New

Ok, I lied. Yesterday was busy and I didn't have time to post. On to the list.

Resolutions: Just like 75% of the US, I make resolutions every year and utterly fail within days. This year I'm going to try to make my goals a little more vague, so that there'll be more wiggle room when it comes to meeting or interpreting them. This year I want to lose weight, relax, and be happy. There. Nice and simple.

Pictures: Dudes, the picture limit on my school issues iPad is 50 pictures; as of right now I have 940. Perhaps slightly over the top. The vast majority are thinspo, dyed hair, and fan art. It's pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.

I'm seriously such a moron. Lol.

Catch up: Hmm. Not much has happened. Christmas went well; the parentals went out for new years/anniversary dinner and baby slept in my room. Kid kicks in his sleep, and I swear he has a built in kidney detector. Freaking....

Braids: the Hobbit has infected me. Lacking a badass beard to braid as the dwarves do I've been trying to wrangle my mass of hair into equally badass plaits. It's not half bad, cept when I take the, out my head looks like a labradoodle. C3 looked like an angel when I undid hers, of course.

I feel a bit silly saying this, but I kind of... I dunno. Kind of want someone to braid my hair. In Tolkein's universe it's a very intimate thing, done between lovers or close family. It really isn't in our world, and it doesn't usually happen anyway. I've been doing my own braids since I was five, so the idea of it being such a close gesture is both foreign and appealing. I'd... like to try it. 

Of course, it doesn't help that most of the Bagginsheild fics I've been reading involve braiding as an intimate gesture and the *ahem* closeness it leads to. That, combined with the fact that I'm a moronic, confused, sappy girl... Meh.

Fangirl squealing ahead. Avoid if prone to seizures when exposed to flashing lights or high pitched noises.

OTP: Oh, and my new ship! I've got two OTPs or the Hobbit, maybe three. Bagginshield is my forever. It's so freaking painful cause I know how it ends, but I will go down with this ship. *cue Dido montage* I'm gonna cry come third movie, so hard. It's gonna be bad. Like dying. Sigh. Tolkien, rest his soul, would be rolling in his grave if he knew what we were doing to his poor darling hobbits. Double sigh. But seriously, who can resist either of them? Oblivious Bilbo and possessive/predatory Thorin are my favorites. God I'm so pathetic. Lol. I could seriously go on about these two for hours so let's stop while I can still breathe.

The other one is Durincest!brothers. I'm cool with a lot of weird relationship shit, but I'm not usually ok with incest. This pairing, however, is just love. They're written as brothers, best friends, soul mates, two parts if a whole. It's perfect in ways I can't explain. And then the death fics are just so heart-wrenchingly right in a wrong way that it's just... perfect. Yeah. Eloquent, no?

The last maybe one is Bofur. I don't care who he's with as long as he's happy. The fandom word for him is lovely, and he is. He's just a darling and I adore him to death.

Weight: I knew I'd be eating too much over break and I haven't weighed myself since Dec 21. Stupid, I know, but I'm scared. I feel like I've lost weight, but I'm a moron, so... 

Really the only downside to this new fandom obsession is that the initial high has worn off, so I'm back in the depressive "my life is infinitely less interesting than this, this has xyz and I don't, this isn't real none of it is real why can't it be real life sucks let's go find something sharp" state. Complete with the lack of mental punctuation, too. Yay.

Anyhoo, when time permits I'll post my review of the Hobbit, since I'm sure you're all just dying to hear me rattle on about it some more. /sarcasm

In review, it's a new year. A new chance to slough off our old ways and find a way to be happy. I love you all and hope you find what you're looking for this cycle. 

"I wish you all the luck in the world. I really do."
