TOO MUCH TEEN WOLF IN MY HEAD, OH MY GOD.

I'm already writing a future fic for the end of Season 2 and now I'm trying to find an awesome AU idea to write.

I need serious help, people.

I really like my wand.

And then my house........

In my excitement I forgot to post my username. It's WildMist34. :D

Yes, this is technically Day Two, but I got behind. So sue me. I'm still doing it anyway!

What words of reassurance do you want to share with people who feel embarrassed about their hobbies?

Two word: don't be. I used to be totally embarrassed about roleplaying on the internet. Firstly, when I tell people about it, they give me weird looks because most of them don't know what exactly it is or they think it's something sexual (role playing does not always equal sexual, people!)

Once you begin to embrace your hobby, you'll really start to enjoy it more fully. If you're embarrassed by telling people about it, then you aren't ever truly going to enjoy it.

Why are you proud to identify yourself as a geek? Can you do this in a way that doesn't condescend or sound elitist?

Oh absolutely. I'm not elitist in any sense. I know that there are many, many better writers out there than me. I'm a great writer, sure, but I humble myself against those I've worked with who are far superior at what we do, especially for the fact that we just do it for fun.

It's probably sad when you run out of all your good underwear that you like to wear because you need to do laundry pretty badly, but you are too lazy to do it until the absolute last day that you have to do it in order to have clean clothes for the new work week so you start wearing your granny panties that you haven't worn in years that are still in your underwear drawer only because you just haven't bothered to clean it out and throw them away but thank goodness you hadn't been bothered because if you had then you would have had to do laundry a few days ago and that would have ruined this entire cycle that you've started.

Yeah, it's probably sad, but I'm doing it right now anyhow.

I suppose that in a sense, wearing spanx really makes me a liar about my body image. They tone me down, bring all my fat into a manageable, sausage like shape, and make everything look streamline and nice instead of lumpy and bumpy.

I bought them to wear with my bridesmaid dress so I do not look funky shaped underneath it and don't really intend on wearing them at any other time because it's 110 degrees out half the time and it's hot enough without adding another layer of clothing on under what I already have to wear. When I have worn them under my capris to the bridal store (because it takes about five minutes just to get the suckers on and the first time I regretted trying to put them on in the actual store because I was sweating bullets and half dead trying to pull them on in that tiny little room standing up with the attendant outside asking "is everything okay") they make my pants feel too damn big and also make me feel sweaty and uncomfortable anyhow. Plus they cover my stomach and make me feel like I have some sort of alien trying to bust its way out of my stomach and create a new alien/human hybrid race so I'd rather just stick with wearing them for the wedding.

But am I lying to everyone by saying that I am this perfectly shaped person when really I am super lumpy? I usually buy my clothes specifically to make certain that you cannot see these lumps and imperfections because it is more flattering, because I have seen people who like to wear super tight fitting clothes when they are lumpy and bumpy and it's not attractive and I don't want to look that way, but should I be advertising what I really have instead of hiding it? Or do people pretty much know by my general size and demeanor what I've got underneath regardless of whether I broadcast it with tight, ill-fitting clothes or not? I know What Not to Wear has taught me how to dress properly, but maybe I shouldn't be lying to everyone, maybe I should just tell you all the truth and throw the spax away and let it all hang out in my bridesmaid gown and be the lumpy, bumpy bridesmaid.

I think my TV schedule has taken a nose dive into insanity. Especially when I'm having to record two shows on DVR at the same time which means Mom can't even use the TV. Lol

Here's what I'm watching this fall. Those that are italicized are still being "tested" as it were. I may not stick with them. Somehow, I'm not sure if this is all of them still. Lol
