This actually happened today. I was only going to get a book of Sylvia Plath’s poems and ended up with two books of Sylvia Plath, Edgar Allen Poe’s Complete Works, The Best Stories of De Maupassant, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche.
Fuck I love bookstores.

#santana is so proud to have brittany as her girlfriend that she uses any chance she gets to say the actual word #just wait until they get engaged #then it will be brittany my fiancée this and brittany my fiancée that #and when they get married santana is going to be so into using the word wife #’this is my wife brittany’ #’my wife is the best wife to ever wife’ #’good morning brittany my darling wife’ #and brittany will just smile happily every single time and give santana a little kiss because she loves her so much#and brittany loves the way santana cherishes her and their relationship
I love this because I can relate to it so strongly. I think it’s more than pride, though, that has Santana saying ‘my girlfriend’ whenever she can. It’s that she finally has the freedom to say girlfriend instead of friend. It’s the absence of that pause that inevitably came before saying friend, because ‘friend’ wasn’t quite right, and didn’t really cover it, and always felt like lying, or an insult. And now, there’s no reason to hesitate. No reason to lie.
I came out to a few of my closest friends a while ago, and to my mom pretty recently. I still hesitate sometimes when talking about Brittany, but then I remember there’s no reason to, and I say ‘my girlfriend’ with as much pride and relish as Santana does.
Because we’re finally free to.

It's so overt, it's covert.: BECAUSE WE’RE GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER
I’ve been tagged by my lovely girlfriend, Brittany. :)
Rule 1 – post the rules.
Rule 2 – Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then make 11 new ones.
Rule 3 – Tag 11 people and link them to your post.
Rule 4 – Let them know you’ve tagged them.
== BEGIN! ==
1. A movie you love because it made you bawl like a baby.
Hmm…quite a few, but Up was probably the most recent. I also always tear up at the end of The Shawshank Redemption, no matter how many times I watch it. Fabulous movie.
2. Favorite Disney movie? Disney/Pixar included.
I love Disney too much to choose just one, but I could probably watch Mulan everyday for a month and not get tired of it.
3. A character (or two) you feel you have a lot in common with.
Well…Spock. Of course. Also, Ender from Ender’s Game, one of my all time favorite novels. (Not that I was a super genius as a kid, but I *was* a faster learner than most of my classmates, I didn’t fit in and got picked on in elementary and middle school, and I had an older brother who liked to torture me, mostly emotionally, but we also had some knock-down, drag-out fist fights too….I usually won those. *smirk*)
4. A song that helps you through hard times.
I don’t think I really have a specific go-to song for hard/bad times. But music in general does help. I tend to play different genres by whatever mood I’m in, so when I was heartbroken a while back, Adele was my first choice.
5. Source(s) of inspiration?
That’s a pretty broad question, so I’m not sure how to answer it. I guess I tend to find inspiration in myself first, and then the people and things around me.
6. Got any rare pairings you like?
I don’t think so? I’m not sure, because I usually don’t know which pairings in a fandom are rare or popular. I like Blair/Jo from The Facts of Life, which isn’t common, per se, but within the fandom itself, it’s a fairly accepted pairing.
7. A male/female celebrity you would actually say yes to if they showed up and proposed.
Uhh…probably nobody. In general I’m not interested in the celebrity behind the character. I mean, I don’t know them, and will probably never meet them, so I just don’t really care to know the details of their lives. Now if you asked for a *character* I’d say yes to, I’d have a whole list. xD
8. What’s your passion in life? If you’re still trying to figure it out, toss me some interests.
Martial Arts. I’m a third degree blackbelt in a Kempo/Hapkido mixed style, and I teach full time at one of my Instructor’s karate schools. I can’t imagine my life without the Martial Arts in it. I have other interests too, of course, but this is definitely my passion.
9. The pairing that got you into slash (because I assume that if you follow me, you dig gayness).
Harry/Snape, actually. Then I found Kirk/Spock through that, then a host of other pairings, then femslash, which is really more my thing since I tend to like the ladies. ;)
10. Do you quote movies/shows in everyday life? Which quotes?
Haa, not really. Unless I’ve seen a movie over and over, I won’t remember it enough to quote it. My best friend, Kelly, and I will sometimes quote lines at each other from movies we’ve watched together a million times - The Fifth Element and Runaway Bride to name a couple.
11. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?(Shamelessly stolen from Inside the Actors’ Studio)
“Welcome, my child.”
New Questions:
1. If your house was on fire, and you only had time to save one item (assume all people and pets are already safe), what would you grab and why?
2. What’s the most selfless thing you’ve ever done?
3. What’s the most selfish thing you’ve ever done?
4. You win a million dollars (after taxes XD) in the lottery, what’s the first thing you do/buy?
5. You stumble onto the secret to immortality, but it will only work one time and then never again. Would you use it for yourself, give it to someone, hide/destroy it, or sell it to the highest bidder?
6. Who is the most influential fictional character in your life to date? And why/how? (I’ll be nice - you can name more than one, but only if they come from different media. One from a book, and one from a movie or tv show, for example.)
7. Who is the most influential person from real life in your life? Why/how? Excluding family members.
8. Is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Or was Tennyson full of shit?
9. What is your favorite ability/talent that you possess?
10. Were you a well-behaved child (under 12 yrs old) or a hellion?
11. Were you a well-behaved teenager or were you rebellious?
Tagged People:
I only know a few people on here, so I’ll tag Brittany, Bigmamag, and Nix, if she’s still watching her tumblr. Anyone else who follows me, feel free to consider yourself tagged if you’d like to do the meme. XD
