right? so the dental hygienist lady gets the pointy-poker-gum-bleeder thing and I say under my breath “cinnamon” and I guess she heard me and she gave me a look that screamed “I know what you’re talking about” and then omg she said “A bit not good?” and I said “yeah, a bit not good” and then we just went on with our lives pretending that we don’t know that the other reads gay fan fiction about tv characters omg how did this happen to me
I was also the founder of a controversial school of thought in my kindergarten class
Its easy to say that you've cried for an anime, manga, television show, movie, or book before, but what about a video game? Reblog if you've ever cried over a video game.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
Gears of War 3
R.I.P. Dom, you’ll always be in our virtual hearts…
I can easily say…
Aerith…
Final Fantasy VII…
Many tears were shed that day.
Majora’s Mask.
When I finally reunited Anju and Kafei.
^^Ditto to that. That made my heart break into tiny pieces and then fall out my eyes.
Fable 3 makes me cry like a baby
Pretty sure Mass Effect 3 made me tear up a few times. And Uncharted 2 + 3.
…Maybe I just cry easily. I dunno. lol
tumblr is boring today better go check tumblr
#I literally get bored and close tumblr only to reopen tumblr
Just fell down the stairs and i think i broke my ankle
Might need to go to the hospital
I hope it’s not broken! D:
This bullshit fighting has gone a bit far
Really? Saying Benedict should fuck off and go die? Should go kill himself because no one would care because he’s too ugly?
Making fun of his looks and name?
Really? You guys act like such 12 year olds. “OH, HUR HUR, I’M SO FUNNY. GO DIE, RINKYDINK CUCUMBERPATCH.”
You’re not funny. You sound fucking stupid.
I’m not putting my opinions towards what he said, because, really, I don’t give a fuck.
And I like Elementary.
But, seriously. This website is full of the most rude, immature, and obnoxious people.
When people say “OH, TUMBLR IS FULL OF THE MOST ACCEPTING AND LOVING PEOPLE,” that’s complete BULL SHIT.
Tumblr does have many accepting and loving people, but I agree, it is also choc-full of arrogant assholes. (Read the following at your own risk. My intention is not to cause anymore drama; it is only my opinion and I would like it to be respected.)
hey i just thought you ought to know i've heard our good mr. freeman is very opposed to those pictures of his children on-set being circulated. :( Please respect his privacy and delete the photo from your blog? I wouldn't ask if I hadn't heard about it.
Ah, thanks for the warning! I’ll delete it asap.
Okay, so I just got into a karate match with a fucking mosquito in my bedroom.
If my mom had walked in while I was trying to kill the little fucker, it would’ve looked hilarious because I was karate chopping and bitch-slapping everything trying to get the mosquito. xDDD
And now, off to watch the last episode of Sherlock season 1 with my mother (provided her boyfriend isn’t hogging the TV again).
"When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate. When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards." He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..." Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing."
oh my god
BEST JOKE.
THIS JOKE SHALL BE TOLD FOREVER
SCREAMS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH.
HEEEHEE I LOVE SILLY MUSIC JOKES
