Chally quizzes you.
And you can’t Google it first, because that would be cheating!

Today
In the last 24 hours, I have written five really excellent pieces of writing.
I have decided that my own pace is perfectly fine.
I have lot go of a childhood dream that was never meant to be.
I have found a kind of peace with myself and this year.
Happy new year.
Oh wait, you want context on this one?...

You might think from the name that awesomesauce is a food.
This is not the case!
Awesomesauce is not a food. Awesomesauce is the thing (or person) which MAKES THINGS AWESOME. Things are not awesome until there’s some awesomesauce around. Much like sauces in general, awesomesauce is what is used to make the experience awesome. Unlike sauces in general, you cannot eat awesomesauce.

Three things make a post
There are like seven tumblogs devoted to various body parts of David Tennant (and his glasses). o.O I am not following all of them, because… no.
Thank you to those people who’ve been blogging my stuff from elsewhere on here, it’s really rather sweet.
I am having a quiet NYE and a busy New Year’s Day. This will be good.

– WildlyParenthetical, commenting at Hoyden About Town (via amandaw)
Oh, WildlyParenthetical. I have this fantasy in which I create a tumblog in which every comment she makes in the feminist blogosphere is quoted. But she wouldn’t like that, so I shan’t.

You know what I really needed today? More than anything else? Let me tell you, gentle reader.
I needed more people telling me that I do not do enough. That’s what I really needed today.
You do enough.

I thought Anna was serious about brightly coloured balloons being banned in Toronto, and the tax on wicker goods. These “facts” are from a song called “I Don’t Want to Go to Toronto”. You can all laugh at me now.

An Expansion On a Thought

I just said:
When someone says that a discussion is about apples, please do not try and make it about oranges.
Or cantaloupes. Or raspberries. Or pears. Or plums. Or any kind of fruit, really.
You may think that you are being sneaky with this rhetorical tactic, in which the originator of a discussion says “hey, we are here to talk about apples,” and then talks about...

I'm pretty wonderful.
Chally: ASH!
Ash: [CHALLY]!! How are you?
Chally: Well, because I was brought into existence and remain existent. What kind of a question is that?!
Ash: You are so awesome. This is why we are friends.
But seriously

It is illegal to have brightly coloured balloons in Toronto.

My tumbularity

Is dropping like a rock. I’m more amused than anything, since it seems to take its cues mostly from the position of the stars and the tides than anything I do.

Anna is so funny that once I almost peed my pants because of something she said, and I have to be careful about drinking hot drinks when I’m reading something by her or talking to her.
Anna is snarky in a delicious and delightful way which kind of makes my toes curl a little bit.
Whenever something makes me mad or pissy, I know that Anna and I will talk...
What To Do When You Meet a Sighted Person

What To Do When You Meet a Sighted Person: People who use their eyes to acquire information about the world are called sighted people or “people who are sighted”. Legal sight means any visual acuity greater than 20/200 in the better eye without correction or an angle of vision wider than 20 degrees. Sighted people enjoy rich, full lives working, playing and raising families. They...
